Got the Oysters.

A captain of a Massachusetts regi-
time of the Civil War, was noted for
his love of good things to eat, and one
day despatched one Of his soldiers, a
man named Bailey, to Alexandria to
get some fresh oysters, giving him
instructions not to return without
them. The man started. and no more
was seen of him for nine days. The
Washington Times prints the story Of
his return:
After a lapse Of nine days Bailey
came into camp, leading a train of four
horse wagons loaded with oysters. APP
preaching and respectfully saluting the
amazed captain, Bailey said:
Here are your oysters, captain.
Couldn't find any in Alexandra, so
chartered a schooner and made a voy-
age to Fortress Monroe and Norfolk
for them. There are about two hun.
bred bushels. Where do you want
'em? 2"
Bailey did really make the trip, hired
his men, and sold oysters enough in
Georgetown before reporting" to pay
all expenses and leave him a profit OF
about one hundred dollars. The two
hundred bushels were divided among
the members Of the regiment and Bailey
returned to his duty.

Corn ensilage and sugar beets were
tested at the Nebraska station as to
their value as succulent feed when
vided into two lots, the same as in the
experiment for testing alfalfa and wild
hay. The results shown by this expe-
riment were a little in favor of ensilage,
but the difference was very slight. 1t
seems to be more a question Of how
cheaply the two succulent feeds are
produced than of their feeding value.
Both foods gave good results and we've
rellshed by the animals.

be made as wide as required by law.

they are little, when drowning would
be pleasure to them, and are then sent

for themselves, and finally to die vio-

To Train Grape Vines.

1t may be said that there are dozen
systems Of grape vine training in use,
all of which have their good qualities
and each, perhaps, superior to all 9TH
ers under certain conditions. The sys-
TEN of training from a single upright
growth is, however, admitted to be
after the most approved lines, and it
certainly gives results. The illustration
shows how the vine is trained In its
first year 1t is cut back to two strong
buds at the time Of planting and is
set so that the buds will be just above

Agricultural Notes.

Eggplant is a gross feeder, but easily
cultivated.
Interest in the apple box grows apace
in the east.
Bone black is said to be good fertil-
izer for parsnips.
Give good, thorough cultivation be-
tween the rows of strawberries.
Beets will stand considerable cold
weather and may be planted early.
In a cold frame or sprout hotbed is
a good place to start lima beans on
sods.
1t has been demonstrated conclusive
ly that when an animal is fed on a
variety, instead of on corn exclusively,
a greater gain in weight is secured.
Corn will excel in the production of
fat, but bone and lean meat sell in
the live animal as well as fat, rapid
growth being a gain in weight.

Small Farms to BE the Rule.

In the future small farms will be the
rule. More and better products will be
raised on GO acres than are now on 120
acres. There are farmers to-day who
plant a 40-acre field in corn who could
take the same amount Of manure they
used and put it on a 20-acre field, and
get a greater yield and of better quail
ity. Besides this, it will take only half
the time to pillow and cultivate the 20
acre field, which would further add to
the profits. What a lesson the market
gardeners are constantly giving to us
farmers. Why. some of them use more
barnyard manure on 20 acres than
some farmers do on 100 acres. The
crops the gardeners get are enormous,
and their land is constantly increasing
in fertility.

MAKES ONES HEAD WHIRL
People Frequently Meet Death as a
Result of Height Dizziness.

The theory that fatal height dir
Ziness" might explain the leap of Mr..
Openhym from High Bridge has some
claim for consideration. In one form
or another this nervous condition is
manifested in a goodly number of in
dividuals and in exaggerated instances
is accompanied with an almost uncon-
trollable impulse to jump into space.
So strong is this disposition in some
persons that they have settled aver
sion for high places and purposely
avoid mountains, steeples, bridges and
balloons. The apparent helplessness
of the situation, the horror of a posi-
BILE misstep or loss of balance, and,
worst of ALL an overwhelming sense of
general fear, dominate the feeling of
self-control. and the victim becomes
the veriest coward when otherwise he
Is perfectly safe from accident.
By medical authorities this fear,
when carried to an extreme, is consid-
cred as a distinctly mental disease, and
is akin to the nervousness which some
times seizes people in open places and
to the imaginary danger of being poi
soned or murdered. For the same rea-
son others cannot endure a crowded or
closed room, have unaccountable pref
udices against certain places, must
count houses. signs and persons, avoid
cracks in the sidewalk or make them
selves generally miserable in the susA
picion of accidental disease contami-
nation.
All these are different forms of
neurasthenia or nerve exhaustion, and
must be combated In their inception,
else the individual becomes in the end
more or less of a mental wreck. The
force of will may effect much toward
cure, but its exercise can hardly be
trusted at first In high and dangerous
situations. Especially is this the case
when the individual is alone and feels
that his only reliance for safety is in
himself. The shock of the fright may
then be overwhelming, amounting tC
temporary insanity and an uncon
trollable suicidal impulse. In the alb
sence of reasonable motive for self-de
struction such qualifying conditions Of
action must always be taken into &C
count.

Bees carry pollen from one flower to

Of whom keep bees for pleasure rather

fruit trees that blossom out full would

Such crops as squash, cucumbers and
melons should have all fertilizers APP

will also give good results If worked

Connecting Paatrr res by Causeway.
1t frequently becomes desirable to
have the pasture so arranged as to
let stock pasture on both sides of a
highway. The pasture is sometimes
located on one side Of the highway
and yard and watering place on the
other. Much time is required to drive
cattle back and forth.

stake Is pressed into the ground near
the vine and the vine is fastened to

the trellis Is built during this first year
this cord is run to the first wire 0he
top one) and fastened. The vine will
make the growth about as shown in the
cut during this first year. The trellis Is
an important feature of the plan. The
posts should be set eight feet apart,
and so that they will stand about six
feet out of the ground. Two wires are
used in the position, as shown In the
cut, the wires being fourteen inches
apart. In training the vine for the
second year cut off all that portion
above the top wire, and as the lateral
canes grow select the strongest opposite
each wire, one on either side of the
main stalk, and train them along the
wires; this gives us two arms, so to
speak, running along each wire at the
end of the second year from planting.
The third season the fruiting buds
must be handled, and 1t is a good plan
to select every other bud to supply the
canes necessary for the upright growth
from the arms. This upright growth
is shortened In from time to time dur
ing the growing season, so as to throw
the strength into the fruiting canes,
This system of training requires labor,
but 1t gives most excellent results.
