OUR cOUNTRY's STRENGTH.
r. Rests in the Rural Districts, In
contaminated by Selfshness
and Corruption.

To speak of the ignorance OF the
country people is to stamp ones self
as an ignoranfus-not the country
people.
There is an intelligence and sound
ness in the back country OF this lane
of ours, that those who live in cities
and think themselves wise little sus-
meet. Instead of deprecating country
life. and saying that ito live in the
country means to live out OF the
world" wise people know that the
free. untrammeled life OF the country
nnoue stionab,y gives broader views.
We can talk all we like Of social
-.volutions" and kindred evils that are
supposed by some to threaten the
country; but when they do threaten
the danger signal will come from the
back country.

e broader. the heart sounder; ana

THE ADAPTABLE OYSTER.
TransDlanted Several Times the Sue.
cuIent Bfva1ye Takes on New
characteristics.

Oysters of the species Ostrea edulis,
one year old, are brought from Brit
tany and transported at Hayling is
land. After two years on the Hay
ling beds they are transferred to
Whitstable, says Nature. While they
are at Hayling they acquire the
characteristics of favor and texture
and color of shell of the oysters ma
tive to Hayling, yet they are distin-
guishable as originally from Brit
tany. When they are transferred to
Whitstable they acquire the charac-
teristics of Whitstable, yet they are
and can easily be detected by ex-
perts.
Now, the curious point is this:
These oysters are known to spawn
at Whitstable, yet oysters "spat'
from this spawn have never been
found. There are found, however,
especially the last few years, i'm
mense quantities Of oysters which
resemble the ancient native oysters
of Whitstable, and are declared by
experts to be Whitstable natives, yet
differing from them slightly in
, coarseness of shell and greater grow.
ing power, and in being more suscep'
tible to cold weather than the an
cient Whitstable natives. Among oys'
| ter experts these oysters are con
sidered to be the offspring of the
oysters originally brought from Brit
| tany, and this opinion is supported
| by the fact that when these oysters
spawn at Hayling the spat from
them resembles in every way the
oysters native to Hayling. Can the
| oysters that become changed in thi:
way be considered to have acquired
their new characteristic by Lamarck
| ism or by natural selection?

SAVING CORN FODDER.
when Properly Preserved in q Dry
State 1t Contains as Much Nu-
tFiment ~ Silage,

There IL growing interest in the
preservation of corn fodder, and
farmers are finding that cows do well
upon corn fed in the husk. It has been
my practice for several years to cut
up the corn when about half the blades
are ripened, and to feed it to my cows
in winter letting them do the huSking
and the grinding. They do this work
cheaper than can do it. do not feed
ensilage. l sell my milk to the con-
densing factory, and our factory has
not progressed far enough yet to take
milk that is made from ensilage.
If dry corn fodder is properly pre-
served it will contain as much nutri-
ment as ensilage does, and more. The
trouble is that most of US do not prop
erly save it. When a boy we used to
cut off the tops of the corn stalks
above the ear and save this for fodder.
1t made excellent fodder, too. Wheth-
er or not it was then argued-as some
times it has been since-that the top
ping helped the development of the
ear, do not remember. 1t is of no
advantage in that direction, however,
and topping is waste, for stock will
consume pretty nearly the entire
stalk, if it is cut up at the right time
and shredded. It seems strange that
as valuable a forage as good corn
stalks should have so long been unap.
preciated. Good corn fodder is bet
ter than timothy hay, and immensely
better than great deal of timothy
hay that is fed. Over-ripe timothy.

Big Angora Goat Farm.

Maryland is soon to have an Angora
goat farm. A tract of 400 acres of farm
land. near Cfdarville has been pur-
chased by several wealthy men of the
state with the intention of raising
Angora goats on an extensive scale.
A company has been formed, and it is
the intention to stock the farm with a
large flock of the goats-proba bly,
5000 in number. The situation is said
to be very favorable to the develop
ment of the Angora goat, and the Off
cial reports Of the success attending
their raising in countries other than
that to which they are native encour-
aged the formation of this Angora
goat company.

TILE DRAIN FOR CELLAR.

tile, against the outside of the founda-
ton wall, should be of nature to let
the water down quickly to the tile.
Otherwise a great deal will find its
way through the stones of the wall
and enter the cellar, especially during
a heavy rain, when the ground is
soaked with moisture. There is al
ways space outside to be filled after
laying a foundation wall. Let this be
filled with gravel or small stones, and
the water will fall down at once to
the tile drain. Take special care in the
laying of this drain, for when once
down it is very great job to take any
part Of it up again.-N. Y. Tribune.

NOTES ON ALFALFA.
1t Requires Large Quantities of Lime
Which Should Be Applied the
Previous Fall.

Lime is very necessary element in
the soil, at least in states where the
plant may be considered out of its nat
ural region. The lime should be ap.
piled the fall previous to the seeding
and should be we'll narrowed into the
soil. II commercial fertilizers are to
be used they should be applied just
previous to the seeding, unless we ex-
cept Stag, which should be put on some
months before. The manure should
be applied after the cutting, prefer
ably late in the fall. The trouble with
alfalfa is to get a good start and q
good deal of nursing is required fol-
the first year. For this reason the
surface soil should be carefully pre-
pared, so that the roots may penetrate
the earth as rapidly as possible. After
it is started, care must be taken not to
NOW it too close or pasture it too soon
or too close. It will not recover so
rapidly as does grass, and sometimes
not at all. This is especially true dur
ing the first year. It takes rumber
of years for the roots to get good de-
velopment. They should therefore
have a soil with good depth between
the surface and the water table.
Though alfalfa is water-loving plant
it cannot grow with its roots saturat-
ed. It is not by any means an aquatic
plant, even to its roots. This is one
reason why it fails on some soils-the
water table being too near the surface
Of the ground. Weeds must be kept
out the first year, as they have bet
ter fighting chance at first than the
alfalfa.-Farmers Review.

Whether the cellar be under the

double tree, a, from slipping too far
