An incident Of the recent race be

who went out from Kalispell to join
the chase was young man who had
been in bad health. He was suffering

open air would do him good, and that
II he happened to get shot by the out
laws it would only hasten the in

On the day before the fight he
thought he would take a walk up the
railroad alone. The air was cool and
bracing and the outdoor life had
already accomplished more for him
than physic had ever done. So he
started. A couple OF miles from
where he left the party he saw pile
of railroad ties alongside the track.
The idea struck him that that

think the larger the patch the better.
or course the thinness of the cloth
near the hole will have something to
do with the size of the patch, but
when three-cornered tear is mended
take piece exactly matching the
check or stripe of the garment, and
just large enough to leave space
equal to the fell taken on the other
side between tue hem and the run !;
then on the right side make n cut in
each corner equal to the depth of the
fell, and much squarer, neater patch
is made. If wooden garment, it
should be dampened and the fell
thoroughly pressed with u moderately
hot iron. A patch should never be

in managing poultry 1t is on the

Sell from the young stock, and do
not sacrifice fowls and turkeys which
have proved satisfactory, unless very

Give the fowls all the skim milk
and buttermilk you can spare. They
will return it to you in the form of
eggs.
Rolling or hilly land is the best stu

wATER-CREss CULTIVATION.

In answer to inquiries, the Farmers
Voice gives the following directions
fer growing water-cress Water -cress
requires clear running stream and n
gravelly soil. The roots should be
planted in the spring of the year in
sloy-running streams, where the water
ls from three to eight inches deep.
When the roots are well established
the plants will rapidly increase, and,
by their natural process of seed-sow-
ing and spreading of the roots, they
will soon cover the surface of the
stream. When planted the rows
should be planted with the course of
the stream and about eighteen inches
apart. The plants should always be
cut, not broken off, as breaking them
off is injurious to the plants. After
they have been cut off two or three
times they will begin to stock out or
thicken out, and then the oftener they
are cut the better. When raised from
seeds they should be sown on the mar
gin of the stream, and when of suitable
size transplanted into it, where it is
an inch and half or two deep. The
most suitable time for sowing is in the
months of April, May and June. There
are said to be three varieties of water
cress-namely the green-leaved,
which is considered to be the easiest to
cultivate; the small brown -leaved,
which is thought to be the hardest,
and the large brown,leaved, which is
said to be the best for deep water.

HOTBED MAKING,

The work of selecting the place for
the hotbed and cold frames for start
ing early seeds should not be post
poned any longer. 1T takes some time
to make the beds and fill them with
the right soil. The farmer who does
not make use Of frames for starting
his garden vegetables ought not be
classed among progressive farmers.
The seasons are too short for us to wait
until spring before sowing our seeds.
Gy the time the ground is ready for
sowing our garden plants are several
inches high, and by transplanting them
from the frames to the open ground
We save month or more. In this
way raising two good crops in one sea-
son on one piece of ground is made
easy. The earl ly plants are also the
ones that bring the most money, and
those raised in the frames always bring
in more returns to the farmer than the
ones sown III the open ground during
April and May. Many prefer the
plants grown in frames first to those
planted later in the field, as they have
stronger roots and stalks, making it
possible for them to resist dry weather.
q The hotbeds should be constructed
right away, for there are some slow
terminating seeds that ought to be put
in the ground very early, 1t takes
time to gather and mix the right soil
for the beds, and there will be many
days when the ground will be frozen
too hard to dig any soil for the beds.

SMALL FRUITS.

Now it is time to apply manure to
blackberries, currants, raspberries and
other small fruits. 1t should be sca--
tered broadcast at the roots of these
plants, which should run over consid-
erable territory. Autumn and winter
are the most favorable seasons for
spreading the manure, since the rains
and SHOWS of winter can distribute the
fertility through every portion of the
soil much more cheaply and effectively
than man can with the best of tools
for the purpose With the so-called
hardy varieties of fruits winter pro-
lection, even in quite northern lati-
tudes, does not appear very general,
and yet, without doubt, this is the
true plan.

HOW TO FEED MEAL TO A COW,

The best way to feed meal to a COW
is to cut hay and wet it only as much
as to make the meal adhere to it, and
mix this with it, adding a small hand
ful of salt with each feed. The meal
is then more completely digested than
if it were given by ITSELF in which
case 1T is apt to pass on to the third
stomach and miss the rumination,
which is necessary to the perfect di-
Sestion of q cows food. Five pounds
Of cut hay and three quarts of corn
meal will make full single feed for a
COW giving ten or twelve quarts of
milk day. 1T is not desirable to try
to feed q COW for milk and fat both, as
the food is then apt to be diverted to
at only, and the milk may decrease
in any but speciallyg gifted butter
or milk animal. Some cows will shrink
IN milk as soon rs they are fed dry
meal or shorts, and turn the food to
desh and fat. Such COW is not profit
nble i'll dairy. The best milk and
butter COW is one that is not easily
fattened, but turns the food to these
most desired products, and keeps thin
as long as she is milking. New York

by severe winters, even when plants
are not killed outright by the changes
of temperature, protection would
more regularly be given. 1t is quite
simple thing to cover the roots of
plants several inches deep with leaves
or hay just after the ground has begun
to freeze, and thus prevenj the alter
nate freezing and thawing which prove
so injurious. In addition, raspberry
vines should be bent down and COW
cred partially at least. Winter winds
harm the canes to considerable ex-
tent.
Opportunity is offered to establish
new plantations until the ground
freezes and puts an end to such opera
tons. In transplanting remove fully
oEe-half the canes and set out well in
mel-owed soil; cover with deep mulch
and protect the entire plants as we'll as
possible. If spring work will not be
too pressing the plant may be secured
now and ''heeled in to be in readi-
ness for setting early next spring.

GREEN FEED AND PURE AIR FOR POULTRY
1t should never be forgotten that
poultry need some kind of green food
at all seasons of the year In winter
there can be given them cabbages,
chopped onions, or turnips, occasion
ally varying this diet with short late
dried hay. Poultry also relish corn
stalk leaves, if chopped fine. In the
early spring time, when the ground
first softens from the frost, grain and
other seeds should be thrown into the
pens, and unless they are kept in the
open, they should have a plentiful
supply of it daily. For young chick
ems, nothing is so beneficial and so
gateful rs a run upon newly-grown
grass. Grass torn up by the roots is
eaten by hens, it is true, but not with
that advantage or relish as when they
can pluck it standing. Some poultry
keepers sprout oats i'll boxes of earth
and allow their birds to eat off the soft
excellent winter feeds, and about the
cheapest to be obtained 1t may be
that the fowls will not take to them in
raw state; if so, the roots may be
cooked, mashed, and mixed with bran
and meal. Next to a plentiful supply
of green food, ventilation is the most
important item to be considered in
keeping fowls healthy. More fowls
have perished for the want of perfect
ventilation than from any other cause.
One of the best and simplest plans to
let pure air into the poultry house is
to have hole in the floor about six
inches wide and several feet long, and
covered over with wire netting, which
is left open in summer and kept Gov
cred up in winter. With a CORE
spending opening Mt the top, this will
admit the fresh air from the bottom,
and also allow all heavy gases to es-
cape. It is the most perfect system
that can be devised for admitting pure
air to poultry houses, and it is, at the
same time, the cheapest and most
easily arranged. Sunlight, pure air,
aud green food make poultry profit
able, but lack of them brings disease
and consequent loss. American Agri-
culturist.
