Hawks and Grasshonners.

During the past few weeks sports.
men in the vicinity of Clayton, New
Mexico, have been enjoying a novel
recreation. About a month ago
grasshoppers made their appearance
in the vegas, and soon became so thick
as to threaten utter destruction of the
grass. A few weeks ago. however,
hawks of the common chicken hawk
variety began coming in great flocks,
and in short time literally covered
the country, living solely on grass
hoppers, as a result of which the lat
ter soon disappeared. Then the
hawks became a nuisance, and turned
their destructive talents to chickens,
quail, etc. Hunting parties were or
ganized and began killing hawks.
Hawks were so numerous that the
poorest marksman could easily kill
several dozen in few hours. After
thousands of the hawks had been
killed they abandoned the country
more suddenly than they appeared. =

Small Vegetable. in Fashion.

While California is trying to grow
bigger and bigger fruits and vege-
tables, epicures here in the East are
developing a taste for miniature speci-
mems of the earth's products. To
supply the demand in the larger cities
for young vegetables, such as the
French consider the most delicate
and appetizing, the truck farmers
bring to market tiny potatoes, tur-
nips, carrots, caulifower, and even
heads of cabbage the size of base
ball.
Such vegetables are, it is said, more
easily digested, their fiber being ten
der and succulent. instead OF tough
and often woody nature, as the
growth arrives at maturity. Some of
the flavor is undoubtedly lost, but
lovers of these undeveloped vegeta-
bles claim that this loss is counter.
balanced by their daintiness and
delicacy. New York Evening Post

In a contribution by DR.. I. NJ.
Prudden to Harper's Magazine, on the
origin of the canons of the Colorado,
the opinion is expressed that at first,
the Colorado and its tributaries,
sweeping over the slowly rising sur
faces, planed them down in the most
relentless manner, rs it were, and then
began wearing ont broad, shallow
stream beds. Then the country rose
more rapidly, and the water had to
cut deeper channels in the rocks in
order to flow out and away to sea.
Owing in part to the wear Of the
water itself, but more to the ceaseless
action of the suspended sand which it
bore from the up-country, or gathered
up as it went along, and to the force
of pebbles and boulders which it swept
on in food time, the river kept cutting
down as the strata rose.
Finally, when what was left of our
inland sea bottom got thrust up so
that, towering far above its former
rocky shores, it had to be called
plateau, the Colorado and its tribu-
taries OF auxiliaries found themselves
at the bottom of series of colossal
canons and gorges, where they are to-
day,

Apples For Cooking.

There are many sour apples that
contain more saccharine matter than
those that are called "sweet" only be-
cause they lack acidity. And there is
some malic acid in the varieties that
are called sweet. 1t is the combina
ton of sweet with acidity that makes
the richest and best favored apples
either for eating raw or for cooking.
Commonly, only those that are very
distinctly acid have good flavor when
cooked, and they should be acid
enough to require considerable sugar
in cooking. Yet, when the country
was new, sugar was much dearer than
it is now, and to save sugar the sweet
and sour apples were sometimes made
into pies together. This was, how
ever, poor substitute for sugar. as
the sweet apples would not cook
through so quickly as the sour, and
remained hard and nearly tasteless
Jumps in the pie. There were some
kinds of native fruit apples that never
were propagated in nurseries that
were neither wholly sweet nor wholly
sour, but such a combination of both
that they would make very good pies
without sweetening of any kind.

From drinking and swearing and every sin,
You are safe and secure II you never begin.
President Hart, of the Chicago Baseball
Club, selected Waycross, Ca, as the train
Ing ground for his team this year, giving
his reason therefore that there was no
saloon there.
II John, at that time a clerk in ware
house, had only said when invited to stop
at saloon and have glass, "No, 1 thank
you," he would not now be the inmate of
an inebriate asylum.
1t is as practicable to run canteen as a
temperance canteen, and sell only such de-
sirable articles as soldiers need, as 1t is
possible to carry on family grocery or
drug store without the sale Of liquor.
Last spring one OF the saloonkeepers OF
Meadville, Penn, sold intoxicating liquor

AFeu Points to Know.

Charcoal is excellent for poultry; so
is corn burned or charred on the ear.
One way to get yellow yolk is to
take beets or carrots, cook them for
the fowls, feed them, and in two days
there will be change; the yolks will
be as yellow as desired. One of the
most important things in feeding
poultry, yet too often neglected, is a
supply of good, pure drinking
water, and fowl drinks every ten or
fifteen minutes in warm weather. I'M
pure water is one of the most fruitful
sources of disease. Cholera, for in
stance, is in all probability, due often
to the drinking of water that is
not pure. Snow water will reduce
flesh as rapidly as a sharp attack of
diarrhea. The best thing is to have
a stream of running water. A few
rusty nails in the water are good, or
few drops of tincture of iron every
other day. The vessels must be kept
clean, and water should be warmed in
winter for fowls, or it will chill them,
but in summer it should be cool.

AGRICULTURAL TOPICS
Product, Of wild Land.

Aside from its crop of trees with
which uncultivated land is mostly
covered, it also produces nuts, berries
and other fruits which are always in
their season to be found in city mar
kets. The whortleberry and its near
relative, the huckleberry, are always
grown wild, as they need just the
dampness and shade that they find
in forest and low, wild land. But the
wild blackberries and raspberries still
constitute a considerable portion OF
the fruit sold in city markets. In
most cases this self-grown fruit is re-
garded as the property of whoever
wishes to gather it. The huckleberry
patches are, however, often reserved
by owners of the land, and those wish
ing the fruit must pay for it, or, as is
usually done, dividing it after it is
picked

New Zealand Birds.

AS for birds, I have never hear
more beautiful melodies than are
poured downward from the boughs of
New Zealand trees. One could almost
believe from the notes which come
flooding down from yonder golden
songster that Siegfried's bird had come
here to dwell when his mission was
ended near the Drachenfels. His song
ends with the setting of the sun, and
we, weary of the outer world, find il
pleasant to return to our comfortable
inn, and, sitting by a roaring fire, gaze
into its glowing depths, or out through
open windows, upon the silent majesty
of these eternal SHOWS. Islands of

sleerinV with Head to North.

The idea that human beings should
sleep with their heads to the north is
believed by the French to have for its
foundation scientific fact. They
affirm that each human system is in
itself an electric battery, the head
being one of the electrodes, the feet
the other. Their proof was discovered
from experiments which the Academy
of Science was allowed to make on the
body of man who was guillotined.
This was taken the instant it fell and
placed upon pivot free to move as it
might. The head part after q little
vacillation turned to the north and the
body then remained stationary. 1t
was turned half way round by one OF
the professors, and again the head end
of the trunk moved slowly to the
cardinal point due north, the same re.
suit being observed until the final
arrestation Of organic movement.

why is Poultry valuable to the Farmerq

why Is Poultry Valuable 10 tne farmer!
Professor Gilbert, OF Ottawa, an.
swers this question in the following
manner and his conclusions cannot
be questioned
1. Because he ought by their means
to convert a good deal of the waste OF
bis farm into money in the shape Of
eggs and chickens for the market.
2. Because with intelligent manage
ment, they ought to be all year revenue
producers, with the exception of per-
haps two months, during the moulting
period.
8. Because poultry will yield him a
quicker return for his capital invested
than any of the other departments OF
agriculture.
4. Because the manure from the
poultry house will make a valuable
compost for use in either vegetable
garden or orchard The birds them
selves, if allowed to run in plum or
apple orchards, will destroy all injuri.
Gus insect life.
5. Because while cereals and fruits
can only be successfully grown in Ger.
tain sections, poultry can be raised for
table use or layers of eggs in all parts
of the country.
6. Because poultry raising is an EN-.
ployment in which the farmers wife
and daughters can engage and leave
him free to attend to other depart
ments.
7. Because it will bring the best re.
turns in the shape of new laid eggs
during the winter season-when the
farmer has most time on his hands.
8. Because to start poultry raising
on the farm requires little or no capi.
tai. Under any circumstances, with
proper management poultry can b,
made, with little cost, valuable ad-
junct to the farm. Farmer and

In Scotland the town drummer was
an important parsonage aud per-
formed many duties. When beggars
or suspicious characters could not give
a satisfactory account of themselves
on being brought before the bailies,
and were ordered to be placed in the
pillory or in the jougs, they were
afterward drummed out of the town.
The drummer would also make known,
after beating his drum to attract at

Honey Selling With Profit.

The apiarist who has but little
honey for sale will find it much more
profitable to arrange with some live
grocer in neighboring town to han
die his product on commission than to
ship to commission men in large cities.
1t is preferable, however, to work up
o retail trade of your own, which may
be readily done by the use of small
sample boxes, In the spring get some
sections holding a quarter of pound
of honey and set them on the hives;
when they are filled label them and
distribute them among the best fam
lilies of your nearest town. Follow
this up a week later by taking orders,
and if your samples were up to the
mark you will have no trouble in get
ting advance orders for all the honey
you will have fer sale. 1t will be
comparatively easy matter to add to
the trade another year, aud you will
soon find you have built up pleasant
and profitable business. The farmer
who can successfully produce enough
honey for the use of his own house
hold is we'll fitted to go into the busi-
ness on a much larger scale.
