The chief points iu the working of an ' incubator are the temperature and the | occasional variations of it, the moisture i needed and the turning of the eggs. The temperature should not go above 104 degrees nor below SO degrees. An occasional reduction of temperature to 80 degrees, or cvea 70 degrees, for a short time will not injure the eggs and "* Knnoli/Mol CIC it POllCPC fl 15 UUUl'UUbCUJJ uvutuviui, -V ? J circulation of air in the egg. Except during an hour or two each day, when the temperature may be permitted to fall as mentioned, it should be kept steady at from 102 degrees to 104 degrees. This steady heat is important to be observed. The needed moisture may be supplied by Bpraying the eggs once a day, when they are turned, with water warmed to 100 degrees. The eggs may be turned all at once by having the floor of the nest movable and sliding it foward and backward, by which the eggs are partly turned. This should be done once every day when the incubator is opened for examination.?Neva York Times. JJEAXS FOR THE GARDEN. In raising beans it must be borne in i^iind that all varieties not only require harvesting before frost in the fall, but f that they are so sensitive to cold and wet I that it is useless to plant them before all I rvf frrtcf l'c nocf in Qtvrmrr Tt. i UOU^Vl V/A il V4V I'M- V 4M ?MV V|/? ? ? is quite the best plan to defer the planting until the ground has become warm and dry enough to cause a quick growth of the seed, for in a cold, wet soil the most of the seeds planted will lie and rot. As beans for the table, the Lima for green ishelied pole beans, and the wax for stringess pods are common favorites of the two varieties, but any attempt to hasten the naturity of either by too early plauting ! will result in disappointment. The j uimas should be planted in hills about rour feet apart, with from four to six j ;eeds to the hill, of which train about | ;hree of the best vines to a pole. The j poles should be set before the beans arc ! planted and be about eight feet in height. The wax beans should be planted in rows i about two and a half feet apart, either in ; hills or drilled with the seed from two to | three icthes apart. In neither ease should j they be cultivated, except wnere me | vines arc quite dry, for dirt falling on the i foliage when wet or damp will causc rust I and injure the quality and yield.?JV*?c York World. HOW TO MAKE A SCRUB COW. How to make a scrub cow. Here is the process: Half feed your cow through I winter; provide no shelter, and exher to storms and the exhausting . When the calf comes be very irious about the cow's feed. Let pick her living on a bare pasture and refuse fodder in the barnyard gathfrom the manure heaps. It does pay, you think, to give the wretched t a few pounds of meal, and perhaps ill not at the first, for there is much to put on the bare bones before any on Ho nut intA tlio millr Wr>9n thr? calf 'when five days old, and give it only bout milk and the rancid buttermilk, and /when it is half dead with diarrhea give j it some alum to dry it up. Turn it out! into a half-barren lot to gather the weeds ( and the coarse grass, and when it has worried through the summer, let it run for the winter in the yards and get the leavings of all the other stock, while its back is humped up with cold and it bawls for food through the nights while its owner warms himself under the . blankets. When three years old, under J such treatment, it will bring a calf more wretched than itself, and the bull which was ra'sed (lowered might be more true) in the same way. Proceed in this way and you get a scrub breed.?Neva Yoi Jc J. t/UC-O. TO CALM EXCITED HOKSES. The best and only thing to do when .your horse 13 excited is to calm him. Iu a hjgh state of excitement the horse does not comprehend what is wanted of him. Every one has seen a team where one horse would go backward and the other one forward, or, in other words, "saw." All the whipping :;nd "hollering" that a dozen men jan do will not start such a team once in a hundred times. The team is ex'.ited, and it shows that by every acti'jn, and lashing and loud talk only fake matters worse. Try to calm the >rsc by gentle words and actions. Time ill be saved if a half hour is taken to othe the refractory horse. An excited >rse is just like an excited child. We ive seen a child scolded and jaw ed at ttil it could not comprehend what was anted of it to save its life. Stop scoldg and cahn the child, and the work you desire of it will soon l>e done. It is iciic to expect an anirr.al to do your bidding, so long as it canuot understand what you want done. Two-thirds of the horses that arc termed balky arc made so l?y their drivers. A man must understand the disposition of his horse and be governed accordingly. Another prolific source of excitement to a nervous horse is the overt-heck, in all its varied forms. Some have a small, extra bit on the overcheck, and that and the bridle bit are forced into the horse's mouth at the same time. This quite often frets the animal, and when he starts oIT he is sometimes inclined to act bad. and the whip is used on him to make him act better, which too often makes matters a good deal worse. Then the horse becomes excited and often balks, and often gains the reputation of being a chronic 'stayer.1' I do not believe that any horse is naturally balky, but is in every case made so by excitable owners or drivers. Excitement in the horse takes various forms. Some are sullen and morose, ivVmIp nthprs arc nervous and ierky. It is seldom that .1 cool, quiet man, one that can govern his own temper, ever has a fractious or nervous horse to contend with. Horses have instinctive reasoning faculties, which are in a great measure controled by their own drivers.? Westem Plowman. FARM AND GAHDEN NOTES. Look out for the moth-worms. Keep the oi the queen in view. Keep the raspberry bushes pinched back. A golden rule in bee-keeping is to keep your colonics strong. Until experience has dissipated a fear of bee stings wear a veil and gloves. When the heifer is about two years old she is at the best age for breeding for the first time. The grindstone will help wonderfully in the garden work if you let the hoc keep it company occasionally. Try it. Wesley Dibble recommends the queenexcluding honey board in preference to the queen excluder on the entrance to the hives. Pork may be produced during the cold weather, with corn at twenty-eight cents per bushel, for less thau three cents per pound. Indian corn is the most economical pork-producing material during the winter months iu regions where extensively grown. Have a mulch of some kind to keep the strawberries out of the dirt. Grass cut and put on while green will make a good one. Grit is an important factor in successful poultry-keeping. The keeper requires it in His character, and the fowls must have it in their crops. Be careful of the young colts A. little care in selecting proper food for them will pay good dividends. Ensilage or roots do colts great good. Breeding-ducks may become too fat to do well. Beware of feeding too large a proportion of corn. They need bulky vegetable food as well as grain. The farmer's horse is the horse that will do the work required of a horse on the farm with perfcct ease, one that is a good walker and at least a fair roadster. jUUUJ lUls<Ml(/ACO pvuuvv uvuvj uuin <u color the entire season. In this case, advises H. D. Cutting, a Michigan apiarian, it is best to work entirely for extracted honey. " Never change suddenly from one kind of feed to another that is radically different. For instance, in changing from dry to green, or from green to dry feeding, make the change gradually. It is always desirable to secure a good yield of fruit, but at the same time it is a positive injury to a tree to have it overbear. In a majority of cases the quality of such fruit will not be up to the standard. Ploughing by steam has been introduced in Walla "Walla Valley, "Washington, ana is pronouueed a success. Ileretofore it has cost $2 per acre to plow, while under the new system it can be done for forty cents. When net too badly damaged a plaster of cow manure will save trees that have Dccn giraieu. it is oest, <h wursc, iu prevent, but sometimes accidents of this kind will happen, and a remedy should be applied as soon as possible. Only those who strive to acquirc a thorough knowledge of the business, such knowledge as comes from observation and from actual experience, and whose hearts are in the work, can hope to achieve 1he greatest success in horse breeding. The estimated cost of hauling 100 bushels of grain in a wagon over ordinary country roads is sixty cents a mile. This fact illustrates the necessity and money value of good roads. The difference; in cost of hauling is immensely in favor of the good road. Restoring the Canary's Yoice. Canaries lose their voices as well as Italian divas. Increase of salary does not, however, bring back their voices. Regular treatment must be carried out. This is one of the best: Leave off seeds entirely.

It he sneezes, a little olive oil must be put gently up the nostrils. Paste must be fresh daily.?New York Journal. Tanning by Electricity. Engineer in y reports an interesting trial of electricity for the conversion of hides ir?*A TX*liir*V? tnnlr nltir-o in T?or mondsey, England, reccutly. The tan ning was accomplished in .1 revolving drum twelve feat iu diameter and eight feet long, rotating at eight revolutions a minute. Turpentine and tannic acid were used to saturate the hides, and a strong current of electricity was caused to flow from a metal band which runs around the interior of one end of the drum to a corresponding band on the other end. The drum, after revolving five days, was opened, and the leather appeared to be of excellent quality. This system shortens the process of tanning from months to days, and seems to be a successful revival of an experiment made at Buoa-Pesth ten years ago. ~\yomaxN's mmr *> PLEAS A XT LITERATURE FOR FEMININE READERS.

PROPOSED TO QUEEN MCTORTA. Queen Victoria, of Eugland, although over seventy years of age, has fouod favor in the eye3 of Alfred Carter, a young man who has been studying for the Wesleyan ministry. Carter, who is a Lancashire lad, went to Windsor, and, failing to obtain an interview with the object of his affections, wrote her several loving letters proposing marriage. Sad to tell, the letters were handed to an uuromantic and flint hearted police inspector of the appropriate name of Savage, who found Carter wandering about the Windsor fields sighing the name of Vic tona ana nauiea mm ;i\vaj i-u prison uu the charge of being a lunatic.?Ckicajo llerald. A nOMEIjY EMPHESS. The Empress of Japan is a particularly ugly person of thirty-five, who, like her husband, bears the name of Mutsu Hito. She dresses in rigidly orthodox Japanese fashion, her flowered kimonos being miracles of elaborate hideousness, as well as her coiffure, which consists of a huge knob of coarse straight hair at the back cf her head, forming an ebon halo to her face. Just over her head she wears a marvelous construction of ribbons and precious stones which form a towering diadem. The Empress is a nonentity, politically speaking, but is a martinet for etiquette, and is much dreaded by the ladies of the court. She is, moreover, very musical, and excels in playing the very unpleasant instrument called "koto." ?Neu> York Commercial Advertiser. GOTHAM'S FEMALE DIAMOND MERCHANT. An odd fact in New York trade is that the best known seller of diamonds is a woman. Members of her sex buy all sorts of precious stones from her on the installment plan. There are a lot of different ways of managing it,and she is apparently mistress of most of them. Her acquaintance among shoppers is enormous. It is interesting to see her female customers drive bargains with her. When they decide on a certain ring or bit of jewelry the war begins. The dealer leans both her elbows on one side of the showcase and the customer leans hers on the other. The trinket in dispute lies between them. They Etart in at widely diverging prices and fence toward a neutral ground. Men may come and men may go in the shop, but the discussion proceeds with uninter rupted energy, sometimes ior an nour at a time. Apparently the merchant enjoys the mental stimulus of this sort of selling; but she usually wears a well satisfied smile after the bargain is over.?TimtsDemocrat. 'V-5* SUMMEK HAT DESIGN'S. For summer, young girls will wear immense black hats, flat as a plate, and loaded down with flowers. The individuality of each will consist in the peculiar convolutions of the brim, which is bent and folded, contorted in all varieties of a cocked hat or picturesque Gainsborough effects for some faces, and turned down all arouud like a lamp shade on others. Married women still cling to smallest possible headgear, a band of jet or tulle, with a veil gathered over the front cnrle, or a tuft of cowslips set in tulle over wavy tresses. A striking ..f tV>0 "Par? a Virvrcp cVinw I where one sees more dressy toilets than are worn in New York at a reception on the avenue, consisted of a single red poppy, flattened on the head. The first row of petals fell softly on the hair in a circle about as large as a plate; the second row was smaller, arid in the centre was the heart of the flower with its black stamens. The costume accompanying the hat consisted of red silk skirts, back and front, with black velvet sides, a black velvet bodice without seams fast cned on the shoulder and uuder the arm and silk sleeves, and a red ruchc about the throat.?New York Sun.j AN EXTRA VACANT QUEEN, The only Queen of to-day who can match the Empress Eugenie's extravagaucc of former days is the Queen of Portugal, who spends money in the same reckless manner and buys by the wholesale. She does not wait to examine and make her selection before purchasing. She buys all the styles of the day direct from Paris, giving orders for the leading houses to send anything that is new and beautiful, -wears what pleases her and casts aside the rest. She has good taste, and when one of these collections of dresses, mantles, hats, gloves, boots, laccs, ctc., arrives lrom Paris, she makes a long study of each article, trying on many things, studying the combination with the lines of her figure, the color of her hair, \iutil she gets a harmony perfect in all iu its details. She is generous and loves to make costly and eccentric gifts,, but in that way no one has surpassed the charming idea of the Queen of Holland. On her husband's reccnt birthday she presented him with an enormous bouquet of flowers, of the kind used on benefit nights at opera in Italy, so heavy that it required several serving meu to carry it. As it was brought close to the throne the old King stooped forward to examine it, when amidst the flowers the head of his little infant daughter popped out, to the surprise of the monarch and the amusement of the whole court .?.Brooklyn Citizen. ^ ' ' . - > . . . -7; -.v. ; *?+. GIRL TACK HORSES. No sooner are the Swiss girls large enough to possess the requisite physical strength than they are set to the most servile work the land affords, says a traveler. The child has a panier basket fitted to her shoulders at the earliest possible momcnt,and she drops it only-when old age, premature but merciful, lobs her of power to carry it longer. I have seen sweet little girls of twelve to fourteen staggering down a mountain side or along a rough pathv/ay under the weight of bundles of faggots as large as their bodies, which they no sooner dropped that they hurried back for others. I have seen girls of fifteen years, bare footed and bare headed, in the blistering rays of an August suu, breaking up the ground by swinging mattocks heavy enough to tax the strength of an able bodied man. I have known a young miss no older than these to be employed as a porter for carrying the baggage of travelers up and down the steepest mountain path in all the region round about. She admitted that it was sometimes very hard to take another step, but she must do it. And she carried such an amount of baggage! A stout limbed guide is protected by the law, so that he' cannot be compelled to carry above twenty-five pounds, but the limit to the burden often put upon gjrls is their inability to stand up under anything more. But the burden increases "with the age and strength of the burden bearers, till, by the time the girls have come to wouiaiihood thpre is no sort of menial toil in which they do not bear a hand, and quite commonly the chief hand.? New York Journal. FASHION NOTES. Steel iewelry is fashionable. Gray is the favorite dressy glove. Velvet sleeves will not be worn this year. Loose waists of folded silk may be worn with any skirts. Long streamers of black and yellow ribbon velvet are seen on sun umbrellas of white net. Flower bonnets hardly larger than a good-sized bow are the most expensive things brought out. Violet ink, once regarded as a pardonable feminine vanity, has come to be the favorite of all writing fluids. Sprinters of orange wood are sold by cosmetic dealers, together with dental ' floss for cleaning the nails and teeth. Velvet shoulder capes liued with shot silk and without trimming come to match some of the most elegant gowns of fine wool. Silk and wool combinations are the favorite costumes, exclpding those comnrvsr.d as during the last few seasons, of I o ? India silks. Many equestriennes now have the edges of their habit skirts left entirely without finish, so they will tear in case of accident. Though narrow steels are still used at the back of well-hung skirts, they are so arranged that no one would suspect their existence. Big rosettes of gauze will be used upon the summer millinery, and their effect is often enhanced by velvet flower petals insei ted in their frills. A ladies' outfitter of London charges a guinea for a silk petticoat?spme picturr%4O K?Tllor/l 1Q caijut; auau, wauij nuicu u k/i?iu>? ww.v ?w worn for a breakfast toilet. Black net dresses wrought with pink, blue or yellow flowers are made up over black peau de soie, and have ribbon accessories the color of the flowers. Point d'esprit, crepe de Chine crepe, lisse and other gauzes, mounted upon sheer silk bolting cloth, are used for covering the daiutiest summer parasols. All shades of purple are used upon black hats. They are also used alone, xvith no relief save that of the varying tones of the several materials employed. Indian dimity is a cotton fabric much in favor. It is as soft as mull, with thick cords at intervals, and comes mostly in small blue or black designs on a white ground. The Mary Anderson, a new toque that an English designer has dedicated to the bride-elect of young Navarro, is merely a fillet of velvet, broached with tiny field flowers. "Rnormons hats with flonoins brims come in rows of fine Milan straw and Neapolitan hair braid. A perfect flower garden of blossoms is used for their adornment. The fashionable modiste has a piano stool on which the customer sits, revolving at will before the mirror. Unless the body is a sitting as well as a standing fit, it is only half a fit. Dainty plaid ribbons in such combinations as pink and cream, pale blue and leghorn, Nile green and old rose, arc used in preference to plain ribbons for trimming white summer gowns. The now safety saddle now coming into use for ladies allows the rider to sit perfectly square to her horse, and on a level seat, without the uncomfortable twistinsr necessary with the old saddle. Special fitting of the habit is, however, more than ever necessary. There is a special line of cloth known a? jacketing and designed expressly for short coats. Bits of lace, embroidery and braiding attached to the bolt suggests the proper trimming. With white cloth the silver braid is used as a tag, while epaulets of old gold go with olive cloth and white scallops with the gray material. A Beef Dressing Contest. * In a beef dressing contest at Central Park, San Francisco, Cal., between M. F.

Westphal iiilieu and dressed his 4-critter" in six minutes and forty-five seconds.

There is an article of Ecuador's commerce, which, though not reckoned in any market reports, is worthy of especial notice, viz., human heads, dried and pressed to about the size of your list, each wearing the most life-like expression upon the perfectly preserved features. Most of the faces are elaborately tattooed, and all have long hair, the lips sewn together with fibres twisted into coarse twine hanging down over the chin in heavy fringe like that iu a macram's lambrequin. Centuries ago a tribe of Indians living near the northern border of Ecuador used to preserve the craniums of the dead in this manner. Nobody now living knows how it was done, but it is supposed that the bones were all drawn out bit by bit through the neck and then the head was buried in the hot, dry sand until it shrank away to one-fourth its former size and became perfectly preserved. As household adornments the gruesome rccuordes of dead folk are certainly not handsome, but they are verv curious, esneciallv since the art of preparing them has long been lost and the sewed-up lips tell no secrets. They used to bring about $16 apiece, but now command all the way from $100 to $500, and are very scarce at that. Years ago the Ecuadorian Government put a stop to this sale, as it was learned that some modern Indians, instead of dealing exclusively in the brain pans of their defunct ancestors, actually made a business of preparing fresh ones for the market. Since long-haired ones sold for the hight price, they took especial care of the capillary adornments of their wives and daughters with a view to cutting their heads off, one by one. There is no doubt this traffic in dried heads cost many lives, for the price paid by museums and curio hunters was enough to set an Ecuador Indiau up in affluence all the rest of his days, could lie manage to judiciously market his superfluous children and relatives.?
