NEW IDEA IN HAYMAklNG.
Ingenious Methods in Vogue in Far.Away
Iininpi

EtnlnnH-
A curious way of making hay is very
generally adopted by the Fins. Poor
men who own no meadows have long
been accustomed to cnt what grass
they can find in the forest glades and
other waste lands. Owing to the lack
of roads and farmsteads the hay was
stuffed among the branches OF neigh
boring trees to await the winter frosts
and snow, when it could easily be car
ried off by sledges. After a wet season
some farmers noticed that this was
actually better in quality than that
which they themselves had made from
much better grass. The wild crop, so
to call it, had dried much better in the
tree branches exposed to the free cir
culatiOn of air than the rich herbage
which had lain long on the sodden
ground Hence it occurred to them to
make temporary trees upon which
their own crops might be dried.
The experiment was attended by
such success that the plan has been
widely initiated, and bids fair entirely
to supplant the Old-fashioned methods.
After the moving is dono n number OF
poles, about ten feet in length. and
provided with long transverse pegs,
are set up at intervals, and the grass
is loosely heaped upon them. Tho re-
suit is said to be excellent. Even in
wet weather only IL small portion form
ing the out side OF the pile is discol-
ored. while the inner portions, eX-
posed to the air beneath and protected
from the rain above, are dried in per-
feet condition. Moving can be carried
on in spite of wind and rain, and when
once the grass is placed upon the dry
ing poles it may be left without fear OF
serious damage until the weather
changes. Toledo Blade.

POULTRY FOR tGGS ONLY.
How to Keen Egg production c snstantly
at the Ma Sinunh

As the different breeds are adapted
to certain purposes, The poultryman
should determine, befor" beginning in
the business, what he intends to do, or
rather what his specially will be.
Some prefer to make specially OF
eggs, without regard TO whether chicks
are to be sold or not In suCh case
the expense Of the small coops, in
cubators, brooders; covered runs, and
other necessary adjuncts In the matter
of raising chicks, will be avoided, As
no eggs will be Matched other than
such rs may BE required to renew the
stock. the cocks will be unnecessary.
AS it will be preferred that the hens
lose no time at incubation, the breed
should be non-sitting. Having come
to the above conclusions, the poultry
man must contend with some diff
titultits hot to be discarded except by
judgment in management fot in
stance, the LeghOrns are active and
more easily affected by cold, their
combs becoming frosted, and their
bodies susceptible to dampness, should
the wind be from the northeast. But
still they must be selected, in order to
supply eggs alone, and the OBJ
stacles must be snrmOuntcd. How
must the poultryman acts In
the first place, though contin e.
mcnt can not be avoided, the fowls must
not know they are surrounded by a
fence. They must have something tC
do, in order to prevent them from be-
coming discontented. BY keeping them
busy scratching for their food, they
! will have little inclination to roam.
| Having work to do. they will stick
closely to it, and will soon learn to be
punctual at the "workshop," provided
they have the material tC work over.
All that is necessary is to keep q pile
of leaves, cut straw. dirt, Or whatever
| will serve the purpose, and scatter
grain in it., Not too much grain, but
enough to cntlc6 thea to hunt for
more. Better keep them a little hungry
than to feed too much at time, and
never keep teed before them all the
time Being busy and taking exercise
they will have good appctiLes, and
should receive variety Of food, mea;
being an important part OF the diet,
TO have them warm, the coop should
be made as tight as possible, with
plenty of room. The floor should be
dry and the walls lined with tarreG
paper. The windows should be sc
pluccd as to allow not only the heat
of the sun, but plenty of light The
hens will stay outside rather than re-
main in a gloomy coop. Make the in
turiUr cheerful, and avoid Tcntilatin4
in such manner rs to permit drnughts
Always be on the watch for lice, anC
feed regularly. BY these simple pre-
cautions the Loghorns can be induced
to lay in winter, and they will give a.
many eggs, in proportion to food con
sumcd, as any other breed, Poultry
Keeper.

THE UNDERBRED GIRL.
A Distasteful Person to BE Thrown With
in Daily Life.

There are some things that stamp
the underbrcd girl like a sign-manual.
She giggles, for instance, stuf5 her
handkerchief into her mouth. and
wears her gloves with one thumb out
and bare. She is usually dressed as
nearly in the height Of the fashion as
her knowledge and circumstances per-
nit. even il her "things' are pinned
togcther-a pin always answering for
a stitch with her. In the street she is
always moro Or less conscious OF her
clothes, throws about side slartes that,
however Innocent, expose her to mis-
conception, and receives amiable
glances that would be insulting If she
knew enough to be insuted instead OF
nattcrcd by them. In the mouse she
sits with her feet pushed out or her
knees crossed and one foot high in
air; she has il tinscr in her mouth, or
thrusts her tongue into tho side OF it;
she bites her nails, scratches her
lace. Or Keeps utt lltIti9 uF "p' ~ oh
her lips or chin or eyes. She IA rather
fond of perfumes. watts Of them fol

gestion of burned sugar that belongs

wears cotton lnce, and all sorts OF

ECONOMIC FEEDING.
value of Ground Feed for Horses -
shown by Careful Experiments.


shown by Careful Experiments.
1t is found in feeding horses that it
is more economical to feed ground
grain mixed with cut hay than to feed
whole grain and long hay. An expert
meht to test this matter was made By
the London Omnibus Company, This
company found that 1900 horses fed
on sixteen pounds of ground oats,
seven and half pounds of cut hay,
and ten and one-half pounds OF tut
straw, did as much work and kept in
as good condition as another 3, 900 fed
on nineteen pounds of whole nats and
thirteen pounds of nnrut nay. Thus
saving of six pounds of feed per day
for work horses was made bV
grinding the grain ard cutting the
hay-a very important saving in
tn" f@eaing of 5000 horocs--a saving
amounting to $500 per day. A COM
mon ration FOR horses on street rntl.
Wy. consists of twelve pounds Of cut
hay, mixed with sixteen pounds Of half
oats and half corn ground together,
for summer, and Ii winter siXteeh
pounds al corn meal with twelv6
pounds of cut hay. Corn meal alone
is too heating for summer. but is less
Objectionable IN winter, as it helps to
keer up the animal heat and maintain
the flesh.
Corn meal, however, can not be re.
sarded as the beat grain for horse:
even In Winter. Corn meal is espec.
'nlly fattening food, and not the best
for restoring wasted muscle. 1t is de-
fi2ient in the albuminous elements. Ii
is found where corn meal is fed almost
wholly for grain that the horses do nOs
last as long as when part oats are fed.
The heating nature uf the corn
causes the horses to perspire more
easily, and they are more liable to take
d'>eases. Their feet are also more
| tender and more liable to become in
famed. Clover hay fed with corn meal
Supplies what the corn meal lacks In
nitrOgenous elements. making the ra-
ton unobjoctionable. Clover hay is
objected to as being dusty, but when il
is cut and moistencd to mix with the
corn meal, that objection is disposed
of. Another advantage obtained by
feeding corn meal mixed with cut hay
is that thus fed there is less danger
from cold. The whole mass goes into
the stomach intimately mixed togeth'
er, light and porous. in condition tc
be easily and completely digcsted. N.

A singular incident Il reported
from Florida Oh an island in Lake
W!er, near Ocala two very large oak
trees that nad stood sentinel watch
upon the island for centuries, perhans,
had so grown together =. The ground
as to become t.lnost one tree. This
dual tree had previously been dead.
uned, and later on, a few months ago,
was fired and burned, and then in the
ashes a strange discovery was nude
the skeleton OF man and pair of
silver riding spurs. The bones crum-
bled at the touch. but the apurs were
bright aud perfect, How long the per-
son whose remains were thus cremated
had lain within this sepulcher, and
how and by what circumstances he
ever got in there, is Il mystery.

HER QUIET WAY.

F-ncl childhood's hour twas ever thus;
Whate'er she did she made no fuss,
But in quiet, gentle way
Accomplished much from day to day.
Her round OF homely tasks Is done
wiz Jealous care from sun to sun;
And. though she has her plans, no doubt
We never hear them talked about.
She does not frown at circumstance,
Or wish she had better chance,
But patiently endure's LIES ills,
And sweets from bitter herbs distills.
She seems 10 ind her chief delight
In making somber places bright,
Anu finishing neglected work,
Naich Others are so apt to shirk.
Peace and contentmcnt dwell with her,
Our wise and calm philosopher;
And she would make q desert spot
Bloom sweetly as u garden plot.
Her sense Of order keeps In train
Affairs throughout the home domain,
And who can guess what comfort springs
From her quiet way Of doing Ihingss

An Improvement in p-ropeIIer,.

One of the great difficulties encoun-
tered with the ordinary screw propeller
in use is the liability to be thrown
clear of the water by the pitching of
the vessel in aheavy sea, thereby rock
ing and wrenching the machinery,
and the cas- with which it becomes
disabled by fouling with cables or by
striking any heavy floating object. K
Scotch mechanic, however, has in
vented a method of placing the pro-
peller, which entirely does away with
both of these objections. AT the stern
of an ordinary vessel the keel is di-
vided into two sections, leaving a
space wherein the propeller is placed.
Sluices are left in the sections of tho
double keel, through which the water
may readily pass. By the working
model of this invention it has been de-
monstrated that much greater forward
speed can be secured with no greater
expenditure of power, while the speed
in going astern is fully equal to that
secured in moving nhead.-San Fran

Physical Culture for Ladies.

1 have been somewhat surprise
during my stay in Kansas City, to-
how little interest is taken by t
ladies in physical culture, which 49,
the larger cities of the east forms such
an important part of a girls education
nowadays. The old idea that n woman
is mans inferior physically, is pretty
well exploded since the proper sort of
physical training has been made avail
able for women. In point of fact, /
believe the reverse is true rs far as
mere strength of muscle and limb is
concerned. In one of my classes in
Boston, l had n pupil, Miss Annie lie
Castron, who, while hardly able to
lift a ten pound dumb bell when she
first began to practice, by constant
training became able TO handle heavier
weights than most men can. In Der
lin another pupil of mine, Miss Bertha
Wurtmer, in a class exhibition car
ried off the first honors for all round
athletic work, winding up by defeat
ing seven contestants in n five mile
walk. There are great possibilities for
women in such a course of training

A Substitute for Coffee.

The Paris correspondent Of The
Glasgow Mail writes of the discovery
of an extraordinary nature made in
the island of Reunion which threatens
to make havoc in the coffee trade. 1t
is said that a plant called the wild or
ange grows on the island. 1t produces
o fruit which is green at first and af-
forward blush, verging into purple as
it ripens. Hitherto the product Of the
plant has not attracted any particular
notice in o commercial sense, but it
has recently been tested and found to
possess qualities which will render it
an admirable substitute for coffee, the
use of which will place within the
reach of those who hitherto have not
been well able to afford the high prices
which in many places are asked for
good coffee a beverage which will be
in every way the equal Of the latter.
The government of the colony is said
to have the matter in hand, and about
$4,000 acres in the highest portion of
the island n now under cultivation
for the growth of the wild oranges"

HOME INVESTMENTS.

People very often show a disposition to
co outside of the town in which they live
to make investments in real estate. They
are attracted by reports of a booming con-
dition of things, and as the natural dispo-
sition is to throw forward the advantages
and keep the disadvantages in the back
ground. people who are not always on the
scene may get a very wrong impression of
the present possessions and future pros
perity OF a distant town. They are there
fore often led into making investments of
their money in other towns while they
could easily have done much better right
at home.

Everybody is superstitious to a
greater or less extent. Every man has q
superstition of some sort, though they
will not own il. One of the most com
mon of the petty superstitions is in
volved in the answering of invitations.
Some men do not hesitate to write posi-
lively that they will be there, but the
great majority modify this by saying,
God willing" or if nothing hap
pens" or something of the sort. These
men firmly believe in the old saying
that "Man proposes and God disposes,"
and they are taking no chances. Those
who have occasion to receive responses
to invitations will notice that these
''cautionary signals" prevail.-Chi-
