An Independence Day Frolic.
At a Fourth of July picnic wore
passed around to the company wooden
plates of generous dinner-plate size.
On these were pasted various oddshaped
pieces of red, white and blue
paper. These, it was explained, were
intended to represent in their general
outline the maps of the thirteen original
States (as they now appear), and
with them, to avoid the unlucky number,
was also the map of Cuba. At the
top of each, instead of its name, was
Hp
"John Henry," said Mrs. Bainbridge
to her eldest son, on the morning of
the Fourth, "you must stay at home
to-day and rock the cradle."

The advantage of plowing pease, I
clover and other nitrogenous plants
under is that nitrogen is added to the
soil because such plants are "nitrogen
gatherers." When oats, rye, or buck- i
wheat are turned under there is no j
gain in nitrogen though such plants j
assist in forming humus.
i
A Way to Get Kill of Potato Bn??,
A good way to get rid of the potato j
bugs that are so troublesome and do ;
so much damage each year is to take |
about a pound of what is known as i
"trash" tobacco and about four pounds j
of cedar twigs. Place these in a large j
kettle and pour on about 10 gallons of j
water into which about a quarter of a I
pound of lye soap has been dissolved,
and let the whole business boil for 20
minutes or so. When this is cool it
may be sprinkled on the vines with a
broom or small brush as often as required.
It would be a good idea at
first to apply it every other day.
To Avoid Soft Shell Eggs.
Study your hens, keep them warm in i
winter and cool in summer, and above j
all have no filth or lice. Do not buy
hens from a flock that has at any time
been afflicted with this disease. Always
separate the layers from the
non-layers if it can be done. The laying
hens will have larger and redder
combs than the others, but a hen that
wants to lay and is too fat also has
a red comb.
Soft-shelled or misshapen eggs are
a sure indication that the hens are too
fat. The fat has crowded the repro- j
ductive organs out of proper shape,
hence the misshapen eggs. Not feeding
enough bone or shell making material
is the cause of soft-shelled eggs.
Make your hens hunt for their feed
and you will have no trouble in this
respect.
Cattle and Water.
It is not at all unusual to see cattle :
pastured in a field in which the only 1
water-supply is a small, stagnant pond j
or two, covered with green scum, and j
filled with animalculae and water in- !
sects; and to see other cattle watered I
from barrels that have collected the j
rain water from the roofs of the barns !
and outbuildings, and which frequently
swarm with larvae of the mosquito,
besides being impure and stagnant;
to see cattle driven quite a distance
only once a day for water when if at
that time some of .them do not feel j
like drinking they must endure their
thirst another 24 hours.
Water plays one of the most important
parts In the make up of every
living being. . Life can be sustained
quite a time on water alone. How important
it is then to see that the cows
whose milk we drink and whose flesh
we eat have their water fresh and pure
instead of being contaminated by the
absorption of that which is impure.?
The Epitomist.
Cabbages as a Profitable Crop.
The cabbage crop can be made a
profitable one on the farm, as all heads
not sold in market may be used as
green food in winter for cattle, sheep,
swine and poultry. Beginning with
the early varieties, and following with
intermediate and late kinds, one crop
may mature after another, while the
ground from which the early heads
are sold may be planted to turnips.
It is possible to have cabbage nearly
all the year round by proper methods
of growing and storage. The very early
heads are grown in cold frames.
Cabbages thrive on rich soil that has
been heavily manured, and as the
crop is one that draws largely on the
soil, and the plants are also gross
feeders, there is no risk of giving too
much manure. It is a crop that thrives
with frequent hoeing or cultivation,
every working of the soil seeming to
benefit the plants. To make them
start off in growth rapidly scatter a
tablespoonful of nitrate of soda around
each plant and hoe it into the soil.
A little later, just as the plants are
beginning to head, repeat the applica
Hon of nitrate of soda.
Feeding; Value of Buttermilk.
A reader asks information regarding
the feeding of buttermilk. In its
simplest terms the answer is that buttermilk
and skim milk which has been
allowed to sour some arc the same.
Cream is merely milk with an additional
proportion of butter fat. After
this butter fat has been churned out,
the remainder is simply skim milk.
Skim milk and buttermilk both vary
in amount of butter fat retained, and
the amount o? acid fermentation somewhat
controls the feeding value.
Because buttermilk has some acidity
ic is not recommended for very young
animals, sweet skimmilk being preferable,
but the Massachusetts experiment
station, the only station which
has tested it, reports practically equal
lesults in feeding pigs with skim milk
and buttermilk and this is corroborated
by the experience of farmers.
The same is true in regard to poultry,
while in regard to human food,
the stomach often takes kindly to buttermilk
when other forms of milk
cause trouble. This is doubtless due
to the beneficial effects of the fermentation,
many invalids certifying that
buttermilk '"will almost grow a new
liver." Both skimmilk and buttermilk
can profitably enter the human dietary
to a far greater extent than is
now common. Major Alvord has very
strongly recommended an increased
use of skimmilk in cookery, and has
published articles to that end, and
as skimmilk and buttermilk are identical
in composition, the same holds
true with both, remembering that buttermilk
is usually a slightly fermented
form of skimmilk. Dairy buttermilk
is generally richer than creamery buttermilk,
and for two reasons: The
small dairy churn does not churn out |
the fat so extensively, and it is a general
creamery practice to wash thdi
granulated butter and run the wash
water into the buttermilk tank, thereby
diluting it.?American Agrculturist.
Utilizing Space in tlie Barn Loft.
There are too many barns with unused
space overhead. Generally the
space over the barn floor is open from
the floor to the roof. Sometimes there
is a small scaffold overhead at each
end of the barn floor that usually
holds a load or two, with the great
central space open to the roof.
This is the way we used to have our
barn, but now we have it arranged so
the entire overhead is in use eight feet
above the floor and stables. Along in
front of the horse stables, we had a
strong girt framed in, eight feet j
above the threshing floor. This was !
done when the barn was first built. |
Then, after a few years, we were short j
of storage room, and we framed in j
some temporary girts on the opposite j
side of the barn floor to coresnond '
-
fa lieight with those on the horse ste
ble side. These are light and strong
and can be easily taken out and lai
to cnc- side. Then we have light joist
reaching across the barn floor, wit
ends lesring on thsse gins.
All this arrangement can he take
out in a short tinif and laid to on^ sid
out 01' the way. A Hour is laid ?>n th
joists to within a few feet of the bar
door in which we draw hay. The tear
can go under the floor until the loa
strikes the upper floor, and then w
shift our bay fork so that we can un
load and fill nearly all the space ove
the barn floor full. We feed from thi
first, and by the time cornstalks ar
ready to draw, the hay in the othe
mows will have settled so they wi!
hold all that is left over the bar
floor i^avine the entire SDace for ou
corn fodder, or any other stuff we wis
to put up there. As we don't sell ha
it is not otten necessary to take 01
this floor, but it remains there yea
after year. It not only makes mor
room, but makes the barn and stable
much warmer. It is easily reached b
a short ladder.
This space can also be filled wit
nice dry straw for bedding, but we pre
for to stack our straw close to tfc
Leek barn door, where it is easil
reached, and live stock can run aroun
it. We can get all the bedding w
want very easily, and then it is hand
to cut and throw the stack down fc
the live stock to work into manure. .
barn is larger than it looks when a
the space is occupied, and a littl
thought along these lines may sav
building more barn room. I know
was surprised when I came to fill th
unoccupied space upon our barn floo:

Intensive Orchard Cultivation.
There is more need of intensiv
methods of orchard cultivation tha
ever, for if there is anything tha
modern experience teaches it is tha
fine fruit raised in abundance pay
exceedingly well, while ordinary frui
either in small quantity or in abunc
aL-ce, hardly returns profit enough t
represent interest on the investmen
A great many people go into orcharc
ing with the idea that they know j
all; but after they have tried it for
few years they drop it as unprofitable
or wisely learn that they knew nes
to nothing about the industry.
There is located near me an orchar
which pays the owner a handsome ir
come. It occupies 50 acres of land th?
has been brought to the highest stai
of fertility through persistent wor
for 10 years. Every acre of that lan
is capable of making any fruit tre
or vine produce their best. Throug
careful selective methods the owne
has obtained the trees and vine
which he considers do the best in hi
locality, and the fruit of which has
high market value. Every variety pre
duces the finest fruits?grapes, pear:
apples, peaches and small fruits. E>
ery modern scientific method of cu
ture, protection and stimulation of tb
plants and trees has been experimeni
ed with, and after careful tests thos
found satisfactory adopted.
This orchard never fails to produc
excellent fruit. So constantly doe
this happen year after year that tb
man's reputation for the finest fru
shipments has extended to all market
within 100 miles. There are off see
sons when the fruit is poorer than i
other years, and when the crop j
small; but during years when othei
cannot sell their fruits because of poc
quality and glutted markets, thi
neighbor of mine has orders for h:
products at satisfactory prices. Ii
deed, the commission men seek hi]
out and try to induce him to sell; bi
he has learned to value his producl
at their true worth, and no specuh
tor can hope to come and buy him 01
unless the cash is handed over firs
For five years now he has average
from 10 to 20 percent more for hi
fancy fruits than the average mark<
price paid.
His secret is not a difficult one. H
has made intensive culture his aim i
life, and he has developed his orchar
to its utmost limts. In his early e)
forts he found his trees yielding poc
fruit. Time and again he was d(
ceived by the recommendation of otl
ers in regard to varieties of vines an
trees, and he had to cut out poor an
inferior varieties. This severe met!
od in time helped, for it enabled nil
to establish a fine orchard of tree
and plants that he personally knew a
about It is the old story of ma
learning for himself, but nersistin
through failure and discouragemen
always having faith in the future. H
believed some day he would make th
business pay. Today he does, and h
is such a master of the whole industr
that he is sure of his income.?S.

"It can't be done."
"You can do it easily."
"It will take two months."
"You can go through in 22 days."

d C?rman*Will Utilize Enormous Ceposits
3 cf Turf Fuel.
A scheme for the transmission oi
n electric power and it> dij-tubution on an
^ enormous scale is to br tried in North
e Germany. It is proposed to utilize the
u great peat beds there for the manufacj
ture of currents that shall be distributed
(1 to manufacturing centers.
e It is estimated that an acre of turf
t. ten feet thick contains a thousand pounds
r of dry peat, and that this is equivalent
s to 480,000 tons of coke. In the peat
e valleys of North Germany there is an
r area of a thousand square miles, which
II should furnish the equivalent of 300,000,n
000 tons of pit coal. That would be
r more than the total production of Gerh
many for three years. It is proposed to
y burn this turt at central stations, each
it of which will have engines with 10,000
r horse power capacity, consuming ane
nually 200,000 tons of turf, the product
;3 of 200 acres of the beds,
y These power stations will grind out
electricity that will be conveyed by wire
" to the consumers. One application of
the power is to be to boat traction on
e the canal now in course of construction
y to connect Dostmund with the peat re^
gion.
Another very interesting application of
-v the power will be in the manufacture of
acetylene, the materials of which can be
jj obtained easily and cheaply in the neighborhood.
It is calculated that with a
6
' horse power of 10.000 acetylene can be
j produced daily in quantities equal to
150,000 gallons of petroleum, or equal
. in value in one year to 20,000 tons of
foreign imported petroleum.

It requires a great many hands, and

3 Then they have the finest time imaginable.
They are quite free from any inter1"

k are paid, and paid well, by the basket;
therefore they work hard. In the evening
