Horticulture.

Rhubarb plants should have a
liberal covering of manure to in
duce them to make an early start in
the spring, and If they are protected
so that the ground will not freeze
about the roots they will furnish pie
material very early.
Every twining plant has it's own
way of grOwing-sOme with the sun,
some from left to right, and others
in the opposite direction, but the
direction of the stems of the same
species is invariably the same, and
it will resist every attempt to change
it.
There is never anything gained by
billing tomatoes or in trimming
them after they have good growth.
Early pruning away of excessive
stems will, of Course, throw more
vigor into the plant and bring more
perfected fruit. Much is made of
transplanting plants once or twice
in the spring, but if the leggy plants
are buried half their length in the
ditch they will make equal head
way.
All arbors and trellisses are pref
tier if made of light material. The
less conspicuous the support given
to vines of any kind the more attrac-
tive they are. There il nothing
nicer than the modern way of Civ
ing delicate climbers iron wire net
ting.
Fruit, when canning, should be
cooked in the cans, 80 that none of
the delicate flavor be lost in the
steam and in the transfer from the
kettle. Do not try to utilize over
ripe fruit to keep it from wasting,
but use that which is fully matured
and soun1. Put the fruit directly
in the jars as fast as prepared, fill
with syrup and place the lids on
loosely. Then set the jars in the
boiler or large kettle of warm water
and heat sufficiently.

Oil ON Troubled Waters.

The Indiana was kept dry by the
dripping of oil from both bows; and
although tremendous seas were run
ming and breaking, they could not come
on board. This was certainly most
practical illustration of the old saying
as to the "pOuring of oil on trouble
waters"-a proverb as old as the Bible,
but only very recently applied, thanks
to the photographic Office of the United
States. and now very generally follow
ed by seamen the world over. 1t was
an American also (Redfeld) who first
thoroughly found out and explained
the true character of these revolving
storms, and to him all seamen are for
ever indebted. In using oil, it is aston
ishing how small quantity will suffice
Just quart or two in a bag stuffed
with oakum hung over the bows, and
allowed to drip drop by drop on the
sea. where it spreads out in a thin,
greasy film over the surface of the
water. over the film the wind slips, as
it were, and has no power to bank the
water up into waves which would break
over the ship. Hundreds of reports are
on file in the Office attesting the mar
velous results of this simple agent of
safetp.-St. Nicholas.

POnltrY.

In the fall breeders are anxious to
sell their surplus stock, and will
take lower prices for it; it is a good
time to begin with standard fowls.
AS rule, farmers do not care for
fancy points, aud can select good,
pure bred birds at prices for COM
mon stock, and will have all that is
desired. Breeders are always ready
to Gull their tlocks of imperfect
birds.
If half a dozen pure bred birds
are bought in the autumn they will
become accustomed to their sur
roundings by spring, and will be
ready for business. At the close of
another season their owner may
have a good sized flock of pure bred
fowls, and can sell off all mongrels
as soon as they are done laying.
One ounce Of meat three times a
week for each hen is a fair ration,
and almost any farmers lad could
supply that much rabbit regularly
the whole winter through. Many
firms prepare dried and ground meat
for poultry food.
Invest a dollar or two in oil meal
and feed it to the hens during the
next two months. By that time you
will become so we'll convinced of its
value that you will continue its use.

Agricultural and Live Stock Department.

This 800 pounds should be worth
about $40, already cut, stacked,
hauled and thrashed by the hogs.
An acre of corn might bring SOC
pounds of pork, but there would be
the expense of cultivating and har-
vesting and feeding, and that would
make a large hole in the gross
profits.
Pigs always do better when raised
out of doors. The pure air which
they take into their system gives
new blood, strong vitality and a
great advantage in healthful diges-
ton of food over those closely con-
fined. This is one of the secrets of
success.
Even when pigs are in the pasture
throw to then. all the roots, vege-
tables and waste material possible
they like the variety and will do
better. 1t is wise to so divide the
pasture lots that they may be out all
summer, for in the hot months the
grass gets very short and gives them
but liCtle nourishment.
In winter hogs find a relish in clo-
yer hay, and little is both whole.

How wonderfully God discovers to
his people their perennial comforts
and consultations in the flinty places
of sore troubles and bereavements
Do we lose our property? Then we 90
up to our divine treasure keeper and
inquire after our souls investments,
and find that they are all safe. Do
our fair-weather friends drop away
in the dark days of adversely? Then
we draw up closer to him who saith
Il will never fOrsake thee" Do we
bury up under the turf the darling
of our crib, or the sweet voiced wife
that filled home with heart melO-
dies, or the dear old mother whose
armchair was next in sacredness to
our family altar? Then our thoughts
fasten more closely on that home
stead beyond the clouds into which
the spoiler never enters. The un-
seen things become visible. Christ
becomes nearer and infinitely dearer
Prayer takes stronger hold on the
premises. Faith has a clearer Wis
ion, and life becomes more olsen
tangled from the harassing worries
and absorptiOns of worldliness. Prob
ably we were very 10th to be driven
away into these rock regions of trial
We prayed to be kept out of them
for there is not a living Christian
even the best of them-who covets
affection. But when we were force d
into the tltnty places of adversely or
bereavement, how delicious was the
honey which faith drew out of the
rocks Exchange.

1t has been held that consumption is
hereditary, and the fact that one person
of a family had died with consumption
was considered sure sign that others
of that family could not escape it. This
is partly true and partly untrue. A man
with weak lungs is likely to transmit
that weakness to his children. But
there is no reason in the world why the
weakness should be allowed to develop.
Keep the lungs full of rich, red, whole
some blood, and the weakness will dis
appear. Decaying tissues will be
thrown off, and new material will be
added until the lungs are we'll and per-
fectly strong again. This is the thing

covery does. This is what makes it

A Possible Surplus.

The statisticians are beginning to
count up the cost of our war with
Spain. All estimates made at the
present time are to be taken with
more or less allowance. On the
whole, however, we think it may be
said the sum of 5000, ZOO, 900 will cover
the entire outlay direct and indirect.
This is just the sum derived from
the sale of bonds, or rather that will
be derived when all the bonds shall
have been delivered and paid for.
The new taxes, in the meantime, are
pouring a steady steam of money in
to the Treasury. 1t was supposed at
first that they would yield $l75,OOO,-
600 per annum; but it now seems
likely that they will bring $350,000,-
600. When Congress meets it may
abolish some of them; but we do not
look for any such result. The prob
abilities are, therefore, that inside
of year we shall again witness the
spectacle of national surplus. If
it could be used in reducing our
bonded Indebtedness, we should be
glad to note it. But It is pretty sure
not to go that way. What with the
Nicaragua Canal, to cost 500, 900 900
or 100000, 600, a regular army, as de
manded, of 100000 men, and a navy
competent Ito fight all creation"
we shall have need for large balan-
ces. The more is the pity.-Chris-
tian Advocate.

Swine.

Do not force hogs to untidy house,
keeping; it is not true that they take
to dirt and filth from choice. They
have a certain appreciation of clean
illness, and it is certainly conducive
to their health and thrift. Some
still cling to the idea that swill
must sour and decay before it is fed,
imagining that the pigs relish it
better. If such a barrel is kept at
all, let it be kept clean and sweet
emptied and rinsed every day.
An acre of clover should sustain
eight hogs from spring to fall. II
they weigh, when turned in, 100
pounds each, they should easily
make another 100 during the season.

Cattle.

A few days will make quite
difference in the quality of corn fod-
der; cattle will eat nearly the whole
of it if cut before it loses its bright
color and its succulent leaf.
Consider that wasted which is fed
to poor class of cattle; it may as
we'll be left to rot, for in no circum-
stances can it bring profit, but the
same food fed to good stock will in
crease many fold in value.
Only the scrub farmer raises scrub
cattle. Cattle kept during the win
ter in barnyard and fed from a
straw stack will not be the source
of any profit. He who does so is not
stOckman.
In cows for beef as we'll in those
intended for the dairy, milk giving
is desirable qualification. They
take on fat better and quicker, are
usually more gentle to handle, and
there is "a sweeter and more tender
quality of the flesh.
Since we feed the people over the
water so extensively, despite all our
assertions as to the best in style and
character among cattle, the whole
matter Of values must in the end be
settled by the judgment of the
British public.
A thousand pound steer on foot is
worth, say $50. After he is slaugh-
tered his meat, hide, horns, hoOfs,
tallow, etc, will bring two and a
half times that amount. This shows
that it would pay the producer to
turn manufacturer when possible,
and put his product directly before
the consumer. In no other way can
he get the ultimate profit.
1t is just as we'll to plant and Gull
tivate the ensilage corn so that it
will make ears; then it becomes an
important factor in lessening the eX-
pense of the grain ration.

Dairy.


A good time to begin straining the
milk is before the milking begins
by brushing the body, udder and
teats of the cow with soft firm
brush in order to remove stray hairs
and loose dirt of any kind.
Chapped or cracked teats are
often avoided and the sores healed
by washing them in warm water
and pure soap, and, after wiping
them dry, dressing with vaseline.
This softens the skin and avoids
tearing oren the sores and affords
relief to both the cow and the milk
er. Milk with dry hands always; if
you think you can not do this, learn
how. Even little vasellne on the
hands or teats for this purpose is
better than to wet the hands with
milk.
We can not control the markets,
but we can, to great extent, con
troll production. Let us learn Just
what our cows are doing, and weed
out those which do not yield more
than 1000 pounds of milk or produce
more than $50 pounds of butter a
year; we would be alarmed to find
that this would probably mean the
slaughter of nearly half our cows {;
but there would be more net profit
in feeding and milking the smaller
herd.
The cold days of January no long
er mean a shutting off the milk un-
til spring. In these improved times
dry winter dairy is wholly optional
with the owner, for with warm
stables and good ensilage it is very
easy work keeping the cows yield
ing generous flow. Dry up the
cows if you have nothing to feed
them but hay; all such nourishment
will be needed to keep them warm
and in good condition.

Old Friends.

There are no friends like old friends
And none 80 good and true,
we greet them when we meet them
Like roses greet the dew;
NO other friends are dearer
Though born of kindred mold,
And while we pride the new ones
we treasure more the old.
There are no friends like old friends
Wherever we dwell or roam,
In landssbeyond the ocean
Or near the bounds of home
And when they smile to gladden.
sssOr sometimes fr0wn to guide,
We fondly wish those old friends
Were always by our side.
There are no friends like old friends
10 help us with the load,
That all must bear who journey
Over lifes uneven road
And when unconquered sorrows
m 1hs weary hours invest,
The kindly words of old friends
Are always found the best. .
There are no friends like old friends
~, 10 calm our frequent fears,
When shadows fall and deepen
Through life's declining years;
And when our fatering footsteps
Approach the great divide,
we Will long to meet old friends
Who wait on the other side.
