FOB FARM AND GARDEN. RENOVATING OLD PB AB TREES, The ooppor sulphate solution used for killing th? varions fungi on our fruit trees will tend to keep the moss or lichens from growing,bnt the rou0'h bark and lichens on the trunk caa do no harm. Botter spend the time in a little pruning, not too much,and thin sing the fruit, and feed the trees lib erally with bone meal and potash, rather than apply washes to kill the moss. Look ont for borers also and dig out every one found.-New Bug le id Homestead. PAINTING TO REPEL BORERS. Insects are so largely guided by the sense of smell that anything which disguises the odor of their favorite food or places for depositing eggs is likely to serve as protection by throw ing them off the traek. Fainting with white paiat in which a .little oarbolio acid has been used to mix the paint has been found an effectual preventive of the attacks of the peach-tree borer. The trunk should be paiuted to a height of two feet or more, and the earth should be scraped away so as to paint sevaral inches beneath the sur face. This earth should bo replaced after the paint has driel The odor of carbolic acid in paint remains a long time, and once painting each year will probably be sufficient protection. It is possible, however, that the borer finding the peach trunk disguised near tho ground may take to laying its eggs higher np. It may be even neoessary to paint the trunk in that case ac; far as where the limbs branch out. -Boe torfCultivator. BULK IN HOG FEEDING. Nearly forty yearn' experience in handling hogs teaehes me, writes A. Gk Chase, of Millwood, that for best results we must increase the capacity of the hog's stomach. It matters little what we use to accomplish this, whether it be potatoes, clover, slop or whatnot-just in proportion us wo in crease the capacity of the stomach, just in that proportion wo wnTmake a profitable feeder. A clover-raised pig up to ten or twelve months will in the succeeding weeks of the fattening process make from one-third to one-half more pounds of gain than the pig that has been raised strictly upon corn. This is Mr. Harris's idea for saying "tbat three bnshels of corn and four bush els of potatoes (cooked) will make more pounds of pork than four bushels of corn." Hence if one has not the clover it will pay to feed the growing pigj a ration of cooked potatoes or a bulky slop of bran and shorts, or in fact anything that from its bulk tends to increase the capaoity of the stomach. This idea cannot be too strongly urged upon onr western feeders. -New York Tribune? POPCORN POB^ROPn. Why do we bear so little about the raising of popcorn, asks professor J. R. Moore. How many farmers' boys and girls, yes and grown peoplo too, I wonder, know there is money in it! For several years past I have kept an accurate account of everything raised and sold from our garden, and know jost what articles bring in the most money. Wo plant golden popcorn and find it prolific, while the ears and kernels are extra large. The corn when popped is a beautiful, delicious cream color. The shelled corn sells at four cents per pound here, which is at tho rate of $2.40 per bushel. But we do not prefer selling ?? in that way. A pouud of the shelled popcorn nicely popped makes nine quarts of popped corn, and a bushel consequently would make 510 quarts. We use Mrs. Borer's recipe-dressing tho freshly popped corn with a little melted butter, stirring the corn while pouring it on, and then dusting light ly with a little line salt (Jnst try some and be convinced that it is de licious!) We Bell the corn prepared thus, direct to cousuiners at five cents per quart, at a curbstone market in our nearest town. D.>es not $27 pay well for the labor aud cost of raising, preparing and selling a bushel of pop corn? My books prove in what order farm products are profitable with us, and I knowingly say, plant popcorn for profit.-Practical farmer. SELLING BUTTER IN THE HOME MARKET. - I Printing and marketing bnttor was the subject of an able paper by W. I Stewart of Grimes, at the lato Iowa dairy convontiou. Ho is a large creameryman, who prints a l his but ter and sells it in home market?. He 6tated that home markets wera the most profitable, and that bat little money was made on butter shipped ont of the state. Packages for home trade should be small. The butter in making prints should bo fresh. It can never bo too frosh. Soil as soon as possible after making. Small prints are best, both for family and hotel trade. One-half to one pound priuts are tho most desirable. Usually four to five cents extra per pound is re ceived for printed butter over that packed in jars. The principal objec tion to print butter is the labor in preparing ii The work in reality is not so difficult. Never usa anything bnt the boat for tho print trade.

Th is bad enough, but it may not be tl worst, if the day is really wnrm ar sunny. Where the colonies are stror it is very possible that he may fin brood rearing already commenced : a small way, and he straightway tak< the alarm, thinks of what he has rea concerning the value of stimulatii feeding in the spring for early brooc and at once fills the feeders. He hi probably already chilled tho brooc the bees had started, and ho will prc bably work additional harm. Unt spring really is at hand, tho bec should be kept as quiet as possible Brood rearing or any other abnormi activity in the middle of winter onl shortens the lifo of the bee (a bee life is much shorter during the worL ing season than the Benson of rest] and the owner may have bad case of spring dwindling o his hands. All that is wanto in stimulative feeding is tho building np of a strong colony for the firs honey flow. Oao of moderato siz and quiet in mid-winter is far mor valuable than one much stronger am stirring into abnormal activity by toi early stimulative feeding.

Are you providing grit aud lime foi your fowls these days? They have tc remain in doors, and can't pick up anything but what you give them. If you haven't a good warm hen house your fowls have forgotten to lay during the past week or two. You must keep them comfortable if they are to do good work at egg laying. If you catch a hen or rooster eat ing eggs, take a sharp knife and clip tho point off the fowl's bill. This will make it tender BO it can't pick a hole in the shell. It cannot injure the fowl. ' Somo people think nest eggs unnec essary, but such is not the cuse. It is as necessary for fowls to "brood" something as it is for a girl to play with dolls. They enjoy tho nest egg, and it does no harm. Have one in every nest. The American Beo-Keoper gives the followiug direction for making candy for bees: Two pounds of granulated sugar; boil it until it will crack when dropped in cold water; then remove from the fire and stir in one pound of good extracted honey ; then stir until it creams and you have candy that the bees can use in all weather. In the effort to make hens lay and chickens grow, many poultry keepers hove a habit of feeding red popper, ginger and prepared stimulants with every mess of ground feed or vege tables. When the birds show an in creased appetite, and greater appar ent vigor, the stimulant is given in greater quantities on the principle that if a little will do good, moro of tho same will do greater good.

SHE GOT THE JOB. An energetic woman about thirty years old applied for work at the office of the United States rubber com pany, in New York city, and was told by the clerk to go upstairs and see the foreman. The woman, not know ing the way, went out into the yard, and, seeing no other way to get np, she tucked up her skirts and ascended tho fire escape to the fourth story. There she opened a window and climbed iu, to tho surprise of ?be foreman, who was standing near by. The foreman, after recovering from his embarrassment, asked her what she wanted. The woman stated her mission. She got the job. -Atlanta Constitution. A WOMAN VETERINARY. To Mrs. Charles E. M. Ecklin, of this city, must be given the credit for a delicate piece of surgery that should awaken the admiration of profession als. A cage containing a favorite canary fell to the floor, and in the crash poor little Dick suffered a broken leg. Mr. Eeldin snmmoued his wife and installed her as chief surgeon. Beach ing into the cage, he quiokly seized tho little sufferer and secured him firmly in the palm of his left hand* with both tiny legs turned upward. A tiny splint was then cut from a match and a lint of cotton one-half an inch wide and about three inches long was well saturated with listerine. Mra Eeldin then with a delicate touch straightened tho leg, applied the eplint and wound the limb, whioh.was held in placo by thread. Tho bird moped for a day or two hut gradually grew cheerful, and at intervals would cautiously put down its lame leg. On the fifth day he kept the leg down and sang as cheerily as ever. Ou tho "tenth day the bandages were removed, as he was discovered pecking at them. Barring a slight enlargement at the point of tho frac ture, the little songster is as good a bird as ever.-Now York .Tournai. ABOUT WOMEN'S WAISTS, Tho question of tho proper size of women's waists is being agitated with some heat in the London society jour nals. Tho field seems to bo divided into two parties, one of which may be called tho "16-inchere," who insist that no female figure can be beautiful if tho waist is larger in girth than 16 inches. The other party comprises tho "18-inchers." who hold out for an additional two inches in the length of the girdle. Tho discussion was announced by tho statement carelessly made - by a man of prominence that in thees days of athletics and bicycles, that is no such thing as a small waist. It is not likely that the two sets of contro versalists will ever arrive at au under standing and agree to split the differ ence and compromise at seventeen inches. Meanwhile, it is asserted by sculpt ors and artists that a woman's waist should be proportionate to her other physical dimensions. The discussion will probably end in nothing of good for the female anat omy. A vain woman will do almost anything rather thau wear any but the smallest possible waist And the larger a woman is, if she be vain,, the more prominent will be her effort to reduc? her waists to a girth abso lutely out of all proportion to thereat of her figure.-New York Journal, PERFUMING THE SKIN. From Paris comes the news that per fumes have boen restored to favor. The uso of hypodcrmio'sinjeotions of violet extract is tho latest freak of tho Parisienne. This method is said to impart a lasting fragrance to the skin. It is already quite easy to se lect among the women at receptions those who are addicted to this habit The plan originated with a Paris druggist, who communicated it to a few well-known women. They con fided in others, who in turn told their friends. Now, it is assorted, half the' society women in tho gay city use the needle and tho delicate extract. This is all tho more surprising from the fact that until very recently tho uso of scents has been considered ex ceedingly bad form, Women of re? fined taste avoided everything in that line except a delicate sachet powder whiob was allowed to fiad a plooo lu ibo bamlkorchiof box and clothes closet Moid Parisian whims find en? thusiastio ?supporters here, however, and it ii very probable that with, the American morphine fiend and cologne drinker we shall have the perfume,fad: dist.

WOMAN'S EDUCATION. Dr. Eliza Mosher of Brooklyn, who has been appointed dean of the liter ary department of the University of Michigan, will also be instructor in hygiene there.. Dr. Mosher is enthu siastic concerning college education for women. She declares that women who have had a college training make the best homes and take the best care of their homes. In defending her opinion she relates the following Btory : "I think the happiness of married life depends to a great extent upon the education of tho woman. An inter esting experience came to me at one time because of my belief in that theo ry. It was when I was a professor at Vassar college. I had made, I think, an after-dinner speech in favor of the highest education for women. Not long after, I met the superintendent of pnblio schools of a neighboring town, and he bogan a conversation upon women's education. "I do not believe in so much study for women," he said. "Ido not want my wife to commenoo to talk about books when I come home all tired out" "No," I answered, "but you want your wifo to understand enough about books to be able to talk to you abont other things. For tho first 20 years after she is married, a woman is usually confined olosely at home. She' has her house and her children to care for. If she has not a good stock of knowledge on hand she has so little time for self development tbat her mind gradually grows smaller and smaller. In the meantime, during that twenty years, the husband is out in the business world, mixing with all sorts of people and getting the best education of his life." That man confessed to me that his own domestic life was very much what I had described, and that his wife, at the end of the day, had nothing to talk to him about but her domestio trials.- Naw York Press. FASHION NOTES. Bibbon bows add much to the looks of almost every package. A touch of black on any gown is deemed Parisian and ebie. White camellias have become very fashionable as boutonni?res. The woman in a crepe veil would not be recognized by her own mother. Tailor-made gowns are some shorter in skirts. Also loss full. Sleeves as big as ever. White cloth opera cloaks, with many narrow lines of sable, are con sidered elegant Suitings for spring come mostly in also being sold. Gray boucle doth, white orepe vest, gray ribbons and cut steel buttons is a hint from France. Fashion has set her stamp of ap proval on white and all delicate colors for this season's wear. A few of the new parasols have peeped out of their wrappings in the shops. They are truly gorgeous. Sateens are not in large demand. Dresden patterns are popular for waists, both in light and dark goods. Collars receive special interest. All sorts of trimming aro used on them. Beads, ribbons, laces, feathers, furs, etc Mario Antoinette capes come only to the elbow, and have deep, loose hoods that are gathered to a rosette at the back, and that flare at either side of the face in front. Tho French are nsing plush cloths that imitate furs ibis season, some of them representing baby lamb, with its moire desigus, others moro like the closely curled Persian lamb. There is no material that is more universally popular than serge, and the reason is not far to seek, for it would be difficult to find anything that will stand so much hard wear, and resist bad weather so satisfac torily. A splendid collar of chinchilla-fur, made separate, adds warmth and dis tinction to the body ; and the unitiated may learn hero that this silvery skin is, according to French taste, quite tho most catchy thing for green or brown. The Newmarket coat returns to favor. It is shown in beaver cloth, with and without strapped seams. The fronts aro double-breasted, and neck finished with large revers. The basque joins on across hips, and back fullness is pleated. A fashion note of significance is tho return in smart London and Parisian circles to the wear with evening dress of long, loose-wristed black Suede gloves. This fashion was always be coming to the hand and decidedly beneficial to the purse. As summer approaches tho plaid effects will be produced in cotton goods, and that will probably end those particular designa Patterns that are rich looking on silk and wool fabrics are often a disappointment when brought out in materials that must visit the laundry. Absolutely new fashions aro not in evidence yet except as they are tug* geiiively displayed hy the gradual opening of spring novelties, aud it ii impossible te arrive at any definite conclusions as to what changea there will be in the fashioning of garments. The general lines of dress'bid fair to remain about the same, with very full, plain skirts, full waists and sleeves of varying degrees of expansion. FOE THE HOUSEWIFE. HOW TO TREAT LETTUC? When lettuce comes from the mar ket immediately cut off the roots far enough to loosen the larger leaves. Wash it all thoroughly, spread out an old napkin, or better still a square of cheesecloth, and place the clean, wet lettuce leaves, as though they were all together like a peddler's pack and place it on the ice. When time for serving arrives, though it be not for two or threo days, the lettuce will be clean, crisp and perfectly dry. This is the very best way to prepare it,and does away with drying each leaf-a process sure to bruise the tender leaves. Celery should be treated the same way. Cut off the big tops, pre pare it for the table piece by piece, wrup it in a wet cloth and keep on the icc. At meal time tLore is nothing to do but put on the celery dish what is needed and it will be clean, dry and crisp.- New York Mercury. AK IDEAL KITCHEN". The ceiling had been painted be fore the drying of the plaster so that it could always be scrubbed when smoke and steam and flies had discol ored it. Its tint was the very last and palest and coolest shade of blue. The walls were wainscoted with hard wood for a height of some six feet from the floor, so that all sp 'ter of grease could be washed off at once. The samo compatible end would have been attained,however, had the wains coting been of varnished pine. Above the wainscoting the wall space wes covered with a yellow draped paper of tho kind that receives varnish, and that, owing to the coating of varnish, can he washed. The paper costs fif teen cents a roll. This kitchen was a double room, the range being in the outer room and a pipo from it running through the inner room to the chim ney, which did not ovorheat that room in summer and made it comfort able in winter. In this inner room was the ironing table and the marble slab for pastry-making. In both kitchens was a white porce lain sink, open beneath with rows ol hooks for pots and pans and bright copper articles ; there wa3 no possi bility of hiding places under these siuks for uncleaned utensils or for oily rags or for filth of any sort On a shelf over the sink of the inner kitchen stood the lamps, and in this room they were cleaned and trimmed and filled. The corresponding sink of the outer kitchen was used for dishwash ing and general kitchenwork. Over this sink hung a double row of skil lets and stewpans, the outside a dark lapis lazuli, the inside pure white por celain. In the adjoining pantry were plaoes for the flour and grains, for the bread and cake and pies; a refrigera tor for oold meats and one for milk and butter. In the kitchens them selves were cupboards for the kitchen ""dishes amTfor the ironiufc^^enj^ls, \ In the outer kitchen were a sofa and some rocking chairs, seldom used till after dark, when the varnished roller shades were drawn down ; al so a swinging lamp over the rango and another above the table where tho kitchen people ato, and the whole place looked then as if it were more a fairy laboratory for tho making of flowers thua a common kitchen for the cooking of meats.-Chicago Re cord.
