THE SAILORS or THE CkLINA.

The sailors of the bark Celina announce
their intention Of going to the courts to
get rsdress for the alleged shortage in
the supply OF food during the recent yoy-
age There are expected to be represented
by Attorney Morrison of Roston. Tuesday
the men called on United States District
Attorney Isaac w. Dyer, who told them
that the matter of compensation for the
lack of food was not in his jurisdiction,
another one of their complaints. he
would take action. Then the men accom-
panied by A. McFarlsne, Portland sec
Ietary of the Atlantic Coast Seamen's
union, called upon United States Ship
ping Commissioner Tolman After exam
lining the list of food given to them, W hich
was kept from day to day by George
Blackney, one of the crew, he offered
them rs cents per day for 20 days or since
September 10th, when they demanded the
scale, in settlement of all claims aga inst
the vessel and owners. This offer was
outside of the regular wages, which are
not in dispute but Is allowed by the
sh ipping commissioner because the scale
which they demanded was not given to
them.
Mr.. Holman says that the men do not
complain of lack of solid food and that
the cook says that he served the same
food forward and ait with the exception
of one dozen cans of peaches. The cook
also said that when he carried pie to the
cabin that he also carried IL forward to
the men.

Some Hog Feeds.

Experiments not completed, begun in
October, 1898, indicated that where
pigs can conveniently be allowed to
harvest crops of peanuts, sweet pota-
toes, or COW peas, being fed corn at the
same time, these crops much help in
economical use of corn. If fenced lots
are available for the purpose, it is be-
lieved the saving of cost of gathering
the crops make this desirable method
of feeding. Somewhat limited trials
in feeding "stock melons" show them
to be much liked, especially by hogs.
Having fair feeding value, being we'll
suited to serve as a corrective Of the
bad effects of exclusive grain feeding
to hogs, their large yield and the read
mess with which they can be harvested
make it probable that they may wisely
be substituted for root crops in Okla
bona, in part at least.-Bulletin Okla
homa Experiment Station.

grasses than we have here, and walking
over their pastures was like walking
over Brussels carpets, SO thick and
matted were the grasses.
have merely alluded to these things
to show that we must feed out upon
our farms what we produce there, and
1t is only in this way that we can
keep them fertile and protect and sus-
tain the proud position which we now
possess as a great and productive conn-
try. So, then, in raising hogs, and
cattle, sheep and horses and mules,
and in carrying on the dairy industry
you are doing that which will conserve
the fertility of your soil and prevent
1t being handed down to posterity IN a
WORKOUT and exhausted state, bank
rupted soil. tell you, you are doing
that which will prevent this, and we
all sorry to see what has been done so
heedlessly by those who have gone be-
fore us in the older states and In the
more southern states by selling to Tor
eign countries their cotton seed meal
taken from the cream Of their soil.

About Sheep.

p, At the New York State Breeders AS
ISOLATION meeting Mr.. Mortimer Lever
ing, in response to an inquiry in re-
gard to the form of the mutton sheep,
said he believed that there is ten
dency to sacrifice the milking quail
ties of the sheep for the sake of an
extreme mutton type. A eve built ac-
cording to the highest standard OF
mutton type cannot be good mother
because she has not a good udder, ana
cannot have it with the. conformation
demanded by the showing standard.
She has no room for it. The associa-
lions are to blame for this, because
they prescribe the tYpesof sheep which
shall be considered perfection. =
A question in regard .toethe produc-
ton of twins, brought forth some in
teresting facts. One Shropshire breed
er last year reported 80 lambs from
II ewes. The production of twins Is
largely a matter Of heredity, and there
is not so much trouble to get the twins
as to avoid getting triplets and quar-
tets Several questions were asked In
regard to feeding beans to sheep. The
general experience was that beans are
excellent feed If fed in moderation and
in combination with other feeds.
Should not be fed more than once per
day. when bean foddersis fed few
beans should be given. Bean fodder
has a nutritive ratio of 1 TO 4, and
clover hay, of to s., which combina7
ton makes too narrow a ration for
the sheep, which needs i to 51h or e.,
Beans have a ratio of L to 21a or 3,
and If fed. in connection with clover.
hay or bean fodder will also. make too
narrow ration for sheep, Balance, the
beans, which contains a large percent
age of protein, with cornfodder, mixed
hay or other carbonaceous foods.

Rreedinf Up.

In all breeding or grading up the
male is the most important; not only
must he be a full-blood, with good
pedigree, but he must be an animal
possessing individual merit, says an
exchange. No matter of what class of
farm stock, the male must be good
individual animal. He must come from
good parents, and the farther back the
continuous lines of excellent progeni-
tors stretch, the stronger the prob
ability of securing good results by his
use. To attempt Improvement from
degenerate sires is a short-sighted
policy. Occasionally fresh blood re-
calling dormant powers into activity
may cause a reversion Of the merits Of
remote ancestry, but this is rare eH-
ception; so much that in any attempt
of breeding. grade up or improve, 1t
should not be considered.

FaodIng Horses.

Several persons ask how mich we
feed the horses. They each get about
25 pounds of sweet-corn stalks per day.
There are some small nubbins on the
stalks. In addition, the horses are fed
about six pounds of bran and half a
pound of oil-meal per day, says con-
tributor to Rural New Yorker. Bran
is such coarse, light stuff, that it is
hard to estimate it by the pound. The
horses are not at hard work this win
ter. but they look well: At ordinary
prices for bran and oil meal, this
makes a cheap winter ration. In our
experience, sweet-corn stalks are much
better for horse feeding than the stalks
of field corn. / think they are trifle
less constipating. OF course, this ra-
ton is not advised for general. use.
It would not do for smart driving
horses or for heavy working teams.
We do not attempt to produce on the
farm any. of the hay and grain needed
for feeding the stock. We use bran
and oil meal because they make. the
cheapest balance to go with the sweet
corn stalks. / do not believe that 1t
pays the small farmer in northern New
Jersey to attempt to grow grain for his
stock. think we can produce more
profitable crops, and thus do better to
buy the cheaper corn and bran from
the west 1t is fair to say however,
that most OF our practical farmers do
not believe this-at least, they do not
care to go on this theory.

Stock Raising Saves the Farm.

Norman ]. Colman, in an address be-
fore the Missouri State Board of Agri-
culture, said:' 81 - d. az
The only way that agriculture, which
is the basis of the state, prosperity and
the nations prosperity, as well, can
be upheld and sustained is by the rails
ing of all kinds Of live stock. If you
raise cereals and take them to the
,arket you are slowly but surely eX-
austing your soil and will leave it in
an exhausted condition to your children
and your children's children. If you
would permit me l would here like to
quote remark made by Sir John
LaNes of England, whom 1 visited a
few years ago, and he raped me over
the knuckles severely and said that
the ignorance which the American
farmers displayed in allowing the best
fertilizers produced by this nation to
be shipped and sold to the British
farmer was astounding. Ship load
after ship load of cotton seed meal and
linseed meal are being exported abroad
to enrich their soils at the expense of
the soils of the American continent.
He told me it was the most suicidal
policy any nation could be guilty of.
If you will look at these sovereign
states and see how their soil is being
wasted by raising. one crop on the same
piece of land as long as it can be pro-
duced and then selling the fertility OF
that land to France, England, Ireland
and other countries you will see that
some action should be taken at once
to prevent it. .
Sir John Lawes, who has been carry
ing on experiments in England for a
lifetime, told me that he realized 10C
per cent profit on the fertilizers ship
ped to him from America in the en-
richment of his soil, and in feeding his
stock he got 100 per cent again in the
growth made by his cattle. The drop
pings Of his stock fed upon this cotton
seed and Knseed meal enriched his
fields. They take all these things into
consideration, yet they have there &
better country for the production o.

Dream and Reality.

There is this real distinction between
the dream and the waking state, that
when awake / know there is another
condition, while in the dream | take
no thought of the waking state. Awake,
| know that / have been living in the
fantastic dream life, and have come
out of it into a real life completely dis
tinct from the other. | am in the
first state and know there is second.
But when / am dreaming | have no
thought OF another state that | have
come out of and must return to; | dc
not feel that there is another existence
radically separated from this one; and
/ never compare the visions OF my
dreams with my waking world, for |
know nothing of it. l have the i'm
preston of having always lived the life
am in, which seems natural, and even
IL ask whether ! am not dreaming, 1t
is a merely verbal expression, with no
accompanying sense of the meaning
of it. Another distinction, and the only
absolutely clear one, is that while we
always wake from the dream, we never
wake from the reality. This is why we
believe in the reality and not in the
dream.-M. Camille Melinand, in Ap-
pletons'.

Fertile Lands Of Colorado.

The ira veler who visits Colorado for the
nrst time is surprised and impressed with
the opportunities the state affords in agri-
cultural pursuits. The mineral wealth Of
the state, with its many famous mines,
seems to have become fixed In the minds of
strangers, crowding out all knowledge of
her wonderfully fertile soil Little thought
is ever given to the L, coo miles of irriga-
CATION canals that have been constructed,
and the :, 200, 900 acres of land which have
thus far been made productive Yet, out
out of 81 exhibits from Colorado at the
worlds fair. eighty special premiums
were awarded, covering all kinds of fruit
and produce The wheat exhibit attracted
wide attention, and twenty-five awards
were given it alone, the largest number
received by any one state in the Union.
The fruit industry has reached 81, 600, 900 a
year and is yet in its infancy. Sugar beet
culture is profitable industry The min
oral wealth OF the state, which leads all
other states in the Union in the output Of
gold and silver, does not compare with her
agricultural wealth. A handsome and pro-
iusely illustrated pamphlet, entitled The
Fertile Lands of Colorado" has just been
issued by the passenger department Of the
Denver & Rio Grande railway, and gives
detailed information of the lands and their
location, and may be had upon application
