REED BIRDS FOR FARMERs.-Every
farmer can raise his own crop of Reed
Birds in this section of country, at n
very little expense. On every farm
there is half or fourth acre of land
that can be dispensed with which he
should SOW with ordinary millet seed
(Which is not too late yet to dO), and
when this is maturing in September it
will extract reed-birds in great numbers,
and they are at his mercy. As they
feed early, he can have broil for
breakfast; or his supper can be made
temptingly appetizing. The plot of
ground be in easy reach of bush fence,
from which he can approach within
gun-shot on at least two sides. When
none OF these are at hand a "blind"
may be built of a few boards, as place
of concealment, which can be removed
when the season" is over.

Medicine and Animdls.-The action of
medicaments on different animal species
has not been very fully calculated. Herr
Haeckel, it may be known, has proved
the immunity of rabbits as regards
belladonna, and he has made some very
curious experiments on the harmless
ness of plants in the nightshade family
i'm general to rodents and marsupials.
A French doctor has lately called atten-
ton to the fact, when he has often OBJ
served in druggists shops, that hem
lock seed was eaten by mice witt out
apparently producing fatal effects upon
them. He has recently succeeded in
supporting two mice for eight days on
hemlock seed. They ate it at first with
repugnance, and even appeared to suffer
from the diet. At the end of the eight
days one of the mice seemed very ill,
the other was all right. Next day he
found the sick mouse half eaten by the
other, which continued in good health,
and which he liberated few dsys af-
terward. But during these eight days
the animals had eaten hemlock seed in
quantities which would have been fatal
to man.

AGRlCULTURAL.


The PIG.-Black or flesh colored pigs
are freesr from skin disease In hot eli
mates. The choice is practically be-
tween the Essex and Berkshires for
males with which to improve the native
stock of hardy grubbers of the root-or-
die variety. Those who have tried the
former have been delighted at first, but
after few years began to recall with
longing the lean hams and the slim but
solid and flavorous bacon of the old race
horse breed. The trouble with the
Essex p.gs for the south is that they are
not active enough. They are the eat
and-sleep and wake-to-eat kind, and
their grades are, of course, like them.
The side fat is superb, and so is the leaf
lard, and so far the breed is all that
could be desired; but the hams and
shoulders are too fat for profit, and the
ham is not marbled with fat like the
Berkshires. These (the Berks) are much
more enterprising, more wide awake,
less easily controlled, but good foragers.
Their grades are wonderful improve
ment on the original stock, may be
made very fat, and yet the proportion
between the fat and lean in the hams.
shoulders, and side pork or bacon, is
such as to develop and preserve the ex-
cellencies of the meat. The hams are
large, rich and juicy, with diffused fat.
Berkshires are not quite 80 easily fat
tened when penned and Systematically
fed as the Essex grade, but they will
take much better care of themselves in
the woods, and when penned or fastened
for fattening, may be finished off with
half the feed the original ''land pixies"
would require.
With many northern and western
breeders, the Essex is more profitable
pig than the Berkshire, because his na-
lure leads him to take little exercise, SO
that all he eats goes TO flesh and fat.
Respiration, which, if rapid, reduces
tat greatly, is with him never accele-
rated by moving about, and with plenty
of feed, the sole burden of life is to di-
gest it. This breed is pre-eminent
among the black breeds, and excelled
by none as fat producers.-Americdn

UNBoLTED FLoUR.-The advocates of
unbOlted flour so long held complete
sway in our public journals that the
following from the American Miller has
at least the appearance of novelty !:
"The disparaging comparisons which
Grahamites made between bolted and
unbolted flour by means of analysis
showing the constituent parts of each,
seemed an unanswerable argument until
some thoughtful German determined to
analyze the bran after it left the system,
when 10! it was almost entirely un-
changed. Itthus appears that the human
stomach Is not powerful enough to
effect that decomposition which advo-
Gates of unbOlted flour assume takes
place. 1t also shows that the analogy
between man and lower orders of crea-
tion fails TO hold good in this case as in
many others. Psychologists have de-
termined the fact that the woody fibre
contained in bra acts as an irritant on
the coating of the stomach, causing
amount OF Inflammation which, instead
of stimulating digestion, retards it. We
know precisely what the Grahamite
would reply to these objections. He
would say that the fact of valuable
nutritive elemeuts being locked up in
the bran is prima facie evidence that the
bran was intended for food. Now,
valuable nutritive elements are con-
tanned in a fish-bone, but you could
hardly persuade disciple of Graham
to swallow one. We cannot see any
more evidence that one was designed
for food tnan the other, for the bran is
which the wheat carries for its protec-
ton. The fact of this vegetable skeleton
or pod containing elements of nutrition
is no more than could be expected; for
what is good to make one frame work
is good material for another, but is no
evidence that it will make another"
This presents the question Of the use
of unbolted fiour in a new light, and
we give it to our readers without any
Endorsement and for just what they find

Alleged Poison in Sugdrs.-Some atten-
ton was attracted last year by nrmeI-
Gus letters, published by Mr.. L. Ros-
sitter, of Chicago, H., in the Chicago
Tribune, with regard to alleged poison
Gus effects of sugars. Mr.. Rossiter sug-
gested that large proportion Of the
sugars in the market might contain
poisonous impurities arising from the
use chemicals in their manufacture, his
opinion being based upon the effects of
the of use of sugars as food upon persons
of weak or deranged digestion. In the
american Journal Of Pharmacy, we find
accounts of analyses made by Messrs. J
5. johnson and ). f. Parkill, of four
teen samples of sugars and syrups fur
nished by Mr.. Rossiter. Neither lead
nor arsenic was found, nor did the ash,
by ordinary systematic qualitative an
alysis, reveal other constituents than
sodium, potassium, calcium, magne-
sium, alumium, and iron compounds,
and sulphates, chlorides, carbOuates,
and silica. No zinc or tin was found.
Ii thus appears that the sugars of COM
merse do notcontain the injurious ingre-
dients suggested by Mr.. Rossiter.

SCIENrIFIC.

The mode Of development of deers'
antlers formed the subject of valuable
essay, delivered by Professor Theodore
Gill, before the National Academy of
Sciences, New York at its recent meet
ing. The following were the chief con-
clusions reached: Antlers are horn-like
appendages of frontal processes,
peculiar to the deer, developed periodi-
cally and cOncomitantly with the sexual
organs, chiefly in the males, either as
simple spikes or with a tendency to BIZ
furcstion, especially (but not exclusive
ly) In the direction of greatest or axial
growth. The notifications of the antlers
and their contour In the various forms
of the family. are chiefly dependent on
and determined by the diverse exhibi-
tions of this tendency, and examples OF
several kinds are furnished BY the
genera Cervus, Cariacus, .also Rusa,
Pudua,) and Elaphurus. As is general
ly known, in all the deer the antlers OF
the first year, at least, are simple spikes.
In Pudua, the antlers remain simple
and never bifurcate. In Cervus, the
direction of gsswth is continuously up
ward and backward, and dichotomiza-
tion takes place from the hindmost
prong of the preceding year, the
antlers being differentiated, however,
Into posterior ''boams" and anterior
"brow antlers." In Cariacus, the di-
rectioD of greatest growth, is DETECTED
and the main axis continuous subspiral-
ly forward into the hOmolOgues of the
anterior upper prOngs OF the fourth
year. Rusa exhibits similar tendency.
In Elaphurus, the direction of princi-
pal growth is upward from the base and
forward, and the antlers are differen-
tiated into two elements, % the an
terror being homolOgOus with the brow
antlers of Cervus and functiOnally
usurping the place of the main ones, and
(2) the pOsteriOr being correspondinglv
reduced and thrown backward.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN-Sn: With
out impugning Mr.. Bevlns purpose to be fair
and truthful. l am sure that his view OF the
effects of drought in Caiforniaths year is great
ly exaggerated. Evidently he judged the whole
State by tho part which he saw: and the con-
illusions drawn therefrom cannot be trusted as
every well informed Californian knows. Hisrc-
port OF the sad condition OF crops In San joaquin
valley Ia probably true; but he errs in supposing
that said valley Is the great wheat producing
section Of the State. On the contrary. 1t is never
relied upon for large production because 1t Is
only in an exceptionally favorable season that
its natural fertility is available without irrga-
ton. the facilities for which have IA yet been
provided to only limited extent. The entire
failure in that valley this year. while locally
disastrous. would have but slight effect in de-
tcrmining the question OF an average crop for
the entire State.
