nut Man May Owe the Spider. ' It can not be reasonably doubted that one of tlio most interesting fea tures connected witli tbe natural his tory of spiders is their habit of gain ing a livelihood by spreading nots for the capture of prey. It may be thai' the largo share of the attention oI naturalists that this habit has attract ed is to be attributed to the fact thai it appeared to be confined in the ani' mal world to spiders and men. This circumstance is of itself enfll ciently remarkable to call for special comment; but its interest is not a lit tie enhanced by tho rctlection that, einco spiders made their appearance in tho history of auimnl life vast ages before man came upon tho scene, none of us can justly claim that any mem ber of our own kind was tho lirst in tho invention of tho art of netting. Possibly, indeed, the oft-repcated and unavoidable observation of the cfll cacy of a spider's web tor tho purpose of catching otherwise unobtainable prey may liuvo roused in the brain of Home intelligent hunter among our an cestors the idea of the practical utility of a similar instrument for tho capture of lisli or other eatable forms of lifo. Hut if this be so, civilized man ha? Jong forgotten tho debt of gratitude he owes to spiders. For, to the aver age individual among us, a spider is a thing to be looked upon and spoken of with fear and dislike amounting to loathing, and to bo ruthlessly de stroyed when a safo chance of destruc tion is afforded.—Nature.

The first purpose in cultivation is to make the soil fine, so that soeds may germinato freely in it, and the roots of plants may run freely through it. But an object scarcely less im portant is to increaso soil fertility by mixing surface and under soil to gether, and thus promoting their fer mentation. It is for this that corn potato ground is harrowed after the seed is planted. On moderately rich soil two such cultivations are equal to the addition of several loads of man ure per acre. An incidental advan tage is that such harrowing of tho surface destroys all weeds as quickly as their seeds germinato. Boston Cultivator. A HORSE THAT CANNOT BE LED. It is tho fault of the training that a horse cannot be lod by a baiter. This should be tho first lesson taught to the colt. It is difficult to teacn an old horse, but it may be done by an ex perienced person by using a strong halter, and taking short hold of it, so as to control tho head, and thus lead ing the horse in a small yard. Possi bly the horse has been whipped for this fault, and the association of ideas causes his refusal. Try a little sugar. Poultry should not bo kept in a horse stable, as they are usually infested by lice, which then goon to the horses. Horses have been worried to death in this way without tho cause being BUS pected. Mix a pint of kerosene with as much strong F.olutiou of common soap, in hot water, and beat up top cream. Add a quart of water, and beat it up somo more, and sponge the horses with the emulsion, brushing it well into the hair. It will kill the lioe. —New York Times. THE BEST OF FODDER 3. The man who in tho future intends to feed cattle through the winter, and to do it profitably, in competition with the balance of the feeding world, will have to mako sure of having an abundance of fodder for roughness, and it must not be fed where it grew, nor the stock turned out in the cold to gather it. Wo havo an abundance of fodder plants, a luxurious abuud ancc of them, indeed, and some of them the best in the world. What we havo to do is thoroughly plow and pre pare the seed bed ; do it as well as it cun bo done. Then putin the seed, bo it what it may, and court and cul tivate as best we know how, and when the time comes harvest and store it where it can bo handily fed. Our grain will not only go faither, but do better for having plenty of good roughness togo with it, and tho stock will do well again under shelter aB they would iu the stalk fields. There is hardly a better crop to bo raised for this pur pose than sorghum ; it makes a heavy growth, possesses more saccharine matter than any other, and is relished and oaten with avidity by stock of all kinds.—Coleman's Rural Wolld. GOOD PREPARATION FOR CORN". Some growers will not accept tho statement that half tho culture of a corn crop should be given before tho corn is planted, but thousands attost its truth, remarks an oxohauge. The food of tho plant must bo prepared bo forehand, and that is accomplished by tearing tho sod in a most thorough manner. If the land has been proporly plowed with the uso of u jointer, five or six inches under tho surtace, it will decay rapidly. Wo aro after tho mil lions of roots that form tho sod. With disk or spring tooth harrow they fahould bo torn to pieces and every clod of earth pulverized. There should bo four inches of soil on tho surface, ready to surrender up its plant food to the young corn plaut. Tho tramp ing of the horses and tho preparation of tho seed beds firms the earth and grass at tho bottom o! the furrow, so that soil water from beneath can rise. Tho grass readily ferments and gives up its plant food, Tho com plait has n chauco to do its best, has tho heat fermentation gives, has food, has the needed air thut passes in when or ganic matter is present in tho soil, and has moisture from beneath. Of course, it takes a little more timo to prepare u seed bed in this way, but with im proved implements tho work is done rapidly, and after tillage is saved.— Atlanta Journal, NEW FORAGE CROrS. New forage crops have been tested for years at tho Massachusetts Station, twenty-seven different crops having been grown last year that are adapted to Ohio and tlio Middle States. Dr. Goessman advised raising mixod crops, bay summer vetoh and oats, as they produco lnrgcr yields than when grown singly. Sow together fofty to forty-fivo pounds summer vetoh to four bushels oats, and seed early in June. Tho fodder is highly nutritious, and may bo cut green and fod for two or three weeks or cured for hay. Sown at various times, it will grow through the season. Vetch and oats, or vetoh and barley, will both cut three and a half to four tons of dry hay per acre. Tho latter mnko an excellent fodder, containing sixteen to seventeen per cent, protein, in digestive value corre sponds with clover, does not need grain, and can be used as either green feed, ensilage or dried hay. Barley is not ns good as oats. Winter vetoh ought to oomo cp iu April. Rye sown the previous fall should make a good f*aily feed, tierradalla produces twelve to thirteen tons of green feed per aero. If green feed far the season is wanted, begin with vetch and oats, then green fioji bears, and later oora della. By August 1, or when tho ker nels glaze, gr va fodder may be cut. While th<j nverago cut of buy is but one ton per acre, oats nud votch will produco three and « half times as much weight, with fifty par cent, more iood value.—American Agriculturist. I'l'i HAISI.,O Tio chief trouble with pig raising f.s practised by m'.ny farmers « that I the pigs arc not kept growing. This lie a matter of primo importanoe, for tbe eare and attention given to them will surely show in tbe final reaulta. They must be kept warm and dry and be furnished with good, elean, suita ble food at regular intervals. Negleot ono day cannot be counterbalanced by overfeeding the next. At its birth a pig should weigh about three pounds. At the end of one month it should have incroasod to fifteen pounds and should be ready for market at the ago of sovon or eight months, for with the average farmer thore is very little profit in feeding pigs after they reaoh a weight of 250 pounds. The most pork is made with the least feed on youngor pigs. The cost of pork is fifty per cent, greater if mado iu tho tenth month than in the fifth month in the food consumed. Quick returns and quick profits should be the aim of the swine breeder. It is well to remem ber that the profit in an auimal fed for market does not always lie in its heavy weight, but rather in what it has cost to produce that weight; hence only animals of quick growth should be reared. Pigs must bo kopt steadily growing from the start, and pushed as much as possible without crowding. This last must be carefully avoided,'as it will more than neutralize any benefits al ready obtained. Qood succulent food and grain are necessary to obtain the rapid growth desired, and sour slop should never bo fod. Cleanliness and regular feeding at stated hours aro the best preventives of disease—Now York World. FARM AND GARDEN NOTES. Do not grain-feed the fowls too heavily. May is not too late to plant sun flower seeds. Keep the brooder as near 100 do grees as possible. See that the poultry houses are kept clean and free from bad odors thoso days. Have some regard for the comfort of your flocks. Feed more—most any thing than corn in hot weather. Hyacinthus Caudicans ure stately and majestic ia appearance. Thoy grow from bulbs unci should bo taken up in the fall. If the hens aro coniinod bo sure thoy are induced to seruteh for thoir living. And give them some groen stuff every day. Plenty of fresh water, lime, gravel and green stuff aro just us necessary now as in winter. Do not neglect furnishing theso. The littlo chicks should havo shade and water, but not drafts and wet. Tight roofs, dry floors but fresh drinking water handy to bo constantly gotten at. If you wish a sure blooming roso-- one that is hardy, beautiful in color, clean and strong in foliage, and pro fuse in flowering, just plant the Mrs. John Laing and you will havo it. Poultry raisers aro cautionod against permitting tho fowls to spend the hot summer days exposed to the direct rays of tho sun. A board 01 two raised oven *wo feet from the ground will pro ic a shade. It is useful to inow that tlio natu ral enemy of the common green lice of plants is tlio pretty little ladybug, and to catch a few of tlieso and sot tlieni free on alico-infested plant will quick ly result in the disappearance of the troublesome pests. The old Turner rod raspberry is one of tho most reliable, and is uotod for its hardinoss. Wo are not thinkiug of discarding it yet, in spito of the new kinds offered. It is of delicious flavor—melting and sweet, unsur passed for the home table aud market, although too soft for distant shipment. Whilo it produces many suckers these are no disadvantage where proper cul ture is given. The canes aro strong and thornloss, which is indeed a good point in their favor. Thoy should be cut low, say three and a half to four feet, and will need no stakes or wires. Journeying iu Madagascar, The bulk of my baggage had beer left in Tamatave, and was to be sent on by tho next monthly French mail steamer to Zanzibar, my ultimate des tination. I expected to meet a like steamer at Nosy Be, a Fronch port and island on the northwest coast, with which I learned I-might connect by means of a small French steamer which periodically served the principal ports on the west coast of the island. By thus crossing Madagascar I hoped to familiarize myself with its three great races. The Bakalavas on the western portion of the island have always borne a bad name, which they have in part merited, though high-handed aggressions of foreigners ought often to be urged in mitigation thereof. I was warned to keep my revolver in readiness and my escort near at hand, and so determined to take chances of a safe passage to the sea. The direct distance from the capital to Mojanga is two hundred and forty miles in a general northwest direction, though this distance, by many deviations and changes of level, is longthened by the traveled route into about three hun dred and eleven miles. Of this latter distance some two hundrod miles are by land ia flauzaua and the remaindor by water in pirogue and dhow, or email sailboat. The total journey may readily be accomplished in ten days. The country through which I would have to pass was Raid to divido itself naturally into three sections: the first was similar to that eastward of tho capital, a treeless region of moors and hills. This was the most inhabited. It consisted of four broad terraces which fell rapidly toward tho sea. The road, however, leading as it did ob liquely across these terraces, presented on the whole easy gradients. Then came a section of nearly uninhabited wilderness, wooded and undulating. The third section contained tho cul tivated hills and plains of the Sakal uyas.—Popular Science Monthly. HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS. USES OP LIHXWATIH. Limowatei should always bo kept in the summer. A toaoupful added to bread sponge trill prevent souring. A little in cream or milk will retard acidity several hours.

Have abundanoe of clean llaunel and cotton near by. With a little benzine on a small pieoe of flannel go over the entire glove, finger by finger. As soon as the flan nel bocomes soiled exchange it for clean. Do not use enough benzine to saturato the leather, but simply onongh to clean off the soiled spots. Rub tho gloves from the finger tips, generally downward nnd upward, and not in a circular way or across the leather. After using the gasoline on a soft spot rub it with clean flannel until it seems perfectly dry. Only tho very highest quality of benzine, or, better still, gasoline can bo used. When the gloves are thor oughly cleaned rub them with clean flunnei and abundance of talcum pow der. This powder can bo bought at any first class drug store, and ten cents' worth is ordinarily enough for a year's supply. Kub the leather thor oughly in every part with this talcum powder. It makes tli6 glovo not only pliable and pleasant to wear, like a new glove, but it puts a soft bloom on the leather.—Milwaukee Journal. OHYSTAIdZINO FRUITS. Few confections are more delicious than candied fruit, and, too, few sweetmeats are more expensive, sixty cents a pound being tho regulation price, and a pouud represents a very small amount. They can be prepared at about half tho cost, however, at home, if care is taken. Cherries, currants, pine-apples, apricots, pears and poachos aro best experimented upon. The two former can bo used in bunches; the pino applo is sliced across the fruit, each piece being a good quarter inch thick; apricots aro cut on ono side and the stone sliped out, while pears and poachos are halved, anil, of course, peeled. Make a vory thick syrup, pound for pound, adding for each pound a small cup of water. Bail the sugar first, thou drop in tho fruit, and when they have boiled clear tako out and drain from tho syrup. If the cherries are stoned (tho red oxhearts make tho finest, being not so sweet as the white and without tho rank tartness of the sour red ones), it is nice to string thom on a broom splint as they can bo more cleverly handled. Sprinkle liberally with powdered sugar, lay on a sieve, and set the fruit iu n warm oven. I used a wire dish, such as our grandmothers kept fruit in, sot within another dish to catch the syrup. Iu two hours turn tho fruit, sprinkle with sugar again. Keep this up until the sugar has all dripped out. Ou no account have the oven hot, as it will dry the fruit and leavo it like so much leather. Ami, of course, the fruit must bo laid iu single rows when drying. When the juice has evaporated and tho sugar has formed a glazed surface, put away iu boxes in a dry place. Waxed paper should be laid betweou each layer. A bureau drawer is us good a place as auy to keep them. Detroit Free l'ross. RECIPES.
