Dogs and tho Nations. Newly completed returns show that France holds thc European record with 2,864,000 registered dogs, which is equal ko seventy-five per thousand inhabitants. Ireland comes next with seevnty-three per thousand, then England with thirty eight, Germany with thirty-one and Sweden with eleven. France has gained but two million in its human population in more than half a century. Ireland struggles and dwindles under discontent, denationali zation, oppression and emigration. Yet these two countries so lead the rest in thc possession of Tray, Fido, Bruno and their kind that practically there is no second. Germany had two million less population than France in 1845. Now she has 56.000,000 people to France's 38,000.003, but her proportion of dogs to persons is" much less than half than in the republic across the Rhine. Rock Oil From the Ocean Bed.

Aborigines Have a Language Learned From the Famous Birds. Unique in one respect are the aborig ines of the Canary Islands as described by an anthropologist who has been study ing them. He finds that instead of using words and syllables for the purpose of conversing with one another they are wont to whistle like birds, neigh like horses and bellow like bulls. This pan thropologist is M. O'Shea, and the story of his discover)' has post appeared in the Bulletin of the "Biarritz Association." It was from these islands that the an cestors of Ihe canary birds originally came. It is the notes of these birds which the natives of the islands, who are known as Gomeros, cleverly imitate when they desire to converse. In Paris and other cities criminals have a regular code of signals, in which whistling plays its part, and which is used for the pur pose of misleading the police. The Gom eros, however, have developed the art of whistling to the dignity of a regular language. Just as birds expr?s by their songs their varied sentiments, so the Gomeros, by whistling and piping like the birds, can relate to each other all the news of the hour and convey any im pressions and ideas that they may desire. A stranger wandering over the islands is frequently surprised to hear on a nearby hilltop the sound of loud whis { tiing, which is quickly repeated on the next hill until it dies away in the dis tance. It is the natives conversing about the events of the day, such as the arrival of the latest ship, thc number of her pas sengers, the weather prospect and so on. Though they have no newspapers, the Gomeros are as eager for the latest news as the most civilized persons, and they whistle it to each othe: with? amazing celerity and accuracy. No sooner, indeed, does a foreigner j appear on the islands than a full de scription of him is flashed in this way from one end of the country to the other. At a distance it is impossible to dis tinguish between a whistling Gomero and a singing canary, but the nearer one approaches to a Gomero thc less marked does this resemblance become. Thc Gom ero never ceases to imitate the canary, but at the same time he whistles with such power and intensity that thc sound almost deafens those who are unaccus tomed to it and who suddenly hear it near them. Yet this sound is soft and melodious compared with other sounds, which the Gomeros also make. Being high spirited and proud, they frequently desire to ex press exultation or triumph or some other strong sentiment, and on such oc casions they either neigh like horses or bellow like bulls. Thus they use not only a main language, which is de rived from the songs of birds, but also two dialects, which horses and bulls havf taught them.

In this respect it is much more productive than rye, oats or some other grain crops that are cut green, ond it is also superior to such as food. C*0rn for soiling is more productive* than clover, but not so nutritious. Lime on tho Manure Heap. In order to quickly decompose ma nure some farmers use lime in the heap, which soon reduces the heap, but with the liability of loss of ammo nia. If lime is used, and the heap kept damp with soapsuds or water, ther?? will not be so great a loss of ammo nia as when the mass is dry and heats rapidly. It ls not a good plan, how ever, to use lime in the heap at any time. rennin? Sheep on Small Areas. For many years it has been known that by penning*sheep on small areas the land will rapidly improve in fer tility. A case has been mentioned In which a Georgia farmer penned 50 sheep for 20 nights on an acre of land with the result that his yield of cotton was more than double the next year. The penning of sheep on small plots is a regular practice in England, the farmers in many cases depending upon sheep almost exclusively for Improv ing their soils. Modern Ment-mnklng. The great heavy bullocks and thick sided porkers that were once such fa vorites are now not desirable. They have given place to the young, quickly grown animals. In order to avoid ari excess of fat an animal must be con tinuously grown. If it is reduced to a mere shadow during the winter months and then the following season allowed its freedom on the rich rango grass of the west it will lay on too much fat and not enough meat. Tal low is not what is wanted; lt is meat that the present generation desires. The eastern feeders are fully aware of that fact, fer they never allow an ani mal to stop growing from birth until it reaches the slaughter house. They will cultivate the taste of the meat eaters to such a degree that it will force those who cannot procure suffi cient feed to keep their animals in good flesh through the winter, to sell them at weaning time-P. P. Mallory, in New England Homestead. Co!d Storn~e. There arc many times that cold stor age has proved a failure by reason of the fruit stored having been too ripe before it, was put in. Decay quickly follows perfect maturity with many sorts, especially in windfall or bruised fruits, and its progress can only be checked by absolute freezing, and when this ls done the decay follows the thawing so rapidly that the fruit is rotten almost as quickly as thawed out. When the fruit is not quite ripe the cold, even if not at a freezing tem perature, retards the ripening, which begins when the fruit is brought to a warmer atmosphere. This will explain some cases where fruit does not keep well in cold storage and is equally ap plicable to other products, as-, meats, .^poultry.. eggs aniL.hutten_.Tf thpy-axo t?o ripe, or decay bas begun to set in, ice will not save them-any more than sait would. That which is jn good con dition to keep for days in an ordinary temperature may be kept for weeks or months where the temperature is but a little above freezing, and when taken out will keep as long afterward as it would have done before it was put in. f uinmnr Kloworinjr Bn'b*. For summer flowering there is noth ing better than the old gladiolus in its countless new and improved colors. It thrives in any garden and is little troubled with insects; though grass hoppers sometimes find its g?y colored petals a delectable food. The bulbs are easily cared for in winter, wrap ping in paper and placing in a frost proof closet being the only requisite. Some of the hardier sorts may be left in the ground from year to year, though bulbs thus treated will un doubtedly in time deteriorate in qual ity. They may be raised from seed, an infinite variety being thus obtained. While they generally bloom the sec ond summer, unless one values thc pleasure of experimenting and the chance of securing some rare prizes more highly than their time, the pur chase of mature bulbs at present prices will be found more satisfactory. There is a great range In color and an endless variety of markings which rendar the opening of each spike a pleasant surprise. This season a prom inent firm advertises a snow white one among their novelties. While those nearly white are common all thus far produced have some slight flakes or tinges of color and a pure white variety will surely prove popu lar. They are fine cuttings, especially for cemetery decoration, where the tall spikes commencing to bloom at the base, continue daily to put forth new blossoms until the terminal bud is opened. The faded flowers CIOBO and are not unpleasantly obtrusive, even when not removed. This trait makes the flower admirable for cutting where daily supervision is impracticable. These plants, for a number of years favorites among city gardeners, have but recently found their way to any extent among rural homes. The foli age is handsome and the flowers much larger and of more brilliant colors than those of other brgonias. They remain in bloom for days, and the blossoms when they finally drop, are fresh as when first opened. It is a favorite for summer blooming in either porch or conservatory, while for bed ding it bids fair, if sheltered from the hot sun and winds, to rival the old ge ranium. The colors vary from white to yellow, pink, intense scarlet and bright crimson, and the flowers often measure from four to six inches across. Give light, rich soil in summer, and in winter pack in pots of dry earth and keep free from frost. How could a plant be more modest and obliging in its demands?-Bessie L. Putnam, in Agricultural Epitomist. Tho (Ultlv?i ion of 1?liney Tomaroo*. Tomatoes are OL' the easiest culture, growing in armost auy sort of soil and with any kind of half neglect Last summer I gathered from a bed of 50 piants a bushel of ripe tomatoes at one picking, none of which weighed under a pound and many weighed as much as 1 1-2 pounds. Use what soil you have, but a rich, deep sandy loam is the best. Be sure that it ls well drained, either artificially or naturally. Select a sunny spot, and If it is sunny only the first half of the day so much the better. Scatter ashes over the land about as thick as you would sand a floor. Spade or plow this in. Now put on a heavy coat of rotted cow or bog manure and plow lt in. Rake off the land, breaking all clods and check, off the hills to stand five feet each way. Incorporate into each hill a good shovelful of fine, well rotted manure ot same lot just used lor top dressing. Now carefully lay to one side the soil and manure, at each check making a hole two feet square and the depth of the soil, and thoroughly spad? and' break up the subsoil. Throw the soil taken out back into the hole and you are now ready for the plants. Tastes differ as to varieties, some' liking the seedy acid sorts and some.1 the large, sweet kinds. Having se- : lected the variety you prefer get plants that are nearly in blossom and open ; up each hill from north to south with a hoe, in such a way as to make tho south end about six inches deep and the north end even with the surface. In making this hole be sure to draw your hoe from the north to the south. Now lay your plant with Its head to " the north, cover the' roots, water plen tifully and go on to the next, and so on to the end of the row. Return on the row and fill the holes with the dry soil so that only about three inches of vine is out of the ground. Thus the plant will form a fine lot of roots on cither side, along its buried stem, will not be blown about by the wind and can easily be covered in case of late frosts. Now insert poles into the ground, one at the head of each plant, and standing fully six feet out of the ground. The poles should be stout and should go down not less than 15 inches. Train your vines to these poles cutting off all branches just beyond tho first upward shoot, and have only one main vine to each pole. Work and keep clean, same as any other vegeta ble until plant begins to bloom. Pick off all Ill-shaped fruit as lt appears and when your tomatoes are ripe they will be a sight for sore eyes.-W. W., Walker, in American Agriculturist rorHMznrR In thc Spring. The season for the application of fertilizers is at hand, and much de pends upon the judgment of the farm er in selecting the kinds required. No farmer who ls unacquainted with the requirements of crops or the nature of fertilizers should attempt to pur chase for himself without the advice of some experienced person or through consultation with some reliable dealer or manufacturer. Manufacturers who have reputations to sustain will gladly advise each and every farmer in regard to purchases, as it does nc pay the manufacturer if the farmer buys some particular brand that is unsuitable for the crop to be grown. It Is possible that there are persons who will sell thc farmer anything that ?he demands, whether adapted for the purpose de sired or not, If a cale can be made, but such persons do not engage In a legitimate business, and injure their trade as well as create distrust of fer tilizers; but the manufacturers of fer tilizers have been placed under strict laws that protect the farmers, every purchaser having the privilege of for .warding camples to the state chemist for his examination. Dealers are usu ally well known in their communities, and their trade depends upon the pat ronage of thc farmers. At the present time the farmer is safe in buying fer- j tillzers of any reliable party, as he will receive just what he orders; -but the main point in the procurement of fer tilizers is that a large number bf farmers do not know ~what they want difficulty that must be met by the man ufacturer, as well'as the farmer. The fact that the real substances de sired by farmers are not expressed or understood is a serious drawback. For instance, a farmer will order a ton o? nitrate of soda. He really desires to purchase nitrogen, the soda possess ing little or no vulue for his purpose. As nitrate of soda contains about 16 percent of nitrogen, a ton of 2000 lbs. will contain 320 pounds of nitrogen. A ton of sulphate of potash will contain about 1000 pounds of pure potash. If the ingredients of the fertilizers are to be equal then one ton of sulphate of potash will balance a little more than three tons of nitrate of soda. In the use of these materials, however, thero can be no fixed proportions for all kinds of crops, as some crops will take more potash than others, some prefer an abundance of nitrogen, and some will demand a greater supply of phos phoric acid. These "complications" and "formulas" are very puzzling to inexperienced farmers, and the manu facturer is compelled to make various brands in order to supply proper plant foods for the several crops. The farm er who simply orders "phosphate" or "guano" is at a disadvantage, as guano is but little used at the present day, while "phosphate" applies to only a single ingredient of a fertilizer, and it may be the very article which he does not so largely require. A great mauy farmers refuse to purchase fertilizers because they have heretofore used them with unsatisfactory results; but the cause of failure Is usually due to the farmers not buying the proper kinds. The difference between "phosphate" and "superphosphate" ls that the lat ter has been acidulated. That is, 100 pounds of bone or rock has been treat ed with about 100 pounds of sulphuric acid, which renders the phosporic acid soluble. It will be Been, there fore, that 100 pounds of superphos phate contains only about 50 pounds of sulphuric acid (chemically combined with the lime of the bone or rock), but the price of the acid is included, hence the purchaser receives only one-half of the phosphate. The sulphuric acid is of no value to the farmer, but it serves to make more valuable the phosphoric acid of the phosphate (bone or rock), the original phosphate being in an in soluble and inert condition. The un acidulated phosphate is of no use to the farmer as plant food until it has slowly given off Its particles in the soil, which may reauire several years. Some farmers purchase the raw mate rials and mix them in the proportions required. Such work requires the UBe of acid and must be done In a man ner to have the ingredients intimately mixed. This cannot be done properly with a shovel and sand screen, as fre quently suggested by enthusiastic writ ers, for the reason that the materials are not always fine, some being lumpy, whilo thc moistuie of the atmosphere must also be considered. At the fac tories expensive and heavy machinery must be employed and mechanical mix ers work the substances together for hours. If such did not happen, the in gredients in the bags would not be uniform and the aualyses would vary. In fact, with all the improved appli ances used, it is very difficult to mix the quantities for two bags exactly alike. However, if farmers prefer to mix the raw materials they must de cide to use the best, employ experi enced laborers and be willing to de vote much labor to the work.-Phila delphia Record; . : wi! HS COUNTESS VON WALDERSEE. An American Woman Who is the Aunt of the Cerman Empress. The Woman's Home Companion con tains an article by Mabel Percy Haskell bf how the daughter of a New York [' grocer, by her good sense and tact, has risen to almost a royal position in the German Empire : "There are many American women who have become noblewomen, but there is only one who has ever became aunt to an empress-the Countess von Wald ersee; and she not only holds that ex cellent position, but is also distinguished as being the only American woman who ever became a princess in her own right quite aside from any title acquired by marriage. The Countess is really thc Princess of Nocr, this title having been conferred upon her by thc Emperor of Austria many years ago. "Few people in this country know the romantic and remarkable life-story of this American princess, who has never returned to her native land since I she left it forty-five years ago, then a young girl in Ihe glory of her beauty and first youth. She has been so closely I associated with thc exclusive life of thc j high nobility of Berlin that Americans traveling or at borne, could not knew of the American woman who is ac I knowledgcd to be almost a power behind I thc German throne. "This remarkable woman, although the j daughter of a New York grocer, mar ried successively a royal personage and a scion of one of thc most exclusive I families of the proud German nobility. She frankly used her influence to bring about the marriage of the present Ger man Emperor and lier niece, and has proven herself to be a most remarkable match-maker. Her husband holds one I of the highest positions at court because of her influence, and he was sent to China at her request. Thus she is really one of the most brilliant and interesting women of the century, but the fact that she lives m Germany makes it impos sible for the English-speaking world to have a true knowledge of her power and achievements; for, although a woman's influence may be very great and far reaching in Germany, her personality is always hidden, the 'new woman' and 'women's rights' being utterly unknown I quantities in thc Kaiser's domain."

The con versation in some way drifted to Will iam H. Crane and his interpretation of the role of "The Senator." It brought out a story of how Crane put thc finish ing touches upon his great character study. "As you well know," said one of thc group, "Crane took his character almost directly from Senator Plumb of Kan?as. Crane had just started out with "The Senator," and had opened in Washing ton. We had* all seen the performance and liked it immensely. But I thought I saw one defect. Crane wore a high silk hat, which was not at all according to my thinking, in keeping with his imi tation of Plumb, who always wore the characteristic broad-brimmed felt hat of the southerner. One evening, when Crane, Ingalls, Plumb and myself hap pened to be dining together, I remarked to Crane about the ma^cr of thc high hat. "You really ought not to wear it, for it is not in keeping with the character," said I. "You ought to wear one like Plumb's." "Crane did not say much in answer, but when wc arose from the table he reached out for Plumb's hat, and calmly put it on. Leaving his own hat for Plumb. Crane went off down the street, with thc old felt affair jammed down over his forehead. Thc Senator was too surprised to offer objection. Thc next night Crane appeared on the stage with Plumb's hat on his head, and thereafter wore; it at every performance.-IVash xnctnn Tiwrs.
