A Kemarkable Friendship.
One of the severest tests of friendship
recorded in the annals of history
has jnst come to light in Pasadena in
the course of the trial of a Mexican
who stuck his knife twice into the
abdomen of a lovine chum. The in
jured man has arisen from his bed to
explain to the Court that the attempt
of his friend to engage in a little
sportive vivisection has not altered
the sentiment of affectionate regard
existing between them. The spirit of
the carver was said to be altogether
amicable, and the mutual attachment
of former days has not been impaired.

Defective Sig-Iit.
The school children of Baltimore
have been undtrgoing examination to
test the condition of their eyesight,
with some interesting resnlts. Out of"
tifty-three thousand pupils over niue
thousand were found with such defective
eyesight as to make it unsafe for
them to continue their studies. The
report was that thu percentage of normal
vision was found to be, first grade,
3">; second, 41 ; third, 47; fourth, 49;
fifth, 4S; sixth, 48; seventh, 54; and
eighth, 56 per cent. A curious result
of the examination is that there is a
steady decrease in defective eyesight
from the second to the eighth grade;
and another important item is that a
number of children who were pronounced
almost hopelessly stupid bv
their teachers have been amazingly improved
and are making fair progress
ir. fViai*. ctn/lioc einpp thfiV have
adopted their glas6ee. This experiment
has awakened general interest
among teachers, who are wondering if
much of the stupidity noticeable Jin
many backward pupils may not be attributable
to the difficulty they find
in distinguishing objects, and whether
they may not be benefited by the use
of glasses.
A Power That Cinnot Be Stolen
According to the Electric Review, it
has been decided by a court in Germany
that electricity cannot be
stolen. An electric light company
discovered that a man had tapped the
wires and was using electricity as
itntr-nr ScTrorn! fhrmannrl ftmner?48 of
r ? r
current had been consumed when the
discovery was made. The question
arose in court whether an invisible, |
intangible material could be carried
oil. With a curious disregard for the
very evident facts in the case, the
court ruled that only a movable, material
object could be stolen. They decided
that electricity did not come
under that head, and the appropriator
of the electric current was allowed to
go free.

Breeding Pheasants.
In their annual report the commissioners

state that the propagation
and distribution of Mongolian pheasants
has been successfully carried on
during the past season at the State
aviaries. Something over two hundred
chicks, which had been allowed
their freedom in the large inclosure,
were trapped in October and put in a
covered corral twenty-eight by sixty
feet in area. This proved too small for
so many birds, and there was a small

next year by sending the birds
out as eoon as they are trapped.
A few birds were distributed last
year to responsible persons with the
understanding that they were to
breed and turn them out in their respective
localities. Only three were
successful in raising birds, but. they
are confident that past experience will
lead to success in the future, and that

nearing extermination, will be replaced.?Norwich

ERADICATING SCAB IN SITEEP.
Hot baths made by putting sulphur
in water ftre ft specific for scab in
sheep. It is very infectious, and any
sheep having it should be kept by itself.
The bath will need to be repeated
at intervals of one or two days,
for at least three times, in order to
destroy cerms that were not advanced
enough for the first application to kill.
The Australian sheep groweris have
succeeded in eradicating scab from
that country. Now every sheep
brought to Australia has to eubmit to
the bath once to destroy possible
germs that have not become visible.
SMALLER FARMS.
"It's an ill wind that blows nobody
any good," is an old saying that will
apply to the period of depression we
are just passing. I have long contended,
and still believe, that seven
out of everv ten farmers are farming
?or 1 should say trying to farm?too
much land. The average yield of an
acre of our leading cereals is ridicu
lonely small, considering the fertility
of our soil and the ease with which it
can be tilled. It is very evident that
there is something wrong when one
man obtuins a yield of thirty five :
bushels of wheat to the acre while his
neighbor, just over the fence, gets
only twelve. Why should one man
get eighty bushels of No. 1 corn an
acre while his nearest neighbor gets
only twenty-five bushels of No. 3 corn
an acre? Evidently one knows how
to cultivate his land bo as to make it
yield a full crop, and the other
doosn't.?Farm, Field and Fireside.
small farms best.
At a fanners' institute lately, says
the Sau Francisco Chronicle, a qniet
man remarked to the writer that the
trouble with our farmers was they
tried to farm too much land. He said
his own farm consisted ot one-third of
an acre, from which he got rather
more than a living and had leisura to
read and study. When asked how he
did it, he said he kept about seventyfive
fowls and grew vegetables, which
he sold in his local market. He added
that there was room for more like him
in the place, as a great part of the
vegetables used in the vicinity were
brought from San Francisco. Upon
inquiry, it was found that this man
was unmarried, and did his own cooking.
When asked what he would do if
he had a wife and ten children to suu
port, he said he should probably need
fiv6 acres. He thought it more profitable
to put labor and fertilizers on a
small patch of land than to buy or
run iu debt for a large acreage. The
only farmers he knew of in his vicinity
who were making any-money, or even
making endq meet, were those who
were cultivating small farms, on which
they could do all the work without
hiring.
COBN FERTILIZATION.
A Btudy in corn fertilization has
beeu conducted by the Connecticut
| Experiment Station for nearly ten
years. For Bix successive years the
average yield per acre was seventyI
three bushels on land dressed with
I cow manure, on hog manure seventy- j
: four bushels, on chemicals sixty-three
bushels, and without any manure
thirty-6eveu bushels. The sixth crop
! was largest on the hog manure plot,
but the average yield per acre for six
crops showed no creat difference bej
tween the three lots that were liber
ally fed. And these yielded fifty per
cent, more than where no manure was
j used. The amount of dry matter upon
which the feeding value of the different
crops depends did not vary

value or composition of corn fodder
was not greatly influenced by tbe
manure, but depends more upoa the

The corn grown on hcg manure got
tweuty-tive per cent, more nitrogen
and four times as much phosphoric

as the plot dressed with cow manure,
but only yielded two per cent, more
dry matter. And the land fertilized
with chemicals yielded within fifteen
per cent, as much as upon manure, although
it received on half as much
nitrogen, one-third as much potash

WHEN TO OPEN THE STLO.
A year ago I began to feed ensilage
November 30, and the year previous
nearly three weeks earlier. Some of
my neighbors begin feeding the very
day that they finish filling the pit, and
I cannot see but they have as tine ensilage
as those who cover the ensilage
nnd let it sweat from three to six
week.". Some ensilage will remain hot
all winter, and some will take cm hardly
heat enough to make the mass settle
as solidly as it should. The truth
is, I have never seen ensilage so
"young'' or so "old" but it could be
fed with perlect safety and satisfaction.
The most perfect cover?next to
none at all ?t have ever had on my
silos is this year. Alter th<i corn wus ,
all in the pit.-, the little about the machine
was run up the surface and scattered
evenly over ttie surface, well
trodden down, and this repented for
three or four days, or uutii it had become
quite moldy. Then we loosened
it up, tread it down, worUiug in a hall
bushel of oat screenings, distributed a
barrel of water evenly over the ensilage
and gave it one morn treading.
The result is that the surface is covered
with this decayed ensilage, nnd j
over it is a lino growth of oats, the
roots of which huvo bound the cover
into a regular fibre blanket. If covers
are needed?which I iitill doubt?this
one is far in tho lead of any I have j
ever had in my ten years o! silo ex- j

contemplate, but there is a great deal
of horso manure eaton by cows. The
beet way after regulating the ration is
to fence off a part of the yard and put
the horse manure in it, or else fence
off the cows. I have heard that ragweed
will cause bitter milk, but as my
cows would never eat it I cannot saj
anything from my own experience op
that score.
For the second cause there is no
cure that I am aware of, and the third
is almost as hard to prevent. Briefly
stated, in its natural state milk after
a certain time gets sour because of the
action of a certain kind of bacteria
whose business it is to make milk sour.
But if these same bacteria are prevented
from getting in their work
owing to com weainer ^iney wont onjy
in warm weather or in a warm temperature),
then nature, which abhors
even a vacuum of bacteria, immediately
Ret3 another gang of bacteria to
work, whose job is to make milk
bitter. And if politicians attended to
their jobs as well as .bitter bacteria do
to theirs we would be much better off,
for it takes much effort to persuade
them to quit work. The remedy is
first to wash with boiling water every
vessel with which the milk or cream
_ L ? v?ii.? _j.:n l
comes hi cumuli, ui, uentu bhu, put
the vessels in boiling water on the
stove for ten or fifteen minutes. This
kills off (ill the bitter bacteria. Then,
to get the eour bacteria to work for a
few days, keep all the milk at a temperature
of seventy degrees, and put
a little sour buttermilk 'in the cream.
This will give the sour bacteria a
chance to get firmly established. Then
do not let the milk get too cold or it
all will have to be done ove:r again. As
two sets of baoteria cannot get along
at the same time, the bitter bacteria
give up the job.?P. B. C., :in National
Stockman.
ALFALFA ON CLAI SO L.
Unless the clay subsoil it: hardpnn,
I see no reason why alfalfa should not
succeed on the ground described,
writes C. L. Stoddard,of Illinois. The
difficulty on such is in obtaining
a stand, the alfalfa making but a
slender growth the first summer and
on shallow soils being especially liable
to destruction by extremes of wet or
drouth. In the spring of 18911 sowed
one bushel of alfalfa seed, putting it
on at the rate of eight quarts per acre
as follows: One-halt acre sowed on
dry upland upon which winter wheat
was growing/ihj latter part of March,
about the time clover is usually sown.
The field was not harrowed or the
I seed covered in any way. This plot
wan a complete failure, only a few
plants appearing. One and one-half
acres of ground recently drilled to
oats was seeded and the seed covered
lightly with a brush. The soil was a
thin gravelly loam with a clay subsoil.
It had formerly been a clover meadow
containing bunches of timothy. The
clover having died out, the field had
become quite foul <vith ragweeds and
foxtail grass. T plot was also a
I failure. A sparer atuud on the dryer
portions of the grounds was choked by
the weeds and grass or killed by hot
dry weather in August.
One and one-half acres were sown
on rich sandy bottom land with clay
subsoil. This was sown with oats in
the Fame manner as the preceding
plot and was partially successful. This
plot was a narrow strip adjoining a
timothy meadow, one end being lower
than the other. On the lower end,
the oats lodged badly and a very poor
stand of alfalfa resulted. On the re
maming three-loarths a gooa stana
was secured, the alfalfa making a fair
growth after the oats were cut. In
connection with the timothy meadow,
it was pastured to some extent late in
the fall, but not closely. It made a
rank growth the next summer, being
cut once only for hay and then pastured
until the following spring, when,
owing to the poor 6tnnd on the end
mentioned, it was plowed up. Anyone
who has ever helc; the plow handles
when breaking an a^alfa sod will
have no doubt of the ability of the alfalfa
roots to penetrate hard soils. It
reminas one 01 oreamag nazeigrouna.
A half acre was sown with oats, as
before described, on apland with red
clay subsoil, the surface soil, a sandy
loam, being fertile, having been
manured for several years. An excellent;
stand resulted. The ground is
occupied by a young pear orchard and
consequently has never been pastured.
It has been cut three or four times
(every summer. This year I began
cutting tae second crop and feeding it
green to my calves just as it was coming
into bloom a month ago, July 1. I
shall finitih cutting the plot this week,
the first of Angust. The little that
remains of the second crop is covered
with pods filled with matured seed but
the stalks and leaves are still fresh and
green. We have had frequent showers
since I began cutting and the third crop
where I first out is ten to twelve inches
high. I shall begin cutting it as Boon
as I am through with tho second.
My experience leads me to believe
thai; alfalfa will catch best sown on
clean ground without other grain, but
would add a sprinkle of ordinary red
clover?one or two quarts of clover to
six of alfalfa for an acre of ground. A
narrow strip on one side of the plot
last described was given a sprinkle of
clover on account of the alfalfa 6eed
running short. The twogrew together
in a friendly way far a year or two but
now tho alfalfa has the field. I intend
to try 6o\viug some next spring on
winter rye, harrowing the ground
thoroughly before and lightly after
sowing. ? American Agriculturist.

A DECADE OF AUOXT.
A Young Lady of East Syracuse Tells Her v
Storv. <
From tr,e Standard, Syracuse, JV. T.
Miss Rosamond Ash, who resides with her
father, Mr. C. S. Ash, on Manlius Street, (
Syracuse, forwards the following testimonial
to the virtues of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills i
and account of Mr sufferings, which is ^
startlingly interesting:
Maxlics Stueet, Syracuse. N. Y.. J
August 16,1896, t
"For the past ten years I have been a o
fearful sufferer from the most painful type 1
of inflammatory rheumatism, which would \
make its appearance on the least possible i
provocation. Winter was when 1 suffered
the worst, and it generally attacked me from
my hips down, and I had to ro to bed.
While these attacks lasted, if anyonetouched
the bed even, I would scream with pain, as
the least contact was unbearable, for every
joint and every muscle gave me excruciating
I atronv.
"WHile I was in th's terrible condition, my
pastor, Rev. Mr. Campbell, came to visit
me. and told me he knew of a case very
similar to mine that had been entirely cured
bv the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for
Pale People and advised me to try them, as
the physicians were not doing me any good.
On this my father bought me two boxps,
which I took according to direction?, and I
began to recover, getting stronger everyday.
I kept on with Dr. Williams' remedy until
I had taken two dozen boxtes. and by that
time every trace of rheumatism was gone,
and I am now as well as ever I was.
"If you have any doubts as to my statement,
I refer you for its confirmation to
Rev. Mr. Campbell, of Hastings, and Mr.
Scriver, of Hastings, the latter b ing Superintendent
of the Methodist Sunday School,
who know all of the facts surrouuding my
extraordinary re.-overy. Pink Pills saved !
mv UfA and rave ma health and strength.
and we will never be without them In our
house.
(Signed) "Rosamond Ash.
"Manlius Street, East Syracuse, N. Y."
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills contain, in a condensed
form, all the elements necessary to
give new life and richness to the blood and
restore shattered nerves. They are also a
specific for troubles peculiar to females, such
as suppressions, irregularities and all forms
of weakness. They build up the blood, and
restore tbe glow of health to pale and sallow
cheeks. In men they effect a radical cure
in all cases arising from mental worry, overwork
or excesses of whatever nature. Pink
Pills are sold in boxes (never in loose bulk)
at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50, and
may be had of all druggists, or direct by
mail from Dr. Williams' Medicine Company,
Schenectady, N. Y.
A "Feather Farm" Idea.
i
Why not have poultry farms for
feathers, as they do ostrich farms,
peacock farmp, parequet farms, even
birds of paradise farms? These latter
are sometimes so buried in their beautiful
plumage that they look as if they
would like to part with some of it,
even to adorn a hat.
This would, in a great measure, stop
this wholesale wicked killing of onr
beautiful song birds and insect-killing
birds. Robins, thrushes, wrens and
many others are not pretty on a hat.
The English sparrow can furnish all
I the small feathers needed, and a pig!
enn farm the next 9ize. Then poultry
| feathers we could bave from the ducks
i and chickens and turkeys that we
. have eaten.?New York Tribune.
