AGRICULTURAL
Hints That Will Bring
Good, Returns.
THE ANIMALS OF THE FARM
Cattle and Young Stook Should be
Put in the Barn Before Cold
Nights Come On.
Get cattle and young stock to the barn
before very cold nights come on, and do
not allow them to remain oui in com
fall s ormi. After the grass has been
Irost-bitten it is of not much value, and
stock will do enough better in the barns
and vards Ui nav the cost of th" fodder
there. Try to feed them so that ths
cows will not shrink in their milk, or
the others lose flesu before winter. It
mats more to tret back a pound of flesh
or a quart of milk after a shrinkage than
it would to leeu so as w Keep it aim auu
two nonnda to it. The down-hill Mad
ium to lie easv after thev t-tart on it,
and it is not so easy to turn them about
and make them ifuin agair.
Fattening stock cattle, swine or sneep
will now eat more heartily tkan tlyy
would in hot weather and gain more
rapidly than they will in December.
Increase the feed gradually, and watch
carefully, particularly if a hot day comes,
as too much rich food then may cause a
feverish condition, which w ill check fat
tening, if it does not cause a total loss of
annetite. Try to nave mem in a condi
tion to bring a lirst-class price when
sold. Some cattle are so unthrifty that
thev will scarcely pay for good feeding,
and it may lie better to let them go for
what thev will bring man waste good
corn on them, but usually a few weeks
of preparation upon soft corn, pumpkins
and other waste vegetables oi tne larra
will mit them in a condition to digest
more fattening food, and then they will
gain last enougn to pay lor ii. ine
eaves of the beets, carrots, turnips and
cabbages are very good if fed out before
thev are too much wilted.' They can be
packed solidly in a bay or stable in the
tarn, as corn is pacKeu in tne siio, and
if covered up with straw they can he
kept much longer than they can in
heaps npon the ground.
Garden Work.
Something should be done in the
garden ns early as it can be got at. The
asparagus stalks should be cntandtaken
oil the bed. The old wood should be cut
out of the currants, blackberries and
rasplierries, and they should all be lib
erally manured. It is also a good time
to get cuttings from the nest kinds to
heel in this winter and set out next
spring. Even if there are already
enough of them it may pay to make
new plantations and root out some of
the older ones when .these come to bear
ing. The rhubarb nleo wants manur-
ng this fall, and where it has grown so
thick as to make hut small stalks split
the crown of the old root am take a part
of it away to start new beds. This is a
profitable crop, especially in a spring
when there have not been many apples
carried through the winter. The straw
berries need to have the weeds and su
perfluous plants taken out in prepa
ration for the mulching which will need
be done Inter. The material for
mulching should lie gathered together
and made leady againut the time of
neei.
Wherever possible plow up the garden
as fast as the crops are taken oil', nnd
bury all the small weeds as deeply as
possible; larger ones should lie cut and
burned before the plowing. There
ought not to be any weeds going to seed
there, but there usually are some, and
they are more apt to be there this year,
as the farmer has been kept very busy
getting his crops harvested and mark-
ted.
Permanent Improvement.
Such work as ditching and draining
low land, digging out rocks and stumpB,
building walls and fences where needed.
or removing them where not needed, is
always in order if'tlie farmer lias time
to spare for it, and so are the repairs of
buildings and their alterations as neceB
eary to add to the comfort of the people
or the animals who occupy them, or the
ease of doing the work that must lie
dune in them. If dry weather contin
ues, muck mav lie dug from the Bwatups
and put out where it will drain out and
treezu and thaw a tew times this winter.
the muck from some swamps has a
grent deal of decayed vegetable matter,
and Las some value for spreading upon
sandy or gravelly laud, or for using as
an aheoriieiit in barnyards and barn
cellars. It should, however, be dry
and exposed to weather at least a year
before it is used lor either puriiose. in
order to get the acid out of it which has
teveloped when in the stagnant water.
l'n lens it is thus seasoned it is injurious
U) vegetation.
Making Cider.
If cider is made, even though it is In
tended to tie made into vinegar instead of
being used as a beverage, it should tie
made from sound truit. Leaves, dirt
and other substances liable to give an
unpleasant flavor should not be allowed
to go into it, and it should be put into
clean casks. If made early, it becomes
vinegar much quicker than late-made
cider. Tho process of vinegar-niiiking
may be hasteued by allowing it to drip
or run in a small stream from one cask
to another after it has passed tho tint or
alcoholic fermentation. The exposure
to the air. produces the acid fermenta
tion. Fruit rnttilliia.

lie took more beans and more bread
and more lean beef, and with them
several cups of coffee, with a great deal

on the butter. He had poured his last
cup of coffee, and was looking about
for something to eat with It, when his

may seem strange, but tue met is, un

and tastes of those living a thousand

I had not quite expected to And them

among the things brought from a civil

The staple food is seal meat and blub
ber. Next to that is the little Ikh
taken in tbe fiord and dried for winter
use, known to them as the augmutfat,
and to the learned as salmo villosus.
A favorite way of eating the dried aug
matfat is to take it by the tail, poke it
into the oily blubber for a while, and
then chew it down. Awful, isn't it?
It is almost as bad as eating sardines.
There is a deal in a nama Blubber is
disgusting; oil, if for use on a salad,' is
delicious and Indispensable. I have
eaten seal oil and found it (very unex
pectedly) good. I bad supposed it
would have a flavor of fish oil. There
is no such flavor about it It is equal
to the best extract of cotton seed -that
quality sold ns olive oil in all American
groceries. Augmutfat and blubber, un
der a French label, would be esteemed
a luxury in New York as in Arsuk.
For the rest the Esquimaux trade
seal oil and skins to their governor for
three kinds of hard tnck, for coffee,
sugar and tea. They catch arctic cod
fish (misarkornuk in Esquimaux and
gadus navaga in tho books) and salmon
in the seasons. They shoot no end of
gulls, ducks, ptarmigans and the arctic
haro. They have eggs in endless quan

are trapped. Tho fox is to the Esqui

the birds flew over the city some of the

great flock of geese sitting hi the light
of the arc lamp, on the corner of Main

case, and would probably never have
happened if it had uot been for the

The Parkenions and Ackluys pasture
their cows in the same lot Saturday
night these cows did not come, up to the
bant as usual, and after waiting a reason
able time Mrs. Tlioums Parkerson and
Mrs. Elhridge Ackicy started out to find
them. It was almost sundown when
the women began their quest They
prwhed on, however, and having climbed
the hill had entered a belt of old growth
woods on the edge of the swamp when
Mrs. Parkerson caught Mrs. Ackley by
the arm, crying:
"Oh. myl look!" pointing to the right.
Mrs. Ai klcy followed her advice anddid
look.
"What she saw would make an ordinary
woman faint away, but downcast women
are made of sterner stuff, so when she
saw three bears, a female and two cubs,
she said "Oh. my," too, and both women
went to a pile of cord wood close by and
procured two stout round birch sticks
about four feet long.
The subsequent buttle was short, but
very exciting. The old bear waa lean
and weak. She made a deal of noise,
but when it came to fighting she "wasn't
in it" Two times she moved up and
showed fight, but failing to break
through the waving wall of cluba got
down on all fours and beat a hasty re
treat followed by hor two young cubs.
One of these little bearlets waa very
weak and could not run nearly so fast as
the jDther, so in the course of ten or fif
teen minutes the old mother bear and
the stronger cub were out of sight, leav
ing the poor weak one to the tender
mercies of two wideawake women.
The little fellow waa soon dispatched,
the cows were fonnd, and the tired vic
tors went home to get supper, proud of
their work. Trescott Cor. Bangor News.
Few Organised Working Girl.
The number of working girls and
women gathered into any sort of organ
ization in New York city is, at the widest
calculation, fewer than 6,000. In the
factories which the inspectors visited
during the past year there are 80,000
women employed, and counting those
wiio work at various trades, aa well as
servant girls, the total will not fall far
short of 130,000. This wonld seem to
leave a wide field for the expenditure of
the energies of the Knights of Labor,
trades unions, working women's societies
and working girls' clubs, without dan
ger of knocking elbows. There is, at
any rate, no !car of a dearth of raw ma
terial .
There are various rumors afloat of pro
posed new ceutrul bodies of. women's
organizations. One of these, which will
be composed of delegates from the vari
ous women's unions, . will be affiliated
with the Central Labor federation. The
rumor, however, touches delicately upon
the number of delegates. Then it is said
the K. of L. will try to organize a work
ing women's district assembly. This
will be simply the resurrecting of an at
tempt made by Charles Guy Brown.
who died recently, when he was editor
of The Uuion Printer. It was a flat
failure then, and why it should be more
successful now is not apparent There
is plenty of room, however, for all new
comers who wish to inako experiments.

Worm lo Dried Fruit.
Sometimes after exercising the great
est care iu putting away dried berries,
apples and corn the housewife will in a
few weeks find them infested with
worms. Many methods are suggested to
prevent this heating in the oven just
before tying up in a thick paper bag:
mixing with the fruit a quantity of sas
safras root bark; sprinkling the outside
of the bag with pepper; enveloping the
bag containing the fruit in another of
thick paper, etc All these will some
times fail, and it is therefore necessary
to examine tbe fruit frequently, and if
any traces of the little pests are found to
remove them at once.
The most satisfactory way of doing
this I have ever found is to pour the
fruit into a large pan and place it over
a kettle of boiling water. If there are
ten or fifteen quarts of fruit it will take
nearly two hours before the worms will
come to the surface; then lay over a
handful of strips of paper, and Cover
with a large piece to shnt out the light
As tho heat increases they crawl up on
the strips of paper, which can readily be
dropped Into the fire. If the fruit is bad
ly infested, the paper will need chang
ing several times. The whole process
will occupy three or four hours, Good
Housekeeping.
Just Think of It.
Some of these mannish girls will never
feel just right until they have their boots
blacked, man fashion, on the street cor
ner. And even then they will want to
recline before the window of a liarhor
shop, with a towel pinned about their
neck, to take a bay rum shampoo. Con
sidering how much prettier woman's
garments are than those with which
poor man is forced to take up, it must
be an unreasonable girl whose vanity
cannot find vent in her own domain. It
