ln-Breedlna Of Poultry.

In time our experiment stations viii
doubtless take up the question Of In.
breeding and conduct series Of expert.
ments to determine Just what its ef.
fects are on birds. 1t is not necessar.
lily fact that what Is true Of one kind
of animal life is true Of every other
kind. though 1t may be- 20. It is
probably safest not to do much In
breeding. But on the other hand, there
are large breeders that claim that in.
breeding does not result In the de.
terioration OF the flock, if care is taken
In selecting the most vigorous breed
ers. One man claims that he actually
inbred for vigor and Increased the
yigor OF bis dock IL that way. Ii.
breeding Is generally reputed to affect
the vigor Of ~ dock frst Of all. Il nv
sof our readers have tried experiments
along this line We would like toS hear

CHAPTER w.

At last, the outbreak of the war fur
nished the long-desired opportunity for
an open breach. Harrison imposed
conditions which he knew the young
officer would never accept and, on his
refusal. withdrew his promise. In this
way he had semblance of justice on
his side, and Roland's refusal was de-
scribed under the most hateful colors.
Florence was neither energetic nor in
dependent. She had been brave so
long as William stood at her side and
she was sure of his love and protec-
Hon. Alone she was unable to contend
With her father and Edward, and now
and Edwards passionate entreaties,
Tor the latter was determined to secure
her hand at any cost At last, sup
posing herself deserted by the man she
loved, she yielded to these creatures
and gave up her resistance.
The young girl was suddenly startled
from her reverie by broad, bright bar
-0f sunshine. The blinds of the glass
doors leading out upon the terrace had
been opened, and man appeared, in
X light summer suit, with broad
trimmed straw hat pulled so low over
LII brow that his features could

Great Bells.

In the manufacture of great bells
Russia has always taken the lead.
The Giant" which was cast in Mos
COW in the sixteenth century, weighed
2SS,O00 pounds, and it required TWEEN
ty-four men to ring it. 1t was broken
by falling from its support, but was
recast in 1854. On June 10, 17O6, 1t
again fell, and in 1892 the fragments
were used, with new materials, in cast
ing the King of Bells" still to be
seen In Moscow. This bell is nine
teen feet three inches high, measures
around the margin sixty feet nine
inches, weighs about 443,732 pounds,
and its estimated value in metal alone,
is at least 100000. st. Ivan's bell,
also in Moscow, is forty feet nine
inches in circumference, sixteen and
a half inches thick, and weighs 127,-
$50 pounds. The bells of China rank
next to those of Russia in size. In
Pekin there are seven bells, each is
said to weigh 100000 pounds. The
weight of the leading great bells of the
world are as follows: "Great Bell OF
Moscow" 443,732 pounds; st. Ivan's,
Moscow, 1880 pounds; Pekin, 12O,-
900 pounds; Vienna. 4O,2OO pounds;
Olnutz, Bohemia, 10000 pounds; Rou-
en-, France. 10000 pounds; St. Paul's,
London, 3S.470 pounds; big Ben
Westminster, 30,350 pounds; Montreal,
2S,56o pounds; st. Peters Rome.

father, who had long intended to wed
her to his nephew and would hear of no
other marriage. He considered the
young officer who had won his daugh
ter's love as an insolent intruder, who
was destroying the peace of his house
hold; and the political opinions of the
two men, which were strongly opposed
to each other, also threatened danger.
Nevertheless, for the time, Mr.. Har-
ffsoL. conquered by the tears and en-
treaties of his only child, yielded,
though with reluctance; Edward, who
had just returned from long jour-
'aey, found himself confronted with
tact against which his fierce jealousy
Was powerless. But he knew how to
.maintain his influence over his uncle,
and never ceased to stimulate his aver
sion to the son-in-law who had been
forced upon him.

Thrashins Broom Corn.

The removing of the seeds from
the brush is variously termed seed
ing, scraping, or thrashing. This rs
accomplished by bringing the heads
in contact with rapidly revolving
cylinder the surface of which. is set
with. teeth or spikes. A thrasher of
the kind now in general use in sec.
tons growing much broom corn costs
from $3.50 to 5000. Such a machine
with eighteen to twenty men to keep
1T running steadily, can clean the

Fatten Separately.

The time of year is at hand when
the surplus poultry is to be fattened
for market. The usual way on the
farm is to begin to feed corn to all
the flock, regardless of whether they
are to be kept for egg laying or are
to be marketed. The hens that are
to be marketed. also the young cock
erels. should be separated from the
rest of the flock and fed by them.

do not need large ration Of corn.
This is especially true Of old hens.

Sub-Earth Factories.

The farmer is not generally looked
upon as manufacturer. Yet on his
lands and under them, on the roots of
all leguminous plants, there are at
work the microscopic creations that
labor in changing the free nitrogen
of the air into soil nitrates that may
be used by the plants: Every nodule

factory. It may be smaller than a
pea, yet In it are multitudes of the lit

only recently discovered them. Be,
fore he understood that they were the
friends Of man, he regarded these
factories as symptoms of plant dis
eases, and various remedies were in
vented for the cure of the said dis
eases. But later such efforts were
found to be misapplied, and it was
recognized that these same tubercles
were part Of the machinery of Mother
Nature, by which she kept the soil
supplied with the so:readily soluble
forms of nitrogen, which alone can
be- taken up by the roots of plants.
IN the woods and on the prairies there
are numerous forms of .leguminosae,
which help to keep up the balance re-

beggar weeds, the vetches and their
relatives. On all of their roots are
the little nitrogen factories. crowded
with workers. Man is able to assist
these laborers and make it possible
for them to increase their product.
This is a manufacture in which there
is not danger of over production.
