WASHINGTON, May l2.-Recent ad-

report a popular demonstration at
Caracas, in which II, 900 people gathered
10 the support of President Crespo's s
policy. The demons tration centered at
the yellow House," which is President
Crespo's official residence, similar to

meant as ratification OF the Presidents
course in obliterating party lines and
forming Cabinet from all The political

purpose being to harmonic all factions

has proven very satisfactory, as the dem

no direct bearing on the British-Ven

good enough to have tempted the grow

they could not have utilized it as they
did, and thereby lessened the market

it would have been put, we say blessings
on the man who Invented the evapo-

common use in New England soon.
They save fruit that would go to waste

them will stop the artificial bleaching
of their evaporated apples the product
will soon be more popular. While

Is Wild Parsnip Poisonous q?

l.. H. Pammer, of the Iowa Agricul-
tural College, says, in Garden and For
est, in regard to poisoning cattle from
feeding on wild parsnip: 81 have
looked up with considerable care cases
of poisoning, and have yet to learn of
case of fatal poisoning from parsnip
running wild or wild parsnip,' PaSti-
noca satiua. 1 have requested speci-
mems, and have asked to receive infor-
nation of authentic cases, but they
have not turned up. We have the best
of evidence that the plant is not poison
Gus. No one can question the evil
dence introduced by Professor Fred
erick B. Power, whose careful scientific
work along the lines of pharmacy is
well known. Professor Power failed to
find any poisonous substance in 'pars-
nips running Wild; boiled roots fed in
considerable quantity to cat showed
no symptoms of poisoning. His asso-
ciate, DR.. Cramers, insisted upon eat
ing one-half of raw parsnip which was
sent to him from West Salem, Wis,
and which was supposed to cause the
cases of poisoning in question, but no
i'll effects followed. Again, DIR. Brown
of Sheboygan, Wis, had prepared
enough wild parsnips for good din
ner, which he ate, and, if l remember
correctly, his whole family ate of it,
but without any ill effects. Now, these
parsnips had been running wild for
fifty years. 1 have myself eaten raw
parsnips running Wild but could OBJ
serve no ill effects whatever. 1 have
been trying in a limited way to dem
onstrate the non-poisonous properties
of parsnip, and that people should es-
pecially guard against Cicuta n,aculatd.
I believe it is largely a myth that pars-
nip is poisonous. 1t is possible that
some people may have peculiar idiosyn-
craeies for parsnip, just as for celery,
but to call the plant poisonous is a mis-
take"

Profit of Butter-Making.

There are two ways of increasing the
profit of butter-making. The first is to
buy the best of thoroughbred cows, and
build warm, comfortable stables for
them. Then learn what is the exact
ration of food best suited to produce
milk rich in butter-fat, and furnish it.
Next, learn how to make butter of the
highest quality, and try to find mar
ket for it at fancy prices. The other
method nearly reverses the process.
Learn how to make good butter, and
there will be but little trouble in finding
good market for it, which will i'm
prove and increase in demand as the
product obtains a reputation among
buyers. This is good time to study
into the matter of the rations best
adapted to butter production. BY this
time there will be, or should be, an in
creased profit that will warrant The pro-
viding of better buildings, and when
they are ready, and the knowledge of
the best methods of handling the ami
mails and their products has been &C.
CURED, then one may safely attempt to
keep the better breeds of stock. The
first method may be the one adapted to
the ambitious capitalist, who is able
and willing to pay for the teachings of
experience, but the latter is the most
sure if the slower method of the one
whose capital consists principally of
experience and good judgment, and
who has not money to spend or credit
that he cares to risk. There are many
instructions given in the agricultural
papers for breeding herd of thorough
bred cows, but we see none for breed
ing the thoroughbred dairyman. Per-
haps, like poets, they are born, not
made" but, until they are made or edu-
Gated to their work, much of the benefit

To Keep Hen in Good Condition.

To keep hen in good condition for
laying she should never have full
crop during the day. 1t is not wrong
to give light meal of mixed warm food
in the morning, in the trough, but
such meal should be only one-fourth
the quantity the hens require. They
should go away from the trough unsat-
isfied, and should then seek their food,
deriving it grain by grain, engaging in
healthy exercise in order to obtain it,
and in such circumstances the food will
be passed into the gizzard slowly and
be better digested. Gradually the hen
will accumulate sufficient food to pro-
vide for the night, going on the roost
with full crop, where she can leis-
urely forward it from the crop to the
gizzard. Feeding soft foods leads to
many errors on the part of the beginner,
causing him to overfeed and pamper
his hens, and by it they will reach
condition that is entirely antagonistic
to laying. 1t is much better to feed
hard grains only than to feed from a
trough, unless the food is carefully
measured. A quart of mixed ground
grain, moistened and in crumbly con-
dition, should be sufficient for forty
hens as "starter" for the morning.
Two quarts of whole grain should then
be scattered in litter for them to seek
and secure for emselves.-Farmer'
Guide,

But the oldfasboned barn. with its doors open wide,
And the winds that go rollicking round 1t inside.
And the twitter of swallows far up in the caves
And the lHter of grasses and the rustic of leaves
Drifting in like a laugh from the sprng.time,
Is good enough, plenty, for me.
Take soft April day. with the clouds low and dun,
First splashing of rain. then flashing of sun,
The swish of the fall or the tanning mills roar,
Or the horses athreshing out grain on the floor,
The hens clucking round in the loft overhead,
The lamblxins that froc about In the shed.
The cattle all dripping and patient that wait
Allowing and calling outside of the gate,
Such feeling of shelter and comfort comes then;
My barn seems palace, king among men.
Take the hour of rest in warm, sunny noon,
And the of the hay that drifts in with the June
And the children at play swinging up to the beams,
Or diving in hay with their jublant screams,
And the song of the birds in the orchardb by,
Or thetwilight, perhaps, of a day In July,
When the wagons toll over the bridges more,
And topple their bundles of gold on the floor,
And cool breeze springs up in the VESTS rosy sea-
My rest in the barn is the sweetest to me-
Take a cool day in autumn, all golden and brown,
The NAPLES in crimson, the leaves falling down,
The haze blue sieve through which powdered
beams shake,
The apples all ripe and the cider to make,
The earth from the cellar, like odor of sweets,
On turnips and wurtzels, and carrots and beets;
Such pumpkins and squashes and ctrons, you feel
You taste the preserves and the rich candied peel
Gods gifts in such plenty; the men tell yarn;
But have my Thanksgiving out here in the barn
Take day about Christmas, with plenty of snow,
Old Boreas whirng it hither and fro.

Sawdust In Manure.

A correspondent of the Country Cen
tleman says that while rotted sawdust
probably possesses little fertility, there
are two purposes for which it may be
used that give it great value-as a
mulch and as an absorbent. He SAYS,
further: "The fact that it is we'll rotted
adds to its value for these purposes, as
the crude fresh sawdust often contains
acids which might injure some plants;
but these probably have been elm
mated in the rotting process. If 1 had
access to supply of rotten sawdust,
l should use it to mulch fruit-trees,
grape-vines, raspberries, blackberries,
ETC., and should expect excellent results
from it, and l would put good supply
of it under cover during dry time in
summer, and use enough of it in the
horse and COW stables to take up all the
urine, and in this way save this most
valuable part of the manure, and at the
same time keep the stalls clean. / al
ways use, when L can get it, some fine
bedding, that will save the urine, and
since l have cement floors in my sta
bles the manure is much better than it
formerly was, for there is no waste at
all. In stables foored with plank, with
open cracks, and straw for bedding, a
good deal more than half the value of
the manure is lost. Even when straw
is abundant to use for bedding basket
full OF sawdust each day in stall helps
save the most valuable part of the ma
nure and to keep the stables sweet and
the stock clean. AS a mulch, this rotted
sawdust will serve two good purposes
it will keep down the weeds and will
conserve moisture, and greatly reduce
the labor of keeping the orchard and
berry patch clean. and increases the
yield greatly in dry season. On a
clay soil should expect good results
from blowing in coat of this sawdust,
and would on such a soil use it in the
hill with potatoes, but would drop the
seed and cover it lightly before apply
ing the sawdust."

to produce than it will sell for. The

test the matter, and, feeding eighteen
