Electric Wires. Some writer very aptly likens the nerves to olectrlo wires, una the general working of their system to thnt of eleetrlo oars. A man who "slips his trolley" like Mr. Jeremiah Enoy, 1812 W. Lombard St., Baltimore, Md., will noed something tetter than even a gal vanic battery to set him all right. Mr. Enoy found that something in the following way : "I suffered," he says, "a long time wltn neuralgia in the head. I gave St. Jaoobs Oil a fair trial and am entirely cured." In this way the great remedy acts as a motorman to restore broken wires, and sets the system to perfect action. Jane and its several combinations is tho feminine of John.

In small fruit growing a change ot crops should take place without wait ing a year or two for tho plants to grow. When my strawberry bed has but one more year to grow I sot in tho rows raspberries. The raspber ries are ready to bear as soon as the strawberries are given up. No year is lost. So in my raspberry gardens I plant pear trees, and expect them to be in good bearing by the time the berries are worn out. A red raspberry plantation should be good for twelve years or moro if properly cared for and manured. Tho pears will by that time bo giving heavy crops. Thero is such a thing as alternation of crops for fruit as well as grains and vegeta bles. Apples planted again in old apple orchards do not thrive as well as on fresh 'grouud. —American Agri culturist. now TO HANDLE AND KEEP POTATOES. Potatoes should be handled very carefully, as they easily peel their skins and bruise, when rot is certain to ensue. Potatoes should be kept at a temperature of from forty-flvo to ilfty degrees in a moderately dry, well-ventilated apartment, from which light must bo carofully excluded, else the potatoes will develop a strong, rank taste. They are a bulky crop, and every time they aro handled unnecessarily involves a cost which materially re duces tho profit. The earlier farmers can sell the better, as keeping in win ter ,'involves further work and loss from rot, while later on tho weight and value of the potatoes will bo greatly reduood by the growth of the eyes. Judging by tho present outlook, it will pay every grower who has po tatoes to take tho best care of them.— Now York AVorld. TRELLISINO GRAPES. Grapes trellising according to tho, Munson system Ims proved so success ful at tho Oklahoma Experiment Station this year,lhat Professor Waugb nnhesitatiugly recommends it for adoption in general viuoyar.ling. Ac cording to this system, posts stand six feet out of tho grouud. At the top a crosspiece two toot long is nailed, and at each end jf this a wire is ruu. A third wire is run through the middles of the posts eight inches below those two, so that the threo wires set in a sort of V sliapo nearly six feet froin the ground. This great height is an es sential featuro of the system, and should not be modified. On this trel lis tho grape vines spread out as they do where they grow wild in tho woods. This furnishes a shado for the fruit. At the same time the fruit is so far above ground as to bo fsafo from the iutenso reflected rays of tho sun, which caused more damage in Oklahoma vineyards tho past season than all other causes combined. The trellis also has many other advantages and only a few disadvantages.—Farm, Field and Fireside. NHirriNQ CATTLE. The golden rulo in shipping all kinds of cattle is to get them as fast as possible from rango, ranch, farm or feed-yard to mirtket. It has been proved time and again that a rango ballocli shrinks every hour after he loaves his uative haunts. It stands to reason that all cattlo will do so, but natives do not fret, nor are they lia ble to get so buised as tho former. Since tho invention of patent cars, such as Street's and other varieties, parties a long distance from market havo been greatly benefited, says an exchange. One only needs togo down to the stockyards and seo the cattle rolling in every day from points 1000 to 1500 miles west without unloading to find out how much better cattle shipped in this way look than those that have been knocked about at the local foedijg points, and have had to be uuloaded and loaded probably a couple of times betwixt their point of shipmeut and their destination. The outward appearaneo is nothing to the inward look when tho hido is off and tho bruises show up. We be lieve that all cattle, whether natives or rangers, should be sent to market without unloading. We have cattle reaching ns every day from a distance of 1200 miles that stay in tho cars all this distance. They ore fed in the cars and wtttored also. The old-fash ioned railroad feoding-yurd is a thing of the past so far as it usefulness is concerned. Just as wo beliove it is better to kill cattle as near tho feed yard or range as possible, so is is bet ter to run them to the central mar kets with as little shrinkage and bruis ing as possible.—New York World. A NEW CABBAGE MOTH. A now cabbage motli made her first appearaneo here about ihree years ago. The first warm nights in early summer she comes in through the open window and hovers around the lights. She is a night worker, as alio is not to bo seon on tho wing by day- ] light; but I find her in silent slum ber between tho leaves of tho cab bages. Her body is half an inch in length, very slim, and fashioned like tho common cabbago moth in struc ture. Sho carries a small shapely head and long slim legs. Her eolc r, a light green, wings transparent. Hho is a pretty moth and covers each egg, after depositing it on the under side of the cabbage leaves, with a white filmy covering. After the eggs are hatched, tho tiny worms live for sev eral days under their filmy blanket, [ and then they creep") out into the warm sunshine and life's work of devouring the cabbages. They do not beoome as large as 'the common cab bage worm. Fires kindled around ancl among the cabbages will not only de stroy the new moth, but also the com mon moth. The common'.moth is not! a night workor, but as she works only, when the sun shines, she is attracted by the light and the warmth\ of these fires the same as by the sunlight. In sects destroyed by lights audi fires at night, save tho fruit and tho wegeta bles, and muoh hard labor, as valuable time. Torch lights among tho fruit trees, in tho evenings, de stroy inseots that you fail to see by daylight.—New York Tribune. FARM AND GARDEN NOTES. Sheep are delioato feeders and will reject anything that is noi perfectly sweet. It is hopeles. to oxpect sheep to eat the butts of corn stalks as a cow will when they come from the silo. It makes little difforenco how rooky laud is for grapes. They' have been known to flourish where it was neoes sary to carry soil to cover tho roots when planting. A farmer said before tho lowa Insti tute : "It has been proved that clover sod is as good to produce corn as the virgin soil. Farmers are just awaken ing to the importance of sowing all small grain fields to clover. It is the only wholesale fertilizer we have dis covered." I Keep the back barnyard as neat as' the front; have tho manure pile, the, old board pile, the rubbish pile, al-; ways under cover. Make the neatness; of your place noticeable, and teaoh not only youf own boys, but tho whole neighborhood, lessons of beauty and thrift. Sheep and hogs are good in orchards —hogs preferable to sheop, because they root the ground over and pre pare it for an application of fertilizer.' Neither class of stock is suflioient for the fall amolioratiou of tho soil to bring the orchard to its best produc tive capacity. Excepting tbo goldon rod, milk weed and ragweed, all tho rest of our weods have been imported. These foreign weeds nro tho most trouble some and persistent. If it was some one's duty to keep thoni from tho highways, thoso posts would not travel so fast. Italian boes aro now conceded to bo the best bees for this country. New varieties come tip every season, aro given a short-lived boom and drop below tho horizon, to again appear briefly in a few years. Tbe Italian has been tried and has not been found wanting. They aro tho best. When your cream foams and swells in tbe churn don't pour hot water into it, but warm it up to sovonty de grees, if need bo, by warm water to tho outside, and mature it more be fore you attempt again to churu. Ma turity and warmth within certain safo' limits will generally knock tho obsti-; nacy out of winter cream thut does not want to yield up its butter. Vines have been frequently known to do well where their roots were be neath buildings aud tho vines brought ont at tho foundation. They never' fail in such places for want of moisture, tho natural dampness of tho soil being sufficient. Very often such vines will come through tho winter uuinjured, when thoso iu the gardou or vineyard are seriously damaged. The clover hay harvest should be gin as soon as tho field is well in bloom, and every care possible exercised in curing aud harvesting tho crop, and while all undertakings aro uncertain in which tho weather takes such an im portant part, much may bo done to offset tho uncertainties by extremo watchfulness and care, aud no dairy man can afford to withhold these iu such a case. Tlio peach may bo budded on tlio plum, but there is less advantago in this than is commonly supposed. The; peach tree is usually hardy enough to, live, and if the crop suffers it is from freezing the buds when too far ad vanced. This, of course, the plum 6tock cannot remedy. It is a mistake also to suppose that poach treos will not do well on heavy soils. They only require soil that is well drained and from stagnant water at any season. Many mistakes are wado in setting out shado trees; Evergreens ought never to be set near the house. Tiiey are useful as windbreaks in the North and West, at somo distauce from tlio house, where they may be set in clumps or hedges, but never on a lawn. Grass does not do so well under them as under deciduous trees, and so many of them drop cones almost the entire year that they are unsightly and interfero with the mower. TI;o Ureater New York. Some of the larger oities that aro to bo distanced by Greater New York are content to boast of their acreage. Chi cago has the biggost municipal acre age in the country, covering over IGO square miles, wliilo New York covers only about forty. Some idea of tlio sardiuo civilization of New York can bo had by reflecting that it covers but little more ground than Boston. What is still more astonishing is that when the Greater Now York comes to cover 318 square miles it will still be moro densely settled than Chicago. We fancy Boston to be a vory crowded oitv, with 18.5 persons to th 3 acre. New York has over 58 persons to the acre, and Chicago, with all her boast ing, has but 10.7 to tho acre. If wo aro to estimato population by the aero it greatly disturbs all previous calculations. When the greater me tropolis is completed it will still havo more people to the acre than Londoei. —Boston Gazette. There is a miniature Indian corn grown in Brazil.

ON CAKE BAKING. For bakiug moat kinds of cike the aven should bo rather slow. If it be too hot when sponge cake is baking the cake will sometimes rise very high mil fall again. In any case, it will be coarse grained and tough. A good test for sponge cake is to put a piece jf white paper into the oven, close tho dour and open it in five minutes. If tho paper be a rich yellow the oven is right, but if it be light yellow tho oveu is too cool, or if a dark brown it is too hot. THE KITCHEN TOWEI.S. Hoasowives are sometimes debarred from the use of crash for kitchen towels by its cost, as well as by the fact that it needs to be partly worn beforo it makes really good towels. Now that fashion sauctions the use of this very serviceable material for toilet articles as well as aprons, it may be economically used in that way first, and then descend to the more utili tarian household uses. For instance, your delicately checked linen crash apron, when worn soft, will make the best possible glass or dish towel, and your toilet cover and pin-cushion cover even, after having served their apprenticeship in your room, may bo turned into roller towels and dish cloths. Crash is very easily hem stitched, and with this ornamentation and the state of immaculate cleanli ness in which it is so easily kept, it makes the most desirablo of bureau and table covers. HOW TO nOIt, A PUDDING. Tho most difficult way of cooking a plum piuldiug is boiling it in a cloth; a novice will bo likely to spoil it un less tho following directions are ob served in every particular : To boil a plum pudding successfully have a large pot half full of actually boiling water, with a plate in tho bottom to keep the cloth from burning or stick ing to tho pot, and a teakettleful of boiling water to fill up ibo pot as the water boils away ; there must always bo enough water to lloat the pudding, and it must boil without ceasing, "jumping" in the pot. Tho cloth must be of linen towel ing, about u yard square, scaldod by (lipping in boiling water and then thickly dusted with sifted flour ; and after the pudding has boiled steadily for at least six hours it should bo un rolled, laid upou a suitable dish and set in tho oven to dry off while tho sauce is boing made. Allowance must bo made for the swelling of an ordin arily rich pudding, tho cloth boing made about threo-quartcrs full. BECIrES.
