' i An Illinois farmer, being desirous of
possessing a root cellar, for keeping
mangel wnrzoli' atfd other roots for the
winter feeding of stock, applied, to
Country Ueutloman for advice. -: He
wanted an inexpensive arrangement
and one- that required no skilled labor
in its eoiistraction.. Following are the
snggeetioni elicited: - . .
. Dig a hole 4 to 8 feet wide and
as long as . may be neoessary to con
tain the roots; preferably it should be
dug into a hill or rather iu" ground
which slopes moderately. The sides
should depart about 10 degroes from
the perpendicular. Lay 'two. or -three
f planks against the walk. Rear as many
poses as may oe necessary, xney anooia

ground. ' This end should be doable
boarded and the space filled with straw,
or some other like material, as. should
also the end and the roof where it may
not be convenient to cover with earth. -
Drought and Wheat Sowing..' ;
It has. been evident ever since mid
summer that American larmers were
inolined to put in an exceedingly large
acreage of wheat this season..: . This did
not seem to be confined to any particu
lar district or to any section of the coun
try, bat it was a general purpose on the
part of . farmers everywhere. "Events
have transpired, though," says The Na
tional Stockman, "which have largely
curtailed this possible acreage. The very
dry weather of the past two or three
months has rendered seeding practically
impossible iu many places, and the pro
traction of the drought baa been such
as to cut off all hope in some of these
places of getting in a crop of winter
wheat at all this season.' In other places
much of that sown is getting a bad start
for- the ' same reason, so that it looks
now as though the acreage of winter
wheat for 1898 would be lew rather
than greater than normal.'.: The same
conditions are-reported from some of
the wheat growing countries beyond the
Atlantic, so that as far as can now be
seen wheat is certain to net good strong
prices next year. ' " :, ' -
" The Tfew England Frnlta. . ! '
. This season's applo crop of New Eng
land is below the average. Here is a
report from The New England Home
stead: The Baldwin, which always held
the first place and which produced such
enormous crops in 189S, has produced
not more than one-half the amount of
last year and is not as profitable as some
of the earlier varieties. . Borne Beauty
has done fairly well, also the Hubbard
ston, but as a rule the entire apple crop
will not be over one-tenth of what it
was last year. -The Mclntoh Bed is a
promising early winter variety. Pears
are very abundant in the eastern states
and of excellent quality. - The plum crop
is unusually good. The older varieties,
well- known a generation ago, . still
"maintain their standard of quality," bat
the Japan' plums and particularly the
Bnrbank hybrids arc heavier bearers.
The cherry crop was .very good, and
peaches were more plentiful than they
have been for several years past, thus
stimulating th planting' of peach or
chards.' - The quince is not a promising
frujt iiiNew England, yet well managed
orchardare proving profitable.

Considering its nntritive value, flax
seed is now a cheaper feed than almost
any other grain, but it is so concen
trated a food that only a little can be fed
with advantage at any one time. We
think that farmers who do npt grow
flaxseed as very few in the east now
do might profitably buy some linseed
meal, which for feeding purposes is bet
ter than the whole seed, and use it with
other feeds. The new process oilmeal

THE, ORPINGTONS.
A
.
New Breed of Profitable and Hand-
, some Fowls. T X ' .
The Orpington breed of fowls Is a new
one which has received much, attention
from poultry Journals, but is as yet lit
tle known among farmers.
. They were developed in England by a
fancier, named . Cook, who says . he
brought them into existence for the pur
pose of infusing into farming pursuits a
new clement of profitable poultry keep
ing. Be claims that Orpingtons are suit
ed to almost all conditions under which
poultry can be kept, offering a choice of
varieties and characteristics, so . as ' to
make it possible for alt classes to keep
them, He continues; : ,. ;
""The first variety of the Orpingtons
was the black - To make these I took a
good Black Minorca, which variety are
extraordinary layers, block plumage,
but small and not patting on fat readi
ly, with white flesh and skin of fine
texture, bat with black legs and tre
mendous activity? They are not suitable
for cold, bleak situations, as they are not
strong, hardy birds. The points I hoped
to secure from this breed .were' black
plumage, red face and large oofnb and ear
lobea 1 procured the finest bodied cocks
of the breed that I could find through
out the country that had red ear lobes.
These 'sports' had been killed or thought
little of before because they had not
white ear lobes. ' . ''? - -"
With these Black Mlnorcas I mated
some Black Plymouth Bock pullets,
which are -'sports' from the American
Speokled Rocks,-owing to the Black
Java having been ased in the making
of the Plymouth Bock breed. Plymouth
Bocks are hardy birds, winter layers of

a brown (or tinted) egg and were thought
a' good deal . of when they were intro
duced, although, their yellow skin and
legs have always been against them as
table fowls' in this oouutry. These vari
eties when crossed produced even black
pullets and good' shaped birds. The
cockerels came of a mixed straw color
and were; of course, useless for my pur
poga, vvv.yr,'-.;-,r:ri
" With these beautiful pullets twated
a good Langshan, of the old short leg
ged type, and, as is well known,, these I
birds are extraordinary winter and par
ticularly "late autumn layers of deep
brown shelled - eggs They lay when
eggs are scarce, more " so than at any
other time of the year. They are also
fine bodied black birds, showing an lr
idescent metallic green sheen upon their
magnificent plumage. 8o these birds,
with their loug, deep breastbone and
white skin and flesh, infused many good
qualities into the breed.
"The feathers down the legs bad to
be disposed of, and to do this I sought
oat all the Langabans that wars pro
duced without feathers on the legs.
These Langshans laid earlier than the
feather legged ones, and, with their
breasts carved in that peculiar way
which denoted strength of constitution
and their fine qualities, soon sot their
stamp of real excellence upon the birds.
So with the 'wastrels' (wasters) from
the good breeds I formed the Black
Orpingtons, using birds that represent
ed the three continents vii, Minorca
from Europe, taugshans from Asia and
Plymouth . Bocks from America) and
three varieties that were looked upon
as three of the beat for general purposes
mat England poswcsfloa.
Thus were the original Orpingtons
made Some people objected that the
single combed birds were so like Lang
shans; and . Rose Combed Orpingtons
were next made by substituting a Boas
Combed Xuigahan male. The White
Orpingtons came next and were made
by crossing White Leghorn cocks and
Black Hamburg hens, and the pallets of
this cross were every one white. .
, To make the Buff Orpingtons three
varieties were crossed. First, Golden
Spangled Hamburg cocks were mated
with Dorkings. The reddish brown prog
any were by far the best layers of this
croas, and, having selected the best lay
ers of these, be mated a Buff Cochin
oock with them, and about two out of
every dozen came with clean legs. By
careful breeding be has been able to get
five distinct strains. -.
The Orpingtons have all the strength
and vigor of crossbreeds, and as egg
producers, especially in aotamn and
winter, when eggs pay the creamy prof
its, they are remarkable. Tbey lay like
wise the tinted eggs which command a
premium in the market They are of
large size, are short legged, chunky
bodied, and with tba round full breast
which indicates, strength and .vigor,
and for an all propose fowl forth Eng
lish market they seem to be Just right
For tba American markrt they bar
most serioos defect in their whit flesh
and leg. The blacks bar black legs,
which is a disadvantage also in th
English market.

Bt. Nicholas- series of articles on
"The Buccaneers of Our Coast."- In
his characteristic vein Mr. Stockton
sayst, . "
I Spain was not at war with Eng
land, ana wnen urage saiiea wun
four small ships into the port of the
little town of Nombre deDios in
the middle of the night the inhabit
ants of the town were as muoh as
tonished as the people of Perth Am
boy-would be if four armed vessels
were to steam into Raritan. bay and
endeavor to take possession of the
town.. The peaceful Spanish towns
people were not at war with any civ
ilized nation,, and they could not un
der stand why bands of armed men
should invade their streets, enter
the market plaoe, Are their calivers,
or muskets, into the air, and, then
sound a trumpet loud enough to
wake up everybody in the place.
Just outside of the town the invad
ers had left a number "of their men,
and when these beard the, trumpet
in the market place, they also fired
their guns.. All this noise and hub
bub so frightened the good people
of the town that many of them
jumped from their-beds, and, with
out stopping to drees, fled to the
mountains. But all the citizens were
not such, cowards, and 14 or 15 of
them armed themselves and wont
out to defend their town from the
unknown invaders. ! . -
Beginners in any trade or profes
sion, whether it be the playing of
the piano, the painting of piotures,
or the pursuit of piracy, are often
timid and distrustful of themselves;
a it happened on this occasion with
Francis Drake and bis men, who
were merely , amateur pirates and
showed very plainly that tbey did
not yet understand their business. -
When the IS Spanish citizens came
into the market place and found
there the little body of armed Eng
lishmen," they Immediately fired
upon them, not knowing or oaring
who they were. This brave resist
ance seems to have frightened Drake
and his men almost as much as
their trumpets and guns had fright
ened the citizens, and the English
Immediately retreated from the
town. When they reached the place
where they bad left the rest of their
party, tbey found that these had al
ready run away and taken to the
boats. Consequently Drake and his
men were obliged partly to undress
themselves and to wade out to the
little ships. - The Englishmen
cured no booty whatever, and they
killed only one Spaniard, and he
was a man who bad been 'looking"
out of a window to see what was
the matter v , . ' -
. Whether or not Drake's conscJenoe
bad anything to do with the bun
gling manner in which he made this
first attempt at piracy we cannot
say, but he aeon gave bis conscience
a holiday and undertook some very
successful robbing enterprises. He
received information from some na
tives that a train of males was com
ing across the iatbmusof Panama,
loaded with gold astf silver bullion
and guarded only bythetr drivers,
for the merchants who owned all
this treasure bad no idea that there
was any one in that part of the
world who would commit a robbery
upon them. But Drake and bis
men soon proved that they could
holdup a train of. mules as easily
as some of the masked robbers in
our western country bold up a train
of cars. All the gold was taken.
but tbe silver wartoo heavy for' the
amateur pirates to carry.
