A VAILED DIET FOB Fowls
are no animals more omniverous than
fowls fish, flesh, herbs and grains being
devourei by them with equal relish.
We say equal for though they common
ly pounce upon meat with more avidity
than upon grain, this is because it af-
fords rarity. and flock kept for a.
while on animal food will show the
same greed for corn.
Animals accustomed to a varied diet,
should not be confined to an unvarying
one. There are some species which are
naturally limited to one or few kinds
of food. Thus, cattle do well enough.
although kept month after month on
grass alone, and tiger will thrive with
nothing but lean meat as a bill OF fare.
But with other animals, as with the hu-
man race, e. O. the case is different, for
no person eau maintain the highest eff
cheney when confined to one article of
food. No matter how fond one IS OF a
particular dish, he loses relish for it
when allowed nothing else for number
of consecutive meals, and the intense
craving for variety indicates as its source
something more than mere appetite. 1t
gives evidence of real necessities of the
system which are constantly varying
with the changing circumstances of
health, employment. and other condi-
tions. The fondness for variety shown
by fowls is as significant of real needs
as in ourselves. In npurveying for them,
a judicious variety. to wit, fresh vege-
tables, grain and animal food, is at all
seasons absolutely necessary for young
and old, in order to make them thrifty.
True, they will not starve on corn and
water, nor will they pay profit SO kept

refractory corns by the morning and
evening applications, with a brush. of
drop of a solution of the perchloride

nights continued application. without
pain, a patient who had suffered mar

MryGLISa THE MILK OF DIFFERENT
Cows-At a meeting of dairymen one
of the members gave some interesting
details in regard to experiments in ming
ling the milk and cream of different
breeds. He found that the mixed milk
from two breeds will not produce as
much butter as the same milk churned
separately. The explanation is in the
variation in the sizes of the globules.
When a large globuled milk and small
elobuled milk are churned together the
larger globules separate first into but
ter, and the breaking of the smaller
globules appears to be retarded. When,
therefore, a Jersey COW is kept in an
AYRSHIRE or Dutch herd for the purpose
of influencing the color of the butter,
the large globuIes of the Jersey milk
are broken first in the churn, and,
while the smaller globules are being
broken, the butter which cams first is
being over-churned, and-theoretically,
at least the quality of the result is
impaired. if not the quantity lessened.
When a few Ayrshire or Dutch COWS are
kept in herd of Jerseys and the milk
churned together, both theoretically
and practically. large portion of the
butter of the small globuled milk is left
in the buttermilk in state OF globules.
A ike application may be made to herds
of native or grade cows. Unless there
is uniformity so seldom found in the e1-
ternal shapes of a grade or native herd,
it is not probable that any greater uni
for nifty exists between their functional
productions.

PROMOTION OF GERMISATIoS BY CAM
PHoR WATER A series of experiments,
undertaken by Professor Vogel, OF
Munich, to substantiate the fact that
the camphor-water promotes the growth
and prevents the willing of tulips, & {, !.
led to his discovery that old seeds,
which have almost lost the power of
termination, not only recover it when
treated with camphor-uater, but even
germinate in larger numbers and more
rapidly than fresh seeds under ordinary
conditions. Thus beans. that required
s to 10 days for g-rminstion under
ordinary conditions, developed in cam
phor-water after 8 days and cucumber

good soil, germinate soon, and without
. single failure, in camphor-wat and
what is more remarkable still, the seeds

This fact. it is suggested, might be OF

seeds, that germinate with difficulty.

A CURIOUS CoRRE PoSDESCE. - For
fourteen wears, a Spanish savant has
been studying the subject of the flow OF
sap in growing vegetation. As the re-
snIt of his Investigations, he puts forth
the theory that there is the same ebb
and flow In the circulation of sap as in
the movement of the tides, and that tine
action Of the two corresponds perfectly
in point of time. In applying this
theory to practice, the experimenter
claims that trees felled at low tide re-
sist the decayiDg Influences of time and
weather f0r a much greater time than
do those cut during the flow of the
tide. In pruning trees at the ebh OF
the tide aud OF the sap, an equal advan-
tage is claimed. In applying the prin-
ciple to orchards of the olive, orange,
lime, and other fruits, which had fallen
into decay, it was found that, by pruning
them while the tide was out, their
health and fertility were restored. 1t
is also asserted that trees SO treated are
rendered exempt from the ravages of
insects and disease. Experiments made
with different sets of silk-worms, re-
spectively fed on leaves OF trees treated
by the ordinary and by the new system,
the leaves, under the new system,
being gathered exclusively at the hours
corresponding to the ebb tide.-resulted
most decidedly in favor of the latter.

STRANGE STORIES CoSFIRMED.-Some
months ago, Darwin wrote to his dis.
pie Fritz Muller. now in Brazil, direct
ing his attention to the habits of the
leaf-cuttiDg ants. The reply contains
confirmation of Mr.. Belts observa-
tions to the effect that these ants do not
feed on the leaves they gather in such
vast quantities, but on the fungus
which grows on the leaves in their
underground chambers. On examining
the stomachs of these ants, Mr.. Muller
found no trace of vegetable tissue which
might have been derived from the
leaves, but only colorless substance,
showing under the microscope some
minute globules, probably the spores
of the fungus"
Again, as to the protective partner
ship between certain plants and their
ant inhabitants, Mr.. Muller says he has
cut down hundreds of cecropie and
never missed the ants, and adds: al
wonder that it had never occurred to
me that the trees are protected by the
ants but there can be no doubt that
this is really the case, for Young plants
of cecropiG, not yet inhabited by ants,
are often attacked by herbivorous in,
sects."

USELESS ELABORATION IN DREss.-A
writer gives the following excellent ad-
vice to the women who need it ''1u
the old days of hand sewing how patheti-

Then the sewing machine came in, as if
it were the herald of the millennium
There we're never to be any more songs

done up, in an emergency, by that
good fairy OF the household. in trice.
before you could snap your fingers and
say Jack Robinson. Oh, what oceans
of time women were going to have for
every conceivable project under the
sun But strsightway they wheeled
around, aud almost turned the blessing
into q curse. Instead OF doing rs they
had promised to do, getting through
the sewing and having time for other
things, they used sewing machines to
turn every article OF dress into a mass
of unheard elaboration. What miles
Of braiding and yards of tucking and
forests of founcins the sewing ma
chine is responsible for! 1t is resPon-
sible, too, for the elaborsteness OF
style, finish and ornament which has
distinguished the fashions since its ad-
vent. To it We owe the utter extinc-
ton of simplicity in feminine dress. 1t
was SO easy to make up simple dress
upon it like those worn, perforce, IN
the old days of the needle, in very
short time, that the temptation to put
on few ruffiss or folds was not to he
resisted by any woman of artistic
tendencies-and that means ninety nine
women ont of every hundred, for they
are nearly all born with more or less of
the artistic instinct for adorning and
beautifying-and this trait of feminine
character, for lack OF proper training
and proper channels OF outlet. becomes
in woman one of her faults when 1t
should have been of her virtues.

The LRSoTHEyISo YEARS OF MAN.
In an interesting paper by DR.. E iward
Jarvis, in the fifth annual report OF the
Massachusetts, Board of Health, the
following vital statistics, past and
present, Of various countries, strikingly
show how the advantage OF civilization
has prolonged life: In ancient Rome.
in the period of 200 to 500 years after
the Christian era, the average duration
of life in the most favored class WAS
thirty years. In the present century
the average longevity of persons of the
same class is fifty years. In the six
teenth century the average longevity IN
Geneva was 81 81 years ; between 1914
and 1893, it was 40 GO. and as large n
portion now live to 40 as lived to 43.
300 years ago. In 1893 the British
Government borrowed money by selling
annuities on lives from infancy upward,
based on the basis of average longevity.
The treasury received the price, and
paid the annuities regularly As long as
the annuitants lived. The contract was
mutually satisfactory and profitable.
Ninety-seven years later Mr.. Pitt issued
another tontine or scale of annuities,
on the basis of the same expectation OF
life as in the previous century. These
latter annuitants. however, lived 80
much longer than their predecessors
that it proved to be very costly loan
to the Government. 1t was found that
while 10. 900 of each sex in the first ton
tine died under the age of %. only 5, 772
males and 6, 4l6 females in the second
tontIne died at the same age 100 years
later. The average life of the annui
tants of 1893 was 20 3 years, while those
of 1870 lived 33 years and 9 months
after they were 30 years old. From
these facts. says DR.. Jarvis, it is plain
that life, in many forms and manifesto
tions, and probably in all, can be ex-
panded in vigor, intensity and duration
under favorable circumstances. For
this purpose it is only necessary that
the circumstances amid which, and the
conditions in which, any form of life is
placed, should be brought in harmony
with the law appointed for its being.
