This emulsion destroys plant lice, squash bugs, leaf hoppers, aphis, bark lice, chinch bugs, etc., prepared as follows: Dissolve one-half pound of the best whale oil soap in four pints of water boiling. When the soap is all dissolved remove from the fire and add eight flints of kerosene, agitating the whole briskly until a stable mix ture is obtained. This is best done by using the force pump and pump ing the mixture with force against the vessel that contains it. The strength ordinarily used is prepared by diluting one part of the Emulsion in ten or twelve parts of water. In making Kerosene Emulsion only whale oil soap should be used-the common soap will not answer the purpose. The whale oil soap . costs only a few cents a pound.-Indiana Farmer. Dry Feed for Chicks. One of the best possible rations for a chick, whether reared under ben or in brooder, is what we call dry ration. It is the nearest approach to the nat ural diet of a fowl possible to attain. This method calls for all dry food, such-as rolled wheat and oats, small broken corn, rice or grain of any kind, small seeds and beef scraps mixed; to this should be ?clded small grit of some kind. The beef scrap should be of good quality, that has been properly prepared and ; nicely ground. This Kidd of food can be greatly improved by the addition of some well-broken peas and beans, and a little properly prepared clover. The peas,' beans and clover furnish the vegetable and green food, the rest the grain seed and the animal portion of their diet, giving them a most per fectly balanced ration. Should it be preferred to add to this a mixed food, it ; should be thoroughly scalded. If cooked or baked, so much the better, for this takes away the unnaturalness of the food. ?ut little trouble from feeding is experienced when this method is followed.-N. G. Temple, in Massachusetts Ploughman. Gooseberries and Currants. The Downing gooseberry pays mc well for market, being hardy and pro lific. Taking one season with another, ;att.acre of gooseberries sells for about $200. ' Among currants, the Fay is a superior variety-large, prolific and a good keeper.-John W. Page. Currants are easily grown, not re quiring especially good cultivation, and doing well even in the shade of orchard trees, but good care and plenty of fertilizer will pay. My fav orite variety is the Red Cross.-E. E. Laurence. Gooseberries are a profitable crop with me, selling at about $J.DO per bushel, wholesale. Currants also pay well, bringing an average of $2.50 per bushel. Both fruits are subject to at tacks of the currant worm, which strips the foliage', but wc fight them successfully by using a tablespoonful of paris green to a quart of slaked lime sifted on the plants while the dew is on and repeating the opera tion each week during the early part of thc season. I grow the Houghton gooseberry and the Red, Dutch, Vic toria and Fay currants. The cherry currant-with me is not productive enough.-J. B. Johnston, in American Cultivator. ' Fish for Poultry. v ? In preparing fish for fowls we pre fer to chop them up raw, add a very little salt and pepper and feed in small quantities in connection with grain and vegetables; but for young chicks It is advisable to boll before feeding and simply open the . fish down the line of the back bone, leaving to the chicks the rest of the task. This food should be given to layers sparingly, or wc may perceive a fishy smell about the eggs, especially if the fish is fed raw. All who can will do well to try this diet for their flocks, and note its effect on egg production. We have always marked a decided^ncrease in the rate of laying following an allow ance of fish fed in moderate quanti UPPI'.

American Cultivator. ?ood Grafting Wax. four parts (ounces or pounds) /ax two parts, tallow one part. Melt together slowly in an iron ves sel, stirring with a stick and taking care that there is no danger of burn ing. In about 20 minutes or so, when well mixed, pour out a portion into a vessel of cold water. This in a min ute or so will be cool enough to take up and work with the hands, pulling it like taffy. The hands must have been slightly greased with tallow, to prevent the wax from sticking to them. When the wax has been pulled enough until it becomes light-colored, it may bc .nade into rolls or balls, and put into another vessel of cold water to harden; and then laid away until required for use. Other portions of the melted wax may be poured into the first vessel of cold water from time to time, and treated as before until all is used up. In using this wax in the orchard, if the day is cold it will need to lie in warm water (when not in use) in or der to have it of the proper consis tency for working well; and in warm weather it may need to be kept lying in cold water for the same purpose. This wax has been used for many years and it answers the purpose per fectly; never cracking and falling off the graft in . the coldest weather or melting and running down the stock in summer.-Southern Fruit Grower. Muskmelon Culture. Last season we had very good suc cess in growing muskmelons, both for home use .and for market. The ground, a black loam, was plowed rather early and put in good condi tion by the use of the drag and har rop. ' In the spring a generous appli cation of barnyard manure was spread upon the ground and turned under. As soon as the danger of frost was over we planted the seeds in hills, in rows about 3 1-2 feet apart, and the hills about seven feet in the rows. As soon as they were through the ground we wen* over the plants with salt petre water, to help drive the little striped bugs away. I think it acted as a fertilizer, for the plants made a very rapid growth afterwards. After an interval of a few days, a second application was made. We used a large tablespoonful to a bucket of water. The plants received frequent culti vation until they commenced vining and setting melons. The patch was kept free from weeds and the hills thinned, leaving only the strongest plants. The dry weather during July made the melons smaller than they would have been if plenty of moisture had been available. Half of our patch was Rocky Fords cantalopes and the re mainder was several other varieties, lt pays to have rich soil and give thorough cultivation in growing mel ons.-C. B., in Indiana Farmer, Yes, Sow Rape for the Pigs. In answer to two inquiries about the value of rape pasture for pigs, we reproduce again the following from the Wisconsin Experiment Station; Read the experience carefully. 1. That with pigs from four to ten months old, representing the various breeds of swine, an acre of rape, when properly grown, has a feeding value, when combined with a ration of corn and shorts, equivalent to 2436 pounds of mixture of these grain feeds and a money value of 519.49 per acre. 2. That rape is a better green feed for growing pigs than good clover pas ture, the pigs fed upon the rape hav ing made on thc average 100 pounds of gain on 33.5 pounds less grain than was required by the pigs fed upon clover pasture. . 3. That pigs are more thrifty, have better appetites and make correspond ingly greater gains when supplied with rape pasture in conjunction with their grain feed than when fed on grain alone. 4. That a- plant of Dwarf Essex forage rape, when planted in drills 30 inches apart, early in May, will yield three good crops of pasture forage in a favorable season. 5. That rape is the most satisfac tory and cheapest green feed for swine that we have fed. 6. That every feeder of hogs should plant each spring a small field of rape adjoining his yard, and ..provide him self with a few rods of movable fence, to properly feed thc rape to brood sows and young pigs. 7. That rape should be sown for this purpose in drills 30 inches apart to facilitate the stirring of the ground and cultivation after each successive growth has been eaten off. 8. The hogs should not be turned upon a rape pasture until the plants are at least twelve to fourteen inches high, and that they should be pre vented from rooting while in the rape field. 9. That rape is not a satisfactory feed when fed alone, when it is de sired to have any live weigh gain made in hogs, though it has been found that they will just about main tain themselves without loss of weight on this feed alone.-Indiana Farmer. LACK OF SELF CONTROL. Health and Happiness a Matter of Our Will Power. It is lack of control that sends most of us into conditions of nervous whoops and hysterical fussbudgets. It is lack of control that causes us to speak harshly to the cook when calmer words would do twice as well. It is lack of control that makes us unjust, quick-tempered, uncharitable and vin dictive. It is lack of control that pro duces about nine-tenths of the head aches from which nervous women suf fer. You hear every day "I worry so, it makes me" ill," or "I am so ill most of the time, and'I just can't help worry ing." There you are. The sick mind brings the sick body. The sick body creates the sick mind. Remember that the hu man body has a telephone system. Whenever your mind gets into a tur moil the whole neighborhood of nerves knows all about it. The stomach sulks. Every part of the digestive apparatus takes a vacation. ^ There's one grand s tan d st j ?'jjirfTIl??lff^: i^xiy^^Jj?^^43:, -s? ves ^^^tTWm^^, y^?KFmst thing inJ?l}?smatter of con doi is to learnt*? breathe properly and to carry^oia-self properly. The next is how/fo dress properly, how to eat an^Kow to sl^ep. These are all in lim? with physical beautifying. The oUr?r course embraces mental beauti 'Tylng. We all should realize that every thing is ? matter of the mind. Observe the woman who is madly in love with her husband. Several years later she isn't. The man, no doubt, is the same as lie was when sshe loved him. And the change? It is simple. At first her mind saw only his splendidness, his virtues and goodness. After a time it discovered a few faults. She magni fied them. In doing this she lost sight of his virtues. His goodness and his faults were as she thought them. Ev erything was the product of her own brain-so far as she was concerned. She might just as weel have continued to have thought him adorable. Then Cupid wouldn't have been told to get another lodging place-poor dear. Exchange. Fortunes in Waiting. In spite of the enormous inroads made on this earth's great store of wealth, diamonds, gold, oil, gas, coal, iron and other materials, recent investigations have brought to light the interesting fact that treas ure fields containing fabulous wealth still remain intact. Investigations have proved, for in stance, that huge areas of the floor of the Pacific are strewn thick with immense deposits of nodules of pure manganese. Invent a practicable and economical method of recovering it, and the individual who does so will at once become rich beyond the dreams of avarice. The most crying need of today is a substitute for para rubber. It is cer tain to be discovered sooner or later. Malleable glass was manufactured and used by the Romans nearly two thousand years ago. But the secret has been lost. It. seems odd that no one in this age of mechanical progress has been able to rediscover the meth od of manufacturing a tough and un breakable glass. Whoever succeeds in doing so and making the discovery economically useful will reap a great reward. Real photography in colors is still an open field and olTers boundless op portunities for the inventor. In small er matters, too, the li?t of wants un. supplied is endless.

There was a wide range of tempera ture during the week ending 8 a. m. June 12th; from 99 at Florence on the 8th to a minimum of 49 at Greenville on the 10th, after which the tempera ture, rose slowly to about normal at the close of the week. The cool nights were damaging to cotton and tobacco. Fresh to brisk northeast winds prevail ed during the night of the 8th ani on the 9th, which in places, was somewhat detrimental. ? severe hail storm occur red in York county. Sunshine was in excess. With the exception of light showers in York and Greenwood counties and a trace of rain in places on the coast, the week was without rain, and in places there has been no rain in over two weeks. The ground has become baked and crusted in places, rendering them;, hard to cultivate, thus increasing the: diiffculty of ridding fields of grass and weeds.

Special.--As a result of an attack made upon Special Officer Eli Pittman bj' Newmen Burns and George Rigdon Sunday night at midnight, Burns is dead and the officer is painful ly wounded. The killing occurred' in the American Spinning Company's village, on tha Buncombe road, oppo site the Reuben Smith residence. Several men standing nearby rushed to the officer's aid and dragged Rig don off. Burns fell unconscious and died in 30 minutes. Drs. Wright and Earle were called and gave the officer's wounds attention. The wounds, while painful, are not dangerous. His upper lip was laid open and several gashes were cut across the back of the head'-' Officer Pittman is a regular deputized officer, and in attempting to arrest Burns and Rigdon the two men made a murderous assault upon him, Rig don seizing and holding the officer, while Burns slashed him with a knife about the head and face. The officer, by a superhuman effort, freed his right arm and seizing his pistol, fired three Shots at Burns, two of which to?k ef fect, one in the center of the throat, the other on the side of the neck, severing the juglar vein. Rigdon was lodged in jail and Officer Mttman. after his wounds were dressed, came to the city and sarreudered to the sheriff. The men cursed the officer and the at tack was un wan-anted, so the witnesses state. Rigdon Is known to be a bad character. Monument to General Boynton. Chattanooga, Tenn., Special.-At a meeting here it was decided that a handsome monument should be erected in honor of the late General Henry V. Boynton. The place for its location will be decided later. The monument will probably cost in tho neighborhood of $20,000 and subscriptions will be so licited from all parts of the country in order to make it national in scope. Street Cars Collide.

For tunately both cars were almost empty, '. 3 ' . About Tablecloths. Linen tablecloths keep white much better if instead of being washed with the other clothes they arc rubbed through, scalded and put into the sudsing water before other pieces. Linen irons more easily if well shak en free of wrinkles before being hung on thc line. An Excellent Washing Fiuid. The best and most harmless wash ing fluid can bc made as follows: 1 ball of potash, 1 oz. salts of artar, 1 oz. ammonia. Crush thc rosin off the potash, then take the ball and the salts of tartar and put in stone jar with 1 gal. of water. Let stand a day, then strain, and put in gallon jug with the ammonia, corking tightly. To use, add 1 spoonfu- to each bucket of water used in boiling clothes. This saves rubbing-A. S. in Indiana Farmer. When Sheets Wear Out. Sheets often get badly worn in the centre before they show any signs of wear at the sides. Careful house keepers often "turn" such sheets when, they arc made of double width goods, simply tear''them down thc centre, hem the edges with a narrow handkerchief hem and sew the outer selvages together. A carefully turned" sheet lasts more than twice as long as a sheet that is left to wear itself out as it was first made. It seems like folly, however, to "turn" towels and other similar articles, as over-particular housewives so often suggest. Except for the woman who has little else to do it is a waste of time. Flatirons. The flatirons must always bo per fectly clean, and it ls best to scour them each time they are used; by do ing it thus frequently they arc kept clean with very little work, while if neglected they aro constantly doing poor work, soiling the clean clothes, and a ?long scouring when they are cleaned. After they are washed and scoured each week, place on the stove -to dry thoroughly and then slip each one into a little bag made with draw strings for thc purpose, or, at least, slip each one into au empty paper bag to keep clean from dust till they are used again. A rag dipped in kero sene and salt is excellent for smooth ing the bottom of an iron; or sprinkle some salt between layers of waxed paper like that used for lining crack or boxes, which should be saved Xor the purpose.-American Cultivator.

And that is a charming feature of Spain-this fine capacity to imagine yourself the centre of the earth for the time being and yet not be offensive. You meet a man on a donkey in the interior and get to talking with him, and soon you learn that ho has the finest donkey of the province, and so (far from envying any man he it is who is satisfied that he is exciting the admiration if not the envy of his neighbors. If I met the same sort of an outfit in the mountains of Colorado or Nevada the cavalier would be sure to hold his burro in contempt, and would talk of the fine horse he meant to have when his mind had been de veloped. We Americans preach con tentment, but we despise the people who are contented. The true Spaniard is' thoroughly contented.-National ?asazlne. V WET EYESIGHT FAILS INFERIOR ARTIFICIAL LIGHT FRE QUENTLY THE CAUSE. Illuminant* of tho Vast, One and All, ITa.vo Serions Defects-Acetylene Ga?, With Its Clear, Unwavering, Yet Soft riama Cannot Hnrt the Byes. Nevi' York, June 20-No one can go into our schools or meet a group of children on the street without noticing how large a number of them wear ''spectacles. Tho proportion seems to increase yearly, and there are many more who ought to wear glasses. The experience of oue teacher might be du plicated by Hie score. She knew Alice was inattentive aud she thought she was unusually stupid. She said so to the principal and sent a note to the mother, requesting that the child bo helped at home if she wished her to keep lip with her class. One day after a blackboard explanation, the 1 cacher called upon the child and fouud that she had not seen what had been written. She was kept after school and by dint of much sympathetic ques tioning Miss C. found that Alice had never been able to seo what was put on tho board and that ber head had ached so often and so bard that she frequently failed to hear what was said. Such a condition may bo caused by lack of proper food, but in our Ameri can homes it is usually due to thc poor quality of tho artificial light. The yel low, insufficient light of tho ordinary kerosene lamp, with its smoky chim ney, is about as bad for the eyes'.is can be imagined. The flickering light from a coal gas jet is but little better, and even the electric light, brilliant as it usually is, has an unsteadiness due lo variations in power, and a .^nre j peculiarly trying to tho delicate nerves of sight. Tho comparatively new il luminant acetylene gas produces as nearly perfect an artificial light as has yet been found. It gives a clear white, unwavering light, very brilliant, yet perfectly soft, and so nearly like thc rays of the sun that oven* colors ap pear as in daylight. Fortunately, acetylene is very easily and cheaply produced, and the simple apparatus necessary can be purchased aud installed in any home at a very moderate cost, and thc acetylene can be piped lo convenient points in the house where a light is needed. It is then lighted and extinguished and used exactly like common city gas. Acetylene is rapidly coining Jnto common use in homes, churches, schools and institutions of all kinds, and it is reasonable to expect that as its uso in the homo increases, there will bo fewer defective eyes, particu larly among children. Poor eyesight and tko many ills resulting therefrom will undoubtedly be much reduced by the use of this new illuminant. SAVORY BUTTER. Savory butter is made by using some desired savory ingredient in fresh butter. You buy either the un salted butter or wash from the salt ed butter all the salt possible as when you are making some kinds of past?, and then you rub into it with a silver knife or spoon such essence or flavor ing as you like. Anchovy essence, Worcestershire sauce, onion juice, chopped Spanish peppsr or parsley, or any one of a hundred things.
