Various Ways of Correctly Guiding the

Various Ways Of Correctly Guiding the
Course Of q Vessel.
Gustav Kobbe contributes an article
to st. Nicholas. Mr. Kobbe says:
Sailors steer by the wake of the ship.
When vessel is running free-that is.
with the wind dead astern-she must
leave straight wake. or she is not run
ming straight course When she is con
the wind" her canvas full, not shiver-
ing-when she is
As near as she will lie
By keeping full and bye
her wake will be at an angle greater or
less, according to the force of the wind
and the speed of the vessel. This angle
measures what we call the ships "lee
way;'-that which she loses from true
course. With vessel hove to in gale
the leeway becomes very large and is
called the drift"
Coasting craft steer by the line Of
white surf on the shore or in thick
weather by its roar as it breaks on
the beach or rocks. They haul in to
catch the sound, then keep off until
they lose it, and then haul in again to
q central line and maintain it. An old
sea dog once told me that one thick
night, coming up along the coast with
head wind SO that they had to tack in
and off shore. they sailed their tacks.
or ran their "legs," by candles-run.
ming off shore long enough to burn out
two candles, but burning one for the
inshore leg, SO as to avoid standing in
too close.
The Alaska steamers on the inside
route between the main coast and nu-
merous outlying islands steer, even in
running through the narrowest chan
nels, by the varying echoes of the pad
dies from the shores.
A given course can also be run by
soundings. or, rather, by line Of
soundings. In entering New York har-
Dor keep in, say, 10, 20, 40 fathoma, no
less. until you get 10 fathoms. If then
the lead shows fine white sand, look out
for Sandy Hook lightship. Coarse yell
low sand will land you on Fire island.

ter has nothing to do with early
laying.
Costly poultry houses are not nee
essarily part of the poultry bust
ness. More profit can be had from
the use of cheaper structures, and
the hens will be just as happy and
just as busy in them.
Sell off every cock which has no
special value, for they are of no use
to you now under the sun. More
than enough male company in the
poultry yard is nuisance at any
time.
Begin now to weed out the old
stock from the poultry, and the I'M
desirable young, A few good hens,
well cared for, will raise more chicks
next summer than If large flock is
crowded together in the coops; and
what sense Is there in keeping an
Improbable chicken, anyhow?
Why should poultry be considered
one of the luXuries to be reserved
for special occasions in many farm
ers' families? A pound of poultry
can be produced as cheaply as a
pound OF beef, mutton or pork, and
there is no reason why it should not
be an every day article of diet.
Scraps of meat should be given to
poultry twice a week. One cent u
pound is not too much to pay for
green bone, as a lot of meat clings to
the bone. Keep grit, cracked oys-
ter shells and green food before them
all the time.
Lean meat will cause hens to
moult more speedily, and now is the
time for feeding it. A teaspoonful
of sulphur for dozen fowls, mixed
with their feed and given twice a
week, will help them greatly
through the moulting period.
DO not neglect the hens in any
particular if you expect to get full
supply Of eggs. Be sure to furnish
them juicy foods, such as cabbage,
lettuce, turnip green's and cooked
Irish potatoes in the winter.

Canes which have borne one sea-
son never bear again; hence the me-
cessity for keeping a supply of new
wood every year.
While tree will stand almost
any amount of water, it cannot ex-
list if any water remains about its
roots. Good drainage is almost es-
sential.
Trim the grapes in the fall. Train
the vines so that they may be laid
down and covered with earth in
winter, raised and tied to the trellis
again In the spring. Vines one or
two years old will not bear, and
should be cut to two or three buds.
Never mind about the condition of
the moon when setting out trees.
Plant them right and care for them,
and they will do their best. 1t is a
sad mistake to turn them out to
grass before they are weaned from
the nursery, or to forget that they
need cultivation just as much as
does corn or other vigorously grow
ing plants.

Dairy and Stock.

Don't breed immature animals.
Some dark rainy day go into the
COW stable and see how dark it is,
and then locate several windows.
Be careful not to dry the heifers
in milk when stabling them for the
winter. Milk them clean, pamper
their appetites and be good to them.
If they will milk right through to
calving, all the better. A heifer
easily learns to dry off early and
will ever after remember the trick
When mature she will be profitable

she might be kept at "a loss if dry,

Laziness often resorts to very
ingenious arguments to justify It
SELF and some lazy men eXpend
more energy in hunting excuses
than would be required to do their
work. We have heard men argue
that horses should not be groomed
in winter because grooming opened
the pores. and the horse was more
sensitive to the cold. The reasons
for grooming the horse do not freeze
up. They are applicable in winter
as we'll as in summer. Filth on his
hide is unwholesome to the horse in
all seasons.

They are taken away by the disease
which causes over one-siXth of all the
deaths in the world-the disease which
the doctors call consumption. There is
absolutely no reason in the world why
consumption should be fatal-why it
should be even serious. 1t is disease
of the blood, and can be cured absolute
ly and always by purifying and en-
riching the blood The only excep-
ton to this is the case where the disease
has been neglected and improperly
treated until it is stronger than the
body-until the body has become so
weak as to have lost the ability to re-
cuperate. DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery will cure 50 per cent of all

In burning all weeds, trimmings

Celery in process Of blanching is
less likely to decay if the leaves are
exposed to the air and sunlight in
mild weather. Loss frequently &C.
ours from too close covering.
Any time now when the shears are
sharp is a good time to prune grape
vines. In pruning remember that
fruit is borne on new canes only,
and each bud on this years growth
will throw out a cane next season
that will produce from one to three
clusters.
A mulch of manure on the rasp-
berry patch is good for next season
crop, but it should not be so heavy
near the plants as to furnish a har-
Dor for field mice, beneath which
they can down and eat the roots.
When vegetables are rather wet
when being stored, or appear to have
a tendency to rot a little, air-slaked
lime scattered among them will help
to dry off the dampness and check
the rot. The lime must itself be
dry, and is best If recently slaked.
This treatment causes more or less
shrinkage, but this is better than
loss from decay.

Horses.

Don't leave a quantity of manure

Continual whipping never made a

An encouraging tone of voice will

Count the cost of keeping an extra

early in December, 1897, the Sec
rotary Of Agriculture of the United
States will fix the quarantine line
on account Of Southern, or splenctic
fever. so as to prevent future out
breaks of fever due to cattle shipped
from the states now below the fever
line. This is of very great impOr-
lance to all the cattle breeders and
dealers in Tennessee, as an effort
will doubtless be made to place the
entire State of Tennessee below the
quarantine line, thus losing to the
stockmen of Tennessee thousands Of
dollars annually. A meeting of the

Sanitary Boards has been called to
meet at the New Planters House in
st. Louis, Mo-. on Dec. 2, at 10
O'Clock a. m, when the matter Of
quarantine will he fully discussed
