One of the surest Indications of Impure stock la a feathered leg.

Always avoid a fowl so blem ished, or serious trouble In this direc tion will follow before the difficulty Is entirely eradicated.

Drltit torn. One of the ways of keening sweet corn In good condition for ulng Is to dry It. The method Is very simple and easy. Only those ears should lie taken that are still In their succulent stuue If the corn has begun to harden drying It will harden It still more. It should be boiled fully as long as would lie re quired to thoroughly cook the corn on the ear. Then with a curved knife mad for cutting com from the cob, strip the grain on anil put It In an evaKirator. i uc more quickly the drying Is effected the less danger there will be of Hies laying their eggs In it. as they are apt to do when the corn Is house dried. Af ter a few hours exposure of the corn at a temperature of 1.7) to UK) degree the com can lie taken out and placed In tight bags, which should be hung up where air can reach them. Two oi three days luter tako out some of the corn. If It Is damp, heat It all over again. This dried corn, If put up right. will keep as well as If In cans. It will le tMtterthaumoHt of the canned corn thut can be bought at stores, for the latter is apt to be too old, as there Is much In crease of weight when the sweet corn approaches ripening, though It Is at the expeiiMo of delicacy of flavor and sweetness. Thin Out the Fruit. KxiMrleiiced fruit growers have time and again urged fanner to thin out the young apple on the tret's, but such advice Is not generally accepted. Mug regarded as vandalism," or waste of that which might be remunerative, yet the Massachusetts experiment station, after careful tests, keeping close ac count of the cost, as well as making a close comparison with trws thinned and not thinned, found that with apple trees there was an extra profit of one dollar by thinning, and a gnln of til cents with plum trees, besides permit ting of better facilities Oir destroying Insects nnd diseases. Good Itlue Oral Pout tire. Where you have what we call a good, solid, well-matted blue grnss pasture, thnt same land will produce at least twice the amount of feed, for the rea son that it catches the snow, holds the ralu much better, and not half the mln runs off that does from our short pas tures. It holds a greater amount of moisture, because the grass Is a mulch for the soil, and It will keep growing for weeks In a dry season, after It has ceased to do ou other land that Is grazed to death.

It is yet too early to offer an explicit opinion as to the probable relative area of autumn sown wheat, but it now seems practical ly conclusive that titers will be shown considerable gain over last year. It is in evidence that Oc tober sowings of wheat if followed with ordinary favorable conditions may be expected to result well, and in faot the wheat sown at late as the middle of November has possibilities favoring a good yield. The rains have bad the effect to weaken the market sentiment to some extent, and wheat values have receded. Other influences have also had more or lets bearing in the same direction. The large foreign demand which served in an in:ortant degree to stimulate the advancing tendency of values some weeks ago has been modified, as might have been expected at a natural result to follow that abnormal activity.

According to sd vicet from Fort Lockbardt, the tribct men having occupied Oargnri ridge, which commanded Chagru, on the Ha mara range, Ueneral Biggtsent the sec ond division this morning to dislodge them.

Tho British suffered a temporary check when they reached the 0en space, and were exMod to an accurate fire. After a prolonged artillery ure, the Querkas were reinforced by tne Gordon Highlanders. Then followed a magnificent rush across the open space, in the face of a murderous luiuiaoe. The enemy stood their ground until the British reached the rockt below, down which the tribesmen could not see to fire, and they fled pell-mell. The losses of the Uuerkas snd the High landers were severe. According to later advices, General Biggs sdvanoed at daybreak, by way of Chagru Kotal, with Brlgadier-Oeneral Kemster's brigade leading. It wat nearlv 10 o'clock when the enemy be gan a long-range light. The three mountain batteries massed on Chagru Kotal replied, while the Gordon High landert pushed through to tepport the first line, firing volleys st long range, The tribesmen reserved their fire until the Guerkas reached the tigzag path under the porpendicular cliff, where Maior Jennings Bromley was killed on Monday in the fighting between the Biggs brigade and the insurgont tribes men Irom Chagru. Three British companies crossed the cone of fire st a rush, sustaining heavy losses, while the remainder deployed to the left to intercept a flank attack threatened by some 7,000 of the enemy from that direction. The Dometshlre regiment attempted to support three companies ol Guerkas, but was kept back by the enemy, who remained cool, and reserved their fire until the British were well exposed. At 1 P. M. matters lookod serious, at the gun fire, though maintained by a mountain battery from Fort Gulistan had fniled to dislodge the enemy. Gen eral Kemster thereupon went forward in person, moving up the Gordon Higl landert and the Third Sikh regiment into the fighting line. A systematic assault was then organlxed, and 2,000 men, with fixed bayonets, stood wait ins for the order to advance. Three minutes beforo the word of command was given, General Komster tcWruiihed back Instructions to the artillery company to concentrate thei foroes. Eighteen pieces 01 artillery re .ponded, and, undor cover of this tiro, the leading com pun v of the Highland era. amid Dorfect silence, rushed Into tho fire sono. Half of the men dropped but tho remainder pushed gallantly on until they reached the cover where tho Guerkas lay. The rest ol tlio force streamed after them and the tribesmen, seeing thut most of the troops had pasted the fire aono, fled up the hill, and collected under cover of the cliffs. The Highlanders and mixed regi ments, after pausing a moment to take breath, again advanced to the assault and 20 minutes Inter tho poaitinn was won. The ridge was stormed nt 8 o'clock. From noon until that hour, the tribesmen, sheltered in the ssgars, Hood the bombardment, beating thoir drums, waving their standards, shout ing defiance, and maintaining a hot fire on the advancing soldiers.
