sides, ie placed at n, on which can be ar-
ranged the clamed fruit.
1 It will be observed -that the milk table is
convenient to both stairs, also to the churn.
I thought best, a light partition oan be
niado to separate the churn power from the
rest of the cellar, but if a dog is used for
the motor, and he is brushed before entering
the cellar, no trouble will ensue. No breeze
should be allowed to enter the cellar, and
to guard against this, heavy curtains should
be hung at the windows, and tightly closed
during the prevalence ot heavy winds, and
to shut out the direct rays of the sun. In
the spring, remove all vegetables as soon ea
possible, clean the cellar bottom thoroughly,
whitewash the walls, and keep the au sweet
and pure. If milk is spilled on the earth or
woodwork, remove at once, and do not allow
it to contaminate the atmosphere. Ventilate

Why Lost People Walk In Circles.
It is matter of common knowledge that
when a man is walking blindfold or is los&
in a fog or in some unknown forest or desert
instead of walking straight he has always a
tendency to work round in a °kale. The
moot commonly accepted explanation of
this curious fact is the slight inequality in
the length ot a man's legs. The result of
one limb being longer than the other will
naturally be that a person will unconscious-
ly take a longer step with the longer limb,
and consequently will trend to the right or
to the lett, according as the left or right is
the longer, unless the tendency to deviation
is corrected by the eye. This explanation
is supported by the fast that in the enor-
mous majority of cases the human lege are
proved to be of unequal length. The care-
ful measurements of a series of skeletons
showed that no lase than 90 per cent. had
the lower limbs unequal in length; 35 per
cent. had thei right limb longer than the
left, while in 35 per cent. the left leg was
the longer. The left leg being, therefore,
more often the longest, it is to be expected
that the inclination should take place more
frequently to the right than to the left, and
this conclusion is quite borne out by obser-
vations made on a number of persons when
walking bliodfolded.—Science Siftings.
Growlag Tomatoes.
_ From an old gardner who ie very success-
ful in raising tomatoes, I obtained some
rules for tomato culture, and have had such
excellent results from following them that
I give them for the benefit of amateura.
Set in a warm sunny place with soil
light and deep, but not too rich. Plant,
about three feet apart each way,
and as they grow, watch carefully and
pinch off nearly all side shoots, allowing
only a few strong ones to remain. As the
plants grow, tie securely to stout stakes,
about three feet high. When they reach
that height pinch out the top to prevent
further growth and watch side shoots more
closely than ever. In this way the remain-
der of the plant grows strong and vigorous,
and bears its fruit in large clusters. One
thus pruned, standing beside oee unpruned
with other conditions the same, will Bear
half as much more fruit, of larger size and
finer flavor, and will ripen more evenly and
a week or ten days earlier than the other,
We have a large stock of Tweeds and Fine Worsted
Suitings, and a big selection of Fine Pantings, and
as we have secured the services of Mr. W. A. Mac-
Brayne, a first-olaas tailor, we are prepared to turn
out Snits from $11 and upwards ; Fine Pants from

Kinn treatment. A gentleman in Ohio is
an enthusiast ou this plant and raises it by
the acre every year; he gets honey from it
for the bead and food for his horse and Jersey -
cow. His ground is seeded permanently,to
sweet clover, by letting it seed itse f. It is
difficult ts get a good stand by sowing. It
grows better on hard roads and hill sides
than on fertilized ground. My own ex-
perience and bservation of this
plant corresponde ,with the above.
-bow it on welt plowed land with every
care,and it may not grow ; but let it be
ground down into poor gravelly
soil by wagon wheels, and it, will flourish
and can scarcely be eradicated. In lanes
and country roads I have seen it so thick
that, a team could with difficulty be driven
through it, yet there was not a single speci-
men growing in the fields on either side of
the road. The seed is carried long di. -
tepees in the mud on wagon wheels. It is
a valuable plant for railroads, as it grows
luxuriously on the sides of deep cuts, there.
by keeping them froin. washing. It is a
good fertilizer, as the roots run down deep
into the' ground. Notwithstanding the
good qualit es that bee -keepers find to ad-
mire, it has fallen into disrepute in Illinois
and is classed as a noxious weed.
"Bees are not, neceeeary for fruit." I
would like to see that, printed in illuminat-
ed letters, upon every farmer's fence in the
land. Perhaps then they would compre-
hend the necessity of it. I find the follow-
ing in a late number of a bee journal which
will illustrate this point : "Before my
brother and myself engaged in bee -keeping,
no bees were kept in this vicinity. One of
our near neighbors has a barge orchard,
and in it, are several large trees which,
however, never bore fruit. In the
spring of 1885 we commenced bee-
keeping, and from that time those
heretofore barren trees yielded boun-
tifully. The owner himself gave our bees
the credit for their fruitfulness." In the
Northam and Western States during the
blooming time- of fruit trees,
insects are
scarce, and cotnparatilvely few beim will be
found working upon the flowers. Since
there are no insects which survive the win-
ter's cold, and live, in communities. like
bees, their =portend° to fruit growers is
apparent.
Fruit trees are not a necessity for bees in
- the same degree as fruitis dependent upon
them; yet if therel was no fruit blooms,
bees would not be strong and thrifty, capa-
ble of taking care of the coming clover har-
vest. If there are no cool rains during the
fruit blooming periOd, bees multiply very
rapidly, and at its doge oolonies are at the
swarming point. 'There is harmony in
Nature, and insect and vegetable life are
dependent one uponthe other. Raspberries
continue blooming for about three weeks
and are an excellent source for honey. The
nectar they yield ie unsurpassed. Owing to
the dependent nature of the bloom'rains do
not wash out the honey as they do from
some other flowere. A farm without bees,
fruits and flowers is no home at all. Get
some raspberry plants, enrich, stake and
mulch them well and you will never regret
it. Then do not tarn in a horse or calf to
eat them up and say they do not pay.
While you are about it, set out a plot of
strawberries. Remember the bees and the
birds, and plant some mulberries and chile-
ries.—Orange Judd Farmer.
The Best Peed for Horses.
• Oats is the best grain to feed horses in
good health. Barley is next best. For a
steady diet, corn is not wholesome and, if
fed alone for anv length of time, is certain
to produce ill effects from indigestion. Oats
have about the right proportions of nutri-
tions and coarse matter to be healthful,
while cora hie a very large per cent. of 1
strong food. Old er enfeebled horses, should
be ted ground food, a good. mixture being
four bushels of oats to one of corn. Twelve
quarts per day of this ground mixture will
prove a good 'feed for any horse while pdhool
ing or doing other heavy farm work. W
oorn should bo soaked in warm water for six
hours before feeding. Once a week give
horses a feed of wheat bran. An occasional
feed of potatoes, apples or roots will prove
beneficial, and the animals will relish the
change of diet.
Houses for Inseet-litllera.
Birds can help in the war against bugs
and worms. Each blue bird and robin is a
guarantee of thousands less of insect pests.
A dozen or more bird houses can be made,
as shown, any wet day, and easily nailed
fast to orchard trees. Build with a door at
each end and partitions in the middle 80
that two families can be reared annually in
*soh.
EGG -EATING HENS.
A Plan to Break Hens of Eating Eggs --
Very Successful and Easily Done,
.
1 send you an illustration of a wire rat
trap which we have been using to break
hens of eating eggs. I have tried several
plans but have failed in all but this. In
the first place we tried to pick out the
hens which ate eggs and dispose of them,
but found it would take a. good portion of
our beet ones. I set this trap with an egg
A Neglected Fodder Crop.
Peas are an excellent food for mileh cows,
er for hogs. Take a piece of fall plowing
and harrow it well to make a good seed
bed. Sow broadcast two and one-half
bushels of the small Canada peas, or three
bushels of marrowfats, and plow under
four or five inches. The pea is a. deep-
rooted plant and should be put well down.
Sow on top of the ground one bushel of
oats to hold the peas up. For hogs they
some in as a green forage after clover, and
may be cut with a scythe, and thrown in to
them, or a movable fence may be put
around a small portion of the field. Good
success has been obtained by putting the
peas and oats in the silo. Or it may be
ant and cured, threshed and ground into
meal. Try two or three sores as an ex.
pertinent the coining season.

ed some hay around the back ot it so as to
conceal the wires, then stood back to
watch the deTelopment, expecting I would
have to help mit those which were caught ;
but they did hot need any assistance and
there have been none of them injured by it
as yet. About ten hens started for the first
egg, the trap shut down on two of them and
by the time they got out of it there was not
a hen in sig t. I set it again and called
them back ith corn. In this way I caught
ten or fifteetl of them in a few hours. I
next set the trap in the nests removing all
eggs after the hens had laid • for the day,
and canght a great many. I then left the
trap set during the day until they
gave it a wide berth. Within
a week's time I could put an egg any-
where in the yard and not a chicken would
come within ten feet of it. I paid fifteen
eents for our trap, aud don't consider it a
success as a rat oatoher, but for egg -eating
ishiekens it/is certainly a very fine thing.—

World's Fair Coins.
The Isabella quarter dollars, for whose

sponsible, bid fair to be a greater financial
success comparatively than have been the
Columbian coins. Fifty thousanddollars
have already been refused for the entire lot
ot 40,000, and every mail brings Mrs.
Palmer sums of money, asking her to re-
serve as many coins as the enclosure in each
ease will buy. Herein may be discerned a
delicate compliment to woman ancient and
modern ; to the bright and popular ladies
of the fair on the one hand, and to the
memory of the great Spanish queen on the
other.

Swing open wide the dusty blind
An let the Aprif sunshine in.
Plant flowers in the sours front yard,
Set out now shade an' blossom tree',
An' let the soil onoe froze an' hard
Sprout crocuses of new 'dem
Yes, clean yer house an' clean yer shed,
An' clean yer barn in every pert;
But brush the cobwebs from yer head
An' sweep the snowbanks from yer heart !
—8. W. Foss in Yankee Blade.
Too Literary.
It is amusing and sometimes disgusting to
hear some women talk of relatives or friend.
as not being "congenial." A wife who
makes such a declaration about her hus-
band shows not only poor taste, but a lack
of discretion and good sense, that is omi-
nous for tbe future. The degree of con-
geniality is never increased by such unwifely
indiscretions.
" My husband's a real good man, a good
provider, etiddy as a clock, and all tIsat,but
in some things we ain't a bit congenial,"
said a garrulous woman to a friend.
" Upon what do you disagree ?"
" Well, mostly about our reading."
" Why, how so ?"
" Well; the fact is I'm toiterary for
John."
" Indeed 1"
"Yes, John ain't a bit literary. Now, I
always did run to literaryness. I just bee,
lieve could write,"
" Did you ever try ?"
" Yes ; I've wrote two or three poems.
They rhyme right straigt.t through. But
John he just laughs at me. He says a wo-
man with four children and only a poor car-
penter for a husband ain't got time to write
poetry or be literary. There isn't the first
literary streak in that man. Now, I'm the
greatest reader."
" Does your husband dislike books ?"
" Oh 1 be likes to read the papers, and
says he thinks it's his duty as a voter to
keep informed in politics; and he reads
about the labor question, and he's got some
old histories and a book called Macaulay's
Essay.' that he's forever reading. But
when it comes to being literary, John ain't
there."
"What do you read ?"
" Oh 1 I read every scrap of poetry in the
newspapers I osn pick up and I often have
four novel. on hand at a time. I'm reading
one now called 'Millicent the Mad, Mad
Maid of the Mist,' and I take four splendid
story papers, and borrow two more. I e'pose
mebbe I'd be happier if I wasn't so literary,
but I can't help it.
" And of,course John can't appreciate my
tastes and my kind of reading. He ain't
literary enough for it. And so we ain't a
bit congenial. And 1 sometimes think it
would have been better for John if he'd
married a woman less literary than me. It's
dreadful to be no literary when your 'hue -
band ain't a bit that way.
Yes ; dreadful for the husband.

Men With Crank Notions,
A Jersey City man devotee himself to

and he claims a museum numbering over
3,000 samplea.
Nebraska boasts proudly of a collector
who gathers locks of heir shaved from the
heads of noted criminals, when they enter
the penitentiary, labeling and indexing
them with great care.
Philadelphia is the abiding place of a
collector of camt-off .horseshoes, who will
risk his neck to secure a prize in the street
and whose house is decorated with them in
alt sizes, shapes and degrees of dilapidation.
Boston can produce a collector whose
epeoialty is old, bricks, each having been
poured from some historical local edifice
while it was being demolished, and being
tagged with a resume of the history of the
building from which it was obtained.
A New Orleans person is a, collector of

flask of the granulated product of every

ual historical interest.

dred sample phials of the whisky pro-

Many Modes of Preparing Milk.
Milk contains all the elements that are
required to sustain life, writes Elisabeth
Robinson Scovil in a valuable article on
" Life in the Invalid's Room," in the April
Ladies' Home 'journal. It is usually the
chief article of diet when solid food is pro-
hibited.
There are many ways of preparing it, and
these have three ends in view, to render it
more palatable, more digestible and more
nutritious. After living upon milk alone for
a few days many invalids become exceeding-
ly tired of it. The skilful nurse will never
permit this stage to be reached. She knows
that her patient must depend upon this food
for nutriment, and she tries to give it so
that it will not pall upon the flagging appe-
tite. To secure this she must vary the mode
