"SloW and Soggy."

whom their friends excuse as "slow
but sure" with a doubtful emphasis
sometimes, it must be owned, on the

Cucumbers fer Pickles.

AS soon as the plants are up, apply
a mixture of two-thirds slaked lime
and one-third land-plaster, which will
destroy the small striped bug that
is pretty sure to appear. The striped
cucumber beetle does not attack the
paintings for cucumbers as much as
those for pickles.
After the main vines are three or
more feet long, pinch off the ends to
promote the growth of the laterals.
The latter bear a much larger proper
tion of pistillate or productive bios
SONS than the main vines, which prin-
cipally are staminate.
AS soon as there are cucumbers
large enough for pickles on the vines,
picking should begin. For this pur-
pose a sharp knife or pair of shears
is a good tool. Disturb the vine as
little as possible, until the very last
picking from them. Fruit should be
picked before it begins to ripen. They
are used in green state.
For table use and market they
should be gathered when full grown
but still green. For picking the vines
must be picked over at least every
other morning as long as they are
wanted for green cucumbers. Take off
every pickle that is IL inches and
over in length. One large cucumber
will exhaust the vine more than fifty
small ones.
Where small ones are picked off,
new sets will form. while the large
ones prove but silent robbers If
allowed to grow. No cucumber should
be allowed to ripen seed, for with the
ripening of seed the vines begin to die,
while if the cucumbers are kept picked
off, the vines continue in bearing a
long time.-American Epitomist

If you can find seed that was grown
in your own vicinity, it is an advantage
to do so.
Poor roads, unhoused carriages and
farming tools are some of the things
causing an unnecessary tax.
For hay, the pea will probably give
the best results; for grain, the soy
bean. Use the COW pea on thin land;
the bean on rich land
Chickens with scabby legs should
be put in pail of warm, soapy water
and their legs thoroughly scrubbed
and then rubbed well with equal parts
of lard and kerosene.
The average farmer in the older sec
tions cannot afford to specialize in
potato growing. Some years there
may be big money in it, but the aver
age returns do not compare favorably
with those from the dairy and some
other lines of work.
A convenient material for tying
vegetables is the strands from burlap
mating or bran sacks. These are cut
into convenient squares and unraveled
and tied in large punches until needed.
Eastwood mating is also convenient
for this purpose, and for budding and
grating.
If dog is kept tied too long he Is
likely to run away as soon as released.
He will be more comfortable if the
strap is fastened to a long rope and
the rope to pully on a wire strung
between two trees. Then the dog
will have liberty of motion, and run
back and forth with ease.

Saved by a Log.

William Smathers was young lad
of 10 and was particularly fond of out
door life. He was the son of very
rich parents and was satisfied in ev-
cry wish and whim of his. One wish
of his was to join a party of boys al
camp called Camp Windsor, which
consisted of number of boys of his
own age. 9Iis parents would not at
first listen to his joining the camp,
but by his coaxing and e1Jreating they
decided to let him go. He was very
fond of rowing and would often ven
ture far out in the ocean.
So the next week found our hero at
Camp Windsor and a fine place it GER
tainly was. He used to go out row
ing every day. He got so that he
could not keep out of his little row
boat. One day the weather was very
stormy, but VIII went out in his row
boat just the same. He went out far
ther than he expected to, and sudden
ly the waves began to toss against the
boat and he was in terror. OF a sud
den the rowboat gave lurch and over
board went Will. When he reached
the surface of the water he could sec
no signs of the boat. He was just
sinking when he espied thick log OF
wood short distance away. He had
only enough strength to reach and
grasp the log. After short time
buffeting the waves the log reached
shore and William was all right, ex-
cept for the ducking he got, but the
lesson he learned by it was prudence
is the better part of valor."-Francis

Capt. C. E. Hemp of the police force

station this morning. The snake was
perched on rock in full view. Capt.
Kemp fired at the serpent with his
revolver. The snake fell from the
rock and rolled down the hillside to

five men climbed the rocks, but ow.

are required more for maintaining the
heat of the fowls body and it would
not be profitable on this account to
purchase expensive grains. 1t is pre-
ferable to feed a number of grains

one or two kinds, as poultry like

Food for Turkeys.

Many people are so desirous OF
choice poultry as to finish them for
their own table by feeding a portion
of chestnuts and celery seed each
day to the growing stock. The tur-
keys sent from Rhode Island to the
President have always been finished
with the addition of these very savory
foods. The chestnut fed turkey is
much talked of throughout the land.
1t is an expensive food. The feeding
of chestnuts and celery adds consider
ably to the cost of their production.
In New York city alone several thou
SANDS are sold during Thanksgiving
and Christmas times. To finish them
in this way the chestnuts are chopped
up into small pieces and mixed with
celery seed, slightly damped and
coated with ground meal and ground
oats, and fed to them in troughs. Meat
does not seem to be valuable food
in the fattening Of turkeys, nor do
they seem to grow nearly so well un-
der artificial methods as when care

Successful Production of Eggs.

In summer on free range the flock
is able to secure sufficient exercise
and a right proportion of the differ
ent kinds of food. 1t is necessary
therefore to initiate these conditions
is much as possible during the winter
months.
The lime of the oyster shell is a
necessity in egg production. Some
idea of the need of the shell supply
can be obtained from the fact that an
ordinary flock of $50 hens will produce
annually in egg shell, 1877 pounds of
clear chalk. The habit of egg eating
is the result of a craving for shell
forming material and unless it be-
comes chronic the feeding Of oyster
shell will at once remedy the evil.
When the birds are on range they
are usually able to secure for them
selves in worms, bugs and grubs the
necessary supply of animal food. Un-

limited and 1t becomes necessary then

cry, and SO trouble began. All this
time Sarah was in California. Her
father, Chief Winnemucca Second, and
her mother were in Nevada, and she
often heard good news from them, but
one spring when she was seventeen
years old two Indians came bringing
the news from her father that he was
children to come to him, but especially
Sarah.
Starting on their ponies they began
the journey, riding beside the wagon
where the grandmother rode. 1t took
twenty-five days to reach Carson City,
but here their father and mother met
them, and next day all went to see
Gov. Nye, whom Sarah told in English
what her father, the chief, wanted to
say.
Gov. Nye was very jolly and good,
and when he knew how things really
were he told the white settlers not to
interfere with the Indians, and sent
soldiers from the fort to drive the
rough men away; so Gov. Nye and
Chief Winnemucca became good
friends, as they never could have been
but for little Toc-me-tone and her
bright interpretations.
For the next year Sarah talked
both Piute and English, and settled
many little troubles. She was called
friend both by the Indians and sol
diers, and her father and she thought
often of old Chief Winnemucca's
words and kept peace with their white
brothers.
