M Why not sometimes combine u:ility Hnd beauty, and plant here and th< re a Bruit tree for ornament? True, variety B the spice of life, and while th).- apHle, pear or peach may be made very Beautiful and useful as well, we also Hke other trees and would by no n: cans ' Hiscard them. The nut trees are also Bel come guests, and there is f bun (ce of room on the ordinary rarm , all*so let us give them all a place . never let this spring pass without j enerous planting of some or all of oq. I wonder if any of us fully re- , e how a slight expenditure of cash ' labor will enhance the real value . tur homes? But this is not all, for higher side of life is thus intensiand developed and this can never reckoned in dollars and cents. The Needs of Poultry. turning that the poultry house is fortable and properly ventilated, yell as kept free from vermin, any ble which the fowls have is due, >ably, to the method o- feeding. jss one is skilled in -feeding and kept up the variety necessary to best results, together with' the ing of green food and animal , 1, there is likely to be a faUing in the egg supply. Possibly the . i are being overfed, and if so this be easily remedied by reducing ration. The chances are, bowevhat the lack of green food is the , ble; to put it in other words, the s have had too much grain. Try ! plan of cutting down their grain i ations abouc one-third (one-half if he fowls are very fat) and making tp the bulk with green food. Feed hem anything in the line of green ( ood obtainable, cabbage, vegetable ops of any sort teat they will ~att mall potatoes, cut green clover, any- j hing that will give them the needed hange, and give their stomachs a hance to rest from the overfeeding ! f grains. Do mis and yon will see ] decided change in the ety produc- , ion after two weeks. Profit* in Pip. A good way is to have pigs come in j lie t-pring montns, ana. mai xuey iua> mjoy plenty to eat, feed the 60ws on raste milk with buckwheat' meal. L sufficient quantity of this should in lue time be put in a shallow trough, et in a separate part of the pen into rhich the pigs,- but not the sow, can ;o. As soon as pasturage is ready hey should be turned out to feed, and >y sowing as early as possible three >ounds of rape per acre on good land, ireferably that which needs summer ollowing, the pigs may be put onto his with excellent results along in the atter part of summer, provided a porion is reserved for recovery after eeding, while the rest is fed down. , tlmw or fnnr nnnrwlfi of pom ? ? ?- -- neal apiece per day, will nicely fatten he pigs while on the last of the rape; i >ut, if so desired, they may be fin- i shed on grain, screenings, corn or i teas and oats ground together. The eeding value of these grains, Includ- i ng barley, is improved by having i hem ground two or three months beore using, only in that case the meal nust be kept dry, and not allowed to leat or get sour. Set in barrels in a lry storeroom is the best place for it -The Epitomist. To Grade a Ditch. To grade any sort of a ditcb, either 'or drainage or irrigation, this simple levice, copied from the Ohio Farmer, s useful. The points of triangle are jxactly sixteen and a half feet apart. Pind centre on the cross bar, then aise one leg of triangle two inches !ronr the level (or whatever fall is 8 )7T~*' ^ (ranted per rod) and the plumb line )n the crossbar will give the grade mark. It will be well to have two marks on the crossbar, the level and :he grade. Botn should be so made is to be easily seen aDd readily distinguished. We must have one of these riangles when we proceed to drain >ur experimental farm. Matins Fowl. In the producing of stock of. all kinds too much care cannot be given to selecting and mating so as to have a product that is an improvement on what you had to produce from. This is especially necessary with poultry. Those who can select of their best and so pair them as to produce better than the parent stock have made an advancement. Thcoe who fail in this are continually reducing the qualit- of their stock or going backward in place |of forward. No matter -or what purpose we may I keep fowls, it should always be our intent to improve them. If keeping them for market eggs. we should mate or pair them, not only to increase the egg yield, but to increase the quality and size of the egg produced a;> well. If you keep Leghorn hens aim to increase the size of tbe hens just a little rather than to a?!ow them to grow Bmaller. With this aim to have pullets that will lay better than did their mother hen. If you gain increase in size of the pullets and add to the number of eggs produced you will then onroiv cnin in size of the ens Dro Iduced. because the increased size of the hens will add cize in proportion to Itfae eggs. "While this is true with Leg borns, it is not always the case with ?och fowls as Cochins and JBrahmas, but it is true that an undersized Legkorn lays a smaller egg than will the larger sized specimen of the same breed within a reasonable -iinit. Those who keep fowls with no set purpose for improvement seldom advance very much, while those who are continually seeking new ways and new methods, through the use of which they may improve, are always gaining in quality and in profit. It is just as easy to go forward as backward in the hen business. There are thousands who make money continually out of their poultry, and there ai;e" just as many who fail with itFeather. Breed ins: Geeie For Profit. It is not generally known that this is an important industry, uhijuu^u not so extensively engaged in as duck raising. There are many places on a farm that are worthless for cultivation that could be utilized with excellent results for goose raising. Fields that have streams, branches or unused springs on them could be turned to good advantage by making them into goose pastures. The care and attention necessary for raising geese is very small when compared with the returns, and the cost of food is also proportionately small in comparison with the cost of food used for other birds bred for market. Geese are long-lived birds, and pr6bably the hardiest of all domestic fowls. Some have been known to attain the age of forty years, while nn jj ^ / bi'vds of fifteen and twenty years of age are not uncommon. They retain their laying and hatching qualities through life. There are seven standard breeds-of geese, as follows: Gray Toulouse, White Embden, Gray African, Brown Chinese, White Chinese, Gray Wild, and Colored Egyptian. The first two named are the most profitable. The Toulouse is termed a Christmas goose, being later in maturing than the others. They are good layers, averaging forty eggs in a season, but j cannot be depended upon to set The I Embden is not so prolific, twenty eggs j in a season being a good average. The , quality of the flesh is highly esteemed. Little outlay is required for build- | ings. Old geese do well in winter witli Bottling in tne way 01 snejier but a shed to run under, and usually they disdain that. In the figure above is shown a single house that may be built at a small cost. It is plain and has a shed roof. Such a house should be built of rough boards, twelve inches by one inch, and joints covered by three-inch and one-inch strips. The roof should be watertight and covered with tarred paper, shingles or tin. I rhe flocr should be raised twelve or eighteen inches from the ground to avoid dampn'ss. While they, are used to water on the out&ide, they must be j given comfortable quarters in which ' to "warm up," or "dry out." A house twelve by fourteen feet will accom- I modaje nicely a flock or six or eight. rhere are no inferior arrangements whatever, simply the floor surface of the building.?Commercial Poultry. | , Poultry PlcltingB. It is a mistake to expect that eggs tvill hatch precisely in twenty-one lays, and others will require twenty- j Qve days for incubation. The causes : are various?such as getting too cold, \ too much heat, lack of moisture, want ' of vitality of either or both cf the pa- j rents, and the age of xhe egg. Pools of stagnant water should not , be allowed to exist 'where hens can , get to them; cover up, fill up or fence ; up. Poultry should have a constant supply of nice, clear, sparkling water. Wash out the drinking vessels frequently, and occasionally put a drop of carbolic acid into the water. An Italian authority finds that when hens are fed on food containing a large percentage of iron the eggs also reveal the presence of iron in toe ve-y ( digestible form of albuminate. Such eggs exert a tonic effect on persons who eat tbem. The case illustrates the fact that all eggs are not alike by any means, and tbat, according to the food fed, they may vary greatlyin dietic value and effect. In constructing a poultry bouse it is best to have its face to tbe southeast. as tbe sun will then send its warmth as soon as it arises. The sun will warm the house until about 3 o'clock in the afternoon in winter. If tbe house faces the south, as is usu ally the custom, the sun's rays will not enter before 0 or 10 o'clock, al- I though the morning is the most iiu- j portant time for receiving the benefit. I The Kear-Platform Ho;, I was born of ignorant parents. Home, in my earliest recollections, was a barn, where I received all the bringing up I ever had. Just Outside of the barn was a pigsty. I studied the pigs zealously. It was J as good as a schooling. At an early age I began to book on ' behind street cars. Those were the influences that made me what I am. Why don't I step forward? Because I haven't brains though to see that there's plenty of room ahead. Because if I had a lot of room to stand in I'd feel lost and unhappy. Eeoause otbei men don't step forward. I have as good a right to the back piatform as the next man. Eecause by standing outside I make it hard for passengers to get on and off. Thus I help create public enmity toward the trolley corporation. Because I once knew the air in the street car to De Dau, ana i aoirt c-are to come into contact with bail tilings.

Natur- E.? ally it is impossible to fix the record c" made by such birds as grouse, quail or snipe when they first arise, but it is safe to say that they are not going one- ; half as fast as the luckless gunner who misses them imagines. With the migratory fowl of known fast flight, .1 such as ducks and geese, something more nearly accurate is known. - ac The green-winged teal is about the Fa speediest of them all. It does some- Sa thing like ninety miles an hour as readily as a sparrow dives into an Sa inviting rainspout. The canvas-back Sa is only a trifle slower, probably eighty. |p five miles being its limit, while vhe ga black duck, red head and mallard fall below this, being timed at about eighty Sa miles.

Russia's desire to extend her trade all parts of the Orient are many td some of them both daring and Irolt. Frequently privileges are obined for her merchants and carats to pass Into or through the coved country for trade; to open stores id banks; to trade at ports and navi,te ?vers; to establish post routes ith their various stations for exange of drivers and horses, and to stall consuls at various places. Consslons are secured for cutting timir or operating mines on certain acts of land and rights are produced hereby Russia and her subjects mt\y ly land and build consulates, stores id factories, and also dwellings for ose who are connected with thit irious enterprises. Rights are aisc )tained or taken to protect the Chrisan subjects of an unchristian governent. Army reconnoitering expeditions are >nt into the country with goods, disjised as merchants, or accompanied 7 a detachment of Cossacks and aiming to be purely scientific expetions. Out of pure generosity con;ssions which when asked for are presented as unimportant, assume eat significance after they are grant1 and are rigorously enforced and eatly expanded. What may pose as legitimate and perfectly harmless isiness arrangement is extended, as ter construed by Russia, to cover ivileges far beyond anything the vicm ever dreamed of. The concesons which Russia extracts from oth"s are rarely accompanied with juivalent or adequate returns, and ore often nothing is granted in exlange. Childhood of Defoe. Sir Walter Besant in his latest book iys of the author of "Robinson Cru>e" and "Journal of the Plague": Defoe was born in the year 1661. His .ther lived in Cripplegate, where, as e know, he had a shop. The child, lerefore, was 4 years of age In the ague year. A child of 4 observes a eat deal and may remember a great ?al. Defoe says: 'When any one Dught a joint of meat he would not ike it cut of the butcher's hand, but >ok it off the hooks himself; on the :her hand, the butcher would not >uch the money, but put it into a pot ill of vinegar which he kept for the nrpose.'
