The Weather.

The rainy weather of yesterday con-
tinued throughout the night, and at
times the downpour was heavy. The tenn
perature was mild and the snow and ice
was eliminated from the streets and
pavements. 10 some cases sewers be-
came cacged and parts of intersections
of streets we're in consequence flooded.
A steam fire engi1e was engaged TO-
day in pumping out certain sewers.
The congestion was relieved this morn
ing when the water ran OIL Inc
weather during the early part of today
was still rainy and threatening. The
wind, however, had changed to the north
west aud there were indications OF a
cleanup. The sun attempted to emerge
from the clouds, but later gloomy con-
ditions followed with splits of snow.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

There has been much said in your
valuable paper of late about the feed
value of sugar cane or sorghum, and
there cannot be too much said in be-
half Of it, for it is splendid feed,
We are feeding some of it now, and
the stock all relish it; some of the cows
will quit eating their bran or good mil
let hay to eat the came fodder; they
eat the stalks all up and so there is
no waste in feeding it, and the colts
will eat it in preference to any other
feed.
AS to the curing Of it, the best way
is to so through and cut about half
the shock; let them cure few days
and then finish the shocks; or cut and
set in small shocks and reshock in a
few days, by putting two or three
shocks together until it is well cured.
But we prefer the first method, as it
saves handling. AS soon as it is thor
Oughly cured we tie in small bundles
and store in the barn. We intend run
ming some of it through the cutting
box and making chop feed. 1t is fine
for any kind of stock, and we want to
plant more of it another ycar.-Mrs. c.

cooseberries and currants.

The Downing gooseberry pays me
well for market, being hardy and pro
life. Taking one season with another,
an acre of gooseberries sells for about
$500. Among currants, the Fay is
superior variety-large, prolific and a
good keeper.-John w. Page.
Currants are easily grown, not re
ouiring especially good cultivation,
and doing well even in the shade Of
orchard trees, but good care and
plenty of fertilizer will pay. My fav-
orlte variety is the Red Crosse. E.
Laurence.
Gooseberrios are a profitable crop
with me, selling at about $1.50 per
bushel wholesale. Currants also pay
well. bringing an average Of $3.50 per
bushel. Both fruits are subject to at
tacks of the currant worm, which
strips the foliage, but we fight them
successfully by using a tablespoonful
of paris green to quart Of slaked
lime sifted on the plants while the
dew is on and repeating the opera
tion each week during the early part
of the season. l grow the Houghton
gooseberry and the Red, Dutch, Vic
toria and Fay currants. The cherry
currant with me is not productive
enough.-J. 3. Johnston, in American

FOOD IN SERMONS.
Feed the Dominic Right nnd the Sermons
Are brilliant.

4 conscientious. hard-working and
cminently successful clergyman writes:
Il am glad to bear testimony to the
pleasure and increased measure of
efficiency and health that have come to
me from adopting Grdpe-Nuts food as
one Of my articles of diet.
For several years ] was much dis
tressed during the carly Fart of each
day by indigestion. Ny breakfast,
usually consisting of oatmeal, milk and
eggs seemed to turn sour ard failed
to digest. After dinner the headache
anJ other symptoms following the
breakfast would wear away, only TO re-
turn. however, next morning.
Having heard of Grape-Nuts food, l
finally concluded to give it a fair trial.
l quit the use Of oatmeal and eggs, and
made my breakfasts of Grape-Nuts,
cream, toast and Postum. The result
was surprising in improved health and
total absence of the distress that had,
for so long time, followed the morn-
ing meal. Ny digestion became
once more satisfactory the headaches
ceased, and the old feeling of energy
returned. Since that time, four years
ago, l have always had Grapr-Nuts
food on my breakfast table.
Il was delighted to fGd also, that
whereas before l began to use Grape
Nuts food was quite nervous and be-
came easily wearied in the work of
preparing sermons and in study,
marked Improvement IN this respect re-
suited from the change in my diet.
am convinced that Grape-Nuts food
produced this result and Helped me to a
sturdy condition Of mental and physical

MusLSmeIon Culture.

Last season we had very good sue,
cess in growing muskmelons, both for
home use and for market. The
ground, black loan, was plowed
rather early and put in good condi.
tion by the use of the drag and har-
row. In the spring a generous appli,
cation of barnyard manure was spread
upon the ground and turned under.
AS soon as the danger of frost was
over we planted the seeds in hills, in
rows about IL feet apart, and the
hills about seven feet in the rows. AS
soon as they were through the ground
we went over the plants with salt
petre water, to help drive the little
striped bugs away. ! taink it acted
as a fertilizer, for the plants made a
very rapid growth afterwards. After
an interval of a few days, a second
application was made. We used o
large tablespoonful to bucket of
water.
The plants received frequent cult
yation until they commenced vining
and setting melons. The patch was
Kept free from weeds and the hills
thlnned, leaving only the strongest
plants.

nrv Eeed for Chicks.

One of the best possible rations for
a chick, whether reared under hen or
in brooder, is what we call dry ration.
1t is the nearest approach to the nat
ural diet Of a fowl possible to attain.
This method calls for all dry food,
such as rolled wheat and oats, small
broken corn, rice or grain OF any
kind, small seeds and beef scraps
mixed; to this should be added small
grit of some kind. The beef scrap
should be Of good quality, that has
been properly prepared and nicely
ground. This kind of food can be
greatly improved by the addition of
some well-broken peas ana beans, and
a little properly prepared clover. Tne
peas, beans and clover furnish the
vegetable and grae1 food, the, rest
the grain seed and the animal portion
OF their diet, giving them a most per-
fectly balanced ration. Should it be
preferred to add TO this mixed food,
it should be thoroughly scalded. If
cooked or baked so much the better,
for this takes away the unnauralness
of the food. But little trouble from
feeding is experienced when this
method is followed.-N. G. Temple, in
