Attend to Fowls Yourself

The poultry editor of Farm aud Gar
den gives this timely advice in relation
to supervision of poultry yards: 1t has
been demonstrated, by repeated failures,
that no one can delegate the duty of at
tending to poultry, but must do it him
self. 10 secure a competent man to
manage large poultry farm is no easy
matter, and a really competent assistant
OIL manager will want something more
than the ordinary monthly wages and
board. Nearly all failures result from in
competency. To get together large
flock of hens, and put "a man" over
them who is not only an inexperienced
person, but below the average in intel
ligcnce, is ruinous to the prospects. 1t
requires knowledge and intelligence to
manage large poultry farm, and quite
salary IS required to secure the right
kind of manager, for they are scarce.
Any person engaging i'll the poultry
business must be sure and be on the
grounds at all times. He may have an
assistant, and even foreman and other
help, but single mistake may change a
prospective profit to loss, and hence
the careful and watchful eye of the owner
must be over the work, and he will even
then find that no one can do what is re-
CURED so we'll as himself, for disasters
have been the results of many ventures.

A Place for Fruit.

Farmers who live in a region where
fruit can be grown, should not fail to
make ample provision for regular and
abundant supply through the entire
wear. or as near to the yearly circle as
practicable. There is comparatively lit
IL difficulty in providing a regular sue
cession through summer and autumn, by
planting various small fruits and the
ear,y-ripcning apples, pears, peaches,
plums, and other kinds which VIII give
an un Interrupted succession from early
summer to winter; but more care is re-
ouired to preserve without decay the
winter varieties which are to be retained
for months within doors, from the first of
December to the following June. Two
principal requirements are necess Try; a
good fruit room, which may be portion
Of the house cellar, separated from the
rest Of the cellar by partition, so as to
be kept perfectly sweet and pure by am
pie ventilation. The other requirement
consists Of boxes, cases, trays, shelves,
or other receptacles in which the fruit
may be stored, and be always readily ac-
cessible for daily use.

FARM AND GARDEN.
Carrots and Horses.

It is not alone nor chiefly the nutri-
+ion in carrots that makes them valuable
feed for horses and other stock in winter.
They have an admirable effect in keeping
the bowels open, loosening the bile, and
thus promoting healthful circulation of
the blood. A stalled horse kept on dry
feed through the winter becomes bilious,
Just as human beings do who lead seden-
tary lives. We have not got into the
habit Of dos 'ng horses for biliousness, nor
need we. A mess of carrots daily, with
a horse in better working order than oats
without the roots. In most places car
rots can be bought by the quantity at
about half the price of oats, and pay the
grower well at that.-Ameriean Guilt

Farm and Garden Hints.

Plant vitality lost is hard to recover.
Use of the cutting box economies fod-
der.
Secure good implements for Spring
work.
A word on plant culture-don,t over
water.
Fowls should not be killed for several
hours after feeding.
Never allow your domestic animals to
be teased or ill-treated.
Really good butter is sometimes spoiled
by the use of inferior salt.
Two thicknesses of newspaper make
good lining for apple barrels.
Never breed a SOW before she is year
old, as it retards her growth.
DRY paths tend to comfort outside the
house AID cleanliness within.
Fast walking horses are better for
farmers than speedy trotters.
Never attempt to keep geese or ducks
where water is not accessible.
The refuse from celery trimmed for
market is excellent for poultry.

Managing Straw Stacks.

Straw is much more highly esteemed
than it used to be, though chemical
analysis shows that it's nutritive value IS
low. There are two reasons for this
The uses of straw in various manufactures
have created a demand, and thus in
creased its price above its value for feed
inc alone. The second is that feeders
have learned by the use of straw to safely
feed cOttOn-seed meal, making the excess
of nutrition in one balance its deficiency
IN the other and thus make a cheaper
combined food than can be had in any
thing where bulk and nutrition are
naturally equalized SO as to make good
food without preparation. 1t requires
skill to use straw in this way, but, as in
other cases, the "know how to do it'' is so
well paid that it leaves room for some
increase in value for the necessary ma
terlal. Where cotton-seed meal is
abundant and cheap it may have the
effect of making straw for feeding with
1t nearly as valuable as good hay, though
IN itself the straw may alone be so poor
as not to sustain animal life, and thus be
worth alone nothing Or less.
Even for farmers who have no way of
selling straw to an advantage, there
should be greater care than usually exists
using it with economy. Baled straw can be
and Is carried long distances by rail, and
II the straw is well kept there is pretty
sure some time in the year to be a market
Tor 1t In a well-made stack cut down
IN sections there is little loss in Winter,
and 1t is mach more convenient for sell
ing than to increase the entire stack.
When straw is frozen in solid chunks, as
1t Is apt to be by the latter method, it is
not even in good condition to use as bed
ding. 1t will pay to give enough care to
preserving straw to have it always in
good order to handle easily.
Some excellent farmers make good use
OF straw as protection against cold in COW
erlng shed, where stock is kept. One of
the best means of doing this is to make
platform set on posts six feet high out
OF the ground, and build the stack over
TINS. leaving one side open for animals to
go IN and out. 1t is as warm as a base
ment barn, and comparatively inexpen-
Slye. In well-made stack the water
VIII run down the sides, leaving the in
terror dry. Animals running in this pro-
tected enclosure viii keep it comfortable
during the coolest weather. If the posts
are made of durable wood such struct-
uure will last many years, only needing
Its annual covering of straw, to be in
spring trodden down into the manure
heap.-Anlerica1 Cultic0t0r.

MISS FELLOWS LOVES THE SIOUX
Something About the Woman Who is
to Marry One OF Her Indian Pupils.

Pierre, Oak, Special to the New
York World: The sensation of the hour
at the Cheyenne agency is the APP
preaching nuptials of Shaska,. a Sioux
Indian, to Miss Belle G. Fellows, an
An~glo-Saxon maiden who teaches an
Indian school in Swift Birds camp, on
the Sioux reservation. Miss Fellows
came to the agency from Washington
ID. q. Her father, Homer Fellows,
occupies a responsible position there in
the pension office, and her sister is also
employed in one of the departments.
Miss Fellows is a lady of fine education,
although somewhat uncertain in her
ideas. She is tall and we'll formed, with
a pleasing face, and is over thirty years
of age.
The object of her strange infatuation
in san Indian, with a not enviable rep
utation at the agency, and there is
nothing of an Othello about him to
make a Desdemona of Miss Fellows.
Shaska goes by the English name of
Sam Campbell, is about twenty-five
years old and is not handsome. 1t was
at Miss Fellows school that he learned
to conjugate the English verb to love.
The ceremony will take place at the
Swift Birds camp and the agency min
lister will officiate. The wedding will
be largely attended and has caused a
stir in the upper circles of the agency's
society.

HOW A COY HOME WAS MADE.
A Lesson 10 Married Couples Living

on n Small Income.
How often we discover in some out OF

man who has learned TO economic from
his small earnings and how TO eNpend
the pennies saved upon the lettering Of
his home surroundings. A pleasant in
stance. OF the latter character came
under the notice OF n San Francisco
Call reporter lately. While hunting
information on a certain point, il was
necessary for him to interview a man
who lives in the neighborhood Of North
Beach, and he luckily found his vic
tim at home. The desired item was OBJ
tanned in short order, and then the
newspaper could not refrain from com
menting upon the daintiness and com
forts Of the room in which they were
seated. The host, a man who evidently
had artistic tastes, accepted the compli-
ment in the spirit in which it was Of
fered, and courteously insisted upon
showing his guests through 1.-THE
house." 1.-THE house, by the way, was
the tiniest OF flats, occupying the upper
part Of a two-story cottage that was
perched upon the side of the hill.

quarters. AS it happens, these are
quite large enough for our absolute
needs, and wife and I are rather proud
of them, for all their smallness. Here
we pay $l6 a month, while for the same
space in a more fashionable neighbor-
hood we should have to pay from $40 to
500. We count the difference at SO Il
month, and we feel we have a right to
expend that amount in the purchase of
extra furniture or in decorating the
walls, instead of adding it to our saw
ings bank account. We have been mar
ried a number of years, and although
we started with a meagre outfit we have
been enabled, by the exercise of judg-
ment in our purchases, to get a lot Of
traps that cost individually little, but
that taken altogether make a rather
pleasant showing and add materially to
our comfort. You'll notice that the fur
niture is not in sets, but consists Of odds
| and ends that nave been picked up at
different times; but there is not a
chair in the house that is I'M
comfortable to sit in, and
our beds are as comfortable as
any in this city. A house is not worth
living in where those two things arenot
looked after, and as wife and | agreed
on that point we took especial pains in
selecting those articles OF furniture.
Almost everything we have, to be sure,
is secondhand, and most OF it was
seedy enough when bought; but there's
where the fun came in. Plenty of soap
and water, q little varnish, a dab of
paint, a touch of gliding, a bit of uphol-
STEERING, and the article looked as fresh
as ever, while we had the satisfaction
of feeling that 1T was, in a measure, the
product of u own labor. I'm inclined
to doubt whether any rich man gets
much pleasure out of the gorgeous fit

An Original Note of Hand.

Harper's Magazine: Where Nebraska
elbows Kansas and Colorado a smart
town has sprung up, whose inhabitants
have the usual frontier fondness for get
ting at the root of things, and dispens-
ing with the absurd formalities of law.
A prominent resident OF that town was
Joshua Mendenhal. Among his other
talents he counted that of well-digging.
Having sunk a shaft for n William
Pugh and duly presented his bill,
William informed him that he could
not pay cash, but would settle by note OF
hand, with security on a "broncho.'
Joshua agreed to this proposition, and
that he might be certain that no legal
tricks or verbiage should obscure the
main facts of the transaction, he drew
up a note upon the tavern" letter
head, which, when signed by Pugh,
read as follows:
BENEELMAN,-- 1ss-, Value reed Mr.
