. In an egg-laying test at the Louisi
ana Station, involving hens of ten com
mon breeds and continued 240 days,
brown leghorns made the best record,
the hens of this breed laying an aver
age of seventy-two eggs. Light brahmas
came next with an average of fifty
eight, then langshans with forty-nine,
buff coohins and Plymouth rocks with
forty-aix each, and minorcas with forty
five. The American breeds averaged
thirty-three eggs a hen, Assatic forty
five, and European forty-four.-New
York World.
Now cooD cowS AE ECnmD.
Many good cows are practically
tuined by being kept apart from the
herd. Their isolation is due usually
to a whim to make a pet of an individ
ual cow. Women and children are
mainly responsible for this form of
foolishness which should never be in
dulged by the careful dairyman. Cat
tle are in their way exceedingly social
creatures, and absence from their as
sociates affect them unfavorably. They
are nervous and uneasy when separ
ated from them, and in the case of
cows lose flesh and fall off in milk.
Sometimes it causes them to abort,
but this rarely -happens, enough mis
chief being accomplished without.
Foolish men sometimes tie a cow up
to punish her, with the result that the
fool is punished in the lessened yield
caused by the separation from the
herd. -American Dairyman.
EXIAVSTED LAYD.
We are suffering here in New Eng
land from land exhaustion. That is
one of the questions that confronts
New England, confronts Massachu
setts. If these lands were highly pro
ductive, they would be occupied and
used. One of the prime reasons for
the abandonment of these lands is be
cause they no longer have plant food.
Now, how have they become ex
hausted? I think largely by raising
the grains. That is what the New Eng
land farmer primarily did. He raised
corn and oats, wheat and barley, and
sold them, and thus impoverished
+hese lands.
The farms of New England have
been impoverished because we have
sold more from the land than we have
restored to it. The question then for
the farmer is, How shall I restore, how
shall I build up my farm? How shall
I wisely do it? I believe the wise way
to do it is to buy grain. I think it is
the oheapest way to do it, because
when youraise a crop of grain on your
land you diminish the fertility of that
land. I
When you raise a crop of anything
except the leguminous plants, except
the pea and the clover and the bean,
and crops of that nature, and araw it
off the land, you have taken something
out of mother earth. When you buy
grain you buy something which has a
large manurial value. When a man
buys a ton of bran for $20 I say it is a
good investment. Why? Because he
buys in that $20 worth of nutrition
$12 worth of manuriul value. The'
man who buys a ton of cottonseed
meal for $28 buys $24 worth of manur
jal value. -New England Farmer.
In answer to the query, "How often
in one season ought geese to be
picked?" a farmer with fourteen years'
experience answers, in the Philadel
phia Farm Journal, that it depends en
tirely on the feed and run and ex
plains the whole situation as follows:
"They feather out more quickly when
they are permitted to run on green
pasture and gave abundance of good
water to drink. Every ten weeks
should find them, under such treat
-ment, with a good coat of feathers. Do
not pick until laying is over. Geese
cannot be artificially moulting and
producing eggs at the same time.
-Never pick them in cold weather.
When ready to pick, which the experi
enced geese-raiser can tell by the color
of the plumage (if ready there will be
no yellowish tinge on the white
feathers, but to be s-re pick a few
from the breast of noi goose), the
feathers come easily and are dry at the
quill end. If not ripe, they are soft
and bloody. And this is one of the
reasnsn why store-bought feathers
sometimes have such a diar eeable
odor. The best guide, experience, tells
as to take only a small pinch of
!eathers in the fingers at a time, and
with a quick downward jerk, from tail
to neck, displace the first coat of
feathers with only a very little of the
second coat, the down. Do not pick:
the bolsters. those large feathers
under the wings. If you do, the poor
creatures' wings will droop continu
ally. When the goose dies, we can
strip-these off for filing pillows for
home use. But never take them from~
the geese while living."

gave me faith in the medicine.
"I began taking the pills and found the
to be all that the professor had told me th

such long standing that I did not expc

THE CONGO RIVER.
Its Course is Now Known from Its Source
to tte ' ea.
The second in volume of the grea
rivers of the world is known at last
from its main source to the sea, says
:he New York Sun. Seventeen years
io Mr. Stanley paddled down the
F ongo for 1,200 miles and hauled his
oats around 300 milesof rapids. Since
that time no part of the world has been
the field of so many explorations. We
are now indebted to Mr. Mohun, our
3onsul on the Congo, for filling up the
last gap in the preliminary survey of
tthe main river.
About two years ago AlexanderDel
2ommune followed the Lukuga River
to the Congo. This river was long a
puzzle. Geographers were divided in
>pinion as to whether it was the outlet
)f Lake Tanganyika. It was twenty
rears after the lake was discovered be
Core explanation had conclusively es
:ablished the fact that its waters flowed
kvestward through the Lukuga,* In
:racing this river to the Congo Delcom
aiune did what many an explorer has
Deen compelled to do: He applied the
sponge to the map of Africa, besides
adding details to it. The Arabs had
aid that the Lukuga and the Congo
mingled their waters in a large lake
aamed Landji. The Belgian explorer
proved that this was not so, and Lake
Landji is now disappearing from its
familiar place on the African maps.
No traveler had ever traced the Con
-o between its junction with the Lu
kuga and Tippu Tib's old town of Kas
songo, which several explorers have
nade well known. This is what Mr.
Mohun has done. He has added about
i ighty- five miles of surveys to the
maps. His discoveries are purely of
eographical interest, for this stretch
f river adds nothing to the Congo's
importance as a commercial highway.
[n no other part of the Congo's course

3o numerous and crowded so closely to.
ether.
Awhile ago we could not have saic.
hat Mr. Mohun's journey completed
the preliminary survey of the Congo,
because it was not then known whether
the Luapula or the Lualabia branch of
the upper Congo was the better entitled
to be known as the main river. Del
3ommune's investigation showed, how
aver, that at the point where these
iavers meet the Luapula supplies much
the larger quantity of water. The Lu
alaba, not yet completely known, is
therefore the tributary, and the little
river Chambesi, which rises near the
aorthern end of Lake Nyassa, and after
passing through Lake Bangweolo be
3omes the Luapuala, is entitled to fame
as the head stream of the mightiest
-i-er in Africa.

Old Visiting Cards. c
Some fifty years ago, when a house b
an Dean street, Soho, was being re- K
paired, on removing a marble chimney
piece in the front drawing room, four
:>r five "visiting" cards were found,
mne with the name of Isaac Newton on
.t. The names were all written on the
:>acks of common playing cards. The
aouse in Dean street was the resi
fence of Hogarth, or bjs father-in-law.
In "Marriage a la Mode," (Plate 4,)
this celebrated picture by Hogarth sup
plies an additional proof of play
:ng cards having done duty as
visiting cards and cards of invitations
luring the middle of the last century.
There are several lying on the floor in
the righthand corner of the picture.
Dne is inscribed: 'Count Bassett begs
to no how Lade Squader slept last
nite." Soon after this period some par
ticularly ingenious individual hit upon
the idea of supplying fantastically
,and-written cards to the "nobility and
g entry," and very elaborate and gor
geous specimens of stationery and call
graphy these same cards were.
Then the inevitable evolution set in,
and cards soon developed into respect
able specimens of the engraver's art,
and, though various changes took place
in the shapes and sizes, eventually the
sensible cards, as used at the present
:lay, soon took a hold on the public,
and the neatest and plainest have re
mained the fashion. But the fantastic
and absurb reigned for some considera
able time, and stationers vied with "
sach other as to who could produce the
most elaborate. The present writer
has seen some of the earlier cards quite
ten inches long by six inches broad,
with lace bordering.-Notes and Quer-L
ies.
