A woman whose husband was physician for the California state prison recently had in her kitchen one of the convicts from the prison, a’Chinaman, serving a short sentence for theft, but whose subsequent good behavior had made for him many friends among the government officials. John was a good cook and more than cleanly, so the doctor’s wife hailed him with delight and mourned greatly when the days were busy and John was not allowed beyond the prison walls. John, when in the world, had heard a good deal about the *‘‘Slunday school” life of his fellow celestials and since his-confinement had thought much on the subject. - : The doctor was very proud of John's cooking and one day invited a few friends in for dinner. John was in his element and prepared an elaborate meal. Among the many delicacies for dessert ordered by ‘the doctor’s wife was an angel cake. John’s chief culinary success. Great was the consternation and surprise of the hostess and ‘the amusement of the guests when John bobbed inito the room carrying a huge, snowy, uncut angel cake, bearing across the top in huge red letters the word “Heaven.” John’s dinner was a “howling” success. . ; Bargain Hunting. : It is impossible for all us men to be the gallant prince who is the devoted slave to the lady in the rose-colored fairy story, but we can offer our seat in ghe street car to the tired woman who has been “shopping’ all day in the vain-endeavor to make the $2.25 her husband kindly ‘“‘gave” her clothe a family ef six and make them look as neat and comfortable as the children next door. —L.

We illustrate tumbling 'mustard, known scientifically as Sisymbrium Altissimum. This is one of the plants that have already obtained too great a foothold in this country for us to hope to exterminateit. Tumbling mustard is called so from the fact that when it is ripe it breaks off and is blown along the ground by the wind.

than the Russian thistle. The plant was introduced into this country from Europe previous to 1878, as it was first noticed in -that year in Philadelphia. It is probable that it had been growing in out-of-the-way places for some years before being noticed. Since that time jt has spread over much of the country between the two oceans. It bears numerous seeds, the seed pods containing frequently 100 seeds each. As the plants are very numerous on each plant, the number of seeds a single plant may bear is almost beyond calculation. Prof. James Fletcher, of Canada, by careful calculation came to the conclusion that one plant with which he came in contact contained not less than 1,500.000 seeds. The pods are round and long and stand out almost at right angles to the stem on which they are borne. :

The means of eradication is to plow under or cut down with a sharp hoe before the seeds have ripened enough to grow. This must be early, for seeds will sprout and grow while yet very immature. The plant is easily killed when cut off at the roots, while its seeds are yet-unformed. A man can eradicate a large area of it in a single day. Being an annual, it will not grow again from the root.—Farmers’ Review.

GOOD FARM CROPS.

They Are Those Which Save the Fer- : tility of the Seoil and Produce I@'ing‘ Results. . ’

No crop in this section of the country takes the precedence of corn, writes a Nebraska contributor .to Wallace’s Farmer. 1t is so abundant and so useful.- I do not know of any other crop that can be used for so many purposes. 1t makes goad human food and admits of being prepared in so many ways. I don’t know of any other crop that will supply the wants of our domestic amimals so completely as the corn crop. The entire plant fed to cattle or sheep makes an admirable fattening ration, supplying both grain and rough feed of the highest quality, Do not fail to have a good corn crop. Then concentrate it as much as possible into the most marketable products, butter or meat, before it leaves the farm. Next to corn, if not equal tp it, is sorghum, drilled in with the ordinary grain drill et the rate of three pecks to one bushel of seed to the acre. No one will believe the amount of good feed for any kind of stock this will produce until they try it for themselves.. Then comes peas and oats sown taogether. I differ from many in the amount of seed to be sown in this combination. I think mostly too many oats are sown for the peas. 1 prefer one and one-half to two bushels of peas to not more than three pecks of oats per acre. Do not let the ueas become too ripe before - cutting. My crop of peas and oats seeded in the above proportions yielded last season over four tons per acre. ( 3

NOTES FOR SHEPHERDS.

Don’t think of using grade' rams. Pedigreed animals only can be depended on for satisfactory results. - Keep a trough under cover in the sheep yard pastures and init put a mixture of salt and sulphur. This will keep off ticks. | Gie - Dogs do not like too much noise when they are hunting sheep. Put one good rattling bell on every twentieth sheep or one on every ten is better. :

'The day of the biy, heavy-feeding sheep seems to have passed, not to return, and the demand for younger muttons is a steadily growing one. Do not change feed suddenly, especially from dry feed to pasture. There is always a loss of condition for a few days following and sudden change. Keep up the regular feed until the flock have* become accustomed to the grass. —Western Plowman.

Weigh the Chicks Weelkly.

Tt would be an excellent plan to weigh the chicks every week and’observe their increase. Take ten chicks, or even adults, from among the whole number, weigh them every wedk, and keep an account of the exact amount of food consumed, and you will know more regarding the matter of expense, profit and ratio of grain than could be derived in any other manner. Experiments with different kinds of food could also easily be made, and chicks of several breeds could be used for comparison. 1t would take but a small pl:})portion of time, while the knowledge gained would be invaluable.—American Gardening. i

IMPROVING THE BELS.

It Can Be Done Systematically Where Only the Right Kind of Queens : Is Raised. 25

One would naturally suppose that there is but little if any difference in bees, and that one hive of bees was just as good as another. More particularly would this supposition exist when the bees are of the same variety or race. While it is true that certain races of bees, as a whole, are much superior to other races, yet it is also a fact that some colonies of any race are far superior to other colonies. As it is now conceded that the Italian bees are superior to all other races as a whole, it is also a fact that we not only find some colonies of this variety in any apiary, but we can find whole apiaries considerably in advance of others in usefulness. The expert apiarist understands this fully, and kpows it is brought about by- careful breeding. The breeder of fine stock of any kind selects his best specimens to breed from, and therefore improves his herd. Now the apiarist is not behind in the least in this respect, but selects his best stock in breeding and makes as rapid strides in this direction as anvbody.

The principal point in breeding bees centers upon the queen. The apiarist has under his control the breeding of queens and can rear them from any other queen he has in. his apiary, but he cannot control her matings with the male bee, as this is beyond his reason. As it is well known that the queen is the only female bee in the hive, and lays all the eggs that produce each and every bee therein, hence, to change the entire stock of the hive it is only necessary to introduce @ new queen to the colony. Two colonies of bees having the same traits of character, markings, ete., cannot be foun(]; but when all are hatched from eggs of the same queen they will have peculiarities of their own, as a colony, not found in another. For example, some colonies are more industrious and will store more honey than others, even with a less number of bees. Some are cross, and some gentle. Some are robbers and some are good citizens. Some incline to swarm, others do not under the same conditions. Some breed more rapidly and become \'eryjstl'ong in numbers, while others do not attain great strength. Some are good comb honey prodicers, while others are better at filling the extractor. These are but a few of the numerous different. characteristies found in bees, hence the breeds may rapidly develop and attain to a marked degree, in a short time, too. any of these points sought for.—A. . Duff, in Journal of Agriculture. .

COMBINATION HOUSE.

It Is a Poultry House, Pigeon Loft ' and Open Sheds, All Combined Under One Roof.

We copy from Poultry Keeper the novel house here illustrated. It is poultry house, pigeon loft and open sheds, all combined under one roof and designed for two flocks. The building may be of any desired size, but roof boards 16 feet long, spread to allow a width of 20 feet on the ground, makes a well proportioned house. 1f the en-

G g ~—~A Jl, AN T i 4 t]’i‘pl o ~ &l COMBINATION HOUSE. closed portion be made eight feet wide, each shed will have a width of six feet. By making the roof-angel an exact right angle, the spread will be‘about three feet greater and the ground floor considerably increased. In any case, the house should be set on a wall of brick or stone not less than one foot high, and two feet would be better. The sheds should be closed in the rear and lighted by windows. - If well seasoned rabbetted boards be used, the roof will need: no other covering. Doors for entrance to the house are at the sides, just inside the open end of sheds. : The Importance of Variety. When the flock has received no grain but corn the hens soon begin to refuse it. This may be particularly noticed if a small quantity of oats or wheat be thrown before them. They will at once eagerly seize the grains of ocats and wheat, leaving the corn untouched. This indicates that the hens require something else than that which they derive from the corn, such as the phosphates or nitrogen. After feeding oats or wheat awhile the hens will leave those grains and eat largely of corn. 'The proper method, then, is to keep a variety, using corn as a portion of the ration in tvinter, but omitting it in the summer. Among the grains we may mention wheat, corn, oats, barley and buckwheat, the best results being obtained when they are changed from one to the other occasionally.—Farm and Fireside. ;

Secluded Nook for Sitters.

.Don’t set the hens in the hen house. A worse place could not be chosen. They will be constantly disturbed by the layers, eggs will be broken and the setterswill frequently beentirely crowded off the nest. Give the sitter a nest where she can attend to her duties in peace. A barrel laid on its side in some secluded spot out doors makes as good a nest as ‘anything which can be devised. Shovel out a small cavity for the barrel to rest in and use the loose earth for forming a small embankment around it, for'carrying off the surface water. Fill the barrel to a third of its depth with earth, and shape the nest in the center, With a wide board to cover the opening at night, securely held in place b:y stakes, the hen is most comfortably fixed for attending to her duties.—Western ’lowman. Stock Is Fond of Straw, Straw is relished by stock at times, as may be noticed when cattle have access to a straw rack, even when they are well fed. Straw aloneisnotof value as a food to a great extent, but it becomes serviceable when made a portion of the ration. No kind of food is suitable when it is given every day with nothing else. Many foods comsist largely of water, containing but little solid matter, but such foods become more valuable when given as a variety because they promote digestion and prevent waste., P o

PLEASED WITH ALBERTA.

An Excellent Report from Wisconsin . and Minnesota Delegates.

The opinion of five delegates from Minnesota and Wisconsin, published by the Edmonton Bulletin, are very complimentary to Northern Alberta. The report says: : ;

“We must say with all sincerity that, driving all over the country for six days, we have not found one settler who was not more than pleased with -the country and its productions, and will not return to the land he left. We have seen people here from all parts of the states and all doing well. We met a Dakota farmer by the name of MecLean, who has informed us that he has raised more grain here in three years than he did in 13 where he came from, on half as much ground. We have seen a number of others, both men and women, and all speak in the same strain about Alberta. They all look well and contented; even the children are happy. Inour drives over the country, in passing the countless schoolhouses, we could only see happiness in the faces of theilittle ones. We noticed them all well dressed, equal if not better than the same class of children in the State of Minnesota. - The wheat that is raised here is just beautiful, the kernel full and plump and may well be termed gclden grain, yielding 30 to 55 bushels to the acre. This statement is not from one farmer, but from hundreds, who tell the same tale. Oats yield from 70 to 100 bushels to the acre, barley from 40 to 50 bushels and potatoes from 300 to 400 bushels to the acre. :

We have taken particular notice of the climate in regard to the diflerence between this country and our own. When we left Ada, Minnesota, we were in the midst of a real Dakota blizzard. When wearrived at Edmonton we found the“people on the streets still wearing summer clothing, no mittens on their hands and far less use for them. The country is simply more than we ever dreamed of. The 'printed matter sent out by the Government does not half tell of the grand country in Alberta, open for millions of people to make beautiful homes for themselves. Too much cannot be said in praise. Itisall and more than the greatest eulogist ever thought of giving to the public.

We saw cattle and horses in herds grazing on the prairie like in summer time, all sleek and fat. We were informed by several farmers that most of the stock run out all winter. We also found the market extra good here for beef and pork. Hogs fetch 414 c live weight. ° Three-year-old steers will bring from $4O to $45 right from the prairie. Coal and wood are here in abundance. Coal is sold in the town of Ildmonton for $2 per ton and farmers can secure coal at the mines themselves for 75c¢ per load. ' . Before closing we say to you one and all, come to’ Alberta, where there are homes for millions and a promise for something to lay by for an old age. We are well satisfied with this country, and as evidence have each bought a half section of C. P. R. land in township 535, range 21, west of ‘the 4th initial meridian, and will return next spring to reside. | ‘

Hoping this may be of some benefit to the overburdened farmers of the United States. :

I left the farm when mother died, and changed my place of dwellin’ To daughter Susie’s stylish house, right in the city street, And there was them, before I came, that sort of scared me tellin” How I would find the town-folks’ ways so difficult to meet. They said I'd have no comfort in the rustlin’ fixed-up throng, : And I'd have to wear stiff collars every weekday right along. ’

I find I take to city ways just like a duck ' to water, I like the racket and the noise, and never tire of shows; And there’s no end of comfort in the mansion of my daughter, And everything is right at hand, and money freely fiows; And hired help is all about; just listenin’ for my call, But I miss the yellow almanac off my kitchen wall.

The house is full of calendars from attic to the cellar; Cop ' They’re painted ‘in all colors, and are fancy-like to see. But just in this particular I'm not a modern feller, And the yellow-covered almanac is good ‘enough for me; I'm used to it, I’vé seen it round from boyhood to old age, . : And I rather like the jokin’ at the bottom ; of each page.!' B !

I like the way the ‘S’ stood out to show the week’s beginnin’ (In these newtfangled calendars the days seemed sort of mixed), And the man upon the cover, though he wasn’t exactly winnin’ ¢ ‘ With lungs and liver all exposed, still showing how we are fixed: ‘And the letters, credentials that was writ to Mr. Ayer, I’ve often, on a rainy day, found readin’ very fair. .~

I tried to find one recently; there wa’'n’t one in the city. They toted out great calendars in every sort of style; : I looked at ’em in cold disdain, and answered ’em in pity: %

Suggestions for Spring Cleaning., Much of the labor of house cleaning may be avoided by the exercise of good judgment and management. Pleasant wcather must be selected for the work, usually the first of May is the best time to begin. Every thing should be in readiness beforzhand.
