Told by a Smoker.

In the cigar stores of New York an
Objectionable fad seems to have orig
mated. The cigar dealers there now
make practice of giving to their Gus
toners a box of matches of a kind orig
inally invented for the use of marines.
They have fat heads ad they cannot be
blown out by the strongest wind. The
careless purchaser, who has been used
to matches that will go out if you wave
them after lighting your cigar, strikes
one Of these new-fangled things reck-
lessly, and as recklessly throws it
burns on, wherever he throws it. l
was given five or six of these danger
Gus affairs recently by as many cigar
dealers, and as had been accustomed
to the ordinary match of commerce, l
used them accordingly. I threw one
from the window of an Office building
and it fell on the awning of the win
dow below. That caught fire, and much
excitement was created. Then | went
into the lobby of a hotel and bought
some more cigars. I was given the
same kind of match. but did not no.
tice it. l lighted cigar and threw
the match away 1t fell into the waste
paper basket of the hotel stenographer,
and if a cool-headed person had not
come to the rescue, the fire departme nt
would have been called out. They are
dangerous things to handle.

Sun-baked swill in filthy barrels;
swill that is fermented into the sharp
est acid and putrefied into disgusting
mass; swill that attracts myriads Of
carrion-loying flies, is not fit for the
hogs. 1t is full of miasma and disease
germs Of various kinds, and hence it is
dangerous to feed it, says the Farm,
Stock and Home. Pleasantly soured
swill-swill that is mildly acids all
right, but it should not be allowed to
pass that stage before it is fed; and in
hot weather it gets past that stage very
quickly 1t is not easy to look after such
things carefully in the rush of all kinds
of work at this season, and some can
not receive such suggestions with pa
tience, which is not surprising, but for
all that it will pay to give some
thoughts to the pigs. 1t will not be
regretted at their harvest time.

Cake Pointers.

A good cook supplies the following
hints for cake-makers.
Regulate the temperature of the oven
according to the kind of cake to be
made.
Fold the -four carefully, instead of by
strong circular strokes.
Keep the raisins, currants and other
Fruit warm room over night, dredge
thoroughly with -four and stir in lightly
the last thing.
Line the tins for loaf cakes with oiled
paper and make loaf cake an inch high
er at the sides to support paper cover
and prevent it's baking too hard.
Whip the whites of eggs to a coarse,
moderately stiff froth rather than fine
stiff one.
Place the cake in the oven as soon as
the baking powder is added.
Grease the tin with sweet lard rather
than butter and sift little flour over.
Have everything in readiness before
commencing to mix the ingredients,
have the latter at the right temperature
and do not suspend the mixing until the
cake is ready fer the oven.
According to an old housekeeper two
apples kept in the cake box will keep
moderately rich cake moist for length
.af time IL the apples are renewed when
withered- Albany Times-Union.

Pound Foolishncss.

one Of the commonest forms Of pound
foolishness is countenanced by many
high authorities, says the Independent.
This is the purchase of certain house
hold provisions in large quantities. Few
writers on domestic topics fail to lay
stress upon the economy Of buying gro
ceries in bulk. That sugar and -four,
potatoes and apples should be bought
by the half or whole barrel, cereals by
the case, butter by the tub, and other
things in like proportions is one of the
early precepts in the Young House
keepers Complete Guide TO Domestic
Economy" The ignorant young things
buy the provisions first and the expert
ence afterward. The -four grows musty,
the cereals develop weevils, the pOta-
toes and apples rot long before they can
be eaten, and the cook exercises Law
iShneSS in the use of the butter and
sugar she would never show were they
bought i'll such limited amounts that
the housekeeper could hold close watch
over them. Even after these events the
young mistress feels as if she were alb
so1utely reckless and no manager at all
when she so far departs from house
hold law as to buy food in small guam
titles.

Corn Pudding.

Cut the thinnest possible shaving off
the ear OF corn, and so on with the
shaving until the cob is reached; this
does not make the pudding as mushy
IS to scrape the corn. Shave enough
corn so you have two cups of the pulp;
stir in two well-beaten eggs, tablespoon
of butter, threefourth teaspoon salt,
one-fourth teaspoon pepper; stir thor
oughly and gradually add two cups OF
sweet milk; bake in a pudding dish
three fourtbs Of an hour; serve hot with
meat.

Cleaning Buggy and Harness.

The method used by one farmer and
one which makes it possible to perform
the work without soiling ones gar
ments to any disagreeable extent is:
He first removes all cushions, cur
tains, etc, dusts well and cleanses
leather or rubber parts. The next is to
place the buggy on two trestles and re-
move the wheels to watering trough,
which is beneath large willow tree.
Spray the buggy. Then turn the wheels
around in the trough. At the same time
remove all earthly matter that is soaked
enough not to scratch the varnlsh. The
wheels, or any part, must not be kept
wet long or the paint will acquire a
Whitish color, in which case little lin
seed oil ON a soft rag can be used with
good effect, after the paint has been
thoroughly dried.

Hints for the Horseman.

Use land plaster in the stalls to alb
sorb the ammonia.
Poor feeding will make weak colt
and unsound limbs.
Never allow any one to tease the
colts. Teasing invariably makes a
vicious horse.
Make the stable doors wide, so there
is no danger of q horse knocking his
hips when passing through.
Handle the colt every day. Handle
his legs and pick up his feet. A petted,
well handled colt will make a gentle
horse.
Give the colts and horses all the sun
shine in the stables that is possible. A
dark, damp stable will cause rheuma-
tism, and is conducive to all sorts of
ills.
Better than a Stat door or drop bar
across a door to keep horses in or out,
bore q hole through one door post and
nearly through the other Slip in piece
Of inch or larger iron pipe. 1t is easy
to slide it to pass in and out.
Put q well-ftted leather halter on the
colts head with a short strap attached
Several times each day take hold of this
strap and hold him or pull him around
In short tine he will be halter broken
without the straining Of fight if tied
up at once.
The teeth Of both young and old
horses often need attention when they
do not get anything of the kind. Eff
fects are thus produced that are some
times attributed to altogether different
influences. No wonder that horse with
teeth constantly dtsordered becomes a
horse of confirmed bad temper.

Winter Feed for Poultry.

If those who handle poultry during
the winter would only remember that
during the summer the two things
fowls hunt for most when on the range
are insects and green stuff, and provide
plenty of green food during the winter,
the egg result would be materially in
creased. Give the laying hens variety
in grains also, but let the main portion
of the grain be given in small quanti-
ties and placed where the hens will
need to scratch it.

has proved very satisfactory to all who
have grown it, is healthy, vigorous
grower, and remarkably productive.
The berries are large, uniform in
shape, deep crimson in color, and OF
fine flavor. It is mid season in time of
ripening, hence the blossoms can be
fortified by any of the perfect blossom
sorts so numerous among the mid-sea-
son Varieties One feature of the plant
is its deep-rooting qualities, which
must of necessity make it somewhat
independent of dry weather.-Indian-

Veal Soun.

Simmer q knuckle of veal with one
quart Of small white onions in four
quarts Of water for two hours. Then
add half of a small bakers loaf of bread
cut into slices. Cook slowly for two
hours longer. Take out the knuckle
and strain the remaining contents Of
the kettle through fine sieve and re-
turn to the kettle. Rub to a cream two
tablespoonful each Of butter and -four,
and stir the mixture into the boiling
soup, stirring constantly until it thick
ems. AID four cupfuls of cream, salt and
pepper to taste and serve at once.

Poultry Success says statistics show
that from Missouri alone during the
last year 1O6,9S8,71O pounds of poultry,
live and dressed, was shipped an in
crease of SO, 907, 443 pounds over the pre-
ceding year. OF eggs shipped from there
there were 34,975,04O dozen, making
the poultry industry worth to the pro-
Queer in the one State alone, mind,

bacco and cotton seed raised there.

False Economics in Farming.

For some reason nearly every farmer
considers that he must ecOnOm1ze in
the matter Of seeds. If he does not
make the mistake Of buying cheap
seeds, that is, seeds low in price but
poor in quality, he tries to save on the
quantity with the result that he loses
IN the crop. In the sowing of grass
seeds, for example, In which clover
has a part, how many farmers have
blamed the clover seed or claimed that
the soil was GLOVER SICK" when the
only trouble was he did not use enough
seed. AS rule, the catalogues Of seeds
men are safe guides to the quantity
of seed necessary with grass seed.
Then there is the fertilizer economy,
and here economy is practiced both in
quantity and in kind. That is, the farm
er will find that a certain fertilizer, ap-
piled in moderate quantities, has i'm
proved the wheat yield and ever after
he uses the same amount and the same
kind in growing wheat, forgetful of the
fact that he is taking from the soil in
the crop other plant foods which he is
not returning Result, WORKOUT soil.
Look into the question of these and
other economies and see if they really
are economies.

an Storing Farm Tools.

1t would seem as if it were unneces-
sary to urge farmers to take care OF
their tools, yet during a recent trip OF
dianapolis News says he counted no
less than twenty tools of various kinds
exposed to the rain and sun. These
were seen from the windows of a
swiftly moving train, so that 1t is safe
to say that, including the farms a mile
distant from the railroad, there were
more than two hundred tools out of
doors that ought to have been under
cover. After such a sight it was re-
lief to reach a farm where the tools
were well cared for. On the farm in
question was long, narrow building
devoted entirely to a storage place for
tools and repair shop. After each tool
was used it was put under the shed,
and during the winter all of the wood
work was thoroughly painted and all
Of the metal that had rusted was sand
papered There was a small anvil in the
part Of the structure devoted to re-
pairs, bench with both iron and wood
yises, drawers divided into compart-
ments for bolts, screws, nails and nuts
Of various sizes and very fair set of
carpenters tools. The owner claimed
that this repair shop had saved it's cost
every year in blacksmith's bills, and
that by caring for his tools he was not
only able to do better work with them,
but they were in shape for good use
for many years longer than they had
been neglected.
