Rye, clover and cats, in the : order named, will furnish feed from the middle of April to July 1 and a}||i plot of early sweet corn will be ready ; to feed by that date, and before the'“ middle of July sorghum will be ready | to cut, and this and corn, both (ield; and sweet, will furnish feed from this | date until the frosts kill them. Accordâ€" ing to Waldo Brown, an acre of sorâ€" ghum will feed a herd of fifteen eows. for two full months, and even longer | on rich land and with a favorable sea-i son ; but the best thing about sorghum | is that it will make a good crop in | the dryest years. The land on which | rye and clover is grown should be | plowed and put in order for % later | crop of corn and sorghum for Septem" ber and October feeding. _ For the} make of some variety in the feed I would grow some corn to feed from August 1 till frost, as cows, like peoâ€" ple enjoy a change of diet occasiona‘ly. I have devoted considerable space to the subject of soiling, because this is the only profitable way to keep & dairy on a small farm, and the keepâ€" ing of a dairy seems to be the best and cheapest way to furnish manure to make the land rich so as to grow large l erops. â€" As to make dairying profitable, TORONTO ing of a dairy seems to be the best‘ and cheapest way to furnish manure to | make the land rich so as to grow large crops. _ As to make dairying profitable, \ it is necessary to have a good market, and as the work is confining and disâ€"‘ tasteful to many, I will suggest that, with a few cows to furnish the family ‘ and give some milk to be fed the pigs at weaning time, pig pork can be proâ€"‘ auced at a nrofit on a small farm, and | and give some milk to be fed the pigs at weaning time, pig pork can be proâ€" duced at a profit on a small farm, and rightly managed pigs will make a large amount of excellent manure. _ To make the most profit from pigs I think it would be necessary to buy some feed, and, if this is done, 1 would recomâ€" mend that, as a rule, it will be best to buy bran and oil meal, old process, rather than corn. It will be necessary to provide a place to store both bran ‘and corn, and buy a stock to last a good while when the price is low, if you would realize the greatest profit. I have storage for ten tons of bran, and have often bought at $8 a ton, :aml before it was fed out the price would1 go up to nearly or quite twice \thut, and one year it was §22 a ton in three months after I bought at §$10. If pork is to be a leading product of the farm, I would grow an acre of beets each year to feed boin to the sows and to the cows, as sows fed on beets during pregnancy are in good condiâ€" tion at farrowing ume, and seldom lose their pigs, and ylenty of beets fed to tham when suckling will Increase the ‘ make a large barrel of rich slop, that is cheap, palatable and nutritious, and that will keep pigs as bealthy as any | | other food will. The essential puinls} | in making a litUle farm support a famâ€" | | ily are keeping the soil rich, keeping | lit constantly at work growing someâ€"| thing that the family or the stock can! eat, and studying your market and | growing something that it wants and | will pay for. Often a half acre of toâ€" matoes can be grown as a second crop after early potatoes, and will find the best market of the year late, when the early tomatoes are past bearing. in many localities a quarter or bhalf acre of berries can be made largely profâ€" itable and in most neighborhoods some money can be made by growing plants for sale. Whatever line of farming you follow, do not neglect the poultry, as you may be sure of from $100 to $300 from them. From what I have written it will be seen that to make a living from a ‘few acres will require quite different management from that which will be successfu! on a large farm, HINTS FOR THE FARMER. The second cropof rowen and clov-‘ er hay is very desirable for all milch stock, heifers, calves, and sheep, to say nothing of poultry. For all these purâ€" poses it is not only as good, but far better than the first crop, inasmuch as it is finer, more easily masticated, better relished, and consumed, with less waste by the live stock. It must, however, usually be cured somewhat differently from the first crop, for the reason that it is cut when the fall weather is at hand, with short days and cool nights, which do not admit of lno much sunâ€"drying as is possible earli~ er in the summer. Then the bulk of 1 CURING SECONDCROP HAY. 1 this second crop is often clover, which, if exposed long to the sun‘s rays, soon loses its leaves, which are the very best and most nutritious portions of the hay. Hence it follows, from both of the above causes, that the secondâ€"crop hay is to be made mainly in cocks.

"I‘ve told you once or twice," said the old cireus man, "somehing about the great giant we had once, the greatâ€" est of all giants; but I never told you just what his height was, because youl never would have believed it if I had.!‘ You can form some idea about it though, when I tell you that he had to stoop down to pat our great eighâ€" teenâ€"foot giraffe on the head. That was an act that we used to make the most of. At every performance we used to show the giant, of course; and after he‘d walked around the ring once or twice we used to bring in the great giraffe. We‘d taught the giraffe to answer the call, and the giant would stand over on the other side of the ring and call him, and when the girâ€" affe had come over beside him he would bend over and pat him on the head, the same as an ordinary man would a greyhound.

It A New and Curlous Application of Electrt city to War Purposes in a London E® °_ hibition. The latest wonder of wireless teleâ€" graphy, says the Golden Penny, of London, is the explosion of a submaArâ€" ine mine by electrical waves from &A transmitter used in wireless telegraâ€" phy. In a showoase in one part of a building is placed an automatic transâ€" ‘mitter, which is insulated. A storage | battery of four cells is placed in the \ lower part of the case, which feeds the | primary of a four inch spark coil, the current from the battery first PASE~ \ ing through an automatic circuit break= er. : } Outside these bats are placed two | .smallex' balls about an inch and & balf in diameter attached to sliding brass !rods, on the outer end of which are | other balls one inch in dAiameter, 80 | that the distance between the large , and the small balls can be easily adâ€" | justed.

In another part of the building, diâ€" rectly opposite and about . two bunâ€" dred feet distant, is placed the receivâ€" er, which consists of a Clarke coberer relay and receiving inst rument which has a large six inch vibrating bell conâ€" nected up in the locat circuit, in adâ€" dition to the telegraph sounder.

It is owned, nominally either by a British, French or American subâ€" ject, for the reason that thus it can safely print what it pleases, while a Chineseâ€"owned paper would be supâ€" pressed if it prinied any real new». Curiously, the best native paper in China, the Knoâ€"Wenâ€"Pao, is owned by a Japanese subject, It is suid that a {oreicner of sufficient standing to pose as the owner of a native paper draws a salary of $50 a month for the use of his name, without labor or responâ€" sibility. When the attack was made on Siâ€" don, in the war with Syria, it became necessary for the British troups to advance across a long, unprotected bridge, in the face of a battery of six guns, which completely commanded the approach. Ths men were unwilling to expose themselves to certain death, when â€" Arthur Cummiog, _ carefully dressed in full uniform, stepped forâ€" ward to the middle of the bridge. . It was immediately swept by the fire of the battery. When the smoke had rolled away there stood Cumming inâ€" tact, carefully brushing the dust from his boots, after which he stood erect fixed a single glass in his eye, and and looked back at the men. This was too much, and they captured that bridge and battery with a whoop. ctrical fuse FORTY YEARS A CAPTAIN. A despatch from Liverpool says:â€" Wm. H. P.
