Standing amid a clump of Arab mud huts -where the horses are still of native strain, and the men still use matchlocks inlaid with Arabesques, one might figure a mighty whirlwind of the desert until It could carry no more and collapsing, ; finally, on the site of the ancient city. But in that huge mound are tunnels "" leading in and down, and deep rifts I and pits and projecting walls of ancient cities, and platforms of baked clay, and If atone stairways up which to-day hundreds of Arab porters are carrying baskets of sand. From the summit of the pile one can look afar off to the sun just gleaming above the horizon of the twentieth century, and then walk slowly down toward the beginnings of civilization. Walk as slowly as you may, and at the first dozen steps of descent you have passed the level of the Christian era. The baked clay to the right of you was placed there by Ashurbanapal, king more than 600 years before Christ A few steps further and " at your feet are the markings of Kadashman-Turgu 1400 B. C.

Evidence of all this is found stamped on the tablets and vases which are being unearthed today from the ruins of Calneh.

It is a notable fact that many horses are fed costly hay for roughage when cheaper straw or fodder would prove equally satisfactory. In relative value for horse feediug, the straw ranks in the following order: Oat, barley, wheat, rye?the last named being of slight utility. Potatoes and live. Potatoes do excellently well upon land where a crop of green rye has beeu plowed in, being usually very free from scab, fair and smooth. Early potatoes can bo takou off in time to sow rye, which will make growth enough to furnish a good fail pasture or a spring pasture for cattle or sheep, aud then it may bo plowed under in season to plaut potatoes agaiu or some other lator crop. We do not like the idea of growing two crops of potatoes on the same land for two years in succession, but there are many other crops which would follow well after the rye was plowed in, aud nearly all crops can be taken off in time to sow rye after them, which will be large enongh to plow finder in the spring. But do not trust to the rye alone as a fertilizer, but use it as an addition to the other fertilizer applied. llapo mb a Food Crop. We have not yet seen a single unfavorable statement about rape from auy who have tested it as food for sheep, hogs or poultry, aud that is more tliau we can say for any of the new forage crops, as vetch, sorghum, brome grass, kaffir corn or any of the rest While some praise them very highly, others find some fault,or have failed to iuduce them to grow well upon their soil. But rape seems to j grow anywhere that cabbages or turnips will grow, and to do nearly as well, whether sown in the shade of an i i ii.. ~^ orcuarci as one in mo u^eu uom, ?uu very nearly as well upon a light soil decently manured as on the most fertile fields of the prairie. We hope our readers will try it this year if they have anything to feed it to. It may not prove as good fodder as the corn crop,but it is worthy of trial.?American Cultivator. One Wuy to 1'lant Tea*. With the wheel hoe furrows were made '* 1-2 feet apart and five or six iuches deep by plowing twice in the same furrow. The peas were then drilled in by hand, using one quart of j seed to 150 feet of row, and covered j by reversing tho plows to turn in, running through each furrow and covering the peas two to three inches deep, and walking on the rows behind the plow to firm aud compact the soil over the seed. The rows were made o 1-2 feet apart that early sweet corn could be plauted between every other two rows of peas,leaving a clear space between each two rows to facil- , itate picking. After covering, a shallow trench was left about three inches deep and eight inches wide. As the pens grew < this was gradually filled level by cul- j tivatiou. Cultivation was begun as j ' soon as the peas were up, by going I through the rows with a cultivator and i followiug the cultivator,with the rakes j at tho first cultivation and subsequent- < lv once a week thereafter. The crop was cultivated three times a week, until the peas were in full bloom, keeping tho soil constantly stirred to a sufficient depth, smooth and free from weeds. ?0. P. Eyiugtou, in New England Homestead. Clearing Fields of Stones. In the first place, when clearing a field of stones, pick up all on top before plowing the field, and when breaking sod have a man with a pickax follow the plow and pick up1 all that are in sight. If a subsoil plow is used, it would be a good plan to pick after that, too. Throw the stones in small ! piles and it will be easier to haul them off later. i Our method has been to never plow i down any stones if we could possibly find time to haul them off, and by j i taking one field at a time, cleaning j that as much as possible by picking before plowing aud after harrowing, once or twice, the farm will soon bo clear of all stones. The boulders we dispose of in various ways. One is to - dig out a hole at one side of them so i deep that they will sink out of the , way for the plow, throwing the dirt , back over them again. Another is to i twitch them out of their hole with the 11 team and haul them away, burying j them in the covered drains or using ,! them in stone walls. On our farm we have found that all boulders stand deepest on the southwest side and shallowest on the opposite side. We dig the soil away on I . the deepest side enough to got a chain ! ! on it and place the team facing the I northeast, and out comes the rock ' j when the team starts,unless the chain ' ! slips.

T. Lundvall, in ; American Agriculturist Preparing for the Honey Harvest. -! In getting a colony of bees ready p for the honey harvest, one should - know what plants will furnish pollen and nectar in abundance, and when tliey usually are ready for the bees to work upon. It usually takes worker bees about 37 days from the egg uutil they are ready to fly out to gather honey, though they will go out at an earlier age sometimes if tlio colony is weak aud the stores low. This is like the sending of children out to earn their living when very young; it may seem necessary under some circumstances, but it is neither well for the children nor profitable to the paseuts in the end, if they can sustain life in auy other way. Then the time to begin to feed the bees to stimulate brood raisiug is best pla od at 37 days, before the IJAAtwin/* /\f finii'iirc nv a lift! A ^IVUiUlU^ ui lug liVii l/J W4 ?? a.v..w more, that there may be plenty of l>ees to go at work when the honey i3 ready for them. If the seasou is delnyed beyoud the expected time, keep up the feed in?, and if the combs get well tilled with brood stoics, put on a super with frames of empty comb, or full sheets of foundation, and let the queen go up there to start more brood. ]f one can get a double hivo in this way well tilled with brood, he may ex} ect not only a strong swarm from it, but more than one or two crate* of sect ous or frames above it well tilled with honey. It is in this way and by feeding wheu the honey How slackens, and by good care at all times, that sonio are able to get JO ) pounds of honey or more from each colony. In this way the eight-frame hive can bo made practically a 1C-frame hivo, with bees enough in it, and it will not send out but one swarm or should not be allowed to do so. If more increase is desired allow them to send out a second swarm, which they are likely to do if the colony is strong and queen cells a?e not destroyed, then hive the new swarm in the upper box with the brood and comb that may be there, and have the lower hive on the old stand with supers to build comb in.?Boston Cultivator. Tood Jpjur'n<j the ltntter. In the spring and summer cows will often "wander into low iiclds and swamps and eat weeds aud wild plants that jifleet the taste of the butter. There is sometimes a strong odor to it and again a decide.lly bitter taste. Tl,ic iq firsf iintioonhla ill thfl lllilk aud cream, and the process of churning does not eliminate the trouble. Tbc only sure way to prevent such odors and disagreeable taste in the butter in summer is to root out all weeds and noxious plants from the pasture. If the latter is in a run down condition where weeds* thrive and grass dies, it will be pretty hard to make the food of the cows good enough to produce excellent milk and cream. It will pay better in such cases to reut more aud better pasture fields, and sow the old one with new seed aud fertilize it well. Most tainted and bitter summer butter comes from farms where the cows aro pastured on worn out grass fields. Iu the winter time, however, the dairymen cannot remedy matters so easily. The trouble comes from -the food, but the latter is in the form of hay, which cannot well be separated so that the weeds can be taken out. Where weods of a disagreeable odor have been harvested with the hay the cows will often produce inferior and bitter butter all winter. In purchasing bay for winter feed the dairymen rnns quite a risk iu buying weeds that will do more harm than the food will do good. But it is not always the weeds that taint butter. One may be as careful aud particular as possible in harvesting the hay crop, and yet find himself making butter with a decidedly bitter flavor. The cause of this is sometimes quite difficult to ascertain. Iu my own experience I have found that a large diet of clover hay invariably affects tli8 butter injuriously. No matter how choice the clover hay may be, it will cause the butter to have a bitter taste if fed iu any large amount continuously through the wiuter. If fed in small quantities with other hay and feod and with plenty of ptimpkius aud roots, there will be 110 appreciable injury done to the butter. But clover bay is not a Rood diet for milk cows. It has really little usefulness for the dairyman. It would pay him better if it was all turned uuder the soil to enrich it. Next to this the feeding of damaged grain is the most fruitful cause of I ad body in winter. Some farmers buy up damaged grain because it is cheap, but they canuot afford to feed it to dairy cows. In nine cases out of ten it will so injure the butter that it will prove very costly in the end.? E. P. Smith, in Farm, Field and Fireside. Paid in Hi* Own Coin. Natural meanness comes outinvavious ways. 1 heard a story of a very wealthy man who was always in the habit of l idiug in omnibuses because he was too old to walk far and too miserly to pay cabs. Pecently, during the heavy rains, he summoned au omnibus, nud it stopped for him just oil' one of those seaS of mud which the sweepers accumulate at certain portions of the street for the benefit of the mud carts. Mr. Meane attempted to get in, but the steps were slippery, and be was tottery. In cousc jueuce he slipped and fell backward in the sea of mud, where he was soused from head to foot. The 'bus drove on, the other 'buses took no notice of his shouts, the hansome cabs all said "Engaged," and even the four-wheelers for a long time would not look at the pitiable object Pedestrians, however, were not so ? n _ i exclusive. a small crowd gainerea, roared with laughter, and offered jocular advice to the victim.

Hnnted a Hear and Found Silver. J. S. Altenhaus, who lives in the Big Horn mountains, in northern Wyoming, while out hunting recently came upon the tracks of a big silvertipped bear and followed the trail to the mouth of a mountain cave. The hunter prepared a torch and entered the cave. A deep-throated growl and the shining of phosphorescent eyes betrayed bruin's position, and a close and cool shot ended his career. In removing the bear the attention of Mr. Alteuhaus was attracted to a mineral vein showing on the cavern wall. Securing samples of the rock an assay was afterward made, which gave returns of 40 per cent, lead and 200 ounces of silver to the ton. The vein is about four feet in width and extends for the full length of the caveru, some 300 feet. Mr. AHenhaus named the claim the "Silver Tip."?Chicago Inter-Ocean.

Recent Testa by German Experts Give Affirmative Results. Gorman scientists have recently bceft conducting experiments to ascertain i how far it is safe for people to employ smear as an article of diet. These inquiries are not altogether disinterested. Quite the contrary. Two-thirds of the world's supply of sugar is made from I beets, and more than one-third of the total production of beet sugar is credit-; ed to Germany. Part of this amount j she is.able to sell to foreigners. But; the greater part of it she consumes j herself. Now, exportation is liable to; fall' off at any time, and it is highly j probable that the manufacture will; fnntiiirip tr> inrroflsp. Hence it is de-; sirable, from the Gorman point of | view, to promote the use of sugar as j far as possible. However, this motive does not impair the value of the in-1 vesications recently made. Instead, it imparts greater interest to the latter. It is a a rather curious fact that, a I- j though Germany makes an enormous quantity of sugar, her people are not the largest consumers of that commodity. Statistics for 1S97 show that in England the average amount consumed per capita was So.7 pounds a year, whereas in Germany only 2G.G pounds were eaten. Americans ate on an average G2.3 pounds. Hence it would be j practicable to double or even treble; the consumption in Germany without: any appearance of excessive indulgence. Still, before recommending a policy of this sort, it was deemed wise by the J experts to institute elaborate tests of the effect of a sugar diet The result is highly encouraging. It has been determined that a libera* use of sugar is strengthening and fattening. One is taken aback for a moment by the discovery that the latter virtue was deI,,, nviurn'mmits wtth llOSTS IlJUil^Ll Cl UWi l?J VA|A tiUJVMW ... and cattle; but this Is a situation calling for cold logic, not sentiment Even before the tests were made which the American consul at Magdeburg reports to the State Department at Washington, it was known that mountain climbers regard sugar as a source of energy. Moreover, the chemists say that "it is a soluble carbon hydrate that is easily converted into warmth and force." That ought to settle the question. But the verdict was not considered final. Your German scientist wants to measure and compute, and enable himself to state his conclusions in a mathematical form. He is still happier if he can employ a substantial piece of apparatus in his inquiry. Well, these German savants proceedt ed in the following manner: They requested a man to apply his finger to a device called an ergostat, or force measurer. He exerted himself to the utmost to move the index of the machine. A record of his strength was made. On a different occasion he was fed on sugar, and again experimented with. It then appeared that he could make a better showing with the ergostat than before. Another form of the trial was to let a man tire himself out feed him with sugar and see if it restored his strength more quickly than abstinence. It thus appeared that his weary muscles recovered their power promptly in consequence of eating sugar. The German Government is said to be considering the expediency of adding six lumps of sugar to each soldier's ration in the army. But whatever it decides, it seems to have been demonstrated that the matinee girl who eats a pounu or -oonuons uurmg me performance of a play will be able to reach home in a much less exhausted condition than would otherwise be possible.?New York Tribune.

A plnusibfe tale of a man who : i bought a loaf of broad and took away ! more property than he paid for, is told | ; by the Pawtucket correspondent of the i i I Providence Telegram. The man was '< in a hurry to catch a car. ( His impatience made the clerk nervous. She forgot to snap the string 1 which bound the paper about the loaf, ( and away sped the man with the loaf, while the string reeled off behind him. lie caught the car all right, and although the conductor and some of the passengers noticed, as he sat down 1 close to the door, that the twine paid itself out as the car rolled along, the man did not discover the tangle until he alighted. In the meantime the con- j ductor was having a good time; as J passengers stepped on the platform he i cautioned them not to walk on that ' string, and they did not. : It might have looked mysterious to \ the people who saw the string moving along the street, for the unraveling continued until the bakery twine bobbin had been nearly emptied by the 1 connected loaf a mile away. The man 1 with the bread felt a tug at his loaf as j he stepped down from the car. Then . he followed up the cord, winding as , he went. He was one of those strictly honest men who want nothing that does not belong to them; and the best part of the story is that he followed the string back, winding as he walked, and in due time entered the bakery and restored the ball of twine.

On the 14th of May, 1S81, George Kemington, a brother of Peter Hem- , ngton of Galesburg, Mich., enlisted In the regular army and disappeared.

Thirty-nine years ago "Davy" was on the dock when ' Queen Victoria landed on her first visit j to Ireland, and sold her majesty a paper, receiving in pay a gold sovereign. On the queen's visit he was again on < band and again made a sale at the same high figure. Almost every great Englishman of the last half century has bought 'papers from "Davy" and 1 stopped to chat with him. The Typewriter Invention.
