TOPICS OF INTEREST RELATIVE
TO FARM AND GARDEN.
How She K?kgps Effgs.
An Ohio vroman who claims to have
had twenty years of successful experience
in the matter, furnishes this recipe for
keeping eggs: Take good fresh eggs and
rub them over with" melted lard, thus
closing the pores in the shell. Then put
a layer of oats or bran in a box and a
. layer of eggs, setting them on the small i
? end and not allowing them to touch each j
other?separating them by oats or bran.
In this way fill the box, and ihe eggs j
will keep fresh.
Milk Diet for Layinjr Hens.
Please listen to the substance of an
instructive little story lately told by a
Canada editor: A neighbor whose hens, j
to our exasperation, kept laying on when
eggs were twenty-five cents a dozen, j
wlule ours persistently laid oil during
the same season, on being ques- :
tioned. revealed the fact that his hens ;
had a pailful of skimmed (perhaps clab- |
bered) milk each day, and no other
drink. On comparing notes we found j
~ that our manage nent of fowls was al- .
most exactly alike, with the single milk ,
difference?a difference that had put;
many a dollar to the credit side of his
ledger, while ours was left blank during j
the same period?and this thing had i
been going on for years, with the results j
always in favor of a milk diet. A good j
thing for poultry keepers wanting eggs !
to remember.

Chronic sore throat in cattle is some- ;
times produced by feeding coarse dirty j
hay cr musty straw-containing more or j
less rank irritating weeds. But if you >
have nothing better to feed your cattle j
than wheat straw it is high time you
either give up farming or dispose of your
live stock to some one who will give them !
6uch food as they require to keep them in ]
health and comfortable. You certainly |
had wheat if you taised wheat straw, and i
the grain if sold would supply the wherewith
to purchase bran, middlings, and
other kinds of cheap ground feed, this
being sprinkled on cut straw slightly
moistened or steamed would make excellent
food for cattle. If the animals are ;
worth saving, cut up the straw, and :
either steam or soak it a few hours in i
a. xl J - /T J J 1
warm water, men uruiu uu auu auu urau |
and a handful of linseed or cotton-seed ,
meal to each feed, three times a day.
Keep the cattle in the stable when the j
Weather is cold, and give a tablespoonful
of glauber salts once a day in frheir food.
Steaming the nose and placing warm wet
bandages about the throat will often afford
relief.?New York Sun.
Management of Raspberries.
It always improves the fruit, both in
earliness and size, to prune the bearing
canes of raspberries and blackberries.
The old dead canes are removed, the
young cane9 are cut back to about
feet high, and the side branches shortened
12 or 14 inches. Uusually these
fruits are grown in hills of three or four
plants, each distant four feet apart in
the rows, and the rows five or six feet
apart, and each cluster of cane?, of four
or five of the best, is tied to a strong
itrong stake. They are then more easily
worked and cultivated and the fruit is
gathered more easily. The worm which
bores in the stems and kills the canes is
the larva of a small beetle about half an
inch long known as Oberea tripuncta.
This insect deposits its egg near the tip
v of the cane, which withers soon after;
the worm then eats its way downward
and upwai d through the stem, consuming
the pith; it remains in the cane all
me winter ana irausiorma 10 a mature ,
insect, which leave* the cane near the
root at a hole which $ makes through
the cane. The only way to destroy this
pest is to destroy the tops of the canes
late in the summer, and earlier if they
are found to be withering at the tip.
The beetle cuts two riDgs around the
caue near the top about an inch apart
and lays its egg between them, so that
the presence of the young worm is easily
discovered.?New Yirk Times.
"I?eve1 Cnltnre" for Potatoes.
Mr. T. B. Terry, of Oh'o, a very successful
potato grower, makes the following
pertinent argument for the "level
Culture" of potatoes:
On a field nnltivatrd level and the sur
face all mellow, the rain goes right down ]
where it falls, wetting all the soil, and
carrying what fertility it has in it right |
to the growing roots that extend all
through between the rows. Where a i
ihovel plow is used during a heavy j
ihower, much of the water runs off in the j
furrows, carrying its fertility with it. j
The ground in the hills, instead of being
a "yielding medium," often gets so dry
ind hard that the yield is injured. Level
oil will withstand drought best. In a
wet season potatoes will stand hilling
better, but on drained land even then
hills are an injury. When one takes soil
from between the rows to pile up around
the hills, he is laying bare, or nearly so,
the roots that are along in the center.
This is abusing the plants, and on
arainea iana i Know oi no possioie \
benefit to be derivid. Better plant
about four inches deep and keep the
ground nearly level. In practice I have '
to throw a little dirt in under the plants
once with the Planet horse-hoe to keep j
the weeds down without the use of hand t
hoe, but we keep the surface as nearly :
even as possible. After raising many j
thousands of bushels in this way. we !
fined no more greened or sun-dried than
when we hilled up high; in truth 1 think
not so many.
Labels for Trees and Plants.
The subject for consideration at a late j
meeting of the Massachusetts Horticul-}
tural Society was"Methods for Labeling !
Trees and Plants." In an essay on the j
-.lubject read by Robert T. Jackson, the j
luggestion is made that as labor costs !
generally more than anything else it is
economy to provide good labels?labels j

named as best material for durability.
Zinc is the metal most commonly used,
as it is reasonably imperishable, cheap
and readily handled. Bright, clean zinc
may be written on with an aqueous solu- j
tion of chloride of platinum or chloride I
of copper?the former ie probably the ;
better. They may be obtained of chem- j
ist8 or purchased under the name of j
chemical inks for zinc labels. A quill |
pen should be used in writing with
them. The zinc should be prepared for
them by cleaning with fine emery paper
or very weak muriati: acid, the latter
being preferable, as it is not so likely to
be followed by extensive oxidization,
bo injurious to the writing. Use a rag
dipped in weak ac'.d and rinse in j
clean water. After writing nothing fur- I
ther is necessary. Zinc, when slightly j
roughened by oxidization, may be writ- |
ten upon with a soft lead pencil, and ;
the graphite soon becomes indelibly fkei j
on tpe zinc, and is quite as permanent as t
chemical ink. The labels may be suf- j
ficently oxidizec^by leaving them a few
weeks in a dump place, this ii m uch
t the quickest way of making any metal
! labels and makes one of the best labels
I for outdoor purposes. They have been
I seen perfectly clear after ten years' ex
perience.
Zinc labels may also have the names of
plants or catalogue numbers stamped
with steel dies. The letters are rendered
clearer by rubbing black paint into the
i lines after stamping. This is an ex
tremely good and permanent method,
I but if the labor of stamping is to be ex|
pended it would be better to use copper
or pure tin.?New York World.
To Teach a Colt to Back.
This part of a farmer's education should
not be neglected, says au exchange. It
can generally be accomplished by a few
lessons with the Bonaparte bridle, which
consists of a small, strong cord not much
larger than a common lead pencil,
attached to tne lower jaw ana Kepi, iu
p'ace by passing it over the neck just
back of the ears. Take a piece of small
clothes line some ten or twelwe feet long.
Tie a knot near one end, and draw it close
so that it will not slip. About ten or
twelve inches back of that tie a loose knot.
Pass the end of the rope containing the
first knot back through the loose one and
draw it close. This will form a small
loop, which should be passed around the
lower jaw, aDd over the tongue into the
mouth like a bit.
Stand on the near side of the colt.
Pa=s the free eud of the cord up the off
side of his face over his neck just b.ick
of the ears, down the near side of the
jowls and through the loop attached to
liis jaw. Draw it moderately tight and 1
fasten with a bow knot, so as to keep the
loop from slipping from the jaw. This
is a very powerful bridle, and the one
who applies it should be careful to avoid
all harshne-s, for in rough hands it becomes
an instrument of torture. After
adjusting the cord as above described,
sfr?r> in front of the subiect. take the free
end of the cord in the left hand, grasp it
with the right a few inches from the jaw,
and 6ay, in a firm, mild tone: "Back,
Ben," or whatever his name may be; at
the instant the command is given press
upon the cord with the right hand.
He may not back at the first command
nor the second, but the pressure upon
the cord in the mouth will prove uncomfortable,
and to obtain relief w 11
soon step back, perhaps an inch or two
with one foot. The instant he does
this give him his head and caress him.
After resting a few moments repeat the
performance, und so continue until he
will step back at word of command without
pressure upon the cord. It may
take several lessons to accomplish this,
but by persevering gently the object will
soon be accomplished.
It is a good idea to have a few apples,
potatoes, oats or lumps of sugar in the
Twkpt. to ffive the colt while patting
him, after he has obeyed a common <?
Thoy are much more elective than whips
and clubs. After he has become somewhat
proficient in walking backward out
of the harness apply that and give him a
few lessons. Then put him in the shafts
and educate him gradually to throw his
wc:ght into the breeching. Mr. J. R.
Farnum, of Waltham, who has handled
and studied horses all has life, has owned
such trotters as Commonwealth (2:22),
has bred Eddie Wilkes (2:29i) and several
other fast ones, says that his method
of teaching a colt to back is to stand him
with his head toward a barn door or gate,
then open it gently and swing it toward
him, at the same time repeating the command
to back. As the door approaches
his face he will step back to avoid being
struck, and after a few repetitions will
step back at the word without waiting
for the door or gate. A colt should
never be driven under a shed or into a
corner where it is necessary to back h'm
in order to get him out, unt 1 He Has
been thoroughly educated in the art of
backing, for if a few attempts to back
him out of such a place prove faliures,
the habit of re'using will become chronic
nnd can be overcome only with great
difficulty. Take plenty of time to give
him his lessons, otherwise the truth of
the old adage, "the more haste, the less
speed," will become apparent.
Odds and Ends.
Do not hurry the cows from the pasture.
Sow turnip 6eed after, not before, a
rain.
It is not too early to begin on your

Better have whitewash than manure
on the sills.
Try hard to keep the stable dry during
dump days.
Th^ poorest land is too valuable to
ctow weeds or briars.
Peduce the amount and improve the
quality of the fencing.
Pasturing meadows is removing the

Bng-Proof Fences.
A Kansas man told me that an ingenious
individual in Southern Kansas
had invented a fence to keep out chinch
bugs. He takes a strip of flooring and
sets it on the ground with the groove
side up. In the groove he puts candle
wick and saturates it with coal oil. The

A Chapter Fr?m Real Life.
Tn the largest and most splendid metropolis
of our country: the centre of our
wealth and commerce; a city which is
the most gorgeous outcome of our showy
civilization, there was enacted, the other
day, a tragedy well calculated to mafce
the angels weep and men blush with
shame.
A wretched workingman and his wife,
living in a miserable attic, found themselves
out of work. They parted little
by little with everything that could be
pawned, and the man tramped the
streets wearily day after day begging,
not for for money or bread, but for
work. Night after night, when he returned
unsuccessful, his brave wife with
a mighty effort threw off her sadness
and greeted him with a forced cheerfulness.
It was of the utmost importance to
keep up the breadwinner's spirits, and his
wife never gave way to her despair in his
presence. There was a baby, too, to be
thought of, and even when the last penny
had beeu spent the neighbors heard the
woman singing to the child and its father.
For days after the money was all gone
the little f:imily managed to live. At
night the woman slipped out and picked
up crusts of bread and other scraps of
food. But this could not go on forever.
The husband and wife consulted together.
Should they try another world?
They did not know what the consequences
would be, but it seemed to them
that it would be a blessed escape from
the selfishness and inhumanity of mankind.
They succeeded in obtaining a little
poison, and they died together. They
did not have the heart to kill the baby.
Half crazed as they were, Ihev thought
perhaps that people would look tenderly
upon the orphan of such a frightful
tragedy, and give it bread instead of a
stone. All this is horrible, but the short

A Chinese Meat Shop.
"Is there a Chinese butcher shop in
New York?"
This was a question put by a Mail and
Express* reporter to several city butchers,
and the invariable answer was "No." A
search of the neighborhood usually frequented
by Mongolians led to the discovery
of one in the rear of No. 8 Mott
street, by the side of the building occupied
% the Wo Kee Company. Sitting
on a rough board suspended between
two large wooden blocks sat Sam Wah,
hard at work cutting up pieces of fat
and rinds taken from pork loins. After
a good deal of speculative conversation
he managed to explain his manner of
conducting business. He makes daily
visits to the American butcher shops in
the neighborhood and buys up all the
1- i-J. ?A i-: !
JJUril, ItU HUU U'JIilUlllJgS ill IUU UiUiavw
He usually adds to his basket load any
bargains in the shape of flank and shin
pieces of beef he can find. This stock
he carries to his little cellar shop and
carefully sorts into different grades.
Every evening economical Chinese
laundryraen come from all parts of the
city to his emporium and purchase
enough provisions to last them for
several days. Mr. Wah further explained
that in the matter of prices he can undersell
any pork butcher in New York, but
admitted, with rare candor, that his
stock was not exactly suitable for the
tastes of Fifth avenue millionaires. He
stated that he had been engaged in this
business in San Francisco and that it was
only a matter of time when the Chinese
would make deep inroads into the provision
industry of this city. It only
needed, he said, the arrival of a few hun
areu more wongoimns lu scl iu uiuuuu a
scheme which the residents of Mott
street have now in contemplation. As
to the nature of this economic scheme he
was very seriously silent, but gave the
inference that it was in the meat line.
Results of Ear-Boxing.
The professional opinion in regard to
boxing the ears of children is, that it is
a punishment criminally wicked or senseless.
Medical records which have been
investigated to this end show fifty-one
cases in which the ear has been injured
by blows of the open hand or fist?the
nature of the injuries varying, of course,
considerably. In one case the patient
has inflammation of the ear, with suspicion
of internal injury, and a running
of the ear for twelve years following the
blow received by that organ; this patient
subsequently died of biain disease.
In another case the ear became inflamed
and the hearing very much impaired. In
another the patient was slapped upon the
left ear, ana immediate pain and deafoncnorl

Natural Electricity Discovered.
Considerable excitement ha9 been
caused by the discorery of electricity in
the water works well at Lebanon, Mo.
Some time ago, during the dry weather,
the 'Frisco Company put a pump in the
well, but before c nnection was made .
with their tank water was plenty and
the well was abandoned. An attempt j
was made to remove the pump, when it!
was found some part of the pump was j
fast to the piping, which extends down
about 800 feet. It wa? also found that
by the application of small Steele articles !
that the pipe is h:ghly magnetic and !
steel readily adheres to-it.- The wellls 1

water in it. It has filled in and bfcen

MYSTERIOUS FATALITIES.
What Is It That la Killing ao Mauj Prominent
IIPDf
The death of Kaiser Wilhelm, ex-Governor
Hoffman, Banker J. W. Drexel, Lieut. Gov.
Dorsheimer, Dr. Carpenter, Chief Justice
Waite and ^en. B. H. Brewster, in quick
succession, and all from the same cause,
although having different names, is startling.
March and April are fatal months, not
only for consumptives, but also for many
diseases more disguised but none the less
fatal.
Gov. Hoffman had heart disease, Gov.
Dorsheimer, apparently a strong, well, robust
man, over six teet high, sickens and dies in
four days of pneumonia.
Chief Justice Waite meets the same fate
and he was apparently the personification of
vigor.
Drexel, the Philadelphia banker, and
Brewster, ex-Atty. Genl., were suddenly cut
off in the midst of great usefulness, by
Bright's disrase. and Df. Carpenter, the wellknown
New York physician, suddenly died
of Kidney disease, nerer having suspected
that he was at all troubled therewith!
This reminds us of the case of Dr. Frank
Wont.tinrr of New Orleans. He was lectur
ing before the Louisiana university on the
peculiarly deceptive character of Kidney
disease and the methods of miscroscopical and
chemical tests.
After having shown specimen after specimen
of diseased fluids, and made verj ?-;ear
the point that kidney disease mav exist without
the knowledge or suspicion of the patient
or practitioner, with gracious self-confidence
he remarked: "Now, gentlemen, let me show
you the healthy water of a strong, well man."
He applies the test!
He staggers!
"Gentlemen, I have made a terrib'e discovery!"
he gasps, "I myself have the fatal
Bright's disease
In less than a year this specialist of the
commonest and most fatal of diseases was
dead. He was a victim of advanced Kidney
disease, the presence of which in himself he
had never suspected!
L. B. PRICE, M. D., a gentleman and physician of
the highest standlne of Hanover C. H., Va? four
rears ago, after trylns every other remedy for
bright's disease, Including famous mineral water*,
cured himeelf by Warner's Safe Care, and March
24, 1838, wrote: "I have never had the slightest
symptoms of my old and fearful trouble."
MR. JOHN DOIIERTY, of Cotcord, N. H., wai
given up with Bright's disease by the best physicians
in 1879. He was In a dreadful state. After
using and being enred iu 1831 by Warner's SaTa
Cure, in 18S7. he wrote: "I am better than ever."
JOHN COLEMAN, Esq., 100 Gregory St.. New
Haven. Conn., was first taken sick In 1873, grad
ua!ly rail down until be had pronounced Bright'*
disease, rhenmat'sm and all o ber deceptive signs
of kidney disease. The beet physicians in New
Haven could do nothing for b'.m. He then foejian
using Warner's'Safe Cure, ?00 bottles of which he
and nit family have used, and be is cured.
W. T. CKAWFOKD, proprietor St. Charles Hotel,
Richmond, Va., and well known all through the
South, several years ago was in the death agony
from kidney disease, convulsions and bright'*
disease. The best Philadelphia specialists In
cucb diseases prononnced him practically dead
and incurable. Everything else falling, he took
Warner'* Safe Cure abundantly and regularly,
until fully restored ta,health. and now he say*:
"After a lapse of many years I am as sound as a
dollar, with no symptoms of my old trouble, I
owe my life to Warner's Safe Core.
Kidney disease is the most deceptive, the
most universal, the most fatal disease.
If the most learned men cannot know without
the use ot microscopical and chemical
tests that they have kidney disease, how much
more liable is the layman to be, unknown to
himself, in the very jaws of death, who does
not feel as well as formerly, but who does
not think anything specially ails him, and
whose phycician may assure him that he will
soon be "all right"
In these days people recognize that it is
wiser to prevent disease than to await its
arrival to cure it. When you know that
you may be in the greatest peril and not have
any idea of the fact from any defined set of
ill "feelings, the wisest course to pursue is to
follow the counsel and experience above outlined
, and thoroughly renovate the system,
cleanse the' blood, tone the nerves and insure
your own life against these common, mysterious
fatalities.
The Vanilla Bean.
The vanilla-bean is the costliest bean
on earth. It flourishes in Mexico, chiefly
in Papantla and Misantla. It grows
wild, and is gathered and marketed by
the natives. Just a& they come from the
forest the beanB sell at $10 and $12 per
thousand. After the beans are dried
and cured they are worth from $7 to $12
per pound, according to quality. Last
year the vicinity of Papantla alone exported
sixty million beans. They are
used by druggists and confectioners, and
are an important article of commerce.

Popular Edncntion.
We sympathize with the feeling which often
leads citizens to bo.ist that no ch Id born in
this cou try need grow up in ignorance, and
vet it is a fact that many people who have
learned to read and write have never taught
themselves to think. A man who suffered
from catarrh, consumption, bronch tij, scrofula,
or "liver complaint," might read, till his
eves dropped out, now these and many other

An Ingenious Chinese Clock.
A New Orleans gentleman has just received
from San Francisco a wonderful
piece of workmanship, which is a striking
evidence of the patience, skill, and ingenuity
of the natives of the Celestial
Empire. It is in the form of an egg,
but little larger than a turkey's, and, to
outward appearance, nothing but 6uch
an egg as might be picked up in any
farmyard. But inside of the shell there
is such a delicate mechanism that an accurate
description of it is well" nigh im{tossible,
and to get a fair idea of the
imits to which human skill may reach it
is necessary to see this marvel. The eggshell
is divided into two paits. but so
closely and skilfully are they joined that
the naked eye fails to discover the line of
junction. The tiny works by which its
different parts are operated are a let of
microscopic springs and diminutive
wheels, so small that the largest of the
lot hardly rivals in size those small
spangles which are used in gold l&ce embroidery.

each hour the two shells, which are
hinged at the base, fly apart with a
spring, displaying to view, a gorgeous
tulip, so artistically and truthfully col- .
orea that one can hardly believe it has
not been plucked from a flower bed instead
of being a production of art. The
petals of the tulip slowly unfold, opening
one after the other, until the flower
is full blown. Within it stands a wee
church, with belfry, on the outside of
which is a small dial plate, where the
tiniest hands point the hour. The latter
are so very small that, placed next to
them, the finest needle seems monstrous.
The hour strikes with a fairy like tinkling,
the church slowly revolves on its
axi?,.when the rear comes to view, exposing
the works to the sight. Then the
petals of the tulip fold together again,
the shells of the egg rejoin, and for

Fashionable Women's Whims.
The extent to which moDey is wasted
on a fashionable woman's whim was illustrated
to me the other day. I was in
the shop of a well-known florist on
Broadway when a lady came in from a
private coach. She purchased three
huge roses, for which she paid $5, and
carried them daintily away by their long
stems. An hour later, going by Delmonico'p,
I saw my lady of the ro?es
lunching at one of the windows with a
companion of her own sex. Fifteen
minutes afterward, returning by the
same way, I noted that the table where
they sat was vacant. Three bare rose
stems lay amid the dishes, which were
buried in rose leaves. The lady of the
roses had plucked $ > worth of flowers to
pieces in a few minutes' idle conversation
after her luncheon! Neither their cost
nor their beauty bad any value m ner
eves.
" Speaking of flowers this same florist
informed me that at a dinner given in
this city less than a month ago the supply
of loses for the table alone cost the
host a round $500. Quite a neat sum to
put out on the partial and immaterial
decoration of a feast in a town where
there have to be one-cent coffee stands
to keep people willing to work for a living
from dying of starvation, is it not?

The Japanese stick to it that the best
way to punish a man is to whack him on
the soles of his feet, and therefore refuse
to abolish the bastinado. Victims say
they had rather be hung or shot.

~SCOTT'S EMULSION of Pure Cod
Liver Oil, with Hypophosphites, is a
combination of two of the most valuable
remedies in existence for the cure
of Consumption and all Wasting Conditions;
is more generally recommended
and used by Physicians than any
known remedy; it gives most satisfactory
results, and tones up the system;
and when the Consumptive has wasted |
away and loses hope, the Emulsion j
will speedily check the ravages 01 mis ;
terrible disease, and restore the sufferer
to good health and happiness. This
is equally true in regard to Rickets in
Children, op Marasmus and Anaemia in
Adults, and all impoverished conditions
of the blood; and especially desirable
for Colds and Chronic Coughs, as it
will cure them more quickly than ordinary
Specifics used. Palatable as milk.
