Save the Scraps of Wall Paper.

No scraps of wall paper should be
thrown away. They can be utilized in
a dozen different and pretty ways.
One of the charming things makable
from them is lamp shade. Cartridge
paper in old rose, oak, yellow, stone
brown, sage green and regimental
gray makes especially smart shades
of the plain, colonial or Empire pat
terms. Take a yarn and quarter OF
the paper and cut from it wide strip
on the bias. Fold it around the wire
Empire frame and paste up one seam
as invisibly as possible. Bind the top
and bottom OF the shade with a mar
row strip of smooth paper, paper bor-
der or ribbon. The binding may be
either darker or lighter in tone than
the paper of the shade itself. The re-
suits gotten by this simple means
are so good that many women now
buy or beg scraps of wall paper from
papering establishments. When car
fridge paper is used, it can be decor
ated in any one of a dozen different
ways-water colors, magazine pic
lures, old prints, marine views, pho
tographs, etc.-Good Housekeeping

Proper Way to Boil Water.

To boil water is an apparently sim
pie operation, and yet it is said that
many people do not know how to do
it. According to an authority the Sc.
cret consists in putting fresh water
into a kettle already warm and set
ting the water to boil quickly. When
the boiling point is reached the water
should be used at once for making
tea coffee or other drinks, and not
allowed to steam, simmer and evapor-
ate until the good water is in the at
mosphere and the lime, iron and dregs
only left in the kettle. Water boiled
in the manner described and favored
with a little lemon juice is often rec
commended to those suffering from
loss of appetite.

Where's the starch polish?" called
the new girl on Monday, after the
manner of new girls" who take it for
granted that all the special require
ments of my way of doin' things"
must be at hand when demanded.
This particular variety of starch pol
ish was not on hand on this occasion,
however. and the process of prepar-
ing it was watched with interest One
ounce of pure white wax was mixed
with two ounces of spermateci and a
large pinch of salt. When melted an l
thoroughly blended this was poured In
to cup to become cold, and 1t soon
formed hard white cake that will
not mould or sour.
A piece about the size of a grain of
corn is put into sufficient hot starch
for two or three shirts. Then, in iron
ing, after pressing we'll once, the
ironed surface is dampened with a
clean, soft, damp cloth and rubbed
with the iron until glossy. The iron
must be moderately hot-if too hot
the shirt bosom will become yellow
during the polishing; if too cool it
will take longer to give the right pol

The Manavi Hammock.

There has been for some time a note
worthy demand for the jipijapa, or
manavi (so-called panama) hat. CON-
paratively large shipments being made
by every large steamer leaving Ecua.
dor for the United States. American
merchants may therefore be interested
in learning something of the manavi
hammock. Like the jipijapa hat, this
article commends itself because of its
durability, artistic workmanship, COM
fort and general superiority. The raw
material is derived from the leaves
and shoots of palm which is found
in some Of the coast provinces Of Ecua-
dor; this plant, which attains height
Of eighteen to twenty-four feet, is
known as the "Mocora" and is very
thorny. At eight or ten years Of age
1t natures; its life is indefinite If the
shoots are properly cut. The use of
this material for hammocks has an un-
known antiquity, doubtless antedating
the Spanish conquest; the Inca Indians
everywhere weave curious articles out
Of the fibrous materials afforded by
nature; even the savages in the eastern
part Of Ecuador, who as yet have not
been brought in contact with civiliZa
ton, weave hammocks as fine as silk
out Of the 'Pita" palm. A good manavi
hammock should last ten years.

Fertilizers and Manure.

The management of the farm should
be with the view of maintaining its
fertility. The foundation of farming
is the riches in the soil, and any sys-
TEN of agriculture that increases the
wealth of the farmer without reduc-
ing the productive capacity of the Soil
will be the correct one. The average
crops of cereals, potatoes and grass
in this country are very low, yet the
American farmer has more opportuni-
ties for securing fertilizers for his
land than in any other country. In
our gas works there is saved a large
amount of sulphate of ammonia, nj
trate of soda is imported in great
ship loads, the ammoniates of the
packing houses amount to large
proportion, and the cottonseed meal
supply is almost alone sufficient for
our needs, and yet the materials men
toned are those for providing nitrogen
only. This country also has large
phosphate mines, and but for the fact
that the required potash must be i'm
ported there would be no lack of the
plant foods right at the doors of
American farmers for their use. In
the past the farmer has not assisted
himself in the employment of fertil-
izers as he should, which accounts for
the low crop averages.
There has been war between those
who favor manure and those who ad
vocate the use of fertilizers, the one
class claiming barnyard manure to
be complete" ration for plants,
while the other class contends that
it is absolutely necessary to bring
plant foods on the farm in or1er to
recompense the farmer for the loss
of fertility through the removal of the
products of the farm that are market
ed. The fact remains, however, that
this country has made but little prog
ress in the matter of increasing the
average yields, and the matter de-
serves consideration on the part Of
investigators. One error that has not
yet been overthrown is that of suppos-
ing barnyard manure to be complete
plant food" There is nothing on the
farm that varies so much in qaulity
as manure, for, while some manures
uldy Dc DIS uedTly COlHplClt do may pO
desired, yet the large majority of the
accumulated heaps on farms are not
at all complete. 1t is not altogether
in the management of the manure
that its value is retained, but in the
foods from which it is obtained AMI
the amount of absorbent material used
iE it's preservation. 1t may safely be
claimed that every year thousands of
tons of barnyard manure are spread
on land which is really not equal in
value to the labor required in the
work of applying it to the soil. Wheth-
er in the form of crude chemicals in
the fertilizer bags, or in the form of
bulky manure, the plant foods are
the same, and the farmer cannot real
ize therefrom more than exists in the
materials used.-Philadelph Record

Mulch for Small Gnrden.

AS early in spring as possible, or
better still in the fall, put the garden
plot in good condition by deep plow-
ing lengthwise and crosswise and fol-
low by narrowing. When planting
time comes lay off in rows two feet
apart, manure well with scrapings
from the barnyard, poultry house and
COW pens. Hill up the manure, max
ing sharp, high ridges which will in
sure good termination and quick
growth; plant in the usual way.
When the plants are up, stir the
ground once week or oftener with
hoe or plow. When everything is
growing well, and up few inches
from the ground, give thorough final
working with the plow and harrow,
leveling the ground all over. Apply
light covering of straw, and leaves
from the woods over the entire plot,
taking care not to cover the young
vegetables. In a few days they will
grow enough to allow another coat
put on as before. Keep adding more
as the plants grow above it, until
the ground is covered three or four
inches deep, when you can consider
your garden work done for the sea-
SON.
Vegetables will grow to perfection
in garden treated this way in spite
Of heat or droutn. The mulch hol Is
moisture and keeps the burning rays
Of the sun from the tender roots and
prevents damage from heavy beating
rains. There is nothing so cheap and
yet so valuable to the garden as a
deep covering of pine needles and
leaves. Potatoes should be on large,
high beds, and covered with three or
four inches of mulch at once. They
will come up through it as If it were
not there. With this treatment vege-
tables of all kinds will flourish and
grow, but weeds and grass have no
chance at all. In the fall rake the
straw in between the rows ani ridge
the earth over it. In the spring you
will find plenty of good fertilizer

hot bed, but there is q reason Tor its
being constructed SO as to be comfor-
table for the hens. A scratching shed
should be made light and roomy; It
should be made with a great deal OF
floor space, and that space should be
covered with litter in which an indus
trious hen delights to scratch. Sheaves
of oats will make a very good litte1
for this purpose. The hens will scratch
the straw about for the oats and gain
great deal of healthful exercise in
obtaining the same. Ripe millet hay
will also be found good litter for
the scratching shed, and it will be sur
prising how the hens will scratch for
the small seeds of millet. When OBJ
tanned in this way they will do no
harm, but great deal Of good.
The scratching shed may not only
be termed the dining room, but 1T
may be named the living room. Hens
are fed some good mess once day,
in the morning or the evening, and
what grain they get should be fed
through the scratching shed route.
The hens are kept busy obtaining 1t
because their appetites are sharp and
they wish a grain to appease it. The
more they scratch the better the ap-
petite and the better the food is assim-
ilatei. The better the assimilation
of the food the more healthy the hens
and the greater their aptitude to lay
eggs and become profitable.
We are of the opinion that scratch
ing sheds should be entirely inclosed
in some manner. The south side may
be made of combination for the best
results. Poultry netting should COM
pose the south side of the shed, AMI
during stormy weather large cur
tain OF muslin or some other goods
may be let down to keep out the
snow This will admit Of light, AMI
the room will be found airy. When
ever the sun shines there should be
some way of admitting it to the shed.
No roosting places should be provided
il this room for lazy hens to occupy.
Keep up the temptation to scratch and
we mean that it should be built in
whatever plan that will make them
comfortable. In some localities it
may be necessary to make the scratch
ing shed very warm, and the south
should be for the most part construct
ed of glass. Even then it must be
made roomy and airy so as to not i'm
pair the health of the hen.-Poultry

Best Hello CITY.

San Francisco seems to be the best
telephoned city in the world. With
population of 342, 1872. there are 81, ,324
telephones, or 62 per 100O In Europe,
Copenhagen is probably the best tele-
phoned city, with 1871 telephones to
it's 312,S59 of population, equal to 40
per 1000. In Copenhagen, too, the best
conditions for the pubnc exist, al
though the rates are relatively as high
as those in American cities. London
compares very unfavorably with these
figures. At the beginning of this year
there were A. iii telephones to popu-
lation of more than 100000, or pro-
portion of to every 1000 people. New
York, with population of 1850, ,OO9,
had 54,647 instruments, or 26 to 1000.

Scratching Sheds.

Scratching sheds were brought to
the notice of poultrymen some years
ago, and there are many poultry
houses that are not provided with this
convenience or necessity even at this
late date. There has been an errone-
ous idea about the scratching shed
that should be brought to view. A
scratching shed in Minnesota should
not be the same kind of shed as that
In use in Missouri or Kansas. Conii-
lions of temperature and climate
should govern the method of construc-
ton largely. Scratching sheds in a
very cold climate will have to be more
than a mere open shed. There is no
need of it being made as warm as the
roosting quarters. nor as warm as a

Farming Clay Land.

A clay farm of 100 or 120
ceres should first be divided
into fields of eight or ten acres, an l
fenced SO as to save as much farm
Ing land as possible. One field OF sod
should be plowed each year for corn,
putting On it all the manure made lur-
ing the winter, plowing the coarse un-
der, and putting the fine on top Of the
plowed ground before narrowing. The
greater part should be seeded to wheat
in the fall, by narrowing and drilling
as soon as the corn is in shock, an
using some fertilizer. From two to
four acres should be kept for oats in
the spring, the best of all feed for
poultry and horses. The following
year the entire field should be seeded
to wheat, putting at least 200 poun Is
of some good fertilizer to each acre,
sowing one peck of timothy per acre,
and resolving in the spring with tim
othy and one gallon of red clover per
acre. This field should be kept for
meadow two years, possibly longer.
This plan of farming should be con-
tinued in rotation from year to year.
From one-half to one acre of potatoes
should be raisel. There should be a
large truck-patcn of all kinds of vege-
tables for family use, with possibly
some to sell. A farm of this size
should have an orchard of three or
four acres, of apples, peaches, pears,
plums and cherries with all the small
er fruits in abundance for home use.
The stock that shoul1 be kept on this
size and kind of farm should be three
good work horses, three or four good
cows, several head of growing cattle,
about forty good brood ewes, several
heads of hogs, and poultry of all kin is.
Ewes are specially profitable on a
small farm, since they may raise
lambs for early market, quickly enrich
the land, and keep down briars and
shrubs. AS far as possible good shell
ter should be provided for all stock,
as protection saves feeding, time and
labor

Make a dibble of piece of fork
handle about one foot long snarpened
at one end Mark the beds in rows
both ways six inches apart. With
the sharp stick make a hole where
the marks cross each other and put in
the root two inches below the surface.
Hold it against the side of the hole
with the forefnger of the left hani
and crowd the stick into the ground,
pressing the dirt against the root. By
this method the planter can set roots
rapidly and the work is well done.
