By stirring occasionally, the hen ma

easily removed when it is to be

in the morning, small grain in litter,

til later in the day, when there is time
TO prepare the mash of grain and
vegetables. These methods may not
be the best for all, but for the busy
farmer, they simplify, and make the
work of caring for the hens consider
ably easier.
Mr.. Chapman's advice to farmers
who are thinking of engaging more ex-
.cnsively in poultry keeping, is to be-
gin with the small flock they have,
keep account of them for one year.
and see if they can make them pay a
profit. The average hen in New York
lays only about GO eggs in a year. BY
keeping thoroughbreds of the best
laying breeds, then by breeding only
from the best layers, you can get hens
that will lay 200 eggs in a year. BE
sure that your eggs are fresh, and
clean, then try to sell direct to the con-
sumner. In my experience, l have
ound the white Ieghorns the most
profitable breed"
Mr.. Chapman also gave some points
in growing turkeys on the farm. He
said that if you would feed them all
h grain they would eat, they would
not eat the grain, or other crops grow
ing on the farm, but will only eat the
insects. Keep turkeys in this way, and
they will not trouble your neighbors.
and they will be a source of consider

IMPROVING POOR LAND.
Wisconsin Farmer Describes a Sys-
tenn Which He Has Tried with
Great Success.

The best crop we ever had to i'm
prove a poor field or a ~sun-dried or
sun-baked one was We
sowed the land to peas early in the
spring. When they were ripe we
turned in a lot of hogs. AS soon as
they had picked all the peas we
Plowed the ground and let it lie until
September Is, when we sowed it to
rye. In the next spring we sowed
clover. The Y was a good crop.
and after it was removed we had a
fine stand of clover. When this field
is broken up and put to corn we are
certain of a good crop. The above is
the best method to improve poor and
noxious weed-infected land. Sum
baked land is caused by too wet culti-
vation or by letting stock run on it
when wet. 1t is very hard to get it
i'm good order again. There is moth
ing better than cowpeas for this. for
they give plenty of shade to the land.
They should be followed by clover,
which is a great soil improver and
makes splendid hay and the very best
pasture in the fall for cattle, putting
them in good order for winter when
they have to be fed or dry feed. Kept
in a good warm barn. however, the
cows give plenty of milk all winter.
In the day time We turn them out in
the stalk field except in billiards. or on
very cold days, when we keep them
out just long enough 10 water them
and to clean out the barn. We tie all
the cows with chains, American pat
tern. These give them more exercise
than any other method of tying. The
more stock is. sheltered during the
winter the less feed they take and the
better they look. 1t is the most eco
nomical method.-Theodore Bischoff,

Ice akin in Indfa

The most ancient method of making
ice is practiced in India. Holes are
made in the ground. dry straw is put
at the bottom of these, and on it, al
the close of the day, are placed pans
of water which are left until the next
morning, when the ice hat is found
within the pans is collected. This in
dustry is carried on only in districts
where the ground is dry and will readi-
ly absorb the vapor given off from the
water in the pans. The freezing, of
course, is due to the great mount of
heat absorbed by the vapor in passing
from its liquid to its gaseous FORM

INDIAN MISSIONARIES STORY.
Years of TOfIsome Ministry Among
the ChOctayEs,

Little York, Ind, April > Especially
twenty-five years ago, the Rev. c.
H. Thompson left Indiana. For a
time he preached in Arkansas, after
wards entering on the regular mis-
sionary work among the ChOctaw In
dams.
For five years, he lived and labored
among the full bloOds of the western
Prairies, until on April 5th, 1885. hav-
ing lost his wife, he left the circuit
on which he had preached so long,
and commenced travelling missionary
work among the Indians of the vari-
Gus Tribes scattered in the West.
This irregular work involved a
great deal of travel over the prairies.
The drinking of SO much alkali wa
ter, brought on Kidney Troubles
which terminated in Diabetes.
Finally, while laboring among the
Creek Indians at Wagner, Indian
Territory, this noble man was strick-
en- down completely. A Chicago Spe-
cialist was summoned, and after a
careful examination, declared that
there was not the slightest chance
OF his recovery. Besides the pre-
scriptions of the doctors, he tried
many other medicines, but all to no
avail. He says:
