How Carrier Pigeons are Trained.

The training of carrier pigeons is,

loft or dove-cote. In them, love to To-
cality is, perhaps, stronger than in any
other living creature. In every pigeon
house the pairs settle down each in it's
own compartment, and if any other
pigeon attempts to take possession of a.
box already occupied there is stubborn
fight. Carrier pigeons are simply those
in which this love of home is combined
with more than ordinary intelligence
and strength of wing. They carry mes.
sages only in one direction-back home.
If you want to send letter by carrier
pigeon from Little Rock to st. Louise
you must come. ito st. Louis and get
pigeons that have their home here, take
them to Little Rock, tic the letters to-
them and turn them loose. The stronger

or other. Tobacco, cut up in narrow
strips and rolled up with bundles OF
straw, was for years carried across the
Tourney canal bridges on hay wagons
in broad daylight before the douaniers
suspected the trick, though in pursuance
of regulations they had always taken the
precaution Of prodding each load of hay
with long prom ged forks.
A still more ingenious stratagem was
tried in the Ardennes between Philippe
vile and Rocroy. Finding that many
of their matadors were personally known
to the French gendarmes, band of
Belgian smugglers conceived the idea of
training dogsfor the purpose of crossing
the line in moonlight, or even in day
time, during the prevalence of noun
tain fog. With little practice stout
dog could manage to trot and gallop with
lead OF twenty pounds, distributed
evenly in small, pack saddle like bags,
and fastened in the way that in stress of
circumstances the four.f footed messenger
could dash through the tangled under
brush without losing his cargo. Dogs
selected for that sort OF work had ac-
companied their masters on many prev
ious expeditions and came to understand
the danger of the road 50 we'll that
they would now and then retrace their
steps and hide in the thickcts till the
evening twilight enabled them to resume
their journey with better chance of
safety. Frontier guards who had acct
dentally come across these four-legged
contrabandists reported that they would
avoid the public roads as much as posi-

strategic erudition Of our best military
academies would be match against the
tricks of border outlaws, whose skill in
outwitting the vigilance of their adver-
saries has often been perfected by the
constant practice of many years.
The plan Of employing the soldiers of
the regular army in the service of the
Revenue Department was repeatedly
tried by the French Government in the
smuggler districts of the Pyrenees, but
had ut last to be abandoned US u sheer
waste of time and trouble.
In the more dangerous localities line
of picket posts has often been extended
for miles on both sides of the headquar-
ter camp, the interval between the SEN
tries being so close that they could COM
municate without an extraordinary vocal
effort, and in order to test their vigil
ance it had been made rule that the
hours and half hours of the night must
be called out by the corporal of each de-
tachment, and repeated from post to
post all along the line.
About 2:45 A. NJ, in specially dark
night, the sentries near st. Sauveur, in
the Department OF Haute Pyrenees,
shouted out "rhrce o'clock" with dis
tlnctness that awakened hundreds of re-
sponses and brought out half dozen
non-commissioned officers ut double

timely vociferations. Angry discussions
followed, and few minutes later gang

few steps of poor recruit who had
been leprimandcd out of his wits aud
would not have ventured to run the risk
of another false alarm If the whole force
of Don Carlos had passed by with all
their field guns and ammunition wagons.
The smugglers themselves had set the
sentrics a-shouting, for the double
purpose of profting by the ensuing con-
fusion and of asccrtaining the exact
position OF each picket post.

mounted strangers challenged sentry

stands next to clover as green manure
and can be used often when clover
could not.
If grown for grain the crop should be
harvested before hard fros. and the crop
be secured with as little handling rs

very easily, aud the less handling tho
better. For this reason good plan is
to cut and let cure few days and then

UNHEALTHY FRUIT TREES.

air through its pores rs the leaves do,
and this must not be intcrfcred with.
The blossoms on tree are not exhaus-

hot soft soap and water is also good for
messy trees when it is applicable. Tho

RoRsEs SHOULD WEAR LIGHT SHOES.


Horses are commonly made to carry
too heavy shoes, declares Edwin C.
Powell. The shoe is designed merely to
protect the hoof, and the lighter it can
be made and still serve its purpose the
better for the horse. Horses that are de-
voted farm work, and on land where
there are few or no stones, may dispense
with shoes, except while the ground is
frozen. This would be of great advan.
taSo to the horse, to say nothing of the
saving in the horseshoer's bill. But
most horses require shoeing, and the
shoes worn are generally iron ones. Steel
shoes can be made lighter, will wear
longer, and the first cost is not so much
more that it need prevent their being
used. Light horses and driving horses
should always wear them.
For horses of 100 pounds weight
and with well-shaped upright feet, the
fore shoes should weigh about one pound
each, and the hind one twelve ounces.
If four ounces are added to each shoe,
let MS see what a difference it will make.
In blowing, cultivating, moving, reap
ing, and many other farm operations Il
horse will walk from ten to twenty miles
day, and advance about four feet Mt n
step. At each step the horse lifts q half
pound extra on its two feet, or $50
pounds in every mile. In days WORK
OF fifteen miles the horse would lift 5000
pounds extra, or nearly five tons. If the
force required to lift this five tons of
iron could be expended in the work the
horse is doing much more could be ac-
complished in the light of these facts, is
1t any wonder that when young horses
begin to wear shoes they soon grow
weary, have their step shortened, and
acquire slower walking gait2-Chicago
Times.

ROOT PRUNING OF conn.

The claim has been made that cutting
the roots of American corn would cause
many rootlcts to grow, and thereby in
crease the yield. G. e. Morrow and f.
ID. Gardner, at the Illinois station B. 2O)
root pruned three times, from June 18th
to July 10th, every alternate row of
eighteen rows Of corn, two rods long, by
placing around each hill frame twelve
inches square on the outside, and passing
around its outer edge knife gagged to
depth Of four inches. The root pruned
corn yielded 49.4 bushels per acre, and
the unpruned 70. 1 bushels. Experiments
through the last four years show an
average yield for root-pruncd corn OF
G0.5 bushels, while the unpruned yielded
S1.5 bushels. Roots pruned three inches
deep yielded more than those pruncd
four inches. Onc-t third of the corn was
cultivated deep, onc-third shallow, and
onc'third WAS not cultivated, but had
the weeds scraped off. The latter was
most injured by root pruning, and the
deep cultivated least, showing that cul-
tivation is root pruning process. But
experiments through the same four years
showed that shallow cultivated corn
yielded 1873 bushels per acre; the not
cultivated but weed-scraped, 72.9 bush
els; and the deep cultivated, 7O.S. Roo.
pruning was injurious, and shallow cul-
tivatlon did best.-America can Anricul-
