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
cu)tivator was run between the rows,
throwing the earth toward the stems,
and in effect ridging or hilling up
around them little. This loose earth
forms mulch which prevents fire.
quent freezing and thawing, and it
has the great advantage of being a
mulch that can be quickly and cheap
ly applied, compared to the labor of
bringing mulching material from other
places and putting it in place. To be
most effectual it should be done as
late in the fall as possible, and if de-
layed until some morning when the
ground is frozen nm 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
and porus.
The fall trimming, pruning and cut
ting cut of old or superduous canes
should be done before this, as it facil-
itates the working among them, and
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 be beneficial 10 the half
hardy roses 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 protect their roots.

The English Grunting Habit.

An observant philosopher, who has
lately been devoting considerable at
tentiou to the study of modern man
uers, has been much struck with the
habit of grunting and pseudo-cough-
ing which is growing among both
sexes, and threatens to become pub
lie nuisance wherever two or three
men or women are gathered together.
When nobody has anything to say.
some one begins an affected cough,
which is merely the Indication of
mind with nothing in it, or makes
cultural grunt, to prove that its au-
thor is still alive. The correspondent
continues: ''If people do not exer-
else little self-restraint and check
this pernicious habit We shall soon be
called nation of snorters and grunt-
ers. On Sunday last I was at church
and Immediately behind me sat wom-
an with her young children, and
during the sermon, to which I was
listening intently, my thoughts were
distracted by the woman behind me
constantly grunting-possibly the doc
trine hit her too hard. Her children
followed suit. When asked on the
way home why they grunted, the elder
of the youngsters repliel, Nanny

Too Smart a Dog.

outdo everybody else in telling of the
wonderful sagacity of animals he had
known, or seen, or heard of that Rev.
DR.. Herrick, U. S. A., retired, told
this story. On any less authority I
confess should have had my doubts
as to the truth of it, but DR.. Herriok
actually knew the man to whom the
thing happened. 1t was about dog, OF
course. The town, I believe, although
I am not quite sure, was Atlanta. DR..
Herrick's friend was driving along
Peachtree street when he met the
man who owned the dog, on foot.
DR.. Herrick's friend ediately
invited him to Jump in and take ride.
The dogs owner said he would go
with great pleasure if he only had his
gloves with him.

Keep Your Stable Light.

When in darkened stable the iris,
or brownish curtain around 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 the
pain and inconvenience of coming
suddenly from dark room into the
full blaze of day will readily conceive
the necessity for lighting a stable in
the proper manner. This is too often
neglected in confined stables, aud the
consequences are most distressing to
a human observer. The poor horse,
led suddenly out to his work, shows
his pain by unmistakable signs, STUN
bles, and runs against anything that
may happen to be near, until the eye
has in some degree accommodated it.
self to the rev circumstance under
which it is placed.
Nor is this all. By continuance
of this change from darkness to sud-
den daylight the eye becomes seriously
injured. The retina, or sensible ner-
vous expansion, becomes deadened
and more or less useless; the horses
sight is injured; he starts and SHES at
objects which he sees imperfectly; and
many a rider who has received dan
gerous injury has had to thank his in
attention to this simple cause rather
than any vicious habit of the animal,
to which it has been attributed.
Blindness is almost certain to be
caused by inattention to the above
caution; but even blindness itself is
less dangerous to the rider than i'm
perfect sight. In the first case the
horse is forced to trust entirely to the
bride; but in the latter objects only
half distinguished terrify and startle,
though they would under ordinary
circumstances be passed without
notice. IF. D. Coburn in The Horse

MINERS AND MORPHINE.
A Necessary Custom Which IL Not Pie
mt 70 CONTAIN plate.

A Necessary Custom Which Is Not Pleas.
mt to Contemplate.
"When I was in the northwest dur
ing last October" said gentleman
with some money invested in mines,
81 employed a prospector to go out
into the mountains looking for prop
critics which had BEEN recommended
to me. One day he was to have gone
from our camp over into very rough
and rocky district, bnt when evening
came he reported that he hadn't made
the trip"
"'Why not?' inquired.
"sBecauss I didn't have my NOR
phine with me, he responded in .
very matter of fact manner.
"'Morphine?' said I in astonish-
ment, what has that got to do with
it? You are not a morphine fend,
are you?'
"'Not as much of a one Is you are
q tenderfoot,' he laughed, and pro-
ceeded to inform me that every pros
pector who knew his business always
carried with him enough morphine to
kill man easily, and that he did SO
in order to end himself quickly in
case of an accident which would dis
able him far away from assistance.
There were many instances of pros
pectors falling over cliffs aud crippling
themselves, or breaking leg in hole
among the rocks, or rendering them
selves helpless in some other way, and
death was sure to follow by starvation
or freezing, or in some sections by
being devoured by wolves or other
wild animals. In order to prevent
such horrible death as any of these,
the prospector simplifed matters by
always carrying little packet of NOR
phine, which not only quieted the
pain of the hurt he had sustained, but
put him to sleep pleasantly to wake
no more on earth. It struck me at
first as uncanny, not to say wicked,
but I got over that feeling after mar
row escape or two, ard l carried my
little tin box just like a veteran
would. "-Washington Star.

The Hen and Her Care.

Every keeper of poultry should have
q light, warm house and one that is
convenient for feeding and caring for
the fowls. It should be built in a
warm, sunny place, whore it will be
protected from the cold winds. The
front of the house should be to the
south, and it should have windows
enough to admit plenty OF sunlight. as
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, 50 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 and keep the birds from
getting into their feed and drink when
you are feeding and watering. The
nests should also be made 50 that they
may be drawn out as you do the feed
boxes. The windows are to be cased,
the same as they are in the house, SO
that there will be no cold wind enter
ing. Cold draughts are sure to make
your birds sick and stop them from
laying in winter.

Work Of the Beavers.

A stick of wood cut from the trunk
of small tree by the keen teeth of a
beaver has been presented to the free
museum by Joseph Paquet. 1t will
be no novelty to such as have fshed
along streams frequented by beavers,
but beavers are becoming scarce now,
and there are thousands of people in
Portland who have read of how beav-
ers cut down trees, but have never
seen sample of their work, and to
these the stick will be very interest
ing. Just how large tree beaver
or beavers can cut down only an old
trapper can say, but it is no trick at
all for th,m to fell an ash or alder
tree six inches in diameter, and they
Lave better luck than the average
wood-chopper in falling trees in the
direction they desire.

To 90 about with hoods on so they

to 90 about with hoods on so they
could not see, and TO lie shut mp III
dark places without food or water for
n week or more. 1t is not necessary
to resort 10 cruel methods to break up
a hen that wants to sit, says writer
in Blooded Stock. What is wanted is
to turn the desire to sit into the desire
to lay again. 1t will 10 but little ad-
vantage to have them broken from
wanting to sit and have them lay four
or five eggs only to again become
broody, which they will do if they are
not cared for as they should be. The
reason for this is that the conditions
which caused the hen to become
broody have not been changed and
they cannot be changed by force.
When hen becomes broody it means
that the egg producing capacity of
her system, for the time being, has
become exhausted and that recupera-
tion is needed. The first step to such
recuperation is rest, and being an in
dustrious bird, they feel that they
might as we'll raise a brood while
resting as to fool away their time.
Some animals and birds may be stimu-
lated to do that which is not natural
for them, but is it best? The tired
horse may be urged on by the aid OF
whip.
A practice that is recommended by
some thoughtful breeders which will
break the hen, and at the same time
have her in a good condition to 60
right to business, is to place one esq
under her, letting her sit for one
week, feeding her once in two days
during the time as if she were really
sitting on a whole clutch. But very
little food will be needed on account
Of lack of exercise. At the close of
the week place her in a coop with a
slated bottom raised few inches
from the ground, for n couple of days,
and she will lose her desire TO sit and
III few days will begin laying in
earnest.

"a point lace, over white satin, worth

full value besides. Mr.. Balcombe is
7ery particular about such things"
Ellsn Purple colored deeply.
''B,,t are they quite certain that
she did tear it?' asked Ellen.
GOA, she denied it, of course" said
the girl. They always do. But she
was responsible for the goods under
her charge, of course-aud if she
didn't tear it who did? That's the
question.
81 can tell you" said Ellen Purple,
quietly; II did,"
"You, miss" The girl looked at
Ellen as if she thought her partially
insane. Aunt Keturah was almost
equally amazed.
"My dear child" said she 81 don't

"Yes, I do" said Ellen, peremp-

through lack of moral courage, to fall

were more serious than SIZE had

went on, 'tand through my careless

And the upshot of the interview was
that Eliza Lowe was engaged as seam

Items Of Interest to Farmers.

Keep charcoal and salt where the
fattening hogs can have easy access to
them.
Breed the young sows so that they
will farrow their young litters in the
spring after the grass has come.
That the hog is filthy animal is
the fault of its owner. Hogs prefer
cleanly quarters and will take them
when they can get them.
Only small amount of cornmeal
should be used in feeding the pig, and
it should be combined with other feed
that makes bone and muscle.
Growing pigs must have exercise,
but not too much of it. If they run
over an extensive range they cannot
be kept in sufficiently good condition
to give the best results.
It takes the least feed from the time
of weaving until the pig is finished
for market if it is kept always in good
condition. If it loses that condition
there must be extra feeding and longer
time to bring him up to it again.
To raise them pro6tably the pigs
should be kept in good health aud
continually growing. There is some
thing wrong in the breeding CT care if
the pig cannot be made ready for mar
ket by the time he is ten months old.
The scraps from the table and
kitchen and vegetable waste, fruit
peelings, ETC., should all be utilized
as feeding stuff. The pigs and chick
ems will eat them, and they furnish q
variety, and the kind of food that is
needed.
When the weather is cold and wet
remember that portion of the feed is
employed in keeping up the animal
heat, and that consequently more feed
is needed at such times. Well-shel.
tered, clean, d'y, warm quarters,
economist feed.

The Currant Worm Giving Trouble.
The Use OF Sweet Glover.

In an address at Sedalia on sell
renovation by DR.. H. J. Waters, dean
of the Missouri agricultural college, it
was said that the common sweet clover
is not the pernicious, dangerous weed
so many seem to think. It can be
easily killed out by moving twice a
year for two years, he said, and it is
one of the most valuable soil renovat-
ors known. 1t 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 ainty
hills that are now absolute waste,
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 few years of sweet clover, such
soil is built up to 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.
