rats or those few which had hiding
place until very soon not one could
be seen. -. n. HI, n. J. Tribune.



This question may be answered both
Automatically and negatively, IN prac-
tice they do run out, as a. rule. Let
us remember that nothing ii nature
is stable. All varieties are undergoing
mobilization, and most Of al those;
varieties which we cultivate This ex-
ira instability in The cultivated varie-
ties is due to the fact that the condi-
tions we make Tor them are varying
and constantly changing. Could we
make absolutely constant conditions
the varities might be retained with
considerable, ifnot absolute, stability.
Now it happens that in practice most
varieties are grown by people who do
not givG thear as good conditions as
those under which they were devel-
oped, so degeneration follows inevita-
bly,. A potato fancier brings out q
fine new variety under exceptionally
good conditions. Now it will remain q
fine variety SO long as those good con-
ditions are maintained, and no longer.
This is the secret of most if not all of
the degeneration OF yarieties.--Dr
Charles E. Bessey.

How Much Milk the Cow Gives.

It is often worth while to see q COW
MIXED twice in succession--twelve
hours between the milkings. Thus the
buyer may ejust how much milk the
cow is giving. If the COW has q suck
ing calf it complexities matters little,
but q first-rate COW ought to give much
more milk than the calf will take, 50
if the buyer takes two teats on one
side and leaves the other two for the
calf, accurate conclusions may be az
rived at. The seller almost always
overstates the milk his cow will give.
His quarts are small: If one is buy.
ing $35 COW all this trouble need not
be taken. She may be worth $40 for
beef. and if she gave no milk at all
might soon be made worth $25 or
$50; SO one is really paying little for
milk. But if the price OF the COW is
$75 or 500, as we have supposed, it
is quite worth while to know what one
buys before the money is paid.-Masop
c., Weld.

Exhaustion of tho Soil.

The commonly used term, "exhaus.
ton OF the soil,' is relative and not
absolute. The soil consists of many
Indispensable ingredients, and while
it remains in existence these remain,
and to say they are exhausted is q
contradiction in terms. The phrase
really means tn at the soil has been
deprived OF it's power OF producing GER
tain crops by the exhaustion of the
larger part of the soluble portion of
one or another Of these ingredients or
elements by the too often repeated
culture OF some special crop. Then
the return OF this especial element to
the soil restores it to fertility. This
is all that is meant by this term, and
no good farmer need fear to undertake
the restoration Of what is called an
exhausted soil if he will patiently ap-
ply the remedy. This is slow no
doubt, but it consists in growing dr.
ferent crops from those previously
cultivated, and the application Of the
needed fertilizer. Clover is the best of
all these restorative crops.

that, in the long run, simple diet will

that a wise housekeeper will seek. to
lift herself from ruts in which she may
unconsciously have fallen, and, by
making alittle change here and there
present such a variety of food as
shall render the table attractive at

for some with which the family have

not necessitate great expense. House

EIGHT INDIANS HANGED.

Hanged = Battle ford.

Again the dominion government has
withstood all pressure brought to bear on
it and has indicated the mai esty Of the Ia w
by performing the first Wholesale slaughter
OF human beings in the British North
west. The eight Indians sentenced to the
gAllows Tor the commission OF crimes during
the rebellion, were hanged by the neck at
Battleford, N. w. T., in the presence of a
large assemblage, the execution being public.
The names OF the victims were Bad

Spirit, iron Body, Man With-out-B Bio I'd,
Little Bear, lkia and Round-the Sky.
With the exception of two these
men were Frog Lake murderers. Wander
ing Spirit, the real author OF the Frog
Lake massacre, was defiant and said
tunity again he would act precisely as he
has done. He asked no favors from the
queen and he wanted none. The paleiaces
were his enemies, and he would just as soon
die as live among them. He expressed re-
greet that he had not succeeded in taking his
lie when he made the attempt here shortly
after his capture. The priests were with the
prisoners all night. talking with them on
spiritual Matters but they accomplished
nothing. They said they were ready to die at
once, and several expressed pleasure at the
prospect ofbeing go soon dispatched. They

Keeping Cabbage Through the Winter.
A Dakota farmer writes to ask how
a man who has no cellar can keep
cabbages through the winter. We are
happy to assure him that nothing can
besimp]er. Plow three or four fur
rows along the ground at 81 point con-
venient to the farm buildings, making
a bed say about four feet in width
and as long as you please. In these
burrows lay your cabbage heads, with
the root stalk up, as close together as
you can place them, double row in
each furrow If necessary. Put a light
covering of hay over them and then
cover with earth eight or ten inches
deep. About Christmas put q good
load of straw or hay over the whole.
AS the cabbages are wanted for use
take them out, beginning at one end
OF g turrow and going through to it's
other end. 1t is only necessary to dig
away part of the dirt above till the
root stalk of q cabbage isreached,
then pull it out without disturbing the
others. Cabbages stored this way
will keep fresh and crisp during the en-
tire winter, and will seldom freeze. 1t
does not hurt them, however, to freeze,
nor will single thawing effect them
particularly, but repeated freezing and
thawing will soon cause them to de-
cay. It may be said, also, that it is
far better to keep the cabbages in this
way than in the cellar, if this is under
the house. Indeed, the odor OF cab
bages when their outer leaves begin to
decay is SO foul and so prone to gen.
crate such diseases as diphtheria and
typhoid fever that we should counsel
farmers never to store them in the
cellars beneath their dwellings while q
rod Of earth can be made avail able for
the purpose Chicago Inter Ocean.
