SOME GOOD IDEAS.
A Thrifty Yankee Farmer Talks Abou
the Increasing Fertility of Soil

A Thrifty Yankee Farmer Talks About
the Increasing Fertility of Soil.
One very successful farmer has said
that he would maintain an ever-in-
creasing fertility of the soil. If this is
true of farming in general, it must be
of prime Importance to the milk pro-
Queer We should never content our
selves with cutting one ton of hay, or
harvesting 20 bushels of shelled corn to
the acre; but rather we should aim to
cut three to five tons of hay, and har-
vest so to Is bushels of corn. This
would be very satisfactory to one who
took pride in farming, besides enlarg-
ing the margin of profit.
When we can gather as much from
% to so acres as we formerly did
from 100, we may safely dispose of
one-half our land, which will give us
. working capital, with something for
rainy day. Or if we are harrassed
with a mortgage, we may, pay that off,
and be released from struggle to meet
the interest and taxes. If our ambi-
tons are greater, and we have good
market for all the milk we can pro-
duce, we may enlarge our barns, keep.
more stock, and add to our income by
the sale of coarse over-ripc hay, pur-
chasing bran as better fitted for the
interests of the milk producer. How
ever visionary or impracticable it may
seem to any of you to dispose of part
of the farm, it still remains pertinent
question, whether, under the changed
condition of things. the farms OF this
State are not generally too large.
If we are to increase our crops, it
may be well for us to consider how we
shall fertilize. First. we should save
all the manure made by cementing our
barn cellars, or we may retain the
liquid portion to some extent by the
use of absorbents. Those situated SO
that they can buy cheap lots of dry
horse manure, to bed their cows, will
find it to answer an excellent purpose.
After this, we may purchase good
wood ashes, or bone and potash, as
they are particularly adapted to the
production of grass. There may be
equally good prepared fertilizers, but
so far my experience has not been so
favorable to them as could desire. /
have some reason to think that thus
far, they have got more farmers into
debt than they ever helped out.
But if | used prepared fertilizers,
would put on enough to give them a
fair show, and if the result showed
permanence of benefit, would continue
them; otherwise, treat them with eau
ton. suppose the method of apply
ing manure is more readily disposed of
than how to get a sufficient quantity.
In our own case, we have plowed it
under, and wheel it in, both
on sod and cultivated land, and it has
done equally well in both ways We
have topdressed mowings, not run out,
with good results, while by applying
on mowings that were run out, we
have felt that our manure was thrown
away. think for such fields, plow-
ing. cultivating and re-seeding, to be
the part of true economy. --Newton

CAPTURING THE BRIDE.
Curious Wedding Costumes Among tn
Country Folk of Carnioia.

Curious Wedding Costumes Among this
Country Folk of Carniola.
In some parts of Carintha wine is
brought into the church and blessed by,
the priest. who drinks the first glass to-
the brides health; but in Carniola the
party leaves the church before begin
ming its earousals. The delay, however,
is not long, as custom insists that a
pause shall be made at every inn that is
passed on the road. During the whole
afternoon the great object of the I'M
married young men of the village is to
capture the bride. If she can be luredi
ont of the bridegroom's sight, on any
pretense whatever, she is at once sur
rounded and carried off to some neigh
boring house. When she has been
fairly taken she must yield quietly and
give no sign of her whereabouts. The
bridegroom and the brides father now
start in search of her. As there are
numerous scouts, and she is frequently
removed from place to place, consider
abletime often elapses before she can be
found. When the two pursuers have at
last tracked her to her hiding place,
they have to ransom her by paying for
all the wine that has been drunk in the
meantime.
Except on such occasions each guest
pays his own score both on the way
from church and at the marriage feast,
when 1t Is given, as it usually is, in an
inn. AT the latter merry-making tho
chief interest cen.ers on the brides
father, Who is expected to make
speech, in which he draws as unflatter-
ing a picture as possible of the life and
character of the bridegroom, who must
reply to the raillery as best he can. AS
both speakers make as many jocose al
lusions as occur to them to the rest of
the company this contest of wit is con.
sidered the great treat of the day.
After time the bride is solemnly
brought to her future home. but there
sue has to pass through scene similar
to one already described. On the
threshold she is met by the bridegroom's
mother or some other elderly female
relation of his, who asks who she is and
what she wants. This is the commence
ment of a humorous catechisni, which
sometimes becomes rather broad, and
is always greeted by shouts of laughter
from the audience. At last, when the
mother-in-law has been satisfied. she
produces glass of wine and long,
thin wheaton loaf which has been baked
for the purpose, and offers them to the
new mistress of the house, The latter
sips the wine. and lets gold or silver
coin fallinto the glass as n gift to the
mother. She then takes the bread in her
right hand and holds it over her left
shoulder. Some person standing be-
hind her must take it. Many explana-
lions of this custom are given, but they
are all modern and rationalistic. In
most places, however. it is considered a
good omen if the bread is taken by a
needy old woman. though. of course, it
is impossible to allow the bride to stand
too long in such a position, and so one
of the wedding party is sometimes
| obliged to take the loaf. saturday Re-

TALE.TELLING CROW.
Evidence Showing That Birds Possess q
Limited LANGUAGE. a.


Limited Language. q.
Among birds there is universally
understood signal of danger. In some
cases it is the shrill scream of the swal-
low and swift; in others the repeated
despairing cry of the thrush and black
bird; or it may be the hiss of the TOM
tit and wryneck; the pink, pink of
the chaffinch; the "cluck cluck" of the
farmyard hen; but wherever or when.
ever it is heard all the feathered tribe
instantly seek some place of refuge
But quite apart from this we'll known
warning there are numerous instances
which seem to be conclusive that birds
also communicate their ideas to each
other. One day, while sitting hidden
in the garden, / observed a crow fly to
a wood-pigeon's nest, which was in a
tree close above me and bring forth
from it one of their eggs which was
hard set. Carrying it in his beak he
flew to- -neighboring tree and pro-
ceeded to pull out the young one from
the shell and eat it slowly. Presently
another crow came sailing along on
leisurely wing, and seeing what was
happening, he alighted beside the
thief, who must have explained every
thing very clearly. as, after minute
OF two, the newcomer flew straight to
the wood pigeons nest, which was
well hidden in the tree, and, notwith-
standing the cries and resistance of
the parent birds, he soon appeared
with the second egg, which he ate
with mucn relish on the grass a short
distance from me.--LittIe Folks.

PROFITABLE POULTRY.
How a Yankee Farmer Derived Goo
Income From His Hens.

How Yankee Farmer Derived a Good
Income From His Hens.
Any hen that lays much less than 100
eggs in year is kept at loss, as a
hen will consume about $1.00 worth OF
food, besides the time used in feeding
and caring for her.
We shall not approach the question
from the side of the "fanciers, the
breeders who aim to get 50, So, or S.
for setting of eggs, and SIS to $25 for
a cock or pair. These gentlemen have
host of poultry papers advocating
their inter ests, and need no help from
us.
1t is our purpose to consider the
question from the everyday farmers
standpoint, and we shall show that a
net profit of 81. SO per hen per year can
be made in the ordinary way of mar
keting eggs at the store or at the door.
We know it can be done, because we
have done it and are doing it.. All
that is necessary is to induce the hens
to lay in the fall and winter, when
eggs bring high price; in other
words, get the pullets to lay when they
are five or six months old, and keep
them laying.
The writer bought dozen year old
hens of the Plymouth Rock breed, but
doubtful pedigree, and ten pullets OF
most undoubted pedigree Gas mixed
lot-as one most ever sees on any farm),
and his flock to-day is composed of
their descendants, got by adding a
good cock of brown Leghorn blood one
year, Plymouth Rock cock the next,
and SO on alternately. 1t will be con-
ceded that we have no fancy birds.
There isn't pure blooded fowl in the
flock. The Plymouth blood prepon-
derates; the brown Leghorn blood shows
itself in many of the pullets, an
"sports y of various sorts and sizes are
common.
Below we give some statistics of the
egg product of these hens in the past
three years:
1885 1856 1887
Average No. eggs per hen.... 1z5 17s 1854
/ 1t should be explained that the
decreased average of eggs in 1887 was
caused by the failure of the stone
masons to build foundation wall for
a new building, and eighty or ninety
fine pullets were running wild in the
field till December Is. If they had
been housed October l we would have
had probably fifty or sixty dozen more
eggs in November and December when
eggs were SO cents dozen. All our
eggs have been sold at the door. that
lis, the grocer came for them. The
price at which they have been sold
ranges from Is to IS cents dozen in
April and May to So or 40 cents a
dozen in November and December; the
average price for the three years being
between % and rs cents Dozen This
high average price for the three years
is due to the goodly number of eggs
produced in the fall and winter when
they are scarce and high. 1t is true
that pullets that lay vigorously all
winter won't increase their product so
| much in the spring as birds that have
rested through the winter, but the
average for the year is the test of
profit. Cor N. E. Farmer.

MY VALENTINE.

In the happy long ago,
When my love was very young,
When Irocked her to and fro,
And her lullaby sung;
When her cheek so soft and fair
Nestled often close to mine,
Then at first did declare
Daisy was my Valentine.
Later, when her loving lips
Little loving words essayed,
When her curls with golden tips
Little CLEANS Of sunshine made,
When her little dimpied arms
Round about my neck did Irvine,
DAISY, with her chubby charms
Daisy was my Valentine.
Now, though years have passed away,
Years-why bless me! near score
She's my valentine to-day,
And / love her more and more;
Love her that the ght IS true
Which from her dear eyes doth shine,
And, because she loves me, too,
Daisy is my Valentine.
Other years shall pass away,
Other loves than mnc come to her;
10 my lass on some fine day
Some fine lad Will come to WOO her.
Let this adde's love be lea1,
BE as fond and firm as mine
Let heart be true as steel,
Would he win my Valentine.
He must be both brave and true,
He must love both God and man,
Then, whene'er he comes to woo,
He may win her If he can.
Through his lips his heart must speak,
Through his eyes his soul must shine,
Through his life her good must seek,
II he wins my Valentine.
When these future years have flown
Fly they must, they can not stay
Daisy still will be my own,
Though she give herself away.
Wheresoe er her lot may be,
Howsoe'er her heart incline,
She'll be ever dear to me,
Ever be my Valentine.

back of each knot, tie strong cord
two or three yards in length. This is
to be fastened ON lengthwise of cloth

and tying, the other end of the cloth is
carried through between hind legs
pretty well up the escutcheon, the
cords carried between the hip bones.
they are all fastened together. This is
for holding cloths, wrung out of water
as hot as the hands can bear, and APP
piled to the parts affected. As soon as
they begin to cool, wiring them again,
and do not stop until the swelling goes
down and the parts soften. 1t may be
