THE RUSSIAN CENSORSHIP. Very Strict Measures Against For- olarn Correspoadenta. Some interesting glimpses of the working of tbe Russian censorship, which was maintained even against French journalism during President Pa-nre's recent visit, are given in a let- ter from the special correspondent of tbe London Daily News in St. Peters- burg: \Calling at a news agency after the review, I learned that the censor bad gone back to time in the country anrl would not be back before eight o'clock, np to which boar no telegrams could be passed. This was tantamount to cut- ting off foreign correspondents from telegraphic communication with tbe rest o f the world forthe night. Tbe out- look seemed hopeless when a high Rus- sian official, who had tbe privilege of passing telegrams, kindly consented to look over mine. It was a great favor. The improvised censor objected, bow- ever, to a story about Mr. Faure's over- coat, and accordingly 1 bad to suppress it. Tie wne very sympathetic. 'I know.' he said, 'yon most be metaphorically gnashing your teeth. But I should get Into trouble for passing your telegram if there were anything objectionable i n It' One o f my French colleagues wired that Grand Duke Alexia waited half an hour' at tbe landing-stage. He was pulled up by the censor with the re- mark: 'A Russian grand duke waits for nobody.' A friend of mine was about to wire .that tbe czarina had grown slightly stronger since she was in Paris, but refrained. I stated tbe fact, and it was allowed to pass.\ Substitute for Leather. The constantly increasing cost of leather has caused tbe manufacture of many binds of material to be used as a substitute. Tbey have all disappeared quickly, as tbey could not show proper endurance. On chairs in parlor cars, smoking-car seats, carriage coverings, etc.. tbey would soon be scratched, torn. or have bolps burned in tuein by cin- ders. Recently, however.

When the grass harvest is gathered, should the barn be crowded with hay, the mouth of the chute over each stall may be covered with a board, so as to prevent hay from settling down into i t when not desired. It rarely takes long for enough of the hay to be fed out so that i t <may be uncovered again.—Fred- erick O. Sibley, in N. t. Tribune. LIVE STOCK POINTERS. The fall pig should 1 be kept by itself during tbe winter, fed well and kept warm. If food for stock is cooked at ail, it should be cooked and not simply warmed. If yonr hog is sick, a vermifuge, such as worm seed, will very likely reach the case. If you have a baiter puller, arrange the halter so that i t will choke. That will cure. The safest plan is to get rid of cattle that have swelling on the jaws. It may be lumpy jaw. Smoking and salting the meat will not kill trichinae in center of pork. Cooking alone can do that. Two litters of pigs a year, or he would tire of tbe swine business, is tbe posi- tion a noted breeder takes. Tbe farmer should manufacture meat, butter, cheese and eggs out of his grain. That is profitable farming. My hogs that died with cholera were nearly fat enough for the pork barrel, says a breeder. Fat all their lives, we suppose, that is in a diseased condition from the (beginning. When a horse begins to cough, run at the nose and have sores on him, it is probably farcy, and should be separated from the well horsea Wash sores with a three per cent, solution of carbolic acid, feed generously—but not on fat forming foods—and give a strong blood purifier.—Western Plowman. FEEDING FOR QUALITY. Bow the Flavor of Heats Can Be De- cidedly Improved. A variety of feed will produce better meat than corn alone. There isarecog* ntion of this quality of flavor in mut- ton amd pork, and the barley beef that is fed right to develop the better qual- ity of beef will in some markets com- mand a better price. That distinct im- provement in the flavor of means can be .produced by feeding certain foods, is not so well understood. The sweetest and best-flavored beef we ever ate was mainly fattened on pumpkins and Hub- bard squash, in a season, when both were very plentiful and- almost unsal- able. Tbey were fed to fattening cowe, without grain, tbe sugar in the Hubbard squash supplying the place of starch. We have heard that tbe bagasse from, sugar cane, after most of its sweet has been extracted, makes an excellent quality of beef when i t is fed to fatten- ing cattle. Undoubtedly tbe same re- sult comes from feeding rich corn en- silage, made from corn put in silo when it was in the earing stage. It is not merely the succulence of this feed, but also the fact that it contains sugar, which is much more digestible than starch, that makes the beef made by feeding corn in this succulent stage better and sweeter than it is when it is fed'after the sugar has been changed to starch,—Rural World. Obeannea* of Flas Seed. Considering its nutritive value flax- seed i s now a cheaper f»ed than almost any other grain. . But i t is so concen- t rated food that only a little can be fed »ith advantage at any onetime.. We think that, farmers who do not grow flaxs.-c), as very few to the east now do. might profitably foiry some linseed menl. which for feeding purposes is >>etter than tbe whole seed, and use i t with other feeds.

Despite all that has ever been said to the contrary, tbe idea still prevails In some sections that poultry can get along and even thrive if their food is presented to them in the simplest man- ner. Tbis js a mistake. Where soft food is given, it is generally trampled upon by all tbe birds before it is fully eaten, and, in consequence, tbey are compelled CONVENIENT &®M> BOX. to devour a more or less amount o f dirt, which is usually of such a nature ae to be no good' to them. In order to avoid tbis. I would suggest that a feed box be made, having a door of slats made of laths, as shown herewith; also, on the side opposite from tte door. I should have slats, as seen from the inside o f the box. Place the food in this, shut the door, and the fowls can reach the food from each side readily between the elattf, but cannot soil jt. Furthermore, a dish of water can be set within it, and the fowls can reach through and drink, but they cannot pollute it as they other* wise would. By this device, stray cats »nd dogs have no chance of gettingat tbe food, should it happen to be of a nature palatable to them, and stealing it away from the fowls.

The best way to get a flock of etaad- •rd bred fowls is to begin in a small way and breed them up yourself. A sitting of eggs, or, better, two or three hens an,d a cock of the desired breed, may bethought for a small amount, and the begjbiiMtg IB made. Thereafter it ia only a matter of two years if eggs are bought or of one if fowls are bought, before tbe foundation of a good flock may be laid, and after that it depends wholly on judicious selection as to whether the flock be kept up t o its best or not. Where home breeding i s begun the experience acquired leads to follow- ing the best methods and tbe greatest s««cpess.-rFarmers* Voice. Llee Kill Manx Cbloka. It is known that a brood of chicks that are apparently well will suddenly begin to droop and die. especially when the weather is very warm tn sneb cases the cause i s usually lice. There may be no lice on tbe chicks when ex- amined on one day, yet in two or three days thO^e they may have the large lice on\ their heads. In the first symptoms of tiroopiness rub a drop of lard on tbe bead of each chick and dust it well witb Insect powder. Then treat the ben in the same manner, as lice go from' tbe hen to thecbicks.—Farm and Fireside.
