Shell Button and Spoons. |F; The acquisition of the Philippines 1L has begun to familiarize the American public with many of the odd wares and ' merchandise which are found in that' Bfev archipelago. No part of the world is richer in shells, especially of the pearl and mother-of-pearl variety, j For centuries there has been a steady flow of the latter to China, where they are used in enormous quantities for household decorations. Outside of these shells are others almost as useful. One variety. a ? conch, is cut through obliquely, and according to the angle |^- of the saw the resulting segment is a |?:- ?poon, a ladle, a saucer, plate, cup, or bowL After cutting they are cleaned and polished, making a handsome ' 5.-- object. It looks like colored porce- j lain, but Is far tougher and stronger. ' A shell spoon or bowl can be dropped Hnncor nf hrr?nlrir>t' and will i 1 Ij. withstand hot water and cold as well ^ as wood. |: Another variety of shell is employed for buttons. The turbinates are the ; < favorites. They range through a hun- ] tired colors and patterns, and take a < very high gloss. When cut by the na- 1 . tives, beauty of surface rather than of j' outline appears to be the main object, i' The most popular shape is oblong. !< , Next to this is an oval, and then follow j i such figures as the rounded triangle, 11 ??:; heart, lozenge, star, dumbbell, and tre- j 1 foil. These buttons are a miracle of . 1 cheapness. Six of them well mount- j i ? ed and supplied with eyelets are retail- < j|| ed in Manila for five cents. i I .

"The flight of birds has been studied from time out of mind without yielding the first syllable of its secret," said an enthusiast'c amateur naturalist of this city, "but it is not a whit more mysterious than the movement of fish in water. Their speed, their sudden leaps from fixed positions, their abrupt turns in less than their own length, the extraordinary inertia that enables rh^rt to swim against tremendous currents?these and a hundred and one vuier tilings have been tne despa;r of every investigator. We know that such miracles are performed in some manner by movements of the fins and tail, but in ninety-nine cases out of a hundred those organs are altogether too small to account for the apparent power they develop. In less time than it takes me to tell it a three inch gold fish ia a glas3 globe will upset every law of dynamics in the text book. It does things that are thoroughly imrvisible. While I was in Washington 3n my vacation last summer," continued the speaker, "a relative of mine who is a designer in the Bureau of Naval Construction told me that the department experts had made extensive studies of the movements of different fish, with a view to improving the hull lines of torpedo boats. What little data they had secured pfoved useless when applied to working mod?ls, showing conclusively that the real secret had eluded the observers. I liavc a good sized tank at home, in which I keep a number of small fish, ind at different times I have made joine curious observations, especially is regards their speed. One of the fish s a young fresh water trout, about ive inches long. On several occasions [ have watched it with a timing instrument while it was making plunges 'or flies on the surface o? the water. It would approach leisurely at not over six inches to the second, until about lalf a yard from its prey, and then eap straight for the mark like an sr ow from a bow. The intervening disance would be covered in approxinately one-tenth of a second.

Farmer* Should Keep Account*. If every farmer would keep accounts with his live stock and credit each animal with what it produces, charging against it all that it receives, there would be no difficulty in knowing which animals give a profit. The animals are, to a certain extent the customers of their owner, providing him a market on the farm for a large share of the grain* hay, straw, etc. It may take up more time to weigh foods and keep books on the farm, but when the farmer can compare the profits from each animal, and at all seasons of the year, he will be able to cull out the unprofitable stock, as well as better understand how to select for the best. An Excellent Hay for Stock. If you plant stock peas at the last plowing of corn they will keep weeds down and hold moisture for the corn. Thpv will also store nitrogen in the ! soil and thus feed the corn. Gather the corn and turn hogs on the peas. Hogs will fatten faster on peas than they will on corn, and you save your corn to sell, or feed to other stock. If the vines are turned under they make a splendid fertilizer. After wheat is harvested we stir the ground and drill in stock peas, wl^ich make excellent hay for stock. All stock relish it, and will leave corn to eat it. You can make your land richer each year, have fatter stock and more grain to sell. We know this by actual experience, having tried it for two years.?H. H. Higgs, in The Epitomist The Blanket for the Iforte. The blanket should be used whenever it is needed, for it is comfortable to the horse, saves feed, and if rightly used, is conducive to health. But it can be made the means of doing quite as much injury as its absence can possibly do under any circumstances. The horse can stand a pretty low temperature without suffering inconvenience. It is a mistake, therefore, to begin the use of the blanket too early or when the weather is warm. The temperature may seem uncomfortably, low to us. but may not be low enough to warrant the blanketing of the horse that Is.standing in the street. The result a hlonVat tffhon thp U1 ap^/I/ XU?)

Having finished setting roots and planting seed, we procured leaves from the woods and covered the beds about two inches deep. Then we inclosed each plot with a board fence, leaving a gateway for entrances. The posts were 2x6 inch scantling, set two feet deep and six and one-half feet above ground. The fence was made tight at the bottom to keep out woodchucks and chickens, using narrow boards above and leaving plenty of air spaces for free circulation of air, which is essential for good growth of ginseng. Posts were also set along the walks six and one-half feet above ground. At the top of the posts were nailed 1x4 in boards to support shade. Some growers use lath nailed together in square sections, and others lay poles across from fence to fence and cover with brush. We use sections six feet long and three feet wide made of strips three inches wjde and three eighths of an inch thick, and placed threefourths of an inch apart If for covering young seedlings, better leave only one-fourth of an inch space between the slats.?John Fraser, in New England Homestead. Market Value of Enftilage. Professor Phelps makes quite an elaborate computation as regards a fair market value of ensilage, from which he decides that it is worth about one-third to one-fourth the price, per ton of a good stock hay free from clover. He figures it in this way: There is about 480 pounds of water free or dry matter in a ton of ensilage and 1740 pounds in a ton of hay. but when thfe digestibility is calculated, there is 836 pounds of food elements digestible in the ton of silage, and about. 1000 pounds in the ton of hay, being near enough to call it one third of ihe food value. But we do not always compute the value to the dairyman by the* nutritive value if the professor does. The more succulent and easily digested silage when given as a part of the food ration will produce more milk ,tian one-third of its weight in hay. That is those who have tried it say that 30 pounds of ensilage a day with 10 pounds of hay will give better results than 20 pounds of hay. As those who have grown it for years say the coBt when in the silo is from $2.50 per ton with best machinery up to $3.50 when much hand labor is used, we think it is profitable for the farmer to put up his ensilage.?The Cultivator. An Enemy of the Squash. The large squash bug is very destructive, and as it lives by sucking the juices from the plant it cannot be destroyed by any poisonous application. It must be circumvented by some obstructive method. The best the writer has yet found is the BorvMiviiiwA ptm?o xr T f r? rl f a UCaUA miAtUiC a;. aua^i uo tv the stem of the plant so tenaciously that a single spraying is sufficient. But the fight is still on, even when the vines have begun to cover the ground and the fruit has begun to develop. Not far from August 1 the squash borer begins its deadly work. Its presence is surely detected by the drooping foliage, and on close inspection by a small hole where it has entered th6 vine, always near its root. Once within, it bores its way through the pith, sometimes for a distance of several feet, from its point of entrance. When matured it is about one inch in length. It is the larva of a moth that deposits its eggs near the growing plant At planting time a handful of -! ground tobacco stems or one or more ) whole stems in each hill will assist in j warding off the moth by its pungent, j offensive odor. It is, too, an excellent ; fertilizer, j A still more effective remedy is g found to be bi-sulphide of carbon. A 1 few drops inserted in the soil of each hill and near the plants has in many I trials proved a sufficient protection. The process is simple and inexpensive. I Puncture the soil with a small, blunt dibble to the depth of one inch, put in a few drops of the chemical, cover quickly and the remedy is applied. Tnis should be done before the borer is observed. It is an extremely vola- ' tile fluid; also highly diffusive and very destructive to all inject life; tt has, too, a very unpleasant odor, and j the moth seems to recognize its dangerous qualities, or, if its eggs are deposited, they perish during incubation. ?L. P. Chamberlain, in Connecticut Parmer. Fattening Fno?l for Sheep. This term fattening should be . dropped. We don't fatten now, we feed the sheep for market. And in good I feeding the sheep will take on as much at as may be needed to make the flesh succulent. Even now mutton eat?.rs complain of the excess of fat, which is a waste of good food, and no one wants it. Feeding on the ordinary rations of alfalfa or clover hay, with a pint of corn a day, is sufficient for a lamb; for a two year-old or older sheep this ration may be increased to twice the allowance of corn, with as much alfalfa or clover hay as will be eate without waste. Over feeding to fatten an animal will put the fat on the intestines or about the kidneys, where it is a waste. The fat should be intimately mixed with the lean meat, and to do this fattening ^must be a part of the growth. This, necessarily, cannot be made in a few days,"and thus the practice of feeding lambs all through the winter, slowly gaining gocd flesh, will be more judicious and effective than to feed highly for a few days or weeks with grain food. All the successful experimental feeding tests have been made during some months, nine or twelve in the most successful and standard trials, and we cannot expect to gain similar proportionate results with a few weeks excessive feeding, the results of which may be to make fat where it is not wanted, and so throw away the money 6pent. The practice is coming into general use now for the shepherd to feed his own lambs, and the intermediate feeder for market is not being so much encouraged as he was when the owner of the sheep had not an easy opportunity to do the feeding for himself. But every sheep man should know how to feed for himself, and now that rape and alfalfa are coming into general use, it is a very easy matter to bring the lambs up to the condition when the finishing may be done with cheap grain screenings and some corn.? American Sheep Breeder. Ill Balanced Fertilizers. An ill balanced or incomplete fertilizer is one which does not supply all three elements of plant food?phosphoric acid, nitrogen and potash. Sometimes a material may furnish one or even two of the essential ingredients, but if all three are not present the mixture may be regarded as incomplete, and what the plant fails to find in the fertilizer it must look for in the soil, with the result that if the soil does not contain it the crop has to suffer accordingly. On the other hand, if the ingredient which is missing in the fertilizer Is present in the soil it will gradually become exhausted through continued cropping, and the yield naturally falls off in proportion. It is an established fact in fertilizing that one element of plant food cannot replace another. Each has its special function to perform. To illustrate: If there is enough phosphoric acid and nitrogen in the soil to produce a 200-bushel crop of Irish potatoes, and only enough potash to make j a 100-bushel crop, the yield would not j go above the latter figure. The ele- j ment present in the smallest propor- J tion is wnat reguiaies tne extent the yield. In other words, we meet, in feeding plants, the old maxim, "A chain is not stronger than its weakest link." From what has been said it can be seen that at once that it is both wise and economical to feed crops like animals. No one would think of giving a horse or cow a one sided food and expect to get a full day's work from it Every hard working animal must have proper food and plenty of it. As said before, the three ingredients to make up a complete food for plants are phosphoric acid, nitrogen and potash. Manufacturers embody all three in their mixtures, and the proportions vary to suit the crops, some requiring more of one than another. The principal point to bear in mind is that one sided fertilizaton seldom, if ever, pays in the long run. It is much easier to keep up the fertility of soils by using what is needed annually to meet the demands of the growing crop than to build up land which has become run down or exhausted.?George K. Wilson, in Fruit Growers' Journal. Bogus Heads of Jncas. If any stranger offers to sell you uncanny-looking objects and tells you that they are heads of Incas, who were great warriors long ago, says the New York Journal, beware of him and hand not over your good dollars, for the chances are a thousand to one that the man is an impostor and that the socalled heads are really the product of some factory. Genuine mummified heads of Incas there are, but they are rare and costly. The warlike Incas, it appears, were accustomed to suspend from their sad dies the heads of their conquered enemies, but before doing so they subjecter them to a certain process with the object of rendering them as light as possible. First, the bones of the skull were removed, after which the head was soaked in a certain hot liquid, the result being that finally there remained nothing but a very small yet wonderfully lifelike countenance, of leathern consistency and of merely nominal weight A few such heads may be found in Ecuador. How old these heads are no one knows, but many centuries have certainly passed away since their owners flourished. The price of such a curiosity varies from $250 to $1000. The demand, however, has always been greater than the supply, and this fact recently emboldened some enterprising but unscrupulous gentlemen in Ecuador to open a factory for the purpose of supplying enthusiastic collectors with all the mummified heads that they might need.

Napoleon S apped Josephine's Face Be* cause She Cut It For $2,000 has been sold in Paris a piece of lace which was the cause of a quarrel between Napoleon and Josephine in which the cheeks of the empress were slapped. It had been the property of Mile. Perusset, daughter of a favorite maid of the flighty empress. Napoleon had brought the lace from Italy. He often brought her beautiful things on his return from a successful campaign, and Josephine never asked him how he had got them, for she thought that perhaps he would not care to tell. It was a large square of the finest old point de veniso, and Josephine as soon as she had it in her possession sent for M. Duplan, her man milliner, and asked him to make with it a certain fichu and a peplum. "Impossible, your majesty," answered Duplan. "The piece Is too large, and we could not arrange It gracefully." "Well, cut it then!" "Cut a treasure such as that! Oh, madam, I could not do such a thing." "Nonsense!" cried Josephine. The lace was draped on her shoulders. She knew how she wanted It. So she calmly took a pair of scissors and in a second had it set right, while long, narrow pieces of the priceless stuff fell round her. At this moment the emperor entered the room. "Cannibal!" he cried. And he gave her a sounding slap on her violently rouged cheeks, which were soon covered with tears. Duplan discreetly withdrew, and the lace was thrown Into a chest of drawers. Josephine could not bear the sight of It after that and at last gave it to Mme. Perusset, her favorite maid. The odd bits of it have now been sold for $2,000. Another biinch fetched $?,000. The passion of Josephine for lace caused frequent scenes between her and Napoleon. She would have lace, and she seldom let anything stand in the way of acquring it. It is even said that this frivolous fancy helped to bring about her downfall, for Napoleon, who at first would not hear of forsaking her, one day said to the Prince de Wagram: "The cup is full now, prince. What do you think Josephine did lately? 'Nobbled' one of my young generals and made him pass lace for her in his top boots through my own frontier! Her soul is made of lace, prince, and that is too fragile a stuff for an empress's soul!"
