" Cutting rotato Made Four. The preparation Jof no farm seed causes more trouble than that of the potato 'crop. It Is a slow, tedious task and must.be done by hand. This Is usunlly " done , by placing the potato upon a boqrd and cutting It in the size desired. Now this task may be great- alleviated by the use of a device that Is not new. It Is simplicity Itself, con sisting only of a plank, a, ten or twelve jut-lies lu width and two feet In length, nd a knife, b, driven lu one end equal ly distant from either side. This Is placed upon a box," or stool,' and the operator sits astride It. At bis right Is placed a basket, c. containing the whole1 pbtntoes, and In front, Just un- er the knife. Is another basket, d, to ecelve them when cut. The potatoes re ciit" by being pressed agnlnst the knife, one at a time. , At first the per son cutting them need exercise a little care to prevent' his fingers being cut, FOK CUTTINO POTATOES. but with a little practice there will be no danger, find he can cut an amount of potatoes In nn hour that would be Impossible for him to cut In twice that time In the old way. A. R. B.; In Amer ican Agriculturist. - i . How to Fet a Hen. - , Very few people know how to set a hen properly. In the first place, re member that you can't-make her set If jhe doesn't want toj Cut a barrel in two in the middle; then cut out one or two staves, so that when, ils stood on ts enu mere win oe plenty ot room for the lion to pass in and out. Tlaee the barrel on the ground.-witli the headed nd up, and then scoop out the eartfi to a concave, shape and. put In a very little fine hay, and the nest Is ready for the eggs. If It la not convenient to put the barrel on the ground, a grass sod placed underneath the nest will nswer. It Is best to place the hen on few glass or worthless eggs at first, S she may not take kindly to the nest oil have prepared for her. Tlnce Tier an the nest after dnrk nnd she will get customed to It through the uiglit. If she seems Inclined to set after this, she may be given the eggs which are la nded to be hatched. If the hen Is allowed to leave her nest every day a small coop may be placed in front of (lie barrel, and then she will be sure to return to nest. She should always have plenty of fdod. If the above di rections are followed ami the eggs are ell fertilized, a good brood of chickens may be expected. Ex. Potato Fcab. For treating seed potatoes with cor rosive sublimate solution to prevent cab. make a basket as follows: Take rec strong iron hoops, 17 Inches la, diameter, with holes punched every 3 Inches. Inside of these fasten com mon laths. 28 Inches long, with small holts. Place the bottom hoop 1 inch from cihi of latns; make the bottom from a 1-lncb board sawed circular, 10 Inches In diameter, ami fasten to the end of the laths with nails. Iiore sev eral holes In this bottom. Make a bail from a strong piece of wire and fasten to top hoop.. Suspend liy a rope pass ing through pulley overhead. When filled with potatoes It can be easily raided and lowered Into a 50-gnllon kerosene barrel containing the solution, liaise from, the barrel and allow to drain for a short time, when they ca bo emptied Into tho potato boxes. By this method none of the solution Is wasted, and It is a short cut compnred with the old way of tying a suck over the bnrrel and draining the solution from the potatoes. WondchnpiilnE In cprlnr. . It Is too hard work to do much chop. ping after warm weather comes, whll In Kero weather tho exercise of swing ing the ax and bringing down the tree la rather a delight than otherwise. But after the sap starts In the trees it easier to chop or split them than midwinter. A very knotty and tough tree may therefore be left standing un til nature nns tilled it run or sap, though tho wood will dry out slowly, If beech wood Is cut while full of sap it must be kept under shelter, for If ex posed to rains water will soak In ns fast as the sap dries out. Hprlng 'Is the worst time of year to cut wood and have It kept wet, and the abundance of sap It contains Is probably tho rca son. Most timber will keen best If cut In July or August while the tree Is In leaf. The leaves continue to evaporate moisture after the tree Is down, and this soon makes the wood dry. Outdoor Nesta. Of course In winter nests are made In the henhouse. Hens are not apt to be broody In cold weather,- and the short time the hen is laying her dally egg does not cause vermin to breed In It. ' But so soon as warm days tempt the fowls out of doors they should be encouraged to nest outside. About this time too fowls will become broody, and If nllowed to nest In the henhouse they will Inevltobly 1111 It with vermin. If the outdoor nest Is made on the ground the moisture arising from the soil will keep the shell In good condition for the chick when hatched to pick Its way through. Most hens If nllowed any range will steal their noHis, and gener ally bring off a larger hatch of chicks than those for which the poltry keeper has carefully set the eggs. Butldlnsr ftone Piers. Country places are much Improved by entrance posts of cobble stones, but to be attractive these must be laid up Pi with great exact ness. Excavate to the frost line, and setup In the square excavation a box 1 I lr a striintiifa rf iHSif-f boards, one side ';Y coming only to the rgs surface. Fill In to .tfi the top of the '"' . ground with loose rock and soft cement soft enough to run Into all the -wet-Ices between the stones. From the ground up the stones hotild be laid up carefully in cement, the sides of the box permitting the stones to be pushed out to make an ex actly even surface. When the top Is renched the three hoards can be sawed oft at the surface of the ground, leav ing the bottom of the pier encased, which will keep the frost from getting ny lifting -power on the stones. It will lift the boards rather than the stones, When the boards are removed from the portion above ground, can fully dig out the loose cement from between the fnces of the stoucs. New Euglaud Homestead. Fenrnftlnsr Yonntr Orchard.

Regrafllng to better sorts Is a very laborious and expensive proc ess lr tue tree8.nave grown to nearly bearing size, because so many grafts must be set to make an even head. A few sprouts may be left below the grafts to draw the sap, but they must be cut away as soon as the grafts get to growing. A better way Is to take a few years to do the grafting, putting In two or three grafts each spring, un til the entire head Is changed. So much cuttiug away of the top wood will cause many sprouts to start. These must be destroyed ns fast as they ap pear, rubbing them off while the green shoot can be removed with the thumb and finger. Oatmeal for Younsr fhlcken. Laying hens ennnot profitably be fed with whole oats because they have too large a proportion- of hull and are too chaffy to dlpest well. But oat meal that has had Its hull sifted out of it and has been mixed with pressed cur dled milk mnkes nn excellent feed for young chickens. Another good way to feed oat meal Is to mix with water and bake It, breaking the hard pieces small enough so that the chicks can swallow them. These feeds supply all that Is needed to make chickens grow thriftily, nn there will be few sickly chickens if oatmeal prepared in either way ia nade a part of their diet. If variety Is needed feed some whole wheat or rye. Whole grain or meal which has been baked until It is hard is better than any soft food for fowls at any age. Repelling; Borers. One gallow of coal tar, two pounds beeswax and two pounds tallow melted and mixed with flour of sulphur and air slacked lime to mnke it the consis tency of paste. This mixture Is to be spread on strips of burlap and wrapped around trunk of tree about two or three Inches under surface of ground and about same distance above ground. Plipog On July 1, ISilS, when the battlo at El Coney was hottest, a' curious crfmnio- lion n.nong the SpnnlHh soldiers was visible In one of the trenches which deJ fended the town. Toward tho. mlddlo if the day the watching American sol liters on the nearest lliio saw aUiUf- irrown pig come running out of a low thatched building Inside the Spanish trenches, nnd, rounding a corner of the lltch, take to flight outside the trenches In the direction of the American posi Hon. 1 ' " 1 -' Evidently he hnd been lodged .under the thatch-roofed house just behind the trench.

Presently this commotion resolved Itself luto a rush of several soldiers out of , .the trench and lu the direction of the pig. CAl'TCIIINQ TUB KUN A WAT. Soon there were fifteen of them out In the open, in the full sweep of . the American fire. Some of them ran to head off the pig and others pushed up behind to catch him. The pig wheeled nnd dodged, and the soldiers wheeled and dodged after him. Their voices rose In chorus of Spanish shouts. I'p and down went the pig; when a soldier's lr Is wore on him lie would make a .'ist ana wriggle himself away. Once he mnde a long straight ruti to ward the American lines; it did not help him, for the soldiers were after him, entirely uuregnrding the battle. Some of them headed him off again, and In another moment nn athletic young soldier nnd seized urst nis tail nd then his legs. Still nnother mo ment nnd the pig, firmly held, was on his way back to the trenches, riding on the shoulder of this young man, his forelegs gripped by one hand and his hind legs by the other. The soldiers resumed their places In the trench; the one who hnd the pig put him back into the thatched roof building, and presently returned to his own place and took up his gun. It Is safe to sny thnt during the chauc of the pig no Amerlcnu soldier who saw the affair discharged his gun at the goup, The Americans who saw it ere too full of ndmiration and aston ishment to add to the dangers which the audacious Spanlrds were under; but thousands of Americans who could not see the Incident were blazing away lu that direction, nnd the Ppnuuirds ho were chasing the pig must have heard a great many bullets whistling about their heads during their perform ance. - . .

The only- parrota native to the United States namely, the so-called) Carolina parroquets have been all but exterminated. Formerly they ranged in immense numbers all over the south ern states, as far north as Mew York, and as far west as Texas. At present. what few survivors there are can be found only in Florida and in the Indian territory. Their destt notion has heen due largely to a peculiar .lack of tha instinct of presotvation. .They in-, dulged a misplaced confidence in man, and oould never learn to protect them selves ih anyway. Moving -in great flocks, they would sit on a tree, as thiok as berries on a brush, so as to offer a special invitation to persons wlioi delight in bird-umrder . tor tlio. were sake of slaughter. The wiping out of thousands was an easy matter for a man with a gun and a little powder and shot. These parroquets have been utilized toacompatatively small extent in the millinery ttade, thoii destruction having been accomplished mainly for' no other purpose than to gratify man's instinct to slay.
