Brief Mention.

The Rhode Island Agricultural col,
lege will start a short course of teach
ing the fine points of poultry.
Director Armsby of the Pennsylvania
station says, "On the whole, the out
look, so far as 1t can-be judged, is COM
paratively favorable for growing sugar
beets in this state; but, i'll my judgment,
at least another season s work should be
done before positive conclusions can be
reached.
The Boston market celery, although
but little grown in Rhode Island, is
still found in the market gardens about
Boston, where it has been grown for
more than 40 years.
The experiments in lining by the
Rhode Island station were continued
through the season of 1897 with clover
and grass. With but one exception the
crops showed marked benefit from the
application of lime.
1t was Peter Henderson who advocat-
ed the change from the trench TO the
surface method of growing celery be-
tween 1850 and 1860.
An American farmer can grow horses
as cheaply as he can grow cattle. We
have heavy and profitable export trade
in cattle and may have an export trade
equally heavy and profitable in horses,
says the secretary of agriculture.

Bergen county, n. J., it appears, is
becoming headquarters for winter horse
boarding. Hundreds Of valuable horses
are sent out from the city to pass the
winter in idleness. Formerly these horses
were fed ON oats and timothy hay, most
Of which was shipped in from New
York state, according to Rural New
Yorker. This hay has cost too much,
and korsemen have substituted corn
stalks with good satisfaction.
Last winter many horses were fed on
stalks and bran with little linseed
meal They wintered in excellent con-
dition at much less cost than when fed
ON hay and oats Tho whole stalks are
shredded, or tho horses eat what they
like from them, after which the butts
are run through the shredder In either
case the refuse is used for bedding.
Thus it is that cheaper rations for all
farm animals are being utilized. 1t is
wonderful how the corn plant con-
tributes to this cheapening.

BARN FATTENED CATTLE.
Pennsylvania Farmer Tells About o
Practice Common In His State.

Practice Common In His State.
Pennsylvania has many bank or base
ment barns which furnish sufficient sta
BILE room for 40 to so head Of cattle.
These Easements are excellent places
for fattening cattle. The stalls should
be S feet wide and 10 feet long, afford
ing plenty of room for two steers. The
manger should be as long as the stalls
are wide, and ON each end there should
be a feeding box inches deep, 20 by
30 square. At least this is the opinion
Of a farmer ho knows all about the
subject and writes as follows in The
New England Homestead:
Tie the steers near the stall partition
so as to present their hurting each 9th
or with their horns. The space in the
manger between the feeding boxes
should be about 4 feet long and large
enough to contain enough rough feed,
hut not so deep that the animals will
have difficulty in reaching the bottom.
The rough feed should be hay or corn
fodder, cut and shredded.
My ration for 2 or 3-year- old steers
is four quarts Indian meal or eight
quarts Of corn and cob meal night and
morning, with a heaping bushel basket
full Of cnt and shredded fodder given
each steer as soon as he is done eating
his grain feed. After the fodder is eat
en- give three gallons Of water night and
morning.
Keep the stalls perfectly clean Use
plenty of straw for bedding and hire
man with good temper to care for the
stock. They will do very much better
under the care of a man who is gentle
with them than with one who treats
them roughly. Feed and water regular.
My animals usually gain so to 70 pounds
per month per steer. If at the start l
have |, 900 pound steer and feed him
five months, he usually weighs 1880
to 300 pounds at the end of that peri
cd. At the present price of corn, 30
cents, it pays much better to feed corn
to cattle than to sell it. The manure
from fattening cattle is of the very best
quality and is better than any other fer
tilizer in the production of crops.

Hothouse Tomatoes.

Before the Jersey crop of tomatoes
was out of the New York markets fine
dollhouse tomatoes began coming from
Massachusetts, SO there was no gap be-
tween the field grown tomatoes and the
dollhouse product; neither will there be
between the latter and the crops from
Bermuda, Florida and other southern
points III the spring. Rural New York
er describes the dollhouse tomatoes as
smooth and bright colored the skins
having glossy look that renders them
very attractive. They come i'll brown
pasteboard boxes holding five pounds,
the tomatoes being neatly wrapped in
paper.

Bile for the covetous and hard-hearted
man to evade his obligation. Often it
clothes opportunity with arti1ciallty,
makes it easy to push 1t off at arms
length or out of sight entirely. This
is the difficulty under which all our
benevolent organizations labor. For
this reason we need to be on our guard,
lest in the midst of the organized agen-
cies for the relief of human Ignorance,
we thoughtlessly grow up even more in
human than Dives, and bring upon our
selves his condemnation Do not let
me lead you to believe that money or
food or clothes are all or even the chief
things that modern Lazarus asks of
modern Dives. Money is great good
but Lazarus asks for sympathy, for per-
sonal guidance, for instruction, for love
and these are more costly Than food or
clothes and may be withheld by the
careless, inhuman heart.
Oh, dear friends as life with It's Won
derful panorama swiftly passes let us
struggle against this selfish. cruel neg
lect of opportunity to do good; let US
cruelty this self-absorbed and heart
less disregard of the claims of uNlr fell
lowmen, this contempt which, If persist
ed in, creates at length the outer dark
ness Of the soul.
1 have seen one of the dearest friends
l ever had or ever shall have, who has
passed on into the other life-a man
upon whose photograph / cannot look
and whose old, faded letters l cannot
read without choking emotion-I have
seen this knightly and Chrst-like soal
Gen. Armstrong, personifying the needs
of the colored race into whose cause he
had identified himself. have seen him
knocking and knocking in vain for a
contribution to his work at the doors OF
many ricn men, any one of whom would
spend in purely idle luxury as much in
a year as the entire cost of maintaining
the Institution at Hampton. And l
have seen this heroic soul, with an iron
constitution, whose life was of priceless
value to his countrynIen, broken down
and dying at 81 from the frightful cost
of these miserable and fruitless appeals
and the burden which their useless
ness brought upon him.
And today I fear that the man he dis
covered and raised out of that subject
race, who Is proving himself by his ex-
traordinary genius, character and lead
ership, a second Armstrong. and whose
life is of uncounted money worth to this
country in the adjustment of the negro
problem, I fear that this splendid leader
is in danger Of breaking down in the
same way from the terrible stress Of
this often perfectly hopeless solicitation
for help for his needy people at the doors
of the rich who foolshly consume their
substance on their lusts and turn their
backs upon the poor
