A Test For the Oven.

It is the wise cook who sets herself
TO master all the moods and lenses of
her oven, since on the proper degree
OF heat depends the success of more
than one dish. The paper test is old
but dependable. If sheet of thin
white paper, put into the oven, turns
black and blazes up, the oven is too
hot. To reduce its temperature place
basin of cold water inside. IF, on
the other hand, the sheet of paper
quickly turns yellow and burns in a
few minutes, the heat is right for
roast meats. Puff paste comes in for
this sort Of an oven also. When the
paper colors trife more slowly, the
heat is right for bread and all yeast
mixtures. Pound cakes and all rich
cakes containing much butter take a
moderate oven while rich fruit cake
requires still q degree less heat.
Never on any account slam the oven
door while baking, for you. are only
too liable to ruin the most carefully
made dishes by 50 doing.

why They Lost the Boat.

'You know how the commuter hates
to miss ferryboat," said the woman,

ing and scrambling in that eternal
rush to get along and lose no time
about it. But the other day I saw a
regular small. throng lose boat
in totally unnecessary manner.
"Just as I reached the curbing on
one side of street that lay between
me and the ferry, noticed little
line of men and women psusing non.
chalantly on the near side and in a
moment I saw what was the matter.
A funeral procession was passing
slowly along with plenty of room be-
tween the carriages for folks to get
across. But the folks thought diff
ferently about it and waited for the
last carriage to get BY" -.
''Did you go right on across?" some
one asked the woman.
"Oh,> well, I-well, I just waited,
too," she said.-New York Sun.

Bathing in Ye Olde Tymes.

In these days of universal Tubing,
it is interesting t6 reaa"ffe curious
notions about bathing, In vogue IN
former generations. In q sketch OF
the childhood of Louis XIII, in the
Atlantic Monthly, his tutor writes un-
der date of August, 1908: 1.-The
: Dauphin was bathed for the first time;
put into the bath, and Madame, his
sister, aged six, with him. The
Dauphin was seven years old at the
time" In his fourth year he had his
feet washed with damp cloth; when
he was six, they washed his feet III

Tee. and Land owner. In England.

By the general laws of England,
oak, ash and elm are timber, if not
Younger than twenty years, or so old
that good post cannot be cut from
them.
What constitutes timber" varies
slightly according to locality. But
when a tree is proved to be timber,
q person who has only a life interest
in the land it grows upon cannot cut
it down, unless it be on an estate cul.
tivated solely for the production OF
saleable timber, or unless he has a
. special agreement giving him power
to do so.
A mere life tenant may not even cut
down trees which are not TIMBER,
but which would at the age OF twenty
years attain that dignity.
Larch is not climber" IN any case,
and may be cut by the ife-tenant ct
will.
A man is not bound to permit a
neighbor's tee to overhang the sur
face of his land, and may at auy time,
and without giving notlce, remove lne
offending branches.
Botanists differ as to the poisonous
nature of ew. trees. There are many
instances both of their poisonous and
their harmless effect when browsed
bv horses and cattle, but the partially
dried clippings Of yew are certainly
most dangerous.
If a yew-tree overhangs a neighbours
land, and his horses eat the yew with
out trespassing, the owner OF the tree
is liable to pay for any injury the
horses may sustain.
On the other hand, if the horses or
cattle cannot browse on, the tree with
out putting their heads over the fence,
the owner of the horses must bear the
loss, for his. animals have trespassed.

The Best Disinfectants.

The best disinfectants are pure air
and sunshine. Without the aid Of
these disinfectants the most powerful
chemicals used to'purify a pest place
may prove of no avail. 1t is more
necessary that house should be ven-
tilated than that the waste pipes that
lead into it be trapped. A strong 60
luton of potash and boiling water
poured down the sink and into waste
pipes will disinfect them sufficiently
for the season. If about four quarts
of boiling water are poured over five
cents worth of copperas, and the So
luton scattered over the ground where
the garbage pail has sat during the
winter, and into cesspools or any sim
liar spot that needs disinfection, it
will be usually all that is necessary,
provided air and tsunshine can also
reach the place. It is not safe to
trust the eyes; that which looks clean
may be very unclean, out there is
usually foul odor to any spot need
ing disinfection.

AGRICULTURAL.
Celery in the Garden.

No garden is complete without a
good supply of celery. Sow a few
seeds in hotbed or in boxes in the
house, then in July transplant to rows
IN the garden. These should be about
one foot apart in the row and the lows
four or five feet apart. This can be
set between rows of early peas or
beans and the ground thus made to
produce two crops in one season. AS
soon as the first crop is removed give
thorough cultivation. For blanching,
the soil Lay be thrown up about the
plants, or if you have a few old tiles
these can be slipped over the punches
OF celery and they will whiten nicely.

Dust Should Be DESTROYED.

The modern housewife has learned
that feather busters and other flirting
brooms and brushes merely scatter
the dust and germs in herjjshouse, in.
stead of removing them. She is now
being told by scientists that to shake
her rugs and carpets, beat her draper
les, etc., is undesirable. The dust
flies in nearby windows, her OWL
perhaps, and is again disseminated.
The idea OF housekeeping to-day is
to destroy dust. Carpet-sweepers,
covered dust-pans, and cloths are the
implements to be made use of, and
the dust thus gathered should be
burned, or, in the case of cloths,
washed out. Back of this care, how
ever, should come q wise choice oi
houshold belongings. Simplicity
should be the fundamental law OF their
selection. Have the. things needed
for comfort and use in simple, easily
cared for designs; for pure decora-
tion, only few very satisfying things.
Gewgaws as a rule are useless, and
may be dispensed with.

A Portable Self Feeder.

A correspondent OF the Breeders
Gazette describes self-feeder sue
cessfully used ON his farm. The
frame work IS all bolted together, as
nails will not withstand the strain
pulling the feeder from one field to
another. The runners are made of
heavy 3x10 oak planks, each sixteen
feet long and placed g. feet apart.
The runners are rounded at both
ends go that it can be pulled either
way. Nine 2x4 ioists, each nine feet
long, are bolted onto the runners,
about two feet apart. These joists
are then fastened together by 2x6
joists, which project over the runners
far enough to support the feed trough.
The trough is built about the width
OF scoop. This permits OF easily re-

Push IL Calves Ahead.

The calf makes the COW. If good
COWS are desired or stock is to be i'm
proved, it is through the calves that
it may be done most effectively and
cheaply. The spring calves should
not be confined to pasture, and this
generally poor, but should be fed
with uastinted generosity. The rule
should be to feed calves with the
greatest llberality with the best food,
and to push them ah cad the first year
of their life and never relax the gen.
erous treatment till the old COW gives
up business. The animal is the ma
chine through which the food is
changed from a cheap material to @
much more valuable one.
Thus the milk feeding should be
continued 10, the age of five or SIX
months, somet dsirymen say all
through the cows life, and doubtless
this is true, for why should not the
food that makes a good COW be still
employed to maintain her? 1t has
been proved by practice in many
dairies that the skinned milk makes
fifty per cent.mo return when fed to
COWS than by any other way of disposal.
But 1t is certainly good for the calves,
tending to give them good, strong
frame, "a =wellsdeveloped digestive
function, ability to dispose OF much
food to advantage and well-developed
vital organs, thus building up an ani,
NAL fully supplied with every facility
for making profit for her owner in her
after life. But with the milk gen.
erous allowance of grain food must
be given.-Henry Stewart, in New
England Homestead.

scratching, there is no better grain
for them than millet seed. For the
main part of their rations, make a
bread as follows: To three cups OF
sour milk or buttermilk, add one heap
ing teaspoonful of saleratus. q little
salt and cayenne pepper; stir into this
equal parts Of corn meal, heavy shorts
and bran till it is stiff dough. Bake
it in q deep dish so that there will be
as small proportion of crust as pos
sible. Keep in a cool, moist place, as
it soon sours in warm weather and is
then unfit to feed to chicks. Animal
food in some form must be supplied,
else some of the chicks will pull tho
down from others and eat it.
They should have charcoal occa-
sionally, coarse sand or rock, pounded
quite fine, and plenty Of green stuff.
Lettuce, young cabbage plants, tender
clover heads. are all excellent, but
they should have two or three feeds
of this day, for they soon tramp on
and spoil what they do not eat. Mil
let seed, wheat, cracked corn are good
for dry feed and should be scattered
about the runs for them to pick at.
The first thing as soon as it is light
in the morning, feed the chickens.
The last thing before going to bed at
night take lantern and look at the
thermometer in the brooder. for as
the outside air grows cooler after sun
set the temperature i'll the brooder
will decline. E. Cadwallader in

One Objection to Soiling.

The chief objection to soiling is the
very wastefulness that the system is
supposed to avoid. Suppose a COW
will eat 200 pounds of, grass a day
while roaming over a pasture and de-
stroy lot more. The damage she
does is soon repaired by the weather,
but suppose you cut this 200 pounds
of grass and put in a manger for her.
She goes at it in fine relish until she
begins to get full, and then the mis-
chief begins. She wisps it about,
roots and noses it over, slobbering
over it until in the end she absolutely
refuses to eat any more of it,, though
it is not half gone. I doubt if any
body n the country is making sue
cess of soiling.-Farm and Home.

moving the grain from the tro ugh
should you choose to do 30. This,
however, is seldom done. The bot
tom of the feeder is built high in the
middle and slopes to the feed trough
on either side. The roof projects
little over the sides and measures
about fourteen feet from cave to cave.
A door or cover is provided at either
side for the feed trough. If one has
COWS in q lot at night, but wishes
calves to grain fromtth feeder during
the day, he car, simply drop the lid
when the,cows are in the lot and raise
it on turning them out, Calves can
then eat oats OF shelled corn or what
ever you may have in the feeder for
them. Cut the rafters for the floor
out of fourteen: foot 2x4's, making
them each 81 feet long; thirty-six
rafters oifthis sort will be needed for
the bottom ot:the drop on the sides.
After the feeder is sided up with
shiplap or flooring, the roof Of 113
sheeting is put on, which is after
ward covered with shingles. It is a
good idea toput several braces across
the feeder from cave to cave. Bolt
those to the 2x4s. Strength will be
given to the structure by running a
half-1nch rod the length of the feeder
and making fast just below the grain
doors. The feeder is about sixteen
feet long, and has capacity of about
1000 bushels of corn. Total cost, in
Guiding lumber, labor and hardware,
will be about $50 or $50. From fifty
to sixty cattle can be fed at one of
these feeders. Have slides in the
troughs 80 the amount of grain can
be adjusted to the kind of feed.
