LEGAL PERSONAL KNOWLEDGE OF FARM WORK. Common sense teaches us farmers that we must devote our time exclus- ively to our work: on the tar-mi or we will suffer loss writes Elias F. Brown. For instance, one farmer told me the other day that he had some extra work to look after last summer and thathe was foolish enough to hire an extra man to do his farm work while he gal- loped down the road looking after some one else's work. Now it might appear thata person could make a fairly good thing if he earns '40 to 850 per month at something besides farming, whens common farm hand can be hired for 815 to " per month. The difference between " and Wio is quite a. nice little sum, yet when we come to count in the extras which the " man has to have and which must be supplied from the " 'salary it equalizes things considerably. Still I do not think here ispyhere the great difference lies. - I A CHEAP HOG SHELTER. Comparatively few farms have good, warm and dry Shlller for hogs in win- ter. Nearly every farm has shelter of some kind, but many hog houses are so open and exposed to the weather and cold drafts particularly, that the hogs are uncomfortable and consequently unprofitable. A shelter for 25 or 30 head can be made very cheaply of straw and rails. It answersthe purpose very well and in the saving of feed and the comfort oi hogs wi:l mmy times repay its root, which is on y the. labor neces- sxry to t'rect it. A double. pen, one inside the other, is built of fence rails. two rail-lengths .o.lg and one wide, and 8 or 4 ft. high. lhe Sploe between tho two pans. 12 or 15, in. is filled with straw and well trumped. Other rails are laid across on top. On these the straw roof " plured. The straw is dampened, lo 'h;t it will pack well. It is built well out oz'cr the sides of the pen, " hil'h should stand on dry ground. l he c'oor on the leewylrd side usually needs co protection. Nothing more is neces- su‘y except an occasional fresh bed of straw. 1f the hog could take its choice of warm or cold slop in low mercury wexthcr, it would wry readily, through its instinct, pick out the warm. To winter swine as cheaply as possible, it is necessary to warm the ration in cold weather. This can very easily be done by .pl.1cing three or tour pails of waiter in the wash boiler and heating on the kitchen fire after the cooking is done. In this way there will be no extra expense. This hot water poured onto other compounds in the barrel will warm slope ration enough for a gamiiy number of hogs. Warm pig house and plenty of dry bedding are :ilso necesmry for winter economy. Think of the Valet amount of feed it will hire, if the hog must sleep in the open air, with poorly arranged shel- ter, and drink its sloops at ILt degrees. Warm the slops and save the feed. A machine man on the farm is worse than an unruly animal, for they, the animals, can be tied down, with the assurance that they will come to time, but with the other fellow nothing a?“ be done. Corn, like all other crops to one respect, has to be well cared for from the very beginning to get best results. Some places in the field may need deep cultivation, while others may require shallow, and if a man is scab- sorbed in something else that he does not notice this difference in these Prices he is not on the road to success- ful farming. Thus it may be easily scenthlt, usually speaking. it a man understands the requirements of his form it would surely pay him as well, For convenience purchase an oil bar- rel, 50 gals size, saw one end Mt eight inches from top, fasten cap on with strong hinge, so it can be opened and shut at will. To preven,t freezing, fix a 00x around the barrel, pack well with sawdust or chantry manure. In bitter cold weather, hang a lantern in the barrel by inserting a small hook in the middle of cap, also malret a few uimlet holes for ventilation. -__-_ """'-'"l r“: “u“ “U """9 if not better, to stay at home and do his own work. or take the pace of the " man instead of accepting $50 a mouth elsewhere. WARM THE SLOPS IN WINTER SUCCESS WITH CEMENT. Before putting down a cvment floor be sure that tha building is when! it is always to stand. for the floor' can- not be removed says M. C. Thomas. Use the very best material. Do not use any of the cheap grades of cement. I prefer the Portland above all others, as cold or heat does not affect it. To begin, put down a layer of clean gra- ~.el sis inches deep, slightly moistened ind tamped down as firmly nspos- -.ible. After this is done, commence on 'he floor. "is should be laid it sec- ions about three feet wide, sothat a person can trowel across them. Pro- "ure. a scantling six inches wide and we inches thick. Begin on one side a: the barn and tor a horse stall give it [ti one-half inch fall from manger to On the Farm. inches thick and the top coat one-half inch thick, and for achickon house, still less. After the floor is laid, keep everything off until it thoroughly set, and in ten days or two weeks it will be ready tor, any kind of stock. Sow' put on the top coat, which should be one inch thick, and is made of two parts of sharp, clean sand and one part caanent, thoroughly mixed and tempered and of the right consistency to spread nicely. In smoothing itoif, use a straight else at first, and after it has commenced to dry, use a trowel to give it a smooth, glossy appearance. In putting on the top, smooth it off with " little work as possible, as too much work will cause the water and sand to come to! the surface, making a bad job. If you wish to corrugate it, use a beveled board and strike it gently with a hatchet. After this re- move the scantling and proceed as be- fore. For a cow stable or hog house, the concrete need not be over three hind feet. Stake and- level thescantl- lug. then apply the concrete. which is made by using six parts ct clean,aharp gravel and one part cement, thorough- ly mixed and just dampened enough to pack well. Wheel this in and have it five inches thick when it is thoroughly tumped. The tamping must be thor- oughly done. _ -. . Two Great Festivals Whlcl Will - Ilse National Ill-d This Month. Within a few days will be celebrated in the Hall of the Knights in the Im- perial Palace of Berlin the great an- nual festival of the Order of the Black Eagle. This, the greatest of all Prus- sian orders, which takes cosmopolitan rank as one of the eight great orders of the world, was instituted by Fred- erick, Elector of Brandenburg, on Jan- uary 17, 1701, the eve of his coronation as the first King of Prussia. Origin- ally the number of knights was lim.. ited to thirty Prussiuns, not including sovereigns and princes of the royal house. In 1847 King Frederick Wil- liam decreed that foreign princes of the blood and distinguished men of all nations might be knighted. To-day almost all princes of great reigning houses in Europe are members of the order. The Emperor mounts the steps of the throne and stands there with um5over- ed head, while the trumpeters on the red platform execute a fanfare, which is caught up and echoed by the trum- pettrs of the Silver Choir. . attired in the mantle of the order, re- ceives the guests in the wainscoted room next to the rural apartment. 1h.m all file out in solemn procession to the Hall of the Knights. Here on a platform envered thh red velvet stand tight trumpeters of the Horse Guards. 1h.y are dressed in uniforms of the tim: of Frederick 1. Eight more trum- peters, similarly attired. known name "silver Choir," stand on another plat- form. Three days later will follow the of-. ficial reception of minor orders of the German Empire. This is knewn as the Ordcnsfest, or Feast of Orders. On this day all who during the preceding year have received any sort of decora- that from the German Emperor, the only source of suth honors, are invit- ed to the Imperial Palace. From one to two thousand p:rsons are thus brought together. ranging from the select few wh, have been decorated with the Order of the Black Eagle to the hundreds who have received but th: simplest ll hemollern house order. Th, guests asymblo in the ante-rooms of th: palace. Here the president. of the. General Ct mmission of the order " the newly decorated and distributes th: respective insignia. The ladies in th, meanwhile assemble in a room set. apart for tlwm and receive from the Empress' first Lady in waiting the Order of Louise. - At the annual festival the Chapter of the Black Eagle is solemnly assem- bled, and those knights who have been admitted during the preceding year are oficiully received. Full dress is required of all knights, th: military wearing white trousers and stripes, the civilians white knee breechers, white stockings and white sh res. Both military and civil knights will wear the red velvet mantle of the order over the full dress, and over the mantle the collar of the order. The n:w knights will wear only the ribbon of the order. Thm the knights who are to be in-. vested are brought up in succession to th: throne, each accompanied by two old knights, who act as spousers. The nvwly made knight is clothed in the manila: of the order. The Emperor himself invests him With the collar, th n cunsecmtes and embraces him, and dismiss" him to receive the salu- tations and 1iaruishairings at all the old-1 knights. A formal banquet winds up the occasion. Th.m all the guests, male and fo- male, file into the chapel, where they are joined by the Emperor and Eur. pn-ss and the greqt cuurt officials. The length of the sermon in the chair." is fully compensated for by the excellence of the subsequent dinner in ths great White Hall. The guests are seated at a series of tables, each of which is set apart for one particular grade, according to the decoration conferred. Hence for the nonce all difference of social rank are forgotten. The staff officer of the government or the Privy Councillor may be seated out to the policeman or the lackey. the General beside the simple artisan. The Emperor presides at the ban- quilt and _at its_ close proposes the Wu Ting-tang. Chinese Minister at Washington, is recovering from his first experience of Caucasian grip, and will soon be able. to resume his regu- lar dmieo. haalth of the newly decorated. Then the guests receive cornucopia, which ih.y may fill with fruits or sugar plums to take home to their relations or children. TH E EMPEROR, HIMSELF, GERMANY’S BIG FEASTS. READS OUT THE LISTS ONTARIO ARCHIVES TORONTO With the hope of rescuing her, a force was despatched trom Freetown, with orders to push through to Roto- funk without delay. On arriving at the Ribbi River, however. the force found that the natives had collected at Mab- ang, a town on the opposite bank, and had withdrawn all canoes and boats. As the river is over one hundred and fifty yards broad and six fathom deep, a serious obstacle presented itself. The only officer who knew this part of the country was Lieut. W.R. Howell, of the 1st Glamorgan Volunteer Artil- lery, a member of an old Cornish family, who had raised a force of vol- unteers to swim across the river and bring back as many canoes as possible, but there was no response. as not only would the swimmers be exposed to the full fire of the enemy, bat the river was known to swarm with alligators. At Rotofunk, a mission station some fifty-five miles from the coast, tour of the white missionaries had been literally hacked to pieces by the na- tives. It was sad, however, that Mrs. Kane, the wife of the superintendent of the mission, had succeeded in escap- ing into the bush. the Brave Deed of Men. - In 'hr. Iilerru Leone [Emu-g. This thrilling incident of the native uprising in Sierra Leone is described by a correspondent of the London Standard. At length Lieutenant Howell, in spite of the protestations of his fellow-offi- cers, resolved to make the attempt himself. The enemy, evidently seeing what he was about to do, assembled in force on the opposite bank, but were driven back some distance and kept at buy by the firing of the British volurv. teens over Lieutenant Howell's head. When the lieutenant had Just reach- ed midstream and was in the full cur- rent, he was seen to swing round rapidly on his back; his leg had been seized by an alligator. It was only by swinging sharply round that he suc- ceeded in freeing himself, but even so his thigh had been torn and laeerated in a shocking manner. Would Be Expand Io l‘nmlnc " Her Food Supply Wv.r. rat on. England in time of war would bese- cure against foreign invasion. Not un- til her navy was destroyed could any military force be landed on her shores, and with the most powerful afloat and the beat war-vessels of every class she could defy any Continental na- lion. Tlhere an other and better motives than Selfintertat for 'slrengthening the bonds betwr en the two branches of the English-speaking 'race. Yet the fact that each can be helpful to the other, and protect it from danger and calamity, tends to bring them to- gather in close tellowship.United they will stand, and as Mr. Gladstone 0110.; mid, the world will belong to than. Her chief risk would be a failure of food supplies. Her most deadly foe would be starvation. Then is never more than ten weeks' supply of wheat in the United Kingdom. It ihe stock of foreign food were out off, bread and meat would rise in price, and the masses of workers would be exposed toiling horrors u famine. - This is England’s great warm of danger in war-time. Against it there can be no stronger safeguard than the mnintenance of friendly relations with America, whence the bulk of her im- ported food is drawn. With her fleets in command ofthe seas, and with her main base of supplies secured by Anglo-American good feeling, Eng- land is well-nigh invainurable, against attack. Notwithstanding this 1mm, and the work of the enemy’s guns. the gallant officer continued his perilous journey, and at length reached the opposite bank, only to find that his errand was fruitless, as all tho boats and canoes had been destroyed. - For more than half an nour be con- tinued his Search, but finding the enemy again pressing him, and feeling weak from loss of blood, he was com- pelled to take to the river again. and got back in safety. From this point of view England's deicnive resources have been greatly strengthened by the improved rela- tions now existing with America. No alliance with any Continental power would secure trr against famine in time of war. America alone is able to do this, and to arm England with resources for difrirsur (my European coalition Manhunt“: Watt hike: no. Llfe In. then. uulonni Way. A despatch trom Gore Bay, Manitou- lin Grand, tsarst---A most desperate case of suicide ia reported from Cock- burn Irlund, the victim being a farmer named George Schmidt. It appears that Schmidt, who had been ill for sev- eral months, while in a fit of despond- eucy, blew the top of his head off with the discharge from a shot gun. The suicide placed the muzzle of the gun in his mouth and connected the trigger by a contrivance made of strong cord. When the body was discovered the dead man's face was unrecognizable. For years inventors worked on the problem of cutting out square holes by machinery, and were able to solve the puzzle, practical machines for the purpose appearing on the market. Just at this time, however, they were rendered useless because of the de- velopment of hydraulic power which makes it possible to punch holes of any shape in almost any material. There are other machines for mortis- ing, etc., which cut holes square, ob. long and of other shapes. These, how- ever. do not cut out squatter finished holes in the sense that on sugar cuts out I circular‘holo. BLEW TOP OF HIS HEAD OFT, CUTTING SQUARE HOLES. ENGLAND'S CHIEF RISK.
