FACTS FOR FARMERS.

LESS acres, larger crops, less taxes,
less labor, better cultivation and your
interest reduced are important things
to consider.
GOOD catch of clover is one of the
most desirable things in successful
farming. Glover seed cannot with
safety be sown until spring, immediate
ly after the ground is settled. The soil
must be in good condition.
CORN may be injured by soaking it in
a solution of strychnine, if the solution
is too strong. A weak solution ought
not to destroy or injure the germ A
coating of tar will keep mice and crows
away and not hurt the seed.
IMPROVEMENT goes on in all branches
of farm industry. Even the bee-keepers
now know how to cross and to improve
their stock. There are almost as many
varieties of bees as there are of cattle
Over seventy-fve breeds of fowls are
now bred to standard of points
THE best depth for covering grass
and clover seed is two inches, according
to tests at the Ohio station At that
depth the seed will resist fall drouth
better, although the lighter covering
may present better appearance earlier
in the season. Clover covered three
inches deep did best.

the number of it. When 1 met Katie
again she told me of her failure and
asked:
HAS Devon got a mother or a sis
ter?''
''There was a young woman here to
see him few months ago who was said
to be his sister,
THAT will do. He has no doubt
mentioned her to his 1andlady. He
goes to dinner at twelve and returns at
one. / shall be here at three o'clock
sharp tomorrow afternoon. Ask no
questions, but let me work this out my
own way"
At a quarter past one o'clock next
afternoon she drove up to the boarding
house in a hack. and was provided with
travelling bag, wore a travelling suit
and appeared to have just come off the
train. She was Miss Devon and was
disappointed to think she had just
missed Brother Henry. She would get
a bite to eat, rest for an hour, and then
run down to the store. 1t was perfectly
natural that she should want to see
Henry's room and perfectly natural
that she should be left in it to tidy
things up bit. Even the sharpest de-
tective would have gone polzing into
trunks and the wardrobe and looking
into corners. She found that money
inside of five minutes. 1t was between
the leaves of an elegant big Bible os-
tentatiously displayed on center
table. At three o'clock she was on
hand to say:
''Now, you 60 to Walter Burke and
show him the affidavit. Then get out a
search warrant and have it served. In
side of two hours Mr.. Devon will be
very tired man"
Mr.. Burke was a bit surprised at my
call. He was a great deal more sur
prised when I handed him the affidavit
and told him about the five hundred
dollar bill, and added that 1 should APP
ply for search warrant. He did not
discourage me, though he said nothing
encouraging. It took the officer an hour
and half to find the money. I met
him at the store, and there was very
solemn meeting in the managers room.
Devon was called downstairs and in
formed of the result of the search and
shown the affidavit. 1 expected he
would face the charge as boldly as he
faced me, but the thing came so sud
denly that he had no time to work up
his nerve. He did indeed start in to
deny everything, but his demeanor be-
trayed his guilt, and he finally wilted.
He deserved ten years in state prison,
but he was not prosecuted. 1t didn't
look just right to give a cousin up to
the law, you know, nor would any of
us like to have the world know that we
had blood relative who ought to be
playing checkers with his nose. Mr..
Devon stepped out very softly and
quietly, and 1 stepped back into my old
place, and to this day there arc people
who can't make out how it all hap
pened. Katies father changed his mind
long ago. 1 think he's quite satisfied

IRON AND STEEL.

The Year Was aProftless One and the Out
look Is Gloomy.
PHILADELPHIA, May 1.-THE Stats
teal report of the American Iron and
Steel association for 1892 has just been
issued
Regarding the domestic iron trade for
1892 the report says that prices utterly
failed to respond to the very great de-
mand for consumption, and it cannot,
therefore, be truly said that our iron
and steel industries were prosperous in
1892. 1t was year of good profit for
very few iron and steel manufacturers,
of small profits for many and of no
profits at all for large number. Seek
ing for the cause of the depression the
opinion is advanced that while other
influences have had their part the prin-
cipai cause is to be found in our capac-
ity to produce much more iron and
steel than the country can consume,
notwithstanding the enormous con-
sumption the last few years. a some

POULTRY MANAGEMENT.
Results OF Feeding Trials at the Canada
Experimental Farm.

Results of Feeding Trials at the Canada
Experimental Farm.
The report of the Canada experiment.
al farms contains an account of the
treatment of the poultry on trial, the
number of eggs laid by different breeds,
incubation trial, treatment of chickens,
preservation of eggs, weight of eggs,
etc. Feeding trials at the farm have
led to the following conclusions:
1. No hens should be kept over tw ,
years, because after that age they molt
so late that the prospective profit is
eaten up before they begin to lay.
2. No soft-shelled eggs were laid by
the pullets, showing that they are not
as likely to do so as the old stock, and
that the daily mixing of coarse sand,
fine gravel and sifted oyster shells in
small quantities has preventive ten
dency.
8. No eggs nor feathers having been
eaten to date of writing, the regular
supply of ground meat, mixed in soft
feed, is to be recommended.
4. A small quantity of salt was mixed
daily in the hot morning ration, but as
it created looseness among the Brahmas,
Cochins and several Plymouth Rock
hens, its use was given up.
5. The feeding ofvegetables, viz, car
rots, mangel-wurzels, turnips, ETC., in
generous quantity had the effect of
keeping the hens in excellent condition
and is necessary for the production of
eggs.
6. Scattering the grain food among
the straw and chaff always on the floors
of the pens kept the fowls, particularly
the young ones, active. This grain food
should not be fed in too great quanti-

holes in the side piece through which
the ends of the springs pass while the

SO constructed that when the knob is

three feet in front to lay the open box
upon. Eight pairs Of hinges are used
in putting the box together. The bot
tom pieces of the box are cut from one
board five feet long. The movable end
pieces should be sawed off diagonally,
like inter joint, so as to let the edges
rest on the edges of the stationary end

Gus Obssseles.
When 55 years OF age my husband
died, leaving me a farm of $50 acres and
a debt of s7Oc. ] had absolutely no one
to help me but a six-year-old SON. Not
liking to be entirely alone, I let
part of the house to another family,
each living separately and managing
their own business kept only two
cows, one horse and three sows,
and invested part of the money Sc
cured from selling the rest of the
stock in buying 80 sheep. Then my
son and / had all we could do out
of doors. In winter we found boy
who wished to go to school near us to
do work for his board. The next spring
we sold IS pigs at 81 each, which was
the first money earned by the farm
since it fell into my hands
rented some plowed land on shares,
enough to raise what potatoes and corn
we needed for ourselves and for the
poultry. The man who occupied part
of the house did the haying for his rent
and for the use of enough land for a
kitchen garden. In the summer my son
and fixed over the old hoghouse, which
was quite a large building, to use for a
henhouse in winter, putting the hogs
in one of the empty stables. We board
ed up the inside of the building and
filed in between the inside and outside
boards with gravel, dirt or sawdust,
anything we could get that was dry.
We also covered the upper floor nearly
a foot deep with other stuff. In the
fall hired a man to bank it up on the
outside nearly to the windows, and we
papered it on the inside all over with
three coats of old papers. then put up a
partition so as to keep laying hens
from chickens. We set all hens that
wanted to after September L, and had
seventy chickens, some just Matched to
put into winter quarters. We took the
hens away as soon as possible, fed the
chickens all they would eat of clean,
good nourishing food, making them
scratch for it in the chaff on the floor.
In January we began to sell chickens
at good prices to an agent from Mont
real, who also bought the fall pigs at
four dollars each.
The sheep Were kept in barn base
ment formerly used for the wagons, the
big double doors were shut for the win
ter, small door being cut over the low
sill and graded up to on both sides so
they could easily get into the yard
| where there was always water. With
the pieces sawed out we made a door.
During this time my son had his les
| sons regularly at home and did not go
| to school. We added to our stock,
planted some small fruit and paid off
800 each year with interest. 1 was
shown how to graft native fruit trees
| and now have fine lot of apples. My
| granary has been turned into a bee
house. As the sheep increase we take
in pieces of the meadow land, pastare
| it for a couple of years, pillow and seed
| it down again so that it does not run
| out. My son to-day is ten years old:
the debt is paid; stock of animals has
increased and we are contented. Wom-

sometimes dirty, work need not try my

ish Town.
Entrance to the mosques is rarely re~
fused to Christians except on festivals,
and it is to the top of the highest NINA
ret in the town that we are bound. The
narrow spiral staircase affords no more
than Observation-Disclosures room; the steps
are foul with Summer-blown dust, with
bones brOughtin by owls and kites, be-
sides other venerable rubbish; and,
after what seems interminable gyra.
ton, we emerge upon the airy gallery
which encircles the top of the slender
tower.
1t is a crazy perch, for the whole
structure sways sensibly in the strong
wind, and it seems as if a moderate
kick would send the frail parapet clat-
tering down on the tile roof far below;
but, If your head Is steady. the view
well repays the labor of the ascent. Be-
meath your feet cluster the f1at-roofed
houses; here and there chimney rises,
crowned with an immense storks nest,
making one wonder how the domestic
economy of the bipeds within the house
can be reconciled with that OF the BIZ
pedS without.
From the dusky labyrinth of streets
spring twenty-six minarets, like sill
very bodkins, besides the one to which
we are clinging. Then let your eye
travel over the splendid prospect lying
beyond the town, Full forty miles the
fat plain is spread east and west, and
five-and-twenty north and south, with
hardly tree to break the level, save
where the peasants cots cluster round
the fortified oranges of the land own
