Plow live inches dep very early iti March. Drag or roll, as this as sists in rotting. Work until thia is like a garden. With a light marker haviug three runners three feet apart, I lay the laud oft' crosswise. Then beginning on one side, stretch a No. 14 plain wire. Insert n brick layer's ten-inch trowel to its full depth, and pnll slightly toward yourself, pick tip plant with ieft hand by the leaves and with a downward forward sweep drop in nt back of trowel with thumb and forefinger, firmly holding the heart of crown. Withdraw the trowel and as you do so press the ground firmly about the plant, pniling it up slightly. This excludes all air and firms the plant. When first row is set move wire forty-two inches and repeat. I set every third plaut a fertilizer, or one fertilizer and two female plants. As soon as plants are set, if no rain has fallen, run roller over them and follow with a light harrow. Cultivate crosswise twice before runners bother, then do all cultivat ing lengthwise, drawing runners in until yon make a perfect or solid row. Keep the field clean. I work plants each woek until September, when with small Diamond plow and rolling coulter I narrow each row down to twelve inches. In ten days I work soil back to row. From first to mid dle of October I haul mulch and cover six ';o eight iuches deep, and the field is veady for winter. I have followed this svstem ten years and have no cause to change my method. Nearly evey berry grower has his particular ways. I set plants in row as stated, then all pickers have rows exactly alike. Feed for Laying Ducks. From an article on "How to Handle r.reediug and Laying Ducks," by James liuukin, in Farm Foultry, the following is taken: Too often the health of the young bird is injured by the improper feed- lug of the mother bird during the lay iug season. The food should consist of the propel' ingredients, aud quantity just what the bird will eat cleau, and no more. Grit is absolutely necessary, aud is one of the essentials. We not only keep it, together with cracked oyster shells, in boxes constantly by thorn, but mix it in ther food. They must have something during their confinement during inclement weather to enable theiu to assimilate their food. One iugredient which we consider of the greatest importance is green food, which should compose nearly one-fourth of the whole. We have some two acres of rye, eighteen iuches high. This is cut three-eighths of an inch long and mixed with the food. When there is prospect of snow we cut large quantities of this in a frozen state and pile it up on the north side of a building. It will not heat in this condition. Hhosld this be used up, and the grouud still be covered with snow, we have several tons of fiue clover rowen etored for the purpose, which we cou.nder next in value to the rye, so that we ' are never out of that material for feeding. We also grow about a thousand bushels of turnips, which we steam until they are soft, aud mix them in the food. This the birds relish highly. The first point is to start in with good breeding stock. Birds that have been iubred until their constitu tious are completely debilitated are in no condition for reproduction. Strains fhat do not begin laying .until March or April are more or less unprofitable, because when their young are ready for the knife the best of the spring market is gone, and the grower must take a reduced price for his product. In this, as in many other cases, "tho early bird catches the worm." My formula for feeding breeding and laying birds, when fertile eggs are desired, is as follows: For breeding birds (old or young, during the fall), feed three parts of wheat brau, one part of (Quaker oat feed, one part corn meal, five per cent, of beef scrap, five per cent, of grit, and all the green food they will eat in the shape of corn fodder cut fine, clover or oat fodder. Feed this mixture twice a day, all they will eat. Fur hiyin;; b!: ".s, equal parls ! wheat brau and corn meal, twenty per cent, of Quaker oat feed, ten per cent. of boiled potatoes or turuips, fifteen per cent, of clover roweu, green rye or refuse cabbage chopped fine, five per c?nt. of grit. Feed twice a day all they will eat, with a lunch of corn aud oats at noon. Keep grit and ground oyster shells constantly by them. I We never cook the food for our ducks after they are a week old, but mix it up with cold water. Kuiiiiiiei' I'riiiiiuf; of llic Frur. Kouie years ago I came iuto posses sion of a pear orchard of about five eighths of an acre. It had been badly neglected, aud I took it in baud to make it produce ail income. My knowledge of the subject was gained from books, aud I made some blun ders. Among other things 1 pruned the trees heavily ami immured them, "not wisely, but too well." As a con sequence, they were thrown strongly into wood growth. rieveral Aujou trees about nine, inches in diameter look on a tremendous wood growth, but yielded very few pears, hardly a fraction of a bushel each. fasting about for a remedy, I ran across an account of a Frenchman's method of promoting the growth of bloom buds and adopted it. It con sisted in breaking oil, in early July, ibout two-thirds of each newly-grown shoot on all trees that w el e luukiug too much wood growth. The method was very successful. I recollect that two trees which never hail yielded more than "a bushel of each of pears, after three years of this treatment produced between six and seven bushels each of pf ars of the highest quality. In 1877 I had between thirty and forty bushels of Anjons, which was an average crop. The quantity stead- ly increased till 1884, when I had over a hundred and thirty bushels of first quality Anjons. The Anjoos were the only trees I systematically treated to this summer pruning, aud the in crease in their product was very much greater thau that of varieties not so treated. There were Bartlctts, Clapps, Clairgeaus, Sheldons, Duchess, Law rence ami neckeis in tne orcuani. They received the same care as the Anjous, bnt got very little snmmcj pruning; they made a satisfactory gain in product, bnt it was not nearly equal to that nf the Anjous. Not all arieties were equally suited to this treatment, notably the Seckel, Law- ence and Sheldon. Some did not need it, as they set more pears than they CGitid carry properly, and needed to have the crop thinned. I believe that liberal manuring, thorough cultivation of the soil, and the removal of two-thirds of the new growth in early summer will go a long way toward rendering pear trees fruitful. It can be done very rapidly. The shoots can be broken by the hand with great ease. Any man of common intelligence can be taught to do tae work. Cutting is no better a method than breaking, it it is as good. O. F. Rogers, in Country Oentlemau, WISE WORDS. Every other generation knows how to briug up children properly. Success which makes a man humble is success of the finest perfection. Charity often covers a multitude o) sins which ought not to be covered. That which history can best give is the enthusiasm which it raises in out hearts. Take the place and attitude which belong to you, and all men will ac quiesce. Indulgent mothers tell a boy to gel up in a tone which encourages him tc stay in bed. It is a bad form to confide financial prosperity to your family doctor. II affects his bills. When a mau finds fault with his coffee his wife safely infers that the batter cakes are all right. The man who seeks his peace in his own perfection will have to wait many days before he finds it. Sunshine is the best disinfectant. Try your pessimist with a compliment and five thousand a year. A clever man can hide the fact that he isn't wise; but a wise man always exposes his lack of cleverness. There is no happiness in having and getting, but only in giving; half the world is on the wrong scent in pur suit of happiness. A girl's idea of happiness is to dance with one man and leave two or three other men walking the hall floor in jealous rage. As soon bb a girl thinks she owns a mau she begins to act hurt and dis pleased when he doesn't put on an overcoat when it's cold out. ' When a young man proposes to a girl she is usually about as much sur prised as a presidential candidate is when he is officialy notified of his nomination. Sleeps Less Than an Hour a Day. W. Clemens Christie, of Cincinnati, must hold the world's record as cham pion sleep abstainer, for he does not take more than six hours of sleep a week less than one hour a day. He is a veteran of the late war, a harness maker by trade. His face is ruddy and entirely free from wrinkleB. Although he is hfty-six years old, he does not look or act more than thirty five. He works at his trade day and night, and is never ill or inactive from the brevity of his sleeping periods. "This thing of sleeping is merely a habit," Christie says. "There is noth ing strange about it, and any one can do without much sleep if he cares to try it. With me it is merely a matter of business. I generally have suf ficient work on hand to keep me busy nearly all the time, both night and day, and, in consequeuce of this, I put the greater part of the time that other people lose by sleeping in working. "No, there is no secret about it, nor do I take any precautious or drugs to keep me awake. My idea lies solely in eating instead of sleeping. It is my belief that a good meal is just as much a restorative for tired nature as a deep sleep would be. Eat instead of sleep, say I, and you get along just as well. "I venture to say that there is not another man in the country who habi tually feels as well and as bright as I do every moi uiug, though he sleep all night, aud I never close my eyes." Finger Itings. 1'rom the remotest times wouieu have loved to adorn their lingers with rings, uud some of the mummies found iu tho Egyptian pyramids had their lingers literally covered with theiu. Noineliiues these rings were of gold, but at others they were of glass, pottery or brass, according, no doubt, to tho wealth of the wearers. A ring is bestowed in marriage be cause it was anciently a seal by which orders were signed, aud the delivery of the ring w as a token that a man gave the bearer of it power to act as his deputy. Thus a woman, having her husband's siuut ring, had power to issue orders as he himself would do. Detroit l"ree l'less.

A TEMPERANCE COLUMN THE DRINK IN EVIL MADE MANIFEST MANY WAYS. Ilow tti Nation! Drink Report allow ing lh Amonnt of Alrohnllo Drink Prorttired and Tontntned In Rnropo anrt th I'nlteil fftato .tlerranny Attend Avery Interesting report, sys tho At lanta Journal, has been submitted by thn Ilrltish Donrd of Trade to the House, of Commons showing thn production and consumption of wine, beer and spirits In the various countries of Europe, and In the United States. The statlstles thus supplied cover the pe riod from 1SS5 to 1K!, Inclusive. Thn most Interesting part of the report Is that Which refers to the eompnrnttve eonsump tion of alcoholic drinks In (treat Ilrltaiu, Oermnny, France and tho I'nited Ktatos. In France, where the production of wine Is larger than In nny other country In the world, the consumption Increased from Sl.S Billions per head In 18S5 to Uil.B gallons In 1H!H1, and has since probably underRone no decline. In Germany the consumption of wlno Is LOT. gallons per head; In the Vnlted Kingdom, .4, and in the United Htates, ,2'i per head a slight decrease In both countries since 1HH5. Tho whole of the wine consumed in the United Kingdom Is Imported, and of the consumption in tho United States 7(t rer cent, is produced nt home. Uut In beer, Germany, tho United King dom and the United States make up for their small consumption of wine. Germany, tho greatest beer producing country, cou s times 25. 5 gallons per head of tho popula tion, against 19.8 gallons In 1SS5. Tho United Kingdom, next In production, con sumes 30.7 gallons per head a small in crease and the United States, third In production, consume 12.7 gallons per head of population, against S.8 gallons In 1MH5 an increase of nearly 50 per cent, per head. With all the wine drinking of the French, they manage to consume 8 gallons of beer per head besides. But Belgium has a beer consumption of more thnu 43 gallons nor head; and llavnrla makes np for some other (tortious of tho German Empire with a per lead consumption of 50 gallons. Germany lends all tho great nations in the consumption of spirituous drinks, tho total quantity amounting to 100,700.000 gal lons, or 1.(14 gallons per head of the popu lation a small decline since 1HU0. France has a consumption of 70.180,000, or 1.85 gal lons per head. The United Kingdom lias n consumption of 40,070,000 gallons, or 1 .(ft per head, and the consumption In tho Unt ied Statesis 5il.186.000 gallons, or .83 of a .Ulon per boa i. f or tho untteit states, as well as for allothercountrles In this report, tho measure is in Imperial gallons, live of which are equal to six of our gallons. In Belgium, where thn common drink is gin, the consumption of spirituous liquors Is greater than in any other country, and Holland comes next. Tho statement of tho revenues which tho various countries re ceive from tho trnltlc In alcoholic beverages is Interesting. In Orent Britain tho net revenue in 18!I6 was 44'J.820,0O0, and of this H5U.055.OO0, or 25 per cent., was In duties aud internal taxes on liquors. Of this taxa tion 17 ner cent, onlv was in duties on im ports. The total net revenue of tho United States In 1806 was $:123,803,139, and the in ternal revenues and customs from liquors amounted to H20.307.084. or upward of 87 per cent, of the whole. The Dingloy tariff will make little change in this fiscal rela tion. In France tho revenues from liquors amount to 9103.400.000, or 19 per cent, of tho entire government Income, but con sumers In Tarls and in other cities are sub ject to an octroi tax by tho municipalities. In Germany tho revenues from aleoholic products is 57, 969,040, or only 11 hi per cent, ot the total income. It will be noticed that the United states f;ets a larger part ot its revenue from the IquortralHo than any other nation. Drinkers Under the Ban. A significant Indication of the intoler ance employers are now evidencing to drunken employes is shown In the head lines ot an advertisnmout for the care of inebriates: "No drunkards need apply." The advertisement thou goes on to etato that tho institution will cure such as "find the door of employment closed against them" as drunkards. Even army o Ulcers now find themselves debarred from promo tion by drunkenness. It was once an al most accepted belief that every railroad employe was a drinking man, but It is not now so. tie can not bold his place on many railroads and be seen in a saloon. May it indued become a bar to position, to decent society, and to any place of responsibility or commence to no Known as a drinking man. The man who drluks is a menace to society and to public safety as well as to uimseii. it is no longer a question of per sonal right. It is a question of publto wel fare. Mr. Depew, In an address at the an niversary ot the Now York ltailroad Asso ciation, said: The railroads twenty-two years ago were not well organized; then there wore 15,00u men In our service, and now there 30,000. It Is a fact that twenty-two years ago twenty per cent, of tho force was discharged with in a given time for druukeuuess. In those days the saloon was alwavs verv much in avidence along our Hues aud at our termi nals. Now not ono oer cent, of our men disappear from drunkenness, aud the force Is twice as large as it was in the old days. We have a higher grade of men, men with a greater force of character, and this has been brought about in large measure by organizations of this kind. Men. A Child's Hand. One has said there is a child's hand on the door of tho millennium. If that be so, let us give the child power to open tho doot and enjoy the bliss of a regained paradise by removing the saloon, which is to mill ions the gateway to the city of destruction. And while we thus touch tho youth the principles of total abuiuonce from all that can Intoxicate, let us as true patriots re member that as the liquor ! raffle, came by law it must go by law. We may sing "lies- cue tho Perishing" ever so sweetly, and "Work for tho Night Is Coining" ever so often, but the traffic will still nourish and fatten upon our dear ones.

Tearing Down aud Hilildllic I' p. Two nieu had a sharp discussion. One was an abstainer: the other was not. Said the lutter: "Depend upon it, there is noth ing like beer. Why, when I get home at night, aud have drunk a quart or two, 1 feel as If I could knock a house dowu." "Ah,"' replied thn other quietly, "but since I have been a teetotaler, i have put two houses up, aud that suits mo better." C'amiuendable. Most comuiondable Is the decision of the Century Wheelmen's Club, of Philadelphia, by an almost unanimous vote, not to per mit the sale of liipior at either its town ot its country elub house. This club, said to be the largest single social organization of bicyclists In the country, sets uu example that invites imitatiuu anil at the sr.uie time widely advertises the tact t lint bicycliug is a strong deterrent to drinking intoxicants.

A Total Disability Claim of $1,650 Paid to a Clan who was Afterward Cured. Tho Monitor, a newspaper published at Moafonl (Int..

Civilization's advance is responsiblo for a remarkable change of habits in more than one wild animal. A fa miliar instance is that of the kea, the great New Zealand parrot, which was formerly esteemed as a friend to the farmer, but which has become a dreaded scourge on account of its ac quired taste for the kidney fat of sheep. Dr. Schouland mentions the chacma baboon as a Cape Colony ani mal that has become similarly trans formed. It has taken to killing lambs for the milk with which they have filled their stomachs, and it is in creasing to au alarming extent on ac count of its wariues'i and the protec tion and natural foou afforded by the fast-spreading prickly pear. Another South African example is the so-called "wet-got spreouw" (Spreo bicolor). This auimnl is now very destructive to fruit, which a few years ago it was never known to touch, its food consist ing chiefly of insects. The Maauhaar jackal seems to have partially acquired a new liking. AVhile its ordinary food is insects, and Dr. Schouland has been unable to find auything else in its stomach, farmers in certain dis tricts possibly where man has re duced its food insist that it is very destructive to small stock. A Fortune In a ltroken Ktatue. A citizen of Kharhoff, KuBsia,receut ly purchnsed a statue of Apollo Delve dere, which one of his clulilreu Boon afterward overturned and broke. Out of its hollow interior rolled a little bundle, which, on being opened, was found to contain Kussian banknotes to the value of three thousand roubles, to gether with a declaration by one Chevalier Irionun I'rokheroff, to the effect that the money contained in the handkerchief was the proceeds of his gambling transactions, aud was do signed to build a church. The slip bore a date in the year 1810. It is supposed therefore that the owner died suddenly, aud thus was unable to carry out his pious design. Hew York In bune.
