CRANBERRY PATCHES.
Where There IL Perennial
Spring. or Brook.

On a well-tilled farm between cult
waited fields was mud-hole covering
an eighth Of an sStre, caused by the
spreading out of the brook. The farm
err believed in utilizing the waste places
and making every part of the farm
contribute to the general purpose. The
spring from which came the brook
could not be interfered with because it
produced excellent water and was
worth more than anything that could
be grown in the meadow, for after
passing through the swamp it ran into
a trough in the pasture where the cat
tie had access to it.
There were several ways of improving
this meadow and of giving the water
from the spring uninterrupted flow,
but all were costly except the one de-
cided upon. He made a cranberry bog
of the meadow. 1t costs about 5000 an
acre to make good bog, but it pays.
Several things are necessary, and one
of them is facility for flooding in the
fall to prevent damage by early frosts.
In this bit of meadow the farmer raised
cranberries as large as cherries, always
welcome to any table, and always in de-
mand in the market, especially when
sugar is low. Wherever there is per-
ennial spring or brook (heaven help
the farm that has neither) there are
usually moist, untillable places, but eS-
actly adapted to cranberry culture.
Put in few cranberry plants, for
ranberry sauce is sauce for anything.
1t is more than sauce; it is food, and
may be just the medicine the system
needs.-George Appleton, in Farm and
FireSide

CURIOUS CHINESE CUSTOM.
fhy"icians Hang Out a Lamp for Each
Patient That Dies Under
Their Treatment.

A somewhat vexatious law in China
compels every doctor, after dark, to
hang up in front of his house as many
lighted lamps as he has sent patients
into the next world. One evening a Eu-
ropean who was staying in Peking on
business set out in search of doctor
for his wife, who had been suddenly
taken i'll. He called at the house OF a
good many, but was deferred by the
large number of lamps exhibited before
each. At length, after tramping about
for several hours, he came to the house
of a doctor where only three lamps shed
a melancholy light over the entrance.
Our happy European man dashed into
the house of this excellent man, awoke
him and took him off to his lodgings.
Il presume you are the best prac-
titioner in this city," he said to his
companion as they went along.

FOR THE CHILDREN.
Them Cultivate Flowers and
Foliage Plants.

No occupation is SO healthy, innocent
and instructive for children as cultivat-
ing a little garden of their own. Give
them bit of ground in the spring
no matter if it be no larger than bed
spread-and give them the seeds of
such bright and easily-grown flowers
as pinks, petunias, daisies, mignonette
and the old-fashioned marigold, four
o'clock, and lady-slipper, now called
balsam. Provided with little spade,
and hoe that has small rake at the
back, and dressed in plain clothes that
cannot be easily spoiled and stout
shoes, the boys and girls will derive
more than enough benefit from the out
door exercise to repay you for the ex-
ira washing it may make. 1t is great
deal cheaper to hire washwoman than
to pay doctor. Then the pleasure and
the good wholesome knowledge that
comes through the cultivation of plants.

The plot for the chiidren's garden
should be well prepared-spaded and
made soft, then smoothly raked. The
child's name, or the initial letters of the
name, may be sown in fine grass seed,
or the seed of china pinks, or of flax.
Make the letters in the smooth, soft
soil with pointed stick or the finger.
Sow the seeds in the little burrows thus
made, and cover firmly, pressing down
the earth firmly but not too compactly.
Sprinkle with warm water, and the
seeds will quickly vegetate, and the
little one sees with wondering delight
his name traced in living green letters

~ The injury is done by the insect,
as shown by Fig.2. 1t is curious-look-
ing affair which causes the injury by
laying it's eggs in the bark. This in
sect feeds by sucking the juices of the
plant, so no poison is effective; but in
sucking the sap they are not seriously
injurious. The worst harm they do is
in cutting the Sits in the bark, in the
doing of which they seem to poison the
wood so it does not heal readily. They
seldom cause any harm to large trees,
but young trees may be seriously in
jured by them. The remedies are the
removal of the eggs and by Earring the
insects into oiled sheets. The mature

UNCONTROLLED GARDEN CART.
re-. 2

ing, of course, with the use the cart is to
be put to. If to be used by the boys of
the farm it should not be large. The
handles are bolted to the axle, and
frame made of by As bolted to the axle
and handles. This frame should set so
that about a third of it's length will
reach in front of the axle. This will
give the proper balance when pushing
load. A platform of inch boards is
nailed to the frame, and an end put on
by means of straps of iron, to insure
strength. Removable sideboards are
made of wide boards. Holes are bored,
three along each side of the platform.
Pins are driven into the bottom of the
sideboards to correspond and fit into
the holes in the bottom of the platform.
At the upper side, on the front end Of
the board, is staple into which a hook,
fastened to the front end of the box,
slips when in place and holds it firm.
There are many places about farm
where this cart will be found conven-
lent. Fig. shows the cart complete and

longer. The usually docile horse had
been getting very FESTIVE in the heat
and noise, and suddenly he broke away
from Frank and dashed off towards the
south, dragging the pillow after him.
The last Frank saw of the horse he had
freed himself from the impeding plow
and was dashing wildly away from the
advancing flames.
A goodly space of freshly thrown-up
earth now surrounded the cart, but
whether it would suffice to save the frail
shelter was question. Before crawl
ing under the cart Frank called out to
his mother and sisters to cover their
faces, and then he dashed pail of water
over them. He had scarcely settled him
self under the cart when another idea
came to him, and he was out again.
Selling the pail, he had emptied he be-
gan scooping up the fresh mold and
throwing it on top of the overturned
cart. The hot brands were falling
thickly around him, but he worked on
with desperate fury, and soon had the
roof of their shelter covered with the
protecting loan. Then he crawled back
under the cart, holding his handker-
chief, which he had saturated with wa
ter, to his blistered face and neck.
They were now in the center of the
roaring furnace The fire came down
to the edge of the plowed place, but as
there was only grass and weeds to con-
sumo in the immediate vicinity the heat
was not as terrible as it would have
been nearer to the burning forest. 1t
was exceedingly hot, nevertheless, and
the smoke was sitting, but by keeping
wet handkerchiefs over their mouths
and nostrils and wetting themselves
from time to time with the water, they
managed to stand both the heat and
smoke.
In spite of the earth that he had piled
on the cart, Frank feared that the wood
might catch fire and their shelter be de-
stroyed, so he frequently peeped out to
see If the cart was in danger. Once he
saw that large brand, blazing bright
ly, had fallen against the side of the
cart. springing out, he kicked the
burning branch away and dashed some
water on where the wood had begun to
blaze. Twice afterward he found that
the cart had caught fire, but he extin-
guished the flames, though he was him
self severely burned in doing it.
His watchfulness saved their shelter
from destruction, and after few ter
rible hours the fury of the fire had abat-
ed, and they were able to come forth
from their place of refuge.
Mr.. Sigsbee supposed, of course, his
wife and children had persisted, and
they, in turn, feared that he had; and
when, on the following day each
learned that the other was safe and I'M
harmed-except for Franks burns,
which did not prove serious-there was
such joy and Thanksgiving that even the
destruction of their home could not
make them mourn.-N. Y. Ledger.

Cow. Need Lots of Water.

No dairyman who makes study of
his business is satisfied with watering
his herd once a day. If his cattle can
be induced to drink two or three times
a day he is glad of it. All the cattle
may not be equally thirsty at the same
time. Cows require an immense
amount of water, as every farmer boy
has noticed. Experiments have shown
that the average mich cow needs about
81 pounds of water a day while in
milk-this is nearly ten gallons-and
over so pounds while dry. Of this the
GOWN milk takes rather more than two
thirds as drink and the rest in her food,
while the dry cow takes rather less than
two-thirds as drink and little more
than one-third in her food.-Farmer's
Review.

DAIRY AND LIVE STOCK.

If you starve your COW your pocket

The demand for lamb and mutton has
not been over-supplied.
Happy is the dairyman or dairywom-
an now who has well-filled silo, and >
herd of fresh cows, and can ship fresh.
ly-made butter to market every week.
Do not kick the COW because you are
angry; go and kick the barn door or
milking stool instead until you recover
your senses. a few lessons will break
you of the kicking habit.
Place box of salt near the watering
trough so the horses can lick it when
ever they go to drink. This is prefer
able to the usual method of sailing the
farm horses once a week.-Farm Jour
