where Honesty Exists.

~People in the small towns up in
Connecticut" said the travelling man,
appear to be much more honest than
they are in New York. Not one fam
lily in ten thinks of such a thing as
burglar alarms, and half of them do
not even lock their outer doors when
they retire. But what impresses me
most are the street laundry boxes.
Nearly every town of 5000 or more
inha has several places where
laundry packages are received and de-
livered. These places are generally
dry goods or notion stores, or haber-
daSherics. Suburban merchants as a
rule do not keep their stores open much
later than S o'clock in the evening and
do not open them until or half past
in the morning.
This does not suit all their patrons.
so it is no infrequent sight to see out
fair sized opening in the top. The box
bears the legend IF the store is closed.
put your laundry in here Now. just
imagine n New York laundry Office u.s.
ing Il receptacle like that! Why, five
minutes after package was deposited
in the box 1t would be fished out, and
in an hour its contents would be in the
possession of some dealer in second
hand clothing. But up in Connecticut
the scheme seems to work very well.
and all I can say is that it is a tribute
to the general honesty of the commu
nity."-New York Herald.

SCIENCE IN FEEDING.
Nitrogen and Carbon the Two Prlnci"
pal Substances Desired In
Food for Poultry.

Many farmers do not fully under
stand the terms used by those who
give directions for feeding, although
some farmers have made such matters
a study. A farmer may not know the
relative proportions of the several sub
stances in foods, but he should en-
deavor to learn by experience what to
give his flocks, what to avoid, and how
often. The two principal substances
in food desired for poultry are nitro
gen (for flesh, albumen, etc., and car
bon (for fat). The heterogeneous foods
are meat, beans, clover, and to GER
tain extent grains. The carbonaceous
foods are corn, fat meat, grease, rice,
etc. If a hen is fat she needs no food
eNceHing in fat. Hence, finely cut clo-
yer hay scalded in the morning, with
a tablespoonful of lnseed meal at
night, is better for egg production
than grains. If the hen is poor, give
grains at night. All foods, however,
contain fat and also some nitrogen.
1t should be borne in mind that the
more quiet and sluggish the disposition
the less corn or heating food is re-
quired. A laying hen should never be
is very injurious to reproduction. If
too fat the hen may not lay; she be-
comes egg-bound, breaks down, and
soon proves unproductive. Any fowls
that are active foragers and are laying
may be fed all they will eat; but if the
hens are apparently in good health, but
do not lay. feed no corn, give plenty
of meat and allow bulky food, or they
will fatten quickly. If fed heavily,
hen will either lay or fatten in short
time, and if the hens are Asia tics and
cease to lay the feeding must be done
cautiously. It is even better to get
them down to poor condition rather
than permit them to become too fat.
An excellent mode of feeding is to
allow plenty of bulky food, and to give
each hen an ounce of raw chopped
meat in the morning and whole oats at
night. A few grains of wheat or corn
may be scattered in litter, in order to
induce them to ratch, which will be
beneficial; but grass may be fed free
ly. There is no advantage in break
ing an Asatic from setting; but the
best way to break her is to place her on
a grass-plot in a yard and compel her
to hunt for her food. box may be
allowed her at night, which should be
the next day, unless in damp
weather. The object should be to get
her to work and reduce her in flesh.
If food is scarce in the yard few
oats at night may be given. If all
breeds are kept together some of the
hens will lay, while others will not, for
the reason given above. Therefore, it
is best to keep only one breed, so as
to give all the hens the same manage

CrODs Not to Turn Under.

There are few crops that pay well
if turned under and good many that
it does not pay to turn under.
Among the latter are such crops as
rape. Every once in awhile some per.
son asks the value of this for green
manure. 1t is practically nothing.
The reason is that it adds nothing tC
the soil, for it has built itself up en-
tirely from the soil. AS general
proposition we should turn under only
those plants that have gained some
thing from the air, and those plants
are the legumes. Fortunately the
number of the legumes is large and
some of them will do we'll on most
any soil. If we can't grow one of the
clovers we may yet be able to grow
cow peas or sofa beans, or even the
sand vetch. We have even seen the
ground sown to white beans and tine
crop turned under VIXEN the growth
had become rank.-Farmers' Review.

DRESSED BIRDS ARE DEAD.
The Needed Lesson That Was Given {
Fault Finding Poultry
Dealer.

During last Thanksgiving week poultry
man of the northwest sent several barrelfuls
of fat, dressed turkeys to certain commits
sion merchant, who is an extremely "close
buyer" and never fails when he receives a
consignment to claim an allowance for some
thing alleged to have spoiled on the way.
Heretofore, says the San Francisco Argo-
naut, he had dealt exclusively in live
fowls, and probably the correspond
clerk got things mixed. At any rate the
shipper was astonished to receive letter by
return mail about as follows:
"Dear Sir: We regret to advise you that
four OF, the turkeys, in your consignment of
November reached here dead. Please make
deduction for same and return correct
amount. Yours truly
The poultryman communed with himself
and replied thus:
'Dear Sir: I am sorry to say find it inn
possible to make the concession requested. I
have esta blished rule requiring all GUS
toners who desire live dressed turkeys to
notify us in advance. so we can send them
in heated cars. Turkeys without feathers
and insides are liable to catch cold if shipped
in the ordinary manner. The mortality
among dressed turkeys was very large this
year. Yours mournfully."

EARNED HIS SALARY.
With a Few Notes from His Chest He
illustrated the Value of
His Singing.

A favorite story of the late Sims Reeves
tells how, once upon time, the famous tenor
was stranded at a country junction, waiting
for train. 1t was cold and miserable and
the singer was naturally not in the best of
temper. While chewing the cud Of disap-
pointment an old railway porter, who recog-
nized him from the published portraits, en-
tered the waitingroom.
GOOD evening, Mr.. Reeves" he said.
Good evening, my man." replied the yo-
calist, getting ready the necessary tip. But
the man sought for information rather than
tips, o,
"They tell me you earn heap of money"
be remarked.
"Oh!" murmured Mr.. Reeves. .
"And yet" pursued the porter, "syou don't
work hard. Not so hard as I do, for in
times what do-eh?"
"What do you earn?" asked the singer.
Eighteen shillings week all the year
round" said the porter.
Sims Reeves opened his chest: "Do re, mi
do" he sangs the last note being ringing
years salary gone!"

Agriculture in the schools.

The teaching of agriculture in the
country schools is receiving attention
1t is believed that if the children OF
farmers are taught regarding some
things done on farms, and especially
where mistakes are made, they will
have desire to learn more and will
take more interest in literature re-
lating to farming. The study of ag-
riculture in the schools will not
greatly interfere with other courses
and can be made more interesting if
lectures are given and practical dem
onstrations made in botany, also
showing the textures of soils and the
growing of crops, etc. 1t is possible
that some method of instruction may
be devised that will induce the young
men to take more interest in farming.

HAVE A HIGH STANDARD.
And Then Try to Live Up to 1t n
Nearly as Circumstances and
Conditions Permit.

If the question as to who is the most
successful farmer in a neighborhood
were thoroughly studied, great deal
more success in farming would result.
The most successful farmer sees the
mistakes which hasty action makes,
and therefore considers well before
hand everything he does, and avoid
the mistakes of rushing at a job with
out considering the consequence. The
most successful farmer is he who i'm
proves his intellectual faculties along
with the development of his industrial
faculties.
Some of the things the successful
farmer does are as follows: He con-
siders well how to prepare land for
next years crop. He labors at it I'M
tiringly until thoroughly satisfied that
crop of No. grain. He clears his
land of rubbish and stones, and will
not hesitate to put in drains and eN-
pend money on improving the land
whenever he deems it necessary. He
carefully selects what fields are best
for wheat and which for pasture. His
buildings are good, thus keeping his
stock in good condition. He selects his
dairy cows and his cattle for beef, he
selects the best breed of pigs and
other animals, and everything he has
is kept up to the standard.
He is not a greedy, groveling old fell
low. On the contrary, he enjoys life
in every way which he thinks does
him any good. He takes and studies
agricultural papers, newspapers and
books of an instructive sort, and al
lows his children good moral literature.
He goes to his wife for advice and
lays before her his plans for future
time. He quietly attends to his bust
ness at home and does not ask the pub
lie what he may and may not do. In
all his outdoor zeal the farmer does
not forget his wife, but has everything
in the house as handy and convenient
as possible for her. Perhaps my stand
ard for the successful farmer is too
high; but every one of us ought to
try to be as nearly the Standard as
possible.-M. j. Mills, in Farm and

DIVERTED FROM THE FARM.
English Energy Ii Being Transferre d
from the Country to the Large
Cities.

England in the seventeenth century
was an agricultural country, and,
broadly speaking. that condition con-
tinued throughout the greater part of
the eighteenth century. AS between
the two centuries, however, there was
one great difference, that while in the
seventeenth century agriculture pro-
crossed very slowly in the eighteenth
century it made immense strides.
Throughout the greater part of the
eighteenth century agriculture was
fashionable. Noblemen We'd with one
another in making agricultural expert
ments and in improving their estates.
They thought more about INTRODUCING
new root crops and new grasses or i'm
proving the breed of some sheep and
cattle than they did about the amuse-
ments of the London season. At the
same time large areas Of land that ha d
been previously cultivated on the semi
communistic and wasteful "open field'
system were inclosed' and divided into
separate farms. The other important
developments of the eighteenth CEN
fury may most fairy be regarded as a
preparation for the century to come,
says the London Graphic.
Toward the latter end of the century
several of the machines which were to
revolutionize the textile industries of
the world were invented in rapid sue
cession, but it was only gradually that
they were brought into use. Toward
the end of the same century began the
great improvement of highways and
the construction of canals. But in the
case of each of these brilliant develop
ments the greater part of the profit
accrued to the century that succeeded.
At the beginning of the nineteenth
century England was still an agricul-
tural country, still frequent seller
and rare buyer of wheat-and she
was only just beginning to utilize the
marvellous inventions of Arkwright and
Watt. the engineering triumphs of Tel
ford and the immense stores of mineral
wealth buried beneath her soil. If we
turn back to temporary estimat es
of the wealth of the country at the be-
ginning of the nine teenth century we
find the first point considered is the
rent of the agricultural land. To-day
it would be one of the last.

Like a flash the whole truth dawned
on the boy in the dark. The numerous

now explained.
There was powder in the cellar, and
it was patriot powder at that, intended
to be Struggled into Fort Stanwix at
the first favorable opportunity.
Gottlieb felt his heart .eap with de-

sorely the little garrison OF patriots

down the door and overpower him.
