BASEBALL OF ANCIENT ORIGIN.

Baseball is really OF very ancient
origin. The Bible tells us that Satan
was a hot number on the coaching
line. He coached Eve when she stole
first and Adam when he stole second.
Rebekah went to the we'll with a pitch
er. Samson struck out a good many
times when he beat the Philistines,
and Moses made run when he saw
the Egyptians. Cain made a base hit
when he slew Abel. Abraham made a
sacrifice The prodigal son made a
home run. David was long distance
thrower. Moses shut out the Egyp-
tians at the Red sea. But nowhere in
the pages of Holy Writ do we find
mention of the huge-mouthed, leather
lunged idiot who brays and he-haws
all over the grand stand when his
side is winning.

How Fruit Men co-operate.

Cooperation in. fruit selling has reached an advanced stage in the Mich- igan apple belt. For instance. in the case of the Fruit Growers Association of Ludington, the stock amounts to five hundred shares. and each subscriber must take at least one share for five acres of orchard. The company owns d large packing house. with side track on one side and a wagon drive on the other. There is a wide veranda on both sides, enclosed with slatS. Six roller grades, which separate the fruit into three sizes, are used. Baskets are stored in the second story, and drop down through chutes to the packing tables. which are covered with canvas. Whom the fruit Is delivered. each man receives credit for the proper number of bushels of the given varieties. The fruit is then graded and packed, and each person receives his share of the proceeds when the fruit is sold The secretary of the company looks after the buying and selling, and has charge of the packing house. In this way a uniform product is secured which large buyers can depend upon, and the mid dleman and his exactions are excluded. Massachusetts PlouShman.

Selling Produce by Mail.

It Is not hard for farmer to work up an interest by advertising q dcsir- able article in the right way and through the right means. But half the battle is in properly answering the in quiries received. By lack of prompt ness, Clearness. uenuiteIlcss aud test some letter writers will drive away possible customers about as fast as good advertising brings them in. Use a typewriter which can be bought second hand for a few dollars; answer letters the same day received; by next mail if possible. The first satisfactory reply that reaches the buyer is likely to get his order, and in making the reply satisfactory everything counts. Inclose a sample or picture of what is being sold. if expedient, and try to fix his choice on definite article or specimen at an attractive stated price, judging what he wants from his letter. It is this tact in adapting the reply to the prospective customer which counts as much as anything in securing or ders. His confidence is to be secured, his questions and scruples clearly and tactfully met. and his magination aroused over some special and definite offer.-American Cultivator.

Agriculture in Country Schools.

Tn country SChOOlss
 Enough spasmodic theorization on teaching practical agriculture and es- thetic nature study in country districts has been expended to pay off the na- tional debt, says the Rural World. Let us pass Into the next stage of the argu- ment and get down to ways and means. If our children are to receive elementary instruction in chemistry, soil physics. vegetable biology, botany and all the rest of the list, 1t follows that some one must teach them. How many are really capable of teaching anything beyond the "a. b. abs" with their hands tied behind them? It Is not enough that a teacher may call up the class in geography and perfume torlly conduct a recitation with her eyes glued to the book. A teacher should inspire pupils with the love or study. He should make the recita- ton interesting. All this applies not only to the teachings of agriculture but to all branches taught in the coun- try school, and serves to emphasize the need of adopting the central or township school system. It is very difficult for any teacher to develop the proper interest and enthusiasm in the work of any branch of study with only an attendance of two or three pupils. On the other hand, 1t is great waste to employ good teachers for only two or three students when they can better instruct several times that number. Under the present sys- where the number of pupils is no larger than the above. When the cen tralized plan Is adopted it will be pos sible with the same outlay to supply much better class of instruction in all branches and with 94 per cent of the schools eliminated we believe it would be possible to obtain an instructor for each of the remainder that would be competent to give instruction in the elementary principles of agriculture. We believe our agricultural colleges have the capacity to turn out such in structors as fast as they would be wanted for such positions; and, as in all other things. whenever a demand is created the supply will be forthcom- ing. The instruction may be crude at the start, as are most new enterprises; but everything must have beginning and strength is gained by growth and experience. Some of the European countries have been going ahead of us in putting these things into practice. For example, in the rural districts of Sweden a garden is attached to every school. and the children receive prac- tical instruction in the cultivation of flowers, fruits and vegetables. and in the management of hot beds, green houses and so forth.

How to Grind h n fir Corn.

thought it might be of interest to many of your readers to know how to grind katfir corn, as most sweep mills will not grind it fine, and the millers want too much for grinding 1t. If the burr is quite worn, so much the better. Have the Kaffir corn dry, put bas- ketful into good, solid barrel, chop with a long-handled, sharp spade; add some more heads and chop. and so on. Fill your mill and continue to chop and grind. You can have it fine as flour if you like. and it makes fine swill to feed thick or thin. The Kaf- fir corn stem keeps the seed from feed ing too fast and it grinds nicely, but not so fast as corn. probably about five bushels per hour. This depends on how fine you grind it.-C. J. Hug gins, in Kansas Farmer.

Revelations of the Seed Tester.

In test of five hundred varieties of lettuce by the United States Depart ment of Agriculture, it was found that 132 of them were BlackSeeded Tennis Ball under other names. A sample of crimson clover seed, costing S5.l5 per bushel, contained so little live seed that S104 worth would contain only a bushel of good seed. Some Kentuck. Bluegrass was so poor that pound of live seed would have cost S2. IS, and a sample of timothy tested at the rate of $47 per bushel for the live seed Some of the seeds sprouted well enough, but the plants were of the wrong kind Thus a sample of alleged clover seed contained 33S000 weed seeds in a pound, or at the rate of twenty million per bushel. Such re- suits explain the cause of some mys- terious crop failures and equally strange invasions of new weeds.

Color In the ArcticS.

The leading color pictures in the February Centhry-the most novel and curious in subject of any that magazine has yet published are from interest ing and beautiful studies of the aurora borealis made by Frank Wilbert Stokes while in the Arctic in the fall of 1892, and are richly worthy the subject They reproduce in print tor the first time in popular magazine the wonder ful effects of the aurora. MT. Stokes, probably the first real co!orist to visit the Arctic regions, was with the Peary and relief expeditions on the Kite when he was privileged to zee some color dis plays worth all the dangers and priva tions of the trip. His word painting is as vivid and interesting as his color work.

compens sations of Pastors.

From an open letter in ths February Century
 In the ministry, service and salary are not equal terms. The high office was not created for the advantage of the holder, and the calling is degraded into mere profession when it is made the subject of money equivalents. The work of the ministry is more especially in the realm of the moral and spiritual, |, and therefore can never be Financial ly compensated in any exhaustive com mercial sense" Nevertheless, the minister lapted by conduct and learn- ing to his high calling ordinarily does have, and should have, slaary propor- tiona'e to the demands of the field he is tiIling, and compensations far more sati. flying and worthy of consideration than salaries.

Food for Fattening Fowls.

Always fatten fowl as quickly as possible. Ten days is long enough to get fowl fat, and it should be con fined either in a coop or number in a small yard. Give plenty of fresh water. and feed four times a day, be- ginning early and giving the last meal late. A mixture of corn meal, three parts, ground oats, one part, shorts, one part, crude tallow. one part. scala ed. is the best for the first three meals. with all the corn and wheat that can be eaten up clean at night. Weigh the articles given, and do not feed by measure.

Sugar in Gpeen Fodder.

The sugar in the green fodder is practically all destroyed in the silo. and since 1t is most abundant in the corn plant in the early stages of ear development it is an additional argu- ment for postponing cutting until the grain is full size and the sugars have changed largely to starch. The amount of seed per acre affects the yield of green fodder and also its composition. A medium stand is essential for the best results ir both quantity and quail itv

When filling an ice house. place a layer of sawdust fully a foot deep upon the bottom, then put in the ice, pack ing it closely to within a foot of the side walls, cutting the blocks carefully and evenly to make the mass solid and compact. A twelve-inch space should be allowed. and the sides should be filled with sawdust. Do not fill nearer than three or four feet of the roof, and put about six inches of the sawdust on top of the ice. If sawdust cannot be had. chopped straw, wheat chaff. or marsh hay can be used. but sawdnst is the best material.-New England Farmer.
