One Thing and Another.

The crossing of raisin grapes has pro-
crossed far enough to warrant the
statement by the agricultural depart
ment that time and judicious work are
all that are necessary to obtain the
hardness of plant and the required
fruiting qualities in California, Arizona
and Nevada.
The value of sorghum as a bay or
fodder plant for the middle and west
ern states is no longer a matter of con-
lecture.
A decided decrease in the rate of
yield of hay is the report for the east
ern, east central, southern, southwest
ern and Rocky mountain states-in
fact, it is only in Kansas, Nebraska.
South Dakota, North Dakota and the
Pacific states that the yield per acre
exceeds that Of last year. Except in
the states where the production is
above the average the quality also
compares somewhat unfavorably with
the average Of a series of years.

ring briskly all the while, and reduce
to thick cream. When the paste loses
its whiteness and looks clear, it is
ready. Very thin paper requires CORE
spondingly thin paste.
First the paper is laid face down
ward on the table and the paste ap-
piled in thin, even surfaces. The top
Of the piece is then pulled and doubled
back on itself and another portion Of
the back pasted. When this process is
complete, the piece Is seized by the
two top corners, which are carefully
placed up against the cornice or cell
ing, with an allowance of about half
an inch for margin. This top edge is
pressed to the wall, so as to stick, the
paper is stretched downward and a
mark made at the bottom where it
reaches the wafnscot. A clean distem-
per brush Is next used down the mid
die Of the piece of paper, and when it
is SO fixed in position, being made per-
pendicular by means of a plumb line
the scissors are drawn across it at the
edge of the cOrnice or ceiling and at
the top Of the wainscot to separate the
margins that have been left A clean
cloth Is then worked over the paper
from the middle to the edges until it
lies evenly over the wall.

HOW TO HANG PAPER.
The Field For Amateur Efforts and
Main Points of the Process.

Main Points of the Process
1t Is unlikely that any but the most
enthusiastic amateur would ATTEMPT TO

the house. But there are sometimes
up stairs rooms which would form q
happy hunting ground for those desir-
Gus Of trying their hand at this particu-
lar kind of amateur decorative employ
ment
If the walls are already covered with
paper this should be removed. Warm
water and some sort of a scraper will
assist in tearing off the old covering.
and nail holes must be filled with plas-
ter of paris
Having renewed the surface Of the
walls, we start by giving them a cou-
pie of coats of size. Size is made by
boiling glue in water in the proportion
of one pound to two gallons, mixing
well and allowing to stand till cold.
The next thing is to cut the paper
successfully. We first put the roll on
the table and gradually undo it, letting
the loose pieces fall on the floor and
cutting along the edge Of the paper
close up to the pattern. In better class
wall coverings this cutting off the edge
is performed on both sides, but for
cheap papers on one side only, the 9TH
er side being Tapped over by the neigh
boring piece. The paper is now cut in
to lengths as required, a couple of inch
es being left as safeguard. When the
first piece is cut to the required length
ready for the wall, the roll is undone
and another piece cut the same length
first. The pattern must be made
Itch, and it is possible that
of three or four inches will have
To - made on each piece on this &C
count.

WINTER MUShMELON GROWN IN UTAH.
some years the department of agricul-
ture has been interested in this type of
melon. Previous to the Spanish-Amer-
lean war seeds taken from melons
brought from Havana under the name
'Turkestan" were sent to California,
where they were reported as succeed
ing well in Los Angeles county.
Through Professor Hansen the govern
ment also imported from Khiva, Tur-
kestan, the finest seed prOcurable and
distributed it to growers in the south
west and in Utah. According to men
ton going the rounds of the press, they
were failure in the southwest but
have succeeded well in Utah. The
Utah melons average from II to Is
pounds and are Of superior flavor.
They grow very much like other mel
ons, but when frost comes they are
gathered and put in a cellar to riDen.
At the time of picking they have a
taste like cucumberS and reach their
tull flavor about Jan. l. In appearance
the melon is said to resemble very
much a small rattlesnake watermelon.
The meat is very solid, thick and edi-
bic to the rind and the flavor very
spicy and delicious.
According to official report, three of
the largest melons imported for seed
weighed up to 80 pounds The flesh is
white and, as is shown in the illustra-
ton, of good thickness.

Satisfactory Lawn Shrub.

One of the most satisfactory shrubs
L ever grew on the lawn is Spiraa
van houttei. When in full bloom, ii
looks very much like a great bank of
snow. The flowers are small and borne
in great clusters, SO great in fact that
they bend the long, slender stems al
most to the ground. 1t truly isa beau
tiful thing, hardy as an oak and does
not sucker. If could have only one
shrub on the lawn, it would be Spiraa
van houttei, says writer in an ex-
change.

1t Pays to Fatten

1t will require about six weeks to
fatten chickens for market, and If a
farmer only once tries fattening the
fowls sold and notes the difference In
price obtained he will not again catch
up whatever he can of the supply of
the farm and sell without having first
prepared them for the market, SAYS
Iowa Homestead. This is a very COM
mon practice on the farm and one that
Is fast becoming apparent as a mis-
take.

THE PENSION ROLL.
Washington Officials Believe 1t VIII NOS
Decrease In the Next Twenty
Three Years.

Washington, May 2.-It has been
estimated that $4,000 names were
dropped from the pension rolls an
nually during the past five years, and
based upon this a statement has been
made that within the next 20 years
the pension roll will disappear entire
ly. The total number of pensioners
at this time is 993,529. A prominent
official of the pension bureau declared
that there is no foundation for such
speculation in view Of the fact that
there has been an increase in the num-
Der of pensioners of over 1000 during
the past yea, while nearly 5000
names have been restored Of pension
ers who were dropped for various
reasons. As food for conjecture, the
pension bureau records show that al
though the Mexican war was fought
IS years ago there are still $3.50 sur
vivors on the roll and within 200 OF
that number of widows. The decrease
of survivors of that war has been q
little over 1000 during the past four
years. but the number of widows has
increased. There is but one veteran
of the war of 1912 drawing pension,
and 1,742 widows Of soldiers of that
war. During the past four years tho
decrease OF widows has been 2,SlO.
Considering the present rate OF in
crease Of pensions to soldiers of tho
Spanish American war, the increase
Of widows of soldiers Of the civil war
and the decrease Of survivors of the
civil war, conservative pension Off
Gals are led to the conclusion that,
barring the possibility Of more liber-
al pension legislation, the present
pension roll will remain practically
the same to the government for the
next 90 years.
