HOW BOERS PITCH THEIR LAAGERS. Always Put Tents Between Parallel Lines of tHills. A. C. Hales. the Australian corre Spondent who was captured by the Boers and released by Presient Steyn, writing froni Burghersdorp, says: "Possibly it may interes ' English men ad womntn, too, for ti:at inatter, to know what a fighting hiager is like, and, as I have seen half a dozen of them from the eunmy's side of the wall, a rough pen sketch may not be amiss. In wat* times the Boer never under any circurmstances makes his laager in the open country if there are any kopjes about. No matter how secure he may fancy himself from at tack, no matter if there is not: a foe within fifty miles of him, the Blor commander always pitches his laager In a place of safety between two par allel lines of hitis. so that an attack cannot be made upon him, either front or rear, without giving him an .iii mense advantage over the attacking force, even if the enemy is ten times as strong in numbers. By this nieans the Boers make the!r laagurs almost impregnable. If they have a choie of ground they pick a narrow ravine or gully, with a line of hili:; front and rear, covered wit ih sinaf!. rotky bowiders and bushes. They drive their wagons in between these hilis. - "The women are placed in safety. for It is a noticeable fact that very large numbers of women have :ollow ed their husbands and brothers to the war, not to act t.s viragoes, not to un sex themselves, nor to handle the jifle, but o nurse the wounded. to comfort the dying anti to lay out the (ead. I have heard thmiu singing rou:ad the camp fires in the starligir, but it was hymns that they sang, not ribald songs. I bave seen them kneeling by the side of men in the moonlight, but not in wantonness, but in mercy, and many a man who wears the Bri:ish uniform to-day can bear ame witness that I speak the truth. "The foot scouts take up their posi lions among the rocks and shrubs on the hills in front and rear of the laager. Each s:-out has his rifle in his hand, his pipe in hi.; teeth,. his bandolier full of eartridg.s over his shoulder and his scanty blanket un der his left arm. No fear of his sleep Ing at his post. He is tighting for ~honor, not for pay; for home, not for glory, and he knows that on his acute ness the lives of all may depend. He knows that his comrades and the wo men trust him, and lie values the trust as dearly as Briksh soldiers ever did. No matter how tired he may be, no matter how famished, the Boer senti nel Is never faibless to his orders." *H OW MUC H not the questIon, but',.,how much you - ~St) because food does pood only when It 'iiAte..tdad assim'f.'ted, taken up by . made Into muscle, nerve, bone Ho~n~Iod's SarsaparP Ila re stores to 'hF" .Its powers of diges tion.

Prof. Masso, of the Univ~ersity of Genoa, has reently- completed a series of -interesting experiments for the purpose of observirg the tempera ture of the body during fastirg and the rate of assimilation cf ca:rbohy rates. The experiments demonstrat ed the efficacy of sujgar in raising the temperature of an animal which had fallen during a fast. Upon the ad mninistration of sugar the temperature rose rapidly during fifteen minutes and in one or two hoturs reached its maximum. After bread is given the temperature will rise more slowly than in the ease of sugar, owing to the greater difficulty the animal has in assimilating the food. Prof. Masso says that with stugar he has succeededl in retrring the vitality. of dlogs in a serious state of bypothermia, while the administration of albumen to oth era failed to save their lives. -8 Rest and help for' weary s~ women are founid In Lydia E.

The results of the two years' ex periments at the Arkansas station in dicate that seed corn grown in the same or nearly the same latitude as that in which it is to be planted, will give the best results, and that seed grown in the neighborhood where they are to be planted are preferable to those grown further North or further South. Western Farmers Plow Under. Out West, where the fertility of ages has been stored up annually, the farmers have had a good thing of it. They have, in some cases, grown crops year after year without making any pretension whatever to use fer tilizer of any sort, nor in any way have they tried to put back in the soil what they have annually taken from it. Now most of these farmers are be ginning to feel the effect of this rob bery, and have at least found out that the fertlity in-their land is exhausti ble. These farmers should at once plant crops for plowing under, for in most cases their farms are too large to be manured. If they would keep their farms in perfect shape as to fer tility, it can be done-if they do not wait too long-by simply following the lesson taught by nature, which is resting the land and planting crops on it suitable to be plowed under and decomposed. Improving Poor Land. Four years ago I bought a farm in Sullivan County that contained a ten acre lot, which was very much run down. Having only a small herd of cattle I was not able to get the field in shape by using manure, because I wished to put this on the good land, where I intended to raise the chief crops. So the first summer I fallowed the field, then plowed it in September and sowed to rye. Then plowed un der the rye and sowed buckwheat in Jane, plowed under buckwheat in August and sowed to rye in Septem ber. I cut the rye the second year and obtained fifty bushels which sold for $30. I had sorwed t.o clover in the spring at the rate of twelve quarts per acre, plowed this under the following spring and sowed to buckwheat. I cut this crop of buckwheat, which yielded 200 bushels and brought $100. Not in cilding labor, the expense was $32.81. The rye and buckwheat yielded $130, which I consider all gain, for the im provement in the land will pay for my labor.-Reginald C. Glenwood, New York, in American Agriculturist. Pumpkins For IHens. During the last winter the noonday feed of err S.ock of hens has consisted of cut bone three times a week, with chopped cabbage, boiled potatoes, re fuse apples and pumpkins on the stored in a dry cellar, and at the present writing (early in spring) those remaining are still fresh and sound. The best w~ay of feeding is to break the pumpkin in half and remove the seeds, of which, in their raw state, the biddiesi are extravagantly fond, Bake the rest for an hour or more and - hot on the halfshell. In a very short time shell will remain. and, if one flourishing prve anything, the "fruit of the vine wi be found to agree as well: with feathered as with unfeathered bipeds. Any variety in vegetabla poultry food is a desideratum, and while the suggestion may seem unnecessary, now that the time of green grass is near, it is worth considering in con nection with spring garden making. An exceptionally high egg record is my most convincing argument, and (ith that to back me, 1 recommend a sufhicient planting to insure a pump kin dinner at least once a week for four months. -Doree, in C.,untry Gen tlenman. Thme flarm In Very Early Plowing. Many farmers are very impatient toI tart the plow in the spring. As soon is the snow disappears and they find ifew dry spots in the highway, the low is brought out and started. The oil being cold and wet, the upturned arrow presents a smooth, glossy ap earance, and if future heavy freezing loes not occur it will bake hard and rm, requiring several harrowings to ut it into a proper condition for a eed bed. Not only is this extra labor equired, but the soil at plowing is so oft that the horses at each step sink Imost to the bottom of the furrow. his is very injurious and most of hese early plowers would not think ofj lowing other stock upon the fields ~-hen in this condition. The acts of lowing obliterates the foot marks ud they imagine no harm is done, ut they are greatly mistaken. No rmer ever gained anything in the nd by plowing his soil when not in a roper condition. Perhaps there is ome advantage in ma~*king out lands - t a field that is naturally wet and t eavy, as the furrows thus made act V s surface drains, and if the land be ti early level the water is drawn from o ie surface soil to a distance of several tl ~et upon each side, and if it can be S rained off at the end of furrows a u sitive gain will be accomplished. it Thme Wet Places. b At this time of year and a little later t e farmer can thoroughly estimate i e condition of his farm as to soil G oisture. Some of the land will dry oj t at the time it should, while otber- b ni will hold water and show it on tI e surface till long after the landjim ould be worked. It is, therefore, c< e proper time to make a thorough tl ~amination of all the farm, if there is |w y intention to put in drains. When ig e land is partly covered with water a e falls can be better estimated than 'c any other time, and measurements de for drainage at this time might vi ye some very bad mistakes that oc- is r when the plans for the drains areca t made till the drying time in the s 1 of the year. ur The wet places 'generally are only bn lf productive, except in unusually c y years. The water level is so near wi e surface that the roots'-cannot get di e depth they should, for it should1 ot t be forgotten that even some of our rface feeders really send down roots ite deep, as per example, the corn at, whose roots have been. fd Ica: four feet under the surface. Now, if the water level is permitted to re a within a foot of the surface it is evi dent that the root operations of almost any of our field plants will be seri ously interfered with. If the water in these wet places be somewhat stagnant, as it is likely to be if the soil is of heavy clay nature, the damage resulting from the pres ence of this water will be greatly in creased. Water that moves through the soil is bad enough, 'but stagnant water is far worse, for it becomes the breeding place of many kinds of dis ease, some of which are as yet un knowu but make manifest their pres ence by rotting off the roots of certain plants. The argunents, therefore, for paying more attention to the wet spots should be allowed to have due weight. Not only will the wet spots themselves be benefited by draining, but the land adjacent will also be im prove-d. The Moods ot the Bees. The honey bee is, like almuost every other living creature, subject to moods, and sometimes much more irritable, than atothers. In the midst of a good honey flow, and on a bright and pleas ant day, they do not go out of their way to attack any one, and are even so pleasant that they scarcely resen4 the opening of the hive and the chang ing of frames. This is the time to select for such work. When the honey flow stops sud denly, or in a cold or rainy day, when they are obliged to stay in the hive, it is best to keep away from them. They are easily irritated and scarcely await provocation before they declare war. For the same reason, early morning or the twilight hour ;,t night should not be n''lized for trying to work among the bees. They also have a strong dislike to having people among them who are in a hurry and want to make rapid or abrupt movements or shrill sounds. One might walk leisurely through an apiary, or sit down in it for a long time, if quiet, and not receive a sting, while i@ he tried to run through it he would need to move faster than they could fly to avoid them. There are certain odors which they dislike very much, though perhaps none so much as that of perspiration. A sweaty person or horse had best keep at a considerable distance from the hives, and the odor of blood is apt to excite them. There are few flow ers if any whose perfumes'they object to, but some cheap perfumes in which the alcohol is more noticeable than the flower odor they do not like. They do not like smoke, and a little makes them cross, although more drives them away or causes them to so fill themselves with honey that they will not sting. As regards the claim that they have a dislike to black clothing, so much that they will attack one so dressed, while they will pass by one in white, or even in colors, we do not think that is quite proven. In fact, we think it is largely a matter of custom with them. If used to having been handledl but upon this porn enced bee keepers are not agreed.--I American Cultivator. Yields Fair Forage.

Or has labor and money been placed on our roads for a century past merely to fill in time, and keep our surplus capital in circu lation. If we do not want good roads, if bad roads are preferable, why should we want roads at all? We must have roads. That neces sity having been plated upon us, the ex perience which has taught us the wis dom of building other structures sub stantially, teaches us the economy of having roads that are good. We want roads which will withstand wear. We want the labor and money spent on them to be a paying investment. We want roads which will be good no mat ter what the state of the weather. We want roads which will not become rutted immediately the fall rains come on or when the frost leaves the ground in the spring, remaining in rough ridges for a considerable part of the summer. A road which does this is a bad road. 'The money aud labor spent on it is largely forced down into the mud, is plowed under within a year and wasted. A good road is an economical road. In building an economical road, im provements must be made in such a way that they will last. Roads have been built on the same principle as is wagon which breaks down under the first load, and is used for firewood af ter a year of service. Most of the leading roads have been made and re made a score of times and are still bad roads. They are of the kind that "break ur? A road that "breaks up," like aaything else that breaks tip, is a poo investment. When road building is ightly understood in this country, nship councilors will no more thi of building roads that will break up i the spring than they will think of . onstructing houses that break up n t'he spring, barns that break up i the spring or fences that break ':p i the spring.
