whithwash the Henhouse.

Without free use of whitewash no
poultry breeder can expect to keep his
fowls healthy for any length of time,
and to a neglect of this can be attributed
many of the disappointment and much
of the loss experienced by amateurs,
who do not realize until they have paid
dearly for the experience that cleanli-
ness is one of the first principles of sue
cess in poultry keeping, and that lime,
in different forms, is an Invaluable agent
in promoting cleanliness in poultry
houses and among fowls.
Where it can be done without too much
expense, we would advise persons, in
building their poultry houses, to use
planned boards-at least planned on the in
side-in preference to rough ones, for it
is far easier to keep the fowlhouse clean
when smooth boards are used. while the
lice and other vermin cannot SO readily
find a lodging place. AS preventive is
much cheaper and better than a cure,
we world advise those who build poul-
try house to give it a thorough white
washing both inside and out before the
fowls are let inside. To make the white
wash still more distasteful to the YER
min which have such a taste for poul-
try, mix "a small quantity of carbolic
acid with the wash, stir it well till it
dissolves and then apply. 1t is not inju-
rious to the fowls. but it is to the vermin,
and at the same time is deodorizer and
disinfectant.-Car Farmer.

A Great mistake in Rape Seed.

Professor Craig relates how an exceed,
tngly annoying and costly mistake was
made by an English firm of seedsmen in
filing orders from this country for seed
Of fodder rape with the seed of the COM
mon bird rape. Professor Craig init
mates that most of the seed sent out to
farmers by seedsmen has been from this
importation Of bird rape seed, and it is
to be feared that nearly all who have
made a trial of rape this year will have
their trouble for nothing.
Professor Craig states the difference
between the two kinds of rape, which is
that the bird seed plant blossoms while
the other does not the first year. Before
he left Madison about the 25th inst. }
some of the rape on the college farm had
revealed its character by its blossom
and was promptly plowed under, and
this course Professor Craig recommends
with all fields of rape which are in
bloom. The error is particularly exas-
perating and may set back many years
the introduction of this valuable fodder
plant. -Breeder's Gazette.

DETECTIVE NOVELS.
They Seem to be Having a Great
Vogue at Present.

How One American Writer Was Almost
Forced Into That Line of Work-The
English Author, Conan Doyle. and His
Peculiar Methods.
From Jack Sheppard to Jesse James
the daring criminal who operates on
large scale has been favorite on the
stage and in fiction. Next to him in
popular interest, possibly before him, is
the great detective; and it is no small
evidence Of the advance of sound ideas
among the uneducated that even in the
cheapest popular resorts the detective is
gaining and the outlaw losing favor.
From Jonathan Wild to Allan Pinker-
ton, from Vidocq to Inspector Bucketts
(whose real name was Tuckett), the &C
tual man has been so lost in the stage
hero and character in fiction that most
people do not even know there was
real man.
Nor is the popular taste satiated. In
truth it is but whetted by what has been
given it, and it is as certain as any
thing in literature that a really well
written detective story would find
publisher at once, and make money for

Agriculture in Russia.

The predominating trait Of rulers from
Caesar downward is an invincible hypo.
crisy. People of education and expert
ence are invited to occupy themselves
with agriculture, but they are we'll
aware that no sooner have they arrived
and settled down than they will be un
mercifully expelled again. The Jews
are blamed for avoiding agriculture, and
are accused of not wishing to live by the
sweat of their brow, yet they are forbid
den to colonize without the pale or to
own property.
The Jew might turn on his perse
cutors and say to them: "You condemn
me for not taking kindly to farming
while you yourselves, pharisees that
you are, have reduced your farms to the
last stage of impoverishment. God be
praised, we Jews have had no part in
it; but to envy you or to wish to be in
your position is more than can be ex-
pected of US"
All this talk of agriculture is mere
clumsy hypocrisy. The peasants fly
from the land, happy, indeed, to find
some other occupation. Others are not
permitted to take their place; those vie
have the right are too ignorant to do
anything, and the result is chaos

meeting of the citizens should follow
during the day, when the best orators
of the locality. and the most elo-
quent of the declaimers among the
children-say one from each school
might deliver addresses appropriate to
the occasion. The topics of these
speeches will readily suggest them
selves, but it must be borne in mind
that anything relating to Columbus will
be more interesting than anything else
on such an occasion. The flag salute,
the ode and the patriotic songs should
be executed by the children without
hitch, and for this reason great deal
of preliminary work will have to be
done by them.
Upon the school teachers will devolve
the greatest portion of this labor. Each
teacher should at once, if it has not al
ready been done, present the matter of
the celebration of Columbus Day to
his pupils, and it should be laid before
the young people in such a manner that
each will be anxious to contribute as
much as possible to the success of the
affair. Enthusiasm is what is wanted
and needed, for without it failure must
result. Let each teacher select commit
tees on reception, on decorations, on ex-
ercises, on printing, on newspapers, on
arrangements and on finance. The
principal must be actually if not NOM
inally the directing spirit of each COM
mittee.
At the morning exercises at the schools
the veterans should have charge of the
flag and should also act as guards of
honor to the schools on the march to the
reviewing stand. The peculiar appropri-
ateness of the veterans being the special
patrons of the school celebration is ap-
parent. Money and the active co-opera-
ton of the citizens at large are absolute
ly necessary to the success of the cele-
bration, and these should and probably
will be promptly forthcoming.
Only the general outlines of exercises
suggested in the official programme are
here given. These may be enlarged or
contracted to conform to the wishes and
possibilities of the celebrants.

The Effects of Diving.

An Australian pearl diver says that
one of the strange effects of diving is
the invariable bad temper felt while
working at the bottom of the sea. As
this usually passes away as soon as the
surface is reached, it is probably due to
the pressure Of the air affecting the
lungs, and through them the brain. The
exhilaration and bonhomie of the noun
tain climber is q contrary feeling from
an opposite cause. A diver becomes SO
angry at some imaginary wrongdoing on
the part of those in the boat above that
he gives the signal to be pulled up
with the intention of knocking the
heads off the entire crew''-only to for
get what he came up for when the sur.
face is reached

Live Stock Poiacs.

The Leghorn is undoubtedly the best
fowl for eggs alone. Another recon-
mendation for it is that it consumes less
food than other breeds of greater size.
Set the children to hunting the nests
and hiding places of the English spar
rows and destroying them. A writer
suggests that they should be killed in
the egg, and that thus they could be
finally rooted out. At any rate every
farmer and live stock raiser ought to
begin to fight the English sparrow as
determinedly as a good housekeeper
fights bedbugs.
When you are exercising your horses
severely by working or driving in cool
weather, blanket them over the chest
and loins in the intervals when they
stand still.
Cold weather is coming. Prepare
plenty of roots and clover hay for your
sheep. They will repay this care in the
spring.
Hogs are SO fond of charcoal-like sub
stances that if they are let into coal
pile they will eat quantities of it.
The live stock shows at the Worlds
fair will take place by installments, in
order that the same animals may not be
kept so long on the ground.
The country roads in France are SO
good that each horse hauls from two to
three tons. The tires OF wagons for
heavy teaming are six inches wide. The
forward axles are shorter than the hind
ones, SO that there is not SO much danger
of ruts from wheel after wheel after
rolling in the same track. If we hal
such country roads here farmers would
not need to keep so many horses.

ANNA KATHERINE GREEN.

the author. A striking instance is that
of Anna Katherine Green. She longed
for place in the higher walks of litera-
ture and especially in poetry. She had
a painful but far from unusual expert
ence in getting polite refusals, and at
last her mother, very practical WON
an, said, 'Why not write story?"
The young lady did not at first like
the idea. Nothing seemed more I'M
likely than that she should deal with
crime, for that seemed to her especial
ly low. Nevertheless the more she
pondered the more she saw that the
public wanted just that. Il conclud-
ed" she says, '.that story Of plot
must involve hidden crime of a stuff
GENTLY serious nature to call for sab
tie evolution as well as complication.
There is no better field for such work
than daily life. 1t was necessary, ow-
ing to the structure of the story, to
call in the aid of a high class detec-
tive. And so my dear old friend, Eben-
ezer Gryce, was created" She decided
that the man who committed the crime
should be the first to announce it, and
that the detective should make a sad
blunder at the start. The rest was mere
detail and so ''The Leavenworth Case
was written.
Her hope was to earn money enough
to publish her poetry and reputation
enough to make her better work, as she
deemed it, sought for by the public.
But her destiny was fixed. She is a
writer of thrilling detective stories, and
as such the world knows her. Her first
was written in the upper room of an old
shoemaker's house in East Haddam.

commemorate the discovery of world
which in the comparatively short time
of four centuries has emerged from the
blackness of the forest and the ignor-
ance of the savage into the blazing sun
of prosperity and the noontide of intelli-
gence?
Now that the official programme for
the uniform popular celebration of CO.
lumbus Day has been published, the
question of the participation by this
community in the national exercises be-
comes live issue.
It goes without saying that the people
of this locality will not be backward in
evidencing their patriotism by an appro-
pirate celebration of the memorable
day, and few suggestions as to the
best method of executing this COM
mendable design may not be amiss at
this time.
In the first place, it should be borne in
mind that it is intended that the school
children should be the principal partici-
pants in the exercises. The pupils are
to be at their places in school at 8
o'clock as usual. 1t is desirable that
business be entirely suspended so that
the relatives Of the pupils may also
be present. Printed programmes should
be provided when possible, and the ex-
ercises will of course be subject to the
limitations of the scholars, but every
thing which may be done should tend
to the central ideas of Columbus
achievement and the remarkable prog
ress of the country under the impetus of
education. Appropriate patriotic deco
rations are necessary, and allegorlcal
tableaux will add greatly to the effect
iveness and enjoyment of the exercises
Music is also desirable.
In the afternoon comes the citizens
celebration, but, as in the morning ex-
ercises, the school children should take
the most prominent part. OF course in
the country districts this will not be the
case. and the afternoon should be de-
voted to games for the young people and
social gatherings for their elders, though
every house should be decorated with
the national colors. In the towns the
afternoon should be devoted to some sort
of formal celebration, in which all OF
the civic and military organizations
should be invited to participate.
A review of school children after they
have reached the reviewing stand and
saluted the flag will add much to the
elite and color Of the scene A mass
