Women and Poultry.

There Is no field open to women to-
day that is less crowded than the
poultry field none that offers as good
returns for ones labor; none that
affords so much freedom when taken
as a vocation, and none that makes
one so nearly Independent OF others.
Some Of our best planned poultry
farms, as we'll as our best-paying ones,
are the outgrowth Of woman's skill
and ingenuity In planning, and her
financial ability In conducting the en-
terprise. Most women show quail
flcation for neatness about poultry of
which men are occasionally void, and
as cleanliness Is an important factor
she often outStrips our lords or crea-
ton" in results obtained. The care
Of poultry is productive of good health
to women engaged therein, giving
them sufficient exercise in the open
air, and just enough care and respon-
sibility to make their work interest
ing and to make them feel their I'm
portance. The field for women Is
almost unlimited. and it pays her bet
ter profits than she can reasonably ex
pect from most other business ven
tures.-Commercial Poultry.

DestroNing Wnter Hyacint tn.

Spraying is the methed followed at
the present time by the government
in destroying the water hyacinth,
which has proved serious impedi-
ment to navigation on many of the
Southern rivers of this country. A
great number Of suggestions have
been tried, and the fine spraying pro
cess has been found to be the most
effectual and economical. Two gov
eminent boats are engaged in the
work. Each is equipped with tanks
for the boiling of mixture of white
arsenic. sal soda and water. This is
sprayed on the plants. and as the lat
ter are about 90 per cent water there
is very little residue after they wilt
down under the action Of the poison
Gus solution. That the solution kills
the plants absolutely has been proved
IN every case where the conditions
we're such as to prevent the introduc-
ton OF new plants within the area

1t is claimed that at the present rate
of use the known supply OF nitrate Of
soda will be exhausted in less than
fifty years, while as a matter of fact
the consumption is increasing steadily
and rapidly. 1t is therefore safe to
say that before twenty-five years have
passed the supply will be low, unless
new fields are discovered. and that the
price will be high. Over a million and
half tons were used last year This

Ants Destroy Scale Insects.

Prof. Harlan Of California has dis
covered that the ordinary black ant
will remove the scale from fruit trees
without tnjuring the tree or leaves in
the least. He says their work is more
complete than that accomplished by
spraying or by any Of the imported
Insects. The ants are captured by
placing a plate of sugar near an ant
hill, and when covered with ants the
plate is put in the forks OF the infect
ed tree. The ants leave the sugar and
go to work on the scale. AS soon as
they all leave the sugar the plate is
placed at the foot of the tree, and as
the ants come down after having
cleaned the tree of scale, they again
assemble on the sugar and are thus
easily removed to another tree.

MEANING OF THE GREEN BOUGH.
1t Is Placed on New Houses That Bad
Spirits May Roost in It.

The custom of placing a green bough
on the roof OF newly built house is
not confined to Germany but was adopt
ed by the French Canadians, who
brought it with them from Brittany.
The custom originated from the SUI
perstition prevalent centuries ago that
every tree is inhabited by a spirit. Con
sequently it was believed that every
time a tree was felled another spirit
was dispossessed, and this was supposed
to cause some bitterness on his part
against society.
Rather than risk having these home
less and disgruntled spirits vent their
i'll feeling upon the houses under con-
struction or upon the builders, says Van
Norden's Magazine, a branch was plant
ed on the highest part of the house for
their occupancy. They were then sup
posed to be Modified, and if they re-
manned so until the roof was put on
any evil design contemplated would
prove harmless, for the spell would be
broken.

A Butter Fraud.

An ingenious fraud in the butter
line was brought to light recently in
England. In that country the amount
of moisture in butter is limited by
law to 16 per cent. Australian and
New Zealand buffers. on the other
hand, usually contain only per cent
of water Taking advantage of this
fact. several firms imported large
quantities Of these colonial buffers,
to which s per cent of water was then
added, thus bringing them down to
the British standard AS the added
water naturally cost nothing and the
product was sold at the current price,
a substantial profit was made.

Weight and Feed.

When one comes to figure on a
difference in weight for the same age
and feed OF 200 to 400 pounds, and
a difference in price Of several cents.
he can see as plainly as he can see
anything that there is more money in
improved stock. Suppose a 2year-old
scrub steer weighs 900 pounds and
sells for cents a pound, while a
2year-old pure bred weighs 1900
and sells for Ga cents, there will be
$50 for one and SIS for the other
Is there any man in his right senses
who can think it will not pay to keep
well-bred stock when he compares
these figures? They are not imag
mary at all, but represent the quota
lions in the market reports during the
last few months. The real question
then IS, how to get better cattle.
Bulls are cheap Just now, and IN fact
have been selling lower than COWS and
heifers-Denver Field and Farm.

Cultivate the Orchard.

The young orchard should be cult
waited, but not with grain or grass
crops. Corn, potatoes. beans or other
vegetables, well cultivated. are ideal
for a young orchard. The ground
should be stirred every two or three
weeks until the middle of August. In
going through the orchard with the
harrow, care should be taken not to
injure. bruise or bark" the trees. To
avoid this, the horses ought to be
muzzled and the outside portions OF
traces and whiff1etrees padded
In going through some young or
chards early in the season for the pur-
pose Of demonstrating pruning, Prof.
Surface found many cases OF trees
which had been seriously damaged
through being grazed by whiffletrees,
or struck or bitten by the horses. In
going through the orchard, rub off all
unnecessary sprouts.-Rural World.

BRINGING IN THE GOLD.
How the Precious Metal Is Collected,
Guarded and Transported in Alaska,

-
''Six tons and a half of yellow gold,
So, 100000 worth of virgin metal, the
largest single shipment ever brought out
from Alaska. was unloaded from the
steamship Jefferson Of the Alaska Steam
ship company couple of weeks ago,

and about 100000 by express, coming
from Fairbanks Circle, Dawson, and 9TH
er rich camps of the interior. The gold
was accompanied by several wealthy
mine operators with thousands in their
clothes, who have come TO attend the
Seattle fair.
Receiving less consideration appar-
emily than the trunks and suitcases of
the passengers the sacks of gold were
put ashore at pier 2 by the sling load,
only a small number watching the rich
cargo discharging, and many of them
not realizing that the dirty leather mail
pounches were filed with the precious
metal.
''In dust and bricks the treasure was
shipped from the various camps along
the Tanana and Yukon on the steam.

Yukon fleet. The spring cleanup IN cen

started long before the river was free OF
ice, and the dumps were relieved of a
rich burden this spring before the first
boat was able to feel its way against the
ice toward Lake lie Barge. On the We
torian a heavy armed guard kept watch
night and day to prevent any possibility
of robbery. At White Horse the. gold
was shipped by rail to Skagway, thence
to be taken by the jefferson and rushed
to Seattle.
"After singing 100 heavy sacks of gold
on the dock the consignment was taken
to the postofllce by a dozen mail wagons
which were waiting on the dock. There
were some extra men from the office to
guard the treasure, but the weight of the

hardly lift, made robbery almost an i'm

Buttermilk is a nutritious and
wholesome food, or drink, and it is

There is good sale for it in all towns
and cities OF any size. The quality of
buttermilk. like all other foods, is de
