then throwing the still burning remains

On returning to room he had Quilted
sfew moments before he saw that the
place was ON fire. He ran from the
house, and meeting police officer cool.
iy informed him that "a house back
there was on fire. He hurried to the
place with the officer. The fire WAS now
burning brightly. In his haste the officer
failed to notice that though the rear
door was open none of the family was
to be seen. They secured pals. the
burglar doing the pumping act, but the
apparatus failed to respond. A large
boiler of water, intended for the next
days washing, stood convenient, and he
tween them they carried the boiler of
water into the house, where the flames
were soon extinguished. 1t was when
the officer looked around for his gentle

he was alone. The family was aroused.

had been ransacked, but little of any

HIGHEST PROFITS IN HIGHEST
FEEDING.

Ten cows were fed 8 ration beginning
with lbs of grain and y lbs Of hay, and
gradually increasing up 10 as high as -
lbs OF grain and p lbs of hay per day per
head, and then gradually decreasing to
the original amount. Throughout this
test at the the Pennsylvania experiment
station, accurate notes were taken OF the
amount and cost OF the food, the amount
OF milk produced by cash animal and its
butter value as determined by the Bah
cock test.
Perhaps the most striking lesson is the
demonstration given by the profit there
is in liberal feeding. The cheapest
ration used cost is Sc per day and pro-
duced butter valued at 26.5c, making a
net profit OF 7.7c per day per COW. An
increase OF zoe per day per COW is the
cost OF this ration made the daily value
OF the butter Sic and the net profit Csc
per day or difference OF l.6c per day
per cow in favor of the more costly ration.
In other words, the farmer who at
tempted to economize by feeding the
cheaper ration would, with herd OF %
cows, save s2l7 per year on his feed bills
but would loose 1887 worth of butter that
he might have produced with the more
costly ration, so that his ill-judged at
tempt at economy would result in net
loss Of $40.
The cheaper ration, moreover, is what
would ordinarily be considered a good
ration, and the majority OF dairymen
would be likely to feed less rather than
more, yet the results show conclusively
that with such cows as these, the more
expensive ration was really the most
economical.
A further increase Of the cost OF the
ration, however, TO Isle per day gave no
further increase in the butter product,
and the net profit was thereby cut down
to 5.9c per day or 1.Sc lees than with the
cheapest ration OF the three. In other
words, the experiments indicate that
there is certain medium ration for each
COW which will give the greatest net
profit, and that any att smpt to eoono-
mlze by feeding less than this will result
in a loss, while, on the OF her hand, it is
possible to feed a COW too much as well
as too little. Generally, however, there
is more danger of feeding too little than
too much

FERTILlZlNG.

There is an old Italian saying: "a
field hath three needs-good seed, good
dressing and good husbandman."
The practical question asked by the
progressive farmer is, How can increase
my field OF fruit, grain or grass, and thus
reduce the cost OF raising the crops
And we answer-from close observation
and the practical experience OF many OF
the most thoughtful and successful
farmers-you must cultivate your lands
better and make them more fertile. But
how to make the land most fertile and
thus productive? is the question which
troubles great many. What fertility
means is but vague idea to nearly
every fruit-grower and farmer. That it
signifies quality OF fruit as well as
quantity is seldom allowed for, bnt such
is the fact, provided the fertility con-
sists IN the proper constituents of plant
food as can be now readily seen by feed
ing quick growing fruits like strawber-
ries, and by the quality OF raisins and
dried fruits.
How important it is then that we pay
more attention to fertilizers when small
or large fruit, fine favored or tasteless
fruit, puffy fruit or that with melting
qualities, freedom from mildew, rust or
disease; fruit that will keep good
shippers), or that which will soon decay ::
early or late ripening fruits; when these
conditions may be largely influenced,
perhaps controlled, by the kinds of fer
tliizers applied, the Importance of the
subject is apparent.
What fruit tree needs in order TO at
tam the greatest perfection in both
growth and fruit is subject which de-
mands the most careful study of every
one who would be a successful fruit
grower or farmer. How to study so as
70 win success demands an intimate
knowledge of the soils. reasons, trees
and fruit in every condition of their
growth.
There are three different schools of
agricultural scientists who claim each
plan OF fertilizing the best-one that
fsrm-yard manures are best and all tina,
is necessary; one that mineral or COM
mercial fertilizers are best; while the
other claims that the two combined are
the best and absolutely essential to
perfect fertilization. There are also two
schools as regards soil and plant an.

Our Paris correspondent reports that
very touching ceremony took place re-
Gently at Battilly on the Franco German
frontier a German contingent came
to reclaim handful of their dead of the
Prussian guard, who fell in the war of
1870. Their dead were delivered up to
them and were carried with every mark
of respect from the representatives of
both armies to monument on the Ger
man side, within which they were to find
their final rest.
The French troops formed in hollow

lains delivered orations on the heroism
of victors and vanquished. The troops

poor and the lesser if it be rich.
Hops are seldom grown from seeds,
but rather from sprouts from old planta-
tions. About four sprouts are planted
in each hill. As the hop is diPcious
plant, bearing male blossoms OH one
plant and female blossoms on another,
it is necessary that care be taken to get
the proper proportion OF each. Ten or
a dozen male plants to each acre will be
sufficient Level cultivation is best, ex
cept as ditching may be required for ir-
rigation. Sometimes potatoes or corn
is planted between the hop rows the
first year, but most growers prefer to
set the poles the first year and grow no
crop. Poles are set two to each hill.
Aspen makes as good poles as any COM
mon wood. For the standard varieties
OF hops, poles fifteen to twenty feet long
are required, but for the grape varieties
shorter poles will answer. Hops begin
to bear some the second year, and after
the fourth year will yield full crop.

Hop culture does not ater well into

Coming International Expeditions.

People who are fond of going to inter
national exhibitions can go to lots of
them within the next seven or eight
years In about seven months from this
time, or on the LIST of April, there is to
be opened at Madrid, under the auspices
of the Spanish government, a show bear
ing the official tito of The Universal
International Exposition" the managers
of which have already given notice that
they are prepared to receive exhibits
from all countries, including the United
States. 1t is to be held in the Palace of
Industry and its annexes and will be
kept open for eight months
Then, three years afterward, or in 1897,
the Turkish government is to hold a
grand international exhibition in Con-
stantinople, if things can be got ready
for it and if the Russians do not get
down to the Golden Horn by that time.
1t is reported from there that Sultan
Abdul Hamid II, who is an enlightened
and progressive monarch, desires that
the world shall be made acquainted with
Turkeys power, and that the Turks
shall obtain an understanding of the re-
sources of other countries, so that thus
benefits may accrue to his own subjects
and the rest Of mankind. We must hope
that this project will not be interfered
with. The Turkish exhibition in Con-
stantinople will very certainly be worth
seeing, and it is but short trip from
this country to the BoSporus.
After some other shows of lesser i'm
portanco we shall arrive at the universal
exposition in Paris in the year 1900, for
which the French government is already
making preparations. That will pretty
certainly attract visitors from all parts
of the earth.
In the course of time, or let us say
very soon after the opening of the twen-
tieth century, you will perhaps see an
exhibition here in New York. compared
with which all previous exhibitions will
appear trivial.-New York Sun.

1t does not seem to be generally known
that light in the winter time is the chief
agent in the destruction of vegetables
otherwise hardy, and especially light
shining brightly on the plant when
frozen. A cabbage or turnip that is ex-
posed TO the light rots readily, but will
keep perfectly sound if but slightly COW
cred with earth. This principle should be
remembered when collecting vegetables
together in large masses for protection.
1t is often customary to cover such
sets of vegetables with some light ma
terial, such as leaves, hay or straw, the
result Of which generally is simply to
form harbor for mice, which are much
more destructive than the frost itself.
Water has, Of course, to be excluded,
and if the vegetable plants are set close
ly together and covered with boards to
keep out the rain, it is generally all that
is required. Water must be excluded,
or else rotting may result. For this pur-
pose it is good practice to invert vege-
tables. The cabbage especially must re-
ceive this attention. They are almost
always inverted when placed together
under boards or covers for protection,
and, in fact, where no covering at all is
used they will keep perfectly well when
inverted.-Meehan's Monthly.

sudden gust of wind blew off his hat.
He at once took down his hat box and
hurled it after his hat. Then he sat
down and smiled on his fellow pas

The Germans roared with laughter, and

heat. There is no appreciate effect vet
of the pleas on behalf Of the bright
plumaged birds. The hat boxes of the
Princess of Wales have just been peeped
into, and what was seen there may have

Der. On the hats recently made for the
princess and her daughters there are
many feathers, but we are told there are
hone except from birds which are used
for human food. Most of the hats are o.

fashion. One Of the neatest contained

has been introduced, showing that the
