Before long it will be time to get .
the tomato plants out in the field.
When transplanting them remember j
they should be set firmly up to the
seed-leaves for new roots are thrown ;
out from the stem, and this affords a j
full amount of feeding surface for j
the plant. Set them where the soil
is good but not too rich. ?To have
plants healthy and to give them j
plenty of room, they should be set
about four feet each way.

Feeding Sitting Hen*.
One of the reasons why it is hard i
to make hens sit regularly in winter j
? " is fonnd in feeding them too often. j
I: A hen called off* from her nest th.ee
or four times a day is likely to make |
some ventures of her own to get food >
or drink. Until tho hen is thorough- j
ly set on sitting, she should be fed i
only once a day, and that early in the
morning. If it is in a close room,
^ where she caunot get out, the hen
rill go back to the nest again and sit
I contentedly, fche takes no exercise
and needs only food enough to sustain
life and heat
Keeping Chimney# Ciena.
After a winter's supply of wood or j
coal has been burned, much of it
while rain or snow is drifting down f
the chimney, it is sure to be foul with j
soot, and any extra hot fire, especially
with wood, will send sparks up that
will set the soot afire and endanger '
tho house. It is a good plan to poke
a broom or brush with very long ban- i
die up and down the chimney to clear j.
away tfie soot. If this is done and
the soot is removed from below there
; will be little danger of its doing any
damage. The chimney ought to be
made smooth inside, so that tho soot
m will not be caught by roughness as the j
smoke goes up. A chimney afire is a
serious danger, especially when the
hot fire that causes it is made just before
the family retire for the night.
Coal fires are less dangerous thau
. those from light wood, which make a
bright flame and send up many
g- aparxs.
C?lre* for Ve?I.
Allow the calves to suck the cow
moderately the'tint week, gradually
v-increasing the amount until the fonrch
or fiith week when they are ready
for market. For home use, they are
preferred hot more than six weeks
old. The stables should be kept
clean and well ventilated and "the
calves should not be allowed to eat
the dirty litter. Give them a- little
clean hay to pick at.
A contagious diarrhara sometimes
breaks out. Bemove the calves irn- j
mediately to clean quarters, separating
the sick from the well ones.
Thoroughly disinfect the old quarters
& . and do not occupy them with calves
for a considerable time.
& , Farmers wbo are selling milk, cream
- or butter rarely fatten calves in this i
section, except they may have a par|pr
? ticularly hard milker, bnt sell the
calves quite young to others who
make a business of fattening them for
market and as they are turned off renewing
the supply from neighboring
farms. Where the conditions are not
^ favorable for the delivery of the milk
on cream or manufacture of butter, the
?.fattening of veal calves often pays as
well as other forms of dairying.?

ntinr and Cultivation of Corn.
cultivation of corn should beb
the plowing of the ground,
st depth to plow will depend
ler on the kind of soil and the
condition of the held. Many fields
cannot be plowed ne same aepm
throughout the whole length. Often
I' one end or the other of the field, or
0 < probably the middle, is low. Then
the side of the hill may be qnite steep,
with most of the surface soil washed
Br \ off. Low places and these washed
hillsides should not be plowed more
than four inches deep. Give such
spots a good dressing of manure before
harrowing; Another point in
this section is to avoid plowing when
the ground is too wet
r On level and moderately dry land,
plow to a depth of eight inches. The
ground will then hold more moisture
and the corn sqffer less from drouth.
It southern farmers would plow their
ground in the fall and seed to rye, the
roots of the growing rye would prevent
washing and would catch and
hold 'the fertility which otherwise
would leach'through the soil. In the
spring it will only be necessary to
plow to a depth of two or three inches.
Begin harrowing as soon as the ground
A will permit, going once each way bemgf
fore planting, or as many times as is
necessary to pulverize the seed bed.
The distance between the rows of
oorn and the thickness of planting depend
entirely upon the quality of the
land, and every farmer must be his
own judge. In some southern localities
one stock every six feet in
rows four feet apart is sufficient
When the land is rich more ean be
planted.
As soon as the corn is planted, the
ground should be harrowed again, and
*
ordinarily the fields slionld receive
another harrowiug just before the
corn comes to the surface. The crop
will not be injured. When the rows
can be seen across the field, go over
with a weed or or an A harrow. Cultivate
one each way in this manner,then
use an ordinary corn cultivator, going
over the field not more than three
times with this implement Jn very
dry seasons, twice is sufficient. Much
corn is ruined by deep aud close cul- ,
tivation, for if the roots are once di3- '
turbed, the crop will never fully re- ^
cover. After the last cultivation, I go j t
through the field once each way with ]
a small one-horse barrow, which runs t
between the rows. If the season has '
been at all favorable, the crop will [
need no further attention. When the

Th* Gout Dairy. <
The usefulness of the goat in clear- 1
ing foul lands and the profitableness
of the animal for its hair, skiu and
even carca-s, is becoming pretty well j
understood. But the goat is valuable
as a dairy animal. If the cows, for
instauce, are being used for supplying
a city milk trade, the keepiug of
goats for the home rnitk supply would
be an excellent policy. The goat will
live where a cow would s'nrve; an.I
while it, like eve-y other domestic
animal, will do best on good pasture,
it will live and yield milk orrastonishiugly
little food. The animal and its
'milk are almost entirely exempt from
disease; the milk is more nutritious
than that of the cow and agrees with
stomachs that cow's milk frepiently
offeuds. The animal requires only
the cheapest kind of shelter; but it
needs shelter from the storms and in
win tor. If by reason of drontb, soilin
; is necessary, leaves, vegetable reluse,
peelings of the apple or potato,
bread crnsts or stale bread, if they are
sweet and clean, will be all the feed
that is needed. All goats, however,
will not eat the same food, and the
feeder will have to study the appetites
of the individual animal Frequent
feeding and a Variety of food, in winter,
will be found leneflcial. Boots,,

From three to four pints a clay is the

Short and Useful Paragraph*.
It is not the hog's fault that it has i
a reputation for lilthiness. | >
Lice in the hen's nest is depriving \
many farmers of quite a few eggs.
Fowls as well as all animals do better
on mixed feed. It affords a va- !
riety.*
It is a pretty hard matter to trim a
grape vine too close if you do it before ]
the sap runs.
During shearing time keep the old i aud
the young ones apart, so that the 1
ticks cannot migrate to the lambs.
In purchasing fertilizers for early
market garden stuff, remember that it <
is a quick acting fertilizer that yon <
are after. i
A good preventive of milk fever is 1
to have the cows calve in the fall or J
winter when the feed does not have so <
great a tendency to make milk. 1
Owing to the increasing importance
of the sheep industry, it wonld be
well for farmers to look into the matter
and study up the "ins and onts."
Milk contains about 87 per cent of ^
water. If the water the cows drink is
bad about 87 } er cent, of the milk 1
that you are using is not what it 1
ought to be. j
Formers, don't ignore the ducks. (
With a fair overage of eggs laid dur- ^
ing the year, if you did not eat or sell
them, bnt set them and hatched out |-!
50 per cent, of the eggs, it would be
an excellent investment.
Milk fever generally occurs among
the best milkers. Look out for such
cows. After a cow has helped fill
your pocketbook for eight or nine
months, surely a little attention for
only a month or so is not out of the
way.
"Johnny, get your gun" is generally
the word every time a bam owl or
some such bird is seen around the
farm. This is an awful mistake. It
would be pretty hard to get a mouse
or rat-trap that could beat this bird at
catching these pests.
The Cftnie of Salt Lakes.
* The Great Salt lake is very shallow
but extensive sheet of water on
the Burfaco of a desert plain. Surrounding
it in part are mou tain
rauges, themselves barren and desolate.
The lake is nestled in the bottom
of a true basiu without outlet, a
part of the Great^ Basin. So slight ?
is the rainfall that the basin cauuot |
fill and oversow to the sea. 1 he rain
water evaporates in the dry air, and
the streams that flow down from the
mountains suffered the same fate even
before the Mormons came to spread j
their waters out over the land to transform
it from desert to garden.
Each stream on the land gathers a
little salt on -its journey, and since
this cannot evaporate as the water j
does, it remains behind. From the
mountains and from the light rains
of the desert enough water is supplied
to transform a part of the plain
to a lake, but in the dry air the evap- ^
oration is so great that only a small 1
part of the supply remains to form the ^
lake. Thus little by little the lake
water receives its supply of salt, and
therefore becomes salter and Salter.? .

Varions Methods.
Sometimes the tired editor becomes
sardonically humorous when answering
the questions of an investigating i
correspondent "What should a lady ' <
do when she wants to sneeze in /
church?" was the query recently ad- (
dressed by a feminine reader to the
editor of a local paper. He answered
it thus: "It depends upon why the
lady wants to tneeze in church. If
she is young and pretty and desires '
to attract the attention of some eligible
young man, the sneeze should be
gentle and distinctive; almost anything
would produce the irritation of
the facial organ necessary to effect the
purpose. But if the lady is old, oc- 1
cupies her own pew, an? wishes to 1
show off her new bonnet, then a violent
sneeze?or a succession of sneezes
?is necessary, and we should advise '
upsetting an ounce of cayenne pepper ;
in the pew."?Waverley Magazine.

? Old Stage Effects. ^
We are apt to consider that stage of*'
fects are an invention of the present
rentnry. This may be so in some cases,
but many of them are very old. The
lime-light is probably the most valuable
accessory for modern stage effects.
It was introduced some time around
1S37 or l&iS, and was regarded as a
great curiosity. Its expense, however,
prevented its being used to litiy extent
for a long period. In 14S0, intricate
machinery was regularly used in religions
plays for the simulation of various
natural phenomena. Earthquakes
always seem to have been the most
pleasing and taking of effects, and we
hear of them as far back as 1692, when
Evelyn refers to a puppet show in
which an earthquake effect was used.
The old paper snow for winter effects
was largely abandoned, and in France
waste clippings of glove manufacturers
are used instead. The white glove
clippings fall better In the air than
small pieces of paper, and they sling
better to the scenery and to the actor's
garments as they descend. The ordinary
nautical effects are of considerable
antiquity. Full-rigged ships wero

A Topsy-Tnrvy House.
One of the oddest sights of the Paris
Exposition will be the "Manoir a l'Enrers,"
or the topsy-turvy house. The
suggestion of this unique house of mystery
first came from a Russian engileer
named Kotln. This extraordinary
milding will represent a feudal mandon
turned upside down, the roof portion
forming actually the foundation,
ind vice versa. The visitor will step
n up through the roof, and after going
tp stairs several times will come flown
to the cellar, which will be fitted up
ts a roof garden. There will even be a
terraced garden in connection with the
topsy-turvy bous*. hanging, of course,
jpside down in mid-air. Every apartment
in the house will be sumptuousy
furnished, and tb? topsy-turveydom
ivill extend even to the furniture. The
perplexed visitor, for instance, will see
i cook making some delicious smelling
ioup, though both chef and saucepan
ippear upside down. The bathroom
ins a bath full of water upside down, i
?nd the drawing room has a piano and
i performer playing the latest tunes
>f the Folies Bergerc also upside down.
This illusion of the Interior Is proiuced
by an ingenious arrangement of
mirrors. This topsy turvy house after
he Paris Exposition will be reproluced
at Chicago and Coney Island
ind the Buffalo Expocition.

' To Make Good CoflVe.
The latest word of those who know
is that, to be perfec", coffee must
never, while it is making, come in
contact with any metal, For the
breakfast table, at least, it should be
made in glass. First, ba y from a depot
of medical suppli s a flask of annealed
glass which looks l.ke ai ordinary'
water bottle. The price, 30 cent?, is
no great outlay considering the bottle
will stand boiling water without
breaking. Then tive cents for a glass
funnel to flt into the bottle neck and
leu cents for a dozen rouu 1 bits of
clean, coarse muslin. Coffee itself is
the next thing. It is real Java, bought
green of a dealer who has regard for
his work, at 50 to 60 cents the pound.
It is roasted to a nicety at home, half
a pound at a time, and grouud just as
it is wanted. It may go into a chased
si?ver-lidded I owl without the least
harm. The water may likowise boil
in a silver kettle, over a brass-mounted
spirit lamp?or even on the plebian
gas stove?before it comes ia sight
The oue essential thing is to have it
in plenty and freshly boiling. First
pour a cup of the boiling water into
the flask aud turn it deftly about,
heating the flask all the way up. Then
pour it out, whip the funnel into the
flask month, line the funnel with one
of the muslin rounds aud fmt into it
three heaping teaspooofuls of the
coffee. Tbeu slowly, steadily, gracefully
pour on the water, which has
been kept bubbling over me spirit
lamp. As it begius to drip through
stir the wet coffee lightly with a teaspoon.
More water goes in as the
first pouring filters through. Three
spoonfuls of dry coffee ought to yield
three cups of coffee essence. It is
really coffee esseuce which comes out
of the fiask. It is almost black, perfectly
clear, full of cotiee flavor and
aroma. Only the most confirmed
coffee toper can drink it neat. Other
folk require the cup to be half filled
with boiling water. Those who like
whipped cream in it make the water a
third. Thus a single filtering will ,
serve a conside able tea party. The
muslin and the spent grounds are
thrown away after each filtering.?

but their efficiency falls beloW that of

have udt feaclied the same plane of
civiliatloh, their wants are fewer and
more easily supplied, and after a term
of service they usually wish to return
to their homes for a long period of idleness;
so it has been found necessary to
supplement them by the importation
of thousands of Indian coolies. Still,
they are by far the largest element In

nil the labor in the diamond mines is
supplied by the natives, and they are

They ore prisoners as long as they
work in the diamond mines, for one of
the rigorous measures taken to prevent
diamond stealing is to keep the native
laborers in a compound from which
they never emerge during their term of
service, except to march, under escort,
to and from their work. But the South

their value as a factor in the development

considered one of the foremost Jurists
on the coast, is, at the same time, one

agone he was appointed by the President
to the bench of the district that
includes Pima and Cochise counties.
He found, on coming to Tucson, that
formality was almost unknown in the
courtroom. If the days were warm
the attorneys and attendants dispensed
with coats. This, to him, appeared
particularly disrespectful. He announced
that smoking in the courtroom
would not be tolerated, and that
coats must be worn under pain of the
court's displeasure. The Grand Jury
was called. Among the jurymen was
a brawny miner, who appeared in his
usual costume, a dark blue shirt and
overalls.
"What do you mean?" thundered themagistrate,
"by appearing in this court-,
room in your shirt sleeves! Where is
your coat?" "At home, judge," mildly
returned the juror. "Then go and get
it No, not a word, sir!" glaring down
upon the man as he attempted to
speak. "Go home and get your coat
or I'll commit you fojr contempt!" The

hollers he opens his big mouth like
frogs, but girls hold their toung til
they are spoken to, and then they answer

he can wade where the water la

ON THE CARE OP BABIES.
Ssffettlcsi by a Merc Maa flat Mother's
Shfldld Heal
So many conflicting rules have been
printed about the cart of babies, that
something ought to bt done at oflce to
set mothers oh the right track. Obtain
first a normal healthy baby. Go
to a first-class department store, If
other Avenues fail. Diet with a baby
is the main thing. For breakfast, say
a few griddle cakes with a couple of
hard-boiled eggs. For luncheon, any
meat and tegetable irith apple dumplings,
and a rousing cup of coffee to
top off with. For diuner?always give
the baby his heaviest meal just before
retiring?a thick soup, a fish, an entree,
a roast and a cold bottle, and any
good wholesome dessert, say deep dish
apple pie.
Should the baby be restless In the
night, don't take him tip. This Is the
mistake made so often by erring
mothers, who think they know It all.
Science knows better. He cannot cry
too much. Should he make too much
noise and keep the househpld awake,
tie a towel over hlg face and lock him
up in a distant room. Above all things
never give-ins Few
people understand how to give
the baby his bath?which is really
quite simple, Fill the tub with water,
and always "nse a bath thermometer.
If after ten ^minutes' immersion, the
thermometer registers below aero, you
may then know that the water is a
trifle too cold. Great care should be
taken not to let the baby take cold,
so the bath should be given as rapidly
as possible. Strip the baby and take
him by the heels and souse him in
head first, then swing him back and
forth through the water ten or fifteen
times, slapping him vigorously to insure
a good circulation. Lay him on
the floor and rub him vigorously with a
tin nutmeg grater, ana tnen pui umi
to bed In a warm room, with a buffalo
robe over bim and about two additional
feet of California blankets.
When this is done, leave him to rest
for twenty-four hours.
He will need the rest?Tom Mason,
In Life.
Where An 1?
The following grotesque narrative Is
found In a collection of Chinese temperance
tales:
A stupid yamen underling "Was once
taking a rascally Buddhist monk to
prison. As he started with his prisoner
he was afraid of forgetting his
things and bis errand so he began
mumbling, "Bundle, umbrella, canguc
- 1? it i
(yoke), warrant, mona ana myrcu.
At every two or three steps he repeated
the list. The monk, seeing the sort
of man he had to deal with treated him
at an inn until he was so drunk that
he wanted to sit down by the wayside
and sleep. ..
When he. was fast asleep the monk
took off his cangue. shaved the man's
head, put the wooden collar on him,
and took to his heels.
On recovering his sense the man exclaimed,
"Let me wait until I have
counted everything. Let me see. Bundle
and umbrella are here." Then
feeling his neck he cried, "And the
cangue, too; and here beside me is the
warrant." Then, half scared, "Ilafya!
I don't see the monk, but," rubbing
his Itching pate, he gleefnliy added:
"The monk Is still here, but where am
I? Bundle, umbrella, cangue, warrant,
monk. But where am I? Bundle, umfrrelln?!"
