Are the works OF the best modern
literary artists improved by illustra-
ton? Can an artist with his brush
or pen add anything to the well de-
veloped characterization of our sue
cessful novelists. In other words, is
not the literary art of a master amply
sufficient TO portray to the apprecia-
tive, intelligent reader all in his book
that is charming or thrilling or pa
thetic or humorous? / believe that
it is, and also that it is a literary
crime fof the average illustrator to
inject IN unsympathetic personality
into the pages of a great work OF
fiction, of whose creative forces he
can know no more than the reader.
Some of this sort of illustration is
amazingly clever, but most of it is
just the opposite. And does the il,
illustrator really help the writer? Not
necessarily. Often he takes the most
outrageous license with the truth as
written. He sins on the side Of his
picture, never on that of the manu-
script. Sidney Fairfield, in the June
L~ippincott's Magazine.

A Word For Thoroughbreds.

ThereIwas a time, says a successful
poultryman, when / began poultry
breeding as 3 business, that l h~earkened
to the voice of the charmer and bought
common hens at 35 cents each for layers
The first winter | had 40 thoroughbred
hens and over so common ones. To my
surprise. the thoroughbreds laid fully
two-thirds Of all the eggs gathered. /
sold the common stock and vowed that
there should never BIO another common
hen on the place. Our experience is
that of many poultry keepers. In four
years / have known not a single flock OF
common fowls that furnished their
owner a surplus of eggs in cold weather.

Black Minercas.
This breed Of poultry is rapidly grow
ing in favor in this progressive age of
poultry culture as their good qualities
are better known. They are of Spanish
origin, but have been bred for many
years in England. They are the largest
nonsitting breed in existence and excel
as egg producers, both in number and
size of the eggs. They combine two
points that render them specially desir-
able-viz, utility and beauty. They
have large single combs, red face with
pure white ear lobes. ~lustrous black
plumage aud ara proud and majestic.
The American standard weight for
Black Minorca cocks is 3 pounds and
for hens 61a pounds. They are very
hardy, mature early, pullets begin to
lay when o months old and continue
through tho winter. Their abil.ty TO fill

METHODS OF SEEDING.
The Comparative Merits Of Broadcasting
Versus Seeding with a Drlll.

The Comparative Merits Of Broadcasting
Versus Seeding with "a Drill.
There is a strong suspicion samong
many practical farmers that the adYau-
tages of the grain drill for seeding have
been overestimated. American Cultiva-
tor believes that the drill simply as n
soeder has not the superiority over
broadcast seeding that it had when first
introduced, and for these reasons: The
ground is now, with better implements
for cultivation, in much finer filth than
it was formerly the custom TO put it..
If the ground is poorly prepared, the
drill can do the work better than is
possible by hand sowing. 1t will cover
the seed and more evenly than it can be
covered in any other way. 1t also has
the advantage for winter grain that the
seed was deposited in a hollow, with
the drill ridge on either side helping to
hold the snow over the plant
Danger Of covering seed too deeply is
not appreciated as it should be. Drills
ought TO have even wider tires than are
now common, for in going over we'll
fitted seed beds they will sink down too
deeply Rolling with Q heavy roller
will. to. some extent, remedy this evil.
For winter grain the roller should be
used twice or more, alternating with
the drag and finishing with the smooth
ing harrow. On ground $hus prepared
the drill wheels, if broad tired, viii not
sink in deeply, and the tubes may be
set TO put the seed in at very shallow
depth.
This is also good for spring grain,
which is nearly always drilled too deep
ly 1t is indispensable with grain that
has TO pass through winter and spring
with the sudden alterations of freezing
and shawing lifting the soil up at night
and letting it fall when thawed out
during the day. Unless the grain roots
are horizontal and near the surface they
cannot live through such usage. To
have tae grain roots thus the seed must
be covered as lightly as possible for it
to grow, says the authority quoted.
The case is cited of a highly success
full farmer who discards the drill for oats,
but uses it for barley and winter wheat,
as with these he considers a dressing of
phosphate essential to making certain
crop. The fertilizer is best put in with
the seed by a drill. On broadcasted
grain the mineral manure does little
good. The drill will doubtless have the
preference for those who wish to ferti-
lie the crop at the same time the SEED
is But if no fertilizer is used,
and the ground is put in proper condi-
tion, the seed can be broadcasted with
about as much certainty of a crop as if
it were put in with a drill.

TOM MOORE'S FIRST sWEETHEART.
She Was the Heroine of His ''NIary, Be-
lieyed Thee True"

To tho present generation the name
of Mary Duff is known only by tradition
and by Moore's poem, says Edward Box
i'll The Ladies Home Journal Yet her
career reads like a romance 1t was in
London that she was born, in 1894 Her
christened name was Mary Ann Dyke.
When she was scarcely Is, she was
known far and wide as one of the most
beautiful girls of the neighborhood. Her
poverty led her to adopt the stage as a
profession, and she and her two sis
ters, also of great beauty, became dan
GERS at the Dublin theater, where their
singular grace, comelinoSs of face and
person attracted immediate attention
and admiration. Whenever the Dyke
sisters appeared, the theater would be
thronged. And Mary seemed to be the
favorite Of the trio.
1t was the fashion Of the time at Kill
kenny for gentleman amateurs to give
annual public performances for the ben
eft of the poor Of the city, and it was
ON one of these occasions, when the as
sistance of professional ladies from Dub
lin was invoked, that Thomas Moore,
the Irish poet, was introduced to Mary
Dyke and Immediately found himself
passionately in love with her. 1t was in
the play, Fortunes Frolic," that Tom
Moore personated Robin Roughhead and
Mary Dyke Nancy.
The Irish poet became Mary Dykes
very shadow, and after awhile he pour
ed forth his great love for her and offer
ed her his hand and heart But, for
some reason, the beautiful Mary did not
reciprocate the wealth of affection thus
offered her, and she rejected him. 1t
was this which led Moore to return to
his room, and in the midnight hour pen
his celebrated love song, beginning

RETAIL BIRD DEALERS.
Extensive Trade Carried on In New York
Almost Exclusively by Germans.

Almost exclusively Dy 1erhianbs
New York city's extensive trade in
singing birds is carried on almost ex-
clusively by Germans. Not only have
they virtual monopoly Of this very
profitable business, but, furthermore, a
very large part of the bird importations
come from Germany direct The trade
is chiefly with southern Germany. The
most plausible explanation of the prom
inence of Germans i'll this business is the
fact that, above all other qualities, it
requires patience and kindness, two at
tributes in which Germans, and especial
ly German women, excel.
There is in New York q very large
trade i'll canary birds, and during the
period when larger share of the ma
tons commerce was carried on i'll sail
ing ships than is the case now parrots
and cOckatOOs We're dealt in extensively,
though nowadays they have somewhat
gone out of vogue. Much care is neces-
sary in the business of looking after
birds, for they are subject to many all
ments which must constantly be pro-
vided against, and without the exercise
dealer might be swept away in a short
time. The retail bird business does not
require very large capital. The loss of
birds by illness is the chief danger to be
provided against, not the indifference Of
purchasers, for these are never lacking
i'll New York. The ordinary price of a
singing canary is from ST. 80 to $2.75.
The age attained by birds varies con-
siderably-from 3 to 100 years-these
being the maximum ages: Wren, 3
years; thrush, 49, robin, IL; blackbird,
IL; goldfinch, 10; partridge, 10; pleas
ant, 10; lark, IS; nightingale, IS; pi-
geon, 20; linnet, 90; canary, "a; crane,
"a; peacock, "a; sparrow, 40; pelican,
so; parrot, 60; crow, swan and eagle,
100 years. There is much less demand
for birds for ornithological displays in
museums in the United States than in
Europe, and one reason given in ex-
PLANTATION of this is the fact that the
museums of most European capitals are
maintained at the public expense, with
ont private contributions or the need
of any, whereas in the United States
the appropriations for menagerie and
museum purposes are, generally speak
ing, inadequate and have to be eked out
by private contributions. The annual
appropriation for the menagerie in Cen
tral park, inclsding necessary repairs to
the buildings, is only $50, 900. Many of
the animals i'll the park, and some of
the birds, are lent by private individ-
uals. What is true of New York city in
this regard is substantially true of the
other big cities of the United States,
and so the market for rare birds rests
chiefly upon the purchases Of private in
dividuals. New York Sun.
