ORCHARD AND GARDEN.

Never pasture horses or cattle in a
growing orchard.
Black cap raspberries do best when
set out early in the spring.
Prune grape vines to two or three
buds of last years growth.
See that the young orchard trees are
pruned into proper shape now.
AS a general rule it is better to plant
young trees than to graft old ones.
A southerly or easterly sloping loca-
ton is nearly always best for grapes.
One important step in renovating an
old orchard is to secure proper drain
age.
Put everything in the garden into
rows; it will lessen the work of cultiva-
ton.
1t is easier to plant out trees than to
give them the necessary cultivation
afterwards.
The currant and gooseberry are
grown with the least trouble of any of
the small fruits.
In the orchard scatter the manure
under the trees as far out as the
branches extend.
There IS good demand for currants
as soon as they are big enough to pick,
and on through the season.
In planting Strawberries for market
select the varieties that will give the
longest season of ripening.
One of the cheapest and best remedies
for plant lice is the kerosene and soap
miNture.-St. Louis Republic.

ROADS IN MARYLAND.
Which Has Very Fair Pros
poets of Success.

The wheelmen of Maryland are ac-
lively interesting themselves in an eff
fort to secure good roads for the state,
and with fair prospect Of success.
They have placed themselves in COM
munication with the farmers, and it is
reported that there is an excellent un-
Outstanding between these two classes,
whose interests are so closely allied.
It has required much demonstration TO
convince the farmers that good roads
IRE profitable investment. The work
Of the agricultural experimental sta
tions in this regard has been invaluable.
Experiments with broad and narrow
tires conducted under the eyes of the
farmers have definitely shown the folly
Of maintaining the present system OF
small-tired wheels, as long as the roads
are Indifferent or positively bad in
quality. There are two points from
which to view the relationship beteween
the tires and the quality of the road.
The experiments have shown first that
as long as the roads are in poor condi-
ton, subject to much moisture and
thereby liable to become heavy and
muddy at short notice. the use of the

CARE OF UTENSILS.
Dairy Pans and Pals Should Always
Be Made of Tin and Kept
Scrupulously Clean.

All dairy utensils should be made Of
tin. 1t is a good plan to have the milk
pans and pals made to order. Use the
best tin and have all the joints made
round. After use they should first be
washed in cold water and soap and then
scalded, using plenty of hot water,
wiped perfectly dry and placed where
the sunshine will get into them. 1t is
6 great mistake to pour hot water into
milk pans and pals, for it will coagu-
late the milk in the seams and corners
and if by accident the curd is not all
washed out it will sour and affect the
next milk put in. Borax is great
purifier. If little is added to the hot
water that the utensils are rinsed in,
it will cleanse and purify them. Use
enough to make the water feel slightly
slippery. Dairy utensils should never
be used for other articles of food.
To clean tinware, dampen soft cloth
and dip it in common baking soda and
rub the ware briskly, and then wipe
dry. Milk is ready absorber of gases.
Care should he taken not to have it
stand in place which is damp or musty
or in cellar where there are decaying
vegetables or near onions, fish or other
odorous substances. Finely powdered
charcoal, which is an absorber of gases,
should be kept continually in milk
room, especially in hot weather, when
| unwholesome gases are most liable to
affect the milk.-American Agricul-
turist.

narrow tire is positive hindrance. 1t
requires more power to haul wagon so
equipped, for the tire sinks deep into
the material of the road and thus forms
for itself constant obstruction that
must be overcome. But the broad tire
has a use other and indeed better than
that of minimizing the labor and there
bad conditions that have been largely
caused by the narrow tire, serving as
a compressor and gradually compact
ing the material and greatly improv
ing it's condition. Thus the broad tire
means double gain. 1t saves the cost
of hauling, by permitting heavier loads
to be hauled by the same agencies and
in less time, and it saves, too, in the cost
of road making and in repairing. 1t is
believed that if all road users could be
persuaded to change the tires of their
draft vehicles, especially in the districts
where bad roads are the rule rather
than the exception, the ultimate cost OF
bringing the country thorougnfares up
to modern standard would within a
very short time be so low that the most
comprehensive road improvement laws
could be passed without difficulty. The
present movement in Maryland is con-
centrated in an effort to secure the en-
actment by the legislature of certain
pending bills that aim at the con-
struction of good roads by authorizing
the people to bond themselves for this
purpose. In some states much has been
done by granting exemptions from road
taxes to those road users who have
adopted the broad tires and likewise to
those who have adjusted their vehicles
SO that the front and rear wheels will
not track" thus minimizing the
chances of wearing the surface of the
road. 1t has been found that with
broad tires in use the amount of road
surfacing material needed is compare
lively small. All these facts have been
gradually and persistently brought to
the attention of the agricultural classes
so that now the plea Of the wheelmen.

MAKING FAMILY CHEESE.
You Know How to Go About It
in the Right Way.

In making cheese by the dairyman,
at home, where one does not have. al
vat with heating arrangement under
meath, the milk can be heated in TIM
heater set in a kettle in which there Isl
a quantity of water. A dairy kettle isl
the best; that is, kettle and stove
combined. If you do not have this you
can use a cauldron kettle set in an arch,
if there is draft enough so that it will
not smoke, as the smoke would faint
the milk; then, by filling the tin heater
with milk and warming it up to about,
100 degrees Fahrenheit and turning it;
up again and heating it, and continu-!
ing to do so until the temperature of
the milk in the vat is sc degrees Fahren-I
heit, it would all be warmed.
Then add rennet extract, reduced.
with one quart of cold water, at the rate
of three ounces to 1000 pounds of
milk, thoroughly stirred, So that it will
be evenly distributed through the whole
mass of milk, says George Smith, for
mer cheese instructor of New York.
When the curd is hard enough so that
it will leave the side of the vat when
pressed away by laying the back of the
hand upon it, cut it, using the per-
pendicular knife, and cut as even as pos
sible. Then stir it until whey begins
to separate quite freely.
Then dip off the whey and fill the
tin heater and warm up to about 100
degree Fahrenheit and turn in the vat,
and continue to do so until the tenn
perature is brought up to SO degrees
Fahrenheit, at which point it should
be kept until the curd becomes firm,
and when squeezed up in the hand it
will fall apart readily, and by taking
and squeezing the moisture out of it
and touching it with hot iron, it will
draw out fine threads about one-half
an inch in length. Then draw off the
whey and stir the curd until the whey
is thoroughly drained out of it, and then
stir in salt at the rate of two pounds
of salt to 1000 pounds of milk. Pile up
the curd on the side of the vat and cover
up with cloth and let it remain about
an hour, stirring it occasionally. Then
put to press, and press it lightly at first.
In "a hours the cheese may he taken
out and muslin bandage put around
it. The cheese should be kept in a
cool room and be turned, creased and
rubbed every day.-Pacific Coast Dairy.

elected to seat in the American senate
and the contest was a notable one. Col.
w. L. KnoX was member ofthe Louisi-

torial fight begun he was lying at the
point of death at hotel in Baton Rouge.
There was tie vote in the legislature.
Col. Knox was great admirer Of Ben
jamin and he determined to break the
tie and send Benjamin to the senate,
even at the cost of his own life. He
was placed on cot, carried to the house
OF representatives, and when his name
was called he voted for Judah p. Ben
jamin for United States senator. Amid
great excitement and the widest sort
of applause Benjamin was declared
elected and, more dead than alive, Knox
was carried to his hotel. He rallied in
few days and in the course of time re-
covered his health.-Dallas News.

So well is the Importance of pruning
when transplanting understood by veg
etable and fruit growers and nursery
men with their young Seeding plants
that it is common practice to shorten
branches if trees and shrubs, or dis
leave if strawberries, cabbages, celery,
etc. The same rule holds good with the
flower gardener in growing young an
nual or other plants produced directly
from the seed. With trees of consid-
cradle size, as shown by Fig. 1, this
pruning may consist in thinning out
all small brush and shoots crossing
each other so as to leave the tree with

had not attended dancing parties or gone
to theaters or had his summer outings.
Cyrus Elwood believed that the pleas
ures of the world CORFU pied boys, and
that it would not DO for his son to min
gle with these spoiled and petted chill
dren and have his head filled with non
sense.
So Burt was allowed to see all the
pleasures of the town at distance, but
he was not allowed to taste any of them,
and the result was that his appetite was
sharpened. He dared not openly covet
the luxuries which he saw others en-
ioying, but he longed for them in secret,
and he stealthily waited for the time
when he could break away from paren-
tai control and find out about things for
himself.
He was known as "good boy"-that
is, he lived in state of terror and was
afraid to openly break over the rules
which had been laid down for him by
his father. His small vices were prac-
ticed under cover. A mothers influence
might have helped him to live through
the ordeal, but his mother had died
years before. He showed no genuine
ambition to learn his fathers business
because he was at least bright enough
to understand that he would be very
rich man some day, and it wouldn't
make any difference then whether he
was good salesman or not.
In short, Cyrus Elwood's infallible
plan failed miserably. The son sulked
and obeyed and waited until his father
died, and then he showed the results of
IL years of careful business" training.
AS he had never been permitted to wear
good clothes, he now made himself
ridiculous with satin-faced coats, pearl
buttons and all kinds of extravagances.
| He crowded himself with jewelry I'M
til he resembled a king of barbaric
times. He did not know the oung men
and women of his own degree of wealth,
and could not be at home with them, for
his long bondage had given him the car
riage and manners of an embarrassed
pillow boy. He sought cheap and fashy
women and spent money on them. His
men associates were of the vulgar and
sporty classes. He became conceited by
reason CT his sudden wealth, and of
course he drank too much and was a
nuisance generally, and everyone mar
veled that an infallible rule should fail.

plant is an ordinary nursery shrub, as

then shortening back all branches even

Large Seeds Are Best.

Experiments made in England to test
the effects of size on the terminating
properties of seed shows some curious
results. Extra large seeds terminate
more quickly, more evenly, and make
better plants than those of smaller
size. Plants grown from large seeds
also mature and ripen more nearly to-
gether than those from smaller seeds.
These experiments indicate that we
should select not only the largest ears,
or seed heads, but the largest individual
seeds.-Western Plowmsn.
