; Horticulture at the World's Fair.
Chief Samuels values plants at present
on hand at the World's Fair grounds in
Chicago at 1200,000, and ha is credited
with declaring that the collection of
large decorative plants has not its equal
in the United States. The giant ferns
from Japan and Australia, grouped in
the center of the rotunda, have devel
oped their fronds, increasing rapidly in
circumference. The rotunda contains
also a number of Japanese maples, a pine
200 years old, cinnamon trees, etc. This
exhibit is rapidly increased by new con
signments arriving almost daily.
In the greenhouse are nearly four thou
sand primroses grown from seed sent
from Italy, Germany, France, Great
Britain and the United States. Of pan
sies Germany and Franco have made
special exhibits, also Belgium and Hol
land. Another greenhouse division con
tains thousands of Persian violets and
South American orchids - among the lat
ter are rare cow's horn from Costa Rica.
In connection with the horticultural ex
hibit 40,000 hardy roses have been
planted on the wooded island and 40,-
000 more of tender varieties are prom
ised for next summer.—New York

What a Cop or Chocolate Caa Do.
An enthuriastic lover of chocolate af
firms that for those who wish to keep
the imagination fresh and vigorous choc
olate is the beverage of beverages. How
ever copiously you have lunched a cup
of chocolate immediately afterwards will
produce digestion three hours after and
prepare the way for a good dinner. It
is recommended to every one who devotes
to brain-work the hours he could pass
in bed; to every wit who finds he has
become suddenly dull; to all who ind
the air damp, the time long and the at
mosphere insupportable; and, above all,
to those who, tormented with a fixed
idea, have lost their freedom of thought.

Why They Are Speckled.
Charley Wilcox was in the burg the
other day exercising hiß team of speckled
colts. The way the animals happened
to be speckled happened ia this way:
While their mother was at Hat Creek
drinking, one day, she was seized by
the lip by a trout weighing at least
twenty pounds. The fish had to be
killed with an ax before it would release
its hold and when the twin coifs were
born they were speckled like trout.
They, are an extra fine team and are
peculiarly fend of water.—Burney Valley
(Cal.) Bulletin.
An Expert'* Opinion.
Our renders have doubtless noticed tbs
numerous discussions by the scientists and
hygienists as to the relative value of the
various baking powders. A careful sifting
of the evidence leaves no doubt as to the
superiority of the Royal Baking Powder in
purity, wholesomeuess and strength, from
a scientific standpoint. An opinion, how
ever, that will have perhaps greater influ
ence with our practical housekeepers, is that
given by Marion Harland, the well known
and popular writer, up->n matters pertain
ing to the science of domestic economy, of
housekeeping, and of home cooking. In a
letter published in the Philadelphia Ladies'
Home Journal, this writer says:
"I regard the Royal Baking Powder as
the best manufactured and in the market
to far as I have any experience in the use of
such compound*. 'Sinoe the introduction of
it into my kitchen 1 have used no other in
making biscuits, cakes, etc., and hare en
tirely discarded for such purposes tbe home
made combination of one-third soda, two
thirds cream of tartar.
"Every box haa been in perfect condition
when it came into my hands, and the con
tents have given complete satisfaction. It
Js an act of simple justice, and also a pleas
ure, to recommend it unqualifiedly to Amer
ican housewives. MARIOS HARLAND."
Horseflesh For Food.
In Europe, where the horse is every
year more used as human food, the ani
mals are not allowed to become a mats of
•kin and jagged bones, as old horses of
ten do heTe. They are fattened, and
sven an old horse can be made quite fat
if given succulent food mixed with
ground grain. It is no more difficult to
fatten an old horse than it is to fatten an

LAKD PLASTER FOR STABLES.
Professor Dean, of the Ontario Agri
cultural College, says on the subject of
land plaster in stables: "We use con
stantly on our floors a liberal quantity of
land plaster or gypsum, which has three
effects: (1) It fixes the ammonia and
makes the manure inere valuable. (2)
It sweetens the stable, absorbing baa
odors. (3) It gives the stable a better
appearance and looks neat and tidy. In
fact, an hour after our cows are turned
out you would scarcely know that a cow
had been in. This is accomplished by a
liberal use of plaster acd whitewash.
Both are cheap."
800T TBA FOR PLANTS.
One of the best fertilizers for pot
plants is soot. It not only nourishes the
plant, but keeps the soil sweet, will
destroy all worms and insects, and even
rout the green fly. It is best used in a
liquid form. One tablespoon ful of soot
to two quarts of warm water is a simple
way of making the tea. If one desires
to make it in larger quantities, put into
a vessel holding fifteen gallons of water
a half peck of soot, and stir twice a day
for a week. Probably the better way is
to tie the soot securely in a coarse bag,
which is large enough to let the soot
swell and move about inside it. Throw
the bag into the water and allow it to
soak, moving it about occasionally, or
pressing it with a stick to extract the
strength. As the water is used out fresh
can be added as long as any soot remains.
Give the plants light doses of the tea
once or twice a week. Dilute if too
strong, because if used in too thick a
state it will make the surface soil too
hard and dry.
Soot mixed with twice its bulk of dry
earth may be used for a top dressing in
the garden with good results.—New
York World.
BLASTING STUMPS.
The reasonable prejudice against the
common use of dynamite for any kind of
work on a farm, or by inexperienced per
sons, makes it desirable to use the com
mon blAck powder for such purposes.
This is not really so safe as the dynamite
when in the hands of experts, but safer
otherwise, and persons generally under
stand it better. To break up stumps
with blasting powder proceed as follows:
Bore a hole inches wide into the
centre of the stump in such a direction
as to reach the middle of it near the
root; charge it in the usual manner,
using plenty of powder, oue foot in
depth at least for a large stump; pro
cure a screw with a hole through it for
the fuse, and a square head by which it
may be screwed down onto the powder.
Fire the fuse, and the stump will be
shattered so that it can easily be taken
out in pieces. A lookout for the screw
should be made when the explosion takes
place, and it may be picked up and used
again. It may be well to put some dry
sand on the powder under the screw. It
is most often the case that the screw le
mains in the wood and can be split out
of it.—New York Times.
HO ~rr TO CHEAPEN FEEDS.
The prices of feed bid fair to be high
the coming winter, and such will con
tinue to be the case every winter, as long
as there is such a tremendous demand
for all sorts of millstuffs, on the part of
dairy farmers, all over this broad land.
The dairymen are all right in their ideas
of feeding well, but they are all wrong
in not growing more of their own feed.
Wheat is way down to the lowest notch
we have seen in thirty years, and bran
climbing up in price every day. We are
not certain but those farmers who are
well situated to do it had better buy the
wheat by the car load and get it ground
at the custom mill, and feed the bran
and middlings, selling the flour for what
they can realize.
If we were in Northern Dakota or
Minnesota we would not sell wheat at
fifty cents a bushel, if we had good cows
to feed it to, and butter thirty-one cents
a pound in Chicago. We believe there
are four pounds of butter in a bushel of
wheat fed to a good cow, with good
roughage in addition. Bnt whether in
the Dakotas or New York, everywhere
the dairy farmer is at the mercy of the
feed vender. This would not be so if
the majority set seriously to work to
produce their own feed, in some form or
other. The mischief is, the most of far
mers stop feed when prices of feed go
high, no matter what the price of butter
is. What a lot of education we all do
need on this feed question. There is so
little real figuring—so little really studied
out by the dairy farmers by which they
can figure. The way to bring down the
price of feed stuft is for more farmers to
go at growing peas and silage corn. Not
one man in a thousand knows what he
could do if he should try.—Hoard's
Dairyman.
TO KEEP BUTTER.
To keep batter several months it Is
necessary that the butter be perfectly
well made and be completely freed from
all traces of the buttermilk, or this will
quickly spoil it. It must then be packed
without delay in air-proof packages; a
glazed crock or jar is a good package,
or a new, clean white oak or spruce tub,
with a tight-fitting cover. This is first
soaked with water and a little soda to
remove any acid of the wood. It is then
well scalded and soaked with salt brine.
Then it is rinsed with pure cold water
and sprinkled with fine salt on the in
side . The butter is then packed in sol
idly, each layer of four inches being well
packed, to leave no ail spaces, and
sprinkled with fine salt. Then another
layer is packed in the same way, and so
on until the tub is full. A clean cover
of cotton cloth is laid over the top of
the butter; this is covered with fine dry
salt, and the cover is fastened down.
Care is to be taken to exclude air by
covering and packing under the cover.
The tub is then kept in a clean, dry,
airy place where no disagreeable smells
may affect it. Good butter thus packed
may be kept foi six or eight months
without the least deterioration. The
Jersey cows make good butter, which
has a high color, and some of them make
a good deal of it, but the best are too
costly for common use. A good, well
fed Ayrshire oow is as good for butter
as a Jersey for a working dairy. Some
Durham or short-horn cows are good
butter makers, and a good judge of
cows might get a dairy of the common
stock that would be very good if well
selected. The best common cow is a
half-bred Jersey having a good common
daqj and a pure sire. Some of these
are as good as the pure bred.
PARK AND GARDEN NOTES.
Dead dogs kill no sheep.
Quack grass loves a poor farmer
It's a poor "brace" that breaks a
trace.
A drained acre of land is equal to re
moving one hundred miles south.
Two beeves can never be made fat on
a pasture that has only grass enough for
one.
Keep studying and experimenting if
you do not want to be left behiud the
times.
Many men in the dairying business are
ignorant on many of the most important
points.
Store carrots in pits or cellars, and
cover the roots with sand to prevent
them from wilting.
If it is possible have the heifer calf
come into the dairy at twenty-six or
twenty-eight months old.
Mow the weeds in your pasture land
four or five times a year and you will be
free from them in a few years.
In fattening rapidly, close quarters,
cleanliness, a small amount of light, and
plenty of fat farming foods will soon tell
the story.
At this time it is safe to keep a few
more fowls than are actually needed for
breeding in order to be secure against
ordinary accidents.
If celery is putin the cellar some earth
should be left on the roots. The rooti
should be kept moist, and the tops dry
and free from frost.
Start beds of mushrooms under green
house benches. Cover spinach lightly
with litter, and kale in exposed loca
tions should also be covered.
When the weather is mild in winter,
lettuce in frames need all the air you can
give them, othctwise they will be so ten
der that the least frost will kill them.
The principal difSculty in keeping late
chickens growing is lack of warmth. If
they can be kept comfortable it is com
paratively easy to keep them gaining.
Ducks, young or old, do not thrive
well on a grain diet. They need more
bulky food. Bran, grass, middlings and
food of this kiud are better than grain.
While as a general rule old hens are
unprofitable, it is sometimes advisable to
keep them, especially when they have
proved themselves to be good mothers.
All business men take note of the con
stant changes in the taste of their cus
tomers and in the demand for certain
kinds of goods. Farmers should do the
same.
To grow an orchard successfully have
the ground in a good state of cultivation
for several years. Before planting plow
deep, and if a subsoil be used all the
better.
E. D. Eastman, of Rochester, N. Y.,
feeds 120 cows for nine and a half cents
each day by means of tho silo. He con
siders silage and cotton-seed meal a per
fect ration.
No man need think of succeeding in
keeping cows unless he is willing to give
his attention to it, and care at least for
the comfort of his cows as he does for
his own comfort.
While kerosene is an irritant, crude
petroleum makes a good liniment. It
will kill every louse it touches. Use
kerosene on the roots and in nests and
petroleum on the chicks.
Cabbages in cold frames should be
aired freely and kept cool. Heads for
winter and spring use must now. be pro
tected!, but not covered too deeply, nor
stored in too warm a place.
Because occasionally a crossbred fowl
presents a flue appearance one is tempted
to think it a good plan to breed them,
but this is a mistake. The best results
are secured by keeping the breeds pure.
In the management of fattening it is
much better to have fowls eager and
hungry for their food, so that they will
hunt and scratch for something to eat,
rather than to have them lazy and list
less.
In most cases, even when tho poultry
is given a good range, it will be found
advisable to have a close yard where, at
any time it may be considered advisable,
more or less of the poultry can be con
fined.
It takes time to increase a cow's
capacity for milk when feeding for that
purpose. A cow giving 150 pounds of
milk a year cannot be made to give 300
pounds immediately. The change is
gradually made.
Some of the larger breeds of poultry
are best in small towns or villages where
it is desirable to allow them the range
of your own premises, but not to bother
the neighbors. The larger breeds are
easier to restrain.
A few carrots given daily to the horses
and cows will be considered a luxury by
them, and the carrots will greatly benefit
them. One of the best modes of pro
viding a natural butter color for the
butter is to use carrots for the cows.
To get milk—to get the most and the
best milk—the bodily comfort of the
cow must be considered and ministered
to. The comfort, the ease, the perfect
rest of the cow must be studied if she be
expected to yield to the extent of her
powers.
Mixing pyrethrum with four or five
parts of flour makes a good insecticide
to dust over the foliage of plants, and
a cure recommended for the green fly,
cabbage maggot, and all belonging to
this class is one ounce muriate of potash
in one pint of water.
Au old farmer says that rose bugs
"will uot go upon a plant they cannot
see through." lo prove it he shows
vines and bushes trained against walls
or buildings, left unharmed, while
those standing in an open field had theu
buds completely devoured.
HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS.
LEMON JUICE VS. VINEGAR.
Lemon juice is far more refreshing and
healthful than vinegar in preparing cold*
slaw; and it is the same with sliced toma
toes. The tomatoes npe and sliced,
with salt between and fairly drenched iu
lemon juice, make a most delicious rel
ish. Very hot water—about half a cup
—with the juice of a lemon and a trifle
of salt added will prove a new and agree
able substitute for cold and sweetened
lemonade when winter is fairly with us.
The glass cone-like "squeezers," made
to fit a tumbler, now in use, aid in mak
ing these lemonades.—New York World.
A MICK WAT TO COOK 8008.
Egg cutlets make a delightful dish
for lunch or supper. To make them
season half a pint of good white sauce
with salt and cayenne, add" io'it the
yolks of two raw eggs, and stir it all
over the fire till it thickens, but without
boiling; then tammy it, or run it
through a hair sieve. Boil four eggs
hard and cut them into dice with a wet
knife; add to them a teaspoonful of
ham or tongue, a couple of mushrooms
cut up and a teaspoonful of washed,
dried and finely minced parsley; mix all
these together into the thickened sauce
and let it all get cold. Now flour a
board or a large flat dish and put on it
little lumps of the mixture; roll these
in a ball with your floured hands, then
flatten them into cutlet shape with a
broad or palette knife, dip them in egg
and bread crumbs and fry in plenty of
bailing fat for three or four minutes till
of a pretty golden color, drain them
well, dish ea couronne, g&rniihed with
fried parsley and pile up the centre with
broiled or fried mushrooms.—New York
Journal.
AN OLD FASHIONED DAINTT AGAIN.
The old crystalized •range-pool, a
home-made confection in which our
grandmothers delighted, is now to be
found at some of there tail shops. The
best oranges for this purpose are the
Mediterranean and sweet-rinded Valen
cias. It would be a waste of time and
material to attempt to crystalize the
flavorless Florida orange-peel. As only
the rind is used in this candy, the pulp
and juice may be utilized for some other
purpose.
Put the peel in cold water and set it
away for at least nine days. Then scald
it up in the water in which it has been
soaking. It must be kept while it is
soaking in a cold place, but not where it
will freeze. When it has been thor
oughly soaked boil it till it is tender,
drain it out of this water, dry it with
cloths and cut it into long strips of uni
form size. Make a thick syrup, in the
proportion of a pint of sugar to a pint
of water. When this syrup has boiled
ten minutes put the peel in it and let in
boil down slowly until it begins to
shrivel and tno syrup is reduced to a
rather soft candy. This can be ascer
tained by testing the syrup. When il
forms a soft, creamy ball between the
fingers it has cooked enough. Drain th<
peel out, spread it on greased papers,
taking care that the strips do not touch
each other. When they are thoroughly
dried make them into little sheaves,
tying them around the centre with a
narrow ribbon of white satin or pale
orange color. They look very pretty
piled on a low bonbon dish.—New York
Tribune.
HOUSEHOLD HINTS.
Use a small, soft sponge to apply the
blacking to a store.
Tannin mixed with mutton tallow it
good for chapped haad9.
To clean a brown porcelain kettle,
boil peeled potatoes in it.
Put a toaspoonful of salt into a kero
sene lamp once in a while.
Remove iron rust from marbles by
rubbing with lemon juice.
To purify a room of unpleasant odors)
burn vinegar, rosin or sugar.
In using hard water for washing
dishes put into it a little milk.
A good-sized sponge is nice for clean
ing paint and washing windows.
A paste made of equal parts of lard
and powdered chalk will cure corns.
A large, soft sponge, either dry or
slightly dampened, makes a good duster.
If an artery is cut, compress it be
tween the wound and the heart; if a
vein is cut, compress beyond.
To cure cholera in chickens, put assa
foetida in the water they drink and
allow them to pick at coal ashes.
The round point of a lead pencil is a
good thing with which to remove a
speck of any kind from the eye.
Throw a quantity of salt in the stove
if the chimney is on tire and there is
danger from sparks; it not, let it burn.
Nitre is excellent for a cold, especially
a feverish one. Use ten drops to a tea
spoonful, according to age, once in four
honrs.
A bottle of flexible collodion is very
useful for cracks in the hands, scratches,
cuts, etc. Care must be taken to keep
it well protected from the air.
Newspapers wet thoroughly and crum
pled up are excellent to sweep • carpet
with, making it look bright and with
far lesi trouble than it is to wipe it with
a damp cloth.
To clean paint, add to two quarts of
hot water two tablespoonfuls of turpen
tine and one of skimmed milk, and only
soap enough to make suds, and it will
clean and give a luster.
Tar or paint may be removed by first
applying oil of some kind or lard; then,
after scraping off the loosened sub
stances, apply a mixture of turpentine
and benzine, and at the last use benzine
alone.
A coat of gum copal varnish applied
to the soles of boots and shoes, and re
peated until the pores are filled and the
surface shines like polished mahogany
will render them water proof, and they
will last three times a 9 long.
Tall Men.
Turner, the naturalist, declared that
he once saw upon the coast of Brazil a
race of gigantic savages, one of whom
was twelve feet in height. M. Thevet,
of France, in his description of America,
published at Paris in 1675, asserted that
he saw and measured the skeleton of a
South American which was eleven feet
five inches in length.
The Chinese are said to (jlaim that in
the last century there wese men in their
country who measured fifteen f«et in
height. Josephus mentioned the case
of a Hebrew who was ten feet two inches
in height.—Siftinga,

"The natives of Southeastern Alaska,"

Alsska, to the Star representative, "are
rapidly falling into the customs of
Americans, particularly as to their 'dreaa,
some of the better class of natives dress
ing even better than the American resi
dents. It was formerly the custom in
Southeastern Alaska for the women to
wear a 'labret' or short piece of bone or
steel in their lower lip by way of orna

the old women. Along the Bering Sea the
men thus puncture their lips. They
begin with a small piece of steel or bone
no larger than a needle and gradually
increase the size until it measures nearly
an inch in diameter. The bigger the

How a Snake Swallows a Frog.
The method of swallowing is a very
simple one, although, if the frog be
large, more than half an hour may be
consumed in the process, two
bones of the lower jaw are separate and
capable of independent movement; so
the reptile loosens it hold upon one side
of its jaw, and, pushing that side for
ward as far as possible, it drives the
teeth in again, and then draws the jaw
back to its original position. The re
sult is that the prey is drawn down by
the movement. The process is then re
peated by the other half of the jaw, thus
inevitably forcing the victim inward.
The make's skla stretches enormously,
and the jaw is, of course, dislocated,
but the extensiblo ligaments hold the
bones together. The disproportion be
tween the diameter of the frog and the
serpent's slender neck is indeed marvel
ous, and snakes have been observed to
split themselves open by attempting too
ambitious a mouthful. After perhaps
half an hour of laborious contortions,
all that isteen of the poor frog is a great
swelling that the contracting muscles
are rapidly forcing down the reptile's
neck. If one liberates the captured frog
before it is too late, the wretched animal
often seems so overcome by fear, or per
haps stupefied by the serpent's suliva,
that it will not leap, b'U crawls in a
painful manner. We must not allow
ourselves to be duped into a mistaken
sympathy, however, for such is the
poetic justice of the case. Large frogs
esteem small snakes a particular dclicaCy.

it, or~ approaches it in leavening strength, purity, or
wholesomenessT ~-(See U. S. Govt Reports.) No other
is made from cream of tartsr-specially refined for it and
chemically pure. No other makes such- light, sweet,
finely-flavored, and wholesome food. No other will
maintain its strength without loss until used, or will
make bread or cake that will keep fresh so long, or
that can be eaten hot with impunity, even by dyspeptics.
No other is so economical.
The Baking Powders now being offered in this
vicinity, with the statement that they are "as good as
Royal," have been shown by the official analyses to be
composed of alum and detrimental to health.
The official chemists of the United States and Can
ada, State analysts, municipal boards of health, and
physicians indorse the great qualities of the Royal
Baking Powder.

Few "Kid" Gloves are Made of KI4.
Kid ploves are not made of kid; in
fact, few of the:u are. The cheap ones
are not kid and neither are the dearest
ones. L-uiics 1 gloves that cost under a
dollar and a half or two dollars a pair
are all made of lamb skin. It is likely
that gloves paid for at a higher prioe
than that will be of kid, but the vory
best and most expensive kid gloves are
made of the skins of young colts.—New
