GUINEAS ON THE FARM.
They Are Profitable because They CoSf
Almost Nothing to Raise.

They Are Profitable Because They CoSf
Almost Nothing to Raise.
Guineas prefer to seek their food in
the fields, and they seldom come homo
for food as long they can find a supply
themselves As rule they mate, and
it Is best, therefore, to have the sexes
equal. The hen steals her nest, but
cannot refrain from making a noise
when she comes of, which betrays her
10 the watchful farmer. Guineas are
valuable on farms where the range Is
wide, as they destroy avery large num-
Der of insects and do not scratch up
seeds In fact, flock of twenty gum
cas- will consume a number of insects
so large as to almost appear incredible,
as they are active and always search
ing. They also consume grass and
young weeds, as well as the seeds Of
undesirable plants and grasses. The
hen lays about 125 eggs In a year, es-
pecially II they are taken from her be-
fore she begins to sit. The flesh Of tho
guinea is rather dark but juicy, and q
"gamy" flavor. They may be raised
to remain near the house by placing
the eggs under hens and few chicks
to the brood when the young guineas
are Matched. They will learn from
the chicks and soon become sccus-
toned to the same habits as the chicks,
growing up with them. The eggs re-
quire four weeks for incubation, and
are usually Matched under hens in the
poultry house.-Prairie Farmer.

The selection of Seed Corn.

Perhaps never in the history of this
country have the farmers been more
solicitous for the proper selection of
their seed corn. The subject is dis
cussed at almost every farmers meet
ing and in nearly or quite every news
paper devoted to agricultural matters
II is very evident that well-bred seed
,orn is to be desired quite as much as a
well-bred horse, sheep, COW or hog,
and that those who are the most care
full in it's selection will, as rule,
make the best crops. Deep blowing
and shallow cultivation is now very
generally recommended and advocated.
Even in droughty season, if not too
extreme. good crop can be made and
secured with frequent shallow cultiva-
ton. 1t conserves the moisture be-
meath the surface because acting as a
mulch.-Colman's Rural World.

The Man Who Make. Money.

1t is not from the extent of sne's
farm that money is made, but from the
labor that is put upon it All profit
comes from labor. Even a gold mine
is valueless without labor. But labor
unaided by intelligence, is of little
value. True, the hand of the dill
gent maketh rich" but diligence in
wolves intelligence, and thisis obtained
by industry; by reading and study; by
observation and experiment, and by
aptness to learn. One man thus
equipped will make more OFF a farm OF
100 acres than another can off one Of

Special Washington Letter.l

Congressman John Allen, of the First
Mississippi district, is regarded as one
of the brightest, wittlest and most en-
tertainirg orators in the house Of rep
resentatives. Whenever he is accorded
the floor he has large audience in the
galleries, and the members always con-
gregate about his seat and pay the
closest attention to his remarks. This
is not only because Mr.. Allen is an able
and fluent talker, but because every
one who ever heard him knows his I'M
common power of illustration. He
holds the attention of his auditors, and
they have learned to expect a good
anecdote from him whenever he speaks.
And they usually hear at least one.

Place the tops of the branches down
stream, as shown in the cut. Over all
place a good covering of straw or some
other coarse material to prevent the
earth from sitting into the drain. II,
as is likely to be the case, this brush is
constantly immersed in water, it will
last for many years, and do the work
required most effectually.
When the ground has become settled,
stone or tile drains should be substi-
tuted for the brush. If stone is used,
it should be remembered that the
bitches must be deeper than if tiled,
since in filling the drain the top of it
will come nearly foot nearer the sur
face than the tile drain, and it might
become INSTRUCTED if mice and other
vermin are present, by their digging
down to the top of the drain, and al
lowing the earth and silt to sift into It.
Stone drains, if well laid. as shown,

paste on the flesh side about y inch

deep, will stand perfectly, and to all in
tents and purposes are as good as tile.
Since the only expense OF the brush
drain is in labor, it all depends upon
the financial side of the labor ques-
ton. By all means, beginning at the
lower end of the marsh, try some of
these drains, placing them at the most
not less than 30 to 40 feet apart, if the
land is to be thoroughly and effectually
drained.
OF course the brush will rot in a few
years if the supply of water from be-
meath does not keep them fairly well
submerged, but this is not likely to be
the case, since in such ground the
water oozes from the bottom, and
since the passage through the drain is
slow.
Poles and even cordwood are used
under such circumstances with sue
cess. With the former throat can be
made of fairly good size, which in some
respects will look like the stone drain
shown.-Country Gentleman.

Partially Starved Brood - the caass a
the Trouble. =,

~ !
A writer in American Bee Journal
says: "For several years I warned the
bee-keepers in times Of sudden checks
In the honey flow to look well attet
their bees, and either uncap honey IN
the brood chambers in the evenings, or
feed so as to keep the colonies well
supplied with unsesled stores Brood
is always well fed when the colonies
have abundance Of unsealed stores.
But If check takes place so as to stop
a honey flow suddenly, while colonies
have a large quantity Of brood on
hand, the bees will use up the unsealed
stores very soon, and then the bees
won't uncap the sealed honey fast
enough to keep pace with the amount
of brood that requires feeding. Soon
after that the small Larvae viii b9
found looking like little dried worms
In the bottom of the cells without 9
particle of food. In some cells ready
to cap, will be seen some of this
starved brood, with a brownish color,
lying on the lower side OF the cells
and turned up little. Some of the
capped brood dies through not being
fed enough to last until Matched. And
some of the bees that do hatch out Of
this scanty-fed brood win be q day OF
two longer in Matching, and when
Matched some of these bees viii be
dark in color and scarcely able to fly!
And when the owner sees the bees Of
the same hives in some cases killing OF
these useless bees, he will be apt To
think them old, wOrn-out bees that ara
being killed off II the bee-keepes
would see that his colonies Of bees had
plenty of unsealed stores while brood
rearing is going on, he never would be
troubled with this state Of things IN
the apiary." J.
