A "DEApHoUsE" DRINK.

This Is description of the worst "dead-
house" in New York. In all parts OF the
city, save the brownstone and ambitious
business blocks, what are known as "dead-
houses" abound. "deadhouse' being
simply a place where the v1lest possible
liquor Is sold for the smallest sum, the dis
covery of the lowest "deadhouse" In all New
York is matter Of interest
There are so many utterly low ones-loW
beyond the point OF picturesqueness, and so
absolutely sodden In the class OF men that
drift into them-that the very lowest Is dift-
Quito name. But from one peculiar custom
that DISTINGUISHES the place.. that "dead-
house" on Eighteenth street. between Ave
nue. and First avenue, In the heart OF the
old Gas House District, deserves the name
and fame.
Unique is the custom that rules there IN
behalf of the besotted tramp who has the
necessary coin. It has succeeded In making
this place Mecca for Migrants and "bums
from everywhere in New York, Brooklyn
and New Jersey. They know that IN this
stable, they can get for nickel not only the
most potent and fiery of liquids, but actually
more Of 1t than anywhere else. =,
Glasses in this "deadhouse," 80 Tar as the
flve-cent trade is concerned, are never USED.
The grim old proprietor has q far better
scheme than that. Attached to barrel OF
what he calls by courtesy whisky Is short
rubber hose with mouthpiece. The tramp
who shuff1es in and asks for this liquor hrst
pays for it, and is then handed the hose.
Through this he is allowed to drink as much
of the fiery potion as he can without draw
ing breath. The instant he stops to breathe,
it is with no uncertain hand that the "bar'
keep" jerks the hose from the outcast's lips,
sententiously remarking that II he wants any
more he will have to put up another nickel
Long practice has given many OF the "ho-
boes" remarkable power OF suction, ana,
with the hose between their lips, they con-
trive to draw In truly enormous quantity
of this deadly intoxicating poison.
If there are stranger sights In the city than
this paradise of the trsmps, they are hard TO
find. The "deadhouse" itself, alone and
without lts crowd of greasy, filthy, tattered
and unkempt patrons OF each night, is worth
a visit. A sign, "Distillery," appears on its
outside walls. and within, on both sides and
at the back, It Is heaped up with barrels and
kegs Of liquor OF every kind. Far back a
rough counter stands, behind which is the
"barkeep," and underneath at the end, the
famous barrel, draught of which Is the end
in life for many human wreck.-NeW YORK

But it is with the dragon men call "Drink."
Fight on and fear not, God is on our side.
We struggle for the sanctity Of home;
We battle gainst desolation wide,
That threatens generations yet to come;
Fight on, unheeding Of the present pain,
Till the red dragon of the age is slain.

Feeders are coming to recognize
more and more the necessity Of plenty
of green food for stock when grass Is
getting short. Owners of dairy cattle
in particular feel this necessity. :.
For two years, at the Indian Ext
pertinent Station, We have planted
Canada field peas and oats for
this purpose. The first year of plant
ing we scattered pea seeds at the rate
of bushel and one.half an acre over
the ground, and plowed this in three
or four inches deep. A bushel and
one.half of oat seed par acre was then
scattered over this plowed land, which
was then thoroughly narrowed. !,
In 1895 the above practice was not
followed. The land was plowed about
seven inches deep and then harro wed
to fine tilth. A mixture of oats and
peas, as the rate of one and one.half
bushels each per acre, was then drilled
in to the depth of about two inches
The plants thrived with great vigof
until severe drought checked their
growth, in common with all other farm
crops. Either method of planting will
no doubt be satisfactory. +!
In planting oats and peas, the
first seeding should be gotten in at
the earliest date possible, when the
land may be satisfactorily worked;
One or two more paintings, at ten.dsg
intervals, will give good succession
of crops, covering about six weeks.
While cutting the green crop may
begin as early as wished; after some
length of stalk has been secured, it is
advisable to wait until the oat head bef
gins to expand, and when the peas arg
passing from the bloom. The best
plan is to secure the green fodder as
close to the maturity stage as possible
consistent with about three weeks. OF
use for soiling. 1
Oats and peas make highly nutri.i
tious and pslstable food. They also give
the earliest green fodder to be secured
from paintings of the same season, and
follow nicely after winter rye for soii-
ing. This crop is coming more sn9
more into favor. Oats and peas should
only be planted early in spring, as
these plants, as rule, will not thrive
from May or summer seedlings. !
If not all fed green, the balance OF
the crop may with advantage be plowedl
under or cured for hay. 49,. l
The expense for seed is not great:
Oats may be bought in the market atll
prices varying from fifteen to twenty
five cents per bushel, according to io-i
cation. The pea seed purchased BY
this station this spring cost ninety
cents bushel laid down at the home
depot. In buying, be sure and get
Canada field pea seed. IL
Green oats and peas are eaten with
relish by horses, cattle, sheep and
| swine.-C. s. Plumb, Director Pur.

supplying their own pollen to fructify
the pistils. Others have only pistils,
and must have the pollen supplied ~
the other kind, or they will not be
fertile. Thus it is necessary to know
the kind Of plants and set the plstln.
ate kinds in two rows on each side OF
the perfect or staminate plants. Ihe
latter then supply the pistiliate var1e.
ties with the fertilizing pollen and
thus secure fruit. In procuring plants
this distinction is to be considered.
The plants should set eighteen inches
apart in the rows, the runners made
during the summer being set in; these
spaces to fill up the rows, leaving the
plants nine inches apart if only one
runner is rooted, and the others cut
off as soon as they appear. This will
give the strongest plants. !
To have strawberries in perfection
q new plantation should be made every
year in the spring. It is possible to
save one or two of the late runners
made after the fruit has been gath
cred for the new planting. But it is
the best way to root the runners thus
made in small strawboard boxes with
out bottom. a mere roll OF the board
tied with string or piece Of the
handy bobbin wire. All other runners
are removed as soon as they appear.
leaving those saved to make good
plants that may be set in permanent
bed late in the summer. They will
then make firm hold on the soil and
will 90 through the winter with safety.i
In this way, by little attention, one
will not need to buy plants every,
year.-New York Times.

home when He came here Have you ever
thought Of the homesickness OF Christi Some
OF YOU know what homesickness Is when you
have been only few weeks absent from the
domestic circle. Christ was thirty-three
years away from home. Some OF you feel
homesickness when you are hundred or a
thousand miles away from the domestic
circle. Christ was more million miles away
from home than you could count II all your
life you did nothing but count. You know
what It Is to be homestck even amid pleasant
surroundings, but Christ slept In huts, and
He was ath!rst, and He was a-hungered, and
he was on the way from being born in
another mars barn to being buried in
another mans grave.
I have read how the Swiss, when they are
far away from their native country, at tho
sound OF their National air get 80 homesick
that they fall into melancholy, and some
times they die under the ehomesickness. But,
oh, the homesickness Of Christ! Poverty
homesick for hosanna. WEAKNESS home
sick for rest Homesick for angelic
and archangelic companionship. Home :
sick to get out Of the night, and
the storm, and the worlds execration.
Homesickness will make week seem as
long as a month, AMI 1t seems to me that Il =
three decades of Chrisl's residence on earth
must have seemed TO Him almost as inter-
mipable. You have often tried to measure
the other pangs OF Christ, but you have
never tried 10 measure the magnitude anu
ponderosity OF Saviour's homesickness.
take 4 step farther and tell you that
Christ was in an exile which He knew would
end in assassination. Holman Hunt, the
master painter. has picture IN which he
represents Jesus Christ in the NaZarene car
penter shop. Around Him are the saws, the
hammers, the axes. the drills OF carpentry.
The picture represents Christ as rising from
the carpenters working bench and weariiy
stretching out His arms as one will after be-
ing In contracted or uncomfortable posture.

Army Worm Heading This Way.

The army worm is reported to be at
Youngsville, Warren county, where it
has moved down fields of oats and other
green stuff.
This famous worm is little over an
inch long, of gray or dingy black color
with stripes of narrow lines of white on
back, and the under surface is of more
or less greenish color; the head is
smooth and yellowish, with two black
lines running from top to mouth. 1t has
sixteen legs. When in the moth state the
female is said to lay about $50 very small
white eggs, and these hatch in from eight
to ten days. A circular from DIR. War
rem, State Zoologist, says that the best
means of fighting the worm is to NOW a
wide swath around the invaded field,
then plow a deep furrow with the straight
side toward the part to be protected, and
at intervals of a few feet make holes with
a crow-bar, or dig small pits into which
the worm entrapped in the ditch will fall.

The "army worm" of which there is
just now good deal found in the papers,
has not as yet been reported in this i'm
mediate vicinity, although tits said he's
working this way. The Marienville Err
press of last week says the pest has
struck that section "and is getting in
his work in dead earnest. The worms
are repulsive looking, but they have a
faculty of getting over the ground at a
lively gate, leaving in their wake devas-
ted fields and gardens. As far as is
known there is no way of checking the
ravages of the worm, consequently grow
ing crops are at their mercy. They eat
and destroy most everything but hem
lock bark and lumber. The damage they
have done in this and neighboring coun-
ties will reach into thousands Of dollars"
The dog-day season will soon be on.
Dog-days are so called from the fact that
the rising of the dog star (Sirius) is dur
ing the period beginning on Friday last,
coincident with the rising of the sun. To
the ancients the heat of tho season was
connected with the appearance in the
morning of Sirius, the greatest and
brightest of the heavenly bodies. They
considered the dog star as raging, and
gave the time the appellation of the dog
days. In those times they thought tho
star had a bad effect on dogs, and il
Greece there was a special festival for the
killing of dogs during the season. By
the procession of the equinoxes the ris
ing of Sirius has gradually become later
and in a few thousand years it will take
place in the depth of winter.
