Farm AND GARDEN NOTES.

In mulching the strawberry beds use
litter that is free from weed seels.
Feeding too much grain is not con-
ducve to health or egg production.
Unless bulky food ia supplied the hens
will pick up much, that is, to shy the
least, not beneficial.
Too often there is an overlooking Of
grain to poultry and an unierfeediug Of
more bulky materials

Geese do not attain their full growth

Hence, it is nearly always best to sell the

The crab apple tree does not make a

The graft outgrows the stock, and makes
the trunk weak at the point Of union, or
the tree is dwaried by the stock.
After tho ducks begin to lay it ia safe

safest plan is to confne them every night

A Quaint Species of Crow.

In his subsection on modification
OF types of birds aud animals Sir John
Lubbock cites what is newest aud mos.
marvellous. He tells us OF a particular
crow in New Zealand, where the male
and female differ widely as to the struc.
ture of their bills. The male bird has a
bill, stout and strong, adapted to cut =.
ting and digging into the tree, but he is
deficient in that horny pointed tongue
which would permit him to pierce the
grub and draw it out. Tho hen bird
has, however, an elon cato aud straight
bill, "and when the cock has aug down
to the burrow the hen inserts her long
bill and draws out the grub, which they

For profit and for making meat of the
most desirable quality, pigs should be
brought to a marketable size aud weight
as early as possible. When from 200 to
35Opcunds for the dressed pig is reached,
he will be, If properly fattened, in the
best condition for family use. Corn is
the usual fattening food for hogs, but it
is becoming understood that diet which
will rive better distribution OF fat and
lean, makes more desirable meat. This
means that other substances besides corn
should be used for the growth Of the
young animals.
Clover during its season is excellent;
pumpkins are good aud cheaply raised;
skim milk is one Of the best, AMI during
the summer variety of foods are avail
able for forcing the growth Of pigs, leay-
ing corn to round up with at the close.
Again, hogs cannot be probably fattened
in cold weather, aud keeping them late
into the winter for gain in weight is
not practised by our progressive farmers.

GUARDING THE QUEEN.
The Post OF Royal Detective Is Arduous and
DANGEROUS,


Dangerous.
Persons who think about the matter
at all suppose it is an easy enough mat
ter to guard the person OF queen
Victoria. AS a matter of fact the Queen
and royal family are a greater source OF
care 10 the police than is generally
believed by the public, which doubtless
imagines that with just few hobbies
here and there in uniform and plan
clothes, whenever the sovereign and the
heir apparent take their walks abroad,
the whole trick is done. 1t is far
more difficult and expensive Job than
this TO guard the Queen and Prince.
Every time the Queen leaves one OF
her residences, even for an afternoon
drive, the event is notified some hours
beforehand 10 the police by the equerry
on duty, who announces what Itinerary
her Majesty will probably take. At
certain points all along the route police
men have to be stationed, and detectives
are placed at all the spots where the
royal carriages are likely to stop.
About Balmoral and Osborne the roads
can be watched without difficulty, but
not so around Windsor and Buckingham
Palace.
1t will be seen from this that the o.
flee Of court detective is by no means a
sinecure, and we might also add that it
is Of all posts that in which faithful,
jealous, efficient service obtains the
least honor and reward Not tina royal
persons are migrate ul 10 those who
guard them properly, but because the
men who guard best are naturally those
who make the least fuss. 1t is the duty
of court detective not only to shield
the Queen and Princes from danger, bur
to conceal from them, so far as possible.
that they have been in danger. Thus a
man whose sagac ty and diligence may
over and over again have saved the
Queen or Princes from annoyances or
hurt, will often be less appreciated than
the more demonstrative servant, who.
perhaps, once in his life has had the
good luck to arrest the arm Of an as
sassin after, not before, the pistol was
fired.

How Gravity 1fIects Inc Moon.

What is it that prevents the moon
from falling? That is the question
which now lies before Us 1t is as
suredly the case that the earth
continually attracts The moon. The
effect Of the attraction is not, how.
ever, shown in actually drawing the
moon closer to the earth, but the at
traction Of the earth keeps the moon
from going further away than it
would otherwise do. Suppose, for in
stance, that the attraction Of the
earth were suspended, the moon
would no longer follow its orbit, but
wonld start oil in a straight line in
continuation Of the direction in
which 1t is moving at the moment
when tie earth's action was inter.
cepted. According to Good Words
what Newton did was to show, from
the circumstances Of moons distance
and movement, that it was attra ted
10y the earth with force OF the same
description as that by which the
same globe attracted the apple, the
difference being that the intensity of
the force becomes weaker the greater
the distance Of the attracted body
from the earth. In fact, the attrac-
ton of the earth on ton of matter
at the distance OF the moon would lie
withstood by an exertiOn not greater
than that which would suffice to sus.
tain about three-quarters Of pound
at the surface OF the earth.
