Pictures i'm the Home.

When we enter a home. among the
first things TO attract our attention
are the pictures, and from them we
can read the taste-or lack Of it-of
the lady of the house, for they give
us the key note to her character. IL
we find gaudy chromos. and cheap
oil-paiutings made 10y lightning art

is lacking in that home. Pictures
should be selected always with an eye
20 the surroundings in which they will
be placed. II the house is very large
and handsome, and money OF 10 con.

by the best artists are preferable. Peo-

tasteful homes should choose water.

Meat Of pi.eased Animal..

Mr.. T. H. Terry. in the Practical
Farmer, makes most vigorous pro-
test against the doctrine that he finds
in one Of the agricultural papers.
that rhe meat and bones Of animals
that die of disease may be used as
food for hens and hogs. and very prop
erly says: 1T must turn the stomachs
Of thoughtful people against pork,
poultry and eggs Of the market In
this we thoroughly agree with him,
and we would favor a law 10 prevent
such use Of the diseased animals, or
Of any meat that had begun 20 de-
cay, as much as We would a law to
prevent IL from being sold for food
purposes. In fact, using il in this
way TO produce food products is no
better than 10 use tie meat itself, and
perhaps worse. because the meat
might warn consumers away by it's
appearance or its odor, but when they
are disguised in eggs or the flesh OF
other animals we may not receive
that warning. and ye. we cannot es-
cape the disease germs or bacteria
which are transmitted from one 70
the other, and possibly increased in
their poisonous properties instead Of
weakened. 1t is this which makes
the writer Of Poultry Points so much
opposed TO the feeding of raw meat
to fowl. If the hers are fed upon
beefsteak the eggs will be as whole
some as the meat was, ana if they
are fed upon rotten, sinking meat. we
want none of them.-Amer!can Cul-

Experience with a Hand Separator.


A writer in the Farmers Guide re-
lates his experience with the hand sep
arator. When he was setting his milk,
skimming and churnng the cream he
found by a two months record that he
made a pound OF butter from n little
over twenty-four pounds Of milk. For
the same length of time when using
the separator he made pound Of but
ter from eighteen pounds Of milk,
which was a gain OF about thirty per
cent. This increase was not kept up
through the summer. but he had aver
aged a gain Of twenty per cent. for
fifteen months in the amount Of butter
made from the same weight OF milk.
He also learned another thing from his
daily record of weight Of milk and
amount of butter made. He did not
feed any grain during the summer
while COWS were on grass last year.
and il required from twen'y-one 10
twenty-five pounds Of milk TO make
pound Of butter. but he began 10 feed
grain in October. and as he gradually
approached fun rations the amount OF
butter increased. until in January be
could make a pound Of butter from
us pounds Of milk. The churn test
from Jun, l to September 30 showed
40 pounds Of butter made 10 each 100
pounds Of milk. and from October j to
Januar- 81. 81 pounds gain Of four

Sport In shooting Muskrats.

Shooting muskrats is sport in
which the young people who live in
the country towns on Long Island
have INDUCED ever since the spring
weather set In. The muskrats have
been making their appearance in large
numbers lately and especially where
the ground is swampy and wet. At
Eastport a few days ago n party of
boys started out armed with rifles and
before many minutes had passed one
of them had killed twenty muskrats.

winters are not too cold. and where
the fowls are Lept in pens side by side
with adjacent yards outside. In such
a case il is often inconvenient TO get
into the yards unless one can go out
into them from the pens. With this
method OF swinging the sashes the ne
cessity for having a door in each pen,
as well as a window, is done away
with. In cold climates suci: a plan
can be used for spring, 1all and sum

is desirable on other accounts. as only

A NOW THEORY

The latest scientific explanation of
the phenomenon Of minerals or water

that the man manipulating the rod is
elf-hypnotized by fixing his attention
on it, thus enabling his conscious
perceptive power to assert itself and
reveal the presence of the object
sought.
