Why do not farmers who hate largo amounts of apple that do not pay for drawing long distances to market try the plan of turning some cf the surplus into apple buttar?

A far as possible the farmer should put the product of his farm in the form where it will bring him most money, and if he thereby turns bis farm at some seasons into a factory he may be none the less prosperous. New York Herald. AN ELECTRIC INCUBATOR. A novelty in the hatching of eggs has appeared in tho shape of an electric in cubator. The special feature of this machine is that the heat of the egg drawer is automatically regulated to the fiftieth part of a dcgice Fahrenheit. It consists of a tank incubator, heated by tadiation irotn the bottom of a water tank, which is constructed on the multi tubular system. When the egg drawer reaches the temperature of 104 degrees Fahrenheit an electric thermostat con nects a dry battery with an electro-magnet which actuates a damper, allowing the beat to escape through the open air Instead of passing through the flues of (be water tank. This entirely automat ic device is said to effect a saving of thirty per cent, in tho fuel used for heat ing. Boston Transcript. COWS IN WINTER. Feed to a considerable extent deter mines the quality and quantity of the milk and butter. It does not pay to keep a cow on half ratiora and hardly get a good milking at any time during the winter. In most case both the milk and butter are of more value during the winter than at any other time, and generally enough more to make it worth while to give the cows good treatment during the winter. They must be fed enough to live, at least, and they ought to have enough to keep them thrifty, as there is no advantage in letting them run down during the winter and then be obliged to take the best part of the spring to make up whut baa been lost. A little additional feed will not only keep them thrifty, but in many cases in sure a good flow of milk, and this im plies a profit rather than a loss, as is so often the case when the cows are fed on the plan of barely keeping them alive through the winter. bt. Louis Repub lic. THE CIBTERN RESOURCE. 'How much will your cistern hold?" I asked a friend, relate Hollistor Sage. "Oh, half a dozen hogsheads or more. It cost me $20." Twenty dollar for an unfailing supply of water which is never contaminated by soil-leachingst Cheap enough if the cistern be well made and lasts for twenty years, a reasonable time frequently exceeded. How many farms are considered almost worthless bscause poorly watered, and if one or more cisterns were put in the work can be done by any farmer drouths would be tided over and no trouble mado. I have now in mind a place where the only source of supply is a well which fails on tho first provocation. It is ollered low. Another place near it, and also poorly watered, has a spacious cistern under a barn, kept full by its roof, and although the farmhouse ha been burned, the place is still held at over $100 per acre. A lane lead from the pasture to the farmyard, where a trough is kept full constantly by use of a pump. The thirsty herd comes up for food and shelter. In the West, even iu many cities, cistern water gives the sole sup ply. The cleanly house-owner pumps dry his supply reservoir and has it cleaned thoroughly before the autumn or April rains begin. As soon as tins is done the cistern is allowed to fill, closed tightly and kept so for the year. Fresh, copious water of spring lasts until the earth i sprinkled, the fall dust laid aud all the leaves blown away, when, if the supply be short, the great distillery of the heaven is again allowed to pour in a sufficiency. New York Tribune. PLANTS FOB WINTER. The fall is the time for preparing those plants that are chosen to brighten the home with leafage and bloom during the winter. The first point to be con sidered is the choice of the plants. Young breathing plants are always to be preferred rather than those that are ex hauated with blossoming during the summer. It seems almost heartless to leave tall, thrifty plants to the mercy of the fronts, but not only their prolonged blossoming baa weakened them, but their rapid growth under summer suns has rendered them less hardy. Feeble plants should never be taken into the window garden unless it be to save some favorite speciej. Examine the earth carefully and Be: that it is free from insects aud erubs. It is a good plan to put panfuls of loamy garden earth and leaf mold mixed into the oven, and bake it half au hour. This will kill all insecU, and when tho earth is cool is is ready to use. Cut oil all water-soaked roots, aud then press the earth firmly around the plants, using uhvays the common red eartheu pots with separate saucers for each pot. Keep repotted plants in a shady place for a week or so, until the roots are well nettled in their new homes. Do not let these plants bloom for a month or two, but pinch o3 all buds, that the strength of the plant may be concentrated in the joots, in order to produce a new, vigor ous growth of braucbe. , "Jj UiooiMi" wis' it lot ylanU during the winter those with gay-colored blossoms nosd all the sunlight they can have, and for tbem a south window is the best. A southeast window is the next most desirable, then a western window, while a north light is worst of all. There are a fow plants, like paniiee, primula and Cornelias, that like the lhade and thrive in northern light, and a north ern window is useful to plaoe blooming plants in from time to time, thus pro longing the short life of the spray ot flowers. The best success In indoor plant growth comes from a uniform temperature ot fifty to sixty degrees at night and from sixty to seventy-five degrees during the day. A higher temperature is only needed by semi-tropical flowers. Plants not only need a cooler tempera ture in the night, but also darkness, and it is neglect of this fact that is one of the causes of the lanky growth of house plants. Shield plants with newspaper in the evening if the gas in the room 1 lighted. The paper will keep both heat and light from the plants. Another cause of spindling growth is lack of air. Plants shut up in the house get sensitive, and are liable to suffer if there is a sudden fall in temperature, but if they are given plenty ot fresh air daily, unless the day is very inclement, the plants will thrive and be sturdy. Do not open a window directly on plants in winter weather, but rather let the fresh air Alter in more gradually through a distant door or window. Plants in windows should be turned once or twice a week. A fine form, which is half the beauty of a plant, can not be attaiued without this. Plants should also be shielded from the dust which arises in sweeping and dusting rooms. A newspaper is suitable to prevent the settling of dust over them, but this care is not enough. Each plant must be washed thoroughly and frequently to keep its pores uoclogged, for plants breathe through them. They cannot grow if their means of inhaling carbon and exhaling oxygen i taken from them. Showering plants over a tub or link is a good way to remove dust, but hold the plant sidewise, so both sides of the leaves will be reached by the water. Large plants which cannot be easily moved should have their leave washed gently with a sponge on both sides. Boston Globe. FARM AND GARDEN NOTES. liens that are crowded will not lay. Hens will not lay when shivering with cold. Do not change all the old hens for young pullets. Dispose of any old hens you do not wish to winter. The size of the sheep should be gaged to suit the pastures. Cornmeal and bran with milk is a good feed for ducks. The manure from the pig is valuable in proportion to the food consumed. Use nothing but pure bred males, no matter how your flocks may be made up. Fruits aud flowers have been rightly called "children of the light woven from sunny air." Bear in mind that the sooner the hen pass the moulting season the sooner they begin laying. Do not risk too many flocks together. Small flocks carefully tended will give the best results. You cannot aSord to buy all your home supplies, no matter how big crops you grow to sell. No one can afford to buy manure un til he has first made use of every pound produced at home. A small herd of cattle well fed will pay better th an a large one that just "pulls through." Young hens and the early pullets will bring more money now than as "old roosters' next spring. During the winter it is quite an item to arrange so that the fowl can hare as much sunlight as possible. What is a good sheepf It all depends on what the sheep is wanted for and the man who takes care of it. Stick to the breed that you have done well with. Improve and build it up rather than let it fall back. When a sheepman finds occasion for grumbling it would be well to quit the business and try something elso. Give the young pigs plenty of succu lent food. A slop made of bran and potatoes makes an excellent food. No mercy should be shown to the dog that rushes out and barks at a passing team, lie snoula be snot at sight. If you have no extra feed do not buy a lot of stock this fall because it is cheap. It will be dear (to you) before spring. Do not wait till you are obliged to give full winter feed before you begin to add anything to that gotten from the pasture. If the fowls get too fat give them some grain not rich in carbc-hydrates, Outs as a single food will tend to lessen the fat. If you have late hatched turkeys it will be weil to see that they do not get nut into the grass until the dew is oil, even though the sun is bright. Using ewes that have borne twin lambs, raising youug ewes from twins und using rams that were twins, have given good results in increasing the pro ticiency of the flocks. The Wisconsin experiment station says that 100 pounds of sweet whey is worth seven cents as a promoter of nesti ana health in calves, but sour whey is not worth anything. This is a pointer that may be followed to advantage.

BARK BREAD DtTRIftO DATLtOJIT, All kinds of raised bread or cake rise much quicker in a kitchen in the day time when the kitchen is warm, than at night, when the fire is out. Thereto! e five or six hours in the day are equal to twelve hours at night. In cold weather anything made with yeast should be made early in the evening, that it may get started to rise before the kitchen is cold. Some housekeepers keep a pieco of an old ironing blanket, kept clean, to fcld and lay over the cotton or linen bread cloth, to keep the biead warm while rising. Boston Cultivator. TO PRESERVE PEPPERS. Take a mixture of red, green and yel low peppers, cut off the tops and remove the seeds, throw them into brine suffi ciently strong enough to float an egg, and stand aside for twenty-four hours; then drain and wash them, put the pop pers carefully into stone jars, sprinkle a layer of salt over each layer of peppore. When the jar is full put two or three cabbage leaves ovor the top, then a small saucer to keep them in the brine; stand in the cellar nntil needed. The day before you wish to use them take a sufficient number from the brine and soak thorn over night in cold water. They may then be stuffed with a mixture of meat and rice or rice and tomatoes.

Certainly the hardest working woman in the house should have at night as comfortable a bed as anyone, but very often this is not the case even in lux urious houses, a springless cot being thought good enough for the girl' room. Though In a city home, the room of tho maid-of-all-work is a small hall bedroom on the top floor. This may still be neat, even fine in its ap pointments, with dainty spreads, con venient toilet articles and a whole looking-glass. There should oe a bureau of some description, with a draw reserved for her towels and bod linen, so that she need not call on the mistress for these things common enough iu the rest of the chambers, but luxuries here. A very good way to appreciate a girl's weariness by those who seem never to dream that she can got tired, is to try some day to take hor place. After trot ting thoroughly tired out with half the work undone, the mistress begins to understand what day after day of do mestic toil means. When on Tuesday an ambitious girl is hurrying to com plete a large ironing in one day, it is hardly fair to call on her repeatedly to do something else, as often happens when there is only one servant, Detroit Fieo Prejs. CHEMISTRY OF TUB BAKED POTATO. Usually the first vegetable prescribed by the physician for the sick person who is beginning to use solids is a baked potato. A baked potato, however, may be no better than boiled unless it bo done in so high a temperature that the itarch is affected. Boilod potatoes cannot be subjected to a higher temper ature than 212 degrees Fahrenheit. baked potatoes may be done in such way that they are little better than boiled for instance, dono in a slo v oven. On the other hand, if they are put into a temperature of 380 or t')0 degrees Fahrenheit, or what Is cillel a "hot oven' ' they will be done iu such a manner that the conversion of starch will in a degree take place and the po tato be conseqnently palatable aud easily digested. Potatoes roasted in hot em bers are delicious and for the same rea son. The high degree of heat cooks the starch properly, but it must not be understood that by cooking potatoes in high temperature the starch which they contain is all changed into dex trine. This does not usually take place except in slight degree; however, by the high temperature it is better pre pared for this change in the processes of digestion. Probably what does take place is a sort of hydration of the starch, resulting in the complete swelling and final bursting of the granules. Just at the moment when this takes place the potatoes are done and should be imme diately taken from the fire and served at once. St. Louis Republic. RECIPES.

FARRAH ON TUB DRINK SAOUlPIca. Archdeacon Farrar, writing of the awful drink sacrifice, says: "At t h. entrance of one ot our college chap els lies a nameless grave; that grave cover the mortal remains of one of its mjjt prom ising fellows, mined through drink. I re ceived not very long ago a letter from an old school fellow, a clergyman, who, after long and arduous labor, was in want ot clothe, and almost of food. I inquired the cause; it was drink. A few weeks ago a wretched clergyman came to me in deplor able misery, who bad dragged down hia family with him into ruin. V hat had ruined him? Drink. When I was at Cambridge one of the most promising scholars was a youth, who, yar ago, die 1 in a London Dotpital, peuniloss, of deliriun tremens, through drink. When I was at Kiug's Col lege 1 used to sit next to a handsome you ti who grew up to be a brilliant writer; he died in the prime of life, a victim to drink. I once knew an eloqiMnt philanthropist, who was a very miserable man. The world never knew the curse whic'i was on tilin. but his friends knew that it was drink. And why is it that those tragedies are daily hap. peuiojf It is through the fatal fascination, th. seductive sorcery of drink, agiintC which dcripture so often warns.

Bohkhan authority as Lady Frederick Cavendish, seconded by the Duchess ot Red- lord, amrms that women lu aristocratic F.nglish society are becoming drunkarks. that they indulir. not alone in wine at din ner, but brandy and soda between times ail something not as a nightcap, incidentally it is charged tha'v the use ot onloral, chloro dyne and morphia is becoming fashionable, and that in the secret recesses of many a boudoir these deadly drugs are to be found. Young women also smoke cigars, having even passed the cigarette stae. e-nglisn society is said to be snocked al the exposure, which is doubtless a proper sensation to undergo. Yet it does not ap pear that there is strong exprerssion of vir tue in a mere shock at the revelation of that which within the precinots thus laid bare to unfeeling inspection must have already been common knowledge. The shock is occa sions 1, perhaps, by the taking of the publio into confidence. The ready excuse for high-toned drunk enness is that the social demands are so great that they overtax the powers of the slave to them. The woman, forced as she thinks, to entertain and be entertained, must needs acquire strength from alooholio stimulants. Having thus abused her nerves eh. resorts to drugs, au 1 having once ac quired this habit Bruls in any possible con dition of her system an excuse for indul gence. Of course willing enslavement to society is not a legitimate excuse for any thing, being in itself one ot the most palpa ble of follies. The women who are traveling through glided ballrooms and banquet halls toward dolirium tremens and the madhouse do not desorve the pity that is uieted out to mtstuken but unfortunate wretches who drink because drink drowns sorrows, and seek tho oblivion of drugs, because oubslde of oblivion tbay know no paace. bo long as aristocratic society that useless aggrega tion of idlers is permitted to rule iu inetn bera as It does now, offering no st 2ompense but the pleasure of being iu the swim, there is no reason to expoct that it will teach mor ality or self restraint. The statement that English society women are drunkar.n aud what the police reporter designates as "dope fiends," is far from edify ing. Yet for them to be intoxicated habitu ally and sodden with drugs at intervals will do less harm than for the same practices to become fixad upjn common people. For tunately tb. ariHtocrucy form a class apart. With the real slfiirs of the world, druuk or otherwise, they have little to do. However, if the admonition of Lady Cavendish can teach them to be sober and comparatively sensible, to note the improvement would t9 a plUure. San Francisco Examiner. TEMPERANCE NKWS AND NOTES.
