Years ago four New Zealand princes
visited England. A friendly English
man entertained them at lunch. The
four princes ate fourteen pounds of
roast beef, and promised to tattoo the
face of their host for his kindness. The
after proceedings were equally felic-
itous until the master of the house
produced case of stuffed lizards.
With shrieks and yells the warriors
rushed from the house like deer.
leaped the wall Of the garden and those
of the adjoining ones. A drawing
room window was open. SErieking in
fear and Indignation, they made for
this, and at a bound were through it.
There sat an elderly lady knitting
stockings. She was frightened nearly
out of her wits by the invasion. The
terrified princes had never before seen
anything like that which had alarmed
them. The lizards simply represented
devils to them, and they were anxious
not to remain in such company.

PREVENTING BLOAT.

Great care should be observed in
turning cattle on clover in the spring:
While there is always more or less
danger from bloat in pasturing cattle,
particularly young stock, on clover
the danger is greater i'll the case of
mich cows that have been fed in the
barn on dry grain all winter.
They should be allowed to run on
pasture only a short time each day
at first and never early in the morning,
when the dew is on and when the
animal is hungry. 1t is always safer to-
turn cattle onto clover immediately
after good feed of grain. If clover
is to be pastured the cattle should have
access to other fields of grass, such as
timothy, bluegrass and succotash.
When cows are attacked by bloas
they should have immediate attention.
or the malady may prove fatal. They
can often be relieved by the use of the
trocar, the use of which every farmer
should be familiar with if he pastures
cattle on clover any season Of the
year.-FarmerS' Guide

HAY CAREFULLY CURED.

Hay that has been dried too little is
likely to become hot in the NOW, in

black or musty. On the other hand

Some good hay makers test wisp Of
hay by twisting it hard in the hands,,

PORCH BOXES.

Porch boxes are no longer stationary,
but are made of light materials, such
as tin or zinc case or deep pan, set
in mating frame with bamboo
handles. The bottom is perforated
and the tin lining protects the covering

ing the baskets are crossed on the ends,
in imitation Of the cross pieces placed
on the shoulders of Chinese coolies.
Another style of porch box, made
from light pine wood, painted dull
green, with a scroll design in gold, has
square back and end pieces, but the
front is formed of two pieces, which
come together i'll V shape, thus Civ

receptacle is a tall basket made from
Cuban moss, which looks for all t1e
world like green sponge. 1t is adj
mirable for holding moisture and COM
bines well with nearly all color schemes
employed in porches. Hanging baskets
also come in this Cuban moss, and, if
filled with ferns, look like great fern
balls.

Hornet Stings For Drunkenness.

The jail at Whiting is an old box
building that is seldom used. On July
4, however, Il young man imbibed too
freely Of some tonic that not only
toned him up, bat made him unduly
fractions, and the city marshal was
compelled to gather him in and place
him in this little used jail.
Just after they left him the most
horrible cries Of pain and shouts for
help were heard issuing from the
wooden box, but it was supposed that
these were only the rawlings of a drunk
en- man, who desired to attract atten-
ton. Some time later it was discov-
cred that a nest Of hornets had been
disturbed by the prisoners entrance
and Immediately commenced to punish
him for disturbance of their peace, as
well as drunkenness. The treatment
sobered him, and the police judge
deemed further penance unnecessary.

EATING FEATHERS.

Fowls eat feathers for a similar rea-
son to that which impeis cows or
horses to eat bones or such things.
This unnatural appetite is due to the
want of proper nutrition, either FROM
indigestion or from an insufficient sup
ply of proper food. Feathers contain
a large proportion Of sulphur and ni-
trogen, and unless these are supplied in
the food the natural instinct of the
animal, by which the required nutrE
ment is selected, impels it to eat featlI
ers to supply its needs. Some chopped
meat, broken bones, chopped cabbage,
rape or mustard seed and turnips con-
tain the necessary nutriment for the
growth of the plumage, and with a
regular supply of these, in addition to
the usual grains, there will be no in
ducement to the fowls to eat feathefsF

John Forster. Forster had a very de-

was always most correct in every
thing he did. 1t was therefore sur

entertaining several persons at dinner,
to see the scrupulous Henry make err
ror after error. He upset a plate Of
soup, and Forster uttered a cry Of
alarm. He forgot to serve the sauce
for the fish, and his master said, "Why,
Henryw Altogether he made an ex-
cellent dinner seem slovenly and poor
repast. When at the end he had set
the coffee and walnuts on the table,

resemble a rose. To attempt to de-
scribe the combs in detail would de-
mand a full description of each breed,
but it is important, when procuring a
breed to be sure that the comb is cor

working out pictures and scenes OF

approached.
The first and greatest advance in
horticulture has been in showing from
the first day of the exposition splendid
fruit Of last years crop, which il has
been possible to show here by reason
of the great improvement in cold stor-
age processes, which has come about
in very short time. The practical
value of this exhibit can scarcely be
computed since it has brought TO the
attention of numberless people the fact
that apples even of a class not ordi-
narily known as long keeping, may be
preserved from six to twelve months,
coming out of storage in the same con-
dition in which they went into it.
At no other exhibition was it ever
attempted. so far as | know, to take a
large area and install its decorative
features with exhibits. At Chicago the
exhibits were placed in beds and var
iOus places on the grounds. but plants
which had been bought by the land
scaping department were so inter
spersed that it was impossible to tell
how the exhibits were used. In this
exposition 80 acres were placed at the
disposal of the chief of these depart
ments, who secured as exhibits every
tree. shrub. plant or flower used for
decorative or other purposes.

country is largely the growth of the
last five years. and the varied forms
in which the cereals are shown are of
good deal of interest.
The two great bakeries in operation
in the agricultural building, one by a
French firm and one by an English
firm, turn out products which are dis
tinctIy characteristic of these countries
and have proven as attractive and in
teresting to visitors as any other sin
gle thing in the exposition. These
bakeries supply good share of the
bread used by the majority of the best
restaurants on the exposition grounds
The block set aside for the exhibit
of pure foods presents an illustration
of a great many of the forms of adul-
terated foods which are placed on the
market. This is done for the most
part without any use of the names
or labels of those things which are
shown. but are rather understood only
to make clear the way in which adul-
terants are introduced into foods and
the way in which to detect them.
The really artistic way in which
many of the states have installed their
eXhlDltS or butter is almost entirely
new in so far as this method having
been used at any other exposition is
concerned. The effect of this artistic
installation without any doubt is to
stop and eventually interest thousands
of people who would otherwise give
only a passing glance at dairy pro-
ducts if installed without any orna-
mentatiOn.
While cereal decorations have been
used to some extent for many years,
in installing exhibits of agricultural
products. yet the artistic side of this
sort of installation has been carried
so far in advance here of anything
ever done before that it is worthy of
distinct consideration. Particularly
the use of the grains and grasses with
out any artificial coloring matter in
