LTCRAL >PICS OP INTEREST RELATIVE TO FARM AND GARDEN. Backing: Horses. One thing I have never been able understand and that is the subject bucking horses. I have given the ques tion some study, and find that only in the Western part of the United States, in South America and in Australia do horses indulge in this roost unpleasant performance. This would not be strange if it was confined to horses raised in these countries, but it seems to be in the climate, as the progeny of Western ponies, if taken East, never buck, and a colt of a high-bred Eastern horse if born on the plains will buck the first time a saddle is put on its back, a thing that other colts from the same mare born in the East never do. Both the Kentucky and Irish horses have a trick of bounding into the air and alighting with stiff legs, which is some times called buck jumping. But this in no way resembles the true plunging buck of the plains. I never saw any one who could account for the change of habit in colts born in the West, but every man who has ever had anything to do with horses in that section of the country is perfectly familiar with the fact.—Post Dispatch. Potatoes. Three years’ experience COnvnregfl"~& Farmer and Br:edtr correspondent that his practice brings potatoes “several days sooner than if planted without manuring in the hill.’’ Starting, “the first appor- tunity in spring,” with loose, loamy land, “reasonably rich or made so by thor oughly working in of well-rooted ma nure,” he proceeds as follows: ‘The soil should be thoroughly fined before panting. Mark the rows, run ning the plow reasonably deep. A good single shovel is the best implement for marking for early potatoes—have the rows about three or three and a half feet apart. Take reasonably fresh ma nure and drop a forkful where 'each hill is to be planted. Cover lightly with soil and then drop a whole potato of medium size; on this cover well, step ping on the hill to press the soil on the seed. The fresh manure will aid mate rially in securing the necessary warmth to induce germination,and if, as is some times the case after planting early in spring, we have several days of cold, wet weather, there will be considerably less danger of the seed rotting. As soon after planting as condition of soil per mit, a thorough harrowing should be given. This fines and levels the surface and destroys young weeds that are cer tain to start. Under ordinary condi tions two harrowings can nearly always be given. Keep the surface mellow. The first working should always be the deep est, getting shallower each time. I gen erally prefer to give at least one good hoeing after the first cultivating so as to loosen the soil well between the plants and kill weeds. Cultivate sufficiently to keep clean ahd have the soil mellow so that a strong, rapid growth will be made. After a good start by the vines, I find it advisable to thin to not over three good plants to each hill.” Farm and Garden Notes. Beets are relished by milch cows.

Hogs fattehed on barley are reported to make superior meat with a large pro portion of lean. A dairyman asserts that, on the same amount of food, he never saw other young cattle do as wcllas Holsteins. “It should be the aim of every feeder,” 6ays Henry Stewart, “to induce his stock to eat'as much as they can digest.” According to Col. F. D. Curtis the hog is the smartest animal we have among us, and the most like man, especially in the stomach. In making out orders for narsery stock one is liable to invest too largely in novelties. Stick pretty closely to tested and proven varieties. Scaly legs in fowls, a complaint of the season, should be treated by rubbing twice a week with a mixture of lard and kerosene, applied warm. Salt benefits the compost heap by kill ing weeds and preventing heating. Re sult of spreading salt on the heap— manure is all fine the next spring. Common homemade lye soap, well mixed with corn meal to a stiff dough, and given every few day, is now recom mended as a preventive and sure cure of chicken cholera. Sheep here do not pay as great profits as those in England. Everything de pends on the mode of management. Our farmers compel sheep to forage, while in England they are treated as carefully as as are cattle. It has been found in California that a cold air blast dries fruit in the most per fect manner. Samples of fruit dried in this way—prunes, apricots and apples— two years ago are still in a perfect state of preservation. Secretary Woodward would draw and spread manure from the stable, even if the snow were a foot deep. He believes that, spread on corn land in the fall, it does fifty per cent, more good than when spread the following spring. professor Robertson, of Canada, claims that cream raised by the deep cold process produces a butter that is less highly flavored w'hen first made, and is, In fact, often insipid at that time, but its flavor increases with age, and is at its best when several weeks old. A practical authority states that the best way to make a hog-crate, in his opinion, is to have the height three- fifths of the length of the hog, and the width three-fifths the height. This will make a comfortable crate for a properly trained hog. It is certainly worth trying. Keep cream apart from any strong- smelling vegetables, as nothing so rapidly absorbs odors as milk or cream. Never put it into a.jar that has had vinegar, pickles or acids in it, until the jar is thoroughly cleansed and aired. The best plan is to have a jar especially for it, and be very particular that it is often thoroughly washed and aired. Formerly it was common in giving directions for transplanting trees to add instructions how to stake them, to pre vent blowing over or becoming twisted by the wind, which was really one of the worst things that could happen to them, and such staking was always essential if the top was larger than the roots. But a better way is to obviate the necessity of all staking by taking up sufficient breadth of roots to hold the tree firmly in position when properly planted. Long a ample roots will hold the tree better WOMAN’S WORLD. HOUSEHOLD MATTERS. PLEASANT LITERATURE FOR FEMININE READERS. The Turquoise. Mrs. Langtry has the handsomest tur quoise in America. It is set as a pen dant with twenty diamonds, and valued at $5,000. Since the exhibition of the ex-Empress Eugenie’s turquoise and dia mond diadem, exhibited in a large dry goods shop in New York and purchased at the recent sales of the French crown jewels, turquoises have gained in fash ionable favor. A pair of charming brace lets consist of very narrow gold bands set all the way round with alternate tur quoises and pearls.—Exchange. A Heroine of the Storm. Mr. J. H. Ager, of Ord, Neb., one ol the Secretaries of the State Board of Transportation, tells an interesting tale of the pluck ot a young lady school teacher of Valley County. Not many miles from the town of Ord is situated the schoolhouse of Mira Val ley school district. This house is a small frame structure,and the nearest dwelling to it is at least one-half mile distant. When the blizzard came, there were in the little schoolhouse Miss Minnie Free man, the teacher, yet in her teens, and 13 pupils between the ages of 6 and 15 years. The children to the highest pitch of cxcitementpv Pie Without Fruit. When fruit is scarce, a good pie can be made of one cap of rich,sweet cream, sweetened and flavored to suit the taste; whip to a stiff froth with an egg-beater; if the cream is cold it will get stiff quicker. Line a pie plate with crust and bake; put the cream into it; set in a cold place until you want to eat it. Small pieces of red jelly placed on the top im prove its appearance. Fried Parsley for a Garnish. This is the cheapest of all garnishes, but it must be carefully prepared. Wash, pick and dry the parsley thoroughly, then put it into a wire basket, and hold it in boiling fat for two minutes; then take it out of the basket and dry it well by placing it before the fire. Beef-drip ping is the best frying medium for this Purpose, and care should bgtaken to nave it boiling hot when thepa«lgy ig put in. ; The Philosophy of Boiling. It is a mistake to suppose that a piece of “well-boiled” soup beef has been heated to 212 degrees throughout.

In the midst teacher’s assurance that all would be tv a terrible gust of wind struck the build ing, the windows rattled, the house shook, and the door of the structure was tom from its hinges. It was then the young teacher realized the necessity of preparing for emergencies. With an ex hibition ot rare judgment, she gathered her little brood together, and, securing a coil of strong, heavy twine, began with the largest ones and tied the children to gether hy the arras and bodies, three abreast. This completed, she huddled her charges around the stove and awaited the pleasure of the storm king. Its fu rious work came sooner than was expected. The terrific gale, sweep ing everything before it, struck the building and carried away, in the twinkling of an eye, the entire roof of the structure, leaving the frightened little ones exposed to the elements. The time for prompt action had arrived, but the plucky teacher was equal to the emer gency. Taking the youngest and frailest of her charge in her arms, she tied the re maining end of the twine around her own body, and with all the words of en couragement she could muster, the cour ageous teacher started with her “ team ” hi frightened little ones out into the fury of the storm. Those who have braved the terrors of a Nebraska blizzard need not be told that it required courage to enable a young girl to breast those furies, having in her keeping the lives of thir teen little ones and the happiness of thirteen homes. Those who felt and suffered the effects of Thursday’s storm need not be told that the act of that young girl was one from which men- might quail.

Through evaporation it is already some what cooled on the way to the coffee pot, and by further contact with other bodies the temperature is still further lowered until it is evident that the temperature in the coffee pot is several degrees be low the boiling point.

Buried With Military Honors. A correspondent of the New York Herald writing from Portsmouth, Eng land, says; I have just returned from the Southsea Cemetery, of this city, where, by orders from headquarers and with the hearty aoncurrence of the Duke of Cambridge, a woman was buried with full military honors. She was the wife of Quartermaster Fox, of the Second Connaught Rangers. She accompanied her husband to the Transvaal, and while ministering to the wonnded and dying on the field at what is known as the Brunker Spruit action, was shot in the abdomen, from which the bullet was never extracted. She then for four months became a prisoner of war in the Boer camp, and there, although weak and suffering* she still continued her ministration to her fellow prisoners. Shortly after her return to this garrison she began to suffer from partial paralysis. She was so heroic, patient and estimable that she became really an idol in the rcg-~ iment, after the fashion of the devoted vivandierein the novel of “Tom Burke.” When she died Colonel Bunbury issued an order in which he said: “The com manding officer takes this opportunity of placing upon record his opinion that Airs. Fox died a soldier’s death.” Lieutenant General Sir George Willis, commanding the district, followed it by an order reciting tjbwStenduct of Mrs. Fox and decreeing ♦Pmilitary funeral. This was attended by 10, ODD residents and strangers and a large deputation of sailors of the navy. In the procession fifty privates of the Connaught Bangers headed the line. The pallbearers were officers. The coffin was borne on a gun carriage drawn by six bays, caparisoned in black cloth, and each horse was mounted by any artilleryman. The car riage was covered with wreaths. Colonel Alai thus, who commanded the Rangers in tke Boer War, accompanied Quarter master Fox as chief mourner, and he was supported by six sergeants who had been also wounded in the engagement and been tended by Airs. Fox. Three military bands alternated in playing funeral marches. Among the occupants of the scores ol carriages were many ladies, of whom Airs. General Willis was one, her husband being absent on account of illness. Arrived at the cemetery gates, the Union Jack, at the corner of which hung the red cross which had been given to Airs. Fox by the Queen, was reverently spread upon the coffin, which was then carried by private soldiers to the chapel, where the Rev. J. Barton, principal chaplain of the forces, conducted the usual service. Three volleys were fired over the grave —for the first time in mili tary annals, it is said, over a woman— with alternations of funeral salutes from the band. The immense concourse then returned to Portsmouth, and each mourner on the way had some kind tribute to pay to the memory of the dead heroine. A Kentucky couple recently walked 100 mita to be married. A Suggestion for Easy Cooking. A writer in the New York Times saya: “A process in cooking that possesses the advantage of considerable saving in la bor and fuel, and, furthermore, makes it impossible to scorch or burn anything, is as follows: The food is brought to boil and allowed to boil for a few minutes. The kettle is then removed from the fire and carefully protected in a heat safe so as to prevent the beat from escaping. The food will then be cooked by its own heat, or, in other words, the temperature will for several hours remain high enough to produce the necessary changes in the rictuals under treatment. The heat safe necessary for the fore going process cau be easily constructed by anybody, and at a merely nomiual cost. First get a common packing V>ox of a suitable size, 'fever the bottom ”/vith a layer of picked wool or cotton two or three inches thick, then from a piece of zinc or sheet iron make a hollow cylinder a little larger than the kettle used, place the cylinder in the box, and fill tbe inter- yal between &A- cylinder, and the box thick.

A pretty fancy for light curtains is to drape them with narrow scarves or half handkerchiefs of their own material. Maiden-hair anti pink roses are the accepted decorations for the “pink’* dinners and luncheons now so prevalent. Rope embroideries and rope fringes are stylish and costly for wall decorations, a bit a yard square or less that we re cently handled being marked $135. Alaiden-hair fern without any flowera is a very favorite decoration this winter, and should always be dipped in water just before using, so as to glisten in the light. A decoration within the reach of almost »ny is a jar of grass and ox-eyed daises, draped about with a green scarf, and, though so simple, few more effective ones can be found. A narrow shelf about eight inches aj the mantel board, with a row of Ja] fans placed behind it as a border, admirably for bolding and display) smaller bils of bric-a-brac. A champagne basket and pine painted some neutral tint and draped with plush or velveteen, or cretonne, make an admirable holder for newspaper and periodicals. Have the pins of the easel long enough to hold the basket— whose lid should be fastened up with a bow matching or contrasting with the drapery. A very pretty tray cover may be made with but little expense. Get butchers* linen, which comes in fine quality at forty cents per yard, forty inches wide.
