why stanley Came Back.

When the great African explorer was
by many persons given up as lost, and
even the most sanguine We're full offear
for his safety, says the Irish News, there
was one woman in London who never
doubted that he would return.
The woman was Stanley's landlady.
Whenever any one suggested the pos
sibility that he might never be heard
from again, she replied with perfect
confidence:
"NIr. Stanley has not given up his
rooms, and | am sure he will return.
Stanley did return, though the world
in general has not until recently been
aware of the imperative engagement
which made it impossible for him to dc
Otherwise.

Combined Fresh Water, Brine, and Gas
Well,

One Of the most remarkable things of
which Pitt 'burg boasts is the cpmbina-
ton well that has been struck on Liberty
street 1t has produced at one and the
same time cold water. pure and sweet.
salt water, and flow of gas that. when
ignited illuminates the entire surround
ings. The well was drilled some time
ago, to get supply of pure cold water
for use in bakery in the summer and
during flood times, when city water is
not desirable. At 100 feet the fresh water
was struck, and at 200 feet the salt water
and gas We're found. Two castings were
inserted, one for the salt water and gas,
the other for the fresh watcr,--and now,
when the engine is started and the gas
lighted, spectators behold the wonderful
sight of fresh water, salt water, and fire
all coming out of one well at the same
time.

stock from pushing it in when reaching
for hay. Spike two two-inch planks
(b) one foot wide around the bottom.
Then bolt AKA inch piece (c) or good
heavy pole above the top Of planks two,
or two and half feet, according to the
size Of the stock, as full-grown cattle
will require larger space than calves
or young stock. This rail is necessary,
as cattle are very liable to box one
another into the rack, and falling on
their backs II not found at once will get
killed, as know by actual experience;
even after they were dehorned they
would force weaker animal into the
manger. Let your cattle just eat the
hay from the stack, making them eat it
as near the bottom as possible, and then
throw out the refuse that accumulates
in feeding.
Then throw it down from one end just
as you would If you were going to haul
1t to the rack, exposing no more OF the
stack than you can feed in two or three
weeks. Fill the rack around the side
of the stack to the top OF the planks,
as the stock are liable to pull the hay
out and trample it under foot If piled
up to the railing. Give them just
enough so they will clean it up we'll,
and before feeding again throw out all
the refuse, just as you do with your
horses hangers
If you have good hay, we'll stacked, it
is a pleasure to feed it this way, and an
easy matter, too. The reason / think

Marketing Strawberries.

When we begin picking, writes Presi-
dent Smith, of the Wisconsin Horticult-
ural Society, the boys and girls are en-
gagged ahead. Each picker has two
boxes-one to put perfect berries in, the
other for small ones. Then boy whose
business is to carry boxes takes the
filled boxes and leaves the empty ones.
He puts the filled boxes in a crate and
when this is full, it is carried by an
other boy to the cellar on wheelbarrow
with springs on 1t. They stay here I'M
til thoroughly cooled. We sometimes
use ice to do this. They are handled as
little as possible. We make our own
crates Of lath, nailed on to end boards
Of lumber Of the right width. We drive
to market on walk. Each crate holds
10 boxes. The fruit is carefully taken
to the depot, but afterleaving our hands
it is sometimes abused by express
agents 1t takes seven laths to make a
16-qt. crate. A boy will put up one in 10
minutes. A 24-qt. crate can be made at
a cost OF not over five cents. We piece
three laths on the sides. l sometimes
bribe the express boys not to steal the
berries by offering them all they can
eat

A "Specimen Brick" from the Mckinley
RilI

The following specimen brick, y
relating to manufactured fertilizers,
is taken from the Mckinley tariff bill:
The Mckinley bill will impose a
tax of from 80 to $3.50 on every ton of
manufactured fertilizer used by our
farmers.
Now, the farmers Of the country
cannot stand these figures.
We use 1000, 900 tons Of these fertili-
zers a year. The bill, therefore, pro-
poses to rob the farmers Of more than
81, 900, 900 annually.
At present the sulphuric acid used
in the manufacture OF fertilizers is
taxed. Very little is imported. The
manufacturers are making money.
The government needs no additional
revenue. Why tax this necessary ar
ticle?
If the government draws this "a,
900, 900 year from pockets OF the
farmers, it will be to benefit forty or
fifty manufacturers whose thousand
or so workingmen will receive no
higher wages.
This is another attempt to tax the
masses for the classes. There is nei-
Their reason nor justice in it.
Farmers, how do you like it? While
Congress lays an additional tax OF
SIS, 0O0,0 900 for pensions. it draws 81,
100000 a year from your pockets to
enrich the forty or fifty fertilizer man
ufacturers. These taxes are nothing
after one gets used to them.

this stack rack preferable to any other
is because 1t is less labor and does not
waste 80 much If properly used. In
hauling 1t to the rack it has to be
pitched on the wagon, requiring one
man to build, and then it has to be
pitched on the rack and tramped in. In
this way, it Is fed at the bottom OF the
stack, saving much unnecessary hand
ling. With good shelter, plenty of good
hay and 8 or ears of corn per day,
stock cattle will inter in good shape.
The money in hay lies in getting a
large yield from small amount Of
land, and in getting good article and
taking care OF it One therefore needs
q shed, as it is much better than a
stack. This need not be an expensive
structure. Five tolerable straight
poles twenty feet long, eight feet apart
on each side with three in the middle.
Roof with boards. This will suffice for
an ordinary eighty-acre farm. There
should be four or five feet Of fall in the
roof, and the twenty-foot poles should
set three or four feet in the ground
This, at the most should not cost over
twenty-five dollars, and if in timber
country where poles can be had cheaply,
nd man does the work himself, there
eed not be much expense outside the
eight hundred feet Of lumber which the
roof REQUIRES
