Ohsmiatxr ON tho Farm.

Many farmers laugh st the notion OF
applying the principles OF chemistry on
the farm, calling such an application OF
science "fooling" and humbug. Yet
farmers SEQ their sons grow up and drift
away because, having been educated In
the public schools, the spirit OF q scien-
tific and progressive age has possessed
them, and they seek elsewhere than upon
an old fashioned farm scope for the edu-
cation which they have already gained
and for the wider education which they
crave.
Now there is no field which offers more
ample scope for an educated and scien-
tifc mind than good farm. The old
fashioned farmer says. "What do want
to know about chemistry? It's enough
if l manure the ground and plant my
seed; nature will take care Of the rest"
But the application Of manure is
chemistry" and if the farmer or his
boy understands the groundwork Of that
science he knows what kind Of manure
Is good for q certain field and what kind
is good for another field, and his knowl-
edge may make for him or save for him
many dollars in a single year.
A knowledge Of chemistry will enable
him to save the valuable properties of
his manures for the soil, instead of let
ting precisely those properties be evapo-
rated and wasted, as they are in the case
of most natural manures as now treated
on the farms Of this country.
But the most important function of
science on the farm, after all, at the pres
ent time, is not the immediate material
advantage which it may bring to the
farmer, but the means which it will sup
ply of interesting the young, of engaging
their active and eager intelligence, and
keeping them from places where they
will be very much worse off.-Youth's

Good Fishing.

The most unique locality TO be found
by the sportsman is probably that sur
pounding the town of Linkville, in Kla-
math county, Ore. The town nestles at
the foot Of large mountain, and lies
right on the bank Of what is locally
known as Link river This stream
which is quite large and connects the up
per and lower Klamath lakes-is alive
with thousands and probably millions of
large fish. which are constantly passing
to and fro between the two lakes, and
are as constantly jumping out of water
in sight of the town. They are Of all
sorts and sizes.
Some of them appear to be cutting up
those antics for the fun of the thing, and
some to shake some kind of an eellike
looking creature which attacks them in
the water and becomes attached to their
sides, causing the fish apparently much
suffering. 1t is no uncommon thing for
large fish to be taken there whose sides
are all SCARED up in consequence Of these
attacks.
1t would not be surprising if many
fish were thus destroyed. Probably
there are not in the world two lakes
more numerously stocked with trout
than the upper and lower Klamath lakes
Judging by map measurement, they
each average thirty miles in length by
ten miles in width. Many large streams
empty into them, affording splendid
fishing and spawning grounds. Lying
east of the Cascade range Of mountains
where genuine winter prevails in the
season for it, the water is better and the
fish healthy and solid-features which
do not prevail on the western side O
the mountains, where an almanac has II
be consulted to ascertain accurately thu
season Of the year.-Forest and Stream

Mirrors OF the Greeks and Romans.

The mirrors Of the ancient Greeks and
Romans were thin disks Of bronze, high
ly polished and usually fashioned with
handles, though sometimes they were
set upright on stands. Later on silver
was used, and the first mirror of solid
silver is said to have been made by
Praxiteles in the time of Julius Caesar.
Subsequently silver mirrors took the
place Of brass or bronze ones almost al
together, though steel, copper and even
gold were also employed. Looking
