800 Carp In a Cabbage Patch. '
Eight hundred carp In a cabbage
patch will give a alight Idea of the
number of these fl6h In Canandatgua
lake. The connection may not at first
be plain, but It must be understood
that the lake and the cabbage patch
are adjacent.
Thomas Raferty, who owns a farm
on the east Bhore of Canandaigua lake,
about three miles from the village,
went out to his cabbage patch the other
day and found it covered with dead
and dying carp, some of them of 10
to 15 pounds weight.
They had Invaded the land during
the high water of Sunday, and had
been left stranded by the receding
waters.
Raferty didn't consider this a piece
of good luck. He could not get rid of
the Ssh all alone, and soon his neigh
bors came to him with loud com
plaints and threats to have him In
dicted for maintaining a nuisance.
Finally he called on the village
board of health for aid. There were
more than 800 of the fish. New York

Change In Pronunciation.
How we came to pronounce July as
we do now with the accent on the sec
ond syllable is one of the unsolved
mysteries of speech. Named, of
course, after Julius Caesar, it should
really be pronounced to rhyme with
"duly," and so our forefathers actual
ly did pronounce it. Spenser, for in
stance, has the line, "Then cams hot
July boyllng like to fire," and even
so late as Johnson's time the accent
was still on the "Ju." It Is one of
many words which would startle those
ancestors of ours, spoken as wo speali
them now.
WRONG SORT

A, change to the right kind of food
can lift ono from a sick bed. A lady In
Weidcn, III., says:
"Last spring I became bedfast with
severe stomach trouble accompanied by
sick headache. I got worse mid worse
until I became so low I could scarcely
retain any food at all, although I tried
every kind. I had become complete
ly discouraged, had given up all liopo
pnd thought I was doomed to starve to
death, till one day my husband trying
to find something I could retain brought
liome some Grape-Nats.
"To my surprise the food agreed with
me, digested perfectly and without dis
tress. I began to gain strength at
one, my flesh (which bad been Hubby)
grew firmer, my health improved In
every way and every day, and in a very
few weeks I gained 20 pounds in
weight. I liked Grape-Nuts so well
that for 4 months I ate no other fond,
and always felt as well satlsiled after
eating as If I bad sat down to a flue
banquet.
"I had no return of the miserable
tick stomach uor of the headaches that
I used to have whim I ate other food.
I am now a well woman, doing all my
own work again, and feel that life Is
worth living.

to my family; It surely saved my Ufa

Selling Is Hair the Crop.
It makes me tired to hear farmers
say there Is no sale for their produce,
when they don't even let any one know
that they have some commodities for
snle. Last summer I visited neighbor
8. I noticed he had a few trees of
summer llnnibo apples as flue as Oiey
grow, going to waste. I asked him
why he did not sell them. "No one
wants them," he replied. I told him
such apples were In big demand In
York at more than $1 per bushel.
"Well, John," he said, speaking to his
son, "I guess you will have to take
them down and sell them, and you will
have half the money." 8o John put
the apples nicely on straw in the
wagon box and covered them nil up
with blankets and started to York to
sell the npples. Ho drove up town
about a mile, thoseapplesnlcely covered
up all the time, expecting, no doubt,
that some telepathlst oi mind render
would divine what he had, ccne out ou
the street, stop him and buy the ap
ples, but he was not so fortunate. Hy
mere accident, a grocer discovered that
he had apples, and on sight bought
them all for about litilf what he could
have sold them for had he only let
people know that he had apples for
sale. Think of a merchant closing nil
his show windows, taking down his
sign nnd absolutely Rtop all advertis

he would do? L. W. Llghty, in Massa

To Kill Hanks.
A Louisiana render asks how to give
nux vomica to chickens and how often
to give it to kill hawks, and if it Is
dangerous.
It undoubtedly is dangerous to the
chickens, if our reader Intends to give
it to those that are alive, especially if
more than one dose is given.
Of course if nux vomica could be
given to one chicken only, nnd the
hawk be made to select that one and
eat It, thcro Is a bare possibility that
Mr. Hawk might die or at least become
so sick of chicken that he would not
return for another.
Still, we think this would be nn Im
possible tnsk, and other methods would
he more effective. Wo have heard that
arsenic or strychnine put In the car
cass of a dead chicken, -which is placed
in view of the hawk out of reach of
other chickens and cats, has been found
to kill not only the old one, but the
entire brood of young huwks to which
it Is carried.
Scarecrows have but little terror for
hawks, especially when they have a
brood of young ones to feed, and we
doubt If there Is any better way of
making way with them than with a
good shotgun. It may require a little
patience to lie In wait and get a shot
at a hawk, but if one or two are thus
killed the others are not likely to give
further trouble.
Bare yards, with no grass or weeds,
offer an Inviting place, for the hawks,
nnd the chickens have no way to es
cape from them.
A marten box erected near the chick
en yard will be of material aid in fight
ing hawks. One little marten or blue
bird will put a big hawk to flight
and will often chase him fully a mile
away.
A nest of martens and a few well
directed shots will do more than all
the poison that one can arrange.
Homo und Farm.
Increasing the Fodder Supply.
Fine and well-rotted stable- manure
will also often pay in tho Increase of
rowen, when spread on the land shortly
after the first crop Is secured. Another
method of obtaining a good second crop
as advised by Professor C. 8. Phelps
in a crop report of Massachusetts
Board of Agriculture is to cut early,
plow nnd seed at onco to clover and
mixed grasses, using at least fifteen
pounds of clover to the acre. With
seeding done enrly in July, a good crop
of clover should be obtained late In
September or early in October, und a
strong grow til of grass and clover the
following year.
Taking up the specific crops that can
bo grown to supplement the hay crop,
Professor Fhclps gives those that are
best adapted to the purpose, time of
seeding, quantity of seed per acre,
time of cutting nnd method of use,
whether for hay, silage or green fodder.
The crops mentioned are corn, Hun
garian grass, the millets, soy beans,
oats nnd pens, barley and peas, winter
vetch, rape nnd cabbage. Hungarian
grass Is, all things considered, probably
tho best crop that could bo sown in
July for hay, and should bo cut early,
even before nil the heads are formed,
as it tends to grow woody as it ripens.
Soy beaui are a valuable crop, particu
larly for silage. Late cabbage can
often be grown to profit as a market
crop, and the unmarketable portions
will furnish valuable fodder. Trofes
sor Phelps says that he has found
apple pomace to be a vnlnable feed
for milch cows, and there are many
sections where it can ho obtained for
the hauling;.
The article closes' with some excel
lent advice as to feeding the hay crop
after all possible has been done to sap
pUment It To obtain tho best results.
about one-half tho dry matter of the
ration should come from the grain
feeds. The cheaper dry fodders, such
as corn stover or oat straw, may then
be fed In connection with liberal silage
and grain feeding, and good results
will follow. Massachusetts Plough-man.
flinching; Straw,
I hnve taken the IndlniiR Farmer for
a number of years, and like It. Have
often been Impressed to answer some
of your contributors, but hnve delayed
until to-day, thinking I could not bet
ter the situation. Have Just rend In
a recent number under caution "How
to Save Straw."
It nppenr to my mind that the Vigo
County farmer (though a good follows
lacks the cournge nnd tnct of a good
Jap soldier. Before blowers were
heard of, any man was expected to
take his place on the straw stark, If so
requested. Sometimes as many as five
men wrought on a stack until It was
completed rightly, nnd would preserve
Itself for future use (perhaps for sev
eral years). Along with tho blower
came the declaration "That all hand
stacking was at nn end," for the Mower
completed the stuck. I discredited It
from the start. I knew the declaration
wns a fake the firt blower stack I
saw. It had a shed roof from the
ground up on the opposite side from
the machine, nnd shapeless pile of
finely cut straw, from top to bottom.
A perfect spring to receive nnd retain
moisture, nnd thereby spoil the good
feed In It The first blower we hnd on
our farm, we started in with two good
stackers to follow the rotating pipe,
to trnmp the middle nnd nrrange the
straw evenly over the surface. Then
we gave orders to blow the straw
where It was u eded to complete a good
self preserving top on it. We have
never lost our straw, but get much
good feed out of it during winter. We
then tear down the residue for fall fer
tllir.rr, nnd put it all back on the foil
In twelve months again. Atn not
prophet enough to divine Just where
American farmers will drift to. Too
tony to be found on the blower straw
stack, for lore or money, afraid of little
outside dust when the Good Hook says
ho Is made of dust. We may save
our straw In stacks about as wo for
merly did, if we go at It rightly.
My rule Is to go on my neighbor's
stack provided he will work on mine,
or furnish u man.
Pay stackers extra, if they desire it;
it will be money well spent. We have
a couple of pairs of goggles to be used
on threshing days. Also furnish n
dump sponge to tie over nose and
mouth to exclude dust, If so desired.
Blower stacks need steeper roofs on
thorn,. and the middle kept very solid.
A few days after threshing and the
stacks settles a little, make the roof
a little steeper and higher, and fasten
rails or poles on tho ridge against
heavy fall winds. J. Beebe, iu Indlur

KeaUtlns; Potato KliRht and Rot,
Thorough cultivation tends to con
serve the moisture of the soil in n dry
season iwheu then is little danger of
rot), nnd in a wet season it helps to
keep tho ground from becoming wet
and soggy. Itldglng the rows holds up
the vines from the ground, and thus
aids in a quicker evaporation of mois
ture from the foliage and ground, and
in so doing aids in retarding tho
spread of the blight. It also covers the
tubers deeper in the soil, and so pro
tect them better from the blight spores
that fall from tho leaves. Where
spraying Is practiced It olso makes this
operation easier. The objection to rldg
Ing is that in a dry season It may cause
the plants to suffer for lack of mois
ture. By far the most satisfactory type of
spraying outfit for thoroughness of
work Is a two-wheeled curt, of suf
ficient reach to straddle two rows of
potatoes, which carries an ordinary
barrel pump and a mau to pump and
drive. Two men follow the cart, each
using a twenty-five-foot hose with a
single nozzle, and they each spray
three rows without moving from the
row, in which they travel buck ward.
The man drives the length of the hose
and the men spray their rows up to the
cart, which then moves on ngiiln. In
this way the ground can be gone over
fairly quickly, and the spraying can
be done as thoroughly as desired. Two
nozzles to a hoto seem to be a little
better than one.
Another nppuratus is a type often
used. In this case the stationary noz
zles aro attached to the end of an or
dinary cart carrying a barrel pump,
and the pumping is done by hand.
Tills, too, has some of the objections of
the geared machines. By vejry slow
driving, however, more spray can be
placed on the vines, but because of the
stationary uouzles it will not be done
very thoroughly or evenly, in this par
ticular apparatus better work would
have been done If tho pump hud
bee-n stronger. It was not powerful
enough to readily supply the eight
nozzles used.
' The results of spraying with bor
deaux mixture vary with different sea
sons, but depend largely on the thor
oughness of the treatments and their
application at the proper time. It Is
much easier to secure an Increased
yield of potatoes from spraying than
It Is to prevent rot In these afterward.
Tills Increased yield varies from utmost
nothing to sometimes over 100 per
cent, and the rot of 'the tubers Is
usually less in the sprayed tliuu In the
unsprayed fields. An average gain of
fifteen to twenty per cent, should bo
had In order to pay for the- extra cost
and trouble of spraying; any gain
obove that Is profit. U. P. Clinton,

The 4Xnd Ituad. Proposition.
tOC HE press or the country In
g y all directions Is urging at-
0 O tentlon to the question of
1 J- national aid to good roads.
afOHr The proposition as einbod;
led in the Brownlow-Iithner bills has
now been under discussion long
enough to be well understood, nnd the
demand for Its adoption as a national
policy Is growing In ever. quarter.
The first of these bills wns Introduced
in the House by Hon. W. P. Brown
low, of Tennessee, nnd the other In the
Senate by Hon. A. C. Latimer, of
South Carolina. The bills are practi
cally the same, both seeking to bring
in the United States as a co-operative
factor In the systematic construction
nnd Improvement of the highways, the
Government to supply a sum equal to
the sum any State will supply up to
the maximum provided for. In a
speech in Congress on his bill Repre
sentative Itrownlow declared thnt a
general plan of co-operation would
have to be re-sorted to In order to fairly
distribute the burden of taxation neces
sary to adequately Improve the high
ways, nnd added this forecul point:
"So long as we pursue the original
method of taxation the entire burden
of cost for highway improvement falls
upon the owners of agricultural lands
nnd the persons living in the rural
districts. When the great mass of the
people lived in the rural districts this
was a Just and equitable distribution
of taxes for such purposes, but with
the changed conditions of the present
day, when one-hnlf of the people live
in cities, and much more than one-half
of the wealth 1s concentrated In those
cities and in the corporations that are
so powerful nt the present time. It is
absolutely necessary that some means
should be deisedwhereby the reven
ues requisite for the great Improve
ment that Is called for should be ele
rlved from nil of the people and re
sources of the country us nearly as
possible, and not rest, us heretofore,
upon the farming classes, who are the
immediate losers by every failure of
crops and sufferers by every decline in
price of agricultural products."
About one-third of our people bear
the totnl cost of the construction and
Improvement of the common roads.
The-y ore the people of the country dis
tricts, who constitute the mud-sill upon
which is built the political and indus
trial development which is our boast.
To them, in a larger degree than any
other class, we owe the magnitude of
the position to which we huvo attained
along all lines. Upon them tho heavy
hand of taxotlon falls relentlessly.
They never dodge the tax gatherer,
but bear the largest proportion oX the
burdens of government and receive
the smallest of its benefits. It is nn
unjust nnd unequal distribution of tho
burdens nnd benefits of government,
and it Is to correct 1c ?. measure these
inequalities nnd hardships that tho
bills under discussion nro being urged
by tb people everywhere.
