Give the cattle good feed aud care,
and the dust will remain thick on the

Don't forget to provide grit and

snowy ground affords no opportunity
for the hens TO help themselves, and
they must have supply in order to
do much at egg production.

In very severe winter weather fowls
should be kept closely housed all day
and all night if necessary to preserve
their combs. Give them plenty OF

BoNEMEAn OF DIFFERENT KINDS.

Bonemeal goes under various names,
such as ground bone, bone flour, bone.
dust, etc. We find in the market raw
bonemeal and steamed bonemeal.
Raw bonemenl contains the fat natur.
ally present in bones. The presence
OF the fat Is Objectionable, because it
makes the grinding more difficult and
retards the decomposition of the bone
in the soil, while fat itself has no
value rs plant food. When bones are
steamed, the fat is removed and the
bone is more easily ground. More
over, the chemical nature of the nitro
gen compounds appears to be changed
IN such manner that the meal under
goes decomposition in the soil more
rapidly than in case of raw bone. The
presence of ensily decaying nitrogen
compounds in bone hastens, in the
process of decomposition, 10 dissolve
more or less of the insoluble phos-
phate. Bonemeal should contain from
three to five per cent of nitrogen and
from twenty to twenty-five per cent.
of phosphoric acid. About one-third
to onc-foulth tn of the latter appears to
be in readily available condition.
Raw bonemeal generally contains
somewhat more nitrogen lone or two
per cent. and rather less phosphoric
acid than steamed bonemeal.
The tineness of the meal affects its
value; the finer the meal the more
readily available is it as plant food.
On account of the increased demand
Tor bones for various purposes, and
on account Of their increasing value,
these is considerable tendency to
adulterate bonemeal with such sub
stances as lime, gypsum, coal ashes,
ground oyster shells. ground rock
phosphate, etc. bulletin No. 81,

Tho Atlanta Constitution says that
the trouble between the Beers and the
British in South Africa has directed
public attention to the Dark Cont
nent Twenty years ago very little
was known of Africa. A few explor-
ers penetrated its forests and wrote
books, but the tide of immigration did
not turn in that direction. Recently
there has been big change in the sit
uation. The Beers have gained their
independence, but the British in Cape
Colony have never given up their idea
of extending their dominion into Cen
tral and East Africa, thus establish
ing an empire extending from Cairo
to the Cape of Good Hope. The Ger
mans, however, occupy large portion
of East Africa, and the Congo Free
State and also the Portuguese pos.
sessions. The discovery of gold and
diamond mines of course'draws people
to these regions, and now the country
has large white population, with
railway and steamboat lines, and
hourishing cities equipped with every
modern convenience. There are rail.
ways 5OOmiles long, and the country
Is boing settled by good classs of
colonists. Nearly twenty-five cities
have population of over 10, 600 each.
All indications point to Africa as the
continent upon which Europe will
hereafter expend her energy and her
capital. There will never again be
such a rush OF immigrants to this
country us we have had in the past.
In future they will go to Africa, and
gradually turn it into white mans
country. They will exterminate the
natives as we exterminated the Indians,
and before many years the native AZ
ricans will be In the minority. Under
European methods this heretofore al.
most unknown land will become q
thickly populated and civilized group
of States. Later tho colonies will
throw off their allegiance to the Euro.
pean Governments. and they will re-
peat the example OF the United
States. Perhaps the main point of in.
terest to us is the fact that immigra-
tion will never again be as great fac
tor in our upbuilding as it has been in
the past, The tide is turning to South

Close Shave With q leopard.

the following incident in his book,
"Tho Haunts of Wild Game: walked

gap, as we could not tell where the
dogs or the leopard had got to. I
heard slight rustic below, whether in

smeared paws were within six feet,
and could see his wicked yellow eyes
glaring savagely, and the saliva, red
tinged, dropping from the cleaning
tusks.

segai l fired down into the brute's
mouth, and with savage gasp he fell
down on to the ledge below. The

Sir Walter Besant, the English nov.
e'ist, in commenting on Hall Caine's
views of the United States, and pub
lished in the London Daily Chronicle,
says: ave don't know the American
people in this country, and we ought
to know them; they come over here
by the thousand, by the hundred thou
sand, and we do nothing to entertain
then or to make their acquaintance
or to show them that we should like
to know them. Are we ashamed of
ourselves-of our homes-of our
women, especially we do not
want to show ourselves to them? We
have no reason to be ashamed. The
Englishwoman is not so Intellectually
cultivated as the American, but she
need not fear comparison. As for the
people generally, am right glad to
see Hall Caine proclaiming the truth
about them; that is, that they are al
most ohildlike in their singleness of
heart, easily moved by simple things,
the youngest minded and the youngest
hearted people in the world. As did
not say this myself, 1 copy it, I steal
it, and l adopt it. The material great
ness of America takes away ones
breath; the kindness of the Americans
takes away ones power of criticism.
One does not 60 away from delight
full evening and begin at once to carp
and sneer and insinuate suggestions.
Only, if by any machinery We could
do something to make the American
visitor feel at home with US, we should
be doing great thing for ourselves.

belted esrls, but 1 want American
men and women of culture to be able
easily to meet English men and women

WHAT TIE SOIL NEEDS.

exhaustive Soils" So called, may
contain rs much plant food as others
that are considered fertile
The physical effect of fertilizers in
changing the~relation of the soil to
heat and moisture is of more i'm
portance than the amount of plant
food they furnish.
The effect of fertilizers depends
largely upon the season. Changing
seasons have more effect upon plant
growth than does the plant food in

velopment and yieM Of crops.
Deterioratiop>6f lands is due not SO
much to loss of plant food us to
changes in the texture of the soil in
relation to heat and moisture.
Making use of the rainfall is the
most important consideration of mod
ern agriculture.
Crop production is not directly linn
tied by the amount of rainfall. but by
the amount of moisture in the soil.
Production of crops depends upon
the control of moisture and heat in the
soil.
AS heat cannot be controlled, the
whole art of cultivation should be di-
rected toward the control of moisture.
Present methods of cultivation are
detrimental to soil and do not accom-
plish desired results.
The continued ,plowing at a GER
tain depth causes hard packing of
the sub-surtace, which forms a water
shed, causing surface drainage and
erosion of the soil by which thousands
OF acres of fertile lands are rendered
barren every year.
Sub-soiling (oosening of the under
soil tC depth of one and n half to two
feet) admits the water to the sub-soil,
prevents surface drainage and a sub
sequent erosion of the soil, takes away
surplus water without washing the sur
face and retains the moisture for fu-
ture use of crops.
Sub-soiling affords the only means
for controlling moisture in the soil
and is n key to successful crop raising.

FEEDING For EGGS.

IN the feeding of fowls we should
consider the object to lie obtained /;
whether it be for market, for eggs, or
1or show. If fowl is eating too much
fattening food, she will not lay well.
The best time to feed soft food is in
the morning, and it should be not and
stimulating. Do not feed them on the
ground, and do not allow the pans
from which they feed to become
soured and filthy. Give them sufli-
cient for one meal and no more at q
time. Rather let them go little
hungry and make them scratch, than
have them mope around ard become

come too fat, being active and vigor-
Gus, but the large breeds, being more
indolent, keep themselves rather quiet
and soon become too fat 1t is easy
to keep them within bounds by Judi
cious feeding.
Grain in excess should not be given,
while bulk may be allowed in the
shape of vegetables and green food.
There are many ways of preparing
cheap and nourishing foods which
contain all the elements of the eggs.
A piece of liver or meat scraps is
boiled to pieces in water. While
boiling add to gallon OF water pint
of soaked beans and the same of liu-
seed meal. When the whole is cooked
thicken with bran, middlings, ground
oats or corn meal. Add the meal, etc,
until the mess has thickened to stiff
dough. If milk be convenient it may
be scalded, either curds, buttermilk
or sweet skimmilk, and the bran, etc.
added. Chopped clover may be added,
turnips, carrots and potatoes also.
When green stuff is not procurable, a
few onions or cabbages, chopped. may
be added; also whatever scraps come
from the kitchen-- bits of fish, potato
parings, scraps of fat, etc. When no
green food is convenient, good clover
hay is chopped fine and stepped in
water over night. Next moi ming heat
the water and add any of the above.
We buy scraps of meat and run it
through the sausage machine with
young rye, grass or clover. Th is gives
excellent results.
All soft food should be salt, but con-
diments, such as red pepper, ginger,
etc., should be fed spariugly. Once
or twice week is often enough. The
best tonic is ii constant change of diet,
whicn promotes n regularity in the
system, always provided the food is
sound and wholesome. At night grain
must be fed.
There are many complaints that
fowls do not lay, even when we'll fed
and comfortably housed, but this is
due to not allowing them the proper
kind, or from feeding too much. 1t
is necessary to study the habits of each
breed, in order to know Just what to
do; the knowledge that is gained by
close study and practical experience
is valuable to the poulterer. Charcoal
should be fed to fowls occasionally,
or broken up and placed where the
fowls can get at it, as no one thing is
more conducive to health also broken
oyster or clam shells, lime or old plas-
tering, should be supplied in abun-
dance for material for egg shells.
Of course fresh, pure water is an
other essential to success in producing
eggs. Another essential is lime, in
the shape of whitewash, and those who
use it literally are the ones who keep
their flock healthy and cleanly. To
render whitewash more effective IN
dislodging or destroying lice and 9th.
er parasite nuisances, the addition OF
a little carbolic acid is Invaluable. for
scarcely anything else seems so dis,
tasteful to the vermin. Air -slaked
lime should be occasionally scattered
over the floor of the chicken house to
remove all unpleasant and uuhealthful
odors. The care bestowed on poultry
is not lost, as fowls appreciate kind
ness; the better the care and the moro
varied the food, the better the results
and the more profitable they will be
for the owner. American Agricultur-

Deadens Nose on Iron Bridges.

A means for preventing the noise
made by trains in passing over iron
bridges has been devised by German
engineer named Boedecker. He puts
a decking of one and oue-fourth-inch
planks between the cross girders, rest
ing on three-inch timbers laid on the
bottom fanges. On the planks dou
BILE layer of felt is laid, which is fixed
10 the vertical web of the cross girder.
At the connections with the CIR Ter
timber cover joint is placed on felt,
aud two hooked bolts connect the
whole firmly to the bottom hange.
Four inches of Stag gravel cover the
decking, which is inclined toward the
centre of the bridge for drainage pur-
poses. A layer of felt is laid between
the planks and the timhers they rest
upon, and the ironwork in contact
with decking and ballast is asphalted.
The decking weighs 600 pounds per
yard for a bridge eleven feet wide and
costs twenty-three cents II square foot.
1t is water tight, and has proved very
satisfactory in preventing noise --'
