Growing Fodder Corn.

Occasionally the hay crop fails, max
ing it necessary to provide some kind
of forage. Millet is usually depended
upon but is difficult to cure. I much
prefer fodder corn, closely drilled.
Two years ago / drilled a field of six
acres on the fourth Of June, using two
bushels of seed corn to the acre. It
gave me a full crop Of fodder with
many nubbins and some fair sized
ears. I cut the crop October 2, using
q reaper which dropped the fodder in
nice gavels. Two men set up in shock,
containing six gavels each, and tied
the tops with tarred binding Irvine.
When partially cured I had it all
bound into small bundles which were
set up in fair sized shocks, expecting
to store in the barn when thoroughly
cured. However, rains and snow
prevented this, so / hauled once a
week what was needed for my cattle
and sheep and gave my horses an oc-
casional feed.
Everything on the farm seemed to
like it better than hay. My cattle
never did SO well on rough feed with
out grain. This crop was worth as
much al a yield of three and one-half
to four tons of hay per acre. There
was not.100 pounds Of waste in the
whole lot. Last year I grew eight
and one-half acres planted on June -.

Poultry Hints.

Chicks need grit and charcoal daily.
Breakfast first for chicks before
water.
Water for chicks should be tepid.
not cold.
Meat or green bone only once every
other day.
A quart of soft food will breakfast
twelve fowls.
Fattening diet, middlings, buck
wheat and corn.
Green bone contains every element
found in the egg.
Best tonic for chicks: Corn meal
and bran wet up with clover tea.
Linseed meal four ounces twice a
week in soft food for twelve fowls.
Confinement is bad for chicks in
good weather after they are two weeks
old.
Poultry yards should be planted
with plum trees, and sown with rye OF
grass.
A scratching place, with a floor,
should be provided for hens. Cover
it with leaves, chaff Or fine hay and
scatter wheat on it. They will lay
more eggs for it.-Farm Poultry.

Of his prospective victims at the cafe.
that same mooth-voiced old gentleman

the Northwest it was as a boomer, and
the syndicate I was operating for set
me up in the newspaper business. The
primary purpose was to attract set
tiers, sell land and give the friends Of
my people political control; but to get
circulation l had to interest readers all
over the country. One scheme in this
direction was to run the spiciest per-
sonal column that I could put up. There.
wasn't a man who came to the place
that I didn't give a send-of to attract
general attention. I wasn't embar-
raised by any regard for the facts and
avoided unpleasant consequences by
using fictitious names or initials.

qualities. A week later he zane into
my little Office with a look that would
cause the average man to take to his
heels. His face. vas colorless and
drawn. His eyes glittered and he
ground his teeth when he was not talk

and then Daced the floor. It was q
dainty little missive, with the faint
odor Of violets. 1t told whatsthe fair
writer had read in my paper and how 1t
had filed her with a desire to know
such a manly paragon. She sought a

AT this end Of the province reigns one

n fine and great pearls; and l will
tell how they are got.
The sea here forms 4 gulf between
the Island Of Seilan and the mainland.
And all round this gulf the water has
q depth of no more than ten or twelve
lathoms, and in some places no more
IMAM TWO fathoms. The pearlfshers
take their vessels, great and small, and
proceed into this gulf, where they stop
from the beginning of April till the
middle Of May. They go first to a place
called Bettelar, and then go sixty miles
into the gulf. Here they cast anchor
and shift from their large vessels into
small boats. The merchants divide in
70 various companies, and each Of these
u engage a number of men on
wages, hiring them for April and half
or May. OF all the produce they have
hrst to pay the king, as his royalty, the
tenth part. And they must also pay
those men who charm the great fishes,
to prevent them from injuring the
divers while engaged in seeking pearls
under water, one-twentieth part of all
that they may take.
n fish-charmers are termed
A~braiaman; and their charm holds
good for that day only, for at night
they dissolve the charms so that the
fishes can work mischief at their will,

as long as they are able. And there
they find the shells that contain the

Up to the surface with them, and then
dive anew. When they can't hold their
breath any longer they come up again,
and, after a little, down they go once
more, and so they go on all day. These
shells are in shape like oysters or sea-
hoods. And in these shells are found
pearls, great and small, of every kind,
sticking in the flesh of the shellnsh.
In this manner pearls are fshed in

When Laundering Linen.

Only the best of laundry soap may
be used on table linens. All others
will turn them yellow and possibly rot
the texture because of the free alkali
they contain. The blue used to tint
the linen after the last rinsing must
also, be Of the best; stains like iron rust
are caused by the chemical ingredients
Of inferior blue mixing with starch and
producing lodide. Frequent rinsings
in pure cold water after washing and
an occasional bleaching upon the grass

linen white and sweet.

Sleeping Quarters for Hogs,

A very good arrangement for sleep
ing quarters for hogs consists of a
house six feet wide, east and west,
and from six to ten feet long north to
south. Let the side walls be made of
broad boards and about eighteen
inches high, nailed up as a box and
cover with a comb roof at half pitch.
Entirely close up north end and close
up the gable at south end down to
where hogs a walk under nicely.
Spike a strip n and one-half by six
inches securely across next to the
ground at south end. For bed fill
about six inches deep with dry cobs
from the corn shelter. They do not
get dusty or heat. When you wish
to clean the bed lift the house off of
the bed and set fire to bed and burn
it. Then set house back in same
place and refill with cobs as before.
When convenient, locate sleeping
house twenty-five rods or more from
feeding place, that hogs will take more
exercise in going t0snd from feed. I

For good whitewash for your bed
room ceiling put a piece of lime weigh
ing about five pounds in a granite pan
OF bucket; pour on it a gallon of water,
allow it to boil and slack until the
steaming is over; take from this two
quarts of the liquid lime, put it in a
wooden or granite bucket, and add suf-
ficient water to make it rather thin.
Add a small amount Of pure indigo,
sufficient to give it the proper color;
add a teaspoonful of salt and half a
teaspoonful Of lampblack, stir well.
This will give you a perfectly white
