The CataleOtic Rooster.

There is q curious experiment which any
one who is the possesses of rooster can try
for himself with success, and which has
never been positively explained. 1t is an an
Gent one, in fact it is two hundred years and
over old, since it was commented upon by
Kircher in 1916. Still it is none the less
curious, and almost as much subject of
speculation now as when first observed. It is
performed thus: Select dark-colored table
with smooth top; place it so that narrow
streak of sunlight will fall across the surface.
The sunlight is not absolutely material to
success, but we have found the desired result
to be more quickly obtained when it is pres
emit
Then set the rooster on the table and hold
his head down SO that his beak comes in con-
tact with the wood. Now, with a piece of
chalk, and in the sunlight, draw straight
line from the birds beak. Move the chalk
very slowly, and by the time the line is a
couple of feet in length the rooster will fall
into cataleptic or trance-ii condition, and,
although the hands are removed from his
body. he will remain perfectly rigid for
Mute or two. 1t is said that black line on
q white surface will produce the same effect.
Hens may be similarly treated, but it takes
much longer to get them into the trance state,
it being necessary to hold the head down
several minutes before they come under the
influence.
This phenomenon is termed hypnotism, or
the result Of curious sleep-producing prop
erty incident to the fxation of the attention |
upon some bright object. It is by some con-
sidered partial paralyzation of the brain. |
The same can be done upon human beings. |

THE SURRENDER.
On the second night active hostilities we're

closely. On the following morning the insur-

against such odds, they remained in the FORE

forward and closed the forecastle door and
made it fast, the men inside Offering no re-
sistence and keeping quiet. Then thorough
but fruitless search was made for the mates,
and the captain, still unable to believe that
they had been killed, was forced to think
that they were in the forecastle with the
mutineers
The forecasile window on the starboard side
had been nailed 10 on account of the sea.
The steward tore off some of the boards, and
look d in to see if he could see any one.
He saw Miller looking out and fred at him,
but was ordered by the captain not to fire
again, as he might hit the mates. He then

Then the expedient was tried of pouring boil

throw it, and the men inside were able to
avoid it easily. The captain bored

Hungarian Garss For Cows.

The following is the testimony of Dr..
Loring respecting Hungarian grasses: 1
believe i can make more milk with this
grass, cut and mixed with cornmeal and
shorts, than l can with the best timothy
hay cut and mixed in the same manner.
And when you remember that you can
raise on ordinary land, by sowing the
seed of Hungarian grass late in June,
from two and half to three and a half
ions of good fodder to the acre, and that
this crop can be sown after we have as
certained whether we are to have good
crop Of hay or not, you will see the value
of the grass. have such a high opin-
ion of it that on my farm l have this
year and last year raised from IS to 100
tons of it for the purpose of feeding to
my milch cows during the winter.

How to Can Cora.

Mrs. Emma Moody, Lady Assistant
Steward, Mt. Vernon, Ind, Grange com
municates to the Hoosier Patron the fol.
lowing plan for canning corn:
1. Get the best sweet corn, scald it on
the ear and cut it off while hot, put a
pan over a kettle of boiling water, to
keek it hot until you get enough to fill a
can. Have some weak brine boiling in
a porcelain kettle. Fill your can within
an inch of the top with corn ; cover the
bottom with brine, leaving room for it
to swell, seal the can while boiling hot.
2. Dissolve one and ne-fourth ounces
of tartaric acid in one half pint of water,
cut the corn from the cob; put it in a
vessel over the fire and bring toa boiling
point; to each pint of corn allow one ia
blespoonful of the solution. Boil one
half hour, stirring occasionally, then put
the corn in quart cans and seal tightly.
When wanted for use, put the corn into
a bowl and stir in two thirds Of tea
spoonful of soda to each quart of corn.
Let it stand one hour before cooking.
3. Cut the corn off the cob and pack
closely in quart cans then solder so that
every particle Of air is excluded; set the
cans in kettle of cold water and bring
to q boil: let the corn boil two and half
hours in this sized cans (larger cans will
require more time); wher done, pour
cold water into the kettle to cool the cans
and enable you to remove them carefully.

A warning to WidOwers.

The Toronto National says: "The
Hamilton Spectator chronicles the ap-
pearance of a specter at Grimsby. The
haunted man was widower known as
Old Kitchen, whose deceased wife had,
before her death, a year ago, threatened
to haunt him if he ever had anything to
do with another woman. He promised
to comply with her wishes, and kept his
word until q short time since, when in
company with man named Taylor, he
drove to Smithville to visit couple of
young ladies. On his return home, late
at night, Kitchen became very uneasy,
his agitation increasing as they ap-
preached an old church, in the graveyard
attached to which his wife was buried.
When opposite the spot "the white-robed
form of woman was seen to rise from
the graveyard and float through the air
toward Them Kitchen screamed out in
an agony of terror, the horse gave vent
to wild snort of fear, and ran down the
mountain at breakneck speed, and the
apparition continued to follow them,
floating through the atmosphere in terri
bic proximity to the faithless widower.
The other man states that it looked like
the corpse of a woman with dead clothes
on. The face was quite dead and ex-
pressionless, and the eyes were closed;
one hand was extended toward Kitchen,
almost touching his head, and the other
pointing toward Smithville.' Finally
the buggy was smashed against tree
and the occupants thrown out, and when
they recovered from the fall the ghost
was gone"

Cheap Shelter For Stock.

EDITOR RURAL WORLD: Now is a
good time to begin to think of preparing
shelter for your stock. They will need
it next winter wher the cold northwest
ers come, bringing snow, sleet and rain /;
these make our stock feel very uncom-
Portable. A good and cheap shelter for
stock, especially sheep, may be made by
putting forks into the ground, and lay
ing on poles and covering with corn
stalks, always having it face to the south
and east. On the north and west rick
up your fodder and stack your hay.
This will be good wind-break. Such
shelters cost but little and are worth
very much. Many farmers that know
the value of shelter are often deferred
from making them, because they don't
have time and means at hand to put up
nice sheds and barns, thinking that by
next year they will certainly be able to
get up sheds, and thus their sheep and
cattle are suffered to stand out in the
cold every winter. Try it yourself next
winter, and see how much it will pay
you on the investment. Two or three
days and a few. loads Of stalks FODDER
will not cost much anyway. The time
for cutting up corn will soon be here.
Don't forget it. If you think stock
don't need shelter, just go out next win
ter into your feed lot, when there is
neither tree nor shrub, and stand facing
a Northwestern for an hour or two. Its a
very convincing argument and one that
is sure to make an impression. Think
about it now and act accordingly.

Protection to Sheep.

1t is requested on behalf of Fayett
County Council, that all Kentucky ex.
changes not opposed to the views ex.
pressed in the following preamble and
resolutions will copy them, and the gran
ges in every part of the state take action
in the matter.
The committee to whom was referred
the matter of the protection of sheep from
dogs, have had the same under consider
alton, and beg leave to report as fellows
There is nothing which brings a surer
and better return to our farmers than
lambs for the early market With our
fertile soil, fine grass and favorable eli
mate, we can always have our lambs in
the market in advance of the western
states.
What better could we desire than 81 80
for lambs from ewes which cost 50 the
August previous? Nor is there much
danger that the market will not continue;
on the contrary it is constantly increas-
ing as it seems that this is the best and
healthiest food. But our farmers are de-
tered from this business by the vast de-
struction of sheep by dogs, and the con-
slant apprehension of losses from this
source. The attention of the legislature
has often been called to this matter, but
no adequate remedy has yet been de-
vised. The seriousness of the grievances
to the farmer does not seem to have been
felt or appreciated by the legislature.
The grangers are now in a position to
make their wishes known, and to demand
adequate legislation on the subject.
We know that the actual losses from
the destruction of sheep by dogs is enor-
nous, and we know further that this
business would be greatly increased in
Kentucky if there were any security
from such destruction. Not only on our
costly lands, but on the rolling and hill
lands throughout the state, this business
would be rendered most remunerative.
The grangers of this State then can do
no greater or better work than to secure
the passage of such law as shall effec-
tually relieve us from tie depredations
of worthless dogs, and shall make sheep
husbandry a safe-as it is sure to be
profitable To this end, be it
Resolved, that the chair do appoint
committee of-members, who shall
have their expenses paid, and shall wait
on the next legislature and secure, if
possible, the passage ofsuch law as shall
protect sheep from destruc-
ton by dogs.
Resolved further. That the secretary
shall cause this report to be publised in
the newspapers, and have also printed
circular thereof, which he shall send to
the various county councils and oranges
in the state, requesting their cooperation
with us in this matter, and requesting
them to notify this council of their &C.
ton in the premises.-Lerington Home

The Improved Poultry.

It is now pretty generally admitted by
most western farmers that the improved
poultry pays as we'll in proportion as
the improved breeds of hogs or sheep;
that is on general principles. Of course
the great mass of poultry Is raised and
sold by the farmers. The car loads of
poultry and eggs shipped from all over
the west, come from the farmers, and
since the introduction of the improved
breeds, the supply is rapidly increasing.
No farmer can long afford to raise the
common chickens. If you can't have all
full bloods, get thoroughbred rooster,
either Cochin or q Brahma, and you
will be so pleased with the cross, that
you will soon work into full bloods.
They mature quicker, grow larger, sell
for more money, lay more eggs but re-
quire a little more care, with warm.
clean food, not too much corn; eggs may
be had all winter as we'll as summer.
Enterprising farmers who have not al
ready got the improved breeds of poul-
try on their farms should now prepare
suitable quarters for few of these popu-
lar and profitable pets, for you will be
sure to get the poultry fever if you at,
tend the fall fairs; but when you get the
improved breeds, don't try to get fancy
prices until you propose going regularly
into it, and take five or ten years to learn
how to breed them successfully, and get
reputation as an experienced breeder.
It will pay better to leave that alone to
the professional breeders. but as farmers
to raise poultry and eggs to sell. But
you don't like to kill these fine chickens;
only keep out the best of them for breed
ing, and sell them just as you did the
others, and you will find it will pay you
one hundred per cent. better to raise the
improved breeds of poultry for market.
than the old barn-yard variety.

In France, the gardeners cut off the
stems Of the tomato plants down to the
first cluster of flowers which appera on
them, thus impelling the sap into the
buds below the cluster, which push up
vigorously, producing another cluster.
When these appear, the branch to which
they belong is topped down to their bud
and this is done five times successfully.
By this means the plants become stout
dwarf bushes not over eighteen inches
high, and they are kept erect in the
rows by sticks or strings. This treatment
produces fruit which ripen early and is
of excellent. quality.

A gentleman, anxious to ascertain the
effect of transplanting by night, instead
of day, made an experiment with the
following results: He transplanted ten
cherry trees while in the bloom. COM
mencing at four o'clock in the morning.
Those transplanted during the daylight
shed their blossoms, producing little or
no fruit, while those planted in the dark
maintained their condition fully. He
did the same with ten dwarf trees, after
the fruit was one-third grown. Those
transplanted during the day shed their
fruit; those transplanted during the
night perfected their crop, and showed
no injury from having been removed.
With each of these trees he removed
some earth with the roots. The incident
is fully vouched for, and if few more
similar experiments produce like re-
suit it will be a strong argument to hor-
ticulturists, etc., to do such work at
night.-Rral american.
