COVER FOR HAYsTAcK.

board up a side by laying the studding
six feet apart and cutting the boards of
that length. When YOU have the two
sides boarded place the two ends of the
sections together. This will be the
apex of the cover. The two by tours
should have been left projecting few
inches in order to bolt the two sides
together at the apex. This cover will
form roof that will turn all storm and
preserve the hay as well as though
stored in barn. AS they are made in
sections of six feet each, only that
much of a stack need be cut down at a
time In order TO hold the covers firm
ly in place, bore an inch hole in he low
er ends of the two by tours and with a
piece of smooth wire or rope hang a
heavy weight to it, or stake it down to
the ground.
This cover will be found especially
useful in the spring of the year. Farm
ers all know the value of good hay to
working horses and also to stock even
when there is an abundance of green
feed. However, good hay is a scarce
article in the spring. If it has been I'M
protected or exposed it is certain to be
musty and spoiled. And where a stack
is open to the spring rains it soon be-
comes unfit for use.-J. L. Irwin, in

SELLS HER BABY.
Starving New York Mother Disposes
of Her Infant Son for
800 Cash.

The life of baby boy was put up
for barter in New York city the other
day. 1T was not an auction sale, but
the starving mother gave to the pub
lie chance to bid for the life of her
child. The sale was made, and 500
was paid for human being. The bill
of sale was made out. 1t was wit
messed by lawyer and two others
and the seal of notary public was
attached. Then the document was
carried to the registers Office and
there formally filed.
The matter was submitted to Reg
lister Fromme. He said:
THE sale of human life is a viola
ton of the constitution. / suppose
this document, however, will have to
be accepted for filing"
The mother of the child was Pauline
Mathis. Her brother and father are
out of work, and the family almost
starving. Then the mother decided to
dispose of her child. Mrs. Annie
Gross, wife of butcher, has no chill
dren. She heard of the Mathis fam
ily's restitution, and offered 800 for
the baby. 1t was accepted, though the
mother was heart-broken over having
to give up her baby.

A HUMANE BULLET.
A Connecticut Man Invents Missile
which VIII Do Away with the
Usual FriGhtfuI decorations.

DIR. Robert NJ. Mullings, of Norwalk,
Conn, has invented what he believes
to be the most humane bullet yet of
fered for use in civilized warfare. He
asserts it will do away with the fright
full decorations about which so much
has been written since the United
States engaged in war with Spain.
The bullet is not unlike an>ordinary
bullet, except that it has an opening,
which he calls canal, practically all
the way through it. This opening. he
maintains, will prevent the explosion
of proiectile air after the bullet has
entered the body. and also will prevent
the entrance of air into the wound.
The new bullet has steel tube. eX-
tending from the tip to the butt, so
fastened at each end as not to weaken
the bullet or give it an opportunity
to explode At the back of the bullet,
against the opening into the tube, is
an aluminium wad, to prevent the es-
cape of the gas generated by the pow
der. As soon as the bullet leaves the
shell this aluminium wad detaches
itself, leaving the tube open.

Electric power has not been used
TO any great extent in agriculture so
far, though it seems well adapted to
it. In Bavaria, however, an expert
ment is being made on a large scale,
by an association of farmers who are
building a large power station for the
supply of electric power to the farms
near the village of Schaftersheim.
The power station is of the mixed
type, both water wheels and steam
engines being used in it for general
ing electric currents. The motors are
made very compact and simple, and,
Of course, inclosed so that the enquir-
ing farmland may not break them or
get his fingers nipped in them. Other
associa tions in other parts of Ger

experiment with a view to adopting
similar systems. 1t is estimated that
The power thus distributed will be far
more economical than steam or animal
power on the various farms, and far
more satisfactory.

A REIGN OF TERROR.

Especial Correspondence

NATURALLY the intelligent Chi
namen living in the United
States are taking profound in
terest in the present oriental crisis
which, some fear, may end in the ex-
tinction of the Celestial empire as an
Independent nation. Others express
the opinion that the concerted foreign
attack on Picking and the arbitrary ac-
tons of European and American mill
tary and naval commanders will ma
tionalize" the people of China, that it
will make the Chinese soldiers patriot
lie and that the defeat of to-day will
mean the creation of a new empire,
based upon genuine love of country in
stead of fear of powerful officials.
Among the Chinese who have estab-
lished themselves in legitimate bust
ness enterprises in San Francisco, New
York and Chicago there is a fair
sprinkling of educated men. Residence
in this country has developed in them
national pride which, outside of the
aristocratic caste, is a virtue unknown
in China. Anation numbering between
$50, 0O0. 900 and ACC, 900, 900 people, if
held together by common love of their
native land, could never be subdued by

warm wca,ber sbipments.

When live fowls are sent to market
during very warm weather the rule is
to save the expense by crowding as
many as possible in one coop. Water
is placed where only few can reach
it, while the food becomes mixed with
filth. When a coop of live fowls is
placed in car every fowl sits perfectly
still while the car is in motion, making
no attempt to eat or drink; but if
plenty of drinking cups are provided,
and the birds have room enough in the
coop TO move, the attendants will give
them water whenever the car stops.
There is always a loss in weight of
live fowls sent to market, but with
proper precautions and due regard
for the rights of the fowls much of
this loss at points of destination will
be avoided.-Farm and Fireside.
