A SUBSTITUTE FOR HAY.

A crop which will grow in dry
season is what farmers want to help oft
light hay crop. Hungarian grass,
German or golden millet will grow well
in quite dry soil and yield good crop.
Do not expect, though, to get something
for nothing, for while millet will grow
in dry season, it will not do we'll on
poor soil. 1t requires light, dry,
warm soil, but must have plenty of fer
tility. If the land is not in good heart
give it a good dressing of stable manure
or commercial fertilizer Millet will do
on either sod or plowed land, and may
De sowed quite late. Sod should be
Moved now and we'll cultivated and har-
rowcd. From the middle to the last OF
June SOW bushel of the seed to the acre,
or little less il drilled in. DO not
cover too deeply. In six or seven weeks
it will be fit to cut. II the seed is sowed
too thinly the stalks will be large and
coarse and stock will not relish it so
well. When the heads begin to appear
pretty thickly over the field it is time
to cut it. If left to get ripe the seeds are
said to cause kidney trouble with horses,
and it gets tough and wiry. Millet may
be cut and handled the same as hay.
When cut it parts with its moisture
slowly and does not make hay rapidly.
On good soil millet grows from two to
four feet tall and will yield from three
to six tons of fodder per acre. MIllet
is worth about as much as clover hay to
feed. but is fat-forming and should be
fed with linsecd or cottonscei meal TO
make a good ration.-Ne@ E0gsa@@

FEEDING HORSES.

A great many farm horses arc injured
and some of them are utterly spoiled, by
improper feeding. In many cases the
material usel is not especially adapted to
the needs of the animals, while in others
it is actually injurious. Many cases OF
the "heaves" are caused By feeding musty
hav, and even more serious ailments may
be traced to the use of damaged grain.
There are also many cases Of disease re-
sulting from the improper use OF good
materials. While few farmers feel too
little hay, there are many who give their
horses altogether too large a quantity
They fill the managers or racks and when
the animals have disposed of what they
received a new supply is given. In tn
way, when the horses are in the barn
most of the time they are, as far as
quantity is concerned, greatly overfed.
When these horses are required for work
and really need food more than when
they arc comparatively idle they receive
a much smaller quantity. The safe way
to do in the matter is to feed the horse
regularly, giving him an abundant
quantity, not overlooking him. When
work is required, grain should be added
to the hay in proportion to the work re-
qaired. Even when the horse is idle
small quantities of grain fed with his hay
will be better for him and will be more
profitable for The owner than the use oil
hay alone. But, even if the grain IS
omitted, regular feeding with proper
limitations as to quantity OF hay supplied
will be a great deal better than the con-
slant stufing to which so many farm
horses are subjected. COlmanS Rural

A Inlet Exposed BIZ a Lobster.

An ordinary lobster acting as a de
tective is an anomaly in natural or any
other history. Paris (writcs CORE
spondent) boasts of crustaceal which
has accomplished the feat of assisting
justice to bring home the FULL magnitude
of her guilt to a female thief, whose
speciality consisted in making predatory
excursions round grocers' shops in order
to annex articles hanging up or displayed
for sale outside these establishments.
French grocers, it must be added, fire.
ouently sell shell fish as we'll as coffee,
sugar aud spice, and one Of these trades
men, living in the Rue Vielle du Tenn
ple, had nice assortment Of marine
edibes outside his place Of business the
other day.
A tolerably well dressed woman was
observed by n shop assistant taking some
small articles from the exterior collec-
ton of goods, and was speedily given in
charge to the police. At the station the
prisoner was being INTERCEPTED by I'm
inspector when suddenly the muscles OF
her face contracted; she clenched her
teeth and hands, and exhibited all the
symptoms Of a person in agony. The
woman went on in this way for SOME
time, TO the stupefactiou of the police
official. when she at last shook her dress
violently, and out dropped a large, live
lobster.
The delinquent confessed that she had
stolen the crustaccan from the grocer,
had tied II up under her mantle, and at
tached it to her girdle. At the critical
moment of her Interrogation the lobster
had worked its claws loose, and began
to apply them vigorously to the waist of
its captor, whose bodice was badly torn.
The woman was sent at once to the de-
pot, the preternaturally acute crustaccaa
being returned to its lawful owner.

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
CLEARING LAND OF ROCKS.

The easiest way to clear land of rocks
is to dig close to them and turn them
over into the holes and bury them. Care
is tc be taken not to dig too near them
in loose ground. If the stone is worth
TIC cost for any use the rocks may be
broken up with dynamite cartridges ex-
ploded under them, by punching holes
with steel bar so as to bring the explo-
sive as near to the centre as possible.
The dynamite is procured in rolls one
and one-quarter inches thick and ten in
ches long, and be cut like cheese with a
knife. A piece three inches long will
break a rock of half a ton or more If
skillfully used. 1t is best to employ
some person who understands it and
who will we'll save his wages in the more
effective work done. The dynamite Is
exploded by means of Illuminating cap
ard common fuse attached to it and fired
in the usual manner.-Neo York Times.

The Conjurer's Best Trick.

must tell of a remarkable conjuring
trick saw performed while on voyage
from London to Calcutta. The conjuror
was Parsee, whom you might have taken
for a respectable servant out of a place,
but who actually was landowner
travelling for pleasure, who had taken up
conjuring as an amusement. Spreading a
white cloth on the deck of the steamer,
he sat down with his back against the
companion hatch. As soon as he had
settled himself, he turned to one of our
fellow-voyagers aud asked for the loan
of a rupee. which he requested should be
given to one of the ladies present. The
lady took it, and, at the request of the
conjurcr, looked at it and declared it to
bo a real rupee. The performer then
told the lady to hand it back to the gen.
tleman OF whom he had borrowed it,
The gentleman took 1t and then the FOL
lowing dialogue ensued
Coniurer-"Are you sure that is
rupee"
Feilow-yoyager -"Ycs.'
Conjurcr-"Close your hand upon it
and hold il fight. Now think of some
country in Europe, but do not tell me
your thoughts"
After a moments pause the gentleman
who held the coin said that he had
thought of a country.
"Then open your hand, " said the jug
glcr; see what you have and tel me il
it is not coin of the country you thought
Of"
Strangely enough it was a fve-iranc
piece, and our friend admitted that he
had thought OF France. He was on the
point of handing the coin to the cOnjurer
for inspection, when the latter said;
mo; pass it TO another As l hap
pened to be the nearest, the fve.franc
piece was handed to me. Hooked close
ly at it, carefully examining both sides,
until was satisfied that it was now a
coin OF the realm of France, even though
it had been a rupee but few moments
before. Then, tightly clutching it in
my hand, l thought Of America. When
l had relaxed my grasp l four d that |
had Mexican dollar in my hand. This
l handed to a gentleman on my right,
who, in turn, thought of Russia, and on
opening his hand, found a Russian silver
piece in place OF the Mexican dollar.
The juggler performed several other
tricks during the voyage, but they wee
of commonplace kind, and in no way
comparable to the coin trick, which ]
have never seen rivalled or explained

Here is something from Mr.. Frank
A. Hale, proprietor Of the De Witt
House, Lewiston, and the Tontine
Hotel, Brunswick, Me. Hotel men
meet the world as it comes and goes,
and are not slow in sizing people
and things up for what they are
worth. He says that he has lost
father and several brothers and Sis
tiers from Pulmonary Consumption,
and is himself frequently troubled
with colds, and he
Hereditary often coughs enough
to make him sick at

ever he has taken a
cold of this kind he uses Boschee's
German Syrup, and it cures him
every time. Here is a man who
knows the full danger of lung trout
bles. and would therefore be most
particular as to the medicine he used.
What is his opinion? Listen Il

WHY Manila is One Day Behind.

Manila is one Of the most important
ports in the Philippine Islands, bat,
strange to say, is one day behind all other
places of its size in the W rid. This Gu
rious fact is accounted for in thi, way:
Although the Philippine Islands lie near
the Asiatic Coast, they were discovered
I,y Spaniards who sailed from America.
When they crossed the magic line where
Sunday suddenly changes into Monday,
these fiery dons of proud Castiliau auces-
tors did not revise their calendar. When
told OF this years later, When informed
that their mode Of reckoning time was
not up to modern notions, they only said
that that was so much the worse for mod.
ern notions. Anyhow, the fact remains
that these Philippine Islands keep plod-
ding along one day behind all the rest OF
the world, which rcckons time by new
style.
