Blue Jeans at the Fair.


Two Worlds fair visitors, in hickory
shirts, jeans pantaloons and immense
straw hats, stalked into the Missouri
state building the other day, and were
at once the center of curious crowd.
The visitors were brothers named Hart,
and they had taken novel way of reach
ing the Worlds fair. They left their
home in Camden county, Mo-, about the
middle of June and came up through
the Illinois bottoms by easy stages in
camping wagons.
Camden county, Mo-, is where they
raise good harvest hands. The Hart
brothers are typical members of this
profession. Along about early harvest
in June they allowed it to be good plan
to work their passage to Chicago and the
Worlds fair via the harvest fields.
Camping outfits were slowed away III
wagons and the pair started northward.
When they found II farmer who needed
extra help in making hay or harvesting
early crops they hired ont for few
days. They not only paid their travel
ing expenses in this way, but laid by a
snug sum with which to sec the fair at
their leisure.
When the Hart brothers reached Chi
cago they selected grove about four
miles west of the fair grounds and pitch
| ed camp for four weeks stay. Worlds
fair hotels had no allurements for them.
Their first visit in the fair grounds was
to the Missouri building. and it took
them some hours to get accustomed to
their new tangled surroundings. The
piano in the parlor pleased them i'm
mensely, but the typewriter machines in
operation simply astounded them.-

These views are expressed in The
Fanciers' Journal:
The dunghill fowl is of no importance
or worth, as Il rule, on Il poultry farm.
There are often individual hens that
have still some good blood in their veins,
but take the average dunghill and all
the good qualities that should be in a
business hen are gone. But while the
common hen is Of little worth the ex-
hibition fowl is very little better, mas
much as her occupation" is rather to
show the points of the breed than the
utility. 1t would be foolish invest
ment to buy such birds for an egg farm
or to raise meat for the table.
Culls of pure brcds would lay as many
eggs and produce as much meat as high
priced birds. The high prices charged
are not based upon the ability points of
the birds, but according to the fineness
of the feather, of the symmetry of form.
OF what use is all this to the farmer? He
is after the commercial use; he wants
dollars and cents and could get no more
for prize bird i'll market than he could
for dunghill Some of the fanciers
will boom their respective breeds by say
ing the flavor of their eggs and meat is
so superior to the common fowl that on
that score alone they would be the most
profitable. Such talk is all bosh. There
is not one person in the world who could
tell a common egg from thoroughbred.

Gypsy Moth,

There has been meeting Of the state
entomologists of different states upon
the section Of the country infested by
the gypsy moth. Professor H. 7. Fer
maid, state entomologist of Pennsylva-
MIA, says the methods used thus far are
as good as any he could suggest and de-
clares that the gypsy moth cannot DO
exterminated by parasites. as there will
always be some to escape the parasites,
and few insects will mean few parasites.
In this opinion he is supported by Pro-
fessor J. B. Smith, who holds the same
position in New Jersey. Professor j.
A. Inter, the state entomologist of New
York, has more faith in the cultivation
of the parasite and placing them in To-
calities where the insects most abound.

Striking Features of the Exhibits In the

On the opening day. according to a cor
respondent of American Gardening, the
most attractive sections were Australia's
and Japan's, and probably their hold on
public attention will not be riyaled by
any indoor horticultural exhibit. Both
are large, and each in its own way is
novel; Australia has more strange and
interesting plants than any other sec

To begin with, the vine is hardy per.
ennial, atfording an attractive shade
when trained over windows, arbors OF
porches. Here are a few uses for the
hops enumerated in The Rural New
Yorker; A bag of hops steamed and APP
piled to the seat of pain will give
speedy relief; Il hop pillow is one of the
best remedies for insomnia, if not the
very best; hop tea is very efficient in
cases of nervousness.

The seed of these old fashioned flowers
may be sown in the early spring or late
summer. If sown this autumn and you
cannot winter in cold frame, treat them
exactly as yon do hollyhocks or fox
gloves-cover them with few evergreen
branches and some dry tree leaves or
litter over winter. The white and rose
colored varieties produce fine effects.
