ChtMlitfr of the Baked Potato. Usually the first vegetable prescribed by the physician for the sick person who is beginning to use solids is a baked potato. A baked potato, however, may be no better than a boiled one unless it be done in so high a temperature that the starch is affected. Boiled potatoes cannot be subjected to a higher temperature than 212 deg. Fahr.

A FEW SUGGESTIONS FOR OUR RURAL READERS. A Device Which Effectually Prevent* ▼«- mln from Infecting Corn Shock*—Convenient Wheel Barrow —An Attractive and Secure Spring Hou»e- Agricultural Note*. Improved Method of Shocking Corn. Sixteen hills in a square of prafrfe eorn are considered a standard shock, writes Fred G ripely, ip the A can Agriculturist Wnen the corn is tall and heavy, sixteen hills make a shock that will stand till soring, if a band of binding or wool twine is tied around it two leet or so below the top. If these big shocks have time to cure well before much rain falls, the fodder will keep bright and nutritious five months, or longer. The principal drawback to this method of preserving corn fodder, is the dec stru tion wrought by rats and mice, which find in these shocks a grand harbor and p'.enty of food. The large size of the shocks and the compactness with whjch they are built, effectually prevent dogs and cats trom getting within them and destroying the vermin. Eats and gophers often honeycomb the ground with boles under and about the

shocks, piling the earth high up inside among the stalks, then when the ground freezes it becomes a difficult job to take the shocks down. Alexander Jones, who annually cuts forty to eighty acres, adopted a device wh ch effectually prevents vermine from Infesting his shocks to any great extent, while at the same time it greatly facilitates the curing of the iodder. The material is pine, all light Ix 4 Inch stuff, and Is fastened together with wire nails clinched They are twelve feet long, yet so light that they arc easily handled. When set up In the field two of them are placed end to end, making the shock twenty-four feet long. The corn is cut with a sled harvester drawn by two horses. A sharp cutter, fastened at the side, cuts the corn wh'ch slides down a guard into the arms of a man who loads it. These “corn-horses” are set a proper distance apart, in a row, and when the sled is Laded it is drawn to the nearest one and unloaded, the corn being set up on either side of the “horse” so that it will stand nearly erect The “horse” makes an < pen space through the center of the shock so that air can pass through freely, ana cats aud dogs can have access to every part of it. When a shock is finished it is bound around with

binding twine, connected together at intervals of about four feet by crossties which are thrust through the shock by means of a poiDte;! stick having a hole thlough its sharp end, similar to a sewing machine needle Two men can securely tie one of these long shocks in three minutes. The fodder in these shocks cures and keeps much better than that in round shocks, while vermine never injure the grain to any appreciable extent. A perspective view of this corn-horse is given in Fig. 1, and in Fig. 2 is seen a corn shock built upon it A ilan<ly Style of Barrow. A tfecp wheelbarrow is more useful than one built on the old plan, because it will hold more, and the work of building such a wheelbarrow is not much greater. Anyone who owns a wheel and irons belonging t» an old wheelbarrow can easily construct one by first procuring two stout

pieces for the shafts and mortising them together firmly just behind the wheel. The next mortise must come two inches from the ground on the legs at A. From this mortise the floor of the barrow must reach forward to B, where it is supported by two false legs mortised into the shafts and rea bing within two inches of the ground. The sides may be solid from the floor up, or if preferred, they may extend only to the top of the shafts, and from this point movable side-boards may extend upwaid The only disadvantage in having the body solid is in being forced to remove most of the load from between the handiea ir one desires he may arrange a movable bottom, which will periuit the load to be deposited without tipping by merely raising the handles—Orange Judd Farmer. To Cut Fallen Wheat. A farmer whose wheat is badly tangled says that any good machine, if run against-the fall, will pic* the wheat up, cut it and bind it, saving all. The field being all cast one way the machine can only cut one way, and has, therefore, to spend half the time walking the held without cutting. This may he avoided bv turning one half the field of wheat back and facing it the other way. Take a pole twelve feet long and four inches in diameter, place crevices in it three feet from each end; tie ropes and hitch one horse to it—one hoy to ride the horse—place the fallen wheat at the fence on tne side to —hi,.a t.k* wheat has fallen ever the*

acle for flying leaves and dust, while in winter it is filled with snow that frequently has to be shoveled out before water can be obtained. Then, again, an attractive little house over a well or spring adds cons derably to the appearance of a place, and this is not a valueless factor by any n eans. The little house shown In the sketch could easily be built at odd moments and ata trifling ex> ense, as it is low and but six or seven feet square. The sides should be made of matched boarding, with lattice-work windows on one side and in front, Into which windows may be fitted for winter use. The roof should be shingled and stained, with a contrasting sta n upon the walls. The foundation should exclude vermin and small animals.

It pays to line cake tins with buttered paper, as the cake never sticks to the pan. A peck of fresh lime in a damp cellar absorbs moisture and prevents malarious troubles. Have yoa cut out all the cases of black knot in the plum trees and cherry trees? This is a trouble that means exterminat on if neglected. A Canada fruit grower says that he found a remedy for the curcullo in merely hanging cedar branches in his plum trees at blossoming time.

' Make up a Ust of tbe bolts,, nuts, screws, and amall tools that you are in constant need of, ana buy them in one lot, and put each in a well-ar-ranged series of pigion holes and keep them there.

This following from a poultry writer is good advice: Get a barrel of lime and iet it air slack; scatter occasionally about the fowl house and runs It is a gr at absorbant of dampness, removes odors, keeps oil vermin, tends to keep everything sweet and clean, ana is very healthful for the fowls. The advocate of turning cows out everyday for exercise should watch a good cow in b good pasture this summer and see how much exercise or rather, bow little, she takes, f-he wll feed far enough to satisfy her appetite, and fcen go far enough to find .so me favorite spot on which to lie down and ruminate, but no farther willsbe go, except to seek for drink. Turkeys do not fatten well in confinement, says a writer. A week or ten days is as long as they can bo cooped without loss of couditiou. The best plan is to feed abundantly twice a day with corn, and then pen for one week before marketing. If the turkeys will not appear promptly at feeding time don’t grieve about-it. they are getting plenty outside and will flesh up all the same. The Farm and Fireside says that bagging crapes as soon as the bloom has fallen will prevent rot. The fruit is much more beautiful when grown in bags. One pound manilla bags are used. The bag is opened, drawn carefully over the bunch and pinned ahove the cane from which the bunch is growing. This method of p otecting grapes is advisable wbere'one has oniv a few vines. \ Kerosene emulsion can most easily be applied to stock to destroy lice and prevent the attacks of the horn fly by using the sprayer, which is designed originally for applying spraying mixtures to fruit trees- A hand sprayer is most convenient, and with a small nozzle a very small quantity will be sufficient, whereas by band and sponge .application the worn will require much more liquid and take much more time.

The cow pea, also known as the "crowdor,” grows on any land that will produce corn, and will also grow on land that is too poor to produce some other crops It is a leguminous plant, drawing nitrogen from the air, the same as does ciovcr. It is an excellent renovat.iDg crop Sow the seed broadcast, or drill them in, and when the plants are of sufficient growth plow them under. The best period for si doing is when the pea pods are beginning to iorm. The sugar beet has not given as good results in this country as a source from which to obtain sugar as io Germany, but improvements are being made very lapidly. The use of sulphates instead of muriates of the potash salts has been found an advantage, aod implements, are being invented for greatly lessening the labor required. In Germany the sugar beet produces 10 percent of its weight in sugar.

NOW THEY ARE HERE.

MILLIONS OF LOCUSTS APPEAR IN SOME SECTIONS. Both the Seventeen Year and Thirteen Tear Specie* Come from Their Lons Re*t Under the Ground—The Mo* t Remarkable of All Destructive Insect*. Where They Will Be Worth The year 1894 is a peculiarly unfortunate one for tbe farmers, in that it Is tho year for the appearance of both the treventesn-year and the thirtoonyear locusts. There will bo no failure bn the part of the insects to carry out the program, either, a. 3 both armies have already begun to arrive after a rest since 1877 or 1881 according to the species. The floods in the We>t§nji tne untimely cold weztlror in tho East have tended to defer the coming of these buzzing armies, but in almost all of the States they are beginning to form tboir lines of battle, and the people apprehend the beginning of the siege. All of the places overrun with the e two ftjmies jn 1877 and ar i Alive with tneir songs or will he in 5 Veek or two, since a'l a r ong the route of thoir last invasion they planted their eggs in the branches of the trees. The Government Entomologist’s report of the locusts’ depredations durf-g those seasons are ujed as hor scopes in which to read this year's probabilities. Accordingly, the 17-yoar brood will invade tho whole northern part of the country, especially in certain sections, beginning in the vicinity of Sohuvlcrville and Fort Miller, N. Y., ajonglpth sides of the Hudson, extending into Connecticut, across New Jersey, into Pennsylvania, striking Indiana, Michigan, Maryland, District of Columbia, V irginia, and North and South Carolina. The records of 1825, 1843, 1860, and especially of 1877 are abundant, stating the severity of tho plague in all of those localities, and old farmers can remember thoir trails in those years. The dividing line letwcon the two armies is about latitude 33 degrees, except in Illinois, whore it takes a turn north, including that Stats in the tsrritory which the l.’-year brood will visit. Southern Illinois, Missouri, Louisiana, Arkansas, Indian Territory, Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabama, Georgia, North and South Carolina and Texas will all feel the Southern brood Bevere’y. Just how destructive the in ect is seems to be a disputed question. Tho

entomologists insist that while underground, though subsi-ting on tbe roots of trees, they rarely do much damago. and that duiing their life above ground their appoiite is not ravenous; that tbe damage wrought is not in what they eat, but it is the puncturing of the branches of the trees by the females in making nests for their eggs They have a tendency to attack th« topmost branches, and as a result tress subjected to their ravages speedily take on tbe appearance of those represented in the illustration in this article. In those sections where they have already appeared, however, the results seem to belie tne statements of the scientists, for the trees and plants and even the grain crops show discouraging evidences of their ravages. In some fields in Eastern New York tbe locusts are found to average more than one to the square foot. I rom a dozen to twenty of these creatures can be found on a single long blado of gras •■. The locust has innumerable enemies, but all combined do not seem able tto make any appreciate inroads on the vast hordes. The crows, sparrows and other winged gleaners of the fields feed upon them, as do the domestic

fowls and hogs. The Agricultural Department urges the farmers to turn their fowls and hegs into their orchards, thus iniuring the destruction of millions of the female < before they can reach the trees. Once the insects reach the trees there is no preventive. Lye, whitewash, sulphur, carbolic acid and a hundred other chemicals have been tried in vain. Because of its peculiar habits the locust, or cicada, has provoked much superstition. The letter Won each wing is said by the ignorant to forewarn the coming of war, a superstition strengthened by the fact that the insects a peered in great numbers in lf6o, at the breaking out of the civil war.

BAPTISTS IN SESSION.

Enthusiasm Manifested When the Convention Was -Called to Order. The BaptLt Young People's Union’s fourth annual convention met in Massey Hall, Toronto. The hall is a magnificent structure, capable of seating 5,001) r ule, and was a gift to the city from A. Massey, one of Canada's wealthy manufacturers. The building was taxed to its utmost capacity. At least 8.000 people tried to get into Massey Music Hall, when it cduld only hold 5,000. The consequence was that tho Metropolitan Church was pressed into service in order to accommodate the overflow. The first sign of enthusiasm was when the Maryland delegation, nearly 200 strong, entered the hall 6inging “Our Maryland.” The whoie audience rose and cheered the delegation again and again. The Chairman, J. A. Chapman, of Chicago, called the meeting to order. He reviewed tne work of the past year and congratulated the deleiatss on the splendid success attained. Addresses of welcome were presented on behalf of Canadian Baptist societies by D. E. Thomson, Queens Counsel, Toronto, and Rev. Dr. Elmore Harris, of Toronto. President B. L. Whitman, Colby University, Waterville, Me., responded. The tpeech was full of declarations of undying good-will between Canada and the United States, ienti-' mrate which were vehemently cheered.

Rsr. Dr. FfiffitL. Wilkins, of Ch’cago, presented the annual report of the board of managers. The report, which was a long document, referred to aU the departments of the union. After dealing with the work of the union the managers submitted a series of by laws by which the union t can be incorporated in Canada or any State of the Union. At the afternoon session Mayor Kennedy cordially welcomed the delegates to Toronto. Among those who spoke during the meeting were Governor Northen, of Georgia; Hiram B. Swartz, of Wooster, Ohio: Dr. McArthur, pastor of Calvary Church. New York; I)r. Moorehouse, Secretary of Missions. New York; Drs. Mabie. Cullev and Hall, of Boston; Dr.-.

SENATOR GORMAN

Mr. Gorman, of Maryland, who had j been a champion of Democracy for j years in the Senate, aha who is ndw the caucus leader and chairman of the partv i teering committee, donounced President Cleveland in a spooch which lasted nearly three hours and which was remarkable throughout for its skill and its bitterness. The galleries wore packed to the doors, and to great was the interest in Mr. Gorman’s speech that the members of the Hou o tlcoked to the Senate end of tho Capitol, and tho House, being unable to hold a quorum, adjourned. Mr. Gorman, with a frankness that amazed those present, dlscussod party secrets, opened the door to party caucuses and Hashed his search-light Into too dark cornors of party history. Tho President was assailed with keenness and vigor by the loader of his party on tho floor of the Senate. He defended tho Senate tariff bill and its pioparation, and charged that both Mr. Carlisle and Mr. Clevo and were not only awa.e of the concession! made in that bill to procure it! passage through the Senate, but that Mr. Carll lo had been consulted at evdry step, and that Mr. Cleveland hud sanctioned all tnat was done. Mr. Gorman was at his best. Ono by one ho called Senators Vest, Jones and Harris as witno ses to tho truth of his statements. Then, having freed himselt from all restraint, he told the inside hist ry of tho conference over the tariff b 11. He even went hack and told the secrets of the Mills bill and the St. Lout! and Chicago platforms, and tho demand made upon the National Democratic Committee by the sugar Senators in 181)2.

His i) r onal attack on the President was full of the most 1 ensatkmtil characterizations. He told now ho had dared, when , other men falterod, to walk with Clev eland through the “tilth and slime of the campaign of H-84;” how he and his eol-eaguos had fought tfor tariff reform “when onwards in high places would not show, thoir heads, how Mr. Cleveland had tried to “gibbet the Senate before tho oyo.s <>f the country,” and said that his action must be attributed to ‘'consuming vanity”—an action that whs echood by those who "chirped when he talked." ’ H‘s roferen.es to the Pi esklent created so much commotion in tho galleries, sometimes of approval and sometimes of disapproval, tbatlhopre iding officer was obliged re[ eatod.y to caution thorn to preserve totter order. Mr. German was listened to with rapt attention throughout his speech, a deep feeling of excitement being printed on every face. Among tho=o who listened mo6t earne tly was S*ir Julian Pauncofote, the Briti h Minister, who was in the diplomatic gallery. In conclusion Mr. Gorman practically warned his colleagues tha, on tho material points it must be tho Senate bill or no bill. Mr. Whit?, of California, was tho only other speaker of the day. While personally in fa/or of free coal and iron ore. ho. too, declared it to be tho part of patriotism for tho Demorrsts to stand together for the S-onato b 11. After he concluded tho Senate adjourned wilh the situation seemingly in as chaotic a state as ever.

A Great Head.

A man with a head two feet one and five-eighths inches in circumforonce, is a curiosity, and when Moses Hall, colored, of Owings Mills, walked into the stoie of C. B. Bates, recently, Mr. Ba es was not a little surprised. At first glance Hall’s head looked as if a 71 hut would fit it. That is an unusually large size, but when the hat was tried on It was too small. Then Mr. Bates bethought him olf of an old Derby which he had in his window off and on for over a year, with a placard stating that It would bo given to any one it would fit. Tne size was 71, which is tho laigost Mr. Bates Ufld sold In all his ten years’ experion o. After some search the hat was found and tried on, but to the disgust and astonishment of the storekeeper It was too small. It rested on tho back of Hall's head ns a 10 year-old boy s hat would rest on that t f an ordinary man. Mr. Hates then measured tho mans head and found that it would require a hat of 88 size. That Is twolve sizes larger than tho averago hat worn by man—Baltimore Amorhan.
