—In feeding table refused to fowls grain should always be mixed with it. Too much rich food often prevents laying. —Sagar For Horses.—Every army borse in Argentina receives with its regular sup- ply of food two ounces of sugar. The sugar is intended te increase the animal's power of endurance. —A Potsgrove, Pa., reader wants to know the average price of nitrate of soda, Ruoepbutis acid and muriate of potash. itrate of soda usoally retails at $40 to $50 per ton: phosphoric acid (bones), $20 to per ton; mariate of potash, $35 to $40 per ton. The advantage of starting a few cveam- ber vines by planting the seed in a piece of sod and starting in the house or hotbed lies in the fact that when transplanted into the open ground they make such a start that they grow right away from the striped squash bug. —For roup to each quart of drinkiog water add one-hundredth of a grain of ar- senite of antimony and a hall-teaspoonfal of kerosene. Plenty of air-slacked lime should be sprinkled over the floor of the house and sheds. This remedy should be used as a means of prevention as well asa remedy. —A farmer writes that he cut timothy when it was in bloom, which looked nice and sold well at sight,but his horses would not eat it unless there was no straw for them to eat. Is was better. The next Year he cut when the heads were a little rown and les it dye in the sun only a short time. It was sweet and the horses would often eas it before eating corn. —Up to date no effective method bas been discovered for checking the damage done by the stalk horer, which seems to be no respecter of plants, attacking pig- weeds, potato vines, salvias and other veg etables and garden flowers with equal avidity. Thoroogh cultivation of the soil seems to greatly lessen the damage done by the worm, but after they have once entered the stalk they are out of sight, and it is almost impossible to get at them. —The department of agriculture at Washington bas arranged for the establish- ment of two experimental farms in western South Dakota, oue under the national irrigation project and the other for the purpose of putting to the test what is known as the Campbeil system of dry farm- ing. The promoters of these [arms have in view the practocal assistance which may be rendered to the settlers who may make their homes on the government's irrigated lands in that semiarid section. —A number of states have adopted the cash plan of paying read taxes, with the result that there has been an improvement both in the quality and the amount of road work doue. Iu some instances there bave been agitations looking toa restora- tion of the old slipshod system of working ous the road taxes, but in every cae it has meant a step backward, lessened efficiency and poorer roads. The cash system is sensible, up to date and businesslike and should be retained by all means. —A correspondent writes: ‘‘If I plane apple, pear, plam or nut seeds iu the ground. will the trees bear the same fruit, or do they bave to be grafted?’’ Is is only in very rare oases where trees will bear the same fruit as represented by the seed, with- ont being grafted. Is is only where the very rudest system of fruit culture is prac- ticed, as for instance in newly-settled countries, that seedlings are planted out to bear, for the reason that, unless in very rare instances, varieties worthy of ounltiva- sie do not reprodace themselves from — —Probably this year there will be more corn planted to husk than for some time past. When managed rightly there cannot only be a good orop of ears produced, hat in addition the stalks or stover oan be made a large addition to the amount of fodder grown. Use plenty of stable ma- nuare, for corn is a large feeder, and then some hrand of corn fertilizer in the hill to give the orop an early start. Do not plant too thiokly, but allow sufficient room for best growth and development. Some farmers will plant pampkins along with the field corn and raise a large amount of good feed- ing material in this way at little coss. —It the potatoes yon intend to plant for seed show any tendency to be scabby, give them the formalin treatment. This may be done by placing the seed after it is ous up in a coarse sack and suspending it for two hours in a solution made by adding one pins of 40 per cent. formalin ww thirty gallons of water. An old pickle or vinegar barrel will answer the pu nicely. After soaking the reqnired length of time raise the sack, slip under ita couple of sticks and allow the solation to drain back into the barrel. We have tried thie method and it produces the hest of resalts, potatoes grown from scabby treated seed beiog as smooth and nice as one could desire. —A Wenonah, N. J., reader asks: ‘‘Can you tell whether bones bnrned in a wood fire have any value a a fertilizer? Steamed hones contain one to two per cent. less nitrogen than the ground bones, but decay more rapidly in the soil. It may contain 30 per cent. of phosphoric acid in a some- what less available form than fine ground bone. Itis difficult to make bones available as manure wathout being pulver- iz«l. Bones can easily be reduced to this state by harning, but by this process their value ie lessened, for nearly one-third of the hove i« composed of gelatine or glue, which decays quickly in the soil, forming ammonia. Isshould be remembered that the finer the bone is broken the more rapid she decay, and the more immediate the ef- ect. —A “Reenrd’ correspondent wants to know how to make Bordeaux mixture. Boudeaox mixture is made of sulphate, gaicklive and water. The strong solution generally used contains 4 poands of lime, 4 pounds of sopper sulphate and 50 gallonn of water, The dilnte solution is made of 2 pounds each of lime and copper sulphate. In making, the proper amouns of copper wnlphate is dissolved hy sospendiog is in a oheesealoth hag in a hookes of water. After heing completely diswolved it is poared in- to the tank or barrel nsed for holding the wolution, The barrel shonld be partly fill. el with water. Thoroughly slack the Jime, etrain the mitk of lime thus obtained into the bare! aml add water to make 50 gallons, The nixsure is almost a universal fungicide. The 4-4 50 formula may be used on nearly all plants, exoept cherry, peach and watermelon, on which the 2.2- 50 formula shoald be used. FOR AND ABOUT WOMEN. DAILY THOUGHT. The very name aud appearance ofa happy man breathe of good nature and help the restotus to live.—R. L. Stevenson. The ouly ent that is at all stiff and crisp in the wardrobe is the tailored shirs- waist whioh the girls cling to. This is u but the madrases and percales of which it is made have a certain body which the manufacturers gives them. The white shirtwaist striped with color matching the nits with which they are worn are in great favor with she girls just now. There are lovely ‘Scotch madrases with parrow lines of any color at all that a girl may want. They are worn with embroid- ered collars and silk bows that match in tone. The new hats press down over the hair raming the face with a bard line. “What shall we do?’ we ask in de- spair. “Behold the bang,” says the hairdresser, that would settle the matter. So we have she hang again, or, as the Eoglieh call it, the fringe. Is is not as simple a= it looks, bowever, and cannot be done at home with the shears. ; Is is not cus straight across. It is rounded and ther made into soft, loose little curls that are juss visible under the drooping hat brim. The bair must be wider at the sides and half low and fall at the back. Naturally the ‘‘rat’’ must not cross the top of the head, nor can it be placed across the back. The willow farnitare for the summer | piazza is prettier and more summery look- ing than ever. It is best either in vatural color or stain- ed in any of the pleasant, nataral shades of green or browu. There ate low, comfortable chairs galore, with arms, or rockers, or both. They have pretty cushions of denim or oretonne, which caunot but give an invite ing look to the plainest square piazza. One set of porch fornitore shown ina shop is of a natural color willow, with red denim cushions in the chairs and in the swingiog seat. Another for the country cottage, bas cushions and lilac flowered cretonne. Fancy a porch furnished thus, with a big bowl of lavender sweet peas on the low wicker table! Besides the various chairs, there are tea tables and card tables of willow, and a charming hanging seat, which swings from the roof of the poi2h, and is cushioned, as are the chairs, There are wicker baskets for flowers, and others designed ae jardinieres, to cover the inevitable flower pot. There is also a desk in willow ware, with fascinating little drawers and pigeon holes, and a rack on top for picture or flower vases, There is an ingenious telescope table, which is really four tables of graduated sizes which may be pulled out aod used separately. They are excellent for bridge tables as they may quickly be put out of the way, when not in use. For Elderly Women.—Tuarnover licen collars are required by tailor made shirt- waists, A little bow is the usual confederate of this collar. A floffy net how should not be assumed by the stout woman. But will fill out the hollows in the scrawny neck and face. Frilly jabots that end at the waist line must be shunned by the unco stout. The lingerie collar attached to dressier shirtwaists is not elaborate enough for elderly women. Substituted in its stead a dainty, well- boned stock is effective. A pretty brooch fastens this stock in front and emall beauty pins attach it in the back. House frocks for the substantial matron should have V necks. But the spare woman of advancing years will retain the stock with something faffy at the neck. Afternoon frocks on the shirtwaist order are finished with lace stocks or jabots. The wide soft white collar fastened to the neckband and starting at the base of the neck is quite in fashion, and is exceed- ingly pretty. It is usually called she Puritan collar, bat it is doubtful if the Priscillas of those days wore such dainty finery as these pieces of embroidery and lace. The thin linen, starched and plain, is also worn by yonnog girls for morning. This is more Paritan-like. The variation from its severe style is the picturesque Byronic collar of linen, with its wide roll from the neck and its loose cravat in trout. These are not only in piotures and in writing. They bave appeared on the streets. They go very well indeed with the large sweeping sailor which has a large crown. It is a little difficult to get the Byron collars, but they can easily be make. The Puritan collar can be bought at any coan- ter where they sell clothes for young boys. They are juss such as are worn by a hoy of 10 years old, They are put on dar frocks, especially worn with muslin and linen shirtwaists, under coat suits. When Ethel Barrymore wore this collar in ber role of Sunday it was copied bya few admirers, but now the fashion isa general one. Since women have gone in for gardening with such enthusiasm they bave adopted an apron to wear during these hours. This apron is about ball the le of the ordinary one and 24 inches wide. There is ove large centre pooket made hall way down with three compartments to hold the tiny tools. This pocket is laid on the material and comes tola point, As the bottom of the apron are two pockets, made of a strip of the ma- terial pas into two large box-plaits. Tuey have the appearance of a slipper bag. They are attractive and pretty made ont of flowered eretonnes or colored linens aod ons little. [It is a pretty finish to bind the edges with colored braid to match the de- sign in the apron. Coffee Mousse.—Whip one pint eweet cream until stiff, then add a hall cup very strong coffee well sweetened. Stir gently together, then turn into the mold, cover tightly first with a sheet of paraffin paper, then with the cover of the mold, and bury in ice and salt. Throw a piece of old carpet over the freezer and let the rest about four hours. This will serve six persons. Some Sons of Presidents. Ouly eleven of our Presidents bave lef sons who grew to manhood. Fourteen of these sons are now living. Among them are numbered successful soldiers, diplo- mats, statesmen, scholars, and men of bus- ness, “Dick Taylor,” eon of President Zaoha- ry Taslor, was a general in the Civil War, on the side of the South. Robert Todd Lincoln held a commission as Captain of General Grans’s stafl during toe Civil War. He bas been Secretary of War and Minister to England. He is now President of the Pullman Car Company. Frederick Dent Grant bas served as Min- ister to austria, as Police Commissioner in New York city, and has risen to a higher rank in the army than the son of any other Civil War man. He is now Major-General. Webb C. Hayes was a gallant soldier in Cuha and the Philippines and bears the title of Colonel. He and his three brothers are all lawyers. Russell B. Harrison is also a Colonel, baving served in Cuba and the Philippines. He now is a business man, a: are the sec- ond and third sons of President Grant. Two of President Garfield's sons have been before the public : James, who was Secretary of the Interior under President Roosevelt, and Harry, who is now Presi- dent of Williams College. The President of William and Mary College in Virginia is Dr. Lyon G. Tyler, ason of Piesident Tyler. The sons of Presidents Roosevelt and Cleveland are yet boys in early youth. The sone of Filmore and Pierce died while quite young. Washington, Madison, Monroe, Jackson, Polk, Buchanan and Johnson had no childran. Jefferson and McKinley had oniy daughters. Oar only bachelor President was Buchanan. Cleve land was married while in office. ——Do you know where to get your garden seeds in packages or by measure, Sechler & Co. For Inky Fingers, A girl I know bas made a wonderful dis. covery, which she thinks all other school- boys and school-girls should know, too. “It's #0 needful, mamma,’ she says. “All boys and girls get ink on their fin- gers, yon know,” “Sarely they do, and on their clothes as well,” said her mother. “I can’t get the spots ont of my clothes, but I'm sorry when they get there,” re- sponded the girl. ‘I try verv bard not to. But I can get the ink spots off my fingers. See I"! She dipped her fingers into water, and while they were wet she took a match out of the match safe and rubbed the sulphor end well over her ink spots. One alter an- other the spots disappeared, leaving a row of white fingers where had been a row of inky black ones. ‘“There,’’ said the girl after she bad fin. ished. ‘‘Iesn’t that good ? I read that in a housekeeping paper, and I never knew they were any good before. I clean my fiogers that way every morning now : it’s juet splendid *” So some other boys and girls might try Alice's oure for inky fingers.—[ Harper's Round Table. ——Do you know where to get the finest canned goods and dried fruits, Sechler & Co. America Alone has Humming Birds. Though the art masenms of Earope may bave »owe treasures of which America can- not hoass, our cuntineut ha« the distinotion of a monopoly of the world’s supply of bumming birds, she gems of all the feath- ered oreation.

Oualy eighteen cross the ers of she United States from Mexico, aud occar only iu our southwest. ern states, The popular idea is that the hummer lives only on hooey, gathered from flowers, This is a mistake. The hird does secure some honey, but its food consists mainly of the small insects which frequent the flow- ers. Some of these insects are injurious to the hlossom, and the tiny bird fulfills a veeful function in destroying them. That the hammer is insectivorons is also shown by its babit of catching tiny insects on the wing, which is occasionally observed. —H. J. Job, in the Oating Magazine.

Not every girl can learn to play or sing or paint well enough to give pleasure to her friends, but the following ‘‘accomplish- ments’ are within everybody's reach : Shut the door, and shut it softly. Keep your room in tasteful order. Have an hour for rising, and arise. Learn to make bread as well a= cake. Never let a button stay off twenty-four hours. Always know where your things are.
