"sPLENDD GARDEN.

My garden is ten rods long and eight
wide, writes correspondent. l plow
assoon in spring as it gets dry enough to
work well. While plowing call all my
hens in, say $50, to pick up the worms
they have feast. The next day harrow
fine, and plant and do all / can to keep
the hens at work to get rid of worms. l
then sow all small seeds in rows the
whole length of garden, as straight as a
line can be drawn, twenty eight inches
apart, raking wide enough for one row,
and draw line and mark with end of hoe
handle close to line about an inch deep.
Then sow the seeds, such as beets, let
tuce, onions, cabbage, carrots, spinach,
parsnips, tomatoes, etc.; remove the
line and pat the dirt on the seeds with
the back of the rake, so as to cover
the seeds about half an inch
deep, and they always grow.
Next, / rake enough for another row and
sow, and so ON until all the small seed
are sown. plant two rows of English
multiplier onions-one row of large and
one of small-in the same way, only use

they must be planted deeper, and a
couple of rows of peas foot apart; cover
as before with back of rake, and pat the
soil firm; they are sure to grow. Treat
cucumbers, squash, beans, etc., the same,
only farther apart; potatoes, three feet; ;
corn q feet. The whole garden is
planted in rows lengthwise. 1t is a great
pleasure to run good cultivator up and
down between the rows and see the weeds
turn up their toes and die. Try this plan,
dear reader. / let hens roam over my
garden all they wish, and somehow they
don't scratch up anything, perhaps be-
cause l feed them every day and have no
dog. 1t may be they don't know where
the seeds are. One thing 1 know, all

q. Is Alabastine expensive2
A. No, it is the cheapest article for the pur-
pose on the market.
Q. How is thnt2 Cannot purchase kalso-
mines at a few cents per poundf
A. Yes, kalsomines can be purchased at
almost any price.
q, why then is Alabastine less expensive7
A, In the first place package Of Alabastine,
costing a few cents more will cover double the
surface that package Of kalsomine will.
@, What other advantage has Alabastine
that kalsomines do not possess2
A. Alabastine is entirely different from all
kalsomines. It is manufactured from base In
Itself cement, and when applied TO a wall sets
hard.
O. How do kalsomlnes differ from this
A. kalsOmines are made from whiting, Clays,
chalks or some inert powder for base and are
entirely dependent on animal glue 10 hold them
ON the wall.
q. What are the resultsl ~
A. In one case the Alabastine being HuefBcnt
hardens with age, and the kalsomineS as soon
as the glue, which constitutes Its binding
quality, decays, rubs and scales of rs it has
nothing to hold IL on the wall.
q. Does Alabastine require washing and
scraping off before recOating2
a, No, Alabastine when once applied to q
clean surface can be reCuated for any length of
time without having to wash or scrape the
walls.
q. Does this feature count for much'
a. Ask any practical housekeeper, who has
been driven from home 20 have walls washed
and soraped, whether 1t will be desirable to
have all Of this overcome, and walls improved
instead Of spotted by coating them.
q. How can get Alabastine2
A. From your local paint dealer. IL he does
not keep it In stock, and tries to sell you some
Alabastine, and If he will not keep il you viii
get it elsewhere.

LET IT RUST OUT.

The quickest way to get rid Of a costly
moving machine, hay rake, or even corn
cultivator, is to store it in the corner of
the fence, with rain. clouds for cover
ing. Farmers who cannot properly house
their implements should not have any,
and nature takes the shortest method Of
depriving them of their aids to crop
growing. If too lazy to build shed,
the next best thing is to let some one
else run the farm, and, as hired man,
one can be forced to do for others what
might have been done for ones self.
Too many farmers rust out, along with
the machinery that stood like scarecrows
through the long winters.-American

FOWLS EATING FEATHERS

Every case of depraved appetite in an
animal is due to some craving induced
by want of sufficient variety of food.
Fowls must necessarily be supplied with
large quantity of nitrogenous matter
and some sulphur to provide the mate
rials for their feathers aud eggs, which
contain large proportion of these sub.
stances. If this nutriment is not sup
piled the birds are uneasy and the health
will fail, until they cannot produce the
plumage or the eggs. Both of these
necessary elements Of nutrition are sup
pied by flesh meat, and hence fowls are
instinctlvely consumers of small animals
and insects. When they cannot pro.
cure a supply of these they must be
furnished with substitute. In practice
it is found that fowls that have regular
supply of animal matter do not exhibit
this habit of eating feathers or eggs. If
regular feeding of fresh bones with
meat on them and finely broken is given
from the beginning of winter there will
be no trouble in this direction. The
habit is more easily prevented than
cured. New York Times.

CARDINAL MANNING AND THE LIQUOR QUESTION

CARDINAL MANNING AND THE LIQUOR QUESTION.
The best efforts and the last few years Of
Cardinal Mannings life were scent in the in
terests OF the poor of London, and 1t was while
working for them and endeavorlng TO rescue
them from the extreme poverty which sur
rounded them that he saw that the first great
evil he had to overcome was the drink habit
Among all the squalid dens of vice and misery
OF Ratcliffe highway, down among the yiie
haunts OF crime and dissip alton OF decsyed
old stairs, in the rank and fetid atmosphere
of st. Giles, where the rays of the sun scarce
penetrate, and where the nights were made
hideous with blasphemy and cursing, and the
gan palace loomed with a brllliance and lustre
that made the miserable surroundings ali the
more pitiable by the contrast, he was not
afraid TO penetrate. Side by side with the
gin palace hang the three brass balls the
pawnbroker's sign, the symbol of penury and
want, the trade mark of the human vulture
that deals in the life blood of his fellow beings
1t was in these dark, vile haunts of sin and
shame that Cardinal Manning frat commenced
ms temperance crusade. 1t was here that
the League OF the Cross, the strongest and
grandest temperance organization the world
has ever seen, and of which he was the foun-
tam head, waged pitiess warfare on the
liquor traffic, and although thousands have
been rescued from the dread embrace of that
modern Moloch OF iniquity that was grinding
them IN the dust, and have sought service
under the banner which rescued them, the
dread fight still goes on aud will continue un-
I'll the authorities destroy forever these cess
pools OF iniquity and vice.
Writing OF his temperance work reminds me
OF how he came to take the pledge. for al
though preaching total abstinence he was not
total abstainer himself until some time after
he had identified himself with the temperance
movement. 1t was at meeting Of some school
children whom he was going TO enroll nnder
ths temperance banner, and after speaking TO
them Of hp NJ ba driY. hah
force OF good example, he said: 'Now, let us
all kneel down and take the pledge" The
children knelt down, the cardinal among them,
and repeated the pledge after him, and when
they got up little girl who was nearest the
cardinal, IN that precocious manner peculiar to
children, said TO him: snow we are all temper
ance, just like you" His Eminence often used
to speak of this, how he had come to take the
pledge unintentionally, and he said having
taken 1t surrounded by children whose souls
were unstained by sin, it made his pledge
doubly binding, and he would keep it until the
day OF his death.-Sac'ed Heart ReUie1.

A Promising Situation.
(New York DAILY Investigator.l


Good judges say that one of the next To-
calities to achieve distinction by Jumping
from substantial town to a thriving me
tropols in few years will be the city of
Superior, Wisconsin, and this too, with
out the effort and struggle through which
inferior towns have passel while ef-
fecting the same result. Until a year
or two ago the average man did not stop to
think that Superior as a monopolst of the
water and rail termini at one end of the
lakes is in the same position as Buffalo at
the other end. Figures are uninteresting
unless given briefly, but comparisons
are always important. This little Su-
perior, credited by its last census with
only $4,000 people, handled more
coal last year than did Chicago; of grain
il shipped nineteen million bushels, of flour
sixteen hundred thousand barrels, of wool
four million pounds, and of merchandise
to the value of thirteen million dollars.
OF all lake cities this business was
second only to Chicago in magnitude.
There is an economical reason for this
condition of things. 1t is that the rail
rate on freight sent west of Lake Michi-
gan is one cent per ton per mile, while
the water rate is one-tenth of one cent per
ton per mile This position at the ex-
treme western end Of Lake Superior is
what gives the city of Superior its prestige,
and is making it grow faster than
Chicago ever did. Besides one hundred and
one smaller industrial concerns, Superior has
located twenty-eight large manufacturing
enterprises in the past eighteen months, in
Guiding the American Steel Barge Com
pany, the builders of the famous
"whaleback" vessel, which is revo-
lutionizing the lake and ocean freight
carrying trade. The twenty-eight institu-
tions above mentioned include iron and steel
plants, -four mills, stove foundres, wagon
factories, pump makers, ship builders and
saw and shingle mills. The most conser-
vative business men in the Northwest
believe that Superior will grow faster
in the next ten years than any
other city in that prosperous section of the
country, and many of them claim that
Chicago, st. Paul, Minneapolis and Mil
waukee have never seen the rapid growth
that will come TO the head of the great chain
of lakes and the city of Superior.
