MULCHING THE GARDEN.
There is scarcely any other simple
service by which the fruit garden may
be so greatly benefited as by the appli-
cation. of a generous mulch, of some
kind. Al! fruit trees are greatly help-
ed by it; all the small fruits with the
exception of the grape, need it to help
them through the ghat heat of our
sumamers ; some of them cannot be sat-
isfactorily cultivated, indeed, 'without
it. The strawberry is very greatly
assisted not only to full-sized fruit but
to a, long -continued crag by thio de-
vice for conserving the natural mois-
ture of the soil. The mulch is also
highly desirable to keep the fruit olean
swhenl ripening, at whichi time it is oft-
en "sanded" by s@nowers, rendering it
practically worthless --few people care
for strawberries which have lost their
flavor as well as their sand by being
washed The some treatment is hard-
ly lase needful to the raspberry, for
these who raise this fine fruit well
know how rapidly without it the biz
ries diminish in size after a few hot,
dry days; how, suddenly, also. they
grow large and luscious again after a
drenching shower. It will be readily
understood, therefore, that a. radicle of
Several inches of some protecting ma-

FEED FOB PIGS.
Warm skim or new+ milk is the most
perfect feed for pigs, .and when this
cannot be had, the nearer to it thefood
cant be made the. better the result will
be. Middlings made into a thin slop,
steamed if convenient, and a little oil-
meal added is probably the best subati-
tu;te for rnieilr. It promotes growth of
bona and muscle, and does not make the
young pig too fat. Cornmeal porridge,
with a good proportion of oilmeal, is a
good ration, except that the corn cot
prove too fattening. One hog mals

Weeds, skim milk, buttermilk. ,potato
peerings, cabbage leaves, turnip and
beet tops, and other refuse will be ao-
cepted by a hog and no grain need be
given in summer.
DESTROYING BURDOCKS.
It is a comparatuvealy easy matter to
kill the burdock, though it may bo'
hard enough to exterminate) it, because
it seeds so plentifully and the seed
will remain in the ground for years
until it has a. favorable chance to
grow. As the buadloek is biennial it
dim out after it has seeded the second
year, says American Cultivator, but
oaLy after it has provided thousands
and tens of thousands of seed to per-
petuate its kind. All that is need-
ed, to kill the plant is to take a dull
ax and chop the root something be-
low the surface, and then throw on a
handful of salt. The burdock root be-
intg soft and moist dissolves the salt,
whiDh quickly z-ots it so that further
sprouting of a new top is imPossible.
No amount of cutting without the salt
will do the work. The buirdock, like
most weeds is a very persistent seed-
er, 'fie have seen it mown down with
tabs scythe two or three titrates during

shrubs and trees, and returns much of
the richness to the soil which it has

tion of moisture. And, whale we aro

NECESSITY FOR GOOD( WATER.
Water is directly absorbed into tbe
Wood with whatever impurity may be
contained in it. It is to soave extents
strain.ed or filtered of what it may have
of solid matter not dissolved in it, but
whatever is held he solution, and same
of whist it may have that is not dis-
solved. to some extent, goes into the
blood with it. Thus impure water
poisons the very fount of life, says
American Sheep Bareeder, and carries
into an animal what may be the most
injurious to the healith, There are,
haoswever, some injurious matters exist-
ing in water which are.more especially
deserving of notice on account of their
very deleterious effects, such as the eggs
or germs of organa matter, either
vegetable or animal, as the spores of
various minute plants, and the embryos
of the most deadly parasitic animals.
Of these may be mentioned the germs
of epidemic diseases due to the growth '
irn the blood of minas plants derived
from these germs, an:d the deadly para- i
sites such as the laver fluke, the various
intestinal worms, and the ova of many
tape warms. All these may be takers
intosheep in waterdrank from streams
or spriegs or most frequently from
stagnant ponds. One of the most ire- I
gamut sources of infection is the over-
flowing of pastures by streams into
which a. large extent of manured lands I
may have been drained, or into which
the wastes of towns or oities may have
been diecrtharged. On this account the
shepherd cannot exercise too great call-
tionfor the protection of his flocks, or
estimate too highly those most favor- t
able localities where the streams flow 1
down unoleared mountain slopes, from
the primeval forests, or where the
sparse population bras never defiled the
soul with filth and impregnated it with
tine germs of disease. Nor can he esti-
mate too highly the pure artesian foun-
tain flowing from far down below the
sources of impurity, and supplying
the flocks with wholesome drink. And
in the choice of a range or for a farm
for the rearing of a flock, this Point is
to be considered first and last as be-
ing of the most paramount importance.
WATERING HORSES IN THE FIELD.
Some of the pleasantest memories of
my boyhood on. - the old farm cling
around "the old oaken bucket that
hang in the well," says a writer. The
farm. lay on both sides of the road,
with. muph of the arable land so near
the house that it was rarely neces-
sary to carry water to the. field.

TROPICAL TIPS.
Showing Row to Make not'Weather Radar
able.
A hint comes from India which is
worth using in the hot summer days.
Lassitude and loss of appetite are
among the first evidences of the effect
of the gun's heat upon the body, and
in hot weather many persons who
have never had sunstroke are debili-
tated by what might be fairly called
sun -fatigue which, although not
serious, renders work of every kind
more laborious than it would other-
wise be.
The influence of the sun varies en-
ormously on different individuals, some
of whom have to take special pre-
cautione in order to be able to resist
it. A spinel pad is used by soldiers
in men, aropieal countries. It ar-
restst Lai iget which, often works
such injury ,but is uncomfortably hot,
a.nd soon becomes objectionable from
its. absorption of perspiration.

THE OLD PEOPLE.
lin many homes where there are
old
people they are loolked upon and treated
as if they were in the way. When peo-
ple become old and helpless, an& as is
often the case, dependent upon their
ohildren, it is very pathetic to see them
subjected to cruel indifference and often
i11 -treatment. Parents soirietlmes hear
their children speak saucily and disre-
spectfully to old people without making
an effort to correct them. There is too
much of that very unkind attitude of
"lettitog them knew their place." It has
caused many tears to flow from the
dimmed old eyes of mothers and fathers,
who have struggled and worked all
their lives that their children may have
better advantages than were afforded
them. In old age they are grudgingly
given a corner in those children's
homes, and in every action are shown
that they maitre trouble for someone.
Very often, too, the very homes in
which they live are those which they
unselfishly gave up for their children's
greater happiness,
It seems very strange that people
will forget they are hastening on to
age, and will sometime be old
and possibly helpless. It is 110
more thein natural that they
win reap as they sow, and that
is certainly an unhappy condition to
anticipate. , . very old lady was re-
cently left almost penniless and alone
by her shiftless and selfish son -her
only child She owned a modest little
house, and wee contented and happy
until her ecu married and brought his
wife home to live, and from that tame
the old mother was one too rainy. To
satisfy her son she mortgaged her lit-
tle property an order to raise money
far him to build a larger house, nand
through pure indolence he squandered
it all. Naw the young family has mov-
ed. away and left the poor old mother
alone, This son does not seem to care
how or where his mother lives, and
for years he and hie wife have made
her feel she was a great burden to
them.
For the short time these dear ones
are here why not make them comfort-
able and taffy? Gyve them warm, sun-
ny rooms, with as many of the com-
forts of life as oaln be afforded. Let
them into the family circle, and treat
them with love and respect. Surely
this is not asking too much irf return
for the care and devotion of so manly
years
HINTS FOR THE HOUSEHOLD.
When perfumes are not disagreeable
to a patient it is well to use them free-
ly in a sick room, as they are a pro-
tection against contagion. It is said
that if lavender water is sprayed
through the livinng rooms of houses sit-
uated in a malarial locality, it will pre-
vent the occupants from contracting the
disease
The back and arms of an old chair
that seem to be of no use will Make
en excellent bed rest for an invalid.
The rest is made by outtiing away the
seat and legs and padding the back and
arms with pieces of ani old comfortable
and covering this with some delicate col-
ored chintz or satire, or, when the rest
is in use, one may fill tare back and sides
with pillows.
When banging sash curtains in the
summer cottage windows and rods are
ct wire. It calf
not at hand, take piuse a
be fastened securely from brass -headed
nails, the curtains can be readily drawn
upon it, and it will not sag as apiece
of twine will.
Do not forget in packing away silver
for the summer to put a few pieces of
camphor in the box with it. This will
help to keep the silver fr.;m becoming
discolored, as it oftentimes will when
not in use.
Mothers in the country with childrei
will do well to visit the barn and secure
a box of oats to keep at hand. Wet
shoes, as soon as they are removed from
the feet, should be filled with the oats
and left until perfectly dry. The oats
absorb the nmoisture in the leather and
preserve the shape of the shoe,
A. zinc bathtub may be polished very
satisfactorily with kerosene. Have the
tub perfectly dry before using the oil.
Cover one small place at a time with
the oil, rubbing it well with a brush
and then a cloth. When all parts
have been cleansed- wash the tub with
boiling water.
Figs that have become dried may be
freshened by laying them upon a plate
and placing the plate in a steamer until
the fruit is softened and full. Roll the
figs in confectioner's sugar and let them
stand in a warm room a while
Now that the berry season has come
around the convenient little article for
I hulling strawberries will be doubly ap-
preciated. With • a cherry stoner and
something for removing hulls on ber-
ries, the housewife does not look upon
this preserving season with such dread,
and stains upon dainty pink finger nails
are a thing of the past..
OIL STOVES FOR SUMMER.
Oil and gasolene stoves are almost ab-
solute necessities during the summer,
and there are very few kitchens where
orae or the other is not found, unless gas
stoves are provided. They do not re-
quire much care. but should be attended
to daily en order to be free from; odor,
Proper location for either an oil or gas-
oline stove is a corner away from doors
and windows, where no draughte can
reaoh them. Unless such a place se
provided they will e+moke, and nothing
makes them diertier: For the sake of
eonveniience they should be set on a low
table or boot. This may be just large
enough to hold the, stove, but, if larger,
there will be room for pots, pans, etc.,
which are to be Used.
Kerosene etoves should be filled every
moirning,'as they give better heat when
the tanks are full. The dust should be
carefully wiped from every part, and
the perforated piece of metal for the
cireul.ation of air should also be kept
clean and time holes open, in order to
secure strong and steady heat. 'The
charred part of the wick should be wip-
ed off daily, so the wick will keep
straight and burn brightly. If every
fart of the stoye lig cleaned before light-
ing in the nme
entn only a few minutes
are required, andthere th r will be no
rmolke or-disagreeaiele odor. The same
cleanliness is also necessary about a gas-
oline stove. A sanall brush, and a soft
cloth kept near at hand fire the only
tools required.
SLEEPING ALONE.
Give the baby and each child a bed
1.
to himself. Two single beds take but
little, if any. mere room than one
large bed. Have the sleeping room fur-
nished with only necessary furniture,
Bays a writer in Pacific Health Journal.
Cee that the clothing of the little
sleeper ie loose at the neck, waist and
arms, and keep the head uncovered. If
there is anything young animals can-
not do without, it is fresh air.
Through the pores of the skin the
body is continually throwing off poi-
sonous vapors. If the head is covered
with the bed clothing, the unfortunate
infant, will be breathing bad air.
The average child suffers from over-
feeding and overdressing. Let him learn
to be a trifle hungry. Do not take him
for an oyster or a clam, and keep him
in a stew all the time. Half the time
the child cries he wants fresh air or
fresh water -wiping the lips of a cry-
ing baby with cool water will often
sooth and refresh him.
SHE SUCCEEDED.
An old lady in rural England sur-
prised her friends Iby announcing at
table one night that she would go to
London in Tune to see the jubilee pro-
cession. Some of her relatives warned
her of the burdens of age and failing
health, but she 'would not listen, to
their objections.
"I know," she said. "that Taxa eighty-
three, but Twee itn Westnailnater Abbey
When the queen was orowned, and I
shall go up to London to see the jub-
ilee parade."
The objectors shifted, their ground..
They mentioned the high prices which
windows and platform seats were al-
ready commanding, and suggested that
she was hardly rich enough to hire any
place along tate six -mile route
"I shall arrange that little detail," she
replied, confidently. "I elball write to
tine queen about it. She will know my
name, for it is one of the oldest in Eng-
rami{, She will insist upon having a
seat provided for me."
The old lady's enthusi,asmamused her
friends, but she was wiser than they
were, She wrote a respectful letter to
teas queen, relating her good fortune in
'having been a witness of the coronation
service, and also of the first iubilee fes-
tivities ten. years ago, and adding that
although she was eighty-three and. very
feeble, she was bent upon going up to
London and seeing the second jubilee
show.
The letter was sent to Windsor pal-
ace, and was answered by the queen
herself with, little delay. She was
toue ved by the old lady's anxiety to
witness the parade, and moreover re-
cognized the name as one which had
come down from the era of the Norman
Conquest. The reply was cordial and
gracious, and was en tihe queen's own
he,nd. She thanked her correspondent
for the loyal interest displayed, and
announced that she bad given orders
that a window an Buckingham Palace
dliould be reserved fob her on the day
of the jubilee parade. She hoped that
osis of the oldest and most respected
of her subjects would live to occupy a
seat en. the window.
When this gracious letter was receiv-
ed the old lady was
triumphant,
�phont
, and
all her friends were called upon to re-
joice with her,
"I knew," she told them, "that the
queeinlmd a kind heart, and also agood
memory for a ;historic name like mane."
The queen has a womanly instinct in
rudbl *matters. She knew how much
pleasure site could confer upon a worthy
lady of
ancient ent lin a
3e by exceptional
kindness and honor. Be thoughtful and
considerate deeds like this she has en-
deared herself to her subjects,
IN THE WORK HOUSE.
AWoman, Once a King's Wife, Spent Her
last Days There.
The; romances of the London work
hbuse would form a. thrilling and path-
etic record, and, for Bad vicissitude and
ill -luck, few cases could surpass that of
an inmate of one of our poorhouses
Who has very recently passed away,
says the "St. James' Gazette." A
lady visiting the institution was struck
by the evident refinement of an elder-
ly woman in the infirmary who was a
Norwegian by birth, but who spoke
English and other languages fluently.
She had all the attractions of a very
lovely woman, wbuoh years of poverty
and ill health could not destroy. She
was very reticent as regards her past,
but was so evidentIv a gezltlewaman
that the syymmpathetue visitor exerted
herself to obtain adnaissionl for the in-
valid into a home for the dying, in
which she might pass her last days in
pewee amid congenial surroundings, Be-
fore her death the stranger told her
story, and a strange and romantic one
it proved to be.
At 17 she was unformed by her par-
ents that she was to be married, and
although he had no voice in the matter
nothing could have been more satis-
factory. Her huteband was handsome?
cultured and devoted. They lived in
a charming country house, surrounded
by every %unary, and four ohiildren
were born to the, couples. The only
drawbacks to the perfect happiness of
the young wife, were( the Yong and fre-
quent absences of her husband, which
he attributed to business, but would
explaira no further. At last there
came a day when, the man returned
no more from bits apcustomed journey,
but sent his lawyer instead from whom
the bewildered and heartbroken woman
Learned that her supposed husband was
the King of --, and that, owing to
