The health OF idiots and those af-

Alaskan Indian Canoes.

In the Sitka district the canoes are
each cut from single log of wood.
The log is first dressed and followed
out, and then steamed and spread
open. Many of the canoes are models
of form. Great care is expended on
them, and If the maker we're paid good
wages their prices would be fabulous.
A good new canoe able to carry three
men Iand 100 pounds of baggage is
worth $3.50. An older canoe of the
same size may be procured for $40.
Some cost 5000 and up to 500. The
Indians have abandoned to great ex-
tent the old method of padding the
canoe. and they are furnished with
oars and sail. This is made possible
by having a rigid body, unlike the
bark or skin canoes of other places. -

BEDDING For FARM ANIMALS.

A great variety of bedding ma
terials are employed in different To-
calities, and each farmer will, of
course, select for his own use such of
these as are the cheapest and most
available, writes NJ. S. Perkins in the
American Agriculturist. In lumber
ing districts, where saw-mills abound,
farmers find cheap bedding in the
sawdust and shavings that are pro-
duced in SO large quantities. Saw
dust makes clean, tidy bedding, but
the impression is quite strong among
farmers that its effect upon the soil is
not desirable. Certainly it decays
very slowly. The common beach sand
near the seashore possesses, when dry,
good absorbing power, and affords
comfortable bed for stock. 1t is,
however, very heavy to handle, and
its application, in the manure, to land
already too sandy, as is much of the
land bordering upon the seacoast, is
not a good practice. Meadow and salt
hay, and the straw of our small grains,
supply excellent bedding, and by
their decay return large amount OF
humus to the soil. Their use should
be supplemented by the employment
of some dry material, such as loan
dust, sifted coal ashes, or land plaster,
30 that all the gases and liquid manure
may be saved. 1t is simple matter
tor every farmer to lay by a supply of
dry absorbents. By stirring the soil
frequently over a small area, the earth
rapidly dries out, and becomes dust
under the heat of summers sun. All
that is left to do is to gather the dry
material and store it in a dry place.
Every autumn our shade and forest
trees shed their leaves, a wealth of the
best OF bedding, that, having alb
sorbed manurial substances, decay
into the best of manure.

and on that side of the stable are win
dows so that there is an abundance of

night In winter one can see without q
lantern whether the COWS are all an
order. In the stable have a well with
q two-inch pump and the stock is
watered with pals twice each day.
The first thing in the morning they

MIXED, after which they are watered,
then the grain or carrot ration is fed
and some more hay given. This feed
ing is oil they have until the evening
chore-time comes, when they are

The stalls are filed with stone
pounded up and covered with clay

the COWS to stand on. Behind the
stalls is a space seven feet wide filed
from the ground with stone and ce.

partitions between stalls reach back as
far as the drop in the floor and as
high as the cows. In the middle of

out in a dry yard for q short time.
The yard is never muddy nor should
it be for either stock or men to

to take her place, which does away

Some years ago-several hundred
thousand, perhaps-a brackish or
fresh water lake existed which ex-
tended for 800 miles along the east
ern flank of the Rocky Mountains, and
many strange monsters wandered up
and down its shores
Professor Marsh named one the Tri-
ceratops, which means that it wore
three horns on its face. It's skull was
enormous, measuring in an old indi-
vidual seven or eight feet in length,
was somewhat wedge-shsped, aud the
back and sides Of its neck we're pro-
tected by hugo fanlike ruff or pro-
lection of bone, extending from the
skull and forming part of it.
The brain was smaller in proper
tion to the size of the skull than in
any known animal. The mouth was q
kind of besk, like that of lhe turtle,
and similarly sheathed in horn. Its
food was of the luxurious tropical veg
citation which hourished along the
borders of the great lake.
The animal was about twenty-five
feet in length and eight or ten feet in
height, being considerably larger
than the largest existing elephant =

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

Breed the kind of fowls you like
best.
Except in the severest weather let
the fowls out for exercise.
Where you find a superior breed Of
horses you find good pasture.
Wheat, cracked corn, peas, rice and
oatmeal make good feed for pigeons.
A goose can not be at its best unless
in clean quarters. What fowl or ami
NAL canP
Look to the mares as you wean the
colts that they do not become
ferverish.
Better late than never. Get up some
earth for dust-bath purposes before it
freezes up.
If beginning in the poultry business
be sure you get healthy stock or eggs
from healthy stock.
Give the ducks On airy coop even if
1t is low, and give them an occasional
fresh bed of clean straw.
Tempt the appetite of the fowls you
have shut for fattening. Give them Q
variety; vegetables, grease, corn.
Plaster or slaked lime sprinkled on
the poultry-house floor when cleaned
will help in cleanliness and healthful-
ness.
A little chopped fresh meat or a lit
tie oil meal mixed in the morning
feed will help through the moulting
season.
Heavy wire is the best material for
supporting Lima beans and other run
ming vines. A four-inch wire mess,
such as may be used for hen yards,
answers well for supports.

tening time clean out the troughs
each time after they have eaten. Feed
three times a day if you wish but do
not keep food before them all the
while.
If you have an idea that the poultry
business will run itself you are mis-
taken and if you go into it with that
mistaken idea you will find to your
sorrow that you should have paid at

Care should be used not to feed the
colt so liberally at weaning time ol
afterwards as to cloy the appetite. II
is better of the two TO keep them 6
little short than to oyerfeed. They
should be fed often and should have
all they will eat up clean.

A YEARS DRINK prLI

Americans are accounted fairly sober
people In the hurly-burly OF nations, but the
figures Of the Internal Revenue Commits
sioner for the past year are enough to make
temperance man stagger without drop OF
whisky or beer.
We distilled last year 81, ,sIs, ,ss4 gallons OF
liquor, not including i,4S0,35S gallons OF
brandy, making In all sS,177, 1877 gallons OF
alcoholic spirits. Expert bRrtenders esti-
mate slxty-three drinks to the gallon. There
fore there were 5,604, ,062, ,s9l drinks pro-
duced in this country.
A conservative estimate OF how much was
imbibed across counters Is about 81 900, 900
gallons OF whisky, brandy and other dis
titled spirits, or in other words, we drank
6,0e0, 900, 900 glasses of whisky, for which we
paid over the bar s609, 900 900, or $50, ,0O0, ,OOC
more than all the annual appropriations OF
Congress combined.
This represents consumption OF 100
glasses OF whisky each year for every man,
woman and child between the rock-bound
Pacific and the storm-tossed Atlantic, or,
counting only the male adults, 500 glasses
per week each.
or beer the figures are equally astound-
ing. The consumption was 81 962. 949 bar
rels, that is, 49, 7s5, 1863 200 glasses, represent.
ing an expenditure for this mode OF the Teu-
tonic hilarity OF s617, ,256, 400, or about ten
cents for each inhabitant. Inthe nelghbor.
hood OF 22O glasses are charged up in this
calculation against each of us as our annual
allowance; therefore, II we do not average
our daily glass We may be sure that ouI
neighbors are getting the benefit of our alb
atinence.

RYE FOR GRAZING.

1t is the general practice to NV rye
broadcast for grazing, but experiments
at the Arkansas Station show that
when planted in drills and cut and fed
green it affords very much greater
quantity of food in better condition,
and injury from cattle trampling the
soil in wet weather is avoided.

CLEANING WOODWORK.

1t often happens that the woodwork
on doors, particularly near the
handles, will become quite dirty and
badly stained by the frequent running
back and forth of careless children.
In these cases it is sometimes found
impossible TO remove the marks with
cold water or without the use of soap,
however undesirable. II this occurs
throw two tablespoonful of pulverized
borax into a pail of hot water and
wash the paint with it. Do not use a
brush, but if found impossible to re-
move the marks in this way, then
soap must be resorted to. Rub the
soap on the cloth, and then sprinkle
over the soap dry borax and rub the
spots faithfully, rinsing with plenty Of
water. By washing woodwork in this
way the paint will not be injured, and
the borax will keep the hands soft and
white. Borax is not half ns freely
used in domestic labor as 1t would be
If oil its usefulness we're better known.
Its help in increasing the cleansing
properties of soap, and at the same
time correcting its corrosive tendency,
is one of its most valuable properties.
