London, Oct. IA special dispatch from
Shanghai says the announcement of the
death of the Emperor is confirmed. The
reports as to the means employed in his
taking off differ. One story has it that
he died by poison, and another that death
was caused by strangu.ation, while a third
states that he was subjected to frightful
torture. a red hot iron being thruts
through his bowels.

Hints on Mating.

The Scottish Fancier says: THE aim
to be kept steadily In view Is the
points an exhibition bird requires 10
win. If you have cock with too much
white, match him to hen darker tnah
the color required, or vice versa. IN
breeding for color, always select pirds
a shade darker than the color you
want to breed, as fowls are inclined TO
breed lighter, and you can never ge'
depth of color unless you breed from
birds very deep in color themselves
This wouldn't be very good advice tor
a Plymouth Rock breeder. A very
good standard rule is-what the MAZE
bird Is deficient in, see that the hen
has extra developed. Cocks with
{. lrse big combs should be mated TO
hens with small fine combs, or vice
versa, and so on all through the
points," This is very good advice, but
it would be better not to use such
cocks at all. II they must be used'
then the advice should be followed
I'm breeding Cochins look more 10
sound color and heavy feather than 10
size. Here again, breed from bros
rather darker than the exhibition
shade, and avoid all 'mealy' specimens
and those wanting cushion" Not bad
advice especially for breeders OF Buns
so far as color is concerned. Still size
ought to be omitted. I'm breeding
Dark Brahmas, and you wish good
penciled pullets, select hen with
well-penciled breast and throat, and
the color of the breast feathers the
same as those on the back and wing.
Avoid light-breasted hens as the pull
let's from such are generally far too
light in color; but the cockerels from
such a pen are often very good in
color. Hens bare OF leg feathers
should be mated with a very heavy
feathered hooked cock. Cocks light in
leg feather generally throw a large
percentage of birds with too little leg
feather. Exchange.

Size of Flock.

The question of keeping many fowls
together is one that has been frequently
considered. 1t has been assumed and
believed that chickens did better in
small flocks than in large ones. We
are very uncertain that this is true,
with the one exception of health. Were
it not for contagious diseases we be-
ieve that chickens could be made to
10 well in large flocks. Unfortunately,
when many hens are together it makes
way for the spread of contagious dis
cases. II one started with clean pens
md bred all of their own stock, using
incubators, and having their flock so
FAR from neighbors that the disease
germs would not cross the intervening
pens it might be possible to have i'm
mense flocks. The more would this be
possible If the fowls had the range of
a whole farm, as they would not in that
case be so likely to crowd together and
infect one another did a contagious dis
Ease appear. But most people that
raise chickens are not situated so that
hey can have these conditions. Small
docks of not more than fifty should be
he rule. A hundred may possibly be
Kept, but it will require great diligence
md watchfulness to make that number
a success. When disease breaks out in
a flock the sick fowls should be killed,
unless it be merely a case of indiges-
ion. ThSl the other fowls should be
aiken from the pens and the latter
cleaned and purified.

himself to water these hens in winter.
When they want water, they know
when and where to get 1t. If you
watch such a flock carefully, you will
find them drinking after the sun has
been up several hours and after they
have picked up a breakfast from the
manure heaps and have actually done
half a days work. Is 1t necessary,
therefore, for us, with our more valua-
BILE thoroughbreds, to put water before
them, tempting them to injure the very
quality we are striving to cultivate,
namely, egg production? Some breed
ers give their flock hot water. This Is
a good idea, but difficult to follow II
the flock is very large one. With
few hundred head 1t would work per-
fectly, but with thousand or more II
would require too much labor. Winter
layers, l consider, should not be wat
cred until they are we'll toned UP by
exercise and food, or until the sun has
warmed the coops. Ten o'clock is a
good hour, and it could be combined
with the grain feed at this time.

U.InY Paper Innings.

Information has reached us that
some of the Western solicitors for New
York houses have been telling the
creamerymen that there was no neces-
sity for using parchment paper lining
in their tubs, and that goods packed in
that way would not sell any more read
lily nor bring a higher price, says the
New York Produce Review. We are
surprised at the length Of time it takes
to get a good idea through some mems
heads. Why anyone conversant with
the New York trade, and who attempts
to keep in touch with the changing
needs of this market should try to con-
vince a butter maker or q creamery
secretary that paper lining is unneces-
sary and has no practical use is be-
yond our comprehension. "The proof
of the pudding is in the eating" runs
an old saying, and the value Of the
paper lining has been determined by
the severest kind of use for more than
n year. 1t has grown in favor steadily
and a very large number of creamer
les are using it all the time. Page
after page has been written about its
value as a protection to butter, the aid
given in stripping, etc, and buyers at
home and abroad have come to look
upon the paper lining as essential to
perfect packing. AS soon as foreign
buyers became interested in our but
tiers they asked for tubs with the
parchment lining, having learned to
know the value Of that class of goods
in the English markets. Now comes
an interesting demand from home buy
ers for that style of packing, and there
are strong evidences to prove that
within another year three-fourths of
the trade will call for paper lined but
ter. There have been instances al
ready this season where the butter
brought a little more money because
the tubs were lined with parchment
and most receivers can cite cases where
the preference was given to that kind
of packing over other consignments. II
will only be a matter of time when
creamerymen will be forced to use the
paper lining to maintain the standing
of their product. and the sooner this is
recognized and the newer method
adopted the better it will be for the
trade.

Dairy Industry In Ireland.


According to the registrar generals
report, says British Dairy World. the
number of mich cows in Ireland in
1896 was 1,429, 795, or 1922 below the
average of the preceding five years.
From this is would seem as IL foreign
competition in butter was telling its
tale. While it is good thing to study
dairy breeds, it is even better to study
dairy cows. Success with the cow Is
the fundamental problem in dairying.
The dairy industry in some districts
has made about as much improvement
as it can under present conditions, UNI
til the COW and her management is i'm
proved. 1t is universally recognized
that many of our butter makers rank
among the foremost of the world. but
too many of our dairy herds, as a
class, fall far behind. One of the first
essentials is to be able to distinguish
a good dairy COW from one that is not
dairy COW at all. 1t will be observed
that there Is a wider range Of varia-
ton between the individual cows in
any one breed than between the breed
themselves; so the selection Of breed
is only lie initial step in dairying. Gen
orally there is wider relative varia-
ton between the cows of single dairy
herd than between the several dairy
breeds.
A great many farmers say they have
no time to read. This is just the reason,
as rule, why they do not succeed bet
ter. The man who does not read may
be hard worker, but he is apt to have
poor judgment. A look over the
country will convince any man that the
most successful farmers are invariably
the most inten4gent. At meeting OF
! the Edinburgh Association of Science
and Arts, Mr.. John Laing, f. l. C.'
read paper on Dairy Products, from
the Producer to the Consumer. as We
Get Them, and as We Ought to Get
Them" In order to get the best re-
suits from the dairy, cows should be
fed and kept under the best possible
conditions. He was OF opinion that
grass grown on sewage lands was not
proper or clean feeding for milch
cows. Milk obtained from cows fed
exclusively on sewage grass was very
much inferior, from every point OF
view, to the milk obtained from cows
fed on natural sweet meadow grass.
Milk from sewage grass gave way very
readily, not so much to acidity, but to
putridity, and the butter and cheese
from such milk were very inferior in
quality.

to him as he looked at the sweet face
before him; perhaps that thought made
him feel little more kindly toward
Hildred.
After dinner was over, instead of lin
gering over his claret, he joined her
in the drawing-room.
Il have been thinking" he began,
that you would like to see the house;
some of the rooms are very handsome,
some of the pictures very fine"

tly.

do you believe in the Ravensmere
ghosts?" he asked, laughingly.
Il have never heard of them. But in
large house like this should not care
to feel that l was quite alone"
"You shall choose for yourself" he
said, briefly.
Perhaps the hour that followed was
the happiest that Hilddred had known
since her marriage.
He talked to her, and showed her
the various art treasures, the costly
pictures, the statues, the ancient ar
NOR. She was pleased and bright and
interested in all he said. He showed
her the library, where the accumulated
treasures of so many scholars lay.
When she had seen and admired all,
he said to her:
eff all these were on the verge of
destruction, and one woman came for
ward to save it, what would you call
herr"
II should call her the good angel Of
the house." she replied, not having the
least idea that he was referring to her.
He bowed to her.
THAT shall be my name for you,"
he said. You shall be the good angel
of the house."
She had chosen her rooms in the
western wwing-rooms that opened on
to broad beautiful terrace-from the
windows of which one saw pleasant
glimpses of garden and distant land
scape. The housekeeper, Mrs. Hamp-
ton, showed her over the whole suite.
Lady Caraven preferred these.
You will be lonely, my lady," she
said; most of the Ladies Caraven
have preferred the eastern wing"
Hildred thought to herself that there
had never been another Lady Caraven
like her. She had been married-so it
seemed from the words her husband
had just spoken-for her money; she
was not there because she was be-
loved by the master of the house, but
simply as an appendage of her money.
1t mattered but little what rooms she
chose; she did not at present even feel
so much at home as did the servants in
the house.
Your ladyship has decided, then, on
this suite?" said the housekeeper.
YES" said the young countess; 81

The water Problem.

Now, let us consider the question OF
water. 1t is very important question
and one which has not received much
special attention, writes e. o. Roessle
in Country Gentleman. 1t has some
thing to do with egg production, more,
In fact, than most of us imagine. There
is no more serious mistake made in
caring for flock of layers than to give
them ice cold water, at z o'clock in the
morning, with their food. And yet how
many thousand breeders are doing this
every winter. II we give them warm
mash and sometimes put red pepper In
II, We do 1t to warm them up-and
then we give them ice cold water. OF
course this is not consistent, and IL is
In my opinion injurious. II you have

large In your barnyard and roosting in
your wagon shed, do they run at day
light to the horse trough for drink OF
Ice water? This is an instance because

Poultry for Economy.

It seems hardly likely that any
farmer readers of The Farmers Re-
view lack a good flock of poultry.
There may be, however, readers living
in the towns or suburbs of towns that
have forgotten what help the flock OF
poultry is to the housewife. A small
number of hens may be kept at no ex-
pense. When one has not a flock OF
hens the waste from the kitchen is
painfully apparent. Especially is this
so IL the family be large and more espe-
cially so If there be many children in
IL. Much food must be thrown away
because 1t becomes old before 1t can
be disposed of. When one has a flock
of hens all of this surplus food may be
turned into eggs. Fresh eggs should
be used in large quantities. Next to
milk they are the most convenient
form of food and have nearly as many
uses. 1t is a pity that Americans can
not be convinced of the necessity OF
outstanding their resources. 1t is said
that the French nation could live on
what the American nation throws
away. We need to learn how to util-
lie the side products and instead OF
throwing them away turn them into
things of comfort for the family.

impossible to Live In
While there are camels in the des-
ert, llamas in Peru, reindeer in Lap
land, dogs in Greenland, and caiques
among the Eskimos, Iceland will have
its ponies, who on those "pampas of
the north" will still perform the SER
vices done by the mustangs of the
plains of Mexico, the horses OF the Tar
tars, Guachos, and even more than is
performed by any animal throughout
the world, says the Saturday Review.
Without the ponies Iceland would be
impossible to live in, and when the
last expires the Icelanders have two
alternatives-either to emigrate en-
masse or to construct a system Of high
ways for bicycles, an undertaking COM
pared to which all undertaken by the
Romans and the Incas of Peru in the
same sphere would be as nothing. No
Icelander will walk a step IL he can
help 1t; when he dismounts he waddles
like an alligator on land, Texan cow
boy or a Guacho left "afoot," or like
the Modes whom Plutarch represents
as totterlng on tnelr toes when they
dismounted from their saddles and es-
sayed to walk. Ponies are carts, are
sledges, carriages, trains, in short, are

the handsome, debonair earl.
1t was chilly evening at the end
of October when the Earl and Countess
of Caraven reached Ravensmere. No
preparations had been made to receive
and welcome them. There was no gath
ering Of tenantry. The earl's tenants
simply detested the sound of his name.
They had been so heavily burdened,
so taxed and tormented by the earls
confidential agent, Mr.. Blantyre, that
they had no welcome left for his mas
ter. They considered him an unjust
landlord, and they did not scruple to
say so. There were no glad shouts OF
welcome for him; even the curly-head-
ed children had heard so often Of the
earrs folly and neglect that they had
no cheer for him when his carriage
drove through the streets of Court
Raven. Nor was there any warm well
come from the servants. They were
most of them new ones as the old re-
tainers had died off or gone away, the
earl had never retained them. Tie
house had become dilapidated; the SER
wants were few, the stables empty.
1t was all different now-John Blan-
tyre had had carte blanche. The in
terror of the castle had been beauti-
fed, decorated, and refurpished; we'll
trained servants had been brought
from London; the stables had been
filled. There was a general air Of pros
perity about the place, so that the earl
hardly knew it again.
Did Lord Caraven miss the well
come? Did he see that he was disliked
by his tenants-that his servants
seemed to have no interest in him?
Did it strike him that a life of self
indulgence always brings its own re-
ward? Lady Caraven gazed with won
der at the magnificent home which was
to be hers. The first words she said
to her husband were:
II had no idea that Ravensmere was
so large"
He looked half incredulously at her.
did you not really feel interested
enough in the place to ak about it?"
he inquired.
she replied, quietly, but 1 never
thought of asking any questions"
II should have fancied that you
would know all about It," he said
1.-The number Of rooms and their con-
tents. am surprised that you do
not"
She did not in the least understand
the drift of his words. That he should
ever fancy that she was mercenary,
that she wanted the full value for all
the money she had brought him, never
occurred to her.
They dlned together almost in ST.
lence. Lord Caraven did not tell his
wife what a comfort he felt to see
the family plate once more in use. Hill
dred was slightly overwhelmed by the
magnifcence OF everything around.
How little she dreamed that her for
tune had preserved the grand old place
from utter ruin-that but for her the
massive plate. the beautiful pictures,
even the old walls themselves, would
have passed from the Caravens, and
the family name would have been
written in the dust?

CHAPTER IX.-(Continued.)

O11A1
Nothing came OF the one solitary
CLEAN of kindness. The next day Hill
dred did not see the earl at all; he
went over to st. Cloud with some OF
his friends. The slight CLEAN OF happi-
ness died away, the old feeling of des-
olation came back to her. The Com
Jesse de Quesne called and pressed her
to go out, but the girl was sick at
heart. If such strange llfe-married
without love, without even friendship
or lilking-married, yet living with her
husband as though she were the merest
stranger-his wife, bearing his name,
sharing his fate, yet knowing no more
of him than did the lowest servant in
the households; his thoughts, his mind,
his plans, his desires, his interests, his
amusements, his pleasures, were all
strange to her. 1t was an unheard-of
position, an unheard-of fate.
Three weeks had passed away, and
Lord Caraven began to wonder how
much longer he was to remain in Paris.
If he had been free to follow his own
inclinations, they would have led him
to the gaming-tables at Baden-Baden.
But, as he said impatiently, he had no
idea of going there with a whole train
Of people to look after.
How long would she expect to re-
main in Paris? The honeymoon-that
most absurd of all institutions-was
supposed to last month. 1t would be
better perhaps to remain there until
it was over, and then go to Ravens
mere. He would be more comfortable
there. The house was spacious, and
it would be possible for him to move
about without being haunted by the
girlish, wistful face. So in Paris, un-
til the honeymoon was over, he de-
cided on remaining.

unpacked 1 will not go down again"
Mrs. Hampton thought her decision
strange indeed; 1t was the young wife's
first evening in her husbands home,
yet she preferred remaining in her
rooms while he was downstairs.
"Shall take that message to the
earl?" she asked.
Lady Caraven looked up in some sur
prise.
"Oh, nor she replied. Lord Cara
ven will not expect me-"
And the housekeeper, who was a
shrewd woman in her way, thought it
seemed a strange kind of marriage
where husband and wife preferred sol
itude to each others society.
