Cbicng0 Fire.

The most remarkable art produc
tion of modern times is said to be
the new Cyclorama Of the Chicago
Fire located on Michigan Avenue,
in that enterprlsing city. The great
work is reported to have cost nearly
a quarter of million of dollars, and
shows in a very realistic and wonder
full manner the great fire Of 1871.
The observer is placed in an ele.
waited position on the site Of old Fort
Dearborn, Immediately south Of the
Rush St. Bridge, and from this his
torio spot views this grand and awe
inspiring scene. To the southwest
lies the business portion Of the city,
a smouldering mass ot red hot ruins.
the great north side is sea of
flames, while along the lake shore
are two or three streets that are
doomed, but not yet destroyed. Civ.
my here glimpse OF the old Chi
cago of ante-fre days. The scene
along the lake shore in and about
the old y. S. Marine Hospital and
the Rush Street Bridge is one OF in
descrlbable ooniusipn-ihousands Of
helpless and homeless IN a wild and
furious eight tor safety. The whole
effect is sublime and awful in the
extreme.
Unusual care was taken tc make
this grand work worthy of the sub
,ect, aud abo,e all, To have it his
;orically correct. Professor David
Swing and other eminent authorities
pronounce the whole faithful por-
travail OF this great historic event. 1t
will remain as one of the sights of
the city until after the Worlds Fair.

green food regularly every day, aud
scalded meal with plenty of meat scraps
stirred in they grow fast. The yards
should be kept as clean as possible, and
the pens for both young and old ducks
should be in a dry place, aud with q
board floor and plenty of straw or other
litter, as damp ground, or being out in
a cold Storm or heavy shower, will
quickly kill young ducklings, at least
until we'll feathered. They should not
be given very cold water to drink, as it
causes cramps, which are sometimes
fatal. They need larger yards or 8
more frequent change of location than
chickens, as filth soon kills them, aud,
in fact, they should not be crowded in
their brooders' pens or yards. Boston

ROTATION IN THE GARDEN.

1t is good thing in the cultivation of
garden not to grow the same vegetables
or plants year after year on the same spot,
nor even two years in succession on the
same. 1t is liable to generate disease
and to exhaust that portion of the soil in
which the plant feeds or to remove the
peculiar elements which it needs. Roots,
deep-feeding and shallo feeding plants
should succeed each other. A strict
system of rotation is always safest.
Where a mixed lot Of vegetables is
grown, the same ground may be worked
for an almost indefinite length Of time
by changing the location of each kind
from year to year. Where cabbages,
caulifowers, radishes, turnips or other
members of this same family were grown
last year plant tomatoes, egg plant, pep
pers, etc., this year, and sweet corn or
vines next, and so ou.-Chicago Times.

BREEDING ANIMALS.

Less Stringent Regulations Made by
Secretary Carlisle.
Secretary Carlisle has issued circular in
regard to the importation Of animals for
breeding purposes, which notifies the exist
ing regulations by making them In some re-
spects less stringent.
The previous requirement of flour top
crosses is reduced to ''three top crosses"
Whenever the required certificates cannot be
furnished at the time of arrival of the ami
mails and the Collector is satisfied from other
evidence that the animals would be entitled
to free entry, they may be SO admitted on
bond for the production of the required Ger =
tificate
A new list of recognized registries has
been promulgated for the guidance of col
lectors of customs.

HOW TO MAKE A HOT BED.

Where the farmer or gardener is too
far removed from business centers to buy
plants cheaply of the seedsmen, hot
bed will be found convenient for starting
many kinds of plants. The first step &c
be taken is getting ready the manure
with which to supply the required bot
tom heat. Fresh horse manure mixed
thoroughly with one-third to one-half its
brlk of leaves, or straw used fox bed
ding, or other manure that has been
heated once, are the materials preferred.
As soon as this compost begins to fer
ment turn it again and let remain until
signs appear of a second fermentation.
Make an excavation about two and
one-half feet deep and Of size to suit
the sash on hand or number of plants re-
CURED. Locate this pit in a dry spot,
facing south or east. One sash will gen
orally give early plants enough for a
large family. The frame for the sash or
sashes may be made OF boards nailed to
small posts at the corners. This frame
ought to be about eighteen inches high
at the back and twelve inches in front,
to give the proper slope to catch the
sunlight. To facilitate the opening and
shutting of the frame, cross-pieces should
be planed for the sash to slide on.
When all is ready tread the manure
down firmly in the pit, to the depth of
two and half feet; put on the sash and
keep the pit closed until the heat rises.
In two or. three days spread on top soil
to a depth Of six or eight inches. In
this seed may be sown in drills, two or
three inches apart, for early tomatoes,
egg plant, cabbage, caulihower, lettuce,
pepper, etc.-New York World.

FEW KEEP GUINEA FOWLS.

The Guinea fowl is one of the most
beautiful specimens of accurate feather
marking known among gallinaceous
fowls. There are two species, the black
and white spotted and the pure white
breed. Few keep guineas, on account
OF their noisy manner, which at times
grows tiresome; yet chicken thieves hold
them as great enemies, as they give an
alarm even at midnight, if strangers come
among them.-New York Independent

TREATMENT OF TOMATO PLANTS.

The succuIent vegetable, the tomato
once despised-is now the subject of
great attention. The following is good
advice in the treatment of the plant: Set
out plants when six inches high and hill
up we'll until the height of foot is
reached. Train the branches apart.
Throw around the plant wood ashes
which will at once act as fertilizer and
poison to bugs and disease. The roots
viii. be thrown out by the billing process
and growth forced. The hill acts as a
good bed for the fruit to rest on and
prevents rot.-American Agrlculturist

RAISING DUCKS FOR MARKET.


When pound of duck can be produced
for six cents and sold for thirty five cents
or more early in the season, there is
money in the business, especially as the
eggs not needed for Matching usually sell
we'll at the same price as hens eggs.
The duck usually lays about $50 eggs in
a year. Those who desire to raise duck
lings for market prefer the Pckin, as
they can be made to grow more rapidly
than any other and are thought to be-
gin laying q little earlier. They are not
as large az some others, the drake weigh
ing eight pounds according to the stand
ard, which requires the same for the
Cayuga, nine pounds for the Rouen and
Aylesbury, and ten pounds for the Mus
covy, which, by the way, is not duck,
as the offspring of cross between it and
other ducks are infertile like the mule
and other hybrids. The duck should be
one pound lighter than the drake. Most
of those who breed ducklings for market
hatch them in the incubator, In order to
get them early enough to bring the high
prices, and then bring them up in the
brooder. It is claimed that larger
percentage of ducks eggs than Of hens
eggs will hatch in the incubator, and
there is but little mortality among them
if they have proper care. Among the
requirements are soft food, and plenty
of water to drink and rinse their bills in,
but it Is not necessary that they should

Tim cAmpbsll's speech.

Congressman Tim Campbell is not great
orator, nor does he lay great claims to states.
manship, but he is popular in his district.
and that Is enough for him. So far as
known he has made just one campaign
speech, and that one still lives in the mem
ories OF his friends. The speech has become
famous. 1t was delivered when Campbell
first launched himself upon the turbulent
sea of national politics by making race
for congress in one Of the Irish districts Of
New York city. An Italian named Rinaldo
was his opponent in the campaign, and
Campbell made speech on the national
and local issues" Here is Tins speech in
full:
There is two bills before the country
tho Mills bill and the Mckinley bill. The
Mills bill is for free trade, with everything
free. The Mckinley bill is for protection,
with nothing free. Do you want every
thing free, or do you want to pay for every
thing?
Having thus disposed of the national
issue, will now devote myself to the local
issue, which is the Dago Rinaldo. He is
from Italy. am from Ireland. Are you
in favor of Italy or Ireland?
Having thus disposed of the local issue,
and thanking you for your attention, Twill
now retire."
