The Royal Baking Powder has the en-.

At the recent Worlds Fair the ex

MULES IN THE MINES.

Exhibitions Of Animal Glee Upon Being
Brought to the Surface.
1t is common affair for mules to be
imprisoned for years in the limitless
night of the mines. Our acquaintance,
China" mad been four years buried.
Upon the surface there had been the
march of the seasons, the white splen-
dor of SHOWS had changed again and
again to the glories of green springs.
Four times had the earth been ablaze
with the decorations of brilliant
autumns. But 'China" and his friends
had remained in these dungeons from
which daylight, if one could get view
up shaft, would appear tiny circle,
silver star aglow in sable sky.
Usually when brought to the surface
these animals tremble at the earth, ra-
diant in the sunshine Later they go
almost mad with fantastic joy. The
full splendor of the heavens, the grass,
the trees the breezes, break upon them
suddenly. They caper and career with
extravagant mullish glee. Once a
miner told me of mule that had spent
some delirious months upon the sur
face after years of labor in the mines
Finally the time came when he was To
be taken back into the depths They at
tempted to take him through tunnel
in hillside. But the memory of II
black existence was upon him. He
knew that gaping mouth that threat
ened to swallow him. He had all that
strength of mind for which his race is
famous No cudgelings could induce
him. The men held conventions and
discussed plans to bulge that mule.
The celebrated quality of obstinacy in
him won him liberty to gambol clumsi.
" about on the surface.
After being long in the mines the
mules are apt to duck and dodge at the
close glare of lamps, but some of them
have been known to have piteous fears
of being left in the dead darkness.
They seem. then, somehow, like little
children. We met boy once who said
that sometimes the only way he could
get his resolute team to move was to
run ahead of them with the light.
Afraid of the darkness, they would trot
hurriedly after him and SO take the
train of heavy cars to desired place.

TIMELY BEE NOTES.

CARBoLIo acid and tar are said to be
a specific for foul brood.
THICK, well-ripened honey will not
granulate so readily as that which is
thin.
" the honey is overheated, both the
color and the transparency are Ia
jured.
1T is better to have too much than
too little honey left in the hives for
the bees supplies.
In rendering beeswax tin or brass
vessel should always be used. An iron
vessel tends to darken il.
WHILE the black bees are better
architects than the Italians and can
gather as much honey, the latter are
much the more docile and are easier
handled.
WIEN the weather is bot and dry
especially the hives should be well
shaded. Unless shaded the combs may
melt down, and then the bees will re-
main idle.
AFTER the honey season is fairly
over take most of the honey away from
the bees, so that they will not rear g
large number of bees that will be con-
sumers only.

POULTRY NOTES.
Notes on the Selection of Winter Layers
and on Other Live Topics.

Notes on the Selection of Winter Layers
and on Other Live Topics.
Defects increase with age, and 1t Is
best to dispose of all Objectionable
members of the flock early in the sea-
son. Do not keep any chickens that
appear stunted; they always degrade
the appearance CT flock, and when
once fowl has been stunted 1t is not
fit for breeding purposes, and in fact
is not worth the keeping. Disease, or
tendency to disease, is hereditary.
Discard all hens that show ten
dency to lay on fat, and retain thoss
that under proper feeding will converS
the food into eggs instead OF fat II
part Oh the flock convert the food into
fat instead OF eggs, the profit che lay
ers might give is eaten up by the
drones No fowl should be retained
the profit of the fock.
Much care should be observed in Sc
lecting layers for breeding purposes
every year, and in short time the en-
tire flock will consist of nothing but
layers.
A good layer has small head, a
long neck and back and a wedges
shaped body. The eyes are bright
and the comb and wattles are of s.
bright red. She is energetic and active,
starting at every sound or motion with
an elastic spring.
A good layer usually lays eggs that
will hatch we'll. The very fact that
she is good layer shows that she is
in healthy condition, the consequence
being that the greater number Of the
eggs will be fertile and the chicks
strong and vigorous.
A hen is profit until she is three
years old; after that the number of
eggs annually decreases, aud she
should not be kept longer unless she
is world heater and perfectly healthy.
The hens that moult early should be
retained in preference to those that
moult late. They will come into profit
early in winter, when eggs are at q
good price.
| Hens that hatch and raise brood
make good winter layers, The rest
they get by incubation fits them fol
better work when they start again.

STACK FENCE AND MANauR.

log being one foot from the ground.
There are three logs on each side, the
extreme height of the fence being not
less than four and half feet. On the
leeward side of the pen q permanent
and durable manger can be easily
made from small poles. This may ex-
tend the entire length of the pen and
be built upon one or more sides. The
straw IS thrown into 1t directly from
the stack, and il a ration of hay or
straw be fed at noon 1t will prove
equally as valuable as manger in q
barn or shed, the only objection being
that 1t is located out of doors. How.
ever, it is more convenient and econom-
ical than to throw the food upon the
ground or in the nearest fence corner,

How I. Preserve Corn slower.

To preserve corn stover make great
bin beneath the barn floor, cut the
corn into short bits by machinery and
let it fall through the floor as fast as
cut, filling the bin to the floor Fod-
der that is brought in In good condi'
ton and cut right into the bin usually
keeps well. il there is any fear that
it will not keep, an excellent method
is to haul it and cut it mixed with one
third ost straw directly after the oats
are thrashed. If the thrashing is done
early and the corn fodder is not sufh.
GENTLY cured, the straw should be
carefully preserved for mixing with
the fodder. All stock eat this .combi
nation eagerly. 1t has been found 9

Novel Bird. Soaring Device,

Some of the farmers Of the Eifel, the
district that lies between the frontier
of Belgium and the Rhine, adopt a
novel plan for soaring the birds from
the wheat. A number of poles are set
up in the corn-fields, and wire is con.
Quoted from one to the other, just like
the telegraph posts that are placed
along our railways. From the top Of
each pole there hangs bell, which is
connected with the wire. Now, in the
valley brook runs along, with cur
rent strong enough to turn a small
water-wheel, to which the wire is
fastened. As the wheel goes around
it jerks the wire, and so the bells In
the different fields are set tinkling,
The bells thus mysteriously rung
frighten the birds from the grain, and
even excite the wonder of men and
women until they discover the secret.
This simple continuance is found to
serve its purpose very we'll

FARM WIND. BREAKS.
tfhy Every Country Place Should Have
Natural Fence of Willows.

Natural Fence of willows.
Every farm needs wind-breahs,
some more than others, for protection
In winter and summer, for what
breaks the force of the wind in the
winter will not only serve the same
purpose in summer, but II the right
kind will also supply shade, and shade
on farm is as necessary as some
other things,
Anywhere, under any circumstances,
wind-break saves-saves fuel in
winter whether put into the stove or

saves the life or prolongs the life Of
man and beast. A tighS board fence

other kind be available; but board
fence in the summer may be In the
way and is always radiator of heat.
il 1t run in the right direction 1t may
furnish shade, but other wind-breaks
are better.
Better than wood, more picturesque
and more useful in summer is the
natural fence of willows-the COM
mon willow that grows wild in great
abundance. Nothing requires less
care A farmer went into meadow
and cut an armful of willows in the
spring, thrust the scions into the earth
where he wanted his wind-break,
making two rows, eighteen inches
apart, and the work was done.
The willows grow with surprising
rapidlty If there be sufficient
moisture, and moisture they should
have in abundance at the start. After
they are rooted they will grow If the
soil is not moist, but they grow faster
with moisture.
In two seasons they may be an ap.
preciable wind-break, and in another
the hedge will turn cow In the
summer the hedge of willows Is orna-
mental; it gives the yard, the build
ings and the surroundings generally a
bright setting; and more, it provides
through the hot months shade for all
small stock on the farm.
The ducks, geese, hens, chickens and
the turkeys delight in the shady re-
treat; the turkey may make her nest
there instead of going to the woods OIL
