Utilizing Refuse Grapes.

H. n. Jarchow writes in the New York
World: IN the grapevine growing dis
tricts of France the refuse grapes gener-
ally are used in fattening turkeys. They
are given little food besides, but their
principal nurture consists of the remains
of the grapes, even after being distilled.
cit is well known that the refuse fruit
in cider making can be advantageously
fed to every farm animal and serves to
stimulate the appetite of the animals.

should try to use their waste grapes in
the direction mentioned"

Broadcasting Wheat.

It is found that in wet seasons wheat
that is broadcasted succeeds as well as
that which is drilled, says American Gull
tivator. The reason is that the drilled
wheat is usually covered too deeply.
Drilling is resorted to mainly for the
purpose Of distributing commercial min
eral manure with the seed. Then it
pays, but even then the ground must be
rolled to prevent the drill teeth from go
ing too deeply. If all the seed is not COW
cred it does not matter. The smaller
amount planted near the surface will
make more vigorous growth and stand
the winter better.

When Queen Bee Is Introduced.

A correspondent in American Bee
Journal writes:
Here is a way to tell whether a queen
is safely introduced when released
among the bees. In fifteen or twenty
minutes after you release her disturb
the bees in some way by smoking, JAR
ring the hive, ETC., and if they do not
pounce upon her at once shut up the
hive and go on and give it no further at
tention regarding the introduction Of
that queen. A queen is never safely in.

FARM POULTRY.

How to Improve Flock of Ordinary Barn
yard Fowls at Small Expense.
The farmers flock of common fowls
may be greatly improved by killing off
the males and replacing them with thor
oughbred cocks While we believe that
pure bred fowls are the most profitable
and do not advocate the crossing Of DIFF
ferent varieties, yet it may be at times
desirable to do so. If it is to be done, it
should be done Systematically and with
definite purpose. To illustrate what is
meant The Poultry Yard explains thus:

If the United States does annex Ha-
waii, it will come to us exactly as so
many of Great Britain's colonies have
come to her. First the missionaries went
out with Bibles to convert the heather.
Then followed the opening of Ahe coun-
try TO the white mans trade. Then it
became necessary to protect the trade
interests. Then followed soldiers, an
nexation and possession. The men fore
most in the revolution and annexation
movement at Hawaii are the descendants
Of missionaries who went from the
United States to the Sandwich Islands
years ago. Judge Sanford B. Dole, pres
ident Of the provisional government, is
the son of missionary parents who went
from Massachusetts to the islands in
1910. Hon. Lorin A. Thurston, presi-
dent of the ANNEXATION commission, is
the grandson Of missionary parents who
went from Massachusetts in 1919. 1t
seems to be the old pilgrim father blood
that is stirring up this rumpus again.

board Of this van the mother Of the
wiggling youngstcr leaned first on one
elbow and then on the other, shifting
the animated baby in her arms at each
change. Finally the conversation grew
more interesting the baby more rest
less and the mother more fatigued,
until at last she placed the baby in the
van. This seemed to tickle the young
ster immensely, for he at once settled
down into a state as near that of
quietude as it was possible for his live
ly disposition to allow him to assume.
So quiet did he become, in fact, that
the mother seemed to forget his pres
sence, and became still more deeply
engrossed in the animated conversa-
ton she was holding with her lady
friend.
Suddenly the sleepy driver of the van
awoke to realization Of the fact that
he might as well be moving on, and,
gathering up his reins, he popped his
whip, and, before the young mother re-
allied the situation, away went the
van, laundering along out Prince

bouncing about in it like an over

was yelling: "Stop!' at the top Of his

not have drowned them out any

did the numbering of the van, and the
driver remained oblivious of the fact
that he had lively load, and was Gre

street car on Fifth avenue.
At last, just as he Stacked up to turn
a corner, the plucky little mother, who
had held the lead all along, caught up,

at that moment the animated little

NEW ARTIFICIAL FUEL.

Produced by, tho Admixture Of Whita
Powder with Coal Dust.
Additional tests OF satisfactory
character have been made of q new
artificial fuel produced by the admix-
ture Of q white dry powder with coal
dust in certain proportions. Pitch is
the combining medium almost uni
versally employed for utilizing coal
waste, but it involves certain practic-
al objections in storage and use
which, it is claimed, are overcome by
the new process. The composition OF
the powder employed In this case Is
not made known, but 1t is said to con.
sist of two natural substances, both OF
which are plentiful and inexpensive,
and do not give out noxious fumes In
combustion nor exert any deleterious
influences whatever upon tho boiler
plates or fucs. Tests show that, ms
compared with anthracite coal, the
blocks made of this material are Of de-
cided value when used in q boiler fur
mace. That is, it was found that the
total horse power developed by the
boiler with the anthracite coal in Its
natural condition was 36s, 1, while with
blocks of the new material 1t was

The greatest discovery of fossil re-
mains ever made in any part of the
southern hemisphere has just taken
place in one of the most barren and
forbidding localities in the northeast
Of South Australia. The animals,
whose remains arc included in this
great discovery, are principally Of the
extinct species, the diprotodon, q
species OF marsupial closely allied to
the Australian kangaroo. In most re-
spects, however. the diprotodon, dur.
ing its terrestrial existence, bore rath.

the bones Of these animals there have
been founc some remains of the gigan-
tic bird, dinornis, now extinct.
No fewer than eighty diprotodons
are represented by the bones already
unearthed and it Is evident from the
close proximity of the localities where
the chief collections have been made
that the struggle for existence must
have been particularly severe at the
time wheu SO many creatures OF the
same species were driven to take ref.
ugc in one spot.
The most probable theory in regard
to this great collection Of fossil re-
mains would, therefore, seem to be
that when the race was becoming near

painful wound from the fang of large
scorpion.
Another time, desiring to take an
afternoon siesta in my hammock, I
shook out the shawl spread over it, and
from the folds fell good sized female
scorpion. Having rcsprcad my shawl
turned over the pillow to beat 1t up,
when from under it there dropped over
"a baby scorpions. The young scor-
pions usually travel from point to
point on the mothers back, but while
she is foraging around for food they
are generally to be found in hiding
near by, as was this little colony. Over
10 young ones have been found with
one female.
The poison from these creatures is
applied in three different ways, though
the poison itself is much the same and
similar In action.
The fang Of the scorpion Is at the
very tip Of its long, flexible tail, as the
abdomen appears to be, and with 1t the
creature can deal itself quite as deadly
blow as it can to any enemy. This 1t
will do, just as described In one Of By
rons poems, If it be surrounded with
circle OF fire and assured Of Its inability
to escape. This have tested quite
score Of times, thus disproving claims
Of certain naturalists, who probably
never saw live scorpion, that Byron
invented the story to suit his rhyme.
The amount Of poison In the scorpion
will not, In my opinion, kill a healthy
adult, although twill cause an amount
of pain for some hours that is most
difficult to bear with fortitadc, as
can testify from personal experience.
But large female scorpion certainly
can cause death to half-grown child
or to timid woman OF man whose
blood is In bad or impure condition.
The tarantula carries its poison at
the base Of the most savage-looking
fangs, that hang down from the lower
side OF It's head. Owing to their po-
sition, the term "bite" may be more
correctly applied to the tarantula than
to either of the others; 1t Is, neverthe-
less, not bite, but q sudden down.

BOYS ON a CRUISE.
HOW TWO Youngsters Became Acquaints<

HOW Two Youngsters Became Acquainted
with New Teacher.
Two boy relatives of mine, who have
been spending their summer holiday
at tiny seaside town in Sussex, have
recently become possessors of small
sailing boat, and delightful time
they have had for the last month.
OF course they can handle boat
well. Their happy childhood was
spent in quaint fishing village on the
east coast Of England, and as tiny
boys of six and eight they were con-
tinually taken out by the hardy boat
men In their big fishing luggers. As
they grew older the same rough but
kindly friends taught them to row
and swim and skillfully sail boat,
and the oldest boatman on the beach
crippled. white-haired veteran
would say, when asked sometimes If
such young boys were safe alone upon
the water, that there was very little
about boats that he could teach Master
Tom and Jack, "sartin sure"
And they have had some adventures,
too. / remember once when l was q
guest in their home we three, myself
and the two boys, started one
bright July afternoon for cruise
to the Goodwin sands and back. 1t
was long sail, but we didn't mind;
we were going to have a picnic tea in
the boat and return home by MOON
light.
Well, we carried out our programme
and enjoyed ourselves thoroughly.
Coming back q stiff breeze sprang up
and our staunch little Queen Of the
May perfectly flew along. Suddenly
In little silence that had fallen upon
us all after the somewhat noisy sing
ing of glees and part-songs, sound
like a cry of somebody in distress was
waited across the waters. We did not
take much notice of 1t at first, think
ing it was the scabirds, whose cries
are sometimes SO human, but In another
moment we heard it again, this time
more distinctly, and we realized then
that it was the word Help" that was
being called out.
We all felt dreadfully excited as we
peered out over the moonlit sea; then
Jack Ks sharp eyes deserted small black
object away to the left Of the boat,
and, with our hearts beating with ex-
citement, we altered our course and
made for it as speedily as we could.
As we came nearer VIC saw the floating
object was n small boat, and we could
see some figures in 1t. Then we used
our healthy young lungs In an cncour-
aging shout to 'hold on" and in few
minutes came up to the distressed
craft. We found it to be a very small
rowing boat. A young man with his
coat off sat in the center, baling out
water, while lady and tiny fair
haired girl of three or four years were
crouched down at one end. And we
were to be the rescuers Of the forlorn
little party! Here was an exciting ad-
