John Chinaman's Joke.
All around Chao-tung lies abundance
of silver, copper, coal and iron. But
the Chinese have very primitive ways
of getting the minerals. They admit
foreigners are the best at that kind of
thing, because they have the power of
seeing underground.
Some years ago two Japanese came
to the city exploring for silver. The
authorities wanted to test their
powers. They buried some silver
ingots on the parade ground. Then
they took the Japanese a walk that
way.
"Is there any silver about here?"
they asked.
"No," said the Japanese, "this is
not the kind of soil in which silver is
found."
Then the buried metal was pro
duced from under their very feet,
amid the loud hilarity of all Celestial
officialdom. Since which time the
Chao-tungese have had a prodigious
contempt for foreigners. Travel.

"Heeling In" Trees.
Trees are often received from the
nurseries before the land where they
are to be planted can be properly fit
ted. In all ruch cases the trees should
be temporarily planted by the way
technically known among nurserymen
as "heeling in." This consists in dig
ging a sloping trench, deep enough
at its lower end to allow the roots to
be entirely covered iu the trench itself,
and long enough so that a consider
able part of the tops can also be light
ly covered with soil. In this position
the tree will be saved from all expo
sure to the air, and even in a warm
fall there will be no danger of the
buds beginning to swell and grow. It
is so much better than digging a hole
and planting a tree in the fall that the
most successful fruit growers, though
they are careful to buy trees in the
fall, generally heel them in when re
ceived, and do not transplant to the
open ground until spring. In this way
the roots will start soon enough to
keep the buds aud new shoots well
supplied with sap.
iiut to be successful as much care
should be taken to sift soil among the
roots and pack it down thoroughly as
if the tree was to be planted. (ot
only this, but soil must be ridged over
where the trees he, and especially
over the roots, so that frost will not
get down to the roots in winter, and
they shall not be deluged with water
when spring rains begiu. There will
be more or less settling of soil iu the
trench during the winter. If thero is
only a slight ridge, it may before
spring be converted into a hollow, and
the water will run in the bottom of the
trench to the lower end among the
roots. So long as the weather is cold
this may not be an injury, but if the
winter is mild many of the roots will
become mouldy aud rotten. If the
soil about the roots can be kept
merely moist it will be better than to
have them immersed for weeks and
months in water.
A common cause of failure of
heeled-in tree is attacks of mice.
which find in the covered bark of
trunks and roots an easily secured
winter ratiou, protected from most of
their enemies. But if paris green is
scattered among the tree roots the
mice will usually eat this, and all of
them will be dead in the trenches
when the trees are taken up in spring,
while the trees themselves will be un
injured. It is well to take up the
heeled-in trees as early as the ground
can be got in good condition to plant
them, for by this time some air spaces
will probably be made by sinking
away of earth from the roots, and a
new planting will bo needed to keep
the roots from drying out. American

Cooking and Steaming Food.
There has been considerable mis
conception as to the value of cooking
food for slock. In Europe, experi
ments have indicated that steaming
or cooking coarse foods was advan
tageous, not because of its making the
food more nutritious, but in inducing
the animals to eat larger quantities.
It has been shown, in fact, that lupine
hay and certain other foods were
rendered less digestible by steaming.
The cooking of potatoes, formerly
thought to be advantageous, is not
profitable when feeding them to milch
cows, although there are some advan
tages when they are fed to pigs.
The Department of Agriculture has
been collecting experiment station
information on this subject. The New
York station analyzed cooked and un
cooked clover hay and corn meal and
then determined the digestibility of
the same. The result showed that the
percentage of albuminoids and fat and
the relative digestibility of albu
minoids were more or less diminished
by cooking. Experiments at most of
the stations have usually been made
iu preparing food for pigs. At least
thirteen separate series of experiments
have reported on the value of cooking
or steaming food for the hogs. The
following grains were operated upon:
Barley meal, corn meal, shorts, whole
corn, whole corn and shorts, peas,
corn and oat meal, potatoes and a mix
ture of peas, barley and rye. These
cooked or steamed feeds were com
pared with the same uncooked and fed
usually dry. In ten of these there
was no gain whatever from cooking,
but in reality a positive loss. That is,
the amount of food required to pro
duce a pound of grain was larger when
the food was cooked than when it was
raw. In the three exceptional cases
there was either no gain at all or a
very slight gain from cooking, amount
ing to two per cent, in one case.
Some experiments in feeding
steamed cottonseed meal are reported
by the Mississippi station. After
three years' work the station con
cludes that the milk and butter from
cows fed on steamed cottonseed cost
less than that from cows fed on raw
cottonseed and but little more than
one-half as much as that from cows
fed on cottonseed meal. The butter
from Bteamed cottonseed is also
superior in quality to that produced
from raw. The Texas station found
that it is advantageous to boil cotton
seed meal for feediug steers. New

lien who handle horses should study
the mental as well as the physical con
stitution of the noble animals, says the
Massachusetts Ploughman.
The study is not a mere fad or whim
idea, for the horse is so constantly in
contact with humanity that he is sub
jected to many things that are contrary
to his nature. In domestication
the horse must depend for everything
npon those who own him or, at least,
who care for him in the stable and
drive him. Every attendant should
keep certain things in mind always.
Here are a few of these things:
You can get no more power from a
horse than yon give him iu his food.
Yelling and jerking the bit confuse
a horse and advertise a blockhead.
The horse is man's invaluable helper
and should be treated as a friend.
Any fool can ruin a team, but a wise
driver maintains its value.

Clover Fall on Clover Sod.
Almost all farmers know that it is
not sate to plow a clover sod, or, iu
fact, any other sod in the fall, and
then sow wheat with the expectation
of getting a clover catch from seed
sown next spring. There have been
various reasons assigned for this, the
old one bemg that the clover sod
while it is rotting in the soil "poisons"
the land for clover until the rotting is
completed. But it is quite as impos
sible to seed with clover on any newly
plowed sod, and that disposes of the
clover-poisoning theory. ' The true
explanation seems to be that when a
sod of any kind is decayiug under the
furrow it allows the soil above it to
fall down, thus destroying the slight
hold which the youug clover plant
has, and obliging it to regain its hold
before the leaf wilts aud kills the root.
Clover v ill come np well enough on a
clover or any other kind of sod, but
unless there are almost constant rains
during the spring little of it will live.
Even a timothy seeding dooa not do
well on a newly plowed sod, though
in young plants the proportion of leaf
to root is much less in the grass than
it is in any kind of clover.
What Mulch For Strawberries T
Wintering the strawberry field is
especially hazardous with us in Colo
rado, because of the generally dry,
open winter weather, with mostly
bright sunshiny days and freezing
nights. Mulching is a necessity, but
we have no salt meadow hay or marsh
grass. Wheat or oat straw is out of
the question on account of the seeds.
We pile up stable manure, giving it a
chance to heat, which pretty effectu
ally destroys the seeds and then
spread it on after the ground freezes
in December. Cow manure from the
dairies is also freqnently resortod to
after being piled and partly rotted and
dried. But spring generally reveals
to us many spots and streaks of winter-killed
plants, though the manure
has been spread lightly or heavily,
has been raked off early or late. Again
the question comes np, Does the man
ure contain substances injurious to
the plants? Is cow manure poisonous,
but horse manure safer? All we can
be sure of is that the plants are killed,
aid that there is nothing but man
ure to mulch with. Can you clear the
farmer's best friend, the manure pile,
of so serious a suspicion? A. H. R.,

Froper Storage For Fotatoe.
The ideal place for storing potatoes
is a cool celler, whore the temperature
can be kept around forty degrees Fah
renheit. This is often difficult to se
cure. Place in bins, which are at
least a foot from the cellar wall and
six inches off the floor to permit of
free circulation of air. It is abso
lutely necessary that the storage place
be perfectly dark. The easiest way to
get them from the field is to pick them
into bushel boxes or crates made of
some very light material. These are
easily handled and prevent unneces
sary bruising.
Where a cellar is not available, pit
ting in the open field answers nicely.
Select a dry spot that is well drained.
Excavate about six inches, put in the
potatoes as picked from the field,
heap up well and cover with about a
foot of straw or forest leaves. Throw
on about Bix inches of soil and allow
them to remain until freezing weather
begins, then add earth until the cover
ing is about three feet deep or suffi
cient to keep out all frost. Potatoes
stored in this manner usually keep
well but are more difficult to get at
when wanted for home use or for mar
ket. Flowing Frozen Ground.
If there is a thin crust of frozen
soil, or even a light fall of snow on
the ground when it is fall plowed, it
will be none the worse for the soil
next spring. The frozen soil holds
up the furrow better, even though
when turned to the bottom it is soon
thawed by the earth's internal heat.
The result will be that frost will pene
trate to the bottom of the furrow,
giving the soil a much finer tilth than
would be possible by repeatedly culti
vating it.
Suicides In Italy.
The statistics of suicide in Italy
during the year 1896 show an increase
of fifty per cent, over the ten preced
ing years. The total reaches 2000,
which gives a mortality of 6.41 pet
100,000 inhabitants. Of this total
th'ere were 1401 men and 596 women.
Of these 813 were married people, 884
single, 177 widowers and sixty-one
widows.
Tbe cause of the increase in suicides
in Italy may be attributed to the
greater difficulty of earning a liveli
hood anu the growing burden of taxa
tion. It is also claimed that the
spread of education is responsible to
a certain extent, ns it leads to so much
unsatisfied ambition.
The districts where snicido is the
most prevalent are precisely those
where education is the most devel
oped. The maximum is recorded in
the province of Borne, 11.43 per 100,
000 inhabitants; then come Emilia
and Liguria, with 10.11, and Lonv
bard, with 7.17 per 100,000.
On the other hand, in the provincel
where education is, if anything, neg
lected, the proportion attained is
scarcely two to three per 100,009.

African will not work forany other induce

mean practlcully the suspension of all
trade with tbe region. Up to a reoent

outside sources for his supply ot strong

of tno moonshine still, and readily converts

Whlky Did It.
The sale ot liquor to the Indians is re
sponsible for the massacre at Leech Lake,
It was the occasion of It, as the drunken
Indians first made trouble wbioh required
the intervention ot the law in arresting In
dians for selling liquor to Indians, and then
the cause of it, since the further debauoh
ery of the red men Bred the hearts to re
sistance and murder.
The prohibition of the sale of liquor to
Indians, aud by Indians in this iustauce, U
imposed by white men who at other times
themselves violate the law when they seek
to drive an oppressive bargain with soma
Indian whose crazing thirst tempts him to
any sacrifice or price it be can but secure
drink. Tbat prohibition is looked upon by
the Indian as a device to discriminate
against bim, particularly when be sees tbe
white man drinking blmsolt Into tbe gutter
without let or hindrance.
As clear and simple as tbe problem is to
others, the Indian cannot understand why
society permits white men to sell their fel
lows all the whisky they wish, but makes
tbe truffle unlawful and criminal on an In
dian reservation. The Indians Involved in
the reoent uprising say that they have seen
whisky sold without limit in Duluth aud
elsewhere, where wblte men drink it tn
public as openly as they eat food. They
do not condemn that sale and consumption,
but they do most earnestly demur when tbe
discrimination oompels tbe Indian to thirst.
They cannot see why the Indian is prohib
ited from selling tbe "firewater," or why
the traffla is treated as a crime on or near
to his reservation. The National Advocat.
A Suggestion to Dlinlniah Drnnkenne.
A correspondent sends the Youth's Tem
perance Banner the following letter, hoping
it may lead to the adoption of some plan
tbat will lessen the evil until It be entirely
suppressed:
To greatly lessen the evils of drunken
ness, without lessening the profits of liquor
dealers and manufacturers, and without
meeting their opposition.
Arrest men that are drunk, not for pun
ishment, but for the good alike of tbe com
munity, tbe liquor men and tbe men them
selves. Hold them till thoroughly sober, so tbat
they cannot drench and ruin themselves in
a protracted debauch, but give food suit
able to their state, for drink on an empty
stomach is seven times worse than on a
full one.
When a man staggers, or his tongue gets
thick, it is Inhumnn to allow him to go to
his family; be should beheld till thoroughly
sober, but word sent to the family, and pay
secured if possible for all costs, thus his
family and the community are protested,
the liquor men are saved tbe disgrace of
besotted drunkenness while the artnaers
physical and financial capacity to use and
buy liquor are greatly lessened, and not
even the drunken men themselves should
protest against so beneficial a method to
benefit them. Have them from a besotted
debauoh whenever they get into such con
dition as to be unable to direct their own
eonduct. Drinking men and saloon keep
ers say that a man should know when he
has enough.
Opinion of a Celebrated Doctor.
"To the temperate we need not preach
temperance," said a celebrated doctor: "It
would be out ot place, and certainly I do
not feel bound to advise them total ab

As for the Intemperate ot all degrees, I am
satisfied that the only safe advice tbat we
can give them U total abstinence, as to
advising temperance to them, or limitation
ot stimulants, I believe tbat we might as
well preach to tbe wind aye, the whirl
wind or advise common sense to the in
habitants of a lunatic asylum."

tors in correcting evil. On time and or

Dr. Wendell C. Thillips, one of the

"Colds, and How to Prevent Them."
It was a rainy night, and he began:
"How many persons here wore rub
bers to-night? Hands up.
"Not half of you. Now, that is
what I thought. Every one of you
should have rubbers on a night like
this. To go without them is to invite
colds, brouchial trouble, catarrh and
pneumonia. It is astonishing how
people neglect their feet, llubbera
are fifty cents. You can save a lot of
money on the investment perhaps a
ten-days' doctor bill, to say nothing of
mediciue."
The doctor might have made it still
stronger and said that a fifty-cent pair
of rubbers would not only save doctor
bills and medicine bills, but often life
itself. Don't try to save on rubbers;
it's the most expensive economy in
the world, especially just now when

and when discharged he has a trade
which he can follow with honor and

ago that our navy was made up mostly
of foreigners, but eighty per cent, or
more of the present force of enlisted
men are native-born Americans. I

training station at Newport the other

began we had only 7000 men in the
navy. Now it numbers almost 27,
000, but we will never reduce the
figure lower than 12,000 again, and we
have a fine lot of men to pick those
12,000 from. We are going to have
