The Silk-Spinning Spider.

Investigation is being made as to
the silk spider of Madagascar, with
the object OF creating new industry.
A single female spider gave French
missionary 5000 wards of fine silken
thread recently in twenty seven days.
Small textures woven by these spi-
ders are used by the natives of Mad
agascar for fastening flowers on sun
shades and fo2 other purposes.

HE BORE HER TO THE CHAFT.
him the hope he was to be the sue
~cessOr. He could make for Ina then a
home such as she left, only gloritied
, by their mutual love; and as he wends
short and thick in thinking of that
time.
Another month rolled by, and Har-
vey Langford spent his days in a
strange alienation of joyful hope and
Jealous anger, though latterly the
former was slowly dying out. Ina be-
gan to treat him with suspicious cold
ness. She no longer bore allusion to
the fulfillment of her promise, and
her smiles grew more frequent to
others as they lessened to him. He
was pacing up the long lane leading
to her door on one fine October after
noon, revolving many bitter thoughts
and determining to make to Ina one
last appeal, when, turning bend in
the road, he saw two figures n short
distance ahead. There was no mis-
taking the straight young figure, with
the pretty hat coquetitshly placed
upon the night-curls; but the mans
heart beat thick and fast, as in the
tall, manly form at her side he recog-
nized VIII Strong.
No wonder she had grown cold and
hard, when she held secret meetings
with this man. He could hear no
spoken word between them, but he
saw that the girls head was bent low,
one little foot tapping the dust and
her ungloved hand clasped within
those of her companion He was

the Shrug was undenlable, and FOL
lowed up by a toss of the head and a
pout of the red lips.
81 should not suppose one could
judge of the difficulty attending an
untried task" retorted the young
man. "You know we'll enough what
would please me, Ina, and you are so
fully aware that you constantly pur-
sue the opposite path. Will Strong
and Joe Dering are good enough fell
lows in their way; but for all that, you
need not reserve all your smiles for
them. Let them know how matters
stand between us"
"And how is that?" interrupted tbs
girl, with quick flash of her eye.
'Ina, didn't you give me your prom
Use a month ago?' And the young
mans honest brown eyes looked stead
fly into hers.
81 told you when you got to be over
seer at the mines I would think about
it. There's plenty of time between
now and then for me to change my
mind-if, indeed, it has ever been
made up. At all events, frowns and
fault-fndings won't make me any the
more eager for the day to arrive"
''Ah, darling, when that hour comes,
the frowns will have been chased
away forever. Come, dear, tell me il
you love me just little. Perhaps
am unreasonable, but can't help it,
Ina. When see you with other men,
and you seem so cold and Indifferent
to me, l feel as though I could kill
them and snatch you away where no
eye but mine could dwell on your
.t6eauty. There, dear, l must leave
you. Say goodnight, and give me a
corner in your dreams"
The girls eyes had softened now.
The bright, young mouth quivered,
and the full, red lips were raised to
meetthe warm, glowing kiss her lover
left upon them.
81 do love you Harvey" she whis-
pered, eff you would only not be so
Cross
81 know it, dear" he answered.
And gathering her in his arms, as
pressed anotherSiss upon the chestnut
crowned head, and then went out into
the night.
Though but a rustic beauty, whose
views of life were bounded by the
village horizon, she had grown up a
willful, petted thing, with her feet as
carefully guarded from the rough
paths as any high-born lady in the
land.
Admiration was to her what the dew
is to the flower, and it was little
wonder that ofttimes Harvey Lang
ford's heart grew still with honest
dread, or that he longed for the day
TO come when he would gather this
wild flower to his breast.
The present overseer of the mine
was growing old and untitled for his
post. With the new year a change

In supplying bedding for the stock
one should consider note only the ques-
ton of the comfort of the animals and
the cheapness of the material, but also
the question of manure making, writes
w. Il. Farmer in american Cultiya-
tor" We can not afford to use cheap
bedding freely, that will injure the
manure pile, nor anything that will
not add to it's value. On the other
hand, the stock should never be
neglected in this way, even though
bedding is somewhat expensive. Ami
mails confined in close winter quarters
will naturally soil themselves unless
good bedding is supplied. and this will
always affect their health in the end.
The bedding acts as good absorbent,
and cleans out the stable better than
any other thing. 1t pays to furnish
good bedding, even if we get no benefit
from it other than of improving the
health of the stock. But bedding
that makes good manure pays we'll
1t is sometimes the most profitable
way TO use surplus material on the
farm. If used judiciously, so that it
will absorb all of the liquids of the
stable, it saves the farmer more than
it costs to supply it to the animals
Many consider bedding only as valua-
BILE in making the animals more COM
Portable, and hence they neglect to pro-
vide it in sufficient quantity The
straw ard litter will all be sold off the
farm for mere song, while the stock
goes without good bedding, and the
farm is being robbed of the plant food
it is crying so loudly for. Unless straw
can be sold at a good price it is better
to use all that is possible for the stable
where the stock is kept through the
winter Good rye and wheat straw
make the best bedding, and this will
absorb all of the liquid in the stables,
besides adding good material to the
soil. Good straw, however, in many
parts of the country sells well, bring
ing prices that the farmers can not
afford to let go by. 1t is probably
economy then to sell all of the good
straw, and use only the litter and
broken sheaves for bedding.

De Moreal, the French statiStician,
has been figuring on the gradual
diminution of height in the human
family with some astonishing re-
suits. He finds that in the year
1910 the average height of man was
1.75 meters, or about feet inches.
In 1870 it was 5 feet inches; in
1920, feet 5 inches. At tho present
time it is but 5 feet 81 inches. From
these figures it is easy to deduce the
rate of regular and gradual decline
in human stature. Figuring both
ways from the present we find that
the height of man ''in the beginning
was 16 feet 9 inches, and that the
average man of the year 1000 A. D..
will be less than 10 inches high --

The Iienhouse.

A poultry writer says: Select a
southerly position for the hen-house,
that the hens may enjoy the sunshine
in cold weather. Have a dry situa-
ton. Make the house so that it can
be well ventilated in warm weather,
and yet warm in the coolest weather.
1t should be well lighted, and so ar
ranged that the windows may be taken
out to admit the air i'll the summer.
Remove the old nests as often as every
month. Bury or burn them. Make
new nests of clean hay or straw, and
sprinkle them with sulphur powder,
and keep the house we'll whitewashed;
make the whitewash very salt, and
your hens will not be troubled with
lice.

Wheat I'm MARYLAND.

w
The Maryland Experiment station
in its summary for the past year in it's
report says: The only experiment made
with wheat was with varieties; forty
kinds having been tested. The ground
was thoroughly prepared, and the
wheat sown the latter part of Septem-
Ger; COO pounds of fertilizer per acre
was applied; the nitrogen in this being
supplied by nitrate OF soda, and fish
scrap. The idea in using the two
forms being-that the nitrate, acting
as it does very promptly, would give
the wheat a good start in the fall; and
the fish scrap, being slower in its eff
fects, would take up the work after
the nitrate had been exhausted. In
midwinter a top dressing of stable
manure was applied, with a manure
spreader, and about twenty bushels of
stone lime to the acre. On harvesting
and threshing it, most gratifying re-
turn was the result; the forty varie-
ties averaged 1872 bushels per acre
seven of them exceeded 40-and two
made over AZ bushels per acre.
HORTICULTURE AND IRRIGATION
the recent irrigation agitation, horticul-
ture has had prominent notice. When
land is handled under irrigation and
the supply OF water is under control,
it pays better to raise a horticultural
crop worth $500 or 81, 900 an acre than
to grow some common farm cereal
worth $40 or SIS an acre, The irrigated
counties of western Kansas show a
noteworthy tendency to horticultural
pursuits.
