Hut young eels have a wholesome idea that nothing can stop them, and, in consequence, nothing docs. Speaking of the way in which they ascend flood gnte and other barriers, one writer snji: "Those which die stick to the post; others, which get a littlo higher, meet with the same fate, until at last a layer of them is formed which euables the rest to overcome the difficulty of tbo passage. The mortality resulting from such 'forlorn hopes' greatly helps to account for the differ ence in the number of young eels on their upward migration and that of those which return down stream in the autumn. In some places these baby eels are much sought after and are formed into cakes, which are eaten fried. "Eels spawn like other fishes. For long, however, the most remarkable theories were held as to their birth. One of the old beliefs was that they sprang from mud; a rival theory held that young eels developed from frag ments separated from their parents' bodies by the rubbing against rocks. One old author not only declares that they came from May-dew, but gave the following recipe for producing them: Cut up two turfs covered with May dew and lay ono upon the other, the grassy sidei inward, and then expose them to the heat of the sun. In a few hours there will spring from them an in finite quantity of eels.' " A Costnino of KnttlesnaVo-Skln. Peter Gruber, the Rattlesnake King of Venango County, has made the most unique costume any man evor wore. It consists of coat, vest, trousers, hat, shoes and shirt, and is made entirely of the skins of rattlesnakes. Seven hundred inakes.all caught and skinned by Gruber during the past five years, provided the material for this novel costume. To pre serve the brilliancy and flexibility of the skins in the greatest possible degree, the snakes were skinned alive, first being made unconscious by chloroform. They were theu tanned by a method peculiar to Gruber, and are as soft and elastic as woolen goods. The different articles for this outfit were made by Oil City tailors, shoemakers and hatters, and the costume is valued at $1000. Pittsburg Chronicle.

A head of fresh green cabbage fas tened tiy a string to a nail in the aide of the coop just high enough to permit tho hens to pick at it, is an excellent food for winter, and besides it stimulates and gives exercise that an; bealUiy layer must have. This is worth trying Cabbage should always be kept in a cool place, handy to the poultry hanse; a supply of it should Ire stored away early in November. The lime and soda phosphate contained lu the cabbage plant are essentially valuable to lnyiuir hens when outdoor exercise is out of the question, and the fields where such sub stances are usually obtai ned are covered with snow or ico. New York Indepen dent. THE DEMAND FOR MUTTON. Until recently there was no demand for mutton, in the form of lamb, outside the cities and more wealthy towns, but now wherever cultivated people of means are found lamb is wautcd. Country people formerly ate hog meat, partly as a necessity and perhaps of choice; but more recent observations atnorj the better-living "Armors show that a change has c6Sne even here. Tbn farmhouse menu compares favorably with tho most luxurious city livers. The number of lambs consumed on farms has not been re ported, but it would be quite consider able. Mutton has long been a favortto in country homes. Latterly the more fastidious country people have snt tho well-fatted old sheep to market instead of consuming them, and kept the best young sheep for home eating. Summer resorts, sanitariums, country hotels and boarding houses consume large quantities of the best mutton, and pay good prices to the home producers. American Farmer. FROZEN BUTTER KEEPS BEST. With the improvements of refrigera tion and the ability to produce a very low temperature at a minimum cost we are. now able to freeze butter and hold it at a very low temperature at a cost as low or low er than formerly paid for ordinary cold storage. After experiments, covering range of five years, it has been thor oughly demonstrated that this is the only proper way to hold butter. Butter made in June, frozen solid and held until May, came out in elegant condi tion. Not a tub oily and all in very fine flavor. Ordinary goods hold their own and deteriorate very little. Re peated experiments have shown us that bntter frozen will stand up longer after being taken out of the freezer than that held in the cold storage. A certain amount of fermentation takes place In the cola storage butter that is prevented by the freezing process, and when the butter is taken from the freezer it has better keeping qualities than butter held in ordinary cold storage. Creamery Journal. OHNAMESTAL VINES. fhe Chinese honeysuckle are excellent vines to train on a plaza for screens in half shady positions, and when shaded it remains green all winter. The Japan honeys-ickle, both the plain green-leaved and tho golden, are rapid growers, and will thrive wit ua full exposure to the sun. ineir tlowers are very fragrant, and continue to appear for several weeks. The Dutch monthly honeysuckle is also an excellent vine for such purposes, and it remains in bloom from eaily spring until autumn; in fact, you can scarcely choose amiss in selecting any species or variety of the climbing honeysuckles, although there are some more desirable than others. But for a very rapid and slender growing vine we do not know BDy that excels the Akebia quinuta from Japan. Its leaves are of .a dark rich green color, and they appear eaily in spring and hang on until very cold weather in the autumn or early winter. Its flowers ere of a dark purple color, and produced in pendulum clusters. Tho plants arc now plentiful in nurseries, and may be obtained very cheap. New York Sun. HOME MADE BROAD TIRE WAGONS. There are ten or twelve wagons in our town having old mowing-machine wheels on the running gear, writes W. H. Mat thews, of Vermont. These wheels and ax'.es cost only the price of old iron. Tho hay rack is only thirty-six inches high, and when manure or other loads are drawn, the body is only three inches higher than the axles. I have drawn many loads of buy with my rig on ground. so soft that an ordinary tire would not be supported. The mowing-machine axle is cut In two in the middle and holes punched in the ends, and bands or clasps placed around a wooden axletrea in order to make the oxlo long enough for a wagon body between the wheels. The cogs on the outside of the wheels are cut off with the hammer or cold chisol, so that the rims are smooth. I have cut them from twenty wheels without breaking a rim. The bolsters are made the same size as those of my wagon, so any box or rick may set on. This wagon saves hard or heavy liftiug uud is mad almost entirely on the farm. Owing to the broad tires one horse can draw a heavier load than two with the ordinary wagou. I plso have a stone boat on four of the wheels which I uso a gruut deal. It is . hung under thj axles, about six inches from the ground, and saves all heavy liftitg. Farm, Field an 1 Fireside, FATTENING PlOS WITHOUT CORN. Corn, the creat pork producing; food of the middle Western States, cannot enter into the problem of pig feeding throughout a greater portion of the Btttte of Oregon. Hence the attempt of the Oregon Station to demonstrate the success of feeding pips without the aid of this highly carbonuceous food hui an interest it would not otherwise possess. No very definite conclusion was fully reulizr d, yet it is f aid that some points were established which are very eucour sging to these who wis1! to make pig feeding in Orcgou one of the important factors of the f urn. ' Hix Berkshire pigs, born M.-rch 111, r..r i.u - ... ; ntu tit ttc'tetuber 1 ttisy wt;i giveu lom from the kitchen, with short added, in sufficient quantity to keep them in a vigorous growing condition. Grass and clover pasture would be excellont, but these were not available and not furn ished. Nothing seems better for keep, ing young pigs growing to their fullest capacity than sliorts and Qne middlings. The feeding experiment began Sep tember 1 and ended Decembor 29, mak. Ing 120 days. The hours for feeding were 8 a. ni. and 5 p. m. Charcoal was given two or three times a week. An effort was made to use such food as could be obtained on the farms of Ore gon. Theso were chopped oats, whole oats, whole wheat, barley and a mixture one-fourth each of ground wheat, barloy, oats and shorts. The rations wen) mixed with enough water to wet them up thoroughly and allowed to stand until the next feeding hour. The mix ture of ground feed was the one best relished. The chief points of interest developed were that in the dry txcremont of pigs fed on whole oats and wheat much of the grain was passed to all appearances wholly undigested. Very slight gains were made from chopped or whole oats slone. The above seems to indicate that tho feeding of whole grain to pigs, wherever it may be practised, must be wasteful. Photographic representations of the meat of the mixed fed lot show ft largo per cent, of lean meat in the samples. The texture of the meat in this lot was all that could be desired. Ia similar sections of those fed on whole grain there was a little larger per cent, of fat. A photograph of similar cuts from a pig of similar weight, fed exclusively on corn at the Kansas Station, does not differ materially in appearance, excopt in the amount of fat in the loin cut, in which particular there is considerably more in the corn-fed pork than In those of the Oregon experiment. New York World. FARM AND GARDE NOTES. An early bred pullet will lay when the heus are taking a vacation. Young hens sell the best in market, but old ones are the best for farmers to sell. Never fasten the nests to the wall; it increases the work of keeping them clean. Chickens are fond of sand and lime in the proportions commonly used for plas tering. The only benefit of ccrn in egg pro duction is that it helps to maintain warmth. The popularity of chemical fertilizers for fruit trees is on the increase among orchardists. Vick advises frequent syringing or spraying with water for plants infested with the red spider. In your efforts to give house plants plenty of sun do not set them so that they will touch the glass. Burn a lot of bones, pulverize them thoroughly, and put them in a box where the poultry can help themselves. Nearly al' classes of fowls thrive best in high, dry localities, with a sandy or gravelly soil that is easily kept dry. Hens when moved from oce place to another do not begin to lay until some days after the change of surroundings. One pound of butcher's scraps to twenty hens, given three times a week, will be n good ration for laying hens. At the Utah Station kerosene emulsion proved the most effective remedy for tho cabbage plant louse and the lloa beetle. With a little caro in the management a good proportion of the meat needed in the family can coma from the poultry yard. If the hens are fed three times a day, one of the best feeds to give at noon is whole wheat, especially when eggs are wanted. ' Tho Columbian raspberry is a new, hardy variety that fs said to possess many merits. It is especially adapted for canning. Some one says that coal tar placed in the drinking water is a sure cure foi running nostrils that so otton afflict poultry at this season. A writer in the London Oarden as cribes fine color in apples to the soil, as well as the diiect action of the sun, with a portion to the wind. Without the aid of incubators the raising of early broilers on a large scale would be next to impossible, ou account of the ditiiculty iu hutching. With turkeys, ducks and chickens the males should be change! annually in order to prevent inbreeding. This is not so necessary with geese. To be certain of a good supply of eggi in winter the pullets should be at least nine or ten months old and then be well fed and comfortably sheltered. Dampness injures seeds by promoting the growth of fungi, which attack the vitality of the seed; hence one reason for keeping them in a dry place. The Seneca pear, a new candidate for favor, is larger than the Bartlett and not so highly colored. It is claimed that it ripens immediately after the Bartlett. Unless the brooders are kept reasonably warm, especially at night, the young chickeus will crowd together so close that some of them will bo smothered. It is always considered by good breed ers that the lust eggs of a hen's clutch ure not nearly so fertile as the first, nor are the chickeus so strong and healthy. One of the best ways of feeding mid dliiiL'S to the poultry is to mix it with bran and cornmeal and then scald thor oughly. Fed in this way it makes a splendid feed. The desire to save a single fowl in s flock often leads to the spread of th diseuso und the consequent loss of a larger number. Iu very many cases ll woulu be economy to kill the first few sick fowl.

Thire would be little use in my describing what. I lielleve to be thecMiseand the course of intermittent drinking unless I set forth my experience as to the variou methods in use to check or cure the disease. It may be asked, "Hnannta man a will powers and enn he not of his own volition abstain from what he know to be simply elf-deatni'V tion?" My answer, unhappily, must be that a man who has onoe fairly fallen into the drink habit, whether constant or intermit tent, has scarcely any will power while the fit is on him: and, as I have said, each fit leaves hi will feebler and less able to with stand the temptation of a sedative of which he haa prove I the power and of which he is too prone to forget the danger. The intermittent driuker, as soon as he has abstained for a few week, forgets the disastrous effects of his last attack. He be lieve himaolf as temperate and discreet a man as any of his friends who takes his pint bottle of claret at dinner and seldom takes more. He does not st-e why he should not do likewise. It is the hardest tbinj to con vince an intemperate drunkxr J, who is able to abstain for a period, that he can never by any clmncs become a inoierato drinker. .Nevertheless, the principle of his drinking is distinct from that of a mo lerate man. If be tries to return to his two or three glasses of claret, be is alisolutoly certain to go on to his secret "nip" of brandy or of whisky: aud his "nips" will increase, and he will And himself back again in the old road to ruin. The patient, if he really wants to be cured, must clearly make up his min t that It must be total abstinence or self-Jestruo-tion, gradual, perhaps, but not the loss sure. Jiotional Rsview. WORRY, DRINK AND kCNACf. It is no new thing to hear of the closo connection between indulgence in alcohol and the development of insanity. Accord inglv we feed no surpri-w at a statement by I)r. Augustine Planus that a large propor tion of the cases of lunacy rejisterej in Paris of late year are attributable to this form of excess. Far more significant is his observation that drunkenness has increased very markedly in the French capital. This effect is. of course, due to a variety of causes. Among these one is of particu "ur interest from its bearing upon the neurotic aspect of the alcoholic dyscrasia. It is the pressure and worry of overwork, probably combined as usual in the like c'rcu instances with ir regular feeding and want of sleep. Though felt by all clashes of workers, nn Important characteristic ot its action as a cause of al coholism is it increasing influence among those who labor with their brains. Artists, authors, and especially journalists a grou;i of persons by no means usually given to ex oess are enumerated as having succumbed to the subtle poison: and this result has, doubtless with truth, been attributed to tho craving depression of mental fatigue. It is not difficult, indeed, to trace a connection here, and we may accept it as a warning that forced labor is ever prone to become the natural parent of other and worse ex egeses. The best work, however hard, is al ways methodical enough to permit of timely ret and of regular nutrition, and the full recognition of this fact is a mere question of public utility which we hope to see more and more widely admitted iu practice. Lcndon Lancet. ALCOHOL IN SURGERY. The Journal of Inebriety invites attention to the "ilaninl of Operative Surgery," by the well known surgeon of the London Hos pital, Ur. Frederick Treves, in whtoh, re ferring to the risks attending operations oc tbeboiiesof drunkards, he says: "A scarcely worse subject for an opera tion can be found than is provided by the habitual drunkard. The condition contra indicates any but the most necessary and urgent procedures, such as amputation for severe crush, herniotomy, and the like. Thi mortality of these operations among alco holics is, it ia needless to aav, anormous. Many individuals who state that they Mo not drink,' and who, although perhaps never drunk, are yet always taking a little stimu lant in the form of 'nip1 and an Occasional glaa,' are often aa bad subject for surgical treatment as are the acknowledged drunk ards." "Of the secret drinkers," continues Mr. Treves, "the surgeon has to be indeed aware. In his account of "Calamities of Surgery,' Sir James Paget mentions the case of a per son who was a drunkard ou the sly, and yel not so much on the sly but that it was well known to bis more intimate friends. Hit habits were not asked after, and one of hii ringers was removed because joint diseass had spoiled it. Ho died in a week or ten days with spreadiug cellular inflammation, such as was lar from unlikely to occur in an habitual drunkard. Even abstinenos from alcohol for a week or two before an opera tion does not seem to greatly modify the re sult. Dwelling on the immense lmportanos to un operator of cultivating "a surgical hand," the same writer points out that "a shaky nan 1 may be developed by Irregular -modes of living, by the moderate use of al cohol, and by smoking."

Those who have predicted that the mormons increase in fruit growing ia California would glut the market! of the East have their best answer in the returns made by several Southern Calif ornia dis trict. In Pomona, a Los Angeles County colony that planted many acres to olive about five yean ago, the tree are just coming into good bearing. The pickled olives of Pomona have proved to line that one New York wholesale grocer this week sent out an order for 20,000 gallons of these olivea. The order could not be filled, but it haa given a great stimulus to the olive industry, and sev eral thousand acres will be planted to the tree, which flourishes here aa vigorously as in the Holy Land. The orange grow ers of Southern California are also reap, ing a rich harvest. They have lost only eight per cent, of their crop by frost and wind, and tho total yield promises to equal 7000 carloads, against 2800 last year. Buyers are paying 3.25 a box for the best fiuit, deliverod at the rail road station. This moans a return of from 1 300 to 800 an acre for groves that are over eight years old, and from (100 to (500 lor trees that are from four to eight years old. Of course, a Cali fornia otange grove repruscuta a great deal of care and a long wait for returns, but it ia doubtful if similar returns for i he money invested can be gained in hor ticulture in any other State in the Union, New York Tribune.
