It trains them to be useful, not awkward, in later and more important affairs; it gives them occu pation while they are small, and it really is an assistance to the mother in the end, although she always feels dur ing the training period that it is much easier to do the thing herself than to show another how. This last excuse has done much to make selfish, idle, un handy members of an older society, and should be remembered, in its effects, by the mother while her little ones are be ginning to learn all things, good and bad, at her knee. Occupation makes happiness, and occupation cannot be acquired too young. A Capacity for Tears. A capacity for tears abundant, warm and ready ones is, says a physician, one of the surest preservatives of femi nine beauty. It is a grievous mistake to think that tears can injure the sweetest eyes or dig furrows in any face when their rain is fresh and most frequent. They are the natural outlet of emotion, a sort of liquid lightning rod in which excitement and passion is most easily and rapidly dissipated. Sweet Alice, that wept at a frown, re tained until late in her career rounded contours, unfurrowed brows, dimpled lips, shining eyes and her hair so brown. So do nearly all weeping women who can let rivers of hot, salt tears course down over their cheeks. It is she who keeps up a power of thinking who has few tears to shed, and these flow with an effort whose facial lines and gray hairs come early. A capacity for tears, says the lloston Journal, is worth cultivating, since not only does a lack of them score heavily against one's freshness of face, but has its marked effect in general tempera ment. The women who weep easily have correspondingly light hearts, ten der, demonstrative and impulsive ways, and a charm the dry-eyed women lack. -Chicago Herald. Milk In tbe Sick Boom.

Fresh cut green bone as an egg pro ducer is attracting -deserved attention from all our progressive poultry grow ers. In addition to producing a large increase in eggs, it is thought to stim ulate and invigorate the fowls during the molting period. Broiler raisers say that chickens mature much earlier when fed liberally with cut bone. The phosphate of lime, the nitrogenous ele ments, the rich juices so abundant in a soluble and easily digested form, which are almost wholly lacking in dry bone or scrap, may perhaps account for such results. To derive the greatest benefit it is essential that the food be Treshand sweet. In order to insure this, a bone cutter is a necessity, and where large flocks are kept a good one will soon pay for itself in eggs alone. HOOD'S ON TOP. A Mammoth Edltioa of Beautiful Cal endars for 1805. I From the Lowell. Mass., Morning Mail. Hood's calendar for 1895 may now be obtained at the drag stores and every one who gets one secures "a thing of beauty." Indeed, in the novelty of the design and the exquisitcness of the coloring, the calendar surpasses all previous issues, just as Hood's calen dars have for many years surpassed all others. The calendar is formed in the shape of a heart and is ornamented with two beautiful child faces which have always been charming fea tures of Hood's calendars. On the right is a representation of "Winter,' the sweet little face with light brown eyes peeping out from a dainty cap, while the snow flakes are falling all about. The face on the left is a picture of "Summer," and is lighted with blue eyes and the head covered with bright flowers. The shades are perfectly blended, and the whole picture is surrounded by a tasty border. The design was made bj Mivs Maud Humphrey, one of the most gifted and celebrated water color artists in the country. The calendar gives the usual information concern ing the lunar changes, and upon the back is printed a table of astronomical events especially calculated for C. I. Hood & Co. The calendar is issued to advertise Hood's Sarsaparilla, Hood's Pills and the other preparations of the firm, and is re garded as most difficult to manufac ture, its novel shape being such as no other concern has ever undertaken to produce in large quantities. It was necessary to purchase several addi tional machines especially for this job, so that there was a very large amount of machinery and a whole regiment of ronle employed in this branch of the exieiiMVc business -i the big laboratory in Lout.L lliirm the five months when the calen dars were being made there were actually employed evry day in this part of the work at the laboratory six printing presses, one bronzing ma chine, four eye letting machines, seven wire stitchers, eight large paper cutters and 162 persons. At the beginning of the work this large force was able to produce about 100,000 calendars a day and for several weeks toward the close the daily production amounted to 140.000 calen dars. The edition of Hood's calendars for 1S9." was 10,.0..000. or about 2..VJ:), 000 more than last year. This, of course, is an immense num ber, but the general reader lias only a faint conception of its magnitude nut 1 he is reminded that the little .'.00.000 added to the ten millions is considered an enormous edition by many of the largest advertisers in .he world. If the calendars were laid down in a single line, they would reach almost one thousand miles, and if the differ ent pieces in the calendar pads were laid in this waj they would extend almost three thousand miles, or from New York to Liverpool. For the past eight years, Hood's calendars have ex ceeded in number everv similar publi cation, but it was hardly dreamed that they would ever come up to the mam moth edition which was demanded this year. Lowell haslongbecn proud of this great industry which has given her al most a world wide reputation, and it is a matter of no small importance that so many of her people find pleasant and profitable employment in the work of making and advertising the great blood purifying medicine, Hood's Sar saparilla, whose actual cures in every part of the country have been the won der of the medical profession and have caused .many hearts to overflow with gratitude. Those who are unsble to obtain Hood's Sarsaparilla Calendars at the drug stores should send six cents in stamps for one, or 10 cents for two to a 1 Hood & Co., Lowell, Mass.

Some Up to Date Hlata .About Cultiva tion of the Soil and Yields Thereof Horticulture, Viticulture and Mori culture. Oata and Vetches. Referring to the number of Nov. 7, I notice that the at tention of readers is called to a mixed fodder, consisting of a mixture of vetches and oats, which, as stated , is extensively grown in Canada and Nova Scotia. This same mixture, to which is sometimes added a sprinkle of barley and peas, is very common in Germany, where it is grown on almost any farm. It is especially grown in large quantities on the large dairy farms in Schleswig-IIolstein. The com mon vetch, if grown alone, is unsatis factory. It docs not yield well. It either grows scanty or rank, according to the conditions of the soil, climate, etc If rank the vines are not so well liked by the stock, and growing from 6 to 14 feet in length and laying flat on the ground, arc very troublesome to mow. The vetches and their vines taste bitter, and if fed freely to cows, will give to the butter a bitter taste and tend to stop the flow of milk in cattle, sheep and marcs. If the vetches arc mixed with oats, these properties become, however, very valu able. It is well known that ground oats fed to cows will cause a good flow of milk, though at the expense of A FLEMISH flesh, but by mixing the oats in proper portions with the vetches, the de sired icsnlts will be obtained. The vines of the vetches are very nutri tious, especially when properly cured, and make, mixed with oat straw, a good fodder much liked by all kinds of stock. In order to make a good crop, the common vetch requires a cool and moist climate and a well prepared, low, moist and humus soil. On high, rather dry and light soil, the vetch does not thrive well, and it requires a liberal application of well rotted ma nure to grow it in such soil. The pea gives on this kind of soil decidedly better results. If a good growth of the vines is desired the vetch or mixed fodder should be first in the crop rota tion after the application of manure; if the yield of the seed is the principal object it should be second. For in stance, crop rotation in Schleswig IIolstein: 1. Summer fallow, manured. 2. Wheat. 3. Barley or oats. 4. Mixed fodder, manured. 5. Oats. 6. Clover, one cut. 7. .Pasture. 8. Pasture On a large farm of 3,000 acres near Berlin, where 150 cows were stabled the whole year, 200 acres near the cow stable were selected, to raise the necessary green fodder, with the fol lowing crop rotation: 1. Mixed fodder (heavy manured). 2. Rye. 3. ISects, turnips, etc., (manured). 4. Oats. On a farm in Mecklenburg, where Ihc yield of the seed was the principal object, the mixed fodder stood second after the application of manure. 1. Summer fallow (manured). 2. Wheat. 3. Mixed fodder. 4. Oats. etc. The proportions in which vetches and oats have to be mixed foj seeding.dcpend upon the results which it is desired to obtain. If it is intended to cut the fodder green to be fed to stock in summer or for making hay, the vetches should predominate; if in tended to be fed as grain, the mixture should contain sufficient oats for the support of the vines of the vetch. The sun will have more access to the leaves and vines of the vetch with a corre sponding increase of the quality and quantity of the seed.In the former case 2 bushels of oats and 1J bushels of vetches is a good mixture, or if the soil is rather light 2 bushels of oats, 1 bushel of vetches and 1$ bushel of field peas; in the latter case, 3 bush els of oats to 1 bushel of vetches can be recommended. Where summer rye will grow, part of the oats may be substituted by it. For light, sandy soil, summer rye and peas give excel lent results. Different varieties of grain if sown in combination do not generally yield as much per acre as does a single variety, because the pe riod of ripening in each may be differ ent. The fodder is harvested when the grains of the prevailing variety are ripe, and, therefore, the mixture contains grains which have not en tirely ripened, and those just develop ing. However, mixed fodder is a pretty certain crop, for a variety of plants with different demands as to the elements of the soil, do easier find the necessary food for their develop ment than a single variety does; and then a mixture of plants is always preferred by all kinds of stock, and if the mixture has only passably well grown the soil is in a good condi tion for the reception of the seed for the next crop. Where help can be ob tained in winter at reasonable wages, it will be advantageous " to flail the mixed fodder instead of running it through a steam thrasher On the large dairy farms in Schleswig-Hol-stein,from two to four laborers, accord ing to the size of the farm, commence to flail in fall as soon as the cows are stabled for the winter, to keep them supplied with mixed fodder and oat straw. By flailing all the most nourish ing parts of the vines, as the blossoms, leaves, fine stems, etc, are preserved, ' 3aMwBIMBaalLaaaaaaaaaaaai I feJHR-g'-tiSgsX j ikfl t.'A-JL HLBS' dlaBBBBBBBBBBBB rSSSBBBBBBai t igjw ji" fy r ri . iuo j?mkmm5SbIBi .

Considering the value of mixed fodder, it should be one of the products of every farm. It can be fed at-all seasons either as green fodder, or hay or ripe, and it will yield good returns, when almost any other grain on account of unfavorable weather, fails to produce a fair crop. Henry Winckelmann in Farmers1 Review. 'orthwestern Iowa Horticulturists. The annual meetinp of the North eastern Iowa Horticultural society was held in Mason City, Iowa, Nov. 37, 23 and 29. In spite of the short fruit crops the past season, there was a very fine display of apples on the tables. The attendance was large and all were hopeful for a better crop next year. Officers were elected for the next year as follows: President, W. A. Burnap, Clear Lake; vice-president, J. M. Elder, Concord; secretary, Elmer Reeves, Waverly; treasurer, Eclson Gaylord, Nora Springs; director of First district, J. H. 'Mitchell, Cresco; Second district, C. F. Gardner, Osage; Third district, S. W. Ferris, Hristow; Fourth district, C. H. True, Edgewood. Hampton was selected as the next place of meeting. We present some points gleaned from the papers and discussions: Several strawberry growers com plained of damage from white grub. The best way of avoiding this trouble ap pears to be rotation of crops. Only two crops should be taken from the same patch and some growers take only one. The ground should be well cultivated DAIRY COW. FROM THE FARMERS' REVIEW. the year before planting and kept clean. Fall plowing is best in pre paring the ground. Warfield retains its hold on popular favor, with Beder Wood as a fertilizer. Several growers -.poke highly of Michel's Early as a fer tilizer, others said it was not produc tive enough. C. G. Patten of Charles City told of a row of plum trees in a garden where they were well cultivated throughout the season. These matured a full crop of fine fruit in spite of the ex treme drouth, while in another row cultivated only once, the crop was much inferior and nearly all dried up. G. A. Ivins of Iowa Falls urged the value of frequent renewal of bearing canes of grape vines. Canes should be cut out at four years old and re placed by young canes from the root. This makes winter protection much easier than with old stiff canes. By this method of pruning and by laying down and covering vines with earth for winter protection, he has had good success in raising several of the Rogers' hybrids, especially Gaertner No. 14, Barry No. 43 and Agawam No. 15. All of these are of choice quality; the vines must be planted intermingled in vinery and with other varieties such as Worden and Concord to insure proper fertiliza tion. For the main crop for market the re ports showed that Worden, Moore's Early and Concord are still most in favor. Janesville has many friends as a very hardy variety that will bear without winter protection; some con demn it on account of.poor quality, but it is good for culinary use and fairly good for eating out of hand when fully ripe. All the discussions and reports showed the necessity of very fre quent cultivation in seasons of drouth. In many cases this cultivation makes the difference between a good crop and total failure. Winter protection of small fruits was also strongly insisted upon. Raspberries and blackberries should be laid down earlier than is usually supposed. Mr. Wells had laid them down early in October after growth stops and after the first two or three frosts. The canes at this time are much more pliable. A spade ful of earth should be re'moved on the north side if plants are in north and south rows, the canes bent over to the grouml and covered entirely with earth. They should be bent in the root, as the canes themselves can not be bent much. Ancient Briton black berry is best, as it is much easier laid down than Snyder. The Older black cap raspberry was highly recommend ed, although some complained of its weakness of cane. Shaffer's Colossal, although suffering in dry seasons, is still considered a profitable variety. D. .7. Purdy, after traveling over many parts of the west, urged that not enough trees are being planted to sup ply the coming demand for apples. Fruit in abundance is essential to health. We must have more fruit or more doctors. M.H. Nickerson of NoraSprings.in a paper on Orcharding recommended Duchess of Oldenburg, Wealthy, Hibernal, Whitney, Tetofsky, Me linda. The discussion added Long field, Anisim, Patten's Greening and several others. "The cheapest way to obtain an evergreen windbreak" was discussed by C. E. Gardner of Osage. This way is to get two-year nursery grown seed lings and grow them in beds four feet wide with raised edges so as to permit perfect drainage; plant ten to fifteen trees in a row across the bed and rows eighteen inches apart. Set plants with a dibble Don't water,but hoe them very often. Scotch pine makes the most rapid growth. When two to three feet in height remove to permanent posi tion, taking care not to expose the roots to the air and sun. A very few ininutes' exposure of roots to wind and sun is often enough to kill an ever green. The sap is resinous and once dried no amount of soaking will restore it to the normal condition. In a paper on 'The Future of Our Native Plum" by Prof. J. L. Budd, the great advances made in the culture and improvement of our native plums were described. Some of the best var ieties for general culture are Wyant, Wolf, DeSoto, Hawkeye, Cheney, Keith, Forest Rose, Milton, Maquo keta. It is found that they find a quick sale on the markets in competition with the best European and Japan varieties. Such choice natives as those mentioned have been the outgrowth and selection from the plum thickets in a few years, and they form a grand foundation for future improvement. Already some fine hybrids with Euro pean and Japan varieties have been originated by Luther Burbank of Cali fornia and at the Iowa agricultural college. "Horticulture in the Public Schools" was discussed by Prof. N. E. Hansen of Ames, who has traveled extensively in Europe studying horticulture. In Europe, and especially in Germany the subject is taught in the public schools. A garden and nursery of fruit trees and plants is connected with every country school house, in which the pupils are taught the ele mentary operations of horticulture, such as budding, grafting, pruning, transplanting and seed sowing. There is great need in America of more gen eral dissemination of knowledge con cerning the culture of fruit trees and plants. A beginning could be made in this country by introducing such read ing matter into the courses of supple mentary reading. Later the school grounds could be planted with suitable trees and plants. Elmer Reeves of Waverly presented a paper on the Sand cherry found wild in many parts of the northwest. The Ssr :- fruit varies greatly and on matiy plants is desirable and useful for cul inary use. This is a very promising fruit and will be greatly improved iD the near future. Farmers' Review. liees and Fruit. At a Farmers' Institute in California. A. J. Cook said: There are a few facts regarding bees which are not gener ally known, and which ought to be understood and appreciated by all, especially in a region where fruit growing is the leading industry. Bees never injure plants while in bloom; in deed, the blossoms exist for the very purpose of attracting the bees, and without the bees or other sweets loving insects to pollinate the flowers, many of our most valued fruits would fail to produce. I have proved conclusively the present season that some varieties of plums, oranges and olives are wholly sterile to their own pollen, or to pollen of the same variety of fruit, while other varieties are largely so. Apricots and navel oranges alone, of all the fruits I have experimented with, were entirely fertile with their own pollen. It is true that other insects than bees will do this work of pollination; but no other insects can be depended upon. Seasonal peculiarities and insect or fungoid enemies may so deplete often will so deplete the numbers of other sweets loving insects that they will be wholly inadequate to this great ac complishment. Bees, if in the region, can be surely counted on to effect pollination, in all such countries of genial sunshine as California. Again, it is just as positive that bees never at tack or pierce sound fruit. If over ripe fruit bursts, or if wasp or bird break the skin, then the bees are quick to sip the oozing juice. Thus the honey bee is not the first aggressor, but the waiting sentinel to discover the leak and prevent waste. There should be no quarrel between fruit and bee men. Each is a genuine and substantial aid to the other. The apiarist needs the nectar secreting bloom of the orchard, and the pomologist must have the pollinating bees to secure the largest fruitage. Concerning New Feeds. New feeds are continually being put upon the market, and the farmer and dairyman should be a little cautious about taking up with them. Gener ally wonderful things are claimed for them, and the buyer is led to believe that he can obtain results that will justify him in paying a pretty price for the feed. He is made to believe that this price is far below the market value of the product. Such represen tations are nearly always falsehoods, pure and simple. There arc doubtless no better feeds than those the farmers already lenow and have used. On this page we print a communication from the Pennsylvania experiment station on the value of a new feed called "cot ton seed feed." We do not know how much the projectors claim for it, but unless the claims were above its true value there would appear little chance of it selling at the price named. As will be seen by reading the article in question, the station sets its value be low that of some of our common feeds, though it costs much more. Manipulating Duchess of Oldenburg. The Rural Northwest says it is as tonishing how many people there are who can be imposed upon in the matter of purchasing fruit trees, mentioning a farmer who bought Duchess of Olden burg from an eastern nursery, paying 75 cents each for the trees. The salesman who sold them led the man to believe that the Duchess was a new and rare variety which could not be obtained from Oregon nurserymen.

A novel method of using coal gas in navigation has been successfully tried at Havre, France, by Mr. Capelle for a syndicate of capitalists. An iron boat of 3o0 tons was builf, a vertical gas motor of forty horse power fur nishing the power. Coal pis, com pressed to a pressure of 1,400 pounds per square inch, is stored in steel tubes placed between decks, nnd a regu lator Bituated between the wis reser voir and the motor reduces tin pres sure of the gas entering the motor t the- flow ordinarily required. Trials have b?en made with the boat in the presence of the Mayor of Havre, and the harbor oflicials. and tLe result was absolutely conelOve This new boat, christened II doe (The Idea), has been over tlu course from Harfleur to Rouen, and behavei' perfectly. It was a source of wonder to all to see her wending her way among the large vessels in port at full speed without roise anl without smoke. Tfce captain has full coufol over the vessel from the bridge. He can change her course, slacken or in crease her speed, and stop or even go backward almost instantaneously, thanks to the reversible screw. Before long a flotilla of sixty simi lar boats will perform a regular ser vice between Paris and Havre and Paris and f'reil. Gas works are build ing along these routes and will sup ply the gas a'Tnrriiiur to the need'; of the service. The cost of power will be more economical than any other; but the chief saving will be effected in the comparatively small room taken up by the motor, allowing considerably more freight to be taken in. A re markable fact worthy of notice is that pure coal gas compressed to a pres sure of as high as 2.000 pounds per square inch does not show an appre ciable condensation. 11 Nature. Elephant nnd But. That a rat should put an elephant to wild and ignominious flight seems more absurd even than that a mouse should terrify a woman; but there may be cases, as a recent occurrence at San Francisco seems to prove, in which a rat has an elephant at a decided advan tage. " An elephaut named Jeis. belonging to a menagerie which was recently at San Francisco, is well known as one of the most docile clephauts in America. She is very large, but has always boon as gentle and manageable as was tho great Jumbo himself, the king of ele phants, who was never so nappy as when carrying children on his back. This being her disposition, .less' keep ers were greatly astonished one morn ing to see her break her chains, rush madly about, upset cages and every thing that came in her way. escape into the streets, and apparently engage in a mad pursuit of people there. Though Jess nppcareu to have 1k. conie suddenly crazy, her keepers pur sued her as best they could, and pres ently found That she really wanted to see them. Then (hey perceived that she was not the victim of rage, but of terror. Her chief attendant, approaching very near, saw s.ome small thing pro jecting from the extremity of her tr.mk. He seized it and pulled It out, and then very quickly threw it away. It was a live rat! This animal had somehow crept into Jess' trunk, and the elephant, had 1km. u unable to get it out. As soon as she was relieved of the mt. she made every sign of gratitude to her keeper, and permitted herself to be led back to her place in the menagerie. t'ninic Locomotives to tay Tlpes. A great engineering scheme made a .-start toward success here to-day. The plan is to lay an 8-inch iron pipe tinder the Detroit river to bring natural ga3 from Canada to this city. On the American si.le at a trencit runnig down to the river. This was lined with a Avooden trough lubricated with soft soap. In the trough lay the main. At the river end of the main was a conical plug design ed to keep the water out and serve as a sort of p'jiwshare for turning aside the soft mud of the river bottom for the main as it is hauled across. Attached to the end of the cone was the great steel cable which had brer, strung across the bottom of the river. On the opposite side of the river was a huge snatch block, through which ran the other end of the cable, and was then attached to three locomotives. By means of tug whistles the sig nal" for the loeoiuoth es to start was made. It took but a moment to hide 400 feet of it in the river. This after noon a second section of .00 feet was attached and the engines again start ed, but they had not gone far before they stuck. Another one was then brought into play, and the four moved along nicely. The weight of the pipe will be l."0 tons or about twice the weight of the aver age locomotive.

Unfortunately t'l.-iceil. Bishop Wilberforce was much b.- loved in Yorkshire, and in Hull the house where his boyhood was spent has always been regarded vrith reer ence. With the Wilberforce monu ment, however, which stands near St. John's church, an absurd incident is connected, one which vastly aiucsed the good bishop. By some unlucky chance the statu" of William Wilberforce the great man on the top of the column, was so plac ed as to face some noted wine and spirit vaults, while its back was turned toward St. John's. Some sail ors saw the joke first and managed to scribble on the pedestal: So, Billy Wilberforce, thou'st left us in the lurch; Turn'd thy face to the ginshop, and thy back to the church!

It is rather late in the season for a diversion that has been introduced by some sportsmen at Plymouth, Eng land, but for the satisfaction of clever fishermen who like to add aquatic sport to catching llsh over here, this is what was done, under the alluring head of "Capturing Human Fish." The angler, who in this vase was a clever s:ilmnn fisherman, fut in :i boat with a salmon rod in hand, and dropped his bait in the water. The hook was taken by an expert swimmer, who attached himself to the line by means of a belt. Then followed an exciting contest. Ihe fisherman played his lssh and had a difficult task to accomplish. The line was stout and the swimmer could not break it. al- though he i Ot foul of several obsta cles at lengtn he was brought close to tiie boat and was landed. This contest was taid to have been perfectly genuine, as both fish and fish erman did their best to win. Next summer try how such tport goes. It has the merit of novelty at all events.
