— Bees need ample air io the hive. Re-
move dead bees as far back from the en-
trance as possible to insure free citeula-
tion.
—The cultivator should be put to work
while the weeds are small—so small that
they don’t make much show.
must be kept down if good crop results are
expected.
—The roots of alfalfa frequently grow 5
to 15 feet, enabling it to draw much of its
food from the subsoil. It thus enriches
the land for succeeding crops and opens it
ap to the action of sun and water.— Penna,
Farmer.
—The pigsty is nearly always (filled
with materials for absorbing manure, but
they are not cleaned as frequently as
should be the case. In winter, if the yard
contains absorhents, they become soaked
daring rains and are disagreeable locations
for pigs.
—Tomatoes usually end wben frost
comes, bat the knowing gardeners who de-
gire a late supply cover the vines at night
with rude tents made of
which are removed during the day, until
the weather hecomes severely cold. Others
hang the vines and green fruit in a cool
place, such as a cellar, where the fruit will
gradually ripen.
—An experiment made by a Michigan
grower of apples shows that if apples are
packed io kiln-dried, clean sand, and the
apples uot allowed to touch in the bins,
they may be put into bins and kept for
months, provided the bins are in a cool,
dry place and the apples not bruised. Suc-
cess has also heen obtained by packing in
well-dried corn and oats, especially io
keeping beets, turnips and potatoes.
—Only experienced persons are capable
of selecting varieties of fruit trees. Novices
should always seek advice. The soil, oli-
mate and demand of the market are also
to be considered. Varieties that way be
suitable for oue locality may be almost
worthless in another, and it is the lack of
knowledge in selecting varieties that causes
some failures. Selection is a very import.
ant master, for when a tree is planted and
the grower waits several years for his crop,
it is then too late to rectify mistakes ex-
cept at a great loss.
—Soours in calves is the great drawback
in raising them. It is due mostly to indi-
gestion, too much food being given, or food
not suitable. When a call is taken from
its dam when very youeg care should be
used in having the milk the temperature of
that which is fresh from the cow, and if
the milk is skimmed a teaspoonful of flax-
seed meal should be cooked as gruel and
added to every quart of milk allowed. A
teaspoonful of blood is considered excel
lent, it given in the food once a day. At
no time should the calf be exposed to cold
or dampness.
Weeds are only plants out of their
roper place, and, therefore, the most use:
al forms of vegetation may be so situated
as to be pests. Several of the showy gar-
den plants, when they escape from cultiva-
tion. became troublesome weeds. A rose
bush may be so much out of its place ina
cornfield as to deserve to be treated as a
weed. There ate, however, some kinds of
plants that should never be found growing
in the soil of any farm or garden. Such
plants are the weeds, strictly socalled, and
are the ones that usually need the most
attention during the season of crop grow:

— Trees that were grafted last spring
should be carefully ng over until late in

FOR AND ABOUT WOMEN.
Sanne,
Since the servant question is becomming
sach an important oue in the comfort and
bappiuese of bome life the following opin-
jon, from ope who has bad much experi-
ence and given the matter carefal consid-
eration, is worth reading and takiog heed
of:
It sounds a bit contradictory to say that
a woman's fondness for baving a finger in
every pie is at the root of the servant girl
trouble, bat it is a fact, nevertheless.
In trying 0 attend to her own business
a woman often overdoes it.
She attends too much.
When a man hires a clerk or a book-
eager he permits bim freedom to do the
work within certain lines, pretty much as
be pleases, in his own way. he accom-
plishes satisfactory results it is all that is
pecessary. Noone pags him continually,
or ugravaies him with petty and infinit-
esimal, balr-splitting details about the
way be does it. When he is in the midst
of making out a bill, or adding upa col-
amo of figures, the proprietor doesn't rush
in wish a few suggestions, or take a haod
just long eu0Ugh to knock the other fel-
low’s system silly.
On the contrary, be knows it wounld
simply put the clerk out.
Bat that is the helpfal device we nse to-
ward our servants.
We never let them plan anything out,
or do it in their own way, or bave a chance
to use apy mind aud judgment if they hap-
pen to have any.
There is no reason a servant shouldn’t
be treated as rationally as any other em-
ploye.
It is but right the mistress should re-
quire that certain work should be done by
a certain time, but after that, why not
leave them free to do it in their own way?
Every one who has ever tried it knows
that the most aggravating and nerve rasp-
jug thing in the world is to have someone
stand over you while yon work, with a
continual flow of suggestions. ‘‘Put a
pinch more spice in,” “Don’t use quite so
wueh sugar,” ‘‘Roll the crust a little
thinner.”
It is enough to drive one crazy,and there
is no wonder too many cooks spoil so much
good broth.
If the mistress would attend to ber busi-
ness a little more in the house, and let the
cock run hers a little more in the kitchen,
we shonldn’t have to get up #0 many morn-
ings and cook breakfast because a servant
lady bad taken heiself and ber outraged |
feelings to some other woman with other
‘ways "
Porch luncheons, or, to use a foreign
term, ‘‘al fresco,’’ are becoming each
year more popular.
There is something so attractive in be-
ing surrounded with trees, flowers and vines
that we wonder why apy person would be
willing to have meals served within the
four walls of a dining-room, during the
summer months.
It is in better form to have the table
decoration simple; the familiar red clover
or wild carrot are best. Put them in a
lass bowl and twine around the base a
ong spray of honeysuckle or clematis.
The menu is not usually elaborate. A
bow! or pitcher of iced punch is refreshing,
or, il preferred, a mint julep.
‘Avoid having large roast. No one feels
the loss of meat in hot weather. Choose
rather light dishes and dispense as much as
possible with ceremony.
Clam broth is a good selection to begin
with. Serve it in cups. Many put on the
top whipped cream.
is improves the appearance at the
sacrifice of the digestion.
To make clam broth take only the best
and freshest clame; cat them in small pieces
and cook until well done in slightly salted
water.
Should the claws be larie, allow twelve
to a quart of water; if small, one dozen to
a pint. If preferred, milk can be added.
Another appetizing dish is lamb sweet-
breads. Wash the sweetbreads in salted
water and parboil them for fifteen min-
utes; set aside until cool; trim carefully
and place them in a pav with sufficient
batter to keep them from scorching.
Shake the pan until they are cooked a
delicate brown; season with pepper and
salt, add a teaspoonful of chopped parsiey.
Tomato Sauce.—Take the contents of
a quart can of tomatoes, empty itintoa
saucepan and place over a moderate fire,
so that it will not burn; in a piece of
cheesecloth tie a sprig of sweet marjoram,
two hay leaves and a small piece of onion;
season with a little pepper and salt: hoil
about twenty minutes, then take it off of
the fire and strain through a sieve; return
to the fire and add a heaping tablespoonful
of butter and the same of flour, mixed
smooth.
Cook for ten minutes. It is then ready
to pour around the sweetbreads.
A fal of stirred in the
tomatoes just before taking them off of the
fire is an improvement, as it takes away
the acidity.
Stewed chicken served with Saratoga
chips isanother dish to be recommended.
Fried bot chicken, with Virginia ham,
is also excellent.
The chickens for fiyiog must be tender.
Clean and em as for broiling;
wipe them dry and dredge with flour.
t some pieces of butter in a hot pan,
lay the chickens in this and watch them
Ll
After the chickens are cooked
where they will keep hot, pour in the same
pan ball a pint of good cream, a listle salt
and r and some parsley, stir
for two or three minutes.
Lay the chickens in a dish and pour over
the hot cream.

READING THE TREE.
How the Forester Gets Its Life His-
tory In Detail.
The forester reads the history of a
tree in great detail, says the American
Magazine. After taking out a few
“borings” to the center of the tree at
different heights and counting the
rings on them he may spin you such a
yarn as this: .
“This tree is 150 years old (150 rings
at the base). During the first five
years it grew only seven inches (145
rings, seven inches from the base).
Evidently it then began to touch
crowns with other saplings, for it took
a spurt and put on fifteen inches a
year steadily till it was forty years
old (forty rings forty-four and one-half
feet above the ground). It was not
growing as fast as its neighbors, how-
ever, for at this point it began to be
overshadowed, and its growth declined
for the next ten years to as little as
four inches a year (forty-five rings at
forty-eight feet and fifty at fifty feet).
Just in time to save its life something
happened to its big neighbors, pre-
sumably a windstorm, and it resumed
a steady growth of about six inches a
year, having passed its fastest growing
time. Its growth in thickness doesn't
seem to have varied much, about an
inch every three years. But it grew
faster and faster in volume, of course,
as its height increased—a little over a
cubic foot a year in its prime of life, I
should judge. About thirty years ago
it reached maturity and stopped grow-
ing in height (thirty rings at the top
of the main stem), and now it Is ap-
proaching old age (the last rings are
pretty thin). Hold on a minute—here's
a false ring, twenty, forty, forty-six
years back; two very thin rings—
see—instead of one thick one; means
that something interrupted the growing
season, probably a late frost.”
The Drug Clerk.
In the old days the drug clerk spent
his spare moments in pounding leaves
and barks for the production of tinc-
tures and extracts that are now sup-
plied by wholesale manufacturers.
When he had nothing else to do he
made ointment and rolled pills. The
mortar and pestle were the universal
sign of the trade. But the diverse mod-
ern activities of the pharmacist more
than compensate for the earlier details
of toil. ‘It is still a time honored prac-
ticai jest to ask the apprentice to pow-
der ten pounds of camphor in a mor-
tar. After sweating at his task for an
hour or two he learns that camphor
won't powder, though it is readily sol-
uble in alcohol.—New York Tribune.
Aged Woman Killed By Auto.
Allentown, Pa., Aug. 18.—Mrs. Ma.
tilda Flory, aged 78 years, was struck
by an automobile and instantly killed.
The automobile is owned by Francis
Weiss, of Bethlehem, and at the time
of the accident was running less than
10 miles an hour. Mrs. Flory stepped
from the trolley track directly in front
of the automobile.

MONDAY MORNING.
is It a Bad Time to Approach a Man
on Business?
“Come in and see me Monday morn-
ing and we'll talk it over,” said Gass-
away, but Binks replied:
“Couldn't you make it Tuesday morn-
ing or Monday afternoon?’
80 it was arranged for Tuesday morn-
ing. Binks turned from the telephone
to me with a smile, saying:
“I'm glad he didn’t make it Monday
morning. We would never come to a
gonclusion then. You see,” he contin-
‘ged, noting my surprise at such a state-
ment, “Monday morning is the morning
after Sunday. Never approach a man
on business on Monda- morning.
“I can't explain why it is, but every
man goes to his office on Monday morn-
ing with a grouch. I suppose it's be-
cause he's been resting up all day Sun-
day and sort of hates to tear himself
away from it. Anyway, I know it is
80.
“Take your own case. I've known
you many years, and whenever you
meet me Monday morning I notice that
you are yawning, taciturn and un-
smiling. You had a good Sunday no
doubt. Either you rested to beat the
band or played golf or did something.
Anyway, that took your mind off your
business cares. Then you went to bed
rather early, all prepared to get up ear-
ly Monday. When the clock went off
you were miserable about rising, and
when you did get up you were ugly to
everybody. It's the same way with all
of us. We rest too hard Sundays. In-
stead of just relaxing a little we let
everything of the week go and fall all
to pieces in doing what we call recoup-
ing. It's the great American habit.
“That's the reason we have ‘blue
Mondays’ Some day, I suppose, we'll
learn how to rest up over Sunday with-
out completely disorganizing our work
for Monday. If we don't I think it
would be a good idea to cut Monday
out of the business week and begin on
Tuesday.”—New York World.
Disappointment Caused Suicide.
Philadelphia. Aug. 20.—Because his
parents refused to take him to the
geashore with other members of the
family, Henry Sacks, 16 years old
committed suicide by inhaling illu
minating gas. The youth a week age
pawned a camera in order to secure
money to pay his railroad fare and
went to Atlantic City to jiin his par
ents. He was reprimanded for the
manner in which he secured the
money, and he came back to this city.
After brooding all week he ended his
life.
