AnimaI food for Poultry.

If we wish to feed stock of any
kind successfully, we would do
we'll to inquire into its natural
food. If purely vegetable, we
need not hope for success by feed
ing on a meat diet; if carniverous,
it will scarcely be healthy if fed
on a vegetable diet; if ominiverous
that is, eating Unfortunately
flesh and vegetables, then we
need not expect to be successful
unless we feed both.
Any one who will watch the
young chicks catching bugs on
these Summer evenings and prose-
cutting their search until shutdown
and after will not hesitate to con-
clude that the good Lord intended
chickens to live on both a flesh
and vegetable diet. Therefore,
chickens in confinement must be
fed some kind of flesh diet. They
are not particular about the kind
of flesh-either horse. cow or pig,
or a good lively maggot will not
come amiss; neither will crickets,
grasshoppers, bugs, flies, angle
worms or anything of that sort.
We are not giving instructions
how to feed chickens, but simply
point to the fact that nature in
tended them to have a mixed diet,
and the greatest success need not
be expected unless we conform to
her laws.

FOR THE FARMER.
Growing Irish Potatoes.

During the past FIVE years ex-
periments have been conducted
by the Texas station to determine
the best methods of planting, fer
tilizing and storing the Irish po-
tato crop in South Central Texas.
Many varieties have also been
grown to test yields per acre,
keeping qualities and their desira-
bility for sale purposes. In all of
the work recently done special
potato machinery has been en-
ployed and its adaptability to local
conditions proven. A full report
of these experiments is now in
press and will be published by the
Texas station as bulletin 50. 1t
will be sent to all applicants for
the horticultural reports issued by
the station.
In testing many forms of fer
tilizers it was found that the
largest yield was secured from
manure gathered from battlefield
ing pens and from mule stables.
By the use of these materials the
yields were more than doubled, as
compared with those secured from
unfertilized land. The tests were
conducted upon thin land, having
dark surface soil and heavy clay
subsoil near the surface, and it is
interesting to note that the stock
manure produced larger yields
than did any of the combinations
of commercial fertilizers used in
this series of experiments. Mex,
in order of value, among the
simple manures, was cotton-seed
meal applied at the rate of soc
pounds per acre, broadcast. This
and acid phosphate, used singiy
produced larger and cheaper gains
than did the other forms of com
mercial fertilizers.

Antiquity Of 0aions.

Onions and cucumbers are two
of the very Oldest known vege-
tables. Like peas, the Egyptians
grew them at least thirty centuries
ago. Indeed, to the onion belongs
probably the honor of being the
first vegetable primeval man ever
made trial Of Onions are not
found growing wild anywhere,
but kind of leek is not uncom-
mon in Southern Siberia, which is
very like the Welsh national en-
blem.

Cow Peas.

Probably no forage crop has at
tracted more attention in recent
wears than the cow pea. 1t was
slow in getting foothold in public
esteem, but when that position
was once obtained it advanced
very rapidly in public favor. This
is largely due to the fact that the
experiment stations took up the
cow pea and investigated it. They
found it to be very good plant
for the collection of nitrogen and
its introduction into the soil. The
farmers are now in close touch
with the experiment stations and
the value of the cow pea was
pressed on the notice of the farm
ers wherever the pea can be sue
cessfully and safely grown. We
do not hesitate to say that if we
had no experiment stations the
cow pea would be still struggling
for recognition. Without doubt
the COW pea is destined to play
much large part in our agriculture
than at present. There is no rea-
son why the farmers that have
ground in the early crops in the
Spring and first part of the Snm-
mer should not plant cow peas
afterward. OF course the pea
vines will not in such case mature
seed, but the vines and roots will
greatly improve the soil.

A Good Native Grass.

Considerable inquiry has been
received at the experimental sta
ito at Saltwater this Spring in re-
gard to a native grass that seems
to be gaining a foothold in Okla
homa. There are two forms of it.
One is called the Texas blue grass,
and the other the smooth Texas
blue grass. They are much like
the Kentucky blue grass, and are
very closely related botanically.
They are little coarser than the
Kentucky, but in form of head
closely resemble it. The Texas
blue grass has growth like short
wool in the head among the grains
while the smooth Texas blue grass
does not have it. The taste is
much like that of the Kentucky
blue grass. 1t seems to be rel
ished by all sorts of grass-eating
animals. 1t appears first in a
bunch or two here and there, but
soon spreads so as to cover con-
siderable area. 1t may be propa-
gated either by seeds or parts of
the plant, but seems to be spread
ing without special attention. 1t
promises to be one of the best
pasture grasses for the territory.

Bio Herd of AnQoras.

A California man has what is
thought to be the largest herd of
Angora goats in the world, 1t
varies from 5000 to 10000 head.
He considers 1000 to 1900 the best
number for a herd. Pure-bred
bucks are worth from SIS to $40 a
head, and does from 81 to So, &C
cording to the grade. The aver
age fleece of the thoroughbreds is
from 4 to 6 pounds. but clippings
of to 10 pounds are not uncom-
mon. There is a South African
Angora buck, Pasha by name,
that can be depended upon for at
least IL pounds of mohair annual
ly. From another and larger buck
brought from Turkey, fleece was
taken one year that weighed ID
pounds and IL ounces, and one
weighing IS pounds and 3 ounces
the next year. These animals are
appraised at $500 each, but are
not for sale.

Experimental Farmine.

Why shall not each farmer in
1900 set aside plot on which to
test seedlings of his own raising
or those secured from others? One
of the most interesting expert
ments is starting new sorts of
grapes. Take seed of any good
variety, plant in a bed, and the
second year transplant. have
secured from Concord all colors
and many very choice sorts. But
1t does not so much matter what
we work at-whether potatoes
corn, grapes, berries or beans-it
gives great zest to farm life to
create a new thing. Start your
boys and girls on that line, and
they will not hate farm life.

peas for his dairy cattle. When
the time came to harvest, the sea
son was so wet that he saw no
opportunity to cure the peas for
hay. He had often heard of the
silo, but had never raised his faith
to the point of investing in one.
But with the chance of a lost crop
staring him in the face, he hurried
to town, bought enough lumber
and Immediately built large stave
silo. The COW peas were soon
harvested and put in the silo. He
reports that he never had cows do
SO we'll before. He also mixed
corn and cow-pea silage with very
satisfactory results. This year he
intends to build two more silos
and store away an immense acre
age of corn for Winter feeding.
Mr.. Patterson now thinks that
every progressive dairy farmer
should by all means have silo.

SENSATIONAL SUICIDE
AT NIAGARA FALLS.
Hippolyte Schneider, of Pittsburg,
Fired Four Bullets Into His Body
And Was Swept Over the Falls at
the Cave of the Winds-Letters
Written in French Left Behind
Indicate That He Was Crazy.

NIAGARA FALLS, N. Y, March 3d.
A sensational suicide occurred this
morning on Goat Island, neal the
spring. A man waded out as far as
he could, shot himself three times in
the head, pitched forward into the
water, and was swept down between
Luna and Goat islands, going over the
falls at the Cave of the Winds. From
papers and letters left behind he is
thought to be Hippolyte Schneider, of
Pittsburg. Letters in French were
found addressed to Madame Lillian
Russell, %Infantia Dahlia and the West
inghouse Company, of Pittsburg. In
one letter he blames the woman, Lii
liam R. Russell, for his death and
leaves her all his property. The let
ters were rambling and indicated that
the man was insane. Naturalization
papers were found on him dated March
9, 1882, at Pittsburg.

WASHINGTON. March 30.-The
Loud bill" relating to second class
mail matter was agreed to in an
