The Empress Of Japan.

From the Chicago News.
The empress of Japan is Il noble and
Inspiring character. Her am is Ha-
ruko, and she is the daughter of Il
noble of the highest rank. She is two
years older than the mikado. Her mar
riage took place in 1868. A further indi-
cation of the sacredness in which the
imperial ~personages are held is shown
by the incident which occurred when
it was determined that the court ladies
should adopt European dress. AT this
time. great difficulty was experienced in
getting clothes to fit her royal high
ness. The profane hands of a dress
maker could not be allowed to touch
the parsonage of the empress, so a
court lady had to pose as a model un-
til the garments were gradually made

o DRIVING HOGS.

This is another idea which the one-man

convince any man of the difficulty in

hurdle described will help wonderfully in
this work. Use Stats of one by three

half feet high and about four feet long.
Make II of light weight material so that
it may be easily handled. In either end

placed so that the hurdle may be attached

TREATING SEED FOR SMUT.

AS forma!m Is now used by growers OF
wheat and oats 1t is possible to almost
entirely eradicate the germs of the smut
which has caused so much trouble in
years past. twenty-five gallons OF forma-
lin are used TO each 100 bushels of seed SO
that the cost for Treatment, aside FROM
the labor, Is very small. The method OF
treating the seed is to select an absolute
ly clean place on the floor seeing that the
floor is free from cracks through which
the grain may be lost. Spread out the seed
in a thin layer, place the formalin solu-
ton i'll Il sprinkling pot and sprinkle the
seed in a pile and cover 1t With old bags
letting 1t remain for several hours when
it may be spread out and dried and sown
when desired. For the loose smut on
wheat place the seed in a bag and immcrse
I in cold water for five hours. Then drain
the water from the bag and let 1t remain
for four hours and then immense, still in
the bag, in water 1873 degrees and let it
remain for five minutes. Use a thermom-
cter so that the water will be at just the
right temperature. Then spread the seed
out on the floor to dry and SOW 1t when
thoroughly dried.

UTILIZING WEAR OLD HENS.

While it is a good plan to depend most
largely upon the pullets for eggs during
the coming winter the year old hens will
be laying in good shape but 1t is not a
good plan to push these birds too hard
provided they are of good breed and have
a good record as egg producers. Let them
lay well, of course, and feed them properly
but plan for them to produce their best
eggs at breeding season. being sure to
mate them VI with the best male obtain
able. The Eggs from these year old hens,
II they are the right sort of hens. will
turn out better chicks than the eggs from
the pullets. Another point just here. If
you are not In a position to use incubators
the coming season 1t will pay to get to-
gether a few year or two year old hens
of the larger mixture to use as in~cubators.
Never mind if they are not purebreds, If
they are large and broody they will make
ideal mothers set on high grade eggs and
will be worth their keep for this purpose
