A History of Green Manuring.

A history of the practice of green
manuring, by J. Kuhn, in an official
publication in Saxony, bears The con-
clusion that green crops can be used
more economically in feeding tor meat
and milk than in blowing under mere
ly as manure. 1t is assumed that the
search for profitable crop for green
manuring of the better class of soils is
without avail. But the blowing under
of the stubble or remains of a crop is
proper and profitable. 1t is held to be
u mistake to plow into the soil for ma
nure a pound of albuminoids which
could be used for making flesh or milk.
The practice makes no Roadway in
farm management, except with lupines
on light sandy soils. 1t is recon-
mended to take advantage of recent
discoveries In agricultural science, and
instead of manuring the soil with at
mospheric nitrogen, utilizing to the
fullest extent the heterogeneous and car
bonaceous materials derived from the
air by feeding them to farm animals.

LIGHT POULTRY CRATE.
Some valuable Hints Relating to- tn
Shipment of Live Fowls


Shipment OF Live Fowls.
Express charges on live poultry be-
ing doubla rates, it is desirable to
make the crate in which poultry is
shipped as light as is consistent with
strength. The illustration shows what
is perhaps the best framework for
such a crate. An empty grocery box
of the requisite size may be sawed in
the middle, making the top and bot
tom OF the crate, though if the box is
at all high some three or four inches
only, of the top and of the bottom
should be taken. The corner post of
inch and half pine should be well
nailed to the box, and the sides and
ends then covered with burlap or cot
ton cloth. The top may be of Stats or
of boards, as shown in the sketch. If
of the latter, a hole should be cut
both for ventilation and for conven-

To answer these questions 1t is we'll 10 tell
the story Of the way "the pickaninny band"
originated.
When "In Ola Kentucky" was written its
author conceived The idea of a cOlOred brass
band to be known as The "Woodlawn Wang

tial features OF tn play. Such an organization
composed of adults could probably be secured
without great difficulty; but after giving the
matter considerable thought MI. Lit. ever on
the alert for a novelty, suggested that a band
of colOred boys would create more interest and
prove much greater attraction. Tins sngges-
lion caused considerable amusement among
Mr.. Lifts friends, and lie was the victim of
much cbaf1ng on the subject. Nobody had
ever seen or heard of n band of colored boys,
save In some back alley engaged IN "craD"
shooting. LII, none the less. insisted thai the
music for I'm OLD Kentucky's" racing scene
