MEATS FOR OCEAN SHIPS
Ten Tons of Beef and Two OF
Chickens Besides sixteen Hum
dred Birds.

Away down in the bottom Of the shin
the chief steward has market of his
own, one which he has stocked and
from which he draws, thus serving in
the double capacity of merchant and
customer, writes Helen c. Candee, de-
scribing Housekeeping on an Ocean
Steamship in Ladies Home Journal.
Here is an enormous refrigerator, and
Is presided over by a steward who is
responsible for every pound of meat
within it. Before the ship slips from
the dock this room is stocked, for full
ship, with 10000 pounds of beef, 1000
pounds of veal and 1900 pounds of NUT
ton. From hooks along the walls and
ceiling of another refrigerator hang
punches of birds, very much as dried
corn and peppers hang from the rafters
Of old farmhouses. As many chickens
as can be tied together are hung until
1000 pounds are slowed away. Ducks
are not as popular as chickens, there
fore 700 pounds only are protided-
about 100 pounds allowance for each
day. Turkeys are liked. and 1000
pounds must be provided for the de-
mands Of the cook. Pigeons. squads
and other small birds. these are reck-
oned in pieces, and it is calculated that
the family which floats across the ocean
will devour 1000 birds.

QUEER FLORIDA GOpHERS.
Burrowing Turtles That the Nutives
Eat Like Epicurfs De
Terrapin.

"The most interesting creature ! ever
saw in Florida said New York mar
who spent the winter there, was the
burrowing turtle. This turtle is pc
culiar to Florida, and it is an impor
tant factor in the domestic economy
of the cracker population, for the Flori
da cracker dotes on the gopher-that's
what they call this burrowing turtle
and thinks it is the finest thing in tn,
edible line that ever existed.
another thing that induces tn,
gopher to dig its burrow out of tn,
reach OF water is that in those dry ane
sandy places the rattlesnake and yari
Gus kinds Of hideous-looking lizardI
are most plentiful, and the gopher il
never happy unless its burrow il
shared by colony of either one or the
other of these, if not of both. Find
gopher hole and uncover it and yor
will be sure to find from half dozer
10 a dozen or more rattlesnakes, and
maybe Is or 20 lizards Of various sizel
and colors and degrees of ugliness oc
cupying it with its proprietor. The
gopher plainly loves the companions
ship of these deadly things, although
1t is itself as meek and harmless as 6
dove.
mo dweller in those parts of Florida
ever goes anywhere about without a
bag slung over his or her shoulder
This is to put gophers in, as some are
pretty sure to be found pasturing in
the wild grass patches. The moment a
gopher is surprised by person with
a bag it shuts itself securely in its
shell, and the cracker picks it up and
trmbles it into the bag. The gopher
is likewise trapped by digging hole
close to the entrance of its burrow and
sinking a barrel or box into it and COW
ering the trap with loose twigs. When
the gopher comes out and starts on a
foraging trip it tumbles into the trap
and can't get out. What terrapin are
to the hlsh-living epicure, the gopher
is to the Florida cracker"

Slau0w and Sunshine.

All, this beautiful world l know rot
what to think of it; sometimes it is all
sunshine and gladness, and heaven itself
lies not far off; and then it suddenly
changes and is dark and sorrowful, and
the clouds shut out the day. In the
lives of the saddest of us there are bright
days, like this, when we feel as if we
could take the great world in our arms;
then come the gloomy. hours, when the
fire will not burn on our hearths, and all
without and within is dismal, cold and
dark, Believe me, every heart has its
secret sorrows, which the world knows
not; and oftimes we call a man cold
when he is only sad.-Lengfellow.

Something About Barley.

II. M. Cottrell of the State Agri
cultural college at Manhattan, re-
Gently wrote to the JOURNAL for
Information in regard to growing
barley in this county. We have
talked TO two or three men whose
knowledge OF farming in general is
unQuestioned, and sent the result of
our inquiries to the State Agricul-
tural college.
In this county barley is not grown
to such an extent that the farmers
can be said TO be familiar with it as a
food for hogs. This year there are
2,9ll acres planted, and this is the
average acreage. A yield Of forty
bushels to the acre is considered a
fair crop, but thsre are frequent fail
ures in this section.
Barley is one Of the finest hog foods
raised, and when the farmers come to
fully appreciate its value it will he
more generally raised in Kansas. The
highest priced bacon in the world is
the Danish bacon made from hogs
fattened on barley and skim milk.
Barley is not successful crop in most
parts Of eastern Kansas but so far as
reported seems to be adapted to the
western part Of the state. Chicago
packers are going into Canada and
paying 81 per hundred pounds above
Chicago market price for barley fed
hOgs in order to fill their English
orders for fancy bacon. They have
the creameries in western Kansas TO
supply the skim milk, they have
alfalfa for hog pasture and IL barley
is sure crop western Kansas can
with proper feeding methods become
the fancy bacon producing region of
