ADAMS, PR?PPJETOE. VOL. LXII. NO. 44. Cobl Water for Kose Slug*. Rose slugs rtre very troublesome, es pecially ou sandy soil, where they will iucrease faster than they can be killed off. It is not so generally known as it should be that cold water thrown with a force pump agaiust rose bushes will entirely destroy the slugs and do the roses no harm. Water that is heated to 130 degrees or 140 degrees will also kill not only rose slugs but most kinds of insect pests. Cabbage- Worms. To keep the cabbage worm off the late cabbage, soak some dry corn cobs in kerosene for a few days, then place an old pan in the patch on a box or other support two or three feet high. Two or more of these would be better than one if the patch is large. Just at dusk drop two or three of the soaked cobs into the pan and apply the match; throw on fresh cobs as needed to keep a bright blaze going for an hour ur more, and large numbers of the moths -svhich lay the epgs which hatch the "worms" which destroy our crops will be destroyed.-Tho Epito mist.

A hen in good laying condition Mill never produce an egg other than of the normal size peculiar to* her breed, and if fat she is entirely unfitted for laying. If a fat hen is killed she will be found full of" eggs, so to speak, but they will be noticed to be of all sizes, and the poultryman will be amazed over thc fact she did nut lay, but examination will show that obstructions of fat were the cause, and that the hen is then more profitable dead than when alive. -The Progressive South. Soot Water. Water in which soot has been dis solved has always been a favorite with florists for manuring plants, and also at the same time keeping uti'injurious insects. It has a slight smell of sul phur, to which doubtless its power to repel injurious insects is due. We have often put a little soot in water and used it on cucumber and melon plants to keep off the strijied bug. If done before any eggs are laid it will repel them. The dark color from the soot on the leaves holds the heat, and when it is washed upon the ground it makes the soil warmer. ?Some am monia iu tho water makes it much more effective as a fertilizer. The soot is pure carbon and has considerable power to absorb ammonia, which it will give ont only as the roots of plants surround the carbon thus charged and ?boori? it. -Dociton Ottliwritog? Liberal Grans Sending. There may bc reason for lightly Beeding of grains which will often from a single kernel produce two, three or even more stalks and a pro portionate increase of yield. But iu grass seeding this rule does not hold; each seed can produce but one sta'k. This, under the most favoring circum stances, may spread, so as to cover a wide space. But in grass seeding everything is at first against thc young plant. Its seed is small, whiio tho grain is comparatively largo. Natu rally the grass plant is conespt.ndiug ly small and wholly nuable tu com pete with the more vigorous weeds which are always ready to smother it. The only way in weedy ground, as most long-cultivated soil is, must therefore be to seed so heavily that the grass crop must from the first have the advantage. This is the sea son for fall seeding. We therefore advise to seed heavily, and in addition sow some clover seed in the spring, which v% ill fill in the vucaut spaces which thc fall seeding has not occu pied. It is an old saying that nature abhors a vacuum. It is never inore true than when grass or clover and weeds are growing together. There is no better way to exclude weeds than to aeed heavily with grass or clover, either of which, if seeded so as to cover the whole ground, is thc best weed exterminator known. Land Too Rich for Winter Groin. It is not at all uncommon to have land that if sown with Smalt" grain would produce a heavy growth ol straw without grain. The straw growth always kills all clover and grass seeding sown with it, obliging the owner of the land to keep it nuder the plow until its excess of nitro genous fertility has been used up. In such case, we should advise sowing crimson clover as early as possible, and any kind of grain crop that you think will make the best protection for it. This will use up part of the available fertility, but if the clover is plowed under for sume hoed crop, as it should be, this fertility will be just in time to help a potato crop in the following July or August. A green manuring plowed under in spring, eveu only in winter rye, makes a ? "eat difference in the yield of potatoes over land not so fertilized. A growth of crimson clover, even if it were winter killed is worth much more than rye on like soil and conditions. This cropping of very rich land every sea sun sowing crimson clover in the fall, helps free the land of weeds. It also to some extent exhausts fertility. But a potato or corn crop usually pays so much better thau any small grain crop that you should be glad if you can cultivate land two or three years in succession before seeding it. When you do seed it sow grain rather thinly and seed heavily with both grass and clover seed, for which two or three years'cultivation will be good prepara tion.-American Cultivator. Bran for Cows In Bummer. AH good cows fresh in milk grow poor in summer, when they have noth ing but pasture. They also grow poor on any other like succulent feed. Corn fodder averages poorer than grass and clover pasture in available nutrition for milk making. So even after corn fodder supplements the grass feed, the cow is obliged to make up for the deficiency in feed from the futs previously stored in her own body, especially -ou the intestines, ?where they are most available for this purpose. Everyone who has killed old cows knows that a very large part of their fat is on the intestines, show ing that nature has for years adapted this method of storing fat as being the best resource to supply milk when the food given was insufficient. When corn begins to ear, some of ' this is likely to be fed to milch cows. But corn grain is more likely to fatten than to increase the milk flow, espe cially where the first flow has been lessened by insufficient feeding. It is not usually so muchr fats as in nitrogenous nutrition that pastures fail. Far belter than corn or other grains for feeding cows at pasture is wheat bran. There is also less dan ger of cloying the appetite. Grain is too hearty and cannot be digested alone in hot weather. Much more grain can be eaten if it is mixed with bran. This is itself quite as good for increasing milk flow as is bran. But as oats cost more the bran is usually preferred where it is only needed for that purpose. There is more advantage in feeding bran to cows in summer than the im mediate gain from keeping up the milk flow ut the time. If the cow is kept to her best in Bummer she will give more in fall and winter also, pro vided the summer milk product has not been allowed to decrease her flesh and vitality to too great au extent. In other Avoids, if judicious feeding of cows while at pasture ia practiced they will give more and better milk nil the year, and can be profitably milked nearer to the time of calving. This has a very great effect on the milking character of the calf which the cow is then bearing. It has al ways been noted that no deep milking breed of cows has ever been developed except where there was warm and moist weather during most of the year, causing the production at all times uf succulent feed. Undoubtedly the increased use of ensilage in this country will improve the milking qualities of dairy stock, or will nt least prevent it from deteriorating. But with improved milking capacity must also be developed tho ability to eat ? greater amount of nutritious food at all seasons of the year. The breeder of good stock, especially for the dairy, must always bc a good feeder, by which we mean not only that he muet give enough, but he must have skill to select the kinds of feed best adapted to his pnrposes. Farm and (?arden Notes. Because '.he level valley is richer tba'.i thc hillside it is quite common for fanners to suppose that there must bp each year a heavy deposit from the hillside in the valley below. But if any one manures a hillside with the expectation that it will appreciably fertilize the soil farther down the hill he will learn his mistake. The old saying, choice articles ar? put up in small packages, applies equally as well to hogs as to anything else.

'If.;-, and ^vhat the people want now is as near a perfect hog as possible, one that will fatten easily and sell rapidly. The small ridges left by the drill should remain. They protect the young plants from the wind and from heaving in thc winter, for the same agency that pulls the plants up by the roots molders the ridges down at the same time. In dry weather the plants find more moisture in the valleys than if the surface were a level plain to be swept in the wind, ns a floor is swept with a broomi If a heavy rain occurs about seeding time, it is an excellent plan for those who have not sown to go at it soon as the ground is dry enough to work well, for it is much better to sow just after rather than just before a rain. W7e have seen fields a part of which were drilled just before and the rest just after a rain,and have noticed that the after-seedings made tho better growth and yield ns a rule. A good clover sod is a most excel* lent preparation for wheat, as,indeed, for most any crop. Even when a crop of hay is taken off in June nud the ground plowed as soon as possible thereafter, the clover Btubble and roots nre very beneficial in improving ' thc mechanical texture of most soils and in providing available food for the wheat plants. Wc never knew sod ground plowed in July or early August to bc tolled, harrowed- and drigged too much for best results. Did you ever see a cabinetmaker finish a fine piece of furniture? WThen thc material comes from the saw it is simply rough lumber. When planed, it is reasonably smooth, but far from being finished; much sandpapering, rubbing and j olishing must follow be fore the job is complete. The more work he puts on, the better price he will receive for the article. So with the wheat field; the plow leaves the ground rough, and there must follow much planing, rubbing and polishing. The better finish.we put ou, the more profit in the crop. Crude and careless methods crop out iv. the application of manure as elsewhere. To secure the best returns from farm manures they must be fined and distributed evenly. The niauure spreader does both to perfection, though if a man is careful and doesn't get in top much of a hurry, he can do a very good job with a fork. Unload ing in heaps may be out of date, but we believe a better job spreading can be done fruin heap than from wagon. But thc heaps must be Bpread before rains wash the soluble portions into thc ground where the heaps lay. A Peculiar Affliction. Carpenter Middaugh of Ottowa, Kan., is suffering under a peculiar affliction. He struck his head on the sharp corner of a cupboard in his house seven months ago, but beyond a slight wound over the eyebrow he experienced no immediate inconven ience because of the mishap, and he paid little attention to it. On a hunt ing expedition he was about to make a shot, when he found that with his left eye closed he was blind. Now the other eye has been affected synrpaihet* ically. -New York Sun. Hope Deferred.

A VISIT TO THE FROZEN- WARE HOUSES IS INTERESTING. Tho Walls Are of Extraordinary Thick ness-By Means of Piped Chemicals the Temperature Is Kept Below Zero Eatables Kept for Tears. The almost perfect system to which cold storage has been brought in this . city and its suburbs is known only in a general way to the average citizen. It will doubtlessly cause surprise to persons who are not familiar with the facts to learn that rt quail they eat for breakfast has been dead in some cases for one or two years, and that quail and other game birds, fish and meat are frequently frozen for a year or more and then sold in as good a con dition as they were the day they were put into the great ice-house. Tho business has grown to such di mensions that it is estimated roughly that market men, shippers and others interested in the trade hav? $15)000/ 000 invested in the b?sin?ssj exclusive of the cost of the buildings; Darge structures? Usually located adjacent to the markets or the railroad depotsj are in demand for cold storage ware1 houses, and there rtr? several ?? upper West street, more near Washington market, others located near the Fulton market aud under the arches of the Brooklyn bridge, that seem particular ly well adapted for the purpose. Ex cept in the case of fruit and such vege tables as are destroyed by freezing, it is said to be seldom that provisions are sold to the consumer upon arrival in this city. Prices, of course, have much to do with the sales, and when there is an overstock of chickens, eggs, beef, fish, meat or similar coni: modify, it is packed away in d cold storage warehouse, where it is held until prices justify a sale. As regards game, it was only last winter that emissaries cf the state game warden came to this city to find out why certain restaurants were sell ing venison, pheasants, quail and every other sort of game ont of season. The deputy game wardens had quail for breakfast in September, when the law said that they should not be killed until December; venison for dinner, when deer can only be hunted in Jan uary, and woodcock and snipe. Then they made a list of the restaurants where the game had been obtained and arrested the proprietors, Thc pro^ prietors gave the names of the mon from Whom they had bought the game} and these were found to have obtained it from the warehousemen. It was learned that some of the game had been killed more than a year before during the regular season. There were expressions of consciousness and wonderment on the faces of the game wardens when they departed for home. In their reports they said the law had not been violated. "We certainly have developed tho business," said one of the ware housemen, "to a point that ls un equalled in any other part of th? world; Europe has nothing like the cold warehouse system of this city; Even royal personages have io ,tilkd their vegetables, meat, fruit and game in season. Here wc do not. The cold warehouse system has been growing so slowly aud yet surely iii this city that it would be considered rt hardship by citizens if they had to do without it.

Ililli-j 111 f??xo?, i.i'..?faO lifter the time they are grown or killed. Eich men want trout at all seasons of the year, when it is known that they can only be obtained in thc spring. Young chickens caunot be obtained except at their weight in gold during the winter, if they arc grown during the cold months and killed just before being used. By means of the Cold storage system they cost little more on New Year's day than they do in May. Spring lamb, that was obtain able formerly only in May and June, is carefully packed away in the spring and sold the succeeding winter and weeks before the earliest spring lamb of the following spring is born. Beef and mutton are not kept nearly so long-no need to do so. "Bluefish can be. obtained only at certain seasons, yet they are fin sale all thc time. The same is true regard ing bass, mackerel and other fish. Oysters and clams are also kept for months at a time and frequently from one scnt'o? to another.'' A visit to one of these warehouses is interesting. The walls aro of extra ordinary thickness, sheathed with wood and filled with huge ice-boxes. In some of the more modern ware houses the same chemicals used to make artificial ice are circulated through the rooms b}' means of pipes, which keep the temperature several degrees below zero. The fish, meat or game to be preserved is packed in tho ice-boxes, which have doubla walls, and the ice is packed around them. With the atmosphere around them below zero, thc articles to be preserved are kept at a temperature that would make an Arctic explorer shiver until they are wanted, when they are taken out and sold, some times in a few days, and as often in a feAv months. The refrigerator cars have helped to develop the cold stor age business. There are about twenty-five large cold storage warehouses in this city and a greater number of small ones. In all they employ nearly a thousand men.-New York Commercial Adver tiser. Naval Observatory Flagpole.

Table Manners of a Fish Built on Tor. nedo Boat Specifications. The gar may be described as a fish built on torpedo boat lines considera bly drawn out. There is one now at the Aquarium which came from Lake Erie, is three feet long, and doesn't look to be three inches through amid ships. Its snout is long, slender, and tapering, and its mouth opens back six or-seven inches, so that in general appearance its jaws are much like a pair of shears. When the gar ls under one bell, so to speak; it moves through the watef very smoothly, making no commotion whatever, and that is the way it moves when it sets about capturing a kill fish. It swims along very quietly and gently, with its mouth closed, in the direction of the killie, and keeps mov ing until it has overrun the killie by three or four inches; the gar then lying quietly in the Wake with tho unsuspecting killie close by. .Suddenly the gar opens its moltth slightly and swings its head sidewise and closes its jaws? Thc chancea ard that the little killie is then between the gar's iong jaws crosswise, its head projecting on one side and its tail od the other) it may be that it is paral yzed at once by the gdr's shavp tectllj or it may wriggle a little: The gnr is in nb hurry; not the slightest; it knows very well that the killie can't get away. Pretty soon it begins to shift the killie back toward its throat, so it can swallow it. The gar doesn't work the killie back in its jaws, but it opens its jaws just enough to clear the killie, and then it hitches forward itself with a movement so slight and quick as to be scarcely per-< ceptible, setting its jaws together again with the killie still lying across the upper side of the under jaw, head on one side and tail on the other, but a little nearer the gar'a throat. Still not in the slightest hurry about it, the gar repeats this two or three times, until it has got the killie pretty well back in its jaws; then it sets about slewing the killie round length wise, so as to take it in and swallow it. Most fishes prefer to swallow a fish head first, so that the fins won't S2>read ont and stick in the swallow er's throat, but it doesn't appear to make much difference to the gar which way it takes the killie; if the killie should still retain some life, and it managos to wriggle itself around in the gar's Shifting of it so that its tail is toward the gar's tail, tho gnr does not undertake to slew it clear around agaiu with its tail forward, but when it gets the killie well along side its mouth it opens it long jaws a little wider and takes the killie in bodily, closes its jaws, and moves gen tly on.-New York Sun. Thc Sleep of Plants. Like animals all plants require in tervals of repose, during which the vi tal functions are slowed down, and the Organic structures Undergo repair, t?omo plants repose during the rainy season; others during periods of drought; but while some plants sleep during the cold or the comparatively told season of thd year; others again tako their rest.when the average tem perature is high. It occurred to a Norwegian observed to investigate tho sleep of plants, more particularly with the object of shortening the period of repose, and this he claims to have at tained by subjecting the bulbs or buds to the action of cl or of orin vapor. He asserts, indeed, that plants thus treat ed subsequently develop more rapidly tiltia bliuoc -irliuoo i"cj;ooo lin? not been intensified by the narcotic action of this drug, and the observation is not without considerable interest. If his observations are trustworthy, it follows that sleep in plants is not strictly comparable to that of animal life, for wo do not suppose that the period allotted to sleep by animals could advantageously be shortened by the administration of an anesthetic. Sleep, on the other hand, is a relative rather than an absolute condition. Its value as a restorative depends in a very marked degree on its iutensity, and certain individuals derive more benefit and recuperate their jaded en ergies more effectually iu five or six hours than others do after twice as long. This recuperative energy is as serted to bc an indication of a high standard of vitality, and common ob servation certainly lends color to the view that diminished recuperative power is indicative of physiological deterioration.-London Medical Press. Punish Criminal! hy Eating Their Bodies. The most cruel form of criminal punishment is that found iu vogue among the Battaks or Battas, who in habit that part of the island of Sumatra south of Atcheen. Dr. Van der Tunk, a German discoverer, was astonished to learn how civilized the Battaks are in every respect except in their treat ment of their prisoners. There hanging and electrocuting have not the ghost of a show. Both these methods and that suggested by the recently famed Society for tho Betterment of the Hllma'i Species, would all bo voted inadequate for the proper punishment of criminals guilty of capital ofibncc8, which offences by tho way, aro much more nume rous than in the United States, thiev ing being looked upon by tho Battaks as one of tho most heinous of capital crimes. "The Battaks no sooner convict a criminal," says Dr. Van der Tunk, "than the sentence is carried out. The convict is placed face downward on a large flat stone, and the body is then chopped into pieces by small stone axes. The authorities then dis tribute these pieces among the fam ilies of tho village where the crime has been committed, and the villagers eat these pieces with the greatest relish, there being a belief current among the Battaks that if the body of a criminal is merely buried the soul may come back to the body and resurrect it." The enemies of the Battaks cap tured in war receive tho same fate as do their criminals. Women are sel dom or never executed among them. Mayor of the Smallest. City.

A million dollars seems ? pretty round sum to pay for a cloak, and probably even Worth never dreamed of asking sb fabuloils a price for the most elaborate of his garments. And yet in the National Museum at Washington ls a cloak the cost of which cannot bd reckoned at less than this vast amount^ and ladies may be pleased to learn that it was not a woman, but a man, who was guilty of such a piece of extrav agance. Long years ago, when the Hawaiian Islands, small as they are, supported not one but several flourishing king doms, the kings, chiefs and nobles, whenever they appeared in public on state occasions, wore, instead of the purple and ermine of more civilized potentates, capes and cloaks of bril liant feathers. The mdics o' the court 1vere forced to content themselves with feather hoas? as we should call them, known as "leis." These capes and collars were made from the yellow/ ted and black feathers of a few species of small birds peculiar to the Sandwich Islands, and called, from their habits, honey-suckers, fashion ruled even in those days, and as the yellow feathers were scarcer than the red, the yellow was the fashionable color, and the .more powerful the chief the more yel low was his robe of state. These yel llow feathers were found only on two or three species of hirds, the finest coming from a bird called in the na tive language "mamo" and known as ?ropanls pacifica hy ornithologists. These birds, with their striking black and yellow plumage, were as dear to the hearts of thc Hawaiian monarchs as they might be to-day to the hearts Of patriotic Princeton students, and were sought for far and near through out the islands. The populace paid poll-taxes in golden feathers ln?tead of golden dollars, and as each bird fur nished but a few feathers, the taxes may be considered as having been high. Some estimate of the valUe of the feathers may be formed from the prices paid in later times, when a piece of nankeen cloth valued at a dollar and a half was the equivalent of five feathers; but, after all, the great ele ment in the cost of these cloaks was the time and labor, since the making of a single cloak required from fifty to a hundred years. As the feathers obtained for taxes were very far from supplying the de mand, the chiefs were accustomed to employ a regular staff of bird-catchers, much as a mediaeval baron had his staff of falconers. These skilled for esters prepared a sort of birdlime from the gum of the fragrant "olapa," mixed with the juice of the breadfruit tree, and with it smeared the branches of the flowering treeB frequented by the honey-suckers-St. Nicolas.
