Farm aud Home. Vlnecar from uinuier Applca,' If there were only a larger proportion of sweet lu HiVuiuier tipples, they would be much the best for making into vine gar, as tlie worm weather causes vio lent fermentation, which soon gets Into the vinegar stage, lint It is found that though the feruientatalou Is rapid be cause of the temperature, the vinegar resulting therefrom Is thin and poor. There Is a decided advantage In adding some sugar afier the elder has passed the alcoholic stage of fermentation. It will Increase the sourness of the vine gar, while there will still be the same apple aroma and flavor which makes apple cltler vinegar the best that can be produced from anything. The fall ap ples, eveu those called "sour," have more sweetness lu tueiu than have the best sweet summer apples. The Bus' set apple makes a very rich cider, but It does not ripen until all the warm weather has passed, so It keeps in the alcoholic stage all winter, and is very apt during that time to be drank by cider-thirsty people. The advantage of making cider from summer apples Is Unit hot weather brings It so soon to the vinegar stage that comparatively, little of it will be drank as cider. Anchorinot a Corner. Where wire fencing is used, .whether woveu wire .or straight strands. It Is of great Importance to have the corner or end posts flrm and unyielding. A good way to accomplish this Is shown In the cut. A broad stick of wood Is sunk in the ground and n stout piece of galvau zed Iron wire Is tied firmly about It and stretched ttghtlv to the upper end of AN ANCHORED TOST. the posr, as shown, a corner post will need two wires similarly anchored. Orange Judd Farmer. Tarrlnn t-heep'o Noaea. ' In summer sheep ore apt to be trou bled by the fly which deposits eggs in their noses, and afterwards batches the maggot which burrowH In their heads and often proves-fatal. Sheep are much excited when they find this fly, run ning with their nose close to the grountl and rubbing It Into any loose soil they may rind. Tarring the nose Is the best preventive and always effective If tok en In time. It Is easily done by leaving tar in the field and throwing a handful of salt over it. In their eagerness to get the salt, the sheep will thoroughly coat their noses with tar. It should be renewed so long as warm weather lasts, for the tar will gradually wear off and cease to lie a protection. Turnip FlaTora In Blilk. When cows accidentally get Into a turnip patch, or other vegetables that Impart a bad flavor to the milk. It can be made as good as ever for cream and butter making if It Is heated to a tem perature of 140 degrees. This Is best done by placing the vessel In water which is quickly brought to a slightly higher temperature. All the odor passes off at this temperature, as It Is very volatile. In cooling, the cream will rise to tbe surface. It lo makes the but ter come more quickly than from milk not heated. No Raklnco After HarTeata. Under old methods of harvesting the steel rake wis a very Important ad junct to secure scattered grain. Tet eTen In those days good farmers did not And those raklngs very valuable, a ffJET. i AW an " in nfpmi i n imi m n lM1 zEik ' " they were always stained and often nearly ready to sprout by alternate wet anil dry weather. The new harvesters leave no raklngs, and as what would otherwise be wasted Is thus saved for market, It makes n material addition to thp crop. We know farmers who used to thresh the raklngs separately anil grind them for hog feed rather than mix the stained with the markctablti grain. ' ''turar Corn, .To grow large ears, well Oiled out the snjl must be deep, mellow and heav lly fertilized, The Itest growers spread one Inch of rotted manure In the fur row, and when the corn is six Inches lu height sow iK) pounds of phosphate to the acre and cultivate It lu. Liquid manure Is an excellent stimulant. It is run between tho rows at the rnte of fifty barrels to the acre. Night soil is another valuable manure for this crop; twelve two-horse loads Is the : right quantity to spread broadcast Itefore planting. The manure and soil should be well mixed together. ' Sweet com may 1h plained all through July and up to the loth of August. . .For market or Tor family use, plant every fifteen days. The ground should be deeply plowed and nicely pulverized. Cracked Whent for Yonnn Chick. Some cracked wheat should be given to chicks evt'n before they nre a week old. It Is the best exercise their di gestive organs can have:.'

"' " -' " A .Craqb ;rr Wake, Our Illustration' 'shows "a' i-onvenlent home-made cranberry rake that will greatly facilitate- the picking of these berries, If they ore at all thick upon the ground. The rake has tight side pieces, shown by the dotted Hues, and the teeth are near enough together so that cranberries' cannot drop through. The rake Is taken In the hand In much the position shown In the sketch. The teeth are geutly brought nlojig beneath the berries and then lifted, pulling the cranberries from the vines. The handle is of course Inclined backward as It Is lifted to keep the berries from running out over the front of the teeth. These latter can be light Iron rods bent Into shape by'a blacksmith and sharpened. The back and handle should be of hard wood to hold the teeth tlrnily. Amerl cau Agriculturist. , Farm Horaea 'n Pnntnter. It Is not usually lack of groin but of grooming that is the trouble with farm horses lu summer. If they have o work at this season they sweat more quickly, and will clog lip their skin with dirt worse In summer thnn lu win ter. It Is very uncomfortable for a horse to stand for hours without groom ing while the sweat dries off from him. If thoroughly rubbed first with a dry cloth so as to dry off the moisture, the brush will soon put the horse's coat lu good condition. (Jroomlng a horse is economical also, as It saves bint from being galled. ' ' - " "... AurlcultO'Rl Notes. Insure your buildings against cy clones. Drainage will greatly Increase the value of wet ground. Boots cannot penetrate a subsoil that Is as hard as a stone. The silo will enable tbe farmer to keep more cows profitably. In sections where cyclones are likely, a storm cave shows wisdom. . The hired man should be a gentleman among the children In tbe bouse. Spare the harrow In the early stages of corn growth and spoil the crop. In sections outside tbe corn belt corn can often be profitably grown for the silo. Hay "caps are a good Investment. They will In a wet season ' pay for themselves very quickly. When the surface bakes after a rain, a light harrow should be used, whether the crop Is up or not. Hailstorms are likely anywhere, and Insurance against them Is as necessary as insurance against fire. Eighty acres intensively cultivated are better than 160 acres under tbe too often loose system of farming. For a root that is such unquestion able value to tbe bog, the artichoke gets more hard knocks than It deserves. A Nebraska man protects bis corn from gophers by scattering corn around tbe field for the gophers to feed upon. Do you allow smoking In tbe barn? If you do. Increase your Insurance. That may not be exactly honest, but when a man tries to burn bis barn the matter of honesty will not probably worry him Tho Ag or Deer. Romonoe lias played a prominent part with regard to the longevity of deer, says a writer in Chamber's Journal. What says tho Highland adage? Thrice the ago of a dog is that of a liorso, Tlirioo the ago of a liorso is that of a man, Thrice tho ago of a man is that of a deer, Thrice the ago of a deer is that of an eagle; Thrice the ago of nn eaglo is that of an oak tree. .- This is to assign the deer a period of more than 900 years; ami (lie estimate is supporto yin nyll;li y eirmiHtaii tial stories. I bus. Captain MacDnmild. of Tulloc.li, who died in 177(1, aged 811 years, is said to have known the rliite hind of Loch Treig for 50 years; his father for a like period before him, and his grandfather for (iO years before him So, in 1820, .Macdonald of Glen garry s is reported to have killed a slag which bore a mark on the left ear identical with that made on ull the calves he could oatch by Ewen-Mae-Iiin-Og, who had been dead 150 years. Analogous storiep, it may he noted are told in countries on t he continent of Europe, where deer are to ho found in any number. But alas 1 I lie general opinion among experts would seem to lie that !I0 years or thereabouts is the limit of a deer's life. I'll Hell Htntea Hi'iinle F.mployei. Thirty years ago 70 employes of t lie United Slates senate were on the pay roil. Today the number is 354. The large increase is in proportion not only to the size of the benate, but as well to tiio increase in public liusiiieHS, due to the enormous development of the coun try. It takes more employes to trans act this business. But the number of high-priced employes has not increased in proiortion to tlin increase in the to tal number. Thus, two years ago an $1,800 oierk in the postoftlce was cut off and two. men lit $900 each were added to the carrier service.

A case of a son's thotightfulness and affection for a father has come to light in the navy department, at Washing ton. John Casson and his son, Schley Casson, are clerks in the office of Secre tary Long at salaries until recently, at fl, 200 each. The work of the young man attracted attention, and he was notified of a promotion, with $1,400 salary. Young Casson refused to ac cept, saying that iiis father bad been longer in the service and was more de serving. At the young man's request the promotion was transferred to the father. - - DO WE NEKD II IO Ml SCI.ES? Bv no mean".

A farmingcominunity in which every one of the 145 workers may he expected to drop his hoe or plow handles or her broom or dish tray at any moment without warning, and writhe upon the ground in convulsive agonies, is rather nninnn anions all colonization schemes.

Whether the Shaker sect wasted away for lack of progeny or not, the property was duly acquired by the state of New York, and the legislators at Albany deter mined to collect here another set of celibates, the 900 or 1,000 epileptic rmtientu who wnrp scattered about in almshouses, in asylums for the insane or feeble-minded, and indigent private homes.
