Rape AZ q. Food C1Op.

We have not yet seen a single I'M.
favorable statement about rape from
and who have tested it as food for
sheep, hogs or poultry. and that is
more than we can say for any of the
other new forage crops. as vetch, sor.
ghum. bronze grass, kathr corn OF
any of the rest. While some praise
them very highly, others find some
fault, or have failed to induce them to
grow we'll upon their soil. But rape
seems to grow anywhere that cab
bages or turnips will grow, and to
DO nearly as well, whether sown in
the shade of an orchard or out in
the open field, and very nearly as well
upon light soil decently manured as
on the most fertile fields of the prai-
RE. We hope our readers will try it
this year if they have anything tc
feed it to. 1t may not prove as good
fodder as the corn crop, but it is
worthy of trial.-American Agricul-

THINNING OUT. FRUITS.
Really Satisfactory Results Are
to Be Obtained.

The average farmer pays little or
no attention to thinning fruit. If the
tree is overloaded, so that the limbs
bend almost to the breaking point,
some will set props under the limbs
to keep them from breaking entirely
down, while others more careless will
let the limbs break off. They may
complain of the size and quality of
the fruit when it is harvested, but
few think it necessary or will take
the trouble to thin out in good sea-
SOL. and thereby not only save the
tre.s. but secure fruit of a much bet
ter quality. In nearly all cases a
tree making thrifty growth will, if
left unmolested, set more fruit than
unoer ordinary conditions it should
be allowed to mature. In fact, one
cause, though not the only one. of
tres failing to bear is on account OF
being allowed to overbear one year,
lowering the vitality to such an en-
ten that the tree is incapable of
bearing the next year.
Thinning can be done to an advan-
tage where fruit of good size and
quality is desired. But if anything
like satisfactory results are secured
it must be done in good season, rea-
sonably soon after the fruit sets.
The larger the fruit is allowed to
become before thinning the greater
the drain upon the tree and the less
good will result.
1t of course seems troublesome to
60 to fruit trees and take off from
one-fourth to one-half the specimens.
selecting those that are too close to-
gether and that are the least promis-
ing, yet when there is full crop and
uniform choice fruit is desired, thin
ming becomes necessary. And when
it is to be done advantage should be
taken of the first favorable opportun-
ity for doing the work. Peaches, pears
and grapes especially can be thinned
to an advantage, and in many cases
apples also.-N. J. Shepherd, in Farm
erS' Voice,

ENTERTAINING HINTS.
If They Are Followed as Closely e.
Possible q Good Article Is Sure ;,
!, to Result.

The first and foremost essential is
absolute cleanliness, and this applies
to the COW sta BILE, the mill1-pails,
mill-pans and all other utensils. the
milk room, etc. When the milk is
brought in, strain it as soon as pos
sible, filing each milk-pan half full.
If the milk-room is very near the
kitchen or other living rooms, place
newspapers over the pans to keep out
the dust. Do not break into the
cream if it can b. avoided, and do not
let the milk go ever three days with
ont skimming.
Put the cream IN large stone jar
and mix it over we'll each time fresh
cream is added. Keep the dish in a
rather warm situation if possible; 60
degrees Fahrenheit is about right.
Empty into the churn whenever the
jar is full and after the churn has be-
come half filed churn the cream into
butter. In cold weather the process
may be quickened by setting the
churn and all in a dishpan of hot wa
ter.
In churning, let the strokes be firm
and even: and do not leave off until
the butter has come. The but ter
should be gathered in a wooden bowl
and quickly worked over to dissolve
the salt and eliminate the butter
milk. Then it may stand for few
hours, when it should receive it's final
working over. A few dipperfuls of
cold water should next be added to
help dissolve the salt and to get the
butter into shape for packing. The
main point of mixing the butter is to
make it of good consistency for put
ting in the jars; it should not be
worked over too long or the salt
grains will cut the globules, thus
making it sticky. Butter should be
worked over at a temperature of
about go degrees. A higher temporal
ture causes it to be soft, while a low
err one makes it "mealy."
In winter, if the butter is not of "a
good, rich color. do not hesitate to
put a teaspoonful or two of some
frst-class butter coloring in with the
cream, before churning, as the LIQUID
is perfectly harmless and will add
much to the selling qualities Of the
batter. Many people will not buy IN.
less it is colored to just such shade.
Fresh, clean dairy butter is some
thing that will always bring good
price, and anyone who follows the
pursuit will find that it pays # car

a drug in the market, but anyone can
soon learn to produce first-clas, but

amount of care. common sense and
perseverance.-Ohio Farmer.

SAYINGS OF A CONGRESSMAN.

| Representative Hamilton, of Niles.
Mich, made a speech in the house re-
Gently which contained a great deal of
wit and a good deal of wisdom. We re-
| produce from the Chicago Record some
of his epigrams.]
There is really no piety in being poor.
Many people mistake envy for polit-
cal economy.
Let us not be self-righteous because
we are hard up.
Human nature is about the same in
it's fundamental outlines from dollar
a day up.
God made man different here, and
hereafter we are told the difference
will be stin more marked.
There will probably never come a
time when the moral regeneration Of
mankind can be accomplished by legis-
lation.
There is no doubt that the dust from
the wheels of some peoples carriages
IS more annoying than that of others.
The legislative oath of office actually
performs no supernatural function,
confers no mantle of wisdom or
prophecy, although some gentlemen
seem to suspect this of themselves. ::
Dives and Lazarus left many de-
scendants, and in the whirling years
the rich have begged and beggars have
become rich. Care can never be legis-
lated out of the world nor happiness be
tlegislated into the world. s. :=s

Profit from Small Farms.

= Small farms can be made to com
bine many advantages i Some .poul-
trymen grow plums in the poultry
yards, and also keep bees. Others
grow early vegetables,under glass, and
also grow two or three crops in the
open ground. One gardener near Phil
adelphia makes large profit on four
acres, on which he grows only lima
beans. Another makes peas spe-
cialty, following the peas with late
cabbage. To attempt to IN 4 four
acres in the usual way, with wheat,
corn, oats, etc, would cause bank
ruptcy. The crops that pay best are

of calves for food before they are
three months old would put an end
to. ''bob'' veal and lead to improve

farmers were compelled to feed their
calves to the age Of three mopths
they would then give some attention

NORWAY.

The Norwegian cabinet sustained
the new tonnage bill passed by the
storthing, not a single member voting
against it. And yet Prince Gustaf, :he
regent during King Oscars absence,
fatty refused to sign the bill. The
cabinet threatened to resign, but asked
the opinion of the storthing as to the
ACCESSIBILITY of such course. The
leaders of the Leftists advised the cab
met to remain in Office, in spite of the
humiliating position in which the re-
gents veto had put the cabinet and
the storthing, and the matter was dis
cussed at length in the storthing. The
result was gratifying to the cabinet, a
motion to advise that body to remain
in office being carried by vote of IS
to s.. Every Leftist present voted
with the majority. The IS contrary
votes were cast in favor of dropping
the matter without committing the
storthing either way. This vote OF
course induced the cabinet to remain,
and the whole affair turned out to be
| an innocent tempest in teapot.
Some broadminded citizen proposed
that the storthing appoint an inter-
| national committee to award the Nobel
prize. To this, Bjornson objects most
strenuously. No people in the world
is more interested in peace, and no
one is better posted on the subject
than is the Norwegian people. For
that reason, says Bjornson, the Nor
wegians ought not to throw away any
of the honor conferred upon them by
the great philanthroplst. Bjornson
committee on awards, but he will re-
main member of the committee as
constituted at present, being exclusive

the proposition to leave the matter to
an international committee is thor

disposing of the peace prize to an in
