His speech.

AS a specimen of what candidates for
parliamentary honors have OCCASION
ally to put up with from their Support
ers" the following little incident is
worth recording:
Visiting a north-country colliery dur.
ing the mems dinner hour, a certain
candidate was advised by his agent to
ask "old Ben" a supporter who hap
pened to work at the pit, to say a few
words to his mates.
After some little persuasion the old
mar acceded to the request, and this is
what he said:
"Weel, mates, I amt a-goin' ter tell
ye as We're getten a real straight, fair.
honest candidate. You knows as we'll
as l does as there amt no SIGH things
as a honest politician breathin'. How
sumever, I've heard both candidates.
an I've picked GOT wot 1 think is the
best Of a sorry pair! Ye'd better vote
for him, chaps! This" Indicating the
by no means comfortable candidate.
"this Is 'im!"
That was all.

Study What You Mos. Affect.

Scientists now acknowledge that edui.
cation has most effect upon mediocre
minds. 1t can do a great deal with
them, less for those that are defective
and still less for those highly endowed:
for talented persons, even though they
may receive all the usual courses of in.
%tellectual training, usually educate
themselves. They gain their most val.
liable education through the exercise of
their strongest faculties. Work is their
tutor and self-direction their college.
Parents and tutors need to have a
care that their efforts to be helpful to
children do not interfere with the nat.
ural development Of their faculties.
This is sometimes done through not rec
ognizing their special abilities, quite
frequently from a wish to fix their des-
TIMES in accordance with some v
tional standard. We should study the

Cabbage. a. stocls food.

~ NON
The value of the cabbage as food for
stock may be summed up as strong in
two points, the large amount that
be grown upon an acre of soil and its
succulency, which makes it a milk-pro-
duc!ng food easily digested. But 1t re-

short season, while If stumps and any
decayed leaves are fed it is almost i'm
possible to prevent it imparting a rank,
unpleasant flavor to the milk and but
ter, or even to the meat, unless its use
is discontinued two or three weeks be-
fore the Strengthening. AS regards the
nutritive value Professor Johnston in
Agricultural Chemistry estimated sew
enty pounds of cabbage to have about
the same value as four pounds of oil
cake. twelve pounds of pea straw, six
teen pounds clover hay, twenty pounds
of meadow hay, no pounds of oat
straw or 100 pounds of turnips. This
last we think he bases upon the fiat or
English turnip, which are not as nu-
nitious as the rutabaga. The value of
the cabbages, as of the roots, is best
found when a small amount is given
along with coarse, dry fodder and a
limited amount of grain.-Massachu-
sets Ploughman.

Sultan turned to the one guard in the
apartment and ordered him to retire.
The guard took a step backward and
halted as rigid as before. Abdul re-

more he had to command and this time
the man obeyed.
Prof. vambery was astonished at this

smiled, and explained. 1t happened
often that he wished to show faith in a
guest-that is, only apparently. He
would order the guard to retire, the
guard would remain, and Abdul would
go on with the conversation, seemingly
under the impression that the guard

Notes Abont Fruit.

In the market buyers sometimes pre-
fer small but fully ripened strawberries
to larger ones picked too green.
The grape is considered the most
healthful of all fruits. Every one who
has a garden, a yard or a wall can grow
grapes.
In starting a young orchard look af-
ter the trees often, and wherever a limb
is found crossing another limb cut it
out.
Plum trees should be sprayed with
Bordeaux mixture. but it should be
weaker than for apples. or it will burn
the foliage. 4.
Apple, pear and plum trees should be
planted in every poultry gard. They
will afford shade for the fowls and the
poultry will destroy many insects.
Plum trees do not generally require
as much pruning Is apple trees. Prun-
ing should be done us early in the
spring as possible, before the sap
starts.
There is no section Of country where
some variety of every kind of fruit
will not do well. Experiment with
fruit until you ind varieties suited ID
your locality.
Most plums should be picked for
market a few days before they are
thoroughly ripe. Even for home use
they are better just before they are per-
fectly rpe.-9ermantown Telegraph.

The Hessian E,v.

A correspondent of the National
stockman tells how he avoids trouble
from the Hessian in his wheat fields.
He prepares his ground for sowing,
andthen waits till he sees the fly about,
Then he drills in his wheat. AS the flies
all swarm at once. and only last four
days, they have all persisted before his
Wheat is up, and he suffers no damage,
and averages much better crops than

this habit of all coming out at once and

never saw or heard it mentioned be-
fore, but if true 1t should be generally

Plants Poisonous to Animals.
The bulletin from the Montana Ex-

or strongly suspected Of poisoning ami

start Horses Slcwly.


When the horse has been fed and is
taken out to work, it Should be started
in to labor rather easily to get the most
work at the least Inconvenience to the
horse. The reason for this is not hard
to find. 1t is simply that during the
feeding time the organs are getting
themselves into condition for digestion
and are possibly even digcsting the
feed. A large quantity of blood is call
ed away from the other members and
is poured into the vessels about the
stomach. This blood must all be with
drawn when the horse begins to work
and be supplied to the muscular or
gans where it is most needed. This
change cannot be done all at once. 1t
requires a little time for the blood to
reach the physical demands. If the
blood has time to make the change by
moderate starting all will be we'll. If
not, then there is a temporary exhaus-
ton from which it may require hours
to recover entirely.

Feedin,. En.iIa.e.

One can begin to feed silage from the
top of the silo as soon as cutting
ceases. or the material may be left I'm.
til needed in winter time, says Breed.
er's Gazette. The silo should be ar
ranged to have such diameter that
from an inch and a half to two inches
of silage will be fed off the top each
day. If less than this amount is fed
off, trouble may arise from the exposed
silage starting to heat and mold. If
SO much as an inch and a half or two
inches is fed off daily, then the silage
material at the surface is always fresh

Destroying Enslish sparrow..

A paper published in New South

stroy English sparrows out there. They
make a double coop and put one or
fowl or chickens in one compart-
ment, leaving the other empty. When
feeding they scatter a little wheat in
the empty compartment, which is soon
found by the sparrows. After about a
week they soak the wheat in vinegar
and sugar. After the sparrows become
accustomed to this, they add a little
strychnine to the vinegar and sugar.
and allow the wheat to. soak about
twelve hours, then dry it and scatter it
in the empty coop. One or two grains
is enough to finish any sparrow, and il

Clover Bloat.

Glover bloat can always be prevent
ed by keeping the cattle off the clover
while 1t is wet with rain or dew. The
usual cause Of death when an animal is
bloated is congestion of the lungs from
pressure of the stomach against them.
The flesh of such animal should be
darker in color from the stoppage Of
blood in the small vessels than the
desh Of an animal butchered. but 1 do
not believe 1t would poison any one to
eat the flesh of such animals. The best
remedy for clover bloat is to make an
opening in the upper part Of the left
flank with n p~ocketknife and thrust the
fingers into the opening. Then the gas
will escape at the sides Of the finger.
Or use some hollow tube to put into
the opening.
