Peal of Bells in America.
*Tlie largest bell in the world hangs
a a greatT tower in the city of Kioto,
apart, says the Boston Herald. It is
weuty-four feet high, but as it is struck
u the outside with a wooden hammer,
a sound is comparatively feeble. China
ossesse3 many large bells, but, like the
arge bell of Kioto, they are worthless
ccording to our standard. Their pro
lortious are wrong, for they are as large
,t the top as tit the bottom, aud, being
truck, by wooden hammers, their
ones are no more terrific than those
vhicb emanate from the steeple of a
jountry meeting-house in New England.
The Turks abhor bells, and are said to
>e adverse to admitting them into their
jountry, for they seein to regard them as
nimical t*o their faith. On the other
land, the Germans have a peculiar
everence for bells, and in the Hartz
nountaius the casting of one is made an
iccasion of great public rejoicing. In
Kaudelav, when the hour is struck upon
i bell, a public official cries: “By the
avor of His Majesty the King, it is such
md such o’clock!” The ceremony, which
[till prevails in some parts of our own
■ountry and in England, of ringing the
ihurch bells at 9 o’clock in the evening,
s, doubtless, a survival of the practice
sounding the Curfew or cover fire,
ivhich William the Conqueror intro
luced into England as a familiar
sustom of his Norman home. At Ox
ford University it was long a time
lonored custom, and one that may exist,
b-day, that caused the bell known as
“Great Tom” to ring 101 blows at a cer
tain hour in the evening for the purpose
of calling the students home to bed, and
at Yorkminster, England, for some un
accountable reason, an old verger climbs
the stairs of the high tower each noon,
and with an iron hammer strikes twelve
blows upon the tenton bell. A little
clockwork in this instance would save a
great deal of labor.
The old Church of St. Sepulchre in
London, well known to all American
visitors as containing all that is mortal
of Captain John Smith, whose name is
familiar to every boy aud girl in the
States as that of the hro of the
Powhatan-Pocnhontas episode, which
possesses a bell which used to toll when
ever a convict at the Newgate prison,
on the other side of the street, was led
out to execution at Tyburn Fields. As
the unfortunate man passed the church,
sitting on his coffin in the open prison
£art, the sexton would present him with
a little nosegay in token of the beauties
of the earth upon which the eyes of the
poor wretch would soon close forever.
\\ hen the Royal Exchange in London

tary amusement as the famous chimes
which, by a mechanical device, were
made to play a different Uine each day of
the week, struck up the famous air
“There’s Nae Luck Aboot the House, M
just as the roof fell in.
Various nations of Europe make
various boasts regarding their respective
bell. The thirteen ton beli of Erfurt,
for instance, is said to contain the finest
metal in the world, but the Church of St.
Stephen, at Vienna contents, itself with
possessing the largest bell in German
countries. The people of Antwerp
point with justitiable pride to the sixty
five bells in their superb cathedral. The
fine church edifice in Mechim follows thi9
with forty-four bells. The famous belfry
of Bruges presses fast behind with forty
one bells, and Ghent makes a respectable
showing With thirty-nine in a single
tower.
The oldest chime of bells in America
is the chime of eight on Christ Church,
Salem street, Boston. They were brought
from England in 1744 and were pro
cured by subscription, Mr. John Rowe
giving the freight. They Cost S2BOO,
the charges for wheels and putting them
in place were $465.
Next to the giant of Kioto, the mons
ter of Moscow, Russia, is the largest
bell in the world. This marvelous
specimen of the founder’s art weighs
more than 220 tons. It is more than 21
feet high and is 67 feet in circumference,
and being mounted on a huge stone pe
destal, now.serves as a chapel. A great
fragment being broken from one side
easy access is afforded to the interior.
There is a mystery about this great bell,
>nd a mystery as great a 9 the bell itself.
History does not report whether this
enormous mass of metal has ever been
hung or rung. The exact age of the bell
does not seem to have been accurately
determined. Some writers assert that
#s the bell was being raised upon one of
the great towers of the Kremlin it fell
and broke. Others affirm that it had
.been safely hung when the building
taught fire and that the water used to ex
tinguish the fiarnes cracked the heated
metal and rent a great mass from its side;
while others are equally positive that the
injury was done in the process of cast
ing, and that the bell lay in the foundry
pit for 103 years, and was then dug out
and placed upon the pedestal where it
stands to-day. It is not easy to see the
use of such a metallic monster. Nothing
short of steam power could swing the
mass of metal, and steam power was un
known in the days when the Moscow bell
was cast. The value of the metal alone
has been computed at about $350,000,
and it is said that a large quantity of
gold and silver was mixed with it.
The twelve bells of St. Paul’s Cathe
dral in London are said to be the great
est ringing peal in the world. It is a
matter of pride with the English that
they always swing tlieir bells instead of
merely swinging the clappers after the
fashion prevailing in Russia and other
parts of continental Europe.
The Russians have a passion for big
bells. There are numbers of them in
Moscow. In the tower of Ivan, in the
Kremlin, hangs a sixty-ton bell, which
is rung only three times a year, and then
Jhe combined efforts of three men are re
quired to swing the hammer. Above
this hang forty bells of various dimen
sions, a mountain of metal capable of
emitting the most deafening sounds.
! 'n Easter eve, a deathlike silence reins
|hroughout magnificent Moscow Sud
denly, at midnight, from the tower of
Ivan, the mighty congregation of bells
peals forth in a tumultuous and dis
cordant crash. Then the bells of the en
tire city join in the metallic uproar.
FARM AND UARI>
_____
Remedy for the Heave*
Unless the disease is the result of a
change in the structure of the air tubes
or the lunge, it can be cured by giving
soft feed and avoiding clover hay. The
food should be the best grass hay, cut
before it is in blossom, and free from
pollen and mildew. This is cut in short
chaff, slightly moistened, and then mixed
with the ground feed, which should be
oats, corn and bran, in equal parts,
ground together. It would be advisable
to give with the feed, three times a week,
a tablespoonful of the following mixture:
One pound of salt, h.iif a pound of car
bonate of soda, four ounces of ground
ginger, and two ounces each of powdered
calisaya bark and sulphate of iron. —Hew
York Tlines.
The Oat Crop as a Fertilizer.
Oats do not enrich the soil to a great
extent, and it is not advisable to sow oats
twice in succession on the same field un
less the ground is previously plowed in
the fail, and it is not always advisable to
do this. Oats stubble grows excellent
wheat, it is true, and it undoubtedly is
true that the wheat crop from oats stub
ble is better than it would have been if
sown a year previous, or before oats had
been grown from the land. Given the
choice of two fields for corn, one a timothy
meadow of six or eight years standing,
the other an oats stubble of average fer
tility, and the oats stubble is much pre
ferable for the corn crop. Cats rather
tend to prepare the soil for other crops,
while clover enriches both for itself and
other crops.— Hew York Witness.
The Carrot as a Farm Crop.
The carrot can be grown upon any
good, mellow, loamy soil, but requires
liberal feeding, and its cultivation should
not be attempted in a soil that is ex
cessively weedy, or the labor at first will
be so great as to become discouraging,
as they must be kept clean in order to in
sure even average success. The carrot
is, however, when fairly rooted, a rapid
and vigorous grower, and its spreading
foliage greatly assists keeping down any
growth of weeds. Several hundred bush
els may be grown upon the acre. They
should be harvested before they are in
jured by frosts aud put in a root cellar
that is secure from freezing. With dry
hay they form a most valuable supple
mentary food, and are especially liked
by horses, which seem to thrive under
them. Some farmers consider them fully
as valuable as oats for horse- 1 , and will
not be without them. They are also ex
cellent for milch cows, giving a rich,
wholesome color to the cream aud but
ter. It is a crop worthy of cultivation.
Cut Out Small, Useless Wood. ''
A clean bole, free from knots and
gnarls, is a handsome sight in a tree,
whether a fruit or shade tree. Every
large branch removed leaves a scar,
more or les3 conspicuous, that in most
cases may be obviated by summer prun
ing. Too heavy summer lopping of large
branches has a tendency to check growth,
but the cutting out of water-shoots up
the stem, and unless young branches,
started fiom the inside of a tree where
no light can reach them, promotes
growth. If allowed to remain they will
live but a few years, aud if not then re
moved give a tree that unsightly appear
ance of having a mass of dead spray in
and around its body. Cut them out in
the summer, they then leave no wound.
The same rule will hold good with cur
rants and gooseberries. A mass of shoots
in the center of a bush is worse than use
less. The red currant is often badly
infested with the borer. In that case
there is often much dead wood from this
source. When this is cut off, the fire is
the best place for these trimmings, so as
to get rid of the borers in the wood.—
Prairie Fanner.
Poultry for Orchards.
While it is an undisputed fact, says
the Poultry GuuiJ, that an orchard is one
of the best places in which to establish
a poultry yard, we have also found poul
try to be excellent for fruit trees. We
have sixteen Shockley apple trees, now
seven years old. standing in and around
our poultry yards. Some of these stand
ing directly in the run of the fowls, has
as many apples as any five of the trees
on the outside. This is conclusive evi
dence that the one is beneficial to the
other. The chickens destroy ail bugs
and other insects that prey upon the
trees and fruit; at the same time they
keep down all grass and weeds and keep
the surface of the ground scratched up
and in a mellow condition, thus pro
moting the health and vigor of the trees,
causing them to bear larger and better
crops of fruit. Some of the trees in our
yards are literally hanging with nice ap
ples and so heavily laden that we are
compelled to keep the limbs well
propped to keep them from breaking
down. Shade is one of the indispensa
bles about a poultry establishment dur
ing the summer months, and it is cer
tainly better and more profitable to have
some good variety of fruit. We at the
same time get the needed shade while we
get a bountiful supply of delicious fruit,
if of the right kind. We would certain
ly advise all to have orchards for poultry
and poultry for orchards, for the one
will be greatly benefited by the other.
Spearmint and Peppermint.
A Minnesota correspondent in Ameri
can Garden gives the foilwing advice and
information concerning the culture of
spearmint and peppermint: Select the
dampest piece of land you have, thor
oughly cultivate, clean and dress it lib
erally with farmyard manure, well
rotted, and work it thoroughly into the
soil to a good depth, tor mint likes a
deep, rich, damp soil. Get as many
roots as you require, then plow out fur
roughs across the field, or dig holes one
foot apart each way and three or four
inches deep; into those drop the roots
and have some one to follow and cover
them immediately, so they will not dry.
Make all level, keep clean of weeds by
hoeing, and at the end of the two fol
lowing seasons plough the field. This
cuts and separates the roots, which will
soon start again and mat the ground
completely with new growth. Keep
clear of weeds. After you cut the green
mint in July or August give the land a
top diessing of well-rotted manure; do
not disturb the root again and you will
hae good crops of mint for many years.
Mint can also be grown in heated pita,
•r frames under glass during the winter,
if well watered.
When you have once jjot a plantation
of mint you can enlarge it to any extent
Hy simply cutting the green stalks close
.to the ground, take them to the land
prepared, stretch a line across and dibble
them in as you would cabbage plants.
Firm the soil well to each .cutting. Do
this in damp or dull weather. The cut
tings will soon root and eventually make
a better plantation than by the other
mode of planting.
Guinea Fowls.
The guinea fowl is a native of Africa
and has never outgrown its wild nature
enough to be closely confined, when bred
for domestic uses. The white and the
pearl are the two varieties most com
monly found in a domestic state. With
propriety the Guinea may be called the
watch dog of the poultry yard—ever
watchful and on the alert, it gives the
note of warning on the first approach of
danger.
Aside from the warfare they wage
against various kinds of insect and ver
min pests of the farm, they cannot be
considered of much pecuniary profit to
the farmer. They are an ornament to
the farm yard and often prevent the loss
of other poultry, by giving the alarm of
approaching danger. Mrs. J. B. Howe,
in the Farmers 7 Pevier, gives a “chat 5 *
about them from which we take the
following:
The pearl or speckled guinea is rather
more wild in its habits than the white,
and delights in hiding its nest in some
lonely and sequestered spot, in which it
deposits a large number of egg l , it un
disturbed, but if the nest of eggs are
meddled with, it deserts the nest, and
seeks a new one. Its eggs require four
weeks to hatch, and the young have all
the shyness of young prairie chickens or
quails. The fiesh of the speckled guinea
is dark colored and inclined to dryness.
On the other hand the white guinea is
quite domestic in its habits, especially
if reared by chicken hens, and in such
cases runs with the chickens and lays in
their nests, the same as the hens. They
never forget the hen that reared them,
but will follow her through thick and
thin, until they are fully grown, and if
separated from her they show a marked
preference for hens of her color. Its
young is also 6hy and ten
der, until say a couple of weeks old,
when, if handed properly, they become
as hardy as any of the fowl tribe. For
the first week or two the young should
be fed upon coarse oat meal slightly
scalded and salted, or crumbs of stale
bread soaked in milk curd, aud maybe a
little hard boiled egg. All food slightly
salted and fed often. Gravel and green
tender stuff, such as lettuce, onion tops
and the like, should also be mixed with
the food. They should not be kept too
long confined, as their wild nature, like
that of the turkey, demands a certain
degree of freedom and liberty to search
for insects. The fiesh of the wliita.
guinea, unlike that of its speckled rela
tion, is yellow and very tender and tooth
some. In color they are pure white, ex
cept the head, which is red. The legs
are yellow. Guineas aie very sprightly
and watchful fowls, spying a hawk,
skunk, weasel, or strange cat or
dog before any of the other fowls, and
setting up their peculiar diu to frighten
the intruder and to give warning of his
approach. They also observe if any of
the fowls get beyond their accustomed
limits and fearlessly attack them and per
sistently keep after them until the wrong
is righted. The white guinea, especially,
is a very fine layer, almost rivaling the
Leghorns. They begin early and continue
on until many of the hens have stopped to
rest. They are quite interesting fowls,
and for many reasons amply repay the
pains required to rear them. Their odd
looks and voice, together with their pretty
plumage, attract many admirers. The
male and female are similar in appear
ance and plumage, but are easily dis
tinguished by their different manner of
speaking. The hen calls in what has
often beeii said to resemble the cry of
“buckwheat,” while the male makes a
sort of whining sound, all in one syllable
and with one intonation. Guineas grow
and mature rapidly aud for broilers equal
young chickens.

In marketing any farm produce it
should be remembered that the sale is
best made when it attracts the eye by
the neatness in wnich it is displayed
for sale.
Salt should always be placed where
swine can have free access to it, but do
not keep it on the ground in the barn

What Fush Can Accomplish.
The first experience of a millionaire
merchant of Philadelphia on his arrival
in this country aptly illustrates what
push can accomplish. When he stepped
ashore from the sailing vessel, he said,
“I was without money or friends. I
spoke to a man on the wharf, and asked
him what to do. Ho replied, ‘Work,
young man. Have you any motto? 1
‘No,’ I said. ‘What do yon mean?’ He
said, ‘Every man must have a motto.
Now think of one. Go out and hunt for
work. ’
“I started, thinking of a motto. As I
walked along the street I saw painted on
a door the word ‘Push.’ I said, ‘That
shall be my motto.’ I did push at that
door, and entered an office. I was asked
what I wanted. I said, ‘Work, and the
word on your door gave me not only a
motto, but confidence.’
“My manner pleased the man. He
asked me many questions, all of which
were answered promptly. He said at
last: ‘ I wont a boy of “push,” and as
you have adopted that for your motto, I
will try you.’
“He did. My suocess followed, and
the motto that made my fortune will
make that of others.”
The word is old, short, and crisp, but
it expresses everything, and has carved
out fortune and fame for hundreds of
thousands of poor and obscure boys.—

W. L. Douglas, the best known shoe manu
facturer in the world, was born at Plymouth,
Mass., August 22, 1645. When he was seven
years old he was bound out to learn the shoe
making trade. His early life was a hard one,
butlie did not complain. He lnid an ambition
to be master of his trade: he worked hard and
learned all he could. Having saved a little
money by hard work at the bench he began to
manufacture shoes at Brockton, Mass., July 6,
1876. His knowledge of the business gave him
a great advantage over his competitors. He
worked hard and saved his money ; his busi.
ness began to increase and in May. 1883, his ad
vertisement first appeared in the papers, ad
vertising W. L. Douglas s3Shoe. He lias since
added several other kinds, which he describes
in his advertisement that appears in this paper
from time to time. It is a fact known by those
who wear his shoes that lie gives more value
for the money than any other shoe manufac
turer. XV. L Douglas’s factory is 426 feet
long, .10 feet wide, three stories high; lie em
ploys 300 workmen with a pay roll of J-4000 per
week. His sales are 1800 pairs per day; his
business is increasing very rapidly and will
'reach over £1,000,000 this year. He pays the
highest wages paid in the city, and is highly
’regarded by tho-e who work tor him. If you
are in want of a pair of shoes it will pay you
to so to your abater and examine a pair before
you buy any ottier make. There is one thing
certain, you will find his shoes the best value
for the price, and Tree from shoddy. W. L.
Douglas built up liis reputation by making
honest shoes.
