uary, when there is least, a well a thflj
thinnest, sap in the pore of the wood,
and when the weather is to cold that fer
mentation will not set in to injure the'
fibre. In summer tho sap is richer a
well a more abundant, and in tho hot
weather a lively destructive fermentation
is very liable to set in. It i an undis
puted belief among old woodsmen that
tree felled iu summer quickly decay.
The branches of a beech tree felled while
the tree is full of sap will be decayed to
such an extent by tho followi- g winter
that they may be easily broken, even if
large in size, and are worthies for fire
wood. Lumber from hemlock felled iu
summer, so as to peel off the bark for
tanning, is not so good as that cut in
winter.

Toingandold fowl need enougV trf
nutritious food to keep them in thrift
and good condition. The object ot'
feeding well i to increase sine nt rapidly
as possible, and to furnish nutriment aud
the material for the eggs for the laying
hens. With young fowl tho rapid
growth of body, bnne and feather is a
great drain, and to supply theso and push
tho bird along as fast as possible, and
consistent with good growth and strong
constitution, we must have recourse to a
supply of proper food during certain pe
riod of growth and during the season
when we desire the greatest number of
eggs. California Ctickler.
(WINS AND POULTRY.
When cool night come it is time to
begin to force along all fattening ani
mals, not to crowd them to their utmost
capacity, but to be liberal with food, no
that they will show a perceptible
gain. Swine to fatten well need good,
dry beds and not too much sloppy food.
Pork usually sells at a better price before
Thanksgiving than afterward, and a
bushel of corn in October will make more
pork than five pecks will in December.
It will also make more pounds of poultry,
if the fowl have comfortable quarters in
a hennery where they will not be too
warm in warm nights or too cold in cold
nights, and are not tormented by vermin.
The opinion held by some poultry men,
that it is of no use to try to fatten poul
try until cold weather begins, is simply
the result of their cxpcrieccc where fowl
roosted out of door or in open sheds uu-
tu late in the season, and were not kept
free from parasites that robbed them of
vitality. Another reason v;'u p""ltry
may not fatten as rapidly now as later is
owing to the constant worrying of tlitf
young cockerels. They should bo sepa
rated from the rest, the henhouses and,
roosts should be washed with kerosene,,
and the fowl taught to go in there. Then
with a little care to close or open win
dows as the weather changes, there will
be no trouble in fattening them in season
for Thanksgiving. American Cultivator;

TO SAVE GRAIN IS BIK8.
Every year a great deal of grain is
spoiled by molding or becoming musty
after being threshed. This year, unless
threshing is delayed, until very late, the
losses from this cause arc likely to be
unusually heavy, owing, to the wet
weather at harvest time, and tho bad con
dition in whic h much grain was got un
der cover. Wo heard a few days ago a j
practical farmer describe a method bj
which he put up grain, however wet and
in afly amount, without injury. He kept
a lot of common brick under cover, so as
to be always dry, and when the grain
was pnt into the bin lie interspersed
brick through the heap, enough to ab-'
sorb all superfluous dampness. Almost
every one knows that kiln-dried brick
will absorb a great amount of water in
proportion to their size. The brick in a
heap of damp or even wet grain will, if
numerous enough, dry it out, saving all
danger of heating. After serving their
purpose, the brick should bo carefully
put one side for use another year. Our
informant's father had used tho same
pile of brick many year, and however
dry the grain, he usually threw a few
brick In the bin to insure greater safety.
It is possible that this would prove a
good method in drying out corn, or to
keep hay or grain in stacks from being
spoiled by heating through. The bricks
would thus be iu greater danger ol being
lost, or with grain stacks of being put
through the threshing machine. Ameri
can Cultivator.
PHOKITS FROM TUB ORCHARD.
It is quite certain that much is yet to
be learned in orchard managemeut to
make it uniformly profitable. If thc.10
were any doubt on this subject an obser
vation of the manner in which its pro
ducts are often gathered and marketed
would be utlicicut to dispel it. Many
defective apples, as well as better wind
falls, that would make excellent vinegar
if put to that use are allowed to waste
and rot. When cider is made too little
caro is exercised in excluding decayed
fruit and also as to the time and maimer
in which it is made, so that the article
produced is not of the best and will not
command a remunerative price.
Again, in picking the fruit from the
trees, ladders aro handled so roughly, or
limbs shaken by clumsy or careless
climbers, that many of the best of tho
apples nre knocked off and bruised by
the fall. None but tho most careful
bauds should bo allowed to gather the
fruit from the trees. It ought to be re
membered that an apple bruised iu the
basket at the picking means a rotten
apple in the barrel, causing not only its
own loss, but an additional one, by in
ducing rot in others with which it conies
in contact.
A careful man ought also to do all the
barreling. When a full basket is re
ceived an empty one should be handed to
tho picker, and the apples bo lifted by
the hands out of tho basket and care
fully laid, not dropped, into their places
in "the barrel. Face two rows stem
down against the head that ij to bo
taken out when tho barrel is opened for
sale or use. The others may bo laid in
indiscriminately but carefully until the
barrel is full.
A geutle shaking is allowable, just
euough to better settle the fruit in place,
then the head should be pressed in by the
use of au apple, press. Just how much
pressure may be applied must bo left to
the iuda-ment of the operator, but it is
quite as likely to be too little as too much.
At this stage a bruise from a pressure of
the lu?ad will not cause rot as it would
were the pressure not still continued upon
it, by which the germs of decay seem to
be prevented from entering the bruised
spot, as they would if it were more freely
exposed to tho atmosphere. Whatever
maybe the reason, it is quite wen esiao
lislicd that a pressure that prevents any
movement of tho apples when the pack
ago is handled, even if it occasions
bruises to a few, is necessary to good
keeping when barrelled.
While a selection of fair and sightly
apples is allowable and expected lor the
head, to be shown to tho buyer, these
should not be so much better than the
average as to be disappointing when
examined lower down, but all should be
merchantable and up to the standard that
is claimed for them. In packing apples
for side it is advised to make first aud
second qualities, and where there is a
portion of unusually large fruit even a
third may be made to advantage, for uni
formity iu size adds much to the appear
ance. More money will be obtained for
a crop properly graded and each sold on
its merits than if all were packed indis
criminately without regard to size. In
ceneral. packing in the orchard at the
time of the picking will be found the
best; but circumstances alter cases so
much that no fixed rulo will apply aliko
to all. -Yew Tort World.

A Hoy Hunter.
A buck lmd been seen several times
goina with a herd of Mr. W. F. Sowcll'l
cattle, says tho Sylvnnla (Ga.) Telephone,
and several efforts had been mado to kill
him by tho hunter of tho "fork," but
without success. On Wednesday, how
ever, as the children were on their way
from school in the afternoon, they saw
tho deer with tho cattle, and Mr.
Jenkins's son went homo for tho gun to
shoot it. When ho got homo he found
ho had no buckshot so taking a piece oi
lead he cut it into largo slugs, loaded his
gun and returned to the placo where the
deer had been seen, nnd took a stand by
which the cows had to pas in going
home. Very soon they appeared, and
the buck among them. Our young hunter
took unerring aim, fired nnd tho buck
fell dead. Being somo distance from
home, ha was in a ouandarv as to how to
get it home, but remembering thnt he
had a small pet ox and a block wheel
wagon h6 asked the children to guard his
game while ho went home to get his little

in shape to go for his booty, Mr. W. F.
Sowell came along and helped him to get
it home, hauling it with tho yearling nnd

each of his little school mate were seen
trudging home with a piece of vension.

BRINE 6ALTINO OF BUTTER.
Tbe demand for less gait in butter bat
called attention anew to brine salting, and

Tribune, that whenever the maker lm
mastered the method, this brine-salted

said Sam.
"Nonsense, you're not forty, and you
know it. Come. You must pay that
tax. Out with it."
"Me klixty-eight," urged Pam.
"Nonsense, I tell you, I know bet
ter." "Me klixtv-seven." pleaded the China
man ; and as the assessor still shook his
head and looked commanding, he ran
beseechingly down the years from "klixty
klix" to "klixty." But the majesty of
the law, as personified by Mr. Frank's
unbending decision, at last awed him.
Iieluotantly he drew from his blouse a
leather bag, took out of it three silver
dollars, and handed them to the assessor
with this parting shot:
"Melican man heap stcalee. What for
you no catch-urn pistol-gun?"
Sir. Frank says that he has never since
approached a Chinaman for his poll-tax
without remembering the time he was
made to feel like a highway robber by
Sam Lee's demand: "What for you no
catch-um pistol-gun?"
Trees Need Darkness.
Observers in many of the small cities
blessed with shade trees have noticed
that those trees near electric lights have
been blighted by something, and for the
lack of some more apparent cause, the
trouble is ascribed to the electric lighte.
The local arboriculturist say that the
Burners. It has been wrongly supposed
that salt used for salting butter, strikes
into the futs themselves and pickles them,
as we assume it does in the case of meat.
But all that is accomplished is to substi
tute for the water lett in the butter, usu
ally from ten to fifteen per cent, a satur
ated brino or water containing all the
salt it can hold at ordinary temperatures.
At the Minnesota Experiment Station it
was found that butter fats cannot be made
to absorb salt or brine; the particles of
fat are only surrounded by this solution.
All the salt that will be discovered in a
pound of butter by its own moisture
amounts to little, if any, over half an
unce ; hence of an ounce of salt in a
pound of butter, a large part is simply
undissolved salt. It was stjown, lurtner,
that the finer the granulation of tho but
ter, and the longer the butter standi in
the brine, the more of the solution it will
take up; the more brine the butter con
tains the more of the caseous or cheesy
matter is removed, or in some other way
rendered harmless, and the longer the
butter will keep.
But if the grain is made too fine an un
due amount of water is left in the butter,
which washinif will not remove. On the
other htiud, if thegrains are left too large,
they inclose more of the caseous matter

Didn't Have a Savory Smell.
The Java Bode records a singular ad
venture which recently befell a Govern
ment surveyor in the wilds of Sumatra.
After a hard day's work on a mountain
side he passed the night in the open air
in a hut hastily run up oy mi cooties, as
he was falling asleep after long watching,
tho sight of two fiery eyes glaring in at
the entrance of the hut almost paralyzed
hiin with terror. An enormous royal
snltinu can be mot perfectly done by
draining the butter as closo as possible
after the last washing, then adding a
strong brine, enough to cover the butter
not to float it. Such grunuutteu out
ter will contain thirty-tive per cent, of
its weight of wash wute', which, of
course, weaken the added brine by that
much. If. after standing in this solution
for a few moments, this brine is mostly
removed and salt added to reinforce its
strenirth. and it is then poured back and

What will SAPOLIO do? Why, it will clean paint, make oil-cloths bright, and
give the floors, tables and shelves a new appearance. It will take the grease off tho
dishes and off the pots and pans. You can scour the knives and forks with it,
and make the tin things shine brightly. The wash-basin, the bath-tub, even the
greasy kitchen sink will be as clean aa a new pin if you use SAPOLIO. One cake
will prove all we say. Be a clever little housekeeper and try it. Beware of imitations.
