The Snxoii Kind's Staff. Jn all probability the most magnifi cent marshal's stuff over owned by a sold' n- of any country is that presented by the Emperor of Germany to the King of Saxony in honor of the fiftieth anniversary of the Saxon ruler's en trance into the army. The stuff is 491 centimeters long an«l four centimeters in (linineter. It is of silver, covered with bright blue velvet, which in turn carries beautiful pearls. Along its sides are seven gold Prussian eagles and seven Prussian crowns of silver. Each end of the staff' is golden. On the top are the initials "W. R." in diamonds, surrounded by a golden laurel wreath. A Prussian eagle in brilliants ornaments the base. About the eagle are emeralds and diamonds representing the colors of Saxony— green and white. A band of diamonds also ornaments each end of the staff. From the top hangs n gold diamond studded bam! on which is the inscrip tion: "William 11., King oi Prussia, to the Field Marshal, King Albert of Saxony, for Services in the Victorious Campaign, 1870-I*7l, for His Semi centennial Militnrv Jubilee, October 24, 1893." 'I he present greatly pleased the venerable monarch of Saxony, the only ruler in Germany now living who showed the soldier's genius in the Franco-Prussian war. The fact that William II referred to himself in the inscription as King of Prussia and not as German Emperor has excited some comment in the Empire. It is gener ally believed that he used that form as a delicate compliment to the older monarch, preferring to appear as his equal rather than liis superior in rank. This fact, more than the presentation of the staff, gave pleasure to the Saxon people.—New York Tribune. The Pronunciation of Arkansas. I have traveled in Arkansas, and it is said there that the legal prouneia tion is Arkansaw. In the ante-bellum days, about the time Kansas was ad mitted as a free State, there was agita tion in the State Legislature of Ar kausas in regard to the State name be ing mistaken by its similarity to tht name of Kansas. One very zealous member of the House moved that tht legal pronunciation ol the State should be Arkansaw. The proposition was seconded, and passed by a large ma jority. So the story goes. To travel the State and say Arkansas and not Arkansaw, marks a person among the natives as being a tender-foot to then soil. As a rule all Soutlit rn people eay Arkansaw, and that, I believe, is why the pronunciation is still kept fresh, as I know that the schools of Kansas and the West teach the pro nunciation Arkansas. —Baltimore Sun. An Oversight. There was one oversight at the Great Ex position at Chicago in not having in full view, by easy arrangement, some compara tive vital statistics of our own general health as compared with other nations, and our scientific facilities for tho relief of human suffering. Then it would liavc appeared how much we are misrepresented and how, even in all those minor ills which bvset man kind, we are masters of cure and alleviation. In the lino of general ailments which all nations have in common, such as rheumatic or neuralgic afflictions, there is no prompt and permanent cure in the world the equal of what we could liavo shown. St. Jacobs Oil, for instance, for this purpose, would have taken any premium that might have ' been offered. It has done so at many of tho great fairs of the world. As for the ordinary | casualties of every-day, busy life, such as I sprains, bruises, burns, wounds or cuts, of I course it is well known as the superior | remedy of the age. Tirliaps doctors dis agree, but the people are never mistaken in < knowing what is best.

As lime is soluble most easily in cold water, it is nsual to apply it to the land late in the summer, or even in the winter. Twenty to fifty bushels to the acre is the usual quantity. If forty bushels, which is a good quan titv, is used, this will give one bushel to each two rods each way through tho field, and is thus evenly spread. The heap of lime left at each two rods is left until it becomes a fine powder, which will happen in a few days. Then it is spread by a long-handled shovel one rod each way from the heap, so that each heap meets. Then the land is just whitened all over. This is done after the land ia plowed, and is fol lowed by the sowing of the seed, and both are harrowed in together. It is usual to apply lime when wheat is sown, and is followed by grass and clover. It has a most useful effect on the clover.—New York Times. PRrNIJTO HARDY SHRUBS. It seems hardly necessary to repeat what we have so often stated about pruning shrubs with a view to the pro duction of flowers namely, that those which i>roduee flowers on the wood made the previous year, among which the honey-suckles, forsythins, early spiraeas, lilacs, viburnums, deutzias and Philadelphia are prominent ex- j aniples, should receive their severest putting soon after the tloweringseason is over. This stimulates the growth i of the new wood, which will bear ; flower buds for the next spring. Of course, if these shrubs are cut back in the autumn or winter or in early spring, before they bloom, the (lower buds are removed. On the j other hand, late blooming shrubs, like | the pauicled hydrangea, hibicus and | lespedeza, should be cut in hard in | early spring so that they may make a strong growth of wood and buds for j flowers which open in late summer ; ami early autumn.—Garden and For- ' est, WOOD ASIIES. "That wood ashes are of much value io the grower of plants anil trees has long been known and only that it. has been difficult to get large supplies at reasonable rates it would have been much more used than it has been," writes an experienced gardener. At the present time there is more call for it than usual, owing to its be ing used to a large extent, bv florists. For fruit it is as good a thing as can be applied. Its application to the fruit trees tends establish healthy foilage to :i remarkable degree. There is not a rank growth result ing, sueli as barnyard manure creates, but a sturdy one, with plenty of healthy foliage. In greenhouse the same eft Vets are observed. The plants treated do not run to wood to the dis advantage of flowers, but make a ; growth whose appearance of leaf ami stem indicate to be the highest type ! of healthy vigor. The youngest boy on a farm knows that the biggest of the big plants is j sure to grow where last year's bonfire was made. The application of good ashes to grass on lawns is shown to have done good. The vivid green of j the herbage and strong growth tell ! the story of its value.—Southern Agri- | culturist. PROFITS IN WINTER DAIRYING. Money can be made iu winter dairy ing if the calves are dropped by De cember ]. Calves dropped at that time will require a warm stable, light, ' cl»an and well ventilated. Butter at this season usually brings ten cents: per pound more than during the sum mer. Farmers have more time to de- I vote to their work thou during the busy summer season. A small ice nill with much less labor will also result. Calves dropped in the full will thrive 1 nil winter in u warm stable, nnd the skim milk, with it little wheat bran anil linseed meal, will make a good riftion until February. If kept grow ing nieely they will 1«> in tine condi tion for pasture, and little fear may I l>e entertained of scours. Heifers rained in this way will drop their calves when front sixteen to eighteen months old. Manure from winter dairy eat tie in worth more thim tha< from dry COWH. The feed during winter will be ntorf than paid for by th»- increased price of the but ters, so the calves will be clear K h ''>. As for reeling, I want my cow ato have tneir rest in warm weather or in carK fall, theu let them have fresh fall feed, and you will see that they can tight flies and grow better, ami be 111 far better condition for huaiiies.H than if they had rested nil winter and fed mi corn fodder and no grain.

TEMPERATURE FOR CHURNING. One of the most essential things in I butter-making is temperature of the I milk, cream anil butter in the differ- I ent stages from the cow to the butter tub, and in the process of churning probably more depends upon the tem i perature at which the cream ia when ' the churn is started than at any other time. The flavor, grain and color, I three of the principal constituents of ' good butter, are all developed by tho l proper temperature of churning, j Butter churned at too high a tempera i ture will be found to contain more j casein and water than that churned at ! a lower one, thereby injuring the I keeping qualities. The color will be pale and lacking : that golden hue so much prized by all good butter makers and judges of fine butter. The grain will be injured and the butter lack body anil firmness, and will be liable to mottles and I streaks. It will take more working and there will be greater shrinkage while on the way to market. The temperature that cream should be churned at depends to a greater ex tent upon the condition of the cream and the temperature of churn room. In winter it is not necessary to churn at as low a temperature as in summer. In the days before the ISabeoek test we did not giw much thought to the loss of butter fat in the buttermilk. If we churned at the right temperature to produce the best quality of butter that was all that was necessary. But since that time there has been considerable change. We still churn to produce the best quality, but we have combined this with the temperature to churn at to save all the fat from the buttermilk, and we have found that tho two will work together with the best of results. Iu my experience I have found that acid cream should be churned at a temperature that the buttermilk will come from the churn below sixty de grees iu the winter months. In my experience with cream I have churned at a temperature of fifty degrees, and produced good results both in keeping qualities and in the saving of fat from the buttermilk.—New England Honie steud. FARM AND GARDEN NOTES. Clean stables make clean cows and pure milk. Good barns are essential to success ful dairying. The highest-priced oats are not al wr.vs tilt best feed. Don't expose the colts unnecessarily j in a cold rain storm. If proper shelter is provided the stock will require less feed. Give the land thorough tillage be ! fore applying the fertilizer. It is said that ground bones are one of the best grape fertilizers. Don't spoil a colt by keeping him tied up without regular exercise. Five hundred and twelve cubic feet j of hay iu the mow will make a ton. This is the time to complete your work of putting the fences iu order. A horse will not get HO cold if he is | hitched with his head from the wind. Pigs Hre said to come on faster with > wheat meal than with any other food. Intensive cultivation and farming to mako money amount to the same I thing. ! If all oats could be run through the mill they would make better feed for horses. It is now positively stated that hill culture of strawberries insures the best results. The value of a horse depends upon the aggregate of all his qualities at maturity. A big horse show is to be one of the features of the mid-winter fair iu Sun Francisco. Two cubic feet of good, sound, dry corn in the ear will make a bushel wheu shelled. Get rid of a jumper at once, bo/ore the other horses on the farm acquire the bad habit. Wheat gives much higher returns iu fat aud tlesh formiug qualities than any other meal. The fall of the year is the time to prepare for spring mud and slush by diti'hinK tin- barn lot. I ne elose-titt tun collars aud harness ami never allow H horse to become sore from any part of the lutrueas.

THE CARE OF I, AS.*"* Lamp wicks should have the charred part rubbed off' with a rag kept for that purpose. They should very sel dom be cut. They should not be used so long that the webbing becomes air tight and non-porous. Lamps should be kept filled with oil. It is bad for the wick nnd burner when the oil left over from one evening's reading is made to do duty a second time. The tank should be filled again. About once a month the wick should be re moved, the burners unscrewed and boiled in a little water in which com mon washing soda has been dissolved. This will remove the almost impercep tible coating of dust and grease that forms on the brass. The lamp chim ney should be washed in warm, soapy water each day, a mop made especially for such work being need. When dried it should be polished with soft newspaper or chamois.—Picayune. IJISrOSITION OF HOUSEHOLD REFUSE. "If all housekeepers followed my example the ashman would have most of his trouble for his pains," remarked a clear-headed woman as she dumped a bundle of odds and ends into a kit chen range. "I never have anything for the ashman except at house-clean ing time and on unusual occasions.save the ashes and cinders. I have several reasons for this. One is that I exces sively dislike the smell of kitchen re fuse, and never allow it stand about if I can help it. After my meal is pre pared I gather up everything that is useless and put it.on to tho coals in the range, then turn on the drafts full. In fifteen minutes, all other things be ing equal, there will not be a scrap of objectionable material left. Every thing is reduced to clean ashes. I consider it an actual waste to throw out the refuse into the garbage can. 4 'lt is just so much good fuel to me, and I never think of doing it. I can keep a tire lor hours on corncobs, potato-paring, apple cores, peaclipits and similar stuff, that is ordinarily thrown away. I never allow the yard or areuway to be cumbered up by trasli of any sort. Dust sweepings, leaves, dried-up flowers, everything goes into a receptacle, and indue course of time finds its way into the capacious throat of the kitchen range. I find that this sort of things makes quite a bit of dif ference in my coal bills, and that, to me, is mi item of some importance."— New York Advertiser. GOOD KITCHEN ( HTLERT. Nothing is more essential in good kitchen work than good cutlery. The cook must be provided with a good breadknife, with a thin, broad blade anil a keen edge, if she would cut her bread as it should be cut—into thin, dainty slices. There must also be 11 good, sharp meat-knife. It is not pos sible to use the same knife for both purposes and keep it long in good condition. In addition, there must also be a little vegetable knife and a little boning knife, with a thin, sharp pointed blade. These knives should be kept bright ami clean, and exclusively for their own respective purposes. They should not lie allowed near the lire, for heat ruins the temper of the steel, and when the temper is once destroyed, it cannot be restored. There should al ways be two or three common iron knives about the kitchen for the pur pose of scraping pots and pans and for stirring anything cooking upon the stove. One of the best knives fot scrapers has a short, strong blade, broad and sharp at the lip liko a put tyknife. Kuivet that are in use in the kitchen should be systematically sharpened. In the city, where a knife grinder is always convenient, it pays to send the knives to him about onee in three months, as it costs but little to have them thus properly ground. In the country, where a knife grinder is not always accessible, a cook should learn the use of the whetstone, as a carpen ter or other mechanic does, and keep her knives in order herself. Knives which are not In use should be rubbed in a little sweet oil, wrapped in chamois skin and laid av ay. Knives in daily use should be washed and dried thor oughly. On no account should the handles be allowed to soak in water, nor should the kuives be allowed to dry in the oven, nor in any place around the range, for by such treat ment their temper will be destroyed itnl their handles loosened. The best place to keep knives which arc in hourly requisition in tln- kit clieu IK in M knife rack hung on the wall. New York Trihttn •• tlEl'tl'ES.
