Monls in Persia
When the Persian host thinks that
the entertainment has lasted long
enough he gives the signal for sup
per which is served either in the same
or another Toom A cloth is laid on
the floor around -which are arranged
the long flat cakes of pibhlc bread
which do double duty as food and
plates The meats consisting for the
most part of pilaus and chilaws of
different sorts are placed in the center
together with bowls of sherbet each of
which is supplied with a delicately
carved wooden spoon -with deep boat
shaped bowl whereof the sides slope
down to form a sort of keel at the J
bottom
The guests squat down on their knees
and heels round the cloth the host
placing him whom he desires most to
honor on his right side at the upper
end of the room that is opposite the
door At the lower end the musicians
and minstrels take their places and
all without further delay commence
an attack on the viands
The consumption of food progresses
rapidly with but little conversation
for it is not usual in Persia to linger
over meals or to prolong them by talk
which is better conducted while the
mouth is not otherwise employed
If the host wishes to pay special hon
or to the guest he picks out and places
in his mouth some particularly delicate
morsel In about a quarter of an hour
from the commencement of the ban
quet most of the guests have finished
and washed their hands by pouring
water over them from a metal ewer
into a plate of the same material
brought round by the servants for that
purpose
They then rinse out their mouth roll
down their sleeves again partake of
a final pipe and unless they mean to
stay for the night depart homeward
either on foot or on horseback pre

Putting Up Barbed Wire
The illustration from the American
Agriculturist shows a handy contriv
ance for paying out barbed wire
when building a fence of this material
A stout stone drag has a round stake set
in one corner well braced The reel of
wire is put on as suggested for attach
ing the upper wire and below the braces
at various heights when putting up the
other wires This brings the wire right
along beside the stakes and at just the
height desired When ready to staple
let the driver of the team rake hold of
one arm of the reel to keep it from turn
ing starring up the team a few feet to
stretch the wire His companion then
staples firmly when more wire is un
reeled and the process is repeated A
m
FOR MAKING WIKE FEXCE
slow moving team should be used or it
will not be safe to attempt holding the
reel
Coat of Growing Corn
The University of Illinois has been
trj ing to find out what it costs the
Illinois farmers to raise corn It had
replies from 300 farmers in all the
corn growing areas Up to husking
the items of expense given in the re
plies do not vary greatly but subse
quent expenses are absurdly reported
to vary 1J3 cents in one county to
BS8 cents in another The average
cost of raising corn was found to be
for the state 872 per acre or 161
cents per bushel Including interest
on the farmers equipment and the
cost of the cribs shelling and in haul
ing to market the conclusion is reach
ed that in 1896 which was an average
year with an average yield of fifty four
bushels per acre the cost from break
ing the ground to delivery of the corn
iit the elevator was 195 cents This
covers the rent of the ground or inter
est on the value of the land interest on
depreciation on plant and wages for
the farmer and others engaged in the
work of raising the corn At this
rate if he got 295 cents per bushel he
cleared 540 per acre He got this
clear in addition to wages interest
depreciation and other costs

the strain and the

Thinning Apples
Most of the early apples are abund
ant bearers and are apt to be small
Those that are sweet are not good for
much until ripe but Early Harvest and
the Twenty Ounce apple will bear pick
ing when two thirds grown and make
excellent pies If this is done in all
parts of the tree plucking a few apples
where they are fullest on the bough it
will make what apples remain much
larger and better besides supplying
early apples for household use says an

Keeping Fowls Out of Mischief
Something more than feed is neces
sary to keep fowls from running to the
garden or the newly planted corn field
and scratching among the dirt Hens
do this less to secure the grain than to
rid themselves of vermin by thorough
ly dusting themselves If a place close
by the henhouse is kept plowed and
Is strewn twice a week with grain and
harrowed fowls will rarely leave it
eor anything

tachment to slip over the pail can be
made as follows Take a piece of spring
steel bend to a size smaller than milk
pail ends not to be fastened cut cloth
a size larger than pail top and when
hemmed around steel it Trill be the light
size to cover pail Stretch over pail

A Barn Cistern
A barn cistern will be a very great
advantage where a large number of cat
tle are wintered The cistern should be
placed on high ground so that the
water can be piped directly to the cat
tle stalls The cistern should be built
under ground It may be built out of
the ground six feet or more use the
earth that comes out of the bottom to
bank up the outside The earth bank
ment should be five feet thick and well
sodded This will keep the water cool
in summer and warm in winter A cis
tern fourteen feet deep and seven feet
in diameter will hold 130 barrels of
water and can be built for 50 The
fall of the year before the ground be
comes saturated with water is a good
time to dig one The inlet pipe should
run down within one foot of the bot
tom The inflow of water from every
rain and the constant drawing of the
water will keep the body of water
stirred and thus keep it pure The rain
wafer that falls upon a barn forty by
twenty six feet will keep the cistern
full Baltimore American
Budding
Buds from the largest and thriftiest
shoots generally withstand the winter
better than those from the smaller im
mature wood which are liable to drop
off leaving the back attached The
triple buds on the older and more ma
tured shoots of bearing trees often sur
vive when the single buds above them
kill out Apricots and plums can be
worked on peach stocks but plum
stocks are generally preferred for them
Budding should be done during August
and if the weather has been very dry
so as to cause the stocks to stop grow
ing it may even be too late while if
there has been abundant rainfall the
work may be continued into Septem
ber The bark must separate readily
from the stock in order to have the
work successful Farm and Fireside
Fertilize the Orchard
It is certain that anycrop will ex
haust tihe soil in time whether of grain
grass or fruit On some farms may
be seen orchards of apple trees over
half a century old Every year these
trees have produced fruit and in re
turn have received nothing in the form
of fertilizer It is estimated that an
ordinary apple crop removes from an
an acre of soil about 50 pounds of ni
trogen 40 pounds of phosphoric acid
ami 75 pounds of potash When clover
is grown in the orchard the land is
benefited by having its proportion of
nitrogen increased but it will gain
nothing in mineral matter The land
devoted to apples should receive fertil
izer or manure every year and when
there is a heavy crop of apples in sight
the fruit should be thinned out in the
early stages of growth
Crop Experiments
The area of ground that can be used
for conducting a number of experi
ments need not be large An acre
will give sixty four plots each 25 by
25 feet square and a comparison of
different crops under various methods
of cultivation will give more practical
experience and information to in
terested than can be gained lv -iv
years cultivation without re o
system or regularity
Summer Pruning
Attention should be paid to summer
pruning fruit trees A topping of the
growing shoots just before they finish
growth will generally cause them to
set flower buds for the next season
Besides this it is the best time to prune
in order to thicken the trees
Poultry Notes
Better fatten and eat the stunted
chickens
Do not mix the bone meal with the
food
Sell poultry alive during the next
two months
Keep eggsln a cool place until they
rye marketed
Sell the young ducks as soon as they
are ready for market
Mixed with milk buckwheat makes
a good fattening ration
It is easier to avoid disease in the
flock than to cure it
As a rule the eggs of hens grow small
er as the moulting season advances
When the fowls are too fat an exclu
sive diet of oats will soon reduce them
Poultry and eggs are inseparable if
a fair profit is derived frcm the invest
ment
In the smaller breeds beauty of form
and plumage are the first require
ments
One of the disadvantages with guin
eas is that they are not a good market
fowl
The second year of the henls more
profitable than at any other time dur
ing her life
A coroner estimates that something
like GOO infants are overlaid by their
mothers yearly in London Infants he
said should sleep in cots as it takes
little to suffocate them

Milch Goats
The goat ought to do a great deal to
relieve the scare which has been pro
duced by the reports that we have
been habitually drinking milk Infected
with the tubercle bacillus as It Is said
that very few cows are free from tu
brecle In Sicily Naples Leghorn
Hyeres Avignon goat men go about
from door to door and sell milk freshly
drawn from the goats a flock of ten or
twelve goats At Leghorn and at Avig
non I myself have bought fresh goats
milk at the door No doubt in many
other continental towns a similar goats
milk trade is carried on The English
however are slow in quitting their
usual groove however advantageous
and wholesome the quitting may be
Many years ago I suggested to the Brit
ish Goat Society the advisability of im
porting some milch goats from Malta
I have nowhere seen finer milch gents
than those of Veletta taken round the
streets and the goats milked at the door
of each house The finest are white
with small ears and pink udders reach
ing almost to the ground Comparative
ly speaking they give a larger quantity
of milk than cows and the goats are
much more economically fed than cows
n Calcutta there is a pretty small goat
a sort of toy goat which gives good
milk The inhabitants prefer goats
milk with their tea to cows milk and
those who have tried it think so also
Then on the highlands of Naples and
Borne they have a milch sheep from
the milk of which the famous Ricotta
cream curds is made London Spec
