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? It requires considerable
labor, as it is a branch of manufacture;
but the farmer who has invested labor
in this way is surer to get pay for it
than he is for most of hia work on the
farm. 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

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

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

'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.

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.

HOUSEHOLD AFFAIR.
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.

COMPORTS FOR SERVANTS.
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

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.

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

It bus been suggested that as skins
and hides formerly did duty as bottles
and vessels for carrying wlue and other
liquors, the hogshead or hngshide was
originally a barrel of the same capacity
as a liquor containing vessel made of tho
skin or hido of a hog. Others think it
may have been "oxhide" from which the
word was derived. A the Dutch and
Scandinavians called this kind of a caik
by lomo equivalent ot oxhide, there Is
tome probability that this may be the
true origin of the word. House Fur

. My acquaintance with Boschee's
German Syrup was made about four
teen years ago. I contracted a cold
which resulted in a hoarseness and
cough which disabled me from fill
ing ray pulpit for a number of Sab
Saths. After trying a physician,
without obtaining relief I saw the
advertisement of your remedy and
obtained a bottle. I received quick
and permanent help. I never hesi

Did you ever see a sickly
baby with dimples ? or a heal
thy one without them ?
A thin baby is always deli
cate. Nobody worries about
a plump one.
If you can get your baby
plump, he is almost sure to
be well. If you can get him
well, he is almost sure to be
plump.
The way to do both there
is but one way is by care
ful living. Sometimes this
depends on Scott's Emulsion
of cod-liver oil.
