Mr. Humpus draws "i ,is i-li.'i-p manure every feprinj;. tak ii.' .: up jiint as the s-lieep have left it, i tsnv compacted in the shedV, and tip- I v 1 1 j r it to corn. On this t-umly soil i i wed m not very deeply it quickly fer ments. On heavier clay sod it would bo l)i'tt-r to let the manure be piled up a lay . r two and beirin to ferment, but in tin i-i-ie especial care must be taken not i t it the heap burn, winch would de str t much of its value. The manure I-' n sheep fed as Mr. Btimpus feeds his i erv rich in nitrogen, and heatn veiy 1 liikly when placed in small heaps. If ln'f urawn out until hot weather coined, tii.s manure would dry up and miht be vv ne damaged ; Mr. Iiuiiipus alwavs . ic.irs his sheepfold early. In the soil the lK-atintrof the manure k'ivi's oil' anunonia, w.i.rh is converted into nitrogen, while its mineral constituents are kept soluble for the grain crops which follow. IlorM'Hlioi'lnir. Ir. Dickson has contributed an ar ticle on shoeing that Senator Joe lilack uurn says is worth $1,000,000. It care fully examines tlie foot, shows just why a horse is shod and how it is necessary to go to protect the hoof, and lays down a few simple rules that can be easily learned and practiced. Dr. Dicksoh cif-es this chapter with a suggestion that it ;s nearly as important that black smiths should be scientific in their train ing as veterinarians, and urges that in a matter of such vast importance to tho national wealth too little attention is paid by the State to the most useful of all domestic animals. The novel hope is expressed that chemistry will deviso Dine preparation that may he safely ap plied to the hoof in a way to harden into i substance resembling horn and allow tin- horseman to yank off the iron shoes ,md drive his beast barefooted. In this way the lightness stiength and elastic ity of the horse's foot would be regained, .is they were once enjoyed in ttie wild state. Uncle .lorry is not wholly con tent to re-ton his laurels and stop with his book on the diseases of iiorses. lie ha mapped out another volume on hm-ding, and hopes to be able to pub lish it in the course of a year. Tho Dairy. The best results for the value of grain fed to the average cow in recent tests were from four pounds of bran or shorts, two pounds of cotton-seed meal, in two feedings daily. These feedings were in the morning and at night. Grain should always be fed with judgment. Only feed the animals as much as they will properly digest and assimilate. When first beginnim: to feed grain the rations should be small and gradually increased until the desired amount is given. The rations must be regular and constant. The size of the cow and her powers of digestion must bo considered. The healthy cow of vigorous constitution one pound of well-balanced grain will profitably use as ration daily for every 100 pounds of her live weight. A e are anxious to do a big business, to spread ourselves, and we aro apt to think that our capacity is equal to our desire. Many of us make the big mistake of undertaking more than we can carry through successfully, anil in dairying this holds good with more force than in some other branches of farming. A dairy of say ten cows may be very profitable, anil the owner of it thinks that twenty or thirty cows would bo pro portionately profitable; and so they would if they received tho samo amount of care per cow as the ten, but this will rarely bo the ca-o. If wo have the feed, the labor, the customers for the larger dairy and have the ability to operate it, then wo can go ahead with a fair pros pect of success. Hut for a beginner to t-tart with a largo herd failure will be the outcome for the first few years. 1 tin Itmeilinj; of Ilnrtps. Senator Stanford in speaking the other lay of horse breeding said : "There are 13,000,01)0 horses in the United States according to tho recent census. Imagino what a value we could create if we im proved each one of this vast number o( animals bo that the individual was worth $50 more than he is. This is surely jos eiblo. 1 am President of a street rail road in San Francisco, wi.ero we have hundreds of horses. The average life of our animals was three years. But one old horse stood that hard life nine years. Ilis service was so exceptional 1 looked up his record. I hired detectives to trace him irom one sale to another back to tho man and the farm that raised him. I found that his sire was a pedigreed horeo ; his dam was of good bio-!, though not i i mi.... i . : .....l . i.

I Now I guv that, whether we raise horse for the plow or the track, blood will toll and i8 worth money. Electioneer earned , 20J,000 a year for me because he waa a , gotxl horse. The old street-car hore ' earned three times a much for u as his follows because ho was a aood horso. , ISuch in his place proved a great truth, mid it is time wo all knew it.

I'xrttlni: AVr'llp ll-lwi'"ii Tom Cimnnn mill tin- Mj lei Inn MriuiRt-r. The "Man with a Mask" has finally met his match in the sturdy person known a-- Tom Cannon. Those two redoiiM.-ible wrestlers dime together the other evening at the Flles Bergere before nn audience several times too large Tor the accommodation otTered. The unusual crush was oocaMoned by the announcement that America's for midable wrestler was to be pitted against a mysterious individual of wonderful strength and skill, who up to the present has proved a victor against allcomers. This eccentric athlete caused a great sen sation in Paris last ear by appearing on the stage with his face and head entirely hidden by a black silk mask, behind which no one was able to penetrate. He appeared in the same way last evening. lie arrives at the Folies Bergere in a private carriage only a few minutes be fore he must apH'iir, and is immediately shown to a private room, from which he conies out only to go on the stage. He leaves in the same manner. Before the struggle last evening I was standing In-hind the scenes talking with Tom Cannon. Said he: "1 know absolutely nothing about the man 1 am going to wrestle with. I have a suspicion, though, that ho is an old time professional who has reasons for concealing his identity. Hither that, or he is some rich chap who doesn't want to be seen here." "Do you feel in good condition?" "No. indeed, and that is the worst of it. 1 have been wrestling here for thirty-four nights in succession without any rest, and sometimes 1 have met two men in a night." Finally tin' curtain rose, and tho two giants came hounding forth in front of the footlights. Giants indeed they were: Tom in red tights, the other in black, and both naked to the waist. A moment's glance was enough to show that the "Man with the .Mask" was in perfect physical condition; indeed, ho appeared in every respect the better of the two. His skin was of satiny soft ness, and as white as that of a woman. His chest, thighs, and arms were of Her culean dimensions, and his carriage was that of a gentleman. A significant de tail was the singular smallness of his feet and hands. Xo time was lost. A grip of two powerful hands, a moment's hesitation before the initial spring, and then they went at it arms, heads, legs, and bodies. It was about as lively a wrestling match as one could possibly see. The "Man with the Mask" took tho offensive from the start, and' for the first five minutes it looked as if bo was going to vanquish Tom Cannon with ease. But the man who vanquishes Tom with ease or without it has not yet put in his appearance at the Folies Bergere. In the very first set-to the Unknown forced Cannon over on his back, and to save himself, the latter was obliged to form a bridge with the back of his head anil his heels as bases. On this bridge the masked Hercules threw himself with tremendous fury, hut Tom held firm, and, watching his chance, slipped from be neath, and with a hack "handspring" landed on his feel. As the struggle advanced the tables commenced to turn. Now it was Tom Cannon who was doing the attacking. At one point the stranger nearly lost his mask, and retired to rearrange it. Dur the brief intermission Tom htepped on one side and said to me: "He is the best wrestler I have met in France, lie is pushing the fighting, but I shall have my inning pretty soon. I may be mistaken, hut I think lam going to heat him." And Tom was not mistaken. How he did it it were impossible to de scribe; hut he did it. The masked man fought like a hero: hut ho had a hero to fight against. Now one is on lop. now another; now the' are both down on hands and knees, and presently they are locked arms, legs and bodies in a desperate embrace. Then everything gets mixed up very much mixed up until suddenly the Un known goes bailing through the air, im pelled by Tom's combined strength nud science. He lands on one side and tries to rise, but Tom is upon him, pinning one shoulder to tlie floor, and slowly, slowly forcing tho other into the samo position. Tho "Man with the Mask" squirmsand kicks with the energy of a lost angel. Tom Cannon, relentless, with flashing eyes, presses that other shoulder nearer nnd nearer to tho carpet. Tho crowd goes mad with excitement. At last it is all over. The mysterious giant struggles no longer he is vanquished. AH this, which takes a long time to describe, lasted only twelve minutes. Paris Herald. ICji'H or it St-icri-il 1 1 call Oprn. A Negannee special to The Detroit Free Press says: A brakemau named Thomas Iliggins slipped between two freight cars on a moving train near Maple Ridge yesterday morning. The signal to stop was given by another brakeman who saw the fall and tho train stopped and backed up to where Iliggins lay. Fivo cars had passed over his body, which was fright fully mangled. The head was completely severed from the trunk and W.y several foot from tho track. Fireman ilyo picked up the head and was horror stricken to see the eyelids cloe and again open, then partly clone again. This was been ;v En gineer William Whitney and tho irako man. and all three were badly frightened. This sign of coutciousncss wua given several minutes after tho head was sev ered from the body Tlio riuiiiKil Shirt Dooiik-iI.

Hon Hot Water Saves China. Tho entire absencoof sanitary arrange ments in Chinese towns and villages being well known, it gxs without saying that the laws of hygiene are utterly ami entirelv neglected There is no isolation of infectious diseases, and no attention is paid to causes of death unless there ia sup)osition of violence According to our ideas, therefore. Chinese cities ought to lie hotbeds of disease, subjected regu larly to terrible epidemics which, with us, are invariably associated with tho neglect of sanitary laws Strange to sav such is not the case Epidemics cotno and go without any apparent reason, ap pearing, perhaps, suddenly, causing a heavy mortality for a short time, and then as suddenly disappearing again, thus atfording an endless Held of specu lation to the foreign savant. But, speak ing generally. Chinese towns enjoy an immunity from these dangerous out breaks almost as complete as that of well drained European communities, and the cause of this puzzling and curious phe nomenon has been variously explained The fact is all the more striking when taken in connection with the contamin ated water supplies of Chinese towns, tho ellect of which on Europeans has been manifested over and over again in tho heavy mortality which overtook them previous to tlie adoption of precautions enjoined by modern sanitary science. The healthiness of Chinese cities has been ingeniously attributed by some people to the universal habit of fanning, a practice which is said to keep tho at' mosphere in constant circulation. How far this explanation can he deemed to suffice we must leave to experts to de cide, but, so far as contaminated water supply is concerned, we believe the real secret of immunity from its evil effects to lie in the universal custom of boiling all water intended for drinking. Asa matter of fact, the Chinese never drink cold water The national beverage, which, in a true sense, may be said to cheer but nol inebriate, is tea, and this is always "on tap," even in the houses of the very poor. The native aversion to cold water is undoubtedly carried to extremes, and certainly induces diseases which might easily be avoided by a judicious system of outward applica tion. In the matter of ablutions it must, however, be admitted that the Chinese enjoy facilities which, however little they aro taken ad vantage, of, aro far in advance of anything within tho reach ot tho poorer classes of our own favored land. Every little hamlet in China has a shop where hot water can bo bought for a trilling sum at any hour of tho day or night. Even in a small fishing vil lage on a remote island in the gulf of Pechili, where the writer sjient six weeks under very iipnleasant circum stances during a seve " 'w inter, this was the case, and a great convenience it proved. The National Review. Oicans of Milk. "There are $2,000,000,000 invested in the dairying lmt.ine.-s in this country," said a citizen with a predilection for statistics. "Tluit amount is almost double the money invested m hanking and com mercial industries. It is estimated thai it requires lo, 000, 000 cows to supply the demand for milk and its products in the United States To feed these cows 00, 000,000 acres of land are under cultiva tion. The agriculture and dairy ma chinery and implements in use aro worth over 200,000.000 Tho men employed in the business number 750.000 and the Iiorses over 1.000,000. Tho cows and horses consume annually iJO.OOO.OOO tons of hay, nearly 110.000.000 bushels of corn meal, about the same amount of oaU meal. 275,000.000 bushels of oats, 2,000. 000 bushels of bran and IIO.OOO.OOO bush els of corn, to say nothing of tho brew ery grains, sprouts and other questiona ble feed of various kinds that are used to a great extent It costs $150,000,000 to feed these cows and Iiorses. Tho nv erago price paid to the laborer necessary in tho dairy business is probably $20 a month, amounting to $180,000,000 a year. "The average cow yields about 4."50 gallons of milk a year, which gives a total product of 0,750.000.000 gallons Twelve cents a gallon is a fair price to estimate the value of this milk at, a total return to the dairy farmers of $810, 000,000, if they sold all their milk as milk But fltr per cent, of tho milk is made Into cheese and butter. It takes 27 K)tmds of milk to make I pound of butter, and about 10 pounds to make one of cheese. There is the same amount of nutrition in N) ountlsof milk that there is in 1 pound of beef. A fat steer fur nishes 50 per cent, of boneless beef, but it would require about 21,000,000 steers, weighing 1.500 pounds each, to produce tho same amount of nutrition as the an nual milk product does."

Huff, a well known coal dealer of Atlanta, while cutting down a bee tiee on his farm, five miles from Atlanta, on the Saudtown road, made a strange discovery.
