31 id il r Duel Between Aeronauts. .
f Dnring the Franco-Prussian war a
blood-curdling duel occurred iu mid
air between two aeronauts, one of
whom was conveying dispatches from
the Governor of Paris. The balloons,
approaching at a considerable altitude,
the encounter was commenced with
pistols. For some time neither com
batant could secure the advantage,
-but at length ono balloon mounted
above the other, and its occupant,
seizing his momentary advantage,
threw his grappling irons on top of
the other balloon. They tore through
the silken fabric as though it had been

An enormousquantity of corn fodder
is grown each year, but not one-third
of its feiding value is procured.
Hundreds of thousands of acres of
stalks are allowed to stand in tho
fields until December or January until
the grain is husked, and then tho
eattlo are turned in the field to get
what they can. Usually they find
only blades whipped off by the wind
and blown away, and the Btalks bent
aud tho upper part the best portion
ruined, and even the husks weather-
beaten so as to be of little value.
Such feed as remains is of poor qnality.
Tho greater part of it is rotting on
the ground. There is hardly a better
or cheaper stock feed than corn fodder,
yet most farmers treat it as though it
had littleorno value.- Fariuer'sGuide.
NOTKS OS WHEAT.
From field experiments carried on
at the Agricultural Experiment Sta
tion, Purdue Universitv, Indiana, re
ported iu Bulletin 15, extending over
ten years, it appears that uoue of the
varieties of wheat tried have anv ten
dency to deteriorate or "run out," pro
vided proper care is exercised. No
wheat proved to bo "rust-proof," but
early wheats were generally less in
jured by rust than later kinds. Eight
pecks of seed per acre gave tho best
returns at the station, the average
yield for nine years being dO.Jo bushels
per acre. The best results came from
sowings made not later than Septem
ber 'M. Iho valuo of crop rotation in
maintaining yields of grain has been
strongly emphasized, for a compari
son of rotating crops with constant
grain cropping for seven years showed
an average gain of 5. 7 bushels per
acre in favor of the former. Another
important result obtained was that
wheat may be harvested at any time
from the dough stage to the dead-ripe
condition, without appreciably affect
ing the weight or yield of the graiu.
A comparison of the forms of nitrogen
as fertilizers for wheat indicated that
sulphate of ammonia is better than
nitrate of soda or dried blood.
SOME ADVICE TO DRIVERS.
A driver frnvn loa linren Biriimrl, nf
. O . . u..iiita v. .
oats about two hours earlier than h
was usually fed. The harness was
being put on wliile the horse was feed
ing. The driver manas-ed to iret bio
breakfast in tho meantime. (Shortly
everything was in readiness and tho
horse was started on a Inn it Hrivn Tho
driver urged the animal with the whip.
At the end of thirty miles the horse
began to ignore that instrument He
went Blower and slower ; finally he fell
dead. Fost-mortem ptrtii in at. inn
revealed the fact that the oats had not
been digested. The lining of the
siomacn gave evidence ot having been
in a high state of irritation. It was
plain that the horse's previous ac
cumulation of nerve power had been
largely exhausted in defending the
terrible irritation set up by the sharp
points of tho undigested oats. Had the
horso been permitted to stand, or lie
down for aa hour after feeding he
would have prepared not only a re
serve of material to sustain himself,
but the sinount of nourishing material
accumulated would have helped him to
endure his exhaustive journey. Time
is required for the digestion of food
before beginning a long muscular
strain. It must also seem clear that
when the effort at hard labor ends,
time should be given for rest before
taking food. Rider and Driver.
REQUISITES FOR A HORSE STABLE.
A horse stable should have thorough
drainage first, then a solid, non-absorbent
floor ; next, the stalls should
be roomy, and tho feeding troughs
should be made so that food cannot be
wasted. Tho best floor is ouo made of
cement concrete, of one part of cement,
two of sand, and five of coarse gravel,
laid three inches thick, and when well
dried and hard, saturated with hot gas
tar. This makes tho floor water and
vermin proof, aud very durable, with
sufficient elasticity to prevent injury
to the feet of the animals. The stalls
should be six feet wide, the floor slop
ing one inch to a shallow gutter in the
rear, from which the liquid mass may
flow away into a drain. The feeding
trough should have a deep grain box,
if grain is fed, or if cut feed is used,
the whole trough may be the full
length of the width of the stall. A few
bars fastened across the top of the
feed box will be useful to prevent the
horse from throwing out tho feed, as
some will do. If long hoy is fed, this
should bo given iu a rack above the
feed trough, but on account of the
great waste in feeding long hay and
whole grain, tha hay should be cut
aud the grain, finely ground, be mixed
with it. This avoids the loss by waste,
which is often one-half of the food.
It is desirable to have a drain from
the stable to a manure pit at a dis
tance, where tho liquid may be ab
sorbed by the coarse litter. The
width of a horso stublo should bo not
less than twelve feet, to afford space to
move about in easily. The loose
boxes, made nine feet square, are the
most desirable for safety and con
venience, and theso may open into a
passage five feet wide. A feeding pas
sage should be made in front of the
btulls.
FAltM FENCES.
The growing scarcity of timber in
some parts of the country, i-.n 1 its en
tiro abseuoe iu others, m u.; th-j fence
question, a more serious on t year by
year. Only in tho newly settled
heavy-timbered land do we now see
rails split for fences. Wire in norno
form is almost universally used for
this purpose. Tho woven wire fenc
ing which is made in various widths
answers every purpose of a fence, but
it is too expensive for general use.
Wire and picket fencing does very
well, but it is liable to bo broken by
unruly animals, and once a rent is
started it is soon of little uso to tnrn
stock. Barbed wire, which composed
the original wire fences of the West,
is cruel, and many a horse has been
mined by being caught on the sharp,
knife-like points.
There is a way of making a wire
fence, however, that is free from the
objections that havo been brought
agaiust tho others. Plain, smooth
galvanized wire, No. 10 or No. 12, may
bo stretched tightly, and fastened to
wooden posts, with a single six-inch
board at the top. Instead of the board
a common "t wo by four" spiked to the
posts may bo used. From five to seven
wires are needed, according to what it
is desired to fence against. The lat
ter number put four inches apart near
the ground, and farther apart toward
tho top of the poBt will koep hogs,
cattle, Bheep or horses within the in
closure. The railing or board at the
top is often used on barbed wire fonces,
as the animals can see it more plainly
than they can the wire alone, and
there is less danger of their running
against it Wire fences of any kind
should be thoroughly braoed and very
tightly stretched, or they will noon
sag and get out of shape. New lork

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.
Strain the milk before the cream be
gins to rise.
Medium sized hogs now bring the
largest prices.
The milk is largely affected by the
physical condition of tho cow.
It requires about twenty-five pounds
of milk to make a pound of butter.
There is a scarcity of beet sugar
seed in Europe owing to the drought.
The number of sheep killed by dogs
every year is said to exceed 700,000.
To make dairying a success, a dairy
man must be a worker and a business
man.
Experienced butler makers say that
too much washing spoils the flavor ot
butter.
The great food crops of the world
are wheat, corn, oats, rye, rice and
potatoes.
There is a good market for trotters
now, but only at prices consistent with
the facts in the cose.
Colts in training, if well cared for,
grow better and keep in better health
than when running at large.
It is established that a horse whose
individuality is strong enough to
create a family type will also fix the
color with great nuiformity.
First-class fancy animals, suitablo
for driving and carriage horses, sound
and well broken, are reported as
scarce and bring good prices.
Prices running well into the thou
sands are no longer given for road
horses unless the speed and other quali
ties are of an exceptional character.
Many trotting horses, owing either
to natural defects of temperament, to
bad training or to imperfect prepara
tion, are exceedidgly difficult to con
trol. The winter is the time to build the
intended silo, as it can be done with
less interference in other work. Havo
the silo ready and complete for a crop
of corn next season. A silo soon pays
for itself.
Sloppy food is not advisable as a
continued diet for pigs. Give a change
occasionally. The hogs are very par
tial to whole oorn, fed dry, and will
eat it from the trough, either shelled
or on the sob.
Currant and gooseberry cuttings
should be about five or six inches long,
and planted two-thirds their length iu
open ground. They will root more
quickly if cut a week or two before
using and packed in damp moss. It
is well to keep them partially shaded.
The Sharpless strawberry has been
tested over a large part of the coun
try and does well in almost every lo
cality, but in Bpite of its excellent
record it sometimes fails. The Jessie
is a fine berry when it succeeds, but it
should be tested well before planting
extensively.
Turnips are easily kept by pitting,
if not put in too thick. Make the pits
long and about three and a half feet
high. Cover with straw and about
six inches of earth. Ventilators should
be placed about every ten feet. The
pit is best made in a shelterod place,
where the snow will not be blown off.

An authority on such matters reoom
mends a thin quality of linoleum to bo
used as a dado for the walls in a
kitchen. It should bo glued close to
tho wall, and may bo finished at tho
top with a plain molding. It may thou
bo oilod or varnished, or loft in its na
tural condition, as one chooses. It is
in every way to be preferred to a dodo
of wood, which is liablo to crack and
leave interstics in which insects may
lodgo. The dado of linoleum is as
easily washed as a dado of tiling and
is even more durable, whilo it is a good
deal cheaper.
In the natural wood color in which
this material comes it would make a
very pretty dado for a wall painted
pale blue. As linoleum ia nothing
more tnan the blown pulp of wood,
combined with oxidized linseed oil, it
can bo readily scon that it can be
treated in any way that wood can be
treated, while it is exactly suited to
this purpose and the purpose of cov

a necessity in a kitchen, because a

If drinking men could only see the effect
that whisky has on the stomach, tney would
never drink another drop.
Poverty never drives a man to drink unless
he wants to go ; but drink drives a man to
poverty whether he wauts to go or not.
Most drunkards oommenoe on beer and
wine and finally drink the stronger bever
ages. A beer drunk is the worst kind of a

Ferns 100 Feet Jllfh.
Ferns ever have and ever will come
in for a full share of homar;n from the
worshipers at nature's shrine. Their
delicate and graceful outlines, together
with the almost certainty that some
members of the family may be found
in their prime, whether sought in May
or December, if not buried in tho
snow, assures for them a prominent
place near the head of the listof desir
able floral decorations.
They are found in all climes and
vary almost as much as do their sur
roundings. They revel in a warm,
moist and equable climate, and are
now found in tho highest state of lux
nrianno in the tropical islands of the
Pacific and on tho low banks of the
Amazon, where they rival palms in
shape and often attain to tho height of
100 feet. More than 3000 species are
now known, of which the Philippine
Islands nlono furnish 800, Java and
southeastern Africa 400.
Collectors on tho United States
steamer Albatross brought thirteen
species from the sterile shores of
southeastern Patagonia. These have
been named by Professor D. C. Eaton,
of Yale College, and include represen
tatives of seven genera, ono of which,
aspidium aculeattim, is a native of tho
North Atlantic States. Four of the
eight suborders of living species, rep
resented by twenty-two genera aud
upward of sixty species and varieties,
are indigenous to our Northern Stales.

Itunnway Colt in Strange Company.
Three years ago, as related by an
exchange, a colt strayed from the
place of John Hunter, on tho Upper
St. John, below the Seven Salmon.
New P.rtuiKwiek. Several days were
spent in a fruitless search for the colt,
and he was given np as a probable
prey to the bears. Last summer two
moose hunters, whilo at Hound Lake,
on the Allegash, Jliiine, CRine upon t It
strayed annua!, accompanied by two
bull moose. They captured it, built
a raft and rafted it to its owner. It
had become wild, and no doubt fra
ternized w ith tho moose from the first
living with them in their yards iu the
severo Aroostook winter. When found
it was Block, well developed and in
good condition, and had grown a coat
of hair of unusual thickness. Lewis-

A Mean Out ol ilie Dlftlcultr,
Any strain or bending of the back for any
length oltlme leaves it in a weakened con
dltlon. A means out of tho difficulty is nl
ways handy and cheap. Do as was done by
Mr. Herman Hchwnygel, Aberdeen, H. P.,
who says that for several years he suffered
with a chronic stitch in tho back, and was
given up by doctors. Two bottles of Bt.
Jacobs oil completely cured him. Also Mr.
John Lucas, Elnorn, Iud., says that for sev
eral years he suffered with pain. to theliack,
and one bottle of St. Jacob. Oil cured him.
There are manifold Instances of how lo do
tho right thing in the right way aud not
break your back.

(Jorman Army Dnps.
Tha German army has trained war
dogs. On the march each dog Is led
by his master and Is required to carry
a heavy pack on hia back. Doga of a
dark color are preferred, because they
aro less visible to tho enemy. The
training is pursued on tho general
principle that the dog would be treated
very cruelly by an enemy, so that the
creature is taught to creep round tho
foe unnoticed and to give a distinet
warning of a host ile approach without
bringing itself into notice. For in
stance, in the German training pro
cess, some of the soldiers put on French
and Kussian uniforms to represent the
enemy. This arrangement, by the
hji suggests the idea that the Germans
have quito made tip their mind whom
they are going to right when the great
war ttoes come. (,'hicago Inter-Occan.
Mr. Stanley states that between
1777 and 1H07 3,000,000 African slaves
were sold in the West Indies alone.
