Moonshine Bad for Fish.

There are lots of anglers, of course
who would not credit the statement that
the moon shining on fish spoils them,
SAYS a writer in the Omaha World
Herald. There are a large number of
skilled old fishermen up about Walker,
on Leech lake. in Minnesota, and on be-
ing told of this effect of the moon on
the fish. when l was up there several
years ago. inquired of old man Busch,
the old hotel man aud best maskinonge
hunter of the region, and he told me
that fish exposed TO the moonlight We're
sure to spoil. A number of other old
fishermen about the lake told me the
same thing Old man Busch said that
the moonshine made the FISH soft and
tainted it to such an extent as to unfit
1t for the table in a few hours.

Plan now your home forest. In this
twentieth century there is no large
farm so valuable in its products but
that it can afford an artificial grove.
We must not now judge by past ex
perience, but by the light of the pres
ent.
But the forest you are about to plant
may be more or less valuable. Make it
more 50 by wise selections. The day OF
the boX-eider and cottonwood Is over.
1t might pay to plant them rather than
nothing, but you may do better. Plant
the ash, the catalpa, the larch. Plant
nut trees and the oaks.
Timber is better than the precious
metals While it looks long to the har
vest, it is one of the surest of crops.
Land owners must awake to their op-
portunity, for there Is money in trees

The cow likes a variety Of food and
it pays to give 1t to her. For the slim
ulatton Of the appetite and aid in di-
gestion, some OF her feeds should be
green and succulent, such as roots and
silage for winter Some linseed meal
should be given at frequent intervals.
1t Is not only rich feed. but an ex-
cellent regulator Of the digestive or
gans. Glover and alfalfa hay are both
rich in milkforming elements, and give
bulk to the ration. Some corn should
be given daily, especially through the
cold months, as COWS greatly relish the
grain, and it helps in forming butter
fat and in producing animal fat. Give
the cows about all they will eat up
clean of each feed, but shift changes
often, not only the kinds, but the
amounts of each kind, at different
times. This change gives a stimulat-
ing variety to feeds. and the cows
thrive and produce on it.

seedIess Grapes.

What's become of the "coreless" APP
pie? Twenty years ago it was an
nounced as a discovery or a develop
ment calculated to revolutionize the or
chard industry. OF late we hear less
about 1t.
A little later the "thornless" black
berry appeared on the horizon. 1t Ger
tainly was thornless, but somehow it
failed to drive the ferociously- armed
brambles of the berry gardens into the
desert. 1t is still produced. but the
older kinds are yet much more com
mon.
Now the ''seedless" grape bids for fa-
vor. Such a fruit would surely meet
a long-ielt want" says Country Life
in America, If the quality and flavor
of the few thus far grown can be per-
petuated and it proves remuneratively
productive and capable of standing
up for shipment there is a big future
before it.

1t is generally believed that the load
pulls easier if put well forward on the
wagon. But this is not so on the ordi
nary wagon, where the hind wheels are
larger than the front ones Should the
wheels be equal in size, the load should
be equally distributed. If the trucks
are 50 low down that the horses have an
upward pull on the load, then it would
be all right to put the load well for
ward. The load should be proportional
TO the surface contact Of the wheels.
large wheel sinks less than a small
one; therefore, the load should be
heaviest on the hind wheels Dlstrlb
ute the weight so that no one wheel
or no one side is carrying the greater
share, lest it make the draft excessive
for the tonnage carried.

SOLD TO HAREMS.
Efforts by the Young Turks to Save
CircaSsian Girls.

Efforts by the Young Turks to Save
Circassian Girls.
The leaders of the Young Turks in
Constantinople and in other large towns
of the Sultan's dominions are doing
their utmost to suppress the trade in
Circassian girls, which was revived some
five years ago. and has assumed large
proportions. The girls come mostly from
the east shore of the Black Sea, and
are shipped secretly from the ports of
Poi, Tuapse, SoukhumK ale and Ba-
toEm. Many elude the vigilance of lac
Russian authorities, disguised as boys.
The most unpromising feature of the
business is the attitude of the parents,
whe are well content to sell their daugh-
ters into the larems Of rich Turkish Pa
shas. The Cucassians are extremely
poor in Their mountain homes on the
shores of the Euxine and the girls them
selves are seldom averse to the change
from the sordid, half-starved existence
of their childhood to the glitter of the
Turkish harem. They are sure of
pleasant, easy life with plenty to eat.
and after the Pasha is tired of them they
are certain of marriage to some well
to-do man. The price of a beautiful Cir
cassion girl has increased as the result
of the strong demand. One of good
stature and figure with a handsome face
costs as much as $4,000. The ordinary
price of a comely sirl is from $500 to
$1,000.
