DAIRY AND STOCK.

The fat hogs should be put into the
pork barrel before they eat more value
of corn than they are worth.
Feed all the stock az the same time
each day. Regularity is of vital i'm
portance in the caring for animals OF
any kind.
In cold days the cracks in the stable
floor may cause great suffering. The
animals cannot be comfortable with
cold currents flowing all around them.
Both the roof and the floor of the
stable should be made tight.
The experience of all stock owners
and veterinary surgeons agree that
cattle need an abundant supply of
fresh air to keep them in health; and
recent experience in testing cattle for
tuberculosis shows that herds kept
in close stables suffer far more from
this disease than those in well-venti-
lated apartments.-Farm Journal.

spite of the fact that the quantity of

and sold off the varieties that were sub

this source. Others, however, were in
hopes that they would be able to use
the diseased trees for fuel before they
became worthless. Here is where they
made mistake. And this is why we

EELS OF ANCIENT LINEAGE.
The Queer Murenns. That Used to Be
Fed Upon the Bodies of
Roman Slaves.

There are at the New York aquarium
five fish of the kind that the ancient Ro-
mans fed on human flesh. These fish,
or rather, sea cells, are the spotted mo-
rays, or murenas, of Bermuda.
The fishermen of Bermuda hold the
murena in great dread and when one is
caught in a net and inadvertently land
ed in the boat there is great scram-
bling to get out of the way by jumping
into the water. The captive murena
will slash about and snap at his cap
tors until he is either killed or slips
back to his natural element.
The murena of the Mediterranean is
the eel that the epcures of ancient
Rome priced as their greatest delicacy.
Fish ponds, or piscinae, were built at
great expense and were fitted with COM
partments to separate different varic-
ties of fish. Pet murenas had names,
were said to answer to them and to take
food from the masters hand.
With regard to the feeding of human
flesh to murenas the story, according
to Pliny, is that Pollion, a rich freed
man, was wont to doom negligent slaves
to death by being thrown into the pis-
Gina to be devoured by hungry mu-
renas. Once, when Pollion had En-
peror Augustus as a guest a slave broke
costly goblet. His master ordered
him to be cast into fish pond. The
slave pleaded to the emperor for inter
cession, who pardoned him. The en-
peror, furthermore, ordered every piece
of glassware and crockery of value in
Pollion's house broken, and directed
that the piscina be filled up.
The monster of the group, n veritable
sea serpent, is the g~4en moray. 1t is
nearly six feet long.-N. Y. World.

Progress in Horse Breeding

A man need not be very old to re-
member when a 1,400 or 1900 pound
horse was a heavy draft horse, or a
three-minute trotter speedy road
ster. Times have changed, however,
and the heavy draft horse must weigh
800 to 500 pounds more and the road
ster go a good many seconds faster
to be classed as good ones of their
kind. 1t takes better horse to be
good one nowadays than it did ten
or twenty or thirty years ago. The
ideals of those days will not serve.
The breeder must aim to get the kind
that ranks high to-day, and this is the
only kind that is going to pay for his
oats hereafter.-National Stockman.

IMPROVED ROTATION.
New Applications of n Doctrine the
Value of Which Has Been
known for "A Long Time.

1t was doubtless early in mans cx-
perience in farming that he learned
that some rotation of crops, rather
than growing the same successfully
on the land where it had previously
been grown, was necessary. But there
have come new applications of the doc
trine of rotation since il is known that
some crops are actually renovaung TO
the soil and that there is the greatest
advantages in alternating clover and
other leguminous crops with the
grains which are very exhaustive OF
fertility. Under the usual rotation the
land only comes to clover seeding
every fourth year, and in that time
one hoed crop, one small spring grain
crop and one winter grain, wheat or
barley have been taken from it, which
with but one year in clover for hay
or pasture completes the rotation.
But neither spring small grains nor
winter grains give the profit they
once did. If one of these can be left
out, the clover seeding and growth
of clover will come every third year
instead of every fourth. Or if it is de-
sired to keep up the four-year system,
the grain may be seeded with timothy
as well as with clover, and kept a
second year in grass, which if the first
year was mown ought to be generally
pastured the second season. But this
requires that the land should be more
:. h -
of grass, which is the third spring
after clover seed has been sown, the
bulk of the clover will have run out.
The timothy roots will produce a
good crop the third season, better
probably than the second years CROP
but it will be less advantage to the
land for subsequent crops after it has
been plowed again.
There is a still shorter rotation than
this sometimes practiced where farm
ers are exceedingly enthusiastic in
potato growing. That is to plant po-
tatoes on a clover sod, get the crop off
early, fit the land and SOW it with
wheat or rye in the fall, seeding heav-
lily with clover seed in the spring,
or else sow the clover seed with spring
grain sown then. This clover is made
to grow as large as possible the first
season, though care is taken to cut
it down should there be any danger
of its heading and seeding. When the
midsummer has been dry, followed by
wet weather as autumn comes on,
spring-sown clover will sometimes cut
a ton of dried hay per acre, and if
left long enough will go to seed All
that does do so will die the following
winter. 1t should be cut as soon as
heads begin to show, and then a fair
growth may be expected the following
spring. As the field is to be plowed
for potatoes again the next spring,
there is not time to allow the clover to
grow very large and yet fit the land
for a good seed bed. This plan works
well for a few years. It's drawbacks
are that one years growth of clover
does not keep up the soil fertility,
and that if potatoes are thus largely
planted they must have a good deal
of mineral fertilizers, which are more
costly than manuring with clover

A HARD LUCK STORY.
Some One Should Be Criminally Pros

One of the toughest sea stories
we have ever read is given us from
Manila. It seems that a rotten
transport, flying the British flag,
was engaged to take troops to Ma
nilla from San Franciso. 1t is said
its present owner bought the trans
port for $45, aud after painting
and putting a few touches to the
craft. tried to sell it to the govern
ment for $780, OOs. Not succeeding
in this, it negotiated to transport
troops to the Philippines. The
craft was sent out half provisioned
aud not half enough men to man
it. At Honolulu, one half of the
crew deserted and their places had
to be supplied by soldiers, who were
willing yet who did not know any
thing about managing a craft in
stormy weather.
Rough weather was encountered
or the voyage and to add to the
misfortunes, the engine broke down
thus rendering useless the refriger.
ating and distilling plants. Ther
the ship sprung a leak and tht
pumps failed to work Every mar
and officer on board bailed water
