Large Enough.

A foot traveller through one Of the
hilly regions of Ireland came one day
to a curious little cabin, so small as to
seem hardly fit for human habitation
While she was whimsically considering
as to whether it might be the abode of
the famous good people," about whom
so many loving superstitions cling, the
figure of a short, stout old man emerg-
ed from the cabin and stood confront
ing her in smiling silence. After salu
tations had been exchanged the travel
er laughingly told the old man that she
had half fancied his dwelling the home
of the good fairies.
NO, indade, ma'am, but it's good
warm place, God bless it," replied the
old man with a genial smile.
But surely you cannot stand up in
it?' the traveller said.
AN fwhat made to sthand, maam %
returned the owner of the tiny house.
'.Shure. an OF can come outside to do
that same, an whin Oi'm inside it's me,
self that can aither go to bed or lie
down, a'am.'
There was such a warmth in the
smile with which this cheerful philoso.
ply was propounded, that the traveller
was not disposed to pick flaws in it,
and smiled in acceptance of its truth.
Young man, stay with your mother as
long as you can; you cannot deceive

1.-THE Rock" which is the organ of

''The Rock" which Is the organ Of
the ultra Low Church party in the
English Church, cordially agrees with
the Pope's decision against the validity
of American orders. 1t says that, as a
matter of fact, the English Church at
the Reformation did reject the sacerdo-
tai idea of orders which is taught in
the Roman Catholic Church. This
would indicate that the Low Church
men in the English Church intend to
use the Pope's decision as an excuse for
breaking away more completely than
ever before from the traditions of
Roman Catholicism. If so, renewal
of the controversy between the High
and Low Church parties may be looked

Summer Forage Crops.

Corn is the best soiling crop. Oats.
peas and barley, sown early in April
and the first part of May produce a
rich feed for all stock, especially for
milch cows and young pigs. In moist
season the crop will be heavy one.
1t is valuable for rich clay beans
Sandy or gravelly soils are too dry and
hot. Plant corn in drills run two and
a-half feet apart. One bushel of corn
and 600 pounds of bone phosphate will
plant an acre. One acre, grown on
rich ground, In connection with pas
ture, will feed twenty-five COWS for a
month Make four sowings-the first
about the 10th, the second about the
25th Of May, the third on the 10th and
the fourth about the 25th Of June.

Poultry Points.

A fresh egg has a nmelike surface to
its shell.
Examine the droopy hen. 1t Is prob
ably lice and immediate attention is
necessary.
Scatter lime broadcast over your
yard. 1t is a splendid thing for both
young and old fowls.
Too much soft cooked food is not
good for fowls. They need some en-
ployment for the gizzard.
Keeping poultry with success is not
difficult feat to perform; the chief re-
quisite is common sense.
Don't try to keep all the different va
rieties of poultry. Two or three varie-
ties of the best are plenty.
Overfeeding is expensive. 1t not only
costs more for feed, but the hens get
too fat and lay no eggs.
One good thoroughbred fowl can of
ten be sold for as good price as doz-
en- poor ones and cost no more to raise.
Clean up and disinfect all feed and
watering troughs. This Is especially
necessary If wooden troughs are used.
The gizzard of the fowls masticates
the food, but this can only be done by
the aid Of sharp, gritty material. BE
sure this is supplied.
Don't fail to whitewash the house
outside as well as inside. 1t adds to
the appearance and really is as much
benefit as the inside work.
Broken bones are often more highly
relished than when ground. A hen
will sometimes refuse bone meal and
yet will readily eat broken bones.
Feather pulling is the most perni-
cious Of all vices. The habit usually
comes from idleneSs and can generally
be prevented by keeping fowls busy.
If the ground around the poultry
house door gets muddy in soft weather
throw coal ashes for a few yards from
1t so the hens will have dry feet all o.

The Alahama Leoislature talks

The Alabama Legislature talks of
confining the carriage of firearms to
citizens "of good moral character and
possessed of reputation for peace and
quiet" who have $40 with which to pay
for license. There might be some
people without the requisite $50, but it
is safe to say that no freeborn
citizen Of Alabama would be deprived
of the contents of his pistol pocket by
reason of character or reputation with
out indulging in some unlicensed pistol
practice.

Justice in South Africa.

Some idea of justice as it Is admins
tered in johannesburg, South Africa,
may be derived from the following Sc
lections from a newspaper which has
just been received from that portion OF
the Dark Continent. One Of them
reads: "a cab driver named Cornellis,
convicted of driving a couple Of female
passengers out of town and assaulting
them, was ordered to pay fine Of ESQ
or undergo four months of hard labor"
The other is as follows: Hermann
Chic Chissin was to-day mulcted in the
sum of ESQ for selling bottle Of liquor

Did Not Hold His Peace.

l attended a mountain wedding in
Mcdowell County in West Virginia,
said pOstoffice inspector. Everything
went along smoothly at first. The cabin
was brilliantly lighted with candles
and one Of the best fiddlers in the coun-
ty was present to furnish music for the
dance to follow the wedding cere-
mony. Nothing occurred to mar the
proceedings until the minister came to
the point where he invited any one
who had anything to say why the cou-
pie should not enter the bonds of mat
rimony to speak or thereafter hold his
peace, when a rough mountaineer
arose and said:
Anything ter say, parson? Waal |

marry thet gal myself, an thet feller

event goes any farder the taller-faced

In vain the preacher tried to restore
order. A ring was soon squared in the
center of the room, and the men went
at it. In about ten minutes the groom
announced that he had enough, and
the victor, taking the arm of the blush
ing bride, deliberately changed the
groom's name in the marriage license
to his own, while the vanquished lover
made his escape. Everybody appeared
to be satisfied, and the marriage took
place as though nothing had occurred
to mar the solemnity of the occasion.

Lived in Goat-Hair Tents

Rupshu, a district on the north slope
of the Himalayas, $4,000 feet above the
sea level, and surrounded by noun
tains from 5000 to 5,C00 feet higher
has a permanent population of 500 per-
sons who live in goat-hair tents all the
year round. Water freezes there every
night, but no snow falls on account of
the dryness of the air. The people are
shepherds and dress in pajamas and a
long cloak, wearing an additional cloak
in unusually cold weather.

Care for Transplanted Trees.

Thousands of dollars are every year
wasted by neglect of proper care for
trees that have been transplanted
The most common cause of this is III
the idea that plenty of water applied to
the roots can be made a substitute for
frequent cultivation. Newly trans
planted trees really need little water
on the soil. The roots of newly planted
trees cannot at once begin to supply
plant food from the soil. They need
time and contact with moist soil, but
not too wet, before new roOtlets can
put forth. To keep the soil sodden with
water while the roots are in this semi
dormant condition is to rot them. Less
water with thorough surface cultiva-
ton, to keep the surface soil loose and
prevent rapid evaporation, is what is
needed. If water is applied it should
be in moderate amounts, and often by
spraying so as to keep the buds from
whitening until the roots can supply
them with moisture,

Swine Notes.

The true secret of profitable breeds
is in the feed and care given them
Health is the first thing for the swine
breeder to look after The healthy hog
makes the best gain and gives the most
profit.
See that the young pigs get plenty Of
exercise in the sunshine and that they
have dry place to sleep. Wet bedding
and damp sleeping quarters are fruit
full source of diarrhea in young pigs.
The hog Is but machine to convert
corn and other food into pork, and
pork brings what we are most in need
of-money. If the hog is a machine
and we are going to keep some of these
machines for use, we surely want the
very best attainable.
With right mana cement SOW should
produce two litters of pigs each year,
and two, or three sows will usually sup
ply adj the average farmer will care to
feed and fatten. With care in breed
ing and in fostering these can be so dis
tributed that some will be preparing
for the market at all seasons.
Sorghum has been fed to pigs with
success. At the Arkansas station sor-
ghum stalks, when filled with sugar,
were fed with no bad results, but on
the other hand quite favorable returns.
At the Wisconsin station skimmings
were fed from the evaporating pan
with fair success to pigs.

How Much Tile Per Acre?

There are two extremes in tile drain
ing. The beginner is apt to think tile
drains are only needed where Water
stands on the surface in hollows, and
has to be drawn off. But when this Is
done, it leaves the soil in these hol.
lows so much dryer and better fitted
for cropping that the farmer sees that
even the uplands, that had been sup
posed dry enough, need draining also,
Usually the first drains are put in too
shallow. That, if continued, means
large useless expenditure for tile. No
where should underdrains be dug less
than three feet deep. They will then
drain perfectly two to two and naif
rods on each side of the underdrain.
The soil will hold so much more water
with a deep drain that it will not re-
quire larger size than will a shallow
one

shower. Shallow cultivation will de
stroy weeds quite as effectively as deep
while it can be done with less than
fourth of the labor. The time to de
stroy weeds is just when they appear
above the surface. Thorough tillage
includes the destruction Of all weeds
as soon as they appear. Neither weeds
nor grass of any sort should be allow,
ed to rob the soil of one atom of its fer.

labor, but not hard labor if the right

NEW york STOCK MARKET.

New York. March 2-The reason for
tha recent sensational advances in Lake
Shore was disclosed to-day when the an
nouncement was made in Wall street
that the directors of the company had
authorized an isue OF $50,000,O00 Of 312
per cent, 100 year gold bonds, the pro
eeeds to be used for the retirement Of
the present bonded debt as it natures
ia the next few years or in advance Of
maturity as arrangements may be made
with the holders Coupled with this was
an announcement that the directors had
accepted an offer from a well known
banking house for the entire issue at
1927.
The market opened with show Of
strength but yielded before long to the
effect Of marked depression IN New
