A new method of puuishing bad boys
was invented by a Kentucky judge the
other day. Eight negro lads from eight
to fourteen years of age were caught
breaking into a house. and the judge
who tried them and found them guilty
told the mothers of the boys that if
they would whip them publicly in
the courtroom, the little fellows would
not be sent to the penitetiary. So at
an appointed time space was cleared
in front of the judges desk in the
courtroom, and the mothers of the
eight culprits, armed with rawhides,
began the punishment. The blows
fell thick and fast, and in more than
one instance the punishment was so
severe that blood was drawn. Once
the judge thought it his duty to inter-
fere and prevent the whipping from be-
coming too brutal. The mothers evil
IDENTIFY were determined to do their
whole duty, for the beating continued
until the judge stopped the affair, and
the howling little darlIies were led
down the street towards their homes.
Whether the whipping was continued
in the privacy of the negro cabins the
account does not relate. A large crowd
witnessed the punishment in the court
room.

If the whole sea were formed into a
round column reaching to the sun, the
diameter of the column would be near

SCARLET CLOVER.
It Merits the Popularity Which 1t Is
Gaining Rapidly.

The popularity of scarlet clover is
rapidly increasing in some sections, and
it surely is deserving of trial in other
sections where poor, sandy lands
abound. We say this just now because of
the following by one who has had eX-
perience with it:
In the fall of 1891 harvested from a
poor sandy piece of land ten bushels of
corn per acre. After the last cultivat-
ing of the corn (in july scarlet clover
seed was sown, at the rate of one peck
per acre. and lightly covered. During
the last week in May, 1892, a crop of
hay was cut, the sod turned, and com
mercial fertilizer to the value of s3. 80
per acre drilled in, and again planted
to corn. This crop yielded 50 bushels
per acre. The season was very dry,
which affected the corn. With this
crop of corn scarlet clover was again
sown, and second crop of hay cut IN
May, 1898. Thus have fully demon
strated that crop of hay and one of
corn can be taken annually from the
same ground and yet improve it. On
land where the crop was turned under
instead of making hay, the yield of corn
was greatly increased.
Horses and cattle prefer it to the
best timothy hay and will thrive on it
equally well. Five tons of hay per
acre on good land is no unusual yield.
Seven to ten bushels per acre is the
usual yield of seed. Its season is two
weeks earlier than common red clover.
1t will not make permanent pasture,
but will delight the dairymau with two
early, heavy cuttings of green food;
but the first cutting must be made be-
fore blooming. After crop of hay OF
seed has been cut the entire plant
dies.
consider a crop turned under with
plow and chain equal to an application
of 1000 pounds per acre of the best
commercial fertilizer-John S. Barn
hart, in Farm, Field and Fireside.

house. 1t is between three and four
feet in height and broad in proportion.
Upon one end there is square open
ing for Dandy to enter.
One does not wonder that it requires
so many spare evenings to build the
house, for the accredited patience Of
job doesn't go any distance to speak of
compared with the patience it must
have required to put together so per-
fectly every detail of this pug's dwell
ing.
The miniature clapboards and shin
giles, perfectly in place, are monuments
to painstaking and patience. There
are upon the roof of the house over
5000 little shingles.
In pair of window blinds there are
more than 60 tiny Stats. The blinds are
exact copies of full-sized ones, even to
the bass fastenings and hinges These
very small brass hinges and fasteuings
were carefully whitfield out of odd
pieces of brass.
The window sills and windows are
no make believe portions of the
house, for the windows have pares of
glass about 1JGX2A inches in them, and
they fit the frames and sills exactly.
Moreover the festive house fly will not
be able to alight on Dandy's nose
when he is trying to take an after-din-
ner nap, for these windows are sup
piled with well-fitting fiy-screens.
The sanitary conditions of Dandy's
house have also been carefully ar
ranged. There is full set of cutters
and conductors. The heating appara-
tus hasn't been put in yet. Electric
bells and steam heat also Will be added.
In the front of the gable Of the house
there is round piece of colored glass,
and on the front of the house, at what
may be called the base of the gable,
there is inlaid in ebony letters into
tulip wood: Dandy cottage"
The color of the cottage is yellow,
with white trimmings and brown roof
1t has double doors in front, with neat
panelling and colored glass, brass
knobs, and brass-handled bell is on
the left of the doors.
Dandy is so proud of his new home
that he scarcely deigns to associate
with other Somerville dogs, and less
fortunate pugs have his special con
tempt,

plan, and both animals set to drinking

able to reduce the quantity OF water i'll

Here is crumb of comfort for those

SIZE. OF THE SEA.
Comparison Which VIII BE Found Rot
Novel and Instructive.

Comparison Which Will BE Found Roth
Novel and Instructive.
There are not many people who, if
they were to be asked the question,
could tell the size of the salt waters
of the earth. The figures are so great
that they could only say, with Dominic
Sampson: ''Prodigious" And yet some
illustrations may be given and com
parisons made as to the size of the sea,
which will be found both novel and
interesting.
The whole sea is composed of the
Atlantic and Pacific, the Indian ocean,
the Arctic and Antarctic seas, and
various smaller bodies of water, 1t
has an area of lac, ,O00, 900 square miles,
and would form circle of 1850 miles
in diameter.
The relative size of the areas of the
whole surface of the earth, of the
whole sea, of the Pacific and of the
Atlantic, can be represented by silver
dollar for the surface of the earth, a
half dollar for the surface of the whole
sea, twenty-five cent piece for the
surface of the Pacific, and a silver half
dime for the surface of the Atlantic.
The number of gallons of water in
the Pacific is 200, 600, 900, 100000, an
amount which would take 100000
years to pass over the Falls of Niagara,
and yet, if it was put into sphere, the
whole of the Pacific would only meas
ure 726 miles across.
The number of cubic feet in the At
lantic is III, followed by seventeen
ciphers u number that, counting one
foot at time, would be licked off by
1,OOO,O 900 clocks in $40 600 years.
The Pacific could contain the At
lantic bodily nearly three times. II
the Atlantic were made to fill a
circular pipe reaching from the earth
to the sun, the diameter of the pipe
would have to be little over n mile
while that of pipe of similar length
10 contain the Pacific would have to be
almost two miles.
Incidentally it may be said that the
distance to the sun is so great that, if &

enough to reach the sun, itwouid moi

Too Few Farmers Understand Where
Water Enters the Drain.
Most farmers think that the water
enters the tile drain only from the soil
above. This is certainly wrong inn
preston, and, while it is true that the
water in the soil Immediately over the
drain may enter the tile at or near the
top, yet that three feet to each side
settles nearly perpendicularly until it
strikes the water-soal1ed soil, and then
the natural force of gravity, atmos-
pheric pressure, and absorptive attrac'
ton, causes it to enter the drain eithor
at the bottom or through the joints IN
the tile near the bottom. The progI ess
of water toward the tile is shown by
the lines in the engraving. Immediate
ly over the drain the course Is down
ward; little farther away thi, course is
little out of the perpendicular, falling
until it strikes the watev soaked soil.

SECTION OF rrLE-pRA1NED LAND.


Should a section of an underdrain be
examined few hours after heavy
shower, the soil Immediately over and
in contact with the upper side of the
tile will be found quite dry, while the
nearer the bottom of the tile is APP
preached. the greater amount of moist
ure will be found, while at the bottom
it will be completely water soaked.
Hence, it is useless to place sods or
other porous material over the top of
tile at the joints, for the purpose of
allowing the water to enter. In fact,
sod, hay, straw or other vegetable mat
ter is the very worst covering to use,
as it is only a matter of few months
when it will perish, leaving a greater
or less space, that in time particles of
earth will fall or wash into, and very
much of this loose material finds its
way into the drain, often causing stop
page and trouble. For horseshoe tile,
a covering of piece of tough paper at
the joints, is the best thing possible,
and may extend down the sides to
within half an inch of the bottom.
Often, by turning tile end for end, a
better joint is made. Fit them close.

why Fall Flowing and Seeding Down Are
Profitable.
BY fall plowing and seeding down to
rye two crops will be turned under
weeds and rye. There may be little or
nothing added to the soil, as the green
food is derived from the soil itself dur
ing growth, though something may be
gained by the appropriation of the free
nitrogen of the atmosphere, but the
roots of the various kinds of weeds
draw upon both the soil and the sub
soil, converting insoluble substances
into plant food, and also feeding upon
the nitrogen brought down by the
rains as ammonia or nitric acid which
are returned to the soil when the weeds
are plowed under, while the stirring of
the soil permits the se&ls of weeds to
Rerminate and bo destroyed when the
rye is seeded down. AS rye feeds on
different foods from that preferred by
many of the weeds, it will also convert
inert matter into plant food by storing
it in the stalks, so that when corn is
planted on top of the rye in the spring
the land will have increased in fer
tility and the yield of corn will be
larger The greatest benefit, however,
will be secured by the destruction of
the weeds, and the lime will exert a
chemical effect on the soil that will
greatly assist in changing the charac-
ter of the plant food. Rural World.
