Overfeeding pip-(lures worse results
than not feeding enough. If fowls di
not eat rapidly, 01' scarcely eat any a;
all, it is an indication of overfeeding.
and the remedy is to stop feeding 11115
til the hens get hungry, It is a mis:
take to feed hens three times a day—
not only this, but it is a mistake to
give them all the breakfast they will
eat. From one-half to two—thirds of :1
vmeal in the morning. and a full meal
at night, gives me the best results in
eggs, This equally applies to fowls;
confined in breeding pens and fowls
running at large.
.When fowls are confined, they must
be furnished with grit, green food,
lime and a dust bath, and many things
may be added. Old plaster, dry, is a
good substitute for .both grit and lime.
as arecrushed oyster shells.
twice-a-week ration is meat scraps,
and crushed bone meal or granulated
bone. One of the most important
things is.a scratching shed, as the hens
must be kept busy,'and also happy.
and if they are thus provided for and
furnished with clean straw and chaff.
they will be both busy and happy, if
not overfed.
' _ Fert:ll..ers.
Special fertilizers differ from ordi-
nary brands usually by having a large:
quantity of the elements of plant food
and in 1'. form which experience has
shown to be best adapted to the crop.
Special potato fertilizers contain two
or three times as much potash as or-
dinary superphosphates, and in many
,of them sulphate of potash only is
used, as this form generally gives bet-
ter resultson potatoes than does mu-
riate of potash. The special fertilizer
is therefore a high grade compound as
contrasted with lower grade goods.
Sometimes misleading names are
used, however. But a straight high
grade or special fertilizer usually. gives
more actual plant food for a dollar
than low grade goods, and for that
reason they are preferred by many of
the most experienced farmers in the
use of fertilizers

So I let him plow the corn up in

A New Vegetable. _
,Asparagus Pea has long been known
to botanists, but it is now for the first
time being introduced to our gardens
as a. plant, beautiful as a‘flower, excel-
lent as a vegetable. According to its
the plant is of neat,
spreading habit, about ten inches high,
each plant covering a circular space
two feet in diameter. The deep scan.
let o'r red flowers are borne in profu-
sion, and make a. pleasing contrast
with the light green, clover-like leaves.
The pods. borne in pairs. are two to
three inches long, with fringed wings.
The young pods are cooked like aspar-
agus, or string beans. —Ame1ican Agil-

Spices.
Jamaica has the allspice which gets
the ciedit of taking the place of many
different spices; South America re-
joices in the chile, which is used in
great quantities. Cinnamon, a small
portion of which was once held a pres-
ent which kings were glad to receive,
is a native'of Ceylon and has been
known from the most remote time. It
was'first carried to Europe by the
Arabs. Cassia bark is a. relative of
cinnamon, and is prized for flavoring
liquors and chocolate. The Malabar
coast of India funnishes the natives
with cardamom, and mustard comes
from the East Indies.
The Spice Islands have given the
world few thmgs more popular than
the dried buds of 'a tree smoked and
dried in the sun, named in Latin from
their resemblance to. a. nail, clavus,
and called by us cloves. In the same
group of, islands 3. small collection of
islands are planted entirely of nutmeg
trees. Caraway comes from the north-
ern and central parts of Europe and
Asia, is'used as flavoring in cooking
and drinks, in cheese, cakes and
bread. Sweet majoram, native to
Portugal and the East, is employed as
a. seasoning, and " capers originally
grew wild in Greece and Northern Af-
rica. Asafetiida, which has an unsa-
vory reputation among us, is highly
prized. as a condiment in Persia and
India, and is used in France—Phila-

KANSAS WORTH."
An Overproduction of Statesmen Render
Their Services Cheap.
Kansas is sufiering from an overpro
duction of brains. This announce-
ment 'will doubtless cause surprise,
for, while it was known that Kansas
had an overproduction of grain, of cy-
clones and of statesmanship—the last
not being necessarily synonymous
with an overpioduction of brains—yet
;t 11 as not suspected that intellect was
1 drug on the Topeka market. The
,. litate Legislature has show-n it, how-
ever, by passing a bill cutting'down
the salaries of State ofiicers, particu-
larly the chancellor and professors of
the State University. Good judges,
declared Senator Lewelling, could be
got for $25 a month. That is much
cheaper than they can be hired in this
State, but when a whole Common-
wealth runs to intellect cheapness of
that commodity is inevitable. This
seems to be the most serious of Kan-
tas’s afflictions. When a State pro-
duces too much corn it can stop plant-
ing, but when there is an ove1produc-
tion of intellect what check can there
be? Hereafter when Kansas opens
her mouth let no dog bark. .This in-
cludes the dogs of Egypt, for whom

London, Apill 7.—At todays sitting
of the parl.amentary South African
committee an officer from the war of-
fice p1oduced a number of letters writ-

sanction of imperial authorities. The
witness replied that his belief was bas-
ed upon private conversations which-
he had had with Dr. Jameson. The-
witness was pressed. for a.- more de—-
tailed answer, but after fencing with j
his questioner for awhile he finally 1":-
fused to give further information 011
