London. NOV. 2i.-The situation In India
causes the grnYcst concern. Lord George
Hamilton. secretary for India, In what
the newspapers declare 20 be a rcmnrka-
hle speech, has admitted that I2,0o,mo
persons are now affected or threatened
with dangerous scarcity. though II il
thought the government has some pros
pcct OF coping successfully with the situa-
tion. The unusual action OF the Russian
newspapers In appealing for subscriptions
for the relief of the HindoOs is regarded
here with considerable suspicion. espe-
cally as IL Is suggested that the Russian
government should supcrintCud the buy
ing and dispatching OF grain to India
The newspapers hint that the handspring
of such action Is likely TO be found in po-
iltical rather than In charitable motives
The st. James Gazette. after pointing ont
the absence Of British fund and con-
Tossing suspicious of Rhsfia's motives,
says: THE moral effect can hardly help
being bad. especially IL Russian agents
distribute the money In India" The Ber-
lin National Ieitung, commenting upon
the AFFAIR, remarks: THE famine has
given the Russians the opportunity OF
recommending themselves to the iIndoos
as helpers In times OF need and generous
friends, whereas Great Britain must seem
imnotent as soliciting aid from Russia"
A great deal OF excitement has been
aroused In west agrarian circles by a

ranged by tho Royal Niger company.
which has massed II thousand native
troops AT Lokoya, on the river Niger. and
AT lbe, on the Benue. while about ~ Brit

company maintain silence respecting the
destination OF the expedition, which Is be-
lieved TO be either against the rebellious
Florian tribe or to restore order In the
sultan of Sokoto's dominions. The French
and German newspapers express great
alarm, suggesting that the expedition Is "A

Don't think it luck that brings sue

that determines the profit with poultry
etc.
Whatever you are breeding, poultry
pigeons or pet stocks, don't neglectyour
stock and expect to succeed, because
you won't.
Don't think you can breed prize win
ming stock from culls; it takes good
stock, great deal Of experience and .
little patience.
Don't think you know it all, because
you will get left; ask your brother fan
cier for an occasional bit of advice, es'
pecially if you are a beginner.
Don't crowd your stock, you can't
keep so birds in place large enough for
70, and have success in breeding them
you might breed plenty of vermin, but
that don't pay.
Don't throw q few handfuls of wheat
ut your pigeons once in awhile and
wonder why they don't do well, feed
them properly at least twice a day.
always have pure clean water before
them.
Don't think bantams are too small to

will vary with the degree of moisture
of the manure and the temperature OF

PREPARING BROOM CORN.
Useful Hints Sent Out by . Chicago Com


Useful Hints Sent Out by . Chicago Com
mission Firm.
The following from commission
firm in Chicago gives growers Of broom
corn some useful hints in regard to
putting up their corn for market:
The corn should be well seeded and
at the same time the growers should
avoid scraping the fine ibers from the
tips. Let the corn thoroughly cure
before baling and butt it down well
before laying in the press; this will
make nice smooth ends and give the
bales u nice appearance. Corn is fire.
quently received with the bale broken
in two when the corn is short: In Or
der to avoid this, when laying the snort
corn in the press there should be layers
put in the center of the bales for bind.
ers to hold the corn together and this
will make good solid bales. Care
should be taken not to put rubbish or
scrapings from the cylinder in the CEN
ter of the bales, as this is worthless and
total loss to broom makers. There
are always few who resort to this
practice and it is injuring the reputa'
ton of all the western growers. We do
do not see why the western farmers
should not realize as good prices for
their corn as the Illinois farmers, pro-
viding the brush is well handled and OF
as good quality. The last few years the
quality of their corn has not been up
to the standard, but we trust that this
year they will have fine quality Of
brush, which will bring the west to the
front again.

kettle is set, filled with smoldering
chips or corncobs. The upper barrel
has either hooks in its bottom or SIDES
the bottom of the barrel now being
uppermost-or has rods passing
through the sides, on which to hang the
meat A small hole can be bored in the
barrels bottom, to give n slight draft,
if needed, while the opening in front ct
the kettle can be closed if the draft
proves too strong. A simple little ar
rangement of this sort will often do as
much good work as one on which much
money and labor have been spent.
The same plan is suggested for use
in fumigating articles, or for bleaching
articles with burning sulphur. For such
purposes, tighter chamber is required
than is needed for smoking meat. This
tightness can be secured by wrapping
cloth about the point of union Of the
two barrels, while no opening need he
made at the base Of the lower barrel.-

SELECTING SEED CORN.
A Task Whose Importance 10 Not Realized
by Some Farmers.

A Task Whose Importance IL Not Realized
by Some Farmers.
Selection of seed corn and its care
afterwards are of much more lmpor-
lance than many realize until bitter dis
appointment faces them, with perhaps
one-third Of stand, and then it is too
late to recover for the year. And still
farmers go right on and do the same
thing another year. While always go
into the field and select early at least e
part of my seed, do not plant such Sc
lection unless I have failed at hrsking
time to gather such as desire. can
select just the size and shape that seems
best to my mind at that time and cure
it in the chamber over the kitchen stove
and leave it there until wanted in the
ear. l would not shell any 1 did not
use for the year, and during my entire
life have never so saved corn that 90
per cent. would not grow, and seldom
ever any fails even at three years old.
While the early ripening will always
grow and will make very early corn,
after a number of years of such saving
I am satisfied the variety grows small
by so doing. Iprefer to plant and SOW
the largest and best of its kind. At
husking time, either from stalk or
shock, one can make the selection.
Leave enough husk on the ear and
throw to one side Of the wagon, and in
this way the corn can be selected with
little or no hindrance, and unless there
has been very hard freezing with corn
damp there is very little danger of its
not growing, if properly cared for after
picking.-Cor. Live Stock Indicator.

FARM AND GARDEN.
FOWLS IN WINTER,

Green Food IL the Best Thing to Stimu-
late Egg Production.
No other food is SO absolutely neces.
sary for the production Of eggs in win
ter as the greenwood ration. The COOP
Ing of hens during the cold months is
. modern and rather unnatural con6i-
ton of things. Our forefathers never
considered it necessary to house a flock
pt any season of the year, except at
night, and then only in cold climates.
In the south, where the average tenn
Pcrature is mild throughout the year,
fowls are left generally to themselves
and roost in trees or on fences-any
pl1ce where they can be higher at
night than their prowling enemies.
Modern poultry culture has improved
on all this, and to-day the successful
breeder. whether for egg production
or fancy points, houses his stock COM
tortably and confines them closely to
their coops during the winter months.
It il therefore necessary to supply
them with all the variety of food they
would otherwise gather, if left to their
own inclinations. When the spring
comes and your fowls are let out for
the first time, watch them and you will
zee how eagerly they will rush TO the
nearest grass and devour ravenously
every blade.
Everything that is of vegetable ma
ture ia worth storing, therefore, to
supply the place of the natural green
article so much enjoyed by them
small potatoes, turnips,e mangel-wuf-
kels, cabbage, dried clover; in fact,
anything of this nature that can be
successfully kept over during cold
weather.
The small vegetables and clover hay
can be boiled or steamed and added to
the morning mash, and the mangels
and cabbage can be fed in the raw
state. Many of our most successful
egg farmers feed the last two as a sep
are tie midday ration, all that the hens
will eat up clean, or suspend cabbage
about two feet above the litter in coops
for them to jump and peck at, thus Civ
Ing additional exercise in procuring a
tempting green morsel.-Country Gen
