CRAFTSMEN WHO WANDER.

Peripatetic Shoemakers, Thinkers and
Grinders Who Work Outlying Districts.
In the outlying portions of Chicago,
and especially where it's foreign ele-
ments abound, there are many features
even of street life that recall the older
cities of Europe. One of these con-
sists in that class of rowing tradesmen
who carry their tools and workshops
along with them and ply their respcc-
tive callings wherever they can pick
up job. Various are their methods Of
advertising themselves and attracting
custom.
One aristocrat of shoemaker drives
about in closed vehicle as white and
garish as a circus wagon. Within it
are his work bench and stool, cup
board full of leather scraps and a
small heating stove. He has the knacl
of restoring to usefulness footwear
that seemed to be hopelessly disabled.
When he gets job at any house in a
block he draws up his wagon to the
sidewalk and there "sticks to his last
as long as custom may come.
The tinsmith, or tinker, is usually
less imposing than the cobbler. lie
carries his tools and a small stock of
tin in leathern budget slung over one
shoulder. He proclaims his coming in
the street by a musical cry of "Old
tins-tins to mend!" When employed
to repair leaking wash boiler or a
spoutIess tealxettle, he sits down to
his task in some convenient porch or
entry.
Another useful craftsman is the one
who has an ambulant grindstone for
sharpening knives and scissors. AS lie
trundles it along by the sidewalk it
clangs an iron bell that makes piteous
appeal to be silenced. The grinder gets
numerous jobs, too, for in many drudg-
ing households there would be no work
for the carving knife if the scissors
were long out of order. One knife
grinder was met lately who has no
grindstone, but does his work with
set of very hard files. These ne carries
in his hand rolled up in piere of can
vas, and as he makes no clang or cry,
but has all the modest seeming of an
opulent plumber, he is enabled to call
unterrified at the better class of resi-
dences. All these worthy craftsmen
fill useful role and form link Ie-
tween American civilization and the
lands in which it was cradled.-Chicago

AMONG THE POULTRY.

"stunted" fowl better be killed at

Feed but one kind of grain at time,
and cover up with light litter.
If living near a market, try turkeys.
Ducks are also profitable.
Both nesting and busting material
should be renewed at least monthly.
Keep fresh water continually before
the fowls, warmed trife on the colder
mornings.
Select the best layers for breeding
stock, keeping size and color of plumage
as uniform as possible.
Keep grit of some kind accessible to
the poultry at all times. This is in
dispcnsable to their well-being.
Corn is probably the best cold-weath-
er food. Feed the kitchen scraps in the
morning in clean place.

perches once week. Pack in barrels
with frequent layers of earth-dry, ii

american Horses i'm England.

During the last year no less than TO-
900 American horses have been sold in
London alone. A large number are
used for the omnibuses and street cars.
The cabmaster and smaller dealer pro-
fess not to touch them, the former be-
lieving, and possibly rightly, that the
majority of foreign horses are some
what soft, while, as a rule, he declares
that at his price he can get plenty Of
well-bred English horses, and that they
do his work very well. The fact is, how
ever, that there gre almost as many
American horses drawing cabs as Amer.
lean subjects riding in them. After
American and Canadian horses have
changed hands under the hammer they
are resold without anything being said
about their nationality. They get into
the country and add to the difficulties
and perplexities of the breeder.-Lon-

slopes to feet high at the back. The
roof is shingled and the front that was
once lnuslin-covered, is now of board
ing and windows, for throughout the
year it is in use for different purposes.
This room is divided into two compart-
ments by wire fence netting, for sum-
mer use as rooms for breeding stock or
for hens and chicks. But when used
for a winter scratch-room, the door is
left open and they have ali the room to
work in. The floor is deep covered with
straw, and the fowls are kept sufficient
ly hungry to keep them scratching.
Small doors, less than foot square,
open into either room from the roost-
Ing, or main house.

stracted of fodder costs nothing at all
except the work, for the refuse brush,
poles, etc., are found upon almost any
farm, If you have not the fodder in
available shape, you have surely plenty
of straw. Many farmers have their sup
ply of straw baled every year. Such
material as baled straw to bank the sides
of such a room could scarce be sur

is put into practice in ones poultry
yards, the practice will never be aban-
doned, for the birds must have exercise.

ART IN AGRICULTURE.
1t is Coming to Be Quite an Important
Elevating Factor.

1t Is Coming to Be Quite an Important
Elevating Factor.
Art in agriculture is coming to be
more and more noticeable every day.
With the advent of new methods, i'm
proved implements and a wider knowl-
edge of the field, the agricnlturist is
rising higher in the field of useful or
ornamental art as the years go by. We
may say that sharp competition is no
small factor in this progressive move
ment, says the agricultural student.
Take, for example, the manner in which
certain products are prepared for the
open market. The improvement in thu
condition of certain dairy products and
fruit on market in the last few years
is truly wonderful. The reason, OF
course, is that people always buy that
article which is put up in the most
tasteful and attractive style, and are
willing to pay little more for it. With
this change comes more wholesome
effect upon the article itself, and dis
ease is much less disseminated through
food at the present time than formerly.
Greater precautions are taken now
than ever before in preventing the
spread of contagious diseases in this
manner, and with the increase in the
size of the cities and the greas~s liabil-
ity to ill-health, these precautions can-
not be observed too carefully. Thur
the agriculturist, to be successful, mus,
keep right up to date in his readings
and methods.--Mirror and Farmer.

NEGOTIATING LAND.
The Principle of incubation In the Do
main of Agriculture.

main OF Agriculture.
Research has demonstrated that the
soil of our fields is literally teeming
with bacteria, which, according to some
recent experiments, may be present to
the extent of 100000 per gramme
(the one-twenty-sixth part of an ouncc)
of soil; and that these bacteria are
largely instrumental in conducting 10
the successful growth of vegetation by
preparing, in forms suitable for assimi-
lation by the plant, the different food
substances it derives from the soil, says
the Quarterly Review. The latest APP
plication, in the domain of agriculture,
of the great principle of incubation,
il in many respects of more striking
nature than anything yet accomplished
by this line of research, and consists OF
the incubation of the soil with pure
cultures of bacteria for the purpose Of
promoting plant growth.
incubation of soil with these Gull
lures, on practical scale, may be at
fected in either of two ways. First, the
seed of the crop it is desired to inocu-
late may be inoculated before it is
sown. This is effected by making q
watery solution of the pure cultivation,
immersing the seed in it, and subse.
quently drying it; or, secondly, 1t may
be effected by inoculating a quantity Of
fine sand or earth in the same way, and
then spreading it over the field and sub.
sequently working it into the soil to Q
depth of about three inches. Natural.
ly, point of considerable interest Is
the economic question of the cost OF
such treatment. 1t is interesting to
learn that this is extremely moderate,
as the expense of inoculating field in
this way amounts to the very moderate
sum of five shillings per acre. This can
not be regarded as expensive, and con-
trasts fayorably with the expense OF
heterogeneous fertilizers.

RECOVERY OF A BICYCLE.
It Had Been Sunk in the Harbor for Re-

u nNu Been SUNK IN tne h0TDOr IOr NE
venge.
Among the residents of Bermuda are
two brothers, one of whom, besides
heing an enthusiastic yachtsman, is also
swift and sl1illful rider of the bicycle.
Some years ago, shortly before the date
set for bicycle race in which he was
to be one of the contestants his wheel
mysteriously disappeared and all eff
forts to find trace of it proved fruit
less.
One day, about IA months after the
bicycle had been presumably stolen,
fisherman who was angling out in the
middle of st. Georges harbor for float
ing fish, hooked large one, which in
stantly plunged into the depths of the
harbor in vain endeavor to escape.
The angler played with him for awhile,
and then feeling the line tightening in
his hand and the strain become steady
began to haul up. He soon realized
that he had ut the end of his line one of
the heaviest catches which he had ever
made, and (what he could not under
stand about it) that it was almost aP.
parently dead weight. He hauled
away, however, until there appeared
above the water not only the fish that
he had hooked, but bicycle, around
the handles of which the fish, in his eff
forts to escape, had wound the rope q
number of times.
When the astonished fisherman had
sufficiently recovered from his amaze
ment at the curious catch he took the
bicycle ashore. There it was identified
as the one which had so inexplicably
disappeared. Strange to say the ma
chine, in spite of the fact that it had
been at the bottom of the harbor for
IA months, was but little damaged and
was easily put in running order again.
For some time no clew as to how it
found it's way to its watery hiding place
could be discovered. Eventually, how
ever, several circumstances came to
light that pointed to man with whom
the bicycle rider had once had trouble.
At one time whenever he rode past this
mans place the dogs which were kept
there would run out and bark and snap
at the rider, causing him considerable
annoyance and trouble. At first he
contented himself with simply driving
off the brutes as best he could, but
when he found that they were set upon
him by their master he took prompt
measures to have the man arrested,
brought into court and fined. From
various circumstances that were found
out regarding the disappearance of the
wheel there seemed to be no doubt that
the owner of the ugly dogs was respon-
sible for it and that he stole the ma
chine and sunk it in the harbor in order
to be revenged on its owner.-Boston

FOODS FOR POULTRY.

Why 1t Is More Advantageous to Feed
Everything Dry.
The natural food of fowls is composed
of seeds, insects and grass. In the do
mestic condition we allow grain, grass
and meat. Turkeys and chickens drink
very little water when feeding, and
even ducks and geese resort to water
when feeding sometimes, in order to
wash their bills more than to drink,
says the Poultry Keeper.
This brings up the question of the
propriety of feeding soft food. 1t is
known that ground grain absorbs a
large volume of water, and when the
mixture is apparently dry, quite large
proportion of water exists in it, though
more so when the mixture is very moist
and sloppy. 1t is not beneficial water,
as the results are sometimes injurious.
bowel disease and indigestion prevail
ing.
1t is better to feed all food dry, if
possible, and keep a trough full of wa
ter where the fowls can take what
quantity they desire. Even ground
food may be given in dry condition,
the different substances used being
thoroughly mixed and placed in a
trough. When chicks are fed they
have cornmeal moistened several times
day, and bowel disease results simply
because too much water is forced upon
them in the food. The fowls never re-
sort to wet food when they can get dry
kinds, and this is matter that deserves
attention
