KEEPING cows INDOORS

3. w. Stewart answers an inquiry in
the Country Gentleman as to the advisa-
bility of feeding cow continuously in
stable, as follows: aThe dairy cow re-
quires less exercise, perhaps, than any
other farm animal. Exercise is opposed
to the secretion Of milk, and the dairy
cow, il in q hight, well ventilated stable,
a keep healthy with only an occasional
airing in the open yard. We have known
herds perfectly healthy without being
turned out Of the stable during the win
ter season. Dairy cows will do better,
and give more milk on the am food,
when never turned ont except for an
hour or SO on . pleasant day. They
should be watered when they stand in
stable. When fed constantly in stable.
great care should be taken to give food
in the most digestible form, and special
attention should be given to its being
palatable."

The California "Nortller."

The ssnorther" in California is the
same as the Chinook in the Northwest.
It is a hot wind that brings certain de-
struction to all vegetation if it prevails
for any length of time, as it dries up
leaf. branch and root. Not long ago
one prevailed in the valleys of Califor-
mia and wrought heavy losses to the own
ers of orchards, vineyards and growing
crops. Since then there has been a
lively discussion as to the best methods
of obtaining protection against the re-
currence of these Losses. Of course there
is no means of preventing the invasion
of a ssnorther," but it has been discov-
cred that when the barometer at Winnie
mueca indicates 30.05 or more, the wind
is certain to make a visit. By watching
the Signal Service reports closely, the
fruit grower could tell when his property
was threatened. Armed with this knowl-
edge he could, it is believed, prevent
much damage by spraying his trees and
vines. As another means of protection
it is suggested that companies to insure
against s'northers" be organized. The
plan is regarded as feasible as the organ
jzation of companies to insure against
cyelones.-Boston Transcript.

10 ObYIate Trolley Poles.


If the invention of DIR. Bates, of this
city, stands the test of experiment, the
entire electric railway system Of over
head wires and poles will soon be super
seeded BY q simple conduit bolted to the
centre Of tine track. Some such inven-
ton is greatly needed. The overhead
maze Of wire is a constant source Of de-
lay and danger. The place for oil cleo
tire wires, whether for railways, tele-
graphs or telephones, is underground or,
properly insulated and protected in con-
duits, as proposed By Dr.. Bates.
The main difficulty to be a%pprehend-
ed with the new invention is with snow
and ice ID winter. The slot which adj
mits the trolley arm from the car into
the conduit is protected from rain and
dust By d steel strip which acts with d
spring. # this strip and spring can pro-
tect the slot alike from rain and dust In
summer, and from snow and ice IN win
ter, the invention may prove TO be oneof
the most important in years. President
Lowry deems the invention to possess
considerable merit, and will undoubred-
II give it i thorough trial.-Mlaae-

HOW TO CATCH A FOWL.

Few persons know how to secure a
fowl to advantage. Never seize a fowl
by the tail, if a fine bird, nor touch the
back, but grasp both legs at once, with
a firm, tight, quick hold, and then raise
free from the ground or perch and hang
the body down clear of any obstacle.
This method does not rufie the plumage
or turn a feather, which in a fine bird
must be avoided. When the web OF the
feathers is once broken it can never be
united again, and where much handled
this often occurs, giving to the bird a
ragged appearance. It is the source Of
much annoyance to a nice, clean, smooth
bird to have the plumage ruffied. Their
bodily covering is regarded with the ut
most care, and the lustre aud beauty Of
it indicate the health and strength of the
fowl.-Raasas Farmer.

His Secret of Longevity.

A Ruthenian, 124 years old, Is living
in the town of Belgorod, Russia. His
name is Bogdan Nitchinorenko. He Is
still hale and hearty, only his hearing is
somewhat impaired. He ascribes his old
age to his manner of living. At the age
of twenty-five he became i'll, and as there
were no physicians in the neighborhood,
a Tartar practitioner, II "wise man"
was engaged to cure him. For three
weeks he was under the Znakhar's treat
ment until his health was restored. Part
ing from him the Znakhar told him that
if he wished to live long he must never
eat any old or stale food. For fear lest
he fall sick agais, Nitchinorenko OBJ
served this rule scrupulously. He ate
nothing but spring fowl, veal or lamb,
and never touched a piece of meat of an
old animal. sEven garden fruit he ate
only when it was quite young and fresh,
he never touched canned or picked food
of any kind.-Picayune.

The Experiment Of a Brokers' Clerk.

brokers' clerk, and usually it costs ms
that much to live. Until the month of
Nav last it seemed to me that a mar could

such as phosphoric acid, potash and
lime, are derived solely and entirely from
the soil. Nitrogen, on the other hand,
may be taken into the plant from the
air or from the soil, and nitrogen is the
most valuable constituent of manures.
and by far the costliest ingredient of
commercial fertilizers. It now seems
certain, from experiments and analyses
made both in Europe and this country,
that many OF the SO called legumes, es-
pecially the clovers and peas, have the
power Of gathering a part of their nitro
gen in the form of protein.
The protein compounds form blood,
muscle, tendon, bones AID other nitro
genous tissues. This makes plants O
this class especially valuable as folders
in supplying the protein in which many
of our most common fodder plants are
lacking. When they are plowed under,
or are fed to stock and the manure is
returned to the ground, they also supply
the nitrogen which other crops-such as
wheat, rye, oats, grapes and root crops
are unable to acquire for themselves,
except through the medium OF the soil.
1t has thus become quite generally under
stood among farmers that, whether cul-
tivation for the sake of their own prod
ucts may be profitable or not, there are
but few soils where they can be ignored

eventually to Improyement.-Nfp York

The English Language.

The singular and various senses of
words in the English language are seen
in the following words and their mean
ings:
A sleeper is one who sleeps. Asleeper
is that in which the sleeper sleeps. A
sleeper is that on which the sleeper runs
while the sleeper sleeps. Therefore
while the sleeper sleeps in the sleeper,
the sleeper carries the sleeper over the
sleeper under the sleeper until the sleeper
which carries the sleeper jumps the
sleeper and wakes the sleeper in the
sleeper by striking the sleeper on the
sleeper, and there is no longer any sleeper

this direction. The white herons that
haunt the swamps and shores are. beng
hunted to the death that We may have
stuffed birds, and our little gulls are be-
coming less and less to supply the exac-
tions Of trade. On a certain beach near
Los Angeles there is the resting place of
a beautiful little tern. I knew they laid
there, and often visited the spot to watch
them. One season I found the eggs
were rare, and soon discovered the rea-
son. | met a boy one day with his
handkerchief full, who explained that
he visited the place every day and took
all the eggs, which he sold to a collector
at five cents apiece. A few seasons of
this and the tern will be a stranger here,
especially as the birds bring ten cents.
At one of the islands off shore brown
p~elicans formerly frequented the little
harbor, adding to the a~ttraetiyeness of
the surroundings, but as they made a
good target for novices with the gun
they were speedily diminished and scat
tered. The economic value of animals
should be emphatically dwelt upon in
the schools or wherever natural history
is taught, which would result in the
children beng able to make a careful
discrimination in later years. In point
of fact it is believed that every living
thing has its ~ayocation, its work to do
in preserving a perfect adjustment of
life. 1t might be difficult to explain to
a child the exact benefit derived by the
human race by heas, yet l might add
that trained feas have afforded a direct

Of this continent, and when well cared

twenty-five to forty pounds at full
growth. 1t has been much improved

INSECTS 1NluR1ous no. oLovER.

The Ohio Station describes three in
sects which do considerable damage to
clover: i. The clover root borer is a
small brownish- black, infinitely spotted
beetle which deposits its eggs during
spring IN The crown Of the clover plant.
These hatch, and the larga burrow
downward through the larger roots of
the plants, doing serious injury. The
remedy is frequent rotation of crops,
thus not allowing the clover fields to
stand until they become breeding placer
for the insects.
2. The ciover-seed nudge is a small
orange coiored maegot that develops in
The clover head at the expense of the
seed. Fields infected BY this insect are
at once distinguished BY the unnatural
condition Of the heads at the time Of
biossoming. The best preventive is
moving the field as soon as the presence
OF the insect is observed aud before the
seed has reached maturity.
8, Clover hay that has been standing
iii the NOV Of stack for sone time IS
liable to become infested by small brown
worms which web the dried stems and
leaves together and feed upon them. This
Is most likely to occur when old hay is
left over FROM season to season fer them
to breed il, consequently the mows should
be thoroughly cleaned out each summer
and new stacks should not be put Oh old
foundations until all the leavings Of the
previous season are removed. Hay
which IS infested with the worms should
be burned.

CURING HAY.

that air cannot come ID at the sides.
But II very green It must be entirely free
from water, either Of deWs or rain, which
carries bacteria to the hay, and creates
more violent fermentation than is pos
sible with the juices Of the clover alone.
The heat Of fermentation dries up these
juices so that they make 4 sweet, gunlny
substance that is really preservative. #
no air can get in, then such hay would
keep, as preserves are kept ID closed jars.
But the mixture Of old hay or straw with
new prevents all danger Of loss. A farmer
remarked that some years $50 be had .

q little of it, and he purchased grain
and fed straw with il instead. Next

The mixture made excellent hay The
old and the new were eaten with equal

result would have followed alternating
green hay with straw, excepting that the
straw has i lower nutritiye value. Part,
however, of the defective nutrition Of
