Japanese Ivy for Building.

prised to see so many buildings covered
with Il beautiful clinging vine, which is
so called japanese ivy, Ampelopsis

many persons call all vines ivies, that
this one, clinging tightly to walls as ivy
does, is not so appropriately named
as many of them are. 1t is Il Japanese
vine belonging to the same family of
plants that our Virginia creeper does.
1t is grand vine for the purpose. What

Effects of lime ~, SOLE

There are certain soils in which lime
is naturally deficient, thoughs the use
of ground bone, acid phosphate and
wood ashes for the sake of the phOs-
phoric acid or potash in them helps to
increase the lime often to the full
amount of its needs. SO also does the
use of land plaster, gypsum or sulphate
of lime, which are all the same thing,
though sold under all three names.
While lime will accumulate in a dry
soil it teaches. out of a damp soil or in
a damp climate, which helps to explain
why it should and does prove beneficial
to apply dry slaked lime to soils where
the lime rocks abounds. Whatever of the
lime has become free may have leach
ed away. Good results may be expect
ed from its use where the soil is nat
orally deficient in it, or where it has
become acid or sour, a frequent result
of the presence of stagnant water in
undrained land, where other plant food
elements are in the soil, but largely I'M
available, from a lack of friabilty and
porousness. This may be in stiff, heavy
soils, and the use OF lime will help to
tighten them up. Lime also holds mois-
ture and prevents teaching in loose
soils, and helps to destroy insects and
fungouS diseases.

The experiment stations and farmers
who have trained themselves to close
observation of cause and effect have
given evidence many times that the
amount and quality of the wheat crop
and of other grain crops depend large
ly upon the quality of the seed used.
The larger and plumper seed gives the
most vigorous growing plant. 1t stools
out more, usually has sitter straw,
if it is not forced by the use of too rank
fertilizer by which we mean one too
rich in nitrogen, and therefore the bet
ter the crop. But there are other things
desirable in good grain crop. One is
to secure large heads well filled, and it
may also be desirable to have the grain
grow rapidly and mature early either
to obtain the best result in a short sea-
son or to escape insect attacks. The
best way to secure this would be to Sc
lect the earliest maturing large heads TO
be found and reserve them for seed.
The farmer who sows large areas may
think this too much trouble to get all
the seed he needs, but he should remem-
Der that if there is a profit in doing so
for one acre there would be a greater
profit in doing so on a hundred. A mod
ification of this plan is to select in this
way enough to SOW small plot very
thin, so that each plant will have a
chance to do its best and then reserve
a piece of the best land to sow that on
it to produce seed wheat A continual
lion of this process for a few years
would result in the production of an
extra early, hardy and prolific wheat

PouItrv Notes.

Never feed laying hens on one certain
diet or any coarse grain that will pro-
duce fat.
It costs no more to select the best and
improve the flock than it does to breed
without regard to system.
One advantage with ducks is that a
large number can be raised on a small
space, but more is required.
Fowls in the orchard work a twofold
benefit, the orchard and the fowls Sc
curing better growth with both.
Geese and turkeys require plenty of
room and it will not pay to keep them
unless they can have a free range.
When hens have scours a good remedy
is to feed powdered chalk in their soft
feed. bui the best regulative is a variety
of food.
Fowls should be allowed to run out
every day that the weather will permit
during the winter. They will be
healthier.
Geese live many years and it is of no
advantage to sell off the old stock, as
they are the best for breeding purposes,
as also for feathers.
If it is desired to have the greatest
number of pounds of meat produced
with the smallest amount of feed select
the large breeds-Cochins Brahmas or
norl5ingS.

Overfat Stock,

1t is beginning to dawn upon the
minds of farmers and feeders that
there is such thing as having animals
too fat for the slaughter as well as
for breeding purposes. Butchers and
marketmen have long known it, but
they made themselves safe by weigh
ing the meat before cutting off the fat,
a practice which they will probably
keep up until the customer complains
that he gets only u ounces of meat to
the pound. But he would complain
quite as badly if he had the other four
ounces in fat that none of the family
would care to eat. Then the price must
be increased if the surplus fat is to be
trimmed off before weighing. This is
one reason for the popularity of the
baby beef that has been well fed from
birth. Having been growing while it
was fattening the fat is not all in
layer upon the outside of the meat or
stored up around the kidneys, but the
whole flesh is tender, juicy and just
fat enough. The same thing is true in
mutton, and a well-fed yearling gives
better satisfaction than the three-year-
old wether that once used to be called
the best. Even some of the judges at
fat stock shows are beginning to look
a little shy at animals with great Jumps
of fat plastered along the backbone.

Stack Hav.

Feed stack hay before that stored i'll
the barn to avoid loss. While the hay
will dry out nearly as much in one
place as in another, there is a far great
er loss in feeding value in that put I'D
in stacks due to spelling on top by the
weather and on the bottom by damp
ness from the ground. The Colorado
experiment station found the loss to be
12,4 per cent in feeding value in stack
ed hay and but % per cent in that
stored in barns. a difference of 10 per
cent. Thus nine tons of hay put in the
barn will feed as much stock as ten
tons put in stack. When this test was
made, the conditions were more favora-
BILE than the average season for feeding
stack hay.-American Agriculturist.

Some Interesting Secrets.

There is a popular tradition that the
first duty of Senator of the United
States is to the country. The tradition
is in danger of relegation to the realm
of mythology. Senators who know and
privately admit that the ship subsidy
bin is only scheme TO steal public
funds say they are compelled by the
''courtesieS' of the situation to vote for
it, and they hope it will be killed in the
House An Eastern Senator is quoted
as saying: 81 think am committed to
the bill, but am very much opposed
to it," 1t would be interesting to know
who committed this honorable Senator

how much he cost in political pap, who
keeps his conscience and if it is en-
balmed.-P Philadelphia North-American.

THOUSANDS OUT OF POCKET.
Stopping of the Jeffries- Rubin Con-
test a Blow to Promoters.


test Blow to Promoters.
The granting of an Injunction against
the Jeffries- Rubin match in Cincinnati,
backed up by the stand taken by Gov.
Nash, who threatened to call the militia
to his assistance in case the managers
of the fight made any attempt to pull it
off, resulted in the stopping of the cham
pionshp contest that was scheduled to
take place there. There was some hint
that an effort might be made to hold the
match no matter what action would be
taken by the court, but there was appar-
emily no ground for this as the support
ers of the mill took their medicine.
The most sorely disappointed of those
who were in favor of holding the contest
were the members of the Saengerfest
Athletic Club They made n hard fight
to have the bout take place and brought
all their powerful influence to bear, but
the opposition was too strong. The match
was planned to raise a big debt that rest
ed on the Saengerfest, but now the soci-
ETY. finds itself plunged thousands of dol
lars deeper in the financial hole. 1t went
to great expense in advertising the con
test, overhauling the buildings where the
fight was to take place, etc, besides the
money it paid out to fight the Injunction
in the courts, and also the forfeit money
that had to be paid The managers of the
fighters in case the match would not be
held. The total indebtedness of the or
ganization at present amounts to about
$4,000.
After the Saengerfest the next heavi-
est losers were Billy Brady and Billy
Madden. the managers Of Jeffries and
Rubin respectively. The former figures
up his loss at $4,000 and the latter at
about $4,000. These figures include the
training expenses of the men and the
cancelling of profitable theatrical dates In
order that they might 20 into training
