FACTS FOR FARMERS.

To plow manure deep is to lose good
part of the possible benefit. ...
Very few animals are as dainty or as
choice in their food as sheep.
The health of the animal affects the
quality and quantity of the wool.
The first gait to teach the young
colt is good, strong smart walk.
Feed the lambs as soon as they are
able to eat, and keep them growing.
Mixed husbandry in gardening and
fruit growing 3 essential to success.
1t does not pay to keep all kinds of
and all sizes of hogs in the same pen
and on the same feed.
A careless hand will often cause more
loss than he is worth. Pay fair price
and secure good help.
Under present conditions it does not
pay to raise mongrel cattle, as they
cost as much as good grades and sell for

Pests of the Poultry Yard.

This is the season for lice, and it is
only the well-kept coops and yards
that are free from the vermin. Lice
will drive the sitting hens off the nest.
will force others to lay on the ground
outside, will cause the chicks to droop
and die without apparent disease af-
fecting them, will invite disease by de-
bilitating the fowls, and will cause loss
where profit should be the result. Do
not wait for lice to come, but keep the
pests away. Frequent whitewashing
of the coops, the rubbing of kerosene oil
on the roosts, the sprinkling of tobacco
refuse over the nests, and the liberal
use of Persian insect powder well dust
ed into every crack and crevice as well
as over the floor, the nests, and every
where else, will be the only safeguard.

SWALLOWS HAVE THEIR FUN.

Interesting Manner In Which the Birds
''H'f Amuse Themselves.
Swallows can fly very fast and very
for. If it were not so they could not
take the long journeys which they do,
leaving England in the autumn and re-
turning in the spring. This quick fight
enables them to catch insects on the
wing, on which they chiefly live; also it
enables them to escape bird enemies Of
the hawk tribe sometimes, and perhaps
shots which may be fired at them by
men, Often do we see them flying, as it
seems, just for the pleasure which they
have in rapid motion. going in circles
round the top of a lofty house or church
spire, dropping now and then, only to
rise again, till the whole party suddenly
darts off in another direction. A gen
tleman walking one morning across a
large park saw a number of swallows
having quite game with a hare, though
the poor animal did not seem to like the
performance. The hare was running
very fast, and at first the gentleman
wondered why it was, as no dogs were
near, but directly after he noticed some
swallows coming close to the ground,
and they SKINNED past the hare's ears,
giving her the idea that they were 60
ing to strike her, though, when close,
they took a sharp turn. Then they
disappeared and the hare stopped to lis
ten; presently they returned and again
the hare ran until she got hid among the
underbrush.
Still more curious is the story which
clergyman tells us of a scene he wit
messed between some swallows and a
cat. Pussy was sitting on the top of a
gate post in sort of doze, in which we
often see cats when they are lazy and
not hungry. Puas' Teposo was inter-
rupted by the arrival Of swallow,
which flew close to her head. She raised
her paw to strike it, but was too late.
Another swallow minute after did the
same thing, and again puss made an un-
successful blow. More swallows dashed
past her just in the same way till ten
or eleven had gone by and each made
sort of chirp which sounded like a
laugh. This was too much for her-she
jumped down and reiterated. Swallows
have been known to unite and drive off
their great enemy, the kestrel, kind
of hawk, by whirling and fiuttering
about him until he gets confused and is
not able to seize any of them.-Chatter-

Reseoa,ns C.nyor Mcado,ys.

The Ohio Experiment station is now
planning some experiments in attempt
ing to get 4 stand of clover on fields
sown last spring, but which failed to
make perfect stand, owing to the
drought. The bare spots in these fields
will first be gone over with sharp
spike harrow, or with disk harrow;
crimson clover and common clover will
then be sown side by side, and lightly
covered in with smoothing harrow. A
light seeding of oats as a nurse crop
may be added on part of the land, for
comparison, but we expect the bess re-
suits from seeding the clover alone.
Last seasons experience demonstrated
that the nurse crop may prove rob
Der instead of a nurse, by taking ali
the water from the soil and leaving no.le
for the clover.

SWEET CORN FODDER.
II Has Been Fed with Excellent Resalts
Down IN Maine.


Mr.. Walker McKcen, secretary Of
Maine state board of agriculture, says:
Previous to having silo we fed quito
large quantities of sweet corn fodder
cured, with excellent results. The best
way to manage this after it is cut is to
shock carefully and allow it to dry
thoroughly, then dray to the barn and
pack, preferably in u bay, in alternate
layers with oats, wheat or barley straw.
Make each layer not more than one foot
thick. The straw takes up the mois-
ture, prevents molding, and is made
better for feed by contact with the corn
fodder. We never packed corn with ears
on in this way, but see no reason why it
would not work equally well, the only
objection we can think of would be the
danger from mice. If well packed,
however, and fed from every day with
plenty of oats about the premises we
should not fear much damage from this
source. If you do not care to try this
plan stand as closely as you can in some
sheltered place, being sure to have it
placed in such a manner that it will re-
main standing. When feeding if you
have large proportion of corn you will
probably get better results by cutting
or shredding before feeding. Ii you
have but small proportion you will
have no trouble in feeding it by using
small amount each day along with
other folders. Animals will do well on
this fodder. One of the finest and larg-
est herds I know of kept for selling
milk in city is fed largely in winter
on this dried corn with ears on, their
owner using a large cutter, and two
horse power, cutting weeks feed
ahead and allowing it to heat slightly.
For our own use, however, we should
prefer the silo, as there will be saving
of labor and succulent food" m

ROYAL SAILORS uNLuckY.
Disasters That Have Overtaken Them -
Sea and Land.

Sea and on Land.
Somehow or other royal and imperial
princes who have adopted seafaring life
as a profession seem to be pursued with
Ill luck. AT ST. Petersburg the other
day Grand Duke Alexis, lord high adj
miral of the English fleet, managed to
run his yacht into the steamer Livorno,
with little damage to the latter, but in
Juring the yacht to the extent of some
100000 rubles. The collision was due
to an order given by the grand duke
himself, and when the captain of the
Liyorno came on board, with visions of
Siberia and other horrors in sight, the
grand duke at once exclaimed:
1T is all my fault. ! take the blame
upon myself"
His English brother-in-law, the duke
Of Edinburgh and Coburg, quilted ac-
tive service in the British navy with his
record besmirched by the loss of his
flagship, the Sultan, on a rock near
Malta.
Queen Victoria's nephew, the admiral
prince of Leinigen, is celebrated in par
ticular for his feat in running down the
yacht Mistletoe in the Solent while in
command of the royal yacht, the queen
herself being on board. Several lives
were lost in the collision.
The sailor brother of the emperor of
Germany has hitherto escaped mari
time disaster from the relatively small
amount of sea service he has done. But
his misfortunes on land have been I'M
commonly numerous, especially when
he has been out shooting. Not only did
he severely injure Greek gentleman
by the accidental discharge of his gun
at Corfu some years ago, but there Is
also a gamekeeper of his uncle, the
grand duke of Baden, who is in receipt
of q handsome pension from the prince
for the serious wound resulting from
his carelessness in handling the gun.
Archduke Macmillan of Mexico, who
was the sailor prince of the imperial
house of Hapsburg, met violent death
in Mexico at the close of his ill-starred
reign there, his consort surviving him
as a raving maniac. Archduke John of
Austria, who passed the examination
necessary to secure his papers as Ii
censed skipper, disappeared from sight
some years ago while rounding Cape
Horn in his ship, and no one knows 20
this day whether he is alive or dead.
The sailor son of King Oscar of Sweden
quarreled with his father on the suo-
ject of his marriage. and had to GO
through much trouble and sorrow as
we'll as humiliation until the reconcilia-
ton took place. The matrimonial
squalls in the domestic establishment
of the sailor Prince Wildemar of Den
mark have almost led to definite sepa-
ration from his wife. The two sailor
brothers OF the late king of Portugal
died of poisoning by a terrible Abyssin-
ian drug administered by some member
of the court of Lisbon. Indeed, pretty
nearly the only royal princes following
the sea who have hitherto escaped mis-
hap are the duke of Y ork and the italian
duke of Genoa, the brother of Queen
Margherita.-N.Y Y. Tribune.

When to Use Soft Food.

One meal of soft food is sufficient, and
it should be given early in the morning.

as it is better to allow the hens to be
hungry so as to compel them to scratch

case they become very fat. AT night
scatter the grains SO that the hens will
have a job searching for them. Should
any be left over they will be found by
