Incubator Experience.
A Word About Farming.

The Farm, Field and Stockmanpub.
fishes the following experience OF j. b.
Wood with incubators.
see very littlei in print, from those
who are running incubators, inregard
to their experience with the machine.
Is it because they are not very suc-
c%essful, OF is their success so great they
are afraid of too much competition?
Iwant to relate some of the difficult
ties 1 find, and if anybody can give
any pointers to help me any 1 would
be glad to hear from them. l have
been trying artificial incubation this
summer for the first time.
From all the information I could
gather on the merits of incubators the
one l have is as good as any. 1t is easy
to run, even here, where the outside
temperature always cools off in the
night from 20 degrees to 40 degrees. 1
have kept it steady at about 1O3
degrees to 104 degrees with very little
variation. 1t is top heat. The water
in the pans underneath evaporates
readily, yet is always cool.
So far 1 have only been able to
hatch about two-thirds of the fertile
eggs; the others are dead in the shell,
when almost ready to come out anda
few pip and then die. Those that
hatch come out lively and smart.
Now is this the common experience
with incubators or am l or the incu-
bator at fault? There is something
wrong somewhere, for l have set forty
hens with the same kind of eggs, and
when they set steady every fertile egg
has Matched.
Will some one explain the difficulty?
Is a machine that has both top and
bottom heat any better?

have found it to give good results
wherever tried in the garden, but it is
especially valuable on lawns and in
the green house, though for green
houses and pot plants generally it
should be used in connection with a
small amount of potash salt. In the
open field l have used it at the rate of
1000 pounds per acre without any
injury, and this is probably as large q
quantity as could be applied at one
time economically. A much smaller
quantity, from 400 to 600 pounds,
would be enough for an ordinary APP
plication to a lawn or field in grass.
To the lawn it would be well to apply
it several times in the course of the
growing season, and if possible Just
before a rain. Also on garden crops
it should be applied several times at
intervals OF three or four weeks dur
ing the growing season. On plants in
pots l y used it at the rate of one tea
spoonful to five inch pot, applied to
the surface of the soil. The price at
which it is sold at the present time
varies from $40 to SIS per ton f. o. b.

The Woman on Horseback.

Miss Rose Coghlan has given a
black eye to the reformers who have
so long been urging woment to straddle
a horse man-fashion when they ride.
1t will be remembered that last fall
there was considerable agitation over
the subject and number of women
went so far as to adopt the divided
skirt habits and actually rode man.
fashion in the park. Miss Coghlan
had a very ugly fall while riding in
this style at Fort Hamilton recently,
and her experience should be needed.
She had been practicing for several
weeks, but had absolutely no control
over her horse when he began to rear.
She is one of the most expert and self
reliant horsewomen in New York, and
for years she has ridden ahorse in the
park that required the most skillful
handling. She never ran to hacks.
She found that with q double pommel
side saddle she was as secure on a
horses back as in q rocking chair,
while when astride q horse she was en-
tirely helpless. If such an accident as
this can happen to a fearless, athletic
and experienced rider like Miss Cogh-
Ian, imagine the results of a general
adoption OF this style OF riding by the
decidedly unskillful horsewoman in
Central park.

Correct Street Dress.

E. A. Redfern, famous for his tailor
made gowns gives the following as his
idea OF a satisfactory correct dress"
for the street: ga riding habit, with
the skirt cut to reach the ankles all
way round, would be q capital dress
for q woman whose occupation makes
1t necessary for her to be out a good
deal. The skirt might be made with
more fullness than the habit skirt and
with some slight ornamentation in
the way OF braiding, and yet be light
in weight and neat in appearance. A
rubber facing round the bottom ofthe
skirt would protect the ankles from
dampness, and q clever little arrange
ment OF straps and buttons would lift
it high and dry if necessary. These
straps and buttons can be made quite
ornamental. "The habit basque,
though a little masculine in cut, is
close.ftting and, therefore, feminine.
1t can be frightened up, too, in many
ways by having the vest, collar and
cuffs contrast prettily with the rest of
the gown. 1t may have any quantity
OF pockets, inside and outside pockets,
hip pockets, little vest pockets-all
may be added, and yet the woman
who wears it will be looked upon and
treated as a woman"

An Indian Question Settled.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 2s.-The commits.
sioner of Indian affairs has received q
copy of the recent opinion by Judge
Green. of the district court of the terri
tory of Oklahoma. restoring to his par

government school at Chicago by In.
dian Office officials. The father Of the
boy began habeas corpus proceedings to
secure possession of his son who, under

Indian officials had not is
sued, as required by the rules

provided for them. The retention of
the boy contrary to the will of his par

cision is regarded by the commissioner
of Indian atfairs as likely to prove preju.
dicial to the schools. and it is the iuteu.

The Judge in his examination took the

The Unique Curiosity Recently

The Unique Curiosity Recently
Found In Indian Territory.
There was recently taken from a
small creek near stringtown, L. T., a
genuine curiosity in the shape of a
petriied horse, which had, beyond
doubt, been lying in the bed Of the
stream for many years. The creek,
which is known us Masonic ford, has
been dwindling away for some time,
owing to the failure of the springs by
whey it is fed and is now but a shall
low %rivulet, and a number of Indian
relics, human bones, etc., have been
taken from it's bed.
The horse was nearly covered by a
deposit of sand and loose limestone
and vas discovered only by chance,
some boys wading in the creek catch
ing sight ola portion of one leg. Ex-
amining this, it was found to have
turned entirely into stone, which led
to the whole being dug out and carried
to shore. The horse, a large, white
one, seems to bethe work of cunning
sculptor, so completely has the petri-
fication been, even the hairs OF the
name and tail being converted into
stone.
In the neck and piercing one of the
largest veins is an arrow, in all prob
ability the cause of its death, and
which probably struck it as it stood
on the banks of the creek, into which
it rolled in it's death agony. It's sides
still show the marks OF q saddle, and
its TANKS are cut as by spurs used
with desperation, but no brand or
other mark gives a clew to its rider.
In removing it from the stream one
hoof was unfortunately broken of,
but with this exception it is perfect.
1t is now on exhibition in Stringtown,
but is shortly to be presented to the
Smithsonian Institution, though
several agents for dime museums have
endeavored osecure it for their enter.

usual warm dish. Prepare as follows:
Cook one cupful of fine oatmeal and
one teasponful of salt in four teacup-

Cleanliness for Sheen.

Be careful about the sheep pens dur
ing warm weather. 1t is necessary to
have pens into which they may go for
shelter during storms, but they should
not be housed in these at night unless
they r dry and well ventilated.
Nothing is worse for sheep, more
quickly inducing disease, than over.
warm pens, which of necessity become
damp and foul. Cleanliness is perhaps
more essential for sheep than for any

that sheep Ire undoubtedly the best

Ladies Who Smoke.

If women smoke much nowadays,
says the Tribune de Geneve. they can
at least plead that the example is set
in high circles. The Empress of Aus
tria smokes thirty to forty Turkish
cigarettes every day. On her writing
table there is a silver box with fnere-
lief work filled with cigarettes, and a
gold ash tray. The Czarina also
yields to the passion for nicotine, but
she only smokes in her boudoir, g.
copy of one of the prettiest rooms IN
the Alhambra, filled with palm trees.
Her axieties may plead her excuse;but
Queen Marguerite of Italy, whose life
is freer from care, smokes al
SO, and smokes much, but
always in solitude. The Queen Regent
OF Spain consumes Egyptian cigaret-
ties in large quantities. Queen Nathalie
of Servia has a a wonderful store of
cigarettes of every kind, the Queen OF
Roumania carries a little golden box
filled with the same means of delight,
while the Comtesse de Paris appre-
ciates only the tobacco of Havana,
and her daughter, the Queen of Portu-
gal, gets her cigarettes from Dresden.

A Novel Corn Tie.

A writer in the Ohio Practical
Farmer says: For several years we
have been using the blades of the
common cat tail (Typha latifolia) for
tying corn-fodder. The blades should
be cut before frost and in time that
they may cure partly before they
need to be used. If they are too dry
and brittle, dampen the bundle as
you would rye straw. A grass sickle
is very good for cutting them. We
think them better than straw, being
much stronger, nicer to handle, and if
cared for, will last for a number of
years. II this plant is growing near
you it might be we'll to try it. Or if it
is not handy it would, l think, be
profitable to start it. It will thrive
in a rich black soil if there is q
constant supply of water. 1t will
produce more bands on any area and
does not need to be cared for as rye.
