Winter Thoughts Of a Farm
Manager.
The Progressive Farmer.

The farmers Of this section are
now thinking, and preparing for
this years crops.
The winter, so far, has been
quite wet and damp. Although
has not been so awfully cold,it has
been so wet that 1T has delayed
some winter blowing. l had sew
eral pieces of poor ground lying
idle that | wanted to get broken
good this winter and put to peas
next summer, but | don't think it
is too late yet, although l may
not get it plowed on account of
getting ready for seeding the
main crop, when it does get dry
enough to pIow.
The wheat in this section is
looking very well, but ours was
sowed pretty late and can't be
expected to show up as it would
had 1t been sowu earlier in the
fall. II the weather permits |
think | will top dress some OF our
wheat this spring with nitrate of
soda. What about that?
The oats sOwn are looking very
well also think | will SOW few
bushels this spring, which will
come in very handy for feeding,
even if they do not make much
seed.
The farmers are not interested
in live stock as they should be.
NJ st of them look at the first cost
and then hesitate about buying
good stock. They should look at
both sides and consider the profit
there is in feeding the raw pro.
ducts of the farm and getting
back in the finished state, as fer
tilizers, and there are a good many
fields that need that finished pro-
duct to bring them back to their
fertile state again.

industry. Aithou-A small, if it

HOMAGE PAID TO A BIRD.

sparrow Given = Military Funeral
by spaniards I'm Cuba.
Remarkable was the funeral Of a
sparrow In Cuba which was attended by
no fewer than 5000 soldiers. The story
Of this singular event is both curious
and dramatic. At the commencement Of
the ten years war the Spaniards chose
the sparrow as their emblem, typifying
the courage and pertinacity with which
they intended to prosecute the war,
while they contemptuously spoke of the
enemy-the natives-as cats" One
day In March, 1869, SO runs the story,
a Spanish soldier saw cat pounce
upon a sparrow; he rushed to the res
cue, disabled the cat with a blow from
his rifle and took the dying bird from
Its mouth.
The tragic event was reported to the
general commanding the Spanish forces,
who promptly gave orders that the cat
should be court martialed and that the
sparrow should be inferred with mill
tary honors. All the principal officials
and residents of Cuba we're invited to
the funeral, which the bishop of Solanz
was ordered to conduct. A bier was
prepared and the dead bir was placed

STRANGE CARGOEs.

During a journey from Picking to
Kalgan, In China, the author of Round
About My Picking Garden" was favored
by a most extraordinary sight, which
she describes as follows:
Just as we turned the corner by a
beautiful temple, we came upon great
company of men, carrying what seemed
to me the most unheard-of cargo, each
man two eagles! All, men and eagles
alike, were seated upon the ground
when we first caught sight of them, and
the men said they were taking the
birds into Mongolia to recover their
plumage, and that they were kept In
Picking for the purpose of making eagle
feather fans; but other people told us
afterward that the birds were being
taken to catch hares and other game
for their masters, and possibly also to
catch more eagles. Probably both stories
were correct, and both agreed that the
whole party was to come back in De-
cember. Only one very big eagle was
hooded, and l was able to walk in and
out among them and look at them close.
ly; but when l asked If 1t were safe
to stroke one, the men exclaimed In
horror, "They eat aesh!"
Presently the men got up and went
off, carrying their burdens, about forty
very large eagles and forty smaller
ones. The smaller birds sat each upon
a basket dangling from the mans Shout
der pole. Each basket was apparently
full of something or other, l could not
see what; but the larger eagles sat on
the poles at the other end. and 1t was
amusing to-see them turning round and
balancing themselves and generally set

ting off.
The men seemed not to have the
least anxiety lest these fierce creatures
with their powerful beaks, should each
take a nip out Of the cheek nearest
them as they went along.

Feeding Gluten Meal

Gluten feed Is very valuable In the
dairy; rich In protein and something Of
which the stock are very fond, it can
be profitably used If handled rightly ::
on the other hand there is opportunity
to feed 1t extravagantly as we'll as
to feed SO much of 1t that the cows
Will be injured. 1t should be invaria-
bly, fed with some other grain, and If
other concentrated foods are used 1t
Is better not to feed the gluten daily.
II, however, bran is used to consid-
cradle extent the gluten feed may be
safely made part of the daily ration.
While gluten meal Is frequently fed
with ground corn and cob meal, and
fed inexpensively in this way, we pre-
fer to use 1t with cornmeal and bran,
about three pounds of gluten meal to
two pounds each Of the bran and corn
meal, giving, of course, a liberal guam
tity Of roughage. As gluten produces
considerable body heat, and more when
fed In conjunction with cornmeal, 1t
Is essentially valuable winter feed,
but Is best cut out of the summer ra-
ton.
