GREEN FODDER CROPS.

Valuable Suggestions offered BY Prof.
Thomas shaw. OF Ontario.
The following interesting statements
on this subject are from the pen of
Thomas Shaw. professor OF agriculture
in the Ontario Agricultural College at
Guelph:
The attention of the farmer of the
Dominion has never been sufficiently
drawn to the great advantages tGat
flow from the growth of an aoundsnS
supply of green food for the stock OF
the farm In this climate a short
and of oftentimes dry summers aud
stern winters. which forever forbid
the successful growth of permanent
pastures of the European orcqr and
on the European plan. it will DOUBTLESS
prove in the future the great RESOURCE
of the farmer who is bent upon sus-
tanning the fertility of his land
through that best of all sources, stock
keeping. Some OF its advantages are:
l. 1t effects saving in land to the
extent of enabling the farmer with
but fifty acres to raise more beef, NUT
ton, milk, butter or cheese than the
one with one hundred acres s'ho pays
no attention to the growth Of green
folders.
2. 1t effects great saving in fences.
one of the largest items of outlay on
farm. J
3. 1t secures a marked saving in
food, and of animal muscle, in their
not having to search for it.
4. It Increases the quantity and
quality of the manure to the extent of
at least one-half OF all that is made
during the pasturing season.
5. Its effects upon the health and
condition of the animals is beneficial.
since the supply of food is uniform and
sufficient, and they are free from an
noyance, worry and exposure.
6. 1t greatly increases the quantity
and quality of the milk, butter and
beef product.
Z. 1t very much enhances, in the
aggregate, the fertility of the soil.
8. 1t largely obviates the necessity
of summer following, through its an
tagonism to weed growth.
9. 1t would prove boon to the cot
ter. whose one cow must needs pasture
on the highway.
TO- In conjunction with the silo it
provides green food for the stock all
the year. hence every farmer alive to
his own best interests will grow
greater or smaller proportion of green
fodder every year.
The only objections that can be urged
against 1t are:
1. That lack of exercise will impair
the health of the stock-an objection
that will be answered in a succeeding
bulletin.
2. The extra labor involved, which,
however, is abundantly compensated
by the increased returns.

NOT A COWARD.
How an Officer Successfully Proved His
COURAGE.

How an Officer Successfully Proved His
Courage.
In 1777, during the revolutionary
war. an officer in Virginia having un-
intentionally offended another, re-
ceived challenge to fight a duel. He
returned for answer that he would not
fight for three reasons: First, not hav-
Ing committed any fault, he would not
expose his life to crafty the caprice
of an impetuous man; second, that he
had a wife and children who were dear
to him, and he would not do them such
an injustice as to run the chance of
plunging them into misery; and third,
that as his life was devoted to the
service of his King and country it
would be a violation of both moral and
civil duty to risk it in private quar-
'e'.
In consequence of his refusal his
antagonist posted him as a coward,
and he had the modification of seeing
himself Stunned by all his brother
officers. Knowing he had not merited
such disgrace he resolved to put an
end to it, and. having furnished him
self with large grenade, he went to
the mess-rOOm where the officers
were assembled.
On his entrance they looked on him
with disdain. and one of them said:
1--WE don't associate with towards"
Gentlemen" replied he, II am no
more coward than any one of you,
though l am not such fool as to for
get my duty to my country and to my
family. AS to real danger. we shall
soon see who fears it the least" So
saying he lighted the fuse of the gre
made and threw it among them; then,
crossing his arms, calmly awaited the
explosion. The affrighted officers arose
snd ran toward the door in the greatest
confusion. The moment the room was
cleared the hero threw himself fat
on the floor and the grenade exploded,
SCATTERING the walls and ceiling, but
doing him no harm. After the explo-
sion the fugitives ventured into the
room. expecting to see the officer torn
to pieces, bue were welcomed instead
with hearty laugh. From that mo-
ment they ceased to shun him.-Cor.

care are not cxorbitant, yet they must
not be neglected.
AS to the location of the bushes, the
grower can consult his own convenience,
for they will do well in an open space, or
among other trees, where not TOO much
shaded. 7 think it better to have them
partially shaded, as the fruit will grow
larger and ripen off more evenly in such
locations. If given an open space in the
garden, the bushes can be better attended
to in most cases, which will often more
than offset the benefit derived from the
shade of the trees.
Aside from keeping the grass and
weeds away from the roots, the ground
should not he disturbed Immediately
about the plants, for the more the roots
are cut and mangled by digging among
them, the more suckers or shoots will
spring up and draw from the nourish-
ment of the main stems.
A good substitute for cultivation is
found in mulching, while it keeps down
the weeds and grass, retains moisture for
the roots, and furnishes supply of fertil-
izing material for a generous crop Of
fruit. The mulch fert.lizes in the most
natural and economical manner that of
filtration.
If the bushes are sod-bound at the
roots, or choked with weeds and briers
at the tops, dig up and cultivate about
them thoroughly, after which apply a
good mulching, and see that it is kept
on during the summer. Fine large cur
rants, and lots of them, will be the result.

Rapid Transit on the Prairie.

a. L. Earle, who is connected with the
Judson Pneumatic Company has recentl y
been in Dakota, and told New York
Press reporter of an invention that he saw
there. "There is genius out there, !"
said he, "who has invented sailing ap-
paratus for wagon and sweeps over the
prairies with it at the rate of sixty to
seventy miles an hour. He says he can
90 Up to eighty or hundred miles, but
I wouldn't want to risk myself at even
the lowest speed. I sailed with him at
about forty miles al hour, and that was
rapid enough for me. He has just the
skeleton of buggy with a seat on it.
The shafts are turned backward, so that
his knees strike them as he sits on the
seat, and he can shift the direction of the
wheels by his knees. He has brake
right in front Of him to operate by hand,
and the sail is on mast right over the
lyuch pin of the front gear. Old Pro-
fessor Jasper used to say, The sun do
move 1 tell you that wagon do move.
The sail operates exactly as if it was on a
boat, and by tacking you get the effects
of boating"

SOMETHING ABOUT KEROSENE.

Marks on tables caused by hot dishes
NAV be removed by kerosene, rubbed in
we'll with soft cloth, finished with q
little cologne water, rubbed dry with an
other cloth.
When giving the final polish to stoves,
before putting away for the summer,
mix the blacking with little kerosene
instead of water, to prevent rust.
Tarnished paint may be cleaned by
rubbing with cloth wet with Kerosene.
Black walnut, or any wood finished in
oil, may be kept bright by polishing with
kerosene.
Pour a teaspoonful of kerosene into
each quart of boiled starch for gloss;
this will also prevent irons sticking to
thin goods.
Kerosene will brighten silver.
Rub lamp chimneys with newspaper on
which has been poured little kerosene.
This will make them much clearer than
if soap is used; they will also be less
liable to crack.
To remove rust from steel rub with
kerosene and soak for day, polishing
with emery dust and kerosene.
Kerosene will soften boots and shoes
hardened by water, and render them as
pliable as new.
Brighten zinc with kerosene.
A tablespoonful of kerosene in boiler
of clothes will greatly facilitate the rub
bing.
Iron and polished steel, when not in
use, may be kept from rusting by wiping
with a cloth on which little kerosene
has been poured.
Oil cloth may be frightened by rubbing
with kerosene.
Kerosene poured on red flannel and
bound on the throat will greatly ease
soar throat. 1t will also heal cuts and
cure chilblains. Good Housekeeping.

Facts About Etna.

The traveller is not so much attracted
to Catania by its reminders OF mighty
past as he is to put eyes and feet upon
the monster which all through that known
time stood moaning or laundering above
it. It's ascent is begun within the very
streets of the city. Strada Edta, Catania's
longest street, beginning at the very edge
of the port side, leads almost due north
toward the volcanoes peak, within few
feet of eleven thousand feet above the
level of the sea, and fully twenty-eight
miles away. The area of country domi-
mated by the mountain, and at all times
subject to overflow of lava. is astound-
ing. It's circumference is fully one hun
dred and seventy miles, and it describes
an irregular circle, of greatest diameter
from north to south. Catania stands ut
the extreme of a southern DETECTION in its
southern segment. The Alcantara River,
rising in its northwestern foot hills, flows
to the northeast, thence circles its north
ern edge, and finally sweers around to
the southeast into the sea. The Simeteo
River, having its source at the northeast,
near that OF the Alcantara, circles the
base, first to the southwest, then south
ward, and then flows around and into the
sea to the southeast, below Catania.
From Catana to the mouth of the Alcan-
tara, the Ionian Sea on the east, running
with almost straight wall of shore, cuts
thin segment ont of this circle. But
within this extraordinarily distinct cir
Gle of 10 miles there is not sQuareinch
of the earth's surface over which the lava
has not at some time poured; which one
cannot now distinguish to be unadul-
teratcd lava soil; aud which is not sub.
icct to-day, or any other time, to new
coating of molten lava. The entire ma
iestic contour of the mountain, broken
here and there by lesser volcanoes, is
visible from any point at this tremendous
base edge; but more strange than all else
is the density of population within the
lower and cutivably luxuriant rim.
Threading the base, along the scashore,
around to the north by the shores of the
Alcantara, around to the south along the
inner, or northern shore of the Simcteo,
and crowding up to the very edge of its
lesser volcanoes, are between sixty and
seventy cities and villages, housing-and
every human being in lifelong danger Of
lestruction-upward of 5000 souls.

POULTRY PASTURE.

Every one who keeps poultry should
provide good piece of green forage for
poultry pasture during late fall and early
spring. A patch of winter rye for such
pasture should be sown early enough to
make a good thick growth before winter,
and the poultry should be kept off till
the rye is heavy enough to bear feeding
without injury. 1t will be specially ac-
ceptable next March and April before
the grass becomes abundant. Fowls
like green forage as we'll as do cattle or
horses, and it is one of the cheapest
forms of food they can have. Any piece
of good garden near the poultry-house
and upon which potatoes or other early
crops have been harvested will do for
rye, which may be plowed under in
spring, in season for planting again, so
that no time or use of land will be lost.
The rye will be on the ground only three
months when otherwise it would lie idle.
Be sure to have the piece large enough,
so the fowls will not eat the rye faster
than it grows. Five to seven pecks of
seed per acre will give thick seeding,
the larger quantity being needed if sown
late in September. .--Northeast Farmer.

RECIPES.

Fried Parsnips-Scrape and slice them
lengthwise about quarter OF an inch
thick, and fry brown in little butter or
clear beef drippings. If previously boiled,
they will fry sooner, or the remnants of
those boiled for dinner may be used.
Potato Pie-Cut any cold meat in inch
square pieces; lay in pie-dish with any
cold gravy, or, if there is no gravy, add
a sprinkle of cornstarch, and little cold
water. Cover the whole with a thick
layer Of mashed potatoes as crust, and
bake a rich brown.
Cracker Pudding-Grate a layer of
crackers in a pudding dish, over which
lay sliced apples, bits of butter, and
sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar. FRO
ceed in this manner till the dish is full {;
pour over all one cup or more of water
with the juice of one lemon, or one cup
of cream or milk.
Okra soup-Six pounds of beef, five
quarts of water, one cup of Lima beans,
three pints of chopped okras, two pints
ripe tomatoes (cut up), one slice of tur-
nip, one teaspoonful of mustard, little
salt and butter. Boil the beef in the wa
ter for one hour, then add other ingredi-
ents and allow to cook for another half
hour.

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

Undertaking is good investment.
Fight stock yermin and plant insects.
Plant carefully to gather abundantly.
Oats and peas grown together are called
"ham sandwiches" for stock.
1t is an Improbable hired man who OBJ
jects to working between meals.
On sandy soils, that leach badly, ap-
ply the manure directly to the crop.
Is there any fun in tilling two acres to
get the products of one2 There is no
profit in it.
Never prune a tree unless there is a
good reason why limb or branch should
be taken off.
Be sure to raise such crops as your
market demands. There is no profit in a
lot of unstable truck.
After YOU have brushed the udder clean,
milk the COW as fast as you can, and milk
her clean to the last drop.
Owing to the sacrifice of breeding
stock, some are predicting better prices
for beef in the near future.
In buying poultry for breeding get
those of good quality. 1t does not pay
to use poor fowls as breeders.
The best plan is to set stake by every
tree in setting out, and then tie firmly to
prevent the wind from shaking.
Clean up the fence corners, burn the
rubbish and put the ashes on the land;
they will do good there; the rubbish may
sow the seeds of weeds.
Get few early broods out and take
good care of them, and show them at
your district or county fair. The pleasure
of doing this will pay you.
Wire netting makes o splendid fencing
for poultry-durable and ornamental. 1t
costs more than lath, but lasts for years
and does not require repairs.
Are your tools all ready for work? If
not, take the first rainy day to get your
cultivator in shape, or the mower and rake
fixed up so you will be ready for the corn
and hay.
Never allow lice to get the start Of
you. Whitewash often and keep plenty
of dust around. Use kerosene occasionally
on the roosts. Don't set too many hens
near each other.
The mild winter leaves surplus Of
hay. Don't be too fest to get rid of it
at the present low prices. Better wait
till the stock is out on good grass. Time
enough then to dispose of the hay.
How about your tool box? Have you
some carriage bolts, assorted sizes and
lengths. Some copper rivets as we'll as
nails and screws in it2 1t will often pay
many times over to have these handy.
If your neighbor has lifted the mort
gage from his farm while your last year S
interest is still unpaid, go over and ask
him how he managed to do it. He may
be able and perfectly willing to give you
! a lift
