This is the way for home use; 5,000 to 10,000 bushels can be burnt.in a h'eap of this kind.

T'ry Method Here 'liescribe(l and See How Easy It Is te Avoid Und’ : pl_eas'ant Be&hlt:s. Frequently skunks will take up their abode about the farm buildings where for various good reasons they are not welcome guests. It-s often a puzzling question how to get rid of them without a very unpleasant experience. A writer in Bee Gleanings givés the follawing information relative to trapping them: Fasten the trap chain to the.end of a fen-foot pole or board, heavy enough so “hey cannot drag it away. Then, instead of putting them in a/nail keg (in which case you would have about 99 failures out of every 100 skunks, or shooting them, in which case, if you try it, you would think there were at least 200 failwres out of every 100 trapped), approach the rear end of the pole or board cautiously, and fasten a rope to it five or six feet in length. -Then start off slowly, ‘dragging skunk and all after you. You can drag them any &istance you see fit, and there will be no odor. Then you can dispatch them intany manner you wish. But, kill thenil as you will (unless you take hold of the pole and dip them in water deep eno’pgh to ‘submerge them), there will be pdor. The object of this method is to get the oder, if any, a safe distarce from ttje house or bee yard. Try this, and see how easy and sure it is.

: ‘New Oat for the West. : In the general exhibit of the Nebraska .experiment station at the recent international exposition, we noticed a sheaf -0f oats to which was attached the name Kherson and a placard stating that in Nebraska it<had yielded ten bushels per acre more than any other variety. A letter to Director E.;A. Burnett brought forth the following statement concerning this new oat: This is'a variety of oats that was imported by this station’ from Russia about five years ago, and as it came from the province of Kherson we gave it that name. It has shown itself to be a very valuable variety of ocats “for this state, particularly in the central -and western part. I'do not know that it would have any special value in Illinois or llowa. We have distributed it in this state during the last three years and there is now a considerable supply of it. —Prairie Farmer. | o e e a 4 i Good and B:ﬁdi Composts. - Composts. are negessary in the finer processes of gardening, but they should be made in a cleanly manner, and be kept free from contamination. There is nothing better than compounds of clean sods free from weed seeds and manure from grain-or forage-fed animals, mixed in varying proportions, and well worked together as decomposition progresses. It takes about two years to make a firstclass article, but ntxch may be accomplished in one season by frequent turnings. If you start such-a compost do not _degrade it with doubtful organic wastes, keep them separate,burn where possible or bury deeply.

OPEN RANGE FOR HOGS: - Xowadays -"l‘lgin l.;s a Desideratum of Vital liupiwtun@e to Pork Raisers Everywhere, : ; ~ The value of corn for pork production was long since recognized; but, changes in economic condiW@las have increased the price of corn during the past few years and made-it necessary for the farmer to consider what grain crops he can grow or feed as a substitute for a portion of the corn so as to cheapen the cost of production and at the same time improve the quality of the pork, writes John R. Fain, of the Tennessee Experiment station. The cheapness of corn in the past has in one sense been a detriment to the progress of swine husbandry; it has encouraged a too general use of this cereal for the development of the choicest quality of hams and bacon or for the good of breeding animals, When corn was very cheap, it was a common.practice to shut the hogs up in a filthy pen and feed them an unlimited qu'fntit-y without regard to cost. This made fat hogs of what is generally known as the “lard type.” Close confinement and heavy feeding impaired the stamina and vigor of the animals and undoubtedly resulted in undermining the constitution of the brood sow, and this, with the unsanitary quarters, caused the destruction of large numbers of hogs by the dreaded cholera. Hog breeders now realize that.an open range with grass and forage crops is a desideratum of the greatest importance to them. Under such conditions a superior quality of pork is obtained with o better admixture of fat and lean.. Ascan be easily understood from. these facts and many®others which might be adduced, conditions with regard to swine teeding have materially changed. Hence it becomes necessary to determine what grains may be substituted to advantage for a part of the corn formerly. fed and to utilize fully such by-products of the farm as slops and skim-milk, which were frequently allowed to go to waste, and which are now known to have a high teeding value. e i

LIVE STOCK FARMING. Men Who Stuck to Feeding and Did Not Sell Their Corn Made the J Most Money. : Regarding the value of live stdck farming, as compared with the growing and selling of grain, Prof. L. H. Pammel, of the lowa agricultural college, says:’ “It has been demonstrated both by experience and practice that the farmer who sells beef, pork and mutton that he has produced from the corn and grass raised and fed on the farm makes more money per acre of his land and per dollarof his capital than the one who grows only wheat or corn or cotton and ‘sells it. ! *“lt is not necessary to entirely discontinue raising these crops, but if we are to produce a surplus to be sold in foreign markets it is best to export that surplus in the most condensed and marketable form, as meat and animal products, rather than in the original crude and bulky state. 1 : , In the long run the farmer ‘will make ‘the most money who devotes his fields to the growing of forage crops to feed stock, making use of all the raw products at home, thereby saving not only much of the cost of transportation, but maintaining the fertifity of the soil. By doing so, corn 'belt farmers will - maintain their. preeminence in agricultural lines. e - ‘ ‘Q.f‘Experience of the past few months has shown that the men who stuck to feeding and were not tempted by high prices to sell their eccrn have made the most money. Anything that will enhance the productive.eapacity of our soils for the producticn of forage conditions will help the farmer.”

A sahdy, dry soil is best for poultry, as suc¢h soils, if very porous, will be cleansed by therains carrying down the filth-into the soil, and because there is less mud and dampness in ‘winter, says P. H. Jacobs: Nearly all of the large duck farms are on sandy ‘soil, and- as the use of such soil for the raising of poultiry is profitable, there should be an opportunity for those who - have farms composed of light soil that cannot be made to pay otherwise to devote ‘them to poylfry, especially if near markets that can be conveniently reached. . Starting Steers on Grain. In starting steers on feed there are several methods in vogue. Some feeders give a heavy grain ration right from the start, using ‘a pound of meal for every 100 pounds of live weight daily. Other men start the steers on a third of a pound to every 100, increasing gradually until two-thirds of a pound is reached. The latter plan usually gives the cheapest grains, and a half cent gained on every pound meansa considerable profit for a big bunch of steers.— Midland Farmer. - . .

‘EVICTED IRISH TENANTS. Many Rexiding in the United States : Will Try to Recover Their : Old Farms. Perhaps the most noveil feature of the Irish question which has ever presented itself to the people of America is the movement now on foot in various parts of the United States among the people who were evicted from their former homes in Ireland in the course of the land struggle of the last twenty-five years, to get back their former places and return to the old country to live, says the Boston Globe. The passage of the new Irish land act has proved that there are hundreds of such people scattered all over America, most of whom are anxious to secure reinstatement in their old homes. Some desire it as a matter of poetic.justiceand for the satisfaction they would feel at returning to th@g, homes from which they were driven ruthlessly forth by Irish landlordism. 5 Others believe that under the altered condition of affairs life in the old country would be more pleasant for then’; than that which they have been experi: encing here. Others still think they are entitled to some compensation for the loss of .their property in Ireland, and reinstatements to their farms being the only means of securing it, they are desirous of trying that method. : The new land act empowers the newly formed land commission to take measures for the reinstatement of people thus evicted where the eviction has taken place since August, 1878, or the beginning of the Land league agitation. This can only be done, however, in cases where the landlord’s property is put up for sale under the act. But the national leaders believe that within a few years the entire land of Ireland will have been thus disposed.of by the landlords. The land commission is authorized by the act to advance to the evicted tenants money for the purchase of their former holdings with the consent of the present occupier, where the land is occupied, and provide compensation for those who now occupy it. Where the land is still on the landlord’s hands the process of reinstatement will be much simpler. In practically every instance where negotiations have been going on for the purchase of their holdings by the Irish farmers since the passage of the act, they have demanded wherever evictions had taken place on their landlord’s property that the evicted tenants must be restored to their former holdings before any purchase is effected. Some of the landlords at the outset held out against this preposition, but as in the case of the Knight of Glin, son-in-law of Lord Dunraven, they later on acceded to the demand of the tenants. .The officials of the United Irish League of America and the officers of its branches all over the country have for several months past been actively en.gaged "in bringing the cases of these evicted tenants to the attention of the organization in Ireland, and since the land bill went into operation on November 1, to the attention of the land commission itself, with the promise of excellent results. . ' The United Irish League in Ireland has taken steps to secure the best legal assistance in behalf of all the evicted tenants as part of the programme of the national organization. Should = the movement toward reinstatement prove a success it will not be the least of the revolutionary steps which have been taken in regard to the Irish Land league and carried on to-day by the United Irish league. . Some 50 cases have already been brought, before the land commission by the officials of the Unfted Irish League of America, and of that number about one-half of those affected are at present residents of Massachusetts, particularly in the vicinity of Boston. : Oldest Tree in Italy. Lightning last summer struck a cypress which is believed to be the oldest tree in Italy.

BULLET-PROOF CLOTH. Material Adopted by the Itanlian Army Is Possessed of Wonderfual Properties, The world is at present intensely interested in this Italian invention, and ‘since the Italian government is negotiating for its use it is of importance that . we see just what the results are, although it is necessary to state that the invention remains a secret, and this notwithstanding attempts to discover its details. Thus, says Cosmos, we shall have to deal with a general description and with the results of experiments. The armor is a sort of felt, the stuff being capable of adaptation to any form whatever; for example, a breast plate with a collar or a sort of coat which completely envelopes the wearer and absolutely guarantees him from gunshot wounds. . The thickness of the protector varies from one-sixteenth to seven-six-teenths of an inch, according to the arm the effects of which it is designed to destroy. Against the armor of sevensixteenths of an inch the regular ordnance revolver with steel-covered ball is powerless, and also the gun of the 1891 model charged with smokeless 4 powder. In the mumerous experiments which have been made—in firing at a distance of several yards—the ball, whether it be-of lead or, steel, when it strikes the protector is arresged and deformed, in some cases rebounding and in others being almost reduced to pulp. Thus there is not only an arrest of the ball, but deformation as well, ané in this deformation the force of the ball is converted. While there should be a high degree of temperature at the point touched by the ball, it seems that the ball alone feels the effects, for the protector does not seem to be burnt in the slightest. i . These results are not limited to ballistic effects, for in the recent experi~ ments it was sought to pierce the armor with a dagger driven with all possible force. Thelpoint of the arm, however, could not penetrate the felt and was bént into a shapeless mass. It is natural to suppose that the force of the ball would be communicated to the® armor, 'and that“this * would be driven violently backward, resulting in a disagreeable shock and one which at times would be dangerous to the wearer. To demonstrate the incorrectness of this view Sig. Benedetti attached his protector to a horse and fired upon the animal only six feet away with an ordnance revolver, the ball falling at the feet of the horse, while he, freed from ihis halter, walked away as if nothing /had happened. It is to be noted that [with the same revolver a piece of steel had been previously pierced. The same experiment was made with a chicken covered with a breastpiece of the felt, the cock, after being rid of his new shell, quietly pursuing the even tenor of his way. ; . Fireproof City. ke From the character of the buildings fires cannot well occur in Turin.

Such being the record, insurance rates are almost nothing. ; 2 Revert to Ancient Method. The removal of mine water by hoisting in tanks, instead of pumping, while somewhat of a reversion to the methods of the ancients, has come very rapidly into favor-in the anthracite region of Pennsylvania during the last few years, in fact, so much so that at the present time there are at least eight large collieries at which all the water., is hoisted, and six more plants.in preparation. = A Sultan’s Wives. : The wives of the young sultan of Morocco are of every shade of skin, from the white Circassian to the Venus of the Niger.
