Worms That Sprout and Grow.

The headline above should properly
have been full sentence something
like this: "Worms that sprout and
grow like shrubs; )" and the story it
self, were it learnedly told, would be
remarkable narrative of one of the
most wonderful vegato-auimal growths
in existence. The scientists say moth
ing about this great creature, if crea-
ture it can be properly called; at
least l have been unable to find even
the remotest allusion to its existence,
and those who have regularly read this
department for the past five years will,
facilities for looking up natural and
unnatural oddities are among the very
best. This vegetable worm has been
reported from but one State (Ohio), as
far as L have been able to ascertain,
and there it has never been made the
subject of scientific investigation. My
informant, valued and observing
friend of liberal education, whom /
shall designate as ''R. G. NJ" says that
the creature, when playing in the sin
gle role of larva, is nine-seg-
mented caterpillar with hard, yell
lowish-red head, the body much re-
sembling the common grub worm. ;"
1t spends the winter in the loose soil
of hazel thickets, and is seldom found
except by persons engaged in prepar-
ing these jungles for farming pur-
poses. While in his enforced winter
sleep, this red headed grub is Mt
tackled by II queer species of fungus
which always, SO far as has been OBJ
served, fastens itself in the fold of the
eighth segment, about quarter of an
inch from the vent. As spring APP
proaches this vegetable germ feels the
warmth before it has had any effect
upon the sleepy worm, and this is
sadly to the grub's disadvantage I'm
mediately the fungus begins to grow
in two directions; woody stem starts
for sunlight and air, and corky or
pulpy substance begins to fill the skin
of the worm. Every leg and fold is
filed with the fungus growth moth
ing escapes; it is clear case of trans
formation of animal into vegetable
tissue. The stem buds when about six
inches above ground and bursts into
two leaves resembling those of the
hickory st. Louis Republic.

To PIT POTATOES.

The safest way to keep potatoes is
to pit them in the ground at least
eighteen inches deep. This keeps
them cool until they are taken in for
the winter. When the potatoes are
taken up they should be exposed to
the air, but not to the sun if it can be
avoided, for some hours, then heaped
in the pits as high as they will stay,
which is twentyfour inches for two
foot pit, enough for safety, as in too
large quantities they are apt to heat,
They are covered with boards placed
end wise, one end on the ground to
make sloping roof over them, and
straw is thrown over the boards to
keep them cool and dry. When the
winter comes earth may be heaped
over the straw, which should then be
made n foot thick. A few wisps of the
straw are placed in top of the heaps to
make "A way of escape for the damp
ness or any heat that may arise in the
potatoes. New York Times.

A Matter OF Health.

Housekeepers family realize the
danger of an indiscriminato use of the
numerous baking powders nowadays
found upon every hand, and which are
urged upon consumers with such per-
sistency by peddlers and many grocers
on account of the big profits made in
their sale. Most of these powders are
made from sharp and caustic acids and
alkalies which burn and inhame the
alimentary organs and cause, indiges-
tion, heartburn, diarrhmal diseases,
etc. Sulphuric acid, caustic potash,
burnt alum, all are used as gas-produc-
ing agents in such baking powders.
Most housekeepers are aware of the
painful effects produced when these
chemicals ale applied to the external
flesh. How much more acute must be
their action upon the delicate internal
membranes Yet unscrupulous man
ufacturers do not hesitate to use them,
because they make very cw-cost pow
der, nor to urge the use of their pow
ders so made, by all kinds of allurIng adj
vertisements and false representations.
All the low priced or so-called cheap
baking powders, and all powders sold
with gift or prize, belong to this
class.
Baking powders made from chem
ically pure cream of tartar and bi-car
Donate of soda are among the most
useful of modern culinary devices.
They not only make the preparation
of finer and more delicious cookery
possible, but they have added to the
digestibility and wholesomeness of
our food. But baking powders must
be composed of such pure and whole
some ingredients or they must be ta-
booed entirely.
Dr. Edison, Commissioner of Health
of New York, in an article in the
doctor of Hygiene" indicates that
the advantages of good baking pow
der and the exemption from the dan
gers of bad ones in which the harsh
and caustic chemicals are used, are to
be secured by the use of Royal Baking
Powder exclusively, and he recon-
mends this to all consumers. 1.-The
Royal" he says, contains nothing
but cream of tartar and soda
refined to chemical purity, which
when combined under the influence of
heat and moisture produce pure car
bonic, or leavening, gas The two
materials used, cream of tartar and
soda, are perfectly harmless even when
eaten, but i'll this preparation they are
combined i'll exact compensating
weights, so that when chemical action
begins between them in the dough they
practically disappear, the substance of
both having been taken to form car
bonic-acid gas. Hence it is, he says,
that the Royal Baking Powder is the
most perfect of all conceivable agents
Tor leavening purposes.
1t seems almost incredible that any
manufacturer or dealer should urge the
sale of baking powders containing in
furious chemicals in place of those of
well-known, pure and wholesome
character simply for the sake of few
cents pound greater profit; but since
they do, II few words of warming seem
to be necessary.

WATER AND SHADE FOR COWS.

BE sure that the cows have plenty
of pure water. Do not oblige them
to drink from stagnant pools. They
enjoy pure water as much as human
beings do. The pasture should be
provided with shade. If no trees are
growing there, make rude shelter of
boards roomy enough for all. The
shady side of fence is a poor place
for milch COW, with the thermome-
ter at ninety degrees, and burning
sun with no breeze. American Agri-
culturist.

HARD CROr,

This is term frequently employed
by those who write requesting rem
edy for IA certain affection to which
fowls are liable. This disorder is of
two kinds-dry caked, hard crop and
the undigested, swollen, sour, watery
condition of the contents of this re-
ceptacle Mt times. Either is bad
enough, and both are fatal to fowl life
if not taken seasonably in hand. 1t is
not nice job to perform, but an I'M
pleasant, though not very difficult,
operation to open, cleanse and sew up
the crop thus affected This is indi-
gestion simply. The food or water
does not pass into the system in the
desired way, but lodges in the crop.
This ferments, swells, hardens or
sours, and death follows if the bird is
not relieved.
Cut near the top OF the crop slit
lengthwise with sharp knife, and
then turn out the offending substance
by gently pressing it away with the
hand, while another person holds the
bird firmly upon its side, When oil is
removed sew mp the slit edges of the
crop skin closely with small sized
needle and fine white silk feed spar
ingly on soft food for three or four
days, and generally the hen will re-
cover. This process is for valuable
fowls. With common bird knock
on the head and swift burial is the
least trouble and the best remedy
for swollen crops, rs it is for every
disease that is liable to leave the fowl
in delicate condition, requiring nurs-
ing and care that its value will not
guarantee. -Poultry World.

HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS.
ECONOMY IN GOOD BRUSHES.

One of the most useful of articles in
the house is brush made of good hair.
If properly cared for it will last for
years, but buy only the best kind with
the hair wired into the back. The
cheap brushes have the hair glued in
and will not stand water. Even the
stove brush should be of the best,
whether for use outside or inside.
Choose one with short handle and it
will clean out every bit of dust from
every nook and Granny. Stove ovens

Shooting at a Negro FestIvar

At negro "festibule" on the Grassy
Like pike, on Thursday night, Dave
Carter, a negro of unsavory reputation
shot and wounded Tom Dabney, an
other negro. 1t seems the Carter
negro had been excepting company
with Dabney's sister and conceived the
idea that his proprietory rights ex-
tended to a degree that would allow
him to beat the woman whenever it
was his pleasure so to do. Carter was
on the evening mentioned, proceeding
to exercise his supposed rights, when
the brother interfered, and Carter,
incensed at the gross insult altered
him by Dabney, drew his pistol and
proceeded to do him. The ball enter
ed the side of the abdomen and rang
ed around the body. The negro will
probably recover.

city; but the August days will be

Legislation needed, a majority of them
express themselves as willing to hear
the argument of those who advocate /
other ideas, and to be open to convic-
ton if the other fellows argument be
the best. If this feeling be shared by
a majority of the Democrats in both
House and Senate the difficulty of
reaching some satisfactory basis of
compromise will be greatly lessened.
But it is going to take time to bring
about that result, and wise people
will not expect immediate Congress
sional action on this important SUBJ
ject. Good Legislation is better than
hurried Legislation, and I have yet to
see Democrat who does not firmly
believe that good Legislation will be
