A Model Kat Trap. 1 give below, says a correspondent of Farm and Home, a design for a rat trap. Let the boys try It. r.fhe parts arc a box about 9x14 inches, a drop, similar to a churn dasher, a frame over the box and a piece of shingle which is inserted in the slot in front of the box. There is aiso the contri vance to sct it with, as shown in the illustration. Every part should lie planed smoothly. The drop should be made small enough not to touch rr S any other part when falling. A broom handle may be used for the perpendicular part of the drop, and a heavy piece of plank on the bottom of it to make a heavy fall. A little notch is cut in the shingle a little past the middle, and another notch on inside of front of box, half way be tween the slot and top. The thin piece of wood on the string is put into these notches when the trap is set. The end of the shingle in the trap, on which the lait is put, should be raised clear from the bottom about a quarter of an inch when the trap is set correctly. Agiinn'tural flrevittrs.

Ik the history of the farming in dustry in the United States the time has arrived when success depends more on good management than good luck. The result of the recent attempt to raise tea in Uorth Carolina indicates that the soil and climate are favor able to such an industry, but that, owing to the expense of picking and curing, none but the highest grades could be produced profitably. It has always been something uf a wonder to us that more attention was not given to nut culture in this country. In every section of the country some varieties of nut trees will probably grow, and while the variety that may do well in a certain 6ection, may not be very profitable so far as producing a salable nut is con cerned, the tree will be a tree, and the nuts it bears will prove something j for pleasant home consumption. For instance, the black walnut is not very profitable as a commercial nut, but when the tree will grow, it is a good tree, and the nuts arc not to be despised by any means on winter evenings. It would be wisdom to as certain what nut trees will do well in our particular location, and toplanta ew of such nut bearing trees. West ern Rural. LIVE STOCK AND DAIRY. . Fattening Farrow Cow. It is a difficult question to solve to fatten farrow cows economically. Wheat straw serves merely to furnish a coarse fodder to mix with the grain foods without yielding much nutri ment. But if the straw is well cut and the other foods areof good quality we think the following combination will effect his purpose: Fourteen pounds cut wheat straw, 2 pounds wheat bran, 4 pounds ground dam-' aged beans, 4 pounds cornmcal and 3 pounds O. P. linseed meal, the di gestible nutriments of which are shown in the following formula, in pounds: Albami- Cnrbo- noids. hydrates. 14 pounds cut wheat straw. .0.11 5.01 2 pounds wheat bran U23 0.92 4 pounds ground beans 0.8 J 2.00 4 pounds cornmeal 0.35 2.52 3 pound O.

This is a well-balanced milk ration, and if these cows arc in good, fair condition should make good progress in laying on fat, as well as yielding rich milk. The average yield of butter for a lot of good farrow cows on this ration should be between four and five pounds per head per week; but C. has not, ITlYP.n ailV dptu-rintinn uf hie rna-c rby. which any closer approximation can be made.

Thousands of farmers still feed good fodder from the ground without racks in all weather, says a writer, and let their colts and bther young stock run over the farm aud pick their living from fence corners and stalk fields. An equal number waste quantities of coarse fodder every winter, wL:ch, if properly economized, might do much toward supporting stock well sheltered. Why don't more of' us apply some of the good advice given us apd work systematically on .this feeding problem, buy less hay and more cottou-seed meal and lay up money? Many of us are too lazy to even try a balanced ration. We" act as if afraid to adopt something a a little out of our usual rut There is nothing very fearful about four quarts of bran and a pint of oil meal, nothingcomplicated, but it will make a cow do better when put on cut, wet stalks and poor hay than the finest timothy.

ORCHARD AND OARDEN. Handling Anptes. Less is really kprjwn about the ap ple crop, and now to grow and handle the fruit, thart aJlnoslariy other prb duet n the farm, potatoes; Wheat, torn and other crops have been studied and experimented with so persistently that most farmers can aiye grjHd rea sons for everything they do concern ing Ih'eni. But apples have been allowed to take care of themselves, and it is only 'recently that thorough efforts to cultivate and improve them have lecn generally adopted. Good crops of apples areas much dependent upon good cultivation add handling as a crop of cord-. Dlir tntes Will pro duce nlore And better frllit when they arc treated as cultivated fruits, and not as Wild trees, transplanted to the orchard. Trees need choice location, they need good soil, mulches, prun ing, scrubbing and similar work. If a good variety of an apple is obtained it can be made to produce excellent fruit, with (scarcely il bodr specinied on it. But this means that the trees must be protected itt winter, and be adapted to the soil and climate. It means that we must study apple dis ease and fungus more than hereto fore, and to give good thorough culti vation. The different varities of ap ples need studying, so that we can select intelligently those specially marketable, and likely to be adapted to our farms. On niahy old home steads dozens of apple trees may be found where poor specimens of fruits are grown. The apples arc bitter, small, knotty and almost worthless, except as hog feed. It is not alone due to the poor cultivation, but be cause the variety is not worth culti vating. Half the apple crop in. this country is not fit to send to the market be cause of poor growth and poor variety, and half of the other half is not fit to send because of poor handling. Yet many claim that there is no profit in apple growing. The market is over stocked, and those sent to the city rot before they can be sold. When we handle our apples as we now do our eegs the profit will be much larger, and when we study the needs of the trees as we studystock raising, we will be blessed with fine trees and good crops. Apples that are well grown and ma tured can be kept finely all winter without decay. But bruised or in jured apples will not keep until the holidays. The choicer the varieties the more care there is demanded to keep them through winter. Many of our fruit cellars smell with mold and decay, and apples can not preserve their naturalness in such places. Cellars where furnaces are kept are, on the other hand, generally too dry. It is not so much .a dry cellar needed, as a ctiol, clear place. - This part of the question needs studying, too, for many good apples are spoiled bj' lack of projier knowledge in storing and. keeping them over winter. "' Horticultural Itnms. The willow, elm, poplar or locust should never be planted close to wells or drains. Before setting out trees of any kind, mark off the ground carefully and set a stake where each tree is to be planted. A few dollars spent in trees, flowers and shrubbery, and a day's time spent in setting them out will enhance the value of man- farms. Do xot gauge the value of trees by their size; young and thrifty trees of moderate growth are always better than overgrown ones. Ik timbered sections many fail to properly preserve their timber lots. It is not necessary to destroy the tim ber lot to get wood. While studying and planing for next year's work, get it firmly im pressed upon your mind that in set ting a tree the mangled roots should lie trimmed with a sharp knife, aud that the fine moist soil should be firmed about them. HOUSEHOLD AND KITCHEN. The Family Vector. Whooping Cough. The following is regarded as an excellent remedy: Pure carbonate of potassa, one scru ple; cochineal, one grain. Dissolve In six ounces of water sweetened with sugar. Dose for a child 4 or 5 years old. one teaspoonful throe times a day, to be taken before meals. The inhalation of air charged with ammonia vapors, as a remedy for whooping cough, has been tried in France with success. One of the metnoos ot application employed is boiling strong ammonia in the room where the patient is. Pound best black resin very fine, and give as much as will lie on a cent in a little moist sugar three times a day, commencing before breakfast in the morning. I have known it to cure the most obstinate cases of whooping cough in three weeks. Burns and Scalds. Mix common kitchen whitening with sweet oil, or, if sweet oil is not at hand, with wa ter. Plaster the whole of .the burn and some inches beyond it, all round, with the above, after mixing it to the consistency of common paste, and lay it on an eighth, or rather more, of an inch in thickness. It acts like a charm; the most agonizing pain is in a few moments stilled. Take care to keep the mixture moist by the ap plication, from time to time, of fresh oil or fresh water, and at night wrap the whole part affected in gutta percha or flannel, to keep the moist ure from evaporating. The patient will, in all probability, unless the flesh be much injured and the burn a very bad one, sleep soundly. , Common . taking soda the bicaEeH oonaic nas oeen iouna to cure mirns or scalds, affording immediate relief -when it is promptly applied. For a dry burn, the soda should be made into paste -with water. For a scald or wet burned surface, the powered soda (or borax will do as well) should be dusted on. Hints tar the Heasahotd.

Mendelssohn was the director of the Gewandhaus. The orchestra did not meet at that time, the concert season having expired. He had thd thoitghtfulness to call it together for me Hnd allowed irie to iear his bedii tifUl Scotch syiHrihdiiy 1H. tHiritfr; He blade me d present b'f the score, with a friendly word of dedication written with his own hand. Alas! the untimely death of that noble genius was soon to transform the souvenir he had left me into a pre cious relic. His death was followed, six months later, by that of the charMiUir sister to wfidm t owed the Horibr ot this acquaintance. Mendelssohn did hot limit His polite attentions to that convocation of the Gewandhaus orchestra. He was an organist of the first order, and wished to make me acquainted with several of the admirable compositions written by the great Sebastiau Bach for the instrument over which he reigned supreme: To this edd he had ex amined and hut id order the did St: Thomas organ, dri which Bach hi ni sei f had played, and for more than two hours he revealed marvels of which I had never dreamed, then, to crown all, he presented me with a collection of motets by Bach, for whom he felt a religious veneration, in whose school he had been educated from childhood, and whose grand or atoribof "The Passion according to St Matthew'' he had directed and accompanied, from memory, at the age of 14! Such was the extraordinary kind ness I received from this delightful man, this great artist, this astonish ing musician, taken away in the flower of his lifeat 38 from the center of admiration which he had won, and from the masterpieces which he would have written, haa his life been pro longed. But strange destiny of gen ius even the most attractive! These exquisite works, now the delight of those who attend the Conservatory, required the death of the composer to give them favor in theears of those who once rejected them. After my visit to Mendclssohu, 1 had but one thought, and that was to get back to Paris as soon as possible. I left Leipsic the 18th of May, 1843. I changed carriages seventeen limes on the way, and out of six nights I spent four traveling, and finally, on May 25tb, I reached, Paris, where a new life was about to open to me. My brother met me on the arrival of the diligence, and wo both beat our footsteps at once in the direction of that dear house where I was to find again, and to which . I was to bring back, so much joy. Charles Francoie GouikkI. in Centurv. Mer Majrstr. Queen Victoria is knggm to us only as a monarch wfioso reign leen unusually long, successful brilliant, but also as the head not has and of a model English home, and a woman full of kindness, sympathy and sim plicity. An American lady visiting in London gives the following de scription of a glimpse of the Queen: The Queen looked much as her por traits had made her familiar to me, but neither photograph nor painting had succeeded in conveying the agree able and satisfactory impression wh ich I received. She came up the pathway to the church with simple, modest dignity, not noticeable for any manner. The royal family occupied a cross pew, a spacio.ns compartment, sunk in the side of the chancel recess. Their maimer during? service was like that which wc have so much reason to admire in all'English' people at church their attention was given to the prayer-book, and, in devout comformity with its requisitions, they sat, stood, or knelt. I had an opportunity now; of look ing at. the Queen more attentively, and I was so placed that I could do so without impertinence. There was an evident earnestness and directness of character, in which feminine miIh tilty had not even its usual propor tion. No one, upon seeing her, un known in a group of women, would have failed to notice her before any other. An expression of settled melan choly was upon her features. She bad the look of one whose life was saddened by a grief so-overwhelming that it had become irrepressible. Wc do not need to revive the cafly ro mance other lite to understand why. Wants to Rary His Own Beaee. This queer story comes from Massa chusetts: "A man who lives in a suburb of Lowell is seeking to have a deed given by him twenty years ago recovered. The deed conveyed his body to a surgeon now practicing in Great Falls, X. II., for the sum of $10 and other considerations, posses sion to be taken on his death. Since the deed was made the giver has made a fortune in South America and has decided that he would like a Christian burial. The deed provides that the 1ody shall be dissected and the skele ton articulated and presented to a medical university. The lawyers have decided that the deed holds good and that the only alternative is to buy off the doctor". The giver of the leed has made a big offer, but it has been refused." A Pathetic Incident. After the adjournment ot the United States Court at Danville, Va., a few days ago, there was a littic scene which was not on the docket. A one-armed old Confederate had been found guilty of illegal distilling and. sentenced to one month's im prisonment and a fine of $100.

That is the child labor in the tenement houses, where a great deal of certain kinds of manufacturing is done, such as artificial hair, dressmaking, mil linery, cravats, rat traps, tobacco, bird cages, furs, feathers, artificial flowers, paper boxes, umbrellas, flags, button sewing and buttonholes. In these tenement-room factories the children may ha worked at the discretion of their par ents. There are certain parts of nearly all these employments wnich may be done by children.
