A Few Hints

Miss Elizabeth Thane Peck, 2229 Chan
ming Way, Berkeley
If you wish the raisins to stay up
in your cake mix them with the butter
and sugar instead of putting in last, as
is usually done. Try this. 1t never
fails.
If you wish to remove the burn from
ca Ike use a crater. This is more sat
isfactory than using knife. as 1t does
not tear the most delicate cake.
If you wish to clean mating use a
little vinegar and water.

Don't Mix Grit In Food.

%. G. Dow, poultry expert Of Maine,
says on the subject of food:
zone Of the most common of the va
rious wise sayings of some poultry
teachers is that the first feed 10 the
newly hatched chicks should be grit in
the form of fine sand or some similar
substance; but this advice is always
qualified by the caution not to mix
the grit with the food, as to do 50
means sickness and loss by bowel
trouble. If grit cannot be safely mixed
with the food and fed, even in small
quantities, why feed 1t at all? We feed
the hens grit by keeping suppy
where they can help themselves. At
the same time 1t works no injury to
the mature fowls IL the grit Is mixed
with the mash, provided 1t Is not used
IN excess; but since 1t is not possible
to tell what the hen needs to regulate
digestion it is wise to let her help her
self. The gizzard of the chick Is free
from sand or GRIT, and should remain
free until old enough to begin to grind
It's own food. That is usually at the
age of ten days. Before that they
should be fed on food which can be
digested without the aid Of grit

BICYCLES and Airships.

One of the most striking facts
about flying is the ease and quickness
with which the art seems to be master
ed under proper conditions. For ex-
ample, Lieutenant Lahm has been a
pupil only three weeks, yet he made
flight Of 45 minutes, which only a
little while ago would have been a
record. Half an hour, says Wilbur
Wright, is long enough to get the
knack Of the machine, but it Is to be
noticed that he does not let pupils
quite so green as that shift for them
selves. The first stages seem not to
be much more difficult or alarming
than the mastery OF the high bicycle
Of 20 years ago, which to the novice
looked as high as house. In fact, the
well taught acronaut seems to lose
rather less cuticle during his appren-
ticeship than the old-time bicyclist.-

Arsenate AS lnsecticide.

Many gardeners and fruitmen advise
the use Of paris green in connection
with Bordeaux for trees, potatoes, etc
After using paris green and also arse
nate of lead in conjunction with Bor-
deaux some have found that it was
very difficult to get just the right
amount of paris green, as a little too
much will kill the foliage and only a
slight amount less will fail to kill the
bugs. With arsenate Of lead one does
not seem to damage the foliage, how
ever much Is used, and it sticks bet
ter to the leaves.
Both of these polsons a-e excellent
insecticides, each possessing certain
advantages. Paris green is cheaper, as
far as poisoning qualities are concern
ed, and is also more rapid in action
than the arsenate of lead, and hence
Is preferable where hordes of insects
are inflicting great daily losses. Ex-
perts generally advise the use of paris
green wherever immediate results are
desired and when Bordeaux mixture is
used with this poison there is a good
chance of its remaining on the foliage
for little while at least.
On the other hand, arsenate of lead
though slowed in action and more cost
ly, is very adhesive and is specially
useful wherever it is desired to protect
the foliage from leaf feeders during
considerable time, and particularly
where there is no pressing need of i'm
mediate results. Furthermore, ar5en-
ate OF lead can be used in almost IN
limited quantities without injury to the
foliage, something which Is net true
of paris green. Some advocates of
arsenate of lead advise it's use in
very large quantities where immed. ate
results mast be obtained, md the
wisdom OF following this course must
be determined largely by local condi-
tions since the cost Is considerably
greater
Some growers Of potatoes have ex.
perienced difficulty in killing potato
beetles with arsenate of lead applied
with certain horse spravers. This
trouble Is due to the fact that certain
machines make small amount of
water go great way, and, as con-
sequence, unless the poison is very con-
centrated form there will not he
a sufficient quantity on the foliage. It
is simply a question of adinstne tn
conditions whether one or the other
is employed. Both have their advo-
Gates and both are ex"eadnolv useful
when properly applied. .-Indianaco olls

PASSING OF OLD CRUISER
The Brooklyn, Effective WarshIp Of
1898, on Way to Junk Heap.

A trifle over eleven years ago the
cruiser Brooklyn, as the flagship Of
Admiral Schley, in the battle of San
tiago led the van in the pursuit of the
flying fleet OF Admiral Cervera, and it
was shot from her guns which did the
greatest damage to the Spanish navy.
Eleven years ago the Brooklyn was
the pride Of the American navy, and
an up.todate model of her type of
battleship. Today she Is lying partial
ly dismantled and will probably never
see active service again. Her hull is
perfectly sound, her engines in per-
feet condition, and in every way the
vessel Is as good as she was when
she showed her power in Cuban
waters.
The navy department has ruled,
however, that she is out of date, and
she will be allowed to go into decay,
while more modern and more expen-
sive vessel will take her place in the
line of the Atlantic squardon of the
United States navy. Without consid
ering the sentimental and historic in
terest that attaches to the Brooklyn,
it appears to the lay mind as a seri-
GUS mistake to allow so formidable a
fighting craft to go to the junk heap.

Silo Construction.

A Canadian feeder of Large expert
ence, has this to say on silo construc.
ton in one of OR Canadian exchanges:
Do not on any consideration build
square or oblong silo. The walls of
such a silo are not strong enough to
stand the pressure caused by TIE great
weight OF the silage; and the amount
Of silage lost in the corners will
amount, in few years, to consider
able value. The best shape is circu-
lar. A silo should be more than twice
as high as it is wide. Do not build a
silo too large in diameter as the
amount of sllage spoiled from day to
day will more than gay the interest on
the cost of an extra smaller one The
main qualities Of sllo are that the
walls shall be strong enough to with
stand the pressure and 1t shall be air
tight. To get this, the first step is to
built good solid foundation, COM
menced below the frost line.
Perhaps the simplest and easiest
style of silo to be built is the stave
silo 1t should be made from two inch
narrow plank properly beveled, and
held together by strcng iron bands.

when fitted together they will form a
