win Not Lend the BOOKS.

A noted book collector of New York,
one whose library is filed with some of
the rarest treasures of the bibliophile's
heart, recently complained of the to-
tai lack of the collectors spirit among
literary men. 81 was recently asked by
a literary man to send him copy of
an extremely rare book that have on
my shelves to aid him in some work he
is doing. Now, 1 want to help him all
lean, and If he will come to my house
he can have the use of the book as long
as he wants 1t, under the most favora-
BILE circumstances. But send him the
book-no, under no circumstances! 1t
is not the fact that 1t is worth hundreds
of dollars anywhere in the market, but
the fact that If damaged or lost 1t would
be utterly irreplaceable that makes the
collector shudder. If it We're lost or
spoiled Mr.. Literary Man would send
an AFFECT letter expressing his deep
contritlon at an untoward accident, per-
haps with a check inclosed, but of the
real horror of the situation think he
and his tribe could have no inkling."

Raising Young Turkeys.

There is neither luck nor tact in rails
ing young turkeys but simply good care
and the right kind of food, says Field
and Farm writer. One of the first
steps is to have good eggs from we'll
mated fowls. Set the eggs under a
chicken hen. Be sure not to give her
too many or she will wean them when
too young. or as soon as they get large
enough to crowd. Five or seven are
enough for one hen. 1t takes the eggs
about four weeks to hatch and every
thing should be in, readiness for the
poults. 1t is necessary to have a good
COOP. Make it without a bottom and
set 1t on the ground. Confine the hen
and let the little turkeys run in and
out Mt their pleasure. Put the coop
away from the chickens, and with
planks about twelve inches wide and
eight or ten long make them small
park SO they cannot wander away from
the mother hen. The coop should be
moved to a fresh place every day and
the little park every other day until
the little turkeys are old enough to fol-
low the hen mother. Young turkeys
that run with old ones will grow faster
and arc far less trouble, but they are
likely to wander away and get lost.

Pruning the Orchard in Summer.
Besides the thinning out and shorten
Ing Of fresh growth in summer, such as
has been referred to several times in
these columns, 1t would often be work
well done to thin out branches which
are too close together, branches which
should have been cut out in winter, but
which were neglected. 1t is often a
good deal easier to see when to cut in
summer than 1t is in winter, rs the re-
quirements Of the tree can be better
understood. But few fruit growers
keep their trees open enough. The
trees are SO dense that the branches
cannot perfect themselves and neither
flowers nor fruit can be looked for.
When branches are but small one is apt
to forget the future and permit too
many Of them to form. 1t is well to
keep in mind that lot Of inside
branches to which the sun never gets
will not bear fruit. They are useless
and should come out, that the sun may
reach what are left. In summer time
1t is easy to see at once when enough
y
has been thinned out. Besides this ad-
vantage, there is another, viz. the scars
quickly heal when cut while the sap is
active. Besides the thinning out and
sharpening Of the tree, summer pruning
Of cherries, plums, pears and like fruits
has the effect Of making them fruit
bearing in short time. A young shoot
Of a cherry cut back within few eyes
Of its base, will form fruit buds on the
spur left. A pear shoot shortened in
one-half will often form fruit bud at
the point where cut off. Very often a
tree which has not fruited will be made
to do So for the first time by these
means. There is always much pleasure
in having tree of good outline, and
for this and the reason already given,
pay attention to the pruning. st Louis

l. Inning SO1Is
If we thought we had soil that needed
more lime in 1t to sweeten 1t, we would
prefer the phosphate OF lime either as
an acid phosphate or in the very fine
ground phosphate rock. or basic Stag,
such as are usually called floats. In
any strong soil, rich in humus or decay
ing vegetable matter, or where a green
crop had been plowed under, we think
either Of these would dissolve quickly,
while the cost Is not much greater than
that Of sulpbate Of lime or common
land plaster. Then we should get the
benefit of the phosphoric acid as well
us of the lime. But to get the full adj
vantage of the lime we would put the
field in cabbages, cauliflowers. turnips,
wheat or other small grains, or in
grass. Lime is of little advantage for
corn, and on potatoes it is said to In
crease the scab and decrease the value
of the crops II not the quantity. With
strip of litmus paper 1t is easy to as
certain If the soil needs lime. as the pa
per put in wet soil will turn red IL there
ls too much acid, but IL 1t Is still blue
the soil is sweet or has lime enough.
Wood ashes also contain lime, mixed
with potash. In some soils this is the
best form to apply lime, as potash is
often needed, but 1t is not easy here to
buy good wood ashes.-American Guilt.

NEW USE FOR ELECTRICITY.
IGuinea Pigs Arc Fnttcned by the En-.
pIoymcut of tn, Fluid.

iGuinea Pigs Arc Fnttened by the Emf
ploymcnt of tn, Fluid.
This is the age Of electricity, SO that
one is not surprised to hear that an
electric diet has been discovered.
Naturally, you would conclude that
1t is designed to aid invalids of weak
digestion, but it is something of a shock
to learn that the latest scientific dis
covery has no nobler object than the
.fattening of pigs!
Certainly, there is an element of
novelty In the notion of eating electrici-
ty fattened pork. Besides, from pigs
we may yet rise to higher things.
Anyway, DIR. w. j. Herdman has
found out that the galvanic current pro-
notes the growth of tissue-that Is to
say, the increase of flesh. 1t had pre-
viously been ascertained that plants de-
velop more rapidly under the electric
stimulus and there was no obvious rea-
son why animals should not be equally
responsive to it. Hence the idea of
DR.. Herdman, which promises well,
though its application cannot as yet be
said to have passed beyond the expert
mental stage.
The doctor began his experiments
with guinea pigs, half dozen Of which
he put in each of two cages, taking care
that they should all be of exactly the
same age, SO as to make the conditions
of the trial as free from flaw as pos
sible. Around one of the cages he
strung several wires, through which
a current of electricity was passing
night and day, while nothing of the
kind was done with the other. Mean
while, for a>stated period. the animals
in both cages were fed with precisely
equal quantity Of proyender of the same
kind, SO that there should be no ad.
vantage in this respect on either side
AS result, 1t was found that the
guinea pigs that lived in an electric
environment gained In weight during
a measured time 10 per cent more thar
those in the nonelectric cage.
DIR. Herdman is confident that ordl
nary pigs, If subjected to similar treat
ment, would exhibit like results. H.
proposes to build suitably wired pens
and to furnish the growing swine Will
regular supplies of electricity, much II
the same way as was done with the
guinea pigs

down condition of these rented farms i
In the first place, there Is. very little
provision made for keeping stock.
There is usually one small pasture
fenced off for a few cows and the
horses necessary. for work on the farm.
The sheds that should shelter the COWS
in the winter are conspicuous by their
absence, and the horse barns are gen.
orally very poor. But the most serious
omission is hog pasture, which every
farm should have. A good hog pasture
would enable the tenant to raise hogs
at profit, which cannot be done in a
dry lot. He could feed his corn crop in
the fall to nice bunch of thrifty hogs
and realize more for it than If he had
sold it off the farm and at the same
time return to the soil in the form OF
manure what the soil would be robbed
of If the grain had been sold. Every
landowner should make provision fol
keeping stock enough on his farm OF
farms to consume all the grain that is
raised on them.
