Table Decoration.

If pansies are plentiful cut the stems
off short and place n border Of flowers
about each plate. Around the roast
the border should be three rows deep.
1t should be remembered, however,
that the simplest harmony is the best,
and that flowers. asgnear Of a colorlas
possible should be used. II this is not
practicable have the shading rrn from,
dark to light, with the darkest colors
nearest the platter. In arranging the
largest on the side fnrtlS lS,st from the
tables edge, the smaller onesnext, arG
the tiniest blossoms last and nearest
the guest. In this color scheme use
also some small vine, like the tender
shoots of the 4ampeIopsis or smilax,
having as light a shade Of green and
as small leaves as possible. Twlne
these around the edges Of the doilieB,
training the ends: Of the long sprays
out TO the edge Of the table, thus
marking of the space for each guest.
If candles are used, twine.. a small
spray around each. The whole effect
will be one Of the most delicate beauty.

Insects IN Porto RIc0

The mosquitoes Of Porto Rico are
distinguished by bodies as big as our
house flies. During the night they
would congregate in the little shelter
tents and amuse themselves by sing
Ing and making onslaughts on the SOL
diers, drawing blood every time. In
the morning we would see them at the
top Of the tent gorged after the ban
quet. In fact, these buzzards Of the
insect tribe spilled more American
blood than did all the Spaniards In
Porto Rico. At first they were very
annoying, but after time we became
mosquito-immunes and Indifferent to
them; or perhaps they ignored us when
the climate had reduced US In weight
all the way from twenty to fifty
pounds apiece. Mosquito netting was
early discarded by the men, the at
mosphere being too close for Its use
with any comfort.
The ants should not be forgotten In
this connection. The large black ones
would infest our mess kits by the
thousands, and the little red fellows
would get between our fingers and bite
with O viciousness out Of oil proper
ton Of their size. Then there are the
wasps, which one of the men stirred
I'D one day while knocking down q
creen cocoanut and which sWarmed
over the horses and caused them to
stampede. Another insect well to
avoid is the "jigger" flea, which Is
fond of burrowing In PERSONS flesh
and laying Its eggs under the skin,
necessltating surgical attention. The
soldiers were not troubled by them,
however, as they prefer to devote
themselves to persons who go about In
bare feet.-New York Mail and Ex.

The Right Kind OF a Bone.

A hog with weak leg and poor
foot is not u profitable hog for the
feeder, for, when n hogs foot is sore
and he is lame, he does not fatten or
grow hence the Importance of having
good feet and strong fIinty bone in our
commercial hog. The butcher has no
use for 40 or 20 ms more of bone to
each hog. Large, coarse. spongy bone
has had its day and Is not wanted now
by anyone. The experiment stations
have concluslvely proved the fact that
the bone of the animal can be ehardened,
strengthened and improved by the
food given. Bone meal can be fed to
hogs in some instances profitably and
is recommended by some. but wood
ashes Will. answer all purposes and can
be had mostly without any outlay OF
money.

HOW to Make the sbeep ray

. Sheep have an advantage over most
farm animals by virtue Of the mar
ketable qualities of the carcass and
wool. When wool is in fair demand
at reasonable prices it should pay for
the keep of the sheep, with interest on
the investment, and sometimes little
profit additional. If the wool Will do
this why should q farmer nsk for
more? Sometimes the. cry is heard
that wool does not pay. What is
meant by this generally Is that a Ger
tain good profit from the wool alone
cannot be made each year over. and
above expenses. Even IL wool does
not pay in this way the sheep can be
made to pay. If the wool Will bring
in enough to pay for the keep OF the
sheep and the interest, look Mt the
profits that should be made In many
other ways. The lambs should then
represent clear profit, and after the
eve has seen It's best days of useful
ness there is always a market for 1t.
Here is another profit that Is not COM
monty counted in, for the cost OF the
eve is figured upatso much year. and
the price received for it hardly seems to
pay for the keeping.
One must, in order to. be fair with
the sheep. figure out the different
profits from the, wool, the lambs and
the mutton. It>is poor year, indeed,
when the wool cannot be made to pay
for the keep Of the sheep, and with
prices as they are now it can be made
to bring in good deal more. One
man of course makes more in this
way than another, because he is able
to study the economy Of feeding better,
and sometimes the conditions for rails
ing food chcaply are in his favor. But
no one who attempts to raise sheep
for living can afford to neglect inti-
mate and constant study of this side
of the question. The feeding that will
keep the sheep in good condition and
cost the least possible s:m is what we
are all aiming at The lambs should
be made regular part Of the crop,
almost as regular as the wool, and the
lambs must be raised at the right seas
ons to bring the greatest profit. A
good eve that will drop lamb regu-
larly and rear 1t without trouble Is q
desirable animal. But there Is always
q tendency to keep good ewes that pro-
duce valuable wool and good lambs
too long. Remember that the carcass
of the eve Aself Is a part Of the blsi-
ness. and do not keep the animal so
long that. It Will die on your hands or
have no marketable value. ltis better
to raise a few crops Of wool and lambs
from her, and then send her to market,
raising meanwhile a good lamb TO
take her place. In this way we Keep

The Refrirerato,r.

A large refrigerator or ice-bo1 is
more economical in the long run than
a small one, though the first cost may
be greater. And as It is to be used
summer after summer, IL is the ice
economy that must be. considered. In
arranging for the supply Of ice 1t Is
better to have the box filled to Its ut
most twice or three times a week
rather than smaller piece every day.
When the box Is thoroughly chilled 1t
keeps not only the meat and vege.
tables, but the Ice itself. Put in 100
pounds If possible, and on the morn
Ing of the third or fourth day 1t will
be found that piece will still remain.
Another caution is to open the portion
where the Ice is kept as rarely as
possible. The cold chamber is the
place to put everything, even bottles
or water and butter: the gust of heat
ed air that strikes directly upon the
ice when this is exposed is the, agent
which makes 1t disappear.
