FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

Honey improves with age.
The orchard is a good place for the
bee-hives.
To make bees pay, choose place
where there is plenty of shade, water
and honey.
When colts are six weeks old, give
them bran ahd ground oats, and at the
same time give them lessons in drink
ing.
The dam should never suckle when
heated This is one thing to guard
against.
Be on the alert for blackleg in the
yearlings and calves, and if it does APP
pear be ready to treat it on first symp-
toms. Have supply of saltpeter
within reach and lookout for overfeed-
ing.
If You have manure cutters behind
the COWS wheat chat makes fine alb
sorbent. II you have no better use
for the chat, and can store it where it
will keep dry, do SO, and use it next
winter.

way in which COW can be fastened in
the stable; it is only question OF

nrst cost; can you afford it? Next to
the box stall comes the chain or rope
fastening.
All improvements have to be by slow
degrees and in full accord with the
natural surroundings. The farm stock
IS always equal to but never better
than the pasturage and care given by
the farm and farmer.
A Texas farmer destroyed the lice
on his cattle by rubbing them with
raw onion. Ittook two or three onions
to each animal, but not one louise
escaped death. Here is a pointer
worth FASTING in your scrapbook.
Don't forget it next winter
The science which has ever kept the
lead OF practice in bee culture has dis.
covered thai the laws of breeding hold
Just as truly among bees as among our
higher animals, that there is quality
among bees, and that by selection we
may greatly improve our honey bees.
Although there may be much work
to do on the farm the orchard shorld
not be neglected. Spraying should be
continued to keep off the fruit scab,
and in the pear orchard to keep the
pears from cracking. If the trees are
heavily loaded, much of the smaller
fruit can be thinnsd out with great
profit.

Two Of the most extraordinary Of
the pirates who formerly scourged the
waters OF the West Indies were wom-,
en-. One Of them was Mary Read.
She was a native Of England. and
had been dressed as a boy from child
hood for the purpose OF hiding d
family secret At one time she
served on a British war vessel. where
her sex was not suspected. Finally
she took passage on ship bound for
Cuba, which was captured by a pirate.
Having nothing better to do she
adopted the piratical trade. One OF
her cut-throat shipmates was Annie
Bonny, who was likewise disguised
as man. Anne, not imagining that
Mary was female, fell in love with
her, revealing her own sex. Mary
was thus obliged to make a similar
revelation. These two extraordinary
persons took their part with the men
In every conflict. The facts regard
ing them are perfectly well authenti-
Gated. While fighting brayely, their
ship was at length taken by war
vessel. They were tried for their
lives at Jamaica, where Mary died 10
prison. 1t is not certain what be-
came Of Anne, but she was not cy-
ecuted. -Globe-D Democrat.

Dog Caterers.

eyes, we are nothing more or less
than dog caterers" said Mr.. J. s.
Leigh, of Spratt's. Mr.. Leigh, seeing
that he had aroused the reporters
curiosity, added further, "and we make
three hundred tons of dog biscuits in
London per week, thirty-fve tons here,
besides manufacturing our biscuits in
Berlin and St. Petersburg" By this
time the reporter began to imagine
that dog was much more important
animal than he had hitherto believed
him to be, and questioned Mr.. Leigh
further. Said the latter: ''Man him.
self would be hundred per cent. bet
ter off if he could be fed on the same
principles we apply in catering to
dogs We ourselves eat anything and
everything. The laborer has about
the same staple articles of food that
does the man who uses his brains
There is but little difference, though
from physical point of view there
should be vast one.
'1n feeding dogs it is quite other
wise when we have the say For in
stance, we don't give greyhound,
whose. nature it is to run, food to make
him fat, but that which will build up
his bone and muscle and improve his
wind. A bulldog will get the sort of
biscuit that will improve his courage
and increase his tenacity The pet
dog that gets but little exercise has to
be presented with something more
tempting than either of the other two,
while the puppy which is still growing
must have that which will form both
bone and flesh. In the manufacture
OF our biscuits all these facts enter
Largely. In the first place, the biscuit
must be hard, SO that the dog cannot
bolt it at once, as he usually does with
soft food, but must gnaw at il leisure
ly, thus giving the saliva chance to
flow, mix with his food, and help di-
gest it, at the same time keep his teeth
clean and his gums hard. As to the
composition of our biscuits, we put
that proportion of animal and vege-
table matter into them which will at
tain any desired result. Besides cater
ing to dogs, we make biscuits for cats
and, by the way, two and a-half cents
per day is the average cost of keeping
a cat on our biscuits Then, too, there
are biscuits for horses, a very service
able thing in times of campaign,
when the most food must be carried in
the smallest space possible. From our
experience in catering to animals"
said Mr.. Leigh in conclusion, 81 will
wager that the time will come when
the man of sedentary habits will no
more think of buying the same kind of
food that the man does who leads an
active life, constantly calling his mus
Giles into play, than I would think of
giving to my greyhound the same bis
cult to eat that | would to my puppy"

War Engines ON PAPER.

As means of spending, to large
profit, the moneys contributed by the
people, through their taxes, to their
Governments, the invention and man
ufacture of new implements of war
are much favored by public men in
general. Nobody can tell what the cost
of new man-killing machine or ex-
plosive will be, and the frightful ex-
penditure is always excusable on the
plea of national defense and the safety
of the country. So the process goes
on; an armor is invented which no
gunshot can penetrate; then gun is
built which will force a projectile
through the plates; then comes
fresh discovery of impenetrable armor,
followed by new and irresistible pro-
pulsive agent, and all this time money
appropriations are being voted and
expended, and somebody or some
bodies are getting them, while the fear
of the charge of lack of patriotism
closes the eyes and the mouth of crit
icism.
The latest discovery-we believe il
ID bfic ldOcSe I'D bbhUCu w NO du tltc-
trical engine ''of the utmost simplici-
ty," which will grind out 100, 600 can
non balls every hour, and hurl them
in such force that nothing can stand
against their impact for half that
length of time. Forts will be annihi-
lated, fleets shivered into fragments,
armies turned to heaps OF corpses, and
where there were cities will be only
heaps of bloody and blazing ruins.
The most enthusiastic admirer of the
noble art of war must rub his hands in
rapture at the very description. And
the inventor is only awaiting the next
war to bring the magnificent product
