TOO BAD. PnnR nIn MAN

The New York Sun has turned its batteries
on the Senate and proposes to popularize
some of the Senators by villifying them in
Rach the same way it did President Cleve-
land.
According to yesterdays Sun Senators Cor
man and Gray are towards, not of the ordi-
nary type, but towards that are conspicu-
Gus, so conspicuous that they deserve to stand
alone" Forty Senators who voted for the in
come tax are designated as Populists, and,
heaven save us, the only Democrats in the
Senate are Hill and Murphy, of New York,
and Smith, of New Jersey.
In almost any other newspaper such billings
gate abuse would be noticed, and would
probably do some injury, but the Sun has in
dulged in it so long, and to such an extent. that
the only comment heard, if any is heard at
all is. Poor old man, what pity"
When the Sun slandered and abused Presi-
dent Cleveland he grew in popularity, and
his third nomination and final reelection was
aided by the resentment and Indignation
created by that abuse. 1t is perhaps unfortu-
nate that the killing sarcasm of the Sun has
an opposite effect TO that intended, and its re-
iteraSon that Hill is Democrat will never
be taken as strict application of sincerity
and truth.

by an opportune dive. The steamer

by an opportune dive. The steamer
rushed by.
''THrn 'er agin,'' screamed the mate.
The captain was already doing so,
and in a remarkably short time the
boat, which had described a complete
circle, was making again for the engi-
neer.
Look ont for the line" shouted the
mate, warningly.
II don't want your line" yelled the
engineer. ''I'm going ashore"
Come aboard" shouted the captain,
imploringly. as they swept past again.
1--WE can't manage the engines"
Put her round again. said the
mate. iii go for him with the boat
Haul her In, boy"
The boat, which was dragging
astern. was hauled close, and the mate
tumbled into her, followed by the boy,
just as the captain was in the middle
of another circle-to the intense in
dignation of crowd of shipping, large
and small, which was trying to get by.
"Ahoy!" yelled the master of a tug
which was toting large ship. ''Take
that steam roundabout out OF the way.
What the thunder are you doing?"
Picking up my engineer" replied
the captain, as he steamed right across
the others bows and nearly ran down
a sailing barge, the skipper of which,
Salvation Army man, was nobly
fighting with his feelings.
why don't you stop?" he yelled.
'"Cos can't" walled the skipper of
the Bulldog, as he threaded his way
between huge steamer and schooner,
who, in avoiding him, were getting up
a little collision on their own account.
"Ahoy, Bulldog, ahoy," called the
mate, ''stand by to pick US up. We've
got him.
The skipper smiled in an agonized
fashion as he shot past, hotiy pursued
by his boat. The feeling on board of
the other craft as they got out of the
way of the Bulldog, ind nearly ran
down her boat, and then in avoiding
that nearly ran down something else,
cannot be put in plain English, but
several captains ventured into the do
mains of the ornamental with marked
success.
''Shut off steamr' yelled the engi-
neer, as the Bulldog went by again.
Draw the fires then"
who's going to steer while 1 do it?''
beloved the skipper, as he left the
wheel for few seconds to try and get
line to throw them.
BY this time the commotion in the
river was frightful, and the captain S
steering, as he went on his round
again, something marvellous to behold.
A strange lack of sympathy on the
part of brother captains added to his
troubles. Every craft he passed had
something to say to him, busy as they
were, and the remarks were as monot-
onous as they were insulting. At last,
Just as he was resolving to run his
boat straight down the river until he
came to halt for want of steam, the
mate caught the rope he flung, and the
| Bulldog went down the river with her
boat made fast to her stern.
Come aboard, you-you lunatic," he
shouted.

The GUINEA FOWL.
Birds Which Deserve More Attention tn

Birds Which Deserve More Attention Than
They Now Receive.
There a good many varieties of this
bird, all of which are supposed to have
originated in Africa. The two kinds
most generally known are the specified,
or pearl, and the white, the former be-
ing the more common variety. They
are prolific layers during the summer
season; they mature early. and their
flesh is fine and tender. The meat of
the white Guinea is White. the skin be-
ing yellow; the speckled have dark
flesh; both have a gamey flavor.
The birds mate in pairs They usu-
ally commence to lay in May or June.
The eggs, though small, are rich in
favor. The shell is very hard, and if
the eggs are set under hen, the nest
should be filed with dirt and set in a
cool, moist place. The period of incu-
baton is twenty-six days. When
young they are delicate, like turkeys,
and continue so until they change their
coat of soft down for one of feathers.
They should be fed and managed like
young turkeys, and, like them. will be
inclined to seek high roosts, but should
not be permitted to do SO.
Guinea fowls are very useful as pro-
tectors of other young fowls from the

tifully sober, and in full possession of
a somewhat acute intellect.
What do you mean?" demanded the
skipper.

engineer, until you, and the mate,
and the bye all swear as you won't say
nothing about this little game"

prepared to dive, but the watchful

neer.
Honor bright" chorused the three.
The engineer, with all the honors of
war, came on board, and after remark
ing that he felt chilly bathing on an
empty stomach, went down below and
began to stoke. In the course of the
voyage he said that it was worth while
making such a fool of himself, if only
to see the shippers beautiful steering,
warmly asseverating that there was
not another man on the river that could
have done it. Before this insidious
f1attery the shippers wrath melted like
snow before the sun, and by the time
they reached port he would as soon
have thought of hitting his own father
as his smooth-tongued engineer

To make Good Pork Cheapiv,

One of the good uses of clover is to
make pasture for pigs by which the
cheapest meat may be made and of the
best quality. This will also improve
the land at the same time. Turn the
pigs in such pasture, but divide it so
that part only may be fed down at
one time and a change made, which
will afford fresh feed, and economize
the feeding and make it go a fourth
further at least. In this pasture give
the SKINNED milk and stir it in half a
pound of bran for each pig daily. Add
a tablespoonful of salt for each pig in
this feed. Continue this until the corn
is about ready for cutting; then gather
the soft ears and feed these to the pigs
The only food that viii count as cost
will be the clover and the bran, and
the clover will be fully paid for nv the
manure, as the land will be much en-
riched by the milk and the bran Pork
may be made in this way for under
two cents a pound, not counting the
benefit of the land.-Rural World.

How to Feed the calves.

After calves have had milk for four
weeks they will eat grain finely ground
and little hay OF grass. When they
are three weeks old they may be
taught to take little mixed oat and
Hnseed meal from the hand, and in
two or three days will eat it from a
feed box good substitute for the
milk Is oats, peas and bran in equal
parts, with one-fourth part of linseed,
ground together. This is mixed with
boiling water or with cold water and
then boiled, adding a teaspoonfuI of
salt to feed of four quarts To begin
with this the feeding should com
mence some days before the milk is
taken from them, and the grain
preparation mixed with the milk,
which is gradually lessened until it is
wholly withheld. If the calves have
pasture this food may be gradually re-
duced until it is displaced by water,
when the grain is given dry. Salt
should be given regularly. One tea
spoonful is enough for one week at
first

HANDLING POTATOES.
Judicious Marketing Fully as Importan
as the Raising.

Judicious Marketing Fully Important
as the Raising.
The profit or loss in the crop depends
fully as much on the way it is cared for
and marketed as upon its successful
productio AS rule 1t does not take
the same amount of care and ingenuity
to produce a good crop as it does to
care for it and market it to the best
advantage and at the least cost
A great many products are injured
by too much handling, and with the
crude methods used it can hardly be
avoided. What is needed is an improve
ment in methods. The usual methods
for handling potatoes, for instance,
practiced by majority of producers,
is to pick them up in baskets and empty
them into pits or into the wagon box,
when they have to be handled again
by hand or with fork or shovel. and
either spend a good deal of time in
picking them up by hand or injure
them and start decay by bruising them
with shovel or fork. T. B. Terry, in his
ga b of Potato Culture" tells us
better way.
For several years 1 have been using
bushe1 boxes for marketing early pota-
toes while the skins slip, and for
through the season. This is one of the
ways in which. the potato specialist
can get ahead of the small raiser.
think we handle our crop for less than
half of what it used to cost us before
we got these boxes made. Our boxes
are 10 inches by 16 and Is deep, all in
side measures. They were made a
little deeper, to allow for shrinkage.
The sides and bottoms are made of
three-eighths stuff and the ends of five
eighths. Hand holes are cut in the
ends.
The upper corners are bound with
galvanized hoop-iron to make them
strong. The price paid for them was
from S25 to $50 a hundred at box fac
tory. Some light wood should be used,
of course, so as to make them as light
as possible. They need not weigh
more than six or seven pounds Early
in the season, while the skins slip, our
potatoes are dug and laid mot thrown)
into these boxes, and the boxes are
covered as fast as filed. They are
then safe from sun and rain till want

pieces of boards cut about 15XIS inches
Dug one day and taken to market the
next and set off on the boxes at the
