Life Preserrers for Wells.

Tho East India coolie is fatalist;
thinks as little of killing himself as
the Chinaman or Japanese. In point
of fact he entertsins marked prefer
ence for self-destruction as means of
showing pique at real or fsncied in
jury. In the city of Bombay this
tendency has long been n source of
considerable inconvenience aud danger,
as the favorite method of the Eastern
suicide is to jump into well, and it is
stated that there is scarcely a well in
the city that has not, at some time,
been used for that purpose. An in
genious native East Indian has met
this difficulty by inventing simple
and durable appliance, which has the
merit of not only preventing suicide,
also accidental drowning in wells. So
excellently is this device adapted for
this purpose that it has obtained the
approval of the Royal Humane Society
of Great Britain. 1t consists of u
hoop of wood or metal, over which is
stretched a net of light tarred rope
with four-inch meshes Metallic
drums support this net just far enough
under the water of the well to enable
the buckets TO sink and dip, but there
is not enough water above the net to

BEST FOOD FOR MICH COWS.

The food of COW has very little in
fuence upon the butter globules in the
milk, these being individual or breed
characteristics. You can readily in
crease or decrease the quantity of milk
given by a COW, or even flavor it with
turnips or onions mixed with the food,
but the butter globules in it will re-
main about the same, whether the
quantity given is much or little. The
Jersey COW is noted for giving very rich
milk, but not so large quantity as
some other breeds Well-cured clover
hay is the best fodder for milch cows
in winter, and good corn fodder comes
next; after these hay of various grades.
But dry fodder is not sufficient to keep
up good flow of milk, and a ration of
bran, corn and cOttonseed meal should
be added. If only wheat bran and
cottonseed meal is given, then an ordi-
nary sized COW should have ten pounds
of bran and two pounds of the cotton
seed meal as a daily ration, but a
better one would be five of corn meal,
five of bran and two of the cottonseed
meal These may be divided into three
rations and given morning, noon and
night, with all the good hay or other
kind of fodder the COW will eat. Hay
and oats ought not to decrease the
flow of milk unless they are musty and
otherwise poor in quality. New York

GROWING BUSH FRUITS.

Professor S. b. Atwood, of the Vir-
ginia Station, says in bulletin IL: The
ordinary method of growing bush fruits
in the farmers garden, along the fence
rows or in situations where culture is
quite impossible, is doubtless the worst
sort of system ever devised, and the
common prevalence of this no system
is probably largely responsible for the
lack of interest in the culture of these
very wholesome and valuable fruits.
They have from custom generally
been relegated to the fence row and out
Of the way situations until most farm
ers have come TO look upon them as un-
worthy of better treatment the fact
that they have grown and borne fruit,

situations, has asencouraged, more or less,

owns a small area of available ground

Lumber in the Northwest.

Some surprising figures have Just

'cAdy father used TO tell me about the

young fellow few days ago, says the
Detroit Free Press "That man had n

forty-acre farm. He had few hum
dred dollars in the bank and was al

far below the profits of his little place.
That man had no sickness in his family.
He was happy. He had everything

So he was the richest man my father
ever knew. I cannot say that l agree
with my respected ancestor, continued
the young man, "for that man never
knew of the modern luxuries of life,
those thousand and one little improve
ments and conveniences that go TO
make ease for man, the gradual work
ing out of the theory of the eventful
complete mastery of mind over mat
ter. "
''You are looking" said the older
man, ''to that time when the mind will
sit in an inert body and do nothing but
command. True il is that the tendency
is in that direction; but il is n matter
of grave question whether the good of
the human race calls for the fulfllment
of the plan. The mind of man is tho
master, but the man who looks forward
to the hour when he can sit and by the

these things about. We yearn for i'm

the conclusion that where fence is to

permanent division between fields that
preference should be given to the ordi-
nary board fence on account of its

posts when made of timber other than

to the wisdom of this preference.

rERTnIzrNG ORCHARDS.

Professor l. p, Roberts sent to the
Western New York horticultural So.
ciety an interesting paper on this sub.
ject, in which he said that the par
ticular advantage of forest soils is the
great amount of humus they contain.
The roots in the soil serve as drainage
tubes, and as they rot away the soil
becomes hard and compact.
In many orchards the cheapest way
to get plant food is by the intelligent
use of the drain tile. In those
that are naturally underdrained this
would not pay. Where an additional
fertilizer is wanted stable manure is
the most available and cheapest form,
but it contains too much nitrogen in
proportion to its mineral elements,
and is apt to force the growth of wood
too much. 1t should, therefore, be
well rotted before being applied.
Where nitrogen is wanted it can be
obtained cheaper by the use of vetches
and other leguminous plants. The
vetch is the most suitable plant for
covering the land late in the season.
The seed can be sowed in June or July,
and plants will cover the ground com
pletely by winter. Farmers Home

with which they can be grown, doubt
less the methods of culture complained
of will be abandoned
Commercial growers have, of course,
long since given TO these fruits as good
culture as TO any general crop. None
of the fruits should ever be planted
where they cannot be cultivated with
ease on both sides of the row, and 60
allow weeds and grass to grow up and
choke them is to invite disease and in
sect injury. For ease of cultivation
the garden should be long, rectangu-
lar plot of ground and unless absolutely
necessary should not be fenced at all.
Sooner or later farmers will learn
that all useless and unnecessary fences
simply serve as harbors for vermin and
insects without adding one dollar in
value to the place. Fence the stock
where it must be done but let the
plants have free air, sunlight and good
culture. No particular effort at special
culture is necessary for these fruits,
but the gooseberries and currants, es-
pecially, require good soil and will be
much benefited by mulching of chip
dirt or coal ashes. It is 20 be pre-
sumed that all persons know that the
old canes must be removed each year
from blackberries and raspberries and
that currants and gooseberries require
iudicious pruning by cutting away the
old wood.-Mirror and Farmer.

The general public is entitled to the maxi

pays for that. II wants sober conductors,
engineers, firemen, brakemen and switch
tenders. As a rule its wants in this respect
are gratihed. No railroad company would
dare to employ an inebriate in any one of
these positions. But the tendency is to go
further, and to refuse to employ any drink
ing man, whether a drunkard or not. No
rational man will employ drinking coach

Noah. "Hum y grunted Satan, whats the

answer that tits fruit is sweet and good, and
its wine gladdens the taste. Whereupon
Satan, seeing here good chance for specu-
lation, proposed that they work it on shares,
which was agreed upon, and Immediately the
devil brought lion, n hog and n monkey.

Therefore, II man eats only of the fruit of

If he drinks wine, he imagines himself lion,

pRINKINe HERE AND ABROAD.

In spite Of the widespread impression that
the United States are Nation of drunkards.
its people are in reality the soberest and most
temperate in the world according TO the
Troy IN. Y Times Whatever drunkenness
we have to endure comes chiefly from abroad,
brought here by people who retain their old
world habits, or transmitted by them in the
nature OF appetite TO their children born here.
Except for this constant accession to the
drunkard list by importation not more than
one man in 10000 among us would be a
drunkard.
Our best and most temperate foreign pop
ulation comes from the United Kingdom.
But in that country the drink bill for 1891 is
placed by DR.. Dawson Burns, of the United
Kingdom alliance, at S706, 900, 900. In the
United States In 1890 according TO Wilbur f.
Copeland, OF the Voice, the drink bill was
81, ,l3l, 900, 600, or about sixty per cent larger
than in the United Kingdom, though the pop
ulation is eighty per cent. larger, the wealth
quarter larger, and the average drink twice
as high in price. Taking into consideration
all these facts, our liquor consumption is not
more than one-half that of the next soberest
country in the world.
The accommodations for getting drunk are
also greater in the ''mother country" than
here. In England and Wales, with less than
half the population of the United States
crowded into an area about equal TO New
York, Massachusetts and Connecticut, there
are 1913 900 public houses or drinking places
while in this entire country there are only
al, 600, or ten per cent. more. The compact
population Of England and Wales has pub
lie house for every 202 persons, while the
United States has one for every 450. The
average English city has n public house to
every l73 persons in this country the average
proportion is considerably less Even in New
York, the essentially foreign city, there is
only one licensed saloon for every 200 inhabi-
tants, while in Philadelphia the proportion
