Thinning Apples.

Most of the early apples are abund-
ant bearers and are apt to be small.
Those that are sweet are not good for
tauch until ripe. but Early Harvest and
the Twenty Ounce apple will bear pick
ing when two-thirds grown and make
excellent pies. If this is done in all
parts of the tree, plucking few apples
where they are fullest OIL the bough, it
will make what apples remain much
larger and better, besiIles supplying
cary apples for household use, says an
exchange.

To Polish or Glaze Linen.

After. the linen has been carefully
starched, have ready at hand basin.
Of cold water, clean-coyered ironing
board, piece Of soft rag, and well,
heated polishing iron. To polish coli
lars, take one at a time. place it fiat
on the board, dip the clean rag into
the cold water, and then lightly wet
the surface of the collar. On no ac-
count must it be made too wet, or it
will blister, and be careful that no
drops of water fall on 1t. Hold the col
lar in position with the left hand, and
run the polishing iron up and down it
with the right. At first the linen VIII
have a streaky appearance, but the
smoothing must be continued until the
surface is CLOSED all over. Different
kinds of glazes are to be had for polish
ing linen, which are used instead of the
polishing iron, but they do not give
such high gloss. and are sometimes
injurious to the linen.

"By all means have a small Kitchen
writes Mrs. S. T. Rorer in reply to an
inquiry in the Ladies Home Journal
"a large kitchen with cellar door at
one side, table at another, a range at
another, and the sink at still another
requires too much walking. Time Isl
consumed in going from one place to
another, rather than with actual work
Have your range placed in light and
convenient part of the kitchen. In front
have a good-sized table, containing
drawers and spaces underneath for
keeping utensils, one portion of the top
covered with zine and the other half
left plain. Have underneath the top
baking board which you can easily
pull out The sink should be near at
hand. The pantry may be on the other
side of the kitchen, and be sufficiently
large to hold barrel of -four, a small
pastry table and a convenient arrange
ment for shelves"

Keeping Fowls Out of Mischief

Something more than feed is neces-
safy to keep fowls from running to the
gacden or the newly planted corn field,
ana scratching among the dirt Hens
do this, less to secure the grain than to
rio themselves of vermin by thorough
II busting themselves. If place close
by the henhouse is kept plowed, and
is strewn twice week with grain and
narrowed, fowls will rarely leave it

Take Care of Old Newspapers.

Old newspapers form IN import
ant part in domestic economy, and arc

for the cleaning of lamp chimneys, for
testing and cleaning fatirons, and for
dozen other things. You will also
need heaps of them when you come
to pack away the winter clothing. The
clothes moth, like other eyil-doers, has
an aversion to printers ink. An excel

Summer Pruning.

Attention should be paid to summer
pruning fruit trees. A topping of the
growing shoots just before they finish
growth will generally cause them to
set flower buds for the next season
Besides this it is the best time to prune
in order to thicken the trees.

Poultry Notes,


Better fatten and eat the stunted
chickens.
Do not mix the bone meal with the
food.
Sell poultry alive during the next
two months.
Keep eggs in a cool place until they
are marketed.
Sell the young ducks as soon as they
are ready for market.
Mixed with milk buckwheat makes
a good fattening ration.
1t is easier to avoid disease in the
flock than to cure it.
AS rule the eggs of hens grow small
er as the moulting season advances.
When the fowls are too fat an exclu.
sive diet of oats will soon reduce them.
Poultry and eggs are inseparable if
a fair profit is derived from the invest
ment.
In the smaller breeds beauty Of form
and plumage are the first require
ments.
One of the disadvantages with gum
cas- is that they are not good market
fowl.
The second year Of the hen is more
profitable than at any other time dur
ing her life.

Budding,

Buds from the largest and thriftles1
shoots generally withstand the winter
better than those from the smaller, i'm
mature wood, which are liable to drop
off, leaving the back attached. The
triple buds on the older and more ma.
tllred shoots of bearing trees often sur
vive when the single buds above them
kill out. Apricots and plums can be
worked on peach stocks, but plum
stocks are generally preferred for them.
Budding should be done during August,
and if the weather has been very dry,
so as to cause the stocks to stop grow
ing, it may even be too late; While II
there has been abundant rainfall the
work may be continued into Septem,
ber The bark must separate readily
from the stock in order to have the
work successful.-Farm and Fireside.

A Barn Cistern.

A barn cistern will be very great
advantage where large number of cat
tie are wintered. The cistern should be
placed on high ground, so that the
water can be piped directly to the cat
tie stalls. The cistern should be built
under ground. 1t may be built out of
the ground six feet or more; use the
earth that comes out of the bottom to
bank up the outside. The earth bank
ment should be five feet thick and we'll
sodded. This will keep the water cool
in summer and warm in winter. A els
tern fourteen feet deep and seven feet
in diameter will hold 100 barrels OF
water, and can be built for $50. The
fall Of the year, before the ground be-
comes saturated with water, is a good
time to dig one. The inlet pipe should
run down within one foot of the bot
tom. The inflow of water from every
rain and the constant drawing of the
water will keep the body Of water
stirred, and thus keep it pure. The rain
water that falls upon barn forty by
twenty six feet will keep the cistern

hess the annual spring whipping which

Redeemed and swollen.
Sharper and Grooms are hardened
