HINTS FOR A BEGINNER IN KEEPING THESE FEATHERED PETS. Thera are Almost Endless Varieties—Try Fantails or Ja•3obins—The Proper Ar- rangement of the Pigeon Loft—Experie ence Is a Good Teacher. To find the origin of pigeon breeding one would have to go far back into past ages. ' Variety after variety has been produced. Varieties have been made to take on many peculiarities of form and color. Doctors, lawyers, preachers, statesmen and men in all other profes- sions and walks in life, have been most eager admirers and breeders of these feathered beauties. The interest bestow- ed upon the pigeon fancy has been very great. Fabulous sums have been ex- pended for single specimens of a particu- lar variety, and years have been spent in mating and breeding these birds to secure a coveted characteristic. The greatness of this work and the success which has attended it can be well understood if one makes a visit to a pigeon exhibition and notes the almost infinite number of varieties that now exist, and the very great diversity among them in color and rorm. The beginner in pigeon keeping should visit one of the many poultry exhibi- tions. Here will be seen the tall and stately Pouter, with his enormous protu- berance of breast, making a balloon of himself with his curious power of inflat- ing the air sacs near the lungs. A most interesting bird is the Pouter, but hardly suitable for a beginner's loft. Here also will be seen the dainty Turbite, the Owls, the Tumblers and a host of others, but to filY Mind the most 'satisfactory stock for a beginner to put in his newly -made pigeon loft would be either the Fantails or the Jacobins. These are among the easiest to raise and possess, withal, so many points of beauty and of interest that one would not go astray were he to Has on hand a large number of Boots and Shoes of his own make, best material and Warranted to give Satisfaction. you want your feet kept dry come and get a pair o. our boots, which will be sold CHEAP FOR CASH.

SMITH & CO., FIG. 1. PIGEON LOFT WITH LOW, WIDE WINDOW. 'choose either, or both, varieties, for two different classes of pigeons can be kept in the same loft without any Mixing of the varieties, but more satisfactory re- sults will be ebtained if only one variety is chosen, at least in the beginning. The Fans are so called because of the enormous spread of their tails which look for all the world like the tails of tur- key cocks when in the midst of their most pompous strutting. No more at- tractive sight could well be imaginea than a collection of white Fantails wheel- ing through the air and alighting on the green turf, with heads drawn back over their bodies, their tails spread to their fullest extent, and uttering the soft coo- ing notes of which only pigeons are capable. With the Fans, as with almost all other varieties, there are numerous subdivisions differing in color alone, but the white and yellow colors are moat commonly to be seen. When, however, one leaves the white color he can hardly expect his birds to have perfect uniform- ity of plumage, as some will be of a lighter shade than others, or some other point of color difference may be pre- sented. The white Fans, therefore, tee- ing so beautiful in themselyes, and breeding so true to color, are to my mind preferable as a choice for a beginner. The Jacobins have an even more curious characteristic as to feathering than the Fantails, The feathers of the neck are long, and part in a more or less distinct line around the throat, one part turning upward and forming a distinct ruff around the head, which nearly con - ,:teals it. The other part lies down smoothly over the shoulders. Many buildings have unoccupied roof cham- bers. One end of these can be parti- tioned off and a very desirable pigeon loft thus obtained. A window must be placed in front, and, outside, a landing - board for the pigeons to alight upon. If a simple window is used it should be low and wide (Fig. 1), and be placed very E3.A.INT 3KM RS.

In the hurry of his work the driver of the team is often inclined to a fractious handling of his horse , with a'resulting use of the whip and harsh Words and tones that fret anti often greatly excite the nervous system of mares in milk, the nervous system being particularly sensitive, at this titne, to disturbing causes. It is very well known to intelligent dairymen that harshness, in the treatment of cows, is at once fol- lowed by a decrease in the 4uantity both of milk and butter, and that, tou, where the harshness is not ace,ompanied by blows. VV-liatanay be thought then of the effect upon the milk -producing organs of the mare of the use of the lash, the brutal jerking upon the horse's mouth with the reins, and the rough lan- guage thatone too often -notices in the driving of horses? Humanityand a love for dumb animals ought to insure kind treatment of all the animals upon the farm, but if that idea does not carry sufficient weight with some, self-interest ought to come in and show that unkindness means a positive loss in dollars and cents. It is often, however, not a question of real brutality on the part of unkind drivers of horses. The drivers are themeelveaperhaps tired and fretted, and thoughtlessly and im- pulsively a blow of the lash is given, or the harsh commands uttered that would not be given or uttered wider other cir- cumstances. In such cases the driver must keep a check upon himself as well as upon his horse. Mares in milk are more susceptible to changes of temperature or to sudden chills from drinking freely of very cold water when heated. In all ways brood mares must be treated With extra care and kindness, if their own future useful- ness is to be conserved, and the thrifty growth of the foal assured. They should be given a nourishing supply of food that will provide abundant sustenance for the dam, and an ample supply of milk for the colt. Good pasturage and a liberal ration in which bran or ground oats pre- dominate will be found to yield most satisfactory results. MIME 2—PIGEON LOFT WITH ARCH= WINDOW. near' the floor, no that the birds rnay readily get the sunshine, as they hunt for grain in the litter- ed straw upon the floor, without going out into the cold air of winter days. An arched window (Fig. 2) is partioularly attractive in these roof chambers when one's Iresources permit the extra expense necsssary. to secure one, but the rectangular shape will give Just as good results. If the roof slopes down to the very floor, a low partition s should be put in on either side. Pigeons always remain in pairs and remain so mated, as each pair must be provided its own roosting perch and nesting bowl of earthenware. It is convenient also to haw* a row of cages made of slats in which to shut up a pair, or in which to place the male bird, if he shows signs of a tyrannical abuse of his position, as head of the family, as he sometimes does during the brooding season.

I use 1 lb. of poison per barrel of water, spraying two rows as fast as the horse can walk. it will save its cost in one day. Money in ClOver. have obtained excellent results from a special three-year rotation of wheat, clover and potatoes. I get from two to four tons per acre of clover hay at the first cutting, thus receiving with each crop from $12 to $30 worth of fertilizer per acre. It is also said that the roots are worth the tops; they probably amount to as much as three tons. We thus have over $60 worth of fertilizer from clover.hay per acre for a single season. It is ample in Most cases to let the clover go back to the soil once in three years. It may also be incidentally remarked that he who sells potatoes is essentially water, but it is not so in selling timothy. With the latter crop from $16 to $20 worth per acre may be sold, but it takes with it '$10 worth of fertilizer, while in potatoes ti;90 worth may be sold off and but '$12 worth of fertilizer leaves the farm.' A person can- not get six tons of timothy hay in three years, yet he can obtain that much lover, and the after growth amounts to much more with the latter. They may be thus obtained $15 yvorth of top growth (hay) of timothy in comparison with $48 worth frora clover hay, The reason that timothy is so hard upon the soil is that it lraws directly upon it for its growth material, potash, silica, etc., and is a crop of only shallow growth. Clover does not do so. It has the power to send its roots down ep into the subsoil and bring up to the surface a great deal of fertility. It is also said to be the only crop that has the power of using free nitrogen. A Ilandy Weed Killer.

Then cut a V-shaped notch in the end of this, afterward put it on the grindstone until the outer edges are smooth, and the notch is sharp as a knife. A single thrust with such a tool will be more effective than several blows with much harder work where the clumsy shovel, axe or hoe is used. and firm.

"Do you know what you re wearing ?" inquired a gentleman of his foung friend. "That poor bird, had it beei allowed to live, would perhaps have eaved a ship from being wrecked. In the dark,stormy nights, and during thick fogs, the acream of the sea fowl has warned many a captain of the dangerous rooks.'9 The brave old skipper walked the de k, His daughter by his side, As night came down with gloomy fro n Upon the waters wide. And merrily the ship went on Before the wind so free, Btit-the skipper knew that a storm w a nigh By the wash of the surging sea. And the storm came out with a shrie and shout, And the billows hissed and boiled, As along their black and ridgy back The good ship strained and toiled.

"Nay, nay, my child; when the sto is wild, It is better far to be Long leagues away from the shallow s rids— Away from the rocky lee." There was no star in all the aky To guide the lonely bark, And on rhe drove before the storm, So dreadful and so &wk.

If you want the trees to thrive, cultivate well till they are seven or ten years old. Spread ashes, manure or salt broadcast. Stop cultivating in August, weeds or no weeds. This allows the trees to ripen for winter. The skipper grasped his deughtees arm And leaned with list'ning ear— Upon the blast again swept past The scream, so etrange and clear.

There will be people—some of the salt of the earth, too—who' cannot get away for a -journey this summer. No, not even to go to the World's Fair. The outlook is rather a dreary one to those among them who are both tired and sensitive. Many can get apparently no recreation at all, strive as they may. But for those fortunate enough to live in or near the country there is a way whereby they may secure at once health, change and recreation. We suggest to city stay at homes that they try to get into the country for the sum- mer at a place where those who are compel- led to do so may go to and from their daily town work. And to both city and village people who cannot get a vacation we suggest that they try gardening on a small scale. Few persons are so shut in that they cannot find a place where there is ground enough to have a few flower beds. Blooming plants may be put in if the stay at home cannot plant flower tee& early enough. It will be intereeting to those who have never tried it to find out just how beautiful they can make some neglected patch of ground. Rising early in the morning and cultivating the flowers before the serious workday begins will fill the hangs with air, and the fragrant soil will breathe a blessing upon the person who tries to make it grow lovely flowers. The bees will hum aboutthe flowers and thank you for giving them that mech more honey. The landscape will be- come more beautiful for your efforts. The fragrance of blossoms you have made mani- fest will float upon the air, bringing sweet perfume to jaded spirits. And Some days you will have time to lie in the shade and yourself contemplate this joy and beauty you have brought into ex. istence. Size of the Tire. As a means of providing improved road- ways it has been made a law in Massachu- setts that the tires of wagon wheels shall not be less than three inches in width. It has been found that the narrow tires cut deep into the road and woo render it quite unsafe for travel. Other vehicles come along and get into the same rut and cut further down, aggravating the unfavorable conditions already existing. With the wide tire not only is the danger of cutting tip the road reduced to a minimum,Ibut the con- stant passing over of wagon. with wide tires has the effect of a roadway roller of pressing down the material of which the road is composed and making it more solid Pitcher's Castoria• WM.
