This nursery rhyme is especially true
of the little boys of China, writes Frank

and was offered plump, juicy pussies for
less than the cost of their raising was
told that the flesh of dogs would make
brave the men who ate it, and watched
not few people who smacked their lips
as they conveyed bits of cat from their
bowls to their mouths. These Chinese
dog restaurants are largely patronized by
the poor people of Canton. They are
usually ON the ground floor, and they
consist of kitchen at the front and a

the wall and in the ceiling hang the
dressed bodies of dogs, which look not
unlike the carcasses OF pigs, and which
hang tail downward. Just below these
upon great beds of coal or in oven-like
stoves, are pots in which dog and cat
stews simmer away. The meat is cut up
into bits as big as the end of your
finger, and it is fried with chestnuts and
garlic in oil, or is stewed into a sort of
soup. At the restaurant which ! visited
| was told that | could have a pint bowl
of cat flesh for ten cents, and as a special
dainty was offered fried cats eyes at
two cents apiece. The cats are skinned
before cooking, but the dogs are pre-
pared for the pot in the same way that
VIC make our pork, They are killed and
the bodies are soused in boiling water to
get the hair off A little hair is always
left on the end of the tail to show the
color of the dog, for the meat of a black
dog is worth twice that of the yellow
variety, and black cats flesh is a
dainty. In some parts of China you can
buy dried and smoked dogs hams, and
some regions make business of export
ing them. The season for rats is the
winter, and cats are good at any time of
the year.

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

Irregular feeding makes thin horses,
even if the quantity given is good
A stiff brush in the stable, judicously
used on farm horses, is good horse doc
tor.
A half dozen varieties each of sum
mer and winter apples that are adapted
to the season and the market will pay
better than Il great number.
Charcoal is much appreciated by the
fowls. The best is formed of charred
grain. Corn roasted like coffee and fed
twice a week would no doubt pay for the
trouble.
One serious error in poultry keeping is
the custom Of keeping hens until they be-
come too old to be profitable, because
they were favorites or good layers. Dis
pose of them or you will suffer much
loss.
1t is a great waste to burn leaves gath
cred along the roadsides, for they make
excellent bedding for stables, and that
use served they are worth all cost of
gathering if used as manure for garden
or lawn.
A warm stable need not be an expen-
sive one. You can stop up the cracks
with laths, and line the inside Of the
stable with straw, mailing on sufficient
laths over the straw to keep it in place
This will make Il warmer wall than q
double-boarded one, and be vastly
cheaper.
Gather fine specimens of hickory nuts,
butternuts, chestnuts, etc, and either
plant them now where you desire then
to stay, or pack them in sand little moist
and keep for spring planting. There are
very many farms the values of which
could be largely increased by having Oh
them a thrifty growing young nut
orchard.
Gather the leaves which collect in the
fence-cOrners, all trash along fences, sods
which are slipping away into the road,
all the scraPings about cowyard, pigpen,
chickenyard, etc, and place them in the
barnyard, to he Incorporated with the
manure. A large quantity of valuable
fertilizer can be collected ON any ordi-
nary farm.

also is true of eating apples before the

THE POULTRY YARD.

1t has been thought for many years,
says a writer in the Country Gentleman
that broken oyster and clam shells, if
not necessary, were beneficial to fowls
whether laying or not, and-some pro-
fessional poultry keepers to the contrary
Think they arc, for my fowls when let
out, go for the pile of shells and eat
them as they would corn, and l think if
the shells were not of some service to
them they would not do that, and also
think they are good substitutes for sharp
gravel, which cannot always be got as
easy as shells. Again, frequently have
read that yard of fowls havingno cock
with them would lay more eggs and be
less inclined to set than where there were
cocks, and as l thought that would be a
saving of feed l concluded to try it, and
in each experiment have lost more than
ten per cent. in number Of eggs compared
with other yards under same circum-
tanees, except the company of male
irds.

Every farmer who keeps stock should
ee that they are protected from exposure
ut this season. As rule good stock.
good feed and good care go together, and
wherever you see animals only half fed
and with little or no care, you will see
poor stock. Good shelter lessons from
one-fourth to one-third the amount of
feed necessary to keep the stock in a
good condition, while better health and
thrift will be maintained, and the best of
stock will not thrive unless good care is
taken. If stock are we'll sheltered they
will not only do with less feed, but in the
spring they will come out with another
coat, looking sleek and thrifty; whereas,
the same stock if left during the winter
exposed to the stormy and frigid weather,
would not only require more feed, but
come out in the spring with their hairs all
rough and coarse-thus presenting any
thing but thriving and paying appear
nee. 1t is a saving of dollars and cents
o provide comfortable shelter for all the
arm stock worth keepmg.-Ne,o York

NATIONS FOR CALNks IN THE WINIhH'
For the best growth of calves in the
winter they should be fed and treated as
the cows are. As they are as quarrel
some as other animals, they should be
tied up each in its place, so that each can
get its share of food. An excellent food
for calves is made up of cut hay of the
best kind, wetted and mixed with-for
ten pounds of it-one pound of corn
meal and three pounds of bran. This is
enough for two calves per day, with as
much good clover hay as will be eaten
clean. Salt should be added in the same
proportion as for the cows..-Ame-ican

TIE LAND COURT BILL,
The Wiokhan Bill is Reported Farorably
In Both Houses.

Special to the New Mexican.
WAsHINGrCN, April 30.-Since the dele
gates from New Mexico first arrived in
Washington they have been very active
in pushing their claims, and are doing
some very effective work. That they
have aroused sentiment in their favor
can not be doubted and New Mexico will
doubtless be greatly benefited by them
being here.
The land court bill, one of the prime
objects in view with the delegation ard
which bears so much importance to the
territory, was to-day reported favorably
in both houses of congress. The senate
bill is the Wickham bill introduced in the
house, with several amendments. There
is every reason now to believe that an
agreement will be arrived at, whereby a
land court will be established for the set
Element of titles and doing away with
some of the troublesome grant questions
which have so long been a drawback to
New MeXicos prosperity.
In the senate the modification and
amendments to the Wickham bill were
all that the New Mexico delegation de-
mandcd, with the exception of the min
eral clause.
Should there be any differences between
the two houses, they will be amicably ar
ranged by conference committee.
The delegates attended the presidents
reception last night.

while dissenting on the popularity OF the

Miss Creutzburg pleased her audience
in the rendition of vocal solo, an echo

An instrumental solo by Mr.. Newman
was very pretty, and the vocal solo by
Miss Gum, with violin obligato by Mr.
