READING BY FIREFLY LIGHT.
This Is a Story of an Adventure In
the Forests of Venezuela.
Whllo out on a hunting expedition In
the forest-covered mountains of Pavla,
In eastern Venezuela, I became dissat
isfied with the neighborhood and start
ed out to move further on into the for
est, where ground was being cleared
for a new plantation of cacao, writes
a correspondent of the Indianapolis
News. 'While trudging through the
woods I carried all my necessaries In a
sack slung over my shoulder. Among
Its contents were three books, one of
them a copy of Don Quixote, in the
original Spanish. Two young Venezue
lans accompanied mo, and as we went
along I lightened tholr fatigue by tell
ing them Btories.
The journoy was long and In the
afternoon it began to rain; so that, wet
to .the skin, tired and hungry as wolves
Wo arrived, Just as night was closing
in, at the place where the trees were
being felled. In the middle of the
clearing there was the usual "ayupa,"
or shed of palm leaves resting upon
Upright poets. Beneath this we swung
our hammocks, and then proceeded to
make supper.
We had not a dry match left, and
there was no one there but ourselves,
o that the beet we could do was to
at our casava bread in the dark and
wash it down with some water which
we luckily found In a calabash.
Our hammocks and the spare suits
of clothes we had brought rolled up in
them were fairly dry, so that we lay
comfortably enough. But sleep was
long In coming. We tried to talk en
tertainingly, but my story-telling en
ergy was gone; and the most we could
do was to keep up an intermittent con
versation. "How jolly it would be," said one of
the Venezuelans, "if we had a lamp
and some books."
"Why, I've got Don Quixote In the
sack," said I.
"Yes, but what's the good of that
without a light for the lamp?" he re
plied.
"I'll soon have a light," I said, as I
Jumped from my hammock and went
outside to catch the first firefly that
passed me. Presently I had one in my
fingers, and soon, with Don Quixote,
open, I was lying In the hammock
reading aloud In such darkness that
none of us could see the faces of the
others.
I had only one firefly, yet It was quite
sufficient, because I used It properly.
I held the little creature between finger
andthumb.closetothepage.and passed
it along the lines of print, word after
word became successively visible and
passed from my lips as freely as If I
had had the whole page plainly before
me, Instead of a little circle of light,
illuminating word after word as It
moved steadily along the paper.
My hearers were amused and de
lighted, for I read without the slight
est Interruption or hesitation for two
or three hours until sleep dulled our
Interest, and the book was laid aside
and the firefly allowed to go free.
London's Daring Man.
A stray man trying to find his way
out of Prince's restaurant by the Jer-
myn street exit, wandered into the
midst of the Society of American
Women In London who were holding
one of their luncheons. Heeave one ter
rified glance round, exclaimed "This
Is terrible," and fled.
The solitary aian who graced If
that Is tbe word the high table on the
president's right hand did not seem to
feel his position '"terrible," not even
whon tbe president during her speech
indicated him as the person the society

Congregation Shocked.
A Missouri paper tell of a man
named Jones, a newcomer, having de
posited $100 In the preacher's salary
box one Sunday recently. The preach
er asked why he had been so generous,
and Ira said he had just engaged In
business in the town and he wanted
to help along the came. Then the
preacher announced that he would
surely patronize Mr. Jones, and he
asked all the congregation who would
do likewise to stand up. The whole
congregation arose, and then the
preacher asked Mr, Jones what his
business was, and he replied: "lama
saloonkeeper." Borne of the good
brethren and sisters almost fell dead.
The shock was simply awful.
Lynchlngs Diminishing.
All the lynchlngs within 21 years
that he could verify have been tab
ulated by Mr. Cutler of Yale Univer
sity. In that time 1,873 negroes hav'e
been lynched and 1,256 whites. Since
the whites are about six times as nu
merous as the blacks, the proportion
of negroes lynched Is, of course, very
much larger than these figures indi
cate. Only 35 per cent of these ne
groes were lynched for the social
crime that is usually associated In the
mind with this method of punishment.
The number of lynchlngs has diminish
ed since 1892.

The English natural gas has two ad
vantages over the American. In tbe
Heathttold district, near London, all

120 pounds per square inch, which Is

In England. The other advantage la
that, while American gas, when burnt
In a flsb-tall or Argand burner, has
practically no Illuminating power, the
former, when burnt under the same

Straight Backs In Hogs.
The back should be straight, broad
and evenly covered with Tleeh. View
ing the hog from the side tbe bock
should be straight In aged animals and
slightly arched In all young stock.
With advancing age the back Is al
most sure to settle, thus the straight
backed young animal usually devel
ops Into a sway backed aged animal.
Width of bark Is very essential. Many
hogs are so sharp In the back that they
are designated as "sun fished." When
fat they should possess an even cover
ing of firm, thick flesh. Pror. f. J.

Fattening Chickens for Msrket
The results of experiments In fat
tening chickens for market In Canada
are given as follows, by the chief of
that division. He says:.
1. That pure bred or hih grade chick
ens can be roared more cheaply In the
fattening crates, and present a better
market appearance than do common
chickens or "scrub" chickens.
2. That there Is more profit In plac
ing well-fatted chickens on the mar
ket than In marketing lean chickens.
3. That four months old Is the most
profitable age at which to market
chickens.
4. That heavy chickens are not gen
i rally as salable as medium weight
t-nes.
6. That the type of chicken desired
I Canada or Great Britain, is a
young, plump bird, with a broad, full
breast, wblte colored flesh, white or
yellow colored legs, wlthour feath
ers or spurs, an J with a small head.
6. That crate fattening of chickens
Is the farmer's business; that It is a
profitable business; that It does not
require a largo outlay to fatten 100
or 200 chickens; that the chickens are
fed from trougihs, and that machine
feeding 1b not necssary.
Houses In the Fields.
Farmers should put their poultry
houses out in the fields during the
hot weather, so that much of the In
sect life which abounds there may be
picked up and destroyed.
The question of vermin destroying
Is one which has long occupied the ear
nest attention of the fanner and
fruit grower, and in the employment
of chickens for this purpose is found
one of the best checks that could pos
sibly be put upon the distressing rav
ages of Insects upon which the fowls
would thrive. We have known mus
tard growers to lose whole crops, which
have been eaten oft by beetles and
wire worms In a most distressing man
ner. We have been glad to see places
where there Is a nice park, and here
and there dotted about under the trees
the chickens were cooped to enjoy an
Ideal existence for them. This ver
min question Is destined to come right
to the forefront of poultry keeping, and
we should advise all farmers and
others who are pestered with vermin
in any quantity to give this their ear
nest consideration.
Of course, poultry keepers tth only
a limited space at their command
find It Impossible to give their birds
the advantage we have recommended.
These less fortunate individuals might
make up very largely for this by giv
ing their birds a plentiful supply of
fresh food, which In a measure com
pensates for the lack of insect life
fowls like so much. Mark Lane Ex
press. Low-Cost Silos.
A successful and durable silo may be
bad without a large outlay. A word of
caution Is necessary, and that Is, do not
try to cheapen the cost ot a silo by
careless or indifferent work. Although
Inexpensive, It should be well built.
Much Is saved In the cost of a silo
by locating It In the barn. The frame
of the latter la already In existence, to
support the silo, and the barn roof
supplies the necessary covering.
A silo must be air-tight The lining
boards should be perfectly seasoned so
that no shrinkage can take place, mak
ing cracks through which the air can
enter. Ensilage Is the result of cer
tain fermentation processes, and the
presence of too much air will carry the
work so far that the fodder becomes
rotten. Tbe walls of the silo must be
made very rigid to withstand the groat
pressure of the silage as it settles. Thoy
must also be perpendicular, and should
be smooth to facilitate the process of
settling.
The capacity of a silo Is obtained
by multiplying its-cubic feet by the
average number of pounds per cubic
foot for a silo of Its doptb. The aver
age weight ot ensilage from a silo
twenty feet deep Is about thirty-three
pounds, and from one thirty feet about
forty pounds. A silo 11x15 and twenty
feet deep would contain about fifty
four tons if full. Of course, it Is Im
practicable to have it completely full
at the time ot opening It, so some al
lowance must be. made. A cow fed
thirty pounds a day will eat three tons
in two hundred days; if fed forty
pounds she will eat 'four tons. From
the above statement one can figure near
enough to the size of silo he needs. It
is best to make the silo as deep as con
ditions will warrant. It may extend
four to six feet below the barn floor.,
The bottom should be of atone and
cement; a foot of stone cobbles from
the field, decreasing In size from bot
tom to top, where they approximate in
size to coarse gravel covered with a
coat of cement A cheap grade of ce
ment -will answer and It should be
mixe 'with two parts sand. The board
ing t the walls should be perpendicu
lar, and tbe boards planed. Two lay
era of perfectly seasoned narrow
boards, thoroughly nailed on, the Inner
lapping over the edges of the outer
layer, will make a tight box. The
framew ork to w hich theboerdsare fast
ened may he made out of 2x4 scantling,
provided the silo be not more than 20
feet deep. They should extend from
top to bottom on the Inside of the
beams, girts and sills of the barn, be
ing two to four feet apart and between
these should run short pleres In a hori
zontal position. , The bottom of the up
right pieces should be fastened on tne
Inside of sills Imbedded In the cement
Feeding doors should be made about
three feet wide.
One Intending to build a silo would
do well to Inspect several others. Two
caRks ot cement, a few pounds of nails
and something over 2500 feet of lum
ber will be the material required. R.
W. Ellis, In the American Cultivator.
The Rotation of Crops.
Tbe rotation of crops not only keeps
up the fertility ot the soli, but enables
the farmer to secure larger yields and
the greater returns at smaller cost A
farm consisting ot 100 acres may be so
rotated as to permit the land to re
cuperate Itself without the necessity
of expenditure for fertilizers, except
for a certain class. Grass Is the great
agent for renovating the soil, and far
mers make use of It for that purpose,
but one of the great evils In growing
grass Is the attempt to secure "perma
nent" pasture. Permanent pasture has
caused greater loss than any other sys
tem, for the reason that it has been the
great hindrance to a proper rotation
of crops. But few farmers are willing
to plow up a servlceaoble pasture, as
they look only upon the present side
of the picture without a proper regard
to the future. Take a 100-ocre farm, or
any size that may be desired, and div
ide It into five fields, growing no grain
crop of the same kind on any one ot the
lots but twite In five years, the farm
being devoted to dairying if preferred.
Allow' tbe first field to corn, the second
to oats or wheat, the third to grass for
hay, the fourth to grass for pasturage
and the fifth to potatoes and root crops.
Put all the manure of the farm upon
the field on which the corn Is to grow.
The result of rotation will be that
upon the lot on which the hay crop Is
grown the whole product of the 20
acres may be stored In tbe barn, while
any number of crops may be cut as
long as the grass grows high enough.
The next season leave that field for
pasture during tbe entire year, but In
the fall plow It under and sow to rye.
In the spring pasture the rye until lat
er grass Is ready, allow the rye to grow
to suitable height and then plow it un
der and sow to millet or buckwheat
Plow this crop under also and apply 10
or 20 bushels ot lima per acre, sow in
rye and let It remain until spring, when
It will be rich enough to grow a large
crop of corn per acre. Let oats or
wheat follow the corn', seeding to clover
for the hay crop. No fertilizer will be
required for any crop but tbe oats or
wheat, and no expensive nitrogenous
compounds need be purchased. An
application of CO pounds ot muriate of
potash and one bag of pure ground
bone per acre to the oats or wheat will
allow for all that may be carried off
the farm. The manure will go to the
bay or corn crop, which Increases the
yields, while tbe sod prevents loss by
washing. The pasturing of the hay
field the second year utilizes the after
growth and leaves a greater mass of
roots in the soil to decompose. The
gross restores nitrogen by appropriat
ing It from the nitric acid of the atmos
phere through the agency of the bac
teria In the soli. By plowing under
the pasture, the sod, roots and manure
left over are mingled with the soil to
decompose. The rye affords early pas
ture, and being plowed under In late
spring adds vegetable matter, forming
humus to the soil, and destroys weeds.
The next crop of millet or buckwheat
kills out the weeds and also adds
green matter. The lime neutralizes
the acids of the soil, hastens decom
position and chemical action, as well
as serving aa plant food and mechan
ically loosening and mellowing the
soil. Thus the several fields will al
ways be in good condition for grain
crops, weeds will be destroyed with
but little labor, while pasturage will
always be plentiful. Three-fifths ot
the land will always be in grass, but
not permanently, while the crops will
be larger and the land become more
fertile every year.
The present system of permanent
pastures will not permit of a com
plete rotation of crops. InBtead of a
pasture give the farm rotation, care
being taken t'.iat clover is grown for
hay and the sod turned under. Or,
what Is better, plow under a complete
second-growth . clover crop, which
though seemingly expensive, Is really
a cheap method of manuring. During
rotation every part of the farm will
be under grass some portion of tho
time, and the space formerly devoted
to pasture may bear a crop, leaving
other fields in gross. A complete ro
tation of crops is the safest, surest and
best method of enriching the farm, and
the land will annually become richer
and the productions Increased. One
plan of rototion Is to plow up the
gross land and plant corn, giving it
clean cultivation In order to follow
with a root crop. Corn may first bo
considered as a crop, and next roots
which require cultivation. Then the
wheat or oats may follow, the previous
oultlvaled crop preventing weeds and
undesirable Intruders. Clover should
be sown on the wheat In spring, and
thus occupy the land two years. The
rotation Is then corn, roots, wheat,
clover and clover five periods. Fol
low clover wttth corn, and every portion
of the 'farm will be In clover during
the five years, as well as avoiding the
tax lag of the soli with a single crop
indefinitely. Philadelphia Record.

Oldest Stamp Issued In Russia.
The stamps of Hongkong, which re
main unchanged since the first Issue
ire the oldest In the world. All other
stamps have been changed in the 40
dd years, but the head of Queen Vic
toria on tbe Hongkong stomp has
never ibeen altered. Now, however. It
appears that a new set of stamps is to

The Gorilla at Home.
Paul de Challlu.asme explorer, whom
death occurred lately In Russia, Intro
duced tl:e gorilla to tbe western world.
No one believed his first account of
the finding of this ferocious creature.
His books on the subject were ridi
culed, and his lectures unattended.
Now everybody knows about the gor
illas. The small boy who longs to be
a mighty hunter dreams delightedly of
them along with Hons and elephants.
Gorillas are not carnivorous, though
they are none the less dangerous on
that ' account. Few beasts have aa
uglier disposition. Their habit ot ad
vancing upon their foes roaring and
beating upon their hairy chests with
a reverberation like a drum is well
known, but the story of their hiding
In tree tope until some unwary native
passes beneath, when, lowering a
dreadful hind leg and clutching him
around the neck with sinewy finger
like toes, they draw him up to be de
voured, Is a little overdrawn.
