solid Floors for Stables.

Wherever there is crack in stable
floor where horses or cows are kept,
fertility, which is really money, is con-
stantly being lost as the liquid excre-
ment runs to waste. There are under
many old stables several feet depth Of
soil filed with this excrement, which
if drawn out on the fields makes the
richest kind of manure. The stable
floor should be solid, either made with
matched plank, or, better still, laid in
cement, which will not absorb the ex-
crement or rot as it lies upon it.

How to Boil Fish.

In boiling a fish, wrap in a clean

cloves and bouquet of herbs consist

Using Soda in Cooking.

It requires little skill or experience
to use soda with nicely, but it is worth
while to acquire such skill; indeed,
there is scarcely an item in culinary
processes which better repays one for
intelligent experimenting. The bicar-
Donate of soda used to-day is very
different article from the carbonate Of
soda or saleratus with which careless
cooks made spotted biscuits in our
grandmother's time. Used with an
acid as buttermilk, it is as scientifically
wholesome as any article employed as
an adjunct in cookery. In many in-
stances baking powder cannot give as
good results as soda.
1t is scarcely possible to give an alb
solutely exact rule of measurement for
soda, as brands differ somewhat in
strength, and milk varies in degrees Of
acidity. But a general rule is one level
teaspoonful of soda to one pint of sour
milk. Be sure to pulverize the soda be-

and when this is properly secured your
gate is complete. Always use dressed
lumber, SO you can paint gate any de-
sired color, red being usually prefer

last for twenty years, if kept painted,
and it will never sag a particle, and is

made, and the best we have ever tried.

Plight of a Nurse in Cuba.

An army nurse but lately returned
from Cuba to Washington declares
that never again will she go to coun-
try whose language she cannot under
stand, 1t was before hostilities had
come to a definite end that she was
startled one day by the unexpected
visit of her Cuban laundress. The
woman was intensely excited. Ankle
ty sat on her brow, and sorrow dwelt
in her eyes. She gesticulated and she
talked. The nurse knew not word
of what she said, but the pantomime
filed her with terror. The Cuban's
hands seemed to speak of an attack on
the hospital-of wounded men butcher
ed and nurses cut to ribbons. The
nurse was frantic. She must know
the worst.
In the hospital was an officer very
ill with typhoid fever. She knew he
understood Spanish. Only in matter
of life or death would she disturb him,
but this was obviously matter of
life or death She led the Cuban wo-
man to his bedside, and there the
story was repeated. The officer listen
ed intently. The nurse held her breath.
The Cuban ceased. The sick man
turned his head on the pillows.
"She says" he whispered feebly,
''she says the stripes in your pink shirt
waist have run, and she doesn't know
what to do with it. Washington Star.

Cleaning the Cellar.

The first house cleaning in spring
should be done in the cellar, removing
whatever is left of the vegetables and
fruits put up for winter use, and after
clearing away mould from the walls
giving them a coat of fresh Whitewash,
into which weak solution of carbolic
acid has been put in making it. This
will destroy latent germs, which more
often originate in the cellar than any
where else. After the cellar is cleaned
and whitewashed place a few Jumps
of unslacked lime in any places that
seem to be somewhat moist. Keep the
cellar windows closed on warm, sun
shiny days and open them at night
especially If rather cool. 1t is the
warm air from outside in the cellar
coming in contact with the cold stone
walls and metal which it contains that
deposits moisture and soon forms a
mould on all such surfaces. Most peo-
pie think it is cool air which is respon-
sible for damp walls. On the contrary,
it is the warm and apparently dry air
from the outside which does it when
this is brought in contact with any
cool surface.

Berry Culture.

Every farmer should raise enough
berries to supply the family all the
year. There is nothing more delicious
and healthful than strawberries, rasp-
berries and blackberries, and no other
crop on the farm pays as well for the
small outlay and the land they require.
September is the month to plant them,
and when this is properly done good
crop can be grown the first year.
A northern slope that will drain well
is best. A great many make the mis-
take of getting the soil too rich for
strawberries, and get a big crop of
vines with very little fruit. Land that
will grow a good crop of corn is just
right, and when properly planted and
cultivated will always prouuce plenty
of fine berries. The soil should be
cleared of all weeds and rubbish, well
pulverized with disk or cultivator and
harrow, and then plowed deep and
thoroughly pulverized after blowing.
Mark rows three feet apart and set the
plants in deep, putting a half pint of
water with each plant and packing the
dirt firmly around the roots. Late in
the fall they should be mulched with
clean straw, marsh hay or corn stalks.
In the spring hoe or cultivate shallow,
but not after the plants begin bloom
ing, as it will cause them to rust. Strut

The Porch in Simmer.

To live as much as possible out Of
doors is always desirable in summer,
and if one has not wide veranda they
may have a nice tree or cluster Of large
shrubs, or a framework and covered
vines. A few comfortable lounging
places are to be desired Old pieces Of
furniture may be renovated, painted
and upholstered and made to stand the
exposure and changes Of the weather.
The illustration shows chair. The
framework consists of box. two up
right sticks and board to form back.
The box should be 16 inches wide and
long, and 10 inches high, with hinged
cover so the interior may be receipt
acle for odds and ends. The uprights,
which can be of pine two inches wide
by one inch thick, are securely screwed

Profit from Garden Herbs.

There are certain kinds of vegeta-
bles which have a good sale when
dried that are far too little grown. We
allude to such herbs as sage, thyme,
fennel, coriander and the like. More
money is often made from a sage bed
than from the same area of land plant
ed in anything else. There is always
a good demand for it to use for stuffing
when pork, turkey or chicken are to be
roasted, and if the herb has to be
bought at the grocer's or drug store
several times what the farmer could
well afford to sell it for has to be paid.
There would be more profit in farming
if farmers paid more attention to the
small items which they now neglect,
because they seem too unimportant to
be worthy of notice.

Farm Gates,

Upon every farm there must be gates.
These gates should always be in good
repair, but such is not always the case.
1t is neat, tidy farmer, indeed. that
never allows gate to sag, so that it
has to be lifted in opening, or has a
broken hinge. There are many plans
of making good gates, but the best we
have ever tried is constructed as fol
lows: Take two pine or poplar boards,
six inches wide, an inch and half
thick and as long as you want your
gate. Have pickets one by four inches
and as long as you want your gate
high. Then brace one by four inches,
long enough to reach from the lower
corner of gate on hinge end to top cor
ner, where the latch is to be placed.
Lay the two rails down on barn floor
or trestles, if you have them, the proper
distance apart, and nail on your pick

to the outer sides Of the box, pitched at
an angle to make the back comfort
able. A board Is inches long by II
inches wide is screwed to the upper
ends of them and the framework will
look like No. /. The seat and sides are
to be upholstered by using some old
hair or cotton. First cover with strong
unbleached cotton, then cover with any
color of denim not easy to fade or show
soil. At hardware store get some ja-
PANIED iron shanked buttons, and with
stout strings tuft the seat like car
riage cushion, and around the back and
the seat tack row of large headed
tacks over a strip Of white leather or
stiff canvas

lion is old enough to blossom it is not
so juicy and tender as it is in the ear
lier stages of it's growth. Besides, q
further improvement is made by dig
ging up the roots the previous year
and planting them in some rich place
in the garden. There is slight tonic
bitter to the dandelion green's which
makes them liked by almost every
body, and those who do not entirely
like the flavor eat the green's because
they are healthful. Some gardeners
claim that they have originated new
varieties with larger, thicker leaves
than those on dandelions that grow
wild. 1t is possible, however, that 1t
is the garden culture rather than diff
ferences in variety that makes the new
sorts preferable.

Green Bone for Hens.

Fresh-cut bone contains the right
kind of material to make an egg, the
lime in it furnishing the shell. It is
better than grit for fowls, as, unlike
the bits Of stone, it is ground and di-
gested in the gizzard, thus serving a
double purpose, helping to digest grain
and being itself digested at the same
time. Fowls that eat much green bone
will make manure equal to that which
wild birds make from eating fishes, and
which when composted becomes the
guano of commerce.

A Monster Hog.

The largest hog ever raised in Butler
County, Ohio, was slaughtered on
March 9, weighing 1,275 pounds. 1t
was three years and ten days old, and
was of Poland China stock. His
measurement from nose to rump (taiD
was feet and inches; across the
back when standing up was 2 feet 6
inches; around the neck close to his
ears 5 feet 4 inches; girth around the
heart near the forelegs Z feet inches;
around the flank feet 8 inches. After
he was hung up and split through the
back | measured the thickness at the
shoulders and along the back; at the
shoulders, II inches; along the back,
10 inches; there was 6 inches of fat
and inches of lean meat.
On November "a this hog weighed
$50 pounds, making gain of 40
pounds in 1O5 days. or AZ pounds per
day, the largest gain per day on rec
ord. During this period he ate forty
ears of corn per day, and, as it takes
about 100 average ears for bushel,
the total corn fed during the 105 days
was forty-two bushels, making an av-
erage gain Of 10 3-5 pounds gross
weight per bushel of corn. Having ex-
perimented several years in feeding
hogs to learn the gain in live weight
per bushel of corn, with the choicest
selected hogs and under the most IA
vorable conditions the gain was ten
pounds per bushel.
The net weight of this hog was LOO
pounds, the loss being fraction less
than Il per cent; the general average
loss from live to net weight ranges
from Is to Is per cent. on large and

CONCERNING BABY CARRIAGES.
Brakes Now on Nearly All-Rise of the Go.
Cart-The Baby Carriage Season.

Brakes Now on Nearly AIl-Rise of the Go.
Cart-The Baby Carriage Season.
The predecessor of the present pre-
Valllng style Of baby carriage thirty
or forty years ago, was built like 8
chair; it had but two wheels, and the
body, which had a folding carriage top,
was supported on straps attached to
wooden frame. This carriage was
drawn by means of tongue in front,
and attached to the under side of the
tongue in front, near the body of the
carriage, was an iron foot or rest upon
which the carriage was supported
when the tongue was not held. The
immediate successor of the old style
chaise was the perambulator, a baby
carriage with three wheels, two at the
back and one at the front, the perambu-
lator was succeeded by the four wheel
ed carriages now in common use.
In the course of time baby carriage
brakes appeared, to prevent accidents
when the carriage was left unguarded.
One of the first was a sliding bar at
tached to the running part of the car
riage and having forked end which
fitted spoke, thus locking the wheel.
There are now number of styles of
brakes, and they are in common use,
being applied to lowpriced carriages as
well as to the more expensive ones.
The modern baby carriage is made
in great variety of styles, cheap and
costly, some of them being sold at
prices remarkably low. 1t is We
hicle admirably adapted to the uses to
which it is put, and it seemed, except
ing as to details, as though, in it's
present shape it had reached the final
stage of it's evolution; but now the go
cart, a baby carriage of a very different
model, is pushing it hard. 1t is esti-
mated that of the total stock of We
hicles used for baby carriages this sea-
son go-carts will occupy third, or per-
haps more. The go-car is produced
this year in a greater variety of styles
than in any previous season; and the
cheapest Of them costs considerably
less than the cheapest baby carriage.
The go-cart has been in use but four
or five years, but the demand has in
creased from the start and is still in
creasing.
The go-cart is propelled from behind
like the ordinary baby carriage, but
it is a vehicle of much less bulk and
more like a chair on wheels. Original
ly it was used only for the older chill
dren, that is for children old enough
to sit up, but it is now made with
movable back that can be tipped at
any angle and left held in place by set
screws and so made reclining as
we'll as a sit-up vehicle. One charac-
teristic that is supposed to commend
the go-cart especially for city use is
it's smaller SIZE 1t can be more easily
stored than the four-wheeled vehicle.
The great season for the retail baby
carriage trade is spring. The babies
have been more or less cooped up in
the house through the winter, and
every mother wants them to have the
benefit of the air. AS many baby car
riages are sold here in the spring sea-
son as in all the rest Of the year put
together.-New York Sun.

Bread Recipe.

When cooking potatoes for dinner
save the potato water, keeping it hot
till needed. Take two good-sized pota
toes and put them through potato
squeezer; take one cup of -four, one
chunk lard about half the size of an
egg, one tablespoonful Of sugar and
stir all together. Now take the hot
potato water, mix and beat it until it
becomes smooth paste. Now add a
cake of yeast, after softening in warm
water, and mix thoroughly. Put it in
a warm place over night in order to
ferment. In the morning add -four and
water sufficient to make a stiff batter
for five loaves Of bread and beat thor
oughly about ten minutes. In one-half
hour it will be ready to knead. Mold
it into loaves and let it rise. When
light enough for the oven wet the top
of loaves with cold water and pick
each loaf in four or five places with
fork. 1t is now ready for the oven.
The above directions, if closely follow
ed, will insure beautiful bread.
