Madrid, Spa n.-An attempt to as

The second carriage of the royal
procession was occupied by the Duke
of Sotomayor, the Grand Chamberlain,
and not by the king himself.
Feito was examined. His bearing
confirmed previous reports that he is
suffering from imonomania. A careful
official inquiry has shown that Feito
is not connected with Anarchists.
King Alfonso Ihas received a host Of
congratulations upon his escape.
When Feito Tired at the carriage of
the Duke of ySotomayor the Queen
Mother and the Infanta were very
much alarmed The King was very
cool, however, and inquired If any one
had been hurt.I After being informed
to the contrary he chatted with the
Civil Governor who walked alongside

the details of t be outrage.
Upon arriving at the palace the King
Immediately repaired to a balcony to

Care of the Poultry.

At this season of the year great care
is needed to keep birds comfortable,
especially on cold nights. If buildings
are not extra warm. the best way is to
place the roosts in a corner OF the
room and put up a partition around
them, leaving a door in front, or hang
up an old carpet to let down after
they go on the roost. Their bodies
will warm the space they occupy ard
prevent frosted combs, which most
often happens at night. while the birds
are quiet. Be sure none are left out
side the roosting place. During Sc
we're weather keep doors and windows
closed tight and ventilators shut. Birds
do not need any outside air in zero
weather. Study how to keep the air
out, and not how to let it in. On
warm days give them plenty Of air on
the opposite side Of the building from
that on which the wind blows. When
9 bird has taken cold and makes a
noise resembling a crow, give a little
kerosene oil from a small oil can, SO
AZ not to aus strangling. One dose
usually is sufficient, as In a few hours
the noise will cease. If the case is
severe give two two-grain quinine
pills, and, IL needed. give two grains
at night and In the morning until
better. Epson salts in water is also
good, a te%aspoonful at a dose, once.
This is also good for roup.
When birds have lice, you will usual
" find them in the fun more than
under the wings. Rub with insect
powder down to the skin, and 1t will
kill the lice. Put plenty OF kerosene
Oil on the perches, both upper and
under sides. especially the latter, as
that will kin the red mites that go on
the birds at night, but do not live on
them during the day. For scaly leg
put kerosene oil on the legs. If a very
bad case, mix with a little fresh grease;
otherwise use clear. Two or three APP
plications a week will work wonders
in a short time. In case a bird be-
comes ruptured, use a soft cloth and
replace the parts, washing the parts
in strong alum water, giving also a
few drops Of laudanum or something
OF that quieting nature. Place the bird
in a low coop to prevent flying or ex-
ertion. Wash the parts affected sew
eral times if necessary, and keep the
bird quiet, and if the rupture has not
been caused very long the bird will be
all right in a short time, unless q bad
case.-Mr. and Mrs. s. Rider, in New

There are plenty Of farmers who do
not believe in or practice green man.
uring. They think it a better and
more profitable plan to harvest a crop.
whatever it is, and feed it to animals.
They also hold that the process Of
soil amelioration by this means is too
slow, and takes altogether too long.
These and other objections to green
manuring are plausible and rather hard
to refute. Still the fact remains that
favorable results are often obtained
by blowing under green crops. Some
times a farmer has land that is de-
~teriorating under annual cropping,
and he cannot well put it in a condi-
ton to return a profitable cultivated
and harvested crop. He may have
used all available homemade manure,
and it may not be convenient to pur-
chase concentrated fertilizers.
In such a case, rather than let the
land go fallow, he may find it to his
interest to cover it with some crop
on purpose to plow it under. One adj
vantage of this course is its extreme
cheapness. 1t costs the farmer practi-
cally nothing but the seed, the labor OF
blowing the ground at the time of
sowing, and again when the crop has
made a suitable growth. Something
IS gained by the Improvement of the
mechanical condition Of the soil, by
preventingethe growth Of undesirable
weeds which would otherwise have
taken possession Of the land. and by
Increasing soil fertility to some extent.
The addition Of humus by the decay
of the crop is in some soils of great
Importance. The argument that no
fertility is added to the soil by simply
returning the crop that grew upon it
does not apply to a leguminous crop.
that is able to draw a large part of
its support from the air. If the plan Of
green manuring is not followed under
any other circumstances, it is GER
tain]y advisable to SOW some hardy
crop on the removal Of a harvested
crop. to remain through the winter as
a cover and be plowed down in the
springs. B. Reach, in New York
