lo Cud that, while tho flesh of the
vegetable's interior Trm round nnd

How and Why It Rains.
Finin is an accumulation of tho tiny
partioles of t je vapor of the atmos
phere into drops. Theso drops, first
Btaall of size, attract others of thoir
kind and become drops of suoh mag
nitude that they fall to the earth bo
cause of their weight. There is a limit
to the quantity of water which the air
is capable of absorbing aud retaining
as invisible vapor. Warm air is abla
to hold more thn cold uir. Hence,
when the air which is taturated with
moisture becomes cold or any reason
whatever, it can no longer retain its
moisture. A portion must, under
such condition, accumuluto into drops.
These fall to the er.rth iu the sUaus of

SKILLED FARM LABORERS,
That the farm laborer should be or
indeed can be a skilled workman may
seem to some a contradiction in terms.
let there can be no doubt that in
modern farming qnita as much de
pends upon skill as upon strength of
muscle. More than this, the unskil
ful person intrusted with the handling
of expensive farm implements will be
more than likely to injure thorn be
yond the amount of his wages. Even
in doing ordinary farm work skill
counts for more than muscle without
it. Above all, the worker whom the
farmer hires ought to have such an in
telligent comprehension of the busi
ness that his advice will be worth ask
ing and taking. There are a great
many farmers who think they know it
ad, who might profitably receive
counsel from their hired help. Two
heads are better than one, even
though oue be a sheep's head, is an
old and trne saying. There ia an ad
vantage which some intelligent hired
men uave over many larmers in a
wider experience under changed con
ditions. The man who has worked for
a number of good farmers and has
gained some new ideas from each be
comes an invaluable assistant. His
counsel may need to be modified
sometimes, but be will make many sug
gestions that can be turned to good
account. uoston Cultivator.
SUILAX IN WINTER.
There is no reason why one cannot
raise smilr.x in a window, and have it
as nice as that grown in a greenhouse,
it one is willing to cive it the atten
tion and care it needs. A plant can be
bought of a florist at any time, and
here ara some plain directions from
Vick's Monthly Magazine concerning
its care :
It is a plant that requires a great
deal of water iu the growing season. It
alto needs its foliage sprinkled often.
It is a prey to the red spider if neg
lected, and the spraying frees them
irom the pest, as well as keeps the
foliage in a healthy condition. If pos
sible, place the box or pot where it
need not be disturbed all winter. By
doing this (trings may bo placed for
each vino to cling to. They do much
better and alto are in better shape for
cntting. florists always train them
upright on strings.
Toward spring the vines begin to
blossom. The flowers are so small
that one has to search for them, but
the odor is often apparent before the
blossom is seen. The flowers are near
ly white, and the fragrance reminds
one somewhat of mignonette. After
the blossoms a small berry, or seed
ball, forms, nnd when this is ripe the
vine gradually dies down and takes a
season of rest. When the foliage be
gins to turn yellow, do not water the
plant much, but let it die down grad
ually. The bnlbs can bo lclt in the
earth or taken out and stored away till
July or Auoust, then repot them iu
rich soil, and they will be ready for
another season a growth. The seeds
may be planted, ' us they grow quite
readily, and the best season for grow
ing is from December to February.
IS FULL FEEDING EXHAUSTIVE?
Some have an idea that what sensi
ble men call full feeding, exhausts
the vitality and energy of the cow,
causing her to wear out soouer than
the would ou a short diet. Possibly
a cow may be overfed, but it will be
difticult to make her eat more than
she needs if fed regularly. A starved
cow might gorge herself to her injury,
but if fed regu'.arly, on a ration prop
erly balanced, 6he will not injure her
felt by overeati ug. As to exuatutiou,
it strikes ine that she will hold out
much longer if well fe.'. A man ou
half rations breaks down much sooner
than oiio ou a full duet. The mine is
true of a work animal, or of a niileh
cow. Thero is nothing gained but
much lost by a starvation diet. Hut
suppose full feeding docs shorten the
term of productiveness, is there not
more profit iu a lurgo yield for a few
years thau iu a siuull yield for dtm'ole
the time? The small yield does not
pay for tho cost of production, aud
prulouing it only increases tho los:;.

not bo afraid of wearing out ft cow by
giving her enough to eat. Keep her
at her best all tho time. For milch
cows, nothing is better than new hay
or young clover hay, also good sweet
ensilage, which is much sweeter and
more nutritious than timothy. Over
ripe timothy hay is of littlo value. It
makes poor meadows, poor cows, poor
milk and poor butter. Milk cows
should have constant access to water
in tho barn. They cat a great deal of
dry food, and must have plenty of
water to help digest it aud make milk.
Oood feeding and good caro cost noth
ing aud make n farmer rich. Poor
feeding, a dirty barn and poor care,
cost great deal, and make many
farmers very poor. American Agriculturist,
rouLTnr foods.
Milk is one of tho best foods that
etiu be given to fowls. Iu one sense
it 19 tho very host, aa it is a complete
food ; but its croat bulk is against it,
for it would be impossible for poultry
to drink enough milk alone to satisfy
their appetite. It must, therefore, ba
used in connection with other food.
While sweet whole milk is to be pre
ferred, sour and skimmed milk are
also valuable. The objoction to milk
as a substitue for meat ia its undue
proportion of water. It is calculated
that it will require seven pounds of
skimmed milk to equal one pound of
lean meat for flesh forming qualities.
Some poultry raisers never feed
meat, claiming that its use is unnatural
and unnecessary. They overlook the
fact that it is but a substitute for the
insects from which the poultry are de
barred by confinement. The praotioa
of feeding upon them proves conclu
sively the oraving for animal food, the
elements of which enter into the com
position of eggs. The practice of
feeding green bona has now becomo
nearly uuiversal. Its merits are gen
erally acknowledged, but they are en
hanced by tho partioles of meat ad
hering to tho bone. The two to
gether combine the elements of the
complete ohick.
Vegetables and green food of all
kinda will assist greatly in keeping
tne lowls in good oondition during the
winter, ah tne small potatoes Bhould
be boiled and given to the hens, who
will greedily pick them to pieces. Tho
same is true of turnips. Parings of
all kinds of vegetables will be readily
eaten. Poor worm-eaten apples will
gi"e a zest to their appetites, and a
cabbage hung where they may peok at
it will serve the same purpose. Pump
kins are also appreciated. Clover hay
or corn fodder cut to half-inch lengths,
scalded or sprinkled slightly with corn
meal, supplies a very good and econ
omical ration. Peas and beans cooked
and thickened with bran are excellent,
for laying hens, so is sweet ensilage.
Bsets and carrots form a splendid win
ter rolish. while onions are popular
and exceedingly healthy. If fed in
moderation there is not the slighest
fear that the lust will affect the flavor
of the eggs.
The great value of all theso vegotable
foods lies not meroly in their power
to tempt the appetite, but in their
supplying the bulk necessary to thrift
and egg production ; iu mere nutritivo
qualities most of them are inferior to
the grain which they should supple
ment, not displace. Variety, too, is
an important feature which should
also be considered in supplyiug grain,
for a mixture of corn, oats, wheat,
buckwheat, barley, eto., will be found
to give better result! than where one
grain alone is used. New York

Filthy stalls cause thrush.
Level oa" colts' feet occasionally
with a rasp.
The horseless carriage often balks,
and balks bad.
The best "home made" harness oil
is pure neat's foot oil.
With good cultivation, at least IOC
bushels per acre should be grown.
Two hundred bushels per acre if
not an unusual yield, and 300 is often
produced.
Any intelligent farmer can grow
ripe luscious strawberries, ready foi
picking, at two cents a quart.
In preparing bees for winter the
best plan is to leave the combs as the
bees arrange them. They like to have
empty cells in the center of the brood
nest to cluster in.
Honey should be stored in drj
rooms. It will gather moisture and
even mould in u damp cellar; but i!
properly sealed and kept cool and dry,
it will keep for years.
In arranging the interior of youi
hen house mush room can be saved by
putting the nest boxes under the
perches, aud this will serve for the top
of the nests. Iu a small house this is
sometimes a great advantage.

A CHILD DRUNKABD
This Is bitter weather tor children to starvo
in. Yet two oases, and one even worse than
starving, wore culled to tho attention of the
authorities. But tho saddest ease of all was
that of Thomas Tiorney, twelve years old,
of No. 107 Tenth street, Jersey City. Tho
lad was found in a vacant lot at Twelfth
and Erie streets, that city, stupeflod with
drink. He was taken to the Secoud Preclnot
Station Uouse, and thero ho exhibited every
symptom of delirium tremens. Tho police
Burgeon was hurriedly sent for and gave tbo
ohlld medicine to quiet his nerves, and so
the danger passed away. Young Tlcrney
would not give the name of the dealer who
had supplied him with liquor. If he decides
later to name the man, altieens stand ready
to prosecute him to tha full extent of tbo
law. The boy was taken to the City Hos
pital, and the doctors think be will recover,
though It will take bis system a week or
more to reoover from the terriblo shock.

A HEW IDEA.
A Boston despatch tells of a new device
which liquor-sellers have to conceal their
evil doings. One of the oleverest devices
that bavo lutoly come to the notice of the po
lice was discovered on Wednesday at a South
Cove bouse. The polloe felt certain that tho
occupant of this bouse was dealing iu liquor
Illegally, and they searched the place re
peatedly, but failed to find any sulistantlal
signs of guilt. At last one man, while mak
ing a searoh at this house, happened to open
thedoorto an innocent-looking tall dock,
when, lo! a fauoet was reveuled to bis sight.
Ho turned the handle of the faucet, and beer
noweu from it freely. Teariug the olock
from the wall, he saw a pipe, which led him to
a cutely-covered hole in a durk cellar, where
several barrels of beer woro found. Chris

Bhepard Homuns, the well-known actuary,
long thePresidout of the Provident Life In

superstition. He says; "It is ray observa
tion that malt liquor, taken habitually by tho
moderate drinker, tends to increase mortal
ity, for it is a fact that tbe rate of mortality
is greater among tho Gormaus than among
our native American people." National

Tho rspeoial host and hostess were
Mrs. Dorsey Coalo's Angora cats,
Tiger and rhoehe Ann, and Mrs.
George U. Coalo's Tabithn. Tho last
mentioned waa chapernnod by Miss
JNellie liowisor, Mrs. lJorrey Coale
sister, who also lovoa cats. As a mark
of honor to the visitors tho homo
cats woro big Elizabethan rnffs of

After tho cats had become acquaint
ed they were shown a Christmas tree,
which was brilliantly lighted and hung
with imitation kittens and mice, little
jugs of milk and dainty baskets of raw
beef and boxes of catnip. These
dainties were distiibnted, and the cnts
commenced their enjoyment.
When tho visiting oats became sleepy
the hostesses were bundled off to bed,
the visitors wero returned to their
bags and carried off home. And so tho
cat party ended. New York World.
King of the .Moonshiner.
Tho king of tho North Alabama
moonshiners, Fred Walker, was can-
turod by revenue oftlocra a few nights
ago near Stevenson, Ala. For fifteen
years Walker has been a fugitive from
justice, and during that time he has
defeated dozens of attempts to capture
him, and has defied and taunted the
ofllcers, though he has lived in one
place all the time. The marshal who
headed the posse which finally cap
tured him had previously made
twenty-five unsuccessful attempts.
Walker was exceedingly popular
among mountain folk, aud they gave
him every assistance in evading arrest.
His cabin was on a cliff commanding
a view of tho country for fifteen miles
around, and either ho saw tho ofUccrs
or was warnod by signals from friends
of their approach. Tho officers finally
discovered the route by which he
usually rctrentod, nnd whilo ono party
went openly to his cabin tho other
lay in ambush along his path and
took him unawares. All tho mountain
eers fully boliove he will loon escape
from the authorities. New York Suu.

There Is more than one food

But to become fleshy, and yet

what you want. Cod-liver oil

it Is a fat-producing food. But
It does far more than this. It

One dny our friend happened to ob

with tbe latest prescription he had
received from his own physicliiu,
and in some surprise he stated tbti
case lo him. The family doctor,
after listening to what he bad to say,
replied: "Tbe case Is about ttil

how it has come about that this pre

that nine people out ol ten need

have no doubt that making it so easy
