At this season many farmers neglect salt
ing COWS, thinking they need salt less than
when at pasture. There is not a week when
cattle will not eat some salt ii they can get
it, and if they have a supply before them all
the time they will be less likely to take too
much.
In Europe, where the horse is every year
more used as human food, the animals are
not allowed to become a mass OF skin and
jagged bones. a. old horses often do here
They are tattened, and even an old horse
can be made quite fat IL given succulept
food mixed with ground grain. IL is no
more difficult to fatten an old horse than 1t
Is TO fasten an old COW.
Il is undoubtedly the fact that more dis
appointments occur to growers OF ounces
than TO growers OF almost any other hind OF
hardy fruit. The trees often are ktllei out
right by severe winters in exposed localities
II not killed the trees are uuproduc i've.
Quihce trees require rich, deep soil, keep
moist enough through the winter so that it
does not freeze deeply. Dressings OF wood
ashes are especially beneficial to ounce
trees. Ashes not only mineral fertilizer the
tree needs to perfect it's fruit. but they also
help to keep the soil moist aud open for the
reception OF rains.
The farm barns ought 10 be convenient to
the house, but not too near. IL one or the
other burns there ought not TO be any neces-
sity for both to go. 1t is hard getting a
valid insurance for barns or houses near
each other except at exorbitaut rates. TIE
insurance companies are in the right about
this. The convenience sought should be by
good walks, not by dangerous nesrness.
The oat crop is too often reserved for the
poorest land, Is poorly put in the ground,
and under such circumstance often pays
less profit than any other. The fact that r
does not need spring blowing should not be
an excuse for shirking work that Is peces-
gary. II the extra cost of blowing Is saved
put this saving into the crop in the shape OF
dressing Of mineral fertilizer. IL pays on
oats better than on almost any other crop.
because usually the price of oats per pound
Is higher than that Of any other grain.
Horses hard at work. especially If quick
motion lie desired, should not be fed mainly
on hay. Ii is too bulky Ia proportion TO
nusritive value, and with most kinds OF hay
the nutrition is not OF the right sort II
produces warmth rather than muscle and
strength. Good clover hay is more strength
giving than most other hays, but IL TOO
palatabe 70 be fed all horses will eat. They
gorge themselves so that the digestive
organs require most Of the animal energy
With partly grain ration, less work Is put
upon the digestive apparatus, aud what
strength is thus saved is worth more for
other parts Of the system. H

An examination Of the association records
shows that the largest amount of plant food

which yielded over l0,000,00O pounds of

Surprising that the entire nitrogen aud

New York city is soon to have con-
vention hall that will seat II ,000 people,
and as a novelty in architecture it is to
be built, so to speak, inside Of an already
completed building. This is known as
the Industrial building, and occupies
the block on the west side of Lexington
avenne, between Forty-third and Forty
fourth streets, having a frontage Of 200
feet and a depth of 2,5 feet. and being
six stories i'll height.
In this is the great assembly hall, with
its floor on the second story, and thence
it is open to the roof. 1t is without
posts or pillars, though so feet wide and
200 feet long. and the roof of glass and
iron is carried upon iron girders. All
around this hall are lavatories, private
rooms and offices, reception rooms. res

auditorium, SO the lighting and ventila-

The building is entirely Of brick, iron
and other solid materials. and is pro-

Ia it are $50, 600 square feet of flooring,
and nearly seven miles of 5-inch steam
piping, with passenger and freight ele-

One special feature Of construction is
in making the reception hall the local
point of the building. On the third floor
will be rooms for the ladies' auxiliary,
board of managers, boys work, large
dining hall and kitchen. The building
will be heated by steam, lighted by elec-
tricity, and the light and ventilation are
exceptionally good. There is complete

The beautiful building at Detroit was
completed considerably earlier than that

The total cost of building and lot was
almost $3.50, 1000, and at the dedication

building was entirely free of debt. Be-
sides the usual reading, reception and

THE GERMANTOWN BUILDING.

These are the Young Mems Christian
association and the Young Nomen's
Christian association. In the United
States the former dates back only to
1851 and the latter to 1866 yet the two
now have membership of 100000, To-
Gated in 1900 towns and cities, own
property worth over Sl0,000.000. and
have done an amount of good almost in
calculable Oh any mathematical basis.
Although, as just noted, the first y.
NJ. {. A. society was formed in 1851, the
first building owned by the association
was not erected until 1867, and with that
initial experiment in property holding
came disaster. The block was situated
on one Of Chicagos principal streets, and
was known as Farwell hall, because the
eminent merchant and philanthropist,
John V. Farwell, had contributed 500, 900
toward the expenses. The hall was dedi-
Gated Sept. %, 1861, aud was destroyed
by fire Jan. :, 1865. 1t was promptly re-
built. and lasted until Oct. Q. 1871. when
the great contlagration made nearly the
whole city Il desert of smoke and ashes.
Nov 2G, 1874. the third and still intact
structure was consecrated TO the pur-
poses of the organization.
And what are those purposes: Well,
they include almost every plan for phys
ical, mental and moral culture. One
doesn't have to he church ncnher in
order to belong to the y. NJ. &. \. He
pays fee large enough to preserve his
self respect and still so small that it is
but little strain upon his purse. Then
he has the freedom of the gymnasium,
Of the library, of the bathrooms and re
duced rates for admission to the lecture
hall entertainments. He may join in
the regular religious meetings if he
chooses; if not, he may stay away with
out causing comment. The plan seems
to be to provide places where young men
and old ones. too. for that matter
may spend otherwise lonesome hours
in a healthful, wholesome way. They
can exercise, they can read. or they can
get spiritual n medical advice If they
want it.

He Explains the Process of Extracting
Information from Prominent People.
The interviewer himself has been
tracked down and subjected to the
pumping process he is so fond of inf1ict-
ing on others. Some persons, he says, it
is impossible to get at. AT the head of
these was Lord Tennyson. He never
was interviewed in the legitimate sense
of the term, although conversation
with him was once published by an
American, at which the venerable poet
was exceedingly angry. Mr.. Ruskin
has also decided objection to inter-
viewers in general. AS rule novelists
are the best men to interview. They
seem to have the whole plot of their
confessions settled beforehand. Actors
are fairly good, and ladies are very diff
icult to deal with.
interviewing actors invariably yields
good crop Of anecdotal matter, al
though, sad to relate. in many instances
the interviewer has had the same story
told to him as personal reminiscence by
half dozen different individuals. Nor
does the deceit of some members of the
profession end there. One well known
actor, who is regarded as a great lady
killer, made very elaborate preparations
for the interviewer's reception. The
dressing room was crammed with flow
ers, bonbons and little knickknacks
tastefully displayed. Little presents
from ladies' said the actor. At the end
of the week the interviewer dropped in
on the same actor unexpectedly, when
not vestige Of flower, bonbon or
knickknack met his eye.
