drawn the illustration from a section
of fence which separated the lawn
from an orchard The length of rustic
fence on either side of the gate was
but ten feet, and beyond that consisted
of well-kept hedge of California pri-

Makes Money by Cleaning Jewelry.

In London there Is a woman who
has made herself famous and invalua-
BILE among the wives Of wealthy peo-
gle by taking care Of their jewelry.
Once week in the height of the sea-
son she makes a round of the jewel
boxes, and carries all her cleaning ap-
kiiances with her. When she gets to
wor, she fastens about her waist a
big apron of chamois skin, and then
opens half a dozen different bottles
and boxes of cleaning fluids and
pastes.
With a little instrument she first
tests the settings, and then dips the
ring or pin repeatedly in little eau
de Cologne. While she works she
uses powerful magnifying glass,
and for stone that has an accumula.
tion of dust or grease or soap on its
under side, as often happens with
rings, she dips it alternately in soap
Suds and eau de Cologne, and occa.
sionally uses very fine. soft camel's
hair brush to reach in delicately be.
tween the prongs Of the setting. When
the stone is thoroughly clean it is bur-
icI in jar Of fine sawdust to dry.
Emeralds and other green stones
she cleans by soaking wads of absor-
bent cotton in pure alcohol and bury

bent into the proper shape by black
smith, and inserted in the end of the
pole as shown. They surround the
pole, so that even in the dusk one can
pull down hay without having to see
that his hooks are turned in the right
direction. Five or six may be used
instead OF the four shown. The lower
end turns into the pole, and staples
and stout wire hold the upper part
firmly in place. The tips should be
moderately sharp. With such pole
hay can be pulled continuously from
front of deep hay mows.-New York

Proper Swine Feeding.

Swine feeding should be Just cs
clean and wholesomely intelligent as
that of any other farm animal. The
quality of the food must indeed be
considered. Do not dump great guam
titles of refuse in the pen, and then
II the animals clean it all up rest con-
tent with the idea that they have made
good pork off Of food that cost you
nothing. Sometimes the pigs will eat
a great amount to find very little
nourishment. 1 have seen such slops
turned into a pen where the pigs
quickly deyoured it all eagerly, but
when they had finished I calculated
they had about half enough to eat, al
though they We're stuffed fun. There
was little or no nourishment In the
food. Now the pigs do need good
deal in quantity, but there must be
some quality also. If we feed them
on the husks we must add grain or
milk or other good food in fair pro-
portion to give them the nourishment
they require. We cannot expect to
make good pork or bacon out Of leaves
and the barnyard rakings. If we
could pork would so a good deal low
er than it is to-day, and farmers would
be quickly doubling their profits. Yet
little intelligent feeding will enable
us to dispose of slops and other cheap
foods to advantage. 1t is all in bal.
ancing the ration so we do not cheat
ourselves by trying to cheat the swine.

Spraying Swarms to Help in Hiving.


In hiving swarms it often happens
that the bees are persistent in taking
wing, when they are dumped in front
of their new hive, instead of crawling
into it. 1 have had few swarms go
back and cluster on the same limb af-
ter they had been carried to the hive
two or three times. 1 recently tried a
little spraying on few swarms to
overcome this difficulty and with very
good results. While the bees are yet
hanging on the tree take q small spray
pump or syringe and wet the cluster
with one or two quarts Of cold water.
Then take your swarm catcher, run
1t W under the cluster, get them into
1t and they will cling together while
you carry them to the hive. When
dumped il front Of it they will not
readily take wing again, but will run
into it Swarrl5 that have been hived q
few hours and seem restless, or cluster
mostly On the outside of their hive,
can also be made more comfortable by
giving them little spraying. Bees
need a great quantity Of water during
summer, and the beekeeper can sup
ply their needs in few minutes where
1t would require hours for the bees to
gather it themselves.-F. G.. Herman,

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES


The cleaning of cows by using the
brush and currycomb on them, as well
as giving them scrubbing and rims
ing with a sprayer may appear as a
waste of labor to those who have
never tried the plan, but If cows were
so treated the result would be more
milk and butter, as the cows would be
more comfortable. 1t is more impor-
tant to brush cows than horses, as the
dirt from cows easily finds its way
into the milk.

A Remedy For Scours.

A new remedy for scours in calves
has been discovered, and tests made
at the experiment stations verify the
claims made in favor of the remedy.
1t is to give the calf teaspoonful of
dry blood at each meal, care being
taken to stir the blood in the milk to
prevent its settling to the bottom of
the pail. The effect is almost imme-
diate, only two or three feelings max
ing complete cures after all other rem
edies failed. This remedy is one that
costs almost nothing and Is harmless.

Spanish and Maltese Lace.

Spanish lace, in the black and

incrustations and flouncings, and is
peculiarly applicable to the silky sur

guipure it is also effective, the con-

ROYAL ITALIAN MARINE BAND.
Two Successful Concerts Mt the Ma
tfonaI Theatre Yesterday.

There are any number of good brass
hands that get to Washington during fhe
course of a season, and yesterday brouSsn-
new one Gianninrs Royal Marine BaHd
of Italy. This collection of brasses and
reeds is. II anything. more deserving OF
patronage than most organizations OF It's
kind. and even If the audiences that az
tended the two concerts at the Nation Il
Theatre yesterday afternoon and eveni ls
did not entirely fill the seating capacity
of the house, any deficiency in size was
fully made up for in enthusiasm and ap-
preciation. Every number of both after
noon and evening programmes was en-
cored and it is doubtful if better pleased
audiences ever left the RapIey playhouse
after two hours of band music.
The Royal Marine is a good sized band,
about the same as the standard organiza-
tions of its type in this country but it
DISPLAYS none of the cosmopolitan char
acteristics OF the average band. The
leader. Signor G. Minoliti conducts with
authority and distinction. There are no
friIls about his work, and although he
disports a few medals. If merely 10 prove
their possession, he does not rely upon
any peculiarities of manner IN conducting
to win attention. Throughout the entire
concert there was no attempt at anything
