another fireman to• try to nersuathe

some of them would not corisent to

were mad with fear anti excitement;
and as the jailing passion is strong
in death, so it would seem to be by
no means weak in the midst of dan-

their whole energies to the saving of

One stout old gentleman, in parti-

great danger of the onlookers, at

But Frank spoke to deaf ears; so
he coolly lifted the man in his arms,

he said to afr. Braidwood.
"Of course it will," remarked the
latter in a. quiet voice. "Caine here,
my men," he added, taking the
shopkeeper apart froxn the crowd,
and questioniog him closely.
Immediately after, he ordered the
engines to play on a particular part
of the building.
Just then, Frank came up to the
superintendent.

"No, _Winders; ye coulnn't find it

FOR FARMERS
.SeaaOriable and Profitable
tilots for the Busy Tillers sel the Soil.
=Er PLOWING,.
There is a bad practice too often
found in farm management—that of
too shallow plowing. The question
whether deep or shallow plowing
should be practiced, will depend,
hugely upon the condition of the
soils and location of fields. This
may be said to hold true in reference
to methods of cultivation.
• Percolation of ram water through
the soil .not ouler improves the phye
sical condition of the soil, but con-
serves plaut food. Many soils have
a herd pan that readers percolation
difficult. In such cases we have al-
ways found it advisable to follow
comparatively shallow plowing in
the spring and deep ,plowing in mid-
summer and fall, thus preventing
largely the formation of a hard pan.
Where soils aro exceedin - 1 or -
ous, deep plowing works an injury
unless the soil is made compact be-
fore it has time to lose its moisture
by evaporation. Where such soils
are plowed deep they should be roll-
ed at once and then followed with a
harrow so as to give a loose SOD.
mulch, Where heavy clay soils are
plowed deep and followed by a dry
period, much moisture is lost that
can be conserved by placing a loose
earth muleli 011 tIle surlace,
Too many times clay, sandy, wet
and dry lands are plowed exactly
alike. Hare is where thoughtless -
nese is seen and judgment is left
out.
In light and sandy soils we find
that they are 'unable to hold much
moisture for the use of the growing
pleats, but by making the sub -soil
compact and covering the surface
with a fine mulch, the capacity for
holding raoisture is greatly increas-
ed, This should be borne in raind
In practicing deep and shallow
plowing.
The salient points in favor of
deep plowing are, that moisture is
more easily retained; the roots of
plants are given an opportunity to
go deeper and farther in search of
food, thereby giving greater strength
to the plants- drainage is assisted.
where commercial fertilizers are em-
ployed, a breaking up of the soil
to a good depth assists in retaining
and uti Ming these plant foods, and
lastly the fertility of the sub -soil is
brought within reach of the plants.
On many of our farms in this
country many poor crops can be
traced directly- ,,to shallow plowing.
The basis of success of the farm,
rests largely upon the methods fol-
lowed in plowing, and too much
care cannot be taken in plowing
right, usiag the best styles of plows
suited to local conditions. Much
of the permanency of productive
acres depends upon this first appli-
cation of agriculture, viz., plowing,
which with modern macbinery, makes
it possible to do it right at all ,
times.

Dairymen of too pronounced in-
stincts of thriftnesswill sometimes
feed spoiled fodder from the bottom
of the hay or the edges of the silo,
and moldy grain from the bin simply
because their animals will eat when
very bungrei, but such practiee is al-
ways at the exsiense of the health of
the animals and the quality of their
products.
The successful dahymen are be-
coming more and more the ones who
make perfection of quality their

era who are willing to allow them
a fair margin of profit,
VALUE OF SIDE LINES.
Where diversified farming is car-
ried on it pays in most cases to
have one main line of' produce, but
it also pays to combine with it a
number of side lines that will give
the farmer something to sell the
year around.
These side lines are easily devel-
oped from the orchard, garden, poul-
try yard and dairy. The itunily is
furnished an aboadance of wholesome
food for the table and this is no
gsnrinocielaiin reducing the monthly
rybilis.
The side line arrangement should
be made gradual and allowed to
grow and develop. Avoid extremes
end determine between what con-
stitutes a main line and side line of
production on the farm. We recall a
number of instances where a side line
has been started and proved so pro-
fitable that it became the main pro-
duct of the farm mon, on the other
hand, we have known of instances
where enthusiasm has developed a
side line too far, at a loss in profits.
it is best, however, to exercise judg-
ment in this matter, hut above all
keep some side lines going that
will help in making not only more
profits on the farm but also in-.
crease the home production of whole -1
some foods. _
GETTING ALL THE MILK.
The new Danish method of strip-
ping cows has been attracting con-
siderable attention, and was tested
•
sta-
tion."ss at tho .It follows by the ordinary
course of milking as based on tbe
action of calves when sucking, and
is briefly as follows : "After the
cow has been milked, the bag and
adjacent parts of the body are first
of all well rubbed with a coarse
cloth, with a view to stimulating
the flow of milk by friction. The
quarters of the udder' are then suc-
cessively manipulated with the hands
by being lifted upwards against the
body, and pressed against one an-
other ,tvith some force. They are
further massaged with the fingers
and thumb, at the same time being.
pushed in an upward direction, so
as to imitate the pushing or bob-
bing action of calves. As a result
of these several manipulations some
milk is collected in the milk cistern;
which le drawn off from time to
time by pulling the teats. The
method requires some skill, and oc-
cupies considerable time and trouble,

its introduction into large herds.
The stripping is said to be done
much mere thorougbly than when
the ordinary plan is fo:lowed, more
milk being obtained, and that of a
slightly richer quality owing to the
increased proportion of the exceed-
ingly rich strippings obtained at the
end of each milking.

"A man, sir."

"Yes, sir; chickens and ostriches,"
"That's right. Now, what is a
quadruped 2"
"A creature with four legs."

me if there are any feathered quade

"No—el—ob, yes, sir. I've just
thought of one."
"Have you? What is it ?"

the steerage passengers, and -as the

Tho es, too, are of the finest
quality and cost a pretty sum. 1
don't suppose enywhere, no even in
the most famous English, Continen-
tal, and American hotels, would you
find more valuable linen. The ser-
viettes alone, whieh are made ia the
most celebrated French and English
looms, cost as much as $0 Apiece, so
you may be sure the company does
not like to Mee many, though -he
number that disappear during' a
voyage is astonishing. I reckon the
serviettes are the most costly arti-
cles in a ship's laundry -chest and„

pretty keenly. When the -table ste-
wards come for .their day's supplies
they have to sign for the number
they receive, which has the effect
of making them rather more careful'.
'IT IS A CURIOUS FACT
that, among the first-class passen-
gers especially, the habit of 'annex-
ing a serviette, as a souvenir I sup -
pope, is extraordinarily CornanOn,
table stewards have told me that
they ahnost invariably see ladies an

slipping serviettes into their pockets,
and when their attention has bee
delicately drawn to their fits of ab
stractxon they have smiled pleasaa
ly, anti explained that they wo

their own property they were put-
ting away. The stewards are not.

these losses and neither are -the pas-
sengers, the lost articles being
charged to the general profit and
loss account of the ship.
We have two rooms in Which we
keep the linen, one for the soiled ar-
ticles and one for the clean. Of
course, as the voyage becomes full.
The table and bedroom stewards
visit my department, every 'morning
between the hours of ten and twelve,
when they bring the soiled a

canvas bags. They then recoWk a
fresh supply, which is also theca en
and for which I now insist on re-
ceiving a receipt.
As socin as all the day's retinas
have been received the linen is car-
ried to the drying -room, whic.h is
heated by steam, and the towels,
serviettes, sheets, etc., are spread
out.. and thoroughly dried. After
that the articles are once more
counted • - and - placed' in bundles of
5C10 pieces in the bags again and
stored, away until we reacts port,
when they are handed over to the
laundry -men, who are usually wait-
ing on the dock to receive tbem.

He writes : "He !told me that they
