Fumieate the Plants.

The lovers of flowers who try their
amateur hand at raising few flower
ing plants or palms at home sooner or
later learn that plants require a great
deal Of attention in order to make them
flourish properly. One of the greatest
trials Of the home gardener is to keep,
the plants free FROM the insects that
are so apt to attack them, for which
there are a number OF remedies. One
of the most effective and common of
these is to fumigate the plart by means
of tobacco smoke, and the invention

Next to mulching there is nothing

have found many workmen in gardens
totally unacquainted with the princi-
Piles of hoeing. The hoe is drawn over
q surface already hard, cutting off
weeds close to the ground. Then the
weeds are raked off, leaving the ground
in really worse condition than it was
before, for the weeds shaded the sur
face if they did rob the ground. Hoe
ing should be fully as much to loosen
the soil as to destroy weeds. Every
stroke Of the hoe should loosen up an
inch or more Of soil, and this loose soil
should not be raked down too fine, or
the first heavy rain will beat it down
very hard. One would hardly believe
what help constant cultivation Of this
kind is to herbaceous and all other
plants. And when rain comes the
water is all taken up where it falls.

are the accomplishments Of all state af-

and your neighbor at table have your
fate in their hands. But there are
many other dinners and luncheons to
which the elect and the congruous
come; and twenty such, seated about

room, make goodly and heartsome
company. These are the dinners that
endure the supreme test-you think

Hedge Plants.

Hedges for protection are not as com
mon as they might be. They are. not
only beautiful in themselves, but, if
properly managed, are cheaper than
any ence--except a stone wall. There
are numberless instances of well-cared-
for Usage orange and honey locust
hedges being kept in first-rate condition
for half a century, and there is no rea-
son to believe they might not last for
nearly as long again. They have to
be annually trimmed, and, indeed, are
the better for two trimmings a year;
but one who understands this will get
over the work so rapidly, that it takes
little more time than it would to give
the annual whitewashing to an ordi-
nary fence. When the expression "well
cared for" is used, it simply means
that the cutting must always be Of
such a character that the bottom of the
hedge is left the widest part.-Meehan's

CHAPTER II-(Continued.)

CHAPTER II-(Continued.)
The great difficulty which my father
met with was in embodying in a concrete
and practical form the marvellous theoret-
icaI machine which he had thus evolved
from the depths of his profound intelli-
gence. This was why he had in his will
laid so much stress upon my being thor
oughly drilled in the practical details of
constructive machinery. This training
was now of the greatest service to me.
1t enabled me to succeed where my ia
Their had failed. He had already traced
out the leading principles on which /
must work, and these, with few devia-
tons and notifications, | carried into
execution. But it took me q long time
to construct a machine that would fully
answer the purpose-nearly five years. L
made numberless costly experiments with
small model machines before l was salts
fed that | had found a model that would
do. But at last found one, and at once
set to work to construct a flying, or, more
properly speaking, a shooting machine, of
suitable dimensions on the same prln-
ciple
Three long years it took me to bring
this machine to completion. Some iso-
lated portion of the work [ was obliged to
entrust to others; but all the collocation
all the adjustment of the several parts
into one whole, was entirely my own
handiwork; so that no one had the re-
hottest idea of the general principles on
which the machine was constructed, or of
the purpose for which [ intended il.
My flying machine was only twenty feet
long. The body was shaped somewhat
like a cigar, while it had curved head,
or PROV, sharpened to fine edge-not for
the purpose Of cleaving through any re-
sisting medium, for, when once beyond
the terrestrial atmosphere, the inter-
planetary ether would offer no resistance
to it's mOtion-but for purposes of attack
and Defense if [ should meet with enc
mics on my arrival in another planet.
The outer shell of the machine, including
it's sharp curved prov, was built entirely
of the extremely hard and highly mag
netic compound which has been already
spoken of, and which, unlike other metal
lie compounds was as transparent as
glass. Indeed, in appearance it could
not be distinguished from glass.
/ christened my machine the shooting
STAR" a very appropriate name, not only
because of the speed which | could i'm
part to it, but also because of an electric
star which always shone in it's head or
PROV, when it was in motion. This was
my guiding star. Whenever | wanted to
steer to any point [ always brought this
star and small, dark, stationary spot in
the summit of the electric regulator
(Which was close to my steering seat in
the STERN into straight line with the
point to which l wished to go, and kept
them in this position till [ arrived.

out the flies. The bungs ought rot to
be put in, except temporarily, for at
least a year. Keep the vinegar barrel
in the garnet, or other place where the
air is warm and sultry. The cellar is a
bad place in which to make vinegar.
To hasten fermentation, occasionally
turn the cider out Of one barrel into
another, thus exposing it more fully to
the air, and, by adding gallon of
strong vinegar Or little mother" to
each barrel. There are other methods
by which the process may be fastened
still more, such as trickling it through
beech chips or shavings; but these are
hardly to be recommended, for those
who are content to wait on the natural
process rarely fail to find themselves
amply repaid through the high value
of their product.-Farm and Fireside.

Potato Or,,e1ct.

Remove the inside from large
freshly baked potato and rub it through
a wire sieve. Carefully mix into it the
beaten yolks of three eggs, few drops
of lemon juice, and season with salt
and pepper. Just before cooking, stir
in very lightly the stif1y whipped
whites of the three eggs. Put one and
a half ounces of butter in an omelet
pan. Let it get hot; then pour in the
mixture. Fry gently till pale brown
underneath; then put in the oven until
the top is brown also. When this is
done. turn it out, sprinkle with chopped
parsley, fold over like an envelope. and
serve at once.

Electric Light by Wind Power.

Electric lighting is commonly in the
country regarded as exclusively city
luxury. 1t is likely that the expense Of
carrying wires from house to house in
thinly settled districts would be too
great to make it possible to furnish
electric light on a large scale economi-
cally. But the experience of Nansen's
ship, the Fran, on her northern voy-
age shows that electric lighting by
wind power, transmitted to batteries
and stored as electricity, is entirely
possible. In the high Northern lati-
tudes fuel was much too precious to be
used in making electric light. So big
windmill was set up, which was run
whenever the wind was favorable, and
by stored electricity made steady
light all through the dark northern
winter. Such Windmills are often used
on Norwegian vessels to work the
pumps. We may yet see farm wind
mills providing power to run dynamos
and charge storage batteries with cleo
tricity to be used for lighting farm
houses, as well as to do much work
that now taxes human muscles.

Variety of Feed for Hogs.

The hog gets at any time in his life
less variety in his feed than any other
kind of stock. This is especially true
when he is being fattened. There are
other grains that have quite as good
fattening qualities as corn. A mixture
Of oats and barley, or of peas and lar
ley ground together, makes feed that
will not only fatten, but will also fur
nish the due proportion of lean meat
that is required to make healthful and
easily digested pork.

Eggs Chilled Before Setting.

Early failure to hatch eggs very sell
dom come from lack of vigor in the
germ; for in this the early eggs are
superior. They more often come from
allowing eggs to be chilled before the
setting begins. Everyone knows that
chilling after a few days setting soon
destroys the life in the egg. 1t may
do so where eggs that have never been
set on are kept in contact with metal,
which rapidly abstracts heat when the
eggs are kept for greater safety near
the freezing temperature. Dishes for
holding eggs should be Of wood, which
abstracts heat slowly.

Seed is costly, but the poorest method
Of economy is that Of using as little
seed az possible. A large number of
clover crops fail because not enough
seed is used, and it is better with some
crops to have an extra number of
plants to come up and remove those
not desired than to have failure and be
compelled to replant, as the time lost
cannot be recovered.
