FAR® AJTD BAHDET. HOTf TO DBT COWS. A French agricnltaral writer reeom* mends the ase of powdered camphor to dry up cows which continue to sup* ply milk too close to time of calrinij. Cows giving about six quarts a day three weeks before due were givea three doses of thirty grammes each dose, and the cows became dry in two weeks. The cows were not injured in any way, and were milked thoroughly until becoming dry. —New York World. A SUCCESSFUL HAYMAKER, To be a successful haymaker, one should be an expert in weather signs. When the upper current of clouds be gins to float trom the west,it is safe to begin mowing. A clearing shower does not harm new mown grass. I have often mowed all I could handle the last half day and morning of a wet spell. While others were mow ing, wo were cocking and soon haul ing. It is a safe rule to keep hauling whenever the hay is fit. One friend itlways gets ten to twenty acres in cock before he will draw any. Last year every pound was out in a rain. If too much is mowed at oboe, it will get sunburned before it can be bunched. An extra hand during hay ing oft'jn proves a good investment. —Buval New Yorker. SHADE FOR RHODODENDONS, Rhododendons, and other broad leaved evergreen shrubs and trees suc ceed best when planted in a half- shady position. Some of the species may withstand the hot sun very fairly, provided they have plenty of moisture at the roots, but the foliage will not lu.vo that rich, glossy and healthy color seen on plants growing in half shade. Give the plants the morning nun; after midday shade will be bene ficial in both summer and winter. If yon will go into our forests and notice where the kalmias, rhododendons and hollies thrive best, you will find that they are shaded more or less. Plants that are half burned up in summer cannot withstand the cold of winter \ consequently there are many plants which would bo perfectly hardy in onr climate if they were given a fair chance for growth and healthy de velopment in Bummer.—American Agriculturist. HOW TO BURY -CABBAGE. , Take an empty barrel—a salt or sugar barrel will do very well—dig a hole sufficiently large and deep so that a few inches of the barrel will project above the ground when it is put in position. Now bank the soil urbund the barrel so that it will be on a level with the top of the barrel and sloping in ail directions from it. Then cut the stalks of the cabbage off close to the heads, and put cabbage into the barrel so that the stalk part of tho cabbage will be uppermost. Thus continue until the barrel is full. Then cover with a lid which will turn water, made of inch lumber. Cabbage buried in this manner in the fall will keep till quite Rite in the spring, and besides this it can be gotten at any time in the winter with out any trouble. The foregoing is a description of the best method of burying cabbage we ever tried, and we have buried cabbage in quite a number of different ways. The ob ject in having the embankment slope away from the barrel is to prevent surface water from getting into it.— Agricultural Epitomist. GOOD TASTE IN FENCES. , To keep fences neat and in good or der shonld not always mean to keep them primly clean and free from all fringing and climbing plants. Ap propriateness is synonymons with good sense and good taste in this as in every point. The degree of neat ness required on a suburban avenue is greater than that required on a modest village street, much greater than that xeqaired along a rnral highway. But, however freely and variously nature inay be allowed to drape and buttress a fence, the fence itself should be kept in good repair. Gaping brick-work, tottering stones, broken palings, fallen Mils or swaying posts can never bs pleasing to the eye, except, of course, where man’s work has patiently gouo to ruin and been abandoned to nature, who can turn confessed decay into piotnresqueness. I A broken fence, with the aid of which nature has created a luxuriant hedgerow, or a fallen stone wall over which she has woven a garment of wild roses, grapevines and smilax, is a charming thing to see; but only 'where the soil itself has been aban doned to her free devices—never amid the surroundings of an inhabited house or encircling fields still culti vated to aupply the wants of man. Here, also, nature may sometimes bo allowed a pretty free hapd; batman's supremacy should still be manifest j and this supremacy does not manifest itself favorably if signs of neglect and decay are apparent in any piece of his handiwork.—Garden and Forest. LATE-HATCHED CHICKS. Many poultry raisers have little suc- oeetf with late-hatched chick. A fruit ful cause of loss with chickens hatched in June, July and during the first part of August is the rapid multiplication of vermin, and their greatly increased activity at this season of tho year. This undoubtedly, in no small num ber of cases, causes the lack of growth that by many is attributed to hot weather. The boat, even of in id mm- mer, is rarely ever greater than is en joyed by young chickens, and if they are kept free from vermin at this time, and are surrounded by the proper conditions of food, drink and cleanliness, they ought to make rapid growth. If chickecn are to be hatched late,, it ic important that they be of a quickly maturing breed, so that they may be laying before winter sets in, otherwise there will be no eggs and no income from them until spring. Plymouth Rocks and Brahmas hatched in June or July can hardly bo laying before cold weather, but Leghorns hatched in July may be expeciad, if proper caro is given to secure rapid development, W> begin laying before exceedingly cold weather makes its appearance. This is a point that shonld not be overlooked, for ou it very largely depends the question of whether they are to be profitable or aot. Late-hatched chick* certainly are not profitable nnlea* they are laying in the time of the high prices ef win ter, and, etill fdrther, unless they can be given such comfortable quarters as to secure continttous laying daring the winter. There need be nh preju dice against hatching chickens in June and July, but let them be of a breed that matures rapidly and lays prolifi- cally, and keep them free from ver min, which js the prevailing pest of hot weather. —American Agriculturist. FARM AND GARDEN NOTES. Do not dog the cows. Feed a little salt to the hogs as well as to the cattle. Do not wait till the grass is woody before cutting for hay. Comfort of stock adds to the income of the pocket book. Fact. If the stock is herded provide the herder a shade of some kind. Corn, clover and milk make the best and most wholesome pork. Remember that good care and keep are as essential as selection and breed ing. Have tho calves and colts in the back pasture plenty of water these hoi days? Bred for the best or not at all, should be the horseman’s motto in times like these. Feeding soaked corn to steers in summer is practiced by some with profit, they claim. Give the growing swine a variety of foods, and when possible let clover be a prominent element. Any extra milk you may have will give good returns fed to the colts these hot trying days. Fly nets for the horses are a profit able investment for the farmer or for any one else who owns horses. Horses are cheap, but that is no good reason for keeping yourself poor m supporting more of them than yon need. Every stock keeper who has two or more pastures should allow one or more to rest or grow up while the other is being fed off. See that tho food given to your cows is of the best quality and in the best condition for digestion. This is very important. Test every cow, and do not be con tent with your herd until it averages 300 pounds of butter or 750 pounds of cheese yearly per cow. When your dairy is up to your ideal standard, bu careful not to use a male inferior to the herd, lest your breed go down instead of up. To get early lamb reqnires a good deal of work. One great essential is to change the bnoks every day at the time you wish to breed. / Your Yorkshire hog makes splendid bacon with desirable alternate streaks of fat and lean. It is a good hog to keep for the family supply of pork products. The merciful dairyman, when he draws calves to market, puts them in a comfortable orate, instead of tying their legs and doubling them under the wagon seat. Have a supply of bolts, washers and oil on hand before commencing the haying. A few cents for bolts may save dollars in time and hay the first weak in haying. One of the best feeds for sows that are suckling little pigs and for the pigs themselves, especially daring growth, is milk made into a slop, or rather thickened with middlings. Water the horses frequently, give imall amount at a time; and the prin cipal feed should be given at night, that it may be eaten at leisure and 'digested and assimilated before morn ing. With swine and poultry both on the farm, not much need go to waste that has any food value. Hogs will eon- inme more different kinds of pro- vender in unattractive condition than any other stock. The cow that most graze indus triously half of the summer to re cover physically what she has lost by indifferent keeping through the win ter is not apt to earn a dollar in real profit for her owner. Let the hon sit if she wants to. It is a prompting of nature. If chioke are not wanted, let her amuse herself with artificial eggs for awhile. It will do her good. She will be good for nothing for a time if yon break her up. The vegetarians are no doubt right in denouncing flesh-eating as the ctuse of many diseases in the human family. Tape-worm, consumption and oilier diseases may come from meat that is not well cooked. Bnt perfect cooking destroys all this origin of disease. In capping honey the bees begin at the outside and finish at the centre. The capping of the broad cells is dark, porous aud convex, while that of the honey cells is white and con cave. The capping of honey cells is made thicker by black bees than by other races. Theory ol American Storms. Professor Colbert explains the origin of great storms that move across our country from the Rocky Mountains to tho Atlantic seaboord on this theory: The moist air from the Pacific, driven up the west slope of the Rook ies by the rotation of tho earth, is suddenly deprived of its moisture in cooler altitude. This drying of tho air onuses a change in specific gravity, and the disturbauee produced at once results in a slight rotary enrrent. The revolving mass of air moves on ward toward the east, its motion and size constantly increased by the suck ing in of warm south winds on its for ward eilge. These currents from tho south drop their moisture from con- tact with tho colder revolving storm, and the sadden lightening of the air by the dropping of its moisture works like a stream on a mill wheel. Thus the real cause of our great storms lie in the conditions met by these traveling whirlwinds in their regular journey across tbs country. If they are cold enongh and meet with enough moist, hot air in their coarse they are set spinning with a velocity that makes a cyclonic storm.—Chicago Journal.

There are many"'mud volcanoes scattered throughout the world, but there are few whose action is so regu lar and so characteristic as that of Dempo, in the island of Sumatra. This marvelous volcano, about 10,000 feet In height, was visited recently by a correspondent who thus de- scribes It: All was quiet and placid and I sat down awhile to take in tho details of a scene so novel; a vast circular basin half a mile in diameter, with rocky sides of sheer precipices, displaying at places horizontal strata, and at the bottom of this another smaller basin, some 200 feet in diameter, filled to within about thirty or forty feet of its rim with a smoky substance, like burnished silver, re flected the blue sky and every pass ing cloud. We had sat thus for perhaps ten or twelve minutes when I noticed that the centre of the white basin had be come intensely black, and was scored with dark streaks. This area grad ually increased. By steady scrutiny with my glass, for it was difficult to make out what wa% silently and slowly taking place, I at last discov ered that the blackness marked thn sides of a chasm that had formed in —what I now perceived the white burnished mirror to bo—a lake of seething mud. The blackness increased. The lake was being engulfed. A few minutes later a dull, sullen roar was heard and I had just time to conjecture within myself whence it proceeded when the whole lake heaved and rose in the air for some hundreds of feet, not as if violently ejected, but with a calm, majestic upheaval, and then fell bark on itself with an awesome roar which reverberated round and round the vast caldron and echoed from rocky wall to rocky wall like the surge of an angry sea; and tho immense volume of steam let. loose from its prison house dissipated itself into the air. The wave circles died away on the margin of tho lake, which resumed Its burnished face and again reflected tho blue sky; and silence reigned again until the geyser had gathered force for another expiration. Thus all day long tho lake was swallowed up and vomited forth once in every fifteen or twenty minutes. That it was not always so quiet even as now the stones on the Bawah and the aepri® on the sides of the cone bore witness. Once in about every three years, the natives told me, the crops of coffee, bananas and rice were quite destroyed by “ sulphur rain,” which covered everything for miles round the crater.—[Chicago Tribune. Mother Goose’s Grove. “A man is very frequently igno rant of tho things that lie nearest to him,” said Hon. Thomas M. Hab- son, the eminent Boston lawyer. "A case in point is furnished from my own experience. The windows of my office look down upon the old Gran ary graveyard that is one of the landmarks of Boston. It contains the Franklin monument, the tomb of John Hancock, and the dust of a number of old colonial governors. That much I knew up to the big en campment of the Grand Army in our town three or four years ago. It seemed that of all the sights of Bos ton none attracted the great crowd of Grand Army visitors like tho old Granary Cemetery. I think at least 10,000 people made a daily pilgrim age there while the encampment lasted. “I was standing with a friend watching the crowds ono day, when ho remarked: ‘I guess it’s Mother Goose’s grave that draws the stran gers.’ Here was something new to me. Boston bred and born, as I was, I didn’t know up till then that tho old lady whose rhymes have delighted thousands of juveniles all over the broad land had been laid to rest within a stone’s throw of my office. Mother Goose is no myth; her real name was Ann Goose, as appears on her tombstone, which contains noth ing else but the simple record of her birth and death. Whether she wrote all the rhymes herself or simply collated them is a vexed question, but in any event young America will ever cherish her memory.”—[Wash ington Post. Norman Gauntlets. Under the Norman Kings gloves, or, more strictly speaking, gauntlets, for they were made to cover the arm as well as the hand, were often richly embroidered and the backs set with precious stones. No doubt the Nor man ladies, whose skill in needle work is shown by many an old frag ment of tapestry still preserved, shut up as they were in the gloomy recess es of their strong castles, would find a pleasant change of occupation in ornamenting their lords’ gloves with curious tracery and quaint devices in gold and silver thread. The glove she was embroidering, with its suggestions of merry hawk ing parties by the reedy mere, of friendly contests in the tilting yard', would seem to the noble dame the token of peaceful recreation when the iron gauntlet with its heavy links and chains could be safely laid aside. As a proof that gloves at this period formed a distinctive part of the dress of persons of high rank, tradition tells us that Richard Coeur de Lion, on his way home from Palestine through Austria, was recognized by the servants of his enemy, Duke Leo pold, by the pair of jeweled gauntlets which he wore in his bolt, these latter ill according with the disguise he had assumed oi a traveling merchant or home-returhing pilgrim. — [Good Words.

Crazed Engineers. The strange antics of a crazy engin eer at Alton, HI., suggest the fact that insanity is very frequent among rail way emploves. Two dramatio illus trations can be mentioned. There is living in New Jersey, not far from Philadelphia, a man who for many years was the foremost passenger engineer between New York and Phila delphia on the Pennsylvania Bailroad. He ran all the specials and best trains, and in ten years never had an acci dent. One night in the gleam of tho headlight he saw a woman. He had only time to see her hands raised and to hoar her cry, and before he could put his hand upon the lever he felt a jerk under the wheels and knew that all was over. Since that night bo has never been on an engine. For months he did not sleep, and later became practically insane, but only on the one point of seeing and hearing the woman his engine killed. Now he goessabo.it harmlessly and aimlessly, but he has to be kept away from rail roads, and in his fretful sleep he awakens with cries and paroxysms of horror.
