New York World. Why They Are Speckled. Charley Wilcox was in the burg the other day exercising his team of speckled colts. The way the animals happened to be speckled happened in this way: While their mother was at Hat Creek drinking, one day, she wai seized by the lip by a trout weighing at least twenty pounds. The fish had to be killed with an ax before it would release its hold and when the twin colts were born they were speckled like trout. They are an extra fine team and are peculiarly fend of water. Burney Valley (Cal.) Bulletin. An Expert! Opinion. Our readers have doubtless noticed the numerous discussions by the scientists and hygieniats as to the relative value of the various baking powders. A careful sifting of the evidence leaves no doubt as to the superiority of the RoyHl Baking Powder in pnrity, wholesomeness and strength, from a scientific standpoint. An opinion, how ever, that will have perhaps greater influ ence with our practical housekeepers, is that given by Marion Harland, the well known and popular writer, upon matters pertain ing to the science of domestic economy, of housekeeping, and of home cooking. In a latter published in the Philadelphia Ladies' Home Journal, this writer says: "I regard the Royal Baking Powder as the beat manufacture! and in the market, so far as I have any experience in the use of such compounds. Since tho introduction of it into my kitchen I have used no other in making biscuits, cakes, etc., and have en tirely discarded for such purposes the home made combination of one-third soda, two thirds cream of tartar. "Every box has been in perfect condition when it came into my hands, and tte con tents have given complete satisfaction. It is an act of simple justice, and also a pleas ure, to recommend it unqualifiedly to Amer ican housewives. Marion Ha.BLA.MD." llorgt fli'gh For Food.

CO., Atlanta. Ga. aapFnuo mouLAToa LAND PLASTRR FOR 8TABLB.S, Trofessor Peso, of the Ontario Agri cultural College, ssys on the subject of land plaster in stables: "We use con stantly on our floors a liberal quantity of land plaster or gypsum, which has three effects: (1) It fixes the ammonia and makes the manure more valuable. (3) It sweetens tho stable, absorbing bad odors. (3) It gives the stable a better appearance and looks neat and tidy. In fact, an hour after our cows are turned out you would scarcely know that a cow had been in. This is accomplished by a liberal use of plaster acd whitewash. Both are cheap." SOOT TEA FOR PLANTS. One of the best fertilisers for pot plants is soot. It not only nourishes the plant, but keeps the soil sweet, will destroy all worms and insects, and even rout the green fly. It is best used in a liquid form. One tablespoonful of soot to two qusrts of warm water is a simple way of making the tea. If one desires to make it in larger quantities, put into a vessel holding fifteen gallons of water a half peck of soot, and stir twice a day for a week. Probably the better way is to tie the soot securely in a coarse bag, which it large enou gh to let the soot swell and move about inside it. Throw the bag into the water and allow it to loak, moving it about occasionally, or pressing it with a stick to extract the strength. As the water is used out fresh can be added as long as any soot remains. Uive tbe plants light doses of the tea once or twice a week. Dilute If too strong, because if used in too thick a state it will make the surface soil too hard and dry. Soot mixed with twice its bulk of drv earth tnay be used for a top dressing in the garden with good results. New York World. BLASTIXO STUMPS. The reasonable nreiiidira aoainit. tlio common use of dynamite for any kind of work on a farm, or by inexperienced per sons, makes it desirable to use the com mon black powder for such purposes. This is not really so tafe as the dynamite when in tbe hands of experts, but safer oinerwise, ana persons generally under stand it better. To break up stumps with blasting powder proceed as follows: Bore a hole 1 inches wldo into the centre of the stump in such a direction as to reach the middle of it near the root; charge it in the usual manner, using plenty of powder, one foot in depth at least for a large stump; pro cure a screw with a hole through it for the fuse, and a square head by which it may be screwed down on to the powder. Fire the fuse, and tbe stump will be shattered so that it can easily be taken out in pieces. A lookout for the screw should be made when the explosion takes place, and it may be picked up and used again. It may be well to put some dry sand on the powder under the screw. It is most often the case that the screw ie mains in the wood and can be split out of it New York Times. DOT TO CHEAPEN FEEDS. The prices of feed bid fair to be high the coming winter, and such will con tinue to be the case every winter, as long as there is such a tremendous demand for all sorts of millstufls, on the part of dairy farmers, all over this broad land. The dairymen are all right in their ideas of feeding well, but they are all wrong in not growing more of their own feed. Wheat is way down to the lowest notch we have seen in thirty years, and bran climbing up in price every day. We are not certain but those farmers who are well situated to do it had better buy the wheat by the car load and get it ground at the custom mill, and feed tbe bran and middlings, selling the flour for what tney can realize. If we were in Northern Dakota or Minnesota we would not sell wheat at fifty cents a bushel, if we had good cows to feed it to, and butter thirty-one cents a pound in Chicago. We believe there are four pounds of butter in a bushel of wheat fed to a good cow, with good roughage in addition. Bnt whether in the Dakota! or New York, everywhere the dairy farmer is at the mercy of the feed vender. This would not be io if tbe majority set seriously to work to produce their own feed, in some form or other. The mischief is, the most of far mers stop feed when prices of feed go high, no matter what the price of butter is. What a lot of education we all do need on this feed question. There is so little real figuring so little really studied out by the dairy farmers by which they can figure. The way to bring down the price of feed stufi ii for more farmer! to go at growing peas and silage corn. Not one man in a thousand knows what he could do if he should try. Hoard's Dairyman. TO KEEP BUTTER. To keep butter several months it Is necessary that the butter be perfectly well made and be completely freed from all traces of the buttermilk, or this will quickly spoil it. It must then be packed without delay in air-proof packages ; a glazed crock or jnr is a good package, or a new, clean white oak or spruce tub, with a tight-fitting cover. This is first soaked with water and a little soda to remove aoy acid of the wood. It is then well scalded and soaked with salt brine. Then it is rinsed with pure cold water and sprinkled with fine salt on the in side. The butter is then packod in sol idly, each layer of four inchesting well packed, to leave no air spaces, and sprinkled with tiuo salt. Then auother layer is packed in the same way, and so on until the tub is full. A clean cover of cotton cloth is laid over the top of the butter; this is covered with fiue dry salt, and the cover is fastened down. Care is to be taken to exclude air by covering aud packing uuder the cover. The tub is then kept in a clean, dry, uiry place where no disagreeable smells may utlect it. Good butter thus packed may be kept foi six or eight mouths without the least deU-rioratiou. The Jirscy cows make good butter, which bus u high color, and some of them make a rood deal of it, but the best are too Costly for couioiou ute. A good, well- fed Ayrshire cow is as good for butter as a Jersey for a working dairy. Some Durham or sbort-horn cows are good buttor makers, and a good judge of cows might get a dairy of the common stock that would be very good if well selected. The best common cdw is a half-bred Jersey having a good common dam and a pure sire. Some of these are as good as the pure bred. FARM AND OARDKX MOTES. Dead dogs kill no sheep. Quack grass loves a poor farmer, It's a poor "brace" that breaks a trace. A drained acre of land is equal to re moving one hundred miles south. Two beeves can never be made fat on a pasture that has only grass enough for one. Keep studying and experimenting if you do not want to be loft behind the times. Many mon in the dairying businoss are ignorant on many of the most important points. Store carrots ia nits or cellars, and cover the roots with sand to prevent them from wilting. If it is possible have the heifer calf come into the dairy at tweuty-six or twenty-eight months old. Mow the weeds in your pasture land . four or five times a year and you will be free from them in few years. In fattening rapidly, close quarters, cleanliness, a email amount of light, and plenty of fat farming foods will soon tell the story. At this time it is safe to keep a few more fowls than are actually needed for breeding in order to be secure against ordinary accidents. If celery is put in the cellar some earth should be left on tbe roots. The rooti should be kept moist, and the tops dry and free from frost. Start beds of mushrooms under green house benches. Cover spinach lightly with litter, and kale in exposed loca tions should also be covered. When the weather is mild in winter, lettuce in frames need all the air you can give them, othciwise they will be so ten der that the least frost will kill them. The principal difficulty in keeping late chickens growing is lack of warmth. If they can be kept comfortable it is com paratively easy to keep them gaining. Ducks, young or old, do not thrive well on a grain diet. They need more bulky food. Bran, grass, middlings and food of this kind are better than grain. While as a general rule old hens are unprofitable, it is sometimes advisable to keep them, especially when they have proved themselves to be good mothers. All business men take note of the con stant changes in the taste of their cus tomers snd in the demand for certain kinds of goods. Farmers should do the same. To grow an orchard successfully have the ground in a good state of cultivation for several years. Before planting plow deep, and if a subsoil be used all the better. E. D. Eastman, of Rochester, N. Y., feeds 120 cows for nine and a half couts each day by means of the silo. He con-' sidcrs silage and cotton-seed meal a per fect ration. No man need think of succeeding in keeping cows unless he is willing to give bis attention to it, and care at least for the comfort ot his cows as he does for his own comfort. While kerosene is an irritant, crude petroleum makes a good liniment. It will kill every louse it touches. Use kerosene on the roots and in nests and petroleum on the chicks. Cabbages in cold frames should be aired freely and kept cool. Heads for winter and spring use must now be pro tected, but not covered too deeply, nor stored in too warm a place. Because occasionally a crossbred fowl presents a flue appearance one is tempted to think it a good plan to breed them, but this is a mistake. The best results are secured by keeping the breeds pure. In the management of fattening it is much better to have fowls eager and hungry for their food, ao that they will hunt and scratch for something to eat, rather than to have them lazy and list less. In most cases, even when the poultry is given a good range, it will be found advisable to have a close yard where, at any time it may be considered advisable, more or less of the poultry can be con fined. It takes time to increase a cow'i capacity for milk when feeding for that purpose,. A cow giving 150 pounds of milk a year cannot be made to give 300 pounds immediately. The chauge is gradually made. Some of the larger breeds of poultry are best in small towns or villages where it is desirable to allow them the range of your own premises, but not to bother the neighbors. The larger breeds are easier to restrain. A few carrots given daily to the horses and cows will be considered a luxury by them, and the carrots will greatly benefit them. One of tbe best modes of pro viding a natural butter color for the butter is to use carrots for tbe cows. To get milk to get the most and the best millc the bodily comfort of the cow must be considered and miuisterej to. The comfort, the ease, the perfect rest of the cow must be studied if she be expected to yiold to the extent of her powers. Mixing pyrcthrum with four or five parts of flour makes a good insecticide to dust over the foliage of plants, and a cure recommended for the green fly, caobage maggot, and all belonging to this class is one ounce muriate of potash iu one pint of water. An old farmer says that rose bugs "will not go upon a plant they cannot see through." Io prove it he shows vines aud bushes trained ngaiust walls or buildings, left unharmed, while those standing in an open field hud theii buds completely devoured. TEMPERANCE. DRATH OF TUB DRUN KARO.

The tendency ot liquor to exaggerate ths drinker's mental peculiarities is well known. If a man has gambling instincts he wants to tackle some kind ot a gams as soon as be g?ta a "iag on." It he is full ot tha milk of good fellowship ho hunt up his friends and wants them to drink with him and if he can't find his friends he'll take anybodr who oomes along. If be is a quarrelsome dis position he will get into no and of rows and lay it to tbe liquor. I'va known men of deep religious training who always wanted to sing hymns while intoxicated, and to dis cuss religion, though of oourae tboy no longer1 held any relation to the Church. "Drink affects a man's physical peculiari ties in the same way," said a gentleman in tha Alitor House rotunda, where the subject was being discussed. "1 know a man who walks pigeon-toed with one foot, for instance. I can tell whether he has been drinking as far as I can see him. That particular toe turns in more than usual. It keeps on turn ing in as he gets fuller until it finally downs him. It gives him a sort of a peouliar side motion, when be is drinking he walks on tbe side ot tbe street toward which that foot leans and it seems to steer him up to every barroom against his will. When he is not drinking be walks on the other side and It keeps bim along the curb. It is a fact that is observable that in liquor the lame man goes more lame, tbe deat man Is more deaf, tbe blind mn is more blind, the bump backed man is more humped and the straight man why, I uted to know a very straight man wuo would actually fall over backward when he got a 'loa i on I" New York Herald, A if 1XC1DBNT WITHOUT COlIUENT. A merchant of this city met an old ac quaintance recently on an elevated railway train. In the course of conversation the man told bim that since they had last met, a few years previously, be bad passed through a wonderful experience. He then told a story which we reproduce in the briefest possible form. He had bean a member of the Produoj Ex change, and had been in goodcircumstanocs, He fell into tbe habit ot drink, not because ha loved the taste of liquor, but a mania of thrist seemed to possess uiin, so that he often drank from twenty to tbirtv times a day. He soon lost his business, and drifted steadily downward. His wife and children war forced to leave bim, and be became utterly discouraged, and was most of bis time in a half drunken state. Wbile in this condition he chanced one day to meet a man he knew, who was a hard drinker like himself. After some conversation thus man proposed that they should go to a certain mission to bear tbe singing, i'hey went. A woman attached to the mission came and spoke kindly to them and invited them to rema.n; but they de clined. The merchant's friend, however, fait drawn to return the next night, H want thereafter steadily every night for a week to t e mission, feeling, he said, as though ha could not stay away. Every night the faith ful woman missionary would oome and speak kindly to bim and urge bim to seek salvation; but be always declined. One night be felt as though he ought to make an effort to become a man again. Wbile this feeling was in his heart, though he was even then in a drunken state, she came to him as usual and invited bim to go forward. He got up at once and went with her. Before he knew what he was doing, he was kneel ing at tbe altar, and she was praying for him, and then ha began to pray for himself. Ha was fully converts 1, and went to work, io connection with the mission, to bring in others and save them. From that moment, he says, the desire (or drink left him en tirely. Started once mora in the right war, he bean tu prosier. He notuied his wiCa and children, and they cam back to live with bim, and now he is at the head of a happy and comfortable home. He believes, it is needless to say, inort implicitly in the eflicacy of prayer. He believes he was lei, bait drunk though be was, by ths Holy Spirit to the meeting through tne instru mentality ot his drunken friend, and that the same divine inAuoiice prompted him to return night alter night ana nuaiiy to pray for himself. New York Independent.

Tbe habits of mm wbo apply for work are also to be in quired into and preference given to total abstainers. Discharges of employes for breaking the rule airainst the use of intoxi cating liquor have already followed this stringent order from headquarters, and heads of departments are to be held respon sible for future enforcement of tha regula tion . The otlicers of a railroad running out of Cincinnati hare been lad to take similar steps to enforce sobriety through an acci dent caused by a drunken engiuter. The conductor and fireman lost their places (or not discovering the oondition of tbe engineer and having him removed, and the crusade against tippling employe! ot tbe company has already led to an unusual number of dis charges.

How a Snake Swallows a Ffuf. ' The method of swallowing li a very simple one, although, if the frog be large, more than half an hour may be consumed in the procesa. The two bones of tho lower jaw are separate and capable of independent movement; so the reptile loosens it hold upon nne side of its jaw, and, pushing that sido for ward as far as possible, it drives tbe teeth in again, aud then draws the jaw back to its original positiom The re sult is that the prey is drawn down by the movement. The process Is then re potted by the other half of the jaw, thus inevitably forcing the Victim inward. Tho snake's sklj stretches enormously, and the jnw is, of course, dislocated, but the extensible ligaments hold the bones together. The disproportion be tween the diameter of the frog and the serpent's slender neck is indeed marvel ous, and snakes have been observed to split themselves open by attempting too ambitious a mouthful. After perhaps half an hour of laborious contortions, all that issccn of the poor frog is a great swelling that the contracting muscles are rapidly forcing down the reptile's neck. If one liberates the captured frog before it is too late, the wretched animal often seems so overcome by fear, or per haps stupefied by the serpent's at.liva, that it will not leap, b't crawls in a painful manner. We must not allow ourselves to be duped into a mistaken sympathy, however, for auch ii the poetic justice of the case. Large frogs esteem small snakes a particular delicacy. Popular Science Monthly.
