KILLED A HUNDRED BIRDS STRAIGHT
Remarkable Feat OF Captain Brewer TO
Decide a Wager.

New York, April 2S.--At Dexter Park,
Long Island, one of the greatest pigeon
shooting contests on record was decided
on a wager that Captain Brewer could
kill 80 out of 100 picked pigeons, at 80
yards rise, 80 yards boundary. Cap
tain Brewer killed 100 birds straight.
The birds were of the best, being quick,
strong and very fast.

INTERVIEWED AS To NICARAGUA
Governor Budd of California Is for
Twisting the Lions Tail.

San Francisco, April 28-Governor
James H. Budd, democrat, in referring
to the Nicaraguan difficulty, says
1.-THE United States should never have
allowed the British marines to set foot
on Nicaraguan shores. We should have
demanded that England submit her
claims to arbitration and we should
have forced her to do so. If diplomatic
protests were not needed there should
have been American marines in Cor
into to prevent the invasion. The Mon
roe doctrine expresses the policy of the
United States, as it does the sentiment
of its people, and this is a violation of
the spirit of that doctrine. No Euro
pean country can be permitted to get
into a position to control the Nicar-
aguan canal, and it would have saved
trouble in the future If our government
had drawn the line there.
Let war with the United States be
the consequence OF aggression on this
continent, and there will be no aggres-
sions"

taste or artistic intellects, yet Her
Majesty's creams are popularity regard
ed by the British public with feelings
akin to veneration, in spite of the fact
that they are foreign-bred, and not ex-
actly a very sorty lot. Apropos Of the
aforesaid creams-which, as all the
world who is interested in horses proba-
bly, Is well aware, hail from Hanover
it may be said that the Herrenhausen
stud, whence they come, likewise pos
sesses a strain of pure white Royal
horses, a great popularity amongst
which lies in the fact that they are as
white as milk when foaled, and do not
grow lighter in coat, as is the case with
the ordinary grey horse, with increased
age. The pure white foal which was
on view last week at Darlington was
quite lusus naturae, especially as, be-
ing dark in eye, there can be nothing Of
the albino about it; but if scientifically
bred from. it will be interesting to learn
whether it is or is not possible to found
strain of white horses. Greys are still
fairly plentiful, but breed Of whites
might be worth encouraging, as, beyond
all question, there are plenty of persons
who buy horses who would be attracted
by the rarity Of the color.

mails. According to careful computa-
ton, It costs thirty dollars and sixteen
cents per acre to get the crop into the
ground and up to harvesting point, then
something like eight dollars additional
is necessary to gather the crop. It Is
hard work to grow beets. A gentleman
who has made study Of their culture
gives the following facts about them:
This is a peculiar crop. 1t cannot be
raised in a slovenly fashion. It means
work; it means intelligent, painstaking
labor. It requires much higher order
of intelligence to grow beets than It
does for wheat or corn. Every acre
planted in beets means twenty days
labor for one man. If two million acres
Of land are needed to supply this coun-
try with sugar. it follows that forty mill
lion days labor could thus be given to
the laborers Of the United States. It
would also mean the transportation Of
twenty-six million pounds freight for the
Industry"

Her sting consists Of five extremely

Small Farms and Egg Raising

In such departments as egg-raising,
all the advantage rests with the small
farmer. A correspondent Of provin-
cial paper, who has knocked about the
continent with his eyes and ears open,
noted while there that the poultry kept
by the peasantry rarely get any other
food than house scraps and what they
can pick up for themselves by the road
side. Every egg represents, therefore.
80 much clear profit, whereas the big
farmer would have to pay for both food
and attendance. But the cottager
would make very little out of his poul-
try keeping II he had to take his pro-
duce to market, perhaps some miles dis
tant. On the continent that terrible
loss Of time is saved by the travelling
factor, who goes round a big district
with his van, calling at every cottage,
and taking away what eggs have accu-
INFLATED since his previous visit. It
is true his prices are very low, but
the money is paid down on the nail, and
goes straight into the family treasury.

New Uses for Aluminium.

Aluminium has proved a great disap-
pointment to those who were enthusiast
tic in bringing it before the public. In
stead Of the durability and strength,
hardness, and general adaptability that
were promised, it is almost a failure
when used in its pure state for many
purposes. It lacks the tensile strength
and rigidity that were supposed to be-
long to 1t, and in many other ways falls
far short Of the standard originally set
for it. AS a combination metal 1t is,
however, Of great value. Among its
uses is that Of making horseshoes spe-
cially designed for racing purposes and
lighter uses. Fine particles OF extreme
ly hard steel are mixed with the alu-
minimum and form q wearing surface Of
great durability. The combination
makes very pretty, light shoes. which
for certain kinds Of work have proved
very satisfactory.

dice against chestnuts is gradually fol-
lowing the fate of many other ancient
superstitions, which ordained that the
animals possessed of this shade of coat
were either Incorporate or soft, or both,
whilst it never seems to have entered
the minds of the detractors of this
splendid color that the shade of ches-
nut varies from almost brown to the
very lightest tinge of gold. Still, it is
strange to say, it is quite enough to
describe horse as a chestnut to get him

lieved to be confined to animals Of the

writer can scarcely be expected to

surgeons bills he ever had to pay were

Of the same still rankles his mind.
Browns, though sombrelooking, are
generally popular, but scores OF other
wise sensible persons are unacoount-
ably prejudiced against blacks, which
some consider unlucky, and others are
convinced are vicious. Greys, in which
there is steady tendency to grow
lighter in color as their age increases,
are seldom favorites either with master
or with man. for when they are cast
ing their coats they disfigure the cloth
ing Of the former, whilst their liability
to be stained in the stable causes extra
trouble to their grooms. Still, grey is
q good, sportsmanlike color, and the
wonder Is that 1t is not more popular
with country gentlemen. Bay, Of course,

Garded being perhaps more a matter Of
fashion than Of the intrinsic merit pos

AZ In planting or setting out various
other kinds Of vines and plants, there
seems to be no particular time when
1t is absolutely necessary to have the
vines set out. The cranberry vine is
very hardy. and will live, even with a
good deal of hard usage. When a marsh
has been prepared in one summer the
owners frequently wait till the next
spring before putting out the cranberry
vines. From April till June is sup.
posed to be the best time. Fall plant
ing is practiced by some. but it Is
doubtful If there be much gain in this
over waiting for the next spring. When
only a part of the ground is to be
planted, that part should be planted
that is the highest. leaving the wetter
portions for the work of spring.

This plant is much noted and cul-
tivated in England and France. It is
said to be native to England, but that
its culture began first in France, where
it was doubtless named. 1t is especially
fitted for limestone soils, especially
where the limestone comes to within
three or four feet of the surface. The
chalk districts in England are the scene
of extensive culture of this plant, as
the chalk is but one form of lime. 1t
does not do we'll where there is no
lime.
When young and tender sainfoin will
not endure the cold, but after the Sec
ond or third year it becomes more
hardy. There are many parts of the
United States where limestone soils
abound and where this plant would
doubtless prove of great value.
Where it is cultivated in England it
is allowed to remain four years on the
same ground, after which the ground is
put into other crops for a period of
four years. When the sainfoin is to be
put onto a piece Of land it is generally
sowed with oats, the sainfoin seed be-
ing put on at the rate of four bushels
per acre. 1t Is frequently pastured for
the first two years after being sown, as
the first and second years do not gen.
orally yield large crops Of hay.
On soils well-suited to its cultiva-
ton, it will grow for six or eight years,
when 1t will be driven out by weeds
and grasses. Flowing the land after
sainfoin is difficult, as the roots are
large and tough.
Sainfoin should be cut at blossoming
time whether it is to be used for soil
ing or for hay. It is very liable to be
damaged by rain, in curing, as the
stems are hollow. The aftermath makes
good feed for horses, sheep and cattle
The seed ripens in July, but as the
lower part of the head natures so much
earlier than the upper, and these seeds
are larger and more plump. 1t IL best
to harvest them when the lower ones
are fully ripe, as they will become liable
to be shaken out and lost II the heads
stand until the upper portion Is ready
to harvest.
