Clipped and Condensed.

BEEKEEPING is an aid to fruit-grow-
ing, as the bees assist in fertilizing the
blossoms.
You cannot buy such vegetables as
you can grow. Freshness and quality
are important.
No food will make hens lay like lib
eral supply of wheat in some shape and
a regular ration of green cut bone.
FRUIT trees should not be planted in
the garden, as they will take up too
much of the nourishment from the gar
den crops.
OUT of respect to the bees and bee
keepers, don't spray on the bloom.
You can't afford to poison the little
honey gatherers, for they assist in max
ing fruit.
SOMETIMES hens are found dead un-
der the perches, while seemingly fat
and in good condition. Often the
trouble is that they are too fat and die
of apOplexy.
SALT for cattle is more imp ortant in
summer than in winter. When the
COWS are on grass, salt will be highly
relished by them, as it serves to keep
them in health.
GET a piece of land ready for ensil-
age. 1t is grown at the least cost of all
foods and gives the largest returns in
proportion to cost of anything that can
be produced for cattle-feeding in winter.
TRY keeping part of your strawber-
ries in matted rows, and see how much
more profitable they are than where
they are allowed to cover the ground
and are tramped over by the berry
pickers.
DON'T fail to plant some sunhowers
this spring, for sunhower seeds are the
best single grain for laying hens that
can be given them, and it is surprising
what quantity can be grown in odd
corners.
CARELEssNEss is responsible for
more sickness among poultry than any,
thing else. Carelessness allows lice to
become numerous, and lice are the
worst enemies that the poultryman has
to contend with.
THERE is nothing like clover patch
for the pigs. They will not only keep
in better health on clover than when
confined, but will grow fast and cost
less when they are fed on grain and re-
quire feeding three times day.
ALL swampy lands have been for
ages the deposit for vegetable matter
from uplands. So soon as the matter
is underdrained the water falling on the
upland sinks down to the tile aud en-
riches the soil, instead of washing away
its fertility.
AT Massachusetts, grange meeting
farmers compared notes concerning the
use of barnyard manure and commercial
fertilizers. AS rule, barnyard ma
! nure gave the most satisfactory returns.
The largest yield reported was when
both were applied.
A HEAVY crop of potatoes cannot be
expected unless all the work is properly
done, and the cultivation must be COM
plete. The greater the growth of vine
the better shade they make, and this
keeps the soil cool and moist and is
beneficial to the crop.

and make her bed. AT this time she
should have plenty OF fresh water, and
oats, shorts or bran should be given to
her daily as her chief food. If she is
very constipated and feverish she will
be cross and irritable, and in this con-
dition she will be apt to eat her little
ones when they arrive. This feverish
condition can often be avoided by feed
ing the SOW loosening food for weeks
before the narrowing time, and no corn.
If, however, she is feverish and con-
stipated give her good-sized piece of
pork, very salty, and this will satisfy
the craving. After the litter is here
the pigs should be stirred out of their
nest every morning meal, for it is only
in this way that they can be made to
take exercise. Their warm bed in this
way, is cooled off and made fresher.
At two weeks the young pigs ought to
begin to eat and drink, and in month
they need plenty of milk, so that they
will not exhaust the mother by drain
ing her dry. Drive the SOW at this
time into the pasture during the middle
of the day, and let the pigs get the milk
out of the trough. Later they will en-
Joy run in the field with the old one.
For five months feed the young ones
for lean meat, and then fatten them for
four months, and bring them up to $50
pounds The same care applies to all
other young animals on the farm in the
spring of the year. 1t does not pay to
turn the young animals out into the
pasture early in the spring aud make
them depend upon it for most of the
summer. Young calves turned out this
way come back to the barn in the fall
about one-half the size and weight that
they ought to be. Stable care and good
feed, with a good yard, and access to
pasture fields part of the time, and a
good barn for protection whenever
wanted, either night or day, will give
the best results in bringing up the
young calves. Skim milk, oatmeal,
bran, crushed oats and clover hay are
all good for the young calves, and the
animals develop 80 under this feed that
larger profits are realized in the end.
Even the young lambs need such treai-
ment, although they are not weaned
until some time after grass is here, but
a small feed of bran or oats each day
for a short time will be v ry beneficial
to them. Telegraph.

Practical POultry.Raising,

Fifteen years ago tried fancy poul-
try-raising, and, like all beginners, 1
wanted too many kinds and kept adding
to my stock until had twelve varieties,
and almost made failure, as l did not
then understand how. Some kind and
experienced friend said to me: "Quit
all but two kinds; give them all the at
tention you have given the twelve and
scatter them. Have the small ones in
lots to themselves and the old ones
away from the young. Feed them sep.
arate, make them roost in separate
places, have all roosting- places nova
BILE, and once week turn the roosts
over and coal-oil them; clean up the
houses and boxes once week the year
through. Give variety of food-corn,
wheat, oats, barley, buckwheat and
table crumbs; also fresh gravel, crushed
bone and green feed the year through
good clover hay once a week in the
houses in the winter. Quit the soft
fancy feeding, and give them sensible
care, and make success of the bust.
ness" The poultry business is the
largest industry on earth. 1t supports
more people, more people are engaged
in it, more papers and journals are de-
voted to its exclusive interest, than any
other in the whole world. All this We
can prove if any one should be 80 rash
as to doubt it. Hard times will CONS

the poultry industry aourishes, as people
turn to that to make living and improve
their stock. Pay close attention to thu

ONE HEAD USHER.
The Ways Wherein He Differed From
Others of His Calling.


Others of His Calling.
Tt is as old as the Proverbs that the
cobbler's children are always poorly
shod.
The restaurant man goes home for
dinner, and the bartender is a total alb
stainer.
The druggist may patronize the faith
cure and the railway man knows Of no
greater luxury than ride in buggy.
The street car conductor j. glad to get a
day off, so he can take a long walk
A more remarkable case than any OF
these is that of the head usher at the
theater. and one theater i'll particular.
Probably every playgoer i'll Chicago
knows him. The title of "head usher
does him an injustice. He is more like
host or the chief of a reception commit
tee.
There are head ushers who pounce
upon you. grab the coupons, thrust them
back into your fumbled hands and shout,
First aisle to the right!''
There are other head ushers who tell
you to hurry up or step lively. They
give loud warming that all coupons must
be ready.
They shout, Hey, there!' and are
constantly distracted because of the i'm
mense responsibility which they imagine
is resting upon them.
As soon as a snippy young man gets
into box office or is engaged as an
usher, he begins to imagine that he
owns the house, the company and good
part of the frontage in the block.
But the exceptional head usher Is
calm, polite, attentive and solicitous.
Nomatter how rapidly the crowd may
pour in, it seems that every one who
comes receives some courtesy at his
hands.
He doesn't shout or grab and the
small children are not afraid of him.
The most remarkable thing about this
model master Of ceremonies, however,
is that lie knows very little about actors
or plays.
The other evening, when the house
was crowded and the performance was
being received with noisy approval, a
man who came into the foyer between
acts remarked to him, well, it's a
funny show. -

sE PIuribus Unum."

The circumstances attending the
adoption of the legend "E Pluribus
Unum' as the motto of the United
States have never been fully explained
by the historians. 1t was probably used
on coins-and some say upon early
colonial fags-long before it was regu-
larly recognized by the leading officials
of the new republic. The Oldest coin
bearing the motto in full is a colonial
cent coined by New Jersey in the year
1883. The same year it appeared on a
small medal recognized among the col
lectors of coins as 1.-The confederate.
This medal was a national token, l be
heve, and was coined by authority of
the general government. 1t bore on one
side 18 stars and blazing sun. the lat
ter surrounded by the word "ConfedeT
alto, which gives it the name by which
it is known to the numismatists
The words in the headline are un-
doubtedly from Virgil's Moretus, a
poem devoted to a description of a GER
tain salad In the rhyming recipe he
gives instructions for mixing the proper
herbs and pounding the same i'll a NOR

TRICKlNG A CRAB.
African Natives Take Advantage of His
Industry In Heartless Manner.

African Natives Take Advantage Of His
Industry In a HeartIess Manner.
In Africa there exists certain mem
Der of the crab genus commonly known
as the great tree crab. This peculiar
ghellfish has an offensive trick of
crawling up the cocoanut trees, biting
off the cocoanuts and then creeping
down again backward.
The theory is that the nuts are shat
tered by the fall, and the great tree crab
is thus enabled TO enjoy hearty meal
Now, the natives who inhabit regions
infested by this i'll conditioned crab are
well aware that the lower portion Of the
crabs anatomy is soft and sensitive, and
they believe that the "bivalve" was
thus constructed in order that he night
know when he had reached the gIound,
and when. consequently, he might with
safety release his grasp Of the trunk.
So what they do in order to stop his
depredations, which often ruin the CO.
coanut crops, is this: While the crab il
engaged in nipping of the cocoanuts
they climb half way up the trees and
there drive row of long nails right
around the tree, allowing an inch or 80
of the nails TO project.
The crab has no knowledge Of disas
ter, nor yet the fitness Of things. As he
descends the sensitive part Of his body
suddenly touches the nails. Thinking he
has reached the ground, he naturally
lets 60 Instantly he falls backward and
cracks his own shell on the ground
