POWDER Absolutely Pure. This powder never varies. A marvel of purity, strength and wholesomeness. More economical than the ordinary kinds, and cannot be sold in competition with the multitude of low test, short weight, alum or phosphate powders. Sold only in cans, Royal Baking Powder Co., 106 Wall St. New York. 15 11m Agricultural Department, The milk crop in England is now £30,000,000 sterling or about $150,000. 000. This is more than the value of the wheat crop, and the disproportion increases yearly, as the tendency is to stock feeding rather than grain groov ing. ‘“Young and growing animals are,” says one, “the most profitable for the farmer. After an animal is 3 years old, unless it is wanted for work, milk or breeding purposes, it should be dis posed of in some w av, as unprofitable to feed longer. Scotch short bread made by this re ceipt is recommended: Half a pound of but ter and a quarter of a pound of sugar mixed to a cream: add one pound of sifted flour, knead and roll it half an inch thick. Bake slowly. If the cake is preferred very sw eet use six ounces of sugar. Nothing is so good for the flooring of all poultry-houses as the original soil over w hich they are built, dug up and mixed with screened mortar rubble. If rats abound, it is advisable to con crete the floors of roosting places, but they must be then covered deep in screened dusting material of some sort! Birds kept on concrete flooring without these precautions, how r ever well swept and cleaned, will not flourish. A writer for the Boston American Cultivator says that “what is wanted on our farms above everything else is that which will render them more at tractive to the young people. The Almighty, it wdll be remembered, not only commanded Adam to dress his homestead, but to keep it, and if we wish our children, when w e are in the silent grave, to keep their rural inher itance, we must make it agreeable to them, and not have them go to cities or manufacturing towns.” No amount of good food will fatten geese originally of a mongrel type. The quickest and best to lay on sound flesh are the produce of Emb- den geese crossed by Toulouse gander. Do not proceed to fatten suddenly. After giving free range of stubble and grass fields, continue gradually and at last wholly, in a partially dark place. Wheat and barley grain, and barley meal with brewers’ grains, fatten well. Goslings may be put up to" fate ten at five or six weeks; seven weeks should bring them to perfection. In dian meal is also good, and turnip and mangel tops # are greatly relished. Ponds are not required, but large troughs of water should stand about in the shade,- 1 ' Lq pruning roses “the thinning out of all weakly or exhausted shoots all over the rose bud or tree” is recom mended. “By removing these first the shoots that need cutting back will be more easily reached, -and the degree of such cutting may be readily and easily determined. The removal of all weakly shoots will also help to prolong the life, augment the vigor, and enhance' the beauty of our roses. As to the actual degree and amount of pruning in so far as. it reflates to the cutting back of last year ? *wood so much latitude must be allowed and is claimed by every rosarian, that no hard-fast rules can be laid down. The safest and perhaps the one' on * the whole the most useful, is to lefi every one be persuaded in his own mind of the rightness and reasonableness of his practice. The expected rosarian, while ever ready to learn, looks back along the highways and bywrays of of his past success, and repeats his prunning on the same lines as led to them. But these were not measured out by eyes in number or inches in length, but rather by the eyes of ob servation—common sense and knowl edge controlled by sympathy and af fection. The novice may be told that he may cut his young shoots back, ranging over the wide area of from two inches to twenty inches, equally right in both his ^nd- be _ primings. The majority of roses grown for the perfection of their individual blooms, such, for example, as the major num ber of hybrid perpetuals and teas may be pruned back from one inch to six inches, three being a fair average. Again, the weaker the roses, prune them the harder and the closer; the stronger, prune them the less and the longer.” Corn Burning up.—A gentleman who yesterday passed Mrs. Ruther ford’s fine corn patch says it is ruining fast, and unless rain falls in a*few days it will prove a total failure. The fodder has cured on the stalk from top to bottom, and smells as if it had been pulled. Mrs. R. was growing this corn for the fair, and a few days ago its yield was estimated at from 75 to 100 bushels to the acre.—Athens Banner. One of us saw it a short while since and thought it the best corn we ever saw. Indeed, the cotton, melons and other growths were all superb, show ing the great Skill of Professor Ruth erford as an agriculturist. The drought, however, cannot hurt him as a superb Mathematician, strong in the great science of quantities, he can smile at this little trick of nature in his corn field. We imagine it. will turn out better after all than the gen tleman imagines. Turnips.—Sow a part of your *uta baga turnips now. Sow a few more, if the weather suits, about the mid dle of August. Let the heaviest sow ing be in September. Take advantage of seasons. If the insects destroy the plants, sow again. September is the best month for sowing turnips of all kinds. Among others, sow a good quantity of Buist’s early flat dutch and also a good part of the large flat dutch. These are the best for table or stock. We prefer to any others the fiat dutch, both small and large, and the Ruta Baga. But there are other kinds that are -good, siich as Buist’s large globe turnip, the large yellow Aberdeen, the large white Norfolk. The. Ruta Baga, the large white Norfolk and the white Globe, ijLre considered the best for stock. Millions of dollars are annually lost by farmers by carelessly allowing their cows to get overrun with lice. Young stock, especially calves, are very lia ble to be troubled with these pests. When your cattle constantly lick and rub themselves, and the hair grows towards the head, or great patches of skin are exposed by the loss of hair, look out for this insect. Try the fol lowing: Two quarts of raw linseed oil, one pint kerosene, three pounds of sulphur; mix all thoroughly togeth er and rub well into the hair, com mencing between the horns and fol lowing back to the tail. Rub it on pretty freely, and then with a card scratch well down upon the sides. Do this every other morning until you have put it on three or four times, carding the cattle every morning. It is some work, but it will pay you to hire a man to do it. At the same time scatter a little Scotch snuff on the floor of the stable. If you do not get rid of them it will be because you are not thorough. Experienced farmers are aware that “a cow which gives milk up to near the time of calving is very apt to bring a lean calf, unless particularly fed with rich food, and well sheltered and well cared for. A good cow prop erly fed and well cared for will give milk to within four or five weeks of calving, and bring a good calf; but no cow fed on barley or wheat straw, and kept shivering in the cold, or with half enough to drink, will give milk to calving time and bring a good calf. It will be seen, then, that in order to have the offspring healthy the mother must be healthy also, and to bring this about we must avoid worrying, fretting or jostling her about with other stock. Feed"rye, one pint at a time, and some linseed or oil cake, during the last two months of gesta tion. These should be given twice a week. Some persons plant fruit trees of different kinds together, but this is a bad plan. Put apple, peach, pear, cherry, and all the different kinds in separate lots, each kind to itself. \V e have seen strawberry, raspberry and other kinds of small fruits planted among them. This i$ bad policy. The small fruit prevents the w orking and mulching, often needed about the roots of the larger fruit trees. Let all be planted separately, and the plowing, manuring and mulching oft en needed about the roots of the larger fruit trees, can be done without in convenience. With all kinds of fruits one crop, p,t a time on the same land, is best for the fruits and profit. HUMOROUS. Scene in the Union Market. Butch er—“Have some fresh'meat this morn ing?” Lady—“No, no! I have had fresh meat for a week back.” Butch er—“Never heard of its being used for that complaint before.” Squabbles,’an old bachelor, showed his stockings which he had just darn ed, to a maiden lady who contemptu ously remarked: “Pretty good for a man darner.” Whereupon Squab bles rejoined: “Yes, good enough for a woman darn her.” , . Scolding' woman, (to husband num ber two.)—“Oh! if you.only knew the difference between you, you ’Wretch, and my first husband!” Husband—“I do know the difference. He is happy now that he has left you, and I was happy before I got you,” I say, Sarafyo, where did yer get de shirt-studs?” “In de shop, to be sure.” “Yah, yer just tole me yer hadn’t no money/’ “Dat’s right.” “How did yer git’em den?” “Well, I saw on a card in de window, ‘collar studs,’ so I went in and collared ’em. Mohammedans do not admit old maids to their Paradise. They- think it would be very unpleasant to have a lot of skinny old angels in spectacles poking around for an opportunity to pick up bits of celestial scandal. The other day a wodld-be fashiona ble lady called at a neighbor’s at what she thought would be supper-time, “Come in,” said the neighbor, “we are having tableaux.” “I’m so glad,” said the visitor, “I thought I smelt ’em and I like them better than anything for supper.” • “I think I- have seen you before, sir. Are you not (3 wen Smith?” “Oh yes, I’m owin’ Smith, and owin’ Jones, and owin’ Brown, and owin’ everybody.” . • » “Madam,” said a trance-medium, “your husband’s spirit wishes to com municate with you.” “No matter,” said the widow; “if he’s got no more spirit in the other world-than he had in this, it’s not worth bothering about.” An Atkinson girl ate four pounds of wedding cake in order that she might dream of her future husband. And noYv*she says money wouldn’t hire her to marry the man she saw in that dream. “I say, Pat, what are you about: sweeping out the room?” “No.” answers Pat, “I'm sweeping out the dirt and leaving the room.” A Hinsdale boy who found a pocket book containing, eighty-five dollars and returned it to the owner, refuged a reward of five cents for his trouble, explaining that map^ a man has been ruined by becoming suddenly rich. A Detroit woman could think of but twenty-nine different, ingredients to put into a mince pie, and she wept the idea of losing her powers memory. A young girl was caught trying to steal a pair of shoes, on trial she was asked what *made her do so and she answered , she wanted them to wear to the Suuday school, she desired to be good, and she had no shoes, and no money to buy a pair. After a short consideration she was let off with a little good advice. 8.8.8. CANCER, ECZEMA, Promptly and most effectively eradi cated by tliis wonderful remedy. Try it.

Five weeks after she gave birth to ten more, which were strong and healthy. Though rather a rare occurrence, all domes tic animals, and some wild ones, give double births of offsbring, from a few days to a week apart. This comes from an anatomical peculiarity, caus ing conception to take place at varia ble intervals, and can only be pre vented by not allowing cohabition after the first service. These double births are apt to be hurtful, but the Berkshire alone escaped all harm, and her pigs have grown finely.—New York Tribune. The dairy cow must have been bred definitely and specifically to a given end; that is, the production of milk. The native cow, therefore, cannot be depended upon to breed dairy cows, except as the ground-work for breeding grades; for unless bred to a bull prepotent ill a definite direction, the calf will be more likely to revert to some ancester of no fixed charac- feristics, than otherwise. The prepo tent (purely bred) bull, however, will fix his characteristics strongly in the calf, and this from a well-known law, heredity.—Dflkiry World. The farmer who clears up an acre of new land increases not only his own but the nation’s wealth. But if he does this to the neglect of his older- tilled fields the gain is not so appa rent. We half cultivate too much al ready. Few farmers have the money to cultivate all the land they own, and until they secure more capital the better way is thoroughly to till a part and let the remainder lie fallow'. A ^ding citizen of Hagerstowm, Md., Mr. George W. Harris, had suf fered for some time with facial neu ralgia and toothache, when he tried ot. Jacobs Oil. He says: “It gave instantaneous relief, and I consider it a wonderful remedy.” For Sale—house and lot in centre of city—cheap. Can be made a desira ble residence at small cost.
