PRACTICAL POULTRY RAISING.

Fifteen years ago tried fancy poul-
try raising, and, like oil beginners, 1
wanted too many kinds and kept ad-
ding to my stock until I had twelve
varieties, and almost made failure,
as did not then understand, writes
s'Sid." Conger. Some kind and ex-
perienced friend said to me: "Quit
all but two kinds; give them all the
attention 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 separate, mako them roost in
separate places, have all roosting
places movable, and once week turn
the roosts over and coal oil them !;
clean up the houses and boxes once a
week the year through. Give var.
iety Of food-corn, wheat, oats, bar.
ley, buckwheat and table crumbs; also
fresh gr r,vel, crushed bone and green
feed the year through; good clover
hay once week in the houses in the
winter. Quit the soft, fancy feeding,
and give them sensible care, and make
success of the business"
The poultry business is the largest
industry on earth. 1t supports more
people, moro people are engaged in it,
moro papers and journals are devoted
to its exclusive interest, than any
other in the whole world. All this we
can prove if any one should be so rash
rs to doubt it. Hard times will come
now and then, as we oil know; then
the poultry industry fourishes, as peo.
pie turn to that to make living and
improve their stock. Pay close atten-
ton to the details, and find, instead
of tagging monotony, as some sup.
pose, that it is tho largest and best
business in the whole world. Breeders

Pekin ducks have cream-colored
bills and legs, Aylesbury, flesh

When cockerel is n year old he

Taking one year with another dol.
lar net profit per hen may be consid-
cred good average.
Surface cultivation is the great
drouth slayer. Learn how best to do
it; it will pay you we'll.
Use the pruning knife carefully and
thoughtfully. Hit or miss work won't
do if you wish to own successful
orchard.
Did you ever live without fruit,
subsisting mainly on meat? If you
did you need not be told of the
necessity of part fruit diet.
Sometimes hens are found dead
under the perches, while seemingly
fat and in good condition. Often the
trouble is that they are too fat and
die Of apoplexy.
Every one who keeps hens knows OF
one or two or more which are per-
sistent layers. These should be bred
from as they will transmit their good
qualities to their progeny.
During the close, hot days, see that
the supply Of clean, fresh water is con-
stant. If you have any sentiment in
you it will do you good to see the
hens enjoy the drink.
Study the different varieties of
fruits and see which kinds do best in
your location, or like places. If you
do this thoroughly it will save you
much disappointment.

The SpAnislI 1Iul1.

The bulls used for fighting purposes
arc specially selected, specially cared
for class. They are all pedigree ami
mails. Andalusia is, above all, the
district OF the bull. Here, at the age
OF one year, the young bulls are sep.
arated from the heifers, branded with
the owners name and turned out loose
on the plains to graze with others of
their own age.
When year older the young bulls
are gathered together, in order that
their mettle and fighting qualities
may be tested. One OF them is separ-
ated from the herd and chased by a
man on horseback, who, by the skill.
full use Of blunted lance overthrows
the escaping bull, whereupoh another
rider comes in front of the animal
with sharper lance to Withstand the
expected attack.
If the bull on regaining his feet at
tacks the rider twice he is passed as a
fighting animal, but if he turns tail
and runs off he is set aside to be killed
or to be used in agricultural work.
And so with each animal until the
whole herd of the two-year- have
been tested.
Each bull that has stood the test
successfully is then entered in the
herd book, with description of his
appearance, and receives name
such as Espartero, flamenco and the
like. This process of careful selection
goes on from year to year until the bull
is five years old, when, should his met
tie prove true, he is ready for the
arena, and flaming posters appear on
the walls of Madrid or Seville, an
nouncing that Esparto Tor whatever
his name is) will on such and ouch o
date make his first and final appear
ance.
A good "warrantable" five-year-old
bull for the fighting ring costs from
$3.50 to $40O. Buffalo Times.

dens are situated on peaty marshes
that wero once swamps. saysJ. Blank.
The soil on these marshes is black and
rich, and has that soft and spongy
feeling to the hand which indicates
humus, and there seems to be some
element or quality in the Kalamazoo
marshes that makes them peculiarly
adapted to celery culture. My own
opinion is that the porosity of the. soil
and the free supply of water have a
great deal to do with this culture.
For we know that the celery plant
loves a cool, moist bed; it is stunted
by heat and drouth. In dry seasons,
even in favorable localities, growers
elsewhere are obliged to water their
plants.
The Kalamazoo growers raise three
and even four crops of celery per year
from the same ground. For the first
crop the seed is sown in hotbeds early
in February. AS soon as the weather
is warm enough, usually about May l,
the plants are set out. They are
planted from four to six inches apart
in trenches six inches deep, and part
ly filled with manure. The trenches
are from four to five feet apart.
Meanwhile tho second sowing of seed
has been made in seedbed outdoors,
and then the plants are set out some
time in June for the second crop, be-
tween the first rows. After the first
crop comes of, about the middle of
July, the rows are filled with plants
for the third crop. Few plants require
more constant and careful cultivation
than celery. The soil must be brought
to the highest stage of fertility, and
then cropped heavily and successive
ly. The chief object in celery culture
is to get as many salable stalks or
heads as possible, and this can be done
only by proper manuring.
The most successful growers are
those who use constantly the largest
amounts of manure. The celery plant
is strong feeder and requires much
nitrogen. This IS supplied by heavy
dressing of stable manure. The ex-
pense of buying stable manure is o
big item in raising celery. The own
er of one OF the best celery gardens
in Kalamazoo, when asked how he
raised such big crops, said to me: II
found that the celery plants needed
something else besides stable manure.
They should have some phosphoric
acid, and especially potash. Most
growers do not know that consider
able amount of nitrogen is lost when
stable manure lies in heaps exposed
to the air for any length of time. Now
this loss can be prevented by spread
ing kainit over the manure. The cost
is slight, while the saving of nitrogen
ls great. have also found that pot
ash stimulates good growth of the
plants. especially in making finestalks
or heads. This is important with
celery growers, for an acre contains
16, plants, but as rule only 49,
900 or 13, 900 heads will be salable. So
any fertilizer that will help the
growth and quality should be well
coined by the growers. American

Marvellous Story About Clil.Dwellers

A marvellous story is that which
comes from Arizona, where a few
months ago some prospectors in the
Bradshaw Mountains came upon a
,liif-dwe!l ers' village in one of the
most inacc essible canons of that range
the largest village of the kind ever
yet discovered. Several of the houses
we're explored and largo quantities of
pottery and some instruments, evi-
IDENTIFY used for cultivating the soil,
were found. In ono the skeleton OF a
man, not over four feet eight inches
in height, was discovered. The canon
at this place is half mile wide and
shows evidence of having been culti-
vated. If this theory proves to be
true it will throw more light on the
habits of this little known people. So
far as known no other evidence has
ever been discove Of cliff-dwellers
having cultivated the soil.-Atlanta

That belief the Chinese have in the
remedial qualities OF substances form.
ing part OF the human body seems to
be irradicable. Thinking that Euro
peans still entertained the same silly
ideas, led as much rs anything else to
the Tien-Tsin massacres Of twenty-five
years ago. Prehistoric man drank
from a human skull, believing that
the uncanny goblet had certain po-
tency. Not so long ago, the skull OF
a suicide was used in Caithness as q
drinking cup for tho cure of epilepsy.
Even cases have been cited when su-
perstitious people, within the last
thirty years, have dug up bodies SO as
to possess themselves of skulls for the
same purpose. As late as 1878, in the
official pharmacopoeia of the London
College of Physicians, mention is
made "of the skull of man who had
died violent death" For centuries
in the past, for the manufacture of
certain quack nostrnms, notably an
ointment, ground skulls were used.
The medical books of Nuremberg Of
200 years ago always cite mummia-
or the embalmed flesh of mummies-
as sovereign cure for certain dis
eases. The Egyptian mummy was a
specific for one malady, the Teneriffe
mummy for another. Excluding all
other strange substances employed in
carly medicine, there is trace OF can
nibalism in the use of those mumm;c5
substances. 1t has been shown thaJ
cannibalism does not arise in all cases
from hunger, but that to eat human
flesh is religious rite, and favored
by the gods. In some remote manner,
it has something to do with sacrifice.
Describing superstitions, the fact is
cited that to-day Irish peasants use
skulls to hold water in, under the be-
lief that the water thus becomes cura-
tive.-New York Press.

THE PROPAGATION OF ORCHIDS.

A marked popularity of orchids is
tho immense number of seed produced
from single flower; but while they
are continually grown from seed, it
means long years of waiting before the
flower appears. After the blossom
fades, il requires year for the seed
to ripen, q second year elapses after
the seed is planted before it germi-
mates, while the resulting plant sell
dom flowers under FIVE, and frequent
ly not until after eight or ten, years
Of growth. Consequently, orchids
are propagated chiefly by a division
of the root-clusters into individual
plants; while many are grown from
slips and cuttings. Most orchids re-
quire hothouse cultivation; but there
are two in particular which may be
termed hardy, and which can be suc-
cessfully grown in window gardens,
with the care ordinarily given to
house-plants. -Demorest's Magazine.
