Remarkable SwImmIng Feat -,I. A remarkable feAt of swiwiniing wa! accomplished when JaMes Finney champion swimmer of the world, swam from the North Pier, Black pcol, to the St. Anne's Pier, a d1stance of five miles. in Pursuance of the terms of a wagei' of $1,000, Finne3 dived from the North Pier shortly be fore a guarter to two In the presence of a large body of spectators. 'The sca was by no means smooth, and the tide being at ebb rendered the task a soiewhat diflicult one. The natch was a question rather of en duranice than the establishment of a speed record. Finney starte. at a )ace, but fftr thd first fifty yards set tied into I steady stroke. Ie was he:dqd by a 'mall boat carrying a white flag, and he kept a yard or two behind all the way, passing the Ceu tral Pier about three o'clock and the Victoi-a Pie' fifty minutes later. At haff-past fire he arrived at St. Annes., but could not reach the pier, the tide ben out. - As the conditions of the wager ~re ~1qi-ed that he should approach the pier by watr-, a tedious wait of two hours followed, during which Finney swam about, and by frequent changes of position succeeded in keepin.; afloat until the tide came In, when he swam to the pier and went ashore at five minutes to eight, having spent five hours eleven minutes in the water.

In banking up against the walls o basement barns, and especially ii building up a passage way to the en trance, there is always strong tempta tion to use stones piled in loosely as s basis, where stones are over plentiful on the form. Yet thisususally prove. a mistake. Rats will invariably effeci a lodgement among such stones, and they will in time work through intc the barn basement. Besides, rain will wash dirt among the stones, and it will require constant atte:ation every year to keep passage way so that loaded wagons can be driyen over it. Eradicating the Wild Carrot. Mowing the wild carrot before it matures seeds is much better than to let it alone. But it may not be en tirely effectual. A second crop of flowering stems will soon follow the mowing, and, if the weed is cut again, a third. Each successive crop of flowering stems will be shorter and more feeble than the preceding one, yet some short stems will at last be found bearing clusters of flowers and seeds. The sure way to eradicate wild carrot is to pull it up by the roots, and this can be easily done just after a rain, when the ground is soft. Producing Good Grapes. A French agricultural journal gives the method by which a vine grower of Touraine is said to iroduce magnifi cent grapes. He dissolves two kilo grams of sulphate of iron in 100 liters of water and sprinkles it on the leaves and bunches of the vines. The first application is male when the grapes are about one-third their full size, the second about a month later and the third about twenty days before they are cut. It is asserted that corre sponding results are obtained with pears, apples and cherries. The method is inexpensive and the journal quoted recommends a trial, though it does not guarantee the success of the treatment in all cases. Ventilating Poultry Houses. Chicken "cranks" in a reat many cases are generally very enthusiastic over the matter of ventilating the houses in which poultry are kept, and many are the schemes practiced in or der to accomplish this end. Ventila tion is an excellent thing, though I be lieve that on the majority of farms, and especially at this season of the year, a little more attention should be paid in trying to determine how not to ventilate. And this not only ap plies to the poultry house but also to the barns. Give this matter your time from now on till spring, for with out a doubt there has been far more birds killed by the over-ventilation than by under-ventilation. During1 the colder months it is almost impos sible to have a chicken house too warm, and all the fresh air the birds will need is more than likely to find I its way into the house in some shap< or manner.-Weekly Witness. - flarvesting P-rarilips;. The parsniM~iisually grown on very rich ground, and when much manure has been used it often has a rank taste hezathna e,-iN- *r much better to let the parsnips stay in the ground until the soil around it has frozen once or twice. It may be gathered after the first thaw and housed, when it will be found that the rank flavor from the manure has passed away, ansd the parsnip will be tender and sweet. Some people leave the parsnip in t'ie ground all winter. It does not hurt it to freeze while in ground, provided it is thawed in con tact with the soil. The greater dan ger in leaving parsnips out all winter is that they will be forgotten in spring until the warm weather has started the shoots for seed bearing. Then the parsnip becomes poisonous. But if dug as soon in spring as the ground is thawed, the parsnips will be better than if dug in the fall and wintered in a cellar. A Wagon Washing Device.

A slat platform, sunl into the walk, will keep the wheels from the mud of the bottom.-Orange Judd Farmer. Watering Horses. In watering, as in feeding horses, a man must study the individuality of his animal. With few exceptions. in my opinion, says a writer in Farming, a horse should have water in sufficient quantities to satisfy his thirst when ever he is thirsty. Theoretically speaking, a horse should first be given drink, then hay, and lastly oats. The capacity of his stomach is limited, and it fed oats, then hay, and then watered, some of the oats may be forced out of the stomach (especially if he is a heavy feede) before theyv have been sutii ciently acted upon by the digestive juices, andi consequently will pass oil in the faeces only partially digest ed. A borse shoula always be given a drink befcre a me?al. It reriuires a little training to get hi:u to drink be fore breakfast, espec: i!!y in colt] weather, but in such weather he is not liable to drink mnuch even aftei his meals. In all cases, except when ha has beeni a long time without water and is very warm, lhe should be 2;'wed all he will driuk before thet n,-a and evening meals. and also a dan~k after ihe has fliished his meal. E':aa it is at all possib]e he should ha'n sater between his meaL es ReepIng Cabbage During Winter. It is agreed by most poultrymen that cabbage is one of the best green foods for poultry during the winter, but it is usually hard to keep heads in good condition for more than a few weeks after winter sets in. Here is a plan worth trying. It has been suc cessfully used for several seasons in sections where the winter is peculiar ly trying owing to lack of snow to furnish partial protection. The cab bages are pulled up by the roots and carted to a part of the farm where tht ground is sloping. It so happens where the plan was tried that the ground was near a cluster of trees. but a locality near by buildings would give the same protection. A shallow trench is dug, say two feet deep, and filled a foot deep with leaves. On this bed of leaves the cabbages are set roots up, close together. Leaves are then heaped over them in large quin tities and held in place with brush. The trenches are made in beds with deep farrows between them to carry off the water, the furrow being made with the slope of the land so that the water will not run against the side of the beds. The cabbages will freeze, but will keep in perfect condition and may be easily taken out as wanted and after being thawed out may be chopped up for use on the table or for the poultry. By this plan green food may be had until late in the spring. Atlanta Journal. Elanching Celery. The old plan of blanching or bleach ing celery with earth is objectionable from the fact that wherever the soil comes in contact with the celery stalks it invariably causes rust. The use of boards is all right, but when a con siderable quantity of celery is grown it is quite an effort to handle thes4 boards, to say nothing of the expense. The accompanying cut shows a plan 1.. 1 It '~ IV A HANDY BLEACHING DEVICE. for using tarred roofing paper, which is nailed to light frames with a heavier stake at either end long enough that they may be driven into the ground romn six to eight inches. The cut shows plainly how to construct such a crame wiith the strips at the top to bold it in position.. If the paper used is thin or lightweight an extra coat of Lar may be given each season before ise. Make the sections of a conveni at size to handle easily anid that they expense of the smallest floor space. These frames have been tried 15y ex perienced celery growers and pro nounced not only cheaper than boards, but more easily handled and quite as effective.-Atlanta Journal. Covering Ensilage. Professor Rlobertson in his annual report says: In filling a silo particular pains should be taken to spread the ensilage evenly over the surface; other wise the leaves and lighter parts may lie in one place, and the stalks and ears in another. The ensilage at the sides and corners of the silo should be trodden down as compactly as possi ble. Then immediately after the silo is filled it should be covered with a layer of four or six inches of cut straw, and that by about eighteen inches or two feet of any kind of rough straw. In the feeding out of the ensilage, it is not a good plan to expose a large surface in the silo at one time. Where practicable, only as much of the sur face of the ensilage should be uncov ered as will cause a depth of about six inches to be removed from it by feed ing every day. A half or one-qniarter of the ensilage may be uncovered at one time, and it may be cut down with a hay knife, leaving a perpendicular face, which will mold very slightly. Where too large a surface of ensilage is exposed to the air it becomes oftfen sive to the smell and gives rise to the growth of molds. These sometimes contaminate the stable and spread the belief that the feeding of ensilage im parts a flavor to the milk. Such flavors get into the milk through the atmos phere, and not through the feeding of the cow. Uses of the SoHl. In the first place it is an immense workshop in which chemical and bio logical changes are constantly going on. The minute soil particles or rock fragments are continually being dis solved and made ready for hungry plant roots. The soil is the home of a vast army of living creatures. We never see them. They are too small. They are the lowest form of life-sim ple, one-celled plants, in the shape of spheres or ovals, or short rods. How small are these creatures of the earth? In transverse diameter one twventy-five thousandth of an inch is a common merasurement. Increase tl'e hight of the ordinary man one thousand times and his head would be over a mile above the earth, yet one of these little creatures under the same magnifica tion would have plenty of room to dance up and down iu the film of water betwecen two plates of glass pressed firmly tog ether. From 100 to 250 of t heo ace..d sikh1; by.% would make the6 thcns of ani ordinary sheet of p~aper.. These little fellows are con tually at work causing decay of veg etable uiatter in the soil, and thus making plant food. They are among the farmer's best friends. Second, the soil is a great storehouase of water. If we always had plcnty of moisturein our~ soils we would have good crops. The soil acts as a lrge sponge to an sorb water and hiold it for the use of crops. Third, the soil is a home for plants. It affords a place in which [STOR RETLEF. Two Le Ms. Pinkham.

Some of it is In the shape o nuggets as large as marrowfat peai but the greater part of it is in leaflet or scales. The most of the mines ar in the southern part of Tierra del Ft ego proper and the Islands adjaceni The gold is found on the shore, th clay containing it runnmng down uI der the water and being exposed oni: at low tide. The gold is covered wit: shingle and sand, which must be re moved before bed rock is reached. A the Slogget Bay diggings, for instanc< there is six feet of sand and gravc above the bed rock.
