II It was Ted's birthday ; he was dress ed in Iiis liest for the afternoon's out ing in the park, and he was very par ticular not to soil his new shoes at the CtOSSing, so he kept a lookout for dry spots, until some one called to him : "Hollo, Teddy !" said a friendly voice from the florist's window. "You look very fine this morning." "It's my birthday, and I'm seven years old to-day," Ted answered proudly. ?'Well, well, you're quite a man, sure enough !" Mr. burke laughed. "Wait a moment, Ted, 1 have just the thing you want." lie came out pres ently with three long-stemmed yellow tea-roses, their cups of gold fairly brim ming with delicious fragrance. "Been training them for this very oc casion," he explained cheerily, "and they opened just in time. They'll keep a long while if you're real care ful." Ted was inordinately fond of flow ers?yellow tea-roses by preference? he had them on birthdays, hr lidays and as often between times as his mamma could afford ; but there had hi en no roses of late ; things had gone woe fully wrong at the ollice, and Ted had to bo contented with looking at the plants in the llorists' windows. He thanked Mr. Burke, and walked away with the roses held protectingly out of range of hurrying pusscrs-by ; and it was hard to say which was the lovelier, the roses or the cherub face above them. The. crowd blocked his progress at the. street corner, and while he waited he heard a man say, in a low, distinct voice : "Yonder's that miser, Northcut, the poorest man in New York." "And the most unhappy," said his companion. Ted had the curiosity to run ahead to look at the most unhappy man in New York. He was very tall and thin and sick looking. Ted wondered how he came to be so well dressed, for even to his unpracticed eye, lie present ed a good appearauce. Somebody must have given him his old clothes, of viourse, just as papa always gave his clothes to poor people. Ted watched him with sympathetic inter est, and even followed him to the door of a nearby restaurant where he took a seat at a side table, and Ted could see his face very plainly. Yes ; he certainly did look very unhappy, and no one senmed to care about him in the least ; ho would just slip in and give him a rose? that would please him. Ted picked out the largest and hand somest rose and carried it carefully up the fast tilling aisle between the tables and laid ;' >n the table before the poor^- ...ippicat man in New Vo*1 started, turned round, and eyed the little donor sharply. "Hello, who are you?" lie asked very brusquely. "I'm Ted Winterburn," came the surprised answer. The old man's lips moved and he seemed about to ask another question. He knew Ted's father well, indeed ; he had him in a "corner," where lie intended to keep him till Iiis last dol lar was gone. The thought of that triumph gave him a great deal of sat isfaction when he remembered certain affairs of the past in which Winter bum had defeated his interests. "Hum I" he muttered, "roses in mid-winter I Such extravagance ? Ho deserves Iiis had luck. "I don't think you'd better give these away," he said aloud ; "they don't belong to you." "Why, yes, they does !" Ted an swered indignantly . "Mr. burke ftived them to mo for mv birthdav." "Oh, he did ? Well, that's different. He took the lone-stemmed rose in his thin hand and sniffed at it gingerly. "Much obliged, I'm sure," he said, on second thought. . Ted looked over the meager fare pityingly. If there was anything in the world he disliked it was cambric tea and dry toast, sueh as he saw lying on the poor man's plate. lie could not know that hi? friend's jaded appe* tiU ictused to take anything hut the merest necessities. He sipped the cambric tea in silence until the waiter brought Ted a glass ot milk on a silver salver. "Take It," said the man authorita tively, and Ted found that he was really very thirsty. "No.w," said the poor man, when Ted put down the empty glass, "I'd like to know why you gave me that rose ?" "B6CAU86 I feel sorry for you," came the slow and truthful answer. "Sorry ? And why ?" he demand ed. "Because you's ib? vory poorest and bOTiest mar> lu Now York." "Tho pOOieSt man in New Vork !" ho echoed, grimly. "Who told you that ?" "I don't know his name. 'Twas a man on the street, and he tellcd an other man that." "Oh I" with a queer, mirthless smile, "and you feel sorry for a poor, friendless stranger ?" "Yes, I docs," said Ted, very grave ly and sweetly. Thero was a little embarrassed pause, during which the keen, hollow eyes looked into Ted's beautiful fac.o as though searching for somothing, which thoy must have found presently, for the dark, old face relaxed into a srailo, which utterly contradicted the bard, lines about the thin lips. *?I thank you very much for the rose, my little friend," ho said, "but - >st of all for the sweet thought that ipted your kindness. It's many a y since I've had such a precious added, with a queer broak in 1 his pocket a memo random und scribbled a few words across Ihe face of a printed note.

Papa sat at the table stirring his tea absently and looking over a long row of ligures in the latest paper. "(iorry, do try to eat something," said mamma, anxiously, from her place at the head of the table. i Ted went over and laid the crumpled paper beside his plate, and his father leaned over and glanced at it uuscem mgly, but Us contents caught and riv eted ids instant attention.

The stout man had jostled and fought his way though the crowd at the. en trance to the Brooklyn bridge, and was scowliug fiercely as he pushed out a big dent in his hat, says the Youth's Companion. The stout man pointed to the batter ed hat and sa.d : "1 believe men?and women, too, for that matter?are no better than savages. It's every one for himself. Not a day passes but that I see something which convinces me that civilization is only skin deep." "I'm afraid you sec only one side of it," replied his neighbor. "There art lots of goo.l things to be seen every day, too. Now, here is some thing that ?ives me a great deal of happiness during the year." lie pull ed a small note book from au inside pocket. Then he went on : "I used lo feel as you do?that people arc very selfish ; hut when 1 began to study them more closely I saw so many pleasant things that I got in the habit of makiug notes of them. .Here's what I jotted down to-day, for in stance : '?On my way to the bridge this morning my hat blew off. 1 chased it, but before 1 reached it three other men were after It, and one of them caught it for me.

The planting of crimson (Mover is incriasing very rapidly at the South, J as its merits hecome hotlor known ami j the proper method of culture better understood. 1 suppose more failures have result ed from late planting than from any other cause, although other failures have been brought about by covering the seed too deeply, sowing on poor i laud, deficient in potash, and by plant- I iug in an exposed piece of land where the young plants had no protection from the direct rays of the sun. One of my neighbors plowed in his clover seed last summer with a turn plow and then wondered why they did not come up. 1 will explain in passing, that this gentleman is not actually one of my neighbors, but a oily man who' owns a place near us on which lie spends the money he makes in the city. Our best success has come from clo ver sown in August and up to the mid dle of September. That planted in Novembci of last year amounted to nothing at all, and that sown in Octo ber gave half R crop. Our finest patch was on a piece of rich clay loam. The land has been in sweet corn with cow peas sown he* tween. The cars of corn were sold green and the stalks cut and fed to stock. The peas made a rank growth and were cut for hay about August l?th. As the vines had lodged badly, quite a heavy stubble was left on the land. The corn had been cultivated almost perfectly level and it was there fore an easy matter to prepare |the seed-bed for our clover. We went in here after a light rain with a cutaway harrow and worked the top up well, then sowed our seed?a peck to the acre?and harrowed them in lightly with a smoothing harrow. by this means the stubble and trash were left on top of the ground, and this not only helped to bring up the seed, but furnished the needed protection to tho young plants. Within a week they were up nicely and grew off well from the start. Another patch was sown a lit tle later among sonic growing beans on a sandy Hat, the seed being har rowed in between the rows immediate ly after cultivating the beans. This, patch did not do nearly so well as the first, and 1 am inclined to think that it was not all owing to the time of plant ing, but was principally attributable to the soil, which although fairly fertile, was not nearly so rich In potash as the clay land upon which the first patch was planted ; all sandy soils being more or less deficient in this element of plant food. When we take into consideration tho fact that crimson clover contains a very large per cent of potash, we can read ily see that its absence would mate rially affect the crop. Another time I should use on this land about '200 lbs. of muriate of potash, or 800 lbs. of kainit to the acre, as this has been found to givo line results by those who have tried it. Clovers will not grow on poor land, deficient in potash, and it is useless to waste seed on such ground unless you supply the potash and phosphoric acid artificially. Nitrogen it will get from the air. I washed out a number of plants last spring, and was astonished at the large number of tubercles form ed on the roots of a single plant, and in which the bactoiia live that gather the nitrogen from the air. It has been estimated that a good crop of crimson clover will gather and store in the soil in the neighborhood of 8K? worth of nitrogen to the acre besides giving you a good crop of hay. Is not this worth working for? Is it not cheaper than buying nitrogen on the market at IG cents per pound ? Sec that the chem icals, potash and phosphoric acid aro supplied to your soil, and get your nit rogen, which costs three times as much, free from the, air, by growing crimson clover and cow peas. Our best acre of clover was cut the last of May and gave us two tons of the finest kind of hay, which all of our stock ate greedily. The sod was turned under and we havo the land now in late tomatoes, and shall proha bly again sow to clover when we &ive our tomatoes their last working. Wc havo had remarkably good suc cess in sowing crimson clover between growing corn, or anything which fur nishes a partial shade for the young plauls. It is an ideal cover crop, standing our coldost winters here and growing at a season when in all likeli hood flic land would otherwise he barren. It not only prevents the leaching of nitrates out of the soil dur ing our heavy and continued rains in winter, but procures more of this much needed element of plant food from the air, at the same time. Plant crimson clover and cow peas and increase the fertility of your soil. All the nitrogen necessary for ordinary farm crops can be secured in ?bis way. P. J. Mkuimam. SOMETHING ABOUT MILLETS. Those millets most commonly known in the United States come within the designation of "foxtail" millets. They delight in rich, warm loamy soils and will not thrive in soils that are poor and thin. This is particularly the case with the coarser varieties like German millet. Common millot and Hunga rian usually give better results under adverse conditions of soil and climate than the other varieties commoulv grown in this country. The foxtail millots arc strong, rapid growers, and draw nourishment largely fion. the surfacclsoil. The great mass of strong, fibrous roots have a beneficial effect on the physical condition of the soil, par ticularly in the case of lands recently brought under the plow. A crop of millet ou new breaking aids materially in subduing the land and in preparing it for the succeeding crop. In many localities, notably in the West, millet is an excellent crop to precede corn. For a millet crop a fertile, mellow soil is preforable. Loams with but little clay and not too much sand give tho best results. For spring sowing tho land may bo plowed in the same man ner and about the same time, or per haps a little later, as for a crop of corn. Millets draw their nourishment largely from the surface soil ; honcc, the sup ply of plant food should be concentra ted in the upper layers of the soil, and should he in forms readily available to the plant. If the surfaco soil docs not already contain sufficient available plant food this should ho supplied. On ihe rich prairies of the Wost, littlo if any, fertilizing will bo found ncccssmy. In caso tho land is cloddy,as frequent ly happens when much clay is present, the harrow or roller should be used to reduce the surface to a smooth condi tion. This is necessary, because, it is of prime importance that tho seed bod should bo in condition to insure prompt germination and an oven development of tho grass , it also facilitates tho harvesting operations. In the Wost it is the common praclico to delay tho preparation of the land for millet un. til nerr corn planting. This allows the lir?t growth of weeds to get well start ed, and tbe thorough plowing required in preparing the laud leaves it so well cleaned that the millet easily keeps ahead <?f the weeds. If the land is very foul the crop may he out early he fore the second growth of weeds goes to seed and the land plowed again. Used in this way, millet is one of the best crops that can be grown for the purpose of ridding the land of weeds. When millet is sown late in the season as a catch crop or as a second crop, af ter rye or some other early maturing crop has been harvested, it is not al ways expedient lo go to so much trou ble iu preparing the land. The seed may be sown ou the freshly plowed stubble ; or, if the laud is quite loose and mellow, as is the case iu parts of the West, the stubble may be disced or gone over with a cultivator to kill the weeds, and the seed sown and harrow ed in. This discing or cultivating is Ihe most common practice when millet is used as a catch crop. The seed may be sown broadcast or with a grain drill. Ordinarily there is but little If any choice between the two methods when the crop is to be cut for hay, ex cept lhat the drilled seed gives an OVOnor stand and a little less seed is required. For a crop of grain or for soiling or ensilage, drilling will gener ally give better results. The common practice is lo sow from one-half to three quarters o*' a bushel of seed of foxtail or broomcorn millet, or one fourth to one-half of a bushel of barn yard millet, per acre for a nop of hay, and somewhat less for a crop of grain, lllch, well-prepared land will require less seed than that which is poor and thin, and it is not necessary to use i quite so much seed when tho erop is to be ensiled or fed in the fresh state as When it is intended for hay. Cutting foxtail millets for hay should never be delayed until the seed has begun to j ripen, particularly if it is to be fed to horses. On the other hand it is bost not to cut too early, as the hay is liable to have a more or less laxative effect upon the animals eating it. The hay may be Halely cut any lime during the period from complete heading out to late bloom. One of the best methods of preserving this crop is by the use of the silo. Those who have tried this method have obtained excellent re sults. A line quality of ensilage may be made by using barnyard millet and a leguminous crop like soy beans or clover. The broomcorn millets are not difficult to cure and the same meth ods may he employed as for any coarse grass. The common practice is to use a horse mower or a scythe when cut ting for hay or soiling. In localities where curing takes place rapidly and there is little or no rain during haying time, the self-rake and self-binder have been used with good results.?Prairie Far i>i i r. ? ? mm Medical experts have convinced a Vienna jury that a railway accident caused a change of the heart of the plaintiff from the normal position to one lower down in the laxly, where it could be felt beating as usual.

What a race ! The train was just pulling out of Httglc wood, puffing and panting with its mighty efforts. As it slowly gained speed it came on a lot of low headed children roosting' on a fence, who shout, d and waved as the cars came up, and then, as if with acotil moil iiiipiil--- . vi ry child leaped to the ground and ? ? a race with the train. The race wan id sin rl duratiou. As the machine left the panting little runners behind, a gray hatted onlooker smiling sadly remarked: "Voting America all over. Nothing too swift for theui to race against." "Yes, yon couldn't find a fitter exemplification of the familiar suying, 'The child is the father of tue titan ' than In that group or' children racing against the train. It's hut a preliminary heat of the great race their parents are engaged in. As a physician I realize as perhaps you do not," he continued, "the erroneous change that fifty years have made iu our national ltfc. People point hack to grandmothers and greatgrattdmottters and say LOOK AT THUM ! Compare them with the women of to-day ! How straight they were ami how strong, how hardy and how helpful they were, how heartily they ate and how heartily they laughed. To day, as men and women, millions of us do in earnest what those children did in play ; we're keyed up to the straining point all the time, and the nerves won't atattd the daily strains and drains without protest." There is a ton of solid fact to reflect on, suggested by the statement just quoted. What are wc going to do? This is the age of steam, the age of electricity. We must keep up in TUB ORB AT HACK. But how long can we keep tip? No longer, relatively, than the children kept up their race with the train. What we need is more brawn, more blood and better blood. Strength of body depends on a pare and plentiful blood current, for science has never advanced a fact beyond the state ment of Moses that "The blood is The Life." But every generation of investiga tion shows the statement to be true in a wider, deeper, and broader sense than was dreamed of in the past. Dr. Pierce's Goldon Medical Discovery begins at the beginning with the blood. It cures prac tically a wide range of diseases because many forms of disease have their origin in the blood. It is a scientific compound based, not upon theory but upon the prac tical, common sense proof that if you purify, enrich, and vitalize the blood you overcome disease in any organ. The "Golden Medical Discovery" heals dis ease in just this way. It begins first of all to strengthen the body through the blood, and every ounce of new blood and pure blood counts against disease. "It was near the Utile town of I.iToy. W. V?., Otiri during the month of March, 1896, tlint a young* in.in 1.1 y palp mid motionless upon (what (he ncighl-ors called) his dying lied.

The manner of feeding and the na ture of the food 1ms the greatest in ttueuce of all ill developing dairy pre potoucy. There is (scarcely a Bcieniiflo tuet more generally accepted than that food is potent in forming the animal, and in establishing function. The hatched egg of a bee, if fed in one way, produces tho sterile worker, while if fed loyal jelly in a royal cell, there is produced an egg-laying queen. Animate which feed on llesh and blood are fierce, while those which sustain life on coarse vegetable matter are usually mild and timid iu disposition. Protciu nOUlishment induces various functional celi activities, while Starches, I and other hydrocarbons induce fatty dispositions, and so on; bin the mere prosonco of such elements iu the blood j coursing through the body has com paratively Small inlluenco unless I special nervous stimulation directs the blood forcibly to the pari to be develop ed and stimulate cellular activity. Nevertheless, if a certain special ele ment is in the blood, that element will to some extent of itself alone induce activity in those cells largely composed of such special ?dement; while cells making use of other elements will remain comparatively oulescont. Ii should also bo remembered that a food largely composed of oue nourish ing element, if brought in contact with the particular digestive surlaee that digests and assimilates it, will itself act as a stimulating irritant by mere mechanical contact as well perhaps as by chemical and biological activity, and such stimulating efl'cct will la; kept up while such food is present. Sometimes such i'ritution becomes excessive and injures the digestive surface through over, and hence abnormal action. To develop function, therefore, food should not be cither too oasy of digestion, or too difficult, and it should be of such bulky character as to insure a sullicient ly continuous contact with all of the par ticular digestive surfaces involved in its digestion. It is generally acknowledged that feeding for unlk production must com mence at the youngest age. For the best effect, that period is in the earliest stages of foetal life, and a narrow ra tion is good for the future cow, ad ministered to the dam carrying the calf in utero, as well as to the newly born calf. It seems to me that some modification of prevailing usage in the feeding of the immature cow would en hance dairy prepotency. For example, it is regularly recommended by most authorities that young dairy stock ' should bo kept thriftily growing, and i almost always, by means of the feeding of skimmilk. for quite a lengthened period, along with oats and oilier cou : centraled aud easily digested food. There is good economic reason for such advice in ordinary dairyman's practice, but we are now considering means of incieasing dairy prepotency, and with that object in view it seems as if snc.li advice might fail of the special object, if practiced. As for fatness in the young dairy animals, that of course should be ruled out-, but should not also any tendency loa sappy condition of growth in the general frame also be avoided ? Where is the value of having a dairy animal j whose hide on its back or sides will handle like, a kid glove ? The integu ment of the udder should be of that character, and the tissues of the udder should be of a sappy nature, hut not the tissues of the balance of the body if possible. It seems to me that a con dition that would almost be considered ' as stunted should be mantamcd in the j dairy animals at all times, except when : she would be in calf or in milk, in or der to repress exuberance of blood How as much as possible to those parts of the body in which such a How is nover wanted. And furthermore, that any marked activity the digestive and assimilative organs should only be en couraged during those periods when the mammary tissue is receiving its local nerve stimulus and is cngagL''. in its functional activity. In this way there would be a great probability of increasing the relative development ami activity of the mammary apparatus tendency.? Hoard's Dairyman. mm ? mi INN'ION T IONS AND FARMING. As with manufacturing, so with farming?inventions have so reduced the cost, of production lhat there is more propriety in saying that we manu facture wheat than in saying that we raise it. Indeed, there is scarcely a thing done on a farm to-day in which patent ed machinery docs not pciform the gieater part of the labor. The grain is sowed, cut, bound, thrashed, clean ed, sacked, stored and transported by machinery; the corn is planted, cul tivated ami cut by machinery, while the mower cuts, the tedder spreads, the horscrake gathers, the liayloadcr loads and the carrier unloads the. hay. The potatoes are planted and dug by 1 patented machines or implements, and even the hogs are slaughtered and the chickens hatched by machinery. In the household we have the sew ing machine, the washing machine and wringer, the egg beater, the nutmeg grater, the meat grinder, the potato shredder and countless other imple ments, all the result of the patent system; in fact, one cannot touch a thing, in tho factoiy, on the farm, in the office or the household that does tiot bear tho impress of patented inven tion. Without the patent system these inventions would probably not have existed. To-day all Kuropo is alarmed at American progress in that line, and he,r public men and press everywhere agree that America's wonderful growth is due to her patent system.? W. V. Dodge in Cussier's Magazine Attempts to produce an oxygen water Imve proven unsuccessful, ac cording to Dr. Wender, because oxy gen alone does not Impart an agreea ble taste. Using both oxygen and caibonic acid, a Herlin establishment has now produced a compound water that not only lias a pleasant neid taste hut is given high therapeutic value by the oxygen. It is prepared by im pregnating the water first with carbonic acid at 4 atmospheres, then with oxy gen up to 8 atmospheres, and drawing off at 0 atmospheres, Tho product is clear and refreshing. The cost of ox ygenating is but a fraction of a cent pel 100 bottles, and the oxygen ii ob tained in a compressed stntc in steel bottles, like carbonic acid.

I'arville, consists of 00 parts of nickel powdered nod 40 parts of white clay, the mixture, which con tains not more than (> per ccut. of water, being brought to the desired form by a pressure of .'100 pounds per sfpiare inch. Tc reduco the resistance at tho contact points, theso have tho proportion of 00 per cent, of nickel powder and 10 of clay. The great solidity of tho now compound is an important advantage EXPERIMENT stations in hawaii and PORTO RICO. In the act making improprialinus for tho II. s. department of agriculture for tho present llscal yoar Uougross pro vide<l for tho inaugurattou of oxpori meut stations in the islands of Hawaii and Potto Rico. In accordance with this provision, the department lias taken preliminary steps to determine the liest plan of operations in each case and the subjects which are in most need of immediate attention. The work has been placed in charge of the OlllCO of experiment stations, and the following information in relation lo the action taken by that oftlcc is from Experiment Station Itecord, Vol. XII, No. 1 , SOOII to be Issued. Prof. s. a. Knapp, of Louisiana,has been selected lo investigate tho agricul tural conditions ami possibilities of Porto 11 ICO, and went to the island in .(line. He will study (he existing ag ricultural conditions, Hie lines of ex perimental investigation which should bo undertaken there, locations suitable for stations, and the approximate ex pense of inaugurating ami maintaining the work, lie will also look into the feasibility of liodortaklug cooperative experiments with the residents of Porto Kico Hiul Ihu best means of reaching tlic people through publication*, de monstration experiments, ami other wise. Dr. W. ('. Slubbs, director of tlic Louisiana expel iinenl stations, will make ihn preliminary survey of the conditions in the Hawaiian Islands. He sailed lor Hawaii about the middle of July and will spend the month of August in the islands. The condition: there differ from those ill l'orlo ltico, as a station for experiments in sugar production has been maintained by private beneficence for D number tit years. The lines in which investi gation is most needed, the possibility of j greater diversification of agriculture, the expense of the work, and the means of disseminating information will bo carefully inquired into. This will probably prove a profitable field for investigations on the use and economy of water in irrigation, since, according to reliable reports, m no other place is so much money expend ed for pumping water for irrigation. Some pumps are said to be nosing .'50, 000,01)1) gallons of water per day from a depth of auo feet, and the expense of irrigation in some cases reaches as high as $120 tier acre annually. Thrift Vs. Shift.?-The trend of development?how the farmer and the horticulturist follow the lumberman and the turpentine man ?may be seen along any of the railroads in the pine belt of Georgia. Attractive and pro* ductive farms, orchards, vineyards and gardens now occupy spaces that were formerly Wild woods, and from lime tti time one sees a herd of line cattle where formerly only ?'scrubs'' of the pine barrens were, to be found. As noticeable, too, has been the change ill tin; character of the majority of popu lation of such sections. Formerly they were peopled principally by rough, nomadic, shittless and often criminal negroes, who worked about the saw mills or upon the turpoutitio farms.

Whatever may ho said for or against the advisability of having agriculture taught in our common schools, thcic is at least one sub ject closely connected with soil tillage which seems an un deniably proper subject for study in all schools. Every person, whether actively engaged in agriculture pur suits or uol, nude as well as female, should possess some knowledge in regard to what common animals aiu friends and what are foes of mankind. I'here are many animals against which the mnjoiity of persons have a more or less settled pre judice and which are decidedly useful to man, such a-, the toad, the snake, the skunk, the cow, the owl, balk, etc. Then there are others, like the qunil and many of our smaller birds which are not less useful, but allowed to be hunted down, maimed or killed for spoil. We also have a largo number of insects that aro decidedly beneficial by feeding on in jurious insects and keeping thorn in check. The writer will remembers how greatly he was interested in bis lessons in natural history taught him when he wenl lo school, and it seems quite reasonable to suppose that similar lessons might be made most interest ing to the children in our common schools. It would be all the more in structive, all the more interesting, if such instruction should be aided by means of wooden or papier mac.be models, or of good pictures. People should learn to distinguish between friend and foe, and the common school is the place to begin, bet us hope that the agricultural press will second Ibis motion, and keep urging the matter un til our school authorities will take it I up. In New York Stale, the subject j Of alcohol and of the pernicious effect of intoxicating beverages, is made a ! compulsory branch of study. Legisla tures might be induced lo enact a similar compulsory law concerning the teaching of natural history, with special reference to the question whether a creature is useful or other wise to the human race.?
