fresh air and sunshine are specially
needed to promote winter laying. The

the southern side of the poultry house

of some hours each sunny day out of

THE TRAMP BOULDER.
Remarkable Evidence of Glacial Influence
in New Jersey.

Remarkable Evidence of Glacial Influence
in New Jersey.
Countless thousands of years ago
vast stretches of glacial deposits came
sliding across the State of New Jer-
sey, mounted the Palisades, pushed
their way across the Hudson River,
secured over Manhattan Island and
slid out into the Atlantic Ocean,
whittier they disintegrated and sank
into the deep or perhaps glided on TO
the other ocean shore.
But in their onward march these
glaciers left indestructible evidence o.
their grinding stride and to-day, all
along the Palisades the trap rocks anu
boulders are worn smooth where the
mountains of ice and sand passed over
them. In some rocks are deep
scratches, all pointing eastward, and
showing which way the glacial deposits
drifted. There is the evidence, mute
but indisputable.
To the careful observer there are
numberless other evidences OF the
presence of glacial influences in the
past. but none are more convincing
than the tramp boulder that has finally
settled down in the woods in the heart
of Englewood borough. There 1t SITS,
a towering mass of rock weighing per-
haps two hundred tons, and resting
upon three points which in themselves
find a purchase on fiat rock that is
part of and common to the character
of rock which composes the Palisades.
But, strangely enough, and to the Won
derment of biologists, the tramp
boulder is red sandstone from the Jer-
sew hills twenty-five miles inland, ana
the pedestal is metamorphite or sou
granite.
Around this marvellous monument
have grown trees that may, perhaps,
he a century old, and they have COM
pletely hedged it in; while the rock
itself has stood where it stands to-day
for thousands of years. On the peoes-
tai. or that part of it which is pro-
tected from the action of the elements,
can be seen the deep ridges ana scars
made across the fiat surface by the
great grinding pressure OF the Dody VI
ice and sand that passed over 1t count
less wears ago when New York was ice
and snow clad, and the world was n
desolate waste in state of chaos.
This tramp boulder has cause1
biologists much wonderment, ana IS
regarded to-day as one OF the nnest
snecimens ever left in the wake OF
glacier. It is equally astounding as
though an explorer should find the null
of a steamboat in the Sahara desert.
The only way it could get there would

Good Barn Cats,

To make a cat good mouser it
should never be allowed around the
house. To lie near the stove and be fed,
without doing anything to earn it's liv-
ing, makes cat lazy, fat and good for
nothing. There are always in the barn
enough vermin to give a good cat con-
slant employment, and she will rarely
need other food than what she can her
self procure. Such cat is easily worth
$40 to 500. On most farms it will make
big interest on these sums every year

a good cat will save from being destroy

To Make Good Tea.

Tea should never be brewed in n
copper kettle-that positively must go,
and an earthenware pot is an absolute
necessity. Earthenware which is not
glazed on the inside is the best. The
kind Of tea used is small matter OF
individual choice, but really good teas
are expensive. The best way to make
tea, although it is troublesome, is to
pour boiling water into the teapot ON
the tea and let it stand few minutes,
and after the required strength has
been acquired, pour the tea through a
strainer into another earthenware pot
over a spirit lamp which will keep the
tea hot This does away with all fear
of tannin, which Is derived from the
tea leaves sleeping in the water If 1t Is
left on them.

Secret of Success.

A ton of butter sold from the farm
costs almost nothing so far as fertiliz1ng
elements are concerned, but it is esti
mated that ton of wheat removes
about IS worth of plant food from the
soil. This $S difference must be taken
into consideration in comparing butter
with wheat production, as it represents
that amount in favor Of butter at the
start. The secret of successful farming
is to produce something on the farm
that removes as little of the real wealth
of the farm as possible.

Lima Beans.

The introduction Of the bush yarie
ties of Lima beans was an important
matter to those who make speciality
OF Lima beans. The labor of cutting
poles and the extra labor of caring T
the pole Limas made the growing of
them a risk should dry weather occur.
At the West Virginia experiment sta
ton it has been found that beans
grown in drills produced twice as much
as those grown in hills. AS the bush
Limas may be planted with a seed drill,
in rows, and require no poles, they can
be grown more profitably than hereto
fore. There are also varieties of bush
Limas that are as large as the pole
kinds, and they bring good prices in
market. These facts should be kept in
view for next year.

Keeping Hogs in Rarnyards.

1t is not good plan to allow hogs to
run loose in the barnyard with other
stock Their odor is very disagreeable
to all other domestic animals, and they
will not eat their food so we'll when
hogs are near them. Besides, cows
and horses, if loose, will trample on or
otherwise injure hogs running at their
heels. The only excuse for keeping
hogs in the barnyard is that they may
root over the excrement of cows or
horses that are fed ON whole grain. No
doubt the hogs will get some grain in
this way. But the better way is to
have the grain ground and feed enough
less to pay for the grinding. With
either COWS or horses the meal with cut
hay or straw will be much better di-
gested than will whole grain.

LARGE POtat to Yield.

The largest potato yield on record
was produced in Northern Wyoming in
1890. According to sworn testimony,
it amounted to 974 bushels and forty
pounds per acre, of which S3S bushels
were marketable. The expense of pro-
duction was stated to have been $74.SO.
Such a crop anywhere in the country
this year would have been pretty prof
table. The average yield of potatoes
in the United States is in ordinary
wears about one hundred bushels to the
acre.

Weed Flayors in Milk.

The milk is carefully examined when
received, and all that is the least affect
ed with the onion or weed flavor, is set
aside by itself, and then run through
separator, and its cream kept separate.
70 this cream is added twice its own
bulk of hot water, in which saltpetre,
in the proportion of one ounce to three
gallons of water, has been dissolved.
This raises the temperature of the mix
ed cream and water to about 16O de-
grees, and it is Immediately put
through the separator again. The re-
suit is fine, thick cream, with no trace
of weed flavor in it, and withal thor
oughly pasteuriZed, and the Babcock
test shows no loss Of fat in the opera
ton. In order to ripen such cream for
churning, starter is needed. Pas
teuriZing has been tried for the purpose
of eliminating bad flayors from cream
with partial, though not perfect, sue
cess. The same may be said in refer
ence to heating the milk and running it
through the separator at temperature
Of 155 degrees or 100 degrees. Washing
cream has also been tried, with the wat
er at the ordinary temperature Of sep
arating, and this has very materially
reduced bad f1avOrs.-Hoard's Dairy
