TS'cver send a fowl to market unless it
is in as fat condition as possible. If a
fowl will tnke on an extra pound ot
flesh, it will pay to feed it woll until it
reaches that stngro. Tho reason is thst
there is not only a pain in weight, but
price. If a six-pound fowl, not in a
choice condition, will bring ten cents
per pound in tho market, the extra
pound niny cause tho fowl to sell for
twelve cents per pound, being a gain of
thirty-four cents for tho whole, duo to
both increase of weight and better qual
ity, whilo the foed required for pro
ducing the extra pound may not cost six
cents. Quality is a prime factor in the

Notwithstanding the use of the scythe
has been so greitly superseded by ma
chines and horse power, writes an Indi
ana farmer, I bclievo securing tho hay
crop is tho hardest aud most fatiguing
work that is done ou t'.io farm. Of
course, the warmer the day the faster the
hay will cure, but this only makes tho
work tho harder. Tho liability to thun
der showers at this season is a source of
continual anxiety when one has a large
amount of grass down and half cured iu
which condition a wetting means a lnrgo
decrease in its value. On days when
fchowery conditions prevail no more
uhould be cut at a time than can be put
into cock aud covered with hay caps if
not suflicicntly cured to go into tho
barn. Often the grass has become so
ripe it will uot do to defer cutting until
there comes a spell of settled weather.
In such cases it is usually best to start
the mower immediately after the show
er, and put into cock before auolher
comes up, or late toward evening, when
rain in the night will injuro it but little
if well spread out and attended to the
next fomoon. Of course this all meaus
hard work, but then making hay be
tween showers always means hard work.
Water is always drunk in large quanti
ties by harvesters, and I have found that
by stirring a handlul or two of oat flakes
into a pailful it not only makes it ex
ceedingly palatable, but I believe there
is less daugcr from drinking all you
want. Aeie York World.
STACKING SUEAVES.
I have stacked much grain in my day,
eays Galen Wilson, and nono of it be
camo wet in the stack. Begin by setting
two bundles on end, leaning together at
an angle of about twenty degrees, then
continue around and around until the
stack-bottom is large enough. Tho
centre sheaves should be dressed iu as
closely together as possible. As tho
circle enlarges each succeeding course
should be given a little more slant, so
that when the last course is laid it will
have but a slight slant. The stack-bottom
is then highest in the middle. This
rule is followed until the stack is finished.
As the laying proceeds from the centre
the sheaves should be laid less closely in
a diminishing degree, so that the stack
will settle leust in the centre. After tho
fii st course the stacker should be ou his
Knees and press down every sheaf.
When the foundation is about six feet
high the outside tiers of sheaves must
be laid to project a little over the one
immediately beneath, to give the stack
the proper bulge, that the water may be
conveyed away from the base. The
outer courses when beiug "laid out,"
must be secured or Botne may slide when
considerable weight presses upon them.
Grasp each sheaf with both hands,
raise the heads-end almost perpendicular
and "chuck" the butt end into the butt
of the one bectuth, thea lower aud push
out topluce -, the ends of some of tho
straws, catching into the sheaf beneath,
hold it from sliding out. I continuo
this practice when "drawing in" to "top
out." A good man is needed to pitch
from the wagon to the one on tho stack
who pitches to the stacker. The sheaves
should be thrown within reach of the
latter, who has to move around as the
stacker does. The wagon should uot be
unloaded from the same sido of the stack
twice in succession. The pitching-oll
should bo doue all around, to prevent
packing down the sheaves mare in onu
place than another. The stack pitcher
should not stand iu onu place longer tliau
two minutes, but keep moving iu diller
eut circles about the centre. Uis place
is never nearer tlmu mx or eight feet to
the ed(.e of tho stack. Keep thu centra
full, keep it pressed solid aud even, and
then the stack will settle squarely.
Stacked thus, sheaves will turn water as
readily us u duck's back. For a stack of
tweuty-five feet diameter the centre
should be kept four feet higher tlmu the
outer edge. JVcui York Tribune.
FACTS AND "KA.NCIES" IN SILACE.
"Has aujthiug new beta found out
about silns the put wiuter!" asks a reader
of Ike American A'ritulturist. .Not ex.
actiy, but many previously ad.'uueed
ideas have lieeu continued and thu "faith
of the saints strengthened. " tipeakiag
for myself, I think that some things
liave biita usJv pUtiu, aud iu tut) luluiu
we shall agree upon a few fundamental
points. That the stone silo excopt
under limited circumstances ho had its
day, and has ceased to be written about
in silo literature. Tho lathod and
plastered silo is now seldom mentioned.
Its great advocate, Frofessor Cook, of
Michigan, now is on rocord for the
woodon-llned silo, made durablo with a
coat of gas tar and gasoline.
Tho contest is now between a silo
with a lining of two thicknosses of cheap,
sound lumber, single surfaced, not oven
matched, put on with a half lap, with
tarred paper between to make the walls
doubly air tight, and tho silo with a
lining of a single board, good flooring
matched, and not painted, the idea
being that tho lumber dries out during
tho summer, and when the silo is tilled
tho swelling forces the joints and scams
in the matching all close shut, and tho
silo lasts for years. Tho problem is just
this: 'Will a silo mido of one thickness
of high-priced flooring bo better than a
doublo lining of cheap lumber, but
sound! Will tho single ceiling continuo
to swell on demand, aud always make a
closo airtight matching?
It appears that a ten or twelve inch
timber, well seasoned aud thoroughly
painted with gas tar, especially at tho
ends, and sunk in a trench, and bedded
in with lime cement, is, when no "build
ing up" is necessary, nnd whire there is
good natural drainage, quite as good a
foundation as one needs for a silo. Tho
trench is just largo enough to tako In
tho sills, av1 Hc ce:n:nt Clls in between
t''S .-ills .and tho soil. Tho studding
should not ha mortised in, but toenailed
with lGd-or20d-wiro nails. If fears ore
entertained of surface water, a two-inch
tile sunk in the outside corner of tho
trench before putting lu tho sills will
remedy this. That a grouted floor, or
cement is neccsssry Is doubtful. Wcll-
pounded-down' clay makes an admirable
floor. The only objection is that rats
coino up from underneath sometimes.
The remedy for this is a good ferret for
an hour. If a coat of gas tar and sand
is first used under the clay floor rats will
uot mine the silage.
Fast lilling is now, when help can be
obtained, generally recommended. Corn
thinly planted and cultivated very shnl
low to iuduco caring, and allowed to
stand until "out of the milk," beforo
cutting, nnd then filled iu without wilt
ing, seems thu material out of which
sweet silago is made. Filling with wholo
fodder, now that some of tho conditions
of that process nre understood, has many
friends. Tho smaller kinds of corn must
be used, nnd the silo filled as tho corn
logins to glaze. The corn fodder should
be laid all one way, tops nud buts. Tho
tops along tho walls should bo broken
over, and in the corners green hay
should be occasionally put to keep theia
full and air proof.
How to cover a silo is a matter upon
which few silo men agree. The success
ful cover of la-it year is no better this
year than no cover. As a rule, cover as
we may, some of the surface silage will
spoil. Tho silago loft without a cover
rarely has more spoiled silago than tho
ono that has been protected with a tight'
fitting cover. Two of my silos the past
winter, covered nliko and the same day,
gave different results. In one there was
about thirty bushels of loss, in the other
seventy-five bushels, whilo a neighbor
who covered his silo with six inches ot
green hiy lost no silage but did lose tho
hay. Seventy-live bushels ol silago
would have a value of seventy-five couts,
the half ton of hay was worth $3. For
the little loss of silago how much com
pensation do we receive for tho outlay of
material and lnbor? AVhat material has
proved best for silage is answered: Cora

Tarred paper makes a good lining for

If tho floor of tho poultry house is

Three kinds of food are essential to
poultry, grain, grcea food and animal
food of somo kind.
Ground bone makes excellent grit, as
it is hard aud sharp and just the article
for growing chickens.
Young poultry, if they are kopt grow
ing, need more feed in proportion to
their size than those that are matured.
Stir tho soil about young trees. It
should not bake nor should weeds and
gross grow iu it. Don't work it too
deeply.
It is natural for a good cow to consume
a great deal of food. So high feeding
within judicious limits does not hurt the
cow if the food is of tho right sort.
There never was a hand clean enough
yet to be used in working butter. The
hand does uot improve the butter eveu
if it is mother's, wife's or sister's hand.
Sinco the introduction of tho English

A hen should produce a profit of at

Strawberry plants which have over
fruited heavily should not be used for
propagation, cither for home beds or for

and speedy degeneracy will result.
A new use for the strawberry is in
makiug sod on terraces and declivities
likely to wash. Set one foot apart each
way they soou mat the grouud, furnish
onu crop of fruit, and are easily run out
by grass seed sown amoug them.
When good rams can be had for a

for breeding from a poor ram. The man

never make much of a mark as a breeder.
Do not be afraid to plant more peas

THE 8n ALLOT IS CAt'CK?.
Shallot is a small plant of the onion
family, which it is not at all difficult to
grow. They aro very useful in season
ing sauces and salads, possessing a pe
culiarly tino flavor. They nro so much
prized by French cooks that they inva
rialily aro found in tho French garden
of herbs. Shallot sets can be procured
from our seedsmen at about twenty-flvo
cents a quart. This is not one of tho
oldest vegetables in Continental gar
dens. Its namo of esculot, now short
ened to shallot, indicates its origin. It
was first brought to Europe from Asca
lon, iu tho Holy Land, by the Crusaders.
That delicious sauce, sauce tartaro, owes
its chief excellence to the shallot. For
this sauce, beat the yolks of two raw
eggs, just enough to break them, and
add gradually drop by drop a gill of
s wee-olive oil. By this time tho sauco
should bo as thick as creamed butter.
Then add more rapidly another gill of
oil, then throo tablespoons of strong tar
ragon vinegar, if you havo It, or good
vinegar of any kind, nnd continuo beat
ing. Add a level salt-spoon of pepper,
a level teaspoon of salt, and tho same
amount of sugar nnd of mustard. Beat
tho sauco thoroughly, nud add, last of
nil, a tea-spoon of minced shallots aud
one of capers, and one of chopped cu
cumber pickles. This is a delicious
sauce to serve with fried halibut or oth
er fried fish, broiled chicken or auy
kind of cold meat. "Dead aro tho Cru

"THIS ORKAT OKSTROTKR."
When Gladstone declared before the House
ftf Commons that drink bad inflicted on the
World greater evils than war, pestilence ami
famine combined, was he indulging in a mere
rhetorical exaggeration? When the 8uoreiue
Courtoi the United States solemnly declared
in its official decision in the case of Califor
nia vs. Christiansen (11 that a greater
amount of crime and misery is shown by the
statistics ef every State to be attributable
to drink "than to any other nource," was it,
for the moment, indulging in a thoughtless
statement for tho purpose of pleasing the
"temperance people?" Well,- perhaps so.
Gladstone may have been out of his head
and the Supreme Court may have been hyp
notized. Let us make a little excursion into
mathematics to see. In 1H88 the British
Medical Jmtrnal published the result of an
Inquiry made bv the British Medicsl Asso
ciation (the principal association of the kind
in England, or, perhaps in the world). The
inquiry was conducted during a period of
nineteen months (May 9, 1855, to December
11, lSStl), and related to the effect of drink
on mortality. Each of the doctors contrib
uting to the inquiry (178 in all, in different
soctions of Great iAritain) took his death cer
tificate book and from the counterfoils of
three years gave, in the case of each death o;
a male over twenty-five years of a;re the im
mediate cause of death, the age at death,
and the drink-habits of the mail who died.
From the data supplied by this inquiry baa
been carefully reckoned (see "Prohibition,
the Principle, the Policy, the Party,"
by W heeler Appendix, Note C. the
number (taO.OOO) of intemperate per
sons dying every year in Eng
land and Wales, from all causes, and.
what is more Important, the number or these
who are killed by drink. This latter num
ber is a little over 30,00D. It does not in
clude those (infants aud others) dying as n
result of crime or negligence on the psrt o!
drinkers, or as a result of inherited defects;
but simply those who kill themselves with
alcohol. The number is about the same for
the United States, estimating on the basis of
the ratio ot absolute alcohol consumed in the
two countries. Thirty thousand killed each
year iu the United States, 30,000 more in
England. Lot us go further. In tho report
of the Swiss Federal Council, in 1885, after a
special and exhaustive investigation, it ap
pears tnat tue amount ol aieouoi cousuiueu
in the countries of Canada, Norway and
Sweden, United States, Great Britain aud Ire
land, Austro-Hungary, Frauce, Russia, German-
Zollverein, Belgium, Switzerland, the
Motherlands anil Denmark, is tS7S.74.HSa gal
lons oraboutsix times as much as in England
and the United States alone. The name
amount ot absolute alcohol can be safely
reckoned as causing an equal amount of
mortality, on au average, in all these coun
tries. Six times 60,000 equals 300,000 the
number of deaths each year caused in these
countries by drink. Three hundred and six
ty thousand a year! In an average genera
tion ot thirty-three years the number Is
nearly twelve millions (11,880,000). in the
lifetime of a man of seventy years, the ag
gregate death roll will reach the amazing
figure of over twenty-five millions 125,200
000). Kemeuiber, in looking at these stu
pendous figures, that they represent, not the
number of drinkers who have died, but the
number who were killed by drink. Remem
ber, the estimate is based on reliable data
furnished by one of the best scientific asso
ciations on the face of the earth. Ke
meinlier that in these figures is not
included the large, but indeterminate
number of thoso dying as the re
sult of inherited defects due to drink, or the
result of crime and negligeuco on the part of
drunkou men and women. Remember that
theestimate above is lower by one-half than
the usual estimates given of all persons slain
by drink. And remember that the above
countries do not comprise by any means, all
those in which the devastation of drink is
spread. Among those not included are Aus
tralia, South America, Spain, Italy, Portu
gal, and Oriental countries. How ola are
you? Tho young man of twenty can truth
fully say that in his lifetime dru has slain,
in tue countries named, over sevon millions.
The man of thirty can say that it bus slain
over eleven millions. The man of forty can
say over fourteen and ono-hulf millions;
the man of fifty, over eigh
teen millions; the man of sixty,
over twenty-one and one-half millions; the
man of seventy, over twenty-flve millions.
These are figures for which reliable data are
in band. If wa could obtain reliable data
for an estimate of the millions not included
in the above reckoning, we should stand, if
possible, still more agast before the known
ravages of this gigantic destroyer. But
even thea the story would not be half told.
For every man who goes to bis grave through
drink, bow many are there whose lives are
shadowed by the disgrace and sorrow? "No
man livetb to himself and no man dieth to
himself." These are the millions who are
slain; how many are the millions who

Colds Catching.
"Don't come near mo, I liavo a cold'
If cold, are not "catching," ns folk sny,
how has this como to be a form of ex
pression familiar iu so many households?
l)r. Uichnrdson propounds this problem,
but he fraukly confesses that ho is iinnblo
to solve the question. Sometimes he has
been inclined to think that colds in
house spread by a kind of sympathy.
Agaiust this, however, ns against ordin
ary contagion, thero is the argument
that all allected may bo at tho timo un
der one and the sumo influcuce. So it
stands now in respect to influenza. One
day Dr. Kicliardson is called to a house
to find several persons suffering with this
disease, aud the history supplied is that
one of sufferers having contracted tho
affection many miles away, where it was
prevailing, brought it home with him.
lie then goes to another house to find a
large establishment with every member
of it frco from the affection except one,
who has never beca exposed, who has
never even left the house, and who nlono
is suffering severely. Unfortunntly, this
expert in pathology is driven to conclude
with the questions: "Where lies the
truth? What is coincidence, and what
is cause in relation to tho phenomenon?''

Odd Classifications.
A lady entered a railway station in
England with a turtle, and the railway
porter went to headipiartcrs to ascertain
how much fare he must collect for the
turtle. Ou returning he announced to
tho lady tho company's classification of
animals for charges: "Cats is dogs and
rabbits is dogs, but this ero tortus is a
hiuscst, and we make no charge for
hinsccts." The lady was no doubt quite
satisfied to have her pet declared a bin
sect seeing that "hinsccts" wore not
subject to any chargo for passage. This
amusing railroad classification is recalled
by on item of news in our Week's Index
couccrning two French aeronauts who
wore detained at tho Bargo Office in this
city until tho immigrant inspector could
decide whether ballooning was an art or
a trade. Alter consulting his authori
ties the Inspector decided that the aero
nauts were professors, and could not
therefore be barred out under the con
tract labor law. The inspector's decis
ion is about as nenr the tr utn as was
that of the railway man. Xeui York
