Wyandotte Fowl*.

Probably the Wyandotte fowls stand at the heads of those breeds combining use and beauty both. They have yellow skin and are heavy chickens for market

A farmer who wanted to indulge a little in fancy breeding, and at the same time get his money back, con Id not do better than to dip into the Wyandottes. They have beautifully laced hackies and saddles, solid black tails, white breast* heavily laced with black (no spangles), and wings which when folded show the much coveted duck wing or bars of black. They are low, medium sized. Comb with well defined spike. Comb, wattles and ear lobes a deep, rich red legs smooth and yellow. They are exceptionally hardy, standing our severe winters fully as well as, if not better than, any other breed. They mature very early. Pullets often commence laying when five months old.

PAIR Or WYANDOTTE FOWLS.

The farm boy* and girls will find it fascinating work to rear a flock of beautiful, puro blooded Wyandottes. They could sell -enough eggs and breeding fowls at high priitui to make them a snug lot of spending money.

The Wyandottes are pretty enough to live, if they hod no other good qualities. But they are excellent winter layers besides. The eggs average eight to the pound in weight.

Ilomn Made Iloldnr.

The Rural New Yorker furnishes the following convenient device for holding a bag open when a man wishes to fill it and hns no sons and daughters or wife, or even a hired man, convenient to hold it open for him.

W. D. Sawyer, away out in Colorado, who must be a bachelor, inventt*l the convenient device.

It is made of a piece of board, A, 2x8 inches and 80 inches long, and Kwo pieces of scantling 1x2 inches and 43 inches long planed smooth. For half the length of

these, holes an inch apart are bored large enough to admit a nail, as seen over C. Four pieces, B, of 3-inch stulT fasten tho uprights to the board A, 17 inches apart, as shown. Two pieces 1x2 inches and 10 inches long, and two others 1x2 inches anil inches long, are then nailed together so as to loave a hole 1x3 inches in the middle. Into •each of these drive two headless wrought nails. Sharpen these and bend them ujv wards put these "heads" on the uprights a« nhown at I, and in each bore a hole to correspond with the holes in tho uprights insert a nail hong the sack on the nulls and lower or raise* the "heads" to suit your convenience or the length of the sack.

Turkey* In California.

A great demand for turkeys has sprung up, it is said, among the vineyardistsof California. It has lieen found that for destroying HIURS and other insects that prey upon the foliage of tho vine, an old hen turkey ami her (lock of young are worth more than hired man. The turkeys grow, fatten and thrive ujion tho food thus obtained, not only keeping the vines free from insects, but at the same time fattening thoiv.selves for market, paying a double pruilt, with no charge either for Kup(«irt or wages.

This, from an exchange, sounds all very fine. But won't the turkeys eat the grapes, too?

To lOep a Cow From S«lf-Sneklng. Mr. J. H. Htnpltn has invented a sort of yoke to keep a cow from sucking herself that is very effective. It is letter than a leather strap with nails in it over tho nose, for that tear* the cow's bag and teats.

How to Meet Cr»»b»rry lto«. A cranberry bog should be in a location well protect**! from frost, with a bottom of peet mud, or intm Cranberries will grow equally well on either foundation. There should be sufficient, inclination to the bog to afford fall enongh to allow the water to lie drained off to eighteen inches below the surface. If tiwre is mt a brook running through the bog, there should be a spring, or a pond, above it capable of affording a sufficient supply of water to overflow it readily. If there water enough to cover the vinos completely, It to all that is needed. The bog, after It is three ymrs old, ought to lie flowed from the first of November until the first of June, ms it is then thoroughly vined, ami a crop may be expected. There uld be a sufficient supply of coarse I, suitable for coming it, near the bog.

In«eke*i jabog. I prefer a huct* Twrry, maple or .vJar swamp, to a fresh u. jdow, for the reason that it costs few to take can of it after it is plant**!. Lew grass and fewmr weeds will grow in a swamp after it is On* d««mL than to a meadow. The swamp oo which nothing but wood has grown, has the bewt brrtnm, it is enriched by tbe decayed leave* *., of years, and no nutriment has ever b«M taken from it by other vefetatfco. No tree* should be allowed to gr~r near aoougd to the bog to shad* it. •-WW they do, tb«v will be a rank growth of cranberry vin«#, and very littl* fruit. Indeed, tt often happens that vtoaa will nelptotoxmt* all under «och conditions and yet w® promt the tuuMfeeamt appearance of any part of tho bug. lick en object to picking

then is too much growth of Tinea, as they tsar their hands, the work of picking is hanler, and the remit of the day's work is lam profitable

Notwithstanding the fact the most successful bogs, as a rule, are those located where they can be readily flowed, and those protected from the ravages of insects and injury by frost, yet there are some notable exceptions to the rule. There are dry bogs under cultivation on Cape Cod, comprising hundreds of acres, that have produced well for years, escaping both frost and fire-worm.—James Webb.

A Patent Batter Powder Fraurt. A little sharp practice is being played in Ohio in sections not coasted exactly dairy districts. Of late the farmers there have received letters from various parts of the state asking if anything was known among the creameries about a "patent" whereby a dairyman, by a certain manipulation of the cream and the adding of a little "harmless powder" could increase the yield of butter from 75 to 250 per cent over that made by the usual methods, etc., and, further, stating that if it were all right, they could buy the right of their county for $500.

The process, as explained in the letters, is something like this: The cream is divided into two parts, one warmed just enough to chum, and the other quite hot These two are then put into the churn, and with them one-third of their bulk of "shippings" and a "harmless powder" (said to be specially ground fine salt.) Butter color is then added, and tho whole churned. In six minutes the mass comes. The cheese in the milk, by the action of the powder, lias been converted into butter. Tho buttermilk is worthless, and looks very much like whey. "It looks to me," continues the writer, "as though there were big money in it"

This patent is very "thin" t6 those who have experimented with it, and this "harmless powder" is, no doubt, line salt but at the sometime it is probably thoroughly filled with rennet extract When the cream is made very warm, as by this plan, it would show a large increase in weight when churned, as tho butter would be heavily charged with casein but if salt and rennet oro both added there would be the slight chemical action of the salt, and the powerful coagulating influence of the rennet and if tho mass was kept agitated for six minutetf there is no reason why there should not be a batch of yellow "something," which would look like butter, and which also would weigh out at the rate of from twelvo to fifteen lounls per 100 pounds of milk.

It does seem strange that any man should bo humbugged into paying $500 for the ounty right to make batter put of cheese urd, and thatthcroisa gain of from 75 to I'A) per cent, in butter product over any hitherto discovered improvement It is, after till, the old story in anew dress—on attempt t.» get money without work, to get something f^r nothing.—Michigan Farmer.

To Grow tho Rwtk«t Willow. A good deal of money is made in various parts of the country, but especially in tho south, on willow farms, that is, farms where the osier or basket willow is raised. The last number of The Southern Cultivator gives the method of culture employed in Georgia, where willow fanning is most successful and remunerative. Its directions are as follows: There are two varieties, out of many, generally cultivated in this country, the red £sallx purpurea) and tho white (salix viminalis). They will grow on quite damp land, but a well drained alluvial soil is said to be best suited to tbem. The land is prepared as for a corn crop—thoroughly broken and cleansed cuttings from well ripened wood of last year, about one foot in length, are pot in drills three feet apart, and »J .Utsen inches in drill. The cuttings are put Anting in the ground, at an angle of about forty-five degrees, and only an inch or Onro left above the surface. The dirt should be well pressed against the lower ends of the cutting*. They should be cultivated as earefnlly the firs* year as any ~~a Cuttings few baskets are not uu uir.i the aocood ymr after planting.

THERE HAUTE SATURDAY EVENING MAIL.

Tbe Fraxinella or "Gas Plant." The last time we visited the late Charles Downing, at his home on the banks of the Hudson, where he had brought together a remarkable collection of hardy herbaceous plants, he pointed out a dump of Dictamnus Fraxinella, with the remark: "If I were confined to a single herbaceous perennial plant it would be the Fraxinella. It is perfectly hanly. The ordinary purplish pink form, while not showy, is stately, aitd the white variety is really handsome. Moreover, the flowers remain for a long time, while the odor, like that of lemon peel, is to me exceedingly pleasing." "Besides," vre added, "it allows you to make an exhibition of fireworks." Finding that Mr. Downing had heard of the inflammable character of the plant, but had never tested it, we struck a match, and applying it near the tase of a tall specimen, there was a slight explosion, and a flash of bright flame enveloped the plant for a second and disappeared, leaving.a

characteristic odor. It greatly pleased our venerable friend to discover this curious property of his favorite plant. He had hoard of it before, but regarded it as something that might occasionally happen, rather than as a phenomenon that may be seen on any warm day. The whole plant is pervaded by a volatile oil, which is produced in the greatest abundance by tho glands that beset the flowcrstalks. This oil, in a warm, still day, is converted into a vapor so' abundant that when aflame is brought in contact with it, there is a slight explosion and a bright flash, which is so sudden that the plant sustains no injury. In looking through anew botanical work just received from France, we came across the engraving here reproduced. We found that it was an expensive arrangement, in plate glass, etc., for showing the flashing properties of the Fraxinella, an illustration that too much machinery may be used to show a simple thing, and as a consequence the curious phenomenon is not popularized. A warm, still day and a match, if one has the plants, is all the apparatus required for this curious experiment Tho plants, which are perfectly hardy, are sold by nurserymen they are propagated by dividing the clumps, or from seeds, if those are sown as soon as ripe.—American Agriculturist

Light Hiding Wagon.

In the west and south and in rough districts in the east light single wagons are coming much into use. They are adapted to hill country and to muddy roads. Where a heavier vehicle would sink in the mire hopelessly the light wagon will slip over the top of the mud.

LIGHT WAGON.

Tho wagon in the illustration is sold for $35. It has steel axles and shell band wheels. It, is so light that a man could almost put it upon a horse's back and ride it over swamp.

Buckboard wagons, also, are becoming very popular throughout the country. They consist simply of light boards bent and fastened upon wheels in such a way as to get all tho spring possible out of them. The seat, either for ohe or two persons, is fixed directly over these boards and the wagon is finished. Forty dollars is a good round price for one of those simple and useful wagons. They are comfortable to ride in and stylish looking. They are really a boon to farmers and persons who must do much riding where roads are bad. All such should posses* them. They can be used often in place of the buggy or carriage, to the great saving of that more costly and fragile vehicle.

Abstinence From AleohoL

There is at present undoubtedly a widespread interest in this subject There is a wave or movement in favor of teetotalism passing over both this country and Great Britain. The reasons for total abstinence are put upon purely health grounds. It has been found by repeated experiment thbt doing altogether without anything that contains alcohol, as wine, beer, whisky, ale or porter, makes the bead clearer, the digestion better, the sleep souml -r and sweeter, and the general health is or cent, better.

A remarkable fact about the new movement is that it is most popular among the more intelligent classes. The brain workers, writer?, editors and scientific men are becoming '-totakjrs in numbers. They do it because they find they can accomplish more and better work without it and endure longer hotus. Many of them are even stopping the use of meat, and using only eggs, milk and cheese for their animal food. They also do without ten and coffee, substituting milk hi place of these.

There is a theory about this new departure which soontw plausible. Tbe race, and especially the American people, are developing the nervous system beyond anything hitherto known. TVople are becoming more finely strung, mqre delicately organised. This is true. Tbe unheard of prevalence of nervous diseases in oar time proves it

With this highly organised nervous system food and drink must txooaaurily become more delicate and less In quantity. The huge I gorges of flesh and gallons of strong drink oar half-chrflfand alienators used to indulge in, and then lie down like dumb brutes and sleep I ttoff/woold kill the psrson who should attempt such a feat now. But even this was» nothing to oar «noaton still further back, cave dwellers who nsed to gorga themselves

with rmw, bkxxty mast, tsaring it apart with their Angara, and then lie down in thedust lurid? the hums and sleep that off. 8o yon sea that man does change and dosi

progress. Perhaps tbe time is coming now for him to give up using heavy, coarse food and stimulants of all kinds. Perhaps the time is craning when a highly and finely developed nervous system will be stimulant enough.

General Master Workman Powderly of the Knights of Labor recognizes this when he adjures the knights with all earnestness to abstain from alcohoL

It is those who do heavy manual labor that now send out for their pails and pitchers of beer and ale with their lunches. The brain workers are ceasing to do so. But Ben Franklin the teetotaler proved, more than a hundred years ago, when he was a printer, that he could carry heavier weights and sustain them longer than hi3 beer-drinking comrades. So it seems that even revere physical labor can be best performed without stimulants. Sullivan, the prize fighter, is obliged to sober up and do without alcohol for a time before a contest

As if to put the final touch upon the antialcohol movement, physicians, too, are beginning now to take a stand against stimulants. They begin to say that alcohol can best be done without even in taking medicine. Dr. Joseph Payne Logan, a distinguished southern physician, is one of those who has thus taken a strong stand againsr alcohol. He says it is not necessary in the treatment of disease.

Solid Oxygen.

VJt"

Professor Dewar has succeeded in the production of solid oxygen. At the Royal institution he lately exhibited for the first time to a few friends the methods he employs. The successful device depends upon allowing liquid oxygen to expand into a partial vacuum, when the enormous absorption of heat which accompanies the expansion results in tho production of the solid substance. Oxygen in this condition resembles snow in appearance, and has a temperature of 200 degrees C. below the freezing point of water. A supply of this material will enable chemists to approach the absolute zero of temperature, and to investigate many interesting changes in the physical properties of bodies under the primordial condition of the temperature of space.

New Hlfobon».

New ribbons in preparation for autumn are woven in canvas-like meshes, striped or brocaded with gilt, and finished with feathered edges. Plush ribbons of a solid color on on* side have tho other side in gay Roman stripes. Velvet ribbons have scalloped edges, or tiny tassels on their selvages, and are satin on the reverse side. Ribbed velvet riblions come in two shades exquisitely blended The watered ribbons are in every tint of every color, and in all widths from Lalf an inch to seven inch widths for sashet*. The Pompadour striped riblxms will l-e again imported, though they have not found favor hsre for trimming summer toilets.

Tbe costumes are suitable for tbe country, seashore, or any place wber9 .there is water.

In regard to the two sides of the skirt of a dress, it may be said that they are usually different If one side is caught up in folds the other is generally left plain and flowing. Bonnet or hat to match the color and fabric of gown.

Summer Hosiery.

Suede colored silk stockings, with suede slippers and suede gloves, are worn with light summer dresses by those who are tired of the black stockings and slippers that have been so long in favor. Bronze colored stockings are also worn with bronze shoes or slippers. Low walking shoes are more used than they have ever been, and are either of patent leather and black kid, or else with suedo colored "uppers the stockings chosen are then either black or suedo color. Some lovers of novelty are wearing the green-white called Nile green as stockings, sash, and watered ribbon bows with white muslin dresses. Clocks, or side lines of embroidery, in self color or in contrast, are the ornaments preferred on the finest hosiery there are also fine pin dots of embroidery all over the insteps and ankles. Elaborate insertions of lace and and larger wrought flowers are now seldom seen. Mordore stockings with clear white soles are excellent for wearing with almost any dress. To wear with high shoes many ladies prefer stockings with black legs and white feet, while the reverse of this is seen in new hosiery, having the feet and ankles colored or black while the legs are white. Lisle thread and English cotton stockings are most used in suede colors, in navy blue, and black, as these go with almost any toilette. The pin checked or striped stockings of black and white, with white heels and toes, are useful and very neat looking, especially with black 1^^,—Harpers' Bazar.

Gloves.

Mousquetairo gloves are preferred to all ther styles by the majority of ladies, and tho sales of this style are far in advance of all other kinds united. There are always a few ladies who prefer gloves that button, and a number who still ask for the Bernhardt style but the latter are more in demand for traveling, riding and driving than for general wear. Gloves are quite as long as last season, from eight to twelve buttons being the desirable number, although sixbutton gloves are in good demand for general wear.

A great deal of attention is being given to the quality, style and fit of gloves. What are known as cheap gloves ore never of iirstclass cut or material, for the reason that they would command a good price if they were of prime make and stock. The lady who buys cheap gloves may be perfectly satisfied that she will never get other than tho selects— goods cheap in grade as well as price. Novelties in gloves attract but little attention among first-class trade, which is very conservative in its demands, and requires plain, long, first grade gloves, of exquisite quality and finish.—Demorest's Monthly.

Chains and Kings.

There is a tendency to cluster rings. They have been seen in leading houses, not only linger rings with the gems set in clusters, but ear rings and scarf pins as well. Tho usual arrangement is a choice colored gem in the center, with small diamonds or pearls sat around it, or a diamond hi tho center with small colored gems for tho border. So far these gem clusters have been small, about the size of an old-fashioned three-cent piece or a gold dollar.

While the Queen remains the popular chain for ladies' wear, other styles are permissible, especially if these be out of the ordinary. A unique chain seen recently consisted of two slender strands made up of alternate links of gold and platina, and barred off, here and there, with a pearl bead. This chain was the length of tho usual fancy vest chain, with a swivel at one end and a bar at the other

Primrose Pin.

A novelty just out and likely to take with everybody who affects English fashions is the primrose pin, which comes as a neck pin for indies' wear and a boutouniere for gentlemen. This is of silver, enameled to copy exactly the (lower fiom which it takes its name. Its origin is, as has leen intimated, English, and of political significance. The primrose, being tho late Disraeli's favorite flower, was adopted by his admirers and followers, who first wore the natural bloom, and this was accepted as the badge of the Primrose League club. Naturally this flower, later on, was copied in jewelry, and English men and women took it up. When Miss Frank Folsom returned from abroad it was whispered that she bad brought back a primrose pin. One enterprising reporter claimed even to have seen it on the neck of that gray traveling dress so often described.—Jewelers' Circular.

Neckwenr for Traveling.

Collars and cuffs of linen may be worn, but they are so bulky and so difficult to get laundered properly while one is in transit that many ladies use inching of canvas or scrim, having a good supply made up before starting and throwing it away as soon as soiled. Tourists' ruffling is popular and is nsed in tho same way. Borne ladies use black Brussels net lace plaited and sewed in the neck and sleeves. It has the merit of saving some trouble, but there is a freshness about a clean white ruche that makes it dear to the heart of every lady of delicate sensibilities. A square of gray or blue mull worn closely about the neck, if the roads are especially dusty, keeps the collar a little more presentable.
