CURRENT EVENTS.

A meeting Of political and social re-
formers from all part Of the country
will be held in Buffalo during the next
three days beginning tomorrow. A
preliminary conference Of the mem-
bers Of the executive committee APP
pointed at the Union Reform conven-
tion at Cincinnati last March was held to-
day at which the program and other de-
tails Of the gathering were arranged.
The participants Of the conference will
probably consist for the most part Of
those who took part in the Cincinnati
gathering. A number Of prominent So
cial reformers, temperance advocates,
populist leaders and others are reported
on the way, but few have actually ar
rived. II a sufficient number Of the de-
leeates have arrived a session Of the con-
ference will be held in Morgan Hall,

SPECIALITY FARMING.
II Draws Constantly on the Fertility
of the Soil without Permits
ting Renovation.

Specially farming means devoting
the larger part of the time to the pro-
duction Of one crop. This crop may be
wheat, corn or cotton and there are
large sections in this country devoted
almost wholly to one or another of
these crops. One years failure of the
special crop of any of these sections
means serious Inconvenience to farm
srs, and failure for two or more sue
cesslve years leads to ruin. From the
orange groves of Florida and the cane
lands of Louisiana to the wheat fields
Of North Dakota the speciality farmer is
liable to work without profit because of
barren years or low prices. 1t is true
that each section is better for some one
crop than for any other, and it is good
policy to devote considerable part of
the time and the farm to that crop. The
good farmer will endeavor to learn
which crop is the most profitab bic, and
that having been settled he will try to
learn everything that is to be known
about that particular crop. At the same
time he will learn something concern
Ing every other crop which he can
grow, in order that he may diversity his
productions as much as possible.
Speciality farming is always destruc-
tive farming, as it makes rotation Of
crops impossible and draws constantly
On the fertility of the soil without per-
mitting renovation except by the direct
application of fertilizers, a costly way
Of maintaing fertility, no matter what
is used for this purpose.
The farmer who plants a variety of
crops, keeps sheep, cattle and hogs and
takes good care of everything, is al
ways ready for any season or any Pc
culiar condition of the markets. He
may not have any especially fat years,
but he will never have total loss to con-
tend with and on the whole will have
greater profits and fewer losses.-

THE RENOVATED EGG.

Made Its Appearance i'm the Cheap
Shops of London.

The family doctor" is responsible
Tor a new terror. This is the renovated

nary gradations of the egg-the new
laid egg, the fresh egg, the breakfast
egg, the family egg and the cooking
egg. And, after these, used to come
simply the egg" of which the pur-
veyor could not even boast that it was
good enough to cook with, but the pur-
chaser could not deny that it really was
an egg. This was the class of egg used,
so some aver, to give the gloss to con-
fectioners' pastry; and below even the
rank of commercial utility there was
still the election egg, handy missile
whose dement's as a comestibe became
virtues when exploded upon an opposi-
tion platform. Here, one might have
thought, we had reached the very low
est depths of eggdom; but it seems
that there is yet another grade, namely,
the renovated egg. This is an egg
which has become too palpably stale,
soiled and mildewy in appearance to
be sold under any appellation what
ever until a composition of diluted Wit
riol has been applied to II. Then the

Qualify Determines Price.

Make it a point to have your poultry
of the best quality before shipping to
market, says the New York Produce
Review. One who is not accustomed to
visiting the large markets knows moth
ing of the enormous amount of inferior
poultry that is sold and which largely
affects the prices, yet there is always
4 demand for that which is good and at
q price above the regular quotations.
The asserting of the carcasses before
shipping also leads to better prices. Old
rCosters, which seldom sell at more
than half price, should not be in the
same boxes or barrels with better stock,
and to ship poultry alive and have
roosters in the coop with fat hens is
simply to lower the price of the hens,
as the buyer will estimate the value by
the presence of the inferior stock. In
fact, never send any poultry to market
unless in frst-class condition, and un-
der no circumstances ship the inferior
with that which is better.

HABITUAL BOARDERS.

Sinks for Farm Kitchens

Every farmers kitchen should be fur
nished with sink, into which both hard
and soft water should be brought by
pumps. 1t is not always convenient 10
have the well water thus brought, but
there is no reason why the cistern water
should not be. The sink should connect
with drain for the carrying away of
waste water. If water must be broug> :

much to ask that it be carried out in the
same manner and thrown on the ground
to make spot offensive TO sight and
smell and breeding place for flies. AT

makes good place to put dishes as they
are wiped, and under this should be
drawers for dish wipers and kitchen
aprons, and a cupboard for teapot and

Soft Food and DixenHe.

There is a partiality for soft foods, be-
cause by their use many substances in
q fine condition can be given; but Il is
q mistake to feed soft food oftener than
once a day to three days in the week
Too much soft food causes the gizzard
to be idle, and being deprived of it's use,
the fowl becomes diseased. The giz-
zard is an organ that performs GER
tain duty, just as is required of the
heart or liver, and any system of feed
ing that takes largely from the gizzard
the duty which devolves upon it will in
the end prove detrimental. 1t is not out
OF place to allow soft foods, but the
larger proportion of the food should be
Cnground, SO as to keep the gizzard ac-
tive; hence whole grains are essential
to success. When too much soft food
is allowed the crop frequently remains
full and food does not pass through the
g;zzard.-Farm and Firesids.

little more than half as many.
In the former case, four little over
skirts are made separately and put on
the same band. In the latter a founda-
tion skirt of silk or imitation silk is
made and the miniature skirts sewed
upon it, each overlapping the other
enough to hide the heading so that
separate effect is maintained. The skirt
has an abbreviated train and slightly
sweeps the ground all around. There
are no gathers nor plaits at the back
and the opening is made upon the side
TO preserve an unbroken beauty of out
line. Any bodice can be worn with the
four-pieced skirt, and it is particularly
dressy with the novel new silk waists
that are so much the vogue.

Nuts have often been considered to

much of this prejudice against them
comes from the fact that they are very
rarely properly masticated. They are
rich in nutritiye elements, and we know
of no reason why they should not be a
healthful article of food if properly
prepared. They should be masticated
very thoroughly, and oftentimes if
they were baked and ground into a

greater advantage. We believe that
they would be a useful article of diet
