UNTRUTHFUL HEN.

A woman living on lonely New
England farm has taken great comfort
for some years in the society of the
numerous hens and chickens, some Of
which she thinks have almost human
intelligence.
Her hens are all named, and she
speaks of them and their various pc.
culiarities in such a manner as to al
most deceive an uninitiated listener
into believing that she regards them as
human beings.
There, Sarah Ann is making great
cackle, auntiel' cried a youthful visitor
at the farm, one summer morning.
She must have laid an eggp
"Pshaw, child!' replied the aunt, in
an exasperated tone. "When you've
known Sarah Ann as long as I have,
you won't be so believin'. She may
have laid an egg, and she may not.

HORTICULTURE
WHY DOES NOT THE ORCHARD
BEAR?

What will make my orchard bearG
Nobody knows. Ask the trees. Study
the conditions. Think about the orchard.
Try one method here and another there.
Try to find out why it does not bear.
Perhaps the varieties are not produc-
tive ones. Perhaps the fowers do not
fertilize. Perhaps the soil is too low
or too poor. The orchard may need
spraying, or, possibly. even manuring
or plowing up, or pruning. Or, oftener,
perhaps, it needs cutting down and a
new one started all over again, with
the matter done right from the begin
ming. 1t is hard work to break colt
when he is 10 years. old, and then he
never makes a good horse 1t is certain
that there is no one cause for the fail
ure of all apple orchards to bear. There
are many, perhaps very many causes.
The experimenter should be able to dis
cover these causes and to explain them.

should be boiled until soft; and then
united with bran and corn meal. 1t is
well to hang cabbage up in the hen
coop just high enough so the fowls
must jump and exercise themselves
somewhat in order to obtain their
''bites." Glover rowen is just splendid
for fowls. 1t should be chopped fine,
scalded with boiling hot water, covered
closely and allowed to stand several
hours (all night il possibIe) 1t will
then become tender, juicy and most ap-
petizing.
Good feed in winter is worth much;
but little profits from the same will be
obtained unless the hens are made to
scratch and keep moving, something
as they are wont to do in summer.
Leaves or litter should cover the floor
of the poultry house; and few oats
once or twice a day should be thrown
upon the same. The "biddies" will
keep healthy and vigorous, scratching
for these kernels. Keep the snow
shoveled away; and on pleasant days
let the fowls out for a short time.
Careful attention to all these matters
will tend to increase profits from poul-
try culture

THE FUTURE OF BABY BEEF.

1t is a growing opinion among many
who are interested in the subject, says
an authority, that young steers are
soon to outweigh in the favor of meat
dealers the heavy bullocks of three or
four years old. The we'll fed two-year-
old just now is more popular among
retail butchers than any other. Itcuts
up to greatest advantage on the block,
many say, and epicures ask for it. The
latter fact is noted here with the fact
in mind that the American people, as a
whole, are epicures of more or less ad-
vancement, and there is not much
likelihood that their tastes will degen-
crate. Feeders are realizing more and
more the waste of materials in old
steers, the older they grow the more
feed being required to produce an ad-
ditional pound of meat. Good breed
ing and good feeding is certain to pro-
duce very edible bullock in less than
twoyears. A 1900 FOUNDER may bring
more money to breeder, dealer and
butcher than baby beef, but hardly
more profit if all the extra feed and
work are considered.

LIVE STOCK.
THE NEW HOG.

AS compared with years ago, we
have a new hog. He is new in his
make up, lives fast and dies early for
profit, and hence is handled differently
than he used to be. The demands on
him are new also. Instead of a year
and half old, he must mature in
seven or eight months. A writer on
this subject says that now the feeding
weight of the hog of commerce is 175
or 300 pounds, instead of 300 or $50, as
formerly. This writer says that hogs
of 300 pounds of dead weight and up,
ward could hardly be produced With
out their being wintered over. This
took all the guiding off the ginger
bread, unless prices were Iabnormally
high. But hogs weighing 175 to 200
pounds can be brought to salable ma
turity in the course of one season. An
early springlitter of them can be fitted
for market before cold weather begins
to make feeding Improbable. Then,
when the young pigs are sold of, there

TOMATO AND POTATO GRAFT.

One tuber was planted in each pot
on March 22d, and when about four to
five inches high, the pl mt was cut off
hait an inch from the level of the soil,
and a graft of a tomato plant intro
duced on May 9Th. The result of this
has been that the potato, nourished by
th6 tomato plant above ground, has
produced a good crop of potatoes in the
pot; and also the tomato plant above
ground has produced a fairly good
crop of tomatoes, nourished by the po-
tatO roots in the pot.
The process was also reversed. The
potato plant was cut off half an inch
above the surface and the potato graft
introduced. The tomato roots have
not, of course, produced potatoes, but
the potato plant above ground pro-
duced one truss of flowers and seven
berries; and in order to extend this
somewhat interesting experiment, the
tomato flowers have been fertilized
with potato pollen, and the potato
flowers with tomato pollen for further
experiment next year. Photographs
were taken on August 14th; but on
looking at the plants recently, it was
found that two of the potatoes grow
ing N tomato stalks appeared sudden
ly to be aware of the fact that although
producing flowers and berries, they
had not yet produced tubers, and it be-
ing ''never too late to mend" they
have produced tubers from the axis of

AGRTCULTURE.

Subsoiling with plow that simply
breaks up the subsol and does not turn
it on top, is of unquestionable benefit.
Plans for a poultry house are not
much needed. Anybody ought to be
able to build a house. Warmth, ven
tAation, low roosts and convenient
8sts are all these is to it.
Some of the fancy breeds of poultry
may so interest the boy who is tiring
of farm life that he will abandon all
idea of leaving the farm. 1t is a cheap
way of keeping him satisfied, if it will
do it.
More bonds is the news from Wash
ington, lower prices for farm products
is the answer of commerce, the two
have a close affinity, and the old ''hard
times completes the trinity, the three
are one and indivisible.
Before sheep are changed from hay
to grass in the spring they should be
carefully looked over, and all horns
and jhoofs that threaten to be trouble
some carefully removed. The hOofs
can be taken off with pruning shears,
but fine saw is needed for horns.
During the winter care should be
taken not to allow too many lambs t
run in one flock, for the stronger con
tinually over-run the weaker, picking
out the most delicate portions of the
food, and leaving that less palatable
and OF inferior quality to those which
should have the best.

WINTER CARE OF FOWLS.

M. s. Perkins, Massachusetts,, in the
National Stockman, says the present
is critical season in the poultry house,
not only because eggs are higher priced
now than in summer, but also because
the breeding time will soon be here,
when the highest thrift and health are
necessary among the mature fowls, in
order that a like vigorous offspring
may be produced. A great deal de-
pends upon the feed. The larger the
variety the better. An exclusive diet
ofsgrain is to be avoided. Animal food
must be supplied in abundance, now
that bugs and grasshoppers are no
more.
There are various preparations on
the market that are no doubt Of some
value; but we prefer to everything else

bones, both in the raw state. Here we
getall the delicate and nutritious juices,
a considerable portion of which is lost
by any process of boiling.

work; and the fowls find no difficulty
in eating the bone up clean after it has

more hens will be paid by purchasing

secondary value to fresh meat. Itmust

equally valuable source. Roots are

THE PRECIOUS METALS IN
CHINA.

Purchasing Power of Silver Has Not De-
clined, but Gold Has Appreciated One
Hundred Per Cent.
prepared for The American by Col E. R. JEFF
ferds, an American Engineer, now in Shanghai.)
Gold, in the form of money, is never
seen in China, neither are gold ingots
in use in trade, but are used for hoard
ing only. Hoarded gold is generally
found in only two forms. One is in
ingots shaped like a boat about 3.6
inches long, 0 8 inches wide, and weigh
ing II 575100O OF. Troy weight; the
other is in the form of gold leaf, meas
uring about eight inches square and
weighing about thirty grammes. The
relative value of gold to silver was in
the beginning of the Ming Dynasty "a.
D. 1879 one to four; under the En-
peror Wan Ii (1594 of the same dy-
nasty, one to seven; at the end of the
Ming Dynasty, q635) one to ten; under
the Emperor Kung-hsi Q662) Of the
present dynasty, one to twelve; under
the Emperor Kienlung, (1737) one to
twenty; in the middle of the reign of
Toakwang, Q84O) one to eighteen; at
the beginning of the reign Of Hun flung,
Q85O) one to fourteen; in 1882, one TO
sixteen to eighteen, and at present one
to thirty. Gold not being used in China
as money but as a commodity, it's only
value is for boarding and ornamental
purposes, thus the people can readily
comprehend that gold has advanced
nearly one hundred per cent. since
1882. One ounce of silver will buy
just as much rice, corn, cotton, silk or
other commodity, except gold, as ever
it would, but gold is too high for all but
the very richest people to indulge in.
Precisely the same conditions, as far
as value are concerned, prevail in the
United States, only our people have
been bulldozed into the belief that all
values, except gold, have gone down,
down, down, while the value Of gold
remains stationery.
Mr. r. E. Bredon, Commissioner of
Customs, in the Decennial Reports of
the Custom House, Shanghai, says: ut

disposal to discuss the influences which

that, in the general opinion, a tael Of
