FACTS ABOUT MOSS,
The Important Part Which II Performs
in the Work of the World.

We are accustomed to thinking of the
lovely moss as one of the ornamentlng de-
vices of nature, pretty covering for sur
faces that would otherwise be hard and
bare, or else danll and repulsive, and a
graceful drapery for rocks and trees. In
the hundreds of varieties of moses which
are known to the bOtaniStS. there are many
which are so eXquisitely beautiful in them
selves, so delicate III tint and texture, and
so soft and warm in effect. that we transfer
them to our houses for the uses of decora-
ton.
The MOSES. however, perform part in
the work of the world which is more i'm
portant than that of decoration. In them
nature often makes a beautiful beginning
toward clothing utterly waste places with a
soil upon which plants and trees may live,
and which may become capable of support
ing human life.
Upon the rocky surface of a ledge. in spots
where the force of the sun is least strong,
and where most moisture is found. we see
thin mosses forming. Gradually they grow
thicker and stronger. The patches that
they have made extend and meet each other
until a considerable surface is covered over.
As they develop, their growths decay, and
rich, dark mold is formed beneath. The
seeds of other plants lodge in the moss,
which holds them fast, and the moisture
makes them sprout and grow, sending their
roots along the layer Of mold. A begin
ming has been made for a vegetation upon
the rocks Gradually the MOSES are driven
out by stronger plants. which run their
srOots into the crevicC5 Of the rock; but the
moss, by its death, makes the life of the
herbage that follows it possible
The grass grows whore the moss made
it's soft, feeble beginning; the decay of the
grass thickens the turf from year to year,
and thus makes soil at last upon which

waited. Or if, as is more likely, the sur
roundings tend to make a forest on the
spot rather than a grassy slope, the tiny
shrubs yield to larger bushes, and the bushes
make way for the trees. which, sending
their roots among the rocks, often rend
them aSunder.
Perhaps the newest and, in many ways,
the strangest, use of moss is that to which
the quinine planters have found it may be
put. In taking the b II. ( ON the cinchona

FEEDING POULTRY.
Newspaper Advice Which Has Proved t.
Be of Doubtful Utility.

Newspaper Advice Which Has Proved to
Be of Doubtful Utility.
We often see advice given in poultry
and stock journals ABOUT providing
layer of straw or hay either cut or
whole, and chaff also. on the floor of
the chicken house, especially in winter,
to give to fowls 'something to do" in
the way of scratching for the grains
thrown down to them. This looks very
plausible in theory, and may result
well in practice with some breeders.
But my own experience in this line
would lead me to conclude it to be OF
rather doubtful utility. 1t is a known
fact that some breeds OF chickens will
take their food more deliberately, and
others more ravenously than common.
If you throw handful of grain to a
pen of Brahmas, Cochins, or other re-
representatives. of the large and sluggish
breeds they will usually go at it very
deliberately and take their time to it,
like the Englishman Of Colman's time
taking "mine ease at mine inn. But
throw the same provisions in pen OF
more active breeds, especially if they
are hungry. as they nearly always are.
and they will crowd each other in
greedy scramble to devOur them. If
the floor of your chicken house is lit
tered with covering of straw or
chaff, the fowls in their greed to
devour the grain are very apt to
take in some of the ''scatterings'
which have been placed there to con-
ceal partially the grain. And the re-
suit is sometimes rather disastrous to
the stock, often filling the crop with
inert and indigestible material.
l am certain, at any rate, that the
following of such advice so generally
given. has caused the loss of some
good birds; and has also necessitated
the surgical process of opening the inn
pacted crops of others, which revealed
the fact that in their haste TO devour
the grain they unavoidably swallowed
some of its surroundings. and would
not have been able to digest the mass
of mixed material. The only way to
save them was to remove it by hand.
Such substances as short straws, grass,
and even light oats which are mostly
chaf, are very difficult of digestion and
passage from the crop Of fowl, and
hence should be kept away from them
mostly. Much of the advice given in
print and otherwise is not always safe
to follow, and intelligence and care on
the part OF the breeder should always
be exercised in the feeding of his stock.
Especially have l noticed some absurd
theories and directions on the treat
ment of domestic fowls, some of which,
if literally followed. would prove de-
structive to them, and others 80 inert
and useless, that following them would
be time only wasted. Careful study of
and attention to the feeding and treat
ment of poultry are the main essentials
to success.-T. c. Harris, in Ohio

THE DEAD EMPEROR.

The death of Emperor William |. is an
much owing to the personal achievements
and character of the deceased, as by rea-
son of the marvellous vicissitudes and
tremendous revolutions of which he had
been an eyewitness, an agent or bene-
ficary. His biography is prominently
and inseparably wrought into the his
tory of Germany throughout the most
momentous epochs of modern times. As
at last he passes from the stage on which
he fingered an august and memorable
| figure, the ultimate link seems severed
between the Europe of today and the
Europe that beheld the flashing transit
of the first Napoleon and the long de-
ferred extinction of the holy Roman en-
pire.
Had he lived thirteen days longer, Kai-
ser William would have completed his
Dist year, for he was born in 1897, the
second son of the lovely and luckless
Princess of Mecklenburg who became the
Queen Louise and of that Frederic Will
liam ILL.,, who wasted the patrimony be-
queathed to the House of Hohenzollern
by Frederic the Great. The fact per-
haps is worth recalling that the hero of
the seven years war and primal archi-
tect of Prussian ACKNOWLEDGEMENT had
been dead only eleven years when the
child William saw the light, whose glory
