Plttli.s; the Roll For Crnpi. When I was a boy my father ttod 10 say, "Well, II., this land Is well adapted for corn, potatoes, or beans, mid I think we better breuk up a Iiec and try It.'' Sometimes flip piece? thus selected were pretty thoroughly pitted with large rocks not easily removed, to say nothing of an abundance of small stones, thus making it a dllficult mat ter to turn over the sod nieely. As we had only n common A-hnrrow to pulverize with In those days, there was considerable bnckitcue Invested In tire eropR we raised. Very often good rrops wete obtained, notwithstanding the unfavorable conditions; but as 1 look back, upon that time It seems as If It was a good way to make a boj disgusted with farm work. Removing largo stones with a good team is pleasant enough, and picking up small ones is certainly a paradise compared with trying to raise crops where large and small ore permitted to remain on the lot during plowing and cultivation. 1 am not sure that farmers would ever bave given up the cultivation of such rough lots had not Western com petition forced them to It. It is certainly an expensive luxury nowadays for a farmer te hire and pay good wages and do much hand work. Improved implements in recent years have very much lessened the backache of the olden time, and those old times were not good times either. Farmers returning from work at night often bad the appearance of rainbows, 111 in us the gay colors. Repairs amount to considerable when 'pensive Implements are used on rough lots. To make a good Job every thing In the' way should be removed This takes time and money, but it Is a satisfaction to see an aere nicely cleared, highly fertilized, with a crop on It. showing by signs not to be mis taken that at harvest time the ledger will show a balance on the -Ight side. Fertilizers cost considerable, and one sometimes draws only a Hibernian dividend aftet using his best efforts to make a success. It is still more expensive to cultivate a large area with a small amount of fertilizer; the results are pretty sure to show the truthfulness of "Ho that soweth sparingly shall reap sparingly," to say nothing of the mortification of tbe owner at seeing a poor crop. The excellent results usually obtained by using liberally of high grada phos phate for nearly nil kinds of garden truck, are, no doubt, in a measure, ow ing to its being so thoroughly com minuted. Fine gardens cannot readily and quickly find suitable nourishment In large lumps of stable manure. If it is true that plants takt their nourishment only in liquid form. It be comes a matter of the tirst importance whnt the mechanical condition of the manure applied may be. If one has a disk harrow, and n firm, smooth piece of lunJ near the barn, the condition of the stable manure can.be improved by spreading as much as de sired for garden truck, and giving it thorough going over with the harrow before using. The commercial fertilizer can be thoroughly Incorporated with the ma nure bs this operation If one wishes. If one can afford the money It is usually better to use the stable manure else where, and apply the phosphate for garden truck. The labor ot keeping out weeds Is mui lessened. Very many fanners spread consider, able manure on their mowings In the spring. Where no manure spreader is avail able It is evl.dent that Improving the mechanical condition cf the manure by thi use of a di.sk harrow as above indicated would result In a more even staud of the grass. Handling the ma nure twice would, of course, add to the expense. Henry .1. VeiU, in Massa chusetts riougliniau. Clrlckt living 111 the Shell. There have been volumes written re cently in the Toultry and Agricultural Tress regarding the cause of chirks dy ing In the shell near "pipping" time. Some nuthorl.ies claiming one thing being the cause and others claiming something else. .My opinion Is that no finite mind has as yet been able to fathom this great mystery. All author ities are wllllug to admit that the trou ble may be due to various causes, viz; Too much heat, too little heat, eggs from over fat liens, low fertility or weak porei tage. My opinion is that tho ehtef cause of chicks dying In shell that are artificially incubated Is prin cipally over-heating eggs the first thirty-six hours of incubation. Muiry operators are over anxious to rush up the heat, when eggs are first placed In the egg chamber. While we prefer to run the temperature, yet we would prefer to run the. temperature at 102 degree aim not bove 103 degree the flrst week, and gradually Increase the heat as the hatch progresses. In this way we ca get out a larger per cent, than to run low or high, or even, or uneven temperature, and at same time avoid such a great mortality of chicks dying In the shell. Eggs should never be placed In the Incubator until the operator gets full control of the heat, It seems at If the best make of in cubatort sometimes become unruly and prone to have their own way, appur eutly possessing a good supply of rains. We have worked with incu bator for three days and nights In order to get full control of the tem perature, befort ntrustlng eggs to them, Another d'jlculty that must be overcome by tbv'.tiateur operator, and oiore experienced at well, is to not 1 ill 11 V be so radical In regard to not opening (he door to the egg chamber, for fear a little fresh air will prove fatal to the embryo chick. Fresh air is the es sence of all living things. We open the doors to the egg chamber two, and sometimes three times, a day In order for the eggs to obtain a sufficient amount of pure fresh air, and when eggs are being turned we are In 110 great hurry. Those small things are In favor of a good hatch, and should not be overlooked. However the doors of the egg chamber should not be foolishly opened to please the mere curiosity of visitors, especially near the "pipping" period. Sudden cold air on the chicks at this time Is very dangerous, and th doors should be closed constantly during this period. When chicks die In the shell whon Incubated by natural hens the cause is evidently due to low vitality of the parent stock, resulting from being pushed all winter for eggs, by hot stiinplating foods or by a weak condition caused from disease of some kind. The real cause of chicks dying in shell probably will never be over come. However, as yet, It Is merely theoreticnl, and a great problem to overcome; therefore the best solution in order to obtain n satisfacto-y hatch. Is to have all things corresponding as nearly as possible with Nature's laws. Angels can do no more. J. C. Cllpp, in Indiana Farmer. Ideal Honse For I'oultrf.

Subsoil tillage consists in breaking and fining the subsoil, without bring ing It to the surface. It is not always advisable or profitable, but is some times useful. It Is most likely to prove useful in well-drained soils, where the subsoil is hard and dry. It cannot bo recommended for wet Innd. If at tempted where the subsoil Is wet and clayey, there Is a tendency to puddling the clay, which does more harm than good. When, however, there Is ade quate undenlralmige,' natural or nr tlllelal, breaking up, mellowing nnd loosening the subsoil proves useful, be cause it enables tbe water to percolate through the soil more freely, results in better aeration of the subsoil, and deepens that portion of the soli In which roots can healthfully develop. Roots follow the line of least insist ence, If the soil bo mellow to the full depth required by such crops as car rots, beets and parsnips, they will de velop welt-shaped, symmetrical and smooth roots, hut If the subsoil be hard the roots will be stunted nnd deformed. Subsoillng Is most likely to prove use ful for root crops and fruit trees. Subsoillng Is performed by means of a plow especially designed for the pur pose. Two tennis are required in order !o carry on the work to advantage. The first team is for the ordinary plow, the second for the subsoil plow, which Is used in tho furrow behind the common plow. The power required for tho sub soil plow of course varies widely, with the soli and the depth at which the plow Is worked. It may not be greater than that required for the common plow, ".but it Is sometimes' foul times as mach, In which case four or more horse mny be needed.

In tho recent agitation here about the price of gns, the demand for lower rates was sup ported by the argument that every resi dent is as dependent upon a supply of gas as upon a supply of good water. it lias come to pass that the day la borer uses gas as his only fuel for cooking, because of economy, and the rich muii uses gas on account of Its convenience. Gas for llghfing, with modern Improvement In burner. Is cheaper, better nnd more ntlsfactory than any other kind of light. Gas sell nt $1.0(1 per thousand cubic feet in large cities, and from that to at high a $3.00 in smaller towns.

Acetylene 1 a more per fect lllumlnnnt than tbe gas sold by the big gag companies in the cities, and the cost to the smallest user 1 about the equivalent of city ga at 85 cents per thousand. Acetylene Is the modern artificial light, tbe latest addition to the many inventions that have become dally ne cessities. The light from an acetylene flame is soft, steady and brilliant, and In qual ity is only rivnled by the sun' rays. If water and a solid material known as Calcium Carbide are brought Into con tact, the Immediate result Is the mak ing of this wonderful gas. Tho genera tion of acetylene Is no simple that ex perience or even apparatus Is not neces sary to make it. If it Is desired to make It for practical lighting, and to keep it for immediate use, then a small machine called an "Acetylene Genera tor" Is employed. There are many re sponsible concern making acetylene generators. In practice this gas is dis tributed In small pipes' throughout buildings, grounds or entire cities and town in the same manner as ordinary city gas.

Charley Mitchell Thought Better of Intended Chastiiement. Tbe presence fn New York of Mitch ell, once boxing champion of England, .recalls an incident In the strenuous career of the late "Steve" Brodie. who Jumped from the Brooklyn bridge nearly a score of years ago to glory, prosperity and histrionic fnme. Brodic visited London In tho early nir.ctlcb where Mitchell, playing the part r.i cicerone one night, introduced the Bowery boy at the Spooferles club, a resort for prize fighters, horse jockies. and their kind, where tbe festivities are seldom concluded before daylight and tbe police have more than once been called upon to restrain merri ment. In the course of a general conversa tlon the English fighter happened tc make some adverse comment upon the then mighty John L. Sullivan, which called forth a sarcastic remark from Brodie with reference to Mitchell's abilities ars a sprinter while in the rin? with the American champion. With an oath the Englishman gave the smaller man a push that sent him reeling ten feet backward, and then rushed upon him to administer correc tion for the other's temerity. Brodic was due for a fearful bruising, but th Bowery boy was equal to the occasion. He was erect on his feet with a pistol In bis hand when the prize fighter reached him. Putting the weapon un der the other's nose, he remarked calmly: "You t'ink you're goln' to make a reputation off iickin' Steve Brodie, don't yer? Well, you Just hit me once and there'll be a lot In the papers about It, but you won't read it." Fully appreciating the inutility of post-mortem notoriety, Mitchell ex plained that he was only Joking, and the Incident was closod. New York Times. Author' Eccentricities.

The Kings county court was thrown Into disorder and dismay, say a Seat tle special to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, when the prisoner at the bar, H. R. McTavish, ate all the evidence In the case on trial. McTavish was being tried on a charge of forging a t'.H check. The check lay on the trial tabie. marked "exhibit A." McTavish sat beside his counsel, who was en gaged In cross-examining a witness for the prosecution. The case was going against Mc Tavish when his eye fell on the chock, which was about to be introduced in evidence. Like a half-starved man and with a look of hunger In his eye, the prisoner pounced upon "eahiblt A" and chewed It to pulp. With soulful satisfaction he gulped it down. The prosecution was In con sternation, for its main piece of evi dence was gone, and demanded that a stomach pump be used forthwith. While the lawyers argued pro and con, tho prisoner calmly picked his teeth with a whittled .match, plRinly the master of the ritual ion. The defense argued that the ball of paper In the defendant's stomach could in no wise be construed as documentary evi dence, and that a dismissal was prop er. The case of tho state of Washing ton against H. R. McTavish Is now In Btatu quo pending the untangling of the legal question Involved from the defendant's Impromptu luncheon. "Exclamatory" All.

At the dinner table, on the even ing of bis arrival, wishing to be pleas ant to the girl, who had taken great pains to see that he had everything he wanted, he turned to her and said, not knowing whether she was mar ried or not: "How is your husband, Eliza?' "He ain't much bettah, Sah," re plied the girl. "Oh, then he's been sick. What's the matter with him." asked ' Mr. Gates. "Why, de doctah say he got ex clamatory rheumatis'm, Sah."

How Spiders Make Love. The courtship of the Saltis pulex, a spider, is described by an expert in in sect life as a most elaborate exhibi tion of skill and grace In dancing. Balancing his body on his long, legs, he moves In a semi-circle for about two inches, and then reversing the position twists nnd turns. In the oppo site direction, repeating this grotesque figure spores of times, and pausing every few minutes to rock from side to side, and to bend his brilliant legs, so that they may be brought Into full view of his admiring mate. A similar display, but with varied antics, marks the love-making of other sorts of spiders, but this manner of courting Is not without its risks, and It may often happen that the lively suitor, If he prolongs his performance, or shows ofT his points of perfection loo persistently, is suddenly seized and devoured by his more muscular mate.

These resolution "Indorse the attitude of President ltoosevelt In condemning secret rebates nnd other Illegalities. 1111.I (ommend the attitude of the heads of American rail ways, who, with practical niinnlnil!y, huvo Joined with the President on this question." They then respeetfiilly point out to Congress the "Inadvlsabli Ity of legislation vesting In the hands of a commission power over railway rates, now lower by fa In the United Mate than In any other country." be cause such regulation would "result In litigation nnd confusion end Inevitably tend to an enforced reduction In rales, irrespective oT the question of the al.il Ity of the railroads to stand the reduc tion, especially in view or the Increased cost of their Mipplios. and materials." They further protested against sm-h power being given to the present Inter state Commission because "the pro posed legislation is not In harmony with our idea of American Juris prudence, liiasniiieli as It contemplates that n single body shall have the right to Investigate. Indict, try, condemn and then enforce its decisions nt tho cost of Ihe carriers, pending appeal, which is manifestly inequitable." The conductors base their demand for only such legislation. If any, na would "secure and lusure justice and equity and preserve equal rights to all parties concerned" on the ground that the low cost of transportation "is the result of the cftieicuey of American railway management mid operation which have built up Ihe country through cotiFtunt Improvement and de velopment of territory, while nt the same time recognition has been given to the value of Intelligence among em ployes in contrast to foreign methods, where high freight rates and lowest Wages to employes obtain." Ill pressing their clulin iigaii,,; !!is lation adverse to their interests, they point out thp fact thct "the freight rates of this country average only two per cent, of the cost of articles to the consumer, thus making the freight rate so Insignificant a factor in the selling price that numerous standard articles arc sold at the same price in all parts of the country." Railway Accidents. Eailway experts are continually seeking means to avoid accidents by Insuring thoroughness of construction. A device Just coming Into use on the English railways Is a screw used for fastening the rails to the ties. These are supposed to be screwed home with a spanner, but the workmen were ac customed to hammering them home, saving labor, but decreasing the effi ciency of the screw. Now screws are made capped by a cone of soft metal. Two or three blows of a hammer will flatten this cone and result in the de tection of the careless employe. New York Herald.
