Hucssencr, who has, just been condemned
to two years and seven days confinement
in fortress for stabbIng to death sol
der without provocatlon.
The Attorney-General demanded that the
sentence should be made one of six years
detention. but the court took a lenient
view of the case. At the first trial Hues-
serler was condemned to four years con-
fnement and degrade ton. and the still
milder sentence now imposed is sure to
create strong feeling of resentment in
civilian circles since confinement In a
fortress is no disgrace. and the prisoner

The time which has elapsed since the
crime will, moreover. be deducted from

A Stock Pea Experience.

The summer of 1901 being very dry,
went to considerable expense to plant
a field of corn to peas-a row of peas
between each row OF corn A portion
Of the field had no peas planted on it,
the seed giving out before we got done.
This was the richest land, TOO. Well,
the vines made, | thought, rather poor
growth, owing to the dry weather. That
fall the corn was cut of, the land har-
rowed with an oldfashioned harrow, and
drilled in wheat early in October A
neighbor put crop of wheat 10 field
of much about the same manner, except
no pers we're planted on it, but sowu
earlier, and making much larger
growth early in the season than mine
did. But as the season adva1 ced the
superiority OF the wheat where the peas
had been became apparent in the much
longer, fuller heads, and higher color
Of plant AT threshing time, this olo
field astouished all by giving "a bushels
per acre. nearly twice as much as my
neighbors. might add that the peas
were pastured off Two quarts of timo.
thy seed to the acre were sowed on at
time of sowing the wheat, but never
made much OF showing. The same
of clover seed. sowed in the spring Of
1902, did better, and of clover and timo-
thy together there was most beautiful
stand. Still, the land that grew the
peas in 1901 shows the benefit yet, in
much larger and earlier growth Of both
clover and timothy. Last year the ex-
pertinent was repeated on poor portion
Of field, part being cut for hay and
the remainder pastured. This land was
in most beautiful condition for sowing
wheat last fall. The crop wintered we'll,
showing brighter shade Of green all
the time, than the rest Of she field, but
other wise not much different from the
rest. Yet if | can succeed 10 making
as good yield on this poor land with
peas, as on the good land without, |

peas.-D b. Thomas, in the Epitomist

When a Queen Bee is Lost.

1t is very important to be able t.
learn at once WHOM a queen is lost dur.
ing early summer The loss of queen
from hive, even for a single day, will
make marked difference in the strength
Of the colony, for good queen will lay
from 1000 to 5000 eggs in day at this
season. Whatever you do be careful
and not drop the queen of the combs
when handling them at this time OF year,
and do not interfere with her work by
changing combs about to expose brood.
By a little attention you may be able
to detect queenless hive by the man
ner in which the bees act on the outside.
When they stand around in care-for-
nothing manner and no bees going In
with pollen, it would be we'll to open
the hive and take look a, them. If
you find eggs and worker brood you
may be quite sure the queen is there; ii
not, 60 ahead aud find out if there is no
queen. Finding none proceed at once
u take frame OF brood from another
hive and watch if they start queen cells
in about "a hours. If not, then they
have been some time queenless. and il
such is the case, give them a queen il
possible.-Geo. II Townsend, in New
England Homestead.

Weight is the main object of the
farmer in fattening stock for market,
and this weight is easiest obtained by
feeding corn in order to produce fat
Farmers have long been taught by ex
perience that fat is a desirable quality
and that it adds to the attractiveness Of
q carcass on the stall. It has been
demonstrated at the experiment sta
tons. however, that the weight can be
secured at less cost, with greater pro-
portion Of lean interpreted with the fat,
by feeding heterogeneous ration, which
means that in addition to liberal sup
ply Of corn, an animal should receive
variety Of food that is not SO rich in oil,
starch and sugar as corn. This fact is
worthy of consideration.

CARE OF FARM HARNESSES,

Farmers are accused of neglectinl
most things about them, and of suffer
ing their property to fall into deca,
for want of proper attention, at least b,
those who fancy they know the farmer
business better than he does himself
but some of the things he really doe
neglect are bis harnesses and cart gear,
that are in everyday use. Farm bar
nesses are often hung in the stable be-
hind the horses, and this is bad, becaus,
ammonia exercises a most DAMAGING
effect on leather. Not only is no effor,
made to preserve the leather, but it il
very rare that any examination is mad
OF the harness to see if any portion Of it
is weak, needs repair or is likely +,
break. Generally the breakdown comel
when there are no means near at hano
Of repairing. This is not purely agri.
cultural "luck"-it happens to Other
users Of horses who do not regularl,
look to the soundness of their harness
With the greatest care there is Away,
the liability to have harness bre,k when
drawing heavy loads or working il
rough ground, but it is not 30 great a.
when the harness is neglected. 1t is
especially bad policy to use harness thai
Is not of the strongest for colts. If an y.
thing breaks the animal gets frightened
there is very often a bad accident, ano
when colt gets out Of harness it often
leaves very lasting impression. "Waz
to receive and ma BILE to retain" admir-
ably expresses the mental condition o,
the horse, especially where accidents
and public houses are concerned. To
prevent the leather of a harness from
perishing or drying up so as to crack, il
should be occasionally treated with
heats foot oil, or with the black har.
ness oil sold by saddlers and others for
dressing this class Of gear. Harnesses
need washing quite as much as they dc
oiling, for they become encrusted with
dry sweat, and the dust that is continu.
ally settling on them absorbs the oil
that is in them and thus dries the
leather 50 that it cracks, letting in the
water every time it is out in the rain
so that it becomes rotten. harnesse,
should be frequently taken to pieces and
well washed, and, when nearly dry, vel
rubbed with wooden rag dipped in the
oil selected. No more oil should be pu
on than will be absorbed or dry in, 81
that when the leather is rubbed with a
dry cloth it will be perfectly clean
Harness that is properly cared for will
last twice as long as that which is neg.
lected, never washed, never oiled anC
only cleaned at holiday times. -Ameri

There is no man in America whose

with that of Hon. w. F. Cody, Buffalo
Bill. The years he spent amongst the
different tribes as an invaluable repre-
sentative and counselor of the nited
States government gave him famil-
iarity with their capabilities, skill,
habits and customs which makes him
the greatest living authority on an

this wonderful knowledge what does
Buffalo Bill do when taken sick ? Does
ne consult some high priced practl-
TONER? Does he take some deadly

what the humblest man can do as
