Tho Russian Thistle,

The so-called Russian thistle, which
has become such a pest in the north
western states. is not properly a
thistle at all, but an annual nearly
allied to the saltworts. 1t has done

crops last year. It was accidentally i'm
troduced seventeen years ago in some

Cost of MIX Production.

With a fairly good herd, carefully fed
and kept. milk can be. produced for o5c
per cwt and fat for Ice. per ID. for cost
of food consumed, says the Cornell ex-
pertinent station. Individuals of the
sane breed vary more widely in milk
and butter production than do the
breeds themselves. Larger animals
consumed less pounds of dry matter
per 1000 lbs live weight per day than
did the smaller animals. In general
the best yields of fat were obtained from
cows that gave at least a fairly large
flow Of milk, and cows consuming the
most food produced both milk and fat
at the lowest rate. For the production
of milk and fat there is no food SO cheap
as good pasture grass. - Farm and

How Birds Exgs Arc shaped

DR.. Nicalsky. of st. Petersburg, at
tributes the form of birds eggs to
gravity. He thinks that every egg not
yet coated with a solid shell departs
from the spherical form and elongates,
simply because of pressure on it by the
walls of the ovary. In birds which
keep vertical position when at rest
{such as the falcon and owl), the soft
egg becomes short through the birds
weight acting against the ovarian pres
sure. In birds which, like the grebe,

body acts in tho same direction as the

THE REPORT
Of the Hooking County vfs-
iting Committee.
Honorable Jueiae I7ufnan:

HOVOTUOtc CUuye IAWUWuUs
In. accordance with your order we,
the Committee appointed to Investi-
gate the Penal and Charitable Insti-
tutions Of Hooking County, submit to
you our Report.
On Monday afternoon,, November
28th, we visited the Children's Home.
We find, owing to the lack of help,
rather deplorable state Of affairs.
Several of the children were suffer-
ing from skin diseases, and were re-
ally in a very. bad condition. The
Matron, placed as she is, without effi-
cient help, can not possibly give the
children the proper care. Many of
require not only to be fed and clothed,
physically. To do this requires more
help than Is now employed by the Di-
rectors of the Home. It tis utterly Inn
possible for one woman to oversee the
management of the kitchen and the
cellar, attend to the clothing of the
children, (making q great many of
them herself) see that the children
are bathed, kept clean and properly
fed and keep the sleeping department.
and the house generally clean. In
addition to all, this she is expected to
teach the children at least a few
hours, daily. Consider this amount
of labor to be done by one woman for
the insignificant salary Of 1880 a
week. 1t Is utterly absurd to think
that two women could do Justice to
the physical wants of thirty or forty
children. And yet, not only is this
expected, but they are also supposed
to give the required mental and NOR
al training. M n ! ,-f.-.' :,
Besides an assistant in the kitchen,
the Matron should also have an as
sistant, who could take practical
charge OF the children. This woman
should be the teacher and also attend
the children, leaving the Matron free
70 dlscharge her duties. She should
attend to the bathing and personal
cleanliness Of the children and also
assist the Matron in caring for their
It IL the wish Of the people that the
children should have a Home and

anguish the holiness Of the Sunday
from that Of the routine Of the week

proper care and attention.

The Lancaster Eagle says. a
very excellent entertainment last
night was the Demorest Medal
contest at the M. E. church. The
program as published in yester-
days Eagle was carried out to the.
letter, and the large audience pres
ent was we'll pleased with the diff.
ferent numbers. The judges of the
contest were Prof. Arnold, princi-
pal of the east school building;
Prof. Wolf, principal of the south
school building, and Attorney j. s.

they awarded the medal to Miss
Fannie Wy man on her recitation

Miss Wyman is a daughter of Mr..
Washington Wyman of the Tai.

possessed of considerable elocution-
cry ability. The entertainment
was given under the auspices of
the I. o. g. T., and the success is
due to efforts and labors of the
members of that organization.
