A Home ON . Canalboat.

Lying on the opposite side of the pier from
the Arrow line steamship Howard Cassard Is
the floating home Of Captain L. Leonard and
family, of Buffalo. 1t Is q canalboat, old and
weather beaten, but strong and seaworthy.
One end Is fitted up as living quarters, with q
kitchen, dining room and bedrooms, and there
Captain Leonard, bis wife and two children
pass their time. The rooms are cozy and
homellke. and from the ceiling of the dining
room are suspended cages containing mock.
Ing bird and canary. pet thoroughbred
Skye terrier romps with the children or leaps
In miscnievous play At the cages containing
the birds.
Farther back In the boat Il little playroom
used by the children. 1t contains their dolls
and playthings. and also two pet white rab.
bits, which leap about as gayly as though they
were free. At the other end of the boat stable
room has been fitted up for pair of horses,
used by their owner on the towpath, and
large, white Chester pig. The latter is a
direct from IRELAND. The
mother of the pig and the little one were re-
ceived by Captain Leonard In June. The
mother weighed over 800 pounds and was y
beautiful specimen of hog flesh. She was
sold to a stock farmer In New York. and. II
she lives, will be shown at the Worlds fair
In 1898. The pig bids fair to Guido the moth
er. and at three months weighs over 100 lbs.
The horses and pig get along well enough
together. but the little terrier dares not show
bis head in the stable from fear of "Biddy,'
the pig. Captain Leonard and his boat are
from the Erie canal, New York state. In July
be went into New York and got charter to

Save That Com Fodder.

Save that corn fodder. II you keep cows
do not be TOO much elated with big crop OF
corn, and then depend upon the cows to eat
the stalks In the field. Cows that have to
make milk cannot do 1t by roaming In the
open fields In cold weather. They must be
kept under cover from wet and winds. To
feed them in the stable the fodder must
be cut In the field, and either shocked there
or carried near the barn. This last practice

Dairymen Should Grow Peas.

A New York farmer who handles large
herd of cows writes that he has spent from
$500 10 5000 year for several years past In
the purchase of bran and other grain feed for
bis cows. Being reader OF Hoard's Dairy.
man he was greatly interested when that
paper took up the question of growing field
peas as a substitute for bran. This, the paper
did two years ago, but did the same work
more energetically last winter. He had al.
ways accepted the notion which prevailed
among the farmers Of his neighborhood that
peas could not be successfully grown. The
Dairyman took the ground that this notion
was o mistake; that the difficulty with the
average farmer was that he did not under.
stand how to grow peas. In the field the pea
roots deeply; yet almost every farmer pays
no attention to this law or principle, and
sows the peas broadcast, with oats, maybe.
and harrows them In, rarely covering them
more than quarter to a half inch peep.
Thu Dairyman further advised the sowing
of peas more than ever, but insisted that the
seed must be covered at least two to four
inches deep. This can be done with a dees
running grain.dril when the soil Is In goou
filth, but where the farmer has no drill he
can do the work just as well by blowing the
seed under not to exceed the depth of four
inches. The New York farmer said he tried
the latter plan. His neignbors all rdiculed
him for trying some book.farming notion, but
the peas are looking the finest ever seen In
that section. 1t Will prove great blessing
to dairy farmers II they ever get In the way
of growing an abundance of peas for the use
of their cows. Two pounds of pea meal Is
considered nearly the equivalent of six pounds
OF ordinary bran. A good crop will produce
1900 pounds of pea meal to the acre. Fur.

FARM AND HOME.
Foul Brood Successfully Treated.

Canadian beekeepers have a method of
combating foul brood which, according to
Field and Farm, Is not In Deneral practice
elsewhere but Is very successful remedy.
The treatment is simple and hygienic In char
acter and Is pracliced In. all movable comb
hives. In the evening remove the bees and
queen from the diseased colony and place
them In clean hive with foundation starters
in the frame. -Four days afterwards take
away all frames of comb and starters from
them and give them full sheets OF foundation
or empty comb which are known 10 be free
from the faint of disease. The colony Is now
cured and will rear brood healthy and free
from the disease unless contracted again
through the gathering of diseased honey or
otherwise. The honey Is the chief If not the
only medium of cOntagion and one drop of
infected honey brought into healthy colony
if used for larval food Is sufficient to start
the disease. The diseased honey may be rem.
dered inocuous by boiling and the combs by
rendering into wax the dross to be buried.
To save the healthy part Of the brood taken
from diseased colonies leave enough bees to
cover 1t or give It to queen bee colonies and
a. soon rs the healthy brood Is all hatched
put the young bees through exactly the same
process, give them queen or a cell and they
too are cured.

WHO'S THAT OLD JAY?

A Chicago gentleman of wealth and positien
was walking upon one of the ultra. fa shionable
thoroughfares arm In arm with an old man who
wore clothes that can only be purchased at a
country store. lie was one of those kind faced

around him suggested the scent OF clover fields.

We jerk them away in our gossip rash,
Anu somebody's glass, of course goes smash!
What flames have been blasted and broken,

By word In lightness spoken,
BY only an Idle world
A sneer-a shrug-a whisper low
They are poison shafts from an ambushed bow
Shot by the CT ward, the fool, the knave,
They pierce the mail of the great and brave;
Vain is the buckler Of wisdom and pride
To turn the pitiless point aside;
The lip may curl with careless smile,
But the heart drips bloOd-drips blood the while
All me! what hearts have been stirred.
What rivers of blood have been stirred,
BY word In malice spoken,
BY only bitter wordl
A kindly word and a tender tone
To only God Is their virtue known!
They can lift from the dust the abject head,
They can turn a foe to a friend instead;
The heart close-barred with passion and pride
VIII fling at Their knock its portals wide,
And the hate that blights and the scorns that
sears
VIII melt In the fountain OF childlike tears.
What Ice bound griefs have been broken,
What rivers of love have been stirred,
By word In kindness spoken,
By only gentle word.
