When I was a boy my father used to say, "Well, H., this land is well adapted for com, potatoes, or beans, and I think we better break up a piece and try it.' Sometimes the pieces thus selected were pretty thoroughly pitted with large rocks not easily removed, to say nothing of an abundance of small stones, thus making it a difficult matter to turn over the sod nicely. As we had only a common A-harrow to pulverize with in those days, there was considerable bnckacne invested m the crops we raised. Very often good crops were obtained, notwithstanding the unfavorable conditions; but as I look back upon that time it seems as if it was a good way to make a boy disgusted with farm work. Removing large stones with a good team is pleasant enough, and picking up small ones is certainly a paradise compared with trying to raise crops where large and small are permitted to remain on the lot during plowing and cultivation. I am not sure that farmers would over have given up the cultivation of such rough lots had not Western competition forced them io it. It is certainly an expensive luxury nowadays for a farmer to hire and pay good wages and do much hand work. Improved implements in recent years have very much lessened the backache of the olden time, and those old times were not good times either. Farmers returning from work at night often had the appearance of rainbows, minus the gay colors. Repairs amount to considerable when expensive implements are used on rough lots. To make a good job everything in the way should be removed. This takes time and money, but it is a satisfaction to see an acre nicely cleared, highly fertilized, with a crop on it. showing by signs not to be mis taken that at harvest time the ledger will show a balance on the right side. Fertilizers cost considerable, and one i sometimes draws only a Hibernian dividend after using his best efforts to make a success. It is still more expensive to cultivate a large area with a small amount of fertilizer; the results are pretty sure to show the truthfulness of "He that soweth sparingly shall reap sparingly," to say nothing of the mortification of the owner at seeing a poor crop. The excellent results usually obtained by using liberally of high grade phosphate for nearly all kinds of garden truck, are, no doubt, in a measure, owing to its being so thoroughly comminuted. Fine'gardeus cannot readily and quickly find suitable nourishment in large lumps of stable manure. If it is true that plants take their nourishment only in liquid form, it becomes a matter of the first importance what the mechanical condition of the manure applied may be. If one lias a disk harrow, and a firm, smooth piece of land near the barn, the condition of the stable manure can be improved by spreading as ranch as desired for garden truck, and giving it a thorough going over with the barrow before using. The commercial fertilizer can be thoroughly incorporated with the manure by this operation if one wishes. If one can afford the money it is usually 'better to use the stable manure else where, and apply the phosphate for garden truck. The labor of keeping out weeds* is much lessened. Very many farmers spread considerable manure on their mowings in the sprjng. Where no manure spreader is available It is evident that Improving the mechanical condition cf the manure by the use of a disk harrow as above indicated would result in a more even stand of the grass. Handling the manure twice would, of course,- add to the expense.?Henry J. Veits, in Massachusetts Ploughman. * Chicks Dying in the Shell. . There have been volumes written recently in the Foultry and Agricultural Press regarding the cause of chicks dying in the shell near "pipping" time. | Some authorities claiming one thing j being the cause and others claiming ! something else. My opinion is that no I finite mind has as yet been able to I fathom this great mystery. All authorj ities are willing to admit that the trou| ble may be due to various causes, viz: | Too much heat, too little heat, eggs ! from over fat hens, low fertility or ! weak parentage. My opinion is that j the chief cause of chicks dying in shell ! that are artificially incubated is prin* ? !.-/>*!?/? nrrrrc tha first i cipauy ovei-ucttuuft ! thirty-six hours of incubation. Many ! operators are over anxious to rush up ; the heat, when eggs are first placed in j the egg chamber. While we prefer to I run the temperature, yet we would. | prefer to run the temperature at 102 j degrees and not above 103 degrees the ; first week, and gradually increase the lieat as the hatch progresses. In this I way we can get out a larger per cent, i than to run low or high, or even, or i uneven temperature, and at same time ; avoid such a great mortality of chicks j dying in the shell. Eggs should never be placed in the incubator until the operator gets full control of the heat. It seems as if the best makes of incubators sometimes become unruly and prone to have their own way, appar ently possessing a good supply of rains. We have worked with incu bators for three aays ana mgius iu 1 order to get full control of the temperature, before entrusting eggs to j them. Another difficulty that must be J overcome by the amateur operator, and j more experienced as well, is to not j be so radical in regard to not opening i the door to the egg chamber, for fear ' a little fresh air will prove fatal to the | embryo chick. Fresh air is the es I ?????I?M???? rarttx?! I I sence of .ill livinsr tilings. Wo open the doors to the egg chamber two, and ' sometimes three times, a day in order | for the eggs to obtain a sufficient j amount of pure fresh air, and when J eggs are being turned we are in no , great hurry. Those small things are in ! favor of a good hatch, and should not j be overlooked. However the doors of j the egg chamber should not be foolishly j opened to please the mere curiosity of i visitors, especially near the "pipping" j nnvin/1 /.AM oil* An />Vitnl'c* k'UttUC II \ \J IU ill! Ull lUT '.UJV.IVO at tliis time is very dangerous, and : the doors should he closed constantly during this period. When chicks die ! in the shell when incubated by natural hens the cause is evidently due to low vitality of the parent stock, resulting from being pushed all winter for eggs, by hot stimplating foods or by a weak condition caused from disease of some kind. The real cause of chicks dying | in shell probably will never be overcome. However, as yet, it is merely theoretical, and a great problem to overcome; therefore the best solution in order to obtain a satisfactory hatch, is to have all things corresponding as nearly as possible with Nature's laws. Angels can do no more.?J. C. Clipj* In Indiana Farmer. Ideal House For Poultry. .

The fowls of two pens are watered from one vessel which extends through the partition as shown In Fig. 2.?Montreal Her* aid. z The AdTatajres of Subsoiling. Subsoil tillage consists in breaking i and fining the subsoil, without bringing it to the snrface. It is not always j advisable or profitable, but is sometimes useful. It is most likely to prove useful In well-drained soils, where the subsoil is hard and dry. It cannot be recommended for wet land. If attempted where the subsoil is wet and clayey, there is a tendency to puddling the clay, which does more harm than good. When, however, there is adequate underdrainage, natural or ar?.?Ani.tnjr ?n moiiAwin? and UllCiaj, UitraaiUn uj/, loosening the subsoil proves useful, because it enables the water to percolate through the soil more freely, results in better aeration of the subsoil, and deepens that portion of the soil in which roots can healthfnlly develop. Roots follow tiie line of least insistence. If the soil be mellow to the full depth required by such crops as carrots, beets and parsnips, they will develop well-shaped, symmetrical and smooth roots, but if the subsoil be hard the roots will be stunted and deformed. Subsoiling is most likely to prove useful for root crops and fruit trees. Subsoillng is performed by means of a plow especially designed for the purpose. Two teams are required in order to carry on the work to advantage. The first team is for the ordinary plow, the second for the subsoil plow, ,\yhich is used in the furrow behind the common plow. The power requireu iui ujC soil plow of course varies widely, with the soil and the depth at which the plow is worked. It may not be greater than that required for the common plow, but it is sometimes four time# as much, in which case four or more horses may be needed.?A Reader, In 1 Indiana Farmer.

The persistent manner in which Belgians cling to their mediaeval festivals and traditions is a characteristic national trait well known to those familiar with the Flemish and Walloon provinces. The survival of such popular fetes as that of the carnival procession of the dancing Gilles at Binche attests the innate love of Belgians for these picturesque vestiges of their forefathers' civilization. The festival of the dancing Gilles of Bincbe is in many respects the quaintest of these popula* customs. This festival takes place on Mardi-Gras at the Binche, a town of Hainaut. The carnival of Binche has always been held in high repute by Belgians, but without its Gilles it would not be substantially different from that of Rome, Nice and other towns. These Gilles, or dancing men, who form the glory of the Binche carnival, are characterized by their headdresses and humps. The headdress is most elaborate and striking. In shape it resembles the oldtime top hat of our great-grandfathers. The hat is surmounted with magnificent ostrich feathers from three to four feet in ISllR : mBmm | DANCING GILLE OP BINCHE IN PULL DBESS. . length, which give ro the wearers the | appearance of giants. From each hat, j besides, flow several wide, variegated ' ribbons, while the Gilles' trousers are I bedecked with trimmings of real lace j and ribbons to match those of the hat. Saved a Lace Factory. In the Ayrshire town of Darvel there I stands to-day a large lace factory ! which would have been burned to I the ground a few years ago had it not { been prevented by a dream. An old woman who had once upon a time worked in the factory dreamt one night that the building was in danger of fire. Without delay she rose, and, although it was a dark and stormy December night, wended her way toward the factory. On approaching it she realized j that her dream was only too true, as , . ... -.... .. ; BLIC EYE. SS$5@FBSHEK^5FBEB?6^68IBfflQH85^E$jl IB v/?s r' ^ -' - / '-""I ' 'IraS ^ ' " 1 )' ' '':^M HAY. ^no? A r:_i ? .imriicau u:yiuuiui. Every Gille wears a mask, and a silk belt, from wliieli hangs small bells. The entire Gille's outfit costs from $40 to *$50, a large sum for the peasant youths, generally selected by the carnival committee to fill the part of act- T; i ors in the Mardi-Gras festivals. The ^ \ honor of being a Gille is so great, however, among the gay Iotharlos of Bincbe, and carries such prestige with the local damsels,' that the young men chosen by the committee are only too $ pleased to make the financial sacrifice demanded of them. *; :Jji In the afternoon of Mardi-Gras the GUles, in full uniform, two hundred strong, preceded by the local brass bands and musical clubs, appear In procession and march toward the Grande Place. The sight thus offered is unique in the annals of carnival rejoicings. The Gilles proceed by dancing to the tune of the band jnst mentioned. At every few steps they stop, bend and unbend, to heighten the effect of the ringing from the ; bells worn at their belts. Their ^ streamers float to and fro, and en- \ velop them in a rainbow of ribbon. At the same time the simultaneous ringing of bells and thumping of wooden j sabots on the cobblestones sound like the echo of a cavalry charge. The Gilles have each a straw basket hanging to one side from the belt, and filled with oranges. With these they bombard the spectators as they dance along. As soon as emptied* the bas-/ ; ket:? are filled again by men from behinu, appointed for this duty. A general battle of oranges then takes place between the Gilles and the carnival merrymakers. Finally the procession reaches the town hall, in front of which, ; . is seated, on a platform, the3 mayor, surrounded by the municipal officials. The Gilles then terminate the day's festivities by a general war dance, giving a prolonged exhibition of their capabilities. The publie likewise joins in the fun, and soon some five thousand persons?men, women and children?may be seen gayly waltzing around the Grande Place. The sight of an entire population, dressed in carnival costume, and masked, dancing in the open air to the music of the Gilles brass band, is one not easily forgotten. The dancing continues until the late evening, when the sport is brought to an end by the mayor, who formally awards a gold medal to the Gille who has proved himself the most expert dancer.?New York Tri- , bune. College and Poverty. A recent bulletin of the Massachusetts Labor Bureau shows that in Harvard, often called "a rich man-'s college," nearly ten per cent, of the young men and nearly eleven per cent, of the young women are the children of people classed by statisticians as wageearners. In Boston University, the largest Methodist institution of New England, over thirty-five per cent, of the students are the sons and daughters of wage workers. The record of Clark University is even more remarkable. This is devoted entirely to post-graduate and research work?that Is, to the kind of study which must wait longest for monetary returns. Yet nearly twentyseven per cent, of its students are from wage-working families.?Chicago Inter-Ocean. the glare on the window of the warehouse revealed that a fire had broken out there. She quickly gave the alarm, and with plenty of willing hands the fire was extinguished before any great damage had been done. The old woman was made the recipient of a handsome sum from the factory owner, and still lives in her comfortable cot, able to relate the wonderful dream and how she saved the lace factory from ruins. In the third century, in Greece, women were not allowed to wear silk. . 'jt.
