BH EBP 'HOUSES.
Greater attention to housing sheep in
this country has led to economies hardly
; thought of by our fathers. Here is a bit
of experience in this lino thut may help
somebody. In the last few years we
have made a great improvement in our
manner of housing sheep. We now have
warm, comfortable sheds, covered mostly
with plank. We find what is called
ship-lap makes an excellent, covering;
but it must bo thoroughly seasoned be
fore it goes on. We make these sheds
portable, so we can move them about
once a vear from one part of the field to
another. By this means we fertilize the
farm very rapidly. We find there is a
i great -waste of manure when sheds are
X kept too long in one place. Let me des
cribe thse sheds fully: We build them
sections of sixteen feet square. We
temporary braces in these sections to
3 them from rocking, and move them
I teams from one part of the field to
her, a section at a time. This farm
rwe are living on will support a third
le sheep now than it would twelve
ago. Our best pastures will carry
-?ir snecp per acre au summer. Ameri

; TRAINING GRAPEVINES.
Many different methods are in use in
the pruning and training of grapevines,
and different results as to the quality of
fruit produced and its freedom from
disease are sometimes claimed as depend
ing on the position in which it is grown.
I lately saw an instauce, writes an Or
""if yf'yntJ vinticulturist, where
graces growing on branches from the
fame main stem but supported in an en
tirely different manner exhibited such a
marked difference in the amount of fruit
borne on each as to attract my attention.
The main vines were on the south side
of a vertical latticed trellis, twelve feet
or more in height, and were trained di
rectly upward to the top. On the op
posite side was a rough frame six feet
high, six feet wide tind about twelve
t long, of which only the top portion
vb latticed. Over this portion two or
ree branches from one of the main
is referred to had been trained, all
g horizontally along its top. Below
lattice bunches of erape3 hun in

iluc.h with their foliage formed a com

the fact these horizontally trained vines
showed fully five times as many bunches
of the grapes hanging below them
through the openings in the lattice as
could be seen on the same length or up

FLANTS FOR LATE BEJDrxG.
L It frequently happens that one is un-
i.? t
ajic, iur vanuua reasons, to raise or
cure plants desired for out door cul-
re, as early in the season as usual, and,
oo otten, because of this fact the flower
lover is led to think that it will be im
possible to have a good display of blos
soms during that season. Tnis is a mis
take, and this article is written for tbe
purpose of showing the reader how she
may have a good supply of flowers
betwtcn the time' she reads this and
frost.
Usually the quickest way to make up
for oelay in early planting, is to pur
chase plants from a florist, and the list
of suitable varieties for out door grow
ing which may be obtained in this way
includes geraniums, ageratums, coleus,
pansiea, cannas, caladiums, achjranthus,
hydrangeas, etc.; verbenas, petunias,
nasturtiums, thunbergias and other
plants of a like nature may also be found
but are not likely to be desirable plants
from the fact that they are usually the
remnants of a stock started early in the
P"ng.
By sowiDg seeds of petunias, Terbenas,
dwarf nasturtiums, mignonette, dwarf
and climbing morning-glory and sweet
peas (in a good location where it is not
too warm and where the plants may
have considerable nursing) directly in
the open ground, we will in a few wek
obtain quite a supply of plants which
will bloom abundantly before the close
of the season. Oftentimes the results
from late plants aro better than from
earlier ones, and I question greatly if a
good suppiy of fresh bloom and strong,
healthy plants in the late summer and
fall is not'more desirable than the same
effect in the early season. The House

digestion, writes Henry Stewart. Tho
feed therefore should be of tho highest
outrative quality, with as little waste
batter as may be. It should be as easily
digestible as possible. Whole corn and
cob is not such a food, and on general
urincinies u aot to b considered either
1
Ai
. -
healthful or profitable. The feeding
value of a food, as estimated by its chemi
cal constituents, is not a safe guide, as
the cob, while not without some seeming
nutritious quality, is hardly digestible,
and in this respect has about the tame
value as woody fibre in the form of a
dust. In the experience of horsemen the
cob has been suspected of dangerous
qualities and as productive of indiges
tion. Certainly it is not in any way a
food that can, under the special exigen
cies of the season, be considered useful,
safe or economical. -
But corn is an excellent food for a
horse under certain circumstances. It is
a concentrated food, it has a large pro
portion of carbohydrates ( which supply
the required heat and is suitably deficient
in the albuminoids that are not wanted
by an animal that is resting. Again, its
starchy character is such that when, in
the form of meal, it is masticated it be
comes a plastic and solid mass that is not
readily attacked by the gastric fluid, and
is thus not easily digested and is likely
to produce an attack of colic, which
while it may not be1 dangerous, yet takes
up so much of the reserved force of the
auimal as to cause a loss of food. Toe
corn, then, should be coarsely ground,
and if fed without hay will be still more
safe and profitable to feed.
, A horse of 1000 pounds needs, in ad
dition to fifteen pounds of good ti nothy
hay, not more than ten pounds of corn
coarsely ground, and this allowance of
grain may be considered as equal to fiftj
per cent, of whole grain. This supplies
about twenty pounds of dry substance
containing of digestible matters fourteen
pounds of carbohydrates, a pound and
three-fourths of albuminoids and half a
pound of fat, which is ample for a horse
of that weight, and even for one of 1200
pounds kept in a warm stable without
work, but having sufficient exercise to
keep the blood stirring and maintain a
healthful consumption of food.
A stable may be warm and yet well
supplied with fresh air. A sufficient
supply of oxygen is indispensable for the
proper change of the carbohydrates ot
the food into heat. In a close, warm,
impure atmosphere loaded with carbolic
acid this oxidation cannot go on, and
the animal becomes listless and sleepy
and the food is wasted. There tore am
ple ventilation must be provided, and a
temperature of not less than forty de
grees will be far better for the horse than
one of sixty with less fresh air. So long
as the stable does not freeze the temper
ature will be safe. Rural New Yorker.
FARM AND GARDEN NOTES..
Keep weeds out of the1 young orchard.
Washing trees with cbinmon soft soap
kills borers.
Don't forget to keep the poultry house
clean in damp weather.
Don't think that because there is
plenty of rain, the chickens do not need
fresh drinking water twice each day.
Don't let half a dozen broody hens sea
around on the nests and spoil eggs, but
break them up and get them to laying.
Only about ten per cent, of the apple
trees planted ever bear fruit, and the
chief cause of this waste is lack ot care.
An old proverb says: Wheat after
wheat, you'll have notning to eat; Rye
after rye, you'll have bread till you
die."
Don't wait till Thanksgiving to mar
ket your spring chickens, but sell them
while the price is good, and before they
"eat their heads off."
Why will our faimers persist in living
on beef and pork when fowl flesh is just
as easily and cheaply raised as eitner
and is more healthy and palatable, and
is, in fact, a luxury?
If the moths of the peach borer have
appeared, it is well to whitewash the
trunks of the trees at once. A thick
lime wash, with a tabtespoonful of Paris
green or London purple added to each
pailful, is recommended. The wash
should be applied at least two inches be
low the surface of the ground.
It is claimed that it is not so much the
growth of fruit as the formation of seed
which exhausts the tree, so by picking
off from one-half to two-thirds of the
fruit set, the tree can use its strength to
form fruit buds in the fall for the next
year's crop. It is even better to have
too little than too mucn fruit on the
trees.
Two enemies to cherry culture art
bark buisting and black knot, but with
pr oper care neither of these need be seri
ous. For bark bursting, train a low
head, beginning not more than three feet
from the ground, or else protect the
trunk from the rays of the afternoon sun
by a board fastened on the southwest
side of the tree.
Professor Robertson, of Canada, says
that in preparing corn for the silo, if you
allow the stalks to wilt for a day after
cutting you will have a delicious aroma.
Cultivate close to the corn when young
to admit the air, and loosen the soil so
that the roots will spread, but when
larger do not go so near or o deep. This
will make a difference of several ton3 to
the acre.
Make up your mind not to go another
year without Laving hay caps enough to
cover all the hay left in the field over
night. Made of good, stout, unbleached
cotton cloth two yards square, they need
not cost more than twenty-five cents,
each, and if properly cared for will last
twenty vears, and they will save their
cost in one rain, and almost in protecting
the hay from heavy dews.
Among the insect destroyers do not
forget the hogs, sheep and hens in the
apple orchard. Those who are afraid of
spraying with poisonous solutions need
not be afraid of this, nor of burning up
tbe rubbish heaps around the fields that
are likely to serve as harboring places this
winter for cocoons, eggs or adult insect
A"d liberal m inuring and good cultiva
tion protects many plants from serious
injury that would be killed by insects if
poorly fed and cared for. "It is the

Of the 82,320 Prisoner in the United
btatet '7380 Were Charged.
"With Homicide LTvncft
ings and ixecat Ion.
V-ENriUS Office statistics of homi-
f cide in the United States, wnich
V baye just been issued, areamong
the moat interesting bulletins
yet publisned. The facts were gathered
by Special Agent Frederick W. Wines,
who has charae of the statistics on pau
perism and crime, and in an editorial
summary Superintendent Porter declares
t bat the re jort, solar as it goes, is com
plete and final.
The report is bastd on the criminal
record ot 1390, and shows that of 82 ,
329 . prisoners in the United States on
June 1, 1830, the numoer charged with
homicide wa73?6, or 8.97 percent.
Omitting 35 w.io were cnarged with
double crime?, 69 jS of' them (or 91.63
per cent.) were men, aud 393 (or 5.35
percent.) were wo nen. As to color,
4425 were white, 2739 negroes, 94 Chi
nese, 1 Japanese and 92 Indians. Of the
4425 whites, 3157 were born in the
United States, 1213 were foreign born,
and the birthplace of 55 is unknown.
A careful ajd accurate inquiry into the
parentage of those born in the United
States results in the mathematical con
clusion that 56.14 per cent, of homicide
commited by white women and men is
chargeable to the native white element
of the population, and 43.86 per cent,
to the foreign element. On the same
scale of 4614 to 3605, the nero contri
bution to homicide is represented by
5478.
More than one-half of the foreign born
whites are unnaturalized, and nearly one
fifth are unable to spsak the English
language.
In respect to age, prisoners charged
with homicide range from 11 to 86
years. One-sixth of thetn are under 24
years, and mora than one-half under 33
years of age. Their average age is 34
years and 193 days. The lowest aver
ages are among the Indians, 30 years
and 180 days, and the negroes, 30 years
and 279 days. The highest are among
the Chinese, 37 years and 246 days, and
the foreign born whites, 41 years and
159 days. The average ase of women
coarged with homicide is 32 jears and
216 days. The a?es at which homicide
was committed are estimated to be at
least 5 years below the averages here
stated. Nearly one-half of this group of
prisoners were found to be unmarried.
The number of unmarried was 3615;
married, 2715; widowed, 703; di
vorced, 144.
The percentage of those who can both
read and write is 61.73; of those who
can reaid only, 4.84 ; of those who can
do neither, 33.43. Of the negroes, more
than one-half can -neither read nor
write; of the Jndians, nearly two-thirds.
The percentage of illiteracy among the
foreign born is nearly or quite three
times as great as that among the native
whites. The number who have received
a higher education is 253, or 3.44 per
cent.
More than four-fifths have no trade.
The foreign born and their children havi
much more generally acquired a trade
than the native whites, and the native
whiles than the negroes. J
The occupations of 6546 prior to in
carceration have been ascertained, and
are grouped as follows: Professional,
102; official, 33; agricultural, 1802;
lumber, 29; mining, 213; fisheries, 19;
trade and commerce, 173 ; transportation,
380; manufactures and mechanical in
dustries, 1086; personal service 690;
unskilled lab jr, 2253; miscellaneous, 21.
The number employed at the time ol
their arrest was 5659 unemployed,"1225 ;
unknown, 467. The habit3 of 973, in
respect of use of intoxicating liquors, are
not stated. The remaining 6378 are
classed as follows: Total abstainers,
1232 ; occasional or moderate drinkers,
3329; drunkards, 1257.
The number arrested and imprisoned
in.the State of their residence was 6268;
out of the State, 861; 463 had served as
soldiers in the Civil War, 534 were known
to have served a previous term of im.
prison men t and 224 were Federal pris
oners. As to tneir physical condition,
6149 were in good health, 600 ill, 233
insane, 21 blind, 14 deaf and dumo, 18
idiots and 263 crippled.
Of prisoners charged with homicide,
more than one-eignth were awaiting
trial. Of those convicted, 153 we're
awaiting execution, 24 J6 sentenced for
life, 815 for twenty years or over, 1438
for trom ten to -nineteen years, and 1395
for less than ten years. The average sen
tence less than life is 13 years and 292
days. It is greater for men than for
wo.nen, and for negroes than for white3.
The highest average sentence is pro
nounce! upon Chinamen.
The number of cases classed as murder
was 5548, of which nearly oue-half re
ceived a life sentence. The numbei
classed as manslaughter is 1701, of which
nearly one-half received a sentence of
over ten years.
Of the 158 prisoners awaiting execu
tion 49 were found in the Kansas Pen
itentiary, no date having been fixed fqi
their execution by any Qoveraor since
1872. The death penalty is thus prac
tically abolished in Kansas, though not
by statute. The only States in wnica it
has been abolisned by law are Rhode
Island, Michigan and' Wisconsin. Tne
figures pub! sued do not indicate any in
crease in the number of homicdes as the
result of such aboliLon.
In the Tenth Census there were re
ported 4603 prisoners charged with
homicide. In the Eleventh Census the
nu-nber is 7351. Tnis is an increase of
59.53 per cent., while the increase in
the total population has been only 24.86
per cent. But it is largely-explained by
the great length of sentences for homi
cides, in consequence of which the ma
jority of those reported in 1830 are again
reported, in 1890, together with those
since convicted of the same offence.
The County Sheriffs repotted 156
executions during the calendar year
1SS9, of which 94 were in the South
Atlantic and South Central divisions.
They have also reported 117 lynchings,
of which. 94 (the same number) were in
the same divisions. New York Tel

A STYLISH TA.ILOB COSTUME.
In Paris, pale fawn color and moss, or
the paler pine green, are used in combi

worn by a young lad v just returned from
this great centre of fashions is made of
soft fawn colored summer cloth, with a
bi aiding around the skirt hem of dark
green soutache braid. This braiding
goes all around the skirt, including the
back breadths, and it also appears on
the front of the very ample French guard
waistcoat. The three-quarter jacket is of
the fawn cloth, with facings, revers, and
deep cape collar of dark green cloth.
The garment is lined with green and
gold shot surah. A navy blue traveling
cotume made by Worth is stitched on the
hem of the skirt with very heavy threads
of dark blue rope silk, and the deep

pale almond cloth tufted with dark blue

in solemn conclave on the results of other
people's ingenuity to learn that the C.

vented a cart for carrying dirt out of
mines and tunnels, to the great saving of
animal labor, is a woman. Under the
impression that she was a man, they have
conferred upon her the title of Membre
d'Honneur, with a first class diploma
and a big gold medal.
All this Miss Cynthia Westover found
in a large official-looking envelope that
came to her addressed to C M. West

of the French board discover -their mis

These particular specimens were

and thus transported to market. The
expense of transportation by pipe line is
very small compared with that by rail.
Instead of its riding in a car on wheels it
rides in water in a finely atomized con
dition. The quantity of coal that can
be carried in this way in a given time is
astonishing. A pipe of four inches di
ameter at 1200 pounds pressure per
square inch will deliver over 300 tons
per day; a twel re-inch pipe will deliver
5000 tons, and a twenty-four inch pipe
will deliver 23,000 tons per twenty-four
hours. It is proposed, in carrying oat
this principle on a large scale, to hare
pumping stations from thirty miles
apart, according, to grade. Ksw York

Do you know that the state of the blood run
nine in your veins is the cause of vour sicknesi
or your health ? This is a most im
nortant mat
ter, although overlooked by people who show
a great deal of good sense otherwise. Your
blood has to be kept pure, or your whole system
gradually becomes a wreck. It costs very little
to check disease and correct the state of the
blood if the matter is taken up in time ; but it
costs a great deal, and is ften impossible, if
taken np after disease has gained a foothold.
