A Mistaken Irishman. It is said to be a peculiarity of the Island of Montserrat that the negroes speak with a rich Irish brogue. This phenomenon is explained by the fact that in the seventeenth century the col ony Avas peopled almost entirely by the Irish. In "The Cradle of the Deep" Sir Frederick Troves gives the follow ing incident illustrative of the care with which this dialect has been pre served. It is quoted from Ober. An Irishman fresh from Donegal ar rives at Monlscrrat , and leaning over the steamer's rail , addresses himself in the following terms to a coal-black negro who has come alongside with provisions : "Say. Cuffee , phwat's the chance for a lad ashore ? * ' " > - "Good , yer honor , if ye're not afraid of , wurruk. But me name's not Cuffee , nn' . pla c ye. it's Pat Mulvaney. " "Mulvaney ?

Some dairymen talk quality , some talk quantity. Few we think would ob Ject to both quantity and quality com bined. The cow that yields rich milk and lots of it is popular. The increase in the average yield of corn per acre last year amounted to only three-tenths of a bushel per acre but in the aggregate it meant an In crease of hundreds of thousands of dollars lars to the farmers. The story Is told that once a certain assessor taxed a goat at § 8 , and , when charged by the angry owner to justify the high rating , the assessor directed him to a rule which read to the effect that property a-buttlng on a certain street should be taxed $2 a foot. "We meet with some rather paradoxi cal conditions in life. For instance , the blacksmith shoes his own horse the poorest , and the carpenter lives in the plainest house ; likewise , the farmer de prives himself of the meat of the prime bullock and the sweetest flavored ap ples. Franking a few tons of garden seeds through the malls and then howling about the postal deficit has a very hu morous side if it were not so serious. If even a small fraction of the seeds were planted there might be an excuse Cor this waste , but as the matter stands the free distribution of seeds is fool ish. Some supporters of the dairy Indus try say that it's only n matter of time before we will all be dairying and the beef cow will be a thing of the past. On the other hand , the supporters of the beef industry say that the strongest nations are beef-eaters and in the end beef growing will overshadow all other farm Industries. The difference of. opin ion kind of makes one doubt the cor rectness of either assertion. We must depend more on the silo and proteinaceous forage crops and less upon the nitrogenous by-products. The results that have been attained by feedIng - Ing tender pasture grasses show that the animals need succulence during the long winter months , and this should convince us that the silo is a most val uable means of preserving the cow's winter rations. The cost of dairy feed can be very much reduced by a change In the ordinary methods of feeding. We must grow more feed on the farm. By killing insect-eating birds Amer icans are robbing posterity and per mitting an annual crop loss of $800- 000,000 , according to William Dutcher , president of the National Association Of Audubon Societies. If we permit the heritage of wild birds that still exist to be further wasted and destroy ed , wo are robbing our children , de clared Mr. Dutcher. The people , as trustees , are In honor bound to pre serve these wild birds for those that follow us. We do not wish our chil dren to feel about us as we do about our fathers , who permitted the wanton and useless extinction of the bison and the wild pigeon. In the matter of bird legislation there is no resting place ; the only price of satisfactory bird pro tection is eternal watching of legis latures , for in an unguarded moment an amendment may be passed that will indo the work of years. Povrer of Plant Life. The power of the ordinary plantain leaf is well Illustrated in an article in the "Strand Magazine" by a writer who constructed a pitch floor as follows : The ground was scraped , and then a 8-inch layer of sand was spread over It , and on this sand a 2-iuch layer of soft roofing pitch was placed. This had been down for several weeks when we noticed one part of the pitch break ing open like a miniature volcano. On examination we found some green shoots coming through the pitch. The shoots continued to grow in spite of 3ie great heat caused by the sun shinIng - Ing on the black surface of the pitch. They finally assumed a flourishing con dition. It should be added that before flying the sand a sheet of heavy tar paper covered the ground. The As a farm fowl , Leghorns are one of the best of breeds ; but to have iiem at their best , and doing their ) est , give them unlimited range. Many farm wives are so situated that to make eggs their farm stock In trades 0 much easier than to market fowls. Under light condition * and farm life ' is one of the best of "right conditions for Leghorns eggs will always be In abundance. For one's own satisfaction If nothing more , it will be wise td cull out the Inferior looking specimens when such appear among the season's hatches. In this manner the flock Is yearly improving In quality and gen eral beauty , and in a little time "eggs for hatching , " as well as eggs for mar ket will become a paying feature of the farm's enterprises. Incubators will come and brooders for rearing the chicks , possibly , at first , hens of any and every obtainable breed or mixture 01' breeds will be In demand as incu bators and brooders for the chicks. One may keep such hens themselves , or , better still , purchase them of neigh bors when wanted , and not be troubled with their presence on the place ex cept when absolutely needed. For they mar the appearance , more or less , of one's flock of pure bred birds of one color. Tonics. A stock tonic is not a medicine , * cure , a remedy , but an aid to the di gestive and assimilative processes oi nutrition. It Is thus a preventive of disease. A rightly compounded stool ; tonic simply supplies the animal arti ficially with certain necessary elements for the perfect regulation of the proc ess of nutrition , just as does the sup plying of salt in the same way. Note that we say rightly compounded tonic. For either an excess or a lacl $ of certain ingredients depreciates thq value of a tonic , Just as an incorrectly balanced feed lowers its nutritive value. There is no secret about the com ? position of the well known stock tonics. Indeed , most states have laws requiring that the ingredients of the contents ba plainly printed on every package. The exact proportion of certain ele ments differ in different brands , but the approximate proportions are known to most stockmen , or can be obtained from the national department of agrii culture or from the different experi ment stations. The question then arises , Why cannot a farmer moke his pwn tonics ? H'j can , just as he can make his own cloth * ing , if he can spend the time , get the correct proportions and accomplish the most effective combination. For it must be remembered that the right amount'of each material simply put to gether In some sort of a way does not make a suit of clothes no more does i\ \ make an effective stock tonic. Xot only must the proportions be correct , but thq condition of each ingredient must bo right and its consistency such that itj will properly blend with all the others , The makers of stock tonics have thq proportions and the proper consistency of the elements dovm fine and the thrifty stockmen knows that he is not only buying the right material in a reputable stock tonic , but he is also buying the right skill and experience it takes to compound the tonic correctly. Firm Liand Prices. One of the incidents of the late finan cial panic is the firmness with whict land values have passed through a na tional crisis. In other paics of 1857 , 1ST3 and 3893 prices of real estate de clined both in rural districts and great cities. Prices for farm products ruled lower , rents reacted and the earning ability of real estate investmeals de clined. While industrial Investments Siiow largely decreased earnings for the past eighteen months , the Income from ag ricultural lands has enlarged through increased production and higher prices for farm products. There has been a larger migration from the cities to the country , of people out of employment who had formerly worked at industrial production. The weakness of skilled professions as compared with hus bandry is evidenced by the great army of unemployed that is compelled to ac cept enforced idleness through the dull ness of Industrial enterprises. The independence insured by the ownership of country homes and the certainty of living incomes from small farms is turning the attention of many inhabitants of cities to the advantages of farm life as compared to the uncer tainty of employment In great cities. The demand for small holdings is breaking up the big ranches and sparse ly settled districts are becoming rap idly densely populated by immigrants and energetic people who are striving for an independent living. The vast areas that are being re claimed by irrigation are being sub divided Into small farms and will be operated under a system of scientific cultivation. Rev. Mr. Dedrich has set the example of what can be achieved on a small farm by purchasing fifteen acres and incurring a debt of several thousand dollars near Philadelphia , and operating the small farm with a dairy. He liquidated the mortgage from the Income of the fifteen acres , and demon strated that small farms intelligently managed are ample to support large families. Farm lands are steadily advancing In value. There is no method to en large the area of farm land except by reclamation of swamps and arid dis tricts , while population Is steadily in creasing and the domestic consumption of agricultural products broadening an nually. Under present conditions good farm land is destined to increaii to valut. Goodall's Farmer. ETO KE.ED TO TAKE CHANCES. There IK a Snre IV ay of 'Good I'u tut Material. There is really no need whatever for any property owner to take chances in the selection of his paint materials. It dnt'S'fr cost a cent to learu how to le ; on ilie safe side.

The outfit includes a book of color schemes , for either interior or exterior painting , a book of specifica tions , and a simple little instrument , with directions for testing the purity of paint materials. Birds on ID ma \VInsrw. . In the attempt to disc-over some uni versal law of bird flight , scientists have disclosed concerning u number of species a most puzzling paradox , per haps the most mysterious of the enigmas that the subject presents. It is that in a number of birds and in sects the size of the wings decreases in proportion to the Increase in size of the body of the flying creature. The Australian crane , for instance , weighs over 300 times more than the sparrow , but in proportion has only one-seventh the wing area of the smaller bird. This curious fact Is equally striking if we compare birds with insects. If the gnat were increased in size until It was as large as the Australian crane and if the wings of the insect were en larged to maintain the proportion they now bear to its body , they would be about 150 times larger than the crane's. It requires 3.G2 square feet of wing area per pound to float the bank swallow , but to sustain the tawny vul ture , a monstrous bird in comparison , requires only .08 of a square foot of wing surface per pound of body. The albatross , weighing eighteen pounds , has a spread of 11 feet 6 inches , while the trumpeter swan , weighing twenty- eight pounds , has a spread of wing of only S feet. The stork weighs eight times more than the pigeon , but in pro portion has only half as much wing surface. . Heredity.

Aaron Bancroft , the father of the historian , was a Massachusetts clergy man who revolted against the Calvinism of the day. 'The young minister found himself held at arm's length by the sur rounding clergy. In "The Life and Letters of George Bancroft" M. A. De\V. Howe quotes the following Item from the old minister's "Memoranda" : An honest but not very intelligent farmer of my parish , some ten ycarfc ago. accosted me In this manner : "Well , Mr. Bancroft , what do you think the people of the old parish say of you now ? " I answered , "I hope something very good. " "They say , 'If we find fault with him he does not mind it at all : and if we praise him he does not mind it. but keeps steadily on his own way : we therefore have concluded that it is best to let him alone. ' " The farmer mentioned the fact as a subject of laughter , but I thought , and still think that , taking the declaration in its bearimrs. it was the prettiest compliment I have received through my whole life. i PIVE MONTHS IN' HOSPITAL.
