The largest loaves of bread baked
in the world are those of France and
Italy The pipe bread of Italy is
baken in loaves two feet or three feet
long, while in France the loaves are
made in the shape of very long rolls
four feet or five feet in length, and
in many cases even six feet. The
bread of Paris is distributed almost
exclusively by women, who go to the
various bakchouses at $50 a. m. and

Attractive Farms.

If farms are not, too large there
will be fewer neglected fields, bad
fences and weeds and the land will
be better plowed and narrowed and
cleaned in after culture, timely har-
vested and well secured, the profits
being large proportionally. 1t is only
where farming is conducted on q
moderate scale, generally, that uni
versal neatness, taste and finish
throw around the whole scene sort
of rural enchantment which attracts
and impresses every beholder and
such condition is most easily ac-
counted for, as the whole is under
the farmers eye, within his means
and managed chiefly, if not exclu-
sively, with his own hands.-The

ATTENTION TO THE GLADIoLUs.

The gladiolus is a flower that does
well if given e little attention. The
best effects are obtained by setting
in clusters or groups, instead of in
rows. The bulbs may be set in April
and at intervals during May so as to
secure succession. There is a great
variety of colors. They come true to
name from the bulbs, but not from
seeds. Those who have taste for
experimenting will find it interesting to
save the seed and raise new kinds.
Bulb dealers now offer flowers that are
white, pink, lilac, crimson, blue and
variegated, also giants and dwarfs.-

FERTILIZERS FOR FRUITS.

The time to fertilize the small fruits
IS before they are set. This applies
most forcibly TO the strawberry. The
ground should be made rich with an
abundance of available plant food. If
horse manure is used it should be
balanced by an addition of potash and
phosphorus. The strawberry responds
very quickly to an excess of nitrogen,
the result being large amount of
useless foliage and few berries. rhe
cone fruits are more conservative, but
all of them respond generously to the
proper use of manure, though they re.
sent its abuse.-Nationa Fruit Grower

Oririn of "Spankinu."

Spanking did not suggest chas-
tisement originally. 1t was unknown
to Johnson in this sense; to him a
"spanker" means "person who takes
long steps with agility" Rapid mo-
ton seems to be the root idea of the
word spank which is not merely
act, as slap and "smack" are. The
low German "spakkern," or "spenk-
ern," to run and spring about quickly,
is close to the original meaning

TO HAVE PEAS ALI SUMMER.

When the sweet peas come into
bloom, cut their flowers off as soon as
they begin 10 fade. This, says the
Outing Magazine, prevents them from
forming seed, and the plants. in their
efforts to perpetuate their kind, will
straightway produce more flowers, and
keep on doing this as long as interfered
with. In this manner flowers are Sc
cured throughout the entire season.
But, if seed is allowed to form, you
will have comparatively few flowers
during the latter part of summer.
