One day wonderful bird tapped
at the window of Mrs. Nnnsen--wife
Of the famous Arctic explorer-at
Christiana, Instantly the window
was opened and in another moment
she covered the messenger with
kisses and cnrcsses,
The carrier pigeon had been away
from the cottage thirty long months
but it had not forgotten it's way
home. II brought a note from Nan
sen, stating that all was going well
with him and his expedition in the
polar regions.
Nansen had fastened message to
the bird and turned it loose.
The frail courier darted out into
the blizzardly air. 1t flew like an
arrow over thousand miles of fro
zen waste, and one morning entered
the window of the waiting mistress,
and delivered the message which she
had been awaiting so anXiously.
We boast of human pluck, sagacity
and endurance, but this loving little
carrier pigeon, in it's homeward
flight, after an absence of thirty
months, accomplished feat SO won
derful that we can only give our
selves up to ama2ement and admi-
ration which must overwhclm every
one when the marvellous story is
told,-Atlanta Constitution.

Horse Ate Her Ronnstt.

In Paris recently woman dressed
beyond the reach Of criticism was
crossing broad boulevard. A cab
bore down upon her and she stepped
hastily back and stopped in front Of
the curbstone, unmindful Of a horse
and cart standing Immediately behind
her. The horse quietly shifted the
real oats with which her hat was
trimmed, and then, deciding that they
were genuine, began to MUNICH.
He was thus engaged when the
woman, unaware of the pleasure she
was affording the hungry animal,
started forward. But the horse was
far from satisfied, and planting his
forefeet on her skirt continued his re.
past
She, supposing the horse about to
devour her head, promptly tainted
and was removed TO drug store.

FertiIizing Strawberries.

Strawberries can be grown at a
small cost compared with the prices
received, but the better the cultiva-
ton and the more liberal the use OF
fertilizer the lower the expense, as
the crop yield will be so much
greater. The quality and size of
the berries will also be improved,
which will give them ready sale.
The main expense in growing straw
berries is the harvesting OF the crop.
The best time to apply fertilizer
from this time on is III March, the
fertilizer to be applied on the plants
in the rows. It's best not IL work
the plants until they finish bearing,
as the roots feed near the surface
and should not he disturbed. II
any weeds appear pub teen out.

Pruning In Winter.

Some successful fruit-growers
hold that fruit trees should not be
pruned in Winter. while others pay
little attention to the season and
"prune when the knife is sharp"
About one point, however, there
can be no doubt, and this is that it
is not advisable to prune when the
wood is frozen. Other conditions
being equal, Winter pruning is
practiced by many for the reason
that more time and care can be
given to the work in Winter than is
practicable in the hurry of the
Spring work. Grapes can be prun-
ed any time during Winter. If the
wood is wanted for propagation, it
should be cut just before the severe
frosts arrive.

When wood ashes are applied
lime is unnecessary, as every lOO
pounds OF wood asIrrs contain bout
40 pounds ct lime Ashes vary
greatly, as they are produced from
different sources, easily absorb
moisture, and their composition can
not be determined without careful
examination. The most valuable
ingredient in ashes is potash, the
proportion being about 6 pounds to
every 100 pounds of wood ashes.
Ashes also contain about 2 per cent
of phosphoric acid and about 3 per
cent of magnesia. Coal ashes are
of but little value Wood ashes
give excellent results on all kinds
of crops, especially grass.

A law that would prohibit the
sale of calves for food before they
are three months old would put an
end to "bob veal and lead to i'm
provement of stock, for the reason
that if farmers were compelled to
feed their calves to the age of three
months they would then give some
attention to breeding in order to de-
rive as much as possible from the
calves. The scrub bull would soon
become useless under such a system,
and the farmers would find the
change greatly in their favor. Many
of the infant calves are sold when
but three days old and are then I'M
fit for human food.

Many speak of the emulsion as

FOR THE FARMER,
Principles for she Peach Growers.

Principles for the Peach Growers
/, Select high, dry, sandy, or
sandy loan soil. The peach will
endure more drouth than any other
fruit tree.
2. Careful selection of those
varieties most hardy in fruit buds.
3. Vigorous, healthy stocks.
4. Budded from healthy, bear
ing trees.
5. Thorough cultivation from
early in the Spring until the LIST of
August.
6. Liberal manuring broadcast,
manure rich in potash, wood ashes,
such as often can he obtained at
mills.
7. Low heads, pruned every
year. Cut off one-third of each
years growth.
8. Wash every year with wash
made of lime, soft soap, with little
crude carbolic acid added to pro-
tect from borers.
8. Look carefully over the trees
once or twice a month; if any
disease makes its appearance and
the tree can not be restored to
health, pull it Up and burn,
10. If weeds grow after it is too
late to pillow under, NOW down and
leave for a mulch.
II. Protect against rabbits with
suitable wash, paper, or split corn
stalks. The above holds good for
plums budded on peach stock, with
the exception of trimming. Cherry
trees require less cultivation and
trimming than other trees.-Jacot
Faith, in Journal of Agriculture.

conveniently, wrap the apples in
tissue paper, singly, and place them
on shelves. If the apples are for
market they should not be disturbed
unless necessary, when they may
be assorted, the imperfect ones re-
jected, and the sound one repacked
in the barrels. They should then
be sent to market as soon as the
weather permits. 1t is a waste of
labor to send apples to market that
are in the least degree injured.

of his forgeries was never known, but
they amounted to more than 100000.
