Peas for Stock.

Prot William Brown of the Ontario Ag-
ricultural College, has repeatedly declared
that peas form better and cheaper food
than does corn for stock. Others, who
have experience, assert the same, yet
very few peas have ever been fed in the
United States. Farmers in Northern Illi-
nois say that peas cannot be raised profit
ably in this climate; but several varieties
of garden peas flourish here. Is it not
possible that this matter has not been suf-
ficiently tested. and that stock owners are
neglecting a profitable food crop when
they ignore the peap Those who have
practical experience in growing peas. and
in feeding them to stock, will confer a
favor on many farmers if they will give
an account of that experience. The points
of especial interest, would be the cost OF
growing the peas, the value of the vine
and the seed, in feeding, and the best
methods known to them for growing and
feeding the crop.
Skilful professors. experimenting with
all the advantages of State appliances,
chemists, who have analysed the pea and
its vine, and successful feeders and
breeders in Canada and Great Brit
ain have found peas satisfacto-
nv crop. They have been tried in the
| United States. but the fashion has been to
grow corn as almost the only grain crop
for feeding animals. Corn, however,
produces large quantity of fat, which
has been considered the chief object in
feeding. But people are learning that fat
is not desirable food in a climate so tenn
perate as that of this country. Nutritious,
tender, juicy flesh, free from an excess of
tallow or lard, is wanted for food. The
demand for meats of this description will
grow stronger year by year. 1t will re-
quire and cause marked change in
methods OF feeding in this country. Flesh
forming foods for stock will be wanted,
and fat producing grain will be in less de-
mand than now. Peas are among those
flesh forming foods. Will it not be- well
for the American farmer to be prepared to
supply the requirements of the markets
for beef, and mutton, and pork of high
quality, but not fat?-Chicago Tribune.

boxes you will find all kinds of seed,
mixed, etc. Now it does not seem to me
that it requires an extraordinary intelli-
gence to grasp the idea that this is all
wrong. can hush the notes of the hardi-
est German canary ever imported to this
country by such food in few weeks.
Such sweet dainties fatten the feathered
musicians. They lose their voice, they
become subject to rheumatism, they get
the govt in their feet. They become in
tested with lice, and they lose any desire
for their bath. You hear an unusually
brilliant songster, one who is singing
loudly, sweetly and almost necessarily,
and go and look at the cage he is in. You
won't find any sweet-breads and sweet
meats there.
The best bird food is just plain, ordina.
nv, common bird seed-only this and
nothing more. 1t is all give my birds,
and you have heard how they sing. Two
or three times a year buy cuttle-tish
bone for them, and keep some fine gravel
or sand in the bottom of the cage for them
to pick at. | put a bath dish of water,
with the chill reduced, into the cage
every morning. Once week | clean ne

the bottom and the wire bars. l give
them fresh water to drink and re-stock

care | give my birds. keep them where
it is light where the sun shines occasion
ally. and where there is fresh air. Birds
should not be hung too high in the room
either, for here they get the heated air,
which is not good for them. Give bird
such treatment as this-plain. clean bird
seed, fresh water and fresh air, and if he
dies or loses his song it will be from nat
ural causes. '-RocheSter Chronicle.

Caring for Song Birds

"Why. you have no idea," said an old
and well known bird iancier to reporter
the other day, chow little care q song bird
requires. 1t has been my experience
and good long experience-that the
most of the deaths among canaries are
caused by over care and overlooking.
Let lady get new bird. The
chances are it is the first she has ever had
the care of. 1t is a novelty and curiosi-
ty in the house. and she feels as though
she must be attending to it all the while,
and that if she does not it will die, or stop
singing, or something. The result is she
will give the bird everything she has ever
heard of bird eating. You will find
crackers and cake, and bread, and candy,
and sugar. and apple-and heaven only

The Melancholy story of II Californi,

The Melancholy story of a California
Judge.
Every now and them" said an old
politician to the New York Herald CORE
spondent the other day, "there is grum-
bic heard from an applicant for Office to
the effect that the President is slow in
making up his mind as to whom he shall
give Office to: that he ought to make up
his mind more promptly than he does, as
itcosts them Il great deal of money to re-
main here. Now, this is all nonsense,
and after they have lived in Washington
twenty or twenty-five years, as | have,
they will see where they are mistaken.
Applicants who are in such Il terrible
hurry for u decision are the oftenest dis
gusted when the appointment has been
made. I'll give you q case in point:
When Buchanan was President John w.
Forney, who was one of his most intimate
friends, was very anxious to secure the
position of Collector of the Port of San
Francisco for former Philadelphia
friend, who was then either Judge or
Chief Justice Of the Supreme Court of
California. The Judge came on here a
few days after Buchanan was inaugurated
and began ding-donging at Buchanan
right away for the appointment.
Fomey helped him all he could, but
Buchanan sworc he would not be pushed
into making any appointments until he
was ready to do so. But the Judge kept
up his ding-dongng and insisted that
there should be an appointment Well,
the appointment was made, but the Judge
did not get the place. Another fellow,
who was much quietcr and worked in
different kind Of a way, carried off the
prize. Then the Judge made another mis-
take. He remained here and thought he
would get even by denouncing the Presi-
dent and his entire Administration. He
kept up his denouncing until he lost his
influence at home.
Every now and then he picked up lit
tie law case here, but before Buchanan
left the White House his law practice did
not amount to $1,000 in year. From that
it ran down to almost nothing. During
Grants administration the Judge, who
still hung on here was given a job by
Colonel Thomas b. Florence, a Phiadel-
phia eX-Congressman, directing the mail
of Sunday newspaper here. When
Colonel Florence died The Judge, who was
then getting very old, was left without a
friend, and his income grew less and less.
To wind the story up, that man died a
pauper in the dlmshoIlsc heren
