What Farmers Owe to Indians.

The American farmers who first
settled this country learned much
from Indian cultivatOrs OF the SOIL,
There was no corn grown IN Europe
until it had been introduced from
America The Indians had several
varieties, including pop corn and
sweet corn. They had also some ex-
celIent peas and beans, and our best
modern varieties were improvements
on the stock which the Indians sup
piled. They had also pumpkins,
squashes and melons. Fish as a
fertilizer was an Indian discovery.
The fish too fat and oily for food
were used as a manure, dropping a
fish in hole dug in the ground,
covering it with q little earth, and
planting the corn over it. We make
better fish fertilizer now than this,
getting rid Of the oil, which has lit
tie manurial value, but the idea OF
using fish as manure had never Oc-
CURED to European farmers until
they found it practiced here.

Glover is not only more suitable
as summer food for poultry. owing
to its bulky nature, compared with
corn, but it also is more nutritious
as it contains Il greater quantity OF
the substs- 70 required for the pro-
duction CT eggs. The lime for the
shells is procured when in a soluble
form in the food, as it must pass
through all the stages and processes
of digestion and the more soluble
the mineral elements the easier and
more completely they serve the pur-
poses of the hens. Glover hay con
tains over thirty times more limo
than does corn or wheat, and the
green clover, though containing
more water. is comparatively as rich
in lime as the hay. Glover is also a
heterogeneous food and supplies the
clements necessary for the albumen
of the egg. When the hens have
access to clover they will eat a large
quantity during the day, and II m
sect3 are numerous their W ants Will
be fully supplied. II it is desired to
allow grain to the flock it should be
fed sparingly and only once a day.
Dry clover moistened with warm
water and cut up fine is good winter

NOT IN ANY WAY A FAILURE.

The Peoples Palace" In London De-
Tended by Walter Besant.
A report was recently started by
English newspapers thas The PeO-
pies Palace" in the east end Of Lon
don was a failure, This is the insti-
tuition which was suggested to the
philanthropic people of England
by "All Sorts and Conditions OF
Men," the novel written by Bcsant
and Rice. The rumor, which has
been printed in some American pa
pers, is denied by Besant ns follows
in the London Queen:
There is not in any single depart
mcnt of the palace that | can dis
cover. the least note Of failure. AS
regards the educational side, the
evening classes are crowded. There
are classes in science. trade and
workshop, engineering and building
special subjects for women There
are about q hundred of these classes,
with students numbering ncarl7
1000 There is practical day
school for boys numbering 400. There
is a students circulating library, and
there are social and reading -rooms for
the students. The palace possesses
gymnasium, which is one of the
finest in the country. Attached to
gymnastic exercises are "studies"
in single stick, club and boxing
gloves. On two days in the week
the girls have the gymnasium for
themselves. Well, but how about
the recreations OF the palace? Let
us take list of the amusements for
one week. Monday, a costume re-
cital of The Daughter OF the Regi-
ment;" Tuesday, girls annual swim
ming entertainment for women only;
Wednesday, students night; Satur-
day, popular ballad concert On three
nights in the week the beauti-
full winter garden is open from 6 to
10 p. m. AS for the clubs and socie-
ties that belong to the place, there
are many-cricket, cycling, football,
ramblers, swimming, tennis, rowing,
photograph, sketching, and boxing
clubs. The library receives an
average OF 1900 visitors day; it has
all the newspapers and journals; it
has about Is, 900 volumes, and it has
recently been enriched by Harry
Cutters donation of the "Wilkie
Collins" Collection of Fiction. In
short, the palace is busy hive Of
working and playing bees. 1t is a

Curiously enough, it was their first

rs he was warm admirer of female

M#FN q V was uncOmfOrta-
.X#>@aO bic. Dave Hilton
III w was a general IA
vOritc, q fine. man
Ell ", deserving fell
q G. M low; and the only
If IN weak thing that
he had ever done
was his falling ii
love with Kitty.
She was a hand
some girl, blonde and stately, with a
fair. sweet face bearing no trace of
craft or evil in it; but, heartless and
utterly incapable Of loving any one
but herself, or Of approaching the I'M
selfish devotion that was offered her,
she led Dave on through a whole sum-
xaer, suffered all his attentions, went
out only with him, might even have
married him, if George Maryatt had
NOT presented himself at that time as
a suitor.
As his expectations were greater,
Kitty threw over Dave without
slerupYe: even assumed look Of
establishment when he referred to the
encouragement that she had given;
WAS very gentle, very sweet, very cold
ana utterly ineXorable.
I never saw man so thoroughly
beaten down as Dave looked the
morning he left US He had lost not
only her, but his faith for a time IN
women; for he could not yet reason
cooIly and say:' Not that all women
are false, but this one deceived me.
MY judgment was in fault"
The indignation was intense; for we
were all personal friends of Dave,
and Kitty's cold serenity and utter
absence of even twinge of remorse
was infinitely provoking. She was SO
wise, however, so quiet, so patient,
and had such childish ways, and,
above all, was so marvelously pretty,
that the men could not do less than
DC civil to her; and as she cared moth
ing whatever about the girls, they
found their Indignation thrown away,
and co-1forted themselves with the
reflection that at least she had not en-
trapped George Maryatt, who had
gone away to the West without pro-
posing.
Kitty, however, took her defeat
philosophically, and just at this
iuncture came down Paul Danforth.
His arrival was surprise to all and a
mystery to me; for early in the sum-
naer he had sketched his summer
campaign and the 'Pines" had by no
means entered into his calculations.
He was an intimate friend OF Dawes;
Ut was to him that Dave had gone on
leaving us; and, duly weighing all
Gllese considerations, could not but
wonder what evil angel had sent him
zmong us.
From the first Kitty was not q little
struck by his appearance; for he was
not man to be lightly esteemed.
Not handsome, but with face capable
of an infinite variety Of expressions,
&rperbly formed, possessed Of tact
almost womanlike, deep melodious
voice and brilliant eyes; not the man

Farm Notes.

Keep charcoal in the hog pens.
Plant no more land than can be
well cultivated.
Never permit the glib-tongued
stranger to get your name to paper
or his hand on your pOcketbook.
The Australian horse market Is
glutteG. In fact the depression
seems 20 extend all over the world.
1t is eevident that more common
sense tlhust be used in breeding
horses Il the industry is made profit
able.
People like young, tender, lean
meat better than old, tough, fat
meat, and it will pay to cater to the
public taste.
Save all your manure, even if your
ground is rich. Manure never did
any soil harm, if it was the right
kind of manure.
Hire the best help that can be
found and pay it what 1t is worth.
One good competent farm hand is
worth two or three incompetents.
Plant no seed without testing it in
a box Of soil set in a warm place. 1t
is little trouble to do this, and will
often save vexatious disappointment.
Ex-Governor Hoard said at the
Ohio agricultural convention that
he wants to see the day when there
will be no more than one-half as
many COWS as there are in existence
now and every cow twice as good.
When there shall not be more than
one-half the number Of COWS on the
same farm and every cow twice as
good. That will bring profit. He
