The Henhouse.

A poultry writer says: Select a
southerly position for the hen-house,
that sne hens may enjoy the sunshine
in cold weather. Have a dry situa-
ton. Make the house so that it can
be well ventilated in warm weather,
ana yet warm in the coolest weather.
II should be well lighted, and SO ar.
ranged that the windows may be taken
out to admit the air in the summer.
Remove the old nests as often as every
month Bury or burn them. Make
new nests of clean hay or straw, and
sprinkle them with sulphur-powder,
and keep the house well whitewashed;
make the whitewash very salt, and
your hens will not be troubled with
lice.

Wheat in MARYLAND,

The Maryland Experiment station
in its summary for the past year in its
report says: The only experiment made
with wheat was with varieties; forty
kinds having been tested. The ground
was thoroughly prepared, and the
wheat sown the latter part Of Septem-
Ger; 600 pounds of fertilizer per acre
was applied; the nitrogen in this being
supplied by nitrate OF soda, and fish
scrap. The idea in using the two
forms being-that the nitrate, acting
as it does very promptly, would give
the wheat good start in the fall; and
the fish scrap, being slower in its eff
fects, would take up the work after
the nitrate had been exhausted. In
midwinter a top dressing Of stable
manure was applied, with a manure
spreader, and about twenty bushels of
stone lime TO the acre. On harvesting
and threshing it, most gratifying re-
turn was the result; the forty varie-
ties averaged 1922 bushels per acre
seven of them exceeded 40-and two
made over AZ bushels per acre.

HORTICULTURE AND IRRIGATIoN.-In
therecent irrigation agitation, horticul-
ture has had prominent notice. When
land is handled under irrigation and
the supply of water is under control,
it gays better to raise a horticultural
crop worth $500 or 81, ZOO an acre than
to grow some common farm cereal
worth $40 or SIS an acre. The irrigated
counties Of western Kansas show a
noteworthy tendency to horticultural
pursuits.

The Bible for SchOOlbOys.

An acquaintance with the Bible
should be required of every schoolboy.
College professors have lately been
showing how ignorant the youth of
America are of the history, the geogra-
ply, the biography, and the literature
of the sacred books. 1 do not now refer
to its religious lessons, but l speak
of the Bible as the basis of our social
fabric, as the embodiment of the most
instructive human experiences; as a
collection of poems, histories, precepts,
laws, and examples, priceless in impor-
lance to the human race. These Scrip
lures have pervaded our literature. All
this inheritance we possess in YER
sion which is unique. Its marvellous
diction, secured by the revisions of
many centuries, and its substantial &C
curacy, the care of many generations of
scholars, are beyond our praise. But
how little study does the schoolboy give
to this book in secular or sacred hours;
how ignorant NAV he really be of that
which is supposed to be his daily coun-
sellor.-President d. G. Gilman, in the
COsmOpolitdn.

The loneliness of age How few
think of this, and treat with tenderness
and consideration those who have out
lived their generation, and whose early
companions and friends have been
taken from them? Unable to engage
in the activities of life, they are no
longer brought into contact and SYM
patty with those around them, and no
tie of common interest and mutual de-
pendence binds them together. They
necessarily, to great extent, live in
world of their own, with which those
around them are not familiar. The
communings of their hearts are with
the scenes of the past and the COM
panions of other years who have long
ago passed away. Lover and friends
have been taken from them, and their
acquaintance laid in darkness. The
forms they admired and loved are
gone, the eyes that looked into theirs
with the tenderest affection are sight
less, and the voices that cheered and
stirred their souls have long since been
silent. Their early world of hope and
Joy has become desolation, and they
sit in silence contemplating the ruin
that has been wrought. They are
"Only waiting till the shadows
Are little longer grown"
to pass on to the reunion that awaits
them, and the glad greetings of those
they love. Who would not do what he
can to cheer the loneliness of the aged,
to smooth their pathway, and comfort
them in their declining years?-Ihe
Cburcbman.

RELIGIOUS MISCELLANY.
God Knew Best.

Sometimes, when all nfes lessons have been
learned,
And sun and stars foreverrnore have set,
The things which our weak judgment here had
spurned,
The things DER which we grieve with lashes
wet
VIII flash before us out of lifes dark night,
As stars shine most in deeper tints of blue;
And we shall see how all Gods plans we're right.
And how what seemed reproof was love most true.
And we shall see how, while we frown and sigh,
Gods plans 20 as best for You and me;
How, when called, he needed not our cry,
Because his wisdom to the end could see,
And even as prudent parents disalow
Too much Of sweet to craving babyhood
So God, perhaps is keeping from usnow
LIES sweetest things because 1t seemeth good.
And if sometimes, commingled with life's wine.
We End the NORWOOD aud rebel and shrink,
BE sure Il wiser hand than yours or mine
Pours out this portion for our lips to drink
And If some one we love is lying low.
Where human kisses cannot reach the face.
o, do not blame the loving Father go,
But your sorrow with obedient grace.
And you will shortly know that heightened breath
Is not the sweetest gift God gives his friend
And that sometimes the sable pail of death
Conceals the fairest boon his love send.
If could push aiar the gates of life,
And stand within and all Gods workings see,
We could interpret all this doubt and strife,
And for each mystery could find key.
But not to-day. Then be content poor heart
Gods plans, like lilies, pure and white unfold;
We must not tear the close-shut leaves apart
Time will reveal the calyxes of gold.
And IT, through patient toll. we reach the land
Where tired feet, with sandals loosed, may
rest
When we shall clearly know and understand
think that we will say God knew the best"

SOME 3 STORIES.

Not long ago Frank Stockton contrib

cal story, in which a startling incident
was narrated. By a stroke Of lightning
! steamer had been converted into an
immense magnet. and had attracted to
itself a submarine cable, which held 1t
fast until the cable ship came to the res
cue. This fight of fancy Is not alto
gether without excuse.
There is a story of an ocean steamship
catching up a piece of cable in the North
river. and towing it all the way from
New York to Liverpool and back with
out discovering to what mysterious cause
the strange reduction of speed on the
round trip could be attributed.
There is yet another story of a sound
boat which fouled a submarine cable IN
New York waters and towed a goodly
length of it to New Haven. There the
niece of cable was cleared away, cooled
down on the dock, and subsequently sold

1t is quite conceivable that the power
full machinery of an ocean steamer should
make light work Of gathering up and
reDding into fragments a dozen or SO OF
submarine cables, but that a river tug
should take to the same game and twist
some hundred feet or so OF heavily ar
mored seven conductor cable into a bunch
Of Gordian knots is a little too much.
The cable is the property Of the American
Telephone and Telegraph company, and
serves to connect the pole line across
Staten Island with that running through
New Jersey. the cable crossing the Kills
between Linoleumville and Carteret.
The tug caught up the cable IN the
| most approved manner, according to the

| from ITS quiet resting place IN the Silt,

| cious propeller and the inotfenslve ana

sued. Needless to say, the propeller was
victorious. The iron armor resisted V1g-
| orouslv. but it was never intended to
withstand the attack of a river tugs pro-
peller, so, after a stout resistance, &C.
companied by endless writings and con
tortions, it succumbed.
The sea serpent itself could not have
made a better fight. If the cable was
vanquished, its enemy was also, at least
for a time, placed hors do combat, for,
SO closely were propeller and cable IN
terlocked in their deadly feud that the
tug had to be brought to New York and
at in dry dock in order to separate
them. The snarl contains about one
hundred feet of cable, and bears strong
evidence as to good construction.
Few would believe that ~ cable coulc

such hideous shapes instead of breaking
almost at once. The cable, which Is {

down for about five years, and was fount
to be in perfect condition when repair
were made. Indeed, the snarl testlhe
