New YORK, May l3.-The filing of GER
tifcates for the consolidation of the
New York, New Jersey & Eastern Rail
way and the New Jersey Underground
Company in the Brooklyn, New York &
Jersey City Terminal Company, reveals
a great scheme which the Pennsylvania
Railroad has had in contemplation for
the last two years. The tunneling of
the North and East rivers is the chief
object the consolidated corporations
have in view. Then direct and contin-
uous connection between Brooklyn
New York and Jersey City and all
points on the Pennsylvania road will be
secured. The filing of a capital stock of
p2OO, 900 is merely nominal. The work
will cost millions of dollars

Two or three roundish stones,
weighing a pound or two each, put
in the feed box will prevent the horse
nosing out the oats.
Unthreashed oats makes one of
the very best rations that can be
supplied to growing colts, as it sup
plies both grain and roughness, and
the grain supplies the materials most
needed by them. Good fodder, with
middlings and oil meal, can be used
as change, with an occasional feed
of corn to make up variety. Water
regularly and keep salt where they
can help themselves. In this way
they can be kept growing and
thrifty with very little trouble, and
this with colts is what is necessary.
To estimate the height a colt will
grow: Take colt at any time be-
tween six weeks and one year, put
him on a level surface so that he
stands naturally, then measure the
distance from the hair of the hoof to
his knee joint, and for every inch or
fraction thereof he will grow to be
hands high when matured. If he
measures 15 inches he will grow to
be 10 hands high; if Is and half
inches, he will be Is and half
hands high and so on
1t is not hard work that wears
our horses out before they have
passed what should be half their
period of usefulness, but poor care.
You may have observed that race
horses, barring accidents, are con-
sidered good when much past the
time of life at which our farm horses
are practically worn out. The race
horse is worked hard, but he has the
best care intelligence and self-lnter-
est can give. The farmer seems to
lose sight of self-interest too often in
his treatment of his horses.

Why Silver Is Advancing in Price.

The opinion is expressed at Wash
ington that the cause for the con-
tinued rise in the price of silver
in London during the past few
days is due in part to the belief that
the Government of Russia is contem-
plating the step of adopting silver
as part of her monetary system.
1t said that intimations have been
received by Government officials that
Russia will replace her uncovered
paper money with silver to be used
for subsidiary coin.
AT present the amount of silver in
use in Russia as money is not 80
cents per capita, and she has $500,
600, 900 of uncovered paper, or about
$4 AZ per capita.
1t is stated that Russia can easily
absorb $3.50, 900, 900 of silver, and is
desirous of doing so for the purpose
of pushing her commerce in the East
with Persia India and China, which
use silver almost exclusively as

Poultry,

If your hens are not profitable, it
is because of neglect. 1t is hard to
manufacture something out of moth
ing, and when a hen receives no
more than enough to support her
physically she will not trouble her
self about producing eggs that would
rob her of needed nourishment.
Egg shells, broken in halves only,
are thrown out, with a portion of the
albumen lingering in the flesh, open
cavities, and this tempts the fowls to
snap them up and devour them
eagerly. They thus get th,ir first
taste usually of the "meaty con-
tents of eggs, and soon learn to
break the shells in the nest, or upon
the ground floor of the hen house,
after they discharge them.

Farm Notes.
THE Roy AT HOME.

Don't Treat Him AS II Everything was too
Good For Him.
One way to keep children on the
farm is to make it comfortable for
them, truly says the Fairfield Jour
nal The child who visits his city
friend and finds his room warm and
pretty, and then goes back to his
own bare and cold, Is apt to lay the
difference in them to the difference
between city and country living,
and to resolve that he will go where
the comforts of life are to be had as
soon as he is old enough. The farm
has about it elements of comfort
which are and must be lacking to a
home in the city, and there is no
reason why it should not have the
luxuries which are within the reach
of every one.
A boy will love his home better if
his room is neat and tasteful than he
will if it is simply place to sleep in.
The boy should have one spot where
in he may feel himself master of all
he surveys, and that is all that
makes a place home, that sense of
being able to follow ones inclination
in working and resting. He will
readily learn to be neat about his
person if he has some toilet con-
veniences in his room, and he will
be no less of boy if he carries the
water upstairs himself or picks up
things which form his treasures.
Most boys will be willing to do
extra work for the sake of the extra
comforts. Treat home folks as well
as company and they will enjoy
home better than any other spot in
the world. Don't treat a boy as
though his sex and youth were rea-
sons for denying him niceties and
comforts.

The cuts usually corned are all the
tough parts. The plate piece is
always jucier than any other, and is
the best for dressing, to slice cold.
If the meat is to be eaten hot the
brisket or rump pieces are the best.
For corning twenty-five pounds of
beef, use two pounds of salt, three
quarters of a pound of brown sugar,
half teaspoonful of soda, three
quarters of an ounce of salt-petre
and one gallon of water Put all in
kettle and place it on the fire.
Stir frequently and skim well.
When the brine has been boiling for
ten minutes, take it off and set it
away until perfectly cold.
Have the beef cut in pieces of a
suitable size for using at one time.
Be sure it has been thoroughly cooled
and drained. Place it in a large
butter firkin and pour the cold brine
upon it. Now lay slate slab or a
piece of wood upon the meat and
upon this place large stone or any
heavy weight that will keep the
meat under the brine Cover the
firkin and set it in cool, dark place.
The beef should be kept in the brine
at least three weeks and can be kept
for year.

come No one can do his best work
unless there is someone who believes
in him. Encouragement is the best

never be afraid of being too lavish of
praise of husband and children. If
a loved one does something well, do
not be afraid to say so. Or if you
must criticise, do it gently, lovingly,
at the same time showing him that
you believe he can do better.
