How Hunters Can Avoid Accidents.
A correspondent of the Amerioan
Field sends that paper the following
rules, which, if carefully observed by
those carrying weapons, will avoid
many sad accidonts.
First—Never, under any circum
stances, point your gun toward a hu
man being.
Second—Never carry it so that if it
were accidently discharged it would
even endanger the life of a dog.
Third—Always think which way
youi gun is pointed, and if a compan
ion is in the field with you, no matter
how near or how tempting the game
appears, do not shoot until yon know
whero he is; a stray shot may bo suf
ficient to destroy au eye forever.
Fourth —Never carry a loaded gnn
in a wagon.
Fifth —Never carry a loaded gun
over a fence; put it through and then
got ovor.
Sixth—Always carry a guu at half
cock ; if a breechloader, never let the
hammers rest on the plungers.
Seventh—Never got in front of a
pun ; if you are falling drop it so that
the muzzle will bo from yon.
Eighth—lf tho cartridge sticks the
gtout blade of a knife will probably
extract it; if not, take out the other
cartridge, cut a straight stick and poke
it out from ?he muzzle ; even then do
uot get in front of a guu.
Ninth—After firing one barrel take
the cartridgo out of tho other and ex
amine tho wad to see that it is not
loosened, as it sometimes is after a
heavy recoil, for, should it get up into
tho barrel, it is liable to burst tho gun.
Tenth —Never take hold of tho muz
zle of a guu to draw it toward you.
Eleventh—Never set aguuupso that
if it should fall tho muzzlo would be
toward you.
Twelfth —Never keep a loaded gun
in tho house.
Follow all these rules, bo self-pos
sessed and the fields will afford you
sport without danger.

CABE OP THE BASPBEBBY.
If the old wood of tho raspberry
bushes has not already boen cut out,
leaving only the last summer's growth,
it should be done now. The long
canes should bo cut back. Tender
varieties can all be bent over one way
and weighted down or pegged down
and covered with threo or four inches
of soil. After freezing weather is
over in the spring the vines should be
loosely tied to single stakes or to a
wire if preferred. The hardy varie
ties, such as the Cuthbert, Turner e,nd
other of tho newer varieties will need
no protection.—American Agricultur
ist.
GROWING ONIONS FROM SETS.
Onion sets are the small bulbs pro
duced irom late-sown seed on poor
land and taken up in the fall and
dried. Thoy are planted on rich land
in the spring in rows twelve inches
apart, and threo inches apart in tho
rows, requiring about twenty-four
bushels to the acre. The plants grow
quickly and make marketable onions
by July or August. It is necessary to
watch the crop, and when the swollen
seed stems appear these are twisted
and broken down to prevent the forma
tion of blossoms, by which the growth
of tho bulb will be cheoked. Onions
may be kept quite safely if thoroughly
dried and stored in a dry, cool place,
and if frozon in tho winter will not
take any harm if kept in that condi
tion anil thawed gradually in the
spring.—New York Times.
BREEDING CP STOCK.
When ongaged in breeding up a na
tive stock to some one of the improved
varieties, there should be a definite
point aimed at from tho first. This
must bo adhered to, or tho stock will
soon become entirely unreliable for
breeding. Our native animals are of
no particular breed, but if good speci
mens of their kind, they aro better to
breed from than a half-bred or threo
quarter-bred animal of some other
Htrain. For example, if you aro
breeding from a llolsteiu bull for
milk or butter, a half blood of short
horn or Jersey or Guernsey will not
givo as good results as will u first-rate
native cow. In tho former case thore
is prepotency on both sides and tho
offspring will be widely variant. With
a native cow and a thoroughbred bull
of any kind, the prepotency is all in
the same line. If tho breedingis con
tinued further tho same strain of
breed should bo used as at first. Tho
established breeds nre all too firmly
established to bo crossed moro than
once with auy certainty tbat the
breeding will perpetuate tho desirable
qualities on either sido of tho house.
—Eoston Cultivator.
TOE BEST BREED OF FOWLS.
Tho question of which is tlio best
breed of fowls narrows down to this:
What fowl do you liko best? Which
style and color takes your eye? Can
you give tho proper bousing aud care
that tho tenderer broeds require?
Will you have to subject your fowls
to just ordinary houses and care? Tho
breod ono fancies most will in the
majority of cases receive the best care,
which naturally results in tho most
profit. If ono prefers fino feathers
and a beautiful form and carriage
rather than a strictly economio fowl,
there are many brfceds from which to
mako a selection. If a general pur
pose fowl is wanted, the list to select
from wus never so long as it is to-day.
If beauty aDil utility combined are
wanted, there are several breeds to
select from, cither one of which should
satisfy any reasonable person. There
is much truth in the saying, "feed
makes the breed." The best breed in
tho world, whichever one may be so
considered by the owner, will be a
failure and disappointment if kapt
under unfavorable conditions and in
judiciously fed. Therefore wo would
add to the above, ''feed and care make
tho breed." We flo not know of any
breed which with proper care and feed
will not piove reasonably profitable
both in pleasure and money. In
making selection otie's circumstances
and surroundings sftould be taken into
account; where one breod would be
perfectly hardy fcnd thrive well,
another breed would not do at all well.
Therefore it behooves ono to guard
against letting a sudden fancy run
away with good judgment.
Those who are just considering tho
subject, I would earnestly advise
taking plenty of time to look the field
over thoroughly before making up
their minds. Ono is apt to be favor
ably impressed with the appearance
of a certain brood, which after due
thought would bo rejected for good
and sufficient rcosoi l , whereas if on
the first impulse it had been bought,
it would prove a disappointment and
flntail a loss. ThoSJj who are contin
ually changing the blreed very seldom
<vre satisfied with anything and usually
end by giving tho whole up in disgust.
—American Agriculturist.
crnimNft HORSES.
The horso is a Very cleanly animal,
and if he is not running in the fields
where he o»n roll snd rub, his hair
and skin should bo thoroughly oleaned
evory day to koop him in good health
and condition. Mud and. manure
should bo rubbed off with a handful
of straw or hay, and tho wet hair
wiped dry with other clean handfuls.
Thon tho whole skin shoald be gone
over with a currycomb having fine,
round, pointed teeth, followed by a
good, clean J>ru*h. Straw and dirt
should bo uutnn£led from the mane
and tail with the fingers. Cards pull
out too much biir, though a good,
blunt-toothed steel comb may be care
fully used. The most of tho cleaning
should bo done with the brush,
especially around the head and leg
bones, being careful that the brush or
dust does not get into his eyes. Then
tho whole body should bo wiped with
a soft cloth, beginning with hoad, and
tho resulting smooth coat of the horse
will well repay such daily care.
'i'lto principal rcosuu for regular and
thorough grooming is that the health
of the horse requires that the pores ol
the skin be kept open by removing
dnst and secretions, and that both skin
and mnseles be rubbed to replaoe the
natural muscular movements which
the stabling and work prevent. The
good results of oareful grooming are
so apparent that a person with the
healthy skin whioh follows from
proper bathing, rubbing and feeding,
is said to be well groomed.
Muddy legs and manure stains may
be washed off with warm water, being
careful to rub the hair and skin dry
immediately. In warm weather it is
a good plan to give the horse an oc
casional bath all over, and then rub
him dry, so that he does not ohill and
catch cold. The hard-working farm
horse should bo groomed three times
a day. At noon tho harness should be
removed acd the face and sweaty
places rubbed with soft fstraw or hay.
At night the shoulders, the back and
the muddy legs should be washed
off with warm water and rubbed
dry. Then and also in the morning
he should be rubbed all over with tho
brush and cloth or straw, using the
currycomb to remove dirt from tho
hair, and to clean the brush. Cleanli
ness pays.—Dicel McLaren, in Farm,
Field and Fireside.
FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.
After the loaves drop is a good timo
to prune the grape.
Take your choice, eggs or lioo. You
can't have both in the samo poultry
yard.
Stirring the soil in warm weather
makes it warmer by admitting more
outsido air. It also stimulates de
composition of any vegetable matter
that the soil contains, and thus di
rectly adds to the available supply of
fertility.
A teaspoonful of glyceriuo aud a
few drops of nitric acid to a pint of
drinking water will generally euro a
fowl that shows symptoms of,bronchi
tis, when accompanied with a gurg
ling sound in the tluoat, as if of
choking.
The moro manuro that tho farmer
applies the moro thorough should be
the cultivation of tho crop. Only thus
can its full value be secured. Besides,
unless tho cultivator is kept busy, tho
manure makes the weeds grow as well
as tho crop.
Much can yet bo dono to mako tho
poultry quarters comfortablo for win
ter woather. Tho roof may bo mend
ed, tho walls battened, or lined with
paper, the broken glass roplaced with
now, or a sash put into a front that
now has none.
A colt was to all appearances nearly
dead, tho breath of lifo boing barely
perceptible. It soon rovivod by giv
ing it a couple of fresh eggs. Tho
same results havo attended tho admin
istering of eggs to weak cattle and to
feeble, chilled lambs.
All sick or ailing fowls should be nt
onco separated from tho rest of tho
flook. Tho ounce .of prevention in
removing them is often worth moro
than the pound of euro needed for the
others, among whom thoy, by remain
ing, spread contagion.
Experimenting with mongrol fowls
in these davs is very poor business at
tho bost, when thoro is such an abun
dance of prime stock to commenco
with. It is just as cheap to breed the
better kinds of poultry at tho outset,
as to keep poor trash.
If a littlo salt wero putin food
every day and ashes put where tho
poultry can havo aocess to them, thoy
would never eat their eggs unless tho
eggs freeze and the shell cracks open.
Hens seldom eat their eggs except dur
ing the winter monthß.
It has been "recommended, in order
to prevent hens from eggs, to
put two tablespoonfuls of lino salt and
one-half pint of wood ashes in one
quart of corn meal, or in that ratio,
and mix with boiling water ; feed once
a day until they leave off eating their
eggs.
No artificial heat is wanted for lay
ing hens. Make the pens close and
comfortable; that is all that is re
quired; the hens will do the rest.
Artificial heat always weakens, and
activity is always at the bottom of
good health, whether with man or
beast.
It is necessary to watoh the corners
or there will be no profit with your
fiooks. How many old and worthless
roosters are you feeding? They are
not only useless and expensive, but
annoy the hens and interfere with tho
egg product. Do not keep the old
hens either.
Few eggs need bo expected unless
the hens are in a bright, healthy con
dition. While ground feed is most
conveniently kept in a trough, whole
seeds should bo scattered among oloan
straw or litter, to compel them to JX
ercise. This will usually do away with
egg eating, feather pulling, cto.
Did you eve? know wheat to be so
cheap? Boil it soft and stir up with
littlo potatoes and other fall wastes
like turnips, cabbages, sweet apples,
etc. Perhaps this ration will not make
fat pork, but it keeps the digestion
and appetite good, and, O, how it
makes the winter pigs growl Garo
and brains make pork profits.
Kerosene emulsion can most easily
bo applied vo stook to destroy lice and
prevent the attack of the horn-fly by
the sprayer, whioh is designed origin
ally for applying spraying mxturos
to fruit trees. A hand sprayer is tho
most convenient, and with a fine noz
zle A very small quantity will be suffi
cient, whereas by hand and sponge
application the work will require
much more liquid and take muoh more
time.
At Baden-Baden, the oelebrated spa
and summering resort, the municipal
ity has restored and put into order
Roman baths that wero dust out in
one of the parks. They wero in good
Bhape except tho hypocaustum, and
aro now accessible.

Mrs. Helen Moyere, whose homo is at 3315
Vernon avenue, Chicago, an J whoso visit to
Keokuk, la., will long bo remembered, was
at onetime afflicted with a UJTVOUS malady
which at times drove hor nearly to distrac

ot the past," she said the other day to u
Gate City representative, "and there is qulto
a story in connection with it too.
"My nervous system sustained a great shook
some fifteen yers ago, brought on, I boiieve,
through too much worrying over family

whenever my affairs at home did not go

Tlio Brazilian Anaconda.
The late Mr. Bates, in bis elevon
years spout in the Brazilian forests,
saw and heard more of tlie habits of
the anaconda than most travelers,
tbougli, like other great serpents, the
individuals of this species are so little
common that their appearance in any
one district is too infrequent to make
a special bttidy of their habita part of
tbo day's work'of a busy naturalist.
Bates's first personal experience of the
creature shows how impossible it is to
avoid the pythom by the ordinary
means of isolation sufficient to keep
other dangerous creatures at a dis
tance. He was at anchor, in a large
boat, iu deep water, in the port of
Antonio Malagueita.
An anaconda swam out to the boat,
lifted its head from tho water, broke
in tho side of a fowlhouse on deck, and
carried off a couple of fowls. It was
found that this snake had been steal
ing ducks and fowls from this part of
the river for months, so a hunt was
organized, miles of river bank were
searched, and the serpent at last found
sunning itself in a muddy creek and
killed. It was "not a large specimen,
only eighteen feet nine inches long."
But Mr. Bates measured skins of ana
condas which were twonty-one feet in
length and two feet in girth, and ho
adds: "There oau bo no doubt that
this formidable serpent grows to an
enormous bulk, and lives to a great
age, for I have heard of specimens
having been killed which measured
forty-two feet in length, or double the
size of the largest which I had the op
portunity of examining." We must
add a correction here. They were
double the length; but the eize of
these great reptiles, like that of fish,
increases enormously with every addi
tion in longitudinal growth.
A snake of twenty feet in length
would be probably four times the
weight of one ten feet long, and the
bulk of a forty-foot anaconda would
approach that of the largest crocodile.
Since the publication of"The Natura
list's Voyage on the Amazons'f an ana
conda of twenty feet has been brought
to the Natural History Museum at
South Kensington. A neighbor of
Bates, in Brazil, nearly lost his ten
year-old son by the attack of an ana
conda. He had left the boy in his
boat while he went to gather fruit, and
on his return found him encircled by
the snake,'whose jaws the father seized,
end actually tore them asunder.—The
Spectator,
Healthy Bank Notes.
The Bank of England never reis
sues a note. Every bill passed over
its counter from the inside is crisp
and new, free from bacteria, bacilli,
miorobes or any other disease germs.
A London newspaper states that even
if a customer should draw a check,
receiving these new bill, aud then de
cide that ho preferred coin, tbo man
in charge of this department would
take the notes, tear a corner from
each, and pass over the gold. The
bills are then burned without cere
mony.
The Bank of Frcnco also issuos only
new notes, but for fourteen years it
has turned the old ones into pulp in
stead of burning them. It takes about
twenty-four hours to transform them
into a blackish pulp, useful only for
the backs of ledgers or cardboard of
low quality. As a sanitary measure
this destruction is probably wise, and
in the end may bo even economical.
Some of our American bank notes
tako on an alarmingly unhealthy look
before they get into the furnace.

As Strange as a Novel.
Tho identity of Ashford, who mnr»
dered his wife and children at Van
couver, British Columbia, and then
attempted to take his own life, has
been partly discovered by his private
papers. These papers show that Ash

Ashford disgraced his family by a

the leaders in aristocratic society, his
actions created scandal, and as dis
