Crops for Thistly Land.
It is not safe to plant fields invested
with thistles with some kinds of crops.
This and the decreased Yield -of any crop
are the sufficient reasons for getting rid
of thistles as soon as possible. Thistles
seed before any kind of spring grain can
be harvested, and also/in winter wheat or
rye. Only with hoed crops can the
thistle be tolerated, and with these it
makes an eno:mous iucrease in work. In
corn or potato hills the thistle plants
kept under between the rows find refuge
in the hills, where they must be pulled
up, or better still, covered with earth
and smothered. It requires nearly two
years with hoed crops in succession to
make a full end of either thistles or quack
grass, as some scattering specimens will
generally remain the second year, no
matter how thorough the cultivation of
the first crop may have been. But the
decaying roots of a heavy growth of
thistles will furnish plant food sufficient
to warrant this plant of double cropping.
The Canada thistle root runs deep, and
Is excellent for the land after it is certainly
dead.?American Culticator.
Harrow the Younjj Corn.
The best way to keep a cornfield
clean is to begin dragging it before the
corn comes up, or just before it breaks
through the ground, with a drag having
Blim and slanting teeth. Such drags
are generally lighter than those used for
barrowing-in grain. Beginning thus
early, the whole surface is stirred so that
no grass or weeds are able to get a start
even in the cornhill. The season permitting,
this dragging should be kept
up once or twice a week till the com is 5 j
or 6 inches high. The advantage of
dragging is that you get over a large
field in a short time, for the drag sweeps
Beveral rows at once, and it cleans the
grass from the hills as from the open
spaces. It does not destroy the cornplant,
because the teeth are slender and
ilant back. To one who has never seen
it done it may seem like ruin, but I have
noticed that those who once try it always
keep it up. After this we cultivate j
only in the open rows, and the hills are j
kept clean by closing up to them and by |
throwing the soil in amonn- them, thus I
0 o " ?
covering up any grass or weeds that may
want to start anew.? New York Tribune.
Cooked Feed.
The more pounds of pork made from a
bushel of corn or other grain, the greater
the profit to the pork raiser. And it is
the profit that is'derived from the business
which is the prime cause in nerving
us to work, and plan and watch our
business closely, giving attention to all
its details. How soon our interest flags
when it is apparent that no profit is in
view. But one dollar invested in hogs
and corn, bringing an increase of fifty
cents with it on market day, " 'pires the
feeder with interest and vigor. Profit is |
the motive that drives all business. It is
conceded that the most successful pork
producers either soak or cook the grain
led to their pigs, having found by experience
that it pays them to do so. The

five3 the result of his experiments in
feeding cooked and raw corn, in which !
one bushel of raw corn made 10 pounds |
of pork, and one bushel of cooked corn
made 19 pounds of pork; at this rate, '
10 bushels of uncooked corn would;
make 100 pounds of pork, or ~>h bushels ,
of cooked corn would make 100 of pork, |
making a saving of 4$ bushels to the 100 j
pounds. Of. course there is a little more ;
time used in cooking food, which is j
partly offset by the better quality of the '
manure. This year in the drouth sec- j
tion where corn is scarce, it will be of ;
double interest to parties to save their
corn by cooking the feed. ? Prairie

To Manajre Sitting Hens.
To manage sitting hens, Fauny Field
(good authority), in Poultry Keeper says
it isn't much use to set hens where the '
laying hens can get at tliem; but, bless
yoD, you needn't wait until your hens
offer to sit in some place out of the way
of therest o! the flock. When your
hens offer to sit put them in a "good
plaec," and make them sit there. Won't!
stay? Yes they will, too, if you manage
them right.
How to manage them our authority
says, to begin with, have a p!a:e for
your sitting hen? where the laying hens
can't get in, or the sitters get out. Such
a place can be made at a tr.fling expense
by putting a temporary partition in your
poultry house. For nests make some j
bottomless boxes eighteen inches squaie, i
with a strip five inches wide nailed across !
the open front at the bottom. When a
hen wants to sit set one of these boxes I
L _.
Planting Potatoes.
j The potato is one of the important '
I crops of the farm, and one which under j
ordinarily favorable circumstances can ,
be grown with as little trouble as the
average of crops. Within the past few
| years,or since the advent of the Colorado
"beetle, cultivation has been attended
with more trouble because of the extra
labor required to destroy the beetles or
their lame. The last season was an unfavorable
season because of a blight that
largely affected the crop, reducing it in
the aggregate amount very much. With
proper care potatoes can be grown upon
almost any soil that is reasonably dry,
and that is possessed of fair fertility, although
a sandy loam is usually preferable.
This vegetable will usually succeed
fully as well and probably better
upon a soil that has been devoted to pasturage
for some time. It seems to thrive
best when obtaining a share of its
nourishment from an old sod, and another
important consideration is mat witn sum
conditions the tubers are usually cleaner
and smoother than when grown upon
old land or that has been under previous
cultivation for a little time.
Potatoes will seldom do well if planted
upon the same soil for a succession of
years; the tendency is to roughness and
scabbiness. The soil, as before suggested,
should be fairly fertile, and any
supposed deficiency should be provided
for by an application upon the surface I
after ploughing, which should be to a |
depth of six or eight inches, and then
thoroughly incorporated with the soil by
means of harrowing. One important
point to be secured, is a light soil, as
the potato will seldom thrive in one that
is compact and hard. 1/ this condition
cannot be secured by the usual tillage of
the soil, it should be provided for by
other means, and one of the best is to
use some coarse strawy manure placed
in the furiow with the seed.
After the surface is made mellow by
sufficient harrowing, the field should be
fnrTT>Tuorl tn murk the rows, and these
furrows should be made to a good
depth, as we believe, all things considered,
that it is better to plant to a
considerable depth. "We have considerable
faith in home manure for potatoes,
having always secured good and satisfactory
results from its use. Sometimes *
it has been strewn in the furrow and the
seed dropped upon it, and sometimes
the operation has been reversed. Our
practice has for some time been to cut I
fair sized potatoes to two or three eyes
and drop a single piece for a hill, the
pieces being dropped about one foot
apart in the row; as a sort of stimulant,
a small quantity of superphosphate may
be dropped by the side of each hill, and
if the soil is free from stones the covering
may be done by the use of the
plough.
Ashes are recommended very highly by
seme in the planting of potatoes, but we
are compelled tosay that our experience
Ms not encouraged tneir use, out ilu? j
may have been because of some peculiar- j
ity of the soil. A9 soon as up the'potato ;
crop should be hoed and kept clean of j
weeds or grass; there is nothing that i
will affect the growth of the tubers more '
than a thick growth of weeds in the j
rows. Clean culture is always to be rec- j
om wended, but with potatoes it seems
to be an absolute necessity. ?New York

A good way to distinguish mushrooms
is to sprinkle salt on the spongy or under

poisonous; if black, it is wholesome.
The cultivation of the potato crop

The period of growth is short, but we
ought to give them every possible chance
while growing.

milk as their principal food than at any

care should be exercised to see that
a steady growth is maintained. A
stunted animal is not desirable, to say
the least.
A New York fanner states that he I
used only coal gas tar to prevent the !
ravages of the potato beetle. He puts
a gallon of tar in a tub, over which he
pours boiling water, which is allowed to
settle and cool. This is sprinkled ovei
the vines with an ordinary sprinkler. A
gallon of tar, costing seventy-five cents,
suffices for several acres of potatoes.
There is a greater demand for evergreen
corn than for any other. It is
late, and, therefore, preferred for canning.
It is very large and sweet, and,
therefore, in demand for soiling and ensilage.
Being late and lar^e, it is difficult
to cure the seed without fire heat,
which should always be given, to have it
safe from freezing when cold weather

THE LAND OF EXILE.
George Kcnnnn'H Trip to Siberia?III?
Story to Appear In The Century.
HE Centubt Magazine
rffrcK LI It) has inspired a number of
JjjP* important enterprises?the
Grea't South papers; the articles
on South America (the
! result of an expedition sent
out by the magazine); the
War Papers, which increased
its circulation by
100,000; the Life of Lincoln,
for the serial publication of
which Messra Nicolay and
i/T Hay, formerly private secretaries
to the President, are now receiving
$50,000; these, and many others. But of all
its enterprises and serials none will surpass
in interest and in far-reaching results the
papers on "Siberia and the Exile System,"
the publication of which has iust bejun.
.Mr. Kennan, who writes the articles, had
? i- ?;i
spent a numDeror years in oiuerm ucium
The Centura people started him off to explore
the country in their interest, and what
he expected to do was to prove that the exile
system was not as terrible as it had been
described. Knowing that he held views
favorable to them, the Russian Government |
gave him every facility for a thorough examination
of all the prisons and mines of
Siberia. The Minister of the Interior furnished
him with a circular letter which admitted
him everywhere, allowing him to
travel with exile parties and to make the
acquaintance of hundreds of "liberals."
As Mr. Kennan relates in his preface in
the May Century, the result of all this inspection
was to make him change his views
completely, and he has returned to America
fully convinced that Stepniak and Prince
Krapotkin and other nihilist writers have
not drawn with too strong colors their pictures
of the horrors of the life of a Russian
exile. In these papers, beginning with the
May Century, Mr. Kennan will describe his
journey. In the May number he crosses the
Russian frontier. In June lie visits the very
interesting forwarding prison at Tiumen,

built to accommodate 800, where, at the time
of Mr. Kennan's visit, 1741 men and women
were imprisoned. In rooms built to accommodate
forty men, 160 were sleeping. "1
breathed as little as I could while I was
there," says Mr. Kennan, "but every respiration
seemed to pollute my very soul, and 1
became faint from nausea and lack of oxygen.
It was like trying to breathe in an
underground hospital-drain."
Mr. Kennan's articles are torn out the
copies of The Centura which enter .Russia;
they, as well as Mr. Kennan himself, being
now on the Russian black-list. But other
countries are reading what Mr. Kennan
writes. The articles are being translated into
Polish, and tbey are appearing also in the
organ of the Russian liberals at Geneva.
Even a Dutch newspaper published on the
Island of Java ia reprinting them in fourpage
supplements.
W011DS OF WISDOM.
To be rich is not to have wealth, it is
only to have enough.
Progress could never take place if custom
was strictly followed.
Patient plodding often accomplishes
more than inactive genius.
Whatever is the subject of faith should
not be submitted to reason, and much
less bend to it.
We can finish nothing in this life; but
we may make a beginning, and bequeath
a noble example.
They pass best over the world who trip
over it quickly; for it is but a bog?if
we stop we sink.
True friends visit us in prosperity only
when invited, and in adversity they ccme
without invitation.
"We cannot conquer a necessity, but we
can yield to it in such a way as to be
greater than if we could.
Our passions are like convulsion fits,
which make us strong for the time, but
leave us weaker for ever after.
Excess of ceremony shows want ot
breeding; that civility is best which excludes
all superfluous formality.
Every good act is charity. A man's
true wealth hereafter is the good that he
does in this world to his fellow men.
Great results cannot be achieved at
once; and we must be satisfied to advance
in life as we walk, step by step.
Success secures the approbation of the
world, for as the wise man says: ".Men
will praise thee when thou doestwell for
thyself."
The Caprices of a Snltan.
Most of the tales about Abd-ul-Hamid,
the Snltan of Turkey, are indeed trivial
enough. They mainly illustrate his
feeblemindedness and caprice. Take
the one of the Court pianist. One day
his Imperial Majesty sat in his Imperial
palacc cutting out silhouettes of black
paper, as a solace from the cares of state.
All at once he called for soft music, and
bade his Court pianist to play a polka.
The latter, thinking to please the Sovereign
more, sat down at the instrument
and thumped out the Imperial March
with all due energy and fervor. Not a
word escaped the lips of the Sovereign,
and the pianist never gave the matter a
thought until that evening, when a messenger
from Yildiz informed hiin that
the Sultan had no further need of his
services. In other words, he was cashiered?deprived
of his appointment, his
house and a salary of ?.}00 a year. Alas!
a wrong tune will suffice to ruin a man
in Turkey. Another time, during a
pantomime at the Court Theatre of Yildiz,
Dussap Pasha played the Imperial
March while a jibbering jackass brayed
and pranced about the stage. The Sultan
was furious at hearing his own sacred
ana particular marcn piayeu as an accompaniment
to the (lancing of a common
donkey, and he dismissed poor
Du-sap on the spot. The penitent Pasha
was, however, aftcward restored to Imperial
favor, as the whole affair proved
to be nothing more than a Court intrigue
to work his disgrace. With his musicians
the Sultan has always been capricious.
His pet violinist, Wondra,
wished to leave the Court and go to
Paris to study there with the best masters.
A petition was accordingly presented
to his Imperial Majesty, who abruply
tore it up, liung the pieces at the
messenger, and said: "Why shou'd he
study? Js it to earn money? If he
wants that my treasury is open; let him
help himself, and stop here. I wish it."
So, willy-nilly, Wondra had to stay.?

A Unique Telegraph System.
There has grown up among the farmers
of a county in Michigan a telegraph
system which might be extended
throughout the rural districts everywhere.
The system began by two farmers
connecting their houses with a wire
for their own convenience and operating
their line with an ordinary Worse instruments.
Gradually other farmers extended
the line to their houses, and after
a time the wire was run into a neighboring
village. Seven years ago the com1

merchants organized themselves into a
company and it has since been extended
until now it has sixty-five miles of "wire
and ninety offices, two-thirds of the latter
being in farm-houses, and nearly all
the rest in stores where these farmers do
their trading. One or two newspaper
offices, as many more railroad freight
offices, the County Telephone Exchange
and the larger post-offices are all connected.
Every farmer is his own operator,
battery n an and line repairer. Of
course, any quantity of private communication
is kept up between the stock!

Wanted Two Millions.
One of the girls in fashionable society
in New York made up her mind to get
married the other day, and after confiding
her intention to her father, she
said: "What do you intend to do for
me?" The father was a wealthy man,
and thought that he was showing a
liberal spirit when he answered: "Well,
[ will give you $100,000 to buy a house
and $25,000 to furnish it with." "And
what will you give me to live on?" the
vnnncr lr.dv demanded, with a dissatisfied
/ o y '
look on her face. "Oh, I will allow you
the interest on another $100,000," replied
her father. "But my cook will cost at
least $1200 a year. How do you think I
can possibly manage with so little?"
The father looked slightly grieved, but
jnly said: "That must do while lam
living; you will probably have more
when I am gone." The young man who
was interested in hearing the result of
this conversation between father and
daughter said when he heard it: "He
might at lea9t have given her two
millions." The marriage did not take

Transplnntirff; a Rabbit's Nerve.
The British Medical Journal contains a
full and scientific account of a remarkable
operation recently performed by Dr.
Gersung, of Vienna, being the transplantation
of a nerve from a rabbit to a
man. The patient is Professor Von
Fleischl, a distinguished physiologist of
the University of Vienna. Sixteen years
ago he was poisoned by a cut during a post
mortem. His thumb had to be amputated,
a disease of the nerve intervened, and
after some years the whole system of
nerves of the thumb and the first fingers
was affcctcd and became very painful.
Gersung's operation consisted in taking
a> long a piece as possible of sciatic
nerve from a rabbit, which was still palpitating,
and inserting it in the plac^ of
six centimeters of the diseased median
nerve cut from Flcischl's hand. For a
few hours there was great pain. This
then entirely subsided and healing began.
Two months have now elapsed,
and the pain has not returned. The success
is believed to be permanent.
As a general thing, the man who is
full of himself finds his appetite unappeased.

on the floor of your sitting room (the I
floor is supposed to be covered with dry
earth), put in a .shovelful of fresh earth,
hollow it out a little in the center,
enough to keep the c^rgs from rolling
away to the corners of the box, but not
enough so that they will be all piled up
in the middle, cover the earth with a
little fine hay, or chaff, or cut straw,
sprinkle in a little sulphur, tine tobacco,
or inseot powder, put in three or four j
nest eggs and your nest is ready for the j
hen.
Don't move the hen the very first night
you find her on a nest after sundown;
just let her sit there on some nest eggs
for a day or tro, until she gets her mTnd
fully made up. Then, after dark, take
her from the nest and place her on the
nest you have* prepared in the sitting
room. Handle her gently so as not to j
frighten her. Place a board so as to
cover the f. ont of the nest, and fasten it
bo that it won't fall down if the hen
happens to hit it. Have a few ausrur
holes in this board so that the hen can
have plenty of air. Leave the hen on
the neat all the next day. Do not go
near her to see "how she is fftttinjr on:"
* ' * " " i\
she will get on, or rather stay on, better
if you let her alone. After dark the
next evening place a dish of water,
another of whole corn and oats where
she can ?ec them when she wakes up in
the morning, take down the board from
the front of the nest, but do not dis- *
turb the hen. In the morning, after it is
daylight, the hen will see the corn and
water, come off, eat and drink, walk
about and fix up her feathers after the
fashion of sitting hens, and probably go
back to her nest and settle down as contentedly
as though she had chosen that
nest in the first nlace.
