I;c%Onia Culture.

Begonias OF all kinds grow best in a
coil that is quite rich, somewhat sandy
and porous. \ soil that is heavy,
soggy and apt to become sour cannot
be used with good results. The mat
ter OF drainage is also an item in the
culture of begonias not to be over
looked. In potting the plants pro-
vide ample drainage by placing broken
pottery, cinders or some such matter
in the bottom of the pots.
Flowering begonias can be bedded
out in the summer with success, if
plenty of water is given and fairly
sunny, warm location selected for the
bed. Those of the Rex type will do
best if plunged in partially shaded
location. Both classes should be
protected from hot, drying winds, and
should never be allowed to suffer for
want of water er-Woman's Home Com

are placed in q conical pile AS the
manure is thus thrown together it is
packed down by treadiug on it, the
treading being repeated as the bed is
raised few inches at time, until the
pile is finished off to a point at the
top. After few days. it may be no.
ticcd that the pile is heating by see-
ing steam rise from it. 1t is then
customary to handle over the manure,
shaking it out and again making it
into a pile and tramping it down as
before. In two or three days the
signs of heating will again be evil
dent, and it is then ready to be made
into bed.
The bed should be made large
enough to extend at least foot out
side of the frame at sides and ends.
In throwing the manure into shape,
as the pile rises in height every few
inches, it should be beaten down with
the back of the fork so that the mate
rial will be of uniform density. The
bed should be two feet or two and q
half feet in depth; the deeper it is the
steadier and longer continued will be
the heat. When the bed is finished
evenly on top the frame can be set on
and covered with the sashes. In
few days q strong heat will rise, and
when this abates somewhat, so that
the thermometer thrust into the ma
nure indicates only eighty-fiye or
ninety degrees, layer of rich mellow
soil that has been previously prepared
should be placed in the frame and
spread evenly over the bed, to a depth
of about six inches. The bed is now
ready for use, and seed sowing in it
can commence. In the management
of hotbed constant reference must
be made to shaded thermometer
kept inside, and air must be given
sufficiently to keep the temperature
down to about seventy degrees, and
there should be mats provided for
sheltering the bed on cold nights and
in severe storms.-Vick's Magazine.

Small Size of JerseY Cows.

1t is quite possible that Jersey COWS
and others giving large messes of milk
are undersized because in calfhood,
for time. at least, they are apt to be
fed on their own dams milk. If
their stomachs are cloyed then, the
effect remains until they may be half
grown. Jersey and Guernsey milk,
because it is extra rich, is often pre-
ferred by doting parents for their very
young children, who have to be
brought up on the bottle. Yet no
cows milk is complete substitute to
q child for that of its mother. All re-
quire some dilution, and the milk that
is richest in butter fats needs some
thing added to it worst of all. This
is not, however, to excuse the city
milk dealers, who may dilute the milk
to the legal standard. One-half the
mortality in cities of babies brought
up on the bottle would be obviated if
they were fed properly.

4 Brush With a Hhino.

We were with our gun bearers, I
being in front, when suddenly we
heard a peculiar grunt, which sounded
so exactly like a lion that We halted
immediately. writes an African traveller
in the Geographical Journal. 1t was
Andrews shot, and was just getting
off my mule, when instead of lion,
out of the bush charged grunting
rhino. We were in little gully, with
q rise IN front OF us, hill on our left,
and bit Of thick bush from which the
rhino charged on our right. About
ten yards off the rhino made several
short, erratic charges, and then, un-
fortunately, decided to go down the
narrow path along which Andrew was
riding. When about fifteen yards
distant the sensible mule turned tail
and bolted, but before he had gone
twenty yards the rhino was within a
yard of him. The rhino was gaining
fast, so Andrew tried to turned his
mule into the bush on the left, but a
mule is mule, and he would not be
turned. Andrew threw himself off on
one side, hoping the rhino would at
tack the mule, but no, he swerved in
his course so quickly that he managed
to strike Andrew in the middle OF the
back, but fortunately the horn ripped
up the back of his coat and shirt.
After the shock he knew very little,
except that he remembers lying fat
and seeing mass of clumsy legs over
him. When this disappeared he had
just enough sense and strength left to
crawl into the bush, and was greatly
relieved to find that he could even
crawl. / then saw the rhino standing
over Andrew and showing no signs of
moving. rushed on the animal, the
men following me, all shouting, as we
had no guns, and the rhino then made
up his mind and charged the fleeing
mule, which he came up with, but,
though he knocked it flying into the
scrub, did it no serious damage. We
brought Andrew, in semi-conscious
condition, into camp; he was badly
bruised and had his knee sprained,
the latter injury preventing him from
walking at all for many weeks.

a Household Scrapbook.

No housekeeper can afford to be
without a scrapbook for the preserva-
ton of the thousand and one things
that impress her as worth referring to
a second time. Pending their final
adjustment, a tempting arrangement
that has proved especially satisfactory
is the utilization of large envelopes,
a dozen or so, marked with the varl-
Gus subjects they contain, and bound
together in linen cover, stiffened
with pasteboard. The pasteboard is
cut in two pieces the size of the en-
velopes, while the linen is wide
enough to cover the sides and leave
abundance of room for the back. Two
stout silken threads piercing the low
er edges of the envelopes and loosely
tied hold them in place. The envel-
opes may be marked "Sick Diet, ,

Fire Machine Guns.
The Cunard liner Etruria, just before
war was declared, brought over cargo
of fifty-fve cases of rapid-fire rifles and
machine guns and large quantity of
smokeleSS powder, consigned from
Armstrong. Whitworth & Co, of New
castle-on-Tync, to Barring Brothers Il
Co, Of New York City. With the guns
were their carriages and fittings. This
shipment was for the War Department.
The guns were all purchased from the
ArmsrongS. Twelve of them We're
manufactured for the Brazilian Gov
ernment, which released the Ann
strongs from their contract that our
Government might have them. In all
forty-siX were purchased. The total
weight of all the guns purchased is
something over 100000 pounds.
The guns are unlike anything made
IN this country. For that reason the
ammunition for them was bought on
the other side, since 1t would take alto

Asparagus Salad-Rub three hard
boiled egg yolks through sieve. Put
them in bowl with two raw yolks,
salt, pepper and a tablespoonful Of
prepared mustard; stir with wooden
spoon, and add slowly two gills of
salad oil and little vinegar, with two
tablespoonfuls finely chopped herbs
parsley, tarragon, chives and shallot.
This is to be poured over the cold
boiled asparagus.
Mushroom Salad-Cut the mush-
rooms into small pieces and cook them
in a little olive oil, letting them
simmer fifteen minutes. Add some
lemon juice and stand on one side uu-

Do not peel the apples, but core them,
if it is preferred. Cut them in halves
and stick three cloves in each half. To

The growing cities of Europe-in-

from outside, everybody in it would
die out in about four generations, re-

Making q Hotbed.

The ordinary hotbed consists of q
pile of fermenting stable manure,
covered with frame and glazed sashes,
in which is layer Of fertile soil. The
bed should be located where it will be
easy of access, but it should be on
dry ground, and not where water
could flow over the ground and about
it's base, even in wet weather. It
should also be sheltered from heavy
winds, and with a full exposure to the
sun. In preparation for bed the
fresh manure and long litter are coll
lected from stables and drawn together
to the location of the bed, where they

Feeding Without Profit.

The chief object of feeding should
be profit from the conversion of field
crops into more concentrated forms
for market. When stock can be kept
with profit, there is a double profit
from the farm-one from producing
the crops and one from converting
them into meat, milk, wool, etc. But
a considerable number of farmers that
do not have profitable stock farms,
feel obliged to keep stock for the sake
of the manure, skinning all grass and
clover fields, and growing other forage
for the maintenance of the stock. We
want to bear in mind that stock add
nothing to the quantity of plant food
in the forage, were it given directly to
the soil, but that the feeding robs the
average farm of more than half its
strength. The stock takes part Of it
own use, and most farmers do not
have perfect appliances for saving and
applying the remainder. There is con-
tinual loss, the distribution is bad,
usually, and if the cultivated field that
grew q second Drop of clover or a
heavy. aftermath of timothy could re-
tain it as a mulch to be plowed under
at the right time it would get far more
fertility out OF it than it ever would
from the manure made by feeding it,
and The distribution over the surface
would be far more even. Nine times
out of ten the fields need vegetable
matter far more than anything else,
and the idea that all growth should be
passed through the stables means in
actual practice the robbing of the field
in respect to the very thing it most
needs. If the feed is needed for stock
that is going to bring nice profit over
all cost, that is another matter entire
ly; but where sell fertility is the main
consideration, and cultivated crops are
the farmers source of income, he is
on the wrong track when he puts la
Dor on the harvesting of all manurial
crops, only to have half the fertility
lost by passing through the stables.
Soils may by fed as directly by plow-
ing q growth under as by applying the
manure gotten by feeding the growth,
and the amount of plant food secured
by the first method is much, greater. j..
