sulphur a* a I?i?i?lec:unt.
Sulphur burnt in the poultry house I
will dispel foul odors, and thoroughly
disinfect the disease breeding germs.
It is not difficult to do, and requires j
only a few minutes' time once every
month. One ot the simplest ways is j
to heat an old shovel until red and j
sprinkle a few tablespoonfuls of pow- i
dorcd sulphur on it. Close the doors i
of the house at once, and be careful i
that no fowls are concealed therein, :
as the fumes mean certain death for
them.
I.et the door remain closed for an j
hour, then open and let the house have ;
ventilation. Carbolic acid is also one j
of the best disinfectants, and may be j

Corn for Table Use.
Near some of the summer hotels
there ere farmers who grow sweet !
corn lor them and they plant corn j
almost every wee kfrcm May 1 to Au- i
gust 1. that they may sell it every
week whne the guests are there. But
many farmers and gardeners not having
this special trade^to cater for.
make but one or two plants, and j
though it may be a favorite food with j
the tamily, there is but a short season ;
that it is available. We can see why j
the qjarket gardener may desire to j
have nis corn crop harvested and out j
of the way that he may grow another |
crop upon the same land, but where
land is so abundant that one does not ;
want to produce double crops on it, j
we see no reason why this succession i
of crops should not bo kept up. We j
have had it on our table nearly every j
day from July until November, and J
liked it as well at the last picking as ;
at the first, and we knvw it to be j
wholesome and nutritious, and know j
-?.. that its use reduced both meat and bread j
bills. The late plantings might have I
to be picked before the first severe !
frost and kept in a cool place until j
we were ready to use the corn, but j
even then they should ue as fresh as
much that is sold in our markets.? j

Soil Feed In jr.
The soil is like a bank deposit. One
can check out until the deposit is ex- i
hausted, thereafter checks are not .
. honored. He who would always be in
a position to draw on the bank must
continue making deposits. It is said
that many Pennsylvania farmers have ; i
-..J*- nt.InniJ h i T- lontl hv thfl 11SP <"> f i
Vjuxte I uiugii nan luuu ?J >.??V. ? . I
lime. Lime is merely a solvent, quick- j j
ly making the plant food in the soil j ^
available. Of course, if no attention <
was paid tc raising clover, and no in- j i
crease made in the stock fed, and the j |
freed plant food thus returned in the j <
shape of manure, the improvement of j <
the soil must have gone on at a rapid | 3
rate. But where the soil was fed, lime j \
was a great and permanent advantage. |
It will often be good policy to feed j (
with a view to making larger quanti- j ^
ties of stable manure. If the gain in ; ,
ftcsh of the stock fed just equals iti (
market value the cost of the feed j ^
stuffs consumed, then the manure pro- j
duced is acquired at the cost of the
labor invloved in caring for the stock. }
It is often possible to feed on this j
basis, and in most cases the fertilizing j
matter will be better and cheaper than (
if bought in the form of commercial ,
fertilizers.
Some times the cost of feeds used j (
may even exceed the market value of j t
tlie increase in weight and value of ' j
the animal fed, and still be profitable j
from our point of view. A feeder of i
steers recently reported a gain in <(
weight of 80 pounds per month for two (
months on a ration of hay, silage, j
seven pounds corn meal, two pounds oil
meal and three pounds bran, the i
animals being kept in box stalls and j
never exposed. Now in this case, at ?
present prices of feed, there may have z
been no margin of profit or a very -y
small one. Yet where the entire ma- \
nure was saved. I have no doubt that q
the feeder was well reimbursed. For ?
fully 50 percent of the fertilizing mat- f
ter in the feed was leit on the place. e
When stock is fed for manure in win- f
ter plenty of absorbent bedding being g
supplied and ciover or stock peas -9
grown the manufacture of soil food
is carried on the entire year, and the
results will soon appear in abundant
m harvests. Feed the soil, and the *|-il ! v
will more thah feed you.?Lincinnatus

Real bacon has been so little grown c
in this country that the public are ^
only now getting familiar with it. j t
Until recently it was not far different j c
with our mutton, but in that line of ^
mc-at production the change has been ^
mafked during recent years. : t
The trend of change in the public | t
taste with other classes of meat is al- ! j,
together in the direction of leaner \ ^
meat. Because of this change, the j a
large, heavy-weight steer of eighteen j ^
hundred pounds has been set away c
back in the marKets of today. The j
handy weight early maturing steer of j ^
1290 to 1500 pounds has taken his I f
place, and old fat wethers weighing f
120 to ISO pounds alive are now be- v
ing superseded by the lamb under 12 t
months and weighing from 70 to 100 T
pounds. It would seem incredible to t
the writer that public taste should ^
change so much in the direction of j
leaner beef and leaner mutton, and
that there should not follow a corresponding
change in the same, in the
line of leaner pork?that is to say, in
y the line of pork that is more of the
bacon type.
A certain Iowa packer of pork pur- a
chased last autumn at least three car- ^
loads of large improved Yorkshire
swine. These were taken down into s
Central Iowa?that is to say, into the ii
very heart of the corn belt. They n
were not taken there for purposes of
slaughter, but for breeding uses. The ti
males were chiefly intended for being f<
crossed upon the types of sows al- n
ready in that country. The purchaser
told the writer that his object was to ^
induce the farmer from whom his sup- _
plies were obtained to grow swine that ! ^
were more of the bacon type. He j
wished such animals, he said, because, I
all in all. they suited his trade better ; Sl
than tne other types of swine, such as ! **
he had been purchasing. i
When the average farmer of today :
kills swine for 1115 own use, which type ' s;
of animal does he prefer? Does he I ^
not pass by the large, heavily laden ! a
hog and choose such as are lighter and j
not so highly finished? If the taste of j s<
the farmer himself is veering in the j t(
direction of meat more nearly resem- j h
bling the bacon types, why should j
not the taste of the customer for g
whom he grows it veer in the same r,
direction??Professor Thomas Shaw, t<

Dipping: Sheep at Miearlng Time.
One gallon of clip costing $1.50 will
make 100 gallons of dip when properly
diluted for dipping. The best time for
dipping is at she aring time just after
the wool has been removed. The ticks
usually leave the old shjecp, going to
the lambs, before or at the time of
shearing, so it becomes necessary to
dip the entire hock in order to get
rid of them.
Where one man has a sufficient
number of sheep, lie should own a
dipping tank, but where several '
neighbors own sheep, one tank may
serve the neighborhood. The most
successful hog men arc dipping their
hogs nowadays, so the tank may serve
a double purpose. Galvanized it on
tanks made especially for this work
are so cheap and durable that any
other sort of tank is expensive. There
are several sheep dips in the market
which can ho bought. They come in
a concentrated form and should be
used according to >..ic manufacturer's
directions. Avoid dins w.iich contain
lime and sulphur, as they arc injurious
to the wool.
A convenient method of dipping is to
have the tank set at the end of a narrow
lane or shute, leading out from
the sheep pen or barn. The lane may
be temporary where hurdles arc available.
The tank for convenience
should be sunk a foot or more in the
ground. After the sheep have been
sheared, they (lambs included) are
driven through the lane, which should
be narrow enough to cause the sheep
to go single file, to the tank. As they
aro forced into the tank, a man, or
two if available, catches the sheep to
see that it becomes thoroughly soaked,
forces the head under for a second
and then assists it in getting out
of the tank. The sheep should remain
in the dip long enough to thoroughly
saturate the wool to the skin.
If a low-wheeled wagon with bed and
sideboar Is on is at hand, it is a good
plan to back it up to the tanK, allowing
the sheep to come out of the tank
into the wagon, where they should
remain until the wagon is full. This
keeps them from shaking the dip off
for a little time, and is also about the
height of the top of the tank, making
a good platform upon which to land.
Where sheep are regularly and thoroughly
dipped once a year there is
usually no need of a second dipping; ,
but in case ticks are found on them
they should be dipped again in the fall
just before cool w.eatner. Dipping is
not only a remedy for ticks and nee, ,
but is practiced as a cure and preven- j
tive of scab.?J. H. Skinner, in Orange (

caking lTp Broody lien*. j
Ask an old farmer the best way to ]
break up a broody hen. and ten to ]
?nc he will tell you:* "Shut them up j
and starve them, or duck them in cold i
ivater: throw them as far as you pos- i
>ibly can every time you come near
[he nest; tie a rag on their tails, or ]
build a frame wuere they must always t
stand on a roost, with no chance of ]
settling down." A short time ago I ]
.leard a new way, and I tried it and <
!ound it worked well. i
Remove your *>en from the nest
carefully?and here is a point which t
: is well to follow at all times: Al- <
ivays handle a ben as you would a i
hild, with care and consideration, as 1
.hey are tender things, and jerking affects
their nervous system just as
aiuch as it would affect your child to
;rab it by the arms or legs and swing <
t over your head once in a while. That 1
s-something which many people, and j
ijven men and women who have made <
i study of the poultry ousiness iur i (
tiany years, Jo not know, or else they ?
lo not care to know. But, to return ^
:o my subject: Take the hen carefully j
rora the nest, place her in a comfort- t
iblc place, but in altogether new sur- ]
oundings, where there are no nests, i
md do not starve her by any means.
Dn the contrary, feed her on all the t
ich, concentrated foods she will eat, t
ind especially see that she has some t
dnd of animal food?green cut bone ?
s about the best for this. Be sure t
;he has plenty of grit, some green food t
tnd water. Do not forget the last, as j
vhat we wish to do is to get this hen c
n laying condition again, and in or- t
ler to do this she must have plenty of a
;ood food and water. Before long we i,
ind our setting, hen has renewed her
ntire constitution; that old broody |
eeling passes away, and she feels like r
jetting out and enjoying the air, and v
rill soon by laying again. 6
The reason this process acts so well t
.nd so quickly is that a hen after lay- d
ng a large number of eggs becomes o
rorn out; her constitution has stood b
, heavy drain for all winter, perhaps, t:
nd she feels a desire, a very natural b
esire, to sit, because it is the nature g
f the hen to sit and raise a brood of
hicks at least once a year. By rais- t<
ng this brood she rests herself, and e
hat is why she is usually in such gooc v
ondiiion when winter comes. I have d
eard showmen say that they like tc si
avo their hens sit, as by doing this
hey rest up, and in the winter wher. g
he show season comes on, instead of
aving an old fagged cut her. who has s
teen forced to lay most all the year t(
round, they have a hen that has had
itr natural rest, and she is in good ^
ondition to show. About this latter j(
am not much of an authority, but I
o know that a hen can be broken ?
Si
rom being broody by feeding care- ^
ully and changing her quarters. She ^
rill begin laying quicker under this
reatment than any other, and, in my
nind at least, it is the best I have ever a
ried, and I have tried several other
lumane ways.?Correspondence in

A Cat That Cried.
"Do animals ever shed tears?" is a
question frequently asked, but never
satisfactorily answered. Some one
tells us of a cow that wept freely when
separated from her calf. In one of the
large buildings of the city the other
day many people were witnesses of a
weeping kitten. The wee mite had
strayed into the building, and there
had encountered a fierce, barking dog
Df the fox terrier variety. J
She had run to escape him into a !
room in which was the roar of much
machinery, had been shouted at, had
had a piece of coal thrown at her, had
been caught by the nape of the neck
ind flung by a giant, had been taken
up in a lift, and had had the tip of her
:ail pinched by some laughing men.
When she finally reached her destination,
a quiet spot at the top of the
all building, she was a palpitating
nass of fur more dead than alive, with
10 fight left in her and with tears
streaming from her eyes. Indeed, a
nore lachrymose sight was never seen.
It took a good fifteen minutes of pet;ing
and cajolery to induce her to stop
:ryiiig, too, and to lift her head.. But j
inally, like the cow in the story, she
lecame consoled.?New York News.
ltill hikI Joe.
Ray likes best to have me tell him
stories about Bill and Joe, two great
flack dogs. They are owned by two
joys, who live near a village by the j
sea. In the summer many people J
:omc there to board. cottages and !
it the big hotel. The boys have a |
vagon for the dogs, and when Bill and
foe are harnessed and the boys are in
he wagon driving this turn-out is
ooked at by everybody. All think the
)oys have the best dogs they ever saw.
The boys sell newspapers during
he summer and twice a day, when ti.
rains come in, the boys are there with
he dogs and the wagon and they drive
iround, leaving the papers at the cotages
and the houses. All the boys al
he shore are on t .e watch for Bill and
^oe, and when they come along some
if the boys and girls get a ride, and
his pleases them very much, and they
.re made extra happy when the boys
tit them drive the dogs awhile.
One summer a little sick girl came
o the hotel with her father and
nother. They thought the sea air
rould do the child good. She was a
weet girl, but looked so weak and so
hin everybody was sorry for her. She
id not seem to get any belter and the
nly thing she seemed to care for was
o see handsome Bill and Joe come
rotting along. Then she would
righten up a little and seem to take
rcat notice.
So one day her father asked the boys
d drive right up near to where little
-tta was sitting, and how pleased she
'as! The boys spoke to her and the
ogs kissed her hands. Then the boys
aid to her father:
"Don't you want, sir, to have us
ive Etta a ride?"
The father looked at the girl and
he whispered to him, "Yes," so he
aok her up carefully it. .As arms and
ut her on the seat beside one of the
oys and she had a nice little ride,
t seemed to do her good, for that
veiling she ate a little more and
eemed a lirtlc hungry. The boys gave
er a ride again the next day andt hen
er father asked Ihe boys to come for
few moments twice a day.
So every day Etta watched for Bill
nd Joe morning and afternoon, and
he acted as if that gave her some
ling 10 live ror. rsue Re in, feeti.iis
etter and better, and after a time
alkcd down to the wagon instead of
eing carried. In a few weeks she
'as called well and her mother and
it her and the doctor all thought that
ill and Joe had cured her.
How she loved those dogs! When
; was time to go home It seemed as if
tie could no1 hear to part with them,
he father tried to buy Bill and Joe
nd told the boys he would give them
200 for the dogs, but they would not
?11 them for any price. So the father (
amforted Etta by telling her he
ould bring her back the next sumicr
to play again with Bill and Joe.
He also gave the boys $20 and told ,
mm to buy new harness for the
Dgs and do what they liked with the .
>st of the money. They bought the
arness and put the balance of the (
loney in the bank, for they hoped to

Archie h:i I flic Crow.
There were few'things that pleased (

is grandfather, who owned a large .
airy farm in Orange county. New .
ork. The little P lo'w was hi - grand- j ]
ither's namesake, the old man was j |
>nd of the boy. and never got out of !
atiencc at the lad's questions or his j
!ayful humor. I
One day when Archie was out in the | ;
oods with one of his grandfathers j <
hired men the man caught and gav?
1 to Archie for a pet a young crow. A
crow, even in the wildest state, is a
sort of half-domesticated animal. It
is no trout-le at all to tame them, and,
a,side from their insatiable desire to
get into all sorts of mischief, they make
nice pets. Archie and his crow were
pretty good friends by the time they
got to the house, and this wag of the
feathered tribe opened up a rich run
of the funniest, drollest things for his
young master during all that summer's
vacation. The bird nover lost an opportunity
to play a practical joke on
anybody and everybody; but he seemed
especially delighted when his victim
was the old man. Archie's grandfather,
all of which was accepted in good part
by the old gentleman, until one day
the crow carried his jokes a little too
far, and came perilously near being
a dead crow afterward.
Although the old man was rich, beyond
the necessity of labor, he believed
in plenty of outdoor exercise, and was
especially fond of working in his own
garden aid orchard. In the kitchen
lit*ii LiJi"i;; <x miuhu 1/1^ pcoi
tree, in which (he crow used to porch
himself end watch the old man sow
seeds, sot out young tomatoes and cabbage
plai ts; while Archie enjoyed the
j same sight from his hammock on the
back por di.
One day grandpa stretched a line
some fifiv feet long, by ths aid of
which he intended to sot out a. straight
row of young cabbage plants. There
are few more back-breaking jobs about
a farm ttian this setting out of young
cabbage or tomato plants. On this
day all he old gentleman's attention
was on '..he job in hand. Hr was not
thinking of Archie or the crow, or
anything else except those cabbage
| plants, which were in a pan by his
side, as he worked slowly and patiently
along toward the end of the long
line. Every twelve or fourteen inches
he would punch a hole in the soft, rich
loam with a sharp stick, slip the root
of a young cabbage plant down in this
hole, press the earth compactly around
it, and then make another hole at the
proper distance off, into which he
inserted the root of another plant.
The old man never took his eyes off
his work until he got to the end of his
line, by which time his back and legs
were so nearly broken that he was in
sore need of the satisfaction of survey
ing a hard (ask, well done. Alas! alas!
When he did turn around to view with
pride his work, what was his disgust to
see that Archie's crew had followed
along behind him and quietly pulled up
every solitary cabbage plant, after
which the wicked imp of a bird had
flown into the pear tree, where he Joked
as innocent and solemn as if there
were not a cabbage plant within a
thousand miles. Archie was asleep in
his hammock?that's what the old man
said to himself. He was sure of it. It
was the wind and not the little rascal's
laughing that shook the hammock so.

Have you ever watched a pair of
sparrows when first the house hunting
and building mania comes upon them?
How stupendously busy they are, especially
the cock, and what a tremendous
lot he has to say! As a matter
of fact, his missus does all the real
work, and he supplies all the theory,
which she consistently disregards.
Not that Mrs. Sparorw works impetuously,
as though time permitted of
no deliberation. On the contrary, she
uses (he greatest deliberation in the
performance of every action, however
trivial. Watch her when she is considering
the eligibility of, let us say,
a bit of string which she has found in
the garden path, as material to be
used in the building of a nest over
which she is busy. First she will sit

Then she will flit over the apple

northwest. Then she will examine it
from other points of the compass. At
last she will hop up to it and pull it
about?apparently accepting it, but rejecting
it again, still uncertain as to
its suitability for some purpose exactly
defined in her foolish little mind. At
last she will decide to use it, and, seizing
it. she will fly up to her nest with
the treasure; but, vacillating "once
again, she drops it at the very threshold,
and sits upon the roof a little
while, eying it and chattering; explaining
to her lord, perhaps, that it would
have done well enough if it had been
longer or shorter, or thicker or thinner,
or heaven knows what. Finally
she will lit. down and carry it away
to use, and behold! tomorrow she has
turned it out once more, and it lies
upon the garden path a rejected thing.
Not for long, however, for either herself
or some other bird has removed
it next time one looks for the much
considered snap.
That conceited and self-assertive little
person, her lord and master, is far
les3 deliberate in his actions. He is
more certain of himself, being eon- 1
vinceu that he knows everything, and
that to consider and weigh and deliberate
is a waste of time.
He is anxious to help with the nest- 3
making, and holds forth without ceasing
while his lady builds. Occasionally
he lends a hand. He catches sight of
a straw, it may be, or a small piece of
stick, and it occurs to him that here is
the very thing his foolish wife has
sought for days and failed to find.
What does not occur to him is that
he is a garrulous old incompetent, and
knows no more about nestbuilding
than he docs about the laying of eggs.

The new Puritan stock collar, .with
stole ends is a great favorite.
Magpie combinations in very delicate
effects prevail in veilings.
Etamine and mercerized effects*
closely resembling silk, are noticeable

etc.
Irish crocket and tating hold full
sway in the lace world.
Grapes and cherries are among the
smartest hat trimmings of the hour.
Decidedly the elbow sleeve is the
predominating one for summer, both
for high and open-neck gowns.
Row after row of machine stitching

FEEDING A DAIRY HERD.
I have a silo I have filled for two
years- with a pea vine ensilage for
which I have paid $2 per ton for
what I have bought. All it has cost
me is hauling the overplus from t.he
factory. I commence feeding twice
a day. After milking I feed eight or
ten pounds per cow. After they eat
this I give them coarse fodder, what
they will clean up. I gradually increase
the mess of ensilage to twenty
or twenty-five pounds per feeding. I
give them all thev will clean up after
they get used to it, with hay or stalks
at noon.
My experience has heen two years'
feeding with good results. When I
change from ensilage to hay or cornstalks,
I find the flow of milk decreases
to some extent. To get the
best results in feeding pea ensilage,
the grain rations should be twothirds
wheat bran, one-third gluten
meal. I find my cows stay in good
health and fine condition, with large
flow of milk.?Frank Lawyer, in Orange

tf the coffee has not been allowed to
stand on the grounds until the flavor
is spoiled you can use it in many desserts
such as white or yellow custard
preparations using less milk, according
to the quantity of coffee you have,
or you can use it in frozen cream, or
for any dark cakes instead of milk or
water. In fact, its being a liquid you
can use it wherever the flavor of
coffee will be agreeable in the combination.
A New Salad Dre**ins.
A most delicious dressing for green
salads is made by putting one tabletroonful

three tabler.poonsfuls of oil
and two of lime juice. Stir all the

until the sugar is dissolved. Heat one
quart of creamer rich milk, mix two
tablespoonluls of arrowroot in a little
cold milk to dissolve it and stir
it into the hot milk; stir and let cook
for a few minutes to thicken. Put the
puree of strawberries into a dish and
when the cream is cooled pour it over
them and stand it in a cold place for
the cream to set. Heap whipped cream
or the whites of six eggs beaten to a
stiff froth over the top. The cream or

Koasted Saddle of Lamb.
Have your butcher cut off two loins
before the carcass is split down the
back. If the lion is medium-Sized it
will take one and one-half hours to
cook; if large allowr two hours. If
you cannot cook it bofer an open fire,
cook it in a very hot oven; first expose
it to an intense heat until it is
well browned; then season with salt
and pepper and baste it every 15
minutes, with the dripping which falls
into the pan. Serve with cucumber
sauce.
Cucumber Sauce?Peel two large
cumbers and cut them in slices and
soak in cold water for an hour; drain
them and put them in a sauce-pan
with one medium-sized sliced onion
and enough white broth to cover,
and stew gently for quarter of an
hour; season well with salt and pepper
and a tablespoonful of lemon juice
or vinegar.
Making Gruel* for Invalid*.
Preparing food for an invalid or for
a convalescent is a thankless task at
best. There is nothing very inspiring
to the ccok in gruels and teas of the
various sorts, but since there will always
be a somewhat steady demand
for these uninteresting foods, it is
well to know how they should be
cooked and why one way is better
than another. Gruels which are mixtures
of grain or flour and water or
water and milk need more careful attention
than do many French dishes.
To be easy of digestion, gruels must
be thoroughly cooked, and therefore
the milk, when it is added at all,
should be added only when the grain
has been well cooked in water first
If the water has evaporated in cooking,
the original quantity must be restored
before putting in the milk and
the milk be hot boiling and loses much
of its agreeable taste. Another point
about gruels is that they should be
drunk slowly. The action of the saliva
upon the starch is considerable,
and therefore the more slowly the
gruel is taken the more easily will ft
digest.
The skill in gruel making comes in
when one knows how to vary the
flavor so as to render the food appetizing.
Sweet gruel is far from pleasant,
yet it is well often to add a very
little sugar. Cinnamon, grated lemon
peel, vanilla, nutmeg and almond are
flavorings that may be used at discretion.
Flour gruel is one in which
any of these flavorings is used, al
though when it is intended for a feverish
patient a little lemon juice is recommended.
To make it with cinnanon,
for instance, mix one tablespoon:ul
of flour, one teaspoonsful of sugar
ind one saltspoonful of salt together
md moisten with two tabiespoonfurof
:old water, working to a smooth paste.
\Tow add one cupful of boiling water
md a bit of stick cinnamon. Boil
jently for 20 minutes, taking especial
?are that it does not burn. Now add
me cupful of hot milk and let the
nixture just reach the boiling point.
This is to be served very hot and
should be strained to insure perfect
reedom from lumpiness.
Household Hints.
Windows should be cleaned with
hamois skin.
A pinch of salt added when eggs are
>eing beaten up makes them froth
aster.
Coarse brown paper, such as is used
?y butchers, is best for draining fried
hings upon.
A lamp wick should never be allowed
0 crowd the tube. If tight, pull out
wo or three threads lengthwise. ,
Did you ever try brickdust to clean
gatewear? It is less expensive tdlan
ther articles sold for such purposes,
nd far more effectual.
