NOVEL R0LLI?G-P2N. A Pennsylvania man nas invented a rolling pin which has an attachment which feeds flour on the dough while the latter is being rolled, thus preventing the rolling .pin sticking to the dough. The rolling pin carries a trough and a dredger for flour, oy which the dough is more less covered while it is under manipulation on the mo'ding board. The rolling pin is of any suitable construction, the handles being detachable and the roll turning on the handles. The ends of the trough are attached to the handles and ex tend-'above the top of the roll, the sides of the trough e:-tending so close to the roller that the latter can |l :|l I %J w J I Distributes the Flour. barely turn without contact with the trough. Thus the rolling pin is surmounted by a trough, which is open at the bottom, save as the .oiler itself forms bottom to the trough. Inside the trough is a hollow cylinder, formed of perforated sheet metal, the cylinder moving within the t**-ugh and close 1 by a cover. When the cylinder or dredger is partly full of flour and is placed on top of the roller the latter can be so operated as to sprinkle more or less flour on the roller, whence it will be carried on to the dough. A little experience give? great facility in the use of the rolling pin. so that the dredger can be made to drop just as much flour (or fine sugar, as in roiling out cookies) as is necessary.?Philadelphia Record. % e, but when I fourd v bat it made ice. an* when I found I couldn't get London punch. DRESS SUITCASE. In the dress suit case shown here it was the purpose of the inventor to de- | vise a supplemental compartment for containing dollars, 'cuffs and the like, which is accessible without opening the other sections of the case. Rumpling and damaging of the couteuts are also obviated without adding to the size or detracting from the appearance of the case. There are three sections in this dress suit case?the body section, the lid section and a section supplemental to the body section. Each of the sections has combined with it an ordinary partition lid, which is hinged to the case. The supplemental section is produced by extending each end of the body section upward and by the employment of vertical and horizontal partitions. This section is again divided into a number of compartments by vertical partitions. In the use of the case garments and underwear can be placed in the body and lid sections, and articles of toilet, such as handkerchiefs, neckties. collars, brushes, comb, etc., arranged in the compartments of the supplemental section. Should it be necessary to remove one of the latter articles at any time the locks are unfastened and the lid raised, thus exposing only the compartments to view to the exclusion of the others. This would be exceedingly convenient in traveling on J Divided Into Sections. the cars, where a traveler is very often crowded for space, and where it is generally impossible to find a vacant seat where the case can be spread out flat ?Philadelphia Record. Phr>tograpliy In Architecture. Photography has long proved herself a useful handmaiden to other arts and sciences, and is now asserting her claims to render valuable service in architecture. Germany l^s led the way in appreciating these services. For twenty years there has existed a special State institution of archives of monuments, with a permanent staff, one of whose most important duties is to secure adequate reproductions of all really important historical monuments of home and abroad. This institute has secured photographic copies of plans, elevations and other features of S33 monuments in 133 regions?most of them in Germany, but many also in Athens, Ba'albeck, Constantinople, Damascus and Jericho. A Large Poultry Farm. Isaac Wilbur, of Little Compton, E t eni/1 trk iiovb tllO l-'irfTOSt nollllw l>t 10 oaiu iv u?i v v-v farm in the world. He ships from 130,000 to 150,000 eggs annually. The hens are separated into some 100 colonies of about fort}* liens each. Feeding is done by means of a horse and wagon, which passes from house to house twice a day. Eggs are collected in the same manner. Paul Heyse is accredited with being one of the most famous living German uovelists. who is almost as well known In America as in the Fatherland. The Czar of Russia announces that he will retain his same autocratic powers. Maple Shade Trees. * ! Among maples, the rock or sugar maple is claimed to be the best. It is 1 a handsome tree from the start?stately and well balanced in maturity. Its ! foliage is deep and cooling in summer and gorgeous as sunset in autumn. It will bear more mutilation and ill-usage, and still thrive, than almost any other ! tree. As a wayside tree in exposed j situations it has no superior. As a pasture snacie tor cattle it is one ol me best of trees. It will give comfort to the cattle and please the eye. a Good Kation For a Horse. A good ration for the horse of any kind of feed is about a pound of grain and one and a half pounds of hay to each hundred pounds of horse. And this would apply to alfalfa. In fact, the horse should do better on the alfalfa than with #the other hays and with less grain. This might be the opportune time to say that the majority of farmers feed too much hay of all kinds to their horses. In fact, the horse barn is where one of the greatest wastes- of the farm can be found. -Husbandman. A Brush Burner. A convenient, portable brush burner, for getting rid of lopped off limbs in the orchard during the pruning season, can i be made thus: Take a section of an old smokestack, about five or six feet long, cut it lengthwise and open it so as to make a trough. Close both ends with pieces of sheet iron, and fasten the contrivance to a sled. Throw some dirt in the bottom of the trough and start a fire. Hitch a horse to the sled, but at a safe distance from the fire. Pile on the brush and it will be con; sumed, leaving the ashes in the trough. . Be careful not to haul the burner under the trees while it is in operation. The horse draws the burner wherever needed.?Indiana Farmer. v . Poultry and the Curcullo. A flnolr of lions urill crventlv assist in protecting peaches and plums from insects of various kinds. The fowls keep the soil around the trees clean, and manure the trees with their droppings. When fowls are.kept in confinement peach growing can be made an adjunct, thus adding to the profits as well as affording excellent shade in the yards- in summer. Experiments in plum orchards show that if the hens are allowed over a large area they will be kept ^oo busy with other insects to notice the curculio, but if they are confined and each yard contains but one or two plum trees, under which the hens will congregate for shade, with not too much grass in the y. *ds, the prospects will be favorable to a large crop of plums. Being thus compelled to remain near the trees the insects have but little chance of escaping.?Farm and Fireside. To Destroy Bark Lice. A cheap mixture, which has been tested with excellent results, is to dissolve five pounds of potash in five gallons of boiling water, adding five pounds of lard at the same time. In another vessel slake one peck of stone lime in five gallons of boiling water and add a pint of crude carbolic acid. While hot mix the two solutions. The mixture may De kept in a barrel, to be used as required. When about to be applied to trees take one gallon of the mixture , add two gallons of boiling water and swab the trees with it, or apply with an old broom, while the mixture is warm or as hot as it can be applied. It may be used as frequently as necessary, both on the trunks of trees and on the roots, after removing the top soil. It loosens the old bark, destroys bark lice and makes the trunks smooth. The odor of the carbolic acid is enduring and is especially distasteful to insects.?Agricultural Epitomist Hollow Concrete Blocks. A recent farmers' bulletin says: Among the advantages claimed for hollow concrete block construction may be mentioned the following: 1. Hollow block construction introduces a saving of material over brick or stone inasonrj-. 2. The cost of laying concrete blocks is less than for brickwork. This is due to the fact that the blocks, being larger, require a much smaller number of joints and less mortar, and, being hollow, are a less weight than solid brickwork. 3. A wall constructed of good concrete blocks is as strong or stronger that a brick wall of equal thickness. 4. Concrete blocks, being easily molded to any desired form, will prove to be a far more economical building material than stone, which has to be dressed to shape. 5. Experience has proved concrete to be a most excellent fire resisting material. 6. Concrete blocks, being hollow, tend to prevent sudden changes of temperature within a house, making it cool in summer and easily heated in winter. 7. The hollow spaces provide an easy means for running pipes and electric wires. These spaces may also be used wholly or in part for heating and ventilating flues. Management of the Lawn. After the sod of the lawn is well established its success thereafter de pends upon its management ana rne amount of rain that falls upon It The best time to seed the lawn In the South I Is as soon as the ground can be worked in the spring, while In the North, August is probably the best month, although spring sowing often results as wall in the North as in the South. Many mistakes are made with -lawns, especially in mowing. Young lawns should not be mown too closely, for the reason that when a plant produces seeds its object for the season is accomplished. Until the grass Is well under growth too much mowing is an injury. Apply manure on the grass in the late fall and fertilize in the spring. On partially bare spots or on weak lawns the grass should be allowed to go to seed before frost, which will be an advantage, the following spring, when it may be kept in order with a lawn mower. A mulch will also be of assistance in winter, and during the summer watering should be frequent. When lawns are large and sprinkling cannot be done, the grass is sometimes ?n Imparl /In vino- rlrtr ntvinrTc hnt mftwin? lUJUi tu UUii**? vi* J MMV ?V Q should not be permitted at such times, as it is better not to cut close to the ground -when there has been a lack of moisture. If frequent mowing does not kill the weeds, then the best way is to dig them out and if the lawn contains bare places rake the spots and sow seeds thereon, both in the fall and winter if necessary.?The Ept tomist. \ Cultivation of Strawberries. The following instructions for handling strawberry plants from the time they are received from the nursery until they come into bearing are in accordance with the best methods of successful fruit growers: If possible you should have your ground ready for planting when the plants are received from the nursery, bulf if the ground is not ready they should be set temporarily in rows about two inches thick and four inches of dirt between the rows. You will find that the sooner the plants are set the better growth they will make and those set as soon as received from the nursery will require less pains to get them to grow. The ground should be thoroughly worked and levelled. The rows should be marked with something light, j -*3--- xi? j rru ~ so as nor to riage me gruuuu. xue rows should be thirty inches apart and the plants sixteen inches apart in the rows. A hoe with handle ten to twelve inches long should be used in setting the plants. Stick the corner of the hoe in the ground slightly, place the plant in the hole and press the ground around it with the hand. In setting when the ground is moist this need not be done as particularly as when it is dry. When the soil is in right condition one should set from S000 to 10,000 plants a day. The plants should be cultivated at least four times the first season and the weeds kept hoed out, but when hoeing do not dig too much around the plants. The runners should be cut about two weeks after the strawberry season is over and again in about six week. The plants should be well cultivated and all weeds hoed ?out before laying them by for winter. In the spring they should be cultivated as soon as the ground will do to work and again about the time they begin to bud or bloom. A fine-toothed cultivator should be used in the spring and when hoeing be sure not to cut the roots, as it -will put them back, making the crop late. If these instructions are followed, you will be surprised with the growth of your plants and the size and qualh ty of berries. Cultivated in this way, on good soil, one acre should yield about 2500 quarts.?The Epitomist Farm Note*. Many a good chick has been ruined in the rearing. Allow a margin for disappointments in the hatching and rearing of chicks. Beginners generally expect too much and are then disappointed at the real results. Everything considered, April and May are the best months of the year to purchase eggs for hatching. A miss is as good as a mile when the old cow kicks at you; and when you kick at her it is better than five miles. If the hogs have no dependence for water except the mud holes in which they wallow, disease and death are bidding for them. Do you like sheep? If not, you might better not try to keep them, No man can do well with sheep if he does not love them. So with everything else. If the ewes are kept on tolerably thin pasture and allowed to get a little lean, and then put on a ncn pasture at the time of mating, you will have more and stronger lambs. Improvement is seldom found in a cross, and if it is it is only with and after great care and guarding and perpetuating such a cross until it finally becomes a distinct breed of itself. Grape cuttings should be planted as soon as the soil can be worked in the spring. In planting put them in ground up to top bud and at a slant so that the soil will be firmly packed about them and prevent drying out Cover all large wounds resulting from the removal of large limbs in pruning, storms or sleet, with a heavy coat of white lead. This will protect the heart wood till new growth has had time to develop over dead wood anc" protect it from decay. Provide the poultry house with perches, dust boxes, lime, gravel, broken oyster shells and ground or broken bone.

The DIgestiuff Element Lef. Oat* .. i'zM Bread dyspepsia is common It affects the bowels because white bread 1 is nearly all starch, and starch is digested in the intestines, not in the v: stomach proper. Up under the shell of the wheat berry Nature has provided a curious deposit which is turned into diastase \ when it is subjected to the saliva and to the pancreatic juices in the human intestines. This diastase is absolutely necessary to digest starch and turn it Into grapesugar, which is the next form; but that part of the wheat berry makes dark Hour, and the modern miller cannot jjj readily sell dark fiour, z* nature's valuable digester is thrown out and the S human system must handle the starch as best it can, without the help that Nature intended. f Small wonder that appendicitis, peri ""ific /^natinoflnn siTlrt Jill sorts of LVJUi liO| . ^ ___ trouble exi?t when we go so contrary : to Nature's law.
