St la Not Difficult to Construct ud Will Do All That Can Be Expected of It. Skunks are a nuisance about a farmhouse or barnyard, and where they get into the habit of raiding the chicken yards, must be gotten rid of at any cost. Often they are allowed to make and occupy nests in the vicinity of the barn or house and remain undisturbed on account of the disagreeable consequences an interference would bring about. The average man would rather beard the lion in his den than risk an encounter with a skunk. A pair of these animals made their abode beneath : the b

j TRAP READY FOR THE SKUNK. floor of a neighbor’s summer kitchen and as the floor was not tight goUinto ithe habit of coming into the room above. The farmer captured them by use of the trap shown in the illustration. A small-sized dry goods box, not so large but it can be easily carried, is fixed with a trap door, which is at tached to a lever connected with a trigger in such a manner that when sprung the door will drop. The box can be carried with its captive to a safe distance, where the odor will not be disturbing, and the prisoner shot or dispatched by a trusty dog. ' The illustration shows the trap ready set. The trap do,or; a, is .attached to a lever, b, which rests on a fulcrum at c. The other end of the lever is fastened to the trigger, d. The trigger passes through the top of the box, the notch, f, catching on the edge of the hole in the which should be large enough to give plenty of play. The trigger stick should be long enough to reach within an inch of the bottom of the box, where the bait, e, is fastened. A hinged. door in the side of the box makes- the last act easy—that of dispatching the entrapped animal. If the btfeis carried carefully, there is nodang«^5|f the skunk opening hostilities until immediate danger threatens him.— Orange Judd Farmer. BEES AND GRAPES. -- The Honey-Makers Sack the Jaiee^f f the Ripe FraU Only After It Has Burst Open. s The question whether bees punc- | 1 ture grapes has been discussed from I various standpoints for a good many ’ years, and the conclusions reached, by most thinkers and investigators on the subject are that bees do not puncture grapes, but suck the juice of grapes only after they have been burst open or been bitttW by birds. Prof. 11. L. Taylor, of the Michigan experiment station, has conducted some experiments that would seem to put the question at rest. His observations were that the bees worked only on the Delaware and Lady grapes, varieties that burst open badly in wet seasons. Prof. Taylor placed 1,000 sacks on clusters of 13 different varieties of grapes so that I the bees could not get at them. To- J ward the close of the experiment it j was found that the grapes inclosed in ! sacks were suffering more than those ■ that were left uncovered, and mapy of \ the grapes had burst open. The ex- ' perimenter concluded that the sucking j away of the juice of the grapes by the ! bees is a direct benefit rather than an | injury, in that these juices are pre- j vented from flowing upon sound j grapes, and thus increasing the amount i of the injury by5 the cracking of the I ski u.—Fa Hirers’ Voice.

FACTS FOR FARMERS. Good stalk, good corn. A farmer’s children ought to be the finest in the world. Soifle of themjare. The kecp-otit-of-debt doctrine is preached by most but practiced by very few. Heavy money bags often pull a young man down? an education usually lifts him up. One of the very best things a farm"er can keep is a thrifty, healthy fleck of sheep. “I can’t boom the V market,” said Farmer Hardhead, “but I can lower the cost of the crop.” Cautious John treats new ideas like a new kind of cake. He watches his neighbors when they try. it and then nibbles a bit around the edge.—Orange Judd Farmer. Wheat Straw for Feci, Wheat straw alone is not considered valuable as food, but if cut and fed with grain it may be given with advantage to steers. It is- not advisable to change the food , of cows for cne that is deficient in qualify to that which they may be receiving. >7heat Straw contains about 27 per cent, of sugar, starch, etc., 3 per cent, of mineral matter, nearly 4 per cent, of albuminoids and between 2 and 3 per cent, of fat. Cows will sometimes eat it at the staci: from choice, .even when well supplied with other foods.—Prairie Farmer.

MA< THE HORSE'S STOMACH. It I* ItaMll ui That la Why Bay Other Balky Foods Should Be Fed Sparingly* |

Where hay is plentiful, as it is on most terms, the fact that the horse has i small stomach seems to be forgotten. Where on the contrary hay ils scarce ind high as in the large cities the feed* ing of hay is much better understood. To allow any working horse to eat hay ad libitum is positive cruelty in that it is injurious to the horse, as thi^ animal * not provided with a large storage apparatus as is the cow for the "stowing away of fodder by the hundred pounds. Ibis being the case a great qm ntity of hay consumed by a working htrse, say at the noon hour, merely becomi s a burden and eventually leads to indi gestion. Hay is not digested in the s tomach (which in the horse holds but three and a half gallons) but in the large intestines to which also most of tie water goes when* imbibed, passing Ihrough the stomach and 6f course wast ing out part of the solid contents present in I that receptacle. On farms where people rise very early hay may be fed with idvantcrge in small quantity if given say at five a. m. and the oa^t? ration at six a. m., as time has been given for the hay to pass into the intestines. There can, however, be no advantage:n feeding hay at noon as the working boise cannot digest it but carries it arou-id at work until evening comes, when it san be taken care of by the digestive apparatus. The proper time to allow a full feed of hay is at'eight o’clock at night, two hours after the boise has eaten his oats, and so far as hard worked horses are concerned, ana more especially in ^the heated term of midsummer, this is the only time hay. should be allowed. It is absurd and detrimental to allows any horse to stand and “hog” hay all day long, and worse still if dozens of ears of corn arejadded to the ration. Even an idle horse needs but little hay—not over 14 pounds per day where other good foods are j The horse’s stomach is small, a been said, and he needs and s have concentrated food in small tities at short intervals. We s< find a case of “heaves” appear in barn where horses are properly aged. It is peculiarly a disease < farm fed horse and it is due fb continued overburdening of the stomaelji and intestines with bulky, dry, coarse der and hay which are also too < moldy or full of dust. Many o other ailments of the horse are als< to the same cause, together withllack of exercise and too much corn. Feed sound foocf to the horse in small quantities often, prefer oats to corn] for hard work, always water before feeding, exercise amply every day of the year and give the main feed of hay at night and tie farm horse will iven. has ould uanldom city anthe fodften the due healthy and hardy.—Farmers’ Review.

To remove burs from the wopl in sheep, the better way is to remove the burs from the pastime lot before they mature sufficiently to' adhere to the wool. Once they are in, a hard task fs on to displace them. There are three ways whereby they can be removed. One is to pick Ahem out with the fingers, holding the w< oi in such a manner not to pull it direct from the roots, and pull the wool direct from the bur and allow it to drop from the fleece. Another wjay is to take a pa ir of sheep shears and clip the wool directly underneath tjiem; this, however, is wasteful. Another method would be to take a pair of long pointed tongs and introduce them between the sheep’s body an-1 the bur, grasp firmly, then with a cord or long toothed currycomb ;rake them out.—R. Logan, in Farm j and Home. Goat XtlatsinK in the West. The climatic condition and food supply of a large part of our mountainous dbuntry are admirably adapted to Angora ranges, and there is not q state in the union, east or west,1 in which they cannot be grown to good advantage. Notwithstanding the inbreeding, cross-breeding and inabilitv to get fresh blood, American ranchmen have improved the stock they had to work with just as they improved the original Merino sheep, and believO they will in time produce a better animal, larger and finer, than the original stock with nearly 3,00€ years of history behind it. v

WATERING THE 2/ESERT. Am Irrixatlns Scheme ftm Etrypt That Promicei to Be Immemelr Profitable.

Everybody who knows anybody knows Capt. Whitehouse. He is a member of the bar whose wealth precludes ^necessity for practicing in the courts. By those who profess to know his financial resources, ha is rated a millionaire. The 400 recognize him as one of these embraced within the sphere of influence of the one figure and two ciphers supposed to represetn all that is best in New York’s social life. In the Newport colony he is a leader and in this city he has earned that distinguished title of man-about-town. Sometimes Mr. Whitehouse is referred to as an Egyptologist, and so he is, but in a limited and utilitarian way. He has a dream. It has ocupied his waking as well as sleeping hours for many years. ■Whether it will become a big, paying reality depends upon his diplomacy and the liberality or the Anglo-Egyptian government. That dream is the reclaiming of the great Libyan desert in Egypt. “rt is a feasible proposition, and as soon as my business interests here wilk permit I shal1 return to Egypt and resume my researches,” he said. _ “I was called home at an inopportune time, and it is essential that I get back as quickly as possible.' You see, years ago 1 obtained documentary evidence that in the Lybian desert there was a decided depression, .which could be utilized tc reclaim not only the desert, but also much of the surrounding country. To ! convince myself of the verity of the | statements in the documents I went to I the desert in 1SS2. Topographical sur- ' veys confirmed them in every par,ticf ular. “This depression is 60 miles above Cairo. It is opposite Benisuer, a town -on the Nile, and distant, from it bnt ten miles. It includes 250 square miles of the desert. All that is needed is a canal ten milds1 long, from Benisuer, on the Nile, to the near edge of the depression. Set the waters of the Nile flowing through this canal and what have we? A sheet of fresh water covering 25C square miles of land. “That will give me the biggest irrigai tion plant of the \Vorid. I shall sell irrigation privileges to all the surrounding Country and the waste lands of the Lybian desert will respond to ItTe [ influence of the enriching waters of j the Nile and blossom like a rose. The | Rothschilds, who have given to the m.atj ter mature consideration, assure me j that my income from the sale of irri- | gation privileges should not be less ; than $1,250,000 a year.”—N. Y. Press. ! NAMES CAUSE CONFUSION. i Quite a natch of Congressmen Beat. in.gr Common Family Designations. . .1 ■ _:_

The members of the present congress are in danger occasionally of falling intothemisrake t>f Little Eutercup, and “mix those children up,” for there isjm unusual number cf congressmen whose names lead to confusion. There are six Smiths in the house—three from Michigan and one each from Kentucky, Maryland and'Illinois. There are three WU^tHis and three Williamses, two of mem from Illinois. The two Wheelers have -little trouble at present, because “Fighting Jo,” of Alabama, has not returned from the Philippines, and the two Robertses get along well enough, because Mr. Roberts, of Utah, is not on the roll call, and My. Roberts, of Massachusetts, is. The two Thomases, one from Iowa,- v.ho thwarted a diamond thief in the capital the other day, and! oi^e from NorthCaroIina, have to watch each other on the roll call, for they are of opposing political faiths,'as are the two Youngs, one froirr^ Pennsylvania •and the other from Virginia. The three Stewarts, from New Jersey, New York and Wisconsin respectively:, are all republicans, as are Boutell, of IllMois, and Boutelle, of Maine. „ There are several other casesr of similar names—Nortons, Eenrys, Moodys, Pierces, Packers. Meyers, Joneses, Greens, Gardners. Aliens, Baileys, Burkes-f CtrrfksT Claytons, Cockrans, Coopdrs, DayarfiportsTGilletts and Fitzgeralds that bother thqinembers in voting. The most recent^instance is with\t*he Rheas, of Kentucky and Vi tginia.\^ Mr. Rhea, of Virginia, is the tall, slender statesman who succeeds Gen. James As. Walker.’ He has the courage of his convictions, and' voted against the Tayler resolution to refer the case of Mr. Roberts, of Utah, before he yvas sworn in, but his name was confused yvith Mr. Rhe^, of Kentucky, and in some manner he was placed on the wrong side of the Congressional Record’s columns.—Chicago Chronicle. Five Glasses of Water Dally. Dr. Taylor states that the normal | adult needs 37 ounces of water a day, j and as the average tumbler holds eight ounces, five glasses make 49 ounces, ap- ! proxiniately the normal quantity. The ! best times to drink it are one glass upon | rising, one at ten a. m., one at three p. j m„ one at five and cne or two cn retir- ; ing.^ Instead of the rather indefinite five, glasses a day it is better to fill a bottle of a given size, the contents of whieh are to be drunk during-each 5-1 hours* Patients at famous wateringplaces oyve mueh of their improvement to the large quantities of water which they are obliged to drink, and the same • results could no doubt be obtained at ; home by drinking large quantities of > good water.—Medical World.

WHAT SCIENCE TEACHES Pig’s milk is under discussion in the French chamber of deputies, a petition having been sent to it asking that its use may be permitted as nourishment foi* babies. Some doctors favor it. Clouds that move in a contrary direction to that of the surface current : indicate a change of weather, because I they prove the existence of two air 1 currents, one warm and the other cold, ; and the mingling of these frequently causes rain. Poisonous snakes when with young are sluggish and retiring in the ir habits. The little ones are born with fangs and poison glands in fell perfection, and are dangerous even before tasting food or water. The young are much more active than the adults and probably their poison is more virulent. M. Henri Coupon has been experimentiugjwith the action of anaesthetics on seeds. He shows that they dp not injure the grain, but the insects that attack it are destroyed. (Chloroform is recommended. The grain is, however, very sensitive to ali, anae- | sthetie vapors, which retard their germination or kill them. In Siam the liquid measure used is derived from a cocoahut shell which is capable of bolding 830 tamarind seeds, and 20 of these units equal a capacity of a wooden bucket. In dry measure, 83 Qr tamarind seeds make one “k’anahn,” and 25 k’anahn” make one “sat,” or bamboo basket; '80 “sat” make one “kwien,” or cart. 'This is an example of the primitive origin of most units of weights and measures.

BRIEF MENTION. Nearly 2,800 residents of Minnesota shared in ,1899 in the tree-planting bounty, receiving1 $2.40 an acre. The average monthly wage of farm laborers in I|fotrth Carolina is $15.36, that including rations, house, pasture and garden. A New York (druggist says that Chinamen patronize the drug stores very little, as they have little faith in American drugs. Prof. Hamlin, of Columbia college, declares that New York presents the unique spectacle of not having one decorative building erected at public expense. 1 7;* 1 '' That there are mure Indians in the United States now than there were the day the pilgrims landed cannot be proved, but it is generally believed and it is stoutly aflmned by statisticians. Residents efi^Toledo, O., as well as commercial misrepresenting firms in that city are beginning to place beside their names on the hotel registers “1902” instead of Toledo—a novel method of advertising the coming centennial celebration there. Most of the old-time chop-houses in New York and Brooklyn have disappeared. These were memorable feasting spots. The ale and the chops abd the deviled kidneys were of the choicest. The Welsh rarebits and game -were also of the best. In the place of the chop-houses have come the “quick lunch.” K ALL WORK AND NO PLAINT I Nearly one-third of the paper produced in the United States during the first six months of 1898 was newspaper in rolls and sheets. A large trade is done in Germany in artificial sponges, which, are produced by a patented process depending principally cn the action of zinc chloride solution on pure .cellulose. A series of experiments made at liiel during the last two years hare shown that 61 all metals used in shipbuilding an amalgam of iron and zine is Idast | subject to deterioration from the in* i fluence of sea water. 1
