An Exciting Run.

The following incident in Lord
Wolseleys military career is recorded
as having taken place when he was in
his twenties, and had been in the Brit
ish army three years. He speaks OF it
himself as the most exciting expert
ence of his life.
1t was in Burma. and Woiseiey was
in charge of small detachment. Dur
ing the advance he had the bad luck
to fall into deep hole, and when he
crawled out found himself on the en-
emy's side. AS he emerged. he was
met with such shower of bullets that
he slid back in short order. After a
few minutes he came out again, ana
amid a vigorous volley, ran for his lie.
He was nearly two hundred yards
from the British line, and was hit three
times before he reached place OF
safety

pou1trx Farm of Size.

It may prove matter of surprise to
state that Mississippi has 100000
poultry farm. Here is the proof: "The
second largest poultry farm in the
United States" says the Bay Wave
land Commercial Pamphlet, sis located
fifteen miles from Bay st. Louis; 5000
laying hens ply their vocation, 1000
ducks and many turkeys are portion
of the enterprise. Twenty to thirty
900 and 800 egg incubators are in con-
slant use. This alone demonstrates
the success of the poultry enterprise.
Commenting, the Sea Coast Echo says:
When the pamphlet in question was
being prepared it was rule to make
no eXaggerations, and no statement
that could not be fully substantiated
upon investigation. The poultry farm
located at Bryant's, on the Louisville
and Nashville line, was established a
few years ago at cost of 100000. 1t
is one of the greatest and most inter
esting. Imagine place where eggs
are gathered daily by wheelbarrows

How to Transfer Bees.

Bees never attack when their stom-
achs are filed with honey or other
LIQUID sweets. This is their normal
condition when swarming, and there
fore they are then harmless, and also
when returning to their hives. Neither
do they attack when thoroughly fright
ened. We brighten bees by blowing
smoke among them or by rapping
rather violently on their hives. When
bees are alarmed in their hives by
smoke or conclusion, their first impulse
is to fill their honey bags from their
combs Bees in hive that is constant
ly being raped against will in few
minutes rush boldly out from among
their combs into any empty skip or box
set over their place of exit from the
hive.

Patchwork Farming.

l have in mind a farm where there
is one wide sweep of grain, not even
fence, only tiny strip of ground left
implanted, to separate the wheat from
the rye. One large field contains the
corn crop. OF course, there are fields
for potatoes and for any other vegeta-
bic that is raised in quantity, but there
are not half dozen patches. This is
economy. There are no fences to oc-
cupy room and to be kept in order;
there is not so much time spent in 60
ing from one field to another and the
conditions are of some value as to the
general appearance of the farm. Some
may say that the crops must be chang
ed from place to place; that potatoes
may yield well on one spot and fail en-
tirely In another. and SO ON. These
objections may hold good to a certain
extent. 1t may sometimes be desira-
BILE to change the crops, but this can
be done when necessary, and the farm
er is supposed soon to learn to adapt
his crops to his soil. There is no need

regular hours and give as much as

To Grow Watermelons.

This is the way an Iowa correspond
ent of Farm, Field and Fireside would
grow watermelons: Select rich loan
sandy loan is best-and dig holes six
feet each way, or in one long row, and
put a shovel of well rotted manure in
each hill, covering with two inches of
dirt Plant about a dozen seeds in
each hill, covering one inch deep.
Plant from the 9Th to the 10th of May.
Soon after planting these, say five OF six
days, plant hill between each two OF
the first ones. These will come up
about the time the bugs show up gen
orally, and they will not touch the first
vines, but will destroy the second
planting. Should the bugs come early
and attack the first vines they are all
gone before the others are up.

We have found the bush Lima bean
to yield an earlier picking, bear more

when planted the same day and not
rod apart than did the pole Lima. We

made the experiment because of the
difficulty or expense of getting poles
when we had no wood lot to go to in
the winter. The same results followed
the use of the bush horticultural in

they were the only kind of pole beans

The Farm Tools.

Keen Farm Tools Sharp.--Too often
this is not thought of until the tools are
wanted for use, then much time is lost
in putting them in order. 1t has been
said that man can do as much in two
days with sharp tools as in three days
with dull ones. l know a man who
does a great deal of hard hoeing, who
thinks the continued use Of a file makes
a difference of nearly one-half in the
labor. So look after the condition of
the hoes, spades, scythes, saws, chisels.
ETC.; it will pay. A good grindstone
and plenty of files are among the best
of farm investments. The man who
prepares himself before the rush of
spring work comes upon him will al
WAYS be ahead of his neighbor who de-
fers preparation until time to begin
spring work.
Grinding Tools.-All edge tools should
be held on the grindstone so that the
action of the stone will be at right an
giles to the plane of the edge; in other
words, hold edge of tool square across
the stone. Ground in this manner, a
finer edge is set the grinding is done
quicker, the tool holds an edge longer
and is less liable to become nicked. A
grindstone should always run true, as
a tool can not be ground correctly on
one that revolyes with an irregular mo-
ton. 1t is well to grind on edges Of
stone to form a raised surface,
yarnish for ToolS.-Melt three ounces
of tallow with one ounce of resin and
strain while hot, as there may be
specks in the resin. With brush apply
a thin coating to polish parts and It
will preserve them from rust for any
length of time.

Feed what You Raise in Stock.

There is no rule for keeping stock,
SO far as the number of animals is
concerned 1t is well to keep as many
as will consume the food grown upon
the farm. It pays to use the food and
sell the stock, because d large portion
of the food will then remain as ma
nure. If farmer made no apparent
profit OH his animals except the manure
derived from them, he would become
more successful each succeeding year,
as the producing capacity of his farm
would be increased AS long as the
farm IS made more fertile instead II
being impoverished, the farmer is max
ing profit every year.
