GROW RICH, EVERY FARMER.

The editor thinks it to be the wish OF
everybody to grow rich. not for the sake
Of the money, but for the good that can
be done with the money. Now, there
are three new cereals recently created
that will make money for the farmer.
One is Silver King Barley, the most
wonderful creation Of the age, yielding
80, 100 to 116 Blu. per acre in 1895, and
there are thousands of farmers who be-
lieve they can grow $50 blu. per acre
therefrom in 1896.
Then there is Silver Mine Oats, yieldI
ing 1895 209 bu. per acre. Every
farmer who tested 1t, believes $50 Blu.
possible.
Then there is Golden Triumph Corn,
which produced over 200 bu. per acre.
and $50 bu. is surely possible.
And potatoes, there Is Salzer's Ear
Hest, which was fit for table in % days
in 1895, yielding tremendously, while
the Champion of the World, tested in a
thousand different places in 1895, yield
ed from s to 1000 blu. per acre.
Now, in Salzer's new catalogue there

IN THE SICK ROOM.

Give the room which has the best
means Of ventilation and the most sum
shine TO the invalid.
Have dark-green Holland shades al
the windows. Green tempers the glare
of the sun in way very soothing to
tired eyes.
Have a big screen in the room which
may be used either to shut out the
bright light when the patient wishes TO
sleep or to keep off draughts when the
windows are raised and lowered.

There are so many
noted men resident in London, gener-
ally in rooms within a very small cir
cumference from a given point-say
Charing Cross, for instance-that If you

lunch with you at half an hours notice,

receptions in London where the enter
tainer had had time for preparation,
and the amazing number of celebrities
he succeeded in collecting together in

In the papers about it next morning, has
always struck me, being a newspaper
man, as sinful waste of most excellent
material.
The other evening went to call upon
an American friend of mine, who has
very charming rooms in the st. James
quarter. 1t is very pleasant place to
visit, for the American is most inter-
esting man himself, and has many
friends who have done remarkable
things. That evening there dropped
in, quite casually, two young men,
whose names, if I mentioned them,
would be very well known. One is the
remaining lieutenant Of Stanley, who
accompanied him in his search for
Emin Pasha. He and Stanley are the
only white men left alive from that ex-
petition. With him was tall young
man of somewhat foreign appearance,
with name that Is decidedly French
but who speaks English with that de-
lightfully precise and accurate intona-
ton which a highly educated French
man uses. He, also, has gone through
Africa, but with an expedition on his
own account, and his book will be pub
lished in London and New York very
shortly. The American 1 was visiting
is great admirer of Stanley and he has
accordingly in his rooms many books
and maps belonging to Africa, so the
two young men came in to settle with
the aid of the maps of my friend, a
point they were debating. The French
man claimed he had discovered the
Southernmost sources of the Nile, while
the Englishman had doubts about It,
and thought the rivers the other had
crossed, flowed in some other direction
than towards the great lakes. l sat
there deeply interested, saying nothing,
listening to these two men who had
done things, tell of their adventures,
one story bringing up another. The
Frenchman had had among his guides
and porters natives whom Stanley had
employed, and it was interesting to
hear the stories they had told of Stan
ley and the Englishman who now lis
tened to them. One story always sug-
gested another, and they were all so
strange and new to me that | felt

Feeding Corn Alone.

There is an unusual temptation this
winter to feed too much corn to all
kinds of stock, writes J. A. Dobin in the
Ohio Farmer.
Corn is one of the foods that is too
rich in the heat and fat producing ele-
ments. 1t needs something that con-
tains more of the bone and muscle
forming elements to make it good ra-
ton. Now, the scientist tells us that
the excess of carbohydrates will be
stored up in the system as fat. This is
in measure true. But all Of us COM
mon haysCeds know that in practice,
IL an animal be fed an exclusive corn
diet, the storing up process goes on all
right for a time. Then the appetite
becomes clogged, there is discourage
ing check in growth and the animal
takes an unthrifty appearance.
Something besides corn should be fed
as the grain ration, for the sake of va
riety If for no other reason. Relish has
great influence on digestion, and an
animal will not eat with good relish
when fed on a single food for any great
length OF time.
Phosphoric Acid in Vegetable Grow
ing-The deeper layers Of the soil are,
as rule, very deficient in active phos-
phoric acid (says Prof. Paul Wagner,
in treatise on the application of arti-
fetal manures), and this may be re-
garded as one of the chief reasons for
the phenomenon observed, that when
deep-rooted plants wines, fruit trees,
ornamental trees, shrubs. etc., arrive
at certain age, they frequently sicken
and cease to develop. 1t is, therefore
advisable to provide the lower layers
with store of Thomas phosphate Tor il
this is not 10 be readily obtained, with
superphosphate). In laying out gar
dens, asparagus beds, vineyards, or
chards, etc, one should not neglect to
apply stock manuring of phosphoric
acid. recommend the mixture of
twenty-one ounces of Thomas phos-
plate powder (slag meaD to every cubic
metre Zone and one-third cubic yards)
OF soil in such projects.

Halloween has come down to us from
the old Druids, and, after three CEN
turtles Of revision, but very little Of
the original customs is left. All we
have now are a faint trace of mysti-
cism and few harmless superstitions
in which no one has faith. Social feat
ures of an enjoyable kind supply the
place of those which have been lost,
and thus the ancient festival preserves
it's popularity. Perhaps it is just as
well that we don't observe Hallowmas
eve as did the Druids. for one of their
rites was concluded with a human
sacrifice, and although the unfortunate
victim was always either an enemy
or a captive. we could hardly recognize
such a practice.
Probably few of the mischievous
boys who make Halloween the occasion
for playing all sorts of pranks know
that the origin of this practice is
founded on quaint, old traditions.
Even now in some of the remote parts
Of Ireland. Scotland and the north Of
England the rustic folk believe that on
the night Of Oct 81 spirits Of the de-
parted walk abroad and hobgoblins.
gnomes, witches and fairies fit through
the darkness bent on errands Of mis-
chief and evil.
But the small American boy does not
believe in witches, and for fear that no
mischief will be done he does it him
self. If you have ever lived in a small
country town or village you know ex-
actly how he goes about it and how
successful he generally is. 1t is doubt
full if all the sprites in elfdom could in
vent more pranks.
Removing swinging gates and Gel
lar doors is always a favOrite Hallow-
cen pastime with village boys. String
ing wires and ropes across sidewalks
to trip I'D unwary pedestrians is an
other reckless trick, which sometimes
results in severe injury. The ticktack
is generally harmless. OF course you
have hung a ticktack at some time
or other in your younger days. You
remember how it was done, don't you?
The crowd of village boys met about
8 o'clock on some previously selected
corner. A long piece Of tWine, a nail
and q. tack or a pin were the requisite
paraphernalia. Then the victim was Sc
lected, generally some citizen who had
made himself obnoxious to the boys on
former occasions. Perhaps 1t was the
crusty druggist or the short tempered
Hebrew dry goods dealer. If the victim
was known to be on the lookout for
such games and prepared to give chase
to the Offenders, spice of keenly re-
lished adventure was given to the fun.
Then came the fastening Of the tick
tack. One of the boldest spirits was
selected for this work. While the rest
of the group remained hidden in the
shadow of a distant tree he stole
carefully up to the house and with
trembling fingers fastened the tack to
the sash OF the window. The nail was
