Green Food for Poultry.

Cabbages, Swede turnips or common
white turnips, long or round, sugar
beets, ETC., may commonly be purchased
of farmers-supposing, good reader, that
you do not raise your own.
These articles may be stored in q mod
erately cool but dry cellar to advan,
tage, simply being kept from freezing
and they will be found very handy in
winter. Poultry confined in close runs
and houses four or five months during ouI
cold northern winters require good artif
cial feeding in variety to make them lay
at all during the frigid term, or to incite
them to commence their work early in
the spring. The provision of green food
and cooked vegetables, mixed with Their
meal and grain at this period, is a grand
need that must not be lost sight OF
where the poulterer would do his stock
justice, and at the same time make the
most out of their product, seasonably.-

Hclpful Hints.

The Philadelphia Farm Journal drops
these hints:
Scorch corn on the cob till it forms a
charcoal. Then feed it to the chickens
once or twice week.
The tool room should have an open
pan Of crude petroleum in it. Hoes, ETC.,
to be put up for the winter may be
quickly dipped and drained. A sponge
will cover plows, mower, etc, instantly,
Put away bright, under oil, they will be
ready for action whenever needed.
Sweep out the wagon house whenever
dirt has accumulated on the floor
Choose a time when the best carriage
is out and then the dust will not settle
on it. To prevent clouds of dust, strew
the floor with moist earth or dampened
sawdust.
1t is sometimes recommended to put a
lamp in the cellar when the temperature
is getting near the danger point A pot
of live Goals covered with sheet iron OF
skillet is better. 1t makes more heat
and is not unsafe. The lamp may ex,
plode or be knocked over.

rNponsEs THE spRINarR BILL.

The American Wool and Cotton Re-
porter of Boston prints a petition to
Congress by leading wool manufactur-
ers representing the Wool Consumers
Association in support of the Springer
bill. They say:
"I'he wool schedule of the tariff act
of 1890 offers an exceptional opportun-
ity, by amendments making wool free
and relatively decreasing both the spe-
cilic and ad valorem duties on w0olen
goods, to benefit Immensely the woolen
manufacturers by giving them free
access TO the supplies of wool of vari-
GUS qualities such as all other cOmpet-
ing manufacturing countries enjoy and
by reducing thus withoutinjury to man
ufacturers the cost of their goods to
them and to the consumers, while leav-
ing sufficient protection. With free
raw materials the tax on imports of
competing goods would be almost en-
tirely for protection of labor, and
as free raw materials would
greatly increase the consump-
tion there would be an increased
demand for labor. High duties for a
quarter of q century have failed to pro.
ouce an adequate supply of wools need.
ed for the woolen and w0rsted manu-
facture. And as wool can be made
free with large reduction in the cost
of goods and with very little disturb
ance of trade, or of interference with
sufficient protection, it is only reason
able that the changes suggested in
schedule X OF the act of 1890 should be
made for the benefit of the whole peo-
pie"
Will some one tell us what is wrong
with the logic of the above. / is also
excellent reading for farmers.

CHANGED HIS MIND.

He Wanted to BE Reporter, but
Thought Better of II.
He walked into the city editors room
and carefully removed his hat.
"Have the honor Of addressing Mr..
Hottemper?' he inquired lispipgly.
That dignitary looked up with start
and took in the questioner with aglance.
"Yep," he responded. "What can
do for your"
I-aw-would like to tender my ap-
plication for position on your repor-
torial staff"
"Why don't you, them
The applicant blushed painfully and
shifted from one foot to the other in very
evident embarrassment. Then he put his
hat ON q chair, sat down on it, jumped
up, blushed again and was worse off than
before. The city editor finally took pity
on him and said:
oval, what can you do? Had any ex-
perience in the newspaper business"
MOO" said the applicant hesitat-
ingly.
"You think you would make re-
porterT'
Eyes, sir" said the applicant more
cheerfully.
"Think you could stand on a corner
with the thermometer forty below wait
ing to interview man who won't stop
to listen to You when you do catch
him?"
"Ye-es, SIR"
"Then when you are walking so fast
that the people can hear Jon breathe for
four blocks, think you can remember
enough of his tail: to make column of
solid nonpareil"
"J-l-might."
"And then when he comes around in
the morning, says he's been misquoted,
slandered, and that he'll haye your
hearts blood, do you think you Would be
able to convince him between whacks
that it's all right"
"Do-do-reporters have to do thatT'
Just then Patsy Poundim, the cele-
brated pugilist, who had had battle the
night before and was literal mass of
bruises, walked into the room. The city
editor tipped him the wink, and pointing
to him, said 10 the applicant:
"You can see for yourself. He inter-
viewed old Moneybags yesterday, and
old Moneybags interviewed him today.
The applicant rose slowly from his
seat and felt for his hat, eying Patsy
Poundim in the meantime.
81 guess I'll go" he said softly.
Don't hurry yourself" said the city
editor. 81 think we might give you a
trial. You look healthy and might sur,
vive several years. Besides, we want a
good man to go up in balloon with
Highhyer tomorrow and describe the
| sensations Of jumping from an elevation
of 5000 feet in a parachute. How is
your descriptive power?"
But the applicant had already reached
the door, and without even a good day
vanished. And the city editor took NJ
his work where he had left off.-St

THE RELIEF CORPS A HELPER.

Members of Canton Post have been
looking up the law relative to Corps
charter and find in the cases of charter
lifting, cited In the Red Book, adopted
at the Detroit National Convention of
1891, several that bear upon their own
case.
In the proceedings of conventions,
State and National, 1t further appears
that the action In the cases cited is in
the line of Relief Corps rule and prece-
dent. This is that Relief Corps
must be helper, not hindrance TO
the Grand Army, and when in any case
it has brought dissension into the
Grand Army it must be disbanded.
For this reason the Springfield, o., Post,
demanded the revocation of charter.
The charter was taken and the Corps
members fomenting strife were set OUT.
Then, after few months, the Post got
up its own list of women, able to get on
without quarrelliDg, and since have a
peaceable working Corps.
In another case Post requested the
surrender of the charter of Corps, CIV
ing as the reason for such request that
the Corps was of no assistance to the
Post, that it was bringing trouble, dis
satisfaction and disgrace unto their
ranks, and under the circumstances
felt that it would be for the best inter-
ests of the Post to have the charter re-
voked. After careful investigation
of committee appointed by the De-
partment President, and believing that
peace and harmony could not be re-
stored in the Corps, neither between
the Post and Corps, the Department
President recalled the charter of the
Corps. The Corps at once appealed
from the decision of Department Pres
ident to National President, who de-
cided as follows: That where discord
and discussions prevail in a Corps and
the aims aud objects of the organiza.
tion are ignored and where trouble and
dissatisfaction is brought into the
Post by members of Corps, and are in
no way of assistance to the Grand
Army, charter should be revoked.
(See page 80, Red Book.l
Again we quote from the Red Book
"The disbanding of a Corps at the
request of Post to which it is auxil-
iary is a serious matter. My observa-
tion justities me in saying that it Is
oftener the fault of the Corps than 1t is
of the Post when Department Presi-
dent is asked to revoke Corps charter.
The trouble usually begins by officers
or members violating their obligation
of secrecy, or in ambition for office
and too often degenerates into personal
chickering's unworthy of women conse-
Grated to such cause. Every COM
rade should be made to feel that the
one object of the Woman's Relief Corps
Is To help the Grand Army of the Re
public and bring comfort and cheer
into the homes Of needy old soldiers
and to their widows and orphans.
A Corps that spends its precious time
in pickering and gossip, instead of
doing the work which they obligated
themse,ve to do, ,ought to be diSbQRded." !"

An Invitation.

On one occasion in the old French
war, the English, aided by colonial mi
Htia, were besieging n French fort some
where in or near Canada. In front was
a space Of the forest leveled by a tor
nado, and beneath the fallen trunks the
besiegers sought shelter from the sharp
fire of the fort--all save one man. Like
another Ethan Allen, he stood upon a
tree elevated above the rest, returning
the enemys fire. His companions below
hailed him to know if he had any bullets
to spare, as they We're out. The reply
was, Hang you, come up here; you can
catch a handful a minuter-Argonaut.

meantime Foraker is on the war path
