UarTMMuff Apple m the Canadlai
Holder.
The harvest sensnn for pilns begin
Inte in sumnirr in many plnces, but aIoer
the Cnnailinn lionlrr rVptr-inbcr Is r-srli
enough, ntuJ most owners wait even Inter.
Tho tipples here, snvs n letter from Fun
ntngton, J!e., to tlio New, York Tost,
are naturally winter applet, and they ait
picked to supply the lato markets. Apple-pickers
arm themselves with a stout
musun bner, w hich they sling over thcit
houljers, nml a light wooden laildcr.
Every apple must be picked carefully
from the tree, breaking it off so that tin
item is left on. All bruised and
'tliornod'' apples arc rejected as unlit
for pnekintj. A dozen pickers go into
one orchard, and soon bring the red and
golden fruit to the wagons in quantities.
Y ben they arc picked, the owner begun
the work of sorting them, for so much
depends upon this part of the job that it
is not safe to trust it to any one else.
There are several grades into which the
fruit must be devided. The first in
cludes all of the lare, well-ripened, and
handsome oucs, without a flaw of anv
kind visible, and theso arc packed in
rows in the barrel as carefully as so mauy
eggs. Often theso fancy apples com
mand double the price of tho othci
grades, and the neater they are packed
the better will they sell. The next grade
is only a little inferior to tho first, but
mailer fruit is packed with it, and a few
that have slight creases on the skins,
and all of those with less color. Color
counts in all fancy fruit, the purchases
will olten take apples with a highly col
ored appearance, even though it is gen
erally known tlmt thej are inferior to
the green ones. The third grade con
aista of all the apples that will nut uo
into tho two higher grades and yet ate
too good to convert into cider or to feed
to the animals. The apples in this in
stance are tumbled into the barrels with
out much assortment, and the owner is
atislied if he can get in return fifty ccnis
profit per barrel for them.
The "culls" and bruised apples from
the heap are either dried, fed to animals,
kept for homo consumption, or con
Tcrtcd into cider. Cider in modern
times has partly fallen under the ban of
temperance reformers; but there are
enough cider-lovers left yet to make the
drink a profitable one for t he manufac
turers. New York Post.
Japan's Historic Tree.
Garden and Forest has a description
of the great pine of Japan, called Dai
Matsu, which stands on tho shore of
Lake Birou, some three miles from Otsu.
The tree is attended by priests, who de
clare that it is mentioned in the records
of their cloister 8U0 years ago, and that
it was planted in the year A. D. C75.
It is counted among the eight wonders
of Japan, and its singular aspect, as it
stretches its long branches out on every
eide over a scaffolding formed by more
than 3U0 poles, has been pictured in
many books of travel. Although it is
fully exposed to the wind, and although
its trunks uud branches bear more than
one lightning tear, it is still vigorous,
and only a gradual thinning out of its
foliage bears witness to its great antiq
uity. At two feet above tho ground
the diameter of the trunk is fifteen feet
nine inches; its height is eighty-four
feet, and the diameter of its widely
strotched crown is 242 feet, Four
houses formerly stood among its
branches, but two of them were ruined
In i great storm a few years ago. The
other two are still largely resorted to by
supper parties on summer evenings, and
the Japanese take especial delight in
listening to the dripping of rain into the
water from the boughs as they overhang
the tea.
"it is likely that Tarn pico, Mexico, will
become one of the deepest water ports of
the world. The soundings now measure
more than twenty feet 'over the bar, the
greatest depth ever attained.

PRK9RRVINO TBK CARRIAGE.
The preservation of a carriage depends
largely upon the way in which it is
housed, nays Good Roads. The barn or
shed should be airy or dry, with mo
derate admission of light. Do not let
the vehicle be rolled near a brick wall.
The carriage house should not be con
nected with the stable or next to tho
manure pit the ammonia fumes arising
from the manure ruin varnish. Do not
allow mud to dry on a newly varnished
carriaye; spcts and stains will be the re
sult if you do. Do not permit water to
dry of itself on a varnished surface, but
remove all the moisture with a chamois
leather only after the soft sponge has
been used.
CHOLERA OP FOWLS.
This disease may be known by the
yellowness of the head and a drawn-up
appearance of tho face. But the most
certain indication is the green and yel
low droppings of the fowl. It is a dis
ease of the liver, and is due in almost
every case to over-feeding, as ia the case
of those geese which are fed in close
coops for the pioduction of the enlarged
livers, of which the popular pies known
as pate de fois gras, or Strasburg pies,
are made. Similar gorging with food
has the same effect on fowls, but it goes
beyond the mere enlargement of the
liver, and ends in fatal inflammation.
There is no remedy ; prevention by mo
derate feeding is the only cure. New

WHEAT AND ItYE ON CORJt STmBI.B.
Many farmers plant corn stubble to
wheat and rye, and are usually in such
a hurry that three rows of shocks are
placed together and the balance of the
field sowed. This plan necessitates run
ning over the seeded land to secure the
corn and stalks, but the worst feature is
in leaving unseeded stn'ps across the
field, which are useless to the crops.
Weeds are allowed to take possession of
the strips, and, until the crop of grain
is gathered, the field indicates the shift
less farmer. It is not much trouble to
haul off the shocks to tho barnyard or to
an adjoiuing field, setting them up in
rows. They ate then more easily
husked. The husked corn is nearly all
in a bo 3y, and is more easily secured.
The stalks and all litter of leaves and
busks are then more easily gathered up
and saved for further use. The grain
and straw that can be produced on these
trips will repay many times the ex
pense of hauling off the stalks. If pos
sible, haul the stalks to a pasture, or
meadow lot, and thus insure cleanliness
in husking, Stock will eat the broken
leaves. American Agriculturist,
MAKrNO BUTTER ON THE FARM.
For making good butter on the farm,
writes Mrs. B. M. Caldwell, a great deal
more than is commonly supposed de
pends on having cow that give rich
milk. The difference between rich ond
poor milk not only appears in the quan
tity of cream raised but also in the
quality and appearance of the butter.
There are many good native cows and a
great many poor ones. When I find that
bne of our cows gives poor, thin milk,
I want her sold for beef, for I don't
want to try to make butter from such
cows. Cows with the Jersey blood are
the most profitable for butter, and make
butter of the best quality and color.
They don't give as large a quantity as
some of the other breeds, but they make
up for it in a richer quality. In setting
the milk I use four quart pans and fill
them about three-quarters full. My milk
room is in a clean, sweet, dry cellar,
and I skim as soon as the cream has all
raised, mix the different skimmings
thoroughly and churn just as the cream
has become a little sour. I use the old
fashioned dash churn, fill about half
full and churn regularly and not fast
and then slow. The cews are given a
little salt every other day, and this I
think quite important, for when it is
neglected for several days the butter will
be slow in coming. I work the butter
slowly until I get out most ot the butter
milk, then salt it and let it stand over
night, then work it over again and pour
off the milky brine. With good cows
and a clean, cool milk-room, there need
be no difficulty in making good butter
on any tarin by any one who will attend
to it properly. New York World.
SHEEP AS WEED KILLERS.
As caters of brush and noxious plants,
sheep will do good service, but they
must not be kept at it steadily, or they
will grow thin, and their fleeces will
suffer in consequence. The flock must
be compelled to browse only a few days
at a time. After the gratification of this
diet ceases, there is no longer profit in
confining sheep to such food. No other
live stock demand more constant change.
If the sheep be divided into several
flocks, one may follow another into a
field where brush or weeds are becoming
troublesome, and each returned again
after a week s relief on grass. Most
plants can be killed by removing the
leaves during the summer. The bushes
should be cut down, that the flocks may
destroy them by eating every new sprout.
Briers are more easily subdued early in
the season. Large fields should be
browsed iu small plats by means of
movable fences, when grass has taken
tne pluce of brush or weeds in one divis
ion of the field, it may be used profit
ably as an exchange pasturo, every sec
ond week, t'evtral bells should be kept
ou the flock browsing iu tall weeds or
bresh. fc-uci-p are very social, aud
nothing will so soon cause a cessation of
industry as a feeling of lonliuess. Bells
ulso deter dogs from attacking the flock
hidden in an overgrown field. The flock
at this important work must also have a
regular and abundant supply of pute
water and ol salt, and bo frequently vis
ited by the owner. That the cleaning
of the land is not the whole object of
sheep keeping must be borne ia miud.
When shep are changed to other fields,
or to the fold, the time from sundown to
dark is preferable, as then they are sut
Ufied with the day's exercise and food,
and will follow with lets trouble and lie
more quietly than at noon or daybreak,
ftevcr drive a flock roughly. Toe sheep,
which are always led, make the beat
giade of meat, and the fleeces are most
uniform in texture and maket value

REAntNO A GOOD COI.T.
To roar a good colt, those two tilings
should be understood and aeted upom
Feed makes the animal and training
makes the disposition. The" very best
food should be supplied the colt from
tho first, and even while it is with tho
mare it should be fed, both through the
dam and by its own mouth. Beginning
in a small way the ability to digest food
is cultivated aud increased, aud its first
growth is the foundation on which after
growth is built. And as that is the
better, so this is. The stronger and
broader the foundation, the same will be
tho superstructure. And as long as
digestion is perfect the quantity of food
given may be measured only by that test.
Corn is not a good food for growing
animals. Flesh is more needed than fat.
The English farmers use beans and oats
ground togetl er as the staple horse feed,
and tho value ot it is perceived when the
composition of this food is understood.
The English horse bean has 25J per
cent, of flesh-forming elements protein,
as it is called in it and only H per
cnt. of fat, and oats have twelve per
cent, of the former and six per cent, of
of the latter. Thus two measures of oats
and one of beans have per cent, of
tho protein and 13J of fat, a ratio of 21
of the flesh-forming element to one of
the fat-forming. This affords materials
for the abundant growth of musclo so
necessary to the futute value of the
young animal. But it does more. All
the great vital organs are made up of
muscular tissue, and thus the lungs,
liver, kidneys, heart and other fibrous
tissues are more highly developed, and
it is upon this development that the con
stitution, the future strength of the
animal, depends. With corn as the
principal food this healthful structure is
not possible. There is too much fat and
starch and not enough nitrogen. The
muscles are soft and weak, and the vital
organs, upon which the work or product
afterward depend, are not strong enough
to stand the wear, and the constitution
gives wny at an early age. This ap
plies as much to calves as to colts.
While the horse expends its force in
motion, tho cow docs this in making
milk. Both these products require a
large expenditure of nitrogen, and a
highly nitrogenous food and the ability
to digest and assimilate it are needed ; and
this disposal of food is only possible
when the vital organs are well de
veloped. This development is only
effected by the uso of suitable food
liberally provided, from the birth of the
animal. American Dairvman.
FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.
Warmth is life to young chickens.
Keep the hen nests clean even in
winter.
It is not good economy to keep com
mon geese.
Clean off the eggs as fast as gathered
or the dirt will taint the meat.
Always arrange the nests and roosts so
that they can be readily cleaned.
On most farms skim milk is cheap.
Let the poultry have all they will eat or
drink.
It is rarely a good plan to allow a
fruit-tree agent to select the varieties of
trees for the orchard.
The grape can be readily propagated
by layering aud a good supply of plants
be secured at a low cost.
Allowing moss or lichen to grow to
the bark of the trees affords a hiding or
hai boring place for vermin.
When going any considerable distance
grass-fed cattle will shrink very heavily,
for the first ten days at least.
On many farms one reason why ducks
are not more profitable is because they
are not given proper attention.
In many cases a few cattle can be
kept on a farm with profit when a large
number would only result in loss.
If cattle are to be wintered largely on
roughness it is veiy important that they
be provided with a comfortable shelter.
Both the Plymouth Rocks and Wyan
dottes are excellent market fowls. They
are of a good size and have clean legs
and yellow skin.
The best use and- profit to be had
from a sow ia to feed her carefully and
have her produce two litters of pigs a
year. This is better than to newly
breed young sows each time.
The importance of plenty of good
grass in raising and feeding stock can
uot be overestimated. Every stockman
knows the importance of plenty of grass
for ull kinds of stock during the summer
months.
In handling fertilizers, plaster or lime,
be sure to have your nostiils smeared
with vaseline. In such work this is one
of the most comforting devices yet dis
covered. Try it also in harrowing,
threshing, aud wherever there is dust.
An excellent way to deceive the cu
cumber bug is to sprinkle the vines with
tobacco, so that ho will not recognize
them as bis natural homo. Tobacco
dust should be sprinkled liberally from
tho time the vines are up until the blos
soms come.
All the straw raised on the farm can
be used to good advautage m feeding
stock. Oood, bright oat straw is of
equal valuo to prairie hay. The wheat
straw can he used to good advantage as
bedding. If it is cut at the proper time
it will be eaten very well.
It is a great disadvantage to have a
mare in foal in the spriug season of the
year. At that time of the year all the
horses ou the farm are needed, and the
farmer cannot well afford to spare even
one horse. This gives some encourage
ment to those who advocate the raising
of autumu colts.
If you are going to pick the small
stone off that pasture this year bitch the
team to the barrow, aud narrow it over.
If then the stones are not all loose and
on the top of the ground, harrow it the
other way, If there is a wet spot in the
field or near it dig there a deep ditcb,
unload the stones in it and cover them
up out of the way of the plough.

A CCI.TNARV MAKESHIFT.
It Is said that somo of tho most valu
able discoveries havo boen made by acci
dent, and there is every reason to believe
the statement. Not long since, an inex
perienced housekeeper found horself in
a dilemma from which sho extracted
herself in a rather convenient and orig
inal fashion. Boiug left alone in the
house for a few days, she was somewhat
disconcerted by the arrival of unexpected
guests. It was necessary to prepare a
hasty breakfast in order that they might
get an early train; the oatmeal, there
fore, was partly cooked the night beforo
and was set on the back of the kitchen
range to be ready for the morning. As
often undor such circumstances, the pro
portions were somewhat out of order,
and when the breakfast time came the
oatmeal was little better than porridge.
Crowding the fire seemed to do no good,
and as ther.o was no time for cooking
anything else, she ventured an experi
ment. Wheat flour was sifted into the
dish and stirred rapidly . to prevent
lumps. After a moment's cooking, it
was served, and, a might be imagined,
with a good deal of doubt as to results.
But the unanimout verdict of tho party
that it was the best oatmeal they had
ever tasted sot doubt at rest and taught
the housekeeper a very useful lesson.
TUB COCKROACQ PEST.
Cockroachos are somewhat of a nui
sance wheu they become too numerous
about i house, but they are at the same
time useful in destroying bedbugs,
especially ia ships and in the tenements
of our large cities. There are several
species known undor the general name
of cockroach, but perhaps the most com
mon is the Blatta orientalis, a native of
the East Indies, but now pretty welt dis
tributed over tho world, and perhaps
this is the one of which you complain,
but we are not certain iu ths absonco of
specimens. In tho Oricutal cockroach
the fomaleshave only rudimentary wings,
tD'l those of tho males are slightly
shorter than the body. Tuis species
may bo destroyed by placing phosphorus
paste in their hiding places or in tho
Tooms frequented by them at night. A
good way to wage war upon this pest is
to put a little of tho paste on bits of
paper and lay those about the room
where the roaches-fere most abundant
and late in the evening, after the family
have retired. Theft let somo one get up
early and gather up the poison and sweep
up the dead cockroaches which will be
fpund lying about on the floor. The
kitchen is tho room usually most fre
quented by the roaches; consequently is
the best one in which to poison them,
ltepeat the operation as long as any dead
cockroaches are to be fouud. As , the
young roaches will be hatching out as
long as there are any eogs left, it will bo
necessary to use a little poison once a
week for a month or longer. We have
known badly infested bouses to be en
tirely cleared of these pests by tho use
of phosphorus paste iu the way we have
described. Most druggists keep this
paste on sale, for it is largely used tor
destroying rats, mice and otuer vermin.

. Referring to college dissipation among
young nieu in connection with the drink
habit, Mr. Hamilton said:
"Only a little wmle ago it was made pub
lic tnat' certain clubs of young men in one of
our foremost colludes were iiuuiin in most
unseemly and most disgraceful conduct.
When oumment was made upon it tne reply
came that youri;; men always would do such
things and it was no usa to try to stop them.
It could not be prevented, the situation must
be accepted as tluul, and tin most that
could be expected was some slight tftort to
preserve external respeetaoility. If it were
a tact that the average young nun went to
college witu the desire and intention of
uiakiug a little beast ot himself, the iirtt
duty ot the ottioirs of instruction and gov
ernment wou.d' be to deal with that desire
and intention, n it to aocept it andv content
themselves witn trying to deodorize its con-si-qiieiiu
s. If tuere are any college presi
dents who think they bava uo duty, with the
morals as well as with the intellect of th
young men mid youug women put- under
their charge it is hi h time the fathers and
mothers had something to Say, and said it
loud enough to ensure its being beard."

A Tl(lile Sea.
For practical purposes the Mediterran
ean may be accepted as being what it is
popularly supposed to be, a titleless sea,
but it is not so in rcalivy. In many
places there, is a distinct rise and fall,
though this is more frequently duo to
winds and currents than to lunar attrac
tion. At Venice there is a rie of 'rom ono
to two feet in spring tides, according to
the prevalence of winds up or slown the
Adriatic. In ninny straits and narrow
armsot the tea there is a periodical ft ill
and reflux, but the only place where the
tidal influence, properly so called, is un
mistakably observed is in the Gulf ol
Cabas, where tho tide runs at the latoof
two or three knot an hour and the riso
and fall varies from three to eight feet.
