Europe Plastered With Mortgages.

The real estate of Great Britain and
Ireland is mortgaged for fifty per cent.
of its value; the farm lands of Denmark
are mortgaged for forty-one per cent. OF
their value, and the real estate of Copen.
hagen for seventy per ceut. the real es,
tate of France is mortgaged for SO, 000,-
600, 900, or S25 an acre for every acre, in.
cluding mountain tops and rivers, in the
Empire; eighty per cent. of the entire
taxable real estate OF Germany is mort.
gagged, with mortgages, says Presser,
a German writer, scarcely redeemable. -
The German farmers, according to DR..
Jaeger, pay 1928, 900, 900 a year interest
on mortgages, and Stoepel, another Ger
man writer, says it Is far above that sum.
Italy is mortgaged forty per cent. on all
her taxable real estate; Sweden thirty
three per cent, and others in like pro-
portion. These are all old countries,
and their mortgages represent genera
tions of Improbable farming, not the
development of a great and new EN-.
pire. CleUeLdnd Leader.

A Musical Tree.

Accounts of reliable travellers describe
musical tree, found both in the West
Indies and in Nubia. This vegetable
phenomenon has peculiar shaped leaf,
and pods with a split OF open edge. As
the wind blows through these it gives
out the sound which gives the tree its
peculiar name. In the Barbados there
is a valley filed with these trees, and
when the wind blows across the island, a
constant moaning, deep-toned whistle
is heard, which, in the still hours of the
night, has weird and mournful effect.
A species of acacia, which grows very
abundant in Nubia and the Soudan, is
also called "whistling tree" by the ma.
tives. Its shoots are frequently, by the
agency of the larye. of insects, distorted in
shape and swollen into globular blad-
der from one to two inches in diameter.
After the insect has emerged from a
circular hole in the side of this swelling,
the opening, played upon by the wind
| becomes musical instrument, nearly
equal in sound TO a sweet-toned flute.

A dog was actually tried for his life In
the Boston Municipal Court recently.
The defendant was a handsome setter
named Towser. His master retained
able counsel. The dog was placed in
the prisoners box, and amid the litter
Of the spectators and the smiles Of Judge
Curtis, the trial began. A man sworo
that the prisoner had bitten him, and he
therefore wanted him killed, according
to law. On cross examination witness
admitted that he had provoked the pris-
oner by teasing him. Several witnesses
for the defence testified rs to the good
character of the accused. The latter
was then brought forward in his own be-
half and furnished testimony as novel as
it was effective. At various commands
he played dead, walked on his hind legs
about the room, stood on his head,
shouldcred arms, whined dismally in
imitation of song and wound up by
marching up the steps to the Judges
desk on his hind legs and shaking paws
with his honor. The Judge, without a
moments hesitation, said, amid cheers !;
"Towser, you are peaceable and or
derly canine. give judgment in your
behalf and dismiss you, the plaintiff pay
ing the costs" Leaving the room, the
dog received an ovation. III Utica (N. "

BEST HORSES TO RAISE.

Whatever may be said of the market
east for scrub horses there is no doubt
but that there is demand, both at home
and abroad, for heavy draught horses.
There is more than double-yes, more
than treble--the common horses in use
than there are good ones, and more than
double bought and sold every day. Still,
if we count the difference in the price of
pair of common horses and good
draught team we will find that the latter
is in demand at a figure much above the
difference in the cost of production.
Outside of the original investment in
good mares and heavy stallion of high
standing the cost of production is not so
very much larger than the cost of the
common scrub. Large horaes, of course,
eat little more than small ones, and re-
quire little care, but they are generally
kind, easily broken and don't know any
thing but to pull, and with the excep-
tion of the fleet roadster and the well
mated carriage horse is the most saleable
animal produced. Then the great beauty
of the draft horse is in the fact that, like
a beef steer, he almost sells by weight.
There is at least but little training neces-
sary to fit him for service, and where a
man has but little idea of how to handle
or train horse he can do but little bet
ter than to grow the heavy class.

PLANTING LARGE POTATOES.

The system of planting large potatoes
whole should be condemned, says a
writer in Indiana Farmer. Such superhu-
GUS use is not at all reasonable, and that
of selecting small potatoes for seed,
either cut or planted whole, is the re-
verse of economy. Sometimes a good
yield is obtained from small potato seed
when the variety is vigorous and in line
with favorable conditions. The eyes on
developed potato are large and
capable of strong sprouts. The vigorous
sprout of cutting from potato has the
advanti ge from the beginning. 1t yields
better and withstands variations of
weather with greater uniformity than the
small potato cutting with its numerous
small sprouts. The safe rule in prepar-
ing potato cuttings is to select the best
samples within reach in health, uni
formity, and size, aud cut them in pieces
with an average of two eyes to a cutting.
While the seed of a potato that is in its
prime IN yielding qualities may be saved
and continued IN the same locality for
two or three years, it is best when prac-
ticable to obtain seed every second year
from point 100 or more miles north of
you. The potato will not acclimate; it
loses vitality when kept stationary in one
locality; it is benefited by change and
the movement should be from north to
south.

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.


Open the mouths of all drains.
Breed from no scrubs this year.
What progress with the garden2
Remember that flat culture is best for
dry soils and ridging for wet.
Remember that different soils require
different fertilizers, and want no others.
Will varieties of buckwheat cross and
mixl is one of the questions of the day.
Brains as we'll as farms are capable of
cultivation. Never lose sight of this
fact.
Children love to dig in the dirt. Why
should this love be destroyed by false
education!
Give your teams a change of diet.
You like it yourself, and so do they. 1t
is appetizing.
When your soil needs potash only,
what is the use of putting on other fertil-
iziug ingredients1
Push your work or your work will
push you. The first is much pleasanter,
besides being more profitable,
Good roads would reduce the cost of
hauling farm products to market at least
one half for the whole country.
Sprinkling salt on the top and at the
bottom of garden walls is said to keep
snails from climbing up or down.
Give the eve clover hay, if you have
it, bran and crushed oats, aud she will
provide the lamb with plenty of milk.
Rust and rot work necessarily for the
benefit of the manufacturers of farm
tools. 1t is well to not forget this fact.
Prepare your ground well before plant
ing, cultivate well, and, barring acci-
dent, the harvest will not disappoint you.
Keep the stem of the tree smooth and
free from rough bark and suckers. Let
only that grow which is needed for future
use.
Every man should try to furnish HIM
/ self with all necessary tools and not rely
too much on the good nature of his
neighbors.
In testing seeds the smaller seed that
are perfect terminate first, but are after
ward slower in development than the
larger ones.
If you are a farmer, do not be accusing
the farm of producing the hard times.
Look in other directions if you want to
find the cause.
When ornamental shrubs are out of
flower it is well to cut away the flower
clusters and not allow the shrubs to ex-
haust themselves in ripening seed, save
those with ornamental fruit. The same
may be said of herbaceous perennials,
though some of these seeds are often
wanted.
If you set duck-eggs under hens set
them on the ground. If frost is entirely
out and the weather settled into spring,
you can place cage over the hen and
arrange things so nothing will bother
her. Never under any circumstances
allow other hens to molest a sitter. 1t
will cause trouble, and lots of it.

SCIENTIFIC AND INDUSTRIAL.

telegraph has been devised.
Compound locomotives arc to be the
railway engines OF the future.
Los Angeles, CAL, has one sewer 5000
feet long that has not q single connec-
ton. In one place it is twenty five feet
under ground.
The Reading Railroad Company is
having 1000 freight cars built, which are
all provided with drawbar attachments
and automatic couplers.
An English inventor offers system by
which coal gas compressed TO one-eighth
its natural bulk can be carried about and
utilized as an illuminant when desired.
Instead of chewing slate-pencils and
drinking vinegar and lime-juice adipose
doctors feed their patients raw fruit
without sugar or cream and obesity tea.
The doctors in the French fleet have
been forbidden TO practice "hypnotismn
on their patients. A similar prohibition
was issued some months ago to the
French army doctors.
The appliance of hydraulic power to
the manufacture of steel seamless boats is
one of the latest things in England.
These boats are thought to be in every
particular superior to those made of wood
and can be made at about the same cost.
The experiment of constructing a
large building of paper has been success
fully made at Hamburg, Germany, where
an immense hotel, with its facade and
other important parts composed of that
material, and claimed to be ire-proof,
has been erected.
In using emery wheels It has been
found that at high speed one ounce of
wheel material would only grind off six
ounces of metal, while at a lower speed
it would grind off eleven ounces. At
this lower speed the wheel was making
2150 revolutions.
The electrical process has been sue
cessfully adopted in South Australia for
the recovery of the minute particles of
gold dust that have hitherto been lost in
the work of separating the metal from
the ore. The economical value of the
process has been abundantly proved.
An engineer on the Iron Mountain
Road, of Missouri, has perfected an au-
tomato bell-ringer on his locomotive, and
now when running in corporation limits
or whenever the bell must be rang he
just jerks spring and the bell. is kept
going by steam power till he turns off
the steam.
A new incandescent lamp has been in-
troduced which is said to obviate discol-
oration. The carbon filaments are made
from raw silk threads put through care
full process and capable Of bearing high
temperature. A suspended needle is
fitted inside from the socket to the glass
tip, and this prevents shaking and at
tracts the particles of carbon to it.
An Italian journal describes new
pharo-light, which is said to be as pow
erful as the electric light, and the eff
cheney of which is not impaired by fog,
as is the case with the latter. A clock
work arrangement pours every thirty Sec
onds ten centograms of powdered magne-
sium into the flame of a round wick
lamp, producing an extremely brilliant
Hash of light.

THE START FOR ASPARAGUS.

Every farmers family uses potatoes.
The time, labor and fertility required for
their production are not considered, for
potatoes must be had. But they are
more expensive to raise than asparagus,
and their cultivation calls out more skill.
The labor needed to grow half an acre of
potatoes each year would in three years
plant, transplant and establish for fifty
years large bed of asparagus, which
with a little care annually through this
half century, would load the home table
and the nearest market (at handsome fig.
ures) with delicious luxury. Asparagus
is most easily gathered and prepared,
highly nutritious and healthful in its
tendencies, and acceptable to nearly
everybody. Procure or raise thrifty one
yearold plants, and set them at intervals
of three feet in rows four feet apart,
using the richest land of almost any kind,
although loan is best. keep it always
full of plant food, which can be put on
at any season, and never too abundantly).
Open the drills deep enough to allow
several inches of soil above crowns of the
plants when they are set. Keep the
ground clean and the third year cut every
sprout as fast as ready. Stop cutting
when early peas come.--NeW York. Tri-
6URe.

HENS SETTING TOO CLOSELY.

The instinct of the hen TO set, espe-
cially Of the Asiatic breeds, needs some
curbing, even for success in incubation.
If the hen does not get off at all to eat
for several days, the eggs become added
from too much warmth and exclusion
from the air. Wetting the eggs is also
important not to soften the shells, but
TO prevent the drying up of their lining
inside the shell, which while moist ad-
mts air enough through it to preserve
the life of the germ. Hens that set
themselves out Of doors usually hatch
their entire setting. They are forced to
hustle for their food, are often wet by
rains and dews, and this keeps the eggs
moist. Boston CuHiDdtor.

An Automatic Photographic Machine

An automatic Photographic machine
has been invented, and it will soon be
launched by a company of London capi-
talists; it is not unlike the devices which
are used in Chicago to register ones
weight. The machine is in the form OF
large square box mounted on hollow
pedestal. On the front center is a small
lens, surmounted by mirror; a money
slot is in the top left-hand corner. The
person who is to be photographed takes
his stand in front of the lens, with hii
back to a post OF rail fixed at a distance
of three feet from the machine, and adj
justs himself so that his full face shall be
reflected in the mirror. With his left
hand he then puts coin in the slot and
remains motionless for five seconds
when the sound of bell announces that
the impression is complete. In forty
seconds more the finished portrait, on c
metal plate drops through the delivery
upon the shelf outside. Another coin,
put in another slot, will bring out 6
frame for the picture, but this luxury is
wholly optional. The impressions resem.
bles those of the cheap glass positive
photograph, only that tin-plate is substi.
tuted for glass. The mechanism is at
present secret, but the principle ap.
pears to be that of rotary arm which
carries the plate through series OF
chemical baths until the impression is
developed and Chicago Ne,cs.

The Gamelle.

There is a kind of tin mug called the
gamelle, in which the French soldier re-
ceives his rations, and which he carries
on his knapsack. The form is a little
peculiar, so as to distinguish it from
other ordinary tin mugs. A simple i'm
plement which, carried on the backs of
French soldiers, has marched so often to
victory, and of late to defeat, has at last
received its reward in its glorifcation.
When the young Duke of Orleans came
before the court, and exclaimed: 'I ask
for nothing but a gamelle," meaning
nothing but the treatment of common
soldier, the public readily seized upon
the emblem. Scarcely three days had
elapsed before great jeweler of the Rue
de la Paix had hundreds of "tin mugs"
in silver, gold and jewels, as pins and
badges, which sold Immediately as the
"tin mug" of Orleans, and were worn
all over Paris. A popular florist de-
signed vase in the shape OF the "tin
mug" and presented the first specimen to
the Prince, who sent it to his bride, Mar
garet de Chartres, filled with roses and
lilies of the valley. A restaurateur orig
mated gamelle as a soup dish, and sent
it to the noble prisoner full of bouillon.
But this was not permitted within the
prison. In the meanwhile, all Paris is
sporting the soldiers tin mug in the tri-
color, and the young Duke has left a
fashionable ornament to remember him
by.-The Ledger.

The Astonishing Spread Of LeprOsy.

According to DIR. Morell Mackenzie,
leprosy, the scourge of the middle ages,
has not become practically extinct among
Europeans, but is really spreading. II
has between 1000 and 1900 victims in
Norway, is also found in Portugal,
Greece and Italy, and is rapidly spread
ing in Sicily, in the Baltic provinces of
Russia and in France, while the British
islands are not exempt from it.
In the United States, cases have been
found in California, in some of the States
of the northwest; in Utah and in Louis
lana. Many cases exist in New Bruins
wick. In the Sandwich Islands the dis
ease first broke out in 1858, aud there
are now 100 lepers in the Molokai set
tlement alone. The disease is extending
in the West Indies Chicago Herald.

Habits of FrOgc.

The owner of frog farm near Menas-
ha, Wis, gives some interesting facts
relative to the frogs habits. In ninety
one days the eggs hatch. The thirty
ninth day the little animals begin to have
motion. In few days they assume the
tadpole form. When ninety-two days
old, two small feet are seen beginning to
sprout near the tail, and the head ap-
pears TO be separate from the body. In
five days after this they refuse all vegeta-
BILE food. Soon thereafter the animal as
sumes a perfect form.

sively corn-fed hogs also have smaller
livers aud kidneys, the skeleton is light
er, and the bones not as strong; the hide
may be less, and the hair is not as strong.
Hogs living on corn-meal, water, and salt
did not seem to have their bones strength
ened by feeding well-water instead Of
rain-water. But hogs living on corn
meal, salt, and rain water had their bones
doubled in strength by feeding hard
wood ashes, and still strengthened by
feeding ground bone. The ash material
in the bones of such hogs was doubled in
amount, ground bone giving better re-
suits than wood ashes. The hogs also
drank more water, consumed more food,
and made much heavier gains than those
not getting ground bone or ashes, but
did not have more muscle or lean meat.
Hence, Professor Henry's final conclusion
that while the body of the hog, perfect
or imperfect, is the result of inheritance,
it can be greatly modified by the kind of
food given. american AgricuIturist.
