Electricity on the Farm.
/ An interesting example of electricity
ns applied to farm work is now in
operation at ft Scotch farm. The whole
of the usual farm machinery, such as
threshing, sowing, corn threshing and
the like, are here driven by an electric
motor. The electricity is generated
by water power, the turbine wheel
which drives the dynamo being about
1000 yards from the farm. The electric
current is conveyed l>y underground
■wires to the house and farm, in each
of which a storage battery is placed.
These supply the electric current for
lighting and motive purposes when
the machinery is not working. Tho
whole of the mansion is illuminated
by electric light, and nn electric motor
is provided for pumping tho water for
domestic purposes.—New York World.

LOSS OF FEATHERS FROM HENS.
As hens in confinement often acquire
a habit of pulling feathers from each
other's heads and necks, the loss of
feathers is probably duo to this cause;
otherwise it is duo to somo disease
which may result from too free feed
ing with grain. Tho fowls should be
watched, and if it is not caused by tho
mutual picking of each other, tho
feed should bo changed and more fresh,
green food, as cabbage leaves, cut
grass, or clover, or chopped lettuce
nnd pea vines, be fed to them. A mess
of scalded bran with a little sulphur in
it will be good for tho fowls.—New
York Times.
TREATMENT OF INJURIOUS INSECTS.
In general, noxious insects must bo
combated as soon as their depreda
tions can be seen, but Herbert Osborn
and L. H. Pamrnel of the lowa sta
tion, recommend that as soon as blos
soms fall, apples and plums should bo
sprayod for codling moth and plum
curculio. Spray strawberry plants if
infested with slugs. In early summer,
plant lice may be numerous on plums
and cherries, which should bo sprayed
with kerosene emulsion. In July, spray
potatoes with London purple or Paris
green, if infested with potato beetles.
In August and September, cabbage
worms may begin to appear, and can
be treated by spraj-ing with hot water,
or with pyrethrum in water, or as a
powder. Cherry slugs and the leaf
eating caterpillars and other insects on
plums aud other trees may be sprayed
with London purple. Kerosene emul
sion may be used directly on tho in
sects, and will kill all it touches by en
tering tho breathing pores.—American
Agriculturist.
OFF COLOR OF CHICKS.
If you procured eggs of fmre-bred
fowls, and the chicks seem to differ and
appear of various colors, do not be dis
appointed, as the chicks will be of the
proper color when matured. Of the
black breeds of fowls, such as the Lang
shans, Black Minocras and Black Span
ish, tho chicks nearly always have a
large proportion of white on them when
hatched. It is an old saying that the
more white on the chicks of such breeds
tho blacker the plumage at maturity.
Wo have often noticed broods of
Wyandottes or Indian game chicks, no
two in the broods being alike, and dif
fering so greatly as to lead an inex
perienced person to suppose that the
chicks wero mongrels; yet when they
camo to maturity it was a difficult mat
ter to select tho best one in the flock,
so far as the plumage was concerned.
Brahmas, Cochins, Plymouth Rocks
and other breeds may also be classed
among the uncertainties until tho chicks
are well advanced, and for that reason
breeders often receive complaints from
customers in regard to their hatches;
but tho breeders simply advise them
to wait a while, when the matter rights
itself.—Mirror and Farmer.
HOW TO MAKE CHEESE AT nOME.
Have a tinman solder a faucet near
tho bottom of one end of an ordinary
tin wash boiler which will hold five or
six pailfuls. Fit a movable tin screen
inside about three inches from the
faucet and extending about the same
distance above it, which shall hold the
curd away from the faucet. This, with
a long wooden paddle, is all you need
order especially for the work, except
cheese cloth, rennet and a cheese
press.
Six pailfuls of sweet milk, with the
cream all in it, will make about fifteen
pounds of cheese. It need not be of
one milking if it is perfectly sweet.
Put the milk in the boiler on the stove
and heat it to eighty degrees. Remove
from the stove and add the rennet.
The tablets are easiest to use and the
directions accompany them. When
the milk has coagulated, which will
take place in ton minutes or less, it
must bo cut to the bottom of the boiler
each way, making about two inch
squares. The whey will begin to start
almost at once. Sink a small dipper
into it slowly, and the whey may be
removed gradually until two quarts or
more have been collected. Heat this
rather hot, not scalding, and pour it
over the curd, stirring it very caro
fully. When at 100 degrees open tho
faucet and allow the whey to drain
out, dipping it out from the top as be
fore described. When drained, sprinkle
half a teacupful of dairy salt on the
curd and crumble and mix it thor
oughly with the hands. Have a square
of strong, loosely woven cloth wet and
placed in the cheese hoop, which
should be the size of a peck measure.
Press the curd into the hoop, adjust
the cover, after the cloth has been
folded on the top of the curd, and sub
mit the cheese to gentle pressure.
Prepare a bandage of cheese cloth
large enough togo around the cheese
and wide enough to nearly cover the
ends. Lay on the ends another piece
and sew to the piece around the
cheese. Keep at seventy degrees in a
dry room. Too much salt or too much
scalding when heat ing the curd hardens
the cheese, while careless stirring
starts the "white whey" and allows
much of the butter fats to escape.
New England Homestead.
PROFIT IN PORK.
With pork at its present price, al
most any man can feed his corn, or
other £rain, to pigs and make a satis
factory profit, declares S. Woodward,
of New York. But times will change;
pork will again go down until it will
tie so low that the very best skill will
be required to get any profit out of its
growth. If it be wise, now in the
midst of almost universal peace, for
the Nations to spend such vast sums as
they do, in preparing for war, how
much wiser for the farmer during this
time of prosperity in pig growing to
study the subject so as to be prepared
when the evil days of low prices come
again. It is surprising to see how
little thought the average pig grower
gives to the matter of cheap produc
tion of pork. Although there is some
ohangc in the direction of killing
lighter pigs, yet the great bulk of the
pork still coming into tho markets is
in heavy carcasses which were fed
mostly on corn. Now this is neither
the most desirable, nor is it by any
means tho most profitable pork.
On a recent visit to tho Wisconsin
Experiment Station at Madison, Pro
fessor W. A. Henry, who is a born ex
perimenter, showed me some experi
ments now being made, and the un
published results of some alreadj- mado
on the same line of pig feeding for
most profit. If the farmers could see
what I saw, and realize fully the great
importance of the principles that con
trol animal life, and then follow them,
they would save very much of what is
now ignorantly thrown away, and
would more than double the profits of
pork making, by reducing to its lowest
limit the amount of food now used as a
maintenance ration or simply food for
support.
The Professor has <\emonstrated,
beyond doubt, by a series of careful
experiments, that tho maintenance ra
tion is in equal proportion to live
weight, or nearly so ; that while a 100-
pound pig requires one and one-half
pounds of food (one pound of wheat
middlings and two pounds of corn
meal), simply to keep it without gain
or loss, a 500-pound pig, under like
conditions, requires five pounds of the
same food for its support. Ho further
showed that about three pounds of this
same food, in addition to either rution,
made one pound of pork.
Now, were a man to try to make
pork with these pigs, with the one he
would get one pound for each four and
one-half pounds fed ; with the other
he would feed eight pounds. For
comparison, suppose the mixture were
worth S2O per ton, or one cent por
pound in the case of 100-pound pigs,
his pork would cost four and one-half
cents per pound; in the case of a 500-
pound pig it would cost eight. Or, to
put it in another light, suppose ten
pigs bo fed four and one-half pounds
of feed each, or forty-five pounds in
tho aggregate, they will give a gain of
ten jiounds of pork. In other words,
with these pigs forty-five pounds of
feed will give ten pounds of pork.
Now, if the same food be given to pigs
weighing 500 pounds each, it will feed
just nine of them five pounds each,
but as with pigs of this size it takes
live pounds as the food of support, no
gain would be made. The food would
bo simply thrown away, so far as fat
tening purposes go. If these nine
larger pigs be fed to make one pound
of gain each, it would require twenty
seven pounds extra. This added to
the forty-five pounds, maintenance ra
tion, makes seventy-two pounds of feed
to mako nine pounds of pork. It will
be seen that these experiments of Pro
fessor Henry show that the mainte
nance ration, while not exactly in pro
portion to the live weight, is approx
imately so. They show that while it
took one and one-half pounds to sup
port the growing 100-pound pig, that
one pound per hundred pounds was
sufficient with the 500-pound pig. This
is easily accounted for by the fact that
there is less proportionate, amount of
exterior surface in the larger pigs, uo
growth, and probably less activity.
Bnt carrying this proportion in the di
rection of a pig still smaller than 100
pounds, it would probably require
with a pig weighing twenty-five pounds
at the rate of two pounds per 100
pounds, or about one-half pound of
food as a maintenaco ration. If this
be true, it would then only take three
and one-half pounds with this pig to
grow one pound of pork.
Further experiments by Professor
Henry show very conclusively that
corn or corn meal is, by no means, the
best food for pork growing, though
good for fattening. Wheat middlings
he found much better than corn alone.
He also found, bj- careful experiments,
several times repeated, that 200 pounds
of corn meal and 1582 pounds of skim
milk produced as much growth as 500
pounds of the middlings meal mixture
and a better growth than 500 pounds
of clean'corn meal. In this wo see that
five pounds of skim milk are about
equal to one pound of meal. Tho les
son for tho pig feeder in the experi
ments is to feod young, thrifty pigs,
and to feed them on a mixture of corn
meal and wheat middlings, and never
to feed them beyond 150 pounds dressed
weight. —American Agriculturist.
FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.
Lettuce is a good food for the poul
try.
Do not food the poultry unless they
need it.
The eggs should be gathered at least
twice daily.
A good dust bath is a necessity for
healthy fowls.
Give tho chickens plenty of fresh
air and sunshine.
Milk, either skim or butter, is ex
cellent for chickens.
Pigs grow well on grass, clover being
especially good for pasturing them
on.
•"he amount of eggs laid is largely
governed by liberal but wise feed
ing.
Filthy quarters are responsible for
the greater part of the so-called hog
choleru.
Give the hogs plenty of pure water
and they will not drink out of their
wallows.
Cabbage, sunflower seed, millet and
sorghum are excellent feeds for
chickens.
Too much care cannot be taken dur
ing the warm weather to keep the slop
barrel sweet.
From five to seven pounds of evapo
rated fruit can be secured from one
bushel of apples.
Apples from sprayed trees will keep
longer than those from trees have
not been sprayed.
When plants are set in the ground
great care should be taken about water
ing. In the vast majority of cases
evening is about.the best time.

The most thorough housekeepers
nre learning the value of charcoal HK a

few pieces of it are often put into
poultry or game that has been drawn,
when, if wrapped in confectioner's pa
per and hung in a cool place, they will
keep sweet several days. Fresh fish
may bo cleaned, sprinkled with salt,
wrapped in paper and then covered
with charcoal.—New York Post.
DISHWASHING AT TIIE FAIR.
Every housekeeper who goes to tlio
World's Fair will want to see the dish
washing department in the Machinery
Hall. The dishwashing machines are
operated by girls and are used in
cleaning the tableware of the many
restaurants on the grounds. The
plant cost $50,000. The dishes ore
washed in huge revolving horizontal
cylinders. Inside these cylinders, on
the outer edges of the wire cages the
cups and saucers are placed. Outer
revolving attachments carry warm
water up anil dash it against the soiled
dishes, which are afterwards dried by
heat. —New York Recorder.
MID-STTMMER DAINTIES.
Neat and tasteful sandwiches, which
are so popular on the English tea
table, will bo found most acceptable
on the home table for luncheon, or
tea, especially in hot weather. A few
hard-boiled eggs make nice sand
wiches. Chop the yolks of six eggs
and one of the whites, and mash to a
paste, with a teaspoonful of melted
butter anil one of anchovy paste;
spread on thin slices of buttered bread,
doulile and trim into shape. Caviare,
which may be bought at Italian anil
French groceries and delicatessen
stores, and is packed in little ounce
jars, makes good hot weather sand
wiches. Any kind of cheese, grated,
or mashed to a poste, and spread on
buttered bread, with or without the
addition of cayenne pepper, makes
appetizing sandwiches. Cottage
cheese is nice, with ft leaf of crisp let
tuce laid over it before the top slice is
put on.
Sweetbreoils—Lamb sweetbreads are
almost as good as those of veal, and
are infinitely cheaper. Soak them in
cold water for several hours, changing
the water twice; throw into boiling
water and let them simmer for five
minutes after the boiling point is
reached, then fry, and serve around a
mound of green peas or asparagus tips.
They are nice always with browu or
tomato sauce.
Boasting a Leg of Lamb—However
epicurean rare mutton may be, rare
lamb is as uuedible as rare broiled
chicken. A leg weighing six pounds
should be roasted an hour and a half
in a good oven. Lay the meat on a
rack in the dripping pan and baste
ever}' fifteen minutes. Do not remove
the fat before roasting, but wrap it
around, and skewer it fast.
Julienne Soup—There is i»o better
spring or summer soup. It is very
simply mßile by adding a cupful of
finely shredded vegetables, cooked
tender, to a quart of any light broth.
Simmer ten minutes, nnil serve. Young
carrots, turnips, radishes, string
beans, peas, asparagus tips, and minceil
lettuce, parsley and chives all goto
make the complete Julienne.
Lamb Chops—An unusual way of
cooking these is as follows: .Broil
them for two minutes, then spread
over them u forcemeat made of un
cooked chicken meat, pounded to a
paste, with the same bulk of bread
previously soaked in milk. To a half
pint of this mixture ailil a beaten egg,
salt, pepper, and a little melted butter,
and moisten with iv tablespoonful of
cream, chicken gravy, or white stock.
Cover the chops on both sides with
this, and lay them in a hot oven for
six minutes, turning them once.
Chopped mushrooms are often added
to this forcemeat, or the chops, pre
pared as above, may be served with a
mushroom sauce.
Clam Chowder —An appetizing
chowder is always in order in hot
weather. The best chowder maker we
lmve ever known was an old Masschu
setts lady. The following is her recipe :
Wash twenty-five large clams, and put
over the fire with half a pint of water;
as soon as the shells open, remove the
saucepan, take out the clams, and save
all the juice remaining in the shells.
Remove the tough parts, anil chop the
rest. Peel and slice six potatoes and
two onions, add a small slice of larding
pork, six pilot biscuit, the clam juice,
a pint each of milk and water, half a
grated nutmeg, and a teaspoonful of
celery seed, or a couple of stalks of
celery miueeil fine ; let this cook slowly
for two hours, then add the chopped
clams, a cupful of tomato s:iuce and a
teaspoonful of Worcestershire sauce,
anil when the chowder is again brought
to the boil, it is ready to serve.
New Potatoes—One rarely eats new
potatoes at their best in the city, be
cause they should be cooked as soon as
possible after being taken from the
earth. Hashed with cveam, they are a
dish to make glad the soul of an epi
cure. Mince a quart of cold boiled
potatoes, season them, and add a gill
of milk or cream ; melt a tablespoonful
of butter in a frying pan, and when
hot, turn in the potatoes, distributing
them evenly over the surface of the
pan ; set back on the stove until of a
golden brown color on the bottom,
sprinkle with a teaspoonful of minceil
parsley, fold like an omelet, andserv.e
Potatoes a la Lyonnaise—A nice way
to serve potatoes is to slice them, fry
a minced onion in a tablespoonful of
butter, turn in the potatoes, and as
soon as they color, sprinkle with minced
parsley, serve very hot.—American
Agriculturist.
Protection Against Poison.

relied, to some extent, at least, on
supernatural and magical means to
protect themselves against poison.
One kept a peacock ulwoys near him,
because that bird rufHeil up its

brought near; another hail a cup and
plate set with opals because this gem
was supposed to turn pale when
