Unless dairymen get good animals

and management, they had better get
out of the business.
Feeding broken oil-cake to fowls
twice week will often promote laying
when other foods shall fail to give good
results.
There can be but little profit in
growing watermelons, we would say to
an inquirer. The market in summer
always has more watermelons than it
can handle.

frequently give them raw meat for

Keep the tomato vines off the
ground, especially if you are growing

ing the vines and nailed to stakes set
in the ground is good way to keep
them up.
The advice to give bones to hens to
make them lay has been improved bya

JAPAN GLOVER.
A Remarkable Plant That win Thrive Al
Poor Soil.

"A NomafKaDle rant That VIII Thrive on
Poor Soil.
Japan clover (Lespedeza striatal has
been grown two years on the expert
ment station grounds, and taking every
thing into consideration, it is the most
promising plant for grazing purposes Of
any thing we have tested.
Japan clover has made its appearance
in several places in the State, and will.
no doubt, gradually work its way West.
1t is remarkable plant, in the fact
that it is an annual; it will live on and
gradully take possession of even the
poorest soils, and choke out
most other growth; yet with all
It's spreading propensity and per
sistence, it is readily subdued in cult
waited land. On good land Japan clover
will cut two crops of hay, and the hay
is of the best quality. In Mississippi
we have cut as high as three and four
tons of hay to the acre in year.
The plant is specially valuable for
summer grazing for cattle and sheep.
On the old, worn-out cotton-felds IN
Mississippi and Alabama, where this
clover has taken possession, two acres
of land supplies full feed for steer
from May to November.
The writer has an interest in an 500
acre pasture we'll set in this plant on
which 400 steers were grazed the past
year, and it was the driest year known
in that locality since the war, not rain.

Japan clover is killed to the ground
by heavy frost, and viii not, therefore,

To introduce Japan clover the ground
should be plowed and well narrowed,
then sow half bushel to the acre and
brush it very lightly, or leave to be coy-
cred by shower
Toget stand in a pasture we should
inclose a small lot with a fence, plant
as suggested above, and throw the lot

NEST-BUILDiNG FISHES.
They Watch Over Their Young Like
Careful Hen.


Careful Hen.
The Bitshki is Russian fish which
lives in the Black Sea. When the
Matching season approaches, it seeks the
shore and builds there a nest for it's
young. Both father and mother unite
in gathering seaweeds, and deposit them
in small holes on the shore. There the
mother lays her eggs, and watches over
them like careful hen until they are
Matched.
The stickleback not only builds nest
for its young, butdefends it from attack
with great zeal and ferocity. One nat
uralist says that he took male
Stickleback from the water, and placed
him with others in a collecting bottle.
Then no went on observing the nest
which the prisoner had been guarding.
Suddenly a large crowd of hungry
sticklebacks assembled about it and be-
gan an attack, evidently with the pur-
pose of devouring the young within.
The conscience-stricken naturalist at
once dropped his pr isoner among them,
and as soon as the wronged householder
could collect his scattered wits, he
rushed at the invaders, attacked them
fiercely and soon was again in possession
of his nest, which he at once set about
mending with bits of weeds and twigs.
A Chinese fish constructs a nest not
of grass or seaweeds, but of frothy se-
cretions. The male prepares bubbles in
the air by sucking them in and strength
ening them with mucuous matter from
his mouth. Then he brings them into
the water, and expels them to construct
a nest. The female enters this cavity,
and lays her eggs there.
The eggs sink to the bottom of the
water, and the male is then obliged to
raise them into the nest, He appears to
be unable to carry them in his mouth,
SO he swallows large supply of air, de-
scends beneath the eggs, and violently
expels the ar accumulated. This air,
finely divided by the fringes of the gills,
escapes in the form of two jets of
gaseous powder. which envelop the eggs

Tho Popularity of the Sailor Hat-Hems
for New Street Gowns.

The Popularity OF the Sailor Hat-Hems
for New Street Gowns.
The popularity of the sailor hat in
creases as the season advances. This
simple, unpretending shape is the least
trying of any of the styles now in vogue.
Few women have the regularity of feat
ure to wear a hat with curved and
denied and otherwise mutilated brim
aplomb. The severity of straight fiat
brim is often the secret of the becom-
| ingness of hat. New sailors, of Milan
| braid, with openwOrk Neapolitan
crowns, and vice-versa, are trimmed
with silk scarfs and Standardization tips
Other novelties show straw crowns with
brims of shirred tulle or crepe lisse. A
sailor of pale primrose-yellow crepe
shirred on fine gold wire on both brim
and crown, is garnitured with black
lace, tulle loops, and five tiny black
birds. Another yellow hat is trimmed
with black ostrich tips, yellow tulle
scarf, and a large cut-jet lady-bird, with
narrow, pointed wings outstretched. A
cream-white China crepe sailor hat has
a very narrow finish of pointed silk lace
at the edge. The hat is trimmed at the
back, the trimming consisting of white
clover blossoms set into a cluster of
pale-green oats, the loose flowers and
greenery lying upon large knot of
cream-white grenadine ribbon loops
striped with satin. A gray crepe hat is
trimmed with a wreath of dusty-miller
leaves, intertwined with half-Open pale
pink daisy buds. A pretty sailor of he

is crowned with a full diadem wreath of
lilac chrysanthemums shading from the
faintest to the deepest colors.
The hens of the majority of the new
street gowns now rest an inch or SO on
the ground-an uncleanly, useless and
foolish fashion. Many women are study
ing the art of slightly raising their
skirts in graceful fashion. The left
arm lies at full length close to the side;
the hand shows the palm turned slight
~ outwards, the fingers holding in
loose grasp the collected folds of the
drapery-all well enough when one has
hand to spare, which is not always.
What is the use anyway of forming a
gown Of length which has to be held
as you 60, to keep it from the pavement?
Why not leave we'll alone, and have the

neat and comfortable length? 1t is like

CORK TREE FORESTS.
They viii Thrive In California ~ Wen -
In Spain or Africa.

They VIII Thrive In C.liforni. ~ Wen q
In Spain or Africa.
The available forests Of cork trees are
already relatively extensive. although
hardly sufficient to supply the demands
now made on them, or which as the
world grows in prosperity must be made
on them. for there is hardly any end to
the uses for cork, and none of the SUBJ
stitutes for it which have yet been tried
are very satisfactory or promise to take
its place to any great extent The latest
estimates of existing areas of available
cork oak forests make their extent from
$500, 900 to $500, 900 acres, of which
about one-half, including those on its
African possessions, belongs to France.
The wood of the cork oak is heavy.
coarse-grained and of yellow-brown
color; it shrinks and warps badly in sea-
soning and decays rapidly when exposed
to the action of the atmosphere. 1t has
little value in the arts, but furnishes
a useful fuel and makes good charcoal.
The inner bark is rich in tannin, and
trees too old or unfit to produce cork are
cut for the sake of the inner bark.
The cork oak is an interesting tree to
Americans, as its cultivation now seems
destined to become an important indus
try in California, where the climate and
the soil in many parts of the State are
admirably suited to produce it. This is
not mere theory, as trees have been
growing now for several years in Cali
fornia and have already produced crops
of cork of excellent quality. 1t is prob
able that the tree will grow rather more
rapidly in California than it does in its
native country, although the quality of
trees are placed. local climate. and
the treatment which the trees receive
will influence, of course, the rapidity
with which the bark is developed.
In Africa it is found that the trees
which grow the most rapidly produce
bark of the poorest quality, and that
within certain limits the slower the
trees grow the more valuable the
product, provided the growth is not
too slow, in which case the bark loses
some of the elasticity which makes
it valuable. The conditions which
influence, the development of cork are
so numerous and complicated that the
product of all the trees in grove or
forest can never attain the same uni
formity of thickness or quality in any
given time. This is so we'll understood
in the countries where cork is grown
that the best methods of harvesting
has been found to be to go over the for
est every two or three years and remove
the bark from such trees as are covered
with merchanta BILE cork and not to strip
all the trees at the same time. All
these matters must of course be consid-
cred in connection with planting forests
of cork oak in California. The planting
and care of such forests in Portugal and
Spain has long been an important indus
try, and there is no reason why they
may not be made sosin California, where
the local consumption of cork is already
enormous. although the wine industry
there is hardly more than in its infancy.

DiPHTHER!A IN ANIMALS.
The Probable Cause of Many Mysterious
Outbreaks Of the Disease.

OutOTeNNS "a TIC DiSeHbc.
For some years scientific men have
suspected that certain of the domestic
animals are liable to suffer from dis
ease that is identical with human diph-
liberia 1t is now universally admitted
that calves, horses, cats, fowls, turkeys
and pheasants are liable to disease
having the very closest resemblance to
diphtheria in the human being and
there are number of cases on record
in which this disease in the animals
preceded, accompanied or followed an
epidemic of human dipht iberia. DIR.
jacob, of New York, mentions a case:
Five children were i'll with diphtheria in
one house, three kittens that played with
them died, and pOst-mOrtem examina-
tons showed diphtheritic membranes
in their throats. DIR. Bruce Low mem
tions an interesting case: A cat living
in the house with boy that had diph-
iberia took the disease, communicated
it to the cat of another person, and four
little girls that nursed the second cat
became ill with diph iberia
Gerhardt has published case that
seems to show that diphtheria of hens
may be communicated to dogs and men.
notwithstanding the opinions Of
Loeffier. Pfeiffer and Klein to the
contrary. A large number of hens
were brought from Verona to
village in Baden; some were suffering
with the disease when they arrived, and
about half of them died All the
chickens bred in incubators died; fou-
cats kept in the place died of diph liberia,
and four of the six men on this poultry
farm had diphtheria. In 1885 Dr.. c. j.
Renshaw described some cases in which
cats that had swallowed portions of
diphtheritic membrane from human
sufferers died of disease resembling
diphtheria; some mice also contracted
the disease in the same way-a very
significant fact. More recently DR..
Klein has found that cats may be
inoculated with diph iberia from the HUI
man, and that other cats may take the
disease from the first
These facts are very significant "a
showing how many mysterious out
breaks OF diphtheria in certain houses
and localities may be caused. They
show also the value of thorough study
OF animal diseases; and in order to
study these the lower animals must be
