Far up in the military masts of the
battleship Kentucky two Jackies perch
ed and sang a midnight serenade as the
ship swung down East River from the
Brooklyn Navy Yard on her way to
Tompkinsville.
On the Brooklyn bridge the trolley
CGrs had come TO a standstiH owing
TO an accident, and hundreds of pas
Bengers alighted, and peering through
the guard rails saw the oncoming bat
tie ship, and many observed that her
:aIl military masts reached nearly to
the flooring of the bridge. They did
Lot know her name, however, and q
passenger put his hands to his mouth
and shouted In sailor fashion: -.
"Ship aEOy, ahoy."
Scarcely had the cry been given
when back came the reply:
"Ahoy, my hearties. We're the Ken
lucky, seaward bound, and
"She was bred in old Kentucky,
Where the meadow grass is blue.
There's the sunshine Of the country,
In her face and manner too"
The crowd listened a moment and
then gave wild cheers. The Kentucky
passed quickly beneath the bridge, but
the clear voices of the jackies could
be heard until the batteship was lost
sight Of far down stream.-Correspon-
dence, Chicago Record.

We were staring before us, straight 10
front, trying to raise the town beyond
the skyline, and waiting always for
to see who'd catch it next.
'Then we began to feel that the
horses were playing out beneath us,
and with the breathing spells grow
ing longer and more often, the niggers
gained. The next man was shot dead,
and we didn't have to shut our teeth
for him. But over and over again it
happened just the same; the soft
grunting, the swaYing in the saddle,
that horrible choking thud as he
struck the ground, and the rest jab-
bing our horses like wild men to get
as far away from him as we could. We
had set out, you see, to carry the
papers through-we had to do it-and
by the time we lifted the town lights
over the horizon there were three OF
us, riding abreast. Then the last
man dropped. Twas his lantern
that caught me in the face. Things
got funny after that. The colonel
said I was talking silly when We got
in. Well, I scarcely think the COM
pany is paying me to stand round here
idling and spinning yarns like this.
I'll see you again sometime.
And the officer passed forward
along the deck to disappear in the

In ALL cases be placed: around th9
hives. High board fences are the
best, but anything that will answer
the purpose is better thar none, and
may be used but temporarily.
Evergreers are the most complete
vindbrenk and should be largely used
for not My bees but general wind
breaks. They are both very useful
and ornamental. Posts set in the
ground with ratings attached and
corn fodder set up against this makes
a good winter break for temporary
purposes, but must be we'll excluded
from stock of any kind.
No stock of any kind should have
the run of the apiary. Poultry will
do no harm in summer, but should
not be attracted about the bee hives
in winter by. the use of straw or any
thing of that nature about the hives.
It is always best to have hives to face
the south or east in winter, or rather
to have the backs of the hives toward
the storm. Heavy SHOWS do no injury
TO the bees and should not be shoreled
away from the hives. This is often
done, and more damage than good
results from it. Hives may be- en-
tirely covered with snow, aud. during
q very severe spell of cold weather
this Is very beneficial protection to
the hives.-A. H. Duff, in Farm, Field

Feetlinp Corn Smut.

Tests made on two COWS at the
Mic. igan experiment station in feed,
ing corn smut, beginning with two
ounces day and gradually increasing
up to II pounds day, which is more
than a COW would naturally eat in
ranging the corn fields, are reported
as indicating that no evil results
would come from feeding corn that
was badly affected with smut. Some
years ago the agricultural department
made similar tests on ,heifers and
reached the same conclusion. But
farmers have usually thoughti that
such corn was an unwholesome:if not
dangerous food, and they probably
founded their opinion upon some
ones practical experience. We arc
inclined even now to think the farmers
are right. Possibly the secret of its
having done no injury will be found
in the gradual increase of the amount
given. We know that arsenic eaters
and morphine users will in that way
accustom their systems to the drug,
until an invalid will take daily enough
to kill two or three strong men,. We
would not want to try COW with III
pounds of smutty. corn in day, and,
in fact, corn that has no smut on it
is not too good for us to feed to any
animal. American Cultivator. H.

When the march begins. in the morning
And the heart and foot are light, :.
When the flagssfeall a-futter
And the world Is gay and bright,
When toe bugles lead the column
And the drums are proud In the van,
It's shoulder to shoulder. forward, march!
AM Let him lag. who can
For it's easy to march to music
With your comrades all in line,
And you don't get tired. you feel inspired,
And life is draught divine.
When the march drags on at evening
And the color-bearer's gone,
When the merry strains are silent
That piped so brave in the dawn,
When you miss the dear old fellows
Who,started out with you,
When it's stubborn and sturdy, forward
march!
Though the ragged lines are fen.
Then it's hard to march in silence.
And the road has lonesome grown,
And life Is a bitter cup to drink,
But the soldier must not moan.
And this Is the task before US,
A task we may never shirk,
In the gay time and the sorrowful time
We must march and do our work.
We must march when the music cheers US,
March when the strains are dumb,
Pluck and valiant, forward march,
And smile whatever may come.
For. whether life's hard or easy,
The strong man keeps the space,
For the desolate march and the silent
The strong soul finds the :ace.

wintor Cara of Reaa.

The latest method Of locating the
hives on the ground, each hive sitting
on it's own bottom board, is q much
better way Of wintering. bees than the
way of setting the hives on high
fences, and perhaps number of hives
on the same platform. These benches
set up thus Oh stills are greatly af-
fected by the storms, and the shaking
thus produced.is detrimental to the
bees. The hives should be in such
position that they NAV be kept free Of.
any motion or jar, and when set close
to trees the limbs of the same should
not come in contact with the hives,
but any limb that may be driven.
against the hives by wind should be
removed. Windbreaks in winter are.

The Pod-Spot.

The yellow or wax yarieties of beans
are subiect.to asdisease that's called
pod-spot or anthracnose. 1t begins
by the appearance OF small spots that
are of reddish brown color and are
slightly depressed. AS the pods grow.
the centres of these spots assume q
dark color and they may run together.
It shrinks the pod and dwarfs and
shrivels the beans. 1t is not usually
prominent except in rainy seasons,
It lies over the winter in diseased
beans. If such beans are mixed with
sound beans, when sending them to
market, the fungus will spread raps
idly. The same rust attacks melons,
and hence melons should not follow
beans that have had the disease, for
the spores, like the spores of corn.
smut, are in the ground. If beans
that have been pod-spotted are. used
for seed, the disease will appear upon
the leaves as soon as the seed leaves
appear and may kill the plant, and
sometimes the largest proportion OF
the crop is killed. - 4
One of the best preventives is to
plant on high, light, we'll drained
soil. in selecting seed beans, all that
show signs OF the disease should be
rejected. When the plants are two
weeks old, they will be benefited by
being sprayed with weak ! ordeau1
mixture, to which enough soap has
been added 10 make little suds. Re-
peat the spraying three or four times
at intervals of ten days. If the pods
are to be eaten the spraying should
not be repeated more than once.
Whenever the disease appears upon q
pod or leaf, that pod or leaf becomes
centre of infection, and ought to be
removed and destroyed. Burning is

The Moulting Period.

Hens do not moult at the same
period every year. They begin a lit
lie earlier each season. A hen that
moults in July of this year may moult
in June next year, and the older they
get the sooner they begin to moult.
1t is not desirable to have them begin
before July, us the summer is the best
time in the year for securing eggs
August is late enough if the hens are
to get through by winter. The object
should be to assist them with nutri-
tious food and protect them from the
weather. Separate the hens TINT be-
gin to moult from the others, 30 as to
be able to feed them in the best why,

Feeding for Milk. Butter and Flesh.

Selected milch COWS at the Maine
experiment station were fed, two
rations which differed widely in the
amount of protein contained. w. n.
Jordan reports that in both the tim-
othy hay was the same and the weights
of the grain were equal, but in one
ration the grain consisted of equal
weights of corn meal, gluten and cot
tonseed meals, while i'll the others it
was all corn meal. The digestible
material furnished was practically the
same in both rations, though the pro.
portion of digestible protein was
nearly twice es great in the mixed
grain ration as in the corn meal
ration.
The general appearance of the cows
showed less thrift while being fed the
corn meal ration, though the body
weight did not vary greatly. The nj
trogenous ration produced from one
fifth to one-third more milk than the
corn meal, and this milk was gener-
ally the richer in solids by 80 to 40
per cent. The ration fed seemed to
have little effect upon the composition
of the milk solids.
Throughout the experiment the
proportion of fat steadily increased
without regard to what the cows were
fed, and no evidence was furnished in
support of the claim that by changing
the food of COWS, more butter fat will
be produced without IN accompany.
ing increased production of the other
milk solids. Hence the most profit
able food for butter production will
also be the most profitable for the
cheese maker or the milk farmer. The
chemical tests did not show any ap-
preciable difference in the butter
made from the two rations. Corn
meal needs the addition of more nj
trogenous material to make ita useful
food for dairy COWS.
