It may be made at home, and so made is cheaper and better than any which can be purchased. Scrape or cut into small pieces anv pure toap and melt it. Ae soon as the soap is melted Uke the dish from the fire and stir into the mixture clean, dry sea sand that has been heated. Use nearly as much fand as you have soap. As soon as the mixture i6 cool enough to handle, roll it into balls between the palm of . the hands and put the balls into a /' dark, cool place to harden and dry. 1 r Charles W. C;iss. of New York City, President of the Cnss Realty Corporation, an important investment company which invests its clients' money of iarjje or small amounts exclusively in New York City rent-bearing real estate, puts new meaning into the statement that "debt is a curse." He saysj "Every dollar of interest charge sooner or later comes out of labor. A merchant starts business on $1000 cash $5000 borrowed money. His Interest is charged on the price of his goods. Every dollar of public and corporate and business debt is a burden on Jabor and takes toll from the "product of labor" which should belong to the worker.

If this water is duly conducted into a cistern in the barn basement, and filtered before j using, it is much the best water the Btock can have for drink. In the basement the water will never be down to freezing temperature, which is an important matter, as every degree oi cold has to be warmed to animal heat by the carbonaceous food that the animal has digested.

A generation ago it was quite the fashion in .this country to plant foreign trees, both for shade and for profit. Quite a number of plantations were made of Scotch larch, Austrian pine and other trees of foreign growth. This was especially the case with some plantations in Massachusetts, and the use of foreign trees was recommended by some of the higher authorities in I tViio The taqiiH. has nroved a -vw'*w? ??W ------ ? X serious mistake. Tiie foreign trees have not been thrifty or profitable. The native trees have far outstripped them in growth, in vigor and in profit. The fact is we have a greater variety of native trees in this countrv ^aji any other nation oan boast, and it would seem to be far better policy to develop oar own native resources, rather than to attempt doubtful experiments with foreign trees. Even those experts who recommended the planting of foreign trees in years gone by have withdrawn that recommenda liuu, uuu uuw pi. uiux mc unvuv d^ovimens.?Boston Cultivator. SPRING TREE PLANTING. Persons desiring to plnnt trees in the spring will do well to dig the holes for the trees in the fall or at any time in the winter when the ground is not frozen. Usually trees are planted in clay soils. The freezing and thawing Hues the earth nroond the sides of the hole and also the earth thrown out of tho hole. If this is placed in a heap as it should be it 6heds the water and is dry enough for planting much earlier in the season than earth from newly dug holes. This plan also facilitates early spring planting. The holes should be two feet in diameter and two feet deep. Mr. Vergon, who has large orchards near Delaware, pursues this plan in all his planting and when going over his place a few weeks ago, I saw hundreds of holes ready for spring planting. The soil was in choice condition for the trees. It had been raining nearly all day yet on examination we found the soil iQ suitable condition for immediate planting. If water is standing in the holes when planting time comes it is baled out. Mr. Vergon's orchards have been planted in Bod away from the trees he has. He has succeeded in securing nice thrifty bearing trees of nearly every tree planted. The loth of December he had about 6000 bushels of choice apples in his fruit cellars.? Silver Knight. CROSSING DUCKS FOR MARKET. Every attempt made to procurs choice ducks for market by crossing the breeds has resulted in dissatisfaction compured with the use of the pure bred Pekins. The Cayuga and Pekin cross is an excellent one, but the black pin-feathers of the Cavugs make picking more laborious. Crosses of Kouens and Pekins have not giver any advantages, and the same is true of the Aylesbury and Peking Cross The cross of the Muscovy drake and Pekin ducks gives fine market birds, but the cross-bred birds are quite sterile, their eggs not hatching. Sc far the Pekin seems to hold its ground as a market duck against all competi tors. Ducks should be laying eggs al this season of the year, and if properlj managed they will do much bette: than hens. Give them animal food such as ground meat, at least onre t day, and also a mess of cut clover ! scalded. They prefer soft food, subl ! as cooked turnips, thickened wit! equal parts of bran and cornmeal which provides an excellent meal foi them. If laying regularly, give then a meal three times a day. Keep th< floor of their quarters covered tw< inches deep with straw, and also keej the quarters clean, as ducks will no thrive on damp floors.?Farm unc Fireside. CAVALRY HORSES.

Each horse will be ( subjected to a rigid inspection, and any animal that does not meet the j above requirements in every respect . will be rejected. A horse under four ' years old will not be accepted unless he be an especially fine animal well developed. Every accepted animal must be provided with a strong hemp halter free of charge to the Govern. ment. feeding the soil. The trouble with most farmers is, ! they are eternally taking from the soil and never adding to it. There are , many ways to feed it. Use all the stable manure you can get, haul out in , November and plow under, so that , it will not rot through the winter, i But there are cheaper ways of feeding . than with stable manure. The last time you plow the com, bow cow , peas, cut and shock the fodder, which makes good feed for cattle and horses, just before the frost turn the pea vines under. This improves the land greatly for next year's crop, besides having , ground in good shape next spring. Follow oats with sowed corn. Immediately after oats are cut, break the ground, and eow about one bushel of corn per acre, which will come up im1 mediately and grow fast. Let it get about waist high, put a good heavy chain on your plow and turn under the 1 corn, which will soon rot. This can be sown to wheat, or back to oats in the spring, or to corn. Another excellent way is to sow rye the last time 1 you plow the corn. This will make one of the finest fall and winter pastures. Plow under in the spring if you 1 want to plant back to corn. Or if to wheat, let it get up ready to head out and plow under. Be sure not to let the seed mature, or it will ruin the * * m _/ xi 1 wneai. xrv some 01 iuo auuve pmuo, and you will be well paid for your irouble.?Coleman's Rural World. EGGS FOR HATCHING. Eggs for hatching should only be saved from strong, well-mated fowls. Upon this, to a great extent, depend the fertility of the eggs, and the vigor of the young chicks. When the weather is severe the eggs should be gathered several times a day; an egg that has been the least bit frosted won't hatch. Eggs intended for hatching should be carefully laid upon a soft cloth in a single layer and turned every day, and should never be kept over four weeks. Fresh eggs hatch better and make stronger chick9. There is an easy way of testing eggs for hatching. Inside the large end of ! a fre9h egg there is a small empty space about two inches in circumference. This circle can be seen through the shell by holding between a strong light and the eye. If the egg ia several weeks old, this circle is considerably enlarged, and if a watery substance can be seen in this enlarged circle, when the egg is moved, lay it aside, for it is a spoilt egg so far as hatching is concerned. When necessary to order eggs to introduce new blood into the flock, it ia best to set them as near home as possible. They are less liablo to becomo "* * -l 11 damaged, ana toe express onurges win not be near so high a3 when ordered from a distance. When setting valu1 able eggs, it is a good plan to dia1 tribute them among several hens; 1 then if one should leave the nest or 1 prove a poor sitter, there will not be 1 an entire loss.?New England Home, stead. 1 FOUR WATS OF FEEDING COBN. 1 The Vermont Experiment Station has reported its test of feeding the corn orop to ruilch cows to determine the best method of preserving the corn plant for winter use. 1 Four methods were tried: 1. The ' whole plant was run through the out" ter into the silo.\ 2. The ears were ! husked, cribbed, dried, and ground, ^ cob and all, and fed with the Btalks, that had been made into silage. 3. 1 j The corn was cut and cured in large } I shocks, and before feeding was run 1 j through a cutter, ears and all. 4. The } corn was husked from the fodder, 3 ground with the cob, and fed with the I stover that was cut as needed. ' Analysis showed that the loss from 1 each method was practically the same, ' except whore the shocks were left ex' posed as the winter progressed the " loss increased. In the silage the ears ^ lost more of their value than in the 7 shock or crib. Time and money spent r husking and grinding the ears was wasted, as better results were obtained 1 when the ears were left on the stalks > and all run through the cutter before 1 feeding. The silage forms were most 1 relished by the cows and the dairy ? product greatest. r The experiments confirm the com1 mon opinion that for dairy cows the =* corn crop in the form of silage is more 3 valuable than in dry fodder and meal. 5 For steer feeding there is some evi' dence going to show that steers feed ' on shock corn run through the cutter, ears and 6taiks, make better growth than where the corn iB husked and the fodder and ears or meal fed separately. j | Oregon has 25,000 acres of prune i , orchards. i'Ol'ULAIi SCIENCE. | The most recent estimate of geolog- I 38ta. as to the age of Niagara Falls ia nine thousand yearn.

Down in the livery stable of William Simpson, on Central avenue, is as strange a looking horse as manias ever seen.

The mare can boast no mane or forel.ock.and her i stump of a tail is only sparsely covered with short hairs. When she sheds hex coat according to 'the regular horsey custom the tail is as bare as a rat's. This oddity in horseflesh comes of good stock, having been nired by St. Arnard, her mother being a bay mare of good Hambletonian lineage.

It consists of a tiny lantern 'Jfith sides of very stout glass, mounted upon a stirrup which straddles the foot of the aser, a tongue resting od the toe of the foot, and acting as a part of the support. There are several meansi of furnishing light for this curious lamp. Electricity and oil are the most common. The former is likely to roe tho most popular method from the fact that there is no danger ot grease leaking out upon the shoe.
