Farley as a Stoclc Food.
Barley will grow on any soil that
will produce wheat. It is a superior
food for stock. In England it is used
for fattening hogs instead of corn, and,
while it does not equal corn in produc
ing fat on the carcass, yet the hogs
weigh fully as much as those fed on
corn, as they contain more lean meat.
For the growing pigs it is far superior
to corn, as it produces more protein
and mineral matter.
Top-dressina: Wheat with Manure.
Wheat may be top dressed in the fall
or early in the winter if the manure
is fine and free from coarse litter. It
is an excellent way to use manure so
as to preserve it from loss. As wheat
land is plowed in the fall, it is conse
quently loose, and the rains carry the
soluble portions down to the roots of
the plants. The roots also follow the
plant food that may be carried below
the top-sail. By top-dressing wheat
with manure the plants are also, to a
certain extent, protected in winter,
while the spreading of the manure at
this season saves labor in the spring.
Feeding in Trough)*.
One of our readers asks if chickens
should be fed in troughs and adds that
he means grown fowls, since he knows
that, small chickens should be fed in
troughs.
A trough, speaking in general terms,
is intended solely for hogs, cattle, etc.,
and in no case for poultry, and we will
say here that more diseases result
from the use of troughs than from any
other source.
They gather filth, the fowls litter
them and the food sours and decays in
them. We do not think troughs
should ever be used for either young
or old fowls.
For a cheap and economical way to
feed them there is nothing better than
a 12-iuch plank laid flat on' the ground,
and as any desired length.
This suggestion is made simply be
cause we do not think fowls should
have much soft food, our experience
having shown that, hens do better
when given almost exclusively grain
foods. Of course, a variety is relished
and the hens will enjoy a change, but
the main standby should be oats,
wheat, millet and corn, the former be
ing the principal food. —Homo and
Farm.
Culling llio Herd.
There is nothing that assists a
breeder more in maintaining a good
reputation for sending out good stuff
than close culling. No breeder has
been able to raise all good pigs, even
from the most distinguished sires and
* dams, that ever lived. There always
will be some inferior to the others.
These should be consigned to the pork
pens. The breeder that does not do
this will have lots of trouble on his
hands. He will find it unprofitable,
because he cannot sell to the same
man more than one time.
The man that builds up his business
by honest transactions that are satis
factory to the buyer is the one that
makes a profit and a success out of his
business. If you get a customer for
an animal, make the deal so that he
will be your friend and continue your
customer. We have plenty of breed
ers who are of this character and
who praise this method of doing busi
ness. To do business and meet the
requirement, you should have the
blood for which there is a demand.
You should have good sows as well
as good boars if you want to produce
a good class of pig 3. You should give
" close attention to feeding and hand
ling to properly develop them. It is
better to have one good sow, than
three poor or medium ones, for profit.
—American Swineherd.
Corn as a Money Crop.
Much has been done toward educat
ing tbe people of Europe along the
line of cheapness of corn as food and
also the preparation of our corn, so
that in the next decade as the poor
learn from others the many ways of
cooking, its consumptioil will increase
in geometrical progression. Let us
hope that in the near future the serfs
of Russia will not be compelled as now
to mix with their rye sawdust and oth
er material. Corn will bo to them, and
indeed to all the poor of our neighbors
across the waters, a God-given manna
sent from their western brothers.
i uraeve that the low prices of a
j few years since will never be reached
again, and it would be well for our
fanners, especially of the eastern
states, and by eastern I mean ca3t of
the Mississippi river, to turn their at
tention more to the production of corn
as a mu..ej crop. Corn is bulky, and
the increase of freight rates from the
west will be so much in favor of the
eastern states.
In regard to corn raising for the
dairyman, it is one of the best as
wen as the cheapest feeds for cows in
milk. If fed whole, much is wasted,
but the best meat iB made by the filth
iest animal, and a lot of bogs after
cows so fed will increase in weight
faster than if fed the corn on the ear,
and many times they will pay for the
corn fed to the cows.—W. B. Hawkins,
In New England Homestead.
Concorninsr Fancy Clieeieo.
It is in away lamentable to relate,
vljut few indeed a'e the farmers who
Jroave the patience to become proficient
along any one line. Hense all the
more they who are endowed with this
Quality, ace pretty sure to make rapid
strides ahead. Another thing, fancy
products never become a glut in the
market, while the common goods gen
erally do. There is consequently less
risk of loss in the production of fanlpy
fruits, vegetables, live stock and other
farm products, among which may well
be named fancy cheeses. We often
times hear that these so-called fancy
cheeses are only appreciated by those
who have acquired a taste for them,
and that heretofore they have been
made chiefly abroad; today, however,
as an example to the contrary, there is
a big pineapple cheese factory running
almost within a stones throw of the
writer's home and so well is its man
ager prospering that it makes manifest
beyond a doubt that this is an impor
tant branch of our cheese and dairy
industry, and if pursued with energy
is pretty sure to pay in the long run —
aye, give those who engage in this
specialty rewards even beyond the
special knowledge required. It is a
matter of fact, the greater part of this
country has the climate and the vege
tation to supply all the essentials for
these fancy cheses, and better still,
the cost of making them is usually not
much more than for the commoner
kinds. It is asserted that imported
fancy cheeses generally sell for more
than double the amount that our com
mon varieties command, and that
those made in the United States by
expert dairymen can hardly be dis
tinguished from the foreign products.
Should not the latter, then, bring as
much as the former? Certainly, and,
truth to tell, they do.
The fact is the consumption of fancy
cheeses has increased so rapidly dur
ing the past lew years that home
dairymen, notwithstanding the equal
increase in the importation of such
goods, have put forth a noble effort to
supply a part of this demand. The
acquired taste 13 even becoming a
popular taste, and now it is nothing
out of common to see fancy cheeses
on the tables of our leading hotels and
restaurants at all times. Nor does
this in any way diminish the consump
tion of the cheaper factory made
cheese. Rather it opens up a new de
partment of the dairy business, which
should be studie- most carefully. Hap
pily, however, our dairymen are al
ready in a more or less limited man
ner making the leading cheeses in this
country. —Fred O. Sibley, in The Epi
tomist.
Women and Cows,
Women are the best friends of the
dairy industry. Cows milked by
women yield more milk lean when
milked by men. The cow is an easy
going, ruminating animal that leisure
ly converts grass and other food into
milk. Stabled comfortably at night
without a mouthful of food she gives
more milk in the morning than after
being at pasture all day long. This
is because the pasture lacks the con
tentment of the comfortable Btail in
which to ruminate and repose. In this
respect the cow is like the poet. The
cow supplies milk for food for the
body, while the poet creates food for
the soul. Both mediate; both create
food for mankind.
It is a physiological fact that the
waste of the body and the wear of the
mind are restored by repose. This
is a law of nature. It is thus readily
seen that the undisturbed life of the
cow is more productive of milk. The
gentle band of woman and the kind
care of the cow by her produce a larg
er and more perfect product. Hurried
manufactures always lack perfection.
Milk produced by day, when cows are
driven to and from pasture by boys
yelling and throwing stones at them
or worrying them with barking dogs,
is never so perfect, nor abundant, nor
good. Remove the annoyance of boys
and rough men from the dairy, and
prosperity will smile upon it.
There is no milking machine equal
to a woman's hands. The ounce of
st.ripplings—the last richest milk—
that most men when milking leave in
the cow's udder.teils of a loss of many
millions of dollars to the dairy indus
try annually. And every ounce left in
milking means a loss of the capability
of the cow's production. The lack of
fostering the milk tendency is a far
greater loss to the dairy than is gen
erally supposed, if, in fact, it is ever
thought of.
In souio parts of Europe cows are
milked three times a day, and with
economy. But as our custom is to
milk cows twice, we can only estimate
the loss by lack of thorough milking
at two ounces of the richest miik daily.
Multiply 17,U00,000 cows by two and
you have a total of many gallons, as
every gallon of inilk should weigh ten
pounds. Following up the figuring, it
will be found that we lose two or three
millions of dollars every year by the
want of woman's hands in milking.
Cows become strongly attached to
the women who miik and feed them,
and if such cows were tested, it would
be found that they give moro milk.
The family cow milked by a woman
always yields more milk, and richer
in butter, than the same cow does
when turned into the dairy herd. Many
dairy men have paid high prices for
exceptionally good family cows, and
found that with tho ordinary feed and
care of the dairy herd they degenerat
ed into the low grade of the other
cows. It seems that the dairymaid's
hands are full of tho milk of human
kindness. Gentleness and thoughtful
ness and care on the part of the women
of the family for the dairy give thecow
extra fed—a crust, a nibble of corn,
an extra measure of meal or a por
tion of hay and extra straw for bed
ding. These extras add milk to the
PU and put money in the purse.
Kindness to and care of animals pay a
remunerative interest on the capital
invested. —Dr. A. S. Heath, in New
York Tribune.
SHOP DETECTIVE FOKCE.
WATCHES NOT ONLY ViSITORS, BUT
ALSO ESTABLISHMENT'S HELP.
Greatly Augmented I>tir!tig the Holidays
—One Concern lla Thirty Sleutln—.cau
tion and lilscritnlnatioii In Making Ar
rustH— ttuuecouiitilhte Shoplifting Canes.
At best never easy, the policing of
large department stores is, at the busy
season, a most complex problem. Not
only is the tasic aggravated by the in
creased crowds, but bv the infusion of
strange salespeople.
But the main reason for the tem
porary reinforcement of such detective
staffs is to afford a warning to the pro
fessional shoplifters who flock to the
big cities at such opportune times. The
knowledge that a certain store is bet
ter equipped in its detective bureau
than another serves as a most effectual
deterrent, and therein lies the chief
benefit of such a bureau.
Though normally four or Ave officers
seem to suffice, at rush times the total
exceeds thirty.
Harry Blades, chief of that bureau in
a famous New York department store,
when seen the other day by an Econo
mist man, talked interestingly of his
department and the way it was run.
"We have now," said he, "about 30
detectives on our roll, of whom four
are women. Our regular force doesn't
exceed four or Ave, but is reinforced
for the holidays from a waiting list—
all tried and true men.
"No, we don't recruit from police
headquarters, or, rarely ever. We are
after people with the detective in
stinct, hail whence they may.
"One of the best detectives was once
a salesgirl at the fancy goods counter.
She gave our sleuths so many excel
lent clues as to suspicious shoppers—
clues that were successfully followed—
that we persuaded her to join our staff.
And we made no error. She has more
than fulfilled our expectations. You
see she had it in her. and needed no
Mulberry street training to bring it
out.
"As a rule, however, women are not
so good at ferreting out crime as men.
They are also timid, fearing violence if
necessary to arrest. But where the
clue is given a woman can shadow a
suspect better than a man, seeing that
she can worm in and out, and is less
conspicuous in doing so. A man looks
out of place at a bargain counter.
"One of our greatest troubles with
new detectives," continued Mr. Blades,
"is overzealousness. They imagine that
they are not making a showing—not
earning their salary—unless constant
ly dragging offenders up to the office.
So anxious are they to show results
that they are apt to overdo.
"They probably look at it this way:
'I am only here for the holiday season,
unless I can show special aptitude, to
prove which I must succeed in making
a big trapping.'
"On this account I give my new men
positive instructions never to make an
arrest without calling one of my old
staff for consultation. As to the best
policy to be pursued when a woman is
caught opinions differ. The method we
pursue is this:
"Whenever a professional shoplifter
is caught red-handed wo invariably
prosecute in order to deter others,
utherwise we use discretion.
"Some of the cases of shoplift
ing which have come to my notice dur
ing a life-long connection with storo
tective bureau. Many of our new
plieable. To this very office have been
brought wives of prominent merchants,
Yvall street brokers and men of like
standing in the community—women
who have been caught in the very act
of secreting goods on their persons.
"On investigation these women al
most invariably proved to be victims
of the morphine or laudanum habit,
the drug rendering them almost irre
sponsible. Now, what should we gain
in exposing such a case, thereby ruin
ing a reputation for all time?
"Nor do we expose cases of theft by
really indigent people, when we are
assured they are not 'professionals.'
No good end can be served by such ex
posure. Moreover, it would be a bad
ad. for the house, for such cases would
receive extended newspaper comment,
to the detriment of the firm exposing
the culprits.
"Lack of harmony, continued Mr.
Blades, "is another point to be guard
ed against in the management of a de
tective bureau. Many of our new
men are inclined to throw the bluff
that tney are the whole thing. They
did it all. I discourage mat sort of
thing.
"If any good piece of work is done
In the store in that direction, the de
tective bureau receives credit therefor,
not an individual officer. All must work
In harmony. I instruct them to be re
ceptive to hints from any and all
Bourcos. And even if they find certain
clues unreliable, not to discourage the
offering of them. Though wrong once,
they might be right again.
"Professional jealousy is also to bo
guarded against. What any one of
us may have learned about a certain
case the rest are entitled to know. In
formation so obtained is not for any
individual's benefit, but for that of the
bureau. Hence there is nothing to be
gained in an attempt to 'hog' glory.
"I am sorry to say that the help,
especially at this season of the year,
when there are so many supernumer
aries employed, require most watch
ing.
"We hare representatives behind
counters known as such only by my
self, v.ho, presumably, are salespeople.
Suppose we suspect somebody at a cer
tain counter. I put there a girl of my
own who lias not only to keep her eye
open for my benefit, but hold up her
end of the sales in order to escape
transter. If anyuiing wrong is going
on she will find it out.
"Sometimes these special sleuths are
in the delivery department, even on
wagons as helpers.
"From one of the latter is this let
ter," picking up one from the table
before him. "In it my representative
makes a report of his four days' ex
perience on a certain wagon. Nothing
was found amiss, as far as honesty
was concerned, but a beneficial and un
expected result was reached.
"The detective voiced the hardships
and grievances to which these over
worked drivers and helpers are sub
jected in away that brought about re
form. Those same complaints, if made
to the head of the delivery department,
would, in ail probability, have been
pigeon-holed, seeing that the rectifying
of them would tend to increase the ex
penses of that department—a change
which the manager thereof would nat
urally desire to obviate.
"We also have an outside man for
secret service work. He never comes
into the store, but makes his report by
letter. Such a sleuth is essential to
all employers of labor of this charac
ter. It might be reported to us that
an employe in a responsible position,
but drawing a moderate salary, was
living as a high roller. This outside
man would be detailed to get all in
formation. Such an officer, in fact, is
useful in hunureds of ways, and no
largo store should be without one.
"But the greatest benefit of a thor
oughly equipped detective bureau, from
a department store standpoint, is that
it acts as a deterrent to the 'profes
sionals.' In my time, for instance, I
have had to do with over 2000 cases
of shoplifting. It follows, therefore,
that my presence in a particular store
keeps away at least those 2000 offend
ers, and probably as many more of
their friends."
WORLD'S LARCEST SCHOONER.
Unique Five-ATnntf-fl Vnsel Being Con-
Htrrcrtd In Maine.
The eyes of the shipping community
of this country are at present centred
with the deepest kind of interest upon
the huge five-masted schooner now
in process of construction at Camden,
Me., for Capt. John G. Crowley, for
service in the coal trade between Phil
adelphia and New England ports.
This craft, whose frames are now
up, is distinguished by reason of the
fact that she is the largest fore and
aft sailing vessel the world has evei
produced, and when completed she is
calculated to have cost about $90,000,
and will spread 10,000 yards of can
vas, carrying a cargo of 4000 tons of
coal on 23 feet draught of water.
In this huge undertaking a number
of prominent Philadelphians have in
vested, among them being Henry W.
Cramp, S. P. Blackburn & Co.. and
Samuel J. Goucher, and while the
craft, which has not yet had her name
determined upon, will hail from Taun
ton, Mass., a large percentage of her
stock will bo held here.
Tills vessel, unlike any other sailing
craft afloat, will be lighted throughout
by electricity and heated by steam.
Her sails and gear, excepting the
steering will be worked by steam, and
despite the condition of freights, she
is looked upon to declare large divi
dends to her owners. Capt. Crowley
and his brother Arthur, who now man
age and sail the schooners Mount
Hope, Sagamore and Henry W. Cramp,
now trading between here and New
England ports, arc tho first to siiow
the ability of vessels when properly
run to declare dividends in these hard
times.
The enormous craft which will. In
a measure, revolutionize coastwise
business, is being built by H. M.
Bean of Camden, Me., and will be
launched early in November. She is
282 feet long on keel, 44 feet breadth
of beam and 21 1-2 feet deep of hold.
Her poop deck will extend 20 feet for
ward of the main rigging. The length
over all will be 31S feet. The keelson
is eight feet high and the sister keel
son four and a half feet.
The new craft is to have five Ore
gon pine masts, each 112 feet long and
29 inches in diameter. The fore top
mast is to he 56 feet long and 20 inches
in diameter, and the other four top
masts are each to bo 56 feet long and
IS Inches in diameter. The jib boom
is to be 75 feet long and 20 inches in
diameter. The bowsprit has 30 feet
outboard and is 30 inches square. The
fore, main, mizzen and spanker booms
are to be 48 feet long and 14 inches in
diameter, while the jigger boom is to
he 78 feet long and 17 inches in diam
eter.
The vessel will have two 6000-pound
anchors, with 190 fathoms of two and
three-eighth inch chains. Patent
engines, windlasses and screw-steering
gear will be fitted. John J. Wardell
designed the vessel, and, in addition
te being a large carrier, she is built
with a design to great speed.
The vast changes that have taken
place in shipbuilding in the last 15
years are made very apparent by the
construction of this huge craft, when
it is known that even a schooner to
carry 1000 tons of coal was a thing al
most unheard of. With the exception
of the schooner Governor Amos, this
craft will be the only live-masted
schooner afloat. —Philadelphia Press.

UNCLE SAM'S CHIEF POISONER.
Not Generally Known That Tihs Gov
ernment Maintains One.
In a little house in South Washing
ton is located a Federal institution
without which the Smithsonian Insti
tution and National museum could not
exist. It is the department of the
chief poisoner, Mr. Joseph Farmer.
The office of chief poisoner was not
unusual in countries ruled by despots,
but it may be a surprise to many to
learn that such an office is maintained
by our republican form of administra
tion. However, Mr. Farmer, unlike
his cotemporaries in Turkey, Spain,
Arabia, etc., is not engaged in putting
obnoxious and exuberant statesmen
out of the way, but in placing the ob
jects on exhibit in the institution and
museum beyond the reach o? thieves,
rust and cockroaches. Everything
that is received by these institutions,
whether it is a rare book, a Philip
pine bolo, or a stuffed and mounted
animal, is sent to Mr. Farmer to be
poisoned. He is an expert in the
preparation and use of preservative
compounds. For stuffed animals and
birds he finds that arsenical com
pounds bring the best results. Every
object of metal receives a coating of
something that prevents rust, while
fabrics, basketry, silks, furs, etc., are
poisoned in much the same manner as
stuffed animals. Even the shelves
and case 3 of the Museum, in which the
objects are placed, have passed
through Mr. Farmer's hands and have
been treated to a fluid that causes a
bug, moth or cockroach to think that
he is walking over a red hot iron the
minute he strikes their surface. By
these means the museum is forever
freed from vermin.
