Tn-nfHiTj : .-....-Bw.-'NriA... FARM NOTES. Cats ox the Farm. Cats ought tc have an honored place on the farm, tut too often they have no place at alL This la because they are kept at the house, fondled by the pet-loving child ren, and fed by the kind-hearted women until they become lazy and worthless. The farmer esteems caU less highly than dogs, but the former are sometimes of the greater value to him. Barn cats should rarely be allowed to come In the house, and never be fed there. All they need Is plenty of milk; compel them to get the rest of their living, and they will find it about the barn, granaries, cribs, sheds, and in the fields. A good mouser is worth ten cents per day about a granary.crib, or barn. Mice not only destroy grain, but make It filthy for stockjthey nibble sacks and implements and do much other mischief. A good cat will destroy large rats as well as the young ones. We have an old Maltese Tom, which gets his living by catching ground mice In the orchard and garden, and is therefore a valuable cat. At tne season, when barns granaries, and cribs ' are tilled, a cat is aouuiy useiui. uivo Tom and Tabby a fair trial, and you will always keep cats. Raise A Calf. A great many people who should raise a calf or two every year are prevented from doing so because they don't know how. Here is one way and an easy one: Give new milk warm from the cow for the first week, then begin to add skim milk a little at a time, heating it a little warmer than new milk aud add a table spoonful each of ground oats and corn meal to the mess. If the calf scours use wheat flour instead of corn meal for two or three fredinca. At the end of three weeks the new milk will be ' entirely replaced by the skim milk, and the grain ration gradually iucreased until a pint a day is reached. It is best to feed the calf three times a day, ' and at first it may be fed oftener, but at no time give more than four quarts of milk until the calf Is a month old. It is a good plan to have a broad bottomed trough fixed so it cannot be upset in which to pour the calf's food, and give it a lick of bran or meal in the dry state. Spread such food well over the bottom of the box, and mix some nice flue clover hay with it. If the calf scours give it scorched chopped wheat in its milk, and only a little at a ' time, and it will soon stop scouring, i Keep the young things clean; handle' and fondle them, treat them kindly and gently ana you will be pleased with the result. j IT Is Important to distinguish in plants the difference between what may be termed the vegetative and reproduc tive stages in plants, says Mr. Thomas Meeham. If a branch ou an unfruitful : tree be "ringed," or In some other way 1 injured, that branch is at once brought to the fruit-bearing or reproductive condition. So fur there is an antagon-1 ism between the vegetative and repro ductive stages. When the reproduc-! tlve stage is reached there is another i subdivision. The part to which nutri tion most freely flows produces chiefly female flowers, while the part to which j nutrition flows less freely yields chiefly ' male flowers. Any one can see this who examines a larch, a spruce or a pine. i Mant a man has broken his back and lost his heart on a poor farm which he has suffered to run down by bad management. He has spread bis labor and capital over 1U0 acres, when by confining himself to twenty-five or thirty he might have become happy and rich. The way to repair such an error is to begin with one field and get that into good condition, and let the rest He, and so go on through the farm. One rich field will then make it easy to enrich another or two; and while the beginning is slow, it is down hill work; and as the end is nearly reached pro gress is fast and e&iy. The fence corners are the pest-holes of the farm. From them spring nearly all the weed seeds and underslr able grasses which are scattered over the fields. Rail fences are expensive on account of the ground they occupy and the weeds they protect. If neces sary, the hoe should be brought into requisition to clean out the spaces along the fence. TrME for Budding. Pears on peat Stocks are usuelly budded In July; on quince in the first half of September. Plums are In the best shape for this operation from the latter part of July nntil the middle of August, and apples from the first to the middle of August; eherries on niazzard e toe Its about the first of August, and on mabale about a month later. Peaches are usually budded in the nurseries the same season the seeds are planted and about the first half of September. A Wash for Trees. It Is a mis take to suppose that ordinary white wash, so much used. Is the best tree wash. Soft soap reduced to a paint tike consistency with water, and to which has been added a strong solution of washing soda, is better for one. A wash made by dissolving one pound of tove polish in three gallons of water Is also considered superior to the lime wash. Bweet Potatoes. Dig as soon as the vines are touched by frost, being careful not to bruise the tubers. These to be kept should be dried for a day in the sun, nd then be packed in perfect ly dry sand, cut straw or leaves. Keep tn a dry place, and where there is about tJ of heat. Bean Salad. Wax beans make a lelicious salad. Choose young beans, remove the strings, break In inch-long pieces, and cook in salt and water. While still warm cover them with a Iressing of oil, vinegar, salt and pe p - per. Be sure and remember in mixing lalads the old saying: "A spendthrift tor oil, a miser for vinegar, a wise man tor salt and a mad man for mixing." Use at least twice as much oil aa vine jar. Those would-be millions. I tell May that the freckles. Which she thinks such disgrace, Are only where the sun and wind Have stopped to kiss her face: Bat, oh, how very luoky I'm not like sun and windl For how she'd look, if I had left Each time a mark behind.

ID I1BCU w w vj - The milk in this case must be strained before the flour and butter are added. Butter a baking dish and put in it a layer of fish, then some of the sauce, sprinkling fine bread crumbs over it. Kepeat until the fish and sause art houino tha tnn laver of bread crumbs. Bake in a brisk oven until the top is a nice brown. Jam Roll Pudding. Roll and rub very fine three ounces of fresh bee! nt MiT it with half a Dound of floui and two ounces of breadcrumbs, add a pinch of salt, and work it into a smooth ,ta with mid water. Roll it out to a quarter of an inch thick, and spread raspberry jam equally over the crnst, leaving only a narrow margin uncover ed. Wet the edges, and roll up lightly, lifting the roll as you proceed, that the Jam may not be all forced forward. Tie the pudding up securely in a floured cloth, and plunge into fast boiling water. Keep it boiling Tor two houis, Turn out, and sift sugar over before serving. Any jam may be used, and marmalade, mincemeat or thinly sliced apples make a variety. Crumpets. Beat two eggs verj well, put to them a quart of warm milk and water, and a large spoonful ol yeast; beat in as much fine flour as will make them rather thicker than a com mon butter pudding; then make the stove hot, or the Iron cover of a bain marie very hot, and nib It with a little butter wrapped in a clean linen cloth: pour a large spoonful of the batter on the iron, and let it run within a ring tc the size of a tea-saucer; turn them with the elastic blade of an old table-knife; and when you want to use them, toast them very quickly, but not too crispy, and butter them.

I Milk as a Summer Diet. A very important element of summer diet la milk, but it must be taken in modera tion and carefully. Drink it slowly in small mouthf uls, and if there be any ten dency to dyspepsia beat the milk a few moments to break the butter globules and render it easierof digestion. Skim med milk and fresh buttermilk are in finitely preferable to ice water as cool ing and refreshing summer drinks. Ice ! water dyspepsia is a complaint which is . very general, though its cause la but little understood. Salsify in ssalads. Cold salsify makes a pleasant salad when mixed with a French dressing, or any other simple dressing. It is also nice when combined in a salad with other cooked vegetables, like potatoes, carrots, beans ' aud cauliflower. Sometimes it is used , in croquettes, though it haa too deli ' cate a flavor for such a dish. Lima Beans. These beans should stand in cold water for at least an hour before they are cooked, and at the time of cooking two quarts of boiling water 1 should be allowed for each quart of beans. An hour's cooking will probab ly be sufficient. The beans should be seasoned with salt, pepper and butter, or the white or poulette sauce, given in ' one of the foregoing recipes, should be ' served with them. I One cup of graham and one cup of ' white flour, one tablespoonful of suar, ! one-half teaspoonful of salt, one table ' spoonful of melted butter, two eggs, two cups of milk, baked in hot iron ' gem-pans. Use a Dover egg-beater to stir the whole mass to a creamy light ness at the last moment. Rancid butter boiled In water with a portion of charcoal, say a tenth part, will be entirely divested of its rancid ity and may be used for cooking pur poses, although Us fine flavor will not be restored for the table. Amderst Pudding. One cup suet, one cup raisins, both chopped fine; one ' cup molasses, two cups sweet milk, one I teaspoonful cream of tartar, half tea ' spoonful soda, four and a half cups flour; boil three hours. Serve with hot sauce. Vinegar Candy. Take four cups of granulated sugar, one-half cup of vinegar, one-half cup water, a table spoonful of butter and a few drops of ammonia, the latter added the last thing. The above mixture should boil slowly Into a syrup, and the flavoring be added during the pulling. Biscuit for Dyspeptics. Graham flour, one pint; corn-meal, sifted, one half pint, three tablespoonfuls baking powder anl a little salt; thoroughly mix together while dry; add one-quarter of a cup molasses, then mix with sweet milk or water, or milk and water, auffl ciant to make tliU dough; bake at Just like him.

"Helena," responded the Senator proudly. "Helena? Helena?' queried the la dy; "pray, where Is Helena?" The Senator, boiling over with right eous indignation, answered the question, and with a gallant smi'e, said: "And may I inquire where you aw from?" "Certainly," she said pompously, "J am from Brooklyn.' ,Oh, yes, Brooklyn," echoed the Sen ator, beautifully. "Brooklyn is a fin town. 'Quite near Uoboken in JSe T-rsey isn't it?" Bow the Ameer Pnntahed am Alarmist. ' Borne strange storlas have been told j of the way in which Abdurrah- j man lords it over nis peopie. . u ago, we are told, tho Ameer was sitting In durbar discussing public affairs. Tho "Home" department had gone through their work. Orders had been Issued to releaso certain persona from the sorrows of existence, when the dur bar suddenly dashed into greater things, au(H egan to talk about the English and the Russians. A man who had lately been introduced at Court, and was not well acquainted with his sover eign's ways, remarked, "Lord of the earth, let people say what they like, but this bumble one has been scanning the political horizon with far-reaching eyes, and the Russians are coming." The lord of the earth smiled a sweet smile some of the old courtiers who knew that smile also smiled and, turning upon him with the "far-reaching eyes" said, "Bright jewel of our durbar, and sun of our understanding, art thou sure of this?" "The lord of the earth is omniscient, and knows everything," re plied he. "Well, to be sure, we do see things and know one or two things, but we are old now. Moreover, your tree obstructs our viewl However, thou art young; go thou, therefore, climb the ree, watch the cursed Muscovite's movements, and when he is very close upon us come and inform us. The tree is high, so that thou shalt be enabled to see a long way off." Forthwith the man was led to the tree, and made to climb to the topmost branches. To keep up his courage. If he grew weary of his post, a guard with bayonets fixed was told off to remain below. It is said the young man felt considerably elevated by his master's humor, and felt very exhilarated at first; but three day's contemplation of the beauties of nature, even from such a commanding position, is apt to tire one, and so he fell. They say he got hurt and died. No one dares to raise alarms in Cabu now. The Story of a Pebble. Sir Francis Doyle tells an Interesting story about a pebble, which I think you will like to hear. Mrs. Brooke, a re lation of his, lived In a house on the bauks of beautiful Loch Earn, in Perthshire. As pearls, more or less valuable, were often found there, Mrs. Brooke began collecting them, and the villagers' children used to take to her those which they picked up, receiving a shilling or two in exchauge. One day, a little girl, who had come from some considerable distance, called and offered her a pebble, but as Mrs. Brooke thought it useless, she refused to buy it. Presently her brother asked her to change her mind, for, he said, the lassie bad had "a very long walk, and was crying bitterly at having to go home empty-handed." So Mrs. Brooke kindly told him to take the stone, and give the bairn what she wanted for it A few weeks later, a friend, who had travelled much, and knew South America well, viewed the pebble with great interest, and at length remarked that if he bad been in Brazil and bad seen the stone there he would have felt sure that it was a diamond. The stone was at once sent to a skilled jeweller, and he reported that the traveller's opinion was rijitit, and very soon the Loch Earn pebble was set in one of Mrs. Brooke's dia mond rings. Unfortunately, no trace could be found of the little girl, and so she was not able to share the further reward that would have been bestowed upon her success. Ingenious French Swindlers. An amusing story was told recently of a couple of ingenious swindlers whose career was nipped in the bud by a mat ter-of-fact policeman, who must le painfully devoid of the sense of humor. One of this pair of rascals jumped into the Seine and pretended to be drowning; the other took a header after him and brought him to shore in safety. A sym pathetic crowd gathered around the 'would-be suicide, and moved by his piteous story, his savior emptied his Gripping pockets of their silver. The , crowd sighed and wept to see such goodness, and when the hat was sent round quite a nice little sum was gathered. Unfortunately for themselves the two men were followed by an official of the law, who found that it was a put-up-job," and ran them in. The trick is ingenious, but it has not the merit of novelty. Every one in the sporting world remembers how a similar "plant" was arranged by two famous swimmers the Johnson brothers one of whom fell off London bridge to be rescued by his lame brother, who chanced to be on a passenger steamer in the guise of a parson of the church of England. Their trick was done for a lark and an advertisement which they got and thoroughly deserved for their pains and pluck. When to Swear. If all men who are addicted to the vice of profanity would adopt Mr. Brown's rule, simple as it seems, and wear only when it is necessary to do so, they would flud it easy to rid themselves of a sinful and disgusting habit. "Your Mr. Brown is a queer kind of a preacher," said a Methodist layman to a Fresbyterian of the same standing. "Why," queried the Fresbyterian. "Bacause he swears when it Is necces sary, for he told me so himself." "It'g true, too; but there's nothing wrong in that." "There isn't? Well that'i strange doctrine for a christian. I'd like to know how you do it?" Simplest thing in the world. He swears when it is necessary; but my dear brother, it ii never necessary to swear, except on the witness-stand.

A woman writes to the Philadelphia Press from Long Branch : "One of the saddest sights in the .world next to real poverty or distress is the sight of a man who has acquired boundless wealth and lost his happiness aud his capacity to enjoy what money secures. Such cases are by no means rare. They are very common. I taw a man to-day whose income is believed to be about $1,000 a week, whose whole day was spoiled because a cabman over charged him $1 for a short ride. Of course the millionaire knew that he could not possibly spend his income, but, nevertheless, the idea of losing a dollar, or being defrauded out of it, of getting nothing in return for it, was almost agony to him. Many a man in making a great fortune completely loses the power of enjoying it. This is one of the world's compensations. The happiness of a sound sleep and a good digestion is often enjoyed by a man with an empty purse, while the millionaire epicure has neither painless digestion by day nor healthy rest by night."

Mygtery Solved and Fatrimony Won Over thirty-three years ago Washing ton Tucker, then a resident ot Colum bus, lost his wife, who left him two very young daughters. Soon after he mysteriously disappeared, and it was commonly believed that ha had been murdered. The girls grew up to womanhood, and were mar ried. Last fall a letter strangely came into the possession of Mr. P "V7. Arm strong, husband of one of the girls, which spoke of the disappearance of a man in Edgar County, Illinois, fully twenty-flve years ago. The latter fur ther said that the man had left a great deal of property. Mr. Armstrong en gaged a detective, who went to the town, and discovered that the man was the missing Washington Tucker, lie had come to that section, married, lost his second wife, by whom he bad Sve children. He then married again. About a year after this marriage he disappeared. A year later, in clear ing new grounds, the remains of a man were found, which, by some fragments of clothing, were identified is those of Washington Tucker. There were five heirs by the second marriage p?tao were In possession of the proper ty by inheritance. 8uit was brought, which resulted fa- rorably for the Columbus heirs, who trill receive their patrimony in Septem ber.
