Purity" of the London Press.

After observing the frequency with
which small articles of food, of all sorts
and in all conditions are wrapped in bits
of newspaper, in London shops patron
lied by the poor, the Lancet decided
that it would be of considerable interest
to know whether there were any poi
sonous substances in, the paper or ink
which might be absorbed by such edibles
as butter, hot boiled ham, hot peas pud-
ding, ice cream and the like. The result
of its laboratory investigations has been
entirely negative. "We have examined, .
it says, ''the penny newspapers and the
halfpenny newspapers, the white news
papers and the colored newspapers, but
in no case could we find even traces
of substances that are regarded as in
furious. The green Westminster Co
settle, the pink Evening Meas, Star,
Globe and Sun were alike found to con-
tain only innocent colorings in infinite
sinai quantities" 1t is certainly some
thing to be thankful for that the colored
press is not physically, as well as NOR
ally, poisonous.

Georgia Boiled Rice.

The boiling of rice is not always wen
done, and yet it is the simplest Of mat
tiers; that it should be dry is. donbly
important when the intention is to
serve it as an addition to another veg
etable dish with savory sauce. After
washing the rice, put it over the fire
in plenty of actually boiling, salted
water, and boil it fast for twelve min
utes; then drain off all the water, place,
the saucepan containing the rice either
in the oven, with the door open, or ON
brick upon the back of the stove, and
let it steam for ten minutes longer, or
until it is as tender as desirable; every
grain will be distinct, and the rice quite,
free from moisture. Rice boiled too
~long is watery and soggy. When it Is.
tender, it may be seasoned with salt,
pepper and butter, or served plain.

House OF the Sum-"

On the island of Maui, sail of ninety
miles from Honolulu, there is the largest
volcanic crater in the world. 1t is on
the summit of Haleakala, which in
terpreted, means the House of the
Sum- Few Americans have ever seen
it. 1t is the crater of an extinct vol
cano, and not even shadowy native
tradition recalls the time of its activity.
Still it is a young mountain, as noun
tains go, for its sides have not yet been
scanned and broken into valleys by the
action of wind and stream. Nor is il
easy to realize that it is two miles high
for it raises its huge bulk from the level
of the Pacific in smooth and gradual
slaese,

The Value of Rainfall.


It is said that the rainfall brings
down about four pounds of ammonia,
or three and third pounds of nitrogen
per acre, which may be correct as a
general statement, or an average
amount, but where there are heaps of
decomposing vegetable or animal mat
ter from which ammonia is escaping in
considerable amount the air contains
more ammonia, and the rain Or snow
will absorb more of it. Unfortunately
for careless farmers it does not drop
back to the place from which it rises,
but may be carried by the wind for
miles before returning to earth, and the
farmer who makes compost heap and
does not keep it so covered with earth
Or other absorbent as to prevent the
escape of ammonia may be adding to
the fertility of the garden Of somebody
in the next county whom he never saw,
instead of putting it upon his own soil
that needs it more. Like old-fashioned
stories this has a moral. When caring
for manure or compOsts do not allow
nitrogen to escape, and keep your sur.
face soil light and dry, that it may alb,
sorb more from the atmosphere, as dry
earth is good Exchange

Wide Orchard ROWS.

There has recently been considerable
agitation over the question of whether
fruit trees, mainly apples, should be
planted in wide or narrow rows. There
are many growers who have worked on
the wide row plan, that is, the wide
row running east and west Of the or
chard, and found it most desirable.
There are several reasons why this
method of planting is desirable, but the
main one is that planted in this way
the trees have more sunlight when they
reach large size, and sunlight means an
increased crop and a better one. AS a
rule apple trees are set much farther
apart than other fruit trees because of
their large size at maturity, yet there is
no doubt that the wide-row plan is as
desirable with apple as with other
trees. On the wide-row plan pear trees,
for example, are set sixteen by twenty
eight feet, the wide rows running east
and west.

Marketing Garden Products.

Many fruit and vegetable growers in
the South and North make mistake
In watching the market reports and
shipping goods when the quoted prices
are high and holding them back when
they are low. AS a result, when the
goods reach the market they find that
too many others have done the same
thing, and when the goods are received
conditions have changed, and the mar
ket is again glutted, and prices are
down. This system may do well for
the gardener who is so near to the mar
ket that he can have prices telephoned
out to him at night and have his prod
uce on hand before daylight, or get
them at the opening of the morning
market and deliver his produce at eight
o'clock. But the man whose products
must be two or three days on the road
would often do better to ship his goods
when prices were low with the chance
of rise before his consignments come
to hand. One truck farmer near Nor
folk, Va, who is said to have retired
with nearly million dollars made in
the business, used to have one good
commission agent in each of the sew
eral cities, to whom he shipped goods,
notifying them by wire of amount and
date of shipments, and they were then
prepared to receive orders for them or
to sell them for cash on arrival, and if
he divided his shipments by any system
1t was to keep each one we'll supplied
with good produce, and accept the
average price. The dealers, knowing
they had all of his goods in the city,
could obtain the highest price Of the

Weighing Milk.

After milking each COW weigh the
milk, keep a record of it, and in a
month one will be surprised to see how
great the difference in the weight of
many cases it will be found that the
supposed prize mixer of the herd is
one of the poorest cows in the lot. This
test has proved to more than one dairy
man that he had two or three cows out
of dozen that were eating up the
profits Of the dairy, and that if he were
rid of these cows his dairy would pay
a profit. Spring scales can be bought
for about two dollars and will pay for
themselves in a month.

Growing Field Corn.

Many farmer has been saying that
there was no profit in growing corn in
New England, when Western corn
could be bought at the market price of
several years past, but when they find
that a dry season in the West has in
creased the price ten cents a bushel,
and may add ten more before the sea-
son is over, they rather envy the man
who has a field that will fill the old
corn crib and give good stack of corn
stover to save the hay next winter.
He, at least, can afford to contribute
something to the Kansas sufferers who
have found the corn crop failure this
year. But we hope the man who has
corn to buy will not be too hasty In
deciding to use less of it because Of the
advance in price. If it is loss to buy
corn instead of growing it, it may be
a greater loss to reduce the amount fed
to fattening stock, mich COWS, swine or
poultry. If satisfied that it paid to feed
it at the old price, keep on as before
and hope for better price for the
products. England Homestead.

Pasture Lands.

When I came out West, more than a
quarter of century ago, writes cor
respondent of the Prairie Farmer, it did
not take many years to find out that it
was more profitable to pasture the
grass around me than to burn it in the
fall. This pasturing of the grass was
done SO successfully that none was left
to burn or to pasture. Finally I was
compelled to break up the land and
farm it. / raised large crops Of small
grain, but soon saw that it was a
money-losing game and tried to seed
my land back to grass I found it very
difficult to get tame pastures to stick,
and if by accident / got a good stand
of timothy or clover the latter would
not last last and the former after good
crop or two would get what called sod
bound and would not produce load of
hay to the acre. | know now why the
timothy did no good after year or
two. 1t was because we pastured it to
the roots, thinking it economical to let
the stock eat the last spear Of grass
that showed up in the fall. Land hav-
ing by that time advanced in price,
could not afford to own pastures Of that
kind, and so 1 overstocked it to make
both ends meet. l made up my mind
to own less and better stock, and this
change in no time made a great i'm
provement in my pastures. l soon saw
that a growth, of grass covered the pas
turnes in dry weather when all the
range in short pastures was burned.

ing young girls to London for revolt
ing purposes.
The principal witness was Daisy
Adams, almost a child. who wore a
m-o-shanter hat and long curls.
Diss de Barr sat in front OF the
witness and tried to hypnotic the
witness, but the girl turned her back
and addressed the Judge.
She said she had been brought to
London by the Jacksons upon being
promised an opportunity Of learning
music. When she arrived here she
was proclaimed as the child of the
Virgin Mary. Jackson hypnotized
her and told her she was a religious
creature and must obey him. Then
in the presence of both the Jacksons
she was subjected to the most out
rageous indignities.
The story OF the revolving practices
INDUCED in by these people were far
worse than what was related when
Oscar Wilde was on trial a few years
ago.
Diss de Barr frequently interrupted
the proceedings by violent exclama'
| tions until compelled to desist by the
court.

them he confldes his hopes, fears
and ambitions. and upon them in a
great measure rests the success of
his mighty undertakings.
The peace policy of the czar,
which resulted in the recent confer
ence at The Hague and the estab-
iishment of permanent court of ar
bitration to determine international
disputes. was suggested to his mind
by the expenditures for the main.
