Using Poultry Manure.

Poultry manure is an excellent plant
food. Poultry-keepers who have their
fruit and vegetable gardens should
aim to save every particle of it. 1t is
one of the strongest and best fertiliz-
ers known. Its full value depends on
how it is kept. As more droppings are
produced at night, the greatest supply
will be where the fowls rooSt.
The roOsts should be so arranged
that the droppings will fall on the
platform. Cover the platform about
one inch. deep with some kind of alb
sorbent. Dry soil or plaster is gen.
orally used. The main point is to save
the ammonia. Poultry manure parts
with its ammonia very rapidly during
the summer months.
If the manure is to be kept in the
best possible condition it should be
collected every day, early in the morn
ing while it is damp. as much Of the
ammonia is lost during the process of
drying, and the longer it is exposed
the less valuable it becomes. Pack
the manure in barrels and keep it unde
cover. Keep it moist, not wet, by
sprinkling it with soapsuds from the
family waShings. If kept damp it
will retain all its ammonia, and the
insoluble portions are reduced and rem
dered more available as plant food

HonoluIu's DaIlies.

That Honolulu has large number of
newspapers for city of its size is at
tested by correspondent, who says in
a recent letter: 1--WE have four English
dailies and two in Hawaiian; besides
these there are two Hawaiian weeklies
two Japanese and two in Chinese" He
relates peculiar incident connected
with the burial of a native, which re-
suited in libel suit against one of the
papers Thich printed an account of the
funeral. Two doctors had attended the
deceased, and while one had pro-
nounced him dead the other said he was
in a cataleptic state and would recover.
The relatives were divided into two
factions, one of which insisted on his
burial while the other objected. At
the end of ten days certain symptoms
indicated that the spirit must have fed,
but the antiburial faction still refused
to yield. A compromise was finally eff
fected, the native being inferred in a
sitting posture, with his head above
ground.

Feed Regularly.

1t is not good plan to keep food be-
fore a flock of hens all the time. If
this is done they will get fat and lazy,
and not take enough exercise to keep
them in laying condition. 1t is the
best plan to have a fixed time for feed
ing fowls, especially at night, and not
feed them at irregular intervals. If
they are fed at about the same time
every evening they will soon learn
when to come for it, and will be con-
tent until that time. If feed is thrown
to them at all sorts Of times, they will
come rushing around you as soon as
you make your appearance, and a-good
many of them will stay close to the
house all day, in expectation of being
fed. The best way to feed hens in
summer is 10 feed them in the MORN
ing and again just at night, and not
give them anything to eat between
times. If kept confined, they will be
fed at noon, of course.-Farm News.

The Hessfan Fly.

Owing to the prevalence and de-
structiven of the Hessian fly this
year, concerted efforts should be put
forth to prevent recurrence of it's
ravages upon the next wheat crop. In
order TO prevent a serious attack of
''the fly" the following measures
should be adopted:
Thoroughly burn all liy-infested
wheat stubble in which there is not a
stand of young clover or grass. Pre-
pare very early border, one or tGo
rods wide, around each field of wheat,
and SOW the same to wheat in August.
Turn this border under very late,
using Il Jointer, following with roll
and harrow and then SOW the entire
field.
BY taking this course. many of the
insects which escape the fire will be
burned when the early-sown border is
turned under, and late sowing of
the general crop will avoid earlier
attacks of any remaining y.''-Farm

ATHLETIC YOUNG WOMEN.
Taking a Fancy to the Sweater, Which
Becomes Them.

AaKlng FANCY to the Sweater, Which
Becomes Them.
Many swell sportwomen devoted to
athletic amusements, as yachting,
cycling, rowing, golf, and tennis, have
adopted the English sweater. A woman
with a fine form shows up extremely
well in a sweater, which clings to the
figure without a wrinkle. Garnet, red,
navy and royal blue, black and cream,
are the favorite weaves, some fancy
and others plain and ribbed. They are
put on over the head and fastened with
small bullet buttons on the shoulder;
others are laced with a silken cord on
the side; the most perfect fitting ones
are ribbed like the top of mans hose
for about the depth of five inches at
the waist line; this adjusts them closely
to the figure; the sleeves at the wrists
are treated in the same manner says
New York Herald. The full-topped
sleeve, which subscribes to the fashion
able craze, is stylish. Although the
sweater has it's drawbacks, there are
many arguments in it's favor, and for
boating, cycling, fishing, etc., it is emil
nently well adapted. The sweater has
an air of jaunty independence, and is
natty, becoming, and comfortable. The
athletic girls who are fond of wearing
quasi-masculine garments have adopted
the sweater with effuson. 1t is safe
to predict that the wearing of the jer-
sey will follow, than which no more de-
lightful garment was ever invented.

A Paralytic Cured.
His Grandfather, q Revolutionary Sol.

Paralysis, Yet the Third Gener-
alton Is Cured The Method.


alton Is Cured The Method
From the Herald. Boston, Mass)
Like a thunderbolt from a clear sky,
a stroke Of paralysis came to Mr.. Frank
L. Ware, the we'll known Boston auc-
tioneer and appraiser. at 235 Washing
ton street. He went to bed one night
about six years ago seemingly in robust
health. When he awoke his left side
was stiffened by the deadening of the
nerves. The interviewer sought out Mr..
ware to get the facts. He gave the in
teresttng particulars in his own way:
The first shock came very suddenly
While was asleep, but it was not last
was able to be about. A few months
after, when exhausted by work and
drenched with rain / went home in a
very nervous state. The result was a
second and more severe shock, after
which my left arm and leg were prac-
tically helpless.
MY grandfather, who was a soldier
in the Revolutionary War, and lost an
arm in the struggle for American indie
pendence, died finally of paralysis. My
father also died of paralysis, although
1t was complicated with other troubles.
and SO had some knowledge of the ia
tai character of the disease which is he
reditary in our family. After the sec
ond shock 1 took warming, for, in all
probability, a third would carry me off.
Almost everything under the sun was
recommended to me and / tried all the
remedies that seemed likely to do any
good, electricity, massage and special
lists, but to no effect.
THE only thing I found that helped
me was Dr. Williams Pink Pills, and
verify believe that if it hadn't been for
those pills 1 would have been dead
years ago.
Eyes, L still have a slight reminder of
the last attack six years ago. My left
arm is not as strong as the other and my
left foot drags a little, as the paralysis
had the effect of deadening the nerves.
But I can still walk a good distance.
talk as easily as ever, and my general
health is splendid. am really over sew
enty years old, although am generally
taken to be twenty years younger.
1.-The Pink Pills keep my blood in good
condition, and 1 believe that is why
am so well.
Mr.. Ware has every appearance of a
perfectly healthy man, and arrives at
his office promptly at eight o'clock ev-
cry morning, although he has reached
an age when many men retire from
active life. He says that in his
opinion both his father and grandfather
could have been saved if Pink Pills had
been obtainable at that time.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale Peo-
pie contain all the elements necessary to
give new life and richness to the blood
and restore shattered nerves. They may
be had of all druggists or direct by mail

from Black lake, on the south side OF
the st. Lawrence, the source Of the re-
ports has been transferred to Lake
Wayagamack. situated between the

visited by so many American anglers
every summer. The truth of the last

and by two guides, Mercier and March

worthy OF confidence. The three men

large bubbles rose to the sur
face, the water became foamy, and then
there appeared at the center OF the
troubled expanse an enormous snake
like head. This was followed soon by
long sinuous body, fully three feet
In circumference and seventy-five feet
long. Mr.. Roy stopped fishing. AL
though the canoe was some 200 yards
from the monster. the occupants could
discern plainly the open mouth. the
glittering row of teeth, and the vicious
eyes. The creature evidently was dis
composed by the presence of the canoe,
Tor 1t Immediately gave vent to series
OF Missing sounds, reared it's crest, and
thrashed the water with its tail. Mr..
Roy ordered his men to return to camp.
Bending to their paddles, they made
the little craft spin toward the shore.
The serpent rushed after them. When
the canoe grated on the beach Roy
hastily disembarked He ran to the
log camp and secured his rifle. Taking
as careful aim as the excited condition
OF his nerves permitted, he fired shot
after shot at the reptile. One shot
only seemed to take effect. AS it struck
the serpent it gave a louder hiss than
usual and sank out of sight. The lake
near shore soon after became discolored
with blood. Roy and the guides re-
NAMED watching for hours, hoping that
the dead body Of the monster would
rise to the surface. They were doomed
to disappointment. The incident has
given rise to great excitement among
the scattered people of the St. Maurice
region, and some of the older inhabi-
tants recall legends of long ago when
Lake Wayagamack was believed to be
the home of a water demon.

SOME FARM TOPICS.

Some Sensible Observations About
the Sheltering of Farm Machinery
"A Portable Fence-Shade for

To get the most out of the machin-
cry purchased for use on the farm it is
very essential that when not in use it
should be placed under good shelter.
But to keep in the best condition stor
Ing is not all. for. unless properly pro-
tected, the iron and steel will rust and
the wood rot: for this reason it pays
to keep all well painted.
Iinseed oil with Spanish brown or
red vermillion or ochre, mixed to
proper consistency, makes a good
paint for all kinds of good work in
machinery, while there are number
OF good universal paints made espe-
cially for iron and steel. But in all
cases before any paint is applied all
the dust should be cleaned off.
AS soon as the other farm work will
permit all of the implements should be
gathered up and brought TO the tool
house and a thorough cleaning up be
given, and, if necessary, q good coat
of paint applied.

by changes in the weather and by
dirt, damage machinery, in many
cases, nearly or quite as much as the
work done by them.
The iron or steel working parts
should be well covered with llnsalted

applied as a little coal oil or turpen-
tine will readily clean off when the
tools are ready for USE
A little care taken now will save a
considerable loss as well as considera-
bic work and time, also. when the i'm
plements are needed for use next
spring.
Another item should be looked after
in storing away the implements, and
that is to put away so that they can
be got at conveniently when needed.
Flows and harrows are generally first
needed in the spring, and then the
corn-planters, cultivators, and lastly,
the binders, mowers and sulky rakes.
A little pains taken in storing away
will save considerable work when the
tools are needed in the spring.-N. J..

A remarkable story comes from Ber-

by one, presumably the injured hus-

Eject. of OIL Meal ON Butter.

Linseed oil meal tends to produce
soft, oily butter and to impair it's fla
yor. Cotton seed oil tends to produce
a hard, crumbly butter, and is more
Objectionable even than oil meal in the
matter of favor. Ho ye7er, limited
quantities of either do not produce
very material damage, but do tend to
considerably increase the product,
especially when the protein contents
of the balance of the ration is low.
The oil meal is an excellent stomachic
as well, and seems to promote diges-
ton. 1t has a mildly laxative effect,
and therefore tends to overcome the
binding effects of dry winter fodder.
Cotton seed meal does not act this
way.-Hoard's Dairyman.

Rye for Pasture.

We have had high appreciation Of
the value of rye for pasture in the late
fall, early winter and spring. We have
also found rye quite the most desira-
bic grain with which to sow grass
seed. The drought of this summer
makes the question of fall and winter
pasturage one of great importance in
many sections of the country. If the
dry weather continues it will be diff
cult to get satisfactory growth of
any crop. Rye is. of all The grains
usually grown, the most hardy. 1t
withstands drought WE'LL is much less
liable TO injury during the winter, is
relatively less injured by trampling
or grazing. starts growing early in the
spring, may often be pastured several
weeks in the spring and then allowed
to grow up. making fairly good hay. if
cut green, or giving reasonable yield
of grain. Or it may be plowed under
IN time for n corn crop. One other
POINT in favor of rye is that it will lie
ON or in the soil for a long time with
out much injury, growing readily
when the conditions become favorable.
The value of green food in the late
fall and early winter is very great.
One strong argument in favor of en-
silage is that this more closely resem-
bles the succulent food of summer
than any other of the common articles
of stock food. Many farmers will find
no other so cheap and easy node of
securing green food as by sowing rye
as early as may be this fall Where
corn has been cut for feeding or where
early varieties are cut for ensilage or
dry fodder. the ground may be sown
to rye with comparatively little pre-
paration, although, of course, it should
be in good condition These plans.
however, would usually prevent the
sowing of rye as early as is desirable.
Flowing stubble ground or using land
that has produced a crop of early pota-
toes VIII be advisable in many cases.
We believe it would be a helm to orr
agriculture if the acreage of rye was
considerably increased.-Prairie Farm
