At Durga Cbaran had be. n of their o/pin ion, ho would have been a happioy man tcday, and little Bisesa wonldi bave been able to knead her own braid. Her room looked out through One grated window into the narrow dfark gully, where tho sun never enm/; and where the buffaloes wallowed iii/flio blue slime She was a widow, about! 15 years eld, and sho prayed the gt^ds day and night to send her a lover, Tor she did not ap prove of living aloufe. One day the nin/n ? TrejagO his name was?came into/Amir Nath's gully on an aimless waiadering, and after he had passed the brtmaloeaBtuinbled over a big heap of cattue food. Then bio saw that the gully ended in n trap ipid heard a little laugh from behind/ the grated window. It was u pretty little laugh, and TrejagO, know ing/ that for all practical purposes the oltH "Arabian Nights" are gi tid guides, went forward to the window and whis pered that verse of "Tho Lovo Hong of liar Dyali" which begins: C'uii a man Statut upright In tho fnco of the nuked mm or u lover lu tlio presence of his bo loved? If my feet full tue, O heart of my heart, urn 1 to blame, being blinded by tho glimpse of your beauty '/ There camo tho faint tchinks of a woman's bracelets from behind tho grating, and a HHle voice went on with tho song at the tilth verso: Alas, alas! Can tlie moon tell tho Lotus of hor lovo when the gate of heaven Is shut und the clouds gather for the mill8? They have taken my beloved mid driven her with tho pnok horses to the north. There are iron chains on tho feet that wuro ?et on my heart. Call to the bownion to make ready Tile voice stopped suddenly, and Tro jago walked out of Amir Nath's gully wondering who in the world could have capped "Tim Love Song of liar Dyal' so neatly Next morning, as ho was driving to office, an old woman threw a packet into his dogcart. In the packet was the half of a broken glass bangle, one flower of the blood red dbak, a pinch of hhusa or cattle food and 1 1 cardamoms. That packet was a letter?not a clumsy, com promising letter, but an innocent unin telligible lover's epistle. Trejago knew far too mnch about these things, as I have said. No Eng lishman should lie able to translate ob ject letters. But Trejago spread all the trifles on the lid of his office box and began to puzzle them out. A broken glass bangle stands for a Hindoo widow all India over, because, when her husband dies, a woman's bracelets are broken on her wrists. Tro jugo saw the meaning of the little bit of the glass. The flower of tho dhak means diversely "desire," "come," "write" or "danger," according to tho other things with it. Uno cardamom means "jealousy. " but when any arti cle is duplicated in an object letter it loses its symbolic meaning and stands merely for one of a number indicating time, or, if incense, curds or saffron be sent also, place. The message ran then "A widow ? dbak flower and hhusa? at 11 o'clock." Tho pinch of bhusa en lightend Trejago. He Haw?this kind of letter leaves much to instinctive knowl edge?that tho bhusa referred to the big heap of cattlo food over which he had fallen in Amir Nath's gully, and that tho message must come from tho person behind the grating, she being a widow. Ho the message ran then: "A widow, in the gully in which is the head of bhusa, desires yon to come at 11 o'clock." 8o bo went that very night at 11 into Amir Nath's gully, clad in a boorka, which clonks a man as well as a wom an. Directly tho gongs in the city made the hour tho little voice behind the grating took up "The Lovo Hong of liar Dyal" at tho verse where tho Paythan girl calls upon Hnr Dyal to return. The song is really pretty in tho vernacular. In tho English you miss tho wail of it It runs something liko this: Alono upon tho house tops, to tho north I turn and watch the lightning In tho sky? The glamour .f thy footstopa In the north. Come buck to mo, beloved, or I diol Below my foet tho Btill bazaar Is laid; Far, far beloW tho weary camels Ho? Tho camels and the captives of thy raid. Conio buck to me, beloved, or I diet My father's wlfo Is old and harsh with yonro, 1 And drudge of all my father's house am I. fiiy bread Is sorrow, nnd my drink is tears. * Comu buck to mo, beloved, or I diet ' As tho pong stopped Trejago stepped I up under tho grating and whisp'jvud. "I am here." 1 Blsesa was good to look-upon. Piatnight, 7/tia the beginning of Hp**.Vigo things and of a donblo do wild that Trejago today somo uxnes wonders if it wore not all a dream. Bisesa or her old handmaiden who had thrown tho object letter had detached tho heavy grnting from the brickwork of tho wall, so that tho window slid inside, leaving only a squnro of raw masonry into which an active man might climb. In tho daytime Trejago drovo through his routine of office work or put on his calling clothes nnd culled on the ladies of tin station, wondering how long they would know him if they knew of poor little Bisesa. At night, when all the city was still, camo tho walk nnder the evil smelling boorka, tho patrol through Jithn Megji's bnsteo, the quick turn into Amir Nath's gully between tho sleeping cnttlo and tho dead walls, and then, -last of all, Bl sesa and tho deep, even breathing of the old womnu who slept outside the door of tho baro littlo room that Dnrga Cbaran allotted to his sistor's daughter. Who or what Durga Cbaran was Tre jago nevor inquired. And why In tho world ho was not discovered and knifed never ocenrrod to him till ids madness was over, and Bisesa? But this comes later. Blsesa was an endless delight to Tro Jago. Sho was as ignorant ns a bird, and her distorted versions of tho rnmors from tho outside world that had reached ! her in hor room amused Trojngo almost as mnch as her lisping attempts to pro- ! nonnce his namo?Christopher. The first syllable was always more than she conin manage, nml she made funny lit tlu gestures with her row leaf bauds, us ono throwing tho name away, and then, kneeling boforu Trejago, asked biro, ox- : actly an mi English woman would do/ if hu weite sure ho loved her. Trejojgo swore that ho loved her more than utny ODS else in the World, which was yruo. After a month.of this folly U>o cxi gencies of inn other life compelled Tro jago to hu ospeeiully attentive to a lady of hin acquaintance. The dews How In the usual mysterious faishion from month to month till Bisresa's duenna b< urd <<f it and told BWsa. Tho child was so troubled that did tbe house hold work evilly ud/ w?? beaten by Durga Cbaran'a wiwi* in consequence. A week litter ly/sc-ia taxed Trejago with the flirtation. Sho understood no gradations andApoke openly. Trejago laug' ed, and ^isesa stamped her littlo feet littlo ft/ot, light as marigold flow ers, that y mid lie in tho palm of a man's on/ band. Mucbi that Is writton about "oriental passion) and Impulsiveness" is exagger a ted/and compiled at secondhand, but a liMtle nf it is true, and when an Eng- ' li/shman tlnds that littlo it is quite us! /f tat tling as any passion in hie own proper life. Bisesa raged and stormed ami dually threatened to kill herself if Trejago did not at once drop tho alien meiusnhib who had come between them. I Trejago tried to explain and to show I her that ehe did liot understand these I things from a western standpoint. Bi Besu drew herself up and said simply. "1 do not. 1 know only this?it is not good that I should have mado you dearer than my own heart to me, sahib. You are an Englishman. I am only a black girl"?she was fairer than bur gold in the mint?"and tho widow of a black man. " Then she sobbed and said -. "But, on my soul and my mother's soul. I lovo you There shall no harm come to yon whatever happens to mo." Trejago argued witL tho child and tried to soothe her, but she seemed quite unreasonably disturbed. Nothing would satisfy her savu that ull relations between them should end. Ho was to go away at one". And he went. As he dropped out at tho window sho kissed his forehead twice, and ho walked homo wondering. A week, and then three weeks, passed without a Bign from Bisesa. Trojugo, thinking that tho rupture had lusted quite long enough, went down to Amir Nath's gully for tho fifth time in the three weeks, hoping that his rap at the sill of the shitting grating would be an Bwered. Ho was not disappointed. There was a young moon, and ona stream of light fell down into Amir Nath's gully and struck tho grating, which wits drawn away as ho knocked. From the black dark Bisesa held out her anus into tho moonlight. Both hands hud been cut off at the wrists, anil the stumps were nearly healed. Then, as Bisesa bowed her head bo tweon her anus and sobbed, some ono in the room grunted like a wild beaat, und something sharp ?knife, sword or epeaf ? thrust at Trejago in his boorka. Thfl Btroko missed his body, but cut into one of the muscles of tho groin, and hi limpid slightly from tho wound for the rest of his days. The grating went into its place. There was no sign whatever from in side the house, nothing but tho moon light strip on the high wall und the blackness of Amir Nath's gully behind. The next thing Trejago remembers, after raging and shouting like a mad man between those pitiless walls, if that ho found himself near tho river ui tho dawn was breaking, throw uwny his bnorka and went homo bureheuded. ? ????? ? What tho tragedy was?wbethar Bi sesii hud in a tit of causeless despair told everything or the intrigue had been discovered and she tortured to toll, whether Durga Chilian know hia name and what became of Bisesa?Trojugo does not know to this day. Something horrible had happened, and the thought of what it must havo been comes upon Trejago in tho night now and aguin and keens him company till tho morn ing. Ono special feature of the case is that he does not know wbero lies the front of Durga Charan'a house. It may open on to n courtyard common to two or more houses or it muy lio behind any ono of the gutes o.' Jitha Megji's bustee. Trejago cannot tell. Ho cannot get Bisesa?poor littlo Bisesa?back again. Ho baa lost bor in tho city Where euch mun'a house is aa guarded und us unknowable us tho grave, nnd the grating that opens into Amir Nath's gully bus been walled np. lint Trejago pays hia calls regularly and ia reckoned u very decent sort of man. There is nothing peculiar about him, except a slight stillness, cau.ed hy a riding strain, in the right leg. Stock HnlnliiK For Yothir Farmern. Young men who are Just starting In tho business of farming should make up their minds as to what kind of stock they will bandlo und should secure tho best of the kind that can be obtained, for hy so doing they are laying tho foundation for a fortune inter on. There Is no money to be made lu rais ing scrub stock, says a correspondent of The rrairlo Farmer. Suppose one man feeds a bunch of common steers and another a bunch of high grades. It will take the same amount of feed nnd perhaps more for the scrub lot to prepare the animals for market^fheli when they art! sold ih'* Vilar'ket will be I from SOjCeatS to $1 higher In favor of tlreliigh grade cattle, and the owner of the scrub lot has lost just that much, for tho ' 'bor nnd expense of raising tho f S have been the same. Nor Is th. . The man who is satisfied to bann., poor stock never has any thing that will induce a buyer to offer n fancy price for from tho fact that his cattle never attract any attention. The cattle I would advise the j'oung farmer to batldlo wotdd bo tho Shorthorns. flPhoy are not only beef cattle, but they are fair milke.s and average butter makers. Their fine form and beauty aro attractive to the eyes of buyers. But they must he well taken care of. They must bo provided with good shel ter and not allowed to run out In the stalkfields all winter. They must be fed well so as to keep them In good condition. Sheep In the Northweit. Of the sheep In the northwest tho Washington I'ost-Intelllgencer says: "In eastern Washington, where sheep raising Is one of tho important Indus tries, tho sheep owners have found woolgrowing to bo profitable again, nnd tho flocks have increased both in number and In value. It is reported that many of the sheepmen hnvo seen their property virtually double in value during the past four years. In Oregon, which Is even more of a sheep state than Washington, tho samo gratifying ehnng is to bo noticed. Something like ,>,.)00,000 sheep aro now owned in that state. In 1800, according to tho government reports, Oregon's flocks numbered 2,680,040. Recent Investiga tions demonstrate that in Oregon at least there in no other Industry which has been stimulated and made more noticeably prosperous than that of S&Oc'BBS AND TIME TO ENJO\' j I-111. Senator Clreety, ol South Dakota, Maid at an Institute last winter thatnianj farmers might well have Ibis inscrip tion on their tombstones: "Stopped doing chorea Oil BUCll It date," instead of saying thoy died. This Isa rather startling way of putting a groat truth. Bui IhO tlOUblO is that those to whom our text carries a lesson will not hoed any ordinary message. They are doing a certain way, have done it for a long time, and it Is no easy task to make them think there is a better way. Now, my good friends, throw aside for a few minutes your inherited notions, your prejudices, and listen to me and sec if there is not sound sense in what 1 ?i\y. Thousands of you have so many thlup" to <lo well ?nu simply can not do all ol them Well, You have so many chores and little jobs outside of the r< gular large ones that the hours of uaylighl, even in summer, are hardly long enough to enable you to gel through. As Henry Vau Dieser, of N. V.. says: "You go to bed tired out and then have to gel up hi fore you are rested." Von have little lime for re creation and Hoctal intercourse. Of course there is an excu-e for such persistent work when one is in debt and tr.vitig to pay for his home. But even then thorn is a question about its paying. I believe one can usually so manage as to get along just as fast and not be so much tied up to this work. Anil then he can got more out of life as he goes along. When the best of one's life is spent in working early and late and almost constant!) to get ahead, the habit is likely to become so tixed that one will not be able to take comfort in later 3ears when be be comes abundantly able to. Can not you think of many who are in just this llx do-day? Do you nol know many men and women who will work and drudge and save lo the very end, never fully enjoying the fruits of their in dustry, only to leave much property, that will usually be a curse to the children who were thus brought up? '?As the twig is bent so the nee in clines." Work, and work hard and persistently, dear friends, for a reason able nmouut of the comforts and luxur ies of tins life, but do it within bounds. Take lime for rest and recreation as regularly as you work. There is no longer any money in half doing any thing. A few things thoroughly well done will actually pay you bettor than more things a part of which have to be slighted. By working this line you may really be able lo put on in less hours thai) you do now and slill make more. And many of you can now puroluiSO some things you produce and be the gainers. Von can thus get rid of little cares and worries and make as much by simply doing a iiltle more in some big line, where you will nol notice the difference. The writer has Worked this all out ye.ns ago, on his farm. Beginning when he was badly in debt lie worked his way out on this plan. The regular work in summet began at 7 a. 111. ami ended at b p. m., as a rule, with an hour out for dinner. In order lo have as lew chores ami odd jobs as possible lor morning and night, we dispensed with all pigs ami chickens ami many other things. We did not make our own bullerat all Two men were kept, as a rule, and they only had to feed and Clean the horses ami milk one cow in the morning, and the same chores after U at night. Thus we wcie able to have breakfast and supper at 0.210, with little work before llie one and none aller llie hitler. Our crops were so planned thai there was no great rush necessary at any time. Wo found that good men, such as we kept, would do as much in lU hours as men or dinarily did who worked from sun lo sun. The truth is. I believe we made more money working this way. 1 rarely did anything myself boforo 7 O'clock or aller f.. Wife ami 1 wore on en out driving when some farmers were, still working, and I think we got ahead about as last as any of them. Now don't say we were favorably situated. We were not at first. We have, worked from daylight in the morning until dark at night began that way, and then we determined to make the situation change. Tor nearly a quarter of a century we kept no pigs or chickens, had no gar den to speak of, made no butter, but just raised clover, potatoes and wheat. One cow was kept to give us milk and cream. We dispensed with calves, colls, oals, corn and lots of oilier things. We. bought what we ncodsd that we did not raise, ami paid on our debts or laid up a nice sum of money yearly, and had considerable tune to en joy life. Some live jears ago I wished to get out of potato growing and the hard work connected with it. We, had made enough, so it was not necessary to look to ibe financial part as closely. So we began a gradual change, am! our son has been wot king into dairying instead of potato growing. Some thought we were going to add to our sources of income, but they were mis taken. All that is done on the farm now is to care for tin; dairy andjffl'OW hay lor theni and wheat. Th^Harc no chickens, no pigs, practicaD^^Mh ing else only thai must : or four calves in order Joj?e?^rm7niest .C9Wfc" -K?rJerl, of COUl'SC, cannot bring his work quite as nearly within the 1(1 hours as we did; he must milk before breakfast, but on Hie other hand he is not crowded as much during work hours a part of the season as we used to be. Now, I am not telling of these tilings expecting that you can do just as wo have, but rather lo show you the principle that will biing you success and give you time teen joy it. In a re cent article you were told how Air. Grcely accomplished llie sonic thing way off in Dakota on a sheep farm, under very different conditions. Of course there are some I realities in the newer Bottled parts of the country where oik; might have lo do quite dif ferently. The conditions there are something as I hey were here 60 01 more years ago. Wo have been able to buy anything we wanted handily, and usually could truthfully say, as Mr. (iro.ely did, that by so doing we made more money than the friend who sold to us. This came from doing throe things on a comparatively large scale and jus s well as we could. We could reduce the cost of product ion on them and make a good profit. Now, dear friends, I have told you the truth just as clearly as I can, as it seems to me. In many cases the prin ciples brought out will bring a more genuine success on your farm if prop erly put into practice, it does the writer more good than you can think, perhaps, to lind that such matters are remembered and made helpful to Prac tical Fanner readers, as numerous let ters testify. lie has on his desk now a letter irom A. W. Grnndon, Steubcn, O., which says: "I am satisfied that some farmers could accomplish as much as they do now by following the advico giveniu one of your letters years ago, to work sharper, but fewer hours; to work more intelligently." And by the way, friend Grandon, this is the way 1 got time to -lick up :i litOo after my <la\ s work wasdouo. You think that advice in a rccoul article was good for well-to-do farmers hut uurfht mislead Bomo. Dou't you sec that] between U and (?.30 at night I Wad lithe to wasli Off Ihe dirt ami dust and put on a clean Shirt and clean overalls, tf I could nff?rd nothing bettor, hut they were clean, and 1 was nmic comfortable und wile was better ploascd. A shirt unu pantaloons were kept icady to tuakc this cluing,., it was more like living than to sit around dirty ami in dirty clothes. And still, perhaps, I would no! have done as well in '.his line if wife had not kept reminding mo. Sho is naturally more neat than lam. How I used to try her patience goiug to lOWU with dirty WOrk-clolho8 on sometimes. You boo during tho ten hours 1 was on the rush, nod if 1 had ail errand to town I just couldn't stop to change clothes. And how ashamed I have bootl when I met some town lady and saw her take in at a glance my Ii I thy condition. I!ul I guess you all have been there. And I hope your wife's entreaties and your own shame in time will cure you, as it did me. We Ought 10 rOSpeclOUr business OUOUgll to dress as well as other business men when we are awav from our work, otherwise farming and farmers will he looked down on. The above is mostly for the men, but to many a dear sister, loo, death has been a relief from everlasting choring. There was a purpose in our koopiug but ono cow aud not making auybut? tor. And having tho meal hours us men tinned the women folks did not have lo get up vory early nor did they have to work very hilt'. As soon as possible water was brought luto the house, anil Ihoro was dry fuel undercover. Later, oil was U9Cd the year around for cook ing and baking because it is 80 much less trouble The kitchen is arranged as handily as possible, lor doing the work. The holding of the house is so arranged as lo make the women scarce ly any trouble. All these things, and many more, did not come by chance, but were, purposely arranged with the intention of improving am. milking work lightor indoors as well as out. Think about Ihose things,good fricuds, and as last as you can try and arrange so as to gel more lime lor youi family and yourself to enjoy life. T. II. Terry in Practical Farmer. ??? ? * Wi COW IT.A HAY UUCP. in a bulletin on cow peas and corn lor silage and fodder, just issued by the 1 lopartiuonl of Agriculture, and prepared by W. Goltys, of Tennessee, ai the request of Secretary of Agiicul ture Wilson, much attention is given to cow pea hay from stubble land. The following i8n report of Stich a crop. The wheat was taken oil as eaily as posssblc after harvest, and in June Ihe land was turned and well ImiTOWCd and rolled, the season heilig favorable for such work. Whippoorwill peas, a bushel to the acre, were sown with an 01'diuary wheat drill. The seed being defective, the stand was not good, but tbe growth was rapid and promised a rich crop of grain. As harvest time approached the thoughl occurred to the writer (hat, while. IheiO might be a mcdium-si/.cd crop Of good hay secured from the land, cut and put away in Iho usual manner, there should be more of the grain saved and utilized than is possible when the crop is handled as ordinary hay, knowing from past ob servation that much, if not most, of ihe grain is scattered ami lost by Un tune the hay reaches Ihe feed mailgcr. The crop was permitted to stand bc? ' fore cutting a few days longer than it 1 wi uld have been for unking hay, so as to give a greater proportion of tho [ pods time to ripen. It was then cut ! with a mower and let lie in the hot sun thirly-six hours, when it was thrown in to light windrows with a hay rake, the I raking being done after sunset, some times by moonlight, when the plant I was lough, lo avoid shattering the ! leaves and grain. After remaining in the windrows twenty-four hours, it was thrown into small cocks and left ex posed to the sun and air forjlnrly-six hours louger, when it was loaded on wagons and taken to Ihe. barn. No thresher suitable I'm the work being available, tho crop was run through the silage culler. The cutler had a shredder attachment, but this, requir ing too speed, was removed and the cutter kn.'e used as with silage. To save, tile threshed peas separately from Iho stover was the next problem en countered. For this purpOSO a section S foot long was cut. out of the bottom of (lie carrier, and a suitable wire screen tacked in place of Ihe solid bottom, which allowed the peas to drop through into a wagon lied on tho ground under neath, while the pea BtOVCr WHS carried on up .'5<i foot into a bai'U loft, where it was well scattered and mixed with other dry feed. TIlO peas were damaged but little iu tbe piocess, and after being run through a band pen cleaner were spread out on a granary floor lo dry a few days before sacking. The bay was not so good as it would have been if cut oavlior, but this was more than count erbalanced by Ihe money value of the peas 8ccurod, which was gwMiUu lhaji, r>TMr^irW~?t tUe^jYJu>?.'. crop just re moved. The land was much benefllod by the growth of the peas, and re quired only tbi! doubling of the disk bat row to prepare an excellent seed bed for the wheat that was to immedi ately follow. Of course, tho harvesting and housing of theemp in this manner required favorable ivoatlior, but not more so (ban would have been requir ed to put away successfully the crop in the ordinary way. CASTOR IA For Infants and Children. The Kind You Have Always Bought Bears the Rignaturo of Tha peat hogs of Ireland and other countries aro likely to have much greater, value, in tho future than they have, had iu the past. The possibilities of peat have been a subject of study for twelve years by Horr /.schemer, of Vienna, and he has found thai, while the grasses and rcods composing it have become chemically changed, the, ilbres have not decayed, but that they are elastic, durable, non-conductors of heat and nun combustible. These propor# ties adapt tins material for many uses. It has been made into a great variety of fabrics, including blankets for horses and cuttle, carpets, window curtains, and paper of various kinds. The fabrics have the strength of linen with warmth of wool. The unSpilQ liber is not without, uses, for it has proven a highly antiseptic substitute for ahsor l out cottons. dears the sf "in miiu tuu naw always The expression "Don't know en ough lo sot a bout," though used in ! derision, points to it task that is not fully uutiorslood. l^Por yours we hutl our journals full iof Iho (plOSllon of moisture for our intoubalors too much moisture or too lit/tie moisture; then the umistuic gauge to- grade the supply; un til some wise head discovered thai the hen whic h hid her\i.esl in the hay-mow brought forth quita as niauy chickens as her sister that laid her nest on the ground under the \nc> n. So it was con- ! eluded that the moisture must come { from the air, and to-day we have the j most successful non-inoistmo machine. There is one other fact tOt be learned from the hidden nest: Usually the hen will lay nol to exceed foNur eggs per week; she hides her liest ni.vd lays out her litter or supply as may- be, from twelve to sixteen eggs, i have seen the bidden nest produce seveiiioe<n chicks, allowing four eggs per week?( some of these eggs were four weeks N old when incubation began, showing ! how the vitality will last under natural j treatment of the hen. But, under the i liest, some of them were lull three weeks old when incubation began. Here is a lesson as to how long the vitality will last prior to incubation. To test this fact, I last season had a basket of 18 Leghorn eggs sent nil-; without unpacking I placed them in the cellar, where they stayed not dis turbed or turned for four weeks; they were placed under a hot! ami produced eight or ten chicks. i hesc questions cannot be theorized on; prior to this test I held to the opinion that eggs three weeks old would be absolutely certain not to hatch The question of the hidden nest led to the other test, the result of which will prompt mo to go farlbei j with the experiment this season, it may be that another trial will prove less successful; then again, 1 will be uncertain. At this lime 1 believe there is difference in the length of the vilali. ty of the eggs from different lloeks Strong, vigorous fowls will give more lasling vitality than over-kept and pampered ones. When the hen selects her nest to hide away tier eggs, she invariable chooses one with solid foundation so that the eggs may he guaranteed from beneath from climate changes. The turkey or guinea hen, wilder by nature, usually selects some secluded spot on the ground that has son.e natural pro tection. In thus selecting, tboy have help from the natural BUri'OUUdlngS lo hold the regular heat from their bodies within the nest. Some tell us that the natural moisture from the ground helps in the progress of incubation. This 1 do not deny. But, if true, why should the hen in the top of a hay mow do equally well ? Pigeon eggs hatch well in the very warmes;, weather in the dry, hoi upper loft id' a barn If the ground is necessaiy for success, why these two differences, as we see them ? The question evidently has not yet been settled, We know thai good results come from our incubators, il a regular and even heat of the proper temperature is maintained. We also know that if al lowed lo chill, the result is bad. The incubator, we know, will batch every good fertile or hatolutblc egg, providing the proper degree, of heal is maintain ed. We also know that at limes the hen does nol hatch all of the so-called hntchablc eggs, clucks dead in the shell are quite a common occurrence with Hie hen. There must be some good reason for this. Providing we cccopl the l henry of the hidden nest, we feel assured thai ; eggs three Weeks old should hatch reasonably well. The moisture or no moisture qUC8lion being settled as lo the incubator, we should nol hesitate to accept the proposition that the nest hidden away ill I he mow must gain its moisture from llie air, which docs away with the necessity of making the nest on the ground. After due consideration of these facts, I am led to hoUoVO that we must find some other reason why e.'gs that should hatch under u hen, do not hatch. We must try some new explanation that may lead US to discover (he cause of the dead-in-the-sbeli chicks under Hu ben. BENEFIT OP THE Hl IM)S. The war which has been made against the P.nglisb sparrows in De troit, with the very agreeable result of nearly exterminating the pests in that community, so thai song birds are said to be returning, calls attention to the ill-advised lights which nro frequently made upon buds which are sometimes supposed lo bo great enemies lo the farm, whereas they may in reality bo just the opposite. For instance, the various species of American sparrows, since they are sometimes seen eating grain and are found at times in con siderable lloeks are thought by some fanners to be an injury rather than a benefit to the farm. As a matter of fact they eat but slight amounts of grain, ye! nil investigation of a huge number of their slomachs show tU^', they are indefnllgahlo weedi seatf" do 'StTOy^rV?;i?teg~ttio ialo fall and winter months. It is estimated on a very conservative basis that thousands of tons of weed seeds are eaten every year by these, tiny foiagers. Oil bright sunny days during the winter they can bo seen in swarms in almost every briar patch and hedge tow busily engaged in picking around for went seeds, and were il not for them it is impossible lo estimate what the natural increase of many hurtful weeds would be. A French scientist has staled that with out birds to eat insects ami wood Seeds, the earth would in a few years become Uninhabitable for man. When if is considered that the almost ontiie food of the majority of lords consists of seeds of some sort and insects or worms, the statement is not improba ble. -- imi ? ? An air perfume, in two papers, on llie plan of BOidlitZ powders, is a French idea. The white paper con tains binoxido of barium saturated with a concenlratedjperfume, while the colored paper holds powdered perman ganate of potash in the proper proper tione to liberate oxygon when the two powders dissolved together. The lib erated ozone or oxygen carries the per. fume into the air,, which it disinfects At Hie same time. Miss Marguerite Cast finished a thousand mile ri.lo on a bicycle In 113 hours and 23 minutes. She weighed 12:i \-2 pounds when she began to ride and 126 l-'J at the end of the thou sand miles. During the 113 hours and J.'! minutes she rested 22 hours and 64 minutes, of which 10 hours and 16 minutes were spent in sleep. Insanity is not largely due to mental worry, according to Dr. Clouston, of the Poyal Bdinbuigh Asylum. He traces only 11,6 per cent, of the cases to this cans.., bodily affections?drink, faulty dovolopment, etc.,?being the chief source. THE REARING OF HEIFER CJALVfcS. GoriQSUOUd6nC6 of ProKressivo Farmer. J Female calves are our dairy reei nils, and on then proper rearing largely de pends their future usefulness. Some dairymen of scan I experience, imagine that when a calf develops in to the proportions of meow, no matter what vieb Hudes >he encounters dining her growth, that she is then ready to become a paying animal. Dairymen should banish such false notions from their beads if they desire to possess cows of any merit, llcinember, that calves cannot be raised too well. It pays to force their growth all that yon can. Dono! slop them much with sour whey or old buttermilk. Feedh both to them in a fresh state. They should have the fico run of a partially shaded pasture, in which (here is a good growth of mixed grasses containing some clover. Offensive surroundings, like proximity to a Jiarnyard or stable is inimical to the wealthy development of growing calves. I Sweet skimmed milk as it comes ?'roni 1 lie separator or creamery will intake bone and sinew for calves, 08 [Bccially if a little oil meal is added toil. \ Never try to raise a calf that lacks good natural vitality. There arc phbuly enough animals born that can bet grown into profitable healthy cows, Without trying to rutSQ the puny ones. I (inco knew a farmer so economical i lInfi he. put his calves and pigs in the saipe enclosure. What was the re sult, ? Why, in a short lime the poor cal'ves were in such a sprawny slate, that although speedily transferred to a frosih pasture, they never fully recover ed vrom the effects of swine companion shi|* in n i summer. The. troughs or buckets out of which calves are fed thehl' milk or Whoy should be washed and (scalded at least OUCC daily. Ncglcv.1 : in til is direction is of frequent occur- ] eucel and is one cause for failure in rearixig good calves. Anlolher thing that I consider not a blt\ sentimental, and when put in practiye of great practical value, is to make Jpets of the calves. These young animaus are very amenable to kind gently Iroatmont, and if daily fondled ut fceUiug tune, will grow up to be docile] cows, which adds lo their com mercial ami milking value at least 2? per cejnt. If you do not believe so, just tny the plan and sec. ?kouok 13. Nkwkli.. An iostitnato o? tlie possible value of the grwatpent l>c<is of North Gorrunuy has been made by Dr. Franks. He llnds lliat an acre of turf, 10 feet thick, gives 1 ,000 tons of dry turf, equiva lent to |180 tons id coke, und that the mosses Jof the Kvus Valley, covering 1,000 sfquare miles, might yield the equivalent ol 300,000,000 tons of pit coal, ob- more than tlx; total production of Uerunany for three years. It is proposed That the peal be burned at central (stations of 10,00(1 horse power capacity!, consuming annually the pro duct of j'OO acres. The power would 1)0 useful! on the new canal connecting Dortmund) to the Kvus, hut more so in the manlufaclure of calcium carbide for acotyuono. With 10,000 horse power, Uljo aCOlyleUO produced would have an oLnnual value equal to that of 20,000 loiis of imported petroleum. FotroloutU residue is now used as fuel for (lie locomotives on thirteen percent. o!f the llussinn railroads, li is required!that the oil ho of a green ish color, rlicvor black, and free from sulphur ano1 sand. Its specific gravity must not exceed 0.011 at (13 deg. F., its hoillug point not to fall below 284 degrees. To ensure fuel for winter, when transportation is difllcult. storage tanks are placed at intervals along the railways, anul have capacities up to J.'.utl tons. (The locomotive carries about live tons, which is stored under the water tatiik of the tender, i ST?F HAIR . "v T *r v Slow growth of hair comes from lack of hair food. The hair has no life.
