The First Complete Bible.

The first complete Bible printed in
England was issued in 1875 without any
publishers name. 1t was the work of
the celebrated Miles Coverdale, who in
corporated, with revisions, Tyndalc's
books of the New Testament, as well as
his Pentateuch and Book of Jonah. 1t
was thus only partially original as far as
Coverdale was concerned, the remaining
portion being a translation of transla-
ton. No perfect copy of this edition is
known to be in existence. A copy sold
few years ago in London for sum
equal to 5000 had the title, nineteen
leaves and the map missing. The Cover
dale Bible is the one mentioned in these
notes heretofore as the "Bug Bible" and
the "Treacle Bible," on account of two
curious passages found therein. The
passage in jeremiah which we now read
as sis there no balm in Gilead2" is made
by Coverdale to read as ''Is there NO
more treacle at Gahahad7" The psalm
which says "Thou shalt not be afraid Of
the terror by night" reads, "Thou shalt
not nede to bee afrayed for any bugs by
night" Tho ninth psalm, in that por-
ton which should say ''Put them in fear,

WHEN TO sow BEErs.

Any kind of beets may be sown in May
or early in June. The soil needs to be
made fine and mellow, and the seed is
sown in rows twenty-four inches apart
for the sugar beets, and thirty inches for
field beets. The seed is sown in these
rows ten inches apart, but as it is more
labor to drop the seed exactly this dis
tance than the cost of more seed, the
quantity of seed Is increased to six
pounds to an acre, which distributes it
quite closely. The excess of plants is
then taken out by the hoe, or by running
o small hand cultivator across the rows
and leaving strips of three or four inches,
with clear intervals of eight or ten
inches between them. These small
squares thus left contain the plants and
these are kept free from weeds with the
hoe. The rest of the land is worked
with common cultivator, and the small
one in the cross rows, thus greatly re-
ducing the hand hoeing, which other
wise makes much labor in the wedding
of the crop.
The seed may be sown by hand when
only small plot is cultivated, or by a
hand seed drill which drops aud covers
the seed at the same time, when a larger
plantation is made. For the best yield
the crop needs liberal feeding, either
with manure plowed in IN the fall, which
is the best time, or with fertilizers in the
spring, just before the planting. New

SHEEP SAVED BY BELLS.

A South Dakota correspondent of
Farm, Stock and Home having "lost
lambs enough by wolves to pay for half
dozen bells tor every sheep in the
fock," finally ended the costly and cruel
slaughter by the simple expedient which
has been frequently recommended by
Eastern shepherds in the chronic war;
fare against bloodthirsty dogs of all de-
grees:
"It is no use to put single bell, or q
small number, on large flock, as fire.
quently few sheep will get separated
from the main flock, out of hearing of
the bells. Last year had a few lambs
killed in August. No bells were on the
sheep. A small bell was put on each
lamb and it ended the loss for that year.
This year the bells were put on the old
sheep, about one to fifteen. The flock
was watched, on account of lambs, until
some time in June. In July more lambs
were killed. 1 then bought sixty more
bells, small cow bell pattern (cost, with
straps, $14.5O per hundred), and put
them on the lambs, and have lost none
since. The wolves are here, have fire.
quently been seen, have killed sheep for
neighbors, but have not touched mine.
One of the flock was turned out in the
morning when there was wolf seen in
the pasture, and it would not let the bells
come within gunshot of it,"

Fireballs Save Coal.

Tho use Of freballs saves one-third

far longer than coal without them.
There Is nothing like them for keeping
the house warm at night, and half a

BILE furnace would take the chill off bed
rooms very comfortably. When rooms
are heated by stoves economy lies in
never letting the fire 20 down in cold
weather, as it takes more heat to warm
the Iooml when the walls are chilled
than it does to keep them 80 for days.

DIVIDING THE OLD FARM.

1t is the rule when man has put a
good deal of work Into anything, he is
pretty sure to develop an affection for it.
The acres farmer has toiled to bring
to high productiveness are as the apple
of his eye, sometimes it would seem even
dearer than family ties. When sons and
daughters come to an age for leaving
home, nine times out of ten the wisest
thing farmer can do is to deed them
part Of the old farm. More often than
not what the farmer reserves for his own
use will give him more profit than the
whole would do if cultivated without
the help of children who have helped
him perhaps for several years before
they attain their majority, more than he
generally realizes. Boston Cultivator.

FARMING AT THE STATIONS.

FARMING AT THE STATIONS.
The Pennsylvania station has been ex-
perimenting with silage corn, and some
scientific results as to planting and feed
ing value of the different varieties of
corn are given that the Boston Cultiva.
vor thinks must be of general value.
Thick seeding has bsen found to give the
best yield according to the nutritive value.
Forty pints of seed corn planted to the
acre gave much larger percentage of
drying matter for the silo than thirteen
pints, and the dry matter of the thick
seeded corn was 81 per cent. more di-
gestible than from the thin seeded.
Thick seeding in every way gave better
results than the thin seeded. The early
dent corn was found to be inferior to
the large late dent, which is not so COM
monty sold for field crops as the former.
The large dent produced forty-three
per cent. more dry matter than tie early
dent, and it was 81 per cent more di-
gestible. There can be but one conclu.
sion from such experiments. Thick seed
ing and the use of large stalked varie-
ties of corn should be used for silage.
The Jensen system of treating grain
seeds in hot water applications before
using has been thoroughly explained in
this country, and many farmers adopt
the method of preventing loss through
smuts. Recent reports at Copenhagen,
Denmark, where J. I. Pensen has beer
experimenting, give as the resulting in
crease of the crops through the hot.
water system of treating seed is between
three and eleven per cent. This increase
is explained by the fact that greater vi
tality is given to the seed by the hot.
water soaking, and by the preventing OF
smuts. In the treatment of oats alone
millions of dollars have been saved to
the farmers of the world, and this was
all due to annual outlay of several thou.
sand dollars by the public spirited in-
vestigator and discoverer of the system.
The treatment of grains by this method
differs somewhat in various countries
according to the mosture of the climate,
but the general principles are the same
wherever wheat, oats and other grains
are cultivated.

little to the south of the town, where

breast had used the wire as main sill

CHANGE IN DAIRY METHOD.

OF late years the whole practice OF
dairying has changed. 1t used to be
that COWS were pastured through the
summer, and the butter was packed
away for sale late in the fall or in the
winter. Then the buyers went around
and bought up the stock made in the
summer. The cows were dry by the
first snowfall and were merely kept alive
through the winter and turned out on
the fresh grass in the spring. There are
many farmers who got 80 deep in this
old rut that they could not see out of it
and notice that they were left behind,
and were going on alone, and quite out
of sight of their wide awake neighbors.
And they are still plodding along in the
same seclusion. But Others on the look
out for improvements changed their
method and management, and are max
ing their cows work and make profit
every day in the year that is possible,
and for the time they must rest this is
chosen when it costs the least for feed
ing. Thus winter dairying is the basis
of the new practice, and by high feed
ing at this season and most improved
methods, butter is mad for sale fresh
from the dairy, or is packed for sale in
the summer, when the cows can rest at
tho least cost. Butter may be made bet.
ter and more cheaply in the winter than
in the summer by the use of the modern
apparatus, and it is far easier to keep
the milk warm by fire at thit season than
it is to keep it cold in the summer by
the use of ice. And thus winter dairy
ing will be the rule, and milking in I

FARM ENOUGH FOR TWO FAMILIES.

A young couple in early life buy a
farm that will keep si-teen to eighteen
cows. They go in debt for large
share of the purchase price, but by in
dustry and economy succeed finally in
paying 1t. An only son has grown to
young manhood, and begins to talk of
securing home of his own. His parents
begin at once to say; "Our farm is too
small for two families" So, as an ad-
joining farm is for sale, the boy buys.
Suppose, on the contrary, the father had
taken his interest money, and indeed his
surplus income for few years, and cx-
pended the amount in buying extra
fertilizer, procuring better stock-in
short, making the old farm produce
more than both farms will. How much
better every way! Many advantages
come from intensive rather than extern
sive farming. Wisconsin Farmer.

TEST FOR oLEoMAReARINE.

II in doubt whether you are using but
ter or oleomargarine, boil tablespoon
full of each. The butter will foam with
out much noise, the oleomargarine on
the contrary will sputter and hiss as does
melted lard, but it will not foam so de-
cidedly. Butter that keeps unusually
we'll in warm room in summer is to be
suspected. A well-known chemist is
inclined to think mouse knows the
difference without these tests, for he
found that of two crackers, one spread
with butter and one with oleomargarine,
left in his laboratory, the mouse pre-
ferred the former. The latter was sam
pied and left.-New York Post.

HOW TO SELECT CARPETS.

There are many things to learn about
carpets and their purchase. The man.
ufacture of them is full of catches and
tricks, and in the desire to make cheap
goods, quality and everything else are
sacrificed to looks.
A carpet may be made with very
pleasing surface, fairly good colors and
generally attractive appearance, but will
last scarcely as long as it takes to make
and put it down. The regular tapestry
carpet is printed like old.fashioned cal
leo. It is made all in one color which
is the color of the ground, it is then run
through presses on the same general
principal as any other printed article.
The color merely strikes through the
outside of the wool. The pile is held
in place only by single light binding
thread, aud single strand of the wool
may be drawn out for yard or more
by giving gentle pull at one end.
While this sort of carpet may have
its uses, it is the most Improbable thing
imaginable to buy. A chair drawn over
it may pull the threads out, any rough.
ness in the heel of the shoe is almost
certain to do it, and ordinary use in a
short time works the threads all out of
place.
In body Brussels every color is dyed
in the skein, then woven in, being
thrown upon the surface only where this
special color is required. In this class
of goods the variety of colors is neces.
sarily limited, as with present machinery
only certain number can be handled
Independently of each other.
Body Brussels carpets are usually
designated by the number of frames
which signify the number of colors
used.In all carpets of this kind, the wool
surface is thrown through the fabric,
and shows to some extent on the back.
Inscriptions dealers have so arranged
their machinery that the back of tapestry
carpet is stained Or clouded to follow as
closely as possible the colors on the sur
face. By this means unsophisticated or
ignorant persons are imposed upon, as
their idea that the colors show through
Is easily met by the stained appearance
on the back.
Of course such goods are most bare
faced fraud aud should be treated as
such. That reputable dealers sometimes
handle them is not at all to their credit.
What is known as velvet carpet is
merely tapestry with the pile cut.
Wilton carpets have the interviewer back
of the body Brussels, are yarn died and
questionabiy the most durable carpets
made.
Moquettes and Administers are very
thick and sometimes very durable, but
the purchase of such carpets may be said
to be almost a lottery.
For ordinary use and at moderate
cost, body Brussels is by far the best In.
vestment in the carpet line.-New York
Ledger.

a USE FOR WORN srocKrNas.

According to the Household, very
pretty little jackets for babies can be
made from the legs of silk and woolen
stockings when the feet are worn out.
The stitches that confiLe the legs are
carefully picked out, and the legs
joined together down the back of the
jacket. The sleeves are cut from the
narrower parts and sewed in. The
jacket is then edged around with seal
loped edge of worsted or knitting silk,
which is started by drewing a single
crochet through the edge of the ma
terial. A cord and tassels made from
the ssme is run through the neck.
