In these days of steam's

American civilization it is curious to
find a regularly-established ferry

These modern galley slaves are not
chained lo their oars, it is true, but,
they are unwilling prisoners, who
toil from dawn to dusk and from
dusk to nearly midnight for no other
pay than the coarse clothes they
wear and the cheap food their official
masters furnish them.
This ferry is one of those which
the commissions of charities and
on operate between the public
institutions on and the
city. It runs from the workhouse
dock two-thirds of the way up
island, across the East
river t a little boat landing at the
foot of East Seventy-eighth street.
The boat leaves the island every
hour from six in the morning until
eleven at night, and after making
its land returns at It is a
very picturesque little ferry, and
when the tide is running races
through the deep, narrow channel
the voyage is one apt to bring a
flush the cheek of a nervous pas-
used to the steady safety of
steam transportation.
The boat is a long, heavy hull,
of anything but grace. It is
operated by six stalwart, rowers
from the workhouse, chosen for their
weight and muscle, for they have to
contend with the stiffest tides which
flow about Manhattan island, now
that the perils of Hell Gate have
been removed. They wear the
coarse, gray uniform of the work-
house, and in stormy weather don
picturesque yellow oilskins and fore
and aft cap.
A keeper in uniform and brass
buttons commands the craft and sits
in the stern with one hand on the
tiller. No grizzled sea captain ever
handled his tiller with more lordly
air than the commander of the work-
house ferry, or delivered his orders
in sterner and more emphatic tones
than ho. It is a joy to witness the

galley slaves lean over and put all
their muscle into the hearty strokes.

The snow was deep, and it was too

big city was up yet but himself.

grocer's shop at the foot of the court
was missing.
should think it was not morn-
if I did not said Chester
to himself.
The wind blew so hard, and it was
so cold and so dark, that he
eluded to go back and wait until the
shop was open. He did not whistle
on his way back. He was cold, and
his short ached pushing through
the snow; and the court was so lonely
with its two rows of high tenement
houses looking gigantic in the flick-
light. It was very very
hard on him, Chester thought, to be
obliged to go to the grocer's twice
such a morning.
It was a kitten's cry, and half
smothered and half frozen Chester
thought the poor thing was by
the faint, cracked voice.
Chester swung his lantern this way
and that, wondering where the little
thing could be. Nothing but the
unbroken snow could be seen. Ho

the snow move not far from him,
and the poor, little, cracked
came nearer.
Chester stooped down with
tern close to the ground and walked
toward the moving snow. Suddenly

out a mite of a Maltese kitten.
The look the mite gave him went
straight to his heart. He gave
a shake to get rid of the snow, and
popped her up on his shoulder,
where she clung with all her might.
When Chester opened the door
into the kitchen sister Emma was
standing before the clock, her hands
half outstretched and with a very
surprised face.

before it was morning and go out
and find this said Emma,
when she had heard the story.
The next time Chester went to
the grocer's the familiar light was
in the window, and lights here and
there in back windows, and early
risers here and there in street at
the head of the court, and Chester
found that he had started out at
three o'clock instead of four.

The next day Emma sat at her
sewing, and Darkness
was jumping up and being put down,
in a most trying manner. At last,
Emma threw a spool to get rid of
kitty. Kitty liked that, and in
minute or two thought she would
like another; so she jumped up on
the table, pushed a spool out with
her paw, rolled it over the edge of
the table, and jumped down after it.
This was such fun that she came
back and pawed out another spool,

it a spiteful dab and turned It upside

Emma had been watching curious-
to see this cunning kitty-play,
and she laughed softly when the
basket capsized and made a prisoner

would do next.
What she did next was to keep as

it with great interest, then waved

Darkness woke up
with a start, and in a great fright
set up her back and hissed at the

room.
Emma caught sight of kitty, and
seizing her in her arms hugged her
and laughed over her until she cried.
Chester noticed when he came
home that night how lightly Emma's
feet stepped over the floor and how
easily she smiled when she talked;
kept smiling she wasn't saying
anything to smile at.

Can Be Circumvented.
It may safely be assumed that the

by putting the express car the
last in the train Have alarm bells
in each coach and sleeper, which can
be rung by the express messenger
when he Is directed or requested, at
this unusual time and place, to open
the door of his car. In each coach
and sleeper have, in a glass front
case, similar to those now in use for
and saw, two repeating shot-
guns, each magazine containing five
buckshot cartridges, thus giving
from six to twelve most effective
weapons into the hands of the train
crew and passengers. The alarm
bells should be electric, though it is
believed that the ordinary cord bell
could be made to serve the
pose.
When the messenger sounds his
tocsin of war, there would soon be a
sufficient force of brave men at the
express car to give the robbers a
warm welcome. For the latter to
cover the engine cab and each door

would require a force of men too
great in numbers to make
profitable. Besides, the
greater number of accomplices or
principals, the greater the chances
of capture and the possibilities of

Under such an arrangement in the
make-up of a train, should the rear
or express car be the sole point of
attack, then the first step would be
to cut this car loose from the train,
and then loot it. The automatic air
brake would give the alarm to the
engineer, and he, in turn, lo the
coaches; or, better still, the con-
electric wire could be so
ranged as to -sound the alarm when
the car parted from the I rain.
Should the engine, as in the past, be
the first point of attack, then the
crew and passengers have
advantage of being between the
forces of robbers, and, with every
probability, can throw the greater
number in the tight, and,
like, repulse or defeat in detail.

English drinker's partiality for beer
and the Scotch and the Irish drink

shown.
When these amounts are convert

we see that Ireland consumes least
1.4 gallons per head, Scotland
comes next with and England
heads the list with 2.13 gallons of
alcohol for each man, woman

curious and undesigned coincidence,
is just under one ounce a day per

The planting season is again at hand and the
question that is of most interest to you is what
shall T plant, where shall I plant it, and how
shall I plant it. After what to plant j
and to plant, it equally as much
how yon plant and cultivate. From past
experience it is conceded by all that no land
will make a good crop unless properly
and that a judicial use of commercial Fer-
pays on the lands in this section. It is
with much pleasure and satisfaction that we offer
for sale the following High Grade and Reliable
Brands of Fertilizers named below. The past
results from their use being endorsed by the
leading farmers in this section justify us in say-
they are all well adapted to our soil. We
will sell for cash or on time upon usual terms,
and we believe we can give you a better grade
of goods as cheap or cheaper than you can buy
elsewhere. We otter for your consideration
and choice the following well established brands

State and has been thoroughly tested. We can

what their absence would be worth

A correspondent you

or that we could use as a cure
numbers of hogs ore dying here

any remedy or a The
answer to this in substance
There are preventive measures which
may be used and which may ward off
the disease in a large number of cases.
Indeed, some breeders claim to lie able
to cure cholera if they can get to the
animals before the appetite is gone, but
not after food is refused. This remedy
or preventive is carbolic acid. How little
will or how much the patient
can bear I am not informed, but about
drops would be a dose for an adult
and less for younger swine.
The better way to feed and
medicine with food would be to
pare all food immediately before feed-
stir as much medicine as needed
for the pigs being fed. Then clean up
and disinfect afterward. Clean all
foul places to which pigs have access.
Keep sleeping places warm and dry.
Try to prevent buzzards from visiting
pig runs and feeding places. Bury the
dead, or better cremate dead
disinfect with carbolic or so-
or with a cheap solution made
by suspending a coarse bag containing
pounds of
in a barrel of soft water. After a little
time the solution can be used as wanted
more water added until the cop-
is gone from the bag.
The health of the pig may be pro-
by keeping a mixture, made as
follows, where the pigs can get i. at

salt. peck charcoal. This recipe might
lie extended by adding lb.
lb. black antimony and I lbs.

The or Heel Fly.
One of the most destructive pests of
domestic animals is the ox-warble or
botfly, This para-
site, while probably not very painful to
the animal infested, is expensive to the
owner of the animal since hides or
skins showing warble holes are docked
one-third of their value. The presence
of the maggots further decreases the
amount and quality of the animal's
flesh so that on the for a two
year-old steer, the loss is apt to be
above or
The fly which causes this damage is
about the size of and very much re-
a honey bee. It deposits its
eggs in spring, during the period of
shedding of hair, on the legs, tail and
belly of cattle, preferably By
licking these parts the eggs are taken
into the animal's gullet where the mag-
got hatches and clings to the walls. It
soon bores into the tissues and
the succeeding fall or
its way to the animal's
back where it forms a tumor just be-

Influence of the Moon.
The people here in my country are governed
by the moon in nearly all they lo. They
even wilt not make kraut, nor the old women
will not make the sign Is right.
Hears must be slaughtered or colts weaned ac-
cording to the moon. Please give any
or cite me to literature upon the above
c H. I. Farmers, N. C
by H. B. Battle, Director N. C.
Experiment
The belief that the moon has some
upon the growth of crops and
various other deeds of men is wide-
spread in certain regions. There can
be no reasonable claim that the moon
does really influence any thing upon
the earth in this way, and such
doubtless have descended from
our ancestors, who thought very much
more of natural objects and their
effect upon their actions than we in
this day. one reason why
this idea obtained credence is that
formerly those who considered such to
be the case were very observant and
very careful in their work, and hence
necessarily were more such
being the case they believed more than
before as to the cause of their success
and telling others of it caused them
also to become firm believers.
To give an illustration of this belief,
one part of the country may think that
a certain phase of the moon indicates
dry weather, whereas in other pa of
the country, others may believe that it
portends wet weather, or these
may be entertained by different parties
in the same region. Of course it is
possible for these various results to
cur at the same place and at the same
time.
Feeding; Cotton-Seed

1.000 pounds weight this winter. Here is what
they are being fed. I would be pleased to have
your opinion on It. The first two weeks I had
ground together corn and wheat, one bushel
of each, and now take two bushels corn and
one bushel wheat them two and a half
bushels of this on top of eight s smooth
wheat chaff in the morning, then all the cut
corn fodder they will eat. At noon
two and a half bushels mixture with chuff
and in the evening two and a half bushels mix-
as before, with chaff followed by as much
out corn fodder as they will eat- Access to
water twice a day. All are and
loose. I herewith enclose the small circular
rank of feeding values. Would also like
to have your opinion of the cotton seed meal
and hull business. If it as good as they say.
It would pay to use It- Corn is worth here
cents per bushel; wheat. cents; oil meal

opinion on how I can make the most on

I find there is some
in the circular. For instance, the
figures given for cotton seed meal and
hulls are the extreme highest ones
found in a large number of analyses.
They represent composition and not
digestibility--two very different con-

You can not go far wrong feeding a
good grain with coarse by-pro-

than cotton seed hulls. Your
wheat chaff also worth more than
the hulls. Make your own comparisons
to price.
Now for your ration. It is too wide
in the rat of protein to carbohydrates.
I would not advise you to change your
proportion, of two corn to one of
Wheat but to feed only pounds of
it per day mixed with pounds of
cotton seed no-U- VA .
aw give stover the

I have assumed that this chaff
weighs pounds per bushel,
pounds daily and that the steers
would eat pounds of stover daily.
This ration would be about the stand-
ard for pounds live It
requires lbs. less of corn and wheat
mixture per day; or putting the
pounds of cotton seed meal in place of
of the mixture saves IDS pounds per
day and the steers are being fed a fat-
ration. Even if does not
seem to be increasing their weight so
fast, it to make flesh at a cheaper
rate per pound, hence a more
ration.
The change from mixture of corn and
wheat to to of corn to of wheat
only changes the protein 0.8 pound,
the 0.6 pound and fat
0.76 per day in the whole
for steers. It is. however, a
change in the right direction from

Oats cut while yet early in the milk

food compounds will then be
largely distributed in the leaves and

these compounds to the grain carries
much from those parts which remain
