We present to our readers this week respec tively pictures of a rose, a pig, a straw hool and a peov;U tree box. All aru unrivaled ij their line. Marshall I*. IViMcr Rose. Our artist has hero sketched one of the ncv roses, the Marshall P. Wilder. It is a beaut}' and becoming very popular. It belongs to tb< family known as the Hybrid Perpetual. Thi family of roses comes nearer being constat! bloomers than an)- others that thrive in oui northern climate. All are of some shade o: red or pink. The Wilder rose is named fron the famous horticulturist. It is an exquisifo S-ose, being a seedling from the royal Geu Jacqueminot, or Mack," as it is now slangil] called. The buds are rather conical 111 shape The petals are very full and closely packed and the flower is level-topped and of grea fragrance. It is of a rich, lively crimsoi color, with the outer petals of a dull, dark red TI7K WILDER ROSE. Often there are as magy as seven Wilde; buds ujK)n a single spray. A rare quality alwut this rose Is that it is never without buil; cml blossoms from June until frost. It is alsc Tery hardy, and a splendidly vigorous grower. I'eacli Tree Box. This simple little device is said to prevent the depredations of the peach borer. It has stood the test of several .years' trial. It is simply a box of four pieces of plank, about i d fifteen inches long. I / "of wood tluit will / ; I not easily decay.

As the trees grow, the ? boxes can be replaced by larger ones. The spider, that is almost sure to spin its web at the top of the box, provides ample protection where the box is small Straw or Hay Hook. A conrerJeut book for pulling straw or hay Cut of a stack, for distribution among sheep or cattle, is here shown.

When the book is pulled out of the stack, it brings a quantity of straw or hay with it. Kcst Way of Drying I'ruit. The cheapest rind liest way-of drying fruit, says an exchange, is to lay it on lengths of cheese cloth, suspended in a frame out of doors, in full sun. with white mosquito netling over to keep o!t shreds and insects. This allows the air to reach both sides of the fruit at once, and when you want to turn it the whole can be swung over on another cloth, leaving the first ready for a new batch. Apples should be pared, cored aud cut in ci^ht pieces. Peaches should not l?o paved, for the richest llavor is lost with the skin. mcy sikmuu iiuvu uiu liir rciuuvou uy iui>[>ui? baskets of them a moment into weak, boiling Jyp of wood ashes or common potash and winding with "eoarse towels. Common peaches only need to lis cut in halves to dry. Yv'e had p. allies dried ia this way last winter, winch, w hen cooked, would bo hard to t??li from the best canned pyaches ia looks, with richer flavor. A IMjj's Portrait. Following is a picture of a sow wlios?t owner considers her so handsome that he has tunned her Kentucky Beauty. KENTUCKY BEAUTY. She is .1 thoroughbred Chester White. This is one of the favorite breeds of the country. When, full grown some of Chester White's havo dressed to 1,050 pounds weight. One slaughtered recently at G1 months old weighed, dressed, 7(J4 pounds. Tbis breed is very strong ami hardy. Yet Crozier, in "How the Farm Pays," says they mature too slowly and have too much bone and ofFal to be the farmers most profitable hog. They are a ho great feeders. Crozier recommends above all others the Berkshire. He says t hey are easy feeders and sreigh dre.-s -d :2">U pounds at right months old. The Berkshire is a black swin?, and its Jiesu is? ot superior quality. i>e.\i, to uie ahtkshire Mr. Crosier approves the Poland-China breed.

If farmers universally kept account with 1 1 /..w.li it .7,1 tvifh /vP AlK'ir lillHJ, fllUl &> & vtLV. la II. im mtu V.VOII ui cultivation, and crediting it wit.li the net sales of prodm-t over cost of marketing, they woukl be surprised at the amount of land that did not pay expenses. It i.5 this ivasto land, as it might be called, that is the great drawback to successful fanning. In an extensive acquaintance with farmers iu a good agricultural district, a shrewd observer remarked Ihat lie did not know any farm of ^ more than fifty acres where every acre pr expenses; on most farms of 100 or more aci all the profit, where there is any, is ma ; from ten to twenty acres. In other won * these fanners would be practically better o so far as profit is concerned, if they had hi or a quarter us much land ns they posse With the smaller area tiicy should have mc * working capital j>er acre, and this the sale I their superfluous land would give. e It often happens that poor spots in othi I wise fertile fields destroy all chance of prol j and compel the farmer to work them at a lo s ' How many places are thco this year wbt li rains after seeding spring grain have drown II out the crop, thus losing the use of the groun I labor and seed in plowing and sowing, all j which has to bo made up from the more pn I itablo parts of the farm. Were it not for tht f drawbacks, farmers need not lose money ev ? at prevailing low prices. 0 ; Most fanners will now admit that for sc s eral years they have cultivated more la: t than they could well aJFord.

At this season of the year, when prices a ^ usually low, many are prone to look upon t j dark side of poultry keeping, but as such i pression is caused by a desire to reduce sto^ a point is reached late in the year at whi shipments become less frequent, and pric for poultry and eggs rise until the hens beg to lay abundantly in the spring. Before reducing stock, select all the he that have moulted or show signs of moultin as they will complete the process and beg to lay before cold weat her comes on.

Another point is that a moulting hen usually fat. This is because she stores in h system the fat of the food, while the miner and nitrogenous elements go to the form tion of feathers. Hence, a hen may be vei r much debilitated by the shedding of lie ) feathers, and yet be very fat.

The experiment shows literally drawings made by sound. In the illustration, tho | so | star is formed by simply drawing a well resell ined violin bow across the edgo of a squaro j of glass that has some grains of dry sand IV-1 u]K>i) it Anybody can do it for himself.

The glass plate is placed upon the end o? the upright spool, and a little sand is dusted over ft. re | Tho thumb of the left hand is pressed down i lio | upon the plate, and tho bow, held vertically, [e- is drawn down against the edgo of tho plato j k, in the middle of ono side. After one or two , L-h trials, tho note will bo found, and tho sand es "ill begin to danco about. After a few in seconds, it will collect upon tho nodes. SOUND DRAWING. at Tho sand is thrown o!F the vibrating part; and rests upon tho quiescent places. As soon JC as the permanent figure is attained it will bo found to form n cross, wlioso anus, tapering to points, run to tho four comcrs of tho plate. This proves that from eaeh corner to of the center a long node is formed. By means of a little sealing wax or Bur">r gundy pitch the glass may be cemented to the it spool. A way of sounding is shown by the e- cut, by which tho upper surface is left quite le free. COMPLICATED PATTERN. If tho plate is touched at tho center of one of its sides with the finger, and the bowing is '* executed on any side at a point as near the e corner as possible, another cross will be pro,e iluced, whose arms will run to the center of 10 the sides, instead of the corners. To esocute *' the experiments different nodes must be csa tablished by touching different points with 1C one or more fingers and bowing in different 13 places. Heavy plate glass, ten inches on a >e side, may bo thrown into vibration with e> ease, showing liow wonderfully efficient a s~ contrivance a violin liow is. y If the plato is strewn with a mixture of ls sand and h'copodium, and is sounded, a sop- i 11 aration, more or less perfect, of tho two 10 takes place, the sand going to tho nodes and u tho lycopodiuin into curves or venters. )fc For complicated forms a metal plate should be used in preference to glass. A piece of sheet brass, of the size given for glass, answers all requirements. In Fig. 2 a represcn '(I tation of a figure produced on such a plate, >, with sand and lycopodium mixed, is shown, d Tho plate should bo from one-sixteenth to one>e eighth of an inch thick, and secured to its is standard by a screw through the center. Tho it vibrations in such a plate last for a few see onds after tlie bow is removed, keeping tli sand dancing most curiously, while the lycopodium will form little clouds of dust when 0 tho vibration is powerful. ir ':l Tlio Now United States Navy.

He is said to be ' better basiness man than his father, modest, quiet, and shrewd. He is a e with bis brethren of the New York; Exchange, because, he does not think anybody great. He seems as simplo1 and friendly as if his father was not tuld.
