FACTS FOR FARMERS.

MI crops that mature in short time
need the most favorable conditions of
soil.
Jefore spring work opens go over
the fences and see that they are in good
repair.
Two essential points in securing a
good oat crop are early seeding and u
tine seed bed.
Now is good time to renovate tho
orchard and fill the vacant places with
good varieties of trees.
Too much care cannot be exercised
IN selecting thoroughly healthy and
vigorous animals for breeding pur.
poses.
1t is principle well settled in the
practice of breeding that high fca
animals cost but little more to the pro-
dncers than low fed stock.
Unless warm, dry quarters can bo
provided for the brood sows and their
young pigs there is no possible adyan-
tage in having them fartow early.

WHISKY FROM POTATOES.

Energetic Rival.

Energetic Rival.
The enormous oyerproduction of po-
tatoes last summer will probably result
in the establishment of potato dstil-
leTies in Wisconsin, Minnesota and
Michigan. where the tubcr can b.
bought for five cents n bushel or less
Potato whisky is made anG consumed
on large scale in Germany and Aus
tria, and every traveller in Ireland is
offered n sample of ''poteen." Few, e,s-
cept the natives, ever have the courage
TO do more than look at it. However,
small quantities of '''poteen' are inn
ported into the United States, and stuff
bearing that name, and probably equal
ly as effective as the genuine, can be
had in every city.
The American distillers have not ex-
pcrimented much with potatoes. They
say the potato flavor is not relished by
men used TO the Kentucky, Maryland.

$4,000 plant is being erected at

proves successful corn win have a for
Iaidable rival. 1t is estimated 207 ,00O.-
600 bushels of potatoes were sold or
housed jast year, compared with 170,-
100000 bushels in 1894 Many states
not specially adapted to potato raising
went into the market, and as a result
potatoes are now selling here TO ped
diers at 10 or IL cents bushel, and
choice stock is going in small lots at
70 cents. 1t is believed the planting

GENEALOGICAL seARcHERs.
They Spend Hours In the Libraries Trao-
Ing the Family Tree.

The attendance in the public libraries
are kept busy these days by horde Of
callers who have suddenly developed
mania for genealogical research. In
fact, says the New York Herald, it seems
to have become fad TO trace the family
tree. The cause of IL is not easily ex-
plainable. 1t is possible, however, that
circulars calling for heirs to large for
tunes, scattered broadcast by many law
yers throughout the country, may be re-
sponsible for this fad.
The seekers look carefully through
the old books, records and histories,
and every little clew found therein is
coveted with avidity. There have been
rare cases where sorne startling and i'm
portant clew has been found, but they
are few and far between.
One of the library attendants told me
that many of the genealogical callers
were young men, who think a good
family tree may help them along in the
world, as he expressed it. However
that may be, the fad. If it is really o fad,
is by no means flippant, as it opens the
avenue to much interesting and useful
information and instructs the searcher,
even If his own wish for family Informal
ton is not gratifed.

MOUNTAIN LIONS ARE WARY.
CALIFORNIA; King of Beasts Is seldom
Captured by Hunters.

The sending of an order to Los
Angeles for two live specimens of Cali
fornia or mountain lions by the
municipal park commission OF Paris,
France, has aroused among the people
in this region a new interest in these
specimens of the fauna of the coast
range of the Pacific coast. The Partisan
authorities say that for long time they
have wanted several of the California
lions in their menagerie, and have so
far been unsuccessful in their efforts To
get them.
The beast known up and down the Pa
cific coast and west of the Rocky noun
tains as the California lion il known
il South America and the West Indies
as the puma or cougar. 1t is closely
allied to the yellow catamount or
panther family. The California CT
mountain lion is simply an immense cat
1t combines the cunning agility of the
cat with the ferocity of the tiger end the
strength of the Asiatic lion. No Amer
lean wild feline eXcels it in size. About
90 of the brutes are killed in southern
California each year, but there are
scores of men who have spent consider
able time in the mountains and WIN
have never seen a mountain lion. There
are sand to be more of the beasts in the
mountains between California and
Lower California than any locality in
this region.
The mountain lion whelp makes an
attractive pet until he gets so large rs
to be formidable in strength That
point reached, while still amiable to-
ward his master, he becomes unsafe for
strangers to approach, and his fierce
predatory instincts are invariably dis.
played toward animals which are his
natural prey. Until these instincts be-
come manifest, which usually occur
when the whelp is about year old, he
is as playful and gentle as a kitten,
and his soft, violet eyes give no warning
OF latent danger. The cubs are born
with faint markings of bars and spots,
which disappear soon after their eyes
are open.
The most important characteristics
of the California lion resembles those
of the feline. 1t sleeps by day ia Sc.
Guided spots in the mountain canyons
and caves and prowls at night for food.
There is scarcely case on record o: q
lion seeking food abroad in the day.
time. 1t has the slow, crouching and
noiseless movements of the cat, and in
yariably steals upon it's victims. 1t has
never been known to attack a man CT
beast in fair, open way, as the bear
CT the wild beasts of the tropics. The
eyes of the California lion are exactly
like those of the cat in color, form and
the dilation in darkness. 1t has the pa.
tience of the cat in waiting for it's game,
and has the same quickness and agility
the very moment an opportunity of cap
ture presents itself. 1t is coward, and
will run miles to avoid human being,
hut if coinered it turns with ferocity
and madness upon any pursuer-San
Francisco Chronicle.

lINSEED OIL CAKE.
Why American Farmers should Feed 1t
Literally to Their Stock.

l4lDerally 10 IncT StOck.
Not q pound of the linseed oil cako
made in this country should ever have
been allowed by the farmers thereof to
go abroad TO feed the cattle and the
farms of other men, their competitors.
We say this advsedly, and say it earn
estly, because we know it to be as true
as daylight. Had the product never
been fed to Il hoof of stock, but every
ounce of it put on the ground as 4
fertilizer. it would have paid for itself
by sustaining the fertility of farms
that to-day cannot be given away be
cause they are used up, and, compare.
lively speaking, worthless. But, made
food for stock, it has not only served
the purpose of the feeder to its full
value, but when the manure of the
stock so fed has been applied to the land
it has been with the distinct under.
standing that in feeding it had not lost
a particle of its manurial value. The
farmer then had full value as feed and
an additional full value rs manure, and
il he can buy all else that he wants
with the same prospect of returns, he
will have no cause to complain. For
nearly half a century the linseCd oil
cake made in this country was shipped
by railroad from the place of produc-
ton to the seaboard, was then shipped
5000 miles across the Atlantic and SOIL
to British farmers at profit to the
producer, as well as to the ultimate con-
sumner, who was glad to get it. Why?
Because il was the fertilizer he needed
to sustain the productive capacity of
his land, land that he was renting ut 4
higher cost annually than like quality
could be bought for here. The men who
to-day write down linseed cake meal as
q desirable article for stock and land
feeding are simply demonstrating their
own ignorance.-Rural World.

RatIon for Cattle or Sheen.

Glover, hay, bran and wheat straw
make up complete ration in growing
cattle or sheep. II makes cheap food.
IL will bring little better result If the
straw and clover could first be run
through feed-cutter and then the
bran be added But, IL this cannot be
done, the next best plan is 10 feed the
straw and clover in racks or hangers
and the bran in boxes or troughs. There
viii be much less waste In this way than
by allowing the stock to run IN the
stacks and help themselves. What Is
left in the racks or managers chn be used
for bedding, and In this way be con.
serted into valuable fertillzcr--hsu th

Great Nets in Which Thousands of Fish

The fish are swimming near the sur.
face now, and if they look up they will
see upon every pole which rises from
the wall of mesh either hawk, an eagle
or n great gull ready to pounce upon
them. They dive and try to swim under
the weed. They cannot. The water
is shallow and the weed rises from the
very bottom. Meanwhile hawks and
eagles are busy, panic ensues, few
fish dart through the narrow way. 1t
is more open beyond, and, after all, it
leads in the right direction. The gen.
eral impulse is to go forward. No one
wants TO turn back, and, like sheep,
they follow their leaders through the

this would not be necessary Dig the
trench wider at the bottom and fill near

have a chance to lift the stones on the
sides. From just below the surface of
the ground lay the rough rocks in

A foot or less is enough of height above
the ground for most foundations. A
loose stone foundation like this must

bad work An outlet should be found
to turn the water away. If n short bit
