Their Yacht Thumped by Whale.
From the Boston Journal.

FROM the Boston journal
John S. Mason, Harry Buckley and Mr..
Packard of Providence, had an exciting
experience with a gigantic whale off the
Isles of Shoals last Wednesday night.
Mr. Mason, while at Portland last week,
purchased the cutter yacht Pristis, and
was returning with it to Marblehead.
Messrs Buckley and Mason We're asleep
below about midnight, when the boat re-
ceived a blow that stopped her Roadway.
Going on deck they saw a gigantic whale
off the stern.
Mr. Packard, who was on the watch,
was paralyzed with fear but finally found
voice to tell his story He felt the jar,
and looking up, saw the whale come up
directly beside the cutter. Turning, it
struck the boat, and later the tender,
which was trailing When the crew an
chored at Marblehead the tender, which
received the hardest blow was covered
with oil. The escape is regarded by the
crew as miraculous for had the levia than
struck the craft fair blow it must have
demolished it.

A Good Reason for . Morp,ox N.p.

1t is claimed that one OF the reasons
for the undisturbed morning sleep es-
pecially for children and delicate and
nervous persons is based on well-un-
derstood scientific theory We are told
that the vitality OF humanity is at its
lowest ebb between two and half-past
three in the morning. This being the
case, it would naturally require some
hours to restore the equilibrium. It is
very easy to see that If the cares of the
day are taken up before this is secured,
the individual would start in handi-
capped by certain lack of force.
Where the rest continues uninterrupt-
edly until the voluntary awakening,
1t stands to reason that the system Is
In much better condition to perform
its allotted task. So important to the
well-being Of the individual is this lit
tie understood and scarcely appreciat-
ed quality that we call vitality, that II
is well worth while to see to it that
every condition Is made as favorable a.
possible. To this end, undisturbed
rest, with the best surroundings, is q
thing to which good deal more atten-
ton should be paid.-N. Y. Ledger.

Oat. and Pesa for HAY.

l find oats and peas superior to clover
hay as winter feed for cattle and
horses. May l, 1894, sowed eight
acres of oats and common white field
peas, mixed, broadcast, one and one
half bushels of each per acre. This
gave me heavy yield. cut 1t when
oat heads first began to ripen, cut and
put it up in hay cocks same as clover
hay, covered it with hay caps, let it
lay exposed to sun and air about three
hours, then stack it. My hay rack was
sixteen feet long, seven feet wide;
hauled in twenty-five large loads from
the eight acres.
l prefer this to cover hay for milk
cows, as the milk and butter are in.
creased, and it answers for both hay
and grain. Horses and cattle eat it in
preference to any other hay. 1t is bet
ter for horses than clover hay, as it is
free from dust. My stock fed on this
are all in good condition, with glossy
coat of hair. The oat straw in going
going through the sweat, takes the
sweetness from the peas. Atthis writ
ing the pea pod is very sweet.
l can not recommend this feed too
highly, and would advise farmers to
try it on their soil, as the pea issecond
to clover for nitrogen; as fertilizer,
the manure is rich in carbon and pot.

HERE AND THERE.

An adage for the sheep raiser:
"Throw physic to the dogs" and let it
be of the most drastic kind,
"A given measure contains more
weight when the individuals contained
in it are large. A bushel Of large DO.
tatoes weigh more than bushel of
small ones.
The man who can convert his feed
into marketable meat in the shortest
time is the man who will make the best
profit. 1t will not pay these days to
spend year in doing six months work.
On many farms it will pay better
to feed all the surplus milk to pigs and
calves than to make it into butter.
Distance from market and ability to
turn out the best butter, are conditions
to be considered.
"A hundred bushels of potatoes
stored in cellar in fall will weigh out
about eighty-three bushels at planting
time next spring. They lose in bulk
in the same proportion.
To stop the advance of the army
worm all you have to do is to turn your
hogs on the advance column. They
will eat them up in wheat or any
other field and not touch the plants. =

Every merchant and manufacturer

aged.
Every farmers boy knows all the
tables Of weights and measures "by
heart" but how little these are used on
the farm. Even the size Of the farm
itself is . matter of uncertainty, de-
pendent upon an old and unyerified
deed or the books of the assessor.
There is no accurate knowledge of the
size OF the various fields or their
actual product; it is all guess work.
The farmer gusses which cow gives the
most, and guesses which is losing
weight and which gaining, and guesses
which gives the most milk in a
year. and guesses which milk is
the richest, and SO guesses at the
merits and profits of all his stock,
with very little actual knowledge as
to any, and making frequent serious
mistakes which are never known. And
in the house they guess the cream is
just warm enough to churn, and guess
it won't pay to become patrons OF the
creamery. It is wonder that clocks
and watches are ever used in such
places, instead of depending upon the
sun and guessing at the time of the
day in cloudy weather.
A tape line, or surveyors chain
in foot lengths is an inexpen-
sive article. and every farm should
have one and use it, that the
size OF every field may be ac-
curatly measured and recorded, and the
exact average Of every crop known, not
guessed 1t. And to apply the ordinary
prudence and system to ones business
affairs, the farm equipment should in
clude scales Of such capacity and va
riety as to enable complete record Of
everything going into the barn or
storehouse. and Of everything con-
sumed or sold. In place OF estimates
and rough guesses there should be a
correct record of almost every occur
renee on the farm which involves time
or quantity; product, purchase or sale.

that he was fully informed of the

surroundings could make upon her.
