Worms That Sprout and Grow.
The headline above should properly
have been a full sentence something
like this: "Worms that sprout and
grow like shrubsand the story it
self, were it learnedly told, would bo
a remarkable narrative of one of the
most wonderful vegato-auimal growths
iu existence. The scientists say noth
ing about thin great creature, if crea
ture. it can be properly called; at
leant I have been unable to find even
the remotest allusion to its existence,
and those who have regularly read this
department for the past five years will,
1 believe, cheerfully testify that my
facilities for looking up natural and
unnatural oddities are among the very
best. This vegetable worm has been
rejwrted from but one State (Ohio), as
far as I have been able to ascertain,
and there it has never been made the
subject of scientific investigation. My
informant, a valued and observing
friend of liberal education, whom I
shall designate as "It. C. N.." nays that
the "creature, when playing in the sin
gle role of a larva, is a nine-seg
mented caterpillar with a hard, yel
lowish-red head, the body much re
sembling the common "grub worm."
It spends the winter in the loose soil
of hazel thickets, and is seldom found
except by persons engaged in prepar
ing these jungles for farming pur
poses. While in his enforced winter
sleep, this red headed grub is at
tacked by a queer species of fungus
which always, so far as has been ob
served, fastens itself in the fold of the
eighth segment, about a quarter of an
inch from the vent. As spring ap
proaches this vegetable germ feels the
warmth before it has had any effect
upon the sleepy worm, and this is
sadly to the grub's disadvantage. Im
mediately the fungus begins to grow
in two directions; a woody stem starts
for sunlight and air, and a corky or
pulpy substance begins to fill the skin
of the worm. "Kvery leg and fold is
tilled with the fungus growth ; notli
ing escapes; it is a clear case of trans
fiwmation of animal into vegetable
tissue. The stem buds when about six
inches above ground and bursts into
two leaves resembling those of the
hickory.—St. Louis Republic.
He Thought She Was In i'ault.
Between Jamaica and Long Island
City is an oil factory which "smells to
heaven." A lady who was obliged to
take the ride between these two points
very often always carried with her a
botjtle of lavender salts. One morning
an old farmer took the seat directly
behind her. As the train neared the
factory the lady opened the bottle ol
salts. Honn the whole carriage was
tilled with ihe horrible odor of the oil.

lie sure that the cows have plenty
of pure water. l>o not oblige them
to drink from stagnant pools. They
<;njoy pure water as much as human
beings do. The pasture should be
provided with shade. If no trees are
growing there, make a rude shelter of
hoards roomy enough for all. The
thady side of a fence is a poor place
for a milch cow, with the thermome
ter at ninety degrees, and a burning
sun with no breeze.—American Agri
culturist.
TO TIT POTATOES.
The safest way to keep potatoes is
to pit them in the grouud at least
eighteen inches deep. This keeps
them cool until they are taken iu for
the winter. When the potatoes aro
takeu up they should be exposed to
the air, but not to the sun if it can be
avoiiled, for sonic hours, then heaped
iu the pits as high as they will stay,
which is twenty-four inches for a two
foot pit, enough for safety, as in too
large quantities they are apt to heat.
They are covered with boards placed
end wise, one end on the grouud to
make a sloping roof over them, and
straw is thrown over tho boards to
keep them cool and dry. When the
winter comes earth may be heaped
over the straw, which should then be
made a foot thick. A few wisps of the
straw are placed iu top of the heaps to
make a way of escape for the damp
ness or any heat that, may arise iu tho
potatoes.—New York Times.
HAMD t'ROr.
This is a term frequently employed
by those who write requesting a rem
edy for a certain affection to which
fowls are liable. This disorder is of
two kinds—dry caked, hard crop and
the undigested, swollen, eotir, watery
condition of the contents of this re
ceptacle at times. Either is bad
enough, and both aro fatal to fowl life
if not taken seasonably in hand. It is
not a nice job to perforin, but nn un
pleasant, though not very ditlicult,
operation to open, cleanse and sew up
the crop thus affected. This is indi
gestion simply. The food or water
does not pass into the system in the
desired way, but lodges in tho crop.
This ferments, swells, hardens or
sours, and death follows if tho bird is
not relieved.
('lit near the top ol the crop a slit
lengthwise with a sharp knife, and
then turn out the otfending substance
by gently pressing it away with the
hand, while another person holds the
bird firmly upon its side. When all is
removed sew up the slit edges of the
crop skin closely with a small sized
needle and Hue white silk ; feed spar
ingly <in soft food for three or four
days, and generally tho hen will re
cover. This process is for valuable
fowls. With a common bird a knock
on the head and a swift burial is the
least trouble and the best "remedy"
for swollen crops, as it is for every
disease that is litiblc to leave the fowl
in a delicate condition, requiring nurs
ing and care that its value will not
guarantee. —Poultry World.

the liog is to convert feed into pork,
and that hog which will produce the
most pork tint of a given amount, of
feed is the oue wanted. It may cost a
little more money to get the beet, but
it will pay iu the end. It is not wise
to put corn into a hog that, will not
make pork out of it, producing only
snout and bristles.
The feed for hogs, if grouud, will
give enough better results than if fed
whole to amply repay the cost of grind
ing. Much of the grain is wasted
when not ground. The hog eats hur
riedly and docs not thoroughly masti
cnte his food, especially where a num
ber are together. Consequently, a
large portion of the grain passes
into his stomach in a condition unfit
for digestion, aud fails to be assimi
lated. With properly prepared food
tho hog will also be kept in a healthier
condition. The greatest cause of in
digestion—partially masticated grain
—will be removed aud the animal will
bo stronger and will fatten more
rapidly. Improper food is a source
of disease among hogs which is over
looked by many farmers. If more at
tention were given to the proper
preparation of the food for hogs, we
would have much less disease among
the herds. The condition of the pens
also has much to do with producing
disease. Swine lire often kept for
months in places that are absolutely
sickening. Sometimes it is in pens
knee deep iu tilth aud mud, the stench
of which is a downright uuisauce to
the whole surrounding neighborhood.
It is no wonder disease among them is
so prevalent when their lives must be
spent in such places. The hog is, by
no means, a natural lover of fllth. In
his natural state he is cleanly iu his
habits. It is only when forced to it
that he becomes the fllthy creature
often seen. He thrives best near a
clean, sandy stream.
Too many hogs should not bo kept
in the same pen. When a largo num
ber aro penned together, they are not
only more wasteful of their feed, but
they are more liable to disease. It
will not cost much to divide the pens,
increasing the comfort of the ani
mals, saving feed and promotiug
hcalthfillness. Wheat makes an ex
cellent feed for lions. If the price of
pork continues as high as it is likely to
lie, Western farmers, who find wheat
easy to grow and yet cannot market
it for more than fifty cents per bushel,
will do well to convert it into pork,
as they will thus get better value.—

One of the most useful of articles in
the house in h l>rußh made of good hair.
If properly cared for it will last for
years, but buy only tho bent kind with
tho hair wired into the back. Tho
cheap brushes have the hair glued in
aud will not staud water. Even tho
stove brush should be of the best,
whether for uso autside or inside.
Choose one with a short handle and it
will clean out every bit of dust from
every nook and cranny. Stove ovens
should "have the soot and dust brushed
out every day.—American Agricultur
ist.
CARE OF MATTRESSES.
A bright, clean mattress is tho house
keeper's delight, writes Mrs. E. H.
Cooper in the American Agriculturist.
The question is how to keep it so.
Some use slip covers of calico or mus
lin to protect it, but this is unsightly
aud unsatisfactory. Of course a tack
of some sort may be used to guard the
top from possible harm, but it is the
rubbing against the slats or woven
wire that so soils and darkens the tick
ing. I have found the following
method free front all objections: Take
a piece of sheeting or strong muslin,
some six inches larger each way than
the mattress. At each corner attach
a twelve-inch piece of tape, sewing it
by the middle so as to form strings six
inches long. Lay this sheeting
smoothly over tho slats or springs.
Straps, formed of pieces of mattresses
binding a little longer than the depth
of tho mattress, are sewed—by their
ends only—to each corner of the mat
tress. Through these straps pass one
of the strings at each corner, tying in
a bow knot. When desired, the knots
may bo untied and the mattress turned
over. Before turning remove, with a
small stiff brush, all dust from around
the tackings, and the mattress will re
tain its fresh appearance for years.
THE STAFF OF LIFE.
From time immemorial housewives
and cooks have been told that the fu
ture of the human race aud other more
immediate things depended upon bread
making. The influence of dyspepsia
upon the community and of bread upon
dyspepsia has beeu set forth times
without number. Sometimes there
have arisen teaeliers who, with chem
ical language, tried to bring about an
era of good bread-making. Hut bread
continues variable in its quality.
In the lirst place, the flour used
should be the best. Good flour is soft
to the touch, slightly yellow in color,
and sticks to the hand when plunged
into it. Flour of darker lints and with
out adhesiveness is iuferior. The water
should be pure aud tasteloss, from a
running stream if possible. Salt should
not bo mixed with tin- flour, but with
the water used in kneading. The
kneading should be a continuous pro
cess, neither very fast nor very slow.
There are dough-making machines
which have advantages over the old
methods of mixing by hand
The oven should lie ready for tho
bread at exactly tho same time that the
bread is ready f>r the oven. Large
loaves should be placed in the back of
the oven, small ones in front. Large
loaves should be baked an hour and a
half, small ones three-quarters of an
hour. When taken from the oven
bread should be exposed to fresh air
until quite cold. —New York World.

A Matter of Health.
Housekeepers faintly realize the
danger of an indiscriminate uso of tho
numerous baking powders nowadays
found upon every hand, aud which are
urged upon consumers with such per
sistency by peddlers and many grocers
on account of tho big profits mado in
their sale. Most of these powders are
mado from sharp and caustic acids and
alkalies which burn and inflame tho
alimentary organs aud cause indiges
tion, heartburn, diarrheal diseases,
etc. Sulphuric acid, caustic potash,
burnt alum, all are used as gas-produc
ing agents in such baking powders.
Most housekeepers are aware of tho
painful effects produced when these
chemicals ate applied to tho external
flesh. How much more acute must be
their action upon tho delicate internal
membranes! Yet unscrupulous man
ufacturers do not hesitate to uso them,
because they make a very low-cost pow
der, nor to urge the use of their pow
ders so made, by all kinds of alluring ad
vertisements anil false representations.
All the low priced or so-called cheap
baking powders, and all powders sold
with a gift or prize, belong to this
class.
linking powders made from chem
ically pure cream of tartar and bi-car
bonate of soda are among tho most
useful of modern culinary devices.
They not only make the preparation
of finer and more delicious cookery
possible, but they have added to the
digestibility and wholesomenoss of
our food. But baking powders must
be composed of such pure and whole
some ingredients or they must be ta
booed entirely.
l)r. Edson, Commissioner of Health
of New York, in an article in the
"Doctor of Hygiene," indicates that
the advantages of a good baking pow
der and the exemption from the dan
gers of bail ones in which the harsh
and caustic chemicals are used, are to
bo secured by the use of Royal Baking
Powder exclusively, and he recom
mends this to all consumers."The
Royal," ho says, "contains nothing
but cream of tartar and soda
refined to a chemical purity, which
when combined under the influence of
heat and moisture produce pure car
bonic, or leavening, gas. The two
materials used, cream of tartar and
soda, are perfectly harmless even when
eaten, but in this preparation they are
combined in exact compensating
weights, so that when chemical action
begins between tlieui in the dough they
practically disappear, the substance of
j both having been taken to form ear
j honio-aeid gas." Hence it is, he says,
that the Royal linking Powder is the
most perfect of all conceivable agents
for leavening purposes.
It seems almost incredible that any
manufacturer or dealer should urge the
j sale of baking powders containing in-
J jurions chemicals in place of those of
| a well-known, pure and wholesome
character simply for the sake of a few
' cents a pound greatt r profit; but since
i they do, a few words of warning seem
; to be necessary.
