Kept an the Farm la aa Bvavrday War For Home L'aa. There has been a good deal said la the papers about. Belgian bares, and there is more and uore Interest de veloped In their, breeding, which Is largely by those woo are Interested In selling stock at fancy prices; but there has been almost nothing from the everyday side of tbe business, accord ing to H. El Tan Deman, who pro ceeds to aupply this omission by tbe following in Rural New Yorker: We have been keeping Belgian hares at our farm for several years Just as any nther animals are kept, and almost entirely for home use. We have tried to keep up the Wood and think we have some good stock, but we hsve none that we are foolish enough to ask or pay hundreds of dollars for, or any other exorbitant price; although we have had some to weigh from eight to nine pounds each and of good style and color. We klU and eat them at any time of year, Just as we do chick ens or any other farm stock, and we bave never kept anything that has giv en less trouble and more profit Tbe old ones are too strongly flavored to be very good In summer and we use tbem only In winter, but tbe young ones are excellent at any time. . Tbey will eat almast anything that Is good for a cow and some things that she would not touch. Many kinds of weeds seem to snlt their taste exactly. W give our rabbits tbe tops and scraps of garden vegetables, potatoes, sweet potatoes, apple parings, cores and almost any refuse fruits. Tbey like grains and ground feed and fatten on it In winter we give tbem prun Ings from the fruit trees, which, they relish, and these" doubtless act as a tonic; If not a food. Hay. and fodder tbey like, but we bave never tried si lage. Perhaps It would be to then taste. One source of food that occur red to me Is a lot of Carolina poplar trees that line the streets of the vil lage. In tbe outskirts of which we live. I had known of tbe fondness of cattle and Indian ponies for cottonweod bark and leaves in tbe west, and so I tried tbe rabbits on the tops of this tree, which Is a elose relative of tbe western Cottonwood. Tbey ato every leaf and peeled branches as clean of bark as If it had been done wltb knives. We feed them chiefly on this- food during the growing season and nave thus turned tbe tops of a great many trees Into good, tendor meat and gave tbem much needed pruning. Tbe manager of tbe town coiupauy talked of paying us for the job, but never did It Tbey will also eat the tops of silver poplar, Balm of Gllead, aspen, sassafras and many other trees and shrubs. There Is no danger of poisoning them, their In stinct being a safe guide aa to what they should eat, unless they are starv ed Into eating what la not good for them. . There Is no need of a special, bouse for hares, although this would perhaps often be as cheap a way to arrange for them as any other. Let tbe boys and girls bave a chance to keep a few, Tbey will find some ' place for them, but remember that cats and rats most be kept out Inch mesh wire netting will keep them out and tbe yonng rab bits In. If kept on tbe ground tbey will dig like gophers, and the wire fence must be set two feet deep: Tbe old bocks must be kept shut np, and the breeding does kept In separate pens. A pen 8 by 7 gives ample room for a doe and her young. Four litters can easily be raised In a year. W..baye..badTer.nttta .disease among our bares. Dysentery from giv ing too much food ef one kind has been tbe principal trouble. I like rabbit banting, and bave done much .of it, but It Is very bandy to be able to go out any day and get a nice "fry" with out having to cbase "Brother Cotton tail" for miles.

X) Well fed land Is never so well off as when kept In active operation, says W. Ev Farmer In Tbe American Agricul turist It la much like a strong, healthy man. It suffers more from Idleness than from bard work. First see to it that the soil gets plenty to est rich barnyard - and chemical fertilisers, green manuring and similar food and tbea work It and use It Tbe more It I cultivated and planted tbe better will It be able to produce crops. Feed land with heavy fertilisers and only half work It, rand It grows sour, and the, plant food cannot be taken np by tbe plants. It is just as bad for tbe land as It la to feed a boy wltb rich, nourish ing food, and then let blm lie around Idle and do nothing. We take food In to our systems to make strength, which In turn must be exerted In order to produce the necessary good result. There Is no danger of overworking land provided It la fed liberally. Tbe abandoned and run down farms that we reed so much about owe their con dition to poor management - Tbe trou ble bas not been In tbe soil, bnt In the farmers, who bave generation after generation robbed tbe land. Tbey did not understand bow to manags it Some farmers nave an idea that robbing the soil means raising too many and large erops on It Not a bit of It Robbing tbe soil Is simply taking from It and never putting anything back. Now, on good soil yon can raise two or three crops a year, and If properly bandied It will not be robbed of Its fertility. On tbe contrary, Its power of production will even be Increased. ; It I all In knowing bow. '. The knowing bow Is simple too. It la merely a matter of feeding and culti vating. Put back tbe barnyard ma nure, rotate tbe crops, cultivate thor oughly, and the secret of success Is yours. . Tbe more we use onr land tbe more productive It becomes, because by constant stirring and cultivating we Improve the mechanical conditions of tbe soli, so thst K Is better fitted to fur nish tbe right conditions for seeds and growing plants. Tbe more the soil Is cultivated tbe easier It Is for tbe mois ture to penetrate It and tbe under ground springs prove a source of per ennial moisture for tbe plants when the air arouud Is dry and parching. At tbe earn time tbe fertilising elements of tbe subsoil are reached by plant roots, which are enabled to penetrate far down below tbe surface. Finally nearly all of onr fertilisers that we ap ply to the soil need stirring np occa sionally to do their beat good. . Tbey need to be brought Into mar direct contact with tbe atmosphere, sun and rains, to make them Immediately avail able as plant food. . Antlnltr f Asrienltnre. The origin of agriculture, sayy Pro feasor A. O. Hadden In Knowledge, Is lost In tbe mists of antiquity. We know that In neolithic times In Europe eight kinds of cereals were cultivated, besldes flax, peas, ' popples, apples, pears, bullace plums, etc. At tbe same time various animate were domesticat ed. Among these were horses, snort horned oxen, horned sheep, goats, two breeds of pigs and dogs. Professor W. Boyd Dawklns says that evidence goes to snow that these animal were not domesticated In Europe, but probably In tbe central plateau of Asia. He also thinks that agriculture arose In tbe sooth and east of Europe and spread gradually to tbe center, north and west . A bunting population Is often very avers to even tbe slight amount of work that agriculture requires In a tropical country. Tbe same bold good as a rule for pastoral communities. In ii esses a powerful constraint Is nec essary to force these peoples Into un congenial employment Fat is strong er then will, and at various periods In different climes hunters and herders bars been forced to till tbe solL stapes ta at Cam. During tbe fiscal year 1800-1 only tBft per cent of our corn crop was ex ported, says Tbe National Stockman. Since that time tbe trade baa grown with very little Interruption until hi tbe fiscal year tost closed 10.07 per cant was exported, or about one bushel In every ten baa gone abroad during tbe past yesr In spite of blgb prices and restriction of trade at times by lack of vessets-v Some ears ago a far seeing business . man predicted that eon would never be burned again, but that It would gradually approach wheat In price. . Tbe first part ef bis prophecy seems to have been fulfilled, and tbe second part may be. Corn la produced In a limited area as compared wltb wheat, and If a worldwide de mand calls for tbe product of this lim ited territory prices are likely to even tually rise nearer to a parity with wheat ' Bovine; Straw, A Kansas correspondent, ef Tbe Farmer's Tribune calls attention to tbe great wests on many farms by tbe careless way in which tbe straw la pot Bp. not la stack, bnt In piles, usually by a gang of boys wbo think tbey are doing aU ttat la expected ef tbem If tbey sea ksep It out ef tbe way of the carrier or tbe elevator.

They are copper colored, with high check bones, straight noses, black balr, rather coarse, black eyes, and bave more Intelligence than the ordinary mountaineers. Their color and their customs bave caused them a great deal of trouble. Tbe Malungeons number between 400 an) coo. - Tbey live on Black Kater creek, In Hancock county, and tbey bave been In that section more than 100 years. Tbe records of Hancock county show that their .ancestors came to Powell's valley as early aa 1780, when they took up lands on Block Water. Tradition aays they held aloof from the white settlers and spoke a strango language, which none of the pioneers understood. Some of tbem could speak broken English, and by this means communicated wltb tbe white merchants to the extentof buy ing arms and ammunition and other supplies which they could not procure In the valleys of their mountain homes. Before tbe war the Malungeons had a hard time In obtaining tbe right to vote and to send their children to tbe public scliools. The white citlsens de clared that they were negroes, and tbe matter was finally carried Into tbe courts. It developed that tbe ancestors of these people emigrated to America about 100 years ago from tbe Interior of Portugal, and bad spent some time In South Carolina before going to Ten nessee. They declared on tbe witness stand that there was not a drop of negro blood In their veins, and after long and tedious litigation they wre allowed to vote and send their children to school. When the war broke out In 1801, the Malungeons espoused the cause of the Union. After the war closed and tbe Malungeons returned to tbelr old pur suits tbey found thai tbe government was Interfering wltb one of their chief Industries making whisky. Tbey bed been distillers back In South Carolina, and some of tbe earliest stills In Ten nessee were brought by tbelr ancestors over tbe mountains from tbelr original settlement Tbey killed; revenue offi cers, just as tbe other mountaineers did, for disturbing tbelr stills. Of late years, however, the revenue men bave been so persistent In the work of de stroying the Illicit t raffle that the Ma lungeons bave sold but little whisky openly. Tbey still make moonshine whisky, but tbey have adopted tbo art ful, dodging tactics ot the other moon shiners of the Tennessee and Kentucky mountains, and It Is rare that one of tbe race Is caught So far as known not one of tbe Malungeons has ever ridden on a train. Tbelr deep, religious nature la the most striking of ail tbelr characteris tics. During tbelr meetings tbey will sing snd shout until almost beside themselves wltb religious fervor. One of the patriarchs of tbe Malungeons wss Uncle Yard Collins. Many years ago a noted church bishop was travel ing through tbe" Black Water district He accidentally came to Uncle Yard's bouse and asked to Stay overnight with him, a privilege readily granted. LWbea be told tbe old man be was a preacher, the patriarch saM ne woum like to bear blm preach. The blsbop nqulred where tbe congregation would come. from. For answer bis boat took a long dinner born from Its lack and, going outdoors, blow several shrill Masts. WHbln sn hour 100 people bad assembled and showed great Interest In tbe sermon.

The Flret Mearalast Paper. , Tbe oldest known letter written on black edged not, paper as a sign of mourning appears to be one dated Jan. B, 1083, In Addison's comedy of "Tbe Drummer," 1715, reference Is msde to tbe fashion In tbe words, "My lady's mourning paper that Is blacked at tbe edges." A few years later Allan Ram say, wbo died In 1758, speaks In one of his poems of "tbe sable bordered sheet" aa a messenger of sorrow. Mann, writing from Italy to Horace Walpole In 1746, says that it was universally ased In Florence at that time. Tbe superior elegance of this Italian not paper, wltb Ha narrow margin of black, explains Its ready acceptance In this country, where It supersadrtjgtbe quarto sheet with a black bonter Some times a quarter of an Inch wide. In this way rt probably gave an Impetus to tbe faabioo. But It la a mistake to suppose, as some bave done, that tbe fashion wss Introduced from Italy. London Answers.

YOUTHS' DEPARTMENT. Ovandpa's Starr Aboat Pent aa anashlae Chlneae Biddies A Child's Time Table. Two little girls, cousins, were spend ing tbe summer In the country. One rainy day Dorothy stood at tbe win dow pouting and was heard to sayt "It is so lonesome. I think a rainy day In the country Is the borrldest thing." Outside everything - was drenched, and still tbe rain kept falling. In the road the water stood In dimpled pud dles, and little rivulets, hurrying, scur rying, raced merrily along the gutters. Tbe trees were dripping, and not a bird would slug. Dorothy was hardly to blame for feeling out of humor. "It's so horrid," she said. "Isn't it, Margie r ' "Oh, no," said Marglo brightly. "I don't think It Is." . . Margie sat at another window busy as a bee over a workbasket, threading needles for grandma. :'. "What are you doing, MargloT" ask ed Dorothy, wltb sudden Interest Marglo laughed and shook back ber pretty curls that had fallen around her face.- "I am threading needles for grandma. Her eyes are growing dim and ahe cannot see to thread tbem so easily on dark, cloudy days. I get tbem all ready for ber just as a sur prise, and you just watch and sco her face when she finds her basket In or der and ber needles filled wltb thread." Dorothy left the window and came over beside Margie and commenced threading needles. "Wo can finish threading all these needles, and If you read to grandpa I'll help mamma," continued Margie, "Wbat wHl I read to grandpa?" ask ed Dorothy. , "Oh, Just read whatever he wants yon to," replied Margie, "Yon know be likes some one to read to him after be baa taken bis afternoon nap.." When grandma came to tbe sitting room tbe needles were filled, and Mar gie had gone to help ber mamma wltb tbe supper, while Dorothy read to grandpa. After tea was over Margie and Dorothy washed the dishes, tidied up tbe kitchen, and came skipping mer rily to tease grandpa for a story before bedtime. Grandpa smiled pleasantly upon the two little girls, settled back comfort ably In bis easy cbalr, and said: "Many, many years ago, long before this country was so thickly settled, everywhere near here was a dens forest But few people lived bear here. Just on tbe adjoining farm, where Mr. Gardner now lives, there lived a family to which were two little girls, whom we will call Pout and Sunshine. Pout was never contented. She was always complaining about something. She would not do any work or help her mamma lu any way, and would pout whenever It rained, and could never see tbe bright side of anything. "But Sunsblno always tried to do everything to make others Bappy. She never thought of herself, seemed to have only tbe thought ot pleasing others. "One day Pout's father and .mother were. going to town. The road was long and dreary, for towos In those days were not near as tbey are today. Pout wanted to go along, but ber parents said she mnst stay wltb ber uncle and Sunshine. Sbo ran away In to tbe woods. Tbey called to her to oome back. She only ran farther Into tbe darkest portions. After traveling some distance In tbe forest It bad grown quite dark. She attempted to retrace ber steps and could not She was lost and began to cry, but there was no one near to bear ber. While tbe was sobbing sbe beard a footstep. Thinking that It was ber father, she stopped crying to see a dark form, but not ber father. It was a borrid looking man, whom she knew was an Indian. He carried her off in spite of ber screams and violent protests. So Pout was never seen again, and her parents mourned ber disappearance." "I'm glad I was not Pout" said Mar gie tearfully. "So am I," said Dorothy stoutly. When they were going to bed they were beard to say, "I guess rainy days are not so bad, after all." Fannls Malln. Chinese Riddles.
