also be grown to help out. the feeding
later in the season, so that the hogs may
bo made ready for market without so
much as we have been in tho habit of
using in tho past. The best profit in hog
feediucr results when the desired weiirh't
can be made with the least corn. This
method of feeding is practicable now,

tub virtues of stones.
I have heard a farmer brag that he
hardly had a stone on his place as large
as his hand, nnd to most farmers the
Idea of a stony farm is abhorrent. This
is a mistake, and stones, liko almost
everything else, aro not without their
virtues. They help to make the soil rich
by constantly wearing away and giving
to it new material. They make it mel
low and porous, and when coolness is
Deeded they keep it cool. In warm
weather they cool very quickly at night
and condenso the dew, thus gathering
moisture from the driest air, so the land
docs not bake in a dry season or run to
gether in a wet. Then tho stones gather
the water around them, making tho soil
porous. Ju winter they give warmth to
the ground, for they absorb and retain
the heat from the sun. As long as they
do not interfere with tho cultivation of
the land let them remain. American
Farmer.
ennixKAog or milk.
During tho hot, dry months when flies
are abundant, cows are almost sure to
shrink in the milk flow. Therearcsome
points about this matter that are well to
consider. A great many dairy farmers
follow the practice of turning the cows
into small pasture at night for the sake
of the convenience of finding them the
next morning. During the day the cows
are so bothered by flies that they will uot
eat what they should even if it is easily

food in the twenty-four hours, and must
in consequence shrink in their milk. The
who dairyman will see to it that the cow
has plenty to eat. If it requires a little
extra study and cffoit on his part to get
it for her ho will doit, for he knows this
important fact, that if the cow shrinks in
ummer he can cever get her back to as
large a flow in the fall as he otherwise
would. Good management of tho cows
is one of the foundations of success in
milk production. Flies in the day time
and confiumenl at night will beat the
best cow in the world. Hoard's Duiry
men. CARE OF FENCE CORNERS.
Next to the garden, which ought to be
the best but is too often tho worst look
ing p lace on the farm, the fence corners
art likely, at this time, to need the most
attention. It goes without saying that
it is difficult to keep these places clean.
It is still more difficult to get them clean
after they have been allowed to become
foul. And jet the farmer who has a
high ideal of what a farm should be will
not be contented to have his fence
cornei-s become a tangled hedge of
bushes or a nest of weeds. Bushes are
worse than weeds, for the latter cm be
cut more readily and are not nearly as
difficult to destroy. Not that it is easy
to eradicate weeds when they have taken
possession of fence corners and have
been allowed to ripen their seeds and
maturo their stalk3 year after year with
nothing to interfere with their growth
and development. But it is play to dis
pose of such plants when compared with
the upiooting of wild cherry bushes,
hardbacks, blackberry bushes aud
similar growths which Bud a congenial
home in neglected fence corners. Vet
even the latter nuisances can be extir
pated. It will take a good deal of work
to do it, but if the work is wisely direct
ed, aud is continued long enough, it
will bring its reward. Simply cutting
oil the tops, two or three inches from the
ground, once a year will not be elective.
Removing tho fence, plowing the
ground, aud plautiug it to some crop
which requires clean cultivation, is the
most efficient course. If this is fol
lowed for two or three seasons in succes
sion the land can then be seeded aud cau
be essily kept clean. Whero this courte
is impracticable, cutting the roots of the
shrubs and removing as large portions o(
them with the stems as possible, will
give a decided setback to the intruders.
The next spring cut off the lops of any
and all the plants which appear, and re
peat the process in the fall. It is slow
work, aud hard work, but if persevered
in will, in time, give clean fence corners.
And the lann upon which this work is
needed will look enough better, nnd lj
enough better to pay liber.llv lor its
performance. American Duiryinau.

HOW TO MKt, TOMATOES.
It is so customary in preparing toma
toes for the table to peel or skin them
that wc jump at the conclusion that any
one can peel a tomato without being told
now to do it. Hut such is not the case.
Nearly all cook books say: "Pour
boiling water over ripe tomatoes, then
ikin them," and at least ninety in every
hundred persons attempt to peel them in
this manner, and consequently do it
with much difficulty and very imper
fectly. This is tho proper way to peel toma
toes: Cover them with boiling water
half a minute, then lay them in cold
water till they aro perfectly cold, when
the skin can be slipped off without
difficulty, leaving tho tomatoes un
broken. Emma P. Effing.

SEALING OF JELLY JARS.
Strain jolly into jelly jars which have
been thoroughly washed in soap and
water and have been standing in boiling
water for a half hour. When the jelly
is cool pour over it a small quantity ol
melted parafline; let it harden; then pout
in more, for as the first hardens it may
crack or shrink from the sides and leave
spaces where ferments may enter. In
other words, the jars need to bo made
nir-tight not that the air does mischief,
but because it contains the organism!
which on entering the jelly cause by
their growth the changes known u;
"souring." The object is to exclude all
micro-organisms.
This may be done in other ways than
by use of paralHne. Cut apiece of white
paper just large enough to cover the
jelly; soak it in alcohol for five minutes,
then fit it into the tumbler and packovci
it a wad of sterilized cotton batting, lot
ting it fill the mouth of the jar or tum
bler like a stopper. This is an effectual
means of preserving all kinds of fruit,
ns micro-organisms cannot go through
the batting. Care must be taken, how
ever, to have it properly sterilized. This
may easily be accomplished by making
the wads of the required Shape and size
and puttiug the n in a tin plate la a hoi
oven for half an hour.
When putting the cotton into jars be
dareful not to touch the under side ol
the wad or allow it to touch anything
until it is placed in tho jar; each may be
wound with a piece of cloth to make il
look neat, or a pi see of paper may br
tied over it. Chicago News.

letter to a piece of scrap iron nnd threw it
aboard tha Vera Crua, and after mutual
farewells and wishes for a prosperous
voyage the two vessels parted.
On the following day, August Oth, the
"Sapolio" fell in with ths German ship
"Adolf," Captain A. Schejpsina, who writes
that nn that date he supplied Captain An
drews with ".resh water, fresh bread, eggs,
and claret, also with a lantern and a length
of Hue, captain and boat being all right."
We give it just as written, showing that our
German friend can be as liberal with hi
letters as with the fresh bread, which must
have proved so grateful to tho daring lone
voyager who cirries no Are, and on whom
the baker do. s not call in the morning.
. .
The New York lleraUt, in an editorial ar.
tide on August Si th, rather unjustly coiu-mi-nted
on Captain Andrews' trip, It said:
The cable disp aich published yesterday
giving news of the Intrepid Captain Ander
son, ol dory fame, has given encouragement,
If not afmraiice, to bis Iriends.
There can be no (cieutillc valuj in voyages
of this sort and uo results cuu com from
them that are of much interest to the gen
eral pub He, save th proof that a tlx teen
foot boat may in exeje lingly elm weather
cross tho Atlantic. Wore Captain
Anderson to prove by his attempt that a
transatlantic voyage was infinitely mors
pleusnnt an I rapi I iu a small boat than in
an ocean p ilai-e, then t ie community might
be grate ul. Most interest now centres in
the possibility ot his tln shing bis trip alive.
Just how dipt din Andrews (not Ander
son, as the Ilrnild has il) could select sixty
days of "exceedingly calm weather" re
mains i or the llrrahl wenther makers to
show. Ii this voyage draws out such an ex
traordinary ecnii-il.uliou to marine science,
it ill aim. ist i ii jjI the di eovery of gravi
tution. Hut there ar other things to be
ciaimel in behsll of the venture, some of
which ere well slut 1 1 1 the lollowinj letter
written in re.ily to this criticism:
Editor N. Y. Hirald:
Admitting that C apt -ews' voyage
may not beuetlt selenc, r -t ha may
not convince travelers tl . tall boat is
superior to an ocean palace, I would c in
tend that every pas-ner in an Ocean Grey
hound should sleep easier in his comfortable
birth when he knows that the great s.a has
been successfully cros'el in a cockloshell;
aud may not many lives be saved by this
plain object lesson, showing that a wooden
boat is uusi.ikablef On lake, and river, and
bay, hundreds go down anuually who lose
presence of mind because they fail to re
alize this simple fact. An 1 is there not a
lesson to be learned iu courage. in endur
ance aui good seamanhip? Does not any
man who successfully coulruls th elements

Visitors to the World's Fair, tit Chicago,
will eagerly teak out this American Coluin

Nut as Many Stars as He Imagine.
There seems to be little doubt that the
number of the visible stars is really lim
ited. Mot astronomers now admit that
the total number of stars visible in our
largest telescopes cannot much exceed
100,000,000. This is, of course, a lare
number, but compared with au iutiuite
number it is really very small. It may
be proved mutbemuticully aud the
demonstratiou is u very simple oue that
were Ihe number of stars really infinite,
and equally distributed through iniiuitu
space, the whole heavens would slime
with the brihtuvss of the suu,
The Lapps.
The Lapps call their country Sabmeer
Pame, and themselves Samelots, and the
term lots has generally been supposed to
bo a contemptuous nickname given to
them by foreigners, derived from the
Finnish "lappu," And meaning simply
"land's-cnd-tolk." A more plausable
suggestion, however, Is that of Professor
Friis, of Chriatianla, who refer the
term to an old Finnish root "lappsa,"
signifying to roam or wander about,
iu allusion to their nomad habits.
In the mouth of southern or
more civilized Lapps it appears td have
become synonymous with rude or bar
barous, and is so applied by therd to the
less cultured northern Communities.
Anthropologists seem to have some
dilliculty in assigning to the Lapps their
exact place In the human family, but it
may be safely affirmed that they are a
combination of Caucasian and Mongolian
types. Be this as it mar, their physical
characteristics arc remnrkahlc; decidedly
more remarkable than attractive. They
are probably the shortest race In the
Knstern Hemisphere, unless It be Mr.
Stanley's demoniacal dwarfs. A man
over five feet In height would be a giant
among them, and the women are rarely
more than four feet sit inches. They
are also the shortest headed and thinnest
skiuned people in the world, Some of
them, indeed, aro long-headed enough
in the intellectual sense and know as
well as any bow to drive a bargain and
deal with strangers, but they are none
the less pre-eminently what the scientific
people designate as "brachyoephalio."
