I New 1'ututu Ntw Flower How to
Carve a Turkey.
The turkey being, so to speak, our
national bird, every man, woman, boy
and girl ought to know how to skillfully
carve it, while in point of fuct not one
adult in ten understands tho art of dis
secting this noble fowl.
CARYINQ A TURRET.
A skillful carver places the fork In the
bird and does not remove it until the
whole is divided. The turkey having been
relieved of tarings and skewers used in
trussing, should be placed on the table
with the head or uock at the carver's left
band.
First insert the fork firmly as indicated
in the figure, then removo the whole leg
nnd thigh by a cut shown at a; next re
move the wing by a cut, as at b, letting
these parls lie on tho platter. Then cut
downward as many slices from the breast,
the white meat, as may ho desired (as
shown in the lines ate); then make an
openiii'? into tho cavity of the bird, hid
den in the iiguro here given, by tho leg,
for diiim; out the inside dressing. Next
separate the leg from t lie thigh or second
joint. The side bono is removed by cut
ting down from above as shown at dd.
Tho wing gives one good cut, that nearest
tho body. If one side of tho turkey is
not sutlicicnt, the other may lie carved in
(ho same maimer as described.
l'lonil NokIIiIh.
The recent chry.-anlhemnm show in
New York city did a good work for every
body interested ill these most valuable
nnd attractive of fall and winter llowers,
by calli ig attention to new and desirable
varieties. There are three classes of chrys
anthmums; the Chinese bearing a large,
loose lhiwer; the pompons, with small
double ilower, and the Japanese, with
ragged fringe like (lowers. From these
have resulted numerous hybrids. A
Chinese variety, with incurved petals is
attracting atteutiou.
THE CHINESE IMTRVED TTPK.
A Japanese variety just introduced to
the public as "Mrs. G rover Clcvland"
bea-s pure white (lowers with straight
ro ind petals ointing downward. Anothi r
newcomer of Japanese parentage chris
tened "Lily Langtry" is n mass of yellow
tangled and ragged petals. The new rose
Papa Gautier" introduced by John Hen
derson it is believed will run a lwck race
with "American lieauty" and tho "Ben
nett" for favor.
The cactus promises to displi.ee orchids
as a fashionable craze, and a Japan prim
rose (Primala obconica) has suddenly be
come a favorite for window plants at tho
north and west.
' Preserving Cabbage In Trent-lies.
Amateurs read in one agricultural jour
nal how cabbages arc stored, heads down
with great success; in another journal
they read how cabbugs are stored, roots
down, with equal success. This apparent
contradiction is puzzling to beginners, but
fd'l cultivators understand what makes
t!i9 two modes perfectly practicable.
Placing cabbage compactly in a trench,
with the heads down, applies only to those
fully headed. The main object in invert
ing them being to turn off the water. But
there are immature cabbages to bo stored.
Cabbages that require further heading
and sometimes more growth. These aro
properly placed in trenches, roots down,
tj us to.kcep them olive.
' Winter Storing of Celery.
Celery can be stored by burying in the
row where it grew, by placing in trenches,
or by packing in sand in a dark, cool cel
lar. The lirst method is the one most
practiced in the southern states. Tho
usuul plan among eastern and northern
growers is to pack it away in narrow
trenches.
The storing trenches are made about a
foot wide, or the width of a spade, and
deep enough to
.5? receive the entire
plants standing
erect, the roots
being slightly
covered with
earth at the bot
tom. The plants

How to Make Superphosphate.
In all sections of the country the value
of superphosphates as a fertilizer is ap
preciated. Many farmers would make
their own superphosphates if they knew
just how to manage the intrredicnts Any
oue who has au apparatus for steaming
food for cattle, can ui'ike superphosphate
In quick stylo by admitting steam from
the boiler Into the barrel containing the
water, acid and ground bones. The heat
thus generated quickens the dissolution
of. the bones in wonderful manner, and
flB
mtiimm
mimwr
If the process ( properly conducted It will
not tAke over twenty-four hours. It la
Indispensable that the barrel be tightly
covered to retain the steam.
If yon have Inch bone ground In a bone
mill and feel yon cannot alTord to purchase
sulphuric acid to work It up into super
phosphate, you can reduce the bones to a
flno powder by mixing three parts of
loamy soil to one part of the ground bono.
The bone will soon begin to heat aud fer
ment. Then it will cool off, when you
must work tho mass thoroughly. It will
then begin to reheat and f remont nnd cool
down again, and you must coutiuuo to
work it over uutil brought to tho proper
state of fineness.
Crop of the Country.
Mr. Dodgo statician to the department
of agriculture, states that the area of
Iudian corn iu tho United States bos In
creased 20 per cent, withiu the post six
years. Corn occupies more than half the
area in ccrcaU and produces greater value
than any other crop, except grasses, for
hay and pasture According to the last
crop report, tho average yield this season
is 123 bushels per acre, or lJGS.OOO.OOO
bushels.
Tho wheat yield for the country i3 esti
mated to bo about 4.W,000,000 or 12tf
bushels per aero. Rye will yield u little
less than wheat, or 11.8 bushels per acre.
The oat crop was badly damaged in 60V
eral of the largo producing states. Tho
average yield Is estimated at about 20,
bushels per acre, which insures a crop of
over OUO,000,000 bushels. The general
average of tho barley crop is 22.4 per
acre, which is above tho average for a
series of years, lluckwheat promises a
product exceeding 11, 000,1)00 bushels. Tho
average yield for the buy crop is close upon
'l.l.OOD.Oiit) tons. The potato product shows
higher yields in the east and lower iu tho
west than last year, giving a product for
tho wholo country of llio.OOO.OUO bushels.
Onions for Winter Vug
There are many ways of keeping good,
sound, ripe, dry onions. The great point
Is to keen them dry. You must remem
ber t hat even n ripe, dry onion contains
at least bO per cent, of water, and when
a large mass of them are kept together
they are liable to sweat and the skins and
tops become damp, and, if the tempera
ture is above freezing, they will throw
0 it roots and begin to grow. Joseph
Harris, in The American Agriculturist,
says: ."If necessary to keep onions in a
large mass put them in a dry pin :e, such
as a shed or a barn." In many localities
they will freeze solid and stay frozen till
the spring, in which case they must be
well covered to keep them from thawing.
In smaller quantities onions can bo
placed iu slat boxes, holding about a
bushel each. The lower boxes should bo
placed on boards and not on the cellar
(loor. Pile tho boxes one above tho other
in such a way as to "break joints" and
admit of a circulation of air all round
and through tho boxes.
MiixiniM for Grape Grower.
1. Give the vine plenty of manure, old
and well decomposed, for fresh manure
excites growth but does not mature it.
2. Remember that luxuriant growth does
not always insure fruit. 3. Dig deep but
plant shallow. 4. Young vines produce
beautiful fruit, but old vines yield the
richest. 5. Plant your vines before put
ting up trellises. 0. Prune in autumn
to insure growth, but in spring to promote
fruitfulness. 7. Yines love the sun; the
fruit, the shade. 8. A bunch of grapes
without a healthy leaf opposite is liko a
ship at sea without a rudder, it cannot
come to port. 0. Laterals are like poli
ticians: if not checked they nre the worst
of thieves.
ritclifork Handles.
I don't like the way pitchfork handles
are made. The handles are top large
round toward tho fork. I had oho such
and the men all shunned it. I used it nnd
my hand wus cramped grasping so large
a hold. I could get no others at the store.
so I bought two of tho usual size and
shape. 1 took them into my shop mid
with plane and spoke shavo altered one
third of the lower part to an oval, the
widest way up nnd down. These forks
nro now the favorites. Kural New
Yorker.
A Potato of Promise.
The best potato among fiOft varieties in
any fair test is certainly a high (list Miction.
A seedling, which has been christened
"Rural .tcv Yorker N'o. 2," has been
singled out as worthy of distinction on
the experimental farm of The llural ?7ew
Yorker. This seedling produced tho past
season an extra large yield of large,
smooth, shapely tubers, characterized by
uniformity of size, excellent quality and
few eyes. This potato has been placed in
the hands of a leading New York seeds
man for propagation and dissemination.
To Increase Flow of Milk.
The following advice is applicable to
every farmer who keeps cows. Especial
ly if followed during tho winter season.
Give your cows three times a day water
slightly warm, sligthly salted, in which
bran has been stirred at the rate of one
quart to two gallons of water. You will
lind that the cow will not only give much
more milk, but she will become much at
tached to the diet. The amount of this
drink necessary is an ordinary water pail
full each time, morning, noon and night.
FnrU Farmers Ought to Know.
Good results from bagging grapes re
ported from every section. Clover makes
the farm rich.
Fay's prolific currant has sustained its
good character us a Uig yiclder of the
largest sized red currants.
A short clip of wool is one of the effects
of drought reported from Texas.
Tho marked ndvinco in the price of
wool is the natural result of the general
shortage in the wool clip.
Wynndottes and the better strains of
Plymouth Kocks, appear to le running a
neck to neck race for popularity as general
purpose fowls.
Ventilation is better than refrigeration,
say leading fruit dealers.
Everybody who has a stock of hops on
hand is happy on account of the marked
advance in prices.
Good sized horses sre in demand.
Apples are plentiful and there is a fair
export trade.
It pays to bum the garden over after
the grass and weeds are fully dried. Fire
iu the fall saves much weeding in the
spring.
Lovett. the nursery man, nses flrrt a
cushioned head for pressing npples into
a barrel in packing. Several newspapers
may be employed Instead, under the per

newspapers are removed niter the npplea
are pressed, nnd the permanent head is

The Saddle Sulky.
A new sulky has recently been patented by
Charles F. Stollnian, M. D., of New York,
with a curved azlo, to admit the rear of the
horse between the wheels. This Kriuits the
horse to turu unii his center of motion,
thereby making riding very safe, as the sulky
becomes like a part of tho horse. It would le
especially serviceable on rough roads or where
ordinary vehicles cuimot be used.

I.lfo with a llroken Neck.
Tho Chicago Journal tells the story of a
remarkable case of fracture of the spine and
cord. Mr. Andrew Hamilton was "coaching"
some college men iu the gymnasium, am!,
while showing home simple performance on a
low crossbar, dropped about four or live feet
on the mattress. By some peculiar wrenching
of tho neck he cracked tho flfth cervical bone
and compressed the spinal cord. From that
moment on the whole of tho body below tho
neck was completely insensible; nor could ho
move a single muscle, except to contract two
fingers on each hand. Ho had to call the at
tendant to open tho hand. Ho was kept alive
on milk, which was poured down his mouth,
and his body was supported by floating it on
a rubber sheet in a tub of water. His mind
was perfectly clour; ho talked, read the dally
papers, and even consulted his professor on
reading a mathematical work. This contin
ued for fourteen days. Ho then broke down
and died on the sixteenth day after the fall.
It seemed hardly possible that life should
conthiuo and tho brain go on acting if the
cord were severed, nnd yet tho post mortem
examination showed plainly that tho cord
was reduced to a mass of pus.

It would perhaps be a service to one pur

and who has no experienced horse fancier ut
hand to examine any horse offered with ref
erence to the above list. If after careful
examination he Amis tbtt none of tho imper
fections appear, ho may be reasonably cer
tain of getting a sound horse so far as the ex

there are others which cannot be laid down

IVInd ss at Seed Cnrrlrr.
At the recent meeting of the scientists at
Cambridge Alfred Kussell VVallm-e, the Eng
lish naturalist, read a paper on "The Winds
ns a Sel Carrier in Relation to the Difficult
Problems in Geographical Distribution."
Some species of plants common in northern
climates, many of them being in the Arctic
flora, have a wide distribution in the sou-hem
hemisphere. There aro five prominent
causes of seed distribution: First, sea cur
rents; second, birds; third, tvils of marsh
plants adhering to tho foet of birds; fourth,
sticky seeds which attach themselves to tho
feathers of birds; flfth, wind. The power of
the wind in transjtorting seeds Is not yet de
termined, but there is evidence that it con
transport light seeds to a (treat distance.
Dust from the Java eruption a few years ago
was found on the decks of vessels at 1.000
miles distant. Must of the northern
plants introduced into the south are very
light seeded ones, lighter than the dust.
Whether or not w ind is the agency for trans
porting these seeds, thnse evidences go to
show that it at least has the power.
An Arrldental Dliicovery.
Since it has been dis.siver.xl that the sen.

Prof. Herien has re-ently shown from vivi
sectional experiments the intimate relation
between cold and touch. An injury to the
cortex of the brain that dertrnys the sense of
touch in any region will usually also destroy
the sense of rolL Cut in one rase cutting

of any kind, exerted toward other work

the gravest character against all labor and
the welfare of laboring men, upon whom
the consequences of such things always
finally fall more heavily than on any olhci

It would be difficult to compact more
good sense in an equal space. When labor
organizations practically embody the prin
ciplcs so well stated by Senator Edmunds,
they will best consult the interests of labor,
and at the same time give the general com
ruuuity no just cause for complaint.
