1 We Get the Best Lemons. Considerable information about Iflraons, which are now coming into tho market in large quantities, is con tained in a letter from Louis H. Bruhl, United States Consul to Catania, Sici ly, and published in tho United States consular reports for April. Lemons, Hr. Brnhl Bays, begin to ripen in Sep tember, and are picked from Novem ber to April. The November crop is tlie hardiest and best. Tt will keep until early summer, and is storod un til lato in tho spring,and then shipped. Tho lemons ore picked greet), but turn yellow in tlio boxos. Boforo tho fruit is shipped abroad it is taken out of the boxes and repacked. That which is bruised or specked and which would probably rot in transit is cither peeled and tho juice pressed out or cut up with tho peel in halves or quarters and packed in barrels with brino (sea water, generally, with some salt ad ded) and shipped to London or Livcr erpool for confectioners' use. The best of tho crop comes to this country. The next best goes to England. The small, greenish tinged lemons that are sold hero early in tho fall are secured as follows: The trees are al lowed to suffer for water during tho suminor months. About September 1 plenty of water is given them, and tho Boil around them is thoroughly culti vated. Tho trees put forth small dwarfish flowers, which during tho following summer will bring forth tho email lemons that sell in this city fre quently "twenty-fivo for a quarter." This crop is harvested in Juno and July, and stands exportation even bet ter than tho choice November fruit. Thero is no such practico as curing lemons. They are gathered and packed in boxes. After fifteen days they aro repacked and held until shipped. Boxes of winter fruit hold about 300 lemons, whilo from 3GO to 400 of tho smaller summer fruit is often packed in one crate.—Now York Press.

In judging of wool as to finenoss, commence at the shoulders, as there the finest wool is always found.

CIRCUMVENTING TIIE BEES. The way to keep tho bees oway from tho trough where your horses drink is to provido tho bees with water else where, for they need this liquid just as much as horses and cattle. Mako one or more shallow wooden troughs for the bees, and place them near the hives, and then see that they arc kept full of clean water. Do this now, for the bees select their drinking places early in the spring, and if tho water does not fail them they will not seek it elsewhere. If you will make two troughs for tho bees and in ono put a little salt in tho water, so much the belter, for bees aro somewhat partial to slightly salted or brackish water.— New York Sun. CALF-PAIL HOLDER. Hero is a simple device for holding a pail when feeding tho cnlves: First, make a frame out of plank a foot wide and long enough to accommodate the number of calves to bo fed, leaving the bottom open. Take a board one foot wide; with a keyhole saw cut holc3 large enough to take a pail in half way up the sides, in number equal to the number of calves. Nail this on the top of tho plank framo. Fasten the whole to the sido of the barn, or, if to bo used out of doors, to the fence, EO that it cannot bo moved away. When Iho timo comes to feed set tho pails along in the holes and pour the milk in. By this means you givo caeli calf its own mess, and tho pails cannot bo tipped over.—Con necticut Farmer. ICEEF AHEAD OF THE WEEDS. Thero is ouly ono economical way to fight weeds—that is to keep ahead of them. When they are just break ing through the ground they can be slaughtered with less labor than at any other time. That is the time to taue them in hand. A little later and the work will bo doubled. Too many overlook this fact. In many towns live per cent, off is allowed on all taxes paid before a certain date, and men hustle to pay their tax and save that five per cent. A much larger per cent, off is secured by tho man who takes the weeds in season. Ono can go over a garden with an iron rako when tho weeds are just breaking ground, and in an hour's timo ac complish wonders. A week later ho will havo to take his hoo and labori ously cut, cut, cut. And even then ho doesn't destroy li.vlf as many of tho roots of weeds as ho would havo done a week before with tho rako. Neglect ing the weeds is something one sim ply cannot afford.—American Agri culturist. wKtrriNa r. ALKT noitsEs. Notwithstanding tho fact that the press continually admonishes whom it may concern that it does no good to whip or pound a balky ho'se, almost every owner or driver of one does it to-day. It is probable the greatest piece of horse folly in existence. It is not a remnant of barbarism, but it is continued barbarity, and brings out what original and acquired sin there is in a man. The brain of a horso can retain bnt one idea at a time. If the idea is to sulk, whipping only intensities it. A change of that idea, then, is the only successful method of management. This may be accomplished in scores of ways, a few of which will bo named. Tie a handkerchief about his eyes; tie bis tail tightly to tho bellyband or back band ; fasten a stick in his mouth ; tie a cord tightly about his log; un check and pet him awhile; clasp bis nostrils and shut, his wind off until ho wants togo; unhitch him from the vehicle and then hitch him up again, or almost any way to get his mind on something else. Whipping or scolding always docs harm. 'lhe treatment should ever bo gentle. There aro more balky drivers than hors.es.—National Stockman. CUHRANTS AND CIOOSEnEIiIUES. Sinco the advent of tho currant worm these fine fruits have been much neglected, writes W. L. Anderson, of Indiana. No others aro so highly relished. They come early when there is no substitute for them. For can ning they have no superior. They can be raised easily and cheaply, are a sure crop, will come into bearing the second year and always bring a good price on tbo market. I came past a number of gardens to day. In all of these wcro currant and gooseberry bushes, but not a single hill that would produce even fair ber ries. Tho grass and weeds wero abundant and some of tho bushes had, 1 think, 200 canes in tho hill. 1 never saw a currant or gooseberry bush thinned enough unless grown by a specialist. My finest fruit is gath ered from thoso hills that have a sin gle stalk, and if planted three feet apart will outyield any other method of thinning. 1 raise from rooting them in 1 e.lt. and plautiug nothing but well rooted plants. .1 plant four feet apart and plow them two years. No suckers are allowed to grow. When the bush is formed the new growth is well clipped each year. I would as soon think of leaving my hair undipped as my bushes. It will take but fifteen minutes to clip enough for ouo family's use. It makes liner berries, easier picking, and the bushes look so much neater. Homo plow their bushes every year, but I do uot alter the second. Yesterday I tried to dig into a patch live yenru old, and, though tho bushes are four l'eet apart, to force up n spadefivJ of dirt would break hun dreds of roots. I am sure plowing would injure them. I keep them heavily mulched, turning tho mulch over if it gets weedy. Thi9 can be qaickly done with a fork. For worms 1 use Paris green or London purple. I can save twenty bushels of goose berries in twenty minutes with a good sprayer. I begin as soon as the worms come. I give my patches a good dress ing of unlcached wood ashes every third year, and keep thom constantly mulched with course stablo manure. With sueh treatment I think a patch will last with undiminished yield for twenty-fivo years. Now England Home-tead. FARM AND GARDEN NOTES. It is easy to spoil a good horso by an ill-fitting collar. Always have a uniform quality, and tho berry box well filled. The hard-working horso requires nutritious footl to repair tho wear of body and muscle. A liaudtul of linseod meal added to the usual feed of a horso will tend to mako his coat shiny. A firm hand, a cool head and a soothing word will do far more than punishment with a frightened horse. Levelling tho feet and shoeing at tho proper timo will generally keep the horso in good working condition. Tho day of rubbor or elastio tires and ball-bearing axles is near at hand, when the eflicieucy of tho horso will be increasod. If you would havo a good market, offer only good borrio3, give good lueasuro and always doal honestly with your customers. If more farmers would keep a brood maro or two and raise a choice colt each year thero would bo more money in farming for them. The ground surface of tho orchard can bo made to yield a largo increase by turning it over to the chickens. This will also help to keep the trees free from insects. For scratches nothing is bettor than a real physic followed by two days of rest. At the same time clip the hair from the heels of tie horse nud apply sulphur ouo part to crudo potroleum two parts. Kemeraber: It costs no moro to raise good berries; it cost no moro to pick nud deliver good berries. Freight aud express charges are just the same, and when sold good berries always go first and bring largest prices. Tlio hens caino to the rescuo in good 6hape, when beef wcut up in price, aud many is the good meal that common people haro enjoyed from eggs at tweivo cents a dozen, when high-priced beet was out of the question. Old mos6v pastures that are to bo renovated should bo plowed aud n fertilizer of two parts boueblack to ono of muriate of potash applied. Use a sulky plow and you can turn two or throe acres per day. Any less thorough method is time thrown away. If your farm is all run down, and tho soil is poor, don't givo up iu de spair until you have tried poultry. It may bo you will display more en thusiasm, ambition and common Ecnso in that work thau you have iu regular farm work. If you do go iu to win, you will come out ahead. If your hens lay eggs that havo thin, soft shells, easily broken, givo them more lime iu somo shape. They must have proper material in order to tnrn out good goods. Go whero a house is being repaired and lug ofl'a lot of tho old plaster and throw iu tho yard. The hens will do tho rest. If you keep a largo breed of fowls like Cochins, Brahamas, etc., you should place the roosts near tho ground, as iu jumping to tho ground their l'ect becomo sore, and corns or buuehes develop on the bottom of the feet. For lighter breeds this pre caution is unnecessary, as they are not so clumsy. Primitive Fire Engines. Tho oldest known fire engine for pumping water is probably tho one mentioned in tho Spiritalia of Hero, about 150 B. 0. This engine, it is said, wns contrived with two single i\ct inj pimin with a single beam piv oted between tho two for working tho plungers. Tho streams of water united in a siuglo disoharge pipo and passed up a trough having au air chamber, aud out of a nozzle which might be turned iu any direction as desired. Fire engines appear also to havo been used extensively by tho early Romans, who furthermore or ganized regular lire brigades. Iu tho early part of tho sixteenth century, a lire engine knowu as a "water syring" was introduced, which, iu a measure, resombled tho modern forms of lire ougiaes. This was mounted on wheels and the water was poured by levers. This form of en gino was very generally used iu Ger many. Iu England about tho same time large brass syringes were used. These held several quarts of water and wcro operated by threo men, two ol thein holding the syringo at each side with ono hand and dircoting to nozzle with tho other, whilo tho third oper ated tlio plunger. It was necessary, after having discharged tho water from the syringe, to roiill it from a well or cistern near tho tiro or from buckets. Tho syringes were later lifted to portable tnuks of water. Tho first successful tiro engine was probably tho Newshaiu engine, aud this was tho pioneer of manually oper ated firo engines. Tho pumps it these engines were built on many dif ferent designs, but iu most cases tliej wcro operated fcby levers. Firo en giues similar in form to Iho Newsham engine wero iu use up to theycar 1850. Philadelphia Inquirer.

If soup is desired frequently, stock for making it qniokly can always bo on band. With your meat cleaver, cut up all the bones left from your roa6ts and beefsteaks, and keep them in a covered stone jar. When you bave sufficient, put them on and boil for three hours; strain this into an earthen vessel, and set aside to cool. A thick top of grcaso will riso to tho turfaoe, which can be taken off and used for frying purposes. Tho meat juice beneath, whioh sometimes is n thick jelly, can be diluted, if not tvantod strong. With tho addition of some cooked vegetables, soup cau readily be made from this.—Boston Cultivator. TO REMOVE STAINS. Table linen should be carefully looked over before washing, as soap sets stains. For fruit stains puts a small teaspoonful of tartaric acid or salts of lemon in a tablespoonful of water. Stir until dissolved. Wet tho stain with it, and lay the linen in the sun again. Most fruit sti.ins, if taken in season, can bo easily removed from linen by putting tho stained portion over a bowl and pouring a stream of boiling hot water through it. But whon they are obstinate, acids have to bo used. For iron rust use lemon juice thickened with equal quantities of salt, cornstarch and soft soap. Spread this on the spots and lay tho linen on tho grass in tho sua. This is one of the safest methods, as it docs not injure tho fabrio. Javello water is sometimes used when everything else fails.—Now York Advertiser. SCREEN DOORS AND WINDOWS. Screen doors and windows arc ft blessing which tho tidy liouskeoper can scarcely do without. By their proper adjustment and uso but few flies gain an entranco oven to tho kitchen. Unless you aro very handy with tools it will prove cheaper to purchaso the screens of tho desired sizo already framed, and as a matter of durability, get those for tho doors that aro providedjwith corner irons, as they will keop their form longsr, und provo more durable. For tho lower sash of windows thoso that cau be ad justed or removed each day aro most desirable. At tho approach of winter both door aud window screens should bo cleaned and set away for uso tho fol lowing season, aud after two years' uso, if in an exposed situation, tho wiro portion should bo repainted. Thin, green paint gives the best ap pearance. Be careful that tho paint does not at somo points remain aud cover tho space between tho wires. Should it do so, simply freo tho brush from paiut and push tha end of it through tho screen r.t the point of trouble: Doors frequently bccomo warped or do not shut closoly. By moviug tho catch or fastener up or down they cau sometimes bo rnado again to behave; if not, when putting away for tho winter place them so tho rofructory part will bo held in tho desired position and by tho following season they will bo all right. In tho absonco of wiro screens, common mosquito nettiug may bo tacked to tho lower portion of tho upper sash, and to tho window sill and sides, and will provo effective foi one season, after which it should bo removed. This cloth is not desirable for doors. —Now England Homestead. RECITES. Potato Balls—One cup of cold mashed potatoes, mix with one beaten egg, season with pepper and salt and make into balls.

A tiger in Tennessee may be set down as a decided novelty, and the ac count ot its capture makes an inter esting story. One day a circus came to Knoxville, and on the eve of departuro tho oircus wagons were being loaded on the cars. A Bwitch engine was shoving some cars about when oae of them becamo derailed, colliding violently with two cage wagons and the cage containing three tigers was badly damaged. The woodwork was crushed in, leaving a hole of sufficient size for tho tigers to get out. 1 One of the animals leapod from the cage onto the flut car and from thero to the ground. Tho two remaining ones wero about to follow suit when the trainer ond several other employes of the oircus rushod up to the cago and prevented tho exit. But one of tho tigers was at large, and as soon as the fact became known a stampede of tho people in the vicinity occurred, while the circus men rushed to inform the managers. Preparations for tho capture of the tiger were made. One of tho Texas cowboys, and the ono most perfect in handling a lasso, was detailed to make tho attempt. Tho man handling tho tiger was also instructed to assist iu the dangerous duty, and tho pair went to work. They located tho tiger about a stone's throw from the cage in which ho had been confined. The hugo brute was crouched under a box car between tho rails. His eyes shouo brightly andlookcd to his captors as large as two full moons. A large dry goods box was procured, a hole bored in tho bottom, and the box placed on its sido convenient lo the animal. Ono end of the lasso was shoved through tho hole and the Texan threw the rope. His judgment was perfect and tho lariat dropped over the neck and left foreleg of tho tiger to a nicely. Then began the work of landing tho animal in the box. Ho was pulled up to it slowly, and although ho resistod considerably, was at last safely lodged iu tho box, but not until he had torn off one glove worn by tho cowbowand lacerated his hand badly. Tho box was then nailed up and the tiger hauled away, growl ing spitefully. Atlanta Constitution.
