The Telautograph In I'M. The practical one which was mail? of Professor Eliaha Gray's Intent in ▼ention, the telautograph, laatFriday, in transmitting autograph letters from Cleveland, Ohio, bv means of an ordinary telegraph wire 431 milos to the office of a Chicago newspaper, amounts, it is claimed, to a domon stration of the fitness of this now in strnment to servo the purpose foi which it was designed. Seven yoar# the inventor has been at work per footing the transmitting and reooivinq instruments, aud he was able to show some creditable results five years age when tbo first public experiments were made. Later at tbo World's Fair he made an exhibition of tho powers of his machine, which was considered wonderful, but it was only two months ago that a long-distance test was suc cessfully made showing that tbo in vention bad become entirely practical. This test was between London and Paris, a distance of over 300 miles, and the results were satisfactory at every point. In this country tho first practical use of tho new device was tho Cleveland-Chicago correspondence of last Friday. Autograph letters and original drawings wore reproduced by electricity with only a few seconds loss of time at a distance of hun dreds of miles from the writer, and tho copy was exact in evory line and dot, a faithful reproduction. The instruments by means of which this wonder is accomplished are simplo in construction but very delicately ad justed. Every motion made by tho pencil in tho hand of the writer at tho transmitting instrument is reproduced by an automatic pen at tho receiver, and a perfect copy is the result. The advantage of the device is that it enables any person to send his own messago without the intervention of n skilled operator, and it provides u way for bankers to sign papers or for busi ness men to make out documents in a distant city without' tho delay of tho mail or tho ineonveuience of going there in person.—NewYork Post. Bee Trees in Florida. Fivo men went out to cut two bee trees about four miles from Winder mere, Fla., that one of tho party bad found the day before. After cutting one tree aud taking twenty-seven pounds of honey, a gum was placed in position and the queen beo caught and placed in the gum. Tho party left foi the other tree, a distance of a half mile. On returning to get the bees a little dog that was with them began to bark. Ongoing to see what it meant a huge gopher snake eight feet ton inches long and twenty aud a half inches in circumference was found and in his mouth a rattlesnake about four feet long with six rattles and but ton. The large suako had the rattler about half swallowed when found. A large number of these trees have been found in that vicinity this spring. About thirty-sevou have boeu cut since the first of March, aud about 150 pounds of honey has been secured. Two trees cut last week netted more than sixty pounds of honey. —Savan nah News.

GETTING BEEVES HEADY FOB MARKET. Finishing off beovos quickly for market is highly important at times, and never more so than now when the continuance of present high prices can only be conjectured. It is a most favorable time, therefore, to fatten and cell not only all creatures that will make prime beef, but all farrow cows, light oxen or lean steers and any description of neat cattle that can no longer bo kept at a profit. As a rule, the sooner a farmer is quit of such stock the better. Rich pasture and heavy feeding with cotton seed or linseed (crushed or ground), wheat bran, oat meal or corn meal, will put these cattle in passable condition in a surprisingly short time. Begin with a small quautity when cattle are not used to grain, increasiug the allowance steadily until they are taking all they can eat without apparent detriment.— New England Homestead. A PAYING BUSINESS. The most salable farm animal to day is a first-class dairy cow. We of ten wonder why more farmers back on the hilly, rough pasture farms do not make a business of raising heifers of good milking strains to supply milk men in the milk-producing counties. Let the milch cow pass the first two years of her life on cheap land and not try to pay interest on costly laud until she is able to givo milk. Last year we told of a Massachusetts far mer who takes his hiefers by rail to cheap pastures in Maine every spring, wintering even on grey-liay and oil aud cotton-seed meals. Theso hiefers aro sold to milkmen with their first calf. We believe that a niau could, in a few years, establish a reputation for good milking stock, and be as sured of a steady income. Homo men can make this pay better than ordin ary dairying.—Rural New Yorker. PREMATURE SOURNESS OF MILK. This common trouble in hot weather is mostly due to some infection of the milk by acid of previous miikings ad hering to the pails. Sometimes it may be caused by overheating of the cows, but rarely. Tho most common cause is neglect perfeotly to clean the pails or milkpans. Theso should first be cleaned in cold water, in which com mon washing soda is dissolved. A stifT brush is used to clean the corners thoroughly. Tho vessels aro then rinsed with hot water twice, then again with cold, and then turned bot tom upward on a stand in a shady place out of doors to drain for an hour or two, when they should be re moved to tho dairy room. Beforo being used they should bo rinsed with perfectly pure cold water. It is alleged, and possibly with truth, that in tho majority of instances in which diseases have been conveyed in milk tho cause has been the use of impuro water for rinsing the utensils.—New York Times. PLANTING TREES ON TIIE SURFACE. It is customury to dig a holo for the tree to be transplanted; but this is not necessary to success. There are places where tho rock comes BO near the surface that there is not room to dig ahole without putting tho roots ou the rock. The treo may then bo set on tho surface of the ground, first re moving or turning over tho sod, so that the roots will not come in contact with that. A tree thus planted, with its roots spicad on line mould and covered with sufficiency of soil pro cured from a distance to hold it in position, is better fitted for growing than are most trees set in a hole and covered even with the surrounding surface. Stakes should bo driven into the soil beside theso trees, and tho trees should be tied to them until they become firmly rootod. This plan is of advantage where stag nant water comes near tho surface, as tho treo is thus put on a mound and is not obliged to extend its roots into the subsoil.—Boston Cultivator. CURING GRASSES AND CLOVERS. Tho natural grasses, when cut for hay, aro generally spread aud dried as rapidly as possiblo iu order to fcocure them iu tho best possiblo condition. Tbo samo method is not applicable to the clover crop. It requires a longer timo to cure properly, and if exposed to the scorohingsun it is injured moro thnn the natural grasses, since its suc culent leaves and tender blossoms are quickly browned and lose their sweet ness in a measure, and aro themselves liable to be wasted iu handling over. Many prefer curing in tbo cock. Mow clover when dry nnd free from dow ; let it wilt, and the same day it is mown fork it into cocks which will weigh from forty to fifty pounds when fit for tho barn. Do not rake and roll, as that- will compress it too much. Place it iu tho barn according to tho weather, but it may bo safely mowed away while iho heads and stalks are comparatively green uud fresh. When fit to cart, the green stalks will be found to be destitute, or nearly so, of sap, as the sap has candied and the clover will keep. On the day of cart ing tnrn the cocks over, expose tire bottom to tho sun an hour or so, and to each ton of hay ns it goes into tho mow add four to six quarts of salt.— American Agriculturist. CHICKEN CHOLERA. We havo no confidence in remedies for chicken cholera, aud believe the prevention is the only thing that can bo done. When cholera breaks out among fowls the first thing to bo doue is to separate tbo sick from the well fowls. At once give a change of food, which should be of a nourishing oharaoter. Many writers believe iu giviug iron iu some form. The old method was to put rusty nails in the drinking water. English poultryinen uso what is known as "Douglas Mix ture." This can be mado by putting eight ounces of sulphate of iron (also called copperas or green vitriol) into a jug (uever uso a metallic vessel), with two gallons of water, adding one onnce of sulphuric acid (oil of vitriol). The ingredients can be obtained of any druggist. This medicine is to be put into the drinking water in the proportion of a teaspoonful to a pint, and is found to be a useful tonio. As soon as the disease breaks out give this to the sick fowls and also to the well ones to help them resist the dis ease. One writer says that ho made a saturated solution of alum, aud when ever a bird was attacked gave it two or three teaspoonfuls, repeating the dose next day. He mixed their feed, Indian meal, with alum water for a week. After adopting that course he lost no fowls. Others advooato cay enne pepper, gunpowder and turpen tine, feeding a little every other day for a week. Fowls that are well fed, well housed and kept in a dry plaoe will seldom have cholera. In faot, we do not know that they over have it when properly handled.—Rural Life. FARM AND GARDEN NOTES. More butter is injured in the ripen ing of the cream than at any other point. It is undoubtedly true that food of all kinds flavors milk to a greater 01 less degree. In Copenhagen last year 16.28 per cent, of the animals which entered the slaughter houses were found to be tuberculous. Nut cake made in India from rich, nutritious nuts is being extensively sold in Europe as fur superior to oil cake or oil meal. Tho size of the cow and tho amount of food eaten aro no indications of what she will do at tho pail or what the milk will churn out. Tho lady-bird beetlo are usually numerous this season. They are one of tho fruit grower's best friends and should never bo destroyed. Swatnp muck is not generally as valuable ns it appears and requires to be houvily dosed with limo the first seuson to produce much effeot. The Urowlh ol One (idior.iHon. Thirty years is one generation, and it is estimated that 200 generations will tako ono back to tho tiino of Adam. In these 200 generations much has been done by mankind in tho way of improvement and much of what has beeu dono is now claimod by tho modern woman as duo to woman ly influenoe. Unfortunately statistics aro wanting for a considerable portion of the above period, and tho modern womau is forced to base her argument more or less on comparisons and analogy. It may bo of interest in this connection to view tho progress made by the sex in the generation between tho last two censuses, as shown by official statis tics.

Startling as are the abovo figures, the causus of 1900 may bo expected to show an increase, which, gratifying as it may bo to the womau enthusiasts, will undoubtedly demand the close attention of those who aro authorities on industrial problems.—Now York Mail and Ex press. Value ol a Brother's Ashes. A novel claim is- being made upon one of tho groat French railway com panies. A gentleman who camo to Paris to havo tho body of his deceased brother cremated at tho crematorium at Pero la Chaise Cemetery, took the ashes away in a haudbag, aud, previous to setting out on his return journey to his homo in tho country, deposited the bag at tho "consigne," or cloak room of tho railway station. When he camo back to claim it, it had gone. Someone had come and claimed tho bag, audit had been given up, proba bly iu mistake. Inquiries were insti tuted, but tho missiug bag could not bo discovered. Tho gentleman has brought action to recover damages for the loss ho has sustained, and the judges will be called upon to deoide what is tho money value of a brother's ashes. A Lesson lor Had IJ >ys.

To prepare egg cuttlets take five eggs, one tablespoonful of butter, three-fourths of a teaspoonful of salt, one-eighth of a teaspoonfal of'pepper, crumbs for breading and fat for fry ing. Put four of the ogs in a deep saucepan and fill up with boiling water. Cover and let them stand on the ooolest part of the rauge for twen ty minutes. At the end of this time pour off the hot water and cover with cold water. Remove the shells and cut the eggs in two, lengthwise, using a plated knife. Let a soup plate stand in hot water until heated through. Put the buttor, salt and pepper in this plate and stir until the butter is melted. Beat the fifth egg in another soup plate, and have a third plate filled with dry and sifted bread crumbs. Drop the eggs one at a time in tho melted butter, then in the beaten egg, and finally roll them in the crumbs. Lay thorn on a platter and set in a cold placo until it is timo to cook them; then put them in tho frying basket and cook in hot fat for ono minute. Servo with a bisquo or curry sauce.

ABSOLUTELY PURE Eight Miles au Hour. Several of the great trunk railroads of the North are experimenting 011 their branch linos with electricity as a motive power and the reports of its use are very satisfactory. It has been demonstrated that electricity is oheaper than steam and that it will give any rate of speed that can reason ably bo desired. A few days ago an eloctric locomo tive on the Nautasket branch of the New York, Now Haven and Hartford Bailroad was run at a speed of eighty miles an hour. Hardly onybody wants togo at that rate even in these fast timer, but the experiment has demonstrated that eleotricity may bo applied for rapid transit.

One side of the circuit is connected to tho ground, and the other is conducted through a series of fino wires to the tops of tho weeds and vegetation along the road. In this way the electric current trav erses the roots and body of a plant, rupturing its cells and destroying it. The device is thoroughly practical, and reduces tho cost of maintenance of way $4O to $BO per year per mile.
