The Irish people are beginning to find out
what has been apparent to many people for
some years. that Parnel has been an agitator
for the benefit of Parnell alone, and that he
is neither able nor wise, while his moral
character is far from pure. He has had
several political reverses, and it will not be
long before he is out of politics and out Of
Ireland 1t is to be hoped he will not come

which it is easily transferred to the

ALL AROUND THE FARM.

IT has been suggested that instead of
storing potatoes in the bins they be
stored in boxes of size that may per-
init of easy handling. They will keep
Just as well, and can be moro convcn-
emily stored.
ONE of the great reforms needed is
that of curing the evil of selling young
calves when only few days old. They
are unfit for food, diminish the supply
of cows and steers, while the milk in
its first stages is ropy and unfit to drink.
POULTRY HOUSES should face to the
south if possible. BE careful about
this when you build your houses, for
remember that sunshine has COM
mercal value, and the pens should
have good supply of this, especially
in winter

ures depends on the labor bestowed
upon it, and the finer the manure the
less labor will lie necessary to haul
and s. Bread it.
The English farmer grows turnips
for sheep and feeds them on the ground,
the sheep eating the turnips without
the necessity of the farmer harvesting
the crop by hand. No labor is required
in feeding the turnips, and the sheep
improve the soil.
In some experiments in feeding the
prize steers it was clearly proven that
corn is not the cheapest food for pro-
ducing beef, but that the best results
were obtained only when a variety of
grain was allowed, with plenty of hay
and good pasturage.
EXPERIENCE on the farm is the best
teacher, but the valuable hints pub
lished are not all theory but the practi'
cal experience of others, which is made
known. The best farmers are those
who read and test the theories and ex.
periments of others.

There is only about pound of lime
in 1000 pounds of grain. It's not sur
prising then that hens lay soft-shelled
eggs when they are fed on nothing but
grain three times day. There is over
5 ounces of lime in 100 pounds of white
clover hay and asi ounces in 100 pounds
of red clover. There is only a small
fraction over pounds in 6 tons of po-
tatoes, but the tops of turnips, beets,
carrots, parsnips, etc, contain fair
proportion. All the grasses are rich in
lime. For laying hens it is necessary
that they should have some variety of
this kind, otherwise you cannot expect
