The latest fraud lo lloece farmers is
'the scale shrinker , which has been sold
ii : A'ast numbers throughout the West.
The appliance is made of hardened
stcpl. The end introduced has a raised
portion or lug on one side , which has
: i tenfkucy when introduced 1o length-
c-ii fhp hi'tun so as to cause il to weigh
less than It should. Careful tests with
the device have produced the follow

Making Buillinjr Warm.
Thousands of farm buildings are cold
* iu winter , for the want of some such
protection as thai suggested in the il
lustration , which is from the Orange
.lucid Fanner. Along the inside wall ,
curving out around the studding , is
stretched strong , resin-sized building
.paper. It is snugly fastened to the
. "walls with laths , as shown , the second
course of paper lapping over the first ,
: iml the edges held by horizontal strips
of lath , as at the bottom. Such a meth
od of making old walls tight is very in
expensive , and the result is altogether
'excellent. One cannot put paper under
old .shingles and clapboards , but he can
sheath the inside in this manner , and

can do it so easily as to make the furth

able.
Clover and Timothy Seed.
Glover and timothy seed should ba
sown early. Sow on a light snow , or
when the ground is slightly frozen ,
.about the middle of the month. Sow
fifteen pounds , or one peck , of clover-
seed to the acre. Tiiick seeding will
prevent weed growth. On barren hill
sides and on fields that have had little
: inimai manure cloverseed will fail to
germinate , owing to a lack of plant
food. Spread a thin coat of stable
manure over the land after the seed is
sown. If manure cannot be had ,
spread a , thin coat of straw , and sow
1K50 pounds of kainit and 200 pounds of
bone phosphate to the acre. The chem-
.Ical manures will furnish the plant
food , and the straw will afford a cover
ing for the young seed.
Planning : an Income.
At tJi-e commencement of each season
every farmer should calculate and plan
to make his farm yield him a certain
: ind definite income. There is some
thing almost magical in having an ob
ject in view. Estimate the yield from
the wheat , corn , ami hay. ami the re
turns from the cows , sheep , hogs and
poultry ; then put down opposite to
these the taxes , the insurance , wages ,
feed and repair bills ; by knowing ex-
Jiclly what sum is needed each month ,
JL pretty fair estimate may be had and
it'lie income can be planned accordingly.
Owninjrva. Renting : Iam1.
A great many farmers , when age
obliges them to retire from the active
management of their farms , dislike
very much to sell the place where so
many years of their life have been
spent. To this cause we attribute their
attempts to rdnt their farms , thinking
that they can ftius have something to
say about how the farm should be
managed. But all these rented farms
soon run down , and though the ownei
may get his rent it is at the expense ot
a constant depreciation of property
Selling the farm outright , and taking a
mortgage on it for security , is mucl
safer. Few men who own a farm wil
be satisfied to see it depreciate. Be
sides , the mortgage on farm proper ! ? ,
bears a higher rate of interest than tin
former could make by any other wa >
of investing his money. American Cul

\Vlial the Farm Garden Should He.
The garden should never contain les : *
than half an acre , and better be two
acres. A garden of tin's size can easily
be worked with a horse , .saving much
hand labor , which is required in .small
er plots. If more is grown than requires
for home use it can usually be disposed
of at some near-by market , or to some
neighbor who will not have-a garden.
Or the area can be devoted to potatoes ,
or roots for stock can be increased. Be
ing near the house , it is of easy access ,
and the farmer can spend many half
hours working his garden , when he
would not think of going to the field foi
that length of time.
The garden should contain all the
small fruits , such as berries , currants ,
etc. Plant these in single rows , and fai
enough apart so that they can bo easily
cultivated. The space between can be
devoted to some vegetable , which will
compel working around the shrub. It
the. market gardener , upon lands rang
ing in price from JWU : toSI ,000 pel
acre , can upon half a dozen acres sell
more dollars' worth of produce than
are sold off many large farms , why
may not the farmer grow in his own
garden articles for food that will take
the place of much of the more expen
sive commodities bought in town ? The
garden can not be bad without labor ,
but with less , considering the amount
produced , than is required for general
farm crops. Two and sometimes three
crops can be grown upon the same
ground in one season. "With the addi
tion of a few hotbed sash the garden
can be made to produce fresh vegeta
bles for the table all the year round.
Barb-Wire Cufs.
The following is said to have been
proved an excellent treatment for barbwire -
wire cuts : AVash the cut thoroughly
with cast He soap , using tepid water ;
after washing , spray the wound well
with a weak solution of carbolic acid ,
and then dust over it all the fresh , air-
slaked lime that will adhere. This
treatment should be given every day.
Xo wrapping or covering is needed.
The same treatment would doubtless
be go'od in cases where horses get their
pasterns burned or cut Avith a stake
rone.
A Shovel for Ke liiiri {
Where leaves , chaff and sawdust are
used for bedding , a very large , light
shovel is needed for handling them ex-
peditiously and neat
ly. Such an imple
ment is shown in the
accompanying illus
tration. It can easily
be made in the home
workshop , using half-inch pine boards
for the sides and bottom and 1-inch
spruce for the back , into which the
handle is fitted. Bedding for several
animals can then be taken up at one
shovelful.
Green Bone for
The feed of sliced bone for hens is
much more than so much grit in the
gizzard to enable them to digest their
food. It is itself food of the very best
sort to make eggs , furnishing the gela
tine for the egg and lime for the shell.
Dried , cooked or burned bones are not
nearly so good , as the gelatine has
been expelled from the bone , and its
lime is also in less soluble condition
than while it is in the green state. But
a lien's gizzard is equal to the task of
grinding up almost anything. A diet
of green bone and whole wheat is prob
ably the best of- all for egg production.
The F11 miner's Firewood.
Firewood for the summer should be
hauled to the woodshed and piled up
under cover. When the days are wet
and too disagreeable for outside work
the wood can be sawed , split and piled ,
ready for summer use. The brush from
trimming the trees in the orchard and
the corncobs , if dry , make excellent
kindling-wood , and these should al
ways be gathered and placed handy for
the kitchen fire.
Keep Horses' Manners Clean.
Much dust and soiled food is apt to
accumulate in the horse's manger , and
as he is all the time breathing over it
the manger quickly becomes so offen
sive that much food is wasted. Much
of this feed will , however , be eaten by
cattle , as they will eat freely after
horses. The horse has a more delicate
taste than any other farm animal ex
cept a sheep.
Karly Piffs and Lambs.
Unless a farmer has a warm base
ment barn it is not worth while for
him to have either lambs or pigs much
before the last of March. Even with
sufficient warmth there is not enough
sunlight before March for young pigs.
They will almost inevitably be kept
back in their growth , and probably will
not be any heavier at hog-killing time
than pigs farrowed a month later.
Potato I'eelinjjg.
In almost all farmhouses after pota
toes are peeled for cooking the usual
but wasteful way is to throw them in
the swill barrel for the pigs. They are
very little good for pigs , but if cooked
[ iiid mixed with wheat bran or fine mid-
illings they make an excellent feed for
bens.

phonograph department to the British
museum , in which would be stored in

ealized the Queen < vould be asked to

Wide Tires Abroad.
The importance of wide tires in pre
serving the highways is appreciated in
many foreign countries , and laws exist
prescribing the width of tires that may
be used on the public roads. The San
Francisco Chronicle says ; that "Austria
requires tires for wagons built for more
than two and one-fourth tons to be at
least four and one-third inches wide- ,
if for more than four and onu-half
tons , six and one-fourth inches. Bo
hemia requires a four and one-half
inch tire for two-horse wagons. France
requires tires from three to ten inches
wide ; for four-wheeled wagons tires
are usually at least six inches , with the
front axle shorter than the rear , so that
the wheels do not 'track. ' Germany
requires at least four-inch tires for
'wagons for heavy loads. ' Switzerland
requires one inch of width for each
draft animal , ami six-inch tires for
wagons for 'heavy loads. ' In Canada
the Agricultural Department recom
mended six-inch tires for loads of a toner
or more , and that is probably tiie law. "
A number of States in this country
have passed Avide-tire laws , but even
some States which spend much money
in improving their roads fail to see the
importance of prescribing the width of
tires that will do most to maintain and
protect them. It is a short-sighted pol
icy and one that costs money.
"What Traiisportotion ( osts.
During 1SD7 some $23,000,000 was
collected by street car lines in New
York City , and the amount paid there
in the course of the year for other kinds
of transportation would double these
figures. The same thing , in kind , goes
oil in every city , town ami hamlet of
the land , while the annual expenditures
for car fare by the tens of thousands of
commuters who live in the suburban
districts surrounding the cities in
which they do business would swell the
total to a vast sum. With perfect high
ways , a large portion of this would be
saved to the worker , not only to the ad
vantage of his pocket , but of his health
as well , through the use of a cycle , and
the competition would in some cases
cause a reduction of fares. Perfect
roads and good cycles will revolution
ize methods of locomotion. L. A. W.

Speaking of the roads in Porto Rico.
Gen. Itoy Stone says : "I can only add
to all that I have heretofore said in
favor of the good roads movement , a
warning and reproof drawn from a
country where , except for a few mili
tary lines , no roads have ever been
built ; and where the bulk of the prod
uct of a marvelously rich soil is carried
to market on the heads of men and
women or the backs of diminutive ani
mals. As a result of Ibis neglect , to
gether with other kindled causes , the
agricultural population of the island ,
although industrious and frugal , is so
poor as to be almost ithout shelter ,
furniture or clothing , and entirely with
out supplies of food , so that their tri
fling wages must be paid day by day
to enable them to continue this hope
less existence. "
A Perfect Road ,
A dry foundation ; water effectually
excluded from sides and bottom ; a cov
ering of material so packed and solidi
fied as to shed falling rain , and the
whole maintained in these conditions-
Ibis constitutes a perfect road.

An Odd Apple Problem.
Once upon n time , says a writer in St.
Nicholas , there were two old men wheat
at in the market early one morning
and sold apples. Each one had thirty
apples , and one of the old men sold twofer
for a cent and the other old man sold
three for a cent. In that way the first
nan got 15 cents for his basket of
apples , while the second old man re
ceived 10 cents ; so that together they
nade 23 cents each day. But one day
he old apple man who sold three for
a cent was too sick to go to the mar-
cet , and he asked his neighbor to take
lis apples and sell them for him. This
he other old man kindly consented to
lo , and when , he got to the market
vith the two baskets of apples , he said
o himself : "I will put all the apples
n one basket , for it will be easier than
ricking them out of two baskets. " So
ic put the sixty apples into one basket ,
and he said to himself : "Now , if I sell
two apples for one cent , and my friend
sells three for one cent , that is the same
thing as selling five apples for two
cents. " When lie bad sold the sixty
apples he found he had only 24 cents ,
which was right : because there are
twelve fives in sixty , and twice twelve
are twenty-four. But if the other old
man had been there and each one had
sold his apples su.arately. ; they would
have received 23 cents. Now , how is
that explainedV
FATHER OF AN EMPRESS.
Played Zither for ? ilotiey asrl Sml Hia
s iJangrliier Had Married Well.
The death of the Empress Elizabeth
of Austria has brought out many
stories of her and her family. Some
of the most interesting are about her
and her family. Some of the most
interesting are about her father , the
Duke Maximilian. This man was a re
markably simple and genial character.
Om-e he was making a pedestrian tour
nnd stopped in a small tavern to eat.
He bad a zither with him , and some
guests asked him to play , thinking , > : :
accoi-nt of his plain c'othing , that he
was a strolling musiciniHe obeyed
readily and played everything that be
could think of till coin : ; rained iuto his
hat. Then he ordered a meal that was
so expensive for a strolling musician
that the tavern-keeper b-jcamo suspi
cious that his strange guest intended
to run away after eating without pay
ing. There was hesitation about serv
ing the food , and A\hile the Duke was
waiting a corporal cf one of his regi
ments entered the imi. lie saluted ,
much to the Duke's embarrassment ,
who threw the money for the meal on
the table and ran away , says the New
York Press.
Once the Duke was in a train travel
ing lo Vienna to visit the imperial fam
ily. In the coupe with him was a bank
er , who , misled by his fellow traveler's
simplicity , patronized him , and in the
course of a conversation told him that
he had a daughter in Vienna who had
married veryweIL ; She was , be boast
ed , the wife of one of the richest bank
ers in the city. "So ? " said the Duke.
"Why , that is quite a coincidence. I
have a daughter in Vienna who has
married very well , too : " " "Who Is the
husband of your daughter , my good
m.-ui1" asked the banker , and in his
most harmless tone Maximilian an
swered , "the Emperor of , Austria. "
Crown in Hawaiian IsSaniis.
The soil of the Hawaiian Island is
of a very rich volcanic "nature and near
ly all the plants and trees of the trop
ical and temperate zones may be grown
on it , .but only a small portion of the
land is under cultivation. When irri
gation is perfected there is scarcely a
limit to the productive capabilities of
the islands.
Citrus fruits , oranges , lemons , limes
and grape fruits can be grown , ripen
ing in time to supply the deficiency of
the California market when that gives
out. All vegetables , breadstuffs , man
goes , dates , figs , pomegranates , mul
berries , strawberries , guavas and cocoanuts -
coanuts grow in profusion. There are
hundreds of acres of land which might
be used for cocoanut groves with great
success. Thousands of acres are cov
ered with guavas in the wild state ,
which are falling to the ground ungath-
ored. The fruit makes a tine jelly and
United States capital might make
guava jelly factories profitable.
Celery is grown if the proper soil is
selected. That this vegetable thrives
in a warm climate was proved in
Southern California , where five years
ago not enough was produced to supply
the home market , but on the introduc
tion of skilled methods from Michigan
celery raising has become a great in
dustry. Dairying might be made a
profitable business in the Hawaiian Isl
ands , but at present is neglected.
Good Maxims.
Never be idle. If your hands cannot
be usually employed attend to the cul
tivation of your mind. Always speak
the truth. KCL-P good company or none.
Make few promises. Live up to your
engagements. Keep your own secrets ,
if you have any. When you speak
i person look him in the face. Gouu
company and good conversation are the
sinews of virtue. Good character is
ibove all things else. Listen to neither
loose nor idle conversation. You had
better be poisoned in your blood than
.n your principles. Your character can-
: iot be essentially injured except by
rour own acts. If any one speak evil
) f you , let your life be so virtuous that
lone will believe him. Drink no intox
icating liquors. Ever live , misfortune
jxcepted , within your income. When
rou retire to bed , think over what A on
lave done during the day. Never
speak lightly of religion. Make no
laste to be rich , if you prosper. Small
ind steady gains giA'e competency with
: ranquility of mind. XPVGI- play at any
janie of chance. Avoid temptation
: hrough fear that you may not Avith-
; tand it. OAVO no man anj thing. Never
JOITOW if you can possibly avoid it.
Se just before you are generous.

Tbe boiling of an egg seems one
the most simple of all culinary ven
tures , yet where there is a member of
the family who is distressed if his egg
is not boiled in such a manner , his an
guish is frequently so often repeated
as to become chronic. It is a direful
thing to ask for a soft-boiled egg and
receive one jtrst warmed through , or
for one "well done. " and receive a
stone. The fault usually lies in the
fr.ct that the water is not boiling when
the egg gees in. or that the time is
countul from the moment the egg goes
in. instead of from the time it com-
mc lifts to boil. For a soft-boiled egg ,
two minutis should be allowed ; for a
uic-.Iium eirg. three minutes , and for a
hard boiled < n < \ live minuits. UaAe
the water boiling when the eggs arc
immrit-ed. This will lower the tem
perature. and a few seconds must
i-ai bp before the boiling again com-
mer > < - < . Then cover , and watch the
clock , removing the eggs the second th. ?
allotted time has expired.
