What a SKouave is. £— A local character in war times was interested in the formation of a local militia company. lie and otheis dis cussed it much, and public opinion was about equally divided as to whether they should have a straight military company or zouaves. One day a conversation occurred in the village store. ••I'm in favor of zouaves. ” said our friend. • You be?” ••Sure.” | "Well, what is a zouave, anyway?” "Well a zouave, you see a zouave is one of them fellers that wears a red j suit and them soft boot* that buttons up to his knees.

There ere several results to he gained by thoroughly pulverizing the soil before planting the seed. If thin la done. In nearly all oases the seed will germinate quicker and better, and plants will make a thriftier start In growth. A certain amount of heat and moisture is necessary In induce a good germination of the seed, and In a ma jority of cases this can be secured by placing it in contact with the soil, and a fine tilth will help materially In this. Then when the soli Is in good tilth the fine tender roots of the plants will be better able to uenetrate the soil to adran&ge. One of the principal advantages gained In pulverizing the soil Is that the plant food is brought into a more available condition for the use of the plants and this helps materially in se curing a better growth. Iu many cases, even in a hln cropped down soil, a much better growth and yield can*be secured if the soil is pre part'd in a tine tilth before growing the seed, and kept so during growth by frequent cultivation, than would other wise in- possible. By bringing the soil to a good tilth before planting, it is easier to keep it in a good tilth after wards while tlie plants will make a vigorous start to grow. Thoroughly flniug the soil aids it to retain moisture as well as to draw it from the sub-soil by capillary attrac tion. wnuo iair crops may oe grown m a rich soil with Indifferent preparations, the host growth and yield is only pos sible by having the soil in a line tilth before planting the seed, and as far as possible keeping it in such condition during growth. With nearly all cultivated crops one of the best plans of management is to plow reasonably deep, prepare the soil in a good tilth before planting the seeds, and then keep it thoroughly so during growth, by shallow surface cultivation. This puts the available plant food in a good condition to be taken up by the growing plants, and helps materially in supplying the nec essary moisture. The more uioroughly the soli is pre pared before planting, the less work will be necesSary to keep In a good afterwards, hence, it Is good economy to take time to prepare perfectly be fore planting the seeds, and it will be less work to maintain a good growth. To Destroy Csssds Thistles. The following modes of dealing with Canada thistles are recommended by the Ohio Agricultural Experiment Sta tion: 1. Drop out of the rotation, so far ts practicable, all such crops as allow the thistle seeds to ripen before these ire cut, until infested uelds have been dealt with. 2. Plow the land Immediately after harvest. Plow shallow with any kind of plow that will cut the thistles off uiean without breaking off the creep ing rootstocks. Keep the thistles front breathing above ground until rite late lutumn plowing, which should be deep, for the sake of the crop which Is to come after. In the spring keep the thistles under by the use of a suitable cultivator, until the time of planting a crop of corn, roots or rape. Give the crop thus planted tho horse-hoeing nec essary. once or twice after the horse cultivation ceases, and there should not bo one thistle left. The most ef fective part of the work has been done the preceding autumn, providing the weather at that time has been dry. Flow the ground deeply in Au eust. Sow rye early in September at the rate of two and one-half to three bushels per acre, and cut the following spring fOr winter fodder. Then plow the ground deeply with any kind of plow that will effectually bury the stubbles. The jointer with skimmer will answer very welll. Then roll at once to conserve the moisture. Har row once a week until it is time to drill the ground for rape. Drill about the last of June or first of July by us ing the double mold board plow. The drills may be twenty-two to twenty four inches apart Sow at once with rape by using the ordinary turnip drill, and then cultivate and care for as de scribed In section 2 above. In our ex perience at this farm we have found this mode of destroying the Canada thlhtle to be very effective. 4. Plow under pasture lnnd in June, or laud from which a crop of hay has been removed early In July. Work the land thus plowed upon the surface, so that all thistles will be kept under until the time of sowing winter wheat. Sow the wheat with clover and re peat the process is necessary, after having cut one. two or three crops of the clover. This method is applicable to stiff soils, where winter wheat can be grown. In sections where winter wheat will not grow substitute for it rye, spring wheat or barley, as may oe uesireo. 5. Where the laud has been sown to clover, out the crap twice for hay or once for hay nnd once for seed. ‘Then follow with a hoed crop properly cul tivated. The smothering Influences of the two crops of clover In one season, and then two cuttings, are very help ful in reducing the thistle. 0. When the thistles are well brought under they should be kept so by the use- of the spud. The grain ‘fields should be gone over before havest to prevent the thistles from blossoming, and after harvest the meadows and Adds sown to grass. .7. In removing thistles from per manent pastures, we must lie gov erned by the character of the soil and subsoil as to our mode of procedure. Mistakes ef Stockmen. Farmers and especially stock raisers often fall because the proprietor at tempts to do everything himself. He works early and late, is always worn out: consequently nothing is well done. On a large stock farm two hired men can be profitably used. It Is Impera tive that the stock be looked after at Bight, especially during spring months when young animals are being oon ; stantly bom. No one man can do all ; this work, neither can a man work all i day and part or most of the night as i the case may require. Arrange the : work so that if the hired man stays up with a sick animal, a farrowing sow. etc., he can the next day get time to make tip lost deep, otherwise he will be in no condition to do his work thor 1 oughly and skillfully. Of all the men about a farm, the proprietor or gen eral manager needs the most rest In planning the day, work he needs a clear head. He’ice It Is necessary to success to hare some one to do night work. Usually seven or eight hours is sufficient for a mature man. Boys under twenty-tire require more. It la only by giving strict attention to the demands of nature that the stockman's powers can be used to the best advan tage. ' A Frefieit Mistake la F«e4l»f. When on unusually long Journey is to be undertaken, it is customary, with many people, to give an extra quan tity of grain immediately prior to start ing, and It may be to subjects indif ferently fed, and Irregularly exercised, or, In other words, those In poor con dition. Even though precaution is tak en in driving slowly, we often find, as veterinary surgeons, that such Is the history of cases we are called upon to treat of horses suffering from that frequently fatal affection. After Journeys of unusual length, or exertion of any kind, the same dan ger is to be encountered from the fa tigue resulting, and consequent inabil ity on the part of the digestive organs to operate upon an ordinary feed of grain, much less an inordinate one, which is only too frequently provided under such circumstances. A horse iu a tired state is more safe ly fed on hay until rest has been al lowed for from half an hour to two hours; for all they will be likely to consume of this more easily digested fodder will not so readily overtax the stomach. When much depression has resulted from fatigue, a pail of thin gruel will soon revive the animal, on account of its being readily absorbed and getting into the blood, and being nutritious in character as well.—Cana dian Live Stock Journal. The Itew Onto* Culture. The new onion culture, as it is called, sowing seeds In a hotbed and trans planting, is certainly not a new idea. In California the Chinese have long grown onions on this plan. They do not use hotbeds, of course, as all hardy vegetables grow outdoors the year round in California. They sow the seed thinly in beds in the field, and transplant to the permanent grounds when the plants are about the size of pipe stems. Where the Chinese got the idea it is difficult to say; they have probably grown onions that way in China for hundreds of years. As to the advantages of this plan, that is a problem to be solved by cir cumstances. It is’doubtful if there is a saving of labor. Getting down to figures, there are i 100,000 onion plants on an acre, and j there is a vast amount of labor in volved in putting them out; on the j other hand, there lo a great deal of : labor involved weeding the onions iu the field, until they get to the size at which they are transplanted. It is probable that the real advan tage of this new culture is, not in re ducing the cost of production, but in earliness, and thus getting better prloes. Those who grow onions by this method should market them before the j general crop is ready for market. | Sweet Cream Butter. i If any one prefers sweet cream but- ! ter he can have it by making it him- | self or by having it made. Of the many million pounds of butter made in Iowa creameries each year, not a pound is made from sweet cream ex cept as an experiment. The public taste still calls for that from ripened cream. There Is a small private de mand for sweet cream butter, and at a fancy price. But most of the fancy article is still made from ripened oream. It is easy at this time of year to experiment on making butter from sweet cream. Churn at a lower tem perature than when sour. Have it be low 00 deg. or there will be loss of fat. Use more butter color also, as sweet cream butter has less color as well as less aroma. Experiments at the Iowa station Indicate that it will ripen after churning and in time become practically identical with that made from ripened cream. The advocates of sweet cream butter are very strenu oua in their claims, and quite irapa tient with the mass of butter makers, ] but the general market still discrimi nates against butter made entirely from sweet cream. Value of Inquiring;. '•> j Feeding is often done at random. Tbe food supply Is used without refer ence to its adaptation to the needs of the animal. This exhibits a lack of thoughtful inquiry. Every young man by asking questions and by read ing books and papers, acquires a con siderable fund of information which is capital In his business of general farm ing or raising lire 'stock. It is by the proper use of the long evenings at this time of the year that his foundation for future success is laid. It is like-, wise true that the middle-aged man' by the same course maintains Us strength of purpose and is able to hold Us own with improved conditions. In the past* there are many examples of men who have succeeded grandly by their own thoughts and plans, and the knowledge they have picked up by diligent use of the means at their disposal. Rtpenlnc the Cream. I believe there is nothing so impor tant and yet difficult in producing first class butter as the process ol ripening the cream. It is impossible almost to have all of the conditions twice alike. Some patron's cream may have been a little sour, wUch, when mixed with the rest, of course, hastens the ripening process. If the butter maker Is not aware of tills sour cream it will be ready for the churn before he Is ready for it. therefore the quality of the butter must be more or less Im paired. This is oue of the many in stances where the butter maker has to contend with difficulty. If cream ery patrons would only co-operate with the butter maker what a differeuce there would be in the general quality of butter throughout the country. Always C«^ry * Jack-Knife. The usefulness of carrying a sharp jack-kuffe was shown the other day in a Lewiston. Me., mill, when a young woman's hair came tumbling down as she passed a heavy piece of machinery and the ends of it caught in some slowly revol vingcogwheels. The girl screamed, but did uot have the presence of mind to break away at once before more strands of her hair were caught and dragged in. She stood there holding out her arms and screaming, while her head was drawn nearer and nearer to the fatal wheels. Then up came a man with a sharp jack-knife. He compassed the hair, of the girl within his left hand and held it firmly as he might a rope and with the other hand severed the hair close to the wheels. A Fishy Detective. A British ship bound for the West Indies once fell in with a suspicions looking craft having the appearance of a slave-trader and gave chase During the pursuit something was thrown over board from the pursued vessel, which was captured and taken into Port Boyal to be examined. The ship's papers were not forthcoming, and the vessel was in a fair way to escape condemnation, when a ship came into port which had caught a shark, in whose stomach was a tin box containing the missing pa pers. These clearly showed that the captured craft was engaged in the slave trade, and proper punishment was meted out to her officers. The tin box which the shark swallowed is now in the museum at Whitehall Yard, Lon don. The Anglomaniacs. The habit of turning1 up the trousers an iuch or two at the ankle has become almost second nature among the mem bers of a certain class of anglomaniacs in Mew York. The condition of the weather makes no difference with them. One young man of unmistakable English bearing attracted an unusual amount of attention to himself at a re ception in one of the Fifth avenue pal aces the other uight by appearing on the. floor of the ball room with his well pressed black trousers turned up snugly around his ankles, lie subsequently explained that he had turned them up from force of habit, and had forgotten to turn them down before descending from the dressing room. Balt In Angling. A scientific paper tells of a new flaw ing device whereby the minnow used for bate in angling for large fish is kept alive and safe from the predatory deni zens of the deep, who strike at it, but catch hooks instead. It is incased in a glass tube, through which the water circulates freely. The application is new, but the idea of carrying bait in a bottle is as old as angling is. There is one improvement to be noted, as under the old plan the bait whs sure to give out sooner or later, depending on the size of the bottle and the ardor of the fisherman. Wouldn't Hava Believed It. “ You would scarcely take my daugh ter—Baby, we call her, to be twenty one years old, would you?” said a fond mother, speaking of her spinster-look ing child!. “No, indeed, I should not,” was the reply. “So every one says. But how old would you have imagined her?” “Oh, I don’t know exactly, though if I had been gussing her age, I should have said she was about thirty three and a half, or may be three quarters. One can’t always tell within a month or two, you know. A WORKINGMEN'S BUILDING. Hovel enterprise at St. Lonla—Elabor ate Arrangements for the Exposition. St. Louis, Mo., March 18.—There is no city in the United States that has a building' of any importance whatever devoted entirely to the uses of work ingmen and owned by them. St. Louis is to have one very soon. The lodges and unions of the city have discovered that they are paying to the owners of the various halls in which they hold their meetings something like 930,000 a year in rent, and they are tired of it. The ruling rate of in terest here is eight per cent. The workingmen could pay the interest on 9300,000 with the money they now spend for rent. That is the way they look at i(, and the contemplation of the fact has driven them to the decis ion to build a hall to cost about 8250, 000 and pay for it by the rent charged the organizations that use it. As all the building trades are supporters of the plan the building will probably be erected without delay, the idea being now to finish it this year. A new charity nas been established in St. Louis on such a broad founda tion that its success is guara nteed. 11 has been found that some of the chil dren in the public schools were so in sufficiently fed that it was useless to expect them to study. They were sent off in the morning with a scanty break fast and no lunch, and got only a little I to eat at night. A plan to help these families was at once put into opera- j tion, in charge of the Provident Asso ciation. Agents were sent around to the homes of all the school children who were inadequately clothed and fed, and systematic relief was pro vided for the heads of the families. The plan was suggested first a month ago, and the principals of the schools rejmrt that it has resulted in a great increase of pupils and much more satis factory work. The charity will be made a permanent one, and it has as surance of strong financial support. There has been already a rush of ex hibitors to the Exposition, which opens In September, and the management has been forced to warn those who in tend to make displays that they must choose their position at once, if at all. j The many new attractions of the Ex position have been so thoroughly ad vertised all over the country that the managers expect ten times as many people as came last year, and all the railway arrangements will be made accordingly. The art galleries and the exhibits of electrical wonders will be especially alluring. Director Sousa's famous Marine Band of Washington, which for years has divided the honors with Gilmore, will furnish the music, beginning the first night of the Ex position. There will be two great pageants while the Exposition lasts, the Veiled Prophet's parade, and the ! Columbian procession, and considerin'^ the sight-seers these will draw, besides those who come for the Exposition alone, the hotels and boarding-house 1 keepers of the city do not think they ! are to° sanguine in making their ar j rangements to accommodate half a I million people during .the mouths of | September and October. serious facts a,o^ WUch HwmjT ~~~ ■ssrtSSSss BSJfiSiSaS «J«ry physician, S£TK.tK££?’. tnnu ssssw'srsS irrIUU,. ol .hft* " caused by the continu^T* prepared with theaCo^ piepowders, are fa^C£ tice of every physician. * It as not possible that on. housewife, any loving £5 Icnowingly use an articled will injure the health of L or^rhaps cause the death, .
