Hogs at pasture need water to

insects they discover in the soil or

When the mich COW is growing fat
she is not being fed right to produce
the largest yield of milk, or she is not
the right breed for the dairy.
The feed of chickens and turkeys
should be hidden in straw, or thrown
among the grass in summer, to induce
the hunting for it, and that for water
fowl is best put into water.
A COW will give about so much milk
in a year, no matter what time she
N in, and she should be bred so
as to produce milk during the whole
of the season of best prices.
If the soil around the fruit trees is
kept loose and an occasional handful
of grain is thrown in0nd covered, the
fowls will spend much of their time
scratching and will effectually prevent
the borer from depos;ting its eggs.
The seeding of peas and other legu-
minous crops, clover, ETC., should re-
ceive more attention as they supply
the most expensive part of the fertil-
izer, nitrogen, then potash and phos-

Captain Sigsbee, in testifying before the
court Of inquiry which convened in the
harbor of Havana, Monday, Feb. q, said
that he assumed command Of the Maine
on April 10, 1897, and that his ship arrived
in the harbor Of Havana the last time
Jan. Is, 1898. The authorities at Havana
knew Of the Maine coming, Consul Gen
eral Lee having informed the authorities,
according to official custom. He took in
the pilot sent BY the captain Of the port Of
Havana and the ship was berthed in the
man of-war anchorage off the Machina,
or the Shears, and according to his under.
standing, was one of the regular buoys
Of the place. He then stated that he had
been in Havana in 1872, and again In 1885,.

the evening with party in the COM

supper on the stage with the actors

At supper the count appeared to find

speechless horror of the mamma when
he commenced to pay marked court to
her daughter very. nearly caused the
baron to die Of suppressed laughter and
apoplexy. Next day, when the hoax
was discovered, there was some dutter-

How Gold Was Found on the Klondike.
''The River Trip to the Klondike'' is
described in The Century by John Sid
ney Webb. The author says: ss.=
The famous Bonanza creek and the
more famous Ell Dorado creek are very
like ordinary, everyday creeks in ap-
pearance-a little less civilized perhaps
than creeks to be met with in the east.
There are men living in Alaska today
who have hunted moose over these
creeks dozens Of times; but, as the old
miners say, there were no surface indi-
cations to lead any one to suppose that
gold might be found in them, SO hum
dreds Of miners passed BY in their boats,
going to Forty Mile and Circle City.
The finding Of such gold is always an
accident, and the old hands are usually
the last to realize the truth. 8 Stick

tiyes camped on the creek for dinner
one day and somehow got to digging

care was taken to avoid accident. All Wis

was allowed unaccompanied. Special
'lookouts' were required at night. No
unauthorized boats were allowed to ap-
proach the ship.

crew, quiet men. He was in the captains
