Sacred Serpents ol l'r»|it.
1% gerftral belief in the divine char
acter and healing powers of tlio sacred
serpent is to l>o :uet, with all over
Egypt. Even the myths which the old
Egyptians associated with the snake
are still prevalent. Egyptians of all
classes still believe that when '"a ser
pent grows old wings grow out of its
body," and that there are serpents
which kill by darting ttames in the vic
tim's face. How old such beliefs are in
this country need not be repeated to
those who have seen the pictures in the
tombs of the kings at Thebes. The
seref, or "flying serpent," and the
snake fr<>jn whose mouth tiames issue
aro among the commonest of the fig
ures painted on their walls. It is not,
however, as Kakodacmon, but as
Agathoilaenion, that the divine serpent
of ancient Egypt still maintains his
chief hold on the belief of the Egyptian
people. Each house still has its har
ras, or "guardian snake," commonly
known as the hurras elbet, "the pro
tector of the house." The snake is fed
with milk and eggs, and care is taken
not to do it harm.—Chicago Herald.
A Notable Kuirineerini; Feat.
A notable engineering feat was ac
complished a few days ago in the com
pletion of the boring of the Busk-Ivan
hoe Railway tunnel under the con
tinental divide of the Rocky Mountains
at Hagcrman Pass, Col. The tunnel
is almost two miles 10ng—9393 feet
and is through solid gray granite. It
took three years and twenty days, of
twenty hours' work each day, to bore
the big hole. It is 10,800 feet above
sea level, through the top ridge, of the
continent. The water draining from
the one side of the mountain under
which it is driven runs to the Atlantic
Ocean and from the other to the
Pacific. Its construction has cost
$1.000,000 and twenty human lives. The
tunnel, which is on the line of the
Colorado Midland Railway, the Santa
Fe's central route to California, sub
stitutes two miles of track for ten and
does away with one of the most ex
pensive railway climbs in the world.—

THE STRIPED CUCUMBER nEETLE.
This insect may lie driven from the
plants it infests, which are of the
melon, or gourd tribe, by dusting them ,
with fine wood ashes or plaster in which !
a little carbonic acid has been stirred
so as to give it a distinct odor. To- j
bncco stems, that may be procured of
the cigarmakers or dealers, spread un
der the plants, or rags dipped in kero- 1
sene, will also drive away these pests, i
The cabbage worms may also be kept
away from cabbage and cauliflower by j
scattering flour on the leaves; bran is j
said to be effective, but hand picking j
is the safest and most certain remedy, j
To do this easily take a pair of spring j

WHAT ONE HERD DISCLOSES.
Very recently there was published
in an article 011 the care of dairy cows
statistics which fully prove that a man
feeding at random, and keeping cows
that have never been tested, is working
absolutely in the dark, and if he suc
ceeds it is merely through accident. j
Facts very startling to the thinking
man were disclosed. Out of this herd
ol sixty cattle, some Holstein, some 1
Jersey, some grades, and some com
mon cattle of unknown ancestry, the !
cow returning the greatest amount of J
butter according to food eatenwwats t
the common native. Undoubtedly j
prior to the test the presumption was
all against this cow. This shows that j
breed does not always tell, and is con- 1
soling to the farmer who is not able
to stock up entirely with thorough
bred or even grades. The second
native cow beat all of the Jerseys, so
that even the rich farmer cannot i
afford to rely entirely upon blood.
An average of twenty-seven pounds of
food was consumed for one pound of 1
fat, ranging from seventeen to forty- |
seven pounds. The larger cows con
sumed a smaller amount of food in j
proportion to their weight than the I
smaller ones. The best yield of milk |
gave the best yield of butter.
The entire test shows us what an in- 1
dividuality there is in cows, and that
breed and color and good marks and
appearances in general must not allow
us to lose sight of the paying qualities
of one and the losing qualities of an- i
other.—American Farmer.
OIVE THE COLTS OOOD STALLS.
Have box stalls for the colts by all
means, but do not make them cells of j
solitary confinement. Putin good '
windows to ndnut tho sun. If
opening into tho paddock, have an
extra door two-thirds size, so he can '
stand and put his head out and enjoy '
the air, and seo and familiarize him- j
self with what is going on. If open- |
ing into the barn, have the door in |
halves; 011 the under half put a slat
work that he can look through, hav- |
ing it so the upper half can be shut I
tight, in cold weather or at night.
1 had a young stallion last winter
that could not see what was going on
from his stall. He was kind and of |
good disposition, but when I went to
take him out would grab a halter and '
chew it and nip at one who came near.
I had two extra hinges put on the j
door, and sawed it in two at tho '
middle, making two half doors. From
the lower half I built a slat work top |
that he could see through. It changed
him at once, and now have a quiet and I
pleasant colt to handle.
Do not have two half doors by any j
means ; it is dangerous. If the upper j
half gets unfastened the colt will !
reach through, and is likely to have it j
swing so as to catch his neck, aad in
struggling to get free get hung. Chil- j
dren are often round to open the
lower half to see the colt and not.!
fasten it again. He stoops down to
get out, and when part way through
straightens up and is caught by the
upper doo'r in the small of the back '
and is ruined for life. New England

FATTENING POI'LTHV.
No operation connected with the
poultry yard requires greater atten
tion Bud experience than fattening
fowls in coops. Oatmeal and barley- |
meal alternately, mixed with milk, ,
mid occasionally with a little drip- |
ping, is a good food. The feeding
troughs, which must be kept constant- '
ly scoured, should lie placed before
the birds at regular intervals, and
when they have eaten sufficient it is
better to remove them, placing a little
gravel within the reach of tin* coop t• •
assist digestion. Oats and rice are far
inferior to oat meal 111 their flesh-form- 1
ing propertied. Keeping the birds
without food for some hours after they
re put up frequently induce* them to
lake it more readily afterward, but
sufficient attention is rarely bestowed
111: thf various details of pre) aratinii
aaU BULvivjitif Uit food. hw*u«. the I
j complaints of the fowl* deteriorating
in the fattening pen are far from un
i common. Access to water should be
I allowed at all times.
Fattening must be completed in ten
; days, for after that period they begin
:to lose weight. The best age for table
birds is when they are from four tosix
; months old.
| The coop should be three feet high,
j two feet wide and four feet long. This
' will admit from six to eight birds,
according to their size. The bottom
and front should be of bars, three
inches apart. A board outside the bars
in front, six inches wide, will serve as
a stand for the food and water troughs.
! The coo]) should be in a well-venti
lated outhouse, and if kept dark be
tween the times of feeding, all tho bet
ter.—Poultry Book for the Many.
FARM AND OARDEN NOTES.
It is said flint sorghum seed makes
a cheap an«! excellent food for poul-
I try.
Hnve fewer cattle, but better, and
! feed them plentifully all the yea*
| round.
An English experiment station nays
[ that wheat is the cheapest food in Eng
| land for sheep.
By bnggiug grapes the clusters aro
kept perfect and come out bright, clean
and attractive.
I Voting animals intended for breed
ing purposes should be well cared for
and kindly treated.
Root-pruning is simply a severing
of the roots in order to check growth
j and induce fruiting.
; A cow which produces 100 poundt
of butter costs as much for feed as one
| which produces 200.
There is often a great diminution in
I the amount of milk given when the
j milkers are changed.
Where a combination of beef and
milk is desired the Shorthorns are gen
| erally to be preferred.
I All kinds of stock if well fed will in
j crease in weight faster now than in
j either colder or hotter weather.
It is claimed that the Jerseys and
Shorthorns were overfed during the
butter and cheese contest at Chicago.
A new variety of peach is announced,
for which the claim is made that no
| sugar is needed in the canuing of it.
It is said that, tomatoes gathered
when green and kept in a dry place
I will continue to ripen, just as pears do.
Give the poorest grain first. Ani
{ mals grow dainty as they fatten and
j lose instead of gaining if given poorer
■ food.
I Tho quality of butter made in wet
I weather is inferior owing to the pas
tures supplying less nutriment at that
I time.
Squashes must be gathered before
. touched by frost, handled carefully
and kept in a cool —but not cold—dry
: place.
Celery blanched by banking in soil
is said to bo more crisp and of better
flavor than that blanched between
| boards.
If you have any trees in your orch
j ard which have been blown down or
| have been killed, remove them and set
! out new trees.
Now is the time to prepare the young
trees so that the ravages of rabbits will
not injure them. I)o not delay this,
as it may mean a considerable loss to
you.
At this senson it is important that
j every colony contain a good fertile
! queen and that a fair sprinkling ol
, brood is kept up during the fall
months.
In the future theorchardist willcon
sider the Bordeaux mixture and kero
sene emulsion as a necessity for the
! success of his fruit trees in yielding a
good crop.
j It would be well for the orchardist
if more winter apples, pears, or other
late fruit were planned. Now is the
■ best time of observing tho wisdom of
doing this.
The quantity necessary to winter a
hive depends largely upon the weather
and tho size of the colony, but thirty
pounds per colony is about the uver
ngo quantity.
Feeding for winter stores should be
gin in good season, so as to let th«
bees li'.ve time to senl their stores
over before cold weather sets in. Al
ways feed just at night.
If you desire to leave an inheritance
to your children, set out a few walnut
or pecan trees. They can be pur
chased cheaply of any nurseryman,anil
give excellent returns.
Trees which are planted in the fait
become thoroughly settled and get 1

have the entire spring and summer foi
their growth the first year, which is ol
great advantage.

tablespoonfuls of flour, salt, pepper
and a generous quart of water. Cut
all the fat from the meat and put it in
a stew-pan : fry gently for ten or fif
teen minutes. In the meantime cut
the meat in small pieces and season
well with salt and pepper, and then
sprinkle over it two tablespoonfuls of
flour. Cut the vegetables in very small
pieces and putin the pot with the fat.
Fry them five minutes, stirring well,
to prevent burning. Now putin the
meat and move it about iu the pot un
til it begins to brown, then add the
rpiart of boiling water. Cover ; let it
boil up once, skim and set back where
it will just bubble, for two and a half
hours. Add the potatoes cut in thin
slices, and one tablespoonful of flour
which mix smooth with half a cupful
of cold water, pouring about one-third
of the water on the flour at first, and
addingthe rest when perfectly smooth.
Taste to see if the stew is seasoned
enough, and if it is not, add more salt
and pepper. Let the stew come ton
boil again, and cook ten minutes ; then
add dumplings. Cover tightly and
boil rapidly ten minutes longer. Mut
ton, lamb or veal can be cooked iu this
manner. When veal is used, fry out
two slices of pork, as there will not be
much fat on the meat. Lamb ami mut
ton must have some of the fat put

perfumed with patchouly, an extract
of an Indian plant. The French soon
learned to imitate the tdiawls to per
fection, l»iit the jiatehonlv bothered
them, as they could find no substitute
for it, and this fact was used as the
snrest means of distinguishing the
genuine India shawls from the French
counterfeit. At last somebody discov

of patchouly to France. For a time
the discoverers kept the matter to
themselves and reaped a harvest; then
some one gave way the secret. The
perfume soon became popular and has
