PLAsTERING HENHOUsEs.

This is the question some are raising,
and l note that some one says, Yes;
plaster them" l wonder II the man
who says that really ever did plaster
one of his henhouses. If so, there is
one question ! would like to ask him,
and that is, How did you keep the
hens from digging the plaster off and
devouring itT Perhaps the answer
may be that If were to give Erv hens
the right kind of feed, especially of
to do anything further to ensure the
permanency of my walls. l admit
that few Of us are likely TO err on the
side of giving too much grit. Hens
seem to be able 10 take and take profit
ably q large amount of such kind of
feed, but l never yet saw lot of hens
so well supplied with grits that if they
could get at wall of sand and lime,
they would not dig it TO pieces if they
ever got break in it anywhere. The
first crack that appears is the signal
for them to break for it if it is any
where within their reach. II l were to
plaster henhouse, l would certainly
board it up high enough so that the
hens could not reach the wall TO peck
at it, or l would make it of adamant
or some substance that the hens do
not love as they do sand and lime.-E.

Revival 81 Roller Skatinu.

Forty or fifty roller skating rinks
have been built and opened to the
public in New England, New Jersey
and other states within the last year
All are well patronized and their pro-
moters believe that this sport, ne
elected for 20 years, will again become
popular. In the late '70s and early
sos roller skating almost attained the
dignity of a national amusement. No
person was too old or too young to
use the Kinks. The hockey games,
endurance races, and exhibitions of
fancy skating arranged by rink owners
attracted big audiences for four or
five years before the popular appetite
was satisfied.
Then, and almost in a moment,
roller skating fell into disfavor. Only
children clung to it, and on them it
has never lost its hold. This sud-
den loss of popularity was due sim
ply to the fact that the passtime was
worked to death, for although a good
many harsh charges were made by
solemn moralists against it, these
never could have killed it. Now it is
returning, as novelty, with another
generation of pleasure seekers to ap-
peal to, but it is improbable that it
will ever regain the glory 1t once had.
The out-of-doors cult has made great
progress since 1885, and roller skat-
ing is an indoor game.-New York

Influence Of Sainte-Beuve.

Sainte-Beuve is the foremost literary
critic of the nineteenth century in the
influence he has cxerted upon his fell
lows. In very real sense Matthew
Arnold in England and Taine in
France are his disciples-or at least
he is their literary ancestor. They de-
rive from him, and the doctrines they
have made explicit are often implicit
in him. The part of Taines critical
theory which has withstood the test
of time is that which Taine acquitted
from Sainte Beuve; and not o few of
the points which Arnold pressed in
sistently on the attention of all who
read English he took over from his
French precedessor. There are no
real critics of literature of our time,
from Mr.. James in America to M.
Brunetiere in France, who have not
come under lis spell at some period
of their own development and who
have not shdi pened their own vision
by more or less deliberate applca-
tion of the methods of Sainte-Beuve.-

THE AMERICAN GOOSE.
The Ancestors of Our Native Bird-Her
Laying Abilities.

Geese are raised all over the country
and can be bought at the poultry mar
kets; and all of our people who come
from across the water give him the
preference over turkey, at the same
time complaining that much of the
sweetness of flavor is lost in the birds
raised here. The flesh Is white, like
the turkey, and very different from the
dark meat of the duck, and in size the
goose is half way between the other
two birds.
OF the breeds raised in our country,
the African goose is perhaps the most
profitable, giving best and quickest re-
turns for the least amount of labor;
but each of the other varieties has
points to make 1t popular. The Chi
nese goose, If it lay not the golden egg,
at least lays so diligently of the nor
nal kind as to be marvel in the
poultry yard, sixty in year being the
count of some of their best layers.
Then there is the Toulouse, which gives
attention TO weight rather than eggs,
and so successfully that at least one
pair was exhibited with the record Of
sixty pounds between them. For a
good, all-round bird, not given to stunts
In any direction, but easy to raise, lay
ing well, and having eXcellently fav-
Dred flesh, the Canada goose cannot
be matched. Nor must we overlook
those geese OF 10 particular breed, the
descendants of the birds brought over
by the early settlers to America, which,
If they were sufficiently interested

His Simple Secret.

A complaint was made that people
had been travelling on the railroads
without a ticket, and the companies
had a detective employed to discov.
er the offenders. The detective trav.
elled up and down for some days
without discovering the culprit.
At last two men got into his car
who began talking in a whisper and
one gave the other a coin, and they
alighted at the next station; so the
detective, thinking he had got his
clue, followed the man who had given
the coin, and said he understood
they had been talking about travelling
without ticket, and as he (the de-
tective) was a very poor man, he
should be glad to knew how they
managed.
The other eyed him suspiciously.

FEEDING MILK TO POULTRY

FEEDING MILK TO POULTRY.
Farmers who have mo.e or less skim
milk and generous supply of sour
milk can feed both proiltably to laying
hens during the winter. Milk should
be given as other things are fed, with a
view to having as much variety as
possible. While the fowls rarely tire
of the milk, it generally brings the
best results If the preparation of 1t is
somewhat varied. For example: When
the weather is cold, give the birds n
lot of warm milk in the morning, put
ting II in trough.
The next night feed them warm
mash, but mix the bran with milk in
stead of water. This Is an excellent
way to use the sour milk or milk that
is too thick TO feed alone. Another
time cook lot of small potatoes, chop
them fine and mix with the sour milk,
then feed warm-creamed potatoes in
way. One has no idea how laying
hens enjoy such variety and what
decided difference it makes in the egg
production.-Ind News.

In digging the New York subway

built the new sewers of brick. Pres
emily the bricklayers, who were re-.

to kill cat than by choking him with
cream" Concrete work was cheap;
why not build the sewers of concrete? !?
Experiments were unexpectedly sue
cessful. Thereafter concrete was used
almost exclusively-a new kind of
sewer had been evolved, cheaper than
the brick sewer and better. This is

PROGRESS IN KNOWLEDGE.

One of the greatest contributions OF
science to agriculture is the demonstra.
ton of the means through which nitro
gen is fixed in the legumes. Even when
it was determined that the acquisition
of nitrogen was through the agency of
forms inhabiting root nodules of leg
umes, the character of these organ
isms was source of discussion be-
cause of the difference in form from
that common to bacteria in general.
But now their bacterial character is
admitted and farmers are understand
agents for getting the nitrogen, and
that without them on the roots the
legumes have no more power than
other plants to get it. OF course, it is
the reading farmers, the student farm
ers, the book farmers who are learn
ing these things, and the fact that they
have learned them is the great reason
for their getting in advance of their
neighbors who still refuse to study
and learn. In the early days of agri-
Cultural COlieSeS Oue pTeSlueHI VI II
college declared that farming was
merely an art and that it could not
be taught in college. But all the col
leges have come to realize that farm
ing is science that can be taught,
and that the more a farmer learns of
the discoveries of scientists the bet
ter is he prepared to be an expert in
his profession. Farming is no longer
a mere art or trade, but procession
involving more learning than any of
the professions which formerly arro-
gated TO themselves the title of
learned. The chemist may understand
his profession, the biologist his. and
the physicist his, and know nothing
outside of them, but the farmer must
know something of all of these and
more. In no department of human
knowledge has there been a greater
advance in r>odern times than in agri-
culture, the most complex Of all the
sciences.-Practica Farmer.

The total coal production of
the United States is now at
the rate of 100000 tons
per day, and the consumption
of coal BY railroads is equal to 40 per
cent. of this, or 100000 tons per day.
The fuel bill of railroad contributes
about 10 per cent. of the total ex-
pense of operation and 30 to 40 per
cent. Of the total cost of running the
locomotives. A locomotive will con-
sumo on an average $4,000 worth of
coal per annum, and for road hav-
