The Oldest Vlowmaker. Chicago has the oldest plo-wmaker in the United States. His name is David Bradley, and he is at the head of a big manufacturing company on the "West Side. Mr. Bradley first worked at the business in Syracuse, N. Y., in 1832. In 1835 he came to Chicago, which then numbered 2500 1 inhabitants and a camp of several thousand Indians, to help erect the first iron foundry established here. Mr. Bradley "was the first man to brine: pig-iron into Chicago. In connection with the foundry which he helped to build was a machine shop, and the establishment soon began along with its other business the manufacture of plows. Mr. Bradley by the growth of his business was finally forced to build a little town of his own, which i? known as Bradley, HI.

Mere money-making seems not to j have satisfied Barney Barnato. He | wanted to have the fun of spending j money, too, and to enjoy everything it j would buy. His taste in this par- j ticular is in vivid contrast to that of j the late Mr. Joseph Richardson, of j New York, who died June 8, leaving a j fortune estimated at thirty milllions. j He was about eighty-three years old, ! and his long life had apparently been i passed very much to his satisfaction. | He was a contractor of great energy 1 and diligence, and laid the foundations of his fortune in that calling. He was a millionaire when the Civil War , began, and as long as he lived he kept ; on earning more money, and investing j his gains with excellent judgment. He \ built water-works, railroads and many j great buildings, and was very proud of j some of his professional exploits; but ! the work for which he was most famous was the erection of a four-story house on a five-foot strip of land at the northwest corner of Lexington avenue and Eighty-second street. He j happened to own that little strip of i land. A man who had planned to build a block adjoining it offered him S1000 for his holding. He wanted $5000, and failing to get it, concluded i to build himself a house, which he did i on/-1 in if fnr ! V CI J UliVt 11 T v/v* A? *w - w- , fifteen years.

He liked to make money, I and he made a great deal; he liked to i save money, and he saved nearly all j he made; lie did not enjoy spending money, so he spent little.

G. Thompson, the well-known j surveyor ana tnriny rancner at :uouo } Lake, has been making some interest- | ing experiments. Last year he ob- ( tained two dozen gull eggs from one of i the islands in the lake and placed them j under hens to hatch, fifteen young ! gulls or gullets being the result, the ' homliest things that ever-wore feathers ! ?all legs, bills and squawk." They ! matured and became very tame, feed- I ing with the other fowls and showing ! no inclination to fly away. From careful observation of the habits of these migratory birds, thousands of wnich visit the lake every year, he had come to the conclusion that as messengers they might prove equal or superior to carrier pigeons, and resolved to demonstrate it. The first experiment was made two weeks ago, when two birds were set free about sixty miles south of Mono Lake. In a little more than an hour they were back at the ranch, feeding as usual. The success of the first venture was so marked that he made arrangements for further tests. Two birds were sent to San Francisco and another pair to Independence, in Inyo J.-** Via of o narfoin limo UUUil tj, IU Ut IIUW4 uv ? vv* vu?u MUVI It is about 175 miles on an air line from Mono Lake to the bay, and about ninety miles from Independence, from which latter place the birds returned in less than two hours. The pair that were turned loose in San Francisco arrived at the ranch in four and a half hours from the time they were liberated, showing a greater speed than that of the homing pigeon. The gull is a strong and swift flyer. When he ! has pressing engagements he thinks J nothing of shoving forty or sixty miles j an hour behind him, and for a long distance he is the toughest kind of a stayer. Mr. Thompson is considerably elated over the results of his experiments, which he will continue, believing that the gull as a messenger bird is far superior to the pigeon.? California Territorial.

Whilst#the Germans are making the best use of pigeons the Russians are using dogs for the transmission of messages and more especially as protectors of advanced outposts and isolated sentries. The dogs are deployed in fighting order, and at a given signal bound forward to the skirmishes, taking with them supplies of cartridges placed in little saddles.

At tlie rates at -which wheat bran always sells for in spring we believe ] it is quite as profitable for feeding to : buy wheat and have it ground whole without bolting. If this makes too i heavy a feed some more bran added to keep it from cloying the stomach, or perhaps some oats ground with the wheat, may be added. Yet for the nutrition afforded the whole wheat ground makes a cheaper feed than does the V>vor> n-nrl fnr ViofVi liorsps and cows it can be safely fed -without hay, cu?, cornstalks or cut straw. ? Feeding Pigs Regularly. Much depends in feeding pigs on giving their food at regular intervals. Then the pig -will very soon become used to this, and will not expect his food until the next regular feeding time comes. The old saying that a squealing pig loses a pound of fat every time it squeals has this much of truth in it, that the irregular times for feeding -which occasion most of the squealing is the surest way to destroy digestion. This in pigs is not so strong as is often supposed. The pig is greedy by nature. Others must see to it that it does not eat more nor oftener than is good for it. To Wreak Up a Sitting: Hen. It is so natural for the hen to sit after continuous laying until her egg supply is temporarily exhausted that we used when keeping hens to let them have their own way generally and bring off their broods. One of the most beautiful eights in the farmyard is the mother hen watching her little brood, calling them to a favorite morsel, or uttering the warning cry which every little chick understands when some strange object above her gives the alarm. A piece of newspaper blown by the wind is to the hen's imagination a dangerous bird of prey. While the hen is sitting, if she is fed and watered twice a day she is probably recovering her strength and bringing forward another lot of eggs quite as fast as she would be if running at large. It really does the hen good to raise her little family, and with the Asiatic breeds we doubt whether you will lose any eggs by it. The trouble is that while the hen is sitting she is usually partly starved, and so it takes longer for her to recover. If fed only wheat with plenty of pure water, and in separate dish the curd of milk, Plymouth Rock hens will often begin to lay eggs while kept in the coop with chicks too small to care for themselves. Yet it is not hard to prevent the hen from sitting if you want to. Place the hen in a coop where she can have no place to make a nest, and with a young rooster from another pen, if possible. After a few days of this treatment, giving only water and wheat grains, the hens may be turned out and will soon go to laying again.?Boston Cultivator. A Handy Garden Cart.

Growing Fall Turnips. Where the land is fresh and free from the seeds of foul weeds, fall turnip seed may be sown broadcast from the first of July until the middle of August, depending on the season, and covered with a light smoothing or brush harrow. Prepare the land very carefully and pulverize and compact the seedbed thoroughly. New ground the second year from sod gives best results. The soil is then rich in plant food and in good tilth. A piece of sod ground broken during the summer and seeded to wheat in the fall makes an excellent turnip field the fr?l 1 atvinrr imaenrt offnv l>no been harvested. Ordinarily sucWand will not produce a sufficient number of weeds to interfere with the full development of the turnips. Four or five pounds of seed to the acre will give about the right stand. In sections of the country where new land is not available, truck patches from which early vegetables have been removed will answer admirably. Often wheat land is plowed as soon as the gain has been removed ami seeded to turnips. The ground must be rich, for turnips are gross feeders, but soil containing an excess of vegetable matJ... :il Li. P ier win cause au excessive growm 01 tops, to the detriment of root development. A cool, moist climate is very favorable to the growth of turnips and for this reason tlie seed should be put in late if the season is dry, then most of the growth will take place in fall. While broadcasting answers very well on new land, the best results are obtained only when sown in rows and cultivated. Have the rows about two feet apart aad the plants anywhere from six to twelve inches apart in the row. Give level culture, keep the land free from weeds and stir the surface often. Turnios are a valuable winter feed for sheep and cattle, particularly the former. When fed to unlk cows give just after milking. Otherwise the milk may be given an unpleasant odor and the butter an undesirable taint. They must not be fed in excess to any stock but when other succulent feeds cannot be fed, turnips are invuluable. ?American Agriculturist. 3IPP1 Marking the Milk. Where the milk is set in shallow pans it is wise to mark each day's milk, as "Tuesday morning," "Tuesday night," etc. In this way one can see at a glauce just when to skim, and does not ha re to stop to reckon up the number of pans used each day.

A strip of pasteboard has its end bent over and wire inserted as 6hown. The fold is glued down, thus holding the wire. Bend the double wire and hang it over the pan's edge. High Farminc on Cheap I^nd. The greatest difficulty in the way of good farming in this country has always been that prices of land were so low that those engaged in farming have been tempted to buy more land than they could profitably work. ' There should always be an amount of working capital equal to at least half of what is invested in land. This should be done even though the land be only partly paid for. It is much better to leave a part of the cost of land put in a mortgage whose interest can be mpt every year, than to pay all the money down and leave nothing to work the land with. In a great majority of cases it is the floating capital, rather than that invested in land, which payg the greatest rate of profit. Farmers have been complaining for years that the merchant, who makes ten to twenty-fiv6 per cent, on his merchantable stock, has the advantage of them. They are tied to their farms, and like the man holding fast by the wolf's tail, cannot, safely, let go, while it takes all their energies to simply hold on and prevent the wolf from turning and rending them. On high-priced laud near cities zaoitt of the hich-nriced farm stock is kep'5. It is usually far more profitable than the stock of the merchant, for that, e3> cept in case of a change in the markets, cannot increase in value, and is much more likely to decrease. The merchant's stock cannot increase in amount as can that of the breeder. To be sure, th?3 breeder has losses by casualties to animals, but these are fully offset if not more by the bad debts that the merchant accumulates on his ledger. If the breeder manages rightly his stock may be made to increase with its product thirty to more than one hundred per cent. There is no kind of busings so safe from loss, other than farming, that pays so well as this. Why then is it that so many farmers are poor? It is because they trust too much to their land to sustain them without having the capital to make the best use of it. Most low-priced land iB so because it is far from market; that may make such land unsuitable for growing the lancy breetis ol stocn tnat can usuany i only be sold by having those "who intend purchasing visit the farm and inspecting Btock on the ground. Yet when a farmer is known to have an extra good class of stock he will find customers for it, even if they do find it not very convenient to visit and inspect it There is no mrer way to make the farm richer than to use it for stock-breeding purposes. If the fertility is put into the soil, there need be no fear that some means will be found for making it profitable. It was the virgin and fertile soils of the Northwest that attracted settlement from all parts of the world. Increase fertility anywhere and the laud will never lack purchasers.?American Cultivator. Horse Hints. Being gentle with a horse will help him to be gentle. Keep the colt fat and he will make an easy-going horse. Sores on horses' shoulders are largely the result of ill-fitting collars. An excess of food" weakens a working animal and disables it from work. If young teams are overloaded they are apt to become discouraged or vicious. Take the 1 orse to the harness shop and see thav a collar fits him before you buy it. To a very considerable extent the most costly fanning is that done with poor 1 earns. The farmers will always be poor who continue to raise $50 horses at an e cpense of ?100. Bloo'd, food, care and training are the essentials necessary for producing a first-class horse. There are few diseases to which horses are subject but are easier prevented thnu cured. Good grooming does not only add to the animal's comfort, but to its healthfulness as well. The best farm horse is the one with a kind and tractable disposition, well broken and serviceable. Feeding a little wheat btan -with tb*{ other grain will help to make tho horse's hair sleek and glossy. The feed and care necessary to raise a poor horse costs as much in every way as it does for one of the best. A horse needs exercise every day to keep his system properly regulated and make his hair bright and sleek. When the horse is brought in from work he should be given a good drink; if too warm to drink he is too warm to eat.
