Ambulance Service by Wire.

One of the many remarkable appli-
ances on the United States naval am
bulance ship Solace is an arrangement
almost like trolley wire, which can
be stretched from the ambulance ship
to the vessel ON which it is desired
to take the wounded man. A litter is
suspended from the wire, and thus
injured men can be taken aboard the
hospital ship without any more hand
ling than necessary.

The p,pthers Of the philippines.

The Felipinas, which destiny has in
charge, and which, like Cuba and
Puerto Rico, the United may have in
charge also, are the fairylands of
Oceanica, the homo Of the humuing
bird and the FREELY. The climate il n
thing to feed on, the scenery is q
caress to the eye. Barring the wild
ca5 and the Spaniard, there are no
beasts OF prey. The Spaniard came
in the train of Magellan. He had to
fight to do it. The adventure cost
Magellan his life and vast amount
of jealousy on the Part of Portugal. 1t
was in the neighboring waters that
the two great maritime powers of the
sixteenth century struggled for the
dominion of that new world which
neither the one nor the other was to
rule. The circumstance is notewor
thy in view of the fact that it was
this hemisphere which bore the brunt
of Spanish violence. Malaysia was
approached more gently. Omit shores
there disembarked warriors more pa
cifc and priests less inQuisitorial. Far
from CASTLE and continuously threat
ened by Portus |, the Spaniard un-
derstood that to gain subjects mercy
was better than might. In that part
of the globe he became indulgent. In
every other colonial enterprise he de.
veloped into brute. It is only since
possessions here have vanished that
in Felipinas the beast of prey ap-
pea. ed. In earlier days, apart from
Portugal he had only Chinese pirates
to fear. The latter so bothered one
of the governor generals that he got
ready to set out and conquer Cathay.
In that epoch the average Don was
fuller of fight than of wisdom. Timc
has not changed him in the least. =

Duck Raising,

While ducks require different treat
ment from chickens they are not diff
cult to raise if handled properly and
cared for, especially when young. The
duckling will not stand the neglect that
young chick will, but aside from this
one point they are quite as easily han
died. If one desires to raise but few
ducks, one of the heavier breeds of hens
will make the best mother, the lighter
breeds, as q rule, being more nervous
and not willing to sit the time required
to hatch the duck eggs.
Ducklings should be sheltered from
rains during the first week or two after
Matching, especially If the season is
early Confine the mother hen and let
the ducklings run, but If possible pro-
vide them with grass land over which
they may hunt for insects. Corn meal
mixed with bran or middlings is the best
food, the rest being picked up in their
runs. Hatch early, feed we'll and often
and keep up steady growth for twelve
or fourteen weeks and then market the
ducks. At that age their growth will
have cost but little, but after the age
specified they take on flesh more slowly
and are not so inclined to exercise and
the expense of feeding becomes an item
to be considered.

Ventilating Poultry Houses.

In proportion to their size fowls re-
Quire more fresh air than any other ami
NAL; but in cold weather this pure air
must be supplied in such way that
the fowls will not take cold. The
houses should be warm and all cracks
through which the wind might come
should be tightly closed, the ventila-
ton being supplied from some one point
so arranged that it may be tightly shut
off when necessary. In the majority Of
cases, the best point from which to VEN
tilate is the roof, when possible, but in
the coldest weather the ventilation is
best supplied through some opening near
the floor. The fowls can readily pro-
tect their feet from cold by roosting;, but
the head, the part most open to attacks
of disease in cold weather, cannot be so
easily protected from draughts.

Good Turkey Stock.

The common black turgey is as good
a general purpose turkey as any, with
the possible exception of cross Of
American Black with the Mammoth
Bronze. Do not attempt to raise the
cross of the wild turkey with the tame
for it will only result in half wild
bird which can never be kept within
proper bounds. Large fields for feeding
by day and we'll ventilated houses near
the fields for roosting by night are nee
essary to make turkey raising profitable.
It Is essential that the house for the tur-
keys be near the field over which they
feed, with no trees between, or the
chances are they will roost in the trees
instead Of in the house. In the winter,
house warmly and feed out OF doors,
scattering the grain thinly over the
ground to make the turkeys take the
necessary amount of exercise.
The Advocate and news., 1898-01-26
Preparation Of Food for Stock.

If it is assumed that grass is the nat
ural food for stock it will be readily
seen that all grain and fodder fed, and
especially during the winter, should
be made as tender and as easily assimi-
lated as the tender grass, and this can be
done by grinding and cooking the grains
and cutting the fodder in small pieces.
Experience has proven that foods pre-
pared in this manner are much more
economical than when fed as grown.
Not only is there less waste In feeding,
but the quick assimilation by the ami
NAL renders its action on the system
doubly valuable Hogs, for example,
will take on fat faster and with a
smaller ration when the food is ground
and cooked than when the corn is fed
in the ear. It is safe to say that the
saving is fully rs per cent, in the use
Of cooked food.

Cure for Peach YellOws.

When the peach yellows first became
known 1t was supposed that the dis
ease was largely transmitted through
the pits Of the natural fruit on the
sprouts on which named varieties are
budded, but after many tests along this
line 1t was found that the theory had
no foundation in fact. Nor is the yell
lows confined to trees from any par
ticular section, and trees from nurseries
where the yellows is known to exist
are often free from the disease when
planted in far-removed sections. If trees
are properly set and cultivated they will
offer the greatest resistance to the dis
ease, but should the yellows get in
among them the affected trees should be
pulled and burned at once. This is the
best and most sensible way to eradi-
cate the disease, and if acted upon
promptly 1t may not be necessary to de-
stroy but few trees. Good culture and
eternal vigilance will do more toward
overcoming peach yellows than all the
emulsions and sprays known.

Study the Soil.

It Is safe to say that great many
of the failures in farming are due to
ignorance Of thesotl 1t Is well known
by those who have studied soils that
the texture of a soil for certain crop
Is quite as important, and perhaps more
30, than the chemical ingredients in
that soil. A coarse sandy soil will not
grow good clover or hay, nor, on the
other hand, will heavy, tine-grained
soil, such as is best suited to heavy
crops, do for early vegetables. 1t is
therefore plainly necessary, in order to
get the best possible returns from the
soil, that we adapt the crop to it. A
very sandy soil is best adapted to early
vegetables requiring rapid growth;
tomatoes, cabbages and potatoes will do
we'll on sandy clay soil. The lOamy
gravelly soil, moderately heavy, will
grow good crops Of corn, cotton and
other ordinary field crops, while for the
heavier crops Of hay, clover and grains
the heaviest soil Is best.

The Elberta Peach.

Few varieties Of peaches of strictly
Southern origin do well in the peach
sections of the North, largely owing to
the fact that nearly all of them are of
the earliest varieties and the buds are
killed by the late spring frosts. The
Elberta seems to be an exception,
though it does not succeed in all Sec
tions. It does we'll in the peach sections
Of New Jersey and Connecticut, but
seems to be especially at home on the
heavier soils of the peach districts of
New York State, where it ripens about
ten days earlier than the Early Craw-
ford and is Of much better flavor than
the fruit Of the same variety from GeOr-
gia, the comparison being made with
fruit from the South picked before thor
oughly ripe, and the Northern fruit

the best way to combat the disease Is
to treat the potato before planting. The

Bye for Poultry.

There is no question but that green
rye Is good food for poultry, but In its
ripened state 1t has less value than any
other grain used for feeding hens. Rye
In the grain has peculiar effect on
fowls. 1t stops their laying almost at
once and in many cases causes extreme
constipation hard to overcome, while
with other birds it has an effect just the
reverse. For a green food fall-sOwn rye
or oats rank next to clover for early
spring use.

before being fed Is a good winter ration

Young pigs are often stunted having

Skim milk, the greatest Of all bone and
muscle forming foods for young pigs,
should be fed for at least two months
after they are weaned. Follow this by
gradual increase of heavier foods and
you will accomplish that only profitable

The Egg OapacitY Of a Hen.

Hens that lay 200 eggs a year are
frequently heard of, and most listen
ers or readers treat such stories as
myths. There is, however, no secret
about this production Of eggs any more
than there Is about the large produc-
tion Of milk from prize cows Of which
we read. 1t simply consists in obtain
ing the proper breeds, keeping them
pure and selecting the eggs for hatch
ing from the lay Of those having the best
records, mating them, of course, with
cOckerels hatched from eggs from hen
with a good egg record. Starting with
hen that has record Of 120 eggs a year,
by careful breeding her chicks can be
brought up to increase this record
slightly, and future generations, II care
fully selected, will show a proportion
ate increase until the desired standard
is reached. OF course, the high-bred hen
must have the best of food, care and
quarters to sustain such a high egg
record.

Keen the OOokereIs Separate,

A point In the industry Of producing
eggs for market Is to keep the cocks
away from the hens at all times eX-
cept when the eggs are wanted for
breeding purposes. The eggs will keep
better II not fertile, and 1t has been
repeatedly proven that hens will lay
more eggs when the Cockerels are not
among them. Then, too, when eggs are
wanted for Matching, and the cOckerel
As turned in with the flock, the eggs af-
forwards produced and kept for incu-
bation may be thoroughly relied on to
produce strong, healthy chicks, and the
hatch will also be much greater.

Care of Horses Feet.

Did you ever notice that most Of the
physical troubles of farm horses are in
their feet and legs? The average farm
horse needs less attention to his coat
with curry and brush than to his feet.
A cotton blanket for stable wear Is
cheap and will protect the animal from
dust, thus saving the labor of much
currylng. After a days work In the
Neld or drive over muddy roads the
feet Of the horse should have care at
once. The mud should be removed
from hoofs and legs and the latter
rubbed brislly and thoroughly.

able extent the same plan may be ap-
piled to the cultivation Of most farm
crops, that Is, there are few Of them but
would be much benefited by consider
able more cultivation than they receive
in the hands Of the average farmer.
This Is especially true of potatoes, and
In sections where great crops are grown
the principle is well understood. An ex-

and much finer tubers, on the same
area, by seven civilizations during the
