FOREIGN GOSSIP.

The wild beast business seems to
be very active. Carl Hagenbeck, of the
Crystal palace, has. during the past
year, disposed of TAI lions, over 700
tigers, $50 elephants and panthers.
Nine hundred pounds was paid for a
female hippopotamus, 5000 for a rhi-
noceros,and e200 for tapir. Lions vary
in price from $40 up to e4oo A fine
tiger fetches s20O, and white bear
only $50.
Acres OF ground around Sandring-
ham, the prince of Wales country seat,
are devoted to the cultivation of lilies
OF the valley, the sweet-scented and
ever-popular spring blossom. In the
little village near there is little else ex-
cept remarkably fine ruin of little
church, and hundreds of thousands of
the pure hell-shaped blossoms are sent
up to London every year.
The working classes of Italy are
very poorly fed. The consumption of
meat is very scant except on feast DAYS,
and but little wine is drunk Living is
almost exclusively confined to cereals

and other green herbs, cooked with
bacon The food in general is very de-
ficient in heterogeneous qualities, the bulk
of which is derived from vegeteble
rather than animal food.
M. Leygonie. the Paris commissaire
de police, is having great trouble with a
haunted house on the Boules ward Vol
taire, No. 1913. In this establishment
the beds shake and dance, the tables
kick like mules, and the walls give out
unearthly noises. The policemen are
slapped and slugged by invisible hands,
and altogether the place is just about
as uncomfortable for them as the evil
spirits can make it. The Paris papers
have been giving columns to this house,
and the commissaire is at his wits end

The Chinese government is strictly
opposed to obscene literature A law
was recently promulgated to the follow
ing effect: "All government officials
who allow immoral books to be pub

shall receive 100 blows and be banished
from his place of residence to distance

DAIRY SUGGESTIONS.

CALVES fed milk like drink of water
hot days.
Is THERE any shade in your pasture?
There should be.
PROVIDE a regular supply of salt for
the COWS. Let them help themselves.
IF the cows teats get scratched or
cracked grease them after each milk
ing.
WE believe regular time for milk
ing is more important than a regular
mixer.
REMEMBER that the eye often con-
dennis butter that would be relished if
put up in neat packages.
IF you are patron of cooperative
factory-cheese or butter-insist upon
every patron taking the best care of his
milk.
IF you are selling cream be sure it is
in good order when delivered to the
driver or at the station, then insist upon
full payment for it.
A PIECE of muslin fresh from the bolt
is more attractive over a package of
butter than piece of cloth with one or
two buttonholes in it,
THE early care of the calf has much

pots in summer in the line of flower

Its chief value is the remedy it pro-

by all who know how troublesome
these worms usually are in plunged
pots.

made from block of maple wood six
inches square and twenty-five inches
long. l had mine turned by a cabinet
maker although with considerabl
care, one could be shaved down with
draw knife. The nearer perfectly
round it is the better it will be suited
to its purpose. The tool is completed
by the addition of handle as shown
and this might be from an old spade.

the case of geranium pot plunged in

size that required the dibble to be
thrust into the plunging soil to it's en-
tire length. In putting the pot down
it should be pressed in rather firmly.

The tent had two apartments, and was

teen, with regular features, beautiful
black eyes, and tattooed china most

with deep sash. On her head she
wore dark blue veil, tied with a red

REGARDING ENSILAGE.
A Few Principles Which Should Be Clear
ly Understood by Farmers.

1y Understood by Farmers.
Any crop that is nutritious and valu-
able to feed green is also valuable for
ensilage. The silo cannot add to its
nutritive elements; it only conserves
them. Thus any crop is valuable for
ensilage if it is valuable to feed green.
SO long as any crop is growing or de-
veloping nutritious substances. so long
is it increasing in value 1t is wise
then to leave the crop in the field, un7
cut. so long as either stalk or grain is
increasing in quantity and nutritive
elements. But just as soon as the
plant commences to dry and harden off
that it may keep and not ferment, then
it commences to form indigestible fib-
ers, and then we should step in and by
use of the silo preserve the succul-
ency, which is so appetizing, so diges
tible, so wholesome to our farm stock.
Let us remember that the silo is use
full simply in excluding the air, thus
enabling us to preserve our crops as
we do our fruit. Who of us has not
learned that our beautiful canned fruit
has more than nutrition? 1t fosters
the appetite, stimulates digestion, by
melting a more liberal secretion of the
digesting fluids, and thus is SAVIOR of
health. Just so ensllage adds to the
health. vigor and longevity of our kline

To Make Manure Available.

Ordinary farmyard manure is a very
natural fertilizer, coming as it does
wholly from vegetation, and to return
it to vegetation is very natural proc
ess. To make it as Immediately avail
able, and the plant food contained in
it as readily soluble as these conditions
are found in concentrated fertilizers,
al waste liquids from both the stable
and the house should be turned upon
the solid manure. All tie ups and
horse stalls should be arranged to this
end Throw layer of earth upon it
from time to time while the manure
accumulates. In spring the heaps
should be well forked over. When in
field incorporate it thoroughly with the
soil. If it gets into the ground at just
the right time and in soluble state,
nature will attend to the rest of the
process.-Popnlar Gardening.

two other important gains are secured,
namely: the pot is afforded perfect
drainage. and the trouble of roofing
through the drain hole of the pot is
overcome.
Figure represents the use of the
dibble for a smallersized pot. Coming
to point as it does, the tool can be
used for pots of the smallest size quite
as readily as for larger ones.
In getting ready for plunging pots by
this means, the soil should first be
worked over to a depth equal to the
length of the dibble, otherwise it will be
difficult to thrust it into the earth. In
pressing it down the weight of the
body may be applied through the foot
placed on top of the dibble. This tool
also comes into play at times in trans
planting small shrubs, vines. etc.-C.
