Bringing Him Back to Earth.

Henry James, the American novelist
lives at Rye, England, one of the cinQue
ports, but recently he left Rye for time
and took house in the country near the
estate of millionaire jam manufactures,
retired. This man, having married an
earrs daughter, was ashamed of the trade
whereby he had piled up his fortune
The jam manufacturer one day wrote to
Mr.. James an impudent letter, yowing
that it was outrageous the way the
James servants were trespassing on his
grounds. Mr.. James wrote back:
Dear Sir am very sorry to hear
that my servants have been poaching on
your preserves.

Feeding Stalks to Hogs.

When the green stalks are given to
hogs care should be taken to prevent
cattle from having access to the woody
fiber which the swine will leave after
chewing the stalks. Pigs relish chew
ing the stalk for the sweetness in it..
but leave enough saccharine matter in
the fiber to make it attractive to cat
tie, especially the younger stock. This
fiber is indigestible, and the cattle, if
allowed to pick it up, will frequently
eat sufficient quantity to cause i'm

Changing Bees.

The common busy bees may be grad
ually replaced by the Italian or Cyprl-
an varieties, by removing the old
queen and substituting a new fertil-
lied queen of either kind preferred.
If she is carefully guarded in a small
cage for few days the bees soon
recognize her, and in the course Of a
few months the old bees will all be
dead and the new ones will be of the
desired kind. The queen is compelled
to lay numbers Of eggs daily in order

Angoras as Trail Cutters.

Angora goats are doing good work
among the mountains of California,
where they are cutting trails for fire
guards through the brushy areas. The
herd of 5000 is divided into two bands,
which are grazed within well-defined
areas They attack the heavy bushes,
stripping off the bark and killing all
wild growth. There is plenty of the
same kind of work to be done. in the
East, but only small beginnings have
been mades Perhaps an object lesson
is needed in the shape of large tract
of rough land to be cleared and i'm

Poultry Notes.

Others have built up an egg laying
strain. Why not do so yourself?
Lazy hens cause much of the high
prices for eggs. Make 'em get busy
and hustle.
The warmer the weather the more
water required, as more is thrown off
by the body.
Many a hen that is otherwise well
fed may fail to lay on account of lack
of water.
Successful poultrymen, in order to
keep their poultry on a paying basis,
are continually culling their flocks.
One of the great values of green
food, it is said, lies in its ability to
aid in the digestion of other things

Hogs and straw Kicks.

Some farmers think that a straw
rick is a good place for the SOW and
her brood to sleep. This is a mistake.
1t is best to keep them away from the
straw pile winter and summer. In the
winter the pigs will burrow beneath
the straw, get too warm and take cold
when they come outsinto the freezing

is the result, and the pigs do no good
or die. Besides, If burrowed beneath

rye as Horse Feed.

Rye is a good grain to feed horses.
1t is equal to oats and wheat, but it
must be ground middling fine and
mixed with cut straw or cut hay.
The straw or hay should be cut into
half-inch lengths, moistened with wa
ter and the rye meal well mixed with
it. 1t is very sticky and horses can
not get the meal without eating the
straw or hay with it. In feeding corn
to horses we always grind half rye
with the corn to make the corn meal
stick to the cut straw Corn and rye
ground together in equal proportions
and mixed with bright cut straw
moistened with water make a well-bal-
anced ration, equally as good, as eager
ly sought after by horses and a cheap
er horse feed than oats and hay.

Governor Harmon UnCOverS the

For months number of Repub-

ated to their readers the assertion
that Governor Harmon has not
been able to make good the charges
of graft that played so important
part in the state campaign last
year.
They probably felt secure, after
the stubborn resistance of the
bosses and the Republican major
ity in both branches of the legis-
lature during the special session

reasonable authority to examine
state offices and departments,
which ended in the passage of a

so preposterous was the bill that
was passed, after being doped to
suit the bosses, that Governor Har-
mon consistently vetoed it to save
the state the foolish waste of ex-
pense upon alleged Investigations
that could be nothing more than
farcical, The veto of this loaded
bill made the bosses and their CO.
horts feel doubly sure, and the
machine serving Republican papers
felt that they could safely taunt
Governor Harmon by declaring
that he mad been unable to make
