Why Red Anglers an Or.

The reason why anything of red
color excites and infuriates the OK
tribe is because red is the compile
mentary color of green, and the eyes
of oxen being long fixed upon the
green heritage while feeding, when
they espy anything red it impresses
their sight with greatly increased in
tensity. The same effect is doubtless
produced upon all grazing animals
by red color, but oxen, being more
pugnacious than others, show greater
excitement and often attack that which
surprises them. London Answer.

A Rare Butterfly.

Camping in the Sierras a young man
discovered and captured butterfly of
an unknown species. He sent it to the
Smithsonian institution al Washington
and received therefor check for ff-
teen hundred dollars with the request
to make careful search for other moths
of the sameglxind. 1t was an individual
of a fossil species supposed to be ex-
tiuct. and great was the excitement
among the scientific men at the discov-
nv that one of the race had recently
been alive. Although diligent search
had been made by men paid for the
service no other specimen has been
found.-Dralxe's Magazine.

In Patagonia.

Jonathan C. Davis, a Welshman,
who has lived for sixteen years in
Patagonia, has just published a book
about that little known country. There
is a Welsh colony in it, planted in 1869
by Rev. NJ. Jones. The original NUM-
Der was one hundred and fifty, but 1t IS
now three thousand. 1t is settled IN
the Chubat valley, which is about forty
miles long and four broad and we'll
protected by ranges of hills. 1t was
not until 1917 that the colony showed
signs of prosperity and even now the
colonists have to struggle with fears
and dangers that would daunt any but
a hardy and determined people.-De-

Mime. de Paena for three hundred
thousand francs, which Mime. lie

AN Eastern writer in the StOckman
and Farmer says:

AN Eastern writer in the Stockman
and Farmer says:
There can be no doubt that the states of
New England could readily supply the
home demand for all the corn they use, I'M
less in a very exceptional season. The
average yield of all of them is higher than
the average of the whole country; and by
more careful and intelligent culture this
could be easily increased at least fifty per
cent. AS 1 have been farmer in the Ohio
valley for quite while 1 am able to COM
pare corn-growing in the two sections I'm
questionably the principal drawback with
our Eastern corn is the small quantity of
grain per ear making the work of husking
and Smelling five or six times greater than
in the West. Besides this, as the ears
stand erect after ripening, the harvest
time is shortened, as exposure is serious
injury to the grain. This is one of the
things which necessitates the planting of
comparatively narrow areas with this grain.
If we could get a drop-ear. deepseeded
dent corn, in place of our oldfashioned
flint, it would be great advantage. Some
the dent corns lose their characteristics
very quickly in the East; but 1 doubt
whether they ever had a sufficient trial
OF course, while the flint varieties are
grown extensively, and the dent only ex-
perimentally, natural crossing will soon
mongrelize the latter, and nullify the most
carefully conducted tests. The introduce
nf Hoir hoe
tended greatly to increase the area planted
to corn, because silage is a cheap and good
food for cows, and the obstacles above noted
are thus put aside. 1t is not now uncom-
mon to see the old-time one-acre patches
increased many fold. and usually of larger
kinds than will fully mature the grain. AS
winter dairying has become an established
institution with us, corn-growing is bound
to increase. There is also another new in
dustry which has sprung up, chiefly in
southeastern Maine, during the past dozen
years-the growing Of sweet corn for can
ming, 1t is claimed that the Maine sweet
corn is sweeter than any grown elsewhere;
but this only means that the work is better
done there. Maine has long done large
business in canned goods of many sorts,
and those engaged in the business are nat
urally more expert, and better equipped for
. this reason. There is no reason whatever
why the Champlain valley farmers should
not produce as good corn and fruit for this
purpose as any part of Maine-or at least
no other reason except that the cities and
the West drain us OF about all of our most
enterprising young business men. The
Champlain valley alone could richly sus.

CoRN-growing in New England is
decidedly on the increase, both for the
grain and for feeding as silage or fod-
der. 1t is as crop far cheaper and
many ways better than roots. If we
had expert root growers to do the work,
as they have in Europe, it might be
different; but the Europeans Except

there. We must follow natures teach

EVERY experienced sheep farmer
knows the need of care to prevent the
inroads of those diseases of a parasitic
nature so destructive where sheep are
kept on large scale, especially when
they have access to low grounds. A
Western writer, speaking of this, "ven-
lures to predict that from present indi-
cations the vast sheep ranches of the
great West will in few years become
so infected with one parasite and an
other, both internal and external, that
the sheep industry will be entirely
broken up, and sheep can only be prof
itably kept upon farms in the states
where the land is occasionally plowed."

MUCH attention is proftably being
given 10 the subject of lung disease
among our dairy herds. Though firmly
protesting against "scares " in this
matter-especially those started by vet
Urinary adventures for their own profit
we recognize serious danger in the
plans of those who run either milk or
butter diaries at 80 high a pressure as
would exclude free exercise in the open
air for the cows and young stock at all
proper seasons. Too much confne-
ment, and the constant rebreathing of
their own and others breaths, are the
fruitful causes of outbreaks of lung dis
ease-as much with cattle as with hui
man beings. Under some conditions
we do not dispute the existence of
something akin to contagion but we
are satisfied that this can rarely, if ever,
occur under fairly natural conditions,
such as prevail on most well-managed
dairy farms. AS the Maine Farmer
says:
Unsanitary conditions, such as over.
crowding in poorly ventilated and poorly
lighted stables, and feeding of food which is
not nutritious, are not Insignificant in
this respect, Conditions which injure the
lungs are favorable to the development of
tuberculosis. Among these are the inhaa-
ton of dust and smoke, and all conditions
which may induce chronic inflammation of
the bronchial tubes, with abundant secre-
ton and subsequent pneumonia (broncho
pneumonia) Among the other causes which
are said to favor tuberculosis are the over
production of milk, too many births, the
improvement of stock by continual inbreed-
ing, and the consequent inheritance of Ger.
tain constitutional characters of debilitat-
ing nature"

A SAFE and reliable tree label has
long been needed. Wire cuts into the
wood printing and pencil-writing
become illegible on wood and though
pencil marks remain readable on zinc,
yet if the zinc is hung free on wire
the constant agitation of the wind wears
the label off. A zinc strip wound once
around the limb has been advised, on
the ground that the growth of the wood
would open it. But now Meehan's
Monthly declares this to be not true,
and tree planters are still needy in this
direction. On the whole, we think the
best way to keep a record of varieties
in an orchard is to map it. We have
yet pencil map of peach orchard we
set out in Kentucky, thirty.seven years
ago, which is as plain to read as when
written. We prefer pencil because if a
tree dies we may replace it with an
other, and easily alter the name on the
map if necessary.
