the ABOLITION OF HOME.

The American peripatetic family is
of several kinds, and is becoming a
distinct and important feature in our
life. First. there is the family of
wealth. Col T. w. Higginson once
said that in his boyhood there was
one man in the state of Massachusetts
who owned as much as one million
dollars. Today New York City alone
has over thousand millionaires,
many of whom are multi-millionaires,
and Mr.. Rockefeller is estimated TO
own thousand millions.
The enormous increase of wealth
means many things to the nation, po-
litically. industrially, spiritually. II
means to many brown-stone front in
New York City, palace cottage at
Newport or Bar Harbor, another at
Lenox or Lake George, with resident
caretakers and equipages. 1t means a
private car, private yacht, a shoot
ing-box; ii means Ave months OF city
life broken by a trip TO Porto Rico or
Palm Beach or Pasadena, and several
months divided between country and
shore, with every other year trip to
Alaska or Vienna or the Orient WhaJ

but as a general thing the long-eared
ones, kno, are the least apt to skratch

years if they are not disturbed. Fresh

CHARACTER BY SMELL.

According to writer on perfumery,
essence of peppermint is the specific
for the development of the mercantile
instinct. Business men, therefore,
will do well to see that their handker
chiefs are properly saturated with it
during business hours,
Essence of magnolia moves him
who shifts it to warlike passion.
Caution in the use is therefore to be
recommended. The scent of the violet,
we are not surprised to learn, pro-
duces spirit of placid devotion. The
lily, however, causes obstinacy. Ex-
tract of cloves transforms the milk of
honest thought into the rankest
poison.
Essence of bergamont changes the
frivolous spirit into the profound and
meditative thinker, while vervain has
the merit of instilling artistic ideas.
But the king among perfumes is with
out doubt ambergris. Before amber
girls we must all bow the knee, for it
is the divine essence on which genius
may be nurtured.

Alfalfa IN New Hampshire.

Since graduation from the New
Hampshire college of agriculture in
1894, have been studying the feed
thing in the great family of legumes
that would stay on our old hillside
farms and yield year after year heavy
crops of rich fodder without reseeding
or cultivating, says writer in the
Rural New Yorker. ! studied the re-
port of the department of agriculture
in the yearbook of 1897, and envied
our western brother farmer who could
grow immense crops of rich feed year
after year without reseeding or cuti-
walton. ! talked alfalfa, only to be
laughed at, until a friend from Win
hill lot of Is acres, said: This land
would grow alfalfa just as well as my
own; try it," But so little faith bad
that did not SOW any until about the
middle of May, 1902. We plowed under
very light crop of winter rye on land
not fortified for eight years, fitting
it the same as for oats, using no fer
tilizer of any kind. I did not expect
it to grow more than three inches
in height the first year. l used 10
pounds of seed to the acre, in fact,
had so little faith that we planted
the piece to yellow-eye beans, using
no fertilizer, expecting to top-dress
them with ashes.
By the middle of July the field was
red with the blossoms of the smart
weed, seeded by the wash from field
above badly infested the year before,
divided the field off for treatment,
moving the first close to the sod,
beans, weeds and alfalfa. Part No 2

the beans on second plot, leaving the

picking the apples we turned in a lot

tried ashes, grass fertilizer, barnyard
manure and lime on all plots. We
think so bushels unleached hardwood
ashes as good as anything to put on
when seeding. This spring We tested
all plots and think the part left I'M

stay in cock long; hay it and put it in
the barn. l think too much is said
about losing the leaves; they are not

CARE OF CHICKS.

There is much loss among chicks,
and yet much of the loss is due to the
lack of suitable accommodations for
the hens when they come off with
broods. The hen is expected to raise
the chicks, but she is seldom assisted,
unless during prolonged and very
stormy weather. There are days when
the chick will thrive better on the
open ground than elsewhere, and there
are times when they require the judy
ment of their owner, rather than be
left to the guiding instinct of the hen.
1t does not cost a great sum to pro-
vide suitable runs for the chicks.
Boxes of any kind may be used for the
hen to retire into at night, and each
box goes in for the evening, or the lit
tie chicks will be carried off by cats
or rats. If the box is left open the
chicks will be tempted to venture out
very early in the morning, and if the
run is so constructed as to permit them
to go outside of it, as is frequently
the case, the unprotected chick is
doomed. This is always possible, as
the runs are intended to confine the
hen. the chicks having full liberty. 1t
is early in the morning that the cat
becomes a depredator among the
broods, and we can vouch for the fact
that it is the cat that plays with the
chicks during the day which eats them
a nigh, when she believes she is I'M
observed. Construct the runs so that
they may be moved daily, and keep
the bottom of the box covered with
dry earth or sand, cleaning it often.
1t is better to feed chicks often, about
every two hours for the first ten DAYS.
rather than to give too much at a
meal. The fod may be varied. There
is no secret in the feeding Of chicks.
Simply give them anything they will
eat and they will thrive. Dryness is
essential. Never alIow them to be ex-
posed to dampness. Many draw
backs may be avoided with a little ex-
ira care. and now is the time to make
preparations.

Horse Feeding Experiments.

The United States department of
agriculture has just issued a bulletin
entitled "a digest of recent expert
ments on horse feeding" by c.. F.
Langworthy. This bulletin is COM
pilation which summarizes and dis
'cusses recent experimental work with
horses, especially that carried on at
the agricultural experiment stations
in the United States. The principles
of nutrition with reference to horse
feeding are discussed and figures are
given showing the composition and
digestibility of the coarse and con-
centrated folders commonly fed to
horses. Experiments are summarized
which discuss the comparative value
of the different feeding stuffs and
special attention is paid to some, like
molasses, which are becoming more
important than formerly. The COM
parative merits of different ways of
preparing feed arc also treated, as well
as the proper time of watering and
the amount Of water required. Some
thing is also said of the energy ex-
pended for different kinds of external
work and its measurement, the energy
required for chewing and digesting
food and other forms of internal mus
cular work, and similar topics. Data
are summarized in the form of table,
which shows the nutrients and energy
furnished a 1000 pounds, live weight,
by the rations fed to American and
foreign army horses, cab and bus
horses, ETC., as well as those supplied
to the horses of express companies,
fire companies, packing houses,
breweries, etc., and the farm horses
employed at the different experiment
stations, such data having been espe-
cially compiled for this bulletin. Aver
age values were calculated, showing
the amount of nutrients furnished to
horses performing different amounts of
work, which it is believed may serve
as guide in fixing upon suitable ra-
lions.

Wyndottes as Market Fowls.

The Silver Wyandotte male with
Brahma or Cochin hens is one of the
best that can be made for crossing on
large breeds. with view of retaining
the size as well as to improve the
marketable appearance. 1t is, per-
haps, better to keep all the breeds
pure, where it is possible to do so, but
there are some farmers who have
large hens, probably crosses from
Brahmas or Cochins, and who wish to
preserve the yellow legs and skin, as
well as to have the body compact and
readily salable, says the Mirror and
Farmer. For that reason the use of
the Wyandotte male IS suggested 1t
is a cross that is excellent for produc-
ing market fowls. If pullets for next
years laying are required the use of
Leghorn male will probable give more
results, although the pull
lets from the Wyandotte cross will be
found not deficient as layers or
mothers. The Wyandotte is medium
sized fowl, but has golden-yellow legs

Points About SiIaqe.

Novices in silage making frequently
have what they call sour silage."
This silage is not equal in feeding
value to silage that is slightly acid
The reason for this is that the corn
from which the sour silage was made
was cut at too early a stage-while
the plant was still full of sugar, says
the Farmers Review. Later this
sugar would be turned into starch by
the operations of nature. In the form
of sugar the heating changes that
element into acid 1t thus loses it's
value as heat and energy producer.
If the corn be allowed to mature suf-
ficiently to develop the starch, the
acidifying process cannot take place.
For this reason the growing of the big
southern silage corn had to be aban-
doned in the north. 1t took such a
long season to mature that the frost
came and caught it while it was still
in the sugar stage. Such corn had
less value as silage than it had as
green feed, which is not the case with
silage made from corn at a proper
stage of maturity. Such silage is SUI
perior to green corn, being more d.
gestible. The right time to cut corn
for silage is after the ears have fully
developed and the kernels on the ears
have attained their full size and are
well glazed.

Short, but Expressive.

There is an instructive and divert
ing article in The Pail Mall Magazine
on the subject of the sayings of witty
lawyers, but strangely enough the
collection of anecdotes does not con-
tain the witty reply of an English
lawyer named Adam to letter from
brother barrister named Eve. 1t is
the custom in England for barrister,
when he applies to the lord chancel-
lor for leave to don silk to write to
men of his won standing at the bar in
order courteously to inform them OF
the fact. Among Mr. Ewes contempor-
aries, when he took silk, was a Mr..
Adam; and in reply to the official cir
cular this gentleman wrote as follows:
Dear Eve-Whether you wear silk
gown or a figleaf, l don't care

Looks Into Man.

Nj. Eykmann, a member of the
Royal Academy of Amsterdam, has
discovered a novel method by means
of which it is possible, through the
use of Roentgen rays, to obtain an
exact photograph of any interior part
of the body even while the organs in
that part are actively at work.
In this way one can obtain a
thorough knowledge of the move
ments of the heart, the stomach and
the intestines.
M. Eykmann has devoted his
principal attention to the movements
necessitated by the act of swallow
ing, and experts say that his investi-
cations throw an entirely new light
on the mechanism of this act. which
is so simple, but which no anatomist
has heretofore been able TO explain
clearly.

One Phase of the Race Problem.

The colored editor of the Richmond
(Va) Planet sums up the political and
legal status of his race in concise and
pungent style in saying: when we
present petitions to congress and pray
for relief, we are told to go to the
courts. because legal questions are in
volved. When we go to the courts
we are told to go to congress for re-
lief. because it is political question.
When congress grants any of the re-
lief prayed for and the southern white
folks take it to the courts, the courts
decide that the act of congress is I'M

barton, will cross the English channel
from Dover to Calias in forty-fve min
utes. She is $40 feet long and forty
feet wide. Her chief feature is a very
large promenade deck and the absence
of the usual bulky machinery gives her
unusual cabin room. She has FIVE
