FARM AND GARDEN. AN EXCELLENT BROODER. !Sketch of One That Has Been Used to ; Considerable Advantage. . We give an excellent brooder by Mr. 'D. M. Palmer, of New York, in this issue, as used by him the past season. 'Tt is 4 feet long, 22 inches wide and 18 ‘inches high on one side and 24 inches 'high on the other side.. The box for ‘the lamp is 12x16 inches inside. The ‘brooder box has an open bottom, but the cover fits tight, the top having two or three inches air space overthe tank, should the top be level. The watertank (Fig. 2) is made of galvan‘ized iron, 1 inch deep and 12x54 inches. The stand-pipe is 8 inches long, made large enough to insert the neck of a ‘quart bottle in the top. Any house lamp can be used, the top of the -chimney being half an inch from the underside of the tank. The tank is‘ covered with cloth or bagging, sewed on close and tight. The mother is a frame, made of pine, covered with paper or tarred felt, with woolen, cut in strips, tacked on the edge, and when in position lies on top of the tank. The mother is a little smaller than the ine RIRL D g “i’!U;l i im“s‘_-:%“i!y;ggﬁ'; ﬂ‘/ e B M e ﬂm‘tﬂ; e T A o S === LAMP BROODER FOR CHICKENS. side of the brooder—say five or six inches. Use a sliding platform for the chicks and set it, at first, three inches lower than the underside of the tank, and lower the platform half an inch every ten days. The illustration shows a double “brooder, with tight partitions in the middle, and with openings for the .chicks on the opposite sides. The chicks in each brooder have separate runs. To set the brooder, have the end over the lamp (three quarters of an inch the lowest from the top of the lamp, but half an inch is better), and the water will freely circulate. Fill the tank to the top of the stand-pipe, then fill a bottle with water and place the neck of the bottle in the opening of the standF FiG. 2. pipe (which gives pressure to the water), and the circulation will be complete. When chicks are very young, keep the inclined plane raised up. This brooder is an improvement over many others, as it heats with but little oil, and one neced not go to the expense of a-boiler. Chicks raised in it had no leg wealkness and grew splendidly. o In Fig. 1, AAA show the tank, B the lamp, D the movable platform, E the inclined ‘plane (or run), and S the standpipe (which is also used for filling the tank). - _ln Fig. 2, the tank is shown, A being the end that goes over the lamp, and S shows the stand-pipe. The sketch shows one-half of the cover removed, and also the side left open to have a view of the inside.— FFarm and Fireside. POINTS FOR FARMERS. _ | [From Farm, Ficld and Stockman.] Crosk all unused gates. BE sure you dry the sced corn. Do it now. CuLTIvATE a large crop of small home: pleasures. Dox’T let the snow hide rubbish about your farm. . Reap, plan and caleulate for next season’'s work. . Tue farmer is a bigger factor than the farm in successful farming. ‘ Ir you use manure to bank up the house be sure it is through heating. . , Dox’t sell all the hogs at three cents and buy back hams at fifteen andj twenty. : -

Suover the snow from under the clothes-line—or better, hang out the clothes for your wife these wintry days.

WHAT cares vegetation how the elements of fertility originated so they are given in a soluble and available form?

Broap wheels draw easier on grass and on mud roads, and do not cut the fields'so badly or wear the roads so rapidly. Then why not have broad tires?

THERE are pastures in Kentucky which have never been plowed since the State was first settled, but the grass is fed in the most liberal manner and is thus sustained. |

THis is the best time to paint the implements. Clean them well first, then paint; if you can not afford to buy white lead, a good coat of good linseed oil will do well.

It is reliably stated that in Ontario, where they make a business of sending children to agricultural schools, more than eighty-five per cent. of them go back to the farm.

IN getting down hay or straw by lantern light, be sure the lantern is hung on a hook where there is no risk of knocking it over or off. It will not take sixty seconds to put up a hook.

SECRETARY RUSK is convinced that the present work of the Government in matters relating to irrigation, is only a beginning, and that the Government aid for this purpose will be increased as the work progresses. IN a recent article of President Chamberlain, in his chronicles of a clay farm, he shows that each dollars’ worth of super-phosphates returned him two dollars’ worth of>wheat, with strong prospect of greatly increasing the clover and timothy for the coming year. )

A LARGE part of the nitrates which would be lost were a cereal crop grown is assimilated and retained by a root crop; and when the roots are fed on the farm, we may return the nitrogen to the soil in the manure of the animals and thus enrich the land for a cereal crop. The Craze for New Fruits. The craze for new and untried fruits, says D. 8. Grimes, is ruining the market, value of many orchards. The commercial value of fruits, like the commercial credit and standing of business men, has a record open to all who may take the pains to examine it. The value of _fruits in all local markets can be learned from commission merchants who handle fruits in large quantities, and know what varieties the publie calls for the most. The hardiness-and adaptation of these varieties can be determined from the practical. experience of intelligent planters who have been successful in fruit culture. The advice of such men will not mislead or deceive those seeking reliable information on the subject.

CHOICE COMB-HONEY. The Beekeeper’s Most Reliable Source of Income. ! The production of comb-honey is probably one of the most important questions in bee culture for the general apiarist to study. How to obtain the best results both in quality and quantity, the size of sections, the kind of supers, ‘‘side storing” and ‘‘tiering up,” are some of the most important questions concerning this subject, and require much study and experience in order to bring about the best results. v The one-pound section is probably the most popular section in the market at present, and besides being more salable than any other size, it has many other good qualities. In using one-pound sections, separators are not as essential, in order to get straight combs, as in larger sizes, and by not using separators, sections will be much better filled, because the bees must have'a bee space on both sides of the separator; whereas, if no separator is used, one bee spaceis all that is required, thereby giving more room for the storing of honcy. This honey will be more salable, for the market demands a well-fillad section, and it is generally thought that as much honey will be stored in small sections as in large ones. But the quality of the honey is the most important point.: This the beekeeper has but little control over, further than taking it from the hive at intervals during the honey season, and probably this does not have much to do with the quality, but it has much to do with the appearance. It is a settled fact that the longer honey is left in the hive the darker it will get. : Therefore, in order to gain the best results in this line, the bee-keeper must take the honey from the hive several times.during the season. This is not'as much of a task as might be expacted, if good Italian bees are kept, and good convenient supers are used. Itis a good plan, when money is coming in freely, to lift the sections from the super without removing the super from theshive. “Place the uncapped sections in tke center, and fill up with empty sections. Bt if the harvest is over, or the bees are cross and inclined to rob, it is tlie best plan to lift the super from the }'iive.——E. S Mead, in Ohio Farmer. :

THE ORCHARD SITE. A Northern Slope Is Preferable to a Southern One. ’ ; For the orchard site avoid barren hillsides, says a writer. Yes, avoid barren lands of all kinds. Any good corn land will answer. If not naturally well drained, tile to the depth of at least four feet. A northern slope is preferable to a southern one, the above writer says. Plow and harrow the ground thoroughly. Level land should, by repeated ploewings, be thrown into ridges upon which plant the trees, two rods apart, in the spring of the year. In digging, trees lose a portion of their roots; this should be balanced by judicious pruning of the top. Cut away all forked and close-growing branches, leaving oneupright shoot for the leader, and cut the ends®f all branches back a few inches.

Make all cuts close and smooth. Never leave any stubs, and cut all bruised and. broken roots back to the sound wood. Plant in holes large enough to permit ecach root being straightened out in natural position, setting the tree about two inches deeper than it formerly stood and leaning about fifteecn degrees to the southwest. Cultivate corn azmmong the young trees for five or six ycars. Then seed to clover, letting it rdmain on the ground as a mulch; never permit a dense grass sod to take possession of your orchard. Protect your trees against rabbits, mice and borers by wrapping the stems. with burlap, wire screen or something of the sort. Keep up the fertility of the soil by an occasionul top dressing of well-rotted barnyard manure. Keep your trees free from worthless branches and dead twigs. Prune during mild weather, from November to March.—Western Rural.

A HANDY CONTRIVANCE. Adjustable Extension for the Foot of an Orchard Ladder.

'~ about two feet long and of the same width and thickness as the foot of the ladder. It is held in place by two iron straps which are firmly bolted or screwed to the ladder, but large enough, especially the upper one, to give ‘the extension piece plenty of space. When the ladder is set in place, the loose piece dropsof its own weight to the ground, as shown in the right-hand side of the engraving. Itis firmly fastened there by a wedge of hard wood or, still better, of iron. Winter is the most convenient season for making such contrivances.—American Agriculturist. : : Bacteria in Milk. Some very interesting experiments on the subject of bacteria in mélk have been carried out at the Storrs Experimental Station by Prof. Conn, from which it appears that extremes of both cold and heat are alike injurious to this minute life. Cold hinders their development, while they are killed when the boiling point is reached. They multiply rapidly in milk and cream when exposed to the air, causing milk to sour and curdle. When the vesséls containing milk are not washed properly, they lurk about and multiply in the sides and joints of milk vesselsin the minute proportions of the milk left there. The facts brought out show the importance of keeping milk so far as possible free from them by the greatest cleanliness in the dairy, and of cooling the milk immediately after coming from the cow. ' Youna c¢hicks need the best of care and the most nutritious foods to give them a vigorous start to grow. . Once well started, it is comparatively easy to keep them growing. ‘

THE present available sup Ply of potatoes is estimated to be a little over half of what it was a year ago.

Usk iodide of lead, one ounce, lard, eight ounces, for mange in cattle.

FIRZSIDE FRAGMENTS. —Fine copper wire may be bought by the pound and is much cheaper, as strong and as good-looking as the twisted wire. —Carolina Corn Cakes: One and a half pints of corn meal, half pint of wheat flour, three eggs, salt. Add these, beating well, to one quart sour milk. Add ‘one small teaspoonful of dissolved soda, and one small saltspoonful of tartaric acid. Bake in muffin rings. Serve hot. —Water is somewhat purified, or rather cleansed, in freezing, but hard, clear ice contains visible suspended impurities, and more that are invisible. Snow ice is very apt to be unclean; and the only safe way is to keep food and water away from direct contact with ice, unless it be artificially made from distilled water, a recent process that promises to become very popular. —English Steak: Choose the tenderest part of beef; have it cut an inch thick; broil it over hot coals and cover with a plate while cooking; have some butter, a little salt and pepper, with a little hot water in a dish; when the steak is ready to turn dip it in this two or three times; when done pour the basting over it and add butter.—Boston Herald.

—For small articles about the house, such as book covers, blotting-cases, wall pockets and the like, a revival of the darned backgrounds, once so popular, has taken place. The design is merely outlined and lightly filled in, and hence is doubly effective against the darker and artistically irregular stitches of the foundation. The work is easy, the worker’s attention being mainly required to keep the lines of stitches quite straight.

—Chocolate caramels: 801 l together for nearly half an hour two cupfuls of brown sugar, one cupful of molasses, one large tablespoonful of butter and three tablespoonfuls of flour, then stir half a pound of grated chocolate into half a cupful of sweet milk and pour into the pan, stirring it oftén after it begins to harden. It may be tested by dropping a little in cold water. Flavor to taste with vanilla.—N. Y. World.

—An odd splasher: Take three palmleaf fans and in oils tint them according to the coloring of the bedroom. If blue, for one side almost pure Prussian blue, ﬂ'r‘rrk; rich and deep; the next paint a sGOIt bright blue, for which mix white, emerald green, Antwerp blue, and a tiny touch of cadmium. Maks the third a pale blue, using the same colors, only more white. T'ie the three fans together in the shape of a large clover leaf, with a big bow of blue ribbon.—Good Housekeeping. : . —When sponging the whole body of a sick person, do not expose more of the surface of the body at one time.than can be quickly gone over, rapidly dried, and at once recovered. If the sponging has been ordered to reduce temperature, it should be done with water one hundred degrees, and containing someé alcohol to aid evaporation. The sponging must be done under cover of sheet, and the sponge must not be wet ermough to dampen the covering. - Do not dry, but allow the moisture to evaporate. Such a sponging at stated times is most refreshing to a burning fever patient, and never fails to bring the desired result—a reduced temperature, quiet nerves and refreshing sleep. : —Potato Olives: Peel the requsite quantity of potatoes, and cut them into the shape of olives; rinse them: well in cold salt and water, then drain and put. them into a sapcepan of boiling salted water, and boil very gently until quite soft, but not at all broken. Strain off the liquid, allow the potatoes to dry by the side of the stove, then dip each one into well-beaten ege, and roll it in a savory mixture composed of say, four tablespoonfuls of fine bread-crumbs, two tablespoonfuls of grated cheese, one tablespoonful of minced parsley, and a seasoning of salt and pepper. Press this covering firmly into the olives, then fry from eight to ten minutes in boiling, clarified fat. Drain thoroughly, dish up prettily on!a hot napkin, garnish with sprigs of crisp, fried parsley, and serve just as hot as possible.=-Ladies’ Home Journal. 5

SHAWHAN'’S SUPERB STABLE.

The Folly of a Wealthy San Franciscan Who Flew Too High.

About fifteen years ago, in San Francisco, a speculator in mining stocks “struck it rich” and began the erection of a costly stable on the very summit of fashionable Nob hill,"intending to build a splendid house when he “‘struck it” a little “richer.” The lot.was one of the largest and best on the hill, and all about were the homes of the suddeniy made rich, who were irreverently called “nobs,” and thus the locality came to be christened by its suggestive name. The speculator’s hame was Shawhan, and he meant to outshine every other nob on the hill. He is said to have spent on his stable over $lOO,OOO, and it, looked like a splendid house. There was in it a great marble drinking-trough into which the water ran from the mouth of a marble lion that had been sculptured in Italy expressly for Shawhan. In front of the trough was a plateglass mirror as large as the side of a small house. The floor of the hay-loft was of inlaid wood and plastered all over the interior walls of the buildings were shields ‘and armorial bearings. Shawhan was from Kentucky and with characteristic pride traced his ancestry back to enough great people in England and America to make a biographical dictionary an indispensable article in the household of eévery acquaintance. After the stable was finished Shawhan’s speculations were not so profitable as he had hoped, and, pending a rise in the market, he and his family lived in a rented house near the costly stable. His ventures all proved unsuccessful and within a cemparatively short period he had lost his last dollar in the stock market. - The lot and' stable on Nob hill went with the rest of his suddenly acquired fortune, and for a long time after people who were ignorant of the history of the stable would audibly wonder “in passing by it, “Why doesn’t somebody live in that splendid house?” —Chicago Times. : Gullibility of the Russlanp. ! A noble of high standing in St. Petersburg made a bet that by advertising the merest nonsense he could get money sent him from all parts of the Empire. He inserted an advertisement in the papers that for the sum of one ruble he: would forward the sender a powder which, if put in luke-warm water, would breed a dozen of chicks. Rubles were sent to hira by the thousands. He won the bet, but he had to pay an equivalent in returning the ruble to the senders and giving them a piece of advice. This story is circulated in the Russian papers by way of justifying the strict vigilance of the censor over every line of advertising as well as of reading matter that #oes to press.—Chicago Tribune.

ELIJAH AND THE PROPHETS. International Sunday-Sehool Lesson for January 25, 1891. [Specially Arranged from S. S. Quarterly.] LEssoN Tex T—l Kings 18:25-39, : GOLDEN TEXT—How long halt ye between two opinions? If the Lord be God, follow Him. -1 Kings 18:21. 5 ¢ CENTRAL TRUTH—The most important desision of our lives is whom we will serve and love supremely. - TIME— About B. C. 905. Three years and a 'nalf after Elijah's first appearance to Ahab, PLACE—Mount Carmel, a ridge about twelve miles long and seventeen hundred feet high, The sacriffice was about four miles from- its sastern end, where is a level place, a perennial fountain, and near which flows the Kishon. RULERS—Abhab. King of Israel (thirteenth year) ; Jezebel, his Queen; Jehoshaphat, King of Judah (ninth year). : HELPS OVER HARD PLACES—2S. “Prophets of Baal:” priests who conducted his worship, and who uttered sometimes wild and frantic cries supposed to come from the inspiration of the idol. Hence they were called prophets, i. e., those who speak under special Divine influence. “For ye are many:” four hundred and fifty. They would be able to get ready first. And he gave them the longest time. *“But put no fire under:” the test was fire from Heaven. A miracle that only God could perform would be a test as to whether Baal was God. Baal was the sun, and it was midday, so that if any idol can bring fire, he could. 27. “Elijah mocked:” to show the people how absurd it was to trust in idols. 28. “Knives:” swords. “Lancets: lances, spears. 29. “Prophesied:” referring to their prayers, etc. (described in v. 28). 81. “Twelve stones:” one for each tribe, to be builded into one altar, to show that all the tribes should be one in serving the Lord. 82. “A trench...as great as would contain two measures of seed:” the measure here is the seah, containing about three gallons. The trench was as wide and deep as a vessel that would hold two messures, 1. e., probably between one and two feet each way. 33. “Fill four barrels (water jars) with water:” to prove to the people that there was no trick or deceit. The water could come from an unfailing spring now on Mount Carmel near this place. 36. ‘Time of the evening sacrifice:" three o'clock. 388. “The fire of the Lord fell: from Heaven, openly, before the eyes of the people. ‘‘Consumed the stones:" to show that it was no ordinary fire, but Divine. *‘The dust:" the @arth which filled the inclosed place between the stones. 39. ‘“‘They fell on their faces:" in wonder, fear and worship. LESSON COMMENTS. Look at the prophet: his plans are all carefully laid, and he makes haste to present them to the King. He proposes a grand public test as to the divinity of Jehovah and Baal. The drought and famine ought to have been enough .to convince any ordinary mind, but Elijah wants to make assurance doubly sure, lest any should be led astray by the lies of Baal’s priests. He chose Mount Carmel as a fitting place for the test because of its exalted position, seventeen hundred feet above the plain of Esdraelon. So reasonable was Elijah’s demand, and so great was Ahab’s fear of his stern prophet, that the King did not dare to refuse. To secure the attend3. @ ance of representatives from ‘all Israel” (verse 20) would take some days. Where Elijah spent those days we do not know, but very possibly he spent them in the mountain in prayerful preparation for the great scene that was soon to follow.

Look at the people: there they are, between Elijah and the four hundred and fifty priests of Baal, silent. The prophet of Jehovah appeals to them, asking them why they ‘halt” (that is, vacillate) between two opinions. He begs them to come to some final decision, and not think one thing to-day and another to-morrow. They had been “blowing hot and cold,” and were never firm one way or the other. Yet, in response to his manly appeal, they simply held their peace. Probably they were influenced in this by the fear of Ahab and Jezebel. They had not faith enough in God to be sure of the issue of the impending trial of strength’ between God’s servant and the servants of Baal, and they thought *‘if we come out for Jehovah, and the priests of Baal win the wictory, it will go hard with us.” So they said nothing. Nor did they exactly dare to side openly with Baal, lest in some way evil should come upon them from Jehovah. : .

Look at the priests of Baal: four hundred and fifty of them. They build their altar; they. prepare the sacrifice; they cry aloud, pray, dance wildly, cut themselves with knives. They keep this up from morning until npoon. The people, the King, the prophet stand by watching. Nothing happens; they redouble their efforts. The afternoon wears away; still no sign of answer. The heavens are as brass above them, and the sacrifice as cold as ever Angrier and angrier they grow, but all is in vain. Baal will not hear, Baal can not hear, for what is he but an idol?

Look again at the prophet: Baal's priests have had their turn, and mow it is his turn. Call for what he did. He repairs God’s altar, which had long ago been abandoned.” He digs a small trench around the altar in the dry soil. Wood and sacrifices are quietly put in order. Twelve jars of waterare poured upon the altar, wetting the wood and filling the trench. The King, the priests of Baal and the people look en in silence. When all is ready, Elijah approaches the altar and lifts up his voice in prayer to his God. . Then, in an instant, blinding fire, likewchain lightning, falls from Heaven, and‘wood, sacrifice, altar, water, all disappear. Look again at the people: while Elijah builds again the ruined altar and makes all his preparations, they stand by watching undecidedly. But when .the fire falls on the sacrifice they fall on their faces. Divine power has convinced them that Jehovah is God, and with one voice they. cry: ‘“The Lord, He is the God; the Lord, He isthe God.” This was the starting point of a revival, which brought many in Israei (not all, however) back to their allegiance to the true God. But it is not so much what made them start in the right direction, as the fact of their starting, that is of importance.—Rev. A. F. Schauffler, D. D.

Boston’s Blg Willow.

In a recent visit to Boston I was very much interested in observing the various kinds of weeping trees to be seen in that vicinity. Many that are not at all common, yet quite hardy withal, are to be seen planted in permanent locations and growing thriftily, says a writer in Vick’s Magazine. -The finest specimen I have ever seen stands close to the lake near the bridge, in Boston Public Garden. It is nearly or quite three feet in diameter, with a stem of three feet where it branches and spreads its magnificent drooping spray over a circle of seventy-five or eighty feet. Its ‘height is about fifty feet. A drizzling rain prevented my sketching it, but I hope some enterprising horticultural journal will have it photographed and hand it down to posterity as the most perfect weeping willow ever grown—the king of willows, in fact. A Take Your Choloce. A Berlin chemist claims to have discovered a chemical preparation which will turn a living person to marble in six months, the petrifaction being complete one month after death. You can have your choice of white, black or mottled marble, and if a good figure you will be worth $5OO as a piece of statuary. ; : :

MeVicker’s Theater Revived.

The new McVicker’s Theater, Chicagd, which will be opened early in March by the Jefferson-Florence company, is now (rluickly progressing, Mr. McVicker himself supervising the work with a thoroughness of spirit that always characterized him. Five steel columns filled with concrete have been placed on either side of the theater proper to support the iron-trussed roof. There are two elevators where there was formerly one—one approached as before from the street, the other fram theentrance of the theater. : .

The box-office has been changed from the right to the left side. The stage has been enlarged. What is technically called ‘the gridiron” is seventy feet abovethe boards, and above that is fifteen feet to.the roof. Complete sets of scenery are being prepared by Mr. Walter Burridge, than whom a better artist could not have been selected.

Itis understood, by the way, that ‘“Blue Jeans,” by Mr. Joseph Arthur, whichis now a success in New York, will be the attraction at the new McVicker’s during the summer months,
