SKLLIXO EOOS HT WEIGHT.
It seems to bo slow work inducing
the enactment of a law compelling the
Belling of eggs by weight, and this
question should be thoroughly agi
tated until a change is made. It is a
subject that should be considered by
the Stato Boardof Agriculture of each
State, and as it is largely in the inter
est of the farmers the Mirror has called
attention to it as a matter of justice.
There is a wrong done tho farmers hi
Belling eggs by tho dozen, for the
farmer iu telling eggs by the
dozen, is compelled to give
more than he receives, while tho cus
tomer pays too niuoh or too little at
times, according to circumstances. It
is the dealer who is shrewd enough to
assort tho eggs and put the difference
in his own pocket, but he does so by
common consent of all who buy and
ecll.
It is a fact that an egg should bo
worth what it costs. The hen that
lays a dozen large eggs may have con
verted more food into eggs than ono
that has laid fifteen cues, vet the
farmers may sell tho fewer number for
less than the larger, though really tho
fewer may weigh moro than the others.
During tho year one hen may lay ouo
hundred eggs that weigh seven to the
pound, while her companion may lay
120 eggs that weigh ten to tho pound.
Tho latter will be considered the bet
ter hen, although the former will havo
really performed more service and
laid over txo pounds more of eggs
than the one that gave the greatest
number. In justice the farmer ought
to receive more money for the large
eggs, as they cost him more in the
shape of food, but tho fact is that ho
receives less, because eggs are sold by
the dozen.
There is no correct method of ex
change except by weight, and it is not
to the interest of producers to sell by
any other system. Exact justice is
done all concerned when eggs are sold
by weight, and to adopt this method
is to euconrage better breeds of fowls.
More eggs Bnd larger ones will then
reach the market, and each producer's
goods will be sold on their merits.
As we stated before, this is a subject
which demands the consideration of
poultry associations, agricultural so
cieties and the whole body of farmers
as a class. Mirror and Farmer.

What to do with the land that will
hot bring more thin from S3 to 813
per aero has been a problem with
many tanner, for generally such laud
is almost worthless for most crops.
Located upon hillsides, or in exposed
places where tho soil is poor, there
teems to bo no use or demand for it.
But in the last quarter of a oentury a
preat deal of this laud iu the north
ern belt of States has been turned
into apple orchards, which have been
paying from $15 to $73 per acre an
nually, a profit that would bo consid
ered satisfactory by any farmer. The
orchards havo been well taken care of,
and have demonstrated what can be
Hone. Instead of allowing the land
lo remain idle, the owners planted the
orchards of trees on it, and then care
fully cultivated them. To-day tho
land is worth considerably mora than
t the beginning.
Tho trees on poor soil need more
training than thoeo on rich. Enrich
the earth around the trees, and they
will get established. Barnyard manure
is undoubtedly the b3st for this, and
where it is abundant do not be de
ceived into buying any prepared mix
ture. Allow poultry, sheep, aud swine
to fertilize the orchards by roaming
at large in them. They open the soil,
let in the air aud suulight, fertilize
tho trees, and dostroy tha insoeti.
By turning the orchards into poultry
ranges you will add quite a little to
the income from the eggs and fresh
chickens supplied for the table or
market.
Train the tree young. Tho best au
thorities say thnt only the pocket
knife should be used for training aud
pruning nppla trees. This is only
another way of saying that the prun
ing should be done early, beforo the
branches havo attained any great
growth. Discover whether the limbs
need to be cut ofT boforo they htvo
reached the size of tho arm. l'rune
the young trees so that they will form
an even head, giving the heaviest
amount of shade on tho south side, to
shield from the hot sun. Use a cov
ered glats with a magnifying power to
dibcover the insects on the limbs in
broad daylight, and then clip off the
twigs with the eggs- or nests on thorn
to burn. Oermautown (JVnn.) Tele

The use of pumpkins as a fall au.l
winter food for cattle cannot bo too
hi;lily recommended, and the fact that
they are the cheapest aud most easily
raised of all our winter green foods is
not generally known, or at least not
acted upon. Coming at a time when
pasture is getting very short and be
fore tho farmer waut:i to eouimencc
using bis roots, they bridge the gap
between summer pasture or toiling ami
winter burn feeding, and keep up the
flow of milk which s. often full.i o'J'
about this I rue.
TIiuko who plant tliein usually dro;
jilbt a few seeds iu tho hill with the
corn, aud lot tueiu tako their chance
and make something if thuy cttu. This
is wrou for the pumplin being a
plant thut le.j'iu-es a great dual vl
moisturo and sun, doos not get enough
of either. Tho former it has to sharo
with the corn, which also needs lot of
moisture, especially during tho grow
ing season, and the sunshine is shut off
by the foliago of tho corn, iu addition
to this thero is very little land that is
rich enough to support two crops.
FttmpkinR should be growu by them
selves like other crops.
For a pumpkin patch chooso a light
soil. A sandy piece of bottom is just
tho thing, tho richer thn hotter, of
course ; though compartively poor soil
will do. After plowing and harrow
ing, lay it off in check rows ten foot
each way. At each check dig a small
holo and put in one or two forkfuls of
manure, or, which is quicker, throw
out a double furrow with the plow
ing and then put your manure in the
checks. The pumpkin, like com, is
a coarse feeder and does not ncod the
manure to be thoroughly rotted, but
makes large returns for a liberal ap
plication. Cover up tho manure with
three or four inches of earth, making
a perceptiblo "hill." Sow four or five
seeds iu each hill as soon as danger of
frost is over, whioh in this part is
about tho first of May. When in soo
ond or third leaf, thin to two plants in
a mil, and if the ground is rich, they
may with advantage be again thinued
to one, when danger from tho striped
bug is over, nbont the time the plants
begin to run. They should be culti
vated alternato ways every couple of
weeks till they begin to run, which
will be in about two months from sow
ing, when they will very soon com
pletely cover the ground, and so keep
the weeds down themselves.
The pumpkins should be gathered as.
soon as the first light frost has killed
tho leaves, and stored in a cool place
whero frost will not reach them. A
good plan is to put them on a barn
floor, or other place, where they oan
bo sorted as they are fed, using those
first that are beginning to rot. In this
way they may be kept till the first or
middle of Jauuary, whero t o ther
mometer doos not fall below fifteen or
twenty degrees of frost.
Besides being excellent food for oat
tic, hogs are very fond of thorn, and

It il customary in some households
in wash the furniture with soap and
water. Such a method may bo en
tiroly safe when practiced by careful
persons. - As tho average maid is like
ly to treat a valued Vernis Martin cab

the use of soap nnd water by hor in
connection with furnittiro should bo
forbidden.
Whon soap is nsod for fnrnituro it
should bo of the best quality, having
but a small amount of alkali in its
composition, and tho water nsod
should be lukewarm, applied with a
soft cloth and quickly wiped off", par
ticularly from all corners and crovicoa.
Dark mahogany, which is now so
fashionable, is particularly sciisijivo
to soap and water, arising from tho
fact that tho coloring matter which
operates to darken the wood through
the action of light is an aoid, so that
when tho alkali of tho water is permit

what professionals rely on ; as a rule
they use no other. Tha woodwork
should bo first carefully wiped off
with a dry, soft cloth, and the dust
thoroughly removed from corners aud
carvings. Tho best artielo to accom
plish this is a large paint brush, usual
ly called a painter's duster. The oil
may then be applied with a smaller
brush, wiping off with a soft cloth
and rubbing thoroughly dry. It will

ment ; should this method be pursued
regularly thero will be no difficulty

When a piece of furniture is very
badly defaced and dented it should be
intrusted to some good repairer, who
may sometimes find it necessary to
scrapo off the old finish entirely, iu
order to make a satisfactory piece of
work. When the wood is slightly
dented ono may sometimes overcome
the trouble by steaming tha indenta
tion with a hot iron aud a wet cloth,
afterward making a small pad of mus
lin and rubbing over the surface soma

to make the work easier. Scratches
may bo treated in tho same way.

A young man staggers by you, unbccdeJ,

wealth or empire, wheu sho pressed her boy
to her bosom. Now he is a drunkard, and
her old ago is steeped in sorrow. Tho next
ono was the hop:) of a father's deolluln t
years : ho speut upon him riches of hand
nnd nffectious of heart ; to-dny his father is
friendless nnd fnmlslilng, and the son's heart
has but one love, whisky. How often the
happy brido of yesterday finds herself, ere
the voice of tho holy promises spoken before
Ooi's altar has ceased to reverberate in hei
oar. tho wife of a drunknrd ! For yenrs she
leads a life of sorrow nnd misery, the hor
rors of which no ono realizut who has not
witnessed them. Ho hnd pledged undying

BulTaloninns who lifted thoir eyes to
ward tho northern sky betwoon 10 and
11 o'clock tho other morning saw there
a beautiful nnd wonderfully perfect
mirage. It was tho likeness of the
city of Toronto with its harbor and
lit tle island which lies in Lako Ontario
a short distance to tho south. Toronto
is fifty-six miles north of Buffalo, N.
V., but those who first witnossod tho
phenomonou wero ablo to count tho
church spiros in tho Canadian city.
Tho phenomenon is classed by natural
scientists as n mirago of the third
order, tho objects looming up far
above their real levol aud not inverted,
as is the case with mirages of tho first
and second class, but appearing like a
perfect landscapo far away in cloud
land. Tho mirago showed tho entire
breadth of Lake Ontario, a projection
oast of tho inirrorod Toronto being
easily recognized as Charlotte,
suburb of Rochester. In a direct line
botweon this point and Toronto Bay
a largo sidowhoel steamer oould be
aeon making her way. Tho vossel ply
ing on tho Ontario at tho tiino was tho
Norseman. Ear to tho north of this
steamer wore seen two black objects
surrounded by smoko and standing
out from tho glaasy surfaoo of the
water. They wero two large steamers
of tho New York Central Line, plying
between Lewiatou and Toronto. A
Bailboat, apparently a yacht, was the
most distiuct of all tho objects. Her
niaiu nail was set and sho was lying
close to tho w in ). Sho wan seen to turn
aud careen with tho west wind and
then suddenly disappear, as though
nature had removed a slide from bet
magic lantern. In tho satuoVay slowly
tho whole great sceno began to dis
solve. A bank of black clouds swept
along nnd obliterated tho picture, to
the intense disgust of thousands who
had swarmed tho tops of tho highest
buildings. Chicago Herald.
