Humming-Bird's Nest.

Burroughs, in his charming little book,
Wake Robin, says it is an event in ones life
to find a humming-bird's nest. The event
happened to me without any effort on my
part. Looking up from seat in the grove,
| saw the ruhy-throat drop down on its nest,
like shining emerald from the clouds; it
lid not pause upon the edge of the nest, but
dropped Immediately upon it. The nest
vas situated upon an oak twig, and was
about the size of black walnut, and from
where | sat it looked more like an excres-
nee than nest. 1t is in the fork of two
twigs; it is firmly glued at the base to the
upper twig. | waited for the tiny occupant
TO leave the nest, and then with the aid OF a
step-ladder had no difficulty in looking into
it. | found two white eggs about as large
as mediun-sized peas. Sometimes the male
would drop upon the nest when the female
left. | never disturbed them while they
were sitting upon it; but often before |
could get away, when thought them out Of
sight, the male would suddenly appear, and
greater demonstrations OF anger never saw
manifested by any bird. lie would rufile
up his tiny feathers, and seem nearly twice
AS large, and dash almost into my face, max
ing a squeaking nose-scolding and threat
ening until he had driven me quite dis
lance. He soon learned that | was very
much afraid of him, so he turned tyrant,
aud often drove me from my seat in the
grove when had not been near his dwell
ing | always submitted to the tiny ty-
rant, for what business had | to be pry-
ing into his domestic affairs When the
young were Matched they were not larger
than bumble-bees, but in week they had
flown. cut the twig off, and found the
nest was composed of the same soft, downy
substance which had noticed in the pc
wees nest, but it is matted so closely to-
gether that it is almost as firm as the softer
kinds OF felt; it is marvel of skill and
beauty, and is completely covered with Itch
ens.-Hdrpers.

overcome the influence of the stock and to
preserve all its characteristics unimpaired,
no matter upon what stock it may be grated
But with others it is not so. We have in
our orchard two trees of Fameuse, of the
same age, growing within two rods of each
other, grated at the same time with scions
from the same tree, and now both of bearing
age. The fruit appears quite similar to the
eye, but on tasting, while one is a perfect
Fameuse, the other has hardly the most dis
tant resemblance to that variety One is
grated on an apple stock, the other on the
Siberian. DR.. Hathaway, Of Milton, has
row of FIVE very handsome Fameuse trees.
They are all in full bearing. Three of these
produce striped apples, and two produce
fruit that is red all over. In quality, when
eaten there is little difference; but the red
kind will keep all winter, while the striped
ones keep only till New Years. The attempt
has been made to perpetuate these "Winter
Fameuse," by grating, but when scions from
them are set in other trees they give fruit
identical with the striped or common kind,
and keep only till New Years. These trees
were all from the same nursery, and it is
fair inference that the difference is due to
difference in the stocks.
We will not undertake to multiply in
stances of this effect of stock upon scion,
though it could easily be done. All modern
writers on pomology recognize the fact.
There is no known rule by which we can
foretell the action of particular stock on
particular scion. Even with the apple
on apple stocks, difference is often seen.
We suppose that DIR. Hathaway's trees
are all on apple stocks. But as the crab
stock is more foreign to the apple than
its own species, we object to its use,
unless some good reason can be given
As we do not find it to impart superior
hardness Gas some have claimed), and as
we do find it often to affect the quality Of
he fruit, and to give it short-livei tree, we
shall continue to prefer for our own use,
stocks raised from seed of the hardest com
mon apples to those raised from crab seeds.

The Earth as a Time Keeper.

problem which is attracting TO its study
astronomers, relates to the earth as time
keeper. We measure time by dividing either
the period during which the earth revolves
around the sun, or that in which it turns on
its own axis, BY the first method we
measure year; by the second, day. The
earth, according to some astronomers, is
losing time. Through two causes, the sun 70
attraction, and the friction, so TO speak, of
the tides, the earth each year revolves more
slowly on its axis. The speculative ques-
tion which these astronomers are discussing
is whether in the end the earth will stop
its revolution upon its axis, and will pre-
sent always the same face TO the sun. When
that event occurs, there will be perpetual
day in one part of the earth, and perpetual
night in another But there is no occasion
for immediate alarm. The rate at which
the earth is supposed to lose time, only
shortens the year by half second in cen
tury. There are more than thirty-one and a
half million seconds in year. Therefore
if the earth ever does cease to revolve on its
axis, it will be more than six thousand
million years before it will stop Youths
Companion.

Prices Of Cows for Forty Years.

William Sheldon, of Upper Providence,
well known as one of the most extensive
dealers in Montgomery county, Pennsylva-
MIA, says that previous TO 1885, and during
that year, good COWS could be bought for from
eighteen to twenty-four dollars. From 1885
to 1896, the average price was twenty dollars.
In 1887 to 1888, fifty-three dollars. In 1889,
the averge price was thirty-nine dollars per
head; in 1910, average thirty dollars with
dull trade during 1871, the average price
went down to nineteen dollars, at which
price the market stood the two following
years of 1871 and 1912 in 1913, there was
a slight raise, the average going up to
twenty-five dollars in the next year, there
was raise of about one dollar, the price
twenty-three dollars per head; in 1916,
twenty-four dollars per head; in 1917 and
1915, twenty-five to twenty-five dollars; in
1919, 1850, 1851 and 1852, the average
twenty-six dollars; in 1853 the average was
the same, but the market was not so strong
in 1854, the average was twenty-eight dollars
the highest price was forty dollars and the
lowest twenty-five and twenty-three dollars.
In 1855 and 1856, the average was thirty
dollars. In the spring of 1857, the market
was excitable, and the average for the year
reached thirty-four dollars; but prices went
down very low at the end of the season. In
1858 and 1859, the market was low and
hard, averaging twenty-nine dollars. In 1860
and 1861, good lots brought thirty-five dol
lars per head. During the next three years
good prices were obtained, the average be-
ing about sixty-fve dollars per head. Some
good lots averaged over one hundred dollars.
Since then markets have been high and the
drovers have done well. just now, there is
downward tendency, and the prospect is
that prices will continue to decline for some

Competitive Trials.

However averse farmers may be to sport
ing horse men, they may certainly learn
something of them in the care they take of
their animals, and the strenuous efforts they
make to develop those qualities that make
them valuable for the purpose they are used
for. And the following observations of a
prominent man of that class are worthy of
notice, if for no other reason than that they
touch upon this very point of fair competi-
tive trials of one breed, or one herd against
rival breeds or herds, to settle the vexed
questions of superiority which are endlessly
disputed without any sufficient basis of facts
and results by which true conclusion can
be reached. The writer we quote is an.
swering the complaints as to the small num-
Der of very fast horses, runners or trotters,
that can be got out of all that are reared in
every section of the country. He says: aft
the breeders of butter cows would organize
for their animals, in the question of the
amount of butter that could be made from
given quantity of food, by bringing the
animals together under the supervision OF
managers who would subject all to the same
conditions, as is done in the question Of
speed with the thoroughbred horse, it would
soon be found that prize winners would be
as few among them as with the horses, and
that there would be less uniformity until the
system had progressed long enough to pro-
duce widespread influence. To be good
butter COW is one thing to be very great
one in the estimation of select circle Of
admirers is little more but to comply with
strict, yet impartial and reasonable condi-
tions, under a committee that will see them
enforced upon all alike and then be a but
ter COW among butter cows, would set a
standard the results of which would open
wide the eyes of many an enthusiast, who
at present thinks that he possesses the cream
of the nation. With all the objections
that can be raised in opposition, believe
this might be successfully accomplished by
means of a series of annual sweepstakes,
and that the public record thereby estab-
lished if continued long enough, would so
Enthusiastically indicate where the best blood
was to be had, that from its use breed
would result that would far surpass anything
in existence to-day"
These remarks are suggestive to every
thinking dairyman, but it would seem to be
difficult to make the necessary trials except
upon special farms, like those of an agricul-
tural college or an experimental station, suf-
ficiently endowed to allow of the necessary
outlay of time and labor, without regard to
any immediate profit. 1t is vain to look for
anything conclusive from tests made upon
an ordinary farm, where profit is prime
