Crop-Bound Fowls

There Is more or less trouble with
crop bound fowls In the summer, and
during this season it Is due nearly al
ways toSthe bird having got some i'm
proper substance in its crop. If the
bird is valuable one and worth treat
ing the best plan is to take her be-
tween ones knees with cup Of sweet
scalded milk in hand and gently force
some of the milk down the throat, at
the same time working the crop gently
back and forth with the fingers. AT
ter giving a few spoonfuls of the milk
then give dose of Rochelle salts in
a little milk. If this does not bring
relief, go back to the first treatment,
which will be more effectual after the
use of salts, and will relieve the trou-
BILE in the majority Of cases. The diff
Guilty may have been caused by eating
too much grit or gravel, or eating con
siderable mud when picking up corn OF
other grain thrown to the hen. After
feeding the fowl as indicated she
should be fed bread moistened in mill
for day or two and kept in clear
coop, where she can get no food except
that given her.

possible; how good and worthy she is;
what an impossibility it is even to look
back now. l know it all, and feel how
miserabiy binding 1t is upon me. Yet l
love Olivia; and | shall never love Julia. !"
A long, dreary, colorless, wretched life
stretched before me. with Julia my in
separable companion. and Olivia alto
gether lost to me. Captain Carey and
Johanna, neither of whom had tasted the
sweets and bitters of marriage, looked
sorrowfully at me and shook their heads.
You must tell julia" said Johanna,
after long pause.
Tell Juiiar' I echoed 81 would not
tell her for worlds.'
You must tell her," she repeated; "it
is your clear duty. / know it will be
most painful to you both, but you have
no right to marry her with this secret on
your mind"
II should be true to her." l interrupt
ed somewhat angrily.
What do you call being true, Martin
Dobree? she asked, more calmly than
she had spoken before. els it being true
to woman to let her believe you choose
and love her above all other women, when
that is absolutely false? No; you are too
honorable for that. tell you it is youE
plain duty to let Julia know this, and
know 1t at once"
Nothing could move Johanna from that
position, and in my heart recognized its
righteousness. She argued with me that
it was Julia's due TO hear it from my
self. | knew afterwards that she be-
lieved the sight of her distress and firm
love for myself would dissipate the in.
fatRation of my love for Olivia. But she
did not read Julia's character as well as
my mother did.
Before she let me leave her | had
promised to have my confession and sub
seQuent explanation with Julia all over
the following day; and to make this the
more inevitable, she told me she should
drive into st. Peter-port the next after.
noon about Eve o'clock, when she should
expect to find this troublesome matter
settled, either by a renewal of my affec.
ton for my betrothed, or the suspension
Of the betrothal. In the latter case she
promised to carry Julia home with hel
until the first bitterness was over.

Robbiur Farm. and Fami1ie..


The American Sheep Breeder says
that it is quite possible that an ounce
of mixed food. such as corn and oats
ground together, with an equal guam
tity of wheat middling or bran. will
add an ounce or more to the weight of
lambs after they are four weeks old,
If given daily in addition to other prop
er food, and as they grow older this
amount may be increased, with nearly
corresponding increase in weight
gained. To exchange pound of grain,
costing about one cent, for pound of
lamb worth fifteen cents seems to be
a trade that almost any farmer would
be willing to make, but we have seen
those who boasted that they never
bought any grain. They did not raise
lambs or chickens. sold but little and
bought less, and saved money, but we
would not have accepted their farms
and the money they had accumulated
and agreed to make the farm as good
as 1t was when they received it. Such
farmers are usually robbers, robbing
the land of its fertility, robbing their
families of the comforts of life, and
their children of the pleasures of youth
and nearly all that Is desirable in life,
unless the children forsake the farm
and establish home where they may
earn more, expend more and enjoy
more Of life.-New England Home

How Banana Trees Grow

1t is a peculiar fact that but one
bunch of bananas grows on a tree.
After the fruit has been cut the tree is
then cut down to the ground, and from
the stump another tree sprouts which
bears another the following year. The
greatest trouble Of farmers Is to keep
the farms clear of sprouts. They shoot
up from the roots of the tree for radi-
US of ten feet and grow like weeds.
As the fruit is cut from trees 1t is
placed on the backs of little pack dom
keys and transported in this way to
the coast. One donkey can carry from
three to six punches, according to the
size of the punches and the distance
from the coast. In the season at Bara-
Goa there are more than 5000 donkeys
that stretch along in line for miles,
plodding toward the coast with their
loads of bananas.

Keeninx MIX Sweet

If the milk is to be delivered In good
condition to the consumer during the
summer months, it must be thoroughly
cooled and aerated and kept cool, SAYS
Hoard's Dairyman. These steps are
absolutely necessary with all milks
during the hot weather. A great i'm
proyement can also be made by looking
carefully after the cleanliness of cows,
stables and milk utensils, as there is a
great difference in the keeping quality
of clean and dirty milks. The whole
question of keeping milk sweet is in
providing clean article kept cooled
and well aerated. Preseryatives should
not be used under any condition.

NaiIs iu .AppIe Trees.

Among old-time fruit-growers there
exists an opinion that by driving nails
in apple trees certain diseases and at
tacks by insects are avoided. The only
possible good that could come from
driving nail into tree would be that
which might come from the rust which
would accumulate on the nail, and it is
only sensible to suppose that this rust
would be Of no value anywhere, except
in Its Immediate vicinity. 1t is WELL
known fact that rust has no effect, good
or otherwise, on the sap of tree, and
as for the rust in any way destroying
or preventing insect life, 1t is not so.

Profit In sheen.

Under proper handling it costs little
to keep small flock of sheep on the
general farm, and they return enough
to more than pay good interest on the
investment and something over in the
shape Of wages for the owner. Then
the lambs and mutton, whether ship
ped to market or killed for home use,
must count as clear gain.

Pretty Royal Wedding Custom

A pretty custom dating from the

has ever since pertained in the
royal family. A sprig of the myr-
tie which formed part of the
brides wreath was carefully cnl
tured, and in due time planted ont.
When the princess royal was mar
ried sprigs were Gu. for her bridal
wreath from this myrtle tree. The
princess following, her mothers
example, had one of the sprigs car
ed 70. ill it became a fullsiZed tree,
which served for her daugbter-in-
laws wreath at the wedding of the
present Emperor of Germany. The
custom was observed in the mar
rage of the Prince of Wales and
all other Of Queen Victoria's chill
dren and grandchildren. There is
already as the result of this charm
ing custom, the making of grove
of myrtle trees.-Ex.
