Paid in His Own Coin.

Natural meanness comes out in vari-
Gus ways. | heard story of very
wealthy maa who was always in the
habit of riding in omnibuses because
he was too old to walk far and too
miserly to pay cabs. Recently, during
the heavy rains, he summoned an
omnibus, and it stopped for him just
off one of those seas of mud which the
sweepers accumulate at certain por-
tions of the street for the benefit OF
the mud carts.
Mr.. Meane attempted to get in, but
the steps were slippery, and he was
lottery. In consequence he slipped
and fell backward in the sea of mud,
where he was soused from head to
foot. The bus drove on, the other
buses took no notice of his shouts,
the hansome cabs all said Engaged, "
and even the four wleelers for long
time would not look at the pitiable
object.
Pedestrians, however, were not so
exclusive. A small crowd gathered,
roared with laughter, and offered jocu'
lar advice to the victim. At last he
succeeded in persuading a four
wheeler for a half-soyereign to take
him home-a distance which was un-
der a shilling fare. That was the
dearest shilling's worth he ever tried
to save. e.-Madame.

Isapc aa a Food Crop.

We have not yet seen single nm
favorable statement about rape from
any who have tested it as food. for
sheep, hogs or poultry, and that is
more than we can say for any of the
new forage crops, as vetch, sorg hum,
bronze grass, kaIir corn or any of the
rest. While some praise them very
highly, others find some fault, or have
failed to induce them to grow we'll
upon their soil. But rape seems to
grow anywhere that cabbages or tur-
nips will grow, and to do nearly as
we'll, whether sown in the shade of an
orchard as out in the open field, and
very nearly as we'll upon light soil
decently manured as on the most fer
tile fields of the prairie. We hope
our readers will try it this year if they
have anything to feed it to. 1t may
not prove as good fodder as the corn
crop, but it is worthy of trial.-Ameri-
can Cultivator.

His Last Brothers Voice Ia Z PhenoErsph.

On the 14th Of May, 1881, George
Remington, brother OF Peter Hem
ington Of Galesburs. Mich, enlisted IN
the regular army and disappeared. Per-
sistent inquiry failed to discover his
whereabouts, the only fact to be ascer-
tained being that Of his discharge for
disability soon after his enlistment.
Three months since Peter was in Kali
amazoo, where by chance he took in an
exhibition Of which phonograph form
cd q part. Among other features was
a fragment from the play, ''The Three
Guardsmen," during the rendering OF
which one Of the characters developed
a peculiar and scarcely noticeable stain
mer. Upon the request of Mr.. Hem
inston this part was repeated. and that
gentleman became convinced that II
was the voice Of his long absent broth
er, who had q precisely similar lmpedl-
ment in his speech. Since the above
occurrence the clue has been persistent
ly. followed, and a few days ago the two
brothers were reunited after nineteen
years.

Clearing Fields OF Ssoue


In the first place, when clearing a
field of stones, pick up all on top be-
fore plowing the field, and when break
ing sod have man with picka1 fol-
low the plow and pick up all that are
in sight. If subsoil plow is used, it
would be a good plan to pick after
that, too. Throw the stones in small
piles and it will be easier to haul them
off later.
Our method has been to never plow
down any stones if we could possibly
find time to haul them of, and by
taking one field at time, cleaning
that as much as possible by picking
before plowing and after narrowing,
once or twice, the farm will soon be
clear of all stones. The boulders we
dispose of in various ways. One is to
dig out a hole at one side of them so
deep that they will sink out of the
way for the plow, throwing the dirt
back over them again. Another is to
twitch them out of their hole with the
team and haul them away, burying
them in the covered drains or using
them in stone walls.
On our farm we have found that all
boulders stand deepest on the south
west side and shallowest on the oppo-
site side. We dig the soil away on
the deepest side enough to got chain
on it and place the team facing the
northeast, and out comes the rock
when the team starts, unless the chain
slips. One day last November with
the aid of one horse 1 took out and
hauled away boulder that must have
weighed half ton or more, but I
used my brains more than my hands,
and horse, for neither OF US is un-
usually strong. T. Lundvall, in

Potatoes and Eye.

Potatoes do excellently we'll upon
land where crop of green rye has
been plowed in, being usually very
free from scab, fair anil smooth.
Early potatoes can be taken off in
Time to SOW rye, which will make
growth enough to furnish q good fail
pasture or spring pasture for cattle
or sheep, aud then it may be rlowet
under in season TO plant potatoes
again or some other later crop. We
do not like the idea of growing two
crops of potatoes on the same land for
two years in succession, but there are
many other crops which would follow
we'll after the rye was plowed in, and
nearly all crops can be taken of in
time to SOW rye after them, which
will be large enough to plow Under in
the spring. But do not trust to the
rye alone as fertilizer, but use it as
an addition to the other fertilizer ap-
piled.

Food Irjrr'ng the Butter.

In the spring and summer COWS
will often wander into low fields and
swamps and eat weeds and wild plants
that affect the taste of the butter.
There is sometimes a strong odor to
it and again decidedly bitter taste.
This is first noticeable in the milk
and cream, and the process of churn-
ing does not eliminate the trouble.
The only sure way to prevent such
odors and disagreeable taste in the
butter in summer is to root out all
weeds and noxious plants from the
pasture. If the latter is in run
down condition where weeds thrive
and grass dies, it will be pretty hard
to make the food of the COWS good
enough to produce excellent milk and
cream. 1t will pay better in such
cases to rent more and better pasture
fields, and SOW the old one with new
seed and fertilize it we'll. Most tainted
and bitter summer butter comes from
farms where the COWS are pastured on
worn out grass fields.
In the winter time, however, the
dairymen cannot remedy matters 80
easily. The trouble comes from the
food, but the latter is in the form OF
hay, which cannot we'll be separated
so that the weeds can be taken out.
Where woods of disagreeable odor
have been harvested with the hay the
COWS will often produce inferior and
bitter butter all winter. In purchas-
ing hay for winter feed the dairymen
runs quite risk in buying weeds that
will do more harm than the food will
do good.
But it is not always the weeds that
taint butter. One may be as careful
and particular as possible in harvest
ing the hay crop, and yet find HIM
self making butter with decidedly
bitter favor The cause of this is
sometimes quite difficult to ascertain.
In my own experience I have found
that large diet of clover hay invari-
ably affects the butter injuriously.
No matter how choice the clover hay
may be, 1t Will cause the Dutter TO
have bitter taste if fed in any large
amount continuously through the
winter. If fed in small quantities
with other hay and feod and with
plenty of pumpkins and roots, there
will be no appreciable injury done to
the butter. But clover hay is not q
good diet for milk COWS. It has really
little usefulness for the dairyman. 1t
would pay him better if it was all
turned under the soil to enrich it.
Next to this the feeding of damaged
grain is the most fruitful cause OF
lad body in winter. Some farmers
bay up damaged grain because it is
cheap, but they cannot afford to feed
it to dairy COWS. In nine cases out OF
ten it will so injure the butter that it
will prove very costly in the end

"King" of the Newsboys.

"Davy" Stephens Of Kingston, Ire
land. claims the proud title of the king
of the newsboys. His claim IS partly
based on the fact that he has sold news
papers for fifty-four consecutive years
and partly on the fact that more ia
nous men and women have been
among his patrons than any Of his
rivals can boast. Thirty-nine years
ago "Davy" was on the dock when
Queen Victoria landed on her first visit
to Ireland, and sold her majesty pa
per, receiving in pay a gold sovereign
On the queens visit he was again on
hand and again made a sale at the same
high figure. Almost every great Eng
lishman Of the last half century has
bought papers from "Davy" and
stopped to chat with him.

Hunted a Bear and Found Silver.

J. S. Altenhaus, who lives in the
Big Horn mountains, in northern
Wyoming, while ont hunting recently
came upon the tracks of big silver
tipped bear and followed the trail to
the mouth of o mountain cave. The
hunter prepared torch and entered
the cave. A deep-throated growl and
the shining of phosphorescent eyes
betrayed bruins position, and close
and cool shot ended his career. In
removing the bear the attention Of
Mr.. Altenlaus was attracted to a
mineral vein showing on the cavern
wall. Securing samples of the rock
an assay was afterward made, which
gave returns of 10 per cent. lead and
200 ounces of silver to the ton. The
vein is about four feet in width and
extends for the full length of the
cavern, some 300 feet. Mr.. Alien
haus named the claim the "Silver
Tip."-Chicago Inter-Ocean.

Straw IA a HOrsa Feed.

Some straw can always be fcd to
horses, the amount varying with the
work and the purpose for which the
animal is used. Idle horses, having
ample time for hasticating and di-
gesting their feed, can subSist almost
wholly on good, bright straw; hard
worked animals and those required to
move rapidly can make use of only a
little the feeder must Judge from the
conditions how much to supply. 1t is
a notable fact that many horses are
fed costly hay for roughage when
cheaper straw or fodder would prove
equally satisfactory. In relative value
for horse feeding, the straw ranks in
the following order: Oat, barley, wheat.
rye-the last named being Of slight
utility.

and nectar in abundance, and when
they usually are ready for the bees to
work upon. 1t usually takes worker
bees about 81 days from tho egg until
they are ready to fly out to gather
honey, though they will go out at an
earlier age sometimes if the colony is
weak and the stores low. This Is
like the sending Of children out to
earn their living when very young; it
may seem necessary under some cir
cumstauces, but it is neither we'll for
the children nor profitable to the
parents in the end, if they can sustain
life in any other way.
Then the time to begin to feed the
bees to stimulate brood raising is
best pla cd at 81 days. before the
blooming of the flowers, OF little
more, that there may be plenty of
bees to go at work when the honey is
ready for them. If the season is de-
layed beyond the expected time, keep
up tho feeding, and if the combs get
well filled with brood stores, pnt on a
super with frames of empty comb, or
full sheets of foundation, aud let the
queen go upthere to start more brood.
If ono can get double hive in this
way we'll filled with brood, he may ex-
J ect not only strong swarm from it,
bat more than one or two crates OF
sect Gus or frames above it we'll filed
with honey. 1t is iu this way and by
feeding When the honey flow slackens,
and by good care at all times, that
some are able to gel l0l pounds OF
honey or more from each colony.
In this way the eight-frame hive
can be made practically 1G-frane
hive, with bees enough in it, and 1t
will not send out but one swarm or
should not be allowed to do so. If
more increase is desired allow them to
send out second swarm, which they
are likely to do if the colony is strong
and queen cells ave not destroyed.
then hive the new swarm in the upper
box with the brood and comb that
may be there, and have the lower
hive on the Old stand with supers to
build comb in. Boston Cultivator.

mated this grove to the state of Cali
fornia, the stipulation being that it
should be retained as a public do
