William Waldorf Astor seems to be grievously oblivious of the characteristic adherence of the English people to ancient customs and privileges,and is, in consequence, in bad repute with the tenantry in the vicinity of his estate at Cliveden.

Plumpness appeals to the appetite and neatness inspires confidence, both being points worth looking after to buildup a firstclass dressed poultry trade. Vlrtuea of Buttermilk. The growing practice of utilizing the waute products of all manufactures has brought out the fact that buttermilk possesses many unsuspected qualities. A medical paper says its reputation as an agent of superior digestibility has become firmly established. It is, indeed,*a true milk peptone?that is, milk already partially digested, the coagulation of the coagulated portion being loose and flaky and not of that firm, indigestible nature which is the result of the action of the gastric juice upon sweet cows' milk. It is of great value in the treatment of typhoid fever, and, being a decided laxative, it may be turned to advantage in the treatment of habitual constipation. It is no less valuable in kidney troubles, from its diuretic qualities. It is in great request for the treatment of diabetes, either alone or alternately with skimmilk, and in cases of gastric ulcer and cancer of the stomach it can often be retained when no other food can. Chemical analysis shows that in its nature it greatly resembles koumiss, with the exception of which it is the most grateiui, reiresning ana aigesuble of the products of milk.?Eastern Farmer. Tarnips as a Catcli Crop. So many farmer.0 sow turnips as a catch crop in corn and potatoes that they forget there is any better way. Ab a rule catch crops do not pay. They always interfere with the late cultivation of hoed crops, which is always important and sometimes necessary if there is a dry time late in summer. Now that most farmers cultivate hoed crops very shallow late in the summer, merely scratching the surface to kill weeds while they are small, there is less objection to tate cultivation than used to be the case. In the old days, 'when a plow was used at the last cultivation to pile the soil up against the hills of corn or potatoes, the lesult was always injury and often ruin to the crop. In such case, too, there was little chance for turnips to grow, as the soil piled up against tne nuis turneu tne water into the middle of the rows, or rather the corn leaves themselves did so, as they bend over to the middle of the rows by July and often in June turning the slightest shower into the middle of the row, where most of the corn roots are. Under the hill the soil is almost always dry until the corn is cut. The potato top does not lop over so much, but it, too, throws a good deal of the moisture that falls on it into the space between the hills.? The Cultivator. Sweet Clover For Bees. This clover is one that yields a large amount of honey. It begins to bloom in this latitude in the early part of July, usually; some seasons a little earlier, others a little later. By the time white and alsike clover and basswood are going out of bloom, sweet clover is well out in bloom, and where abundant a continuous bloom will be nacl lor securing surplus honey of two months or more. "When // '' ?V 'f x' \ \\ Si ,j r m /' f f \ % t | \| 'lift 'i| k ijj m i \ wly .i IK SHIFTING THE TENT FRO a part of this clover is pastured or ?

Snell in Bee Culture, when all other honey-yielding plants were killed with one exception, that being giant white-spiral mignonette, which is sometimes grown in flower gardens. Sweet clover stands drought well, but gives a better yield of honey and pasture with frequent showers. The honey is light in color, but, to my taste, not of as fine a flavor as that from white or alsike clovers or basswood. In the dry regions of the West, sweet clover and alfalfa have proved valuable plants for bees and stock. The hay is largely fed to stock. Here cattle pasture on it freely, and the hay has seemed to give good satisfaction, as stock soon learn to like it. This plant should be grown in all waste places, anil thus take the place of the noxious weeds which grow there. Effect* of Feed on Etre*. Anyone who has observed eggs closely has noticed that some eggs have what poultryinon call greater consistency than others. That is, out of a dozen eggs bought at a ctore half will have whites and yolks so thin that they will spread out thin and wide and be almost flat. This is the effect of the feed given | the hens producing the eggs. Hens that are fed on milk and grass and allowed to pick up their living about the manure pile produce* eggs with thin yolks and whites, and these eggs are invariably insipid and tasteless, and when boiled or poached are not exactly appetizing. There is a flavor about such eggs that is not altogether pleasaut in any case and often it is positively repulsive to one who understands that this flavor comes from eating impure food. Take a lot of liens and feed them milk and grain and their eggs are firm ' - - i ai i a ilia cousisteur, ana tuey usve a uuvui that makes them relished by the most fastidious. The grain furnishes the mineral constituents and^the albuminous portion, in connection with the . milk) and the combination is one that makes good eggs. Hens fed ex clusively on grain do not produce eggs of the best flavor, but their eggs are infinitely better than those from hens that must depend altogether on themselves for their living. The quality of eggs depends altogether on the feed the hens eat, and where this is understood, consistent eggs are valued as being worth twice as much a? those lacking consistency. ?Pomona Herald. Scrcenn For Stable Windows. The wire screens commonly used in houses to keep out flies are now so cheap that they can be profitably used in stable windows for the same purpose. But it must be remembered that the stable is itself the most common breeding place for flies, in tho excrement from animals in which the flies deposit their eggs. Unless care is- taken to gather up ana remove tne droppings before there is time for eggs to hatch, the window screens will serve rather to shut the flies in than to keep them out. Stables should never be built near houses, because if they are nothing can keep houses from being overrun with flies. .Next to the stable as a breeding place for these pests is the sink hole, where slops of all kinds are thrown to pass oil" through drains underneath. It is possible that where these conditions prevail, flie3, though annoying, are really beneficial. Flies doubtless destroy much filth, and thus lessen the malaria which would prevail if they had not been created. But it is far better to place all decaying substances under ground, where the earth will absorb their bad odors, than to leave them on the surface to breed flies. Fomlcatlnc an Orchard. The only remedy which is absolutely for nil kinds nf scale is thai i of fumigation. This was first practiced in California in the citrus belt to check the ravages of the cottony cashion scale and the red scale. Hydrocyanic acid gas proved most effective and is now used almost exclusively. C. W. Woodworth, in bulletin 122 of the California Experiment Station, describes in detail the process of fumigating treeB in an orchard. Briefly, it consists in covering the trees with some sort of tent, generating the gas and allowing it to remain until the scales have been destroyed. The tent generally used is what is known as a hoop tent and ranges from eight to fourteen feet in diameter. The hoop itself is of three-quarter inch gas pipe, but half inch will dofoi smaller sizes. The manipulation of the tent varies according to its size. If the trees are small, it can be easily thrown over a tree, put in place and then taken off. If the trees are of considerable pize some effort will be required. In the illustration the method of changing from one tree to anothei is shown. After the fumigation if completed, the hoop is lifted until il ia in the po'sition shown at b. Twc men, holding the sides of the tent, carry it to the next tree and place itic the position shown at c. Then, without pausing, and while the tent is ful? of air, the upper end of the hoop if forced over the tree and down the other side to about d. The hoop cat) then ; be easily pulled down to the ground to e. If there is any trouble ia pulling over the cloth, the third man with the pole goes round the tent and lifts the cloth away from the tree, re lieving some of the friction and enabling it to adjust itcelf to the top. Common duck is used for making the tents, most of them being of eight ? \Vj. / <*'PV~ \' ) j M ONE TREE TO ANOTHER. ounce canvas. After the tent is made, it is rendered gastight by one of thrfee methods. The first is coating it with thoroughly boiled linseed oil, applied with a brubii until the entire cloth be comes saturated. If properly done, the tent remains strong and tight and is not too stiff. The second method is the use of sizing aud paint. The sizing is applied in the same manner as oil, and penetrates the fiber in the same way. As soon as this coating is dried, it is followed by a coating oi a?1.1 --J- 11 ?( ^ ueiiuie jJHiut, usuanjr uu uuvu oiuvu VJ the tent. The third method is to saturate the cloth with a decoctiou ol chopped leaves of common prickly pear cactus. This is made by filling a barrel two-thirds full of chopped stems and adding cold water until the barrel is nearly full. Allow the stems to soak for twenty-four hours aud then draw off the solution, which is ready for use. Tents treated in this way are liable to mold, but by adding to tho solution a little tannin this is prevented. Soak the tent in the solution over nigl^t and then raise in the morning and allow to dry. The cloth is scarcely stiffened and seems to be very satisfactory. Potassium cyanide, iu an earthen vessel, is introduced under the end of the tent, sulphuric acid is added, and the hydrocyanic gas is generated. The amount of cyanide will vary with the size of the tree. A treo four feet high, three feet in diameter, will require two ounces of dry cyanide, one-third ounce acid and half ounce water. If the tree is seven feet high and four leet in diameter, use one ounce of cyanide, one-half ounce acid and two ounces of water, and so on in proportion. Forty minutes are required for the gas to do its work effectively. Tho fumigation is best done at night. The gas is a deadly poison, and great care must be used when fumigating. ?American "Agriculturist. Wor?? Than the Duimluin.

Parisians had heard of the late Jay Gould and his high-piled millions of money, but for the past two years they have "been receiving a special objectlesson on the power of wealth in newworld hands, in the effort of his daughter, the Countess de Castellane, to reproduce in Paris the palace of the Grand Trianon, as built by the French Kings at Versailles more than two centuries ago. Three-quarters of an acre of land was bought at the intersection of the Avenue du Bois de Boulogne and the Avenue Malakoff, at an expense of clo9e to a million of dollars, this being the most costly residential site in Paris. Public interest has been made keen by the announcement that while the exterior would hold true to the fourteenth century, the interior was to be a blending of the fonrteenth and fifteenth periods, if tbe Gould millions and the canning of the French architects could compass this unique desire. The revival of two historic periods in French architectural history was so remarkable an undertaking that from its beginning the progress of this house has been followed with such a wide interest as has been given to few purely private building projects. In May tho family was occupying the central portion, but the interior decoration of the two wings probably cannot be completed in less than two years more. When it became known such amaison wa3 to be attempted many of the French said it would take twenty fears to build and furnish with art treasures; but Western enterprise and local ingenuity promise its completion in a fifth of the time. The property will then have cost thirty millions of trancs, or six millions of dollars. Both the Count and Countess are collectors Df rare art works and bric-a-brac, and in a single year, it is said, they expended a million of dollars in pur abases for their new residence. When the matter of ceilings was being arranged for the Castellanes went to [taly and songht the splendid palace of Verona. They did not want the palace, but coveted the eleven ceilings it contained from the brush of Tiepolo, and these could be secured only by the purchase of the old structure.?Edward Page Gaston, in the Woman's Home Companion.

Soda water, so called because first made with soda, is a mineral water, made of carbonic acid and water, and flavored with various kinds of syrups. Its common name has now no meaning, because the soda water of the present day has no soda in it. Carbonic acid will mix with water at the common heat and pressure of the air, but if the heat be lessened and the pressure increased, muc- more of it can bo forced into the water. In making sod?, water the carbonic acid is obtained by pouring weak sulphuric acid over marble dust, which sets free the gas. This is then forced by means of a powerful pump into the water contained in a very strong airtight vessel. The water thus im. -i j pregnatea wiiu gau is umnu vu m>v fountains or is bottled.

The industries by which markets are supplied and the communications, land or sea, by which these markets are reached, have, since 1815, come to depend more and more upon coal. The twentieth century will see a marked increase in the prise of the coal of the United Kingdom. Of European Powers RuE6ia has by far the greatest reserve of coal. India, Austria, and South Africa will come to the aid of the British Empire; but tho United States must become the centre of the world's coal supply, to be, in the far future, perhaps supplanted by China aud Japan.

The nse of the word "staterooms" as applied to the cabins on a steamer or other vsssel is of curious origin. In the palmy days of steamboating on the Mississippi and OhioBivers the passenger packets were fitted up with every accommodation for the guests. It was the cuiitom on the better class of boats to name the cabins after 'the various States of the Union. Thus there would be a "Virginia" cabin, a "Massachusetts" cabin, a "Maryland" cabin, etc. There was considerable rivalry as to which State should have the most handsomely furnished cabin named after it. Passengers coming from different parts of the country took sides and often made it uncomfortable for steamboat captains when they imagined that the State of their birth had been slighted, In consequence it , gradually became the oustom to number the cabins instead of naming them. This is now the universal rule, the 'Texas" alone surviving. As is fitting, the "Texas" is always the largest 2abin on the boat. It is used for sleeping quarters by the crew and is located immediately under the pilot house. Bat the name stateroom has stack and is now in universal use. One of Scotl'a Heroine*.
