Grain Rust.

The red rust which often appears on
rye and wheat is the same that ap-
pears earlier in the season upon the
leaves of the barberry bush. We have
heard it both asserted and denied that
the same rust attacks the oat, but
never were able to trace the rust on
oats to the direct vicinity of the bar
berry, as we have that which ap-
peared on rye. But where these
grains are grown we advise cutting
and burning of all the barberry bushes
near the field. In some parts of Eng
land they have very strict laws, oblis-
Ing this to be done. There are prOba-
bly, some other plants upon which this
rust can be found, as it is sometimes
found on grain when there IS not 4
barberry bush for miles, but where
they are it always starts on them be-
fore it does On the grain. About the
time the grain begins to harden this
turns to a black rust, which is only
an advanced form OF the same disease.
1t does not hurt the kernel of the
grain, unless to cause it to shrink if
it comes very early.

is the only cure for the grasping heart.
The danger OF ambitions paths lies
not in that they are steep but that they
are slippery.
The man who is keenest on the in
spection OF his neighbors is usually
weak on intrCspection.
The herat of love is the only lense

We are almost inclined to agree with
those who deny the soul if they speak
for themselves alone.
The man who cannot get wisdom out

folly out OF all wisdom.

Setting Hens in Warm Weather.

Place large coop over the nest,
put plenty of dust and water in the
coop and in warm weather allow the
hen TO dust and drink as often as she
likes, but do not let her get out of the
coop and leave the nest entirely.
Where fifteen to twenty-five hers are
set it is advisable to build a number
of pens of wire netting. My pens are
arranged as follows: Build two
straight fences Of wire netting fifty
yards long, two yards apart, which
makes long lane. This lane is di-
vided into twenty-five pens and N
each pen one hen is set A door is
made to each pen and once a day all
the hens are fed and watered Dust
Is provided and the hens give little
trouble.-Orange Judd Farmer.

Growing Seed Grain.

We believe it would be profitable to
every grain grocer TO carefully select
by a sieve, or in some other way,
enough of his largest and plumpest
kernels to SOW on a strip Of his best
soil to grow as much seed as he ex-
poets to use another season. Save the
product for that purpose, and the
next year select the best Of that in the
same manner, and continue to do so
as long as it was found that the Sc
lected seed gave better results than
the other. Some experiments that have
been made in this way indicate that
the average of the entire crop was
nearly doubled by about five years
practice of this method, and even then
the average was far behind that where
the selected seed was sown.-Aner-

A Peculiar Industry.

AS as instance of peculiar industrial
occupations, it is said that dealers in
secondhand bread have pretty good
trade all the year round in London.
They collect fragments of bread from
the restaurants and dust heaps. which
they carefully sort into first and sec
ond quality. The former, being COM
paratively clean, is baked and then cut
into dice for soup and made into rasp-
ings, which are bought up BY the cook
shops for garnishing. The second
quality bread is SOD for food for poul-
try and other domestic animals.

a constant menace to the safety Of
both team and driver. Some bridges
are so short that three stout 'sleepers"
can be thrown across, having sup
ports only at the ends, but where the
bridges must be longer a support in
the middle is imperative, and for this
purpose the truss arrangement shown
in the accompanying diagram cannot
be improved. Such 4 bridge cannot

Keeping the Weeds Down.

But few weeds are found on we'll
cultivated farms. for the reason that
if they are kept down and not allowed
to produce seed they must consequent
" decrease in number until the farm
is clear of them. Good farming ex
terminates weeds. and when they are
seen on a farm it is evidence that the
owner has not done his best 10 de-
strOy them in the past.

One Years Experience With Turkeys

One Years Experience With Turkeys.
Taking the year of my best luck 1
had six hen turkeys. The first laid
eggs were given to hens and eggs from
the second clutch to hen turkeys. The
mothers were put in cOOps which, as
4 rule, were moved daily. The first
food given the turks was boiled eggs
and curd. After a few days they were
given dough from prevender of corn
and buckWheat, equal parts, wet with
sour milk. Eggs were put in the feed
and sometimes a little black pepper.
When large enough they had a supply
OF cracked corn, buckWheat and
scorched wheat, also meat scraps and
ground bone or fine shells.
The feeding of dough minus egg was
continued twice a day until the red
began to appear. They were provided
with pure water and road dust was
given them for wallows The mothers
were released when the young were
able to fly ON the rOost, but were not
allowed to roam far. At Thanksgiy-
ing l had JOG young turkeys, of which
fifty or more were ready for market,
and the remainder at Christmas. The
next year l kept one or two more
turkeys and raised ninety-four by the
same plan. In the year following l
set out to beat my record by keeping
nine hen turkeys. l Matched about
go, but foxes nearly ruined my flock
and l raised less than sixty.
In fattening l use corn meal wet
with milk and whole corn, sometimes
putting boiled potatoes with the meal
and little puiverized charcoal l

about the rt osts and feeding places.

How the House of Commons Received
 Him After His Betrothal

The house of commons is very human after all. It was in the very midst of scene approaching something like rarty fury-for the dying days of a ses- sion, with their long hours and the hsa: aro all the rest. are always bad tenn nered-it was in the midst of a seen of tEe usual kind that MT. Herbert GlaS- stone walked up the floor of the house of commons. The Irishmen were scowl- ing at-Mr.- Balfour. and Mir. Flavin was hurling an epithet of defiance at the young tory bloods who were rep.y- ing In kind. and MT. Swift McNeill was in condition of almost terricv,n !, ebullition-and all of a sudden 1t all stopped-and there rose from every part of the house a ringing cheer It was the greeting of every member to a colleague at an suspicious moment in his life. The unionists were even hap pier few moments afterwards: for in the very first division which took place. Nr. Gladstone went into their lobby. IT was the first victory of the young lady that is to be Mir. Gladstone's better half; for she has been a consjs1eh Primrose Dame all her days
 Mir. Gladstone has always been a pop ular favorite. The men who are to-day his parliamentary colleagues. and who
 
 ponents. remember him with affection when he and they were school boys at fton. His nickname by the way. was 'Tuppence'-his illustrious father had added twopence to the income tax: and now and then. I daresay, he is called b.- that oid nffectionate name. This popn- larity is not due. I need scarcely say to his great father-school boys don't care a brass farthing for the paternity n- H,Af.- snub and dislike the sons of great men. It was due to thorough manliness of character-courage. sweetness. high sense of honor-in short, to manliness. Just little below the middle height with eyes and skin as dark as those of a gypsy, M-. Herbert Gladstone has the physical strength. though he has not the height. of his father. He has the same great width of shoulders: he has the same fine muscular developme mt his walk-slow, easy. firm-is that of an athlete. and I would pity most men, even twice his size. who had to face an encounter with him. There Is i'm mense force, both mental and physical behind the angelic. ever boyish ano ever handsome and gentle face.
 MT. Gladstone'S main recreation i: golf. He has in his devotion to the game built himself q house at Little stone-the metropolis in the south al Littlestore. He is also a great bicy- clist. I am glad to say that in his ex- cursinos into finance. which have beer few and far between and mainly. if mol entirely. because of the connection o his business brother-Mr. Gladstone ha. l done well.
