The Month of January.
when the grass grows in Janiveer,
1t grows the wOrst fort all the wear

"When the grass grows in Janiyeer.
1t grows the worst fort all the wear. -
January IS so named from the Roman
Janus, who was the porter of heaven,
having The surname of Patuiet, the
opener. lie was represented with two
faces, one of which looked, over the old
year; the other forward to the new.
lie p eilded over the beginning or OPEN
ing of everything, henca the first month
OF the year was called after him, when
the Roman year was altered by Numa
PJmpilus (wbo died 672 b. c. from ten
months beginning in March. to l2
months adding January and FEBRUARY.
In his original character Janus was the
God or the sun, and worshiped as such
by the Etruscansan and the Romans, The
temple of Janus (which was really a
covered passage or gate at Rome) was
left open il wars as symbol that the
god had gone out to assist the Roman
arms, while it was continually shut in
the time of peace.
Ga News Years Day, which was the
festival of god Janus, the Romans gave
presents to Ole another. Thus ancient
was the origin or the modern custom of
January festivities.
''As the day lengthens, o..

y warm January is regarded by the
farmer with anything but satisfaction.

The Economic Value OF Forests

Doubtless you have all seen during
the last ten years, numerous references
in newspapers, magazines, ETC., TO ths
necessity of forest preservation. This
plea, however, even in these country, is
not as novel and of as recent date as
| may be imagined. As far back as our
colonial times, the fear OF an exhaustion
of lumber supply alarmed New Eng
land legislators and as early as 1SO1,
the Massachusetts, Society offered its
prizes for timber planting. We may
smile over the fears OF those times
when railroads had not yet revolution
lied methods of transportation, bring
ing the whole world under contribution
for supplies. Yet. while those fears
were premature, they were nevertheless
prophetic, and the very railroads which
have opened up the vast forest areas of
the Northwest have brought rapidly
near to US the possibility of time when
scarcity of wood may be felt. For the
haalage over so long distances of so
bulky freight, in addition to other OBJ
stacles, allows only small amount of
the timber growing in those distant
forests to be proftably moved to market.
and from fifty TO sixty per cent, often
even more, of the trees cut is left in the
woods to rot or to furnish food for the
yearly conflaorations. Even now, in
part of tree less than one foot IN d.
ameter is considered Improbable, and
is left in the woods.
But while-as l will show you farther
oI-the fear OF those early alarmists is
with renewed force, and upon a more
reasonable basis, again pressed upon US,
other considerations besides waning
lumber supply compel our attention to
forest preservation. A vague idea that
some connection existed between the
forest cover and the climatic conditions
of country has been prevalent from
olden times THE tree is the mother of
the fOuntain,'' or 1.-THE father of the
rain," are significant expressions Of the
sages OF old. But it was dne to the
representations of such eminent natural
lists as Humboldt, Bcussingault and
Becquerel. that the important and COM.
plicated part which the forests play in
the economy of nature was first clearly
recognized. And now, in the light of
recent scientificant experiments and In
vestigatioDs, added to the historical
evidence Of earlier times, we are forced
10 consider the forests of /. cnuntrv in q
fourfold aspect.

A Sleep for Seven years.

Herman Haines has slept almost con-
tinually for seven years. He has been
treated dozen different ways. but no
one has been able to break his protract-
ed slumber. Haines is IOw forty-nine
years old, and ten years ago was a
prosperous farmer in st. Clair county.
Ill. AT that time he was hale and
hearty, his weight being $50 pounds.
In 1877 he was stricken with fever and
ague, and in the spring of 1850 moved
to st. Charles, Winona county, Minn.
A few months after his arrival he fell
asleep. and has lived in this strange
condition for more than seven years.
In the summer of 1884 he aWoke one
morning, arose from his bed, put on
his clothes and went about his work
When tolC that he had sIumbered four
years lie grew Indignant and would not
belieYe that he had slept more than a
night, until led before a mirror and
shown his long black hair and beard
and sunken cheeks and eyes. For a
month his health and habits seemed
perfect. He went 20 bed at the usual
hour, slep: through the night and arose
with the lark. In August, 1884, his
wife became very i'll, and Haines was
obliged to deprive himself of needed
rest. One night, while taking her a
cup of tea, he suddenly fell asleep.
dropped the cup, sank TO the floor and
had tc be taken to his bed, from which
he has never risen. He lies on his
back, bIeathes naturally, and suffers
little pain, but is wasting away. His
weight if now less than ninety pounds
and he is no longer able to move him
self in bed. About eleven O'Clock every
night he awakens for five or six min
utes, during which time he is
hurriedly given soft boiled egg, a lit
lie soup and a swallow or two of coffee,
his only daily nourishmept.

Where Plies go in Winter

Some one has asked where do the flies
go in tie winter. This is question of
some interest, tor the natural history
of house fly is not generally known.
Few persons know that house 1y is
born fully grown and of mature size,
and there are no little flies of the same
species, the small ones observed occa-
siopally being different in kind from
the large ones. The house fly does not
lay eggs, but eXtrudes living Larvae
which 60 through the usual transforma-
tions in their temporary ebodes in heaps
df decayed garbage, and rubbish thrown
out from houses. 1t does not bite or
pierce the skin, but gathers its food by
comb OF rake or brush like tongue, with
which it is able to scrape the vsTnish
from covers of books. and it thus tickles
the skin of persons upon which it aIights
to feed upon the perspiration. y fly is
a scavenger, ana is vehicle by which
contagious diseases are spread. 1t pois-
ons wounds, and may carry deadly yl-
rus from decaying organic matter Tito
our food IT retires from the sight at
the beginning of winter, but where it
goes few persons know, If a search of
the house is made flies will be found in
great numbers secreted in warm places
in the roof or between the partitions or
floors. We recently had occasion to ex-
anime the roof, and found around the
chimney myriads of flies alternating
comfortably and sufficiently lively to fly
when disturbed iD overpowering clouds.
No doubt this is favorite winter resort
for these creatures.

Women Workers in Russia.

The women in Russia do two-thirds
of the work in the country. There are
immense wheat, cat and hay fields
everywhere, and in August there is a
great activity in the country. TIE large
majority of persons at work are women.
They wear short dresses. plain and
straight, and long piece of cloth Over
their heads, like the Arabs. The wheat
Is sown broadcast, and if not cut by the
women with sickles is harvested with
the Old fashioned sythe, which has
two pound snead and a broad, short
blade. From the snead up to the handle
there is wooden bow something like,
in appearance, the half of a heavy bar
rel hoop. This bow keeps the wheat,
etc., from falling back over the scythe
handle and scattering. 1 have never
yet seen a man who would deigE to
gather up, bind and stack the wheat OF
oats when once it was feIled. The
women must do this while the men do
the 'gentlemanly' work, although
have seen many women cutting the
grain with the syIhe. The neigh5ors
club together in harvest and help one
another.
\ Russian harvesting rendezvous IS
quite lively, and is the scene Of a molly
crowd. The old men ard young boys
and girls, with their mothers. grand
mothers and aged women, assemble at
daybreak. Their are a number ot
horses, on which are carried water, food
and extra implements. The horses, the
boys and men ride, while the old women
walk. They always carry the scytheS'
forks and rakes back and forth every
day, and work as long as there is day
light and till $3.50 IN, the hours oI
labor are long ones.

Small and Large Farms.

Our notion is that small farms well
cultivated are almost invariably the
most profitable, writes J. 3. Delosier,
of NeWTy, Pa, in the farmer 8 Call.
Hence, we firmly believe, what has
been so often asserted, that II many q
The acres he now occupies and poorly
manages, and devoted his entire time
and energy to the care and cultivation
of the remainder, he would derive far
more profits from his labor and invest
ment, with much less vexatiOn Of split.
The fact is We cave too many who
are lard poor-who have so much land
they cannot make living above ex-
penses. The happiest and thrittisst
farmers we have eysr known live on
farms of only ten to one hundred acres,
every part OF which is made to count.
On the other hand, the farmer who has
so many broad Rcres that he cannot
walk over them daily. where rods of
fence corners are never cultivated or
otherwise utilized, lives life OF anxiety
and worry.
Instead of working like slaves and
living in miserly manner in order to
ruu large farm or purchase all The
land that joins them, it would be wise
| for hosts of farmers TO sell some of their
broad acres and concentrate their effort,
upon limited acres and look more to the
comfort and happiness of ther house
holds, and the proper education of thelI
| children.
Even if large farms were more prof
itable-which we deny-smalI ones are
to be preferred for many and urgent
reasons, not the least of which are the
comfort, peace and general welfare OF
the owners and their families. Larger
| profits are realized without much mon.
ey laid out on Inc farm. 1t is labor
which soon takes the profits OF farming
and banishes the pleasure Of farm life
