We present to our readers this week respec

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.

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.

A IMjj's Portrait.

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.

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. Smno can no longer be kept and fed
with profit till taey aro nearly or quite o
years old. Quick to grow and early to market
is the only rale of profit in pork in our
time.
Jfow Is tlie Time to Take Stock.
If farmers universally kept account with

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

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. Thou;
the rule may not be infallible, yet the hen i
pullet that begins to lay on the approach

not moulted, as moulting requires about thr
months.
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

id, Mr. O'Conor Sloane in The Scientific Ameri- j

made by sound. In the illustration, tho |

?* dry sand, n spool, and a violoncello bow, with j
resin, is all that is required for work. 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.

':l Tlio Now United States Navy.
Secretary Wliitney has called on American
lt; shipbuilders for plans for the two great
^ armored vessels, of the liiachuelo or Admiral
NaehimofF type, anil has invited bids for furnishing
nearly <5,000 tons of steel forgings for
guns and heavy r.rmor plates.

with nil practicable speed, in the offensive
and defensive strength of the navy, is tliij
call upon the steel manufacturers. Tlio
" heaviest steel pun yet constructed for the
navy is an 8-inch pun. and only a few months
r ngo its eonij>letion and satisfactory test were
i'. made the subject of congiv.tulat io:i. Now,
Is we find that out of 1 .:?!!* tons of steel forgings
n asked for, no fewer than !H 2 tons are intende
for 10-inch and l"J-i:ich cali'.K'i-s. The inanu
n facture of a modern high-powered, breeeh
loading, all-steel pun of this latter calilier in
j the United States will he a memorable event.
In the armor plates required there is the
c i same evidence that a great stride forward is
? j to lie taken. They include plates twelve
,s inches and seventeen inches thick. This is
armor of the kind used in the i?owerful modern
n vessels of the nations most forward in naval
o construction. The ltiachuelo, which was con's
siderecl at her completion a model combinac
