sELF.GovERNMENT THE IDEA
Cubans Will Be Allowed an Or
portunity to Demonstrate
Their Ability.
General Ludlow Will Govern
the City Of Havana on the
Same Plan.

HAVANA, Jan. Ex-Governor General
Brooke has been carefully considering
the formation Of cabinet Of civil adj
visers and has decided to have four Sec
retaries, the first of state and govern
ment, the second of finance, the third
of justice and public instruction and the
fourth of agriculture, industry, COM
merce and public works. Only promi-
nent residents Of the island will be in
vited to join the cabinet. The governor
general has received acceptances from
two whose names are reserved until all
four can be announced. One of the
other two may be q Spaniard, though it
is probable that all four will be Cubans.
They will be experts in the various de-
partments which they will supervise.
The executive control, Of course, will
remain entirely in the hands Of General
Brooke, the secretaries being to him q
council of administration. Under his
direction the various departments will
be conducted on the broad principle of
wise and honest government carried out
into ideals. In this way the Cubans
will be prepared for self-government.
General Brooke will proceed entirely
upon the idea Of self-government. Such
Americans here and such Cubans as be-
lieve in eventual annexation regard it
as happily possible only under self-gov-
eminent as free, at later period, as
exists in any state of the American
Union.

Combs In Cold weather.

Every winter damages the birds more
or less by injuring the combs. When a
comb is frosted it turns black and often
the points decay and fall off. 1t is very
painful, and results in loss of eggs, as
the birds will not lay until the comb is
thoroughly healed. The wattles also
freeze, especially when wet, as is the
case with birds that drink from an open
vessel. The best remedy for frosted
combs is to keep the birds free from
draughts and anoint the combs with a
few drops of glycerin and crude petro-
leum mixed. To prevent the difficulty,
if necessary, cut off the combs and wat
ties with a sharp knife OF shears, dip
.he head in alum water and put the
birds in a dry, warm place. Should the
weather be warm rub the cut surface
with crude petroleum as a protection
against fies.-American Gardening.

GUNSAULUS' ANCIENT HORSE.
An Equine Purchase of the Chicago
Divine In His Youth Which Dis
gusted His Father.

Once upon time Rev. Frank Gunsaulus,
the popular preacher, was a poor circuit
rider. He travelled from town to town, lift
ed over the roads in farm wagons and board
ed round at the houses of the deacons, and
returning occasionally to his fathers old
farm to spend a few days. His father, so
the story goes, was a rough old chap of the
uncut diamond sort, with vocabulary
more expressive than elegant.
Well, at one time young Gunsaulus found
himself in possession of enough money to
buy horse. He thought it would be better
to ride his own animal around the circuit
than to borrow transportation. 1t was a
sorIy-looking steed this, but it answered
the purpose, and, what was more to the
point, it was cheap. So after he had bought
It he rode it home. His father was in the
barnyard when he came in and he looked
critically at the animal
.Where did we git that boss, Frank" he
asked.
81 bought him cheap, father" said the
young preacher. :.
Hes sorry-lookin' critter, must say, D
said the father.
"Wel, father" said Frank, "you remem.
Der that our Saviour rode into Jerusalem on
4 worse looking animal than this"
And the old man looked at the hose again
and said:
"Durned if I don't think it's the same
one."-Chicago Chronicle.

RAPE AND TURNIpS.
Not as Valuable for Green Manurin &
as LeguminOus Crops, Nor
Quite as Profitable.

Rape and turnips are entirely depend
ent upon the soil for their nitrogen,
phosphoric acid and potash, therefore
they do not increase the amount of any
of these substances in the soil if
plowed under. They will, however, in
crease the amount of vegetable matter
or humus in the soil, but other crops
will do this more cheaply. Leguminous
crops, such as clover, cow peas, ETC..
obtain a considerable amount of nj
trogen from the air, therefore they not
only increase the humus of the soil but
increase the supply of nitrogen as well.
Rape and turnips, says writer in
Rural New Yorker, require a soil which
is fairly fertile in order to do their best,
and soil which vii. grow rape and
turnips successfully will also grow le-
guminous crops. From these three
statements 1t will be seen that rape
and turnips are not suitable for green
manuring; at any rate they are not so
valuable for this purpose as leguminous
crops. / do not know of any good
farmer who uses rape or turnips for
green manure. They are highly es-
teemed as stock food and they should be
used for this purpose only. Some crops
will grow on extremely poor soils which
will not grow leguminous crops, and
by blowing under such crops the phys
ical condition Of the soil may be so i'm
proved as to enable the soil to produce
leguminous crops, notably clover, which
is liable to perish from drought on soils
poor in humus. Rye and buckwheat are
good examples of crops that will grow
on poor soils, and they are sometimes
used as the forerunners of clover to
prepare the soil physically. Rape and
turnips, however, will not grow Sat
isfactorily on poor soils, hence there is
no excuse or reason for using them as
green manures.

to accommodate hot-bed sash, and
would need three of them. The parti-
tions should divide the house into four
equal parts, a scratching pen and a
roosting and nest room on each side.
Place the water, ground bone and
grit in the roosting or nest room and
do all of the feeding in the scratching
room, and also keep the dust bath in
this room right under the glass so that
the sun will shine in it and keep it dry
and warm. For cheapnsss and dura-
bility l would cover the roof with Ne
ponset roofing and paint it well; board
up the sides and ends and hatten the
cracks.
This style of house is the most
roomy and convenient of any / know
of, and almost any farmer can build
one. To start one, draw your plans,
first, to a scale and see how your lum-
Der will cut to advantage. Hang cab
bage or other vegetables in the roost
room so that the fowls can pick it from
the roost board and the floor, and fall
off once in awhile for exercise. The
plans are plain and self-eXplanatory.-

THE DIFFERENT BREEDS
Purpose for Which n Fowl Is Wanted
Should Always BE Considered
by Poultry RaiserS.


and many OF them possess the same
characteristics. Generally breed that
eXceis in one particular VIII f1n short
in another. so that in determining
which breed to select the purpose for
which the fowl is wanted should always
be considered.
The Langshan chickens lay best in
the winter They lay a good number
of eggs, are of good size, mature early
and are an excellent table fowl.
The Brahmas come next to these, the
light colored variety being considered
superior to the dark.
OF the four varieties of Cochins, the
partridge is considered the best for
layers, the bluffs the best for table
fowls, the whites and blacks following
next. One advantage with both the
Cochins and Brahmas is that they are
easily confined.
The Plymouth Rocks are good layers,
good table fowls, good foragers, and,
like the Wyandottes, are good general
purpose fowls, excelling in no one par
ticular, but hard to beat on the farm.
lusians and Hnmburgs are the best lay
ers, are net settlers, but are very poor
table fowls.
The Houdans, and, in fact, the whole
French class, are fair layers and ex-
cellent table fowls.
The games are considered as among
the best, if not the best, as table
fowls, and are fair layers.
The Polish and Hamburgs are per-
sisteut layers, but are very poor table
fowls.
The Leghorns cannot be excelled for
laying, but they are small and not good
table fowls. The brown Leghorrs lay
the most eggs, the white Leghorns,
Minorcas, Spanish and Houdans lay
the largest eggs.
The Javas are an excellent table fowl
and fatten very readily. When bred
for an especial purpose and not car
ried any further than the first cross,
cross breeding may be made profitable.
But if carried farther, using a cross
bred is breeding back, and it is largely
on this account that cross-breeding is
Objectionable.
To produce fine table fowl, cross a
strong, full-breasted pit game cock
with Dorking hens; this produces a
table fowl almost equal to a turkey.
A good cross to produce good layers
of medium size is that of the brown
Leghorn cocks with Partridge Cochin
hens, or white Leghorn cock with a
light Brahma hen.
One of the best crosses for market
chickens is a Plymouth Rock cock with
Brahma or Cochin hens.
To secure good table fowls, and also
combine good laying qualities, cross a
Houdan cock with Langshan hens. One
result of this cross will be dark legs,
but the flesh will be white.
To produce brood of good layers, the
eggs being of extra large size, cross
black Spanish cocks with Langshan
| hens.
To produce good market fowl, one
that fattens readily, and is easily con-
fined, cross a Brahma cock with par
fridge Cochin hens.
To produce the best setting hen. one
that will remain in the nest, hatch well
and prove a good mother, caring well
for her chickens, cross a pit game cock
with partridge Cochin hens. This cross
will also produce good table fowls. In
all breeding. care in selecting the best
is important if the best results are
wanted.-St. Louis Republic.
