The entire front may be made very ornamental, especially if brass hinges of an ornamental sort are used, a polished lock to correspond and perhaps heavy glass in each door. The upper or ice compartment is lined with galvanized iron sheeting. A one Inch lead pipe from the ice chest runs down to the sewer pipe or other means of drainage, of course being trapped below the refrigerator, as shown. The Ice compartment also has a door out side the building. By filling the ice compartment through a door outside the muss so often made of dragging lee through the house is obviated, con eludes a writer In American Cultivator. RAPE FOR FEED. As n Soiling Crop and For I'Hstnre. May He Sown Late. As ft green l'eed lor soiling—that is, cutting and feeding green—or for pas ture rape stands unequaled among crops suitable for swine. It should be sown in rows two feet apart on stub ble, fallow or well rotted sod at tho rate of three pounds per acre. It may be sown any time, as long as there re main six weeks of growing weather before severe frosts are to be expect ed. If intended to bo pastured the pigs should be turned in before the rape comes up to the top of their shoulders. No greater area should be given than they are likely to keep down to that height or lower. If not pastured or cut too close to the grouiia it will keep 011 growing as long as the growing season lasts. Greater returns may be expected from soiling than from pasturing a given area. Feed ing pigs will generally make more rapid gains when it is being fed to them in moderate quantities in pens than when at pasture on it. Breeding stock are likely to do better when tbey can ivse it as pasture. Feeding pigs receiving all the rape they will eat on rape pasture should receive somewhat less meal than they would If in their liens. From one-third to five-sixths of the regular ration should be fed; the more rapid the gain desired, of cours», the heavier the ration.—J. 11. Grisdale, Canada. PIK Sense. A farmer living down toward Ilar ward's had a most knowing pig which he sold to a Little Islander, who took his prize in a boat to his home at the Island. Safely shut up in the spacious pigpen was the new inmate of the family, and the farmer man went peacefully to rest, much content with his new purchase. In the morning the pen was empty and no littlo pig could be found 011 the island. Some t-ime afterward he went again to town and there saw the first owner of the lost one. "I've lost my pig." he gloomily announced. "I know It," chuckled his. friend. "He's down to my house; came back tho next morning." What bad that homesick little pig done but swum across two rivers—the Little Isla-nd riv er and the Kennebec—\\*ilked across Big Little Island, trotted happily down the two miles of road on the Richmond nhore and finally presented himself to liis old master footsore and hungry, but mighty glad to be homo once more. —Kennebec Journal. Imports. During the eleven months ending May last the United States imported 3,50(1,198.108 pounds of raw cane sugar, of which amount Cuba furnished 2,4.">4,9G3,404 pounds, or about '69 per cent. The Imports from the Philip pine Islands amounted to 63,772,887 DOUnds. WHEN TO PRUNE. I.ate Winter uud Knrly Spring Best. Cat Stub* Clone. The best time for pruning apple trees Is on warm days from January to May. More can be accomplished in the longer days of March, April and May, but many prefer to go through the orchard 011 the crust of a deep snow. The time of year when the cut is made has little effect on the readiness with which the wound heals, but more care Is necessary to prevent Injury to trees pruned when the wood is frozen. A wound made by removing a limb heals best if the cut is made close to the trunk or branch. A stub two or three Inches long does not heal and becomes a lodging place for spores of fungi and bacteria, which cause decay and death of the tree. The splitting down of large limbs may often be avoided when pruning by sawing in from the underside first, but in every case see that tbe wound is left clean and smooth. Wounds should be covered immedi ately with a coat of paint, shellac or grafting wax to keep out the moisture and tho spores before mentioned KILLING FARM POULTRY. 4 Practical Device l"or MnLlnc a Clean Cot. A useful article for those who have any poultry to kill Is the device shown in the illustration. Take a strip of iron one Inch by one-eighth of an inch and thirty inches long, such as an old buggy tire, and bend In the center, so that the straps come parallel, leaving a slot In the center the thickness of the blade. For the blade any sheet of steel three inches wide auq nine Inches long 011 i°ljLwn 1 I - , I flattened out, for ipsftnce. The ends of the blade can be beveled J squared, as shown by dotted lines In Fijr. 1. Fit the two parts together, FIG i w FOR KILLINO POCLTEY. drill holes (A A) about two inches from each end ami fasten with soft iron or copper rivets. A piece of the same material as the straps* can now be cut equal to the remaining lengths of the slot, holes drilled at 1! 11. about one inch frpm each end and riveted as before. Drill a hole at C for hanging up, sharpen well, *and the tool is ready for use. spikes en a slant about an inch apart into a block (see Fig. 2) anil place the chicken's neck between them. In tills way the neck can be nicely stretched, and a combi nation of the two ideas will save both time and trouble, says a reader of Farm and Fireside. Compost!hk Vnnuro. In intensive farming, truck growing and tiie like composting is still in vogue, but human labor is now so ex pensive that manure ought to be han dled as liftle as possible, which means that it ought to" go as directly as pos sible from the stable to the field. For the sake of the animals it ought not to be piled close to the stable. It costs too much to haul it twice —once to some compost heap and then away. Lime should never be added to ma nure heaps. This rule is Invariable. Gypsum may be used in the stables or spread on the tops of manure piles. Untreated rock phosphate maybe mix ed with the manure with good results. r.etter apply the-piauure directly to the laud where that method is possi ble. Use good judgment in piling the manure not to allow too much air to circulate through tire pile. Tack rath er than pile loosely. On laud to be sown with corn or rye by all means spread the manure directly from the stable. Add neither liine nor potush.— professor Smith in Country Gentle man. Apple 'limber. In imrts of Michigan large quantities of apple wood logs are cut and sold for saw handles, says an exchange. Apple timber Is liartl, tough and without much grain, and once It is shaped it seldom splits or Shreds. No other lum ber is so well fitted for saw*handles. The supply in Michigan comes in short logs six or eight feet long from aban doned orchards. Farm Brevities. Never pasture the alfalfa the first year. A healthy flock of sheep is a profita ble flock. Dragging the roads will make them less (lusty. .Mutton eaters are increasing faster than mutton. Weeds and poor seed cause many of the alfalfa failures. You can't afford to have a clock wattther for a hired man. There is such a thing as compelling success to come your way. Alftlfa can be raised in Maine. How about its winter killing in Iowa? Soil that has been well cultivated and fertilized seldom needs inoculat ing. Ordinary farm work is considered un skilled labor, but it requires skill to do farm worK For permanent pasture sow every kind of grass that is known to do well in your *»ectiou. Kimball's Dairy Farmer. AN ANCIENT PYRAMID. Storj" of "Iho Tomb of the Christian" in Algeria. The tomb of the Christian in Algeria is a pyramid on (he summit of a hill more than 700 feet high, at the edge of the sea. It dates back to before the time of St. l'aul, having been built by order of Juba 11., the king of Maure tania, as a burying place for himself and his wife, Cleopatra, the daughter of Cleopatra and Mark Antony. The only daughter of Juba and his wife was I)nisi 11a, who married Festus, the governor of Judaea in the time of St. l'aul. The tomb can be entered by a low doorway beneath one of the four false doors. These have moldings on them of a cruciform shape and may account for the title, "The Tomb of the Christian." The passage within the pyramid winds round and eventually leads to two chambers sh-ut off from it by folding doors, which can be moved up nnd down by levers. The tomb must have been rifled of ail it contain ed centuries ago, though some tliink that by excavating in a downward di rection it might still be possible to dis cover the burying place of the king and queen, supposing the two cham bers, like the false doors outside, to be a blind. Doubtless the y«uuger Cleopatra had brought the idea of making a royal mausoleum in the shape of a pyramid from Egypt. Por tions of a marble statue of Egyptian design were found at Cherchel, sug gesting that an Egyptian «olony may once "have existed there. There are two other similar monuments in Al geria, in the provinces of Oran and Constantlne respectively, the latter be ing considerably older than tlie tomb of the Christian, which, however, is the only one referred to in ancient writings.—Autocar. THE ELDER TREE. Once Held In lliuli Esteem at a Care Far Kpllepsy. Although tradition tells us that It was on an elder tree that Judts hang ed himself, great virtue has lonj been attributed to it as a cure for epilepsy. The origin of this belief may be lound in the following quotation from au old book of charms: "In tiie month of October, a little before full moon, pluck a twig of elder and cut the cane that is between two of its knees, or knots, in nine pieces. Bind these pieces in a piece of linen, hang this by a thread a bout the neck so that they touch the spoon of the heart, or the sword formed cartilage, and that they may more firmly stay in their place bind them thereon with a linen or silken roller wrapped around the body till the thread break of itself. The thread being broken and the roller removed the charm is not to be touch ed at all with the bare hands, but should b" taken lioid of by some in strument and buried in a place that nobody may touch it." Of course unless the instructions were followed strictly a < miplete cure couhl not be assured. There is another superstition about the elder which doubtless ii'.s «.ived many a boy a stout caning—namely, that it hinders a child's growth if used as an instru ment of punishment.
