Winter Food for FoHxIs.

If hens are rightly cared for, they should pay from 200 to 300 per cent profit, as layers, says the Western Farmer. They must not be stinted as to space, nor too many kept together. If confined, allow at least square yard to each fowl. Initiate as closely as possible the condition of the hen in summer, and supply by artificial means the wants which nature supplies in warm weather, and hens will lay in winter. Let the floor of the hen- house be of dry earth, with box of dirt and ashes for sand-bath. Keep their quarters clean by removing their droppings at least three times week. Give free ventilation. Supposing your hens to be in good condition and health when they commence laying, give them the proper food to keep them so. Buckwheat and wheat are the best grains, although for. variety other grains must be given. Give cooked food in various ways every day. Mush is excellent, as also fresh meat and scraps from the kitchen. Two or three times week give fresh bones and ground bones, with gravel and broken oyster-shells always within reach. Apples, cabbages, turnips and onions, raw or cooked, will be relished.

A Girl Sleeps Three Weeks.

Miss Minnie Dishner, daughter of a farmer near Columbus, Nebraska. com plained of a severe headache and great drowsiness on Monday, October 26, and was finally overcome completely and dropped off into a heavy sleep, from which she has but once aroused since, and then only for short time. After several hours her mother attempted to awake her, but found it impossible. The girl seemed to hear her mothers voice and to try to rise but was helpless. As if by prodig ous effort of will power she struggled to her feet. opened her eyes and tried to speak. Her lips moved convulsively, but no sound was uttered. She was powerless to move her body, and in few moments she again fell ou the bed and relapsed into cnmatosC condition. in which she has remained ever since. Her limbs are as rigid an cold as those of dead person, and she has not eaten food, spoken nor moved in the three weeks that have intervened
 For the past few days she has wept at frequent intervals, the tears trickling si lently down her cheeks. This and tho faint evidence of breathing and the pulls, are the only signs of life that have beer exhibited. All medical devices to arouse her have proved unavailing. The family have kept the matter quiet, and visitors are not allowed to see the unfortunat, sleeper. She is twenty one years old and quite pretty.

Durability Of Posts.

The durability of fence posts is much influenced by circumstances. In some localities. where the soil is compact, certain degree of moisture in it, preventing the posts from be- coming very dry at one time in the year, and water-soaked in another, the posts will last longer in the absence of under draining. In other instances, a drain under the line of the fence, provided it keeps the posts always dry, will cause them to last the long est. The great requirement to secure is to prevent alternations of drying and water-soaking. MT. Hoffman stated at the Elmira Farmers Club that he had tried seasoned oak, and had found it no better for posts than green oak, the latter actually lasting the longest. In the soil on which the experiment was made, the green posts were evidently less affected by the alternations of drYness and moisture. Other members Of the club reported similar experience.

THE KING OF SPAIN.
The Youthful Spanish Ruler Expires
 of Consumption.

The death of King Alphonso, the young ruler of Spain, on the 18th was not unex. pected, as he had been ailing from consump- tion for some time. A Madrid dispatch of the 25th gives the following particulars:
 Monday night the king had spasmodic fits. the result of fever and debility. Six doctors from Madrid and two doctors of Fl Pardo were in constant attendance upon him. They decided on Tuesday morning that the king was in dangerous condition. The fits con died atSSsAa o'clock this morning The All the officers of state and the cabinet min isters, except the minister of war and the minister of the interior, were present at the momant of dissolution. The cabinet met immediately, and the queen was appointed regent. In accordance with the law, the members of the cabinet have rendered their resignations, but will remain in office pend ing the regents pleasure. The body of Kin 7 Alfonso will be inferred in the palace of the eScuri0l.
 Large forces of military and police wers quartered throughout the country as pre- caution against Carlist uprisings.
 Princes Mercedes, the five-year-old daugh- ter of Alfonso, will be queen under the re- gency of her mother. Christina. Senor Sa- gasta will form a new cabinet. The streets were crowded with people eagerly discussing inc situation.

Butter-MakinR on the Farm.

Any farmers wife who has clean room where the temperature may be kept at about 50o in winter may make as good butter as the best, provided the cows are kept in clean stables and well provided with proper food and plenty of water. The butter will sell at the highest prices of the whole year. It is simply question of perfect clean Illness from the time the milk is taken from the COW until it is packed ready for market. A temperature of 500 will insure the perfect ripening of the cream if it is we'll stirred every time more is added.
 When ready for the churn it should be warmed to temperature of 62e by placing the jar in a pan of hot water and stirring the cream until the tenn perature is correct. The time of churning should occupy half an hour. When the butter is formed into gran. ules, stop churning, draw off the but termilk, and return to the churn what butter comes away with the butter milk. Then wash in the churn, first with clear cold water, and then with brine. Then work lightly, adding half an ounce of salt to each pound of but ter. Before it is ready for market, or after it has stood in cool place twelve hours, rework by pressing, never with drawing motion, and pack in suit able vessels.
 If the butter is to be colored-and it should be in winter to give it deli cate yellow tint, some degrees lighter than many persons foolishly suppose necessary-it must be done by mixing the butter color in the cream. Mix the proper quantity of color in a little milk, and add to the cream with stir ring until the proper color is assumed. A little experience will enable this to be done correctly. Do not mix the color after the cream is in the churn; it is apt to stain the wood, causing the butter to become streaked.-C Chicago Tribune.

FOR THE FARM AND HOME.
Open-AIr EnsiIa9o.

NJ HOui $, the French discovrr Of the method of open air or stack silo, reports the continued success of his method. The secret of the success of this method lies in such uniform and continued pressure as will secure the expulsion of the air and thus prevent decomposition. The material is carted to the place of stacking as fast as cut without waiting for any drying, and is built up slowly and uni formly, allowing fermentation to start, making the forage mor3 tender, care being taken to prevent the stack from leaning as it settles. When the stack is finished the top is covered with inch boards projecting a few inches over the sides, and then weighted, at the rate of about 2OOO pounds to the square yard, with any convenient material, stones, earth or frewood. The only drawback to the plan is said to be the difficulty in keeping the sides perpendicular.- CultiUGtor.

When to Begin PouItry-Keepins.

Stephen Beale in The Country Gen tleman, answers the question, "When is the best time to begin poultry-keep- ing2" by saying: "Either the Spring or the Autumn, the latter preferred. Usually in the Autumn frst-rate stock birds can be bought at reasonable prices, whereas in the Spring these are much dearer. Many new beginners, especially ladies, like to start in the Spring, so that they can at once begin with the duties of ken-breeding. This is an understandable feeling, but it often leads to the waste of an entire breeding season. In the Spring it is true, also, that by purchasing eggs and hatohing from them, the first cost will be smaller, but, then there is

sketch of AIphonsO's Life.

Alfonso XII. was the son of Queen Isabella II. and the Prince ConSort, Francisco de As sisi, her cousin. He was born November 2S, 1851, and bore the title of prince of the As turias until his accession to the throne in De- cember, 1874 The revolution of 1868 drove his mother from power, and the young prin @ was educated in exile partly in Austria part ly in France, and in England. On the over throw os tue republic by military conspir- acy, led by Generals Martinez, Campos and Paviaf in 1874, Alfonso was proclaime king his mother having some time previously ab- dicated in his favor. A regency was pro claimed on December 31, under the presidency of Senor Canovas del Castillo, the present premier, and Alfonso made his triumphal entry into Madrid January IA, 1875 The country was rent in civil war, the partisans of Don Carlos being still in possession of portions of the Bisque provinces and large bodies of troops having still to be kept in the Southern cities to overawe the Intransigentes whose formidable insur- rectiun had just been suppressed. The boy king was brought to the front and assumed the nominal command of the armies operat ing against the Carists in the North, but his first battle was disastrous defeat. and for a time it looked as if his tenure of the throne was doomed to be of short duration. Finally after much sanguinary fighting the Carlists were put down and from that time till his death there was no serious in urrection, al- though Carlists and Re1ublicans yer ceased to plot against him. He was married Janu- ary 23, 1878, to the Princess de las Mercedes, daughter of the Due de Montpensier, one of the sons of Louis Philippe, the deposed king of the French but the young queen lived only few months after the marriage The present queen, his second wife Marie Chris tina, is daughter of the late Archduke Charles o' Austria. By her he had two chil- dren, both daughters,
 The king has r. been in good health since the spring of 1884, At that time he began to show signs of catarrhal fever, and in the summer he took the waters of Beteln with complete success. Last summer he was again recomme lded to take second course of the waters. but he declined to go to Beteln and separated from the royal family, as cholera was raging but two leagues from his summer quarters in Ia Granja. Since September he has suffered from catarrhal fever, indiges- tion an1 darrhpa. The kings condition has been greatly impaired by his utter disregard of his physicians advice to take care of him. self.
 During the prevalence of cholera in Spain last summer King Alphonso visited the in- fected districts, and by his action greatly en- deared himself to the mass of the Spanish people.
