FARM NOTES.
—Sheep respond quickly to kindoess.
—Breed the best ewes to the hest rams.
—Clover pasture is best for the young
lambs.
—Salphur fomes will disiofeot hen
houses.
—Cement gutters are better than wood-
en ovnes,
—@Give the calves the sunniest, warmess
corner in the barn.
~The new ram should be as good if not
better than the one sold.
—The stables should be lime-washed to
keep them sweet and clean.
—When fattening sheep in the pens be
punctual with she feeding hour.
—When a breed is dropped for a larger
one, the rations must be enlarged.
—Each time you change breed you have
to learn a lot of things you never knew be-
fore.
.~With plenty of milk as a starter,youug
pigs will soon take slop made of mill
feed.
—Take advautage of rainy days and
mend some of the harness. It is not safe
to allow the harness to get weak.
— all stables should be on the south and
east side of the barn buildings so the warm
sun can penetrate to every corner.
—The best milking machine in the
world consists of a pair of strong bands,
each armed with five supple digits.
—1In Germany 12} per cent. of all the
land oultival is planted to toes.
This is for human food, stock feeding and
alcohol making.
—Do net keep cows in a dark, sunless
ace. Have the stalls where the sun will
shine in, batten all cracks and make the
stable as warm as possible.
—Cobwebs and hay-seed should be kept
brushed from the walls and ceilings, and
the floors should be scrubbed occasionally.
Lye can be used to clear the floors.
—1f one has profitable cows, it won't
pay to allow them to get out of condition
by economizing on feed; and if they are
nos all profitable, now is the time to do
some effective culling and thus eave feed
for the paying aniwals. ~
.- "There is no vocation calling for greater
ekill thao tbat of farming. The real farm-
er ia not he who handles the plow and im-
plements, but the ove who thoroughly
onderstands the characteristios of stock,
the nature of the plants best adapted to
his soil, and who is willing to derive in-
"formation at all times.
—Practical experience in farming is of
great advantage, for nothing so impresses
the farmer with knowledge as observation
and experience on his farm; but theory
should not be ignored. Theory leads to
pew discoveries, the testing of breeds,
plants and flowers, and increases the knowl:
edge derived from practice.
—QOne of the remedies for low prices is to
endeavor to make each acre of land double
itself in production. As many as 60 bush-
els of wheat have heen grown on one acre,
as an experiment, yet some farmers who
secure 20 bushels per acre are satisfied.
There is always ‘‘room at the top" in farm-
ing, as in every other occupation.
—Nut trees, as a rule, have long tap
roots, and it has been handed down for years
that to cut the thin tap roots when trans-
planting them mennt death to the tree; but
experience shows differently. If the long
tap root is cut many laterals are sent out,
and thus a fine strong roo: system is es-
tablished, which will make a good tree.
—Wherever olover is grown lime gives
excellent results on the land, not only on
account of its chemical action ou the soil,
but also because it enters very largely into
the composition of pianta and is frequently
deficient in some soils. Saiphate of lime
(land plaster) on heavy soils isa s ial
fertilizer for clover, and may be applied in
the spring of the second year.
—The dewberry is progagated by tips,the
same as the blackeap ry; and, with
the creeping propensities of its canes, the
grower will have nodificulty in increasing
his stock of plants very rapidly. If the
patural rate of increase, however, is not
sufficiently rapid the method of propaga:
tion from cuttings of the canes when ina
proper state of ripeness will satisfy the
most exacting propagator. It is said that
some varieties may be propagated very
rapidly from root cuttings.
-—~When overheated, the hog quickly
encoumbs. The man or horse, when heat-
ed, roon has the surface of his hody cover-
ed with perspiration, and the evaporation
of this at once begina to reduce his tem-
perature. Nature has made no such pro-
vision for the relief of the hog when heated
by exposure to the sun or by excessive ex-
ercise. This is reason enough why it
should have an abundant and convenient
water supply and a bathing or cooling
place in eammer. Crowding in winter may
also cause overheating.
—The foraging 8 will answer for
the merino, hut the heavy breeds of sheep
do not thrive well in large numbers. Only
the hess of pastures, the flocks divided and
a mess of grain at night will force them.
“Trae, it requires more iabor and care, bat
it pays, and, as the matter of sheep raising
is one of profit, the labor will always be
paid for before the estimate of profit can be
made. If more money can be made on one
good sheep than from three inferior ones it
a waste of time and pasture to keep the
patives. The greatest profit is derived
tures on the farm can be given up to them
with profit.
—While some of the beef breeds are
able of producing individuals thas n
great weight, yet at the fat stock shows
and fairs the largest animal not win,
After the prizes are awarded butchers
come in, aod every prize-winnerin each
is killed and cut This is the

moulds of cranberry and the green of olives,
with dishes of blanched celery, will com-

Of coms: a genuine Thanksgiving din-
ner roust have a course of roast turkey as
its principal feature, but the old-fashioned
way of adding to this innumerable kinds of
vegetables and pies bas become a thing of
the past. The meal should be flavored all
the way through with the idea of the day,
but it need not he aYeLpOWSHIElY heavy.

Coffee, toasted crackers; Brie cheese.
California grapes are in season so late
that a few red and white ones can easily be
found to make the firsts course ey
pretty. Cat the grapefruit in halves and
take out the core, loosening the palp all
around the sides. Cat the grapes in halves,
lengthwise, and remove the seeds; pat
them all aronud the edge of the grapelrunit
in alternate colors. Or, nse Malaga grapes
alone in she same way, or merely seed
them and pile them up in the hollow centre
with a little sugar and sherry.
A pew way of preparing this froit conrse
is to fill the centre with a small heap of
scraped maple sogar, which gives an unus-
ual and delicious flavor; still another way
is to drop a brandied cherry with a little
sugar into each hollow.
'or the soup, cat up two heads of celery,
add the leaves, and stew until it is pulpy
with barley water enough to cover it. Then
add salt, pepper and a slice of onion
minced fine. Hall an hour before dinner
beat a quars of rich milk, mix with the
celery, and simmer five minutes; strain;
thicken slightly with a level tablespoonfal
of butter melted with as much flour; cook
until smooth in the soup, and strain again
before sending to the table.
To wake this soup still richer half cream
aud half milk can be used; or, the yolks of
two eggs may be lightly beaten and the
soup poured over them just before the sec-
ond straining; in thie case no other thick-
ening will be needed, but the eggs wuss
not be allowed to boil in the soup; they
will cook by ite heat as it is.
To make the little oyster pies prepare a
rich, light orust the day before Thanks-
giving, and ges about eight fine large oys-
ters for each person. Just before dinner-
time fill she small baking-dishes with the
oyeters washed and drained, and wet them
with their owe “ice, strained, brought to
a boil and skip 1, and then mixed with
as much rich cream; thicken this with a
ful of butter, melted, with as
much flour, and strain over the oysters;
each dish should be only balf full of juice,
as the oysters will shrink in the oven and
thiu the sauce. Season with salt, pepper,
and bits of butter; put on the crust, and
bake until it lightly browns. In se:ving
put each dish on a separate plate and add
a bit of parsley on tup of each little pie.
It is well for the housekeeper of to-day
to remember that we have improved on the
Colonial way of roasting turkey. Isis no

the juice shall ran down and baste the
back-boue leaving the breast dry; instead,
the breast is turned down, and is lies in a
wire roasting-frame, which can be bought
for twenty-five cents, or is skilfully balane-
ed on four or more caps arranged around
it. When basted the juice and butter run
downward to the meat and the resnlt is a
woist and delicate bird.
The stuffing for the turkey may be made
of bread crumbs and seasoning, or it may
have oysters or chestnuts added. Cider in

Miscreant’s Deed Caused Wild Panic
in St. Peter’s, at Rome,
THERE WERE NO FATALITIES
Rome, Nov. 19.—A bomb exploded in
St. Peters. The edifice was crowded,
and an indescribable scene of confu-
sion followed. There were no fatall-
ties. As soon as the echoes of the
tremendous roar had ceased a canon
sought by reassuring words to quiet
the people, but in vain. They fled in all
directions and a number of women
fainted. Women and children screamed
GLIMPSE OF INTERIOR OF ST. PETER'S
CHURCH, ROME.
and men tried to protect their families
in the crush. The church is so large,
however,that there was ample room for
the crowd to scatter and no one was
injured. No trace of the perpetrator
of the deed has been found.
Since St. Anacletus, who was or
dained by Peter himself, erected an
oratory in 90 A. D., on the site of the
present basilica to mark the spot
where the remains of St. Peter are
buried, no such dastardly occurrence
is noted in the annals of the church.
Panic Followed Explosion.
Sunday was the anniversary of the
dedication of the basilica to St. Peter,
and it was beautifully decorated for
the occasion. Holy relics were exposed
and a large number of the faithful at
tended the services. Cardinal Ram
polla, formerly papal secretary ol
state, was among those present. He
took part in the service in the choir
chapel. The last mass had just been
concluded when the explosion oc
curred ,and only one canon, who had
not quite finished, remained at the al:
tar of St. Petronilla. This altar is at
the end of the right aisle, and it was |
near here that the bomb had been
placed. As the canon turned to bless
the communicants there was a tre
mendous roar, which echoed through
the lofty arches of the immense dome
like a thunder clap. At the same timo
a dense smoke spread throughout this
portion of the basilica and a strong
odor of gunpowder filled the air. Con:
fusion and panic at once seized the
people. The canon at the altar tried
to stem the tide of fear. He shouted
out: “Do not be afraid; it is nothing,
merely the noonday gun.” His words,
however, had little effect. They were
refuted by the smoke and the pungent
smell of powder, and the people contin:
ued their headlong flight. Chairs were
overthrown, making the confusion
more serious. Men and women fled,
stumbling in all directions, the
screams of children and cries of an
guish were heard on all sides, and
for a few moments it seemed as if
nothing could obviate a grave disas
ter. The vast size of the church, how:
ever, gave room for the crowd to scat:
ter, and at the end of a few moments
the people were surging toward the
doors, excited and nervous, but or
derly.
As soon as the smoke cleared away
a hasty examination showed that no-
body had been hurt in the crush, and
furthermore, that no one had been
wounded by the explosion. Calm was
gradually restored and people returned
to view the extent of the damage.
Wae Placed Under Scaffolding.
It was discovered that the bomb had
been placed under a scaffolding which
had been erected to facilitate repairs to
the roof exactly over the celebrated
tomb of Clement XIII, by Canova,
which consists of a figure of the pope

remarkable piece of sculpture in the
basilica. When the first gendarmes
reached the spot the scaffolding was
found to be smouldering, but this fire
was easily extinguished. The tomb
was found to be absolutely uninjured,
and even the pavement shows scarcely
any signs of the explosion. An exami-
nation of the remains of the bomb
leads to the supposition, unless it was
crudely prepared on purpose to mis-
lead, that it was manufactured in the
country and brought into Rome. It is
believed that the bomb had a very long
fuse, in order to enable the criminal
to gain the piazza before the explosion.
It has been impossible to trace him,
and no one has any recollection of see-
ing a man who, by his movements,
might have aroused suspicion.
Pope Heard Explosion.
The pope was engaged in his regular
noon-hour devotions when the bomb
went off. He heard a muffled sound
which surprised, but did not alarm him.
Monsignor Misciatelli, sub-prefect of
the apostailic palaces, and Monsignor
Bisleti, major domo of the Vatican, at
once hurriedly entered the pontiff’s
chamber. They were so pale that the
pope immediately asked, “What has
happened?”
“Do not be alarmed, holy father,”
was the answer. “A bomb has explod-
ed in the Basilica, but fortunately there
are no deaths to deplore, and no one
has been wounded.”
The pontiff asked anxiously if the
church had been injured. Upon being
reassured, he fell on his knees,
he must implore mercy for the
ed perperator of the deed.
A three days’ service of prayer will
be celebrated in all the churches in
expiation of this offense to religion.
St. Peter's is the greatest basilica in
Christendom. It took 350 years in the
building, and stands today a result
of the efforts of 43 popes, and the
genius of Michael Angelo, Bramante
and Rafael. The commission of such
an outrage in such a place has called
forth unlimited condemnation and is
characterized as proving that the per-
petrators of the crime were actuated
