Of their missionary work; more than
half OF which was for foreign missions.
Religious services We're held every day

TOP DRESSING MEADOWS.

When farmers have succeeded in
getting good varieties of grass well es-
tablished in field they should endeav-
or to preserve it as long as possible.
Considerable risk always attends the
sowing Of grass seed. A good stand
is not always secured. no matter how
much pains are taken in the preparation
of the soil and the sowing OF the seed.
The seed itself costs a considerable
sum. In many cases only very small
crop Of grain is raised on the land tho
year the seed is sown. Everything con-
sidered the cost Of seeding field to
grass is large. 1t is accordingly desir-
as practicable. The yield of grass
may be kept up by the judicious use of
fertilizers. Ashes, lime, land plaster,
salt and commercial fertilizers are all
highly beneficial, but stable manure is
generally productive of the most salts
factory results. 1t should be well rot
ted, and ought to be finely pulverised
before it is applied, or at least before
it is left on the grass. The best time
to apply it is in the fall. The sod is
then firm. and teams can be driven
over it without doing any great amount
Of damage. The weather then is cool
and the volatile portions will not evap-
crate as fast as in summer. Dews are
ordinarily heavy and they will keep the
manure moist. Rains are frequent and
they will dissolve the soluble parts of
the manure and will carry the remain
der close to the surface of the ground.
Grass will come very early in the
spring on land MANFRED in this way.
1t will make a large growth but. will
have no offensive taste.

that provision should be mad. in some
way to protect the latter. II there is

yALr-E OF srRAw FOE rOOp.

In many localities farmers are often
puzzled to decide what TO do with their
straw. Generally il is stacked and the
cattle and horses allowed to run to it
during the winter-more for shelter
than for any good it may do them as
food. Sometimes, and not infrequent-
IL, it is burned after il has been
hauled away from the machine
and scattered over the field. This is q
practice not as much followed now as
it was some years ago. When straw is
to it, the greater part of it is pulled
down and trampled under foot, where
in a year or two it is converted into most
excellent manure.
No farmer, no matter how big the
farm, can afford to burn his straw; it is
far better to stack it or to use it for
covering rough sheds for winter pro-
lection of stock. There is q way to
utilize it rs food for horses. cattle and
sheep that makes it as valuable as hay,
corn, or any other article of stock food
raised on the farm-that is to use it as
chopped feed. Bran. cheat, or oats
ground coarse and mixed with cut
straw, without cooking, but moistened
with water, makes a most palatable
and nourishing food. Fed to mich
cows it wonderfully increases the flow
of milk, improves their condition, and
gives them sleek. glossy appearance
not easily obtained BY any other diet.
To horses it is equally beneficial, and
no food placed before them will be
eaten with such an evident relish as
will their daily allowance Of chopped
feed. In winter. when the teams are
not at hard work it can be fed twice a
day with advantage; in the summertime
once day is often enough. For cows
and young stock cattle it is excellent
fed with the rough feed usually given
them. 1t is as cheap as anything else
as good that can be procured. Pre-
pared in this way straw becomes q val
liable article of food, and should he as
carefully cared for as is hay or corn.

all the wild lands in this county, fit for

The Ugly Alaska Mummy.

1t is not at all pretty. Externally, il
is bundle about two and Il half feet
high of clayey-looking leather, corded
with rawhide. Its front is ripped open
| to show what is inside. Around the
opening appears IL fringe of birds
feathers, large, coarse. matted and
dirty. Within the fringe is the defunct
Alaskan, in Il desiccated and more or
less battered condition. His knees are
drawn up to his chin; his arms are
damned to his sides and folded down
in front OF him, SO as to make him as
compact bundle as possible. He is
lacking in cheek, has no nose worth
mentioning, and his eyes are gone, but
he seems to be grinning. His flesh has
dried and dropped off here and there,
exposing his bones. If shaken out Of
his envelope and handled little rough
y he would probably go all to pieces.
His hair, which is black, coarse,
straight and short, is the best pre-
served part of him. In point of color
he varies in spots from light pipe-clay
to dark sepia, with dull red tinge
here and there.

together as compactly as possible, tied
up tightly in the skins of birds or seals,
and slowed away in caves or crevices
among the rocks. No ornaments, tools,
implements of war or the chase, or
anything else is ever found packed in
with those mummies, or even deposited
near them. Possibly articles of per-
sonal property are so hard to get
among the Alaskians that they think
the living cannot will spare such things
to the dead. The Chinooks bury beads,
shell ornaments, and other with their
dead, making their mummies some
times quite gay-that is, for mummies

possesses historic interest, or that
would tell the rank of the defunct, or
