Value of Cultivation.

Cultivation is given to destroy weeds
to make plant food in the soil available
and to conserve moisture.
In order to secure the best growth
and yield. the weeds must be kept down
as allowing them to grow, robs the crop
plants of food and moisture. But cult
walton would be necessary if there we're
no weeds. In all soils there is more or
less latent plant food in the soil that
needs the action of air, sunshine and
moisture to put in soluble condition, as
all plant food must be soluble in order
to be available. Giving thorough cul-
tivatiou in good season helps materially
in making plant food in the soil avail
able for use by the growing plants.
Stirring the surface Of the soil fire.
quently, keeping it Rne and mellow aids
materially to retain moisture in the soil
and with ell plants q certain amount Of
moisture is necessary il a good growth
is maintained. One of the principal
advantages in level cultivation over hill.
ing up is that the moisture in the soil
does not dry out so rapidly Another
advantage in level cultivation is that it
can be repeated as often as may be con-
sidered necessary TO secure good growth
and yield. There is little risk Of Guilt
waiting too much, in fact in q majority Of
cases the more through the cultivation
the better the growth aud yield.-Ex.

Care Of Young Turkeys.


From Reliable Poultry Journal
OF one thing there must be certain
ty, and that is, that they are kept free
from lice and mites Then it is equally
certain that if not careful in the use Of
remedies for these the poults may be
killed. A little pure lard on the head
around the vent, and on the wings,
where the flight feathers come out, may
be used to advantage, but too much is
absolutely fatal
Feed nothing for twenty four hours
When you take them of the nest take
all the pip of the bill and give grain
of black pepper, cracked with the teeth
Now, this may not do one particle of
good, but from childhood | have seen it
practiced and so do it, If possible, put
them out where there is short grass, for
there is nothing poult likes better than
grass Milk curd is the best food ever
used for young turkeys. Where this is
scarce table scraps are very fine. | know
lady who Matched and raised twenty
five turkeys without the loss of one until
they were grown, and she simply sup
piled their food from the table, giving
lettuce and onions as green food, and
buttermilk or sweet milk was used 10

I do not know what shall do for
wheat this year 1t will be pretty hard
to pay one dollar bushel for wheat,
but the turkeys must be fed, so | shall

the new crop comes on, and if we do
not raise it we can buy it cheap. like
little whole wheat put in the feed from
the first The poults do not get it at
first, but the old mother does, and by
the time they are old enough 70 eat it
they will have learned how.
1t is very hard to get young turkey
to change its habits of eating. If you
commence feeding them in plate, it is
hard to change to pan or on the ground.
Tho same holds true of the diet. What
ever they learn to eat at first is what
they want until they are grown see

in feeding too much II they are fed
only little while when very young,
still not allowed to get hungry it will
save much trouble. If the feed could
be scattered and the turkeys allowed to
hunt for it, it would be much better for
them,

think the dampness of the ground gives

Agricultural.
The Farm Corn Crop.

Having had years Of experience am
convinced there is no other grain crop
grown by the average farmer that will
produce SO much good, nutritious food
from q given amount Of seed and land
as corn. The yield per acre can be
greatly increased and more acres be left
in clover and grass. To do its best
corn requires rich soil, either natur-
ally or artiicially underdrained. The
ideal preparation is to pillow under o
clover sod and treat thin spots to coat
of stable or barnyard manure, so as to
secure an even growth all over the field.
Next to q clover sod l prefer timothy
sod, next wheat stubble, and last Of all
corn stubble. Ground well plowed is
half narrowed. Use a good pillow, sup
piled with wheel and jointer. The wheel
makes the pillow run steadier and regu-
lates depth. The jointer throws all the
rubbish and sod into the bottom Of the
furrow, where it will not bother in cul-
tivation and more readily decay. By
not making burrows too wide and turn
ing them at an angle of 80 or 40 de-
grees, we shall have an ideal place fol
the seed. Pillow as soon as the soil is
dry enough to crumble nicely from the
mold board.
Before planting, the ground must be
worked down into q fine, mellow seed
bed. The spring tooth harrow is q
splendid implement to cut the ground
up with, and if it happens to be cloddy
l prefer g plank drag to a roller. Just
before planting use fine tooth smooth
ing harrow which will leave the surface
fine and level. In planting | use the
wire check rover and plant in hills
three and one-half feet each way. 1t il
easier to cultivate, the ground can be
kept more level, it is much easier to
harvest;and get just as large yields
when it is planted in hills as in drills.
As soon as corn is planted, begin cul-
tivating by using light, 6ne-toothed
harrow, and again in three or four days
use the same implement and go Cross
wise of the previous narrowing. As
soon as we can see the corn along the
row replant missing hills and start the
two-horse cultivator. | use cultivator
with three small shovels on a side the
first blowing l pillow very close to the
corn, and after this blowing if the
ground is inclined to be dry, use the
roller and follow this again with the
cultivator. After this cultivate each
week, each time crosswise of the pre-
ceding time, shallower and farther from
the corn Continue this oultivating
until grain and hay harvest begins.
After this do nothing more to it, ex-
cept 60 through with hoe in July and
August and remove stray weeds. IN,

A parallel of the bruce case is an
nounced in a dispatch from Johannes

Charles Gum has been arraigned on
the charge Of fraud. He declared he
was a brother of the late Duke of Ham
ilton and left England after fighting a.
duel. For private reasons. he added
his death was formally announced there
was sham funeral, and his coffin was
placed in the mausOleum at Hamilton
palace, Lanarkshire. Gum asks that
the coffin be opened in order to verify
his statement The story has aroused
a great deal of interest here, as it is
tantamount to a claim upon the duke
dom of Hamilton, the present duke only
succeeding to the title owing to the abb
sence of a nearer next of kin than a
cousin. The late dukes brother. Lord
Charles George Archibald Hamilton
was supposed to have died at Nice in
1855 His death was registered at
Somerset house but the cause Of his
death was not given.

A DISASTROUS YEAR FOR
NAVIGATION.

The year that is drawing to a close
has proved one of the most disastrous
in the entire history of navigation. Many
stanch vessel has gone down and
many gallant sailors are mOurned in
homes all over the world. The ill-fated
BOurgOgne of course heads the list. The
loss of life resulting from her collision
with the CromartyShire stands almost
without parallel in maritime annals.
And as If the fOgS that caused her de-
struction did not add enough to the
dangers of the sea, the storms of this
year have been of extraordinary Vio-
lence and duration. Only a few weeks
ago the steamer MOhegan ran on the
shore in the English channel and the
loss of a hundred lives was reported.
And now comes the terrible news that
the American coastwise steamer Port
land has foundered in the open sea off
Cape Cod, carrying down with her one
hundred and sixty souls. 1t is more
than probable that scores of New Eng
land cOaSting vessels met destruction
in the same storm, and the wives and
mothers of Gloucester and Marblehead
fishermen are scanning the Sea-line
anxiOusly for first glimpse of the top
sails Of the schOoners that bear their
sons and husbands and sweethearts.
It has, indeed, been a long, terrible
year on the sea, and has been an I'M
usually busy twelve months for the life
savers. Hardly a week has passed
without a striking instance of their
bravery and skill in snatching lives out
or the very teeth of the surf. 1t needs
the most wonderful staying powers to
endure the long pull through the surf
It requires natchless GOODNESS to cast d
lifeline accurately while the life boat
reels and staggers on the crest of
towering breaker, and nerves of steel to
withstand the buffeting of the waves
and the singing bite of the icy, salt
spray. One must see the surf on Cape
Cod or on Nantucket under a raging
nOrtheaster to understand and appre-
ciate the self-sacriffcing life of Uncle
Sans life-savers. On the great lakes,
unusually in force and frequency, and
the ife-saving stations of the inland
seas have done yeoman service Our
illustration is taken from a strikfngly
life-lilze drawing in Harper's Weekly
by the we'll known artist, ReuterdahI,
and depicts with great accuracy, the
gallant rescue of the men of the steam
er Iron Cliff, that was wrecked off the
government breakwater outside Chi
cagO harbor.

General Kitchener is SIN waiting fol

General Kitchener is still waiting for
this financial prodigy.
Rudyard KipIing has published in the
Times a poem, supposed to be the trans
lation of a song by Sikh infantryman
on hearing that General Kitchener is
about to establish the Gordon college
at Khartoum. The last verse, speak
ing of the English, runs;
They do not consider the meaning of
things,
They consult no creed or clan.
Behold, they clap the slaves on the
back
And behold he becometh a man.
They terribly carpet earth with dead,
And before their cannons cool
They walk unarmed by tWOS and threes
To call the living to school"
KipIing has accepted the vice presi-
dency of the Navy league and proposes
to take an active part in the movement
to which the present efficiency OF the
British navy, it is generally admitted,
is in a large measure indebted.
A letter from st. Petersburg relates
that the czar, who is rather proud of his
tenor voice, which is sweet and admir-
ably trained, though not of great vol
ume, was in very gay spirits and in ex-
cellent form at the recent musical par
ty at the imperial villa at Livadia- He
sung a couple of airs particularly well
and was so pleased with himself that,
turning from the piano to an apprecia-
tive court audience, he laughingly ex-
claimed:
'FWel, my children, my enemies say
many harsh and unkind things of me
and accuse me Of being destitute of
many capacities. But 1 defy them to
say I cannot sing as well as the best of
them"
Although the subscription list to the

districts into which Wesleyan England
is divided. Three London districts guar

Twenty-eight districts have not been

The auction sale of the Lorillard-
