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.
Mr. Bradley has passed his eighty-fifth
birthday, but is still hale and hearty,
and thorough/ enjoys the prosperity
which hard work has brought him.
The active business has been surrendered
to his sons.?Chicago Tribune.

Eccentric Millionaire*.
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

fifteen years. He hatl a summer place !
at Bridgeport, Conn., but the five-foot j
house was his home for half the year. '
Mr. Richardson's ideas -were some- I
what peculiar, and recall those of the !
late Mr. Faverweather, -who left so !
much money to colleges; but we can- j
not deny him the measure of respect j
which is due to a man who lives out I
his life according to his own prefer- j
ences'instead of patterring after some !
one else. 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. By his will :
he left $50,000 to a clergyman, ?17,500
to the Central Park Baptist Chxirch, j
and the rest of his fortuue to his wife

Guild as Hlval* of Homing Pigeono. j
J. 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

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.?

using dogs for the transmission of messages
and more especially as protectors
of advanced outposts and isolated sentries.
The dogs are deployed in fighting

forward to the skirmishes, taking with
them supplies of cartridges placed in

the conveyance of messages the dogs are

Whole Wheat vs. Bran.
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

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.

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

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...

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.

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. It is

cow's milk, in order to observe its
quality. A label and method of attachment
is shown in the cut. 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

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

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

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.

A Toad ae a Talisman.
The Western Morning News reports
a remarkable case of superstition. A
young woman in Penzance had suf1
fered from fits, and she adopted a
J remedy -which would be to most peojr
pie almost as repulsive as the disease
itself. She procured a live toad, placed
it in a bag, hung it around her neck
9 and carried it next her body! The
J woman was cured of her fits, but she
0 was being medically attended at the
? Penzance Infirmary at the same time.
The woman believes, however, that
t this was a coincidence, and that her
' strange talisman was the instrument
1 of her cure.?South "Wales Daily News,

the moving spirit in forming the combination
