CULTURE OF THE GOOSEBERRY,
This shrub needs coolness nnd shado.
Tho bright, hot sun produces mildew,
which stents tho growth. The bushes
arc, therofore, best grown in tho shel
ter of somo building and in cool, moist
soil. Somo native varieties aro mod
erately freo from thi3 mildew, but
Amerioan-grown berries will probably
equal tho fino ones grown in tho cool
English climate.—New York Timcs.
A DROUGHT* PROOF CROP.
Lucky is tho farmer who in thisyear
of droughts has planted some sorghum
as a fodder crop. It is much botter
to resist protracted drought on ac
count of roots striking deeply into
the soil, while corn is shallow rooted,
and suffers whenever dry weather
comes. At tho West, whero droughts
aro much more severo than here, sor
ghum is commonly planted for feed
ing. Its early growth is slow, but so
soon as its roots strike down tho stalks
shoot upward, and two months after
planting the sorghum will bo larger
and yield more tons per acre than will
any kind of corn.—Boston Cultivator.
IIOG CHOLERA.
Feeding hogs green cornfoddcr will
not produce cholera, as an inquirer in
timates, says Professor J. H. Shep
pord of tho North Dakota Agricultural
Collogo. That disoaso is caused by
spocifio germs or micro-organisms
which aro in this caso small plants.
Thero are a great many kinds of dis
ease germs, as well as germs that aro
benoticial in many ways. Most per
sons not acquainted with hog cholera
call almost ahy swine diseaso by that
narno, and I feel sure that hops are in
many cases thought to havo cholera
when in reality they do not. I havo
known of no serious results from
judiciously foeding green corn fodder.
Many tons are annuully made uso of
in this manner. It is a succulent food,
and a sudden change to an exclusivo
diet after feeding dry food might cause
serious scouring of pigs. Tho change
should bo gradual. lu caseu of re
ported deaths from using this feed I
would be inclined to think that a do
raugement of tho digestivo system was
tho cause and not cholera. It would
not be advisable to confino pigs to this
diet exclusively, but given with a
small quantity of dry corn or with
bran and shorts I would not expect
serious trouble.
BAD TEMPER IN TITS DAIRY.
Has any ono ever figured up the
cost of bad temper in tlio dairy? If
allowed a rough guess at it, I would
say that bad temper was tho causo of
more loss in tho dairy than all other
sources of loss put together. A man
may havo lino cows, u good stable,
tho best dairy implements and a good
ninrket, yat he is losing money all the
timo simply because he loses his tom
por when a cow gets contrary or acts
in some way to irritate him. " Ho then
begins to swear and yell and act like
a general idiot. Now, a cow is a
good deal like a woman in one respect.
You yell at her nnd she instantly losos
her head. Her judgment is all gone
and lier nerves aro on top. Now look
out for a squall. Nature never meant
that man should abuse the softer sex,
oither woman or cow, without being
made to pay for it. Just how the
woman gets tlio better of a man when
ho acts the fool we all know. All men
do not know, though, just how the
cow gets in her lino work under the
same circumstances. Slio takes her
revenge in a nogativo shape by not
giviug as much milk as sho would have
given had sho been better troated.
Not scoing hi; loss, the man does not
appreciato how heavy it is until ho
comes to sum it up at tho end of the
season when ho good naturodly to
himself attributes his losses all to
bad luck when it should be to fool
temper.—Homo and Farm.
SMALL FLOCKS OF POULTRY.
Farmers often keep too many liens
in ono place. Fifty is all that should
bo kept in ono llock as tho food will
costless, and more eggs will bo laid
in winter than if 100 are kept. The
right way to do, whero luoro than
fifty fowk are to bo kept, is to have
another in some out-of-the-way place.
If tho housesaro two or threo hundred
yards apart, fences will not be re
quired. Tho houses need not be
expensive, and most farmers havo old
lumber lying around, or an old shod
that ought to be tern down, and all
this can bo worked into the poultry
houses. The houses should, at loast,
be twenty-fivo by fifteen feet for fifty
fowls. Havo the roof firm and tight,
and then lino tho house inside with
good, stout building paper. Little
cracks in tho sides of a house or damp
ness is the causo of sick fowls during
tho winter season. The front and south
side of tho houso should be seven or
eight feet high and have two ordinary
sized house windows therein, while
the back or north side should be four
or five feet high. Tho roasou why
tho house should be largo, light and
dry, is becauso during the cold or
stormy days of winter thefowlsshould
be confined therein; and if plenty of
litter is kept on the floor, and small
grains aro buried under this, tho fowls
will bo kept busy and happy all day.
This means plenty of eggs, and plenty
of eggs in winter means plenty o?
monoy just -■when money is most
needed. Do not be afraid of shutting
tho houso up as tight as possible at
night, but during tho day, when the
hens are confined, open the windows
and givo plenty of air, using wire net
ting to keep tho fowls from flying out.
It Hust bo remombered that hens are
dressed just as heavily in tho daytime
as at night, and if kept too warm dur
ing tho day they will feel tho cold of
night more, an 1 sickness will bo the
result. The droppings should be kept
by thomselves aud not. bo aliowed to
bo scratched al) over tho floor, and
the roosts should be a-'l on a level and
not more than eightocn inch.es or two
feet up frqni the floor. Tho roosts
vhould bo three or four inches wide, a
two by fivo-iucli joist making an ex
oellcnt roost.—Americen Agricultur

POTATOES FOB COWS.
The Veterinary School of Lyons,
France, has been making sonioexperi
ment!! in the uso of potatoes for feed
ing dairy cows. Tho results oro sum
marized as follows:
Dairy cows, when deprived of all
other nourishment than potatoes
(which should be given raw and cut)
will causume per day an average of
soven per cent, of their live weight.
Under tho influence of this exclusive
regimen there was an increase in tho
quantity of milk and a notablo loss in
live weight; this result was very dear
and remarkable. Cooked potatoes
wero more readily taken by tho cat
tle, but when they wero given alone,
and every other form of nourishment
was excluded, rumination was affected
or stopped, and digestion was hin
dered. The uso of cooked potatoes
could not, therefore, be persisted in.
Whether they aro raw or cooked,
potatoes should bo mixod with somo
other food to constituto a convenient
ration, both from tho double point of
viow of milk production and for fat
tening purposes. This mixture of ra
tions is also favorable to tho mechan
ical and chemical acts of digestion.
From observations on a lot of dairy
cows fed with a ration of which pota
toes formed the half of the total dry
matter, and on another lot where thoy
only formed twenty-two per cent., it
was fully recognized that tho first or
larger quantity was clearly preferable
to tho second or smaller. From othor
experiments it appeared that raw po
tatoes favored tho production of milk,
while an equal quantity which had
been cooked fattened and increased
the weight of tho animals. Under tho
influenco of a ration of which cooked
potatoes foruiod tho basis, tho amount
of sugar in the milk was found to rise,
but tho increase did not continuo
when tho ration was changed.
An analysis was made weekly during
nearly four months of (1) the milk of
eight cows whose ration containod
about, forty-four pounds of potatoes
and (2) of another lot to which twenty
two pounds had been given. In tho
first case there was a decrease of den
sity of the projiortion of dry extract
and caseiue, and in the second an in
crease of butter nnd mineral matters.
Tho practical use of theso experiments
on tho introduction of the potato into
tho ration of dairy cattle will bo regu
lated by the fact of tho milk being
sold off the farm or usod for butter or
cheese making.

Remember shade trees in too groat
profusion injuro tho quality of tho

Aro you plowing about tho sarno

yoars ago?
Do not mako the horse carry a heavy
halter in addition to the bridlo when
at work on a hot day.
Time put into farm improvements is
a better patrimony than money in tho
bank for your children.
That pasture needs drainago for
oither sheep or for cows if health and
bes.t results are to be expected.
Aro you not wasting timo that, if
applied, would in a few yoars fit your
farm for all modern machinery?
Tho demand for good riding horsos
will increase in proportion to tho im
provement in tho horses produced.
Tho friends of tho busy boo main
tain that it would pay to keep a few
colonies to pollenizo tho blossoms of
fruit trees.
Aro you plowing around that same

A practical dairyman suggests that
two or three doses of saltpetre, one
tabiespoonful for a dose, is a romody
for ropy milk. Ropy milk, however,
seldom results uulessthe cow is milked
too soon aftor calving; it disappears
later on.
Sometimes egga aro laid at night
whilo tho hens are on tho roost. The
cause is a weakened state of tho egg
producing organs; tho result of over
feeding and lack of exercise. Hens
which aro unable to hold their eggs
aro usually too fat.
A practical berry grower says that
a quarter acre garden, well arranged,
sot to best varieties and properly cared
for, should yield at least twenty-live
bushols of berries. In no othor way
oil) a farmer produce so much of valm
with so little labor as in a garden of
small fruits.
A writer says that many fail to un
derstand whilo yet it is tho fact, that
when cows aro on good pasturage is
whon thoy need salt the most. The
better plan is to keep tho supply in a
convenient placo whero they can help
thomsclves. One advantage with rock
salt is that it doeg, not waste to any
great extent if left exposed.
Tho owner of a small farm -who
keeps only one or ..two cows is more
interested, or should be, in having
choico animals than those who own
large flocks. Ono goo<l cow will serve
the purpose of two inferior ones, and
where spaco is limitod every additional
quart of milk or pound of butter it
quito an item with tho keeping of e
single animal.

THE REMEDIAL USES OF APPLES.
In all tempcrato climates the apple
grows freely, and might be obtained
in praotically unlimited quantities.
That it is not more used than it is is
probably due to the fact that, being
so plenty, it is undervalued. Yet al
most every one likes the fruit in some
fashion, and it should form a part of
at least two meals out of every three
during the yeor round; for evon when
the fresh fruit is not in season, canned,
dried or "ovaporated" apples may al
ways be had.
"Chemically," says a writer in the
North American Practitioner, "tho
apple is composed of vegetable fibre,
albumen, sugar, gum, chlorophyl,
malic acid, gallic acid, lime and water.
Furthermore, tho German analysts say
that the applo contains a larger per
centage of phosphorus than any other
fruit or vegetable. The phosphorus
is admirably adapted for renewing tho
essential nervous mattor —lecithin —
of the brain and spinal cord. It is
perhaps for this reason—though but
rudely understood—that the old Scan
dinavian traditions represent tho applo
as the food of the gods who, when
thoy felt themselves to be growing
fooblo and infirm, resorted to this
fruit to ronew their powers of mind
and body."
Not only tho phosphorus, but tho
acids of the npple are of singular use
for persons of sodentary habits,
whoso livers aro apt to bo too slow of
action. Those acids aid tho liver in
its work of eliminating from tho body
tho noxious matters which, if retained,
would make tho brain heavy and dull,
or, in time, would cause rheumatism,
jaundice, or 6lun eruptions, and other
allied troublos.
Tho malic aoid of applos, either raw
or cooked, will noutralizo any excess
of chalky mattor engendered by eating
too much meat.
Ripe apples are probably tho least
fermentable of all fruits, exoept, pos
sibly, tho banana. For this reason
ripe and sound apples may bo eaten
by most persons in even the hottest
weather; but even tho apple is safest
when cooked.
Wo have tho support of eminent
medical authority in saying that tho
most healthful way to cook apples if
to paro and core them, and bake in 0
moderate oven. If the applo is of 0
quite sour variety it may bo necessary
to add a littlo sugnr, putting about a
saltspoonful in tho hollow whence the
core was extracted. The next best woy
to cook them is stewing. Contrary tc
common belief, apples baked in theii
skins aro tho least healthful of cookeo
apples.—Harper's Bazar.

Artificial Uranlte.
The manufacturer of artificial pran
he is now carried on at a California I
establishment by what is a snorted to
be n simple and effective method, and
with satisfactory results. It consists
of first tamping a layer of the body
forming material in a mold, one inner
vertical wall of which is formed by a
vertically movable slide; after this
the process is continued by removing
the slide and tamping a layer of the
facing material in tho spaco made by
the lower end of tho slide, then re
placing tho latter with its lower end
resting on tho tamped facing layer,
tamping now tho second body-form
ing layer, and again removing the
slide and tumping the second facing
layer. The formation of the body and
facing material is continued in this
manner by successive steps, until tho
face block of tho desired thickness is
an accomplished fact. In this
way there is produced a material
of cheap substances and a facing
of better quality, showing any kind of
finish desired, the two being united
whilo in a plastic condition into a
homogeneous mass.—New York Tele

America's Hcnd Sen.
Medical Lake, so-called on account
of the remedial virtues of its wators,
situated on the Great Columbian

of America. It is about a mile long
and from a half to three-fourths of a
mile in width, and with a maximum
depth of about sixty feet.
The composition of tho waters of
this Alpiuo lake is almost indentical
with that of tho Dead Sea of Palestine,
and, like its Oriental counterpart, no
plaut hos yet been found growing in
or near its edges. It is all but de
void of animal life, a species of large
"boat-bug," a queer littlo terrapin,
and the famous "walking fish" being
its only inhabitants. This walking
fish is an oddity really deserving of a
special "note." It is from eight to
nine inches long and has a finny morn

Accept no substitute that may be recom

better for the dealer, because of paying him
a better profit, but he is not the one who

Is tho Moon Peopled?
The populor impression is that tho
moon is a burnt-out world—a sort of
cinder planet glistening in tho heav
ens—but astronomers ore by no means
persuaded that such is the case, and
some among them are hopeful that
tho question as to whtther it is or is
not inhabited will shortly bo deter
mined. This hopo is based upon the
fact that tho groat fifty-inch telescopo
which is being constructed in tho
Brashear cstablisment in Pittsburg,
under tho superintendence of Profes
sor Keller, of Allegheny Observatory,
will shortly be ready for use. Tho
tubo of this giant instrument will
be fully seventy feet in length, and
for its operation will require a dome
moro than sixty feet in diameter.
Professor Keller has declared that
ho seos "no reason why the question
as to tho habitation of the moon
should not bo finally settled when this
wonderful instrument is erected."
Professor Plympton, of Coopor Insti
tute, is equally sanguine that tho de
cisive results so long looked for are
destined to bo shortly realized. Such
hopes will doubtless seem extravagant
to many ; but when it is remembered
that tho Lick telescope, which has
done so much for science, is but thirty
inches in diemoter, and that the new
glass will be twenty inches larger, it
is easy to Bee that tho great expecta
tions of the astronomers are not with
out a reasonable basis. In any case,
it is fairly certain that tho fifty-inch

Revival oi Archery.
There seems to be a revival in Eng
land of archery, the contrast between
the hurried movements and unbecom
ing glow of the feminino lawn tennis)
player on one side and the graceful
and stately calm of the fair archer ou
tho other being altogether to the ad
vantage of the lutter. It is a graceful
diversion, and one at which Queen
Victoria excelled thirty or forty years
ago, when archery was one of her fa
voiito pastimes. To this day she holds
tho offico of dean of tho most ancient
guild of archers in the United King
dom, and, like tho Emperor of Austria
and tho Czar of Uussia, has a body
guard of archers. It constitutes part
and parcel of the Scottish portion of
Her Majesty's household, and only ap
pears at state functions at which the
Queen may be present north of tho
Tweed. Its Captain General, who oc
casionally wears the green and gold
uniform of the corps, is the Marquis
of Lothian.—New York Advertiser.
A jury at Wabash, Ind., acquitted a
conductor charged with "knocking
down." The principal witness against
the accused was a "spotter," and the
jury refused to believe him.
