Senator CafEery, of Louisiaan,
does not believe in promiscuous
handshaking, Notwithstanding it
has been always a much.honored
rule of politics that a man must
shake hands with everybody if he
would not be irrevocably lost in
the breakers of constituency scorn.
But Senator caffery long ago put
off the cloak of tradition, and choos-
es to be sociable without this sense
less way of greeting Tom, Dick and
Harry.
Some one has computed that there
are nearly 100000 dogs in the
United States. IF this is SO, the
New York Tribune feels it is with
in bounds to say that half the num-
ber of dogs could do the work.

Breaking the News.

1t is related that it once fell to an
West Virginia man to break the
news to woman that her husband
had been killed. aDo You know" !"
he said, calling at her house, "that
with your light hair and pretty
complexion you would break every
heart in town If you dressed as a
widow?' She bEushed and laughed.
aAnd you are one" he added.
aYohr husband was just blown TO
atoms down in the boiler works, but
then black is SO becoming to you. 2

Tanning n Wild Svan.

While Mr.. E. G. Pendleton OF
Washington, D. c., was hunting
wild turkeys in the mountains of
Virginia, $500 feet above tide mark,
he saw large white swan stumbl-
ing along over the ridges nearing
the summit of the highest peaks.
The day was extremely foggy, and
the swan evidently desired to get
above the heavy mist before starting
off in its fight. When within thiry-
five yards the hunter fred, only in
tending to wound the bird if posi-
BILE. AS luck would have it, only a
few shot took effect in the neck,
and, running forward, he caught
the swan up in his arms and carri-
ed him to the foot of the mountain,
placing him with a tame goose in
his pond on his beautiful preserve
there. The wounded neck soon
healed up and the swan seemed
quite contented with his lot. He
became perfectly tame, in a short
time answering to the call of the
keeper and running along with the
tame goose to be fed--Forest and
Stream.

An average Senatorial funeral will
cost the Government, or rather the
people, $500 for transportation,
s4O0 for the casket and an addition
al $50 for the undertakers work,
$3.50 for the local undertrker at the
place of interment, 500 for fow-
ers, $3.50 for supplies for the Con-
gressional Committee en- route, $50
for hotel bills. Then thsre may be
such extras as a choir or a special
organist at the church. Altogether
a respectable funeral costs the Gov
ernment close to $1,000. If the
Senator to be buried is from Cali
fornia, the expenses can easily
reach $4,000 or Sc, 900. Sometimes,
as in the case of Mr.. Stoekbridge,
the Senator dies at or near his own
home. Then the Senate simply
sends committee to attend the fu-
neral.

Cigarettes have been analized by a
New York chemist, and five ingredi-
ents were found, each one of which
is calculted to destroy life. First,
there is the oil of tobacco; next the
oil in the imported paper, which is
nearly as destructive; third, the ar
senic introduced to make the paper
burn white and add peculiar flavor;
fourth, the saltpetre put in the to-
bacco to prevent it from molding,
and fifth, the opium that is sprayed
on the tobacco to give 1t the insidi-
GUS influence which it possesses
over the brain. 1t is worse than
the forked tongue of a poisonous
viper, yet men and women delight
in its use until they become matiat-
cd, degraded, loathsome, vitiated
and destroyed.-Ex.

Quite large number of the hens
will moult this month, and they
will cease laying. If they have a
good range and dry quarters they
will need little care. If they droop,
however, it means that the rapid
production OF feathers is facilitating
and they should have one good
meal day, at night. For twenty
hens mix one pound bran, one OF
cornmeal, half a pound of linseed
meal, tablespoonful salt and the
same of sulphur. Feed as a stiff
dough in troughs and remove any
portion left over.

When grass or clover is sown in
the Fall the seeding should be done
early enough for the plants to get a
good start before severe cold wealth
err sets in. Unless this is done
many OF the plants are apt to seri-
ously injured, ii not entirely killed.
After they get well established,
grass plants will stand a good deal
of cold, but when young and tender
they are easily injured by freezing.
Whether grass should be seeded
in the Fall or not depends a good
deal on the time at which the work
can be done and on the condition
of the soil. Grass and clover seed
are small and require little cover
ing, but the fact that they are small
makes it necessary that the soil
should be we'll prepared and fined.
There must, also, be moisture
enough in the soil TO induce a good
termination of the seed and a
thrifty start to grow, else it will be
no use to SOW the seed. If the seed
must lie in the ground any length
of time for lack of moisture it
would be better to have them out of
the ground than in it.
If the seed fails to terminate
promptly the advantage of early
seeding is lost, and it would have
been better to have postponed the
seeding until Spring.
1t will pay to use plenty of seed
and to distribute it evenly, so as to
have good even stand.
Unless you are growing seed for
market, it is usually best to mix
the seed rather than sow any one
kind alone. Red clover will be
all the better for a little orchard
grass mixed with it. The two
ripen at about the same time.
Mammoth clover and timothy can be
sown together for hay. For pas
ture it is always best to use variety
of grasses in order to have the best
results all through the season.

1t has been demonstrated that a
strong box or hogshead may be fill
ed with cut green corn or clover,
heavy pressure applied, so as to
keep out the air, and serve admira-
bly, as a change in the Winter. 1t
is better to have place prepared
for such food, however. The green
leaves of corn fodder fastened into
small bundles and cured are ex-
cellent, if cut and stepped lin boiling
water. The Mirror and Farmer says:
Crops of potatoes and turnips are
serviceable the small potatoes espec-
tally, as we'll as the imperfect heads
of cabbage. The mistake in feeding
hens in the Winter is that the food
is too concentrated. They need
bulk food, the same as does the COW,
and any material that can be stored
away at this season for that purpose
will be found useful later on. Ducks
will not thrive unless they can have
something more than the regular
diet of grain. They are naturally
grass and fish eaters, caring little
for grain, and will, in the domestic
state, show their preference for
bulky food of some kind.
The cheapest mess for ducks and
geese is composed of cooked turnips
thickened with bran, and sometimes
cornmeal. This is the food used in
large establishments in which duck
lings are raised for market. Such
food is excellent for all kinds of
poultry, and if there is an addition
of cut clover, scalded, the mess will
be improved. Twice week pound
of linseed meal to the food of TWEEN
ty ducks will also be beneficial.
Now is the time to do something in
the way of looking out fer the Win
ter supply of bulky food. 1t matters
not what kind of food it is SO that
it serves to avoid the continual use
of grain alone,

The true lavender plant, says
Emily Holden in the Examiner,
which has a flavor of sentiment
about it, as well as a delightful fra
GRANGE, is grown in large quantities
in some parts of England, notably
in Surrey. 1t is a native of south
ern soil, but can be raised under
favorable conditions as far north as
Norway. This country produces
comparatively little, the climate
not seeming we'll suited to its
growth. The plants are obtained
from cuttings, and in their second
year at the best age for cutting
from. In August the flowers are
gathered from which to distill the
oil used for perfumes, which is
much finer than that obtained from
the stalks of the plant. Bunches
of lavender have been used from
time imnemoiial for scenting
household linen, and there is ira
dition that the ancients used the
leaves and flowers to perfume the
bath. The color of lavender, a
pale, blush purple or lilac, is famil-
lar to us in many articles of wear
ing apparel, and takes it's name
from the color of the flower.

FARM Notes.
Among the Poultry.

Poultry seldom tires of milk.
Save some millet-seed for feeding
young chickens.
Keep all hens that moult early.
They will be the first to lay.
In raising early broilers for mar
ket a good incubator and brooder
is necessary.
Red pepper is temporary slim
ulant and increases the appetite for
a short time only.
Nothing will more effectually
prevent a hen from laying than an
exclusive diet of cornmeal
The early Matched pullets may
be kept for laying, but for breeding
a sufficient number of old hens
should be kept.
Whenever fowls lay soft eggs
give them plenty of lime and green
food. A variety of food is essential
to health and thrift.
If ducks are Matched out late,
good care should be taken to secure
a vigorous, thrifty growth before
cold weather sets in.
1t is usual for some breeds to
moult lighter each year, and what
may be supposed defects are only
natural to the breed.
Wheat and buckwheat are con-
sidered the best grains for eggs.
Barley and oats are best to induce
a good growth and development OF
bone and muscle.
One of the greatest troubles in
feeding poor grains is not in the
loss as compared with good grains,
but in the fact that overheated or
musty grain causes many diseases.
When fattening a turkey do not
keep it confined more than a week
or ten days or it will lose flesh. Tur-
keys are too restless when deprived
of their liberty and often refuse to
eat.
At this time see that the turkeys
come home regularly at night. The
best way to bring them is by feed
ing a liberal ration of whole corn
every night, all they can eat up
clean.
The only way to dry-pick chick
ens or turkeys is to pick them as
soon as they are killed, while the
body is still warm. If the picking
begins as soon as the fowl is killed
the feathers come out easily and
rapidly.
On the farm where a variety of
fowls is kept it is not good economy
to winter over too many. Poultry
requires good feed and care. A
small number given good treatment
will pay better than large number
