For Young Mothers.

had a friend whose baby, while she
was bathing it, was perfectly happy, but
as soon as she put on the band and began
to dress it, it cried and cried, and the
mother would work with the perspiration
standing in drops all over her face.
said, 81 think you pin the band too tight
ly" She loosened it, and had no more
trouble dressing it. Afterward she said,
"Oh, if had only had some one to tell
me that before!" Another thing; Some
mothers have found it very hard to cut
the little ones toe nails. 1t is because
you tickle its foot Take its stocking
and wrap around the instep, then take
hold of the foot where the stocking is.
You will have no more trouble. Another
thing: Don't have the baby's napkins
rinsed in the bluing water. Use clear
water. The skin of babe is very tender
and the bluing irritates and makes it sore.
Some are more sensitive to it than others.

FARM. GARDEN and

The Work of Honeybees.

To secure pound of honey. which is
equivalent 10 something like 900 cells,
would take lee several years. In fine
weather the bee makes calls upon fifty to
eighty flow ers in a days outing. During
this time it collects what is equivalent to
a grain of nectar, which is a thin syrup
and has to be evaporated to make it
honey. The bee, after working all day,
spends the greater part of the night fan
ming the nectar with its wings to evapo
rate the surplus water In this way it
shortens its life by wearing out its wings.
Langstroth says that bee at the hight
of the working season lives about three
working weeks and then dies. Bees fire.
quently perish on the way home because
their wings are so shattered and splinter
ed that they refuse to support the body
If a disabled bee reaches the hive alive,
it spends the remainder of its days as
nurse, housekeeper and in general utility
work. A good and fertile queen bee
keeps the hive full of bees during the
season. When the honey flow stops, she
ceases laying at once then the workers
kill all of the drones and manifest other
symptoms of a consuming desire for re-

Crimson Glover for Fertility.

The following are some of the points
to be kept in mind in sowing crimson
clover for the North. Get homegrown
seed, not imported, sow early in July,
and depend on growth only up to Decem-
ber Sow only with the object to improve
the soil SOW to keep down weeds, and
for winter covering to the soil. The
better the previous cultivation, the greater
will be the growth. 1t is adapted to all
kinds of SOIL but especially to sandy soil.
If soil is rather poor, apply two hundred
pounds of muriate of potash per acre to
give it a more vigorous start. If farmers
will study this plant, and use it judicious-
ly, it will be the cheapest way possible to
build up rundown land. Nitrogen, the
most expensive plant food, need not be
purchased, only potash and phosphoric
acid occasionally, thus saving much of
the present heavy outlay for commercial
fertilizers.
The possibilities for improvement by
the use of crimson clover are far greater
than farmers realize. 1t must not be
condemned on one or two trials when red
clover has failed in many places for the
past twenty years.-CoHnfty Gentleman.
The Somerset reporter., 1897-06-03
Don't Raise Scrub Stock.

Scrub stock is a luxury that the bust
ness farmer can not afford because he
must know that every animal will pay its
way, and pay a profit on the feed and
care they must have early maturity and
superior quality. The wealthy business
men who are ambitious to have farm
and stock can not afford to keep any
scrub stock, but get the best pure-bred
stock, which is cheap enough now for
every farmer to bvy. Yet thousands of
farmers are breeding, raising and wasting
feed on scrub stock that millionaire
farmers can not afford, and will not toler-
ate these scrubs that eat more and sell
for half what high grades do. Look at
the markets and you see 10 per cent of
the cattle and horses sell for double the
price the nineteenth ssell for. Yet these
farmers complain that cattle and horses
do not pay. Cattle at SC and &c do pay,
and horses at $3.50 to $500 pay we'll to
raise, and the markets are more eager to
buy at the high prices all the high-class
stock that is for sale.

Pretty soon after the cricket frog ap
pears the cry OF the pepper is heard
Much erroneous information has been
published about this tiny fellow. Many
persons believe the cry to be made by
the young Of other frogs. AS matter OF
fact, the pepper is very distinct variety,
and very curious little fellow at that.
He is not more than fve-eighths of an
inch long. The peppers hibernate under
sod and in such places few inches be-
meath the surface, and when they come
out in the spring are of a grayish yellow
color, or reddish brown. During the
summer they are nearly white, but at all
times they bear upon their backs a well
defined "X'' mark in brownish bands.
The latest enumeration of the Asteroids,
or small planets, circling around the sun
between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter,
shows that up to the close of 1896 no less
than 42o had deem discovered. The num-
Der of new ones found last year was twenty,
but sometimes it turns out that the sup
posed discovery of another asteroid is
really only the rediscovery of one that had
been seen before. They connot be identi-
fed by their appearance, since, except
few of the larger ones, they are mere
specks of light, and the only way to keep
track of them is by studying the orbits in
which they travel.
The legs of an insect are peculiarly
adapted to their modes of life. The
water beetles leg is provided with srction
disks, which enable him to cling to any
thing he touches and to walk upside down.
Ants, beetles and other insects have small,
fine combs on their legs, which they use
simply to brush off their antennae. This
is what the common house fly is doing
when you see him rub his legs over the
fore part of his head. The caterpillar is
supplied with abdominal legs, which dis
appear when he becomes a moth or a
butterfly.
Experiment has shown that petroleum
ether can be used to measure, by its con-
tIaction, temperatures several hundred
degrees below zero on the Fahrenheit scale.
AT the temperature at which liquid air

ether still remains in viscous or semi
liquid condition, and continues to con-
tract with decrease of temperature.
A French scientific writer points out
that mere gain in weight should not, in
itself, be taken as an indication OF i'm
proved bodily condition 1t is, according
10 him, rather a question of the density
than of the quantity of tissue that covers
the bones. When increase OF weight
results from increased density, then the
health is really improved,
A Danish professor has discovered
that plants are susceptible to the influence
of ether or chloroform, the effect being to
awaken them instead of putting them to
sleep. The plants are also made to grow
with great rapidly, in or out OF season, a
fact of the greatest importance to garden
ers and florists.

Maine Farmer 1t may interest Maine
folks to know that cargo of oranges
recently brought to Boston from Italy
was shipped in eight thousand boxes
made in Maine. The boxes were sawed
and cut, then shipped in shocks to Italy,
where they were nailed together and sent
back full of fruit. This union of countries
so far apart is fair example of how much
one part of the world depends upon
another, and as facilities for carrying
goods increase the intercommunication
will be even more marked. 1t is also in a
small way proof that the United States
cannot afford to go alone in financial
matters These eight thousand boxes of
orangers were worth $50, 900, and the duty
was s., 900.

the woman who knows when she has done a

Working in this way has manifold evils. The

Floral Novelties.

Few flowers are more highly esteemed
than the beautiful Cosmos. Lateness of
Towering has, however, been the cause of
serious disappointment to New England
growers frost frequently killing the plants
before single blossom opened. This
strain, introduced by r. & J. Farquhar,
& Co., Boston, is very early, and quite
new. The seed was grown in Massachu-
sets, ripened and saved before the Co.'S
mos usually grown had begun to flower.
Seed sown at the usual time produces
plants which blossom in July and remain
in full bloom till frost, The flowers are
large and of a variety of colors. For cut
ting nothing is more desirable.
