BOAT RACING IN AM ERICA.
A Comparison of Time Made by Yale
and Harvard

A Comparison Of Time Made by Yals
and Harvard
Boat racing had a small beginning In
America. In the class Of "A OF Yale were
seven young athletes who thought they
saw glory on the water. These seven
young men organized the first college boat
club in America. This might have been
called q class rather than a university
club. Without anything like a racing
SHE'LL the young Ellis rowed in pleasure
boats, and aroused the enthusiasm of
Harvard men so quickly that boat club
was organized at Cambridge in ls45, the
year following the organization of that at
Yale. The oarsmen OF both colleges were
now thinking OF race, but under the then
conditions such an event was difficult to
bring about.
Pleasure boats were used until 1859. In
that year the eght-oared barge was intro.
duced and rowing, receiving fresh stim-
ulus thereby, was soon firmly established.
For six years the barge was used. Then
Harvard took the lead with racing shell

A Queer Plant Disease.

A very beautiful proof of the delicacy
of the balance of forces on which the
life and health of animals and plants
depends is furnished by some recent
experiments at Cornell university.
Tomatoes grown in the forcing.
houses of the university had the veins
of their leaves greatly swollen and
turned white, and the leaf cells were
enormously stretched; SO much so, in
fact, that at length they burst, and
water poured plentifully from them
The cause of this singular phenomena
was found to be that in consequence
Of the great amount OF moisture con-
tanned in the warm air of the
forcing-houses, the leaves were not able
to give out water by transportation as
fast as it was sent into them by the ac.
tion of the roots. 1t was case Of veg.
etable dropsy.
Another instance of similar effect
has been seen in the case of apple-trees
which were ruthlessly pruned during
the winter. When spring came, and
the roots began to set currents Of mois-
ture flowing upward into the twigs and
leaves, the latter had been SO greatly
reduced in number that they could not
take care of the too-abundant supply
thus forced upon them, and result,
the leaves became gorged with water,
and the tree suffered from dropsical
disease.-Farm and Fireside.

The Dixie Interstate fair, to be

1t is stated, on what seems to be

&c, 900 sheep in one county in North Car

These sheep are shared annually and
the proceeds go into the county treas
ury.

the writer that for fowls of all ages,

Raw Eggs.

Raw eggs'are frequently ordered, as
when they can be taken and retained
by sick person they are extremely
nourishing, simply because the al
bumen, not having been hardened, is
the sooner digested. Many, however,
can not take raw eggs as usually given,
that is, beaten up with milk or wine.
The following mode is good one; the
appearance of the dish is SO nice that
an invalid will often be induced to try
it. It is free from oiliness and clean to
palate. Put the yolk of an egg into q
basin with teaspoonful of white
sugar and tablespoonful of orange or
lemon juice, and beat lightly together
with fork. Put the white on plate
add pinch of salt, and then, with a
broad-bladed knife, beat it to stiff
froth. Then, as lightly as possible,
mix all together in the basin, and as
lightly transfer to clean tumbler,

made. This must not stand in warm
place, or it soon becomes liquid and
loses its snowy look.-Boston Budget.

Luncheon Salad.

A very good luncheon salad that is a
delight to the eye as well as taste. is a
potato salad served in tomatoes. In
composition it varies little from the
everyday potato salad, and for this
reason is given finer name and called
a Japanese salad. Prepare tomatoes as
for filling with chicken salad, and set
in the ice-box to get very cold. To
make the filing for half dozen toma-
toes chop two cold boiled potatoes fine
and add to them three good-sized truf-
fes that are chopped as fine as the po-
tatoes. Mix them with wooden
spoon, and turn them over and mix
carefully a French dressing made from
q half teaspoonful of salt, a fourth tea
spoonful of Hungarian red pepper, four
tablespoonfuls of oil and one of vine-
gar. Set in the ice-box for half an
hour. Then add to the mixture ta-
blespoonful of chopped parsley. Fill
the tomatoes with the salad, put on top
of each teaspoonful of mayonnaise
and serve on a bed Of crisp lettuce. N.

FEEDING VALUE OF WHEAT.


4 Question That is Pertinent In These Days
of Cheap Wheat and Dear Corn.
Before me lie four letters, all asking
information on the same subject-the
feeding value Of wheat for our live
stock.
These inquiries are stimulated by the
anomalous conditions which now pre-
vail in our markets for foodstuffs.
Wheat has been gradually going down
III price for some years past until it is
now at figure we would not have be-
lieved possible ten years ago. Corn,
although very closely related to wheat
in its nutritive C, nstituents, has fiuc-
tuated in price each year from causes
apparently Independent Of the wheat
supply or price.
All this time we find wheat at its
lowest because, they tell us, of the
large supply in comparison with the
demand, and corn selling at about the
price as wheat. in Chicago because Of
the prospects of an unusually small
crop in the great corn districts of the
west. That fifty-six pounds of corn
of wheat may well cause us to wonder
what will happen next
1t is good time for feeders to have
their wits about them and make the
most of the situation. do not won
der that men hesitate about feed
ing wheat to hogs, for we
can not help thinking of the
many that must suffer for
bread the coming winter. We have
been taught by custom to regard this
grain as in some way set apart for mans
especial use, and that there is defile-
ment in feeding 1t to stock, while we
hold corn as the food par excellence
for stock and decry its upward price
toward the level of wheat as altogether
wrong in the very nature of things.
Let us first look at the comparative
value of wheat and some of its prod
ucts and compare these with corn:

Napoleon a. . Msrksman.

Although Napoleon was a great gen.
eral, beyond dispute, 1t appears from
some recently published recollections
of two OF his favorites that he was a
very poor marksman. Yct he was fond
OF hunting, and something had to be
done to cater to his vanity. 1t seems
that whenever q stag was brought to
bay, it was usual to leave the animal
to be killed by the emperor. On one
such occasion he could not be found,
and the master of the hounds did the
business. Suddenly, Napoleon was
seen approaching, and the stag was
hurriedly propped up on his legs with
tree boughs. The gun was handed to
the emperor, and he fred at the stag.
whcreupon the master of the hounds
slightly disturbed the boughs, and the
stag fell to the ground. Napoleon was
completely deceived, and observed,
complacently: "After ell, am not so
bad shot as they try to make OUT

The results of all this were beiieiit

stopped all litigation between farmers
and railroads for Killing stock. An
other very important item, rarely
ever thought Of until aftef the
working Of the stock law, is the
additional public roads granted to the
county without any actual cost. Two
farmers joining would much rather
have good road, regularly used, run
ming between their farm than to have
an everlasting and an unsiahtly row Of
bushes, briars and weeds standing in
their way. So all to be done is to ask
for road along this or that land line;

much. When they have their wagon
