The Leaping Spider. Science tells us that the leaping spider in its mode of hunting reminds one forcibly of the devices employed by the cat family. It will lie concealed within ?*s nest, watching with a long patience for the coming of its prey. When it appears tho spider creeps stealthily forth, approaching with the utmost caution, advancing, retreating, moving to the right or loft, as the insect moves, till near enough, when, jumping—usually tideways—it pounces with a sudden, tiger-like leap upon its victim, secures it, and then carries it away to eat at its leisure, or to preserve for future use, as necessity may urge or fancy dictate.

But tillage with manure is a safer rule, if you are after big and paying crops. Jn the same line of thought, science is a valuable aid to agriculture. But "science with practice" is the combination that must unlock the secrets that lead'to the highest agriculture and the most profit able farming.—American Agriculturist. DANGER II? PEAS. Peas will kill cattle. The reason is that the cattle eat them and then drink water. ' The peas swell and distend the stomach of the animals until they burst. There is nothing in the peas themselves; it is the swelling produced by the water. Dry corn acts in the qame waj. It has been suggested by competent agricultural authorities that the famous or infamous loco-wood, which is a variety of the pea family, m»y cause the death of animals which eat it in the same way. There is nothing harmful in the weed itself.— Courier-Journal. FEEDING VALUE OF BRAN. Bran, whether of wheat or rye, is of itself a perfect food, that is, it contains all the elements of animal nutrition, and in such proportions as are needed for every animal product, with the sole ex ception of sulphur. It is rich in bone caking materials, as lime and phosphoric acid, and bas a ratio of nitrogenous to carbo-hydrates exactly fitted for com plete nutrition. This is 5|- of the latter to one of the former. Its relative value as compared with othur foods in money is $1 per 100 pounds, and it has three per cent, of fat. But it is not quite so digestible as the whole grains from which it is derived. Consequently it should be fed with other kinds of food that are richer in starch and fat. Thus the best way of feeding it is when mixed in equal proportions with oatmeal, which ir better than any one of the oil meals. Four pounds of each of these two foods is a usual quantity for a day's feeding for a cow. For sheep, which require moie sulphur than other animals, on ac count of the quantity of this that is con tained in the fieece, some linseed meal may be added, and clover hay or roots, which, being rich in sulphur, may be fed with bran to advantuge.—New York Times. MAKE THE FARM BUILDINGS COMFORTABLE A farmer should never attempt to win ter more stock than he can furnish with comfortable shelter. Many farmers have large farm buildings but they soon get out of repair, a board off, a door hang ing by one hinge, or leaky roofs. Such buildings are not comfortable. The openings allow snow to continually sift in, or give free and uninterrupted access to drafts of cold air. ID sucb cases a pound of nails and a few hours' time in repairing often saves a ton of hay in one winter. A building which is simply boarded up should have the cracks bat tened and thus made as tight and close as possible. Use steel wire nails long enough to be clinched. This takes a little longer but the battens will then always remain cl(>se fitting, which means a warmer room and stock in better con dition with less fodder. The building should not be made so close as to be un comfortable during the pleasant days of spring, but there should be free and thorough ventilation when the higher temperature may require it. Fodder may be cheap, but nails and boards are cheaper, whereas feed is gone in a single season, while buildings are a permenent investment. Provide suitable racks and mangers to feed the stock from, and do not feed from the ground or snow bank. Keep the different kinds of stock in a separate inclosure. Feed regularly, and provide an adequate supply of fresh water.—American Agriculturist. m TEAMS IN WINTER. After the corn iB cribbed and the fall plowing-done there is not a great deal of team work to be done during the winter. There will be some feed to haul, more or less manure to haul out and Borne fuel to haul. Usually one team will do all that is necessary. It will be best to have this team well shod and well fed so that they can readily do what is required of them. It is always an item to keep them thrifty, feeding and groom ing well and regularly. It does not pay to allow any of them to run down, and while with those that are not at work it is always an item to winter as economi cally as possible, at tbe same time the eco nomical wintering should never be done at the expense of condition. Close con finement is not good for horses. They need exercise and they should be allowed to run out every day that the weather will permit. It may not be advisable to turn them out into the pastures, but they can have the run of a lot to good advan tage. If well sheltered and given plenty of roughness very little grain will be needed, but they should have some. Un threshed oats ryn through a feed cutter, with a small quantity of bran, makes one of the very best feeds for the idle teams in winter. But hay and corn fodder, with a little corn and bran, will make a good ration. Once a week give all the horses n bran mash. This will have a tendency to keep the bowels open and will serve aUo to make a vaiiety. • Never feed more of anything than they will eat up claan. Even with straw or corn fodder only what they will eat clean should be given. This is neces sary if they have a good appetite. Corn can neatly always bo fed with benofit when the tvci*h-r is very cold on account of its heating qualities. Use all reasonable cure to keep them comfort able, as in this way it is much easier to keep them thrifty. Whilo it is not nece»siry to feed tbe teams that arc not at work at much as those that are at work will need, yet it will pay at all times to supply enough to keep them thrifty,as in the end it will cost less than to allow them to run down and then be obliged to feed up before the season for work opens. The best way is to begin in qood season increas ing the rations as it may seem necessary, —fit. Louis Republic. WINTCn CARL OF LIVE STOCK. I If any of tho farm stock aro a little thin during tbe winter, they should re ceive extra attention and food. If aheep, separate those in poor flesh, or the old ones from the young, and feed according to their condition, for even if there is plenty of rack and trough room, the strong will crowd away the weak, and obtain the lion's share. If each is al lowed only the food actually needed, the results will be different. It does not look well to see a flock of sheep in whieh some are so feeble as to be hard ly able to rise alone, while others are plump and strong. Neither does it in dicate good management for a farmer to sell each year, during tbe spring, a hall dozen or more sheep pelts, taken from animals that died from neglect. It is worse than neglect to take the aheep from the pasture in the fall in good con dition, and in four or five months allow them to gradually fall away in flesh, and die. With old sheep that are allowed to become thin, it will require good management to bring them through alive, especially if they are to raise lambs. Those in this condition should have a liitle ground feed four or five times a day, and be so isolated that others will not crowd or worry them. Give bright clover hay, pure water, an occasional apple or potato and they will soon be in good condition. The cattle should have warm quarters at night, and spring calves should not be allowed with the older stock. Some cows that are very gentle and kind in tbe summer season, are very tyrannical in the winter season. If there are no accommodations to keep such ones isolated, they should certainly be de horned, or at least have the tips of their horns provided with knobs. In fact all cattle that arc confined should either be dehorned, or have their horns thus pro tected. The knobs prevent injury from hooking, improve their appearance, and cost but a few cents. If you do not do this, remove the tip end of the horn with a fine saw, rounding up with a sharp knife, but knobs should be at tached if possible. If the cattle are ouliged togo to the creek or pond for water, the approach should be carefully shoveled out, and if ice covers the sur face, it should be roughened so that tha cattle will not slip. This can be done in a cold day by throwing on snow, and dashing water on it, or cut in tbe sur face with an axe, as much stock is seriously injured each winter by slipping and straining while drinking. Wheu cattle are protected by an open shed, there is occasionally one animal so illy disposed, that all the rest are driven out from the shelter, and the others daro enter only when the boss if lying down. Either confine such a one separately or fit for market at the first opportunity. Nail up a small box somewhere under shelter, in which to keep salt at all times. This is better than simply salt ing them at odd times. Ry confining the cattle in stanchions during the night and allowing them to run at large during the day in pleasant weather, a full grown cow or steer can be kept in better condition on half a ton less of hay, than by the old out of door rough and tumble plan. Of course this makes a little more work, but the man ure, if piled up under shelter or drawn to the field during the winter, will well pay for the extra time; besides most farmers have leisure time duriug the winter season, aud may thus turn it into money. If possible never allow colts and horses to run loose with cattle. Colts, if they are kept in good condition, will certainty have their play spells and race the cattle about at a fearful rate. Un less cattle are dehorned, when penned up, they will use their horns in a dis astrous manner, and especially seem to have a grudge against horses, and will, if possible, injure them at the first op portunity. Colts should be halter broken, led about aud tied up during the day; treat them kindly so they willcomo to you at the call. This is easily taught them by giving a little sugar, corn, or other food, when they approach you. Use the curry comb freely on both oolts and horses, whether they are at work or not. It keeps the skin in a good healthy condition, and gives the stock a neat, trim appearance.—American Agricultur ist. FARM AND O ARC EN NOTES. No ventilation is as injurious to fowls as draughts. Young chickens have small crops and must be fed frequently. "Ivory" is considered one of the best of the white chrysanthemum!. It does not pay to raise onions on the same land for a succession of years. The "Mrs. W. C. Whitney rose" is rose colored and emits a delicate odor. The ger.inium is an excellent window bloomer aud requires comparatively lit tle care. Hens that arc kept quiet and tame will nearly alwjys make better layers and mothers. Ooe reason for hens not laying at this season is that th<>y are often too crowded in their quarters. Matly good authorities believe that fall calves can be better raised than spring ones, the argument being that calves coming now are kept in the barn and well fed, thus getting a good start to make the best of the grazing season next year. Saltpeter is an effective remedy to check tbe ravages of the cabbage Worm. Make quite a strong solution and sprinkle the plants. T>iis will kill the worms, and it will also prevent the butterfly from depositing its eggs on the plant*. Those who have decided to give their B took good feed and good care, this win ter should look tho stock over now, and decide which will not be likely to pay for them. Almost every farm has some "scallawags" on it that ought to bo called' out. It is an old adage that "no one is so far ffam market an he who has nothing to -8011." Aud observers havo often noticed that .tbe m«n most concerned about low prices were those who had grown pioor crops. The' wise farmer prows food crops and lets the market adjust itself.

KEEPING GERANIUMS IK WINTER. In its natural state the geranium is a plant which is never wholly at rest; it is, however, very amenable to treatment in cultivation and very patient under bad usage. Vick, in his illustrated monthly, says on the subject of keeping geraniums in winter: '•The proper treatment for bedded plants intended for another season's planting, after taking up and potting, is to stand them in a light place in a temperature secure from frost and yet not high enough to excite active growth. A very little water will be sufficient dur ing the cold season. When the weather becomes mild and the plants start to grow, regulate the growth and dispo sition of the branches and thus prepare them for planting at the proper season. But one may not have the facilities to care for the plants in this manner, and yet want to preserve them. A damp cel lar is not a suitable place and may cause them to mold and decay. "The plants when taken up can be placed in boxes, most of the foliage can be removed, the soil be mtde only a little damp; then place the box or boxes in a dry frost proof cellar where there will be some light. The.leaves will soon all fail. By the first of Mirch it will be best to place the boxes containing the plants in the window of a moderately warm room and give water and start the plants into growth." HOUR MADE BAUSAOKB. The present fashion of miking saus ages is to use casings of fine cotton cloth when they are not intended to be kept for a long timo. But as the cloth is not air-tight and the gut casings are, the latter aro used for the bologna sausages that nre intended for koeping. The large iutestines are selected for this purpose and turned inside out and well washed. They are then left in water a few days until t'ue lining membrane be comes soft and mty l>e scraped off, when the cleaned casing* are salted and kept in brine until used. The meat is finely chopped and seasoned with salt, pepper and any kind of spice 3 thought desirable, and the casings are filled solidly. The sausages are made about eighteen inches long, and are smoked in the usual way. The best European bologna' sausage* are made in this way: Equal parts of beef and pork are chopped and beaten fine in a mortar. The meat is then spread out and sprinkled with brown sugar and beaten again. It is then seasoned with two parts of salt and one of saltpetre, finely powdered, to which are added powdered mace, allspice, white pepper and bay leaves. The meat is roiled out flat, and thin strips of fat pork are laid on it in rows. The meat is then rolled and put into the casings, or may be sewn up in cloth, the ends being tied. They are then smoked. The best im ported sansagcs have one-half of the flesh of asses' fonls in them. It is claim3d that this addition gives a fine flavor and tenderness to the sausages.—New York Times. KECIPEB. Corn Griddle Cakes—Mix together two cups of cornmeal and a teaspoonful each of sugar and salt.

Soap Lake, in Douglas County, Wash ington, near the Columbia River mouth of the Grand Coulee, one mile in length and about one-fourth as wide, derives its name from the soapy appearance of the water.

Writing from St. Petersburg, our cor respondent says : A curious case comes up for trial in a Court of Second In stance next week, toe details of which an instructive The plaintiff, an lady took a strong fancy to a tiny lap-dog a few months ago, which she declared was the prettiest and funniest little creature she had ever set her eyes upon. The dealer, however, dampened her enthus ism by asking an exorbitant price for the animal, whose nimbleness and vivac ity were certain ly marvelous. A day or two latei the lady called again, deter mined to pay the extravagant price, but like the Roman king, when bidding for the books of the Sybil, her offer was refused and the price raised. She acted somewhat different from the pagan monarch, however, and paying the money, returned home with the coveted price. All her friends admired her new ac quisition, but both she and they agreed that it was somewhat queer that the animal should be continually slinking away into dark corners, and generally fighting shy of the light, while she had no more success in trying to tame it than if she bad tried her hand on a jaguar. The general conduct of the lap-dog was highly mysterious, but it was a mystery possessed ot a certain charm which rather added to its value than otherwise. They fed tho animal with the best of everything, and, one day, after it had partaken of a hearty meal, its mistress thought she heard an explosion. Look ing round, she missed her lap-dog, but in its place beheld an enormous rat standing on the dog's skin, in which it hitd been cunningly sewed up by the dishonest dealer. The case will now be heard by a Court of Second Instance in connection with the question of the amount of damages claimed by the plain tiff. The dealer alleges that he was de ceived himself, having purchased it for a lapdog.—London Telegraph. Stopping a Hiccough.

"Well, you are a chump," remarked the first speaker. "Come with me," and he led his friend into an adjoining re taurant and ordered a heaping spoonful of powdered sugar. "Come," he said, "swallow this all at once." The victim did so slowly, and found to his inte ise surprise and relief when the operation was completed that the hiccoughs had vanished. "Now," remarked the first gentleman, "for teaching jou that remedy I'll take just one cigar with you. It is not a part of the process, but it's worth the price, isn't it? As .for the sugar I have never known it to fail to cure even the most stubborn case of hiccoughs."—New York Herald. Moving n Huge Leni. The i>reat lens (weighing some two hundred and fifty pounds) of the Washington (D. C.) observatory was recently moved to the new station on Georgetown Heights, and was a veiy delicntc piece of work. The glass was packed in a special case wedged into place with folds of soft paper placed at regular intervals over its surface and allowing for expansion by heat, as in that case a tight fitting box might "pinch" the glass and change the per fect image which it now gives. This inner case was packed in the heavy hox with plenty of soft packing in between the two, and then loaded carefully upon a thick mattress in the bottom of a spring wagon. It was tied iu place with sev eral ropes and rolls of packing were wedged between the box and the edyes of the seat, and then, with three men sittiDg around it to prevent any possible slip, the wagon started off at a funereal pace, which was maintained till the precious case was fairly landed at the new station on the bill.—Washington Post. These are which Housekeepers Should * If you want the best food, you will.be interested in the following facts, which show why " Royal" is the best baking powder, why it makes the best and most wholesome food, and why its use has become almost universal its sale greater in this country than the sale of all other cream of tartar Silking powders combined. The Royal Baking Powder NEVER fails. It is absolutely pure and wholesome. It is combined from the most approved and healthfUl ingredients. It makes the finest flavored, most tender, delicious and wholesome food. "* It has greater leavening strength than any other baking powder, and is therefore the cheapest. It never loses its strength, but will keep fresh and of ft ill leavening power until used. It acts slowly in the dough, so that none of its strength is lost before the baking is completed. It makes food that will keep sweet, moist and fresh longer, or that may be eaten hot and fresh with impunity. The reasons why the Royal Baking Powder is superior to all others in these respects are easily stated. One is because it is made from chemically pure materials; another is because it is made with greater care and accuracy than any other. It is always uniform ia composition and leavening power.

Owing to the low price of wheat in South America, the exporters of Buenos Ay res are doing nothing, and the wheat is accumulating and being sold for local consumption. knowledge and skill attained by over a quarter of a century's experience is available in its present preparation. The consumer is not experimented upon by changes of formula that are constantly being made in other powders in an effort to get a mixture that will not " cake " or lose its strength, or that follow changes of proprietorship or manu facturers. The Royal Baking Powder is always certain and equal in its work; a teaspoonful does the same perfect work to-day that it did yesterday, or last week or month, or last year. While the last teaspoonful in a can of Royal is as good as the first, other powders lose their strength after being made a short time, and par ticularly after the can is opened. The exactness with which the active principle of each ingredient prior to mixing is ascertained by expert chemists; the actual prohibition enforced against the receipt into the works of an impure in gredient; the care with which the materials are dried, coated and prepared before their combina tion, and the precision in packing the powder so that it shall be delivered to the consumer in the perfect condition in which it leaves the factory, are some of the details which goto make the perfect" Royal." The same means are not employed by other manufacturers. There have been a great many imitations of the Royal, but no equals.
