CYCLE AND CYCLISTS.

With regard to exercises such as
cycling and athletic sports generally,
which are only engaged in at intervals,
it is certain that their beneficial effect
upon the functions and health depends
quite as much upon the excitement of
the mind as upon the body; and every
ones experience must tell him how
ovating influence to the mental stimula-
tion which accompanies it.
AT Sydney, Australia, the cycle track
has been lighted in a novel way by in
verted are lights. Fifty-fve arc lights
and 10 0incandescents are placed around
the track at intervals of 35 feet, the
lamps being inverted, with the refec-
tors Immediately over the arc. There
are absolutely no shadows cast. and
leading cyclists are of the opinion that
it is safer to ride at night under this
light than by daylight.
1t is truly wonderful that there are
not more accidents to wheelmen who
are apparently looking for trouble
Probably the most foolhardy are those
who ride along a crowded city street
holding on to the side of a trolley car.
altogether oblivious of the fact that
managed to pass IN front of the rapidly
moving car. They ought to be arrested,
but the police explain that there are
not jails enough in the city to hold ali
the fool cyclers.

STRAWBERRY PLANTS.
How Progressive Market Gardeners
Fnke Care of Them During
the Fall and Winter.

Concerning the proper care of straw
berry plants IN market garden during
the fail and winter the Country Gentle
man says: There are, we suppose,
some market gardeners who do not give
their strawberry beds any care in win
ter, trusting to the matted foliage to
protect the roots, or to fortunate
weather With an ideal winter, snow
falling early and remaining until well
into spring, this practice would do. the
beds coming out in good condition.
Last spring, after one of the severest
winters known, it was noted that wher-
ever SNOW fell and remained straw
berry plants came out in good or
der, while all other fruits were injured.
But the ideal winter is seldom realized,
and even if protected by snow during
the severe weather the beds are apt to
be exposed in early spring and subject
ed to alternate freezing and thawing,
upheaving ard breaking the roots. The
wiser market gardeners keep their beds
or fields cieanly cultivated until freez-
ing weather sets in, then cover them
three or four inches deep with straw,
swale or marsh hay, or whatever may
be the cheapest mulch availabl In the
spring. but not too early, this mulch is
tween. and allowed to remain there till
after fruiting time, keeping down weeds
and retaining moisture. Some growers
treat their plantations of raspberries
and blackberries in the same way"

CEREALS FOR FUEL.
a Question That May BE Worth More
Confederation Than Is Usual
Iy Given to 1t.

Prof. Thomas Gray is reported to
have estimated the value of cereals as
fuel to be about one-half that of coal.
We are not informed of what grain he
was speaking. If it be true of Indian
corn it would indicate that there are
times when corn would be much cheap
er than coal, especially in sections of
country far removed from railroad
transportation. In such places coal is
high because of the cost of bringing l.
in and corn is cheap because of the cost
of transporting it to market. Thus in
1896 the average price of corn in Ne
braska for the whole year was only
13 cents. During a part of the year the
price was much lower, and in some sec
tions it was far below ten cents per
bushel. With coal at only 81 per ton,
very moderate price, it would pay to
burn corn rather than coal. Corn un-
der the conditions named would be
worth $3.50 per ton, Or ten cents per
bushel. But as coal has sold as high
as SO per ton in Illinois and Indiana
within a few years it has doubtless been
at price in some parts of the less ac-
cessible west where it would have
made corn worth at least 15 cents per
bushel. The removal of part of the
corn surplus in this way might many
times stimulate the market for corn
and depress the home market for coa',
both of advantage to the farmer

San Francisco, Nov. 13.-Col. Child

tEis without an effort first to show
the natives that the United States
wished to give them fair, just and
liberal government, would have for
ever prevented amicable relations, and
it would have become question of eX-
termination and Fe-coloniZation. The
islands are too far away for such a
policy, even if humanity and self-inter-
est did not forbid.
''In my opinion Il force of $4,000 10
100000 men is needed to promptly and
quickly settle the question. This force
will have to be retained until those
who are friendly and take the oath OF
allegiance to the United States are
strong enough to protect themselves;
otherwise the natives Will come down
from the mountains destroying the
lives and property of all who are

points out that the experience of tho

Little Goes n Long yyay.

New corn is not a good food fol
poultry or any animals. Green corn
may be fed to good advantage, but the
ripe corn only partially dry is bad for
live stock, unless it has been soaked
until it is necr or quite at the point OF
termination. Those who have tried
it in that way report that it gives as
good results as it does when ground
and cooked or scalded. But the hens
do not want soaked corn. The hens
gizzard is a gristmill in miniature, and
every one who knows much about
grinding grain knows that soft or un-
ripe corn does not grind well. The mill
clogs up and refuses to do it's work.
The hens gizzard is affected in the
same way, and indigestion is the GER
tain result, as indicated by looseness OF
the bowels, diarrhea and cholera"
which is about as often a result of i'm

SALT AND WOOD ASHES.
Good Mixture to Some of which
the Hoga Sho1ld Have Access
at All Times.

Occasionally some one rises mp and
.mphatically condemns the use of salt
for hogs, but fails to give the reasons
for such strong assertions. 1t is just as
reasonable to say that man does not
need salt. The digestive organs of the
hog are nearer in resemblance to those
Of man, than any other animal. If hogs
had no relish for salt, it would give
some ground for such statements. Some
are often killed, and that very sudden
ly, by getting an overdose of it, and
they take this overdose because of the
excessive craving of the appetite for it.
Prevent this craving by liberal sup
ply constantly before them and they
will not eat so much of it as to be sick
ened and killed. With man the amount
used is considerably matter of traiL-
ing and habit. Still we should be count
ed wide of the mark if we said he could
be trained to do without, and that he
is better off without it. When mixed
with wood ashes, there is very little dan
ger of swine eating so much of the
mixture that the salt will be inj ju-
rious. If the ashes are from hard wood,
and unleached, they are much better
because they rid the system of worms.
But if we could only get the leached we
would use them rather than none, as
they would aid the bone formation.
The hogs relish them, and will consume
large quantities of them. There is al
ways a little charcoal in the ashes that
they eagerly hunt out and eat. The
charcoal is an absorbent. At the COM
mencement of new corn feeding, an
abundant supply of salt and ashes
should be constantly within reach. If
no ashes can be had, feed them salt
alone, but get them accustomed tc it,
before. giving free access to all they
want.-John M. Jamison, in National
