Can Read BY The Light Of Himself.

LEXINGTON, KY, February 90
Some weeks ago Charles Baldwin,
one of the best.knOwn men of this
city, was seized with a sudden and
peculiar illness lasting several days.
Physicians afforded no relief, and
he recovered as suddenly as he be
came i'll.
On his recovery he noticed one
evening that his body in the dark
gave off a steady light, visible 100
yards. The light is 80 strong that,
when Baldwin is nude, an ordinary
newspaper can be read by the
light from his body at a distance
of six feet. He is perfectly well
and is not conscious Of his power,
Physicians say he is the wonder of
the age.

hand power, it is not a difficult
matter to cut as required the
amount of corn fodder usually
found upon average farms, and this,
mos tened a little with water, and
given a liberal sprlnkling with
meal or wheat middlings, will all
be consumed and serve as good a
purpose as the best hay.
If hand cutting Is Objectionable,
this can be accomplished by horse
power, and the entire job be done
at once, including any Othe coarse
fodder, such as straw or swale grass.
First quality corn fodder if cut will
be consumed even without any meal
but it is advantageous sometimes
to make change from even the
best of hay on to some other food,
aud llen corn stalks come into
play to a good purpose.
If steaming of fodder is to be
pracused, as is sometimes the case,
then cutting becomes an absolute
necessity; but after repeated ex-
penments in that line by some OF
the best farmers of the country, it
has been abandoned, as it is be-
lieved that no advantage is gained
sufficient to warrant the increased
additional expenditure.
1t is a matter of policy with most
farmers, especially II they desire to
make both ends meet, to practise
those methods which experience
teaches are the most economical,
taking iutO account resulting re-
turns.

The CONSEQUENCE or lHE COMMA.

In the conrt King Charles was standing
on his head a royal crown;
And his royal brow was wrinkled in a
most portentious frown.
Fifty courtiers entered walking on their
hands were bright,
Rings set in of gold and silver what a
rare and splendid sight.
-Four and twenty noble ladies, proud and
fair and ten feet long,
Were the trains that flowed behind them
borne by pages stout and strong.
In bower of fragrant roses the musicians
now complete,
Blowing trumpets with their noses, they
lnhale the fragrant sweet.
See the queen, how sad and fearful, as
the king cuts Off her heart,
One bright tress of hair at parting, and
she wishes she were dead.
-Milrdukee Sentinel.
Our readers must punctuate the above
correctly to make sense Of it.-ED.1

SETTING TREES AND SHRUBS,

As to the best time to set trees
there are different opinions, but
experience shows that while it is
best to set some trees in the autumn
it is best to set others in the spring.
The American elm, red and sugar
maple and the white ash, seem to
do quite as we'll set in October as
at any other season of the year,
but apple, pear and peach trees, as
as a rule, will do the best set in
April, while the white pine, red
cedar and hemlock do the best set
in May. Some men will set fruit
trees of any kind in autumn and
have them do as well, or better,
than Others will to set them in the
spring. The difference in the time
of setting Is not so great as the
difference IN the method of doing
the work.
Currant and goosberry bushes
should be set in the AUTUMN, for
the soil is never dry enough in the
spring to work well until after the
buds of both the currant and
gOOseberry begin to open, and eX-
perience proves that unless set be-
fore the buds open the first years
growth will not be half as much as
If set in the autumn. When set in
land that is so full of moisture that
the frost will be likely to lift the
bushes, deep setting should be re-
sorted to, and ridges of earth may
be made to cover still deeper.
While it is important to look
closely after newly set trees the
first year, and if in dry cultivated
soil occasional watering is resorted
to, 1t is quite as important to look
after them and water them the
second year, for really more trees
die the second year after being
transplanted, than the first year.
This is because many think if a
tree has lived through one year it
will care for itself, but this is not
so. II usually takes three years
for a tree In an uncultivated soil to
get we'll established so as to go
safely through dry season, and in
some unfavOrable places it requires
a half dozen years or more for the
roots to extend deep enough to get
all the water required to keep the
tree vigorous in a dry season. The
difficulty is not so much in getting
people to set out trees as it is in
convincing them of the Importance
of caring fer them after they have
been set. 1t is estimated by good
Judges that more than half of the
trees set fail to become full-grOwn
trees because of the want of care,
