Romp curious investigations bare re*
cently been undertaken by a photo*
graphic sooioty iuOcneva. The purpose
wan to show that the longer a married
con pi o lived together—we apprehend
harmoniously—tho more and more
marked became the resemblanoa
which tho two persons boro to each
'other. Photographs of seventy-eighl
coupler) were taken, as well aa an equal
number of adult brothers and sisters.
On careful inspection it was found
that tho married couples were more
like each other than the brothers and
sisters of the same blood. Apparently,
therefore, there seems to be a stronger
force availnblo for the production of
"family likenesses" even than that of
hereditary transmission. In accept
ing tho statement of the society in
question as true as to fact, it is not
difficult, in a certain measure, to
account for the phenomenon referred
to. Human beings, for example, have
quite a faculty for copying each other
in their ways, movementsand tempera
ments.— Times.

To reason from cause to effect is very poo.l
logic in its way, but to pniotlco on physical
conditions in seeking the cause first, tsa very
slow process indeed. Alt ailments seem to
}{ire an expression in pain, and especially in
Vheumatism where it takes hold deeply. This
is an effect, whatever the cause may be, ami
pain would become intolerable if one waited
to fln«l out the cause. Ilence sufferers are
bent on curing tho pain promptly, and for
this reason "know, or soon find out that St.
Jacobs Oil is surely the best remedy. Peo
ple seldom have reason to hunt further, for
oneo this ailment is cured by it, it stays
oured, ar>d thus puts an end to argument
uud pain at once.

LOW WAGON WHEELS FROM LOGS.
Select a log of tho desired size from
a gum sycomore, or ony other hard
timber that does not split readily,
writes G. M. Davis, of Wayne County,
Illinois. Saw off tho wheels, making
them the desired thickness. Then
take out the spokes from an old wagon
wheel, square the hub, and fit into tho
center of the log wheel. Tho wheel is
then completect and will last many
years on farms, or even for tho road,
if well taken care of. Many of these
are in use in this vicinity, and ore
quito satisfactory. —American Agri
culturist.
WHEAT HAY FOR COWS.
Wheat hay is not a good feed for
dairy cows. There aro some other
kinds of fodder which are much better,
as oats and pea», which will grow
where wheat will. Corn is an excel
lent fodder, especially when made in
to silage. Millet grows well in dry,
hot localities, and wheat grain,
ground, for the cows, will make an ex
cellent addition to those fodders, with
Uigur beets or mangels. Thus, there
will be no scarcity of crops to take
the place of wheat. A silo should be
one-fourth deeper than its diameter—
thus, if it is twelvo feet square, it
should bo fifteen or sixteen feet deep,
and, in fact, tho deeper it is tho bet
ter all round, as the Bilage pnoks more
solidly, and this makes it keep better.
Thus, the depth is a matter of con
venience mostly—tho greater the bet
ter—but it should not bo less than the
limit above mentioned. Con is cut
for silage when the grain is glazed.—
New York Time?.
VALUE OF CORN.
Considerable difference of opinion
exists among 'farmers as to tho num
ber of pounds of pork that can bo
made from a bushel of corn. Tho es
timates run all the way from three to
twelve pounds. The amount depends
upon the kind of stock, tho weather,
the skill of the feeder and other con
ditions. Breeds, too, differ in this
respect, some showing somewhat
greater gains than others, but all tho
improved varieties respond moro read
ily than tho scrub. It is impossible,
therefore, to lay down any regular
rule by which to find the pork equiva
lent *'of a bushel of corn. Wo are
able only to determine tho approxi
mate value.
In some experiments recently made
in this direction it was found that
thoroughbred pigs required nearly
one thousand pounds of meal to carry
them from 100 pounds to 300 pounds
in a growing condition and without
making them too fat. Greater gains
can be made, however, with pigs un
der 100 pounds, the tmaller the ani
mal the less amount of food being re
quired to support its weight while
making the gain.—New York World.
GRADING ABOUT BUILDINGS.
There Is no better timo to do this
work than iu tho fall, and thero are
few buildings that would not bo the
better for more or less work of this
kind. At some points, perhaps only
a wheelbarrow load or two may be
needed, while at others several wagou
loads may bo required. For the ben
efit of the foundation walls, tho grade
should be at least three inches to the
foot for at least fivo or six feet, espe
cially if there is a cellar losated under
tho structure. It not only looks bet
ter, but makes the cellar walls firmer,
prevents water from 6oaking into the
cellar, and renders it warmer in win
ter and cooler in summer. Tho earth
used for the surface of tho grade should
be well enriched, and either sodded
over now or grass seed sown and well
raked in. About the doors of the barn
buildings uso stiff clay or gravel, and
stones two or thrco inches in diameter
should be placed on the surface and
driven into tho soil with a sledge and
covered with two inches of soil. Every
year again cover the stones that be
come exposed. —American Agricultur
ist.
SHITPING LIVE POULTRY.
Country shippers ought to pay more
attention to the condition of their
coops before using. Considerable
stock is lost by shipping in worn out
coops which come apart in transit if
roughly handled, as sometimes hap
pens. Every coop should be carefully
examined, aud all bottoms and cleats
seonrely nailed. The coops should be
strong, but light; heavy wood is un
necessary if long nails are used. They
should not bo so large as to render
handling difficult.
The coops should bo high enough to
allow tho poultry to ptand easily up
right, and should not be overcrowded.
Too CIOHO packing and too low coops
OTO cruel and cause loss bj» suffocation.
Hens and roosters should be shipped
separately whenever possible. All
poultry for the New York market
should be well fattened, and should be
fed lightly boforo being placed in the
coop, if it reach its destination the
day after shipping, ns the New York
law requires that the crop bo entirely
empty before killing. From more dis
tant points provision must be made
for feeding and watering in transit.
At the beginning of their journey
they should bo fed lightly, as over
feeding at such time makes the birds
sick and dumpish and unfit for tho fa
tigue of travel. After the first day or
two, when the poultry havo become
accustomed to their new quarters, tho
supply of food should be increased.
All these things should be considered
and every caro exercised to have the
birds arrive in the best possible con
dition, so that thoy may sell readily at
the highest prices. It is only good
stock that really pays. The shipper
who does not get the best market
price for his stock should consider
seriously where tho fault really lies.

.KINDS OF TREES FOR SLTADE,
Those who wish to plant trees otton
ask what kinds of trues tiro the bost to
be planted aud the most likely to giv<?
general satisfaction as shade and orna
mental trees.
Here, as in almost everything else,
tastes differ, bat we think we are safe
in Buying always plant native trees if
you wish your work to be permanent
and approved by posterity j for troa
planting should have tho blessing of
those who como after us. We have
sUoh an abundance of beautiful native
trees that we can have large room for
selection. Our sugars and hard maples,
our tulip tree and our elms, our lin
dens and our sycamore, all make good
shade trees in soils well adopted to
them, in tho Middle and Northern
States. For general jiurposes as beau
tiful shade trees we would prefer the
sugars and elms and the tulip tree,
which is very beautiful tree and a
rapid grower if it has a fair chance.
The ash trees make a fine growth in
an open space, and for roadside shade
wo confess a liking to the black wal
nut, as well as to the white walnut or
butternut, which is a very attractive
tree and a rapid grower, but these last
must be giown from the nut, as trans
planting unless quito small is scarcely
evor successful. To these may be
added our evergreen?, which may be
selected according to the taste of tho
planter for the climate in which ho
lives. We havo omitted an elegant
and favorite tree, "tho magnolia,"
which is beautifully ornamented when
the climate is not too severe. There
are so many other native trees, especi
ally in the Southern States, which enn
be selected that we have only yet to
say, do not plant "foreign trees," un
less for mere curiosity, and do not
plant trees -which prodnco a litter
around your premises for half tho
summer, or such as send their roots to
the surface for forty feet around them,
from which myriads of sprouts aie
sent up to annoy you.
When yon nre ready toplant, which
should bo done without delay, deter
mine just what yon want to do, and
do it well, anil you yourself will havo
increased happiness and your children
will rise up and call you blessed.
It is surprising to us that Georgians
should plant china trees and whito
mulberry trees, both being pests,
when they have such beautiful native
growths as our tnlipcfera, or swamp
poplar, or our linden or sycamore or
even our swamp or native silver pop
lar, which is so far superior to the im
ported varieties.
The tulip trees and our nativo oaks
aro the finest, shade trees in tho world.
Our nativo elms and maples are supe
rior to any imported varieties, and
onr sycamores are not only excellent
shade trees but aro among tho bost
lightning rods ever furnished by art
or nature.
Farmer?, let tis plant our home trees.

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.
New milk will fatten a colt faster
than skimmed milk.
Fertilizer can bo profitably applied
with or without manure,and will moro
than pay for their cost.
In keeping down tho expenses do
not do it by denying wife needed help
in tho house. That is tho poorest
economy.
Care should be taken rot to cloy the
appetite of a colt, and when thero is
any symptoms of that the feed should
be cut down at once.
llanuro is recommendod by all ex
perienced farmers and experimenters,
but it is a scarce article compared with
tho area of land to bo covered, unless
there is a largo number of animals
kept on tho l'urm.
If the legs, ankles, joints and pas
terns aro strong, and tho colt's ap
petite is keen, the grain ration can bo
increased to three quarts at a feed
throe times a day, especially if ho has
regular work to do, either to harness
or on the kindergarten.
The majority of farmers prefer to
use manure, and seldom resort to tho
use of fertilizers. They cannot pro
duce sufficient manure for a largo
farm and manure one field a year.
The plan is excellent, but they loso
timo by not using fertilizers on thoso
fields where no manuro has been ap
plied.
Those who keep but one cow and
save the cream until a sufficiency has
accumulated for a churning will not
succeed in making choico butter, as it
is a mistake to mix the old aud new
cream. This is a fact that is fre
quently overlooked, and has been tho
cause of more failures than anything
else.
The Russian thistle has moved a
little closer to the East, and it is
simply a matter of time when it will
be established on the Atlantic coast.
The railroad cars bring the seeds and
scatter them along the lines. Good
cultivation destroys it. It is not as
severe a pest as the gipsy moth or the
potato beetle.
A writer in the Chicago Times-
Herald recently advocated preserving
corn in air-tight bins. He says, and
truly, that less caro is taken of the
corn crop than of any other grain tho
farmer raises. He also holds and en
deavors to prove that no other grain
is injured more by exposure to storm
and other misuse.
With many farmers tho most serious
problem of life is to get out of debt.
The only way to solve it is either to
keep down the expenses or to increaso
the income, or, if possible, both. The
danger is that in endeavoring to in
crease the income expenses are in
creased to a point that leaves no profit
and the debt is as far from beiug paid
as ever.
The great mistake which farmers
make in sowing clover seed under
Western conditions is thatthey do net
give it a deep enough covering. As
to depth of covering, no general rule
can be laid down except this, that it
must be deep enongh to secure mois-
I t ure und not too deep to exclude light.
: There is heat enough in the soil in the
1 MIIUMER season at almost any depth
j to which it might bo covered io ordl
j nnry agricultural operations.

BIDDING A HOUSES OF FLEAS.
"I have just succeeded in ridding
my house of fleos," a correspondent
writes, "by swoeping the entire house
from top to bottom in one day with
salt. I did it all in one day so the
fleas would not be carried. Then each
day for a few days afterward I brushed
up around tho beds and in the nursery
■with salt strewn over tho floor. This
trentmont must have been successful,
as I see none now, and before, after
trying everything else I had heard
of, they wore very annoying."—New

A LOVELY CRACKER JAI».
The decoration of clovers and grasses
is well suited for a cracker jar or mar
malade dish. Wash in a soft back
ground of greens and blues before be
ginning to paint it. Use grass green,
deep blue green and a bit of yellow,
here and there, with a touch of dark
green in the shadows. For tho clovers
use carmine, No 1 black, and hore and
there deep purplo in very limitod
quantities. A very faint wash of ultra
marine will givo you the soft purplish
shadow found in a clover. Use yellow
brown, dark green, black and a touch
ol violet of iron in tho soft grasses.
Keep tho tone of the leaves cool, using
grass green, deep blue green, dark
greon and black in painting them.

THE HOUSEHOLD GARBAGE CONSUMER
A Boston physician has invented a
vice by which all kitchen garbage may
be utilized as fnel. Tho material is
put into a dryer through which the
hot air from the range circulates un
til all the moisture is evaporated.
Tho receptacle then contains a quan
tity of refuse that is highly inflamma
ble and will make excellent kindling,
or may be thrown upon tho fire and
speedily burns out. This, of coarse,
is practicable only whero people burn
coal fires. In wood-stoves tho heat is
not of tho right quality unless the firo
is kept up to a raging pitch. Where
gas or electricity or oil is used for
heating, this way of disposing of gar
bago is out of tho question. There
are, however, onough coal-stoves used
in our largo cities to make this a mat
ter of very great importance. It would
pay tho Board of Health to furnish
these garbage dryers to every family,
and pass the most stringent laws com
pelling their uso nnd proper care. Tho
most useful plan would be to use the
garbage as a fertilizer for worn out
lands, but this involves great cost and
great danger. Decaying animal and
vegetablo matter must bo carted
through the streets, drippings fall upon
tho pavements, aro dried and whirled
by the wind into the nostrils of pedes
trians. Where it is possible, garbago
should be consumed, and, by the way,
a great deal of this isdono when noth
ing if said about it. Many families put
into tho kitchen range everything of a
waste character, and find great econo
my in fuel in consequenco.—New York
Ledger.

Double-breasted stylish coat bodioes
opening over vests of leather is one
handsome design for them. The ma

wear, and if made with elegance, is ex
ceedingly effective.
The new winter boa will be a con
glomeration of fur tails, lace and
Bowers. It is short, merely enciroling
the neck and falling a short distance
over the corsage. The most improved
boa is of sable, fastened in front with
a little animal's head, from which
three sable tails are suspended, while
a frill of laoe is caught under the bead
and a buucli of violets is stuck in at
the side.

White Poplars lor Lightning ltods.
There is often great loss of property
and sometimes of life in the severe
electrical storms that rage at certain
times of the year in Russia. To pro
tect tho houses of the peasants, which
are frequently struck by lightning,
the Russian Government has recom
mended that tho peasantry bo en
couraged to plant white poplar trees
around their dwellings to act as light
ning ro.ls. This suggestion arose out
of some investigations concerning the
liability to lightning-stroke of certain
species of trees, made by a Russian
electrician and the Government Forest
Inspector. They spent 109 days in
the great forests near Moscow, and of
the 597 trees that during that time
were struck by lightning they found
302 were white poplar, notwithstand
ing tho fact that that species is com
paratively rare.—Chicago Record.
