A EuInEInyn Warrior.

There has recently died in London, in
the person of Trumpet Major Henry Joy,
late of the Seventeenth Laneers, another
of the small band Of heroes who took
part in the famous Balaklava charge and
afterward lived to tell the tale. To Joy
belonged the honor of sounding the or
der for the heroic charge. He entered
the army ON May 10, 1888, joining the
Seventeenth LaGcers as boy in the
band, serving in the same regiment 2S
years. He was appointed trumpet major
ON Sept. %, 1917, and was present at the
head of the band at the funeral of the
Iron Duke.
On the outbreak of the Crimean war
he sailed with the regiment for the Black
sea and was present at the battles of the
Alma, Balaklava, Inkerman and Sevasto-
pool. He received testimonial from
General the Earl of Lucan, commanding
the cavalry brigades in the Crimea. in
which it states that Trumpet Major Joy
was his trumpeter on the day of Bala-
klava. In letter from Sire rye Womb
well (who was present at Balaklava),
written only few days ago, occurs the
words, Il heard him (Joy) sound the
order for the Balaklava charge" joys
bugle is in possession of his family at
the present time. AT Balaklava he had
two horses shot under him and came
out of the fight mounted on Russian
horse-Iondou Million

One of the secrets of success on poul-
try farm is to always have something to
sell - broilers, roasters, ducklings or
eggs.
Exclusive broiler plants are growing
less each year, and yet the production Of
broilers is on the increase. The fact has
been clearly demonstrated that general
poultry farm is more remunerative than
one particular branch run alone.
There are no fowls that show to better
advantage on the farm than the Plym
outh Rocks, and they have won q de-
servedly high place both as layers and
for the table.
1t does not pay to doctor very sick
fowls. Use simple remedies in the be-
ginning of the disease. If, however, the
disease has rooted itself, it is generally
advisable to kill the bird and bury its
carcass.
Mr.. James Rankin thinks there is more
money raising roasting fowls than broil-
ers, and so it may be in New England,
but for those who have farms within
easy reach of New York and Philadel-
phia there is no doubt about broilers
paying good wages for the time and
money invested.
The Fanciers' journal calls attention
to the fact that at last the prejudice is
disappearing in the New York market
regarding the color Of the meat of the
fowl when shipped. 1t has always been
necessary to have yellow skinned fowls
and chicks to catch good prices, but
from late reports the New York houses
now call for white meat. When the
change becomes general. there will tn
doubtedly be boom for such breeds as
the Black Langshan.

The syringe and the Pipe.

From western point of view there is
one great drawback to opium smoking
it takes too much time. Western hurry
seems, however. to be gradually per-
meating even the vices of the east, and
now the morphine syringe rivals the OPT
um pipe, if we may believe report
which reaches us from Hong Kong. The
practice has been known for some time
in Shanghai, and some six months ago it
was brought to Hong Kong. where there
are now some 90 houses in which regu-
lar trade in it is openly carried on. Each
house has on an average so clients, who
call in the morning and the evening and
take their doze.
An injection is much cheaper than q
smoke, and primarily, no doubt. that is
the reason of its rapid popularity. Curl
ously enough, the pretense is that it is
used as cure for the vice of opium smok-
ing. to which, howeveo it would seem to
have about the same relation as whisky
bar has TO a beer saloon. The immedi-
ate happiness of an injection. which can
be had without the loss of time, the pub
lie exposure or the loathsome asso<.a-
tions Of the opium den, is far more dan
gerous temptation than the more slowly
acting and more expensive pipe. Truly
in this matter John Chinaman is jump
ing out of the frying pan into the fire.

There is good reason why the oat crop
should be the most exhaustive of any of
the grains. Its leaf is not SO broad as
that of barley or wheat, and it sends its
roots very much farther than does bar
ley at least. Wheat roots reach down
into the subsoil and get moisture. and
probably also some plant food, where the
spring grain would not reach. Dat roots
completely fill the surface soil to the
depth of the blowing. 1t is this which
makes it SO hard to get O good catch of
clover, and this failure to get good
clover growth is usually the reason why
the land is left till another year and
sown with oats again.
American Cultiyator, commenting on
successive oat crops, says that it has
known several cases in which these
were grown for several years, with the
result of so entirely destroying the soils
fertility that the land would scarcely
produce white beans. Clay land is
most often injured by cropping with
oats, and the effect on such soil is to
harden it into clods. Where land has
been made poor by oat growing one of
the best ways to restore it is to pillow
in the fall and sow crop of peas with
whatever fertilizer can be got. Peas
make more shade for the ground, and
they will get much of the plant food
they need from the air. Peas are besides
better grain to seed with clover than
is the oat, the peas of course being sown
broadcast and covering the whole sur
face of the ground.

BEEHIVE COVERS.
That Question of Ventilation About Which
Apiarists Disagree.

That Question of Ventilation About which
Apiarists Disagree.
Tho question rs TO ventilation seems to
be difficult one to settle. AT one time
upward ventilation seems to be in great
est favor. Then again the tide seems to
set in favor of having everything on top
sealed as tight as drum. The trouble
is that there are cases of entire success
and also of utter failure with each, and
the difficulty is to tell how much of the
success or the failure is to be attributed
to the presence or abs a-cs of this or that
kind of ventilation, ard how much to
things entirely indt psns:ent of ventila-
ton.
Perfect wintering Is reported with the
most widely differing systems, as also
failures. The lamented Quinby, at least
before the advent of movable comb hives,
advocated no cover whatever over bees
in cellars in winter. This was accom-
plished in box hives by the very simple
expedient of turning the hive upside
down, thus leaving the most ample VEN
tilation above, with everything sealed
tight below. The exact opposite of this
has been Of late successfully practiced,
alright above and everything entirely
open below, or at least space of two
inches under the bottom bars.
Perhaps the truth is, says The Ameri-
can Bee Journal, that it doesn't matter
SO much where the air gets to the bees,
so they get enough of it and provided
there be no strong draft through the
cluster. So gable cover for ventila-
ton does not seem to be considered nee
essary by a great number, provided
there be ample ventilation below There
may be something, however. in the
claim that more than merely one thick
ness of board should be over the bees
when wintered outdoors.

Storing Grain.

Corn cribbed before it is fully mature
will mold and may rot. 1t does not pay
to get in too great a hurry to store the
corn before it is fit, and, on the other
hand, unless one begins husking it at the
earliest seasonable moment and pushes
the work his corn will pass hey I'D a fit
condition for storing if he bein the great
corn growing belt. Wheat or oats put
in the bin in unfit condition will spoil
unless attended to, and one should fire.
quently run his hand deep down into the
bin for some weeks after thrashing. If
the grain starts to spoil, the only thing
to do is to get it out on the barn floor
and shovel it around every day until it
dries and cools. In conclusion, to put
everything in storage in good condition
is a reform much needed on many farms,
and it is TO be noted that it is reform
that may be begun at any time.-Ameri-
can Agriculturist.

Preventing Horns on Calves.

The germ or embryo horn of very
young calf may be easily and quickly
destroyed. Take a stick of caustic pot
ash, dip the end in water, rub it for
about 10 seconds ON the spot where one
horn is to appear. Then iewet it and
apply in the same manner to the other
horn. Repeat the application imne-
diately. Nothing more will be noces-
sary. The calf will never have horn
if the operation is performed before it is
3 days old.-Georgia Experiment Sta

eggs packed in salt during March and

which salicylic acid has been added,
kept well four or five months in a barn
cellar at a temperature of about So de-
grees F. Each box was turned over once
every two days Fertile and unfertile
eggs showed no difference in keeping
qualities, nor was there noticed any DIFF
ference in the keeping quality as depend

ess Of preservation had been tried, but
the quality of the eggs with it was in

An Outdoor Wash.

The following points in making a good
lime wash for barns and fences are given
by The Country Gentleman: The addi-
ton of sulphate of lime and common
salt to the ordinary whitewash-say one
fourth pound each to peck of lime
will make it very durable. A durable
light brown wash can be made with
fresh water lime, little sulphate of zinc
and as much clean sand as the water
will hold while being applied with a
brush. The whitewash can be colored
cream, fawn, gray, ETC., by the addition
of some yellow ocher, lumber, indian red
and lampblack.
