! The rctrlflod Forests ot Arizona. In one of tlio meetings of the Amer ican Forestry Association held in Brooklyn lately Dr. Horace C. Hovey, 'of Newburyport, Mass., showed by specimens and by viows the petrified forests of Arizona. This groat tract of agatized wood, at least 2000 acres extent, is near the station, of Corrizo and Adamannas on the Atlantic and Pacific Railroad, in Arizona, and re sembles an immense tygging camp with huge trunks thrown about. The largest are ten feot in diameter, many of thow severed as evenly as though cut up by a oross-cut saw, and the sections vary from disks like cartwheels to logs thirty and more feet long. Many of the petrified logs have boen broken into glittering fragments by action of the weather and by Indians and tour ists, and at every footfall the traveler stops upon a mosaio or carnelian, agate, jasper, topaz, onyx and ame thyst. A petrified trunk 150 feet long spans a canon, and is known as the Agate Bridge. The name Chalcedony Park has been given to the tract. Curi osity hunters, manufacturers and spec ulators are rapidly destroying its beauties, and recently a. company pro ceeded to pulverize the chips and logs, the powder to bo used in place of em ery. Car loads of the petrified wood aro being shipped away for this use, and Dr. Hovey advocates the saving and protection of these dead forests in a public reservation by the Gov ernment. —Scientific American.

For work or driving horses, those in daily use, cut feed moistened and mixed with finely ground meal, being much more easily digested, is prefera ble to whole grain and uncut hoy. The saving of food is another reason. Where whole grain is used a consider able portion of it is voided undigested in tho excrement. The best cut feed is made by mixing clover hay moist ened with corn ground to gether.—New York World. TO CATCH MOLES. A correspondent of tho Rural World Bays: Anyone who con catch fish can cutch moles. We do not catoh them with a hook and line, but it requires about as much patience. Find the place where tho moles aro working, then open tho run for about six inches and putin loose dirt at each end of the opening; then fill up the run and press it down. This will prevent him from passing. As he attempts to poss he will come in contact with tho ob struction and will press the dirt up wards in order to get through. Now is tho time to do tho work for tho lit tle pest. So bo ready with a mottock and dig him out. Be sure to striko behind him or you may fail to get him. The best time is in the morn ing about sun up and noon and boforo sun down. SELECTING HAY FOR COWS. As a plant forms seed it takes sub stance from the leaves and stalk and stores it within the seed as nourish ment for tho germ when it shall grow. This is called "translocation," and it plays an important part iu changing the chemical constituents of different parts of tho plant. Pereuuials have still another form of translocation. Nutriment is stored in the roots. Tim othy has a bulb just beneath tho sur face of the ground. From this bulb fresh roots como in spring. The point of interest to tho dairyman is that the grass grows less nitrogenous as it ma tures, and tho nutritive ratio becomes too narrow for a perfect daily ration. Succulent pasture grass is a perfect ration; ripened grass is too woody and carbonaceous. Experiments at different stations indieato that in feod ing the results are what tho chemical analysis would lead ono to expect. Early cut hay has a large protein con tont, and is better for milk produc tion ; that cut later is more carbona ceous and is suited to beef making. Nov/, since it is impracticable to cut ail the grass at once there will be some cut early aud some cut late. Tho sensible thing to do is to stack sepa rate, or put iu different mows in the bnrn and feed in accordance with its suitability to tho object sought, giv ing the cows in milk and young grow ing stock tho early cut hay. Tho writer tills his loug mow in sections. This grades the hay as cut, and the barn is so arranged that he can feed from any desired section. Those whose stock run outside will find it profitable to remember which stack is early cut and feed it according to tho suggestion given above, —New Eng land Homestead. USES OF BAW HIDE. For wide usefulness, fow things ex deed raw hide, though it is not com monly understood in tho East, or oniony civilized people as should be tho case, writes Hollister Sago. The Western pjgneer, through necessity, learned tho art of manipulating it loug years ago, and its use has not been forgotten. A coil of sun-dried cowhide tied to the plow handle, tur ret ring or wagon stake, is security ageinst breakdowns and many mishaps which aro likely to overtake the farmer or teamster. Soaked in water, it becomes limber quickly and will tie a harness, wagon or other things to gether and hold them firmly, whether wet or dry. When it dries, it shrinks, binding more firmly than ever. On the treeless, rainless wastes of the Southwest, where fiercest sun and constant drying winds would shrink the tire from any wheels used in moist climates, the raw hide tire is indis pensable, because tho dryer it gets tho closer it sticks. If after a long wear the tire is found loose, anew ono can bo quickly whipped about tho wheel at night, ready to start with in the morning. For belt lacep, traces and other harness straps, chair bot toms aud innumerable other places where hard wear is demanded tho raw hide with the hair exposed, or turned iu out of sight, is invaluable and could be used in tho older Stotes oftentimes with great advantage. Or these skins ! may be "tawed," as the process is! called whore the hair or fur is pre served, And no tannio aoid is used. This is done by spreading a mixture of finely powdered salt and alum in equal quantities upon tho moist flesh side and doubling o-ie, or laying pairs flesh sido together. The hides arc left thus for several days, when they seem to have become something like leather. They pro then stripped, scraped, rubbed with chalk and pnm ico stone until smooth, and pulled and scraped whilo drying to make them soit.—Country Gentleman, THE MODERN HOG. There has been a great change in recent years in all domestic animals, but. iu none has the type been more completely altered than in tho hog. The origiual animal, tha "rustler," certainly left much to be dosirod as pork, though doubtless well fitted to survivo and thrive under tho condi tions of neglect which prevailed. But with the growth of tho country and the development of tho pork mar ket came tho application of modern methods of breeding and feeding. Early maturity aud moro compact, heavy frames were the qualities so successfully sought, that every farmer went iuto tho business, with overpro duction as tho result. Then a great many went. out. of tho business in dis gust. Thoso who stayed iu mado money, and now the rest are trying to get bivcki Bat tho taste of tho market has changed. Big hogs are no longer in demand. Instead of an animal weigh ing 450 ponnds, one of half that woight is the kind desired. Big hogs can only bo sold at a reduced price. Con sumers demand smaller hams and shoulders and well streaked bacon, while lard has been almost completely superseded by cottonseed oil. To supply changed conditions the type of hog has undergone a marked modification, and swine breeders will do well to rooognize it in order to market their pig crop at a gain. Whilo the smaller breeds aro more largely used, the chief difference has been in tho feed. Plenty of com means tho ability to produce plouty of pork, so that it must remain our chief hog food; but corn is only ono of tho leading food factors in success ful pork growing. Many farmers have made a practice of keeping pigs constantly on corn, which has tended to bring on an un healthy condition and render the ani mals easy victims of hog cholera. Barley, wheat, peas and clover or alfalfa should also enter into the rations. Both the health of tlio ani mal and the quality of tho moat aro affected by the diet. Tho latter is so well recognized that pork made from a mixed ration brings a higher price than that made from corn exclusively. It is worthy of careful no to that in the great hog markots of tho world it is not tho hog from tho great hog producing countries that sells at tho highest prices, but tho meat of tho hog from dairy sections such as Don mark, and, to a certain extont, from Ireland. It is also well to remombor that fat tening animals ought not to bo fed longer than necessary to bring them up to maturity. It is a well-estab lished fact that gain can bo made iu hogs weighing 200 pounds much cheaper than in thoso woighiug 400 or over. Feeding and trying to fat ten old animals is not paying busi ness, generally speaking, as proper returns aro not obtained for the food consumed.—New York World. FARM AND GABDEN NOTES. Look out for firo during dry times. Sow some rye if short of pasturage or forago. It is uour milk, not soparated milk, that hurts the calves. Character is always writing its namo indelibly on the face. If milk is putin sour cans no steril izing in tho world can save it. Don't feed cold milk to a small calf. Feeding three times a day is bost. Overproduction of inferior produots causes some men to fail as farmers. Red clover is one of tho very bost friends of tho farmer if rightly usod. Seo that the roosters have firm fiosh. The flabby ones are no good for breeding. Soapsuds aro an excellent fertilizer for grapes on account of tho potash they contain. It does not injure tho keoping qualities of butter to mako it from sterilized cream. There are farms where moro head work would bring better results thun more hard work. Evaporation from the soil may bo largely prevented by tho uso of a mulch on tho surface. Pullets hatched in July and August will give you eggs during Lent, whou the domand is unusual. The way the plow is adjusted has much to do with tho draft as wall as the quality of work done. It is a wise policy to breed what tho market calls for and for which the best prices are being paid. lowa dairymen find that sweet corn makes tho best flavored butter, but not so much as other feeds. The milk-can on tho steps at tho farmer's gate is a sign of prosperity, and in time it will lift tho mortgage. When you seo a weed don't wait to havo it "identified." Kill it at once, bo it Russian thistle or a native pest. Tho roots of poar trees run very near the surfAco of the soil, and care must be taken when plowing noar them. Plow around your hay and grain stacks. Plow half a dozen furrows and make them sjino distance from tho stacks. Sterilized cream is bettor for mak ing ice cream thin that which is not sterilized. It will swell moro in freez ing, and make lighter and smoother ice cream. No ono objects, or has tho right to object, to oleomargarine, sold as oloo margarine. But there aro tho best and strongest reasons for objecting to its being sold as butter. The quiok-growing kinds of turnips, sown late in the autumn, are very suc culent but do not have tho nutritive qualities that belongs to the Ruta baga family or even tho White tur nips when sown earlier. Pears are ready to be picked when the stem parts readily from the sptir when raised by the hand. Tho fruit should always be picked by thus rais ing it up, instead of pulling it off. Aim to leave the stem on the pear. No remedy has been found for tho pear blight which has been affecting quinces in many localities. All dis eased twigs should be out and burned, and affected limbs should be cut off a foot below the discoloration point. The first essentials of good butter making are patience, cleanliness, go id judgment, and hard work. Proper feeding of tho cow is the starting | point, and then tho most absolute cleauliness from barn to shipi>ing-oase. Heavily-laden limbs should bo sup ported by wires from a common poiut near the top of the tree. This method | is an improvement on the old wooden props. The wires may remain perma nently, as heavy crops may come iu succeeding years. HOUSEHOLD MATTERS. TOE CHEST MANAGEMENT. Food that has little odor itself, and food that absorbs odors readily should be placed at tho bottom of thi refrig erator. All foods with a strong odor should be kept on the top shelves. Sonr milk or cream should not be kept in the refrigerators. Salad dressings, tartar sauce and celery should be covered closely so they will flavor everything that is shut np with them. Pineapples, strawberries and raspberries, should not bo shut into a common ice chest with milk or cream. In the refrigerators where there is a circulation of dry air, butter, milk, cream and other delicate foods may bo kept in tho lower part of the refriger ator, and the fruits, vegetables, etc., with stronger flavors and odors, may be kept on the top shelves. If ar ranged in this way there will be little danger that one kind of food will ab sorb the flavor or odor of another.— New York Telegram. HOW TO TRIM A TiAirr. Thero is such a vast difference be tween tho quality and quantity of light given by a kerosene lamp prop erly trimmed and that given by the Bnino lamp unskillfully trimmed that it is surprising any person of average observation will endure tho light given by a badly trimmed lamp for even a single hour. But few people can trim a kerosene lamp properly, and not many people who read or sew by kerosene lamp socm to mind it. Many implements for trimming lamps have boon invonted, but few of them aro of any signal value. The best instrument for trimming a lamp wick is the human forefinger. It is much superior to a pair of scissors. Whethor tho wick be cylindrical or straight, turn it up until the part that is thoroughly charred is exposed, hold the wick firmly in place with the screw aud rub off the charred portion. A littlo practice will enablo one to make a perfectly straight, smooth edge to a wick this way, and a single wipe on a piece of paper or cloth will cleanse tho finger. Lastly, bo careful not to let any of tho charred refuse from the wick stick on tho burner, where it will obstruct the draught of tho lamp. Brush it off or blow it off, and keep tho draught clear. —New York Mail and Express. THE ART IN GOOD SOUP. In the art of cooking thero are un« fold details to bo learned, and among them the most important in that great art—the making of soup. A noted traveler ouco remarked, "Oh, the bad soups I have eaten at people's houses !" The old-fashioned soup of fifty years ago was a thick glutinous mass which was a dinnor in itself. When the soup was dono the soup meat from which tho soup was made was served and con sidered an excellent dish. But nowa days tho soup has become a separato institution, tho commencement of tho dinner after tho half dozon oysters aro served. In this ago the French soup is tho dolicato liquid that, is usually giveu. It requires a genius of a homo woman to accomplish this desirable end, for it is only ono in a hundred of ordinary families, whose cooks aro not up to the mark in all dishes, that roally can muko a good pot of soup. For tho breakfast a la fourchette, the soup, if one is to bo part of the menu, should be light and delicate, and for dinner the same should be served. Meat for soup should always be lean, and that from the shank is excellent. It is muscular and full of nutriment. For every quart of soup allow ono pound of meat without fat. It should be washed, then placed in a kettle with one quart and a pint of oold water and a teaspoonful of salt. After boiling slowly lor live hours there will be only ono quart of the liquid, tho extra pint having been lost by evaporation.—Now York Recorder. RECirES.

C., "to collect strange bugs and insects my travels, and I think I have succeeded in get ting together a pretty choice collec tion. Of the whole assortmentl think the chameleon spider, which I got last summer on the coast of Africa, is the moßt valuable. The capture of this insect was highly interesting to mo. Ono afternoon, while tramping along a dusty road, I noticed in the bushes which grew along the side what ap peared to be a singular-looking white flower, with a blue centre. Stopping to examine it I found, to my astonish ment, that it was not a flower at all, but a spider's web, and that the sup posed light blue heart of the flower was the spider itself, lying in wait for its prey. The mottled brown legs of the spider were extended in such a way as to resemble the divisions be tween the petals of a flower. "The web itself, very delicately woven into a rosette pattern, WRS white, and the threads that suspended it from the bushes were 60 fine as to be almost invisible. The whole thing had the appearance of being suspend ed in the air upon a stem concealed beneath. Upon knocking the spider from bis perch iuto the white gauze not which I carried, my surprise was greatly increased by seeing my cap tive instantly turn in color from blue to white. 1 shook the net, and again the spider changed color, this time its body becoming a dull greenish brown. As often as I would shake the not just so often would the spider change its color, and I kept it up until it had as sumed about every hue of the rain bow."—St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
