Intiux of Russian jews.

The influx of Jews from Russia on
account of the recent edict of the Rus
sian Government is causing consider
able concern in Jewish circles. 1t is
believed that no less than 100000 OF
these people will seek refuge in
America. Morris Goodhart. Chairman
IF the Advisory Board of the Hebrew
Sheltering Guardian Society, and
prominent member of the Order OF
B'nal Birth, who has given much at
lention to the condition and prospects OF
the Russian Jewish colony in this city,
says:
"This wholesale crusade against the
Jews in Russia will drive them from
that country to such countries as arc
friendly to them, and of all countries
where they have reason to expect hospi-

where, above all others, they will be

in point of fact, is intended to be used
for just such purposes, IN order to

Historian LOSING.

Benson j. LOSING, the historian, is a
ruddy- complexioned old gentleman with
lime-white beard and moustache, aud
shows the wear and tear of his seventy
odd years. He lives on farm near Do
yer Plains, n. Y, with his two sons,
aud has an accomplished daughter who
is an artist of merit, and who illustrates
many of her fathers publications. His
library is one of the finest in the country
and he keeps all his books and manu-
scripts in fre-proof building adjoining
his house. He is still occasionally seen
on the streets of New York and takes an
active interest in politics, being a con-
frmed Prohibitionist. He is, next to
John S. G. Abbot undoubtedly the most
popular chronicler the United States has
had, and for one volume of Bancoft,
Motley or Draper, at least five of Los

raised on farms and suburban places and

raised on farms and suburban places and
allowed freedom.
There is one rule of action the farmer
must carry out in raising poultry, and
that is to give them proper care and
make them comfortable. He should be-
gin with good stock, select the breeding
fowls for vigor, and from these raise
young stock. The old habit of selecting
eggs from promiscuous flock is poor
policy; endeavor to breed to uniformity
and from selected pen. The main
foundationf or success if in healthy stock,
and that the farmer can secure because
he is not influenced by standard require
ments.
When one is ready to raise chickens to
sell and replace the old birds his object
is to raise all he can conveniently. After
selecting the eggs you want faithful
sitter and one that is free from lice and
parasites. If this precaution is not taken
into account every chicken in the brood
will become lousy. The hen should be
busted frequently with insect powder
and the chickens examined after hatch
ing out. After being well brooded
little hard boiled egg and stale bread
crumbs sopped in milk, or broken pieces
of cracker, with little milk for the first
few days. A little dry oatmeal and mil
let seed for a change, followed with
baked oatmeal and johnny cake, crushed
wheat or middlines and barley meal
baked. Some sharp sand may be placed
around the coop, and fresh water or
milk in shallow dishes. In front of the
coop rake the ground so they can dust,
and at night put false bottom or bed
ding to keep them off the cold and damp
ground. These are the main requisites
for young chickens.-NssO Yors Herald.

UTILIZING BONES FOR MANURE.

Dissolved and Underground bones
make most excellent fertilizer for nearly
all kinds of farm crops. But to reduce
fresh or old bones to a fine powder. or to
dissolve them with acids, is an expensive
operation, and is rarely attempted except
by manufacturers of commercial fertiliz-
ers, who have all the machinery necessary
for such work. Whole bones, or even
small pieces the size of waluuts. when
buried in the soil dissolve very SLOWLY.
out no doubt furnish nutriment to the
roots of plants coming in contact with
them; but it would require a number of
tons per acre of such bones to produce
any very marked results. Bones are

RAISING CHICKENS.

There has been a great improvement
in chicken breeds the past thirty years in
the quality of their flesh, in egg p1oduc.
ton, in beauty and uniformity of color,
and in the case of fattening readily, but
we cannot say that there has been so
much of Improvement in the way of
raising chickens. if we except modern
convenience, arrangements and care.
Our chickens are lousy to-day as well as
ever; they sicken and die now as fast as
they did thirty years ago if neglected.
There is more profit nowadays raising
poultry than in times of yore, and it Is
to this point that we call especial atten-
ton.
If one would follow the advice of
some writers on how to raise chickens
he would be everlastingly continuing the
most palatable food for their use, fussing
and pampering with condiments, devel-
oping food, bone meal, ground shell and
such like, which are of no permanent and
essential value to healthy chicken.
Fowls, animals or bipeds raised arti-
hcially never attain that physical devel-
opment, stamina, hardness and vigor
which nature, natural food and natural
conditions ever bestow to organic life.
The chick from the shell needs healthy
and nutritious food, plenty of sunlight
and fresh air, agreeable exercise and
comfortable shelter from rain and cold.
1t is folly for farmers to attempt fol-
lowing the routine of fanciers who live in
villages or towns, and who are crowded
for room and arc obliged to raise their
fowls in an artificial way. They get good
prices for their eggs and prime birds,
and in order to keep them in presentable
condition for sale and exhibition
they must supply them with artifciallJ
prepared food and other necessities in
lieu of natural food they would get Il

Mark Antony's Craze for opaIs.

While most gems owe their tint to the
presence Of some foreign coloring ma ter,
the many hued and beautiful opal differs.
1t is opaque. deriving its beauty from the
marvellous property it possesses of decom-
posing the rays of light, and thus reflect
ing from its polished surface all the
colors of the rainbow. 1t needs, there
fore no brilliant, but appears to best adj
vantage when alone. 1t is at present
among the most priced of gems, and has
held its place for ages. Mark Antony
once offered $3.50, 900 for an opal the
size of a hazel nut; but the owner, Non
ius, Roman Senator, preferred exile to
parting with his treasure. In spite of
their value opals are unsafe investments,
for time and exposure dim their lustre,
while their sensitiveuess to heat is so great
that the warmth of the hand has been
known to crack them. The finest stones
come from Hungary, and among the Aus
trian crown jewels are gem i greater size
and beauty than that which tempted the
Roman Emperor. - New York Journal.

Misfertunss.
Those who saw much Of Abraham Lincoln
during the later years OF his life were greatly
impressed With the expression Of profound
melancholy his facs always wore in repose.
Mr. Lincoln was of peculiarly sympathe-
TIC and kindly nature. These strong chRrac-
teristics Influences, very happily, as It proved,
his entire political career. They would not
seem, at first glance, to be efficient aids to
political success; but in the peculiar ener-
gency which Lincoln, in the providence OF
God. was called to meet, no vessel OF COM
mon clay could possibly have become the
chosen OF the Lord.
Thoss acquainted with him from boyhood
knew that early griess tinged his whole life
with sadness. His partner in the grocery
business at Salem, was Uncle Billy Green,
Of Tallula, H.. who used at night, when the
customers were few, to hold the grammar
while Lincoln recited his lessons
1t was to sympathetic ear Lincoln told
the story OF his love for sweet Ann Rutlidge;
and be. in return, offered what comfort be
could when poor Ann died, and Lincoln's
great heart nearly broke.
After Ann died, says Uncle Billy, s'on
stormy nights, when the wind blew the rain
against the roof, Abe would set thar in the
grocery, his elbows on his knees, his face in
his hands, and the tears runnin' through his
fingers hated to see him feel bad, an I'd
say, Abe don't cry and he'd look up an

TOPICS OF INTEREST RELATIVE
TO FARM AND GARDEN.
LENGTH OF TREE ROOTS.

The mistake of many people in ma
nuring trees is to place the fertilizer as
near the trunk as possible. This Isl
very much like feeding man held in
upright position by placing the food
near his feet. More frequently, how
ever, the manure is spread as far as the
branches extend from the trunk. The
feeding roots of large trees are mainly
much farther from their trunk than their
branches. Bury some dead animal three
or even four rods from an apple tree in
full bearing, and within year or two
roots will extend this distance and find
the fertilizer they need. In most or
chards tree roots interace each other, and
this crowding is one reason why the
trees are so often unproductiye. 1t re-
quires extra high feeding in such cases
to keep the trees vigorous enough to be
fruitful. If every other tree were cut
out the result in many cases would be
more and better fruit than now on those
left standing - Boston Culticat0r.
