KF.KP PURE-BREED FOWLS.—Aside
from the greater pleasure which it
affords, it pays better to keep and breed
pure-bred fowls than to breed and feed
a lot of mongrels, which latter many
do for fear of the expense of buying a
lew pure-bred fowls to start with. In
determining which breed of fowls to
get, make up your mind at the start
that no one breed can or does possess
all the desirable qualities you are in
search of. If you wish a breed for lay
ing, get Leghorns or Hamburgers; il
you wish a breed lor weight, get some
of the Brabamß or Cochiueg and if you
wish a breed principally for ornament,
get the Polish : but give up the idea ot
getting a grand combination of all
these qualities in one breed. Make up
your mind what you wish, in the way
of fowls and then select such breeds as
will answer those requirements best.
Give them goou, comfortable quarters,
supply them liberally with lood anu
water, giving them requisite care and
attention and you will never have
cause to regret your iuvestment in
pure-bred lowis. When your neigh
bors see what line birds you have,they
w ill naturally want some of them, or
a setting of the eggs, and thus will a
demanu be created which will amply
repay your lirsioutlay of cash and sub
sequent trouble aud expense, if you
had bred nothing but mongrels, there
would have been little or no demand,
and then merely a market prices* At
good trio ol pure-bied lowls, of almost
any kind, can uowjte bought at fair
figures Horn reliable breeders, In most
sections ol the country.
DOMESTICATING QUAILS.— That the
common wild quail of the prairies cau
be domesticated is established without
doubt. The writer of this hasseeu sev
eral flocks of them, aud accounts of
successful domestication has been pub
lished In papers m various parts of the
country during the past two or three
years. Aw riter in a St. Louis paper
says: "i have frequently seen, from
time to time in the past forty years,
quails raised about farmers' houses,
and as taine as pet chickens with which
they associated. Were it not that the
wild quails, in the larm fields, entice
the tame ones away, there is no more
difficulty in raising these birds and in
keeping them from straying than there
is iu raising bantam chit kens. Although
never attempting 10 raise quails from
the eggs, i have, myself, during the
several hard winters, sufficiently do
mesticated the wild ones by feeding
them, as to have them come at call for
the iood 1 gave them daily, in order to
save them iroiu perishing, and lur
breeding them the lollow ing season.
True, they became shy again w hen 1
quit ministering to their wants. But
tue ordinary domesticated fowls do
this, and when they are reared in tue
fields and woods, aw ay 7 from the haunts
ol mail." i have seen them as wild as
quails ever oeeome.
KEEPING MILK. —Milk will absorb
bad odors from the air quicker than
almost any other liquid,therelore great
care should be taken that it Is not ex
posed to any condition where it will
be likely to be damaged In the way.
In manufacturing cream into butler,
great care is necessary as to the quali
ty ct salt used, as great loss may be
entailed by this alone. The salt is a
very small item in itself, nevertheless
it has cost many dollars in the course
of a year through the damage done by
the use of an interior article. Always
use the best known brands and keep a
close watch upon them at that. The
use ot firkins, pails or tubs made of
any kind of wood that imparts an un
pleasant flavor must be avoided, as,
after packing,butter is very susceptible
In coming in contact with any flavors
of this kind.
DRAINING PRAIRIE JJOIL. —In untilled
prairie soil the'corn extends it roots
until it strikes the water, a short dis
tance under the surface ot the ground.
When soli is tilled at a depth oi thirty
six inches, the roots of the growing
stalk extend by numerous fibres to the
new water level, thus drawing to the
plant the food lound in the much grea
ter aepth of earth. Tne ground In the
unfilled land cakes and bakes into a
hard mass in dry weather, while that
in the tilled earth is loose and porous.
Capillary attraction in the latter in
stance supplies moisture to the upper
strata of earih.
LAMBS should be separated from the
dams and given a good pasture by
themselves. If early lambs are desired
lor the spring market a Southdown
cross is preferable for quality, though
in size the Cotswolds are much larger
than the Southdown s.
WHEN one has warm apartments in
which to keep his flock, we think it an
excellent plan to shear sheep several
weeks before turning them out to pas
ture. Give it a trial.
YOUNG cows should not be taught
to eat at milking lime, ag it will not
always be found convenient to supply
food, and they will be restless witnout
it when accustomed to it.
HORSES hate solitude, and are made
sayage by being kept alone.
Why the Glow-worms Glow —The
French scientist Jousset de Lteilesme
claims to have discovered that the glow
of the glow-worm is a spontaneous ac
tion, and that the little insect has the
same object in glowing that some Pa
risian ladies have in displaying certain
ribbon,, streamers, which are very ap
propriately called "suivez moi." It has
long been known that the lemale glow
worm alone understands the art of
glowing exceedingly well, though the
male and even, the larva possess some
oi this phosphorescence. Some earlier
scientists expressed their belief that
the glowing apparatus in the lemale
served the purpose of favoring the
fructification of the * eggs, in so far as
the male was attracted from the dis
tance by the phosphorescent light of
the female. But it was left to our pro
saic age to discover that the light was
produced by an essentially spontaneous
action. The above named French na
turalist made an incision in the head
ot the female glow-worm (evidently
supposing that in this animal, also, the
orgau of will is in the head), and the
phosphorescent light at once ceased,
but it returned—and this is the .most
important fact of the experiment—
every time that the action oi the brain
or of the central nervous organ was
irritated by artificial means, such as
electricity.
As oils and fats exert a very destruc
tive action upon inula rubber, the
following recommendations by Mr.
Thomas Bolas to those desirous of secur

of vulcanized caoutchouc may prove
usetul: 1. The use of a high quality
ot rubber. 2. Thorough curing. 8. The
absence of free suiphur in the finished

lead. 5. The incorporation ola trace
of glycerine with the materials. 6.

who is sharp-eared and sharp-eyed,
said, "Well, auntie, why don't you

A FEW nights ago the girls in an In

for the championship, the one that
kicked the highest to bo awarded the
belt. One of them tried to kick with
both feet at once, and lie sat down oil
her spinal column so italieally that she
was seriously injured. A college girl
shouldn't kick at the celling with both
feet at once unless there is a young
man standing near to catch her in case
of a fall — and then it would be advis
able to lirst dress like a female trapeze
performer.
A YOUNG mln ster and his wife visit

one of the venerable elders speaking
with the young minister's wite, said:
"Your husband preached frotn the

"Indeed," replied the lady, "I hope
It was not the same sermon, too."
"Ob, no," said the elder, "his father

You may have it lor $2, as 1 have to

A FARMER complains that it cost him
twenty-flve dollars to raise a pig
weighing one bundled and fortv
pounds. That was pretty steep. A
man raised a pig weighing one hun
dred and forty pounds, In a street ear,
the other day, and It only cost him live
dollars and cos.s. The pig was -nick
ing and swearing in the presence of
ladies, and the man raised him with
his boot off the car into the street. The
magistrate said he raised him a little
too emphatically. The pig landed on

RELIEF FOR BURNING FEET.—TO re
lieve burning feet first discard tight
boots. Take one pint of bran and one
ounce ol bicarbonate of soda, put in a
foot-bath, add one gallon of hot water;
when cool enough soak your feet in
this mixture lor tliftoen minutes. The
relief is instantaneous. Tins must be
repeated every night for a week, or
perhaps more. Then bran and bicar
bonate should bo made fresh after a
week's use. Bicarbonate of soda can
bo bought for a small price per pound
from wholesale druggists. The burn
ing sensation is produced by the pores
of the skin being elosed, so that the
ieet do not perspire.
llow TO CLEAN THK FLOOR. —If you
have a painted floor keep soap and soap
suds ofl of it, for it spoils the bright
ness of the paint, makes it soft, and
then it peals oil, leaving the floor look
ing worse than if it had not been
vainted. Just take clean,
hot water, put a teaspoonful of spirits
01 ammonia into a three-gallon pail of
water, stir It, and with a clean, long
handle mop,rub the floor all over,then
wipe it off with clean water. It takes
a little while to get the gray out of the
boards, but it will come out after a
time, and you will iind it far easir to
keep your floor white and nice than it
was when cleaused with soap suds.

Fire Engines Making Tea.
As the firemen belonging to Engine
Company No. 20 were returning from
a firs in Warren street last evening,
they saw smoke issuing from the grat
ing over the sidewalk in front of 201
Fulton street, occupied by the Wells
Tea Company. An alarm was sounded
and the engine had steam up again in
a few minutes. Five more engines
came. At first it looked as though it
would bo a very easy matter to extin
guish the fire, but the smoke was so
dense that entering the place to direct
tho streams was out of the question.
Poles were therefore attached to the
nozzles, which were then pushed in
through the basement windows. It
took two hours of steady, hard work to
thoroughly extinguish the fire. The
damage was estimated at trom $20,000 to
$25,000, and the amount of tea made by
the streams of water playing for so
loug on the blazlug tea-chests was es
timated at a million gallons.

Tbe limit or Smoker*.
A year or two ago there died In Rot
terdam a certain Mynheer Van Klaes,
to whom Is certainly due the title of
"The King of Smokers." To gain this
distinction In the great nation of puff
ers must require almost superhuman
powers and a love for the Indian weed
ttiat passes understanding. But Van
Klaes was ever superior to the emer
gency. It took no effort on his part to
gain the smoky crown and wear it
while he lived. He did not even die
young, as we might have anticipated
from his immoderate use of the weed,
but both enjoyed life and smoking
until he had passed his eightj-drst
birthday.
During the long vista of smoky years
in which he reveled In his pipe, Van
Klaes consumed four tons 01 tobacco,
well wetted down by 690,000 quarts of
ale which he drank, not to mention
Schiedam schnapps und other national
beverages.
In Mynheer's house was a sumptu
ous apartment* entirely devoted to
pipes and tobacco. Every variety of
the fragrant weed grown on the earth's
surface was to be fouud there, in the
plug, cut up or shredded. Cigars, oi*
garottes and cigarillas were grouped
about in tasteful display. But, above
all, Mynheer's pipes first riveted the
visitor's eye. In this choice collection
every branch or variety of the pipe
family had Its representative; one
could trace the whole evolution of the
race, from the olumsy howl and thick
stem of Sir Walter Raleigh's clay to
the lovely-carved meerschaum from
Treblsond.
In this temple of tobacco the veteran
would sit puffing prodigious volumes
of smokes from his well-dlled pipe,
only pausing now and then to wet his
thirsty lips with a drink of ale. It is
said that his last reflecting breath was
borne from his lifeless body on & oloud
of fragrant smoke.
A few hours before his death, Van
Klaes called for a notary to make his
will. Puffing vigorously, and after
taking a puff at his Schiedam, Myi heer
gave precise directions for the perior
mance of his obsequies. In the flrst
place, his ooflln was to be thoroughly
llued with the tops, bottoms and sides
of boxes that had contained his favor
ite cigars; then a bladder of the finest
dry-cut Dutch golden leaf was to be
placed at his feet. Most Important of
all, his favorite pipe must be laid by
his side. A firm conviction that his
soul was not going to dwell In these
latitudes where Are is always sure to be
close at hand caused Mynheer to direct
his executor to place a box of matches
by his side, and with great foresight
he also desired that a flint and steel
should be added, as by some unforeseen
occurences the matches might dampen
before they would be wanted.
Having thus attended to bis personal
wants in the next world, Van Klaes
desired that the smokers in the neigh
borhood should be invited t® his funeral,
each one to be presented with ten
pounds of tobacco and two pipes
stamped with the name and arms of
Van Kiaes, together with the date of
the donor's demise. These guests were
to be admonished to keep their pipes
lighted during service, and to scatter
ashes on the coffin ai it was being con
signed to mother earth.
The poor of the vicinity, who ob
served these instructions faithfully,
wore to be presented on the anniver
sary of Mynheer's death with ten
pounds of tobacco and a firkin of ale
apiece. After these items were arrang
ed to his liking. Mynheer smoked his
last breath .constant to the last,and cer
tainly deserving to be immortalized
as the "greatest smuker since the
flood."
