"Can there be any possible hcrm in killing owls for women's hats?" exclaimed a New York milliner to a member of the Andnbon Society the other day. "Of what nse are the horrid creatnres to anybody?" The pretty milliner was qnite surprised when told that owls were very useful birds. Owls eat the field mice and other small rodents that work great injury to the farmer, and every one that is lost not only means a menace to the farmers, but a distinct loss to agriculture. Dr. C. Hart Merriam, ornithologist of the United States Department of AflrviffnltTirA hftR Astimfttfld that in ,< offering a bounty on owls "and hawks, 11 which resulted in the killing of more ... . khan 100,000, the State of Pennsylvania sustained a loss of nearly $5,000,000 in one year and a half.?Boston Globe.

A pneumatic snow plow, driven by , electricity, is certainly as up-to-date a i machine as any one could desire to i use in winter. Its novelty consists in the fact that the snow is blown off the track by a blast instead of being swept away or removed by some sort of snow ' plow. It is a pioneer invention, which cannot be too soon introduced into England, for, although the summer has just left us, we shall be very soon plunged into the heart of winter. Accidents and Hearing. Professor Burkner, in his lectures in the clinic for ear diseases at Gottingen recently, referring to the num! erous railroad aocident that have oc1 curred in Germany of late, said that it is probable that many were due to > imperfect hearing on the part of rail, road employee. While large classes of employes have their vision tested periodically, and often also their hear> ing, yet deficiencies in hearing oapaoity occur among them frequently which are riot detected by these ex' aminations. Many who suppose their ? - # H_ 3 1 Hearings to De oe peneciiy gooa, oj careful testing are found to have very serious defects. By reason of this general self-deception, no faith should L be put in a man's own statement that he hears well with both ears. The practical investigation of the sense of hearing demands suoh a mastery of the various methods used as can hardly be required from the orI dinary physician. The professor said 1 a great part of the trainmen, and par1 ticularly of the enginemen, after a ? relatively short term of service, no ' longer possess normal hearing, though many of them may still be fit for sert vice. An adequate acuteness of hear? ing is of the greatest importance, not * only among trainmen, bnt track guards and switchmen; these and others 1 should have good hearing in both ? A i J i ears, a wau uaru ui uotumg iu uun 1 ear has great difficulty in determining ' from what direction a sonnd comes. } The safety of travelers and of the em* . ployes themselves, said the professor, requires that far more attention be r paid to the ears of railroad men. t ? The Increase of Homes. One of the best possible fact^in the latter-day progress of this country is the increase in the number of homes.' In crowded centers of population, such as New York and one or two other cities, the flat and the hotel must always be necessary, for space is too valuable to be monopolized by the humble. But even around the very large cities there are being built thousands and thousands of suburban cottages and country residences, and all through the length and breadth of the country, in tne towns, villages ana cities, artistic homes are increasing at an astonishing rate. If any one will take the trouble to look up the literature on the subject he will find that in this country there are more than a hundred papers devoted to these home builders, giving them each week plans and suggestions. The number of books upon low-priced architecture, written in the past fifteen years, exceeds the total for a century previous. A wider education is being spread, and the gain in every way is enormous. A man who owns his home is a better citizen, even if there is a mortgage on it. There is feeling of personal partnership in the protection of property and the preservation of public order which makes him stand for what i i. 1 A Ti lb Ucdt 1U 1?W ttUU ^UVClliLUCUl. 11 IS the best possible thing for bis wife and children; best for him and best for the country.?Leslie's Weekly. Killed by Hla Collar. High standing collars are now exclusively in vogue. The laws of health, however, require that the neck should be left bare, or nearly so, and unrestrained in its movements. Hence the collar should be loose and turndown. More than one case has been recorded in which tight collars have almost caused suffocation, the victims being revived with difficulty. ? Some two years ago, on the arrival of the train from Nice at Paris, a rich Ameri? can traveler was found dead in one of 1 the compartments?strangled, as the , inqaest disclosed, by his high collar, whose button had left its mark unon nis ekin. Nor is this at all an unlikely accident, since there is a point in the throat close to the "Adam's apple," pressure upon which will stop respiration at once, and bring about asphyxia. Moreover, a collar which hardly feels uncomfortable while the wearer is standing may draw much tighter when he sits down, and should he fall asleep in it, may produce congestion, coma and a fatal termination.?The Ledger. >ils, sores, eruptions, etc., ^ e for Ayer's Sarsaparilla / Mirifvincr mpHirinfts And b _ The story of these cures a onvincing.

It is not likely that If antcn nnw ant? nf +Viq lflffnnfl will some up this fall. A few leaves scattered over the bed will keep the seed from injury, and it will sprout and jrow with the first warm weather in spring. Almost every one has seep self-sown lettuce on the beds where it was grown and went to seed the previous year. It is much more forward than spring-Sown lettuce can be had in the same locality. Wind Pump For Irrigation. The wind pump, which many farmers now use to supply water for theii stock, could be used successfully for irrigation without muoh expense or hViA iimn.11 Htrpdms nt vnnnincr might be gathered in reservoirs and utilized for the lower grounds. The gardiners and small frnit growers now ase these methods with great success and raise four or five times as much food on their fow acres as they could do withont their constant supply of water. This intense farming with means for irrigation must spread from the suburban regions where it is now practiced over wider regions through the country until irrigation in times of drought shall become common among Khft farm h Raspberries. Bead before the Missouri Horticultural Society, by D. A. Turner: Raspberries should be planted 8x4 feet apart, plant as early in the spring as the ground will work well or a good plan is to let the plants get from five to eight inches high and you will be sure to have a stand. Cultivation should be thorough and shallow, I use Plant Junior five shovel plow and a two (2) horse cultivator and cultivate every eight to ten dafa from the time the plants are set to A.ufiru8t 20. and hoe everv other t>low ing; 110 weeds or grass allowed to grow. Pruning the first year, pinch back when sixty-one to twenty inches high, it will make them more stooky and will throw out laterals the second year, pinch back when two to three feet high. I never take out the old wood till spring, for it is protection to the new bones, shorten in the lateral shoots from ten to eighteen inches in early spring varities. I have been growing raspberries for twenty years and now place the Kansas at the head, it stands the winter better and resists "Anthrognose better than any I know of.

The Plg-Eatlng Sow. " In answer to the question; "Why will a sow sometimes destroy and eat her young pigs?" the Western Swineherd says: "There may be several different causes for this trouble. "In some ca?es we have seen a sow evidently suffering from a form of Hysteria, Bimnar 10 wnai is nuuwu ua puerperal mania in the medical profession, and in such cases the trouble has been very 'much? aggravated, generally, by injudicious handling. If a sow is inclined to be wild and nervous as the time for parturition approaches, the best plan is to leave her alone. Do not go into her pen at all; it will only aggravate her. Handle your sows as much as possible while young, a Anf nf fan mn tl*i 11 OUU UlUU VllU^O VUV v* WM JVU .. have no'trouble at farrowing time; but if jou have, make it a rule not to interfere unless absolutely obliged to, and on no account allow a stranger to go near the pen. "In other cases we have been satisfied that the sow was induced to eat her pigs through an unuatural craving produced by an unhealthy condition of the body. Once acquired, the practice soon becomes habitual, and under these circumstances the best place for the sow is the fattening pen. "We think, however, that careful handling, no harsh treatment, and a moderate amount of food of a cooling and slightly laxative description with a regular allowance of salt and ashes, aud, perhaps, in some cases, a dose oi salts shortly before farrowing time will be the best safeguard against such trouble. "Wo nnti/^o a pfo+omAn /hv a writer in one of our exchanges attributing the cause of this trouble to thirst, and recommending a plentiful supply of warm water to be produced for the sow aftei farrowing. We quite agree with the advisability of this, and will add thai tvery feow, whether inclined to destroj her pigs or not, should have plenty oi tt*o vm wofar wifllin l?or tOQaIi after farrowing." Onr own opinion, backed by some of tbe best breeders, is that the feeding of cooling, laxative food before farrowing is tbe best preventive.?Farm, Field and Fireside. Winter Feeding- of Live Stock. It would be better where there is a rapid growth, if possible, to withhold the stock from bine grass until midwinter. The advance in grain values has induced most farmers with live stock to put up liberal quantities ol corn fodder. This will prove a fortunate reserve for the shortage in autumn grass. The abundant rains of early summer supplied a good yield of hay, as a rule. The hay market nov? is low compared with grain values. There seems to be no occasion for alarm as to a great advance in the values of stock food within the coming six months. The feeder should giv$ full attention to the subject of the proper diet i I ' ? . p?^i mi 11 i.i 1111 ii ap?B mi ii i am I >1 f MBHMBBMaBMSBBCTBBBBBMMi ! for his stock in winter. All provender that is put up in a rare condition, as a rale, has the same effect in the diet of domestic animals as bran, oil-meal and other laxatives. The provender, however, is effective in only a mild degree, as a rule, in laxative properties. On the other hand, ripe hay, straw and corn fodder to a degree have the opposite qualities, tending to constipation. In putting up the hay, many farmers make it a rule to neutralize the ex1 treme tendencies in their hay by libl eral quantities of salt distributed in i' curing. Ordinarily the watchful L ^er provides a liberal supply of salt and wood ashes mixed, or, in the absence of wood, the ashes of corn cobs are nsed. This condiment is regarded as efficacious in maintaining an equilibrium in digestion. At the ' present time, very copious rains have revived the grazing. Lime should 1 also be furnished as a part of the condiment for the grazing animals. One who provides ensilage or a good supply of roots will have little trouble in regulating the digestion of domestic animals after a rule of diet has been established by preliminary experiments. The skillful feeder will be able to , regulate the diet of the animals by a judicious mixture of the grains and forage, requiring only a limited amount of bone nutriment in the way of mineral condiments. In the case of oats that are ripe, a mixture of an equal bulk of wheat bran is at times desirable where the hay or straw is i over-ripe. , Economy in the use of food may be exercised according as the weather is , mild or severe. The amount of grain may be diminished with mild weather, but must on the other hand be increased with a ohange to Bevere , weather. In the case of animals fat , tening k> a nnisn, ? is oener xney , should be fed slightly less than they will eat, than to be furnished an over( supply. The same suggestion applies to all feeding, but there is little danger, as a rule, of the average feeder exceeding the proper limit in the ease of young stock. The young things that are weaned about this time of the season will need very espeoial care. Where their grain food has been gradually increased before they were taken from their dams, there will be little trouble. Where sudden removals have been made, it is well, if possible, that the yonngsters should be furnished cow's milk diluted with water, along with grain rations, for a few weeks, gradually diminishing the amount of milk. When one has a good number of young things, it is well to furnish them warm cooked food at least once a day. The same suggestion applies to milch cows.

Keep the wagon well greased. Burn up the brush on the place. Keep the fodder tied up,close to the husking. Cut and burn all weeds before the seeds shell out. Success in farming depends much 1 upon preventing waste. Better get the turnips and mangles harvested without delay. Grain feeding of cows in summer helps the fertility of the soil. Every grain bag ought to be marked in plain letters with ink or paint. Fresh top-dressing of pastures is an insult to stock if it is turned on them. wneat cannoi sprout wen in mmpj soil. Pulverize and roll the wheatland well. A new variety not suitable to your soil and climate is worse than an old, inferior variety that is. It is a waste of land to give it only , half the cultivation it needs; it is a waste of time to spend it half-doing a thing. "Mary had a little lamb," and her father sold it, but the money he got for it did not pay for the injustice he > did the child. , If you use poles for running beans, will it not pay to pull them as soon as the beans are harvested, and store them under cover? What do you think of the plan of drawing in some of the fodder and stacking it before finishing the husk* ! iug? Would it hot be a good plan? Are tne nay-rane, mower ana xoaaer in the meadow? If so we suggest that i you harness the team, go and get , them, and put them under cover some. where. If the corn you intend to cut as fod' der gets caught with a light frost all ! hands turn out as early in the morning as practical and cut as much as possii ble before the sun cooks it, beginning with that in the low places. ! Nothing is better established in ! agriculture than the value of a proper ' rotation of crops. Do not raise a crop : of corn or a crop of wheat five, ten or 1 fifteen years in succession on the same piece of land, and then wonder why ! you set a small yield. If you find it hard to get the manure out in time to plow the fields, take it out as often as a load accumulates, if it is every day. It is better by far that the manure rots and leaches upon ^ the field than it wastes by leaching in the barn-yard and loses it strength in the wayside ditch. i If your tools and implements are i scattered about the barn, the orchard ' and the fields, take an hour or so and . get them all under cover in one place, and'see how much better you will feel ! to know that they are where you can ' find them when wanted, and that they are not having the life beaten out of them by storms and sunshine.

The most wonderful astronomical photograph in the world, is that which has recently been prepared by London, Berlin and Parisian astronomers. It shows at least 68,000,000 stars. The only electric traction adapted for crowded city streets is the Vuilleumier system, Professor Silvanus P. Thompson oontends, supplying current through contacts in the road's surface. i An Illinois man has patented a hoe which has a divided shank at the end of the handle to support two narrow blades, the devioe being useful in weeding both sides of small plants at once without interfering with the plant. x Steel bushel baskets are pressed from one piece of thin cold-rolled sheet steel entirely without seams and well galvanized. They will not leak, and oan be used for all purposes for which an ordinary splint basket is adapted.

An eminent naturalist says that every thread of what we qpll the spider's web is made up of about 5000 separate fibers! If a pound of this thread were required it would oo* cupy nearly 28,000 spiders a full year to furnish it. The author of this statement does not inform us how long the thread would be, but it is safe to say that it would reach several times, around the world. Two companies, one French and the other British, carry on the extensive manganese mines on the Cyolades, Greece., The beds exist in parallel layers in a hill rising abrubtly from, the shore to a height of about 400 feet. Eighteen tunnels, from 100 to 400 feet long, have been opened in the beds, with veins of from two to six feet of ore, whioh is intermixed with day. The separation of ore from clay is very easy and inexpensive. Ant* That Live on Honey. Twelve million dairymen ante have been discovered on the western border of Chester County, Pennsylvania. The entire colony liVes in a ten-acre lot on the Phillips estate, near Atglen. These curious little creatures gain a livelihood by securing the honey of the aphides, tiny insects whioh live on rose bnshes and grapevines. When disturbed they yield a single drop fof honey. This the dairyman ant knows, and ho he pats and fairly embraces the aphide. At onoe the honey appears, which the ant consumes aB greedily as a child devours candy. He continues to disturb the frightened aphide until its store of honey is exhausted, when he seeks, if his appetite is not satisfied, another living honey etorehouse. The homes of these ants are mounds ten feet high. TUey are curious nine fellows. The head and the chest are a bright red,- but the abdomen is black. Otherwise they much resemble the ordinary big black ants found in gardens in this city. Eaoh mound contains several castes. There is, first of all, -flie ant aristocracy, made up of the male and female ants. They have wings and are about sixsixteenths of an inoh long. They work not, neither do they spin. It is their exclusive task to raise the young. Next in rank are the worker-majors. These are a sixteenth inch shorter than the males and females and are without tongs.? New York Journal. A New Departure In OUiimaklng. Molten glass has long been molded into a great variety of ware, but the blowpipe driven by air from a man's inntrn has hflfln deemed indisnensable d * for shaping jars and other hollow articles, as well as window glass. A great invention bids fair to deprive the glassblower of his vocation, just as many time-honored craftsmen in the iron trade have found their occupations gone. The first use of the new glassmaking machines is in the manufacture of fruit jars at Muncie, Indiana. One blowing machine is said to do away with the services of three men, and it is estimated that the same product can be turned out with only two-thirds as many workmen employed. The introduction of these machines in glassmaking is regarded as fully as revolutionary in that trade as was the introduction of the Bessemer converter and the open hearth furnace in the iron trade, or the type-, setting machine, self-binding harvester, etc., in their respective fields? Railway Review. Naming Plant*. When naming a plant in honor of some man liberties are frequently taken with the orthography, and very often the person chosen is more honored in the name than by anything special that he did to deserve it. The celebrated French botanist, Baillou, had the naming of a plant from the island of Juan Fernandez, that had never before been named or described. From that island he had naturally the story of Robinson Crusoe in mind, and ^ Aa ano'fl iyioii lie tUUUgai, LU UUUWl VI uoww u amum Friday, be would give this plant his uauie; but be did not call it Frida.ya, but translated it into the French name for Friday?that is to say, the sixth day of the week, Vendredi, and the plant is described in the books as Vendredia. No one would ever suspect from this name that it was intended to honor Robinson Crusoe's sole companion on the desolate island. ?Meehan's Monthlv. South Afrlcnn Diamonds.
