A Railway through a we#*rt.
By the completion of the line of railway
from Krasnovodsk to Kizil Arvat the Rus
siau Government have finished the first
section of the Transcaspian railway, which
is intended to bring the territory recently
conquered from the Turcomans into direct
communication with both the Caucasus and
the interior of Russia. The port of Kizil
Arvat has long been one of some importance
and during the eventful period of the last
Hi years it has played a considerable part
in Russian operations in this quarter, and
now, as the actual terminal point of 'his
lailway, it is not likely to sink into insig
nificance. From Krasnovodsk. which,
at ter the suggestions of several alternative
piaces, seems destined to remain the prin
cipal Russian haibor on the eastern side of
the Caspian, to Kir I Arvat the distance is
about 200 miles. The country through
which the line parses is mostly desert, I>-
ing between the Balkan ranges, and com
pletely waterless, save at the few spots
M here wells are to be found. Of these,
the principal are those at Mollah Karl, Tas
geer and Kayandjik. Although the scar
city of water has hitherto constituted an
obstacle in the path of an aruiy or of a
caravan, it is probable that the Russian en
gineers are right iu saying that a sufficient
supply can always be procured en route
for the eugmes, while the naptha springs
of the Caspian provide a cheap and easily
obtain*'' e fuel. It is not to be exp cud
that the Russians will remain loug content
with Kizil Arvat as the termiuus of their
new line, especially as a brisk trade is like
ly to spring up wiih the Turcomans, and
also with the towns on the northern lior
ders of Persia. East of Kizil Arvat tho
difficulties of engineering are very much
less than thos*e that presented themselves
vest ot that ph.ee, although these were
not very formidable, and have been snc
ceasf 1. overcome. As Russia has formally
annexed the iegion up to Ashkabad, which
is about the same distance from Kizil At vat
that that place is lroui Ivrasuovodsk, there
will probably be no further delay than fin
ancial considerations may mipoae in carry
ing the line to the capital of the n w t aus
caspian province. Toe euergy shown in
improving their means ot communication
with this new possession is in striking con
trast wi h the ind ff.-ience or sluggiihuess
exhibited by the Rinfeiau autnoritka in odi
er paits of Ada. Wb le i ashseuu reina ns
more r mute from MJSCOW than our pos
sessions the autipodes are from Loudon,
and while the resources ot Liberia are un
developed tor warn of railroads and canals,
the ssu e six mouths have witnessed the
subjection oi a 1 rave rtce and the connec
tion of tin ir subdued territory with the
main lints ot communication in the em
pire. To pietend that this exceptional en
ergy has Lot a peculiar significance would
be to Disregard tacts, nor, although we
may repeat thai there is uoihing unreason
able in Russia desrnng to bring her latest
Central Asian acquisition into direct com
munication with tiflis or Derbeud, cantne
plain fact be ignored that the first section
in a line of railway must one day connect
Russia with Meshed, and possit ly with
Herat also, has been successfully laid down
and opened for traffic. It may very well
be that at some tuture period we shall
have to recognize in this peaceful triumph
of human skill a circumstance net less
pregnant with important consequence* to
the destinies of Asiat.c peoples and powers
than the fall of kingdoms and the destruc
tion of dynasties.
Work of* Farmer's Wife.
1 am a farmer's daughter, and a farmer's
wife, and know how many hours of hard
labor we have to perform from one year's
end to another. 1 also know the ways and
means contrived by ourselves to obtain a
little pocket money which we may use as
we please—not to spend "loafing 'round,"
but for the comforts of our homes. Still,
with all the toil of a farm life, I would not
exchange it for a life in town with double
the income. Now, let me tell you some of
the hard-working members of tlij Home
how I have obtained quite a revenue the
two past seasons. The head of the family
said 1 could have all the poultry 1 could
raise, but at the same time added that it
would be time and trouble thrown away.
I bad turkeys and heDS. The first year
had poor success on accouht of storms and
accidents. The third year sold twenty six
dollars worth of eggs, and received over
eighty dollars in the fall for my poultry,
and did nit get fancy prices. The third
season Oast summer and fall) I sold thirty
eight dollars worth of eggs, and my turk
eys brought forty dollars. When I add
that I did all the household work on a
large farm, often milking, feeding hogs,
and not one minute's help even in thresh
ing time, you will acknowledge the money
ws well earned, but, as I look around the
house, and see hat comforts it has brought
I wouder how 1 got along without them.
Every dollar was used for something that
would benefit the whole family, except a
trifle given to some one whom I knew to
be very needy. I find that young turkeys
must have black pepper mixed with their
food. It is also well to give a trifie of red
pepper. Give them corn meal after they
are ten days old, but scald it in sour milk,
in a kettle"kept for the purpose. If they
araccoped up their coop must be moved
every day or they will die. if young tur
keys have a turkey mother, she will be apt
to keep them dry through cuite as tor in.
When they are reared with a hen they
must be furnished with a shelter when it
rains. Now. how many rosy lassies in the
Home circle are going to volunteer to rise
at five o'clock every morning from now till
the first day of June next, and prepare
breaksast with her own hands while tired
mother naps?
Paradise.
The boys Had been telling a few fish,
turtle and snake stories, to which he
listened attentively. When they had all
finished, old Mossy gave a pitch or two
and unlimbered. "Wall boys, I never
have doubted am sort o' huntin' story
sence my turtle scrape down on the bot
loin." the boys all looked inquiringly
and he proceeded : "I was poking round
down thar one day last year when I
came across the darndest old lookin'
turtle I ever seen. Why, the moss was
an inch thick .on his back, and the old
cuss could hardly wiggle his tail. I cut
a stick to measure the depth of the moss
on his back and aceidently scraped ofl a
hunk of it, when I seen some letters.
So I scraped it all off, and thar in big
letters was writ 'B. C.,' followed by the
figures '567.' Wall, I stud up kinder
faint like, and tuk my hand off on him
to sorter rub my old head, when he
fetched a flop to git away and slid down
the bank a bit and turned clean over,
when I'll be dogened, if thar warn't
printed in the biggest kind o' capitals on
his belly just aliind his forelegs, 'Adam,'
and down a little furder, nigh his hind
leg (in the same style that they put the
ame of the town on dog collars), was
printed in small type, 'Paredise!'"
AGRICULTURAL.
BARLEY FOR FEEDING —ln this country
barley is used uiiviuly for brewing ; iu
Europe and Eastern countries it is fed to
stock, particularly horses. As compared
to oats it is more nutritious and less lieal
tiug. The product of an acre of barley is
of more value as food for horses or other
animals than the product of an acre of
oats of equal quality. The grain being
harder when dry than oats, it cannot lie
consumed so well ni a raw state, but it fed
ground it should bo soaked in water or
boiled. When ground aud fed Iu conjunc
tion with cut fodder, there is nothing su
perior as food for working teams. Barley
to keep the system open and the akin soft.
So loug as our American fat mors grow,bar
ley with no use for it in view but malting,
so long will it be subject to extreme flue
tuatious in price, and the business a risky
and uneertaiu one for the grower. But
when tho value of it for feeding stock is
realized the market will bo steadier and the
piofitsof the crop more certaiu. M.iuy
farmers grow both barley and oats the one
to sell and the other to feed. It would be
wiser, if the soil is good for barley—as
most all soils arc —to grow a portion at
least for feeding purposes instead of oats.
Ground barley is au excellent food for fat
tening hogs. We know from actual ex
perience to at horses will perform as much
labor when fed ou barley as they do when
ted ou oats. During the Mexican war all
the grain that horses and mules had from
the time the army lelt Jalapa for the inte
lior was barley aud corn, but mostly bar
ley. Cavalry uorses as well as those used
for teaming purposes, could not bo iu bet
ter condition ibau they were.

SHELTER FOR FARMS.— The importance
of shelter has been lou* and well under
stood by gardeners. Wall protection ha
been in use from time immemorial. Kverv
skillful horticulturist is aware that tender
plants will surv ve severe winters when
surrounded or overshadowed by evergreens
trees, aud the same result has been ob
served on plants growing in the big woods.
The shelter of high picket fences, in paral
lel rows, enabled Frederick Tud r, of Na
hant, >o transform a bleak surface, where
the ocean-ten pest auil spray prevented the
growth cf a single natural shrub or tree
into one of the most luxuriant gardens of
the couutry. But the importance of shelter
on farms, and more especially for the pro
tection of crops, over which the suiting
winds of winter sweep freely, is injuri
ously affected m many ways. The snow,
which should form a protecting mantle, is
swept off intodiitU, aud the bare earth
subjected to the full action of the hardest
frosts. Young p'auts of grass aud tender
grain ai.d growing crops are beaten about
aud often actually torn out by the action of
the strong wiml upon them, even iu the
spring and summer seasons. This every
observing farmer must have seen. Sweep
ing tempests beat down grain fields, level
the heavy grass of meadows and break and
iDjure fields of corn more or less every
season on our pra.ries.
To avoid these evils we must resort to
tree-planting. Eveiy farmer should have
a wood-belt at least four rods wide on the
north ami west Hue ot his burn. This
should be kept fenced on both sides, so as
to allow the young trees ample protection
from the ravages of stock. .Belts of fast
growing trees niav be planted, aud will
afford good protection after a lapse of a
comparatively few years, and then a part
of the timber will prove eminently valu
able for fuel and fencing.

HESS LOSING FEATHERS.— It is no indi
cation of disease that hens should be losimr
their feathers. Some fowls begin their
annual molt very early, and this is to be
desired rather than complained of, as the
recovery is more rapid in warm weather.
It is advisable to give a little cooling medi
cine to molting fowls. A drani of salt
neter may be dissolved in a pint of water
and given for a drink each day fcr a dozen
fowls. Corn should not be given freely,
but barley or w heat substituted in part.
Some chopped vegetables would also be
useful, ana a run on a grass field. Fresh,
clean water is especially necessary while
the fowls are in their present weakened
condition.

TREATMENT OF WIN-DO ALLS.— IF the wind
galls are present and are not old ones they
may be treated by applying a strong so
lution of alum by means of a f olded piece
of cloth dipped in it and bound upon the

If the puffs are n.ade sore by pressure the
pads should be removed for a time.

Dear Sirs: Enclosed you will find one dollar,
for which please send uia a Wox of Anakesis .
Direct it to Muiford Rich, Jr., Wellfloet, Barn
stable Co.. Mass. My wife ha* suffered terribly
with piles for ten years, and had tried all kinds
of remedies that she could hear of without
much relief. Last summer I happened to hear
of Anakesis when I was in Boston an 4 so I
procured a box aud she experienced immediate
relief. She says she can exclaim with the ceie-
I rated professor: Thank God for Anakesis !
She cave part of the contents of the iox to a
friend of hers in Proviucetown. and they
helped her so that she sent the next day aud
bought some. The most of the inhabitants of
this place aud vicinity are sea-fariug people,
and by being exposed to wet aud cold, a
hard pulling at ropes, uine out of ten are trou
bled with piles, and have tried so many reme
dies without relief that they are discouraged
and have no faith in anything, but I know that
they are a good article. Now I will teil you
my'plau; I am a peddler aud travel iu Barn
stable county, au.l times aro so hard that
money is vtrv scarce, but if lean afford it this
summer I want to buy about a dozen boxes on
purpose to give away to the uubeltevers, and I
think that by so doing, and being acquainted
with so many people, that I could get up quite
& trade iu Anakesis if you would give me the
sole right of this county.
Yours trulv,
MULFORD RICH, JR.
