m: rvThe distribution now in progress consists of some of the most promising sorts of oats, barley, spring wheat, pease, field corn and potatoes. Already more than 7,000 applications have been tilled. Ail farmers desiring to participate in this distribution should send in their applications early, and state which of the above named sam- ples they would prefer, and their wish- es will be met as far as practicablv, until the available stock is exhaust-ed. The grain can be sent early, but the pocatoes will not be, distributed until the danger of being injured in tmnsit by frost is over. Letters addressed to the Central Experimental Farm may be sent free of postage. W )1. SAL‘XDERs Director Experimental Farms. Ottawa, March 11th. 1895. What It Costs. The Atlanta Constitution, one of the leading United S atesjoumals, has been figuring up the national drink bill of that country and seems stagger- ed at the result. The official "0v ern- meat reports show that 88,777,187 gallons of distilled spirits were manu factured during the year. It estimates that 37, 000,000 gallons were purchased across bar counters, and that on an averaoe, there was 63 drinks to the gallon, or 6,090,000,000 111 all, costinu $609, 000,000, or $5, 000, 000 more tha. 1 31! the annual appropriations of Con- .â€" Distribution of Samples of Grain from the Experimertal Farm at Ottawa.

Big Money In Small Business by Eco- nomical Italians. Few of the thoughtless passersby and chance patrons of the corner fruit stands on the city streets realize the compara- tively large profits reaped by those who have their capital invested in this ap- parently insignificant business. To the average onlooker as he casts a careless glance at the vendor of fruit and candy probably the only thought that occurs is that here is a poor unfortunate for- eigner cast on our shores, who manages by this simple means to eke out a liv- ing for himself and a large family of small children. Indeed a closer inspec- tion into the comfortless lives of these seekers for gain, involving long hours spent in continued application to work, tile short remaining, time passed in squalid homes or on the streets, would reveal little of the true state of affairs. There is avast diflerence in the indi- cations from outward appearances. Some of them carry an air of prosperity in neatness of dress and carelessness of air. Others seem to wish to advertise their poverty by a show of tattered gar- ments and generally destitute appear- ance. But in general these appearances are deceitful. The man in rags may or- dinarily be regarded as more fortunate than his apparently prosperous brother. He is making more because it is not so much what is made in profits aswhat is saved, and in a small business. like that of the corner fruit dealers, this general principle is especially true. The amount of the gains possible to the astute dealers is seen from afew ex- amples of unusual prosperity. A short time ago an Italian who had been in the business on a down town corner for ten years closed out his business to a successor, receiving from him 82, 200 for the privilege of his location. This amount he added to a fortune c; 60, - 000 already accumulated. In the was region a similar salewas mafia in enumeration of $250.

The late Sherlock Holmes had a fa- vorite dictum: “Eliminate the impos- sible, and what is left, however im- probable, must be the truth.” This was not at all in accordance with the saying of Victor Hugo: “Nothing is so immi~ nent as the impossible. What must be always foreseen is the unforeseen. ” Most of us will agree, from experience, with Hugo rather than with Holmes. The impossible does happen. When “Mercy Philbrick’s Choice” was pub- lished in the “No Name” series, the critics were agreed that it seemed to be written by Helen Hunt Jackson. But, as those who knew her love for flowers Sense of Taste In Insects. The entomologists have detected and duly noted a singular development of the sense of taste in insects of the but- terfly family. The larvae of butterflies and moths all eat foods which are not adapted to the wants and tastes of the perfect insect, and which, in some in- stances, is positively obnoxious to the fully developed creature. Take, for an instance, the horrid “hog nosed cater- pillar,” which lives on the leaves of the prickly ash and also makes life bur- densome to the orange grower. Its par- ents are Mr. and Mrs. Papilio Cres- phontes of the order Lepidoptera, fam- ily Papilionidae, and are the largest and most beautiful butterflies found in the latitude of Missouri. The full grown insect of this species will not touch the leaves of either of the trees mentioned above. but on them it deposits eggs, and when these hatch the substance of the leaves furnish the proper food for the larvae. Are we to infer from this curiâ€" ous habit that the female butterfly of this species remembers her early exist- ence, and from that argues that prickly ash and orange leaves are the proper food for her young, or are we to say that “instinct" guides her to a proper selection of food for her progeny? Is it not a fact that we attribute things to “instinct” because we are ignorant-â€" that is to say, because we do not know where “instinct” leaves 01f and reason begins?â€"St. Louis Republic. and acquaintance with nature also pointed out, she could not be the au- thor, for there were several glaring mis- takes in the naming and placing of blossoms in the story.

Becoming Popular. “The cause of equal rights in Lexing- ton is evidently becoming popular,” says The Press-Transcript. “Upon the register for those friendly to enfran- chisement of women are the names of many of our most influential people, members of the bar, college professors, physicians, leading business men and scores of names of our prominent wom- en, while a long list of names is also seen of those who approve of women voting for school trustees and making women eligible for positions on school boards. This list of names for school sufirage is to be sent to the next legis- lature to help enforce the claims of women to this school sufirage.” Breeders should have a house set apart for this operation, even if they are of the outdoor pattern, early in the season especially. Later the outdoor breeders may be used in the Open air. The breed- 9r house preferred by a Country Gen- tleman correspondent has a board floor, windows that admit the sunlight on the southerly side of the house and room about the breeder to secure exercise for the chickens, which, if very early in the season, cannot be advantageously al- lowed to run out of doors. The house need not be expensive. Even a building inclosed on three sides, open to the southâ€"a mere shedâ€"will answer, if one uses outdoor breeders, though an inclosed house is better. This corre- spondent has: used breeders in a cellar and had really good success with them, but prefers a house set apart to their use. It is not necessary, hOWever, to ex- ercise so much care in the location of a breeder as in that of an incubator, for a hatched chick has much greater vitality than the unhatched germ. Still the more favorable the situation of the breeder, other things equal, the more satisfactory will be the growth and de- velopment of the chickens. To Clean a. Comb.

Valuable Functions Performed by Modern Windmills at Small Cost. The wind, like the. poor, is always with us. In no considerable area in the United States is there a demand for more wind. It is indeed the specially disagreeable feature of nearly every cli- mate. The cold north winds of winter and the raw winds of March as well as the parching and drying winds of summer are alike disagreeable if not destructive. But the wind is everywhere and always a source of power and should be utilized by the farmer as a helping hand. Windmills are comparatively cheap, and many of them are very efiective. Great improve- ments have been made upon the old time windmills, and a new and possi- bly more appropriate nomenclature is now employed whereby we are intro- duced to “wind engines, ” “aermotors, ” etc. Still all these improved devices are windmills. There is scarcely a farmer in the country who can really afford to be without a good windmill. The uses to which such a machine may be put on every farm are various and may be made to yield a profit. To be sure, there will be some days when the mill can- not earn its keep through no fault of its own, but on most farms 3 little atten- tion from day to day will supplement the lack of motive power, and enough work may be done on breezy days to tide over a “doldrum” of even several days at a time. Some day-soon per- hapsâ€"electrical appliances will be at- tached to the windmill, enabling the farmer to store power as he now stores wheat or cider, to be drawn upon for use whenever convenient. But the wind- mill as it is at the present time is suffi- cient for most purposes to which farm- ers wish to apply power thus derived. Thus writes a correspondent of The Ir- rigation Age, who adds: Perhaps one of the most common uses to which the power of the wind is ap- plied is the pumping of water. Raising water by hand, even from shallow wells, is very hard work and too slow a proc- ess to be thought of on stock farms or when required for irrigation on a farm, however small. With a good well, how- ever deep, and a modern type of wind- mill, water for household purposes, stock and to some extent for irrigation may be easily and cheaply raised. But the pumping of water is only one of the valuable functions to be performed by the windmill. At comparatively small cost, belts, shafts and gearing may be provided whereby the power of the wind may be made to turn the grindstone, move the churn, shell the corn and grind it both for the use of the family and the stock, as well as to do a num- ber of other errands, such as elevating grain and baled hay for storage in the barn. Cheese and cider presses may be operated by the same power, and fodder and wood out also. In fact, the profit- able uses of the windmill are many, and as users of them acquire more experi- ence the long list of chores for the wind- mill will be lengthened, while that far the boys on the farm may be shortened in proportion. In brief, the modern windmill affords the farmer the read- iest and cheapest means to apply the enormous force of the wind to useful purposes about the farmstead. It is an easy Way to use to best advantage a waste product which costs nothing to produce, and which may nearly always be relied upon to ease the farmer’s toil as well as that of his family, while add- ing a hundred hitherto unknown com- forts not only to the farmer and his household, but to his flocks and herds. An Interesting Experiment. The Massachusetts highway commis- sioners are trying an interesting experi- ment. The board has found in building macadamized roads that upon loose, sandy soils much stone is being driven into the sand. In such cases gravel, when accessible, has been placed upon the sand to a depth of three or four inches, and on this is laid the stone. By so doing the cost is greatly reduced. There being no gravel at Martha’s Vine- yard, cheap cotton cloth has within two weeks been spread upon the sand, and over that the stone. It has been found that the sand does not work up through the stone, so much less stone is requir- ed. Layers of tarred paper were tried, but without success, as the stone pressed through them. The Farmers’ Review says that this is probably the first ex- periment ever made with cloth, and while the stretch on which it is used is not long the showing will be none the less valuable. Merits of Houdans. Wright, the well known English au- thority, Bays: “With respect to the merits of Hon- dans, we have no hesitation in pro- nouncing them one of the most valuable breeds ever introduced into this coun- try. We have in this breed the size, term and quality of the Dorking, with earlier maturity.

Not being satisfied with the result of my experience with breeders of differ- ent kinds, and with the impression that neither top nor bottom heat exclusively was the correct principle, I decided that I would make one which was nearer my idea. of what a breeder should be. As I had no old boards or boxes, I bought two large sized bootboxes very cheap, which were about ,four feet long, one foot: deep and nearly two wide. One box I carefully knocked apart so as not to spilt the boards, and the other one was left open on one side. Then I covered it all over the outside with I then bought enough 2 inch tin pipe (A) and two elbows to extend through the box and had a small cone shaped piece soldered at B to allow the lamp chimney to sit up in under; also one el- A HOMEMADE BROODER. some old felt paper, such as is used un- der carpets, and nailed the boards of the other box outside, so that I had double walls all around. Two small cleats were nailed to each end inside (D), I}; and 3 inches aboxe the bottom of the box to support the tray. bow and enough 4 inch pipe to ex- tend within about four to six inches of the opposite end of the box (0) and fas- tened to the top of the box. Fig. 2 represents the front of brooder, which is made by nailing two boards together, with paper between, and is then split clear across a little above the center (E), the top part being nailed to the box and a pair of hinges fastened to hold lower part, which is the door. One or two small pieces of glass can be fastened in door G to give light to inside of broodor. A tray made of light boards forms the movable floor, which can be cleaned in less time than it; takes to tell it; by opening the door and pull- ing out the tray and turning it over. The mark F is a small hole about three inches each Way to allow the chicks to pass in and out to the run. When the chicks are first put in, the tray rests upon the top cleats, and as they grow larger the tray can be low- ered to allow them to pass under the 4 inch pipe. This gives neither top nor bottom heat exclusively, but a. uni- form temperature throughout and does not require a hover. A New Jersey farmer was asked by the author of “Chemicals and Clover” why he used so much fertilizer. Here is his answer: The cold air passes in through the large pipe and is heated before it gets into the breeder proper. and as the opening is at the same end (F) there is a continuous circulation, but no strong draft. The cooler air, which is always at the bottom, is forced out, as the opening in door is always open, and the chicks can pass in and out at their own sweet pleasure. The 2 inch pipe at A should turn down, as it retains the heat better than when turned up and prevents the strong draft. If you like the idea. try it. A small can of Water placed in the brooder, so the evaporation will keep the air from becoming too dry, will be of advantage. It should be set near the top, so chicks cannot get into the water. -â€"Dr. N. H. Edwards in Western Gar- When we put fertilizers on our pota- toes, we look forward two years to the grass crop.

If he' is not, the prob- ability is he will not stay in the ranks many years, but will throw up the busi- ness in disgust. The fraternity misses such a man. The successful raiser is the man who is in a position to make money out of the poultry business, and he does. He probably could and perhaps does raise pure bred fowls. If he does and is not-a scientific breeder. he sel- dom raises anything of particular note unless by some chance mating. Yetne can make the business pay, for, aside from those that he realizes from $1 to $2. 50 each for, he has a lot he can sell at the market price to help fill his wal- let, and there is a good chance of his staying in the business. be it in thor- oughbreds or in crossbreds for market alone. Why 1790 So Much Fertilizer? HOMEMADE BROODER. 8009 Store Most Honey In Large Recepto- (ales, Says an Expert. Which colony will store the more surplus honeyâ€"the one provided with one pound sections, or the one having two pound sections? The foregoing que- ry was propounded in The American Bee Journal, and the answers were al- most unanimously in favor of the two pound sections, although everybody agreed that when it came to selling the honey, it was much better to have it in one pound sections. To the farmer who keeps but a few colonies and who wish- es to produce honey for his family use the question of sale is but secondary, and he desires, above all things, to get as much product as possible from the few colonies of bees that he keeps. It is therefore important for him to know whether there is really an advantage in using large honey sections. With a view to settling this matter are here appended the opinions of that expert bee man, Charles Dadant, as expressed in a letter to Prairie Farmer: To show how evidently the bees prefer a long, open frame to a small section we will say that we tried both the long frames and the frames containing four sections each, side by side in hives, placing the small sections in the center over the brood nest. In every instance the bees filled the large open frames first, although they were placed in a less fa- vorable place. In a comparative test between large and small sections the result was similar, although the differ- ence was not so plainly marked. This shows that it is best to use long open frames, or large sections, in the supers, when the intention of the beekeeper is to produce honey especially or exclusive- ly for his family’s use. But if honey for market is wanted one must either use the one pound sections, which are the only comb honey package of marketable value, or he must use the long, open frames with the honey extractor. American Agriculturist reports that, despite the partial failure of the apple crop in New York state, the metropoli- tan market has been more than well supplied with apples the present season. There are some notable facts apparent in this season’s show of fruit. There seems to be a greater variety of apples than is commonly seen at this season, and among these are some, now quite plentiful, which have of late years been extremely scarce, such as N ewtown pip- pin, Esopus spitzenburg, Jonathan, Rawle’s Genet, Swaar. Seek No Fur- ther and Dominie. All of these have been more or less plentiful, of fairly good quality and free from scab. The first step taken for the securing of surplus honey, after the invention of the movable frame hive, was the inven- tion of a small box, glassed on four sides and holding about four pounds of honey. The bees had access to this small box through only one hole about an inch in diameter. It was soon perceived that there was less honey harvested in this style of box than formerly in the old wooden bucket plan, laid bottom side up on top of the box hive. We used these boxes for a short time, but after the invention of the extractor in 1867 we tried surplus cases of full size with open frames right over the brood combs and without any partition or honey board. These frames were used for ex- tracting. The result was so much in fa- vor of the large frame that we soon dis- carded the glass boxes altogether. A lit- tle later on the honey section, holding about a pound, was invented and found just the thing for the comb honey mar- ket. We tried these sections in broad frames to hold them in the supers, and we used them side by side with the long extracting frames. The result was by far in favor of the latter, and were it not that the city trade demands honey in small packages we dare the assertion that no one would think of using any- thing else. Bees in a state of nature lodge them- selves in the hollows of trees. They store honey in provision of future needs. Their instinct leads them to place the honey at the upper part of their hive above the brood and far from the en~ trance, so that, the cluster of bees being placed between their stores and the enâ€" trance, they can better defend these against intruders. They also want the honey in a place easily accessible dur- ing cold weather, and therefore as near the brood nest as possible. When we give our bees an empty box above their breeding room, we act according to their requirements, but when the box is cut up into small compartments they readi- ly perceive that some parts of this sur- plus room may become difficult of ac- cess to them during the cold weather, and they work in them much more re- luctantly. There is no other possible explanation of this seeming revival of apparently dying out varieties. says the authority referred to, than that it has been brought about by spraying and in some cases by a more intelligent fertilization. That this is the correct solution is further shown by the improved quality of the commoner varieties which come from orchardists who are up to date, such as the Baldwin.
