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- <

CREAT STRENGTH OF FISH.
Their Remarkable Ability Remains the
Despair of All Scientists.
"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

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

the hull lines of torpedo boats. What

showing conclusively that the real

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

weather is only moderately cold, is
pretty apt to be more or less perspiration,
and when the blanket is removed,
in such case, the horse is very liable
to contract catarrh and possibly inflamation
of the lungs.
rrotectinc Ginseng Seed* aud Plant*.
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.

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.

A BIT OF LACE.
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!"
