Snread the Manure.

Applying manure In heaps is objec-
tionable for several reasons. The labor
of handling is increased, there is
danger from loss Of decomposition and
teaching, the manure is not uniformly
distributed, the spots beneath the heap
being moro thoroughly manured on
account of the teaching. Storing
manure in very large heaps is less OBJ
jectionable, provided the heap is care
fully covered with earth and not al
lowed to lie too long. By applying
broadcast the manure is spread more
or less completely and evenly on the
field, being plowed In at once or al
lowed to lie some time on the surface.
This is preferably practiced on the
level field, where there Is little danger
from surface washing. In late fall and
early spring there is likely to be very
little loss of nitrogen.

ehristened 1t. 1t was at first proposed
to call the place New Caledonia"
but Queen Victoria pointed out that
there was already a French colony of
that name in the Pacific. She sug-
gested British Columbia" and the
happy thought became q fact. After
wards her Majesty was invited by the
British Columbians to christen their
capital, and she decided upon New
Westminster" But In after years
New Westminster was found to be
not altogether suitable for metropo-
lis, and the capital was transferred
to Victoria. New Westminster, from

Art In Cataoomha.

The catacombs at Rome were the
burial places OF the early Christians.
They are about $50 miles in extent
and are said to have contained 6.0O0,-
900 bodies. During the prosecutions
of the Christians by Nero and other
Roman Emperors the catacombs were
used for hiding places. Under Dio-
cletian the catacombs were crowded
with those for whom there was no
safety in the face Of day. The art Of
the catacombs is unique and most in
teresting. Simple designs are etched
in the slabs which seal the tombs.
Now and then are small chapels
where paintings are to be found. All
are Bible illustrations, so that the
catacombs may be said to be pictor-

RAILWAY POLICE DOGS.
How They Are Trained to Guard the
CompanY's Property.


AS an additional protection to the
Hull docks a scheme has Just been
formulated by which the police con-
stables of the North Eastern Rail-
way on night duty will be assisted by
dogs.
1t is the Airedale breed that is en-
ployed and the experiment has been
attended with so much success that
large kennels have been provided and
it is now proposed to augment the
number of animals. Tramps scarcely
ever sleep out on the docks now, but
hold the dogs in deadly terror.
Each dog undergoes a most ella
bcrate training which centres wholly
around one idea, that every person
dressed in other than police uniform
is an enemy. This is an important
point and no person dressed in plain
clothes is allowed to touch or pet the
dogs.
The policemen who tend them must
only enter the kennels In uniform.
The dogs are taught to obey police
mans whistle which they soon learn.
for the Airedale terrier is obedient
Each animal undergoes strict and
rigid training and so far the dogs have
rendered most valuable service.-Rail

QUALITY Tells IN
DRAFT HORSES.
Well Bred Animals More Prof.
liable Than Giant Scrubs.

At the prevailing prices for draft
geldings most farmers know that there
is good money in doing the farm work
with strong, rugged brood mares that
produce draft horses acceptable to the
trade. However, the idea seems to
be present in some cases, judging by
the kind of stations used. that all the
market demands is size. And it is
true that ton drafter will sell well.
provided he Is sound, no matter much
what his shape But it should always
be remembered that quality in draft
horse brings good money. 1t has a
real value on city streets.
In the first place, a horse symmet-
rically built will probably remain
sound longer than the one perhaps
with too small "freboX" or too mar
row a chest or joints not In keeping
with his limbs. 1t stands to reason
that q horse built "all his parts to
fit" one that Is smooth but strong ev-
erywhere, one that fills and pleases
the eye, will stand strains best. And,
in the second place, such a horse
brings more money because he is an
advertiser of his owners business. To
produce quality in the colts we must
have quality in sire and dam. So use
the good and well bred sire, even
though his service fee is double that
of the giant scrub.-National Stock

Taste is curiousiy locahzed tn the

TIMELY HINTS
FOR FARMERS
Weaninu PiuS.

Pigs can be weaned at eight WEEKS,
but it is better not to wean them be-
fore ten or twelve When wcaned too
early the growth Is apt to be stunted
unless they are abundantly supplied
with new milk fed at body heat. 1t is
more simple to give the SOW literally
of milk soaked grain and let her nurse
them longer. Before weaving the pigs
castrate any Of the boars that are not
desired for breeding use.
The young pigs usually will eat when
three weeks old and should be fed.
Have a small feeding pen for them
which the SOW cannot enter. At first
give them sweet milk, only 1t must
not be sour. After they are five or
six weeks old add little grain feed,
such as shorts, to the milk. When
the time comes to wean them COM
pletely do not risk taking them away
from the SOW at once.

Every farm that has a part Of Its
land fenced in should have limited
number Of sheep Professor Shaw
says that from ten to twenty head can
be kept on 100 acres Of land without
any cost to the owner for food, except
in the winter. They will keep them
selves very largely on what otherwise
would be lost. They can be utilized
in trimming up all the byplaces on the
farm. They will eat much of what
the cattle have rejected, will trim out
all or nearly all the weeds found in
the pastures, and while thus engaged
they will not seriously encroach on the
supplies Of food for the cattle. Nei-
ther will the sheep foul the pastures
so that dairy cows will not relish the
same. Sheep droppings lie close upon
the ground and so scattered that their
presence in any one place is scarcely
noticeable.

on either line, and these are made by
stage or on horseback at distances
of from forty TO seventy miles.
