How ''money makes the mare go"

and exemplified the power contained
in one little nickel, says the Pbiladel-

dime to the conductor, who, before re-
turning the change, collected a nickel
from female passenger, evidently a
washerwoman, and handed the nickel
to the stout man. farming to pas

and, leaning across the aisle said to an
acquaintance with whom he had been
talking, and who was accompanied by
lady, evidently his wife:
There's that five cents l bet you on
Boyer's majority"
The acquaintance tipped the coin
from his right to his left hand and
handed it to his female companion,
with the remark:
There's that five cents borrowed
for that cigar this morning"
Smiling sweetly the lazy accepted
the coin, ana, reaching over dropped
it into the washerwomF as hand,
saying:
There's the five cent? l owe you,
and that just makes Us square,"
1t was all done so quickly and in
such an offhand way that it was not
until the coin was in the hand OF its
possessor that the passengers whose
ownership he had passed realized what
number of debts the small piece had
paid. passing In turn through the
hands OF the washerwoman, the con-

Fishing with a Wheel.

The present catch of salmon, says 8
Portland (Ore.) letter, approximatcs to q
thousand tons daily and is so great the
factories find it impossible to handle it.
Great quantities, therefore, spoil and are
lost. Salmon arc caught by the usual
method of using nets; Indians spear them
in large numbers, but the main source of
supply is the fsh~wheel. This most in
gcnious and effective contfivancc is an
immense wheel about thirty feet in diam
etcr by eight feet in width, consisting of
four great pockets of ordinary mesh fence
wire. This wheel is placed in favorable
situation in swift running water. The
force of the water carries it around with
q steady, resistlcss motion, plunging the
monster scoops into the stream. Any
hapless fish that wanders into the radius
of this wheel is quickly lifted from the
water, dropped into a slippery trough
constructed in the wheel near its axle
ard slides into box, where its animate
career ends. The efficiency of this i'll
vention is shown by the fact that one Of
these wheeli has landed twelve tons in
twenty-fsNs hours.

~ fed, will do the rest. Usually the
question is how to use Indian corn nd.
vantagcously, because, at present, this
food is the great American reliance.
Corn meal ought to be we'll cooked be-
fore grain of it is fed to young poultry.
Raw corn, even if scalded, irritatcs
young intestines, and it s should be palata-
bly, cooked so that it will be eagerly
eaten. The idea should be, not to man
age with as little food rs possible, but on
the contrary to urge the chickens to cat
all that they can proftably digest. Clean
feeding trays arc rs important In this
point of view rs they are in the matter OF
health. Chickens hate dirt and dirty
dishes. The mold on an old feeding
board is e plant which will grow rapidly
in their ''little insides." To make a
good standby" pudding for chicken
feed, take one-half yellow corn meal,
one-half middlings or bran, aud o little
salt. Mix soft with skim-milk and bake
slowly. If the milk is sour, put In some
soda. Ono can substitute for the milk
broth made of the, table scraps. This
pudding can be used as q steady diet,
varied by an occasional day of oatmeal.
If there is not enough meat in the table
scraps, add more.
Give your chickens milk to drink al
ways if you can; give water also or they
will suffer from thirst; and beware OF the
tyrotoxicon which kills many babies aud
chickens. Sour milk soon turns to
spoiled milk. Don't delude yourself by
trusting that your chicks will do exactly
as we'll when you miss feeding time or
two, provided you leave extra food
which will keep sweet, but they will not
prosper as when fed at the regular hours.
Little chicks often starvc to death rath-
er than eat stale, dusty food. Look out
for tho scrawny f1edglings; every one
will look cut for the downy new ones.-

CURING THE RUNNING AWAY HABIT.

A habit of running away is fatal 70 the
usefulness of horse. 1t is the fault of
training, for in the training escape from
control should never be permitted. The
vice may be cured in this way: Fasten
two strong rings in the top of the bride,
one on each side; put strong round
cord through these rings so that it can
be drawn on as the driving lines are. As
soon as the horse starts he is checked by
pulling on the cord, which presses on the
windpipe and shuts off the breathing. If
he persists in running he will soon drop,
but this is seldom done; some shaking of
the head and the runaway will stop. After
standing few minutes he may be pulled
up few times until he learns that the
driver has control of him.-4merican

A QUESTION ABOUT oAT HARVESTING.

QUESTION ABOUT DAT HARVESTING.
One of the questions for farmers to
begin to consider is whether oats to be
fed on the farm should not be cut while
the grain is yet in the milk, and cured,
straw and ali, for feeding without
threshing2 Ofcoursc the portion of the
crop that is to be used for seed or sold
in the market must ripen and be threshed;
but, as an Eastern paper puts it, '1t is
difficult to see any advantage in all the
labor of threshing out oats to put IN
bin and the straw in stack, only to put
them together again in the manger."
But we do not advise raising oats for
hay 10 any country natural to the hay
crop, and for the reason that, whero so,
the hay is cheapest.-Prairie Farmsr.

THE MOONS INFLUENCE ON VEGETATION.
The reflected light of the moon has no
appreciablc influence upon either vcgeta-
bic or animal life on this planet, and if
there is any electrical or other influence
it has not as yet been discovered. The
idea, however, that the moon has some
peculiar influence on vegetation and ami
mails is very old one, and while there
never was any foundation for it except
the vagaries of disordered brain, still,
as the belief is perfectly harmless, it is
useless to disturb the quiet of your is.

MUSHROOMS.

From little experience We have re-
Gently had with mushrooms, weare satis-
fed they may bo often grown with profit
by farmers for near markets. They
bring high pricc at certain seasons Of
the year, but when farmers gather those
for sale which grow naturally In the
fields the price is usually lowest. To
get the best prices, they should be grown
in hotbeds, as gardeners do, planting the
spawn or thread-like seeds in beds
properly prepared and well fe:tilized.
It is the heat quite as much as the man
ure that makes the spawn productive.
Perhaps wherever there is good market
for mushrooms q hotbed ceunot be de-
voted to more profitable use than this.
The market may be cultivated by gather
ing and selling the mushrooms that at
this season may often be gathered in
fields. There are many varieties of
mushrooms, and thorough knowledge
Of thi, subject turns itself into money
more surely than knowledge of anything
else will. The mushroom is in Europe
considered q substitute for meat. A
pound of it can more cheaply be grown
than pound of meat, and it always
brings higher price, as it deserves to
from its finer quality.-Boston Cultipator.

TIE CAUSE OF POOR RADIsH SEED,
1t is stated, upon what seems good au-
thority, as we'll as good sense, that the
poor quality of radish seed that comes to
our market is the result of saving the
seed from stocks that have not been trans
planted. This story, however plausible
it may appear, is in no respect true. The
true state of the case is, all the radish
seeds which come to our country are
grown from transplanted roots. The
growers would not produce them in any
other way; the seeds are sown in seed
beds, quite closely, and, when fit for the
table, they are transplanted into the field
They ore first grown in seed-beds for
economic reasons, as given amount Of
seed-bed will furnish roots that will plant
at least fifty times as much ground as the
sced-bed contains. This enables the
growers to economize time and labor.
Much of the seed grown in France is
raised by small farmers, who do all their
farm work by hand; so while the plants
are growing in the seed-bed, the farmer
is spading the soil for the crop. Poor
radish seed, like poor other seeds, comes
from poor selection. A worthless plant
will always yield double the amount of
seed that valuable one does.-4merican
