FOR FARM AND GARDEN,
PROFITS IN 0KESF-.
Generally speaking, a flock of geese,
properly managed, will pay tho farmer
s good profit, and it is a source of
wonder to me, soys A. F. Huntor in
the New England Farmer, that ao few
of the farmers who have or con have
tho water privileges, keep geese. Geese
are hardy, require but cheap shelter,
and for a good part of tho year will
obtain nearly all their living.
BUTTER FROM SWEET CREAM.
For tho benefit of those who want to
try the market with butter made from
sweet cream allow us to suggest that
the butter bo sent to the commission
merchant without tho slightest intima¬
tion to him how tho butter was inado.
Let him have it as it is and sell it for
what it is, and then if he praises or
condemns it you can act accordingly,
but do not tell him how it is made pro¬
vided it pleases him, for then he will
begin to look for faults under an old
prejudice. What should tell tho tale
is the pries the butter brings provided
no delays or accidents happened to the
butter .—American Dairyman.
CUTTING IIAY FOR 8IIEF.P.
The sheep is a raoro dainty feeder
than any other farm animal, and if fed
whole hay will inevitably get some of it
soiled and leave it uneaten. It was
found that by feeding twenty-five me¬
dium Merino sheep fifty pounds of early
cut timothy hay, they left twelve
pounds uneaten. When the allowance
was increased to seventy-five pounds
they left fifteen pounds uneaten. When
the hny was cut to three-eighths of an
inch iu length, there was scarcely any
waste, and this was found equal to
seventy-five pounds of long hay. There
was an equal gain cutting fodder corn,
though at best this fool is not so well
adapted to sheep as is hay, as n con¬
siderable portion of tho coarser parts
will remain uneaten .—American Culti-
cator.
REMOVIN'* rnF.E*.
More (rees are lost during removal by
careless exposure of the roots than from
any other cause. If it were possible to
preserve them constantly moist, littlo
danger from shrivolling need be appre¬
hended. For this reason, trees re¬
moved during a moist time always sue-
:ed beet, and of those planted when
the weather is dry more or less fail in
the hands of inexperienced planters.
Mutilation of roots during the digging
process is of course reprehensible, but
they frequently supply tho loss by new
fibres when not permitted to dry out.
Trees mostly show bad treatment by
shrivelling, and when a branch is cut
off the wood appears dry and lifeless.
This is owing to rapid evaporation,
which dispels the inherent humidity to
lie found in all forms of plant-life.
Their vitality may bo restored in a
mcasun by burying the entiro plant,
roots and tops, in a wot trench, and
permitting them to remain secure from
the outer air for two or three days;
still, “an ounce of prevention is wortli
a pound of cure.”— N. T. Tribune.
DEVELOPING COWS UY FEEDING.
Discussing this important subject,
Professor Cook, of tho Michigan Agri¬
cultural College, who is a practical far-
mer of considerable experience, ob¬
serves that if you tako time enough for
it you can do almost anything you havo
a mind to with tho character of tho
milk you obtain from your herd. Rich
foods given for long periods in large
quantities, and especially continued
irom one milking period to anothc^
ha) a powerful effect upon tho organs of
the cow. In some cows it produces a
tendency toward making the milk
richer; in other cows tho offect is to in¬
crease the quantity of the milk without
improving the quality. What is still
more important, them qualities aro in¬
herited nnd strengthened by tho off-
spring. The farmer can, thon, by f ced¬
ing nnd noticing the effect, through a
long time, aud especially by keeping in
his herd and raising tho calves . ,n
those cows which indicate a tendency
to change in tho desired direction,
make Lis hord become n milk herd or a
butter herd at his picnsuto. Fuch a
change is one that will require many
years nnd much care and attention.
THE MOST PROFITABLE STOCK.
It is only by good management, tho
keeping of a good breed, and feeding
and caring for them so that they can be
kept in a good condition, that auy thing
like a good per cent of profit can be
secured with stock. And in many lo¬
calities it is a question which is the
mostsprotitabie. Taking average con -
ditions and one year with another, and
it will be found best to keep all kiuds
of stock in order to consume to the
best advantage the different farm crops.
Cittle and sheep pay rathar tho least
profit—cattle rather less than sheep;
yet under mqny conditions it will be
found best to keep these in order to
keep up the fertility of the so 1, aud iu
some localities at least it will pay to
keep these, even at a low profit, for
this purpose.
Whether or not a profit is possible
with horses, depends largely upon the
glade. The markets, as a ru e, aro
overstocked with a low grade o f horses
so much so that prices arc so low
tnat, counting tho co>t of services and
of feed, the margin w.ll ho v.-ry small,
With a gool grid 2 , cither for heavy
earning or roadster), a price can bs sc-
cured that will return a good profit,
and thera Is no difficulty in lolling. If
tho quality is socurod, tho customers
will hunt them up. It costs no more
to raise a grade of horse, that nro in
demand in tho market than it does a
class that arc unsalable.
With hogs, a quick growth and an
early maturity aio tho principal items;
aud a good breed a, well as good feed
is necessary to secure this. Under
present conditions, a hog that will ro-
quirc from fifteen to eighteen months to
make a sufficient growth to fatten, will
not reluru very much profit to the
fnrmor. Ten months, on an average,
should bo the limit of ago for hogs,
bred aud fed for market. Aud any of
the liotlcr breeds, if well fod, can bo
ready for market at that age. Ooo
fa mer, under the conditions he is work¬
ing, will find one class of stock tho
most profitable, and another something
different. But usually, by keeping a
variety, tho risks are decreased suffi¬
ciently to make it more profitable alto¬
gether to keep some of each.— 1‘tairie

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.
Give a little clover to the pigs.
Don’t salt frozm park—it won’t keep.
K ep tho cellar at an even tempera¬
ture.
A dry place is the proper place for
grain.
A fast walker is bettor than a fast
trotter on tho farm.
Dwarf pears are something like tho
"ood—they dio young.
Breed thnt kind of sheep that will
give you choice, juicy mutiou.
As n rule, trim your trees into a pyra¬
midal shape. It is a graceful a id a
strong one.
Do you know of any better farm fer¬
tilizers than clover and sheep? If not,
why not use these?
Poultry like an occasional feed of
barley, have you any to feed them, if
you havo fcod a little.
Water haDrly iu the yard for stock is
also handy in case of fire. A small
force-pump is a convenience.
Young pigs and brood sows should
have only about one-third as much corn
as a hog you nro just finishing off.
Dj not attempt to grow too many
varieties of fruit, but be content with
those thnt thrive best in your locality.
Kvcry firm should havo a good tool-
house and good tools, and then keep
the tools in the house when not in use.
Most of tho time a dozen eggs will
bring as much money in tho markot as
a pound of butter. Which costs the
most?
A small lot of woo Hand will furnish
all tho fuel for a family by simply ju¬
diciously cutting out such timber as
will never bo auy better, but slowly dio
and go to decay.
A few roots added to tho daily ration
of your fattening sheep will cause them
to eat more hay and 'grain and make
you a profit both ou the roots and tho
extra amount of hay and grain con¬
sumed.
Fowls to lie hoalthy and in good lay-
iug condition should not be overfed.
The value of brnn, potatoes, cabbage,
carrots and turnips mixed with middl¬
ings, bai ley meal and corn meal is only
known to an experienced poultry man.
To tell the true value of a roadster,
uso him iu the mud; a heavy road will
test the endurance of a horso as well as
anywhere. It is no trick for somo
horses to make good time over smooth,
hard roads, that will givo out when
driven through mud.
Whales Away From Home.
Captain Hall of tho oyster schoonor
Joseph Allen, had a thrilling experi¬
ence with whales in Chesapeake Bay.
The schooner was Ion led with oysters
from Pocomoke aud on routo to Norfolk.
When off Wolk’s Trap a whale was no¬
ticed spouting far off to tho westward,
and as monsters of this species are rare-
ely seen in tlie bay, nil glasses aboard
wero leveled where the hugs fish was
navigating.
A1 of a sudden, and while thoso on
board were intontly gazing at tho first
whale there was a splashing of tho wat¬
ers about thirty feet ahead of the
schooner, and on tho stnibaa d, and
another whalo was seen to throw his
tail out of the water. Thoso on board
were considerably alarmed at seeing a
wiiaio within such short range, but their
alarm was greatly increased when his
whaieship commenced spoudng great
streams high in the air. Tho vessel was
hove to and as many as fifteen d ff.rent
whales wero counted. At on-j time
there were two on both the sSarboard
and port sides of Ihc flail craft and tho
tierco way in which they lashed the
waters caused her to rock consul nobly.
The mate of the vessel wanted to shoot
one of tho inrgsst of the whales, but
those on board stoutly obj eted, fearing
di astrous rosults if ho were only
wounded.
A Rich Bee Tree.
Junes Collins, who lives near G.ilo)-
burg. III., while searching for hogs,
noticed bees flying around a large syca¬
more tree. Securing help, he chopped
the tree down. As suimised, it ti*aed
out to be a bee tree of tho richest kind,
it was a mere shell, and when it struck
the fr z;n ground split open, showing
a seel ion of honey thirty feet long. In
ail lie secured 1103 pouuds. Mr. Col.
tins thought the bees wou'd have filled
a large bane*, but he had no wiy ol
hiyin^ tb m.
The Unexplored Regions.
The principal portions of the world re¬
maining unexplored urc situated in Cen¬
tral Africa, certain portions of Asia, the
central portions of Australia, and the
land surface of the globe within, or Africa bor¬
dering upon, the Arctic regions.
is still the least known division of the
globe, and although during considerable the latter
half of tho present century
portions of the country have
been explored, and many of
them opened up for trade and
colonization by and from various Euro¬
pean countries, yet still there continent is probably where
at least one-sixth of that
the foot of a white man has never trod.
If China, Thibet, Persia, and those parts
of Asia most recently annexed to the
Russian Empire were included among the
unexplored portions of the world, then
the extent of Asia remaining to be ex¬
plored would probably reach as much as
one-fifth of its entire area. As to the
continent of Australia, all the central por¬
tion, forming one-half of the whole, still
remains practically Unexplored. The ex¬
peditions in and since 187*3 seem to
demonstrate that much of the interior of
Australia between the west of the over¬
land telegraph line and the east of the
narrow hilly border of western Australia
is little better than desert, either unmiti¬
gated sand or dense scrub or porcupine regions
grass. In the case of the Arctic
very little can be ascertained as to the
surface, because both land and water are
continuously uuder masses of snow and
ice; and even when explorers like I)r.
Nansen, in the case of Greenland, succeed
in crossing the continent, the information
gained is, after all, but slight, and
makes it doubtful whether the result is
sufficient to compensate for the risk to
human life incurred in obtaining it. of A
great portion of the northern part
South America is also absolutely un¬
known. Taking all the unexplored of re¬
gions together, at least one quarter the
land surface of the globe still remains un¬
explored civilized and nations comparatively of the earth, unknown As to to
the
the water surface, explored practically nothing those re¬
mains to be except por¬
tions within the Arctic and Antarctic
circles, which arc continually frozen over
and therefore inaccessible.
The Color of Flames.
The color of a flame depends principally partly on
the temperature, but on the
nature of the substances undergoing com¬
bustion or incandescence, The flame of
an ordinary tire is yellow, render because carbon the
heat is not sufficient to the
a white heat. The flame will burn much
brighter raking when air is supplied cinders to it the freely, bot¬
as by out the blowing at
tom of the grate or the tire with
a bellows, because with every fresh rush
of air there is a new supply of oxygen.
The red flame is caused when there is a
rapid union between the combustible
gasses and the oxygen of the air, which is
frequently the eggp in the uttermost zone
of a candle flame.
One of the most extraordinary of Afri¬
can trees is that known as the baobab.
It is almost a forest in itself, and serves
for a complete sylvan growing palace on the larg¬
est scale. Hardy more than sev¬
enty feet high, its branches extend hori¬
zontally, supported by a trunk which has
a girth greater, it is believed, than that
of any other known tree. One of these
extraordinary trees was found in diameter. on meas¬ The
urement to be forty feet
age of another—counting the concentric
rings—was found to be five thousand
years at the very least.
A "Wales quaint superstition the effect formerly that bees existed
in to were
originally created white, but became
brown after the fall; a white pigeon set¬
tling on a chimney is regarded as a cer-
tain token of death; and in some parts,
if in a row of beans one should happen
to come up white instead of green, a
member of the family will die before the
year it out.
Oranges wrapped are now preserved in tissue and in silos, buried the
fruit beiug
in sand, care being taken that the wrap¬
pers do not touch, and only three layers
deep beiug laid in each trench.
Wiiat the world wants, says some¬
body, is a new religion. We doubt it.
Some people are not willing to pay for
what they are getting now.

The surest way of being

“it is not so wretched to be blind as it is
not to be capable of enduring blindness.
But why should I not endure a misfortune

The Tongue.
Taste is not equally distributed over
the whole surface of the tongue. There
are three distinct regions or tracts, each
of which has to perform its own special
is office concerned and function. mainly Tho with tip of the tongue and
acid the middle portion pungent is sensi¬
tastes;
tive chiefly to sweets and bitters, while
the back or lower portion confines itself
almost entirely to the flavors of roast
meats, butter, oils, and rich or fatty sub¬
stances. There are very good reasons for
this subdivision of faculties in the tongue,
the object being, as it were, to make
each piece of food undergo
three separate examinations, which
must it be successively paseed before
is admitted into full participa¬
tion in the human economy. The first
examination gets rid of substances which
would be actively and immediately de¬
structive to the very tissues of the mouth
and body; the second discriminates be¬
tween poisonous and chemically harmless
food-stuifs, and the third merely decides
the minor question whether the particu¬
lar food is likely to prove then and there
wholesome or indigestible to the particu¬
lar person. The sense of taste proceeds,
in fact, upon the principle of gradual
selection and elimination; it refuses first
is what is positively deleterious, destructive, next, what
more remotely undesirable and, finally,
what is only or over-lus¬
cious.

Said Sarah to Mary:
“ Pray, tell me, dear cousin, what can be the matter?
Sure, a few months ago you wero fairer and fatter.
Now your cheeks, once so rosy, ore sunken and sallow,
Your thin, trembling hands aro as hueless as tallow;
Your nerves are unstrung, your temper is shaken,
And you act and appear like » woman forsaken."
Said Mary to Sarah:
“ Your comments seem rough, but the faots are still rougher,
For nobody knows how acutely I suffer.
Iam sick unto death and well nigh desperation,
With female disorders and nervous prostration,

often thought better by the author to pub¬
lish the book anonymously under a feign¬
ed name, for it is easy and delight¬
ful afterward to confess to being
the auther of the book when everybody
is talking its praises, should it prove a
hit. It is by no means unfrequent for an
author to use a fictitious name to prevent
his or her whereabouts from being discov¬
ered, when it is desirable to keep the
same unknown. Most people, in spite of
that oft-quoted depth adage of belief of Shakespeare’s in

and always consider themselves sufficient¬
ly ingenious to fabricate a more striking
and easily remembered name than that
given them by their godfathers and god¬

necessary.
The Smallest Railway in the World.
The smallest railway in the Billerica world is
said to be that from North to
Bedford, Mass. It is narrow gauge in
the truest sense of tho term, for the rails
are only two feet ten inches apart. It is
eight and a half miles long. The rails
weigh only twenty-five eight pounds and per yard,
the locomotives tons the wag¬
ons four and a half tons each. The speed
of traveling is about twenty miles an
hour.
