The act declares all other acts on the

A Remarkable Caterpillar.

In New Zealand and Australia they
have an animal which, from all ac-
counts, cannot be equaled by any
other animate or inanimate object
upon the earth's surface. 1t is the
queerest of the many antipodeaI. won
ders and Paradoxes, and, for the want
of better name. has been called the
"bullrush caterpillar" or vegetable
worm" The native Tasmanian name
for the oddity is "Aweto-Hotete."
The above ground portion of this veg
etable worm is fungus of the order
sphaeria, which grows to a height OF
six or eight inches. When pulled up
by the root, this fungus is found to
consist of large caterpillar, showing
head, segments and breathing holes
every detail of the grub being per.
fectly pres rived. On examination OF
the interior of the caterpillar it is
found to be composed of n ''punky"
looking substance, really the root OF
the fungus, which has cremated every
fiber of what was once a living, breath
ing creatures anatomy. In all the in
stances which Bucklaud records, the
sphaeria had made its attack in the
fold of skin between the second and
third segments of the caterpillar and
had replaced all the animal substance
of the creatures body with a hard
brown vegetable growth resembling
the fungoid growths on blackberry
and other vines. st. Louis Republic.

A MODEL FARM.

Elmdale farm, owned by George W.
SWEET & Son, is one of the best farms
in Hampden Corner, Me. In the large
cow barn they have silo Quilt on
level with the foor), SKIS feet base
measure and seventeen feet high, filled
to about two-thirds its capacity with
fine cut corn fodder, which they have
been successfully feeding this winter.
The corn was cut, then carried by
power and dropped into the silo, where
it was levelled and trodden like hay in
NOW. No weights were used. 1t Is
now carried in baskets to the cribs and
the grain rations are scattered over it.
Two quarts of grain fed in that way
are as good as three fed alone. 1t Is
needless to say that Mr.. SWEET intends
to fl his silo another season.
A tank is placed on the upper floor
of the stable, so that water may be
carried to the barns. The water is
supplied by windmill. There are
two of these on the farm, one near the
buildings and one in the pasture.
In front of the cattle, running the
whole length of the crib, is covered
trough, SlA inches edCu way, duu 41uou
with zinz. A little hot water put into
the tank tempers the drink for the
animals. 1t is carried by pipes to the
trough. The stable, also, is very con-
venient and fitted for four horses.
The farm workshop is well stocked
with woodworking tools, and has an
anvil and forge. Cold and rainy days
are spent here pleasantly and profit
ably.
Mr. SWEET sets the tires as we'll as
rims the wheels, and has invented a
simple but effective device for that
work. Other inventions of his are a
drill, a punch and machine to cut
iron pipe.
Commencing in the milk business
twenty-six years ago, Mr.. SWEET drove
the cart himself for seven years, miss
ing only three trips during that time.
Twenty-four years ago he bought this
farm of 100 acres, pleasantly situated
at Hampden Corner, six miles from
Bangor. The large convenient build
ings are kept in thorough repair

FArTENING PIGS ON WHEAT.

Where maize can be grown to per-
lection it will probably continue to be
one of the chief food materials for
fattening swine, but in colder climates
other foods must be grown for this
purpose. H. T. French, of the Ore
gon Station, has continued the expert
ments of feeding wheat to pigs, and
the results are especially interesting
to farmers, who find the market price
of wheat about the same as that of
corn. In the rate of grain produced,
the results compare faVorabiy with
those obtained from feeding corn.
Chopped wheat proved to be better
than chopped oats, and there was 49,
pounds of gain for each bushel of
wheat consumed. The quality of the
meat was all that could be desired in
fat pork. There was good thickness
of fat, and, at the same time, good
distribution of lean meat. The pigs
were eleven months old when slaugh-
tered. The pigs were not in pasture
at any time, but were in pens connect
ed with small yards. They were fed
twice each day, at eight in the morn
ing, and at five in the evening. Each
ration was weighed out, and allowed
to soak until the time for the next
feed. A handful of salt was added to
each feeding, and charcoal was given
to them twice week. The breed was

Paper Currency of All Nations.

Josef Zuckerman, manager of the

way to the Antwerp exhibition, where
he will exhibit a unique collection of
the paper currency of all nations.
His collection includes almost every
denomination of each of the South
American Republics, as we'll as of the
Central American States and Mexico.
The face value of the notes which he
has in his strong box is something
over 1000. 900, but great as the fig
ures seem the actual cash negotiable
value of all this money is trife more
than $4,000 in United States cur

A special feature of the exhibit will
be one group of Confederate money

it is quite common for an exploring or
picnic party to trade off kettles, fry

quired becomes practically the COM
mon property of the tribe, on the
general understanding. however, that
whoever borrows it shall pay for its
use by leaving in it a portion of the
food cooked. AS the Indians seldom
waste any time in Washing or cleaning
eating or cooking vessels, this prac-
tice has some conYenicnccs from

The VirOt Bow.

TIE VirOt bow, either made of wide
ribbon or bias silk, is always placed
against the back of the hat, with the
Jet or rhine stone buckle that confines
1t resting its edge on the hair. 1t re-
quires an almost inimitnble dizziness
and surety of touch to make this
Frenchy little bow. The fashionable
ribbon is watered. 1t requires about
a yard to make q stylish Virot bow.
The ends of the ribbon should be
sewed together into four loops, two on
either side; the upper ones should be
a trifie longer than the lower ones. To
tie these together the loops are held
firmly in the fingers and the left ones
are turned over the right ones, form
ing knot in the center, which is
either fastened with buckle or with
ornamental stick pins. A frontal
bunch of flowers or low buckle OF
rhine stones is usually SO placed in
front of the hat as to preserve the ar
tistic balance when the Virot bow
spreads it's silken sails at the back. BY
the way, this pointed effect of the loops
is acquired by drawing the lower edge
of each loop tighter than the upper. -
