pass into europe, to cost France her
American colonies, to sever ours from
us and create the great Western re-
public; to rage over the Old World
when extinguished in the New; and,
of all the myriads engaged in the
vast contest, to leave the prize OF
the greatest fame with him who
struck the first blow"
AS to the esteem and affection in
which the name and character OF
Washington were held one cannot do
better than quote Lafayette, who
wrote from France as follows:
"Were you but such man as JUL
us Caesar. or the King of Prussia, l
should almost be sorry for you at
the end of the great. tragedy where
you are acting slpeh a part. But,
with my DEAR general, 1 rejoice at
the blessings of peace when our
noble ends have been secured. Re
member our Valley Forge times; and,
from a recollection of past dangers
and labors, we shall be still more
pleased at our present comfortable
situation. l cannot but envy the hap
piness of my grandchildren, when
they will be about celebrating ana
worshipping your name. To nave
one of their ancestors among your
soldiers, to know he had the good
fortune to be the friend of your heart
will be the eternal honor in which
tboy cbo11 Glory
The poet Shelley, aboard an Amer
lean ship, drinking to the health OF
Washington and the prosperity OF the
American commonwealth, remarked:
GAS a warrior and statesman he was
righteous in all he did, unlike all
who lived before or since; he never
used his power, but for the benent
of his fellow creatures"
The origin of Washington's birth
day as a holiday is stated as follows:
On February %, 1888, number OF
gentlemen met in New York tavern
to celebrate the great generals birth
day. They then agreed to assemble
in future on that day, celebrating II
with odes and toasts. Washington's
ascendancy shortly after to the Presl-
dency gave new zest to the AN
nual," so that in time it became
general, and finally grew into "le-
gal holiday" the people demanding II
for a custom.

Stiff in the Knee Joint.

The navy is not the only institu-
ton which has had trouble over an
on-the-k knee order, for kneeling as well
as standing orders have been fertile
of trouble in the House of Commons.
The late Sir Reginald Palgrave states
that the practice of ordering delin-
uuents on their knees was stopped by
the obdalracy of a Mr. Murray, in Feb
ruary. 1850. Being ordered to lmeel
for the purpose of receiving the cen
sure of the House for breach of priv
ilege. he refused to comply. His au-
dacity was voted a high contempt,
and he was sent to Newgate, where
he remained till set free by the pro-
rogation, four months afterward. But
the victory was his, for no one ac-
cording to Palgrave, was ever a1ter'
ward compelled to kneel at the Bar.
Oldfield, however, records the follow
ing among Later instances: An cleo
ton for the city of Westminster took
place in 1851, when Lord Trentham
was returned against Sir George
Vandeport. Serious outrages having
been committed by the mob, one OF
the ringleaders, Mr.. Crowle, an at
torney, was summoned before the
Commons. The delinquent was COM
manded to kneel and was duly repri-
manded by the Speaker. On rising ne
wiped his knees, and said he had
never been in so dirty house be-
fore.-Mall Mall Gazette.

PROFIT IN BERRIES.

Some of the small fruits that offer
inducements for growing them are en-
tirely neglected When the market is
well supplied with some kinds it may
be lacking in others. The currant
and gooseberry are examples. With
carloads of strawberries, blackberries
and raspberries reaching the market,
currants and gooseberries come in
small lots and sell almost on sight.
These fruits may require little more
care than some kinds, but it is the
labor that gives the price and the
grower should produce anything that
pays profit on labor

FOOD FOR STOCK.

The German experiments upon cook
ed and uncooked foods for stock do
not show any clear evidence in favor
of the former, and the process of
steaming and other modes of con-
verting dry materials into succulent
foods have never become popular
among practical farmers in England.
Some farmers are inclined to the be-
lief that too much value is placed up
ON succulent food, as compared with
dry food for stock for meat produc-
ton; for milk production, especially
where quantity rather than quality
is the object, sacculent food would
certainly have an advantage, but it is
doubtful whether one would produce
more butter-fat than the other.

COW AS A STANDARD.

Every farmer sometimes has a good
cow-and above the average-in his
herd, and he does not fail to notice
her superiority. When such is the
case the cow should be the standard
by which to gauge all the others. The
object should be to have no cows that
do not equal the best one. Sell off
the inferior ones as fast as calves
from the superior cow will replace
them. Use pure-bred sires, and do
not attempt to improve the herds by
buying elsewhere.

KILL CATERPILLAR EGGS.


If the weather is mild enough for
the work, scrape off the bark of the
apple trees. Scraping the trees gets
rid of insects and destroys slugs, and
freshens the trees. Use a tree
scraper.
A little sawdust on the outside of
fruit tree denotes the presence of a
borer. Borers usually attack young
trees. To kill the worm, inject a
solution of bisulphate of carbon into
the bark Use an oil can to inject
the stuff. Fill up the hole with putty,
Or with grating wax, and then, if it
Is large, cover it over with grating
wax
If it is good weather, prune your
trees in cold weather If the pruning
is done now it won't have to be done

Get rid OF the caterpillar eggs.
The end of the month is not too
early to cut gratis to be used in the
spring. Keep these gratis in damp
moss or peat in the cellar. Write the
names on them.

MAGGoTs ON TREES.

Sometimes maggots or lice injure
young trees at the roots, peach and
plum trees being more frequently at
tackled than some other kinds. Re-
move the earth, so as to expose as
much of the roots at possible and
saturate the earth at the roots with
soapsuds, scattering pound of kali
nit on the roots before returning the
earth to its place. The trees will not
be injured and all parasites will be
destroyed.

CONVENIENT ICE LITTER.

The ice carrier noticed in the "Ru-
raj New Yorker" looks to be easy
enough for a person even halfway
handy with hammer and saw, being
4 simple frame, braced from the up
per crossbar to each corner of the
cotton of the framework. Stats of
reasonable thickness are tackled
across the bottom of the frame to
support the ice. 1t seems particular
ly useful after the first few courses
are laid, as the cakes can eventually
be carried to the top of the house.
The Rural writer says:
The filling of an icehouse, even the
small one on the farm, requires a
great amount of heavy lifting when
done by hand. A simple and efficient
horse elevator has been devised and
put in operation in this place. Two
upright posts of the height of the
house and about three feet apart are
set in front of the doors and securely
fastened in place. Each has a groove
On the inner side within which the
elevator travels UP and down. The
rope attached to the frame of the
elevator passes over a pulley near
The top of the house, and thence
around another pulley near the
ground. A horse is hitched to this
and the device works much in the
same way as does hay fork. The
secret of the successful operation of
this elevator is in the mechanism of
the trips. They are little irons placed
in the side frame of. the elevator in
such way that they will automati-
cally, hold it in any place. A trip
rope is attached by which the trips
may be raised and the elevator al
lowed to descend when it is desired.
1t is always free to move upward,
but it can never fall unless the trips
are sprung by the trip rope. This
elevator can be made by anyone
handy with tools, and with a black
smith to make the trips and a few
iron braces necessary

EFFECTIVE INSECT POWDER.

Pyrethum is well spoken of as an
insect powder. 1t is cheap, said to be
poisonous only to insects, and very
effectuaE. At the experiment station
in Amherst they mix tablespoonful
of the insect powder in pailfui of
equal parts of water and buttermilk.
and sprinkle it on currant, potatoes
or other plants infected with bugs or
worms. The buttermilk makes the
powder stick to the plant, and in
about half an hour the insects curl,
drop to the ground and die. Should
it prove effectual for the rose bug on
grapevines, pyrethum will certainly be
a blessing. The plant is easily grown
in gardens.

SHAPE FOR THE GARDEN.

An oblong figure, as long again as
wide, is the most profitable shape for
a garden, as the rows are then equal
" long, and less time is taken up i'll
turning the horse. The size OF the
same should be in proportion to the
number of the family, bearing in mind
the fact that one-fourth of an acre,
we'll MANFRED and cultivated, will pro-
duce more and better vegetables than
a whole acre not so we'll attended to.
