Keep Your Stable Light.

When in darkened stable the iris,
or brownish curtain a ound the centre
Of the eye, expands so as to admit the
passage of sufficient rays of light for
distinct vision, but on emerging into
the glare Of day the same aperture i'm
mediately closes or grows less, a
smaller quantity of light being neces-
sary under these altered circum-
Stances. Any person who has felt tue
pain and Inconvenience of coming
suddenly from dark room into the
full blaze of day will readily conceive
the necessity for lighting stable in
the proper manner. This is too often
neglected n confined stables, and the
consequences are most distressing to
q human observer. The poor horse,
led suddenly out to his work, shows
lis pain by un.aiStakable signs, stum-
bles, aud runs against anything that
may happen TO be near, until the eye

Children and Their Studies.

: The cramming system and its
accompanying evils ale characterized
as "a National Crime at the Feet of
American Parents" by Edward Box,
in the Ladies' Home Journal. "No
child under fifteen years of age," he
contends, "should be given any home
study whatever by his teachers. He
should have not more than from one
hour to four Of schooling each day,
the hours increasing with his years.
Outside of school hours he should
have at least three hours OF play.
After fifteen the brain has another
period of rapid development, with
special increase ofthe higher faculties.
Four hours of schooling, then, is not
too much, provided the child's
physical being is capable of it, and in
time an hour of isolated study may be
added. But that is enough. Five
hours of brain work day isihe most
that we. should ask Of our children,
aud the child should pass at least two
hours a day in the open air. Our
boys and girls do not get enough
fresh air and sunshine into their
bodies and natures. The higher in
stitutions Of learning understand the
need of physical development for brain
growth far better than do our lesser
schools and our homes-sad as it is to
:admit it."

Suggestion to Fruit Cultivators.

Many of the tender or half-hardy
varieties of raspberries and black
berries would endure our severe win
ters much better, if in the late fall the
cuitivator was run between the rows,
throwing the earth toward the stems,
and in effect ridging OF hilling up
around them a little. This loose earth
forms O mulch which prevents fire.
quent freezing and thawing, and it
has tho great advantage of being a
mulch that can be quickly and cheap
ly applied, compared to the labor of
bringing mulchlng material from other
places and putting it in place. To be
most efectual it should be done as
late in the fall as possible, and if de-
layed until some morning when the
ground is frozen an inch deep, or
about that, it will be none the worse,
as the success depends much upon the
earth that is thrown up being light
aud po:us.
The fall trimming, pruning and cut
ting cut of old OF superHuous canes
should he done before this, as it facil-
itates the working among them, aud
all the wood removed should be taken
away and burned to destroy any in
sects or their eggs and any fungous
diseases that may be on or in them.
We do not doubt that similar treat
ment would he beneficial to the half
hardy ross and many of the shrubs
on the lawn, excepting that some OF
them are better trimmed in the spring.
But the hilling up around them will
help to rro:e ec5 their roo;s.

the sun will help warm it in the win
ter. There should be walk running
the entire length of the house on
the north side, so you can feed
and get the eggs without going
into the pens. The feed boxes and
water tank should be made in the
shape of drawer, so you can pull
them out an.l keep the birds from
getting into their feed and drink when
You are feeding and watering. The
nests should also be made so that they
may lie drawn out as you do the feel

the same as they are in the house, so
that there will be no cold wind enter

your birds ick and stop them from

The Use of Sweet Glover.

In al address at Sedalia on soil
renovation by DR.. H. J. Waters, dean
OF the Missouri agricultural college, it
was said that the common sweet clover
is not the peruicious, dangerous weed
so many seem to think. It can be
easily killed out by moving twice
year for two years, he said, and it is
one of the most valuable soil renovat-
ors known. It will grow and thrive
on land too poor to grow clover or
cowpeas, and it is especially suited to
build up the millions of acres Of finty
hills that are now absolute ..este,
growing up in brush. Experiments
made at Columbia show that in this
quality of soil sweet clover is more
valuable than the ordinary clover
After fe~ years of sweet clover, such
soil is built up to a point where it will
grow other renovators. In such lands
it can be easily seeded and will
smother other weeds, and in addition
it will furnish as by-product large
quantities of honey.

A New London correspondent gives
some details of the work of feather
hunt;as in exterminating the small
herring gulls at the eastern end Of
Long Island sound and the islands
beyond. The herring-gulls used to
be very common in that region, but
the feather hunters have killed or
driven away almost all OF them. On
Fenikese island there used to be a
large colony Of these birds, which was
protected and thrived so long Agassiz
had his summer school there, but
afterwards the feather-hunters began
their work, AMI o woman who visited
the isla ID last summer saw hundreds
of dead birds with their wings torn
away and many wingless birds still
alive, fed by their mates. There used

A Genial Star.{saZer,

Maria Mitchell, who has been called
the "Mother of the Stars" when pro-
;fessor of astronomy and director Of
the observatory at Vassgrwas arm
spring teacher, and, in spite Of her
brusque manner and severity, was
;adored by her pupils. Every spring,
lust before the commencement, she
'Igave "dome party" to the girls.
Small tables were placed around the
large telescope in the observatory,
and roses from Miss Mitchell's own
garden frightened the atmosphere.
Nonsense poems were feature Of
these breakfasts, and the astronomer
WAS proud of her skill in writing
them. She was not without keen
sense Of fun, in spite of her constant
and absorbing studies, as was shown
by her dryly consoling observation to
an awe-stricken student whom she
was leaving one day in charge Of the
instruments of the observatory. Look
ing back at the worried face OF the
girl, Miss Mitchell said: "And re-
member, ifthe ehronometer stops and
the sidere cal clock stops, the universe
went stcp."
