Costly GluttOnY.

The lavish expenditure Of the Romans
on the cena, the great meal of the day,
was often fabulous. Vitellius is actually
reported to have squandered 400 sestertia,
about SIG, 140, on his daily supper, though
surely this must be a monstrous exaggera-
ton, says the National Rerietr. The cele-
brated feast to which he invited his
brother Lucius cost 5000 sestertia, or
1901, $50. Suetonius relates that it con-
sisted Of 1000 different dishes Of fish and
1000 of fowls, and this did not exhaust
the bill of fare. His daily food was
luxurious and varied beyond precedent.
The deserts of Libya, the shores of Spain
and the waters of the Carpathian seas
were diligently searched to furnish his
table with dainties, while the savage
wilds of Britain had to bear their part in
replenishing his larder. Had he reigned
long Josephus says that he would have
exhausted the wealth of the Roman En-
pire itself.
Rlius Verus, another of these worthless,
was equally profusc in the extravaganza
| of his suppers. 1t is said that a single
entertainment, to which only dozen
guests were invited, cost 5000, 900 ses-
terces-6000 sestertia, that is-or nearly
S245, 500. History relates that his whole
life was passed eating and drinking in the
voluptuous retreats of Daphne or at the
luxurious banquets of Antioch. So pro-
fuse, indeed, was the extravaganza of
those times that to entertain an Emperor
was to face almost certain ruin. One dish
alone at the table Holiogabalus is said to
have cost about $50, 900 of our money.

The Coaling Of Ocean Steamers.

Talking the other day with manager
of one of our transatlantic lines he told
New York Star reporter some curious
things about the coaling of ocean steamers
and the work and men on board of the big
ships. Itappears that as time goes on the
daily consumption of coal increases on all
the Atlantic steamers, which must make
the voyage now in seven days or under if
they would hold their own and attract Gus
TOM To do this vessel must burn from
200 to 800 tons of coal daily, making this
item of expense over $500 every twenty
fours, requiring more men to handle it and
taking up additional room in the hold of
the ship. The Umbria burns twelve tons
of coal per hour, and on every vessel of
her size the journals and bearings of the
machinery require $50 gallons of lubricat-
ing oil per day. The Cunard Line en-
ploys $500 hands, including 100 of a
shore gang, 900 stewards, thirty -four
captains and lac officers.

TURNING uapEr GREEN CROPS

Our own opinion is tina. it is not best
to turn under u green crop Or turn over
the soil at all in midsummer unless the
land can be sown at once in. < crop that
will promptly cover the surface again
with vegetation. We believe that the
decay of green crop underline soil will
exert more decided chemical and bene-
fetal effect on the soil than if the same crop
be permitted to die and decay on the sur
face, and this is especially true in clay
soils. On sandy soils, already open and
porous and containing very little insolu-
BILE material that can be rendered avail
able by the fermenting process, it is.prob-
ably best to permit the green crop.to die
and decay on the surface. On theiwhole,
it may be left for each one to determine
for himself according to the circumstances
and consulting convenience. We.are sat
is6ed from experience that wheaton oats
will not do well sown immediately after 3
heavy green crop has been turned under,
because of want of compactness in such

Do Scorpions Commit suicideG

Lately NJ. Serge Noirkoff, of Constan-
tinople, caught half dozen scorpions,
he says, and deliberately put the ques-
ton to the test. Arranging on the fool
circle of glowing charcoal, having nc
break in it, a scorpion was placed in the
center. Although the circle was large
enough to prevent the scorpion being in.
iured or even incommoded by the heat il
it remained in the middle, the animal,
finding itself surrounded by fire, began
to look about for the means of escape.
At first its movements were slow, but
soon its movements increased, and finally
it raced in q frantic fashion around the
inner circumference of the charcoal. AT
ter racing for some time in this manner,
it retired to the center of the ring, AND
deliberately plunging its sting into it
back, put an end to its life in few sec
onds, after few convulsive movements
The remaining five were tried successfully
in the same way, and each with like
result.-Paris La Nature.

RENovATING OLD TREES.

Much time and labor are uselessly ex-
pended in renovating old and worthless
trees. In many cases the best use to
make of them is to convert them into fire
wood. Such trees. are often chance seed
lings, which have sprung up where tree
is not wanted. In the early settlement
of the country many orchards were
planted with natural fruit. In the older
States such orchards are yet to be found,
the trees still thrifty, but the fruit,
as q rule, worthless, though occa-
sionally some tolerable fruits are
met with. Whoever finds himself in
possession of one Of these old orchards, il
the trees are still sound and free from de-
cay, may find it worth while to graft it
over with desirable varieties. If the trees
are large, it is better not to graft the
whole top at once, but to graft third
each year, beginning in the center.-Ag-
riculturist.

GRINDING OATS WITH CORY.

Corn meal alone is not merely too hearty,
but it is decidedly too heavy for healthful
food. For use on the table it is lightened
in various ways, and generally eaten with
something else less likely to compact in
the stomach. 1t is necessary to do the
same with it for stock, especially if the
corn is ground. There is nothing better
to grind with corn than oats. Their hull
makes the mixture much lighter, and the
grain itself supplements some Of the de-
ficiencies of the corn. Oats are also ex-
cellent to put in with corn in the ear,
when the latter is to be ground. Unless
this is done it is often hard for the miller
to make the cob grind fine enough. II
any way damp the cob breaks up into
pieces, and only the grain is ground and
that poorly. Somehow the mixture OF
one-half the bulk of corn in the cob OF
oats or barley will give the miller an ad-
vantage in working the whole up as finely
as may desired. Culticator.

An English Siaccure.

1t is frequent occurrence for Ameri-
can newspapers to complain of the large
salaries paid and light duties exacted
from some of the public officials. By
comparison with Governmental offices in
Europe, however, those in this country
are very poorly remunerated indeed. A
sample of this may be seen in the case of
Lord Truro, who occupies the position of
Registrar of the English Land Registry
Office. By careful computation it has
been learned that his Lortlship visits the
Office not to exceed six times in year,
and then presumably for the purpose of
drawing his salary. For these onerous
duties he is in receipt of nearly $50, 600
annually. Singularly slough, few OF
the more metropolitan newspapers have
dared to criticise this showing, but il
does not seem at all probable that Lord
Truro will be deprived of his emoluments.

FOR GATHERING APPLES.

An implement for gathering apples has
been in use in Western New York for one
or two seasons, and it is highly spoken
of by the fruit growers who have tested
it. 1t is large, open canvas receptacle,
into which the apples are shaken from
the tree, it being arranged so that the
apples are collected in padded basket,
into which they ere gently delivered with
out bruising each other. The frame is
carried around the tree by two men, while
two others shake the tree, and a fifth
man is kept busy removing the apples. 1t
is said that the harvesting of an apple
crop can be done with it for half the
expense of hand picking. But cheapness
is not the only nor the chief recommen-
dation of the implement. Apple pick
ing-is long operation in large orchard,
and some of the fruit must be picked
before it is ripe, if it is all gathered
This green fruit does not sell as well nor
keep as well, and, besides this, the
growth, which is always considerable to-
ward the time of ripening, is lost. Many
large apple growers assert that the ma
chine pays for itself in a single season,
and that it is as indispensable to them as
mower or reaper to an ordinary farmer.

OYSTER SHELLS FOR POULTRY.

Considerable has been said Of late about
oyster shells. Now, do not understand
chemistry, and therefore do not claim that
it is absolutely necessary that hen must
be supplied with them in order that she
may produce perfect egg; but this one
thing do know by experience, that my
hens will lay great many more eggs
when supplied with them than when not.
In the summer keep my hens in yards,
and feed them corn, oats and wheat, let
ting them out one hour before shutdown
into grassy field They have gravel al
ways by them, but if they are allowed ts
be without the shells three days ! notice
a decrease in the egg basket. I write
this as my experience, thinking perhaps
it may benefit some beginners in the poul-
try business, who may neglect this Gas I
think) one important item in the business,
from the idea that some men have inferred
that they do no good.-Poultry Keeper.

NO SULPHUR IN SAP.

Professor Riley pronounces as fallacious
The idea that insects may be driven from
trees by boring holes through the bark
into the wood, placing sulphur therein
and plugging the hole. The belief in
their effacing, he says, is founded on the
superstition that the poison passes with
the sap into general circulation and with
It into the foliage, and is destructive to
leaf feeding insects. 1t is an entirely un-
founded idea, and is based upon ignorance
Of the fact that the substance remains in
tact and is not taken up in the circula-
ton. Instances where it has seemed to
succeed have been recorded, and in such
cases its apparent efficacy was due 70 a
coincident disappearance of the insect
from some other cause.

FARM MANUREs.

Professor Henry, in paper on the
making and using of manures, concludes
with the following:
Frst-To have rich manure, we must
supply our cattle with rich food.
Second-The value of the manure de-
ponds more upon the feed than the ami
NAL.
Third-Milch cows take out more fer
tility from the food than other kinds Of
stock; growing stock next, and working
and fattening animals the least.
Fourth-Very rarely does the fertility
taken out of the feed by our live stock
amount to one-fourth of that in it, and il
may be one-twentieth.
Fifth-Nearly all the phosphorus is in
the solid portion of the excrement, while
the nitrogen and potash are in the urine
hence, if we allow the urine to 90 to
waste, we have only one of the three
valuable elements left in any quantity in
what remains.
Sixth-In buying feeds we should al
ways have in mind the manurial value
that they contain, as well as the feeding
value.

A PRACTICAL MAN TELLS HOW HE GOT
EGGS EVERY DAY LAST WINTER.


In the first place, hens should never be
crowded in their winter quarters; second,
corn should never be fed to laying hens,
as it contains no elements that assist in
egg production and is only fit for the fat
tening process. Now, for my method,
net theoretically given, but as practical
experience. ! got eggs every day last
winter and expect to this winter. My
houses are not artifcially heated, nor are
they so warm as to keep water from freez-
ing in them; but they are tight enough
to turn all draughts and the windows are
supplied with tight shutters. The apart
ments are eight feet square and are in
tended to hold not more than twelve
hens. The floor is of dry dirt, covered
about foot deep with clean, dry straw.
This should be forked over every two or
three days and changed for fresh as often
as necessary. In the morning I give a
warm feed consisting of bran middlings,
very small portion of oatmeal and the re-
fuse scraps from the table, stirred up in
hot milk. feed only what they will eat
up clean; then, about ten o'clock, two OF
three good handfuls of wheat, oats OF
barley are thrown into the straw; this
keeps them busy scratching for the rest
Of the day A hen must be given plenty
Of exercise; she is sure to become too fat
to lay if she has nothing to do but stand
around and eat. sob, well, some peo-
pie would say, ''all this is too much
trouble; it won't pay All right, then,
if it don't pay to sell eggs at thirty-five
and forty cents per dozen, there is no
money in poultry at all. But there is
money in it, as hundreds of successful
poultrymen will amply prove.- Kansa'
