xheir Uses In Both Ancient and Modern
Among the goods and chatte1s which
are daily arriving at the German EN-
iperor's hunting box, Syringe. near
Hanover, where his Majesty will put up
while assisting at the maneuvers during
the latter half of the present month,
have been seventy-two couples of
carrier pigeons, all of which are to be
used for military purposes. Apropos
of this battalion of doves, a German
contemporary publishes long and inter
esting article on carrier pigeons in mill
tary service.
It is pointed out that the service Of
the doves, which is now rapidly becom-
ing an important item in modern war
fare, sprang, in the late Franco-German
war, as small shoot from the mighty
tree Of militarism. But, adds the
writer, it would be q great mistake to
imagine that the faculty of the carrier
pigeon to find its way back to its home
from long distance was only discov-
cred during the tsgreat war" Even the
ancients knew of it, and knew well how
to make use of it. Thus in ancient
Egypt there existed a well-organized
service of carrier pigeons, and pigeon
stations were specially built all over
Syria and Egypt. Thus the Crusaders
found in the eleventh century, during
the siege of Jerusalem, a well-organized
service of carrier pigeons in that city.
In modern times, however, though the
pigeons were often used in private life
to carry messages, it was only the war
of 1901 which attracted the full atten-
ton of military States-France and Ger
many first and foremost among them
to the service which might be rendered
in times of war by the very bird which is
generally considered the. symbol of
peace and good will. There were p1en-
ty of breeders who could give full in
formation concerning the breeding and
training of the ordinary carrier pigeon;
but in order to make the birds useful
for purposes of war it was necessary to
obtain special breed, the chief charac-
teristic of which had not to be its speed,

AS means of prevention it is suggested
that the plants be trained and pruned
in such a manner that plenty of air and
sunlight will at all times be permitted
to come in contact with the canes. In
all cases canes that have been killed by
the fungus should be removed and de-
stroyed. A solution of sulphate of iron,
two pounds in five gallons of water, has
been recommended to be sprinkled on
the shoots before the buds have started

FARM AND GARDEN.


A Good Plan for Saving Farm FertIIzing
Material.
My plan for saving all the manure,
for making the very best quality of
plant food, and for getting the full BEN
eft of the developing capacity Of the
manure is this: Our COWS stand over a
water-tight basement cellar. Doors are
on the southeast side; space ten feet
in width next to these is covered by a
shed connecting with the barn and low
enough to allow windows over the shed
roof to light the COW stable; the tie-up
for the cows is over the middle of the
cellar. The back section ten feet wide
is used as store-room for field soil, and
is filled by dumping from driveway in
front of the cows.
is the surface soil of our cultivated
fields. We often gather it after crop
of potatoes, fodder corn, oats or barley
or in the spring before planting corn.
We gather the dry soil in the ridges
with a scraper, having sides six feet
long, six inches wide, two inches thick,
five feet apart in front, fifteen inches in
the rear, and we shovel from the ridges
into carts. In the cellar, by putting q
bank of soil on each side of a space five

droppings from the cows, a mixture
trough is formed; three inches in depth
of the soil are spread on the bottom,
and about twice week the solid ma
nure is spread, and then soil enough is
thrown over it to hold all that falls be-
fore the time to spread it again. When
the manure gets to be two or three feet
deep in the trough it is thrown into the
section next to the doors and is ready
for use.
As the manure in the trough lies in
thin layers of soil and solid manure, by
beginning at one end, standing on the
bottom of the cellar and working at the
face of the pile, it becomes so we'll
mixed that each forkful as it is thrown
into the cart will contain very nearly
its right proportion of solid and liquid
ingredients and thus make first-class
plant food. think there is no way in
which we can get so much from the
liquid as by having it fall upon the best
soil we can get, and then the best way
to use this saturated soil is to mix it
with its right proportion of solid manure.

RASPBERRY BLIGHT.

How the Disease Makes Its First Appear.
ance-Method OF Treatment.
The raspberry is usually hardy in the
Northern States. though occasionally
affected by diseases commonly caused
by long-continued unfavorable climatic
conditions. AS a general answer to in
quiries that have been made on the sub
ject, it may be said that If the disease
first appears on the canes near the base,
producing small purple spots variously
scattered around it and growing more
minute as they approach the tips and
causing the framework of the leaves to
show whitish blister-like spots, it is
caused by fungus that attacks the
raspberry and blackberry, as shown in
the illustration.
The disease rarely spreads injuriously
during dry weather, but most rapidly
during damp seasons and at times when
moisture collects in drops on the canes.

AMAZING FACTS.

Some Statements Relating to the Publishins

The cloud of paper flying daily from
the humming presses is amazing to con-
template. Many of the Sunday editions Of
from twelve to forty pages would carpet
the cities where they are printed. A
short time ago on a gala occasion the
Atlanta Constitution turned out fifty
six page edition. The San Francisco
Examiner, at the christening of it's two
monster Hoe perfecting presses, '.Mon-
ARCH and Jumbo" threw out upon a
startled community forty pages of por-
traits and illustrations, and the ST. Paul
Pioneer-Press came out with sixty-page
edition. describing the largest newspa-
per building in the world.
For the SOC, 900 edition of its premium
number the Youths Companion used 125
tons of paper, and to illustrate this
startling fact printed picture of the
Eiffe1 tower-1,O00 feet high, and by
its side the stack of paper, piled ream
on ream 8, 400 feet-three times and over
the height of the famous column.
For the white paper of Harper's Mag
azine and the Century it costs at least
5000, 600 in year. Many of the presses
of the metropolitan dailies eat up 81, 200
worth of blank paper in day. Add to
the morning and evening output of
these whirling monsters the tons upon
tons of weeklies, monthlies and trade
publications, and at from four to ten
cents per pound one gets financially be-

CARRIER PIGEONS ON A JOURNEY.

but the accuracy with which it found its
way back to its home. In order to pro-
tect the pigeon as much as possible
from the eye of the human enemy and
the hawk it had also to be of particu-
lar color.
To obtain this race breed was at last
obtained which combined great strength
of wing, rapid flight and quick eye
for localities, and which was able to find
its own food in strange district. The
bird in which are best united these quail
tiles is the Belgian carrier pigeon, which
consequently is found at nearly all mill.
itary pigeon stations.
Having thus obtained breed of pig
cons specially suitable for military
purposes, the sprightly members of the
young race are at once taken in hand
by the drilling-master. AS soon as
bird can fly it is taken a short distance
from the parental cot, to v hich it has
to make its way back as best it can.
The distance is increased every time
the bird is taken out, and at the end of
three months the modern Hermes finds
its homo from distance of fifty miles.
At an age up to two years it manages
two hundred miles, and full-grown,
experienced bird is not bafhed by three
times that distance. It seldom happens
that single bird is missing from a
flight which has traversed distance up
to seventy or eighty miles; but on great
er journeys being undertaken by the
adjutants of the air the same message
is always given to several pigeons, in
order to assure its arrival at its destina-
ton even If bird went astray or was
killed on its way. The average speed at
which q carrier pigeon flies is estimated
at rather more than half a mile per
minute.
The present organization of the army
of doves is that military carrier-pigeon
cotes are kept in large fortresses. The
various battalions of these warriors
live in different parts of the cot, accord
ing to the direction in which they have
been trained to fly. If a war breaks
out, and Russia, for example, should
fear an invasion of her frontier dis
trict, the pigeons trained to fly from
Ivangorod to Warsaw are taken from
Warsaw to Ivangorod, and those trained
to fly from Warsaw to Ivangorod are
taken in the opposite direction. As
soon as the necessity arises a certain
number of birds are let loose to supply
the outer world. If the pigeons can
not be taken back, either by balloon or
some other means, to the place from
which they started, they are no longer
of any use in the present war.
Passing over in diplomatic silence the
number and names of the German mill
tary carrier-pigeon stations, the writer
concludes by pointing out that at the
end of 1887 Russia had five such stations,
and an increasing number of private
carrier-pigeon societies; Belgium has
over one thousand of the latter; France
had no less than twenty in 1886; Aus
tria is somewhat remiss in establishing
dove-cotes, but the Government looks
with much favor upon private institu-
lions of the same kind, and Italy had
last year twelve fortresses stocked with
carrier pigeons, besides two cotes at
Massowah and Assab, which were in
capital working order.

Torn wounds are more dangerous, as
a rule, for they heal slower and by the
process of suppuration, while cut
wounds, if soon and properly drawn to-
gether, heal quickly. These come from

causes. They should be cleansed with
