Saved Life md Name.

The French author Martainville,
who began his career toward the close
of the last century, is said to have owed
the preservation of his life to witty
piece of audacity. He was royalist
and did not hesitate to attack the
French revolution and its authorities.
Presently, of course, he was summoned
to appear before the revolutionary tribu-
nal. The revolutionary tribunals ut
that time did not hesitate to send every
body to the guillotine who had ventured
to attack them

Tobacco In England.

In regard to the suggestion which is
sometimes made that one way to relieve
agricultural depression in this country
would be for the government to allow
and even to encourage the growth of to-
bacco, it may be interesting to note how
long the prohibition has lasted and how
sternly it has been enforced. This may
be gathered from the following extract:
"Oornet Wakefield with party of
horse marching out of Glocester upon
the last of July to Winchcome and
Cheltnam to destroy the Tobacco plant
ed in these parts, the Country did rise
against them in great body, to the
number of o. 600, giving them very
revileing and threatning speeches, even
to kill them horse and man, if that he

that the tumult being so great. he was
constrained to draw off and nothing
more done" (Mercurius Politicus, 29

The siln

In the course OF q talk on the value
OF the silo at a, New York farmers'
institute, Mr.. A. L. Litchard said that
the greatest Improvement that has
taken place on the farm in years was
the silo. One benefit OF the silo is
that the corn can be gathered and put
into it early while: the land can be
used for something else. Another is,
that corn that is put in the silo grows
better as It grows older, and If left
in the field would decrease in value,
and again the corn in the silo is al
ways ready for use. A farmer can
carry from three to five more head Of
cattle with its aid than otherwise. A
farmer can keep his family in better
circumstances, and silo, if run on 9
systematic plan, will go long way
toward paying of farm obligations. A
silo is great help when farmer is in
tight place. Mr.. Litchard recited an
accident which occurred on his farm
about five years ago. It was when the
grass-hoppers made their famous raid
through that section. He had some
fine pieces of timothy and clover. The
grass-hopper cleaned this off entirely
with the exception of two tons. The
next year the same thing took place,

his garden going with the rest. The
next year the grass-hoppers were on
hand, and Mr.. Litchard had a large
corn crop, but in the meantime he had
built fine silo. His hay, clover, etc.,
went the same as the year before, but
he had fine lot of corn and a place
to put it, so he filed the silo and had
lots to spare. He fed the remaining
part and did not touch the silo until
February II. Its contents more than
carried his stock through to grass time.
During the following summer the
grass and feed dried up, so he put his
cattle back on to the silo, and got
more milk from one cow than his
neighbors got from three. Mr.. Litch-
ard said he never invested his money
to better advantage than he did when
he built his silo: When asked if the
silo should be square or circular in
form, Mr.. Litchard replied: eff were
to build in the barn I should build a
square one; but if out of doors, and
had good covering, should certainly
build silo circular in form"

Color in Poultry.

The Madison Square Poultry show
held recently in New York was a most
interesting exhibition of the different
breeds, and the New York Post, dis
cussing the exhibition, has this to say
as to the production Of the colors to
which most fanciers attach so much
Importance: One interesting feature
of the poultry show which closed re-
Gently in the Madison Square Garden
was the exquisite co1oring of the birds.
The show of Buff and White Plymouth
Rocks was particularly good one, and
when it is considered that but a short
time ago there were only one or two
on exhibition, the increase to sixty this
year is remarkable. This is due to
fashion more than anything else. as
the few shown were so much liked that
the breeders went to work at once to
develop those colors. That it can be
done is evident from the number
shown this year. They are all high
class birds, and are the culling from
many more than were entered. The
method of producing the colors wanted
is simple. The cock is the one which
is most Important, and when one of
the right color is secured-no matter
what his breed is SO long as it is good
he is bred to pullets as near as pos
sible to the right color. In the case
of the Plymouth Rocks, the Cochin
cock was used to develop the buff from
the old barred variety, and the Wy
andotte to get the white from the buff.
The first batch of eggs from the breed
ing was hatched, and those pullets
which come nearest to the buff were
allowed to grow up; they were bred
again to the Cochin, and their eggs
hatched again, and process being re-
peated until pullets and cocks of the
right color. were obtained. Then to
get the White Plymouth Rocks the
same methods were used with a wy
andotte cock. No matter how close
the inbreeding is,s the quality Of the
birds or the eggs is not affected. With
other breeds, the colors wanted are
produced in the same way, and it re-
quires but few years to entirely
change the colors Of any breed.

Alfalfa.----In the localities where it
succeeds, which are mainly in the arid
