A scientific Job.

Some time since stranger arrived IN De
troit in order to consult from one to "a dozen
surgeons about his tongue, that useful mem
Der being hampered with a cancer. The
doctors took a look at the tongue, shook
their heads and said: "Hum-hum." Gath
cred il solemn council. they agreed that the
tongue must come of, or at least about a
third of it. They assured the man that they
could make very neat job of it, and once
his tongue got well they could splice it, as
sailors splice rope, and give him as much
tongue and as much talk as ever. The pa
tient consented, and the new tongue was in
operation yesterday for the first time. The
surgeons were jubilant, and they invited
our reporter to call around and see the Job
He went. He found the patient sitting up
looking pretty fair, and willing to give all
the information he had about him.

One of the surgeons stood by, and he
clapped his hands with glee and shouted

After brief discu ssion with the surgeon
on the antiquity and uses and abuses OF

and asked:

"And how did you like this splicing bust.

"He feels all right, of COURSE" chuckled
the surgeon. Why. man. he works that
tongue equal to e parrot! Show me another
such job, and Ill give you thousand dol

The reporter asked him if women's tongues
were ever afflicted with cancer, and the
surgeon replied that he never heard of a
case; they were never at rest long enough
for any stf1iction to take root.
"And you think you can in TINA manage
your artificial tongue, do you'" asked the

back and wondered how the splice was
effected. He had a dim idea of boiler
rivets, shOe-pateh cement, water-hme, ETC.,
and finally asked to see the Job. The pa
tient opened his mouth in response to the
request, and the surgeon grabbed the
tongue, pulled it this way and that, moved
it up and down and exclaimed:
"Nicest job ever exhibited in the profes-
eior! call it the invisible splice, but you
can see the junction right along there. The

marked the reporter as he rose to go.
"Glohl plol OH !" replied the man, smiling
blandly.

They have tired all his facts many times

MAKE NOTE OF TT.-Keeping a diary is
troublesome business, but keeping a small
blank book always in your side pocket, with
pencil in it, is easy enough. In this book
man should set down every important item of
business which is necessary TO be looked after.
For example, such needed repairs about the
farm, garden, orchard, dwelling, barn, and 9th.
er outdoor affairs. Again, those who write for
rural papers, often have ideas on subjects
which present themselves to the mind, and
which they would like to put in due form for
publication at some other time. A good plan
is to make note OF this in memorandum
book whenever the thought may suggest itself;
and then, at your leisure, you can give that
thought ample expression in words, and there
by benefit others. by giving them the results
of your experience. Besides these things, such
book is useful as repository for messages
given enc by others, or as safe place to put
down thoughts they occur, of such matters
of business or pleasure as one may desire, at
some other time and place, to look into. l
have carried such book for years, and find it
great help to my memory-so much so, in
deed, that would not wilfully lay it aside
Try it awhile and judge for yourself

@>Two brothers named Gaff have established
a mammoth hennery in Colorado, ten miles from
Denver. 1t covers four acres which is laid out
like village, with streets and avenues, along
which are built long rows of houses of various
designs. Regular families of hens are assigned
to these houses, and it is found that they quickly
domestcate themselves, without troubling their
neighbors. The population of the village is about
two thousand. divided closely into social ciques
of Brahmas, Cochins, Shanghaes, and Dork-
ings, and the chief products are eggs and spring
chickens. Sunday included, the industrious
matrens of the village turn ont daily from forty
to fifty dozens of eggs, which are sold in Denver
for from thirty TO fifty cents dozen. The broth
ers Gaff express but single regret, and that is
that they did not found their colony fifteen years
ago, when eggs brought five dollars dozen, and
spring chicken was worth penny weight of
gold dust.

SEED PoTAToEs.-An old Maine farmer, in Civ
ing his idea of seed potatoes, says that we use
too ripe seed when we propagate from tubers
that have lain in the ground until dead ripe. He
says that plants that are propagated by tubers
require different treatment from those propaga-
ted by seeds. Our corn and grains that we use
for seed we like to have stand little longer
than the main crop, and become perfectly ma
tured On the same principle our corn is select
ed from the ripest, best developed ears and kerr
nels.
But potatoes for seed should be dug and placed
in cool, dark cellar just as soon as a majority
of them will slightly crack open in boiling
This is most invariably while the tops are yet
green and growing fast. The tubers are then in a
more vigorous state. Discennect them from the
pareLt stalk at that time, and they retain their
vigor.
Instead of deteriorating, as most of us know
the older sorts have, their vitality is increased,
and they yield better, with less tendency to rot.
As long ago as 1915 and subsequently,, observa-
ton led him to make some experiments TO test
the theory and he finds it the proper course to
pursue.
1t is not often that the late planted potatoes
are better for seed than those planted early
The lateness Of their planting probably prevents
ripening, hence the principle of above reasoning
would be in force.

FooD FOR YOU'VE CHlcKENs-They want no
food for many hours after they are hatched, as
they are then digesting the yolk of the egg,
which constitutes their first food, and acquiring
strength to run about. When they begin to
peck, they should be fed with soft food and very
small grain nquestionably, the best soft food
IS an egg beaten up with tablespoonful Of milk,
and heated in the oven or by the side of a fire
until ii sets it 10 soft cusard. Chickens fed or
partially fed on this make wonderful progress.
If they are to make large fowls, they must be fed
soon after daylight; if, as is too often the case,
they are left hungry fer three or four hours in
the morning, they are always stunned in their
growth. They must be fed The first thing, and
while they are young, every two or three hours
during the day.
