With the high price of hay and feed
stuffs, 1t becomes important to utilize
20 the best advantage everything pro-
1uced on the farm. Many successful
stock keepers use large quantities of
leaves for bedding their horses and
other stock. Where they can be OBJ
tanned easily, they make one of the
best materials for this purpose. They
are dry, clean, sweet and have the
power Of absorbing much moisture.
When added to the land with the ma
nure they carry considerable amount
Of fertility and much humus.
Leaves should be gathered when dry
and about as rapidly as they fall.
Where trees are thick. supply can be
obtained in short time. A good plan
Is to take a large sheet of canvas.
such as used for covering stacks or
binders. attach light pole on each
side, and allow them to project a few
inches at each end. Spread this out
hat on the ground and rake the leaves
IN to it. When a good pile is obtained,
bring the two poles together, and q
nan at each end can then lift it readily
and empty it into large wagon box to
be hauled to the barn and deposited in
dry place. If a few pine needles
,an be mixed with the forest leaves,
hey will add greatly to the sweetness
and healthfulness of the stable.-Or.

Although not an article of food,

safe to place clear grit and nothing else
before little chicks. They are hungry

A Fhase of Now YORK Life.

A rather curious phase in New York
life and one that is a reminder OF
continental customs. is TO be seer
in several cafes ON the east side. Thif
Is the daily gathering Of men who play
checkers, pinochle or dominoes, or else
read the foreign papers that are kept
on file. From o'clock until 6 these
cafes are thronged-in one or two OF
the larger ones every table Is occu
pied-by good-natured groups, intent
on their games.
The question that naturally occurs
to every one not acquainted with the
circumstances is How do these men
live, that they may take half the day
for amusementT" The fact is that
most of them are small merchants
whose business is transacted between
the hours of in the morning and
noon, and after at night. In the
leisure hours OF the afternoon the wife
or trustworthy clerk is left In charge
of the store, while the proprietor seeks
recreation.
Considerable business In law and
real estate Is also considered across
the little tables, so that the afternoons
often turn out to be fairly profitable
after all.-New York Mall and Ex-
press.

Rough shod.

Sir Walter Scott. in his History OF
Scotland" tells a tale OF a highland
chief, one OF the Macdonalds OF Ross,
which is worth repeating. This worthy
had robbed of the little she possessed
a poor widow. who. in her despair, eA-
claimed she would demand justice from
her sovereign if she Jared all the way
to Edinburgh on foot. 1T is long
Journey" cried the robber, and, that
you may make it more comfortable,
will have you shod." And he sent for
a smith, whom he compelled to nail
a pair OF shoes to the wretched wom-
ans feet, just as horseshoes are fast
encd.
But the widow was keen witted. As
soon as her wounds permitted her TO
set forth she betook herself to Edin-
burgh and, obtaining admission to the
presence OF James l., informed him OF
the cruel treatment she had undergone.
The king, justly angry, ordered the
arrest OF Macdonald and of twelve OF
his principal adherents and caused iron
soles to be nailed to their feet. Thus
equipped, they we're exposed TO the
public for three days and then exc
crted.

Kitty had been told that the thunder
was the. voice OF the good man up

house to avoid the rain, and on one or
two occasions she had failed to heed
the warning and suffered unpleasant
consequences.
She was playing out OF doors the
other morning when there came a clar
OF distant thunder. She dropped every
thing and scuddled into the house, but
the rain failed to come. After waiting

remperature For Hatohipr Errs.

An experimenter writes to CONNER
cial Poultry that with five tests he
found that the temperature for hatch
ing eggs in the incubator may be from
l02 degrees to 104 degrees, and that
Plymouth Rock eggs hatched better
at one degree higher than was re-
quired for Leghorn eggs. That ven.
tilation is more important than the
moisture. That the variation in tenn
perature caused by stirring and turn
Ing the eggs has a good effect on their
Matching. and that the hen does more
stirring and turning than we give her
credit for. and that no brood excels
the Leghorn in strong. fertile eggs.
If the larger size of the Plymouth
Rock eggs, or its darker colored and
thicker shell causes it to require more
heat than the Leghorn. we think the
same thing might be true of Brahma,
Cochin and Langshan.

The Value of EnsiInpe.

AT this season OF the year the value
OF ensilage is plainly seen. Being
juicy, 1t is appreciated by cattle and is
rellshed because it varies the food.
Some claim that good corn fodder is
fully equal to ensilage, but those who
have sllos claim that, while cattle
Will reject corn stalks. they leave hut
little of the ensilage as refuse. The
quality Of ensilage has something to
do with its acceptance by stock. for
which reason it should be cut at the
proper stage of growth and put in the
silo with care, and with the object
of having it come out of the silo in
good condition in winter.
