Hopper Feeding For Pigeons.

Among fancierS generally there is n
strong prejudice against the use of
hopqers in the loft. Many who have
tried them have discarded them be-
cause they think in keeping Il constant
supply of grain before the birds they
are encouraged TO gorge themselves,
says y. V. MecrSch in Poultry News.
but in the writer's opinion no such
thing is ever done, as pigeons are not
greedy feeders. 1t seems reasonable
enough, and with some varieties there
can be no doubt the propensity may be
strongly developed, but the best fan
ciers use hoppers with quantity Of
food always before their birds.
Poutcrs are perhaps the chief offend
crs in this respect. as will be admitted
by breeders of them. 1t is probably
more satisfactory sometimes to feed
by hand. y pigeon that is off it's feed
can be easily detected and if handled
Immediately can be saved. Not all
breeders have the time to do so twice
Tally, so in such cases the hopper or
rs equivalent must be resorted to, and
its use is not infrequently attended
with best results.

Chemical Action of Lime.

Lime will take the place of potash
when it decomposes the minerals con-
tanning it, and thus liberates the potash;
and if enough humus is present in the
soil to take up the liberated potash, it
will be in an available condition for
some time. In this operation caustic
lime is especially active. The phosphoric
acid in the soils which are deficient in
lime, combines with the compounds OF
iron alumina; both these are very little
acted on by the water of the soil and by
bacteria, but in the presence of caustic
lime these staple compounds are more
easily decomposed and will assist in an
available condition the commercial acid
and fertilizer when keeping applied. By
the action of the acids contained in the
commercial fertilizer, poisonous COM
pounds such as sulphate of iron are re-
formed; and. as all know, sulphate OF
iron is used for killing insects. Lining
SO changes these conditions that they be-
come harmless to plants.
The minerals already referred to resist
the action of the strongest acid, but will
Weld to the alkaline effects of lime Even
in the presence of an excess of the:weak
carbonic acid, lime will not decompose
these minerals until it has neutraIized
the carbonic acid; therefore, if a large
quantity of any acid is present in the
soil. and too small quantity of lime is
present or applied, no visible benefit will
he realized.

1t is wonderful to note what rapid
strides are being made in the direction
of artificial incubation. With incuba-
tors, says the Western Poultry Jour-
nal. as with other things, there are
great differences in construction; some
doing away with moisture entirely,
others supplying enough to float a
duck, and between them all the novice
has Il perpleXing time of it. Whatever
machine he may buy let me impress
upon him one thing, and that is that
he should adhere rigidly to the makers
instructions. There is a great tendency
nowadays to try to work a machine by
4 combination of various rules, and it
does not answer to cross the strain in
this way, unless one knows thoroughly
the subject of artificial Matching. Keep
to the rules of the road, and leave ex-
perimeQts for the expert

Admiral Tryon. standing on the aft
erdecN OF the British battieship Cam
pcrdown, had no thought other than dy-
ing with his great flagship as she sank
in the Mediterranean off TripCli after
collision with the battlcship Victoria.
Tryon had given the signal calling for
a vancouver within dangerous distance,
and its disastrous ending placed him in
such position that no doubt he deemed
death far simpler solution to the
problems that must have flashed
through his mind.
Inspired by the ethics of his profess
sion and by the dignity OF his office,
CAPTAIN Tunis Augustus Craven of the
monitor Tecumseh died i'll Il way that
will live as long us the history of this
country lives. His monitor was one
of the vessels attached to Admiral Far
ragut's squadron, then collected for
the attack on Mobile. On the morning
of Aug. ), 1861, the Tecumseh, in the
post of honor at the head of the at
lacking squadron, engaged the de-
fenSes of the city. The orders to fleet
captains were that i'll order to avoid
torpedocs at the entrance to the bay
vessels must pass to the eastward of
a certain red buoy. which was directly
under the guns OF Fort Morgan. Inc
Confederate ram Tennessee was lying
to port of the Tecumseh and inside the
line of torpedoeS. Captain Craven, in
his eagerness to engage this craft, neg
lected the course warning and passed
to the westward of the buoy. The pen
atty was immediate. There was a
muftied explosion, the monitor listing
sharply. AS she began swiftly to sink
Captain Craven and his pilot, John
Collins, met at the foot Of the ladder
leading to the top of the turret-a lad

to safety. The turrct was nearly sub
merged. There would be time for one
to mount the ladder perhaps. but only
one. The pilot knew this; Craven knew
it. There was no hesitation. With Il
smile Craven stepped away from the
ladder.

Something About The Mall order
Business.

We met one Of our brother editors on
the street IN" other day in a very bad
frame Of mind. On asking the cause Of
his i'll hunor, he informed us that one OF
EOOnvillc's merchants had just received
a bill II stationery from a mail order
hous". And just think Of il, I've been
fighting against these mail order houses
with all my power to protect this same
man against them. : said he land then To
see such a display Of ipgratitude makes
me sick Our brother has our earnest
sympathy. But II was ever thus since
dayioi Judas and We presume it ever will
remain 80. But few people realize the
extent Of the mail order business of this
country and 10 what extent il is sappiDy

a few months ago the editor Of this paper
received a letter from a prominet mail
order house IN Chicago asking that he
recommend to them some reliable man,
1t there was no one connected with the
Office who would do II, to distribute
among the farmer Of Cooper county a
car load OF catalogues, at good pay. We
didn't even reply to the letter. We
might however have advised them il they
desired to advertise their goods to the
people OF Cooper county they could
reach them through the ADVERTISER
