Northern fruit growers know lhat
the color of fruit is largely dependent
on tho amount of available potash
which the soil contains. This with
sunlight aids in the development of
both color and fine flavor. A Cali
fornia orange grower, Mr. O. W.
Trcscolt, Las found that iron Light
ened tlio color of his product and
mado it more salaldo. His oranges
were originally very pnle, but by
using five pounds of iron fillings
around his trees tho color hns been
chnnged to n dark yellow, with in
creased (innlit of fruit. So much

while one cut in March will begin to

tests, says a writer in an Knglish pa

White pine, like red maple, keeps

IlIPROVlsa THE FLAVOR OP BITTER.
Trofessor II. C. Conn, says Food
and Sanitation, has for the past two
years been experimenting jn the
direction cf discoveriLg aud cultivat
ing the proper bacteria for improving
the fl ftvor of butter, and receutly ex
periments have been made by him in
tho production of creamery butter.
As a result of Mich experiments, it is
now stated that I'rofessor Conn has
discovered a speck's of bacterium to
which he has applied the insignificant
naino of "Jlnciiliis No. 41," and which
hns giveu the most promising results
as un orguuism for tho artincial ripen:
ing of crertm in butter making. These
experiments, as carried ou by him
were thoroughly satisfactory, nnd
were made in the following manner:
One-Lalf a pint of milk was sterilized,
by incessant eteaming, during a period
of three or four days. Then this
bacillus No. 41, ahich had been cul
tivated iu tho bacteriological labora
tory of AVcsleyan University, was
inoculated into the milk, and for two
days was allowed to develop. The
large creamery at Cromwell, Conn.,
was theu visited, nud six to eight
quarts of cream were put into a metal
vessel nnd "pasteurized." The cream
wns then heated to 158 degrees Fah.,
and left for ten minutes. The vessel
was removed oud cooled quickly by
means of cold water, and when the
temperature had dropped to eighty
degrees bacillus No. 41 was poured iu
and the mixture stirred thoroughly.
The vessel was then covered aud put
into the ripcuing room. After a couple
of days tho crenm wns churned, and
the buttermilk remaining was set aside
for future use. These six quarts were
ripened for the purpose of increasing
the uumbcr of bacteria, nud securing
a strong culture for uso in the large
cream vnt of tho creamery. The
buttermilk was then inoculated
into the day's cream supply, aud this
cream allowed to ripeu in regular
time, at a warm temperature, aud
churned as usual. Before churning a
quantity was set aside to use for inoc
ulation in the next duy's supply, nnd
in this manner continued indefinitely.
The effect wns always uniform. Tho
first six quarts of cream produced
moderately good butter, tint not quite
of the flavor wauted. Tho first large
churning was a triile better, and each
day's product wns un improvement. A
tlelicute flavor ulso developed, which
seemed to deteriorate after two or
three weeks. This deterioration was
remedied by a fresh inoculation from
tiie laboratory. Two vats of cream,
front which Juuo butter wns made,
were taken. Uuo quuntity was inocu
lated, and the other was not. The
butter produced by each was of high
quality, but that which hud been in
oculated with bacillus No, 41 had uu
aroma stronger and more pleasant
than that without. It was ulbo su
perior both iu taste and odor. One
lot was sent to a Mr. liuck, iu Massa
chusetts, who makes the highest grade
of butter, and who oommuuds a very
high prico in the lioston market. Mr.
Heck used the culturo au 1 reported a
decided improvement. It is the pur
pose of l'rofesbor Conn to introduce
this lnoculutiou process iu all the
largo creameries iu the United States
withiu the next year.
THE CAltE AND CTLTVKB OF BKE.1.
"I cannot understand why more wo
mcu uu not. iuko up nue culture as a
business," said uu old farmer, who has
kept bees nil his life. "There may not
be a fortuuu in it, uud probably is
not, Uy llseir, but iu connection with
floriculture, poultry and kindred pur
suits, it is an ideal occupation. liee
culture has become so improved and
simplified by modern research and in
vention., that it is easy to understand.
and is a most fubciuuting uud health
ful business. It is Hcurcely worth
while to rely too much ou directions
given iu cntulogiies aud bee books, lor
they only ruuilicr the business with
too many appliance. According to
Hi., iii tleto du!vr, i'. i liCCtitaiy
to have an elaborate and expensive
ontfit representing an investment
much larger than most beginners feel
willing to make.
"As a matter of fact, one may start
in the We business at a cost inside of
a ten-dollar note. It is much better to
begin in this way and inercoso the
plant as one gets experieneo.
"A couple of two-story Langstroth
hives and, by the way, thero is no
patent or royalty of any sort on the
hive designed by this pntriarch of bee
cnlture, and any ono may make it
who knows how to begin with. It H
a good plan to buy one hivo ready
made, and then, if ono has facilities
and ingenuity, make others like it
"There aro factories whero all the
pieces that enter into the construc
tion of hivo are sowed to measure,
and fit acenrately. These are dono np
in crates holding fivo hives, and may
be shipped to any part of tho country.
"From the picture of a hive any one
with moderate skill may set the hive
np and nail it, making it quite as good
as those that are far more expensive
Theso hives cost less thnn a dollar
apiece if bought in crates of five. It
is a good plan, which has been followed
with success, for two or three persons
to oroer nives together. Throe peo
ple order two crates and divide them
equally, tho exponso being but littlo.
"It is well to start in with a couido
of small colonies of bees. What is
known to the beo trade as a two-frnrae
nucleus and queen is sufficient. This
may be purchased at any timo early in
me season ana put out on tho lawn.
and, if carefully watched and guarded
from accident, one may, by a littlo
management, have three or four col
onies by autumn. It is a good idea
to ask the bee merchant to clip the
queen s wing before shipping her, as
the novice might not be ablo to do
this without danger of injuring her
imperial maiosty, and upon her eood
condition the prosperity and profit of
lue plant depend.
"When there is an abundanoe ol
nectar in tho flowers tho bees will work
industriously, and the qneeo will fill
the hive with eggs, and tho brood will
flourish in all stages. It is amazinu
how rapidly a colony will increase it
the queen is good and the food abun
dant. After a time, when the hive gets
lull, queen cells will be formed and
new queens will hatch out. Then a
swarm may leave the hive, whioh will
be quite a loss unless they are care
fully watched. To avoid this, one
may prepare a box just large enough
to hold a couple of frames. Lift out
tho frame containing the queen cell,
taking care not to bring out the orig
inal queen with it, as she walks all
about the frames and one may find her
almost anywhere. The frame contaiu-
ng tho qnuen cell should be put into
a box with two or three others and a
few bees, and may bo covered by wire
netting or put iu a hive that may be
tightly closed, allowing, ot oourse, suf
ficient ventilation through wire-
screened openings, with which most
hives are provided. After being closod
in for a couple of days, the bees will
get accustomed to their now looation
and will carefully guard the queen
cell, as upon this depends the future
of the colony. Whea the queen is
full grown she emerges from the cell,
and should then be given liberty to
lly about to seek a mate. As soon as
she has established herself in hew new
home and is laying freelv, it is well to
clip one wing, in order that she may
not take rencu leave and carry her
train with her. I
"A queen and two-frame nucleus
can be bought for from 82.50 to $3.50.'
This, with a few frames, a couple of
hives, and some boxes that almost any
ono can make out of material on hand,
with a good smoker to quiet the bees
when it is nocessary to handle them,
is suincienc onint lor a beginner.

FAtlM AND GARDEN MOTES.
Every farmer should keep books.
aud set down all tho items of receipts
and expenses.
Sheep will cat a great many plants
which catt'e reject, and they graze
close to the ground.
Young and tender weeds are delica
cies to sheep, and they, therefore, as
sist iu riddiug the fields of such pests.
tvery farmer should have a few
sheep in order to sovo much of tho
material grown that would be wasted.
A small flock of mutton sheen
should be kept, if for no other pur
pose ttiau to Eiipply the family with
choice meat.
Whole oitts aro not the best feed for
hens that are layiug. They are not
concentrated euough, aud wheat, which
contains much the same elements of
food as does the grain of the oat, is
much better.
For young chleks thero is no better
food than ground oats sifted so as to
take out the coarser chuff, and make
it iuto a cuke. This will be eaten
readily, uud it will make the young
fowls grow thriftily, even whilo pro
ducing feathers, which is always the
most critical period of their growth.
Farmers do not have that knowl
edge of their affairs that they should,
as iiiauy of them keep no books.
When tho census is being taken thoy
cua give but littlo information iu re
gard to the number of bushels of grain
growu each year or the value of their
live stock, bunco much must bo de
rived from estimates rather than from
facts presented.
There uru niuuy old pastures which
cuu be much improved by burrowing
with a forty tooth drag that will cut
into the surlueo soil. This will admit
uir to places covered by moss, and en
able the grass to grow more vigorous
ly. Of eourso soiiio of the roots of ths
firass will be destroyed ; but the stir
ring of the soil will muko more grow
iu their places. If thero is much moss
ou tho surface it will require under
ilruitiin to remove surplus water tc

Tho girls of oue of our Kastorn col
leges have a novel method of enndy

outside their magio circle espeoially
as tho results are particularly de

edges to a depth of about throo-fourtb
of nn inch. Into this box they pour a
cnpftil of whito sugar and a very little
witter, and set ou tho top of tho stove.

It is great fun to make, andwill sur

KF.F.riNO FRUIT.
All farmers' cellars are supposed to
bo stocked with a supply of canned
fruit, jellies, etc., but tho task of fill
ing those shelves and closets with good
things is sometimes a hoavy burden.
Grange Homes very sensibly remarks:
It is well to consider wherein last
year's canning work was successful or
the contrary. If anything failed to
keep, you should surely have learned
why, for nobody nowadays is so fool
ish as to beliove in luck. There wws
a reason either cold hardened rub
bers, incomplete, sealing, exposure to
tho drafts that cracked tho jars, or
possibly they were not filled to tho
brim aud air remainod after sealing.
If you aro not prepared to bo success
ful, do not attempt canning at all.- It
is better to fill a few jars carefully
aud be sure of thorn than to attempt
moro just because tho fruit is spoil
ing. Mako a mental balanoe between
time, strength and sugar on one side
and tho surplus of fruit on the other.
It may bo economy to lot the fruit
waste or to give it away. The pleos
antest way to put up fruit is ip a few
jars at a time, so that proper care be
given to do it right ; this does not make
too great an addition to the regular
work. It doesn't always happen that
oue can do that wy. Twenty or
thirty quarts of berries oome into the
house unexpectedly, or tho pears and
tomatoes ripon all at onco, and thou
is when discretion should come in
also.
Tho merits of drying, or evaporat
ing, as it is now called, should bo con
sidered. Apples, pears, berries and
pumpkius are easily dried in a kitchen
evaporator. As tho process is rapid
and clean tho dried fruit Bhould be
cooked iu the same water in whioh it
is soaked ; in this way flavors are pre
served and the product equal to caunod
fruit. Tho old fashioned method
in which fruit and flies sunood pro
miscuously for days together is not to
be thought of in these more fastidious
times. Farm, Field aud Fireside.

tho train rooohod A ho always had
two hours to spare. Iu that time amnu ol
tho lmys wore sureto say: "Conio, Tom, let'f
go to the harbor's."
Now, this sounded very innooont, but in
tho barber's back room was a creen door
which opened on a stairway leading Into a
drlnklnir bar. Here thn men use-1 to gather,
a liny nt tho time, to have "a Utile some
thing." Tom usually said his good-nnturod "no,"
that meant a relueinnl "yes," and endisl by
Wing. i(e nover felt wholly at easo when
taking bis boor. Ho would not have gonn
for It alono. Over and over su'uln hu
acknowledged to himself that it was tho
luuithterof his chums that took his courage
away, and so things wont on. A year slipped
by, and beer had leeomo almost aa everyday
drink with him, when one afternoon he was
summoned trout tho "barber's shop" to the
office.
"Jeffreys," said tho superintendent, whoa
ho entered. "I havo lioen very mueh plonsod
with tlio way In whioh your ilutios have been
performed on tho road In tho past, and I find
wo need another conductor." Tho tontlo.
man stopped, and I he pleasant smile win
Kono. "Mr. Jeffreys, your breath tells me
that you havo ln-en drlnkinir."
'Only a llltlo beer, sir,'' said Kor Tom,
flushliiK crimson,
"I am very sorry." replied tho superin
tendent, "but that will bo all to- lay. You
may Ro."
The younc man left tho oftleo down-enst,
disheartened. What ho ha I been wishitut
for, what ho hud so nearly gained, had been
lost through his own misconduct. As lis
thought of It his Kood-natureJ lips took a
firmer curve.
Tho noxt day ono of tho boys said, "Comm.'
over to tho harbor's?"
"No!" replied Tom.
"Oh, come on. what's struck you?"
"That burlier lias shaved mo all ho evor
will!" was tho answer.
Although Toms "no" soemod very do
termined in Us sound, thero was sonie'tliiii
wanting iu It. He felt It, and whou after a
few days, tho real longing for a glass of
lliiior began to make Itself felt, It seemed as
if tho "uo" would bo "ycu" in spite of him
self. "No uso iu loekln' tho barn door, now,"
sold his chum; "the horso Is stole; tin)
'super' knows you've taka a 'smile' now
and then, and he'll never forgot It, Hotter
bo younir whilo you can."
Tom still said "no," but tho littlo negative
grow weaker and weaker ; the next thiuv It
would bs "yes." When this was utmost ac
complished, spurred by his danger and re
nietuls'ring his early training In the right, he
said un earnest pniyer for strength.
"And then," ho said, "I learned to speak a
'no' that all the men on the road couldn't
turn Iuto a 'yes.'"

strong sentiment exists in the mountain city
against tho unholy tnifflij. Nearly all nro

to save the whisky for eutnplior, and others
wanted tho stuff called wim) kept for tho

Consul Tiuglo aayg that with beef
from fifteen to twenty-five cents a
pound, and other first-class meats
ripon a corresponding scolo of prices,
it is only on the rarest occasions that
tho average Kuropenn workman, earn
ing evoiity-flre cents or fl a day, can
furnish Ins family with tho kind of
meat tho Amorioan workman cats. Tho
German workman's task is, howover,
just as exacting as that of his trans
atlantic contemporary. Ho must, if
he would keep up his bodily strength,
havo as much nutriment, oven if it is
of a coarser nature. The demand ex
isting, therefore, tho supply has boon
found. It is horseflesh.
"In Germany," the Consul reports,
"tho prcjndieo agninst horso meat is
fast disappearing. The workman has
found that for seven oents a pound he
can proonro a food excellent iu every
particular, and as the knowledge
grows, tho demand for horseflesh
grows with it. But it is beginning to
be difficult to keep tho supply up to
the demand.
"Formerly tho German butcher
proenred horses which wore cither
worn out or injured so as to bo useless
for working purposes for from 83 to
10 each. Tho supply of horses of
this character has been well nigh ex
hausted, however, and he must now
pay from $35 to $50 for his horses.
The consequence is, that jnst as people
havo become attracted to horse meat
because of its exceeding cheapness in
comparison with beef, tho butcher
finds he must iucreaso prices."
Consul Tinge says that the meat is
used in Germany salted, smoked and
fresh. He suggests that shipments
from America bo made "on the hoof,"
for in that way horses aro admitted at
a tariff of $4.75 a head, aud doubt
about tho purity of tho meat is
avoidod. He says the German butchers
pay $35 a head lor worn out horses,
and that fresh American horse would
bo worth more. However, if bnt $30
a hejtd was reooived for live American
horses, he says there would bo a prollt
in the shipment, because, allowing
St. 75 for duty and 92 for transporta
tion, it would leave 825.25 to the pro
ducer of the nuimal in America. Chi

traffic on two lakes closo to Doras,
which were separated by a strip ot

two lakes, and tho steamer was to run
itself across Irom mo lako to tho
other. When tried at the works, tho
vessel f til lilted tho tests very well.
Tho engine wns of ten horso pewtr,

Another original craft was tho
steamship Louvre, built at Nautes, in
France, about three years ngo. She
was tho first ocean vesrcl provided
with two central propellers, which
were placed underneath the middlo of
the hull, instead of at the stern. It
was claimed that by this means a
steamer could remain at sea dnriug

danger being incurred. The Louvre
ran regularly between I'uria . and
