Prussian Streets.

The German emperor as king of Prus- sia has the sole right to name streets, and he has just refused his consent to the proposal to call two streets after the names of Dr. Bertram and Dr. Langer- haus, two popular members of the mu- nieipal council. His majesty disapproyes of such a course during the lifetime of the godfathers. This apparently refers to men of official standing only, whose political opinions might change after the streets had been named, for the Memmsenstrasse in Charlottenburg was recently passed with approval. Some new German streets have tendency to long names. Prince August von Wur- tembergstrasse' is today 8 name and nothing more. The houses have still to be built.
 Spring Hats.
 So far as can be judged at present, the spring indications are for quiet, rather neutral tints for round hats, toques and bonnets of fancy straw, chip dunstable and milan braids, leaving the milliner plenty of scope to use the bril- liant trimmings of shaded flowers, velvet foliage, nets, feathers, handsome rib bons and dainty laces which are al- ready adorning the windows and shelves of all the large importing houses

A COMFORTABLE COW STABLE.

This makes the bottom of the rack and
should be placed 30 inches from the
floor. Place the top scantling about
two feet from the partition. This
makes the rack eight inches in width
at bottom and two feet at top. In
center of bottom scantling fasten q
ring screw to tie the halter to. Fasten
the COW with common web halter,
she wearing the headpiece all the
time. The halter end of the rope has
a safety snap to fasten into the ring
of the halter and under the throat.
The grain and ensilage box is placed
on that side of the stall opposite to the
one the COW usually lies on. The box
is for grain and ensilage and is reached
~ an opening in the partition. Place
the box slanting and the feed will cas-
lily work down 10 the lower end next
the cow. In placing the bar across
the stall bring the cows head square
ly up against the feeding rack; then
Just forward of her hind feet nail down
two by three scantling. Fill the
space f1rward of the bar with bedding,
which, being without waste, will last
till nearly worn out.-EX-Cov. w. ID.

JAPANESE EMBROIDERY.
BY the Exercise of Some CIeveruess
Really Startling Effects Can
BE Produced.

For anyone with artistic instincts
and fair knowledge of drawing Jap
anese embroidery is most fasclnat-
ing employment. The secret of the
wonderful effects produced by this kind
of handiworkis is that the japanese hest
tate at nothing which promises to pro
duce the effect they aim at. If they
desire to initiate an evening sunset
even, in textiles, they attempt it, and
the result, although it may be weird
combination that requires an eNplana-
tion to be understood, is likely at all
events to be a rich commingling of
tipts that is agreeable to the eye.
Take for instance the accompanying
sketch, which is taken from a state
saddlecloth that belonged to the rid
ing outfit of japanese noble. The
groundwork is of light blue cloth, rep
resenting sky; the birds are cut out of
thick, soft, white flannel: these are
applied with q chainstitch of white
embroidery silk which covers the
edges. The eyes are put in with black
beads, and curved stitches of white
silk are used as the markings of feath-
ers. which, stalking deep into the fan
mel, give rounded effect to the birds,
that are supposed TO be huttering over
waves dashing up against rocks. The

DAIRY SUGGESTIONS.

The cellar in which butter and milk
is kept must be dry and well ven
tilated.
If the average herd of COWS should
be tested, one, two, three or more
would be found Improbable.
If you are making the dairy promi-
nent on the farm, you should have ice,
milk house and separator.
Simply because COW is a scrub,
we say once more, is no reason to dis
card her. She may be fine COW.
But she cannot be depended upon to
reproduce herself.
If you have a clay, solid soil, dig q
hole and put the green corn into it
whole. 1t is slovenly way to make
ensilage, but better than nothing. The
ensilage must be covered.
Nothing is more important than to
accustom the heifer to being handled.
Handle her all over. Accustom her
to the touch of the hand. 1t will great.
ly help breaking her to milking.
Keep good COWS or none. The poor
cow eats feed without giving the re-
turns that a good COW would. You
throw away both labor and feed with
such a cow.-Western Plowman.

CLEANING WET SEEDS.
After Being Thoroughly Dried They
Should lie Kept In n Moderately
Warm, Dry Place.

For preserving seeds in fieshy fruits
they should be mashed and placed in
barrels to sour. In the place of cucum-
bers, melons, etc, the interiors only
are scraped out. In from 80 to 100
hours, fermentation will have ad-
vanced sufficiently to admit of the
ready separation of pulp from seeds.
The mashed fruit is placed in coarse
sieyes and suspended in tubs of wa
ter. The seeds will drop to the bottom,
while the light pulp will float and can
be thrown out; they should be then
sent through tiuer sieve, and after
three or four washings can be taken
out, spread upon cloths and dried.
With many seeds it is well to wiring
them in cloths, and thus remove the
surplus water. Many persons do not
take the trouble to wash seeds, when
growing a few for home use, merely
scraping them out upon piece of
cloth and drying them in their pulp.
Most vegetable seeds keep best, after
being thoroughly dried, in IA moderate
ly warm, dry place. Paper or cloth
sacks will answer to hold them if hung
up or placed in boxes, where mice can
not get at thcm.-Farm and Home,

COMFORTABLE STALLS.
A system by Which Each Cow Is Pro-
tected from Possible Injury
when Lying Down.

There is excellence in the plan of
tying COWS over the stanchion plan, as
shown herewith. The COW has 3h feet
in width of stall, and perfect liberty
and comfort of position. Because of
the bar across the stall floor, shown
Just forward of the hind feet of the
standing COW, the animal has always
dry, clean bed to lie in, thus keeping
her as clean from manure in winter
a. though she was in June pasture.
BY this system each COW is protected
while lying down from having her
teats and udder stepped on by her
standing neighbor. This is one of the
most productive sources of injury that
is known, and of itself should condemn
the rigid stanchion.
A closely boarded partition about
four feet high forms the front of the
stall. Each COW has space 3R feet in
width. The floor is made tight, and
there is no drop in rear of the cows, en-
cept the thickness of one plank, which
is the double floor of the stall. The
style of feeding rack secures two pur-
poses. 1t contains hay or roughage,
and Stats are placed wide enough so
the cow can get her head between
them. Their slant forces the COW when
erect to stand with her hind feet in
rear of the cross-bar across the stall
floor. In making the feed rack, nail
piece of two by eight-inch scantling
edgewise against the board partition.

FRUIT ON THE FARM.
Every Man Living In the Country
Should Raise an Ample supply
for Home Use

The greater value of fruit growing
to the farmer is not primarily in its
commercial aspect, or how much
money it will bring in, although the
receipts from the sale of the surplus
are not to be despised, either; it is
rather the health of good living" that
comes from an abundant supply of all
kinds of fruit that may be readily
grown in that locality, so that all the
year round the family may have all
they can consume. There are fruit
specialists, the Homestead remarks,
of course, just as there are specialists
in other lines of farm industry, who
make a handsome income out of the
orchard and small fruit paintings.
They like the work and therefore learn
II easily and keep on learning until
they are gray, and their knowledge be-
comes more valuable every year by
accretion. Any young farmer who be-
gins on a scale adapted to his home
needs may grow into a specialist of
this kind, but thousands never do.
This is no reason why the thousands
should not have all the fruit their fam
lilies can use. beginning with the most
useful kinds and those most easily
grown, the farmer can gradually sur
round himself with a good home or
chard and small fruits of all kinds,
that improve his living and reduce
its cost, thus adding to his comfort
and independence. We do not find it
necessary to do much in the way of
urging horticulture. Those who are
already fitted for it know enough
about it to determine for themselves
whether or not they shall engage in ii,
while those who are not sufficiently
informed must work their way to it,
II at all, by beginning at the bottom
of the ladder; and there is no better
way to do this than by beginning with
few good trees in a home orchard,
and small areas of small fruit for
home use. We do urge this upon every
farmer. If no cash income ever
comes from it, it is still worth all the
expense in time and money that 1t
costs.

GERMAN NEUTRALITY.

The English newspapers are raising the question as to whether the Ger mans have not violated neutrality ob- legations in spiriting General Augustin away from Manila on the German cruiser just before the surrender of Manila to Dewey and Merritt, the gen. eral tone of the papers being condem- natory of this last act en the war drama of the Philippines by the Ger mans. No question of violation of neu- trality is involved, however, in the rapid transportation of large crowds of our home people daily by the trolley to Lighthouse Point, that natural va cation ground in summer time. On the contrary, universal approval supports this movement as a pleasant and healthful one by the people. The point offers the varied attractions of a fine bathing beach at all hours of the tide, fishing off the rocks, lounging in the comfortable rocking chairs of the pa- vilion, inspecting the zoo, including the rare features of live tarantulas, SCOT pions, Gila monster, the Simian family, the baby bear cub, etc. But the free vaudeville entertainment community assemblies the crowd at one point on the large grounds with the opening act. At other times you will find the people scattered some in the pleasant groves, others under the large tent on the beach, in the pavilion, on the rocks, around the tropical bird aviary, etc. But the crowd is always there in pleasant weather.
