The seasons crops are being har-

ming to sum up the results.
We have the very best assurance,
up to this point, that there will be
no famine. There are probably a
few people who have already grown
thin in anticipation Of the 'great
failure of the crops talked about
since early spring, and the conse-
quent want of food that would fol-
low. But we will be able to worry
through another year. The fields
of wheat that were "going to be
plowed up" last spring have been
harvested and threshed, and have
yielded reasonably well. Though

If we get water at the depth Of
eight or nine hundred feet it ought
not to need ice on the hottest day
provided we do not have it standing
in reservoir. And we will make a
mistake in building any reservoir at
all if the natural flow of water is
strong and full.

FOR THE FARM AND HOME.
secret OF Large Crops.

The air, just as the snow is said to
be, is the poor mans manure; or, in
other words, it is the manure which
keeps a man poor who depends upon
It. The whole secret of large crops is
plenty of manure. And to have
manure q farmer must produce a large
amount of fodder and food for stock.
Grass is no longer "the pivotal crop
of the farm, as it has been said to be.
1t, too, has passed out of use and must
be superseded by some more produc'
tive crop. Grazing is one of the un-
economical processes of Middle Age
agriculture. 1t can afford subsistence
TO more than one steer for each seven OF
eight acres, while one acre Of ensilage
or of roots will feed one steer or more
than one. Fodder and root crops
must then be substituted for grass
before the farmer can reach, through
the process of feeding stock probably
the indispensable supply of manure fol
his land.-Neao York Times.

veteran circus manager, "but it is be-

"How did the double ring kill the

"The vast audience could not hear

Ailing Fowls.

The "drooping" of fowls is an indica-
ton of disease, but not of any partic-
alar disease. 1t is generally the result
Of improper food and imperfect diges-
ton. Fine, dry food; clean cold water,
and free access to gravel are the best
correctives in that case. l have
known cases where they have become
dropsical when no remedy avails. 1t
Is sometimes due to the retention
Of eggs, but not so often as is general
ly believed. In that case the injec-
ton of some soft, unsalted grease or
oil into the egg duct will generally
afford relief. When eggs are not worth
over Is cents dozen the best medi-
cine for sick fowls is sharp Ratchet.
What is true of grown fowls is
equally so of chicks. Most diseases
are caused by irrational feeding Dry
quarters, fine, dry feed and cold water,
in dishes always kept clean, with a
proper range for gathering gravel,
insects and grass render disease and
hospital treatment altogether unne-
cessary. But if anybody has been Sc
unfortunate as to get the roup into
the flock sulphur fumigation may be
tried with some hope of good results.
1t is easily and cheaply administered to
the whole flock at once and is claimed
to be effective by those who have tried
it. Individual treatment is too eX'
pensive and uncertain.-O. s. Bliss.

Fortune and tho Deggar.

This fable, which is a translation
from the Russian writer Krilof, is in
teresting from the fact that it is illus
trated in bas-relief on the Krilof mon
ument: A wretched beggar carrying
ragged old wallet was creeping along
from house to house, and, as he grum-
bled at his lot, he kept wondering
that folks who lived in rich apart
ments, and were up to their threats in
money and the sweets of indulgence,
should be always unsatisfed, however
full their pockets might be, and that
they should 60 so far as often to lose
all they have, while unreasonably
craving for and laying their hands on
new riches.
Here, for instance" he says, "the
former master of this house succeeded
in trading prosperously and made him
self enormously rich by commerce.
But then, instead of stopping and
handing over his business to another
and spending the rest of his years in
peace, he took to equipping ships for
the sea in the spring. He expected to
get mountains of gold, but the ships
were smashed and his treasures were
swallowed up by the waves. Now
they all lie at the bottom of the sea, and
he has found his riches melt away like
those In dream. Another man be-
came one of the farmers of the spirit
tax, and so gained million. That
was triae, and he wanted to double
it. So he plunged up to his ears in
speculations and was utterly ruined.
In short, instances of this are count
less. And quite right, too-a man
should use discretion"
At this moment Fortune suddenly
appeared to the beggar and said:
Listen l have long wished to help
you. Here is lot of ducats ! have
found. Hold out your wallet and will
fill it with them, but only on this con-
dition: All shall be gold that falls
into the wallet, but if any of it falls
out Of the wallet to the ground ii
shall all become dust. Consider this
well. have warned you before

compact. Your wallet is old; don't

trees of their own species.
Remember that sweet corn makes a
most nutritious forage crop.
The first week in August is a good
time to sow onlOn-seed for winter
onions.
Grapevines which were left un-
pruned last fall should be attended to
at once.
If your poultry cannot pick up in
