The telescop< shows us what is invisible to the hu man eye, and photography shows ut what the telescope alone fails to reveal A portion of the heavens exposed for hours to the telescopic camera gives a photograph of. stars the existence “6f] which could not otherwise be recog: nized.” Julian Mainwaring, one of those Whc heard the lecture, was of an inquiring turn of mind. “If an invisible star,” he reasoned, “may be photographed by long exposure; why not -an invisible spirit?’ The more he thought on the subject the more he felt disposed tc make an attempt to test the truth of his theory. He took up his camera and going to his homestead, now in charge of a caretaker, went to a room on the second floor, placed’ an old rocking chair in a window and planted hi: camera to point toward it. “There,” he said to himself; “if grand mother exists and is moving about among us in an inyisible body, she {¢ sure to be there where she always sat in the afternoon at her needtéwork.” Now, it 80 bappened that Julia: Mainwaring bad a cousin, Kate Main Waring, in the wenian’s college of ahe uniyersity, to whom he confided his ex periment, Kate confided the matter t¢ a friend, and in the afternoon the two girls visited the homestead, carrying between them a large gripsack, That evening Julian removed hi’: plate and the next day made a proof When he came to examine the result oi his labor, be nearly collapsed with as tonishment. While he was examinin it he received a note frgm his cousin Kate asking him to come in the even ing and let her know the result of his spirit photography. He was dying witt a desire to communicate his success t¢ some one and could searcely walt for evening. When he arrived, he founc several of Kate's classmates and sev eral of his own. “Come, Julian,” said Kate as soon a: he entered. “We are all anxious tc learn the result. Did you get grand mother on your plate?” » “I got something very queer,” he re plied, produciug his proof. It was s good deal blurred, as might be expect ed from a ghost picture, but there wat recognizable not a wrinkled old woman but a pretty young girl. Kate threw) up her hands. - “Grandma !\ she exclaimed. “Why. it's a young gif,” said one o1 the fellows, 7 “It's grandma as a girl,” sald Kate. “You don't mean it!” cried one of the girls. “Wonderful!” exclaimed another. “What a pleasure to know,” remark ed one of the fellows, “that women al least ate always young In the spirit land.” “And frivolous,” said one cf the girk more given to flirting than to study. “At any rate, they wear becoming clothes—the clothes they wore at thr most attractive age.” “Why, it’s grandma's pink silk,” saic Kate. “Mamma bas it up stairs in a trunk.” . “What is she doing?” “Sewing, but she’s put down her work and—would you believe it she's taking a pinch of snuff,” “Snuff! A young girl take shuff!” “Grandma did as an-old woman, ano that’s her snuffbox. It’s among ou heirlooms.” “If they dress young, they should act! young. No girl ever took snuff.” “Julian, old fellow,” said one of his classmates, “tell us how you got it.” “You_see, old Grim in his_lecture the other dday,/speaking of stellar photogra- phy”— . “Yes; we all beard that. Go on.” “Well, it oceurred to me fo try th principle on spirits. I've heard father say that my great-grandmother, who died forty-five years ago at a very old age, used to sit every afternocn in the old rocking chair at a certain window. I resolved to try the camera on her. 1 left it exposed eight hours, You see the result. I don’t know what it means any more than you do.” “IT have heard Kate bas the power of calling up spirits,” said one of her classmates, “1 never heard of it,” said Julian, “Try it, Kate.” ere was a universal demand for & eve from the hostess, so to quiet the clamor she called: . “Come forth, grandma!’ . A door opened, and the counterpart of the spirit photograph walked into the room. She wore grandma’s pink silk, though the color was nearly gone; grandma's shoe buckles. grandma’s powdered wig, and in her hand she held grandma's snuffbox, from which she proceeded to take an imaginary pinch. Julian Mainwaring stood looking’ at the apparition with eyes and mouth wide open. The others, all of whom were watching the effect upon him, burst into a laugh. Seeing that he had been made the victim of a practical joke, his eyes flashed ominously. “Come, Julian,” sald Kate; “we've only had a little fun. You mustn’t mind our kittenish ways.” , “T thought I told you my plan in con- fidence,” retorted Julian severely. “So you did, and I told Julie in confi. dence, and between us two we resolved to play a game on you. What will you take to forgive us?” * Julian looked at the pretty “madeup” girl longingly. : “T think,” he sald, “if grandma would give me a kiss I would forgive you.” Grandma paid the penalty, and the room was cleared for a dance, JOAN TREVOR. 3 Summer Wangings. The newest draperies for the sum cottage are boldly effective and ye ordzinal. There are Algerian rugs ma of hemp and decorated with the me eccentric patterns shawing green dr ons on blue grounds, giant flowers brilliant red against a background soft brown and other odd but strikti and decorative conceits, These har ings are heavy in weight and well su: ed to ward off the too cool breeze fre: adrafty doorway or exposed corner «: the veranda, but as they are not soft « woolly they do not attract every part cle of dust in the vicinity to find 108; ment iu their meshes. Some of the new madras are in mo: artistic designs. One of white Is div! ed into squares by lines of gold, an some of these squares frame a conve! tlonalized dragon in dull, soft color: When this stuff is held up to-the+tigh it has the effect of a stained glass win dow. Another madras is in shades o. rose, light brown and green in a design suggestive of the Beauvais tapestry. Walter Crane patterns tn these di aphanous hangings show the decora this artist, with which we have’ become familiar within the last flye years, A design of conventionalized pumpkins and squashes in shades of yellow from pale. gold to deep orange, with green stems and stems to relleve the glow of color, is characteristic of Lis work in this line. The Fad In Sash Curtains White muslin, fishnet, cluny and re- nalssance lace sash curtains will soon have to go. It Is one of the prevailing fads to replace them with sash eur- tains of India silk of the daintiest, palest shades. Strong, vivid hues are considered bad style. Mrs. Clarence Mackay, who has just had completed a handsome country residence at Ros- lyn, on Long Island, has every window in the house beautifully draped in sash curiains of pale pink India silk tled back with bands and bows of old rose satin ribbon. The effect is delightful. Another woman, who is rather a rival of Mra. Mackay’s fn matters of good taste, has copied ber fad and bas cur- tained her entire country house with sash curtains of yellow silk. She, how- ever, bas chosen rather a heavy ribbed silk. The curtains are unlined and are of pale canary color. ‘They are ted back with silver cords and tassels, For Filmy Veils.

Place layers of white silk inside 10 by 18 inebes and 10 by 15 Inehes. Use two yards and a half of silk tape for bind- ing and strings and two-yards~ and three-quarters of lace for trimming. A case like this will be found most con venient for carrying veils when travel ing. The case makes a very smal! pack- age when rolled and tied with the rib- bons. The Science of Milk Paddings. The largest amount of farinaceons graing and powders to be used to ove quart of milk equals two ounces, If too large a proportion is used, the starch grains have not room to swell, Powders such as’ cornstarch and ground rice must be mixed to a thin paste before adding the milk. Powders and smali grains, such as semolina and small sago, are boiled till clear in the milk before putting in the baking dish. Farinaceous pudding must be cooked slowly, so that the starch grains will have time to swell and thus thicken the intlk better. ‘ Large grains, such as rice, are best cooked without the addition of eggs. Small grains, such as semolina, ahd powders are improved by adding eggs. Eggs must not be added till the grains have been boiled in the milk; also not till the mixture has cooled or the eggs will curdle. The surface should only be lightly browned and the use of nutmeg be sparing. Skimmilk may be used if a little piece of butter or dripping is put in with the milk to replace the creain or fat of miik which bas been removed. If you do not wish the pudding to belt while in the oven, stand the dish in a baking pan containing water. A tiny pinch of bicarbonate of soda wiil often prevent the milk froin cur. dling in the puddings in hot weather. Scent Powder For Linen. An ounce coriander, an ounce orris root, an ounce rose lenves, an ounce aromatic calamus, two ounces laven- der flowers, a quarter dram rhodium wood, five grains miisk, Mix all well together, feduce to a coarse powder and place in muslin bags.

Withycombe of the Oregon sta: tion: The consensus of opinion of thos who have studied the sflo problem in dicates that the circular form is prefer SILO OUTSIDE OF BARN, able. There are, however, many square and rectangular silos in successful ‘op eration. Especially is this the case with those haying rounded corners. Where great strength and large eapac ity are demanded the frame circular silo will best meet the requirements This form of silo enn be made quite durable by plastering the inside with cement. The cireular stave silo, owing to its simplicity and economical con- struction, seems to fully meet the re- quirements of the farmer. With this form of bilo properly erected the waste of silage Js reduced to the mininiwim. Perhaps more serious losses have re- sulted through lack of proportion be- tween the size of the silo and the amount of silage fed daily than from any other cause, The mistike is very generally made in having the exposed surface too large. An excelleut rule is to so construct the silo that the horl- zoutal feeding area for each cow. wit not exceed five or the extreme limit of | six square feet, Iloops for the silo can be made of | any suitable material, such as half) inch, seven-sixteenths inch or five eighths Inch round fron, one-cighth inch flat fron two inches wide or wire.

A Comeeevative View of It as Com. pared With the Use of Liquid. “In the great apple growing districts | Ohithe west and southwest experiments are being made with dust as compared with liquid spraying. The dust is blown upon the trees by means of an air blast.” In view of this fact The Rural New Yorker publishes the opinions of some practical horticulturistg on this prac- thee. The. secretary of the Missouf! Horticultural society says: 1 am slow to say much about “dust spray” because I do not yet feel sure “that it is as efficient as the Hquid. In fact, It has not been tested long enough to say exactly how valuable it ts. Our entomologists and best informed men on fungous diseases give it as thelr opinion that the “dust spray” is not as efficient as the liquid, But it is ap- plied so much more easily and quickly than the liquid that we can dust the orchard twice or three times with the fame expense as one application of the liquid, We can get on the ground when it is so wet that we could not haul a load of. water. The hand dusters are easily handled, and the work can be done after a ralu or mist or while the dew is on early tn the morning. We often dust from 4 to 8 a, mi. and give the men a half day for + ae . Nearly all farmers have cows, ‘Their Collective possessions tn the bovine Ine comprehend every kind of cow from the poorest <to the best—pure bred, cross bred and “any old bred.” A farwer's cow is a cow which belongs to a farmer, and that !s ‘about the only general definition of -the term. “A farmer's cow\ is not any particular breed of cow or type of cow. Never: theless the expression has been so long applied to any sort of cow that no one else will have that It becomes sugges- tive of a second rate scrub. Why such a cow should be dubbed a “farm- er's cow” any more than some other body's cow is the result of the notion that the farmer only needs a cow that will drop a big calf, give a little milk a little while, then get fat ard be made.into bad beef, Scrubs of all breeds have been found Proficient tn this performance and sold to farmers as dwil purpose cows, It oes not follow that because a cow belongs to a farmer she Ia a scrub, but when you hear the expression “farm er’s cow\ 2 scrub comes to mind, It the work. Linie (air slnked, fresh) Is the base to carry the insecticides aud fungicides. 1 am sure also that lime Is good for, both these. It is a good tn- secticide and it ts a good fungicide, and this year we shall test it alone on a forty or eighty acre orchard, I have used the dust process, first, In @ small way three years ngo; second, on forty acres two years ago; last year on over 240 acres, This year we shall use it on over 400 acres. 1 used one pound of paris green to ten pounds of lime; shall use only half that strength this year, as well as Ime alone, 1 used the dry bordeaux for fungicide, one pound to ten pounds of lime. 1 shall use this year twenty pounds lime, one pound paris green, one pound bor- deaux, We used five’band dusters and one duster to go In a spring wagon. We dusted three times and feel sure that it paid us te do so. We were com pelled to use something besides Haquid, because We had no water handy, and we shall continue to do so in our young orchards. While I cannot say that the dust Is as valuable as the Nquid, yet 1 think, from our experience, tliat we can prevent the Insects and fungous diseases If we will follow it up xys- tenatically, especially on our young orchards, where these pests have not yet secured a hold. In an old orchard, badly affected with these troubles, I do not think we could check their ravages so quickly or thoroughly. epg Raspberry Training For the Ariateer An Obio Farmer correspondent gives some bints about a fashion of trellia- ing raspberry bushes practiced by an English gardener as follows: He act bis plants about five feet part, and between each two pair of A NEAT WAY TO TRELLIS BLACKCAS, plants he set a stake six fvet high. The canes were allowed to grow at will | without pinching aud naturally arched | over, as wild canes’ may be seen to Jo in the woods. Half the canes were bent each way against a post and fas tened with bits of soff leather tacked to the post as grapevines ‘are fastened toa building. They were not fastened in a close bundle, but spread up and down the post for a foot or more, os shown In upper figure. When the sea- son wns favorable, they would refich the ground, and then the tips could be layered if wanted. : In the spring the ends were cut back far cnongh to prevent the fruit getting dirty, and nothing more was done un til after picking, when the old wood was cut away and loosened from the posts and the vew wood fastened in place, it having previously grown at will. A plantation kept in this way had the rows snug and narrow until nearly picking time, when the new growth would sprawl somewhat, as shown in lower figure; but, as cultiva- tion was stopped during July, this did not matter, This probably would not pay for the commercial grower, but for the careful amateur would be both neat and novel. Paenmonia In Cattle, A number of cases of what appears to be pneumonia In cattle, occurring in the west, give Interest to Information about this disease. [Professor Mayo of Kansas notes among symptoms coughing, especially when first turned ont or after lying down, and rapid and labored breathing. He considers me- dicinal treatment of little avail. The animal should receive the best of care —protection from the weather, laxa- tive, nutritious but not bulky food and. pure water. Cornstalks should not be fed. Alfalfa, millet or other bay should be sprinkled to lay the dust.

At a is shown as clearly as possible an ideal udder. The udder need not be overlarge. It should have —sufficient capacity, however, to-allow the con- tinued’ growth of numerous cells’ for the manufacture of fat and its cmulsid- cation with the other constitucnis of milk, It should be evenly quartered, fo that about the same amount of milk Will be secured from each “teat, It should be evenly balanced before and behind, and the. central suture should be well developed and strongly attach- ed to the body, It should be covered with soft, ine halr, be free: fron: tleah- iness and closely attached to the body, (t whould come well forward on tbe TYPES OF UDDEIMM, belly, stand out well behind the thigh and be curried well up-on the posterior portion of the body.

A poorly balanced udder ia shown atc. It ts hung too far forward on the belly, and the tents are not evenly placed, result- doz in a great inconvenience tn milk- lng.

There is not enough room here te permit of the rapid elaboration of milk, which Is of prime finportance, as it isn well known fact that a compar- atively small quantity of milk is In the udder when milking commences. It Is likewise thought by sclentists that the ability of a cow to produce milk abun- dantly Is determined by the number of cells, and hence the area avaliable for the distribution of biood and ofher fluids through the adder tissues ts too restricted in this-instance: A snaatt udder Is therefore a poor sign of deep milking powers, though a large udder, owing to the character of tissues that may enter Into its formation, is not al. , ways a sign of a good milker. At g¢ is shown an udder much cut ep, with very large and poorly placed tents. It is what may be termed a restricted udder, though rather elongated. At h appears another form of udder often met with, which, like that shown at xg, is somewhat funnel shaped in charac- ter” TE has not sufMicleit rotundity, does not come well forward on tbe belly and fs lacking in development In the posterior region. A California reader of Hoard’s Dal- rywan reports baving bad good suc- cess, as many others have had, In using scorched flour as a remedy for scours, He browns a cup of wheat flour, mixing ft first with a little cold, milk to prevent cooking, then stirs it into boiling sweet milk, either skim- med or new, and gives the product to the calf quite warm; continues this tmanver of feeding as long us there is any trouble, and in one or two days the enlf Is generally well. It is a good plon to continue the dour, but without scorching, for some days longer. A Lotion For fore Udders. As a lotion for dressing sore udders among farm aninals a correspondent iu a contemporary recommends a mix- ture consisting of tincture of opium, one ounce; spirits of eamphor, two ounces; sonp Iiniment, three ounces. This lotion is specially suited for up- plication {fn cases of infdam®t udders, and its efficacy will be much assisted if before application the udder is givy- en a good stuplog or hot fomentation with waru’ water. After this stuping the gland should be dried and the lo- tien gently rubbed In. For Indigestion. A correspondent asks, “What is the cause of a cow, in good condition, with good feed, falling nway with ber mitk and it-becoming thick? Sbe has been fresh nbout two months.” The vetert- narian of an’ exchange made the fol- lowing reply: The most probable cause is Indigestion from change of food oF too much food that is damaged or moldy, Give her a pound dose of ep- som salts ip two quarts of warm water and afterward feed cutefully on easily ‘digested grucls for a time. » — ee Locomotives to burn oil are ap- pearing inthe Pavific states.
