FACTS FOR FARMERS.

A GREAT deal Of country butter is
overworked.
SALT is great preventive of disease
among sheep.
BUTTER should be worked as little
as possible to have the milk worked
out of it.
GIVE the SOW succulent food and
keep her in thrifty condition if you
would have her produce thrifty pigs.
STUDY the prejudices of your market
and supply brown and white eggs and
white or yellow skinned fowls, as re-
quired.
AT the Geneva station experiments
are being carried on with over one
thousand different varieties of berries
and small fruits.
THE French are conducting q series
of experiments in grating" potatoes.
1t is expected to increase the yield and
to hasten maturity.
THE breeding stock must be healthy
and vigorous or the egg will be lack
ing in vitality, and the chicks will be
weak and debilitateG.
THE COW in France for the dairy in
dustry is not the Jersey but the Dur
ham, whose beef tendencies are being
reduced in favorof the milk tendency.

The important question for Cana
dian farmers, and concerning which 1
was consulted by the editor of the
Farmers Advocate, was, of course.
whether there was any danger of in
Producing into Canada any new pests
which would afterwards give trouble
either in the field or in the granary.
In my opinion. Canadian farmers need
have no anxiety on this score: for
both of the pests have already from
time to time been imported from the
south with various kinds of grain, but
have failed to propagate and become
established. This is due to the fact
that they are tropical insects, which,
although they are very injurious in
the southern states. cannot exist for
any length of time in our climate.
The granary weevils are small
brown beetles. little more than one
eighth of an inch in length, which lay
their egg, in holes which they bore
by means of a slender beak in the dry
grain. When young grubs hatch, they
complete their growth and turn to
beetles again inside the grain where
the egg was laid. By this time they
have eaten out all the interior of the
kernel The beetles then emerge and
continue the work of destruction.
When grain is kept in store for long
time, this in jury may be considerable
in hot climates; but in Canada the
cold of our winters stops their devel-
opment and destroys the beetles.
The fly weeviP has never developed
in Canada even to the same extent as
the true weevils, although occasional
instances of it's occurrences have been
brought to my notice. In the south
ern states, where it is very abundant,
the moths fly from the granaries and
lay their eggs upon the ripe grain in
the fields; the eggs of young caterpil-
lars are thus carried back again into
the Sranary, dEO frequently are lno
cause of much loss. This never takes
place in Canada.
Remedy: Should grain at any time
be found to be infested by these in
sects, often repeated experiment has
shown that the insects can be easily
and cheaply destroyed by treating it
with bisulphide or carbon, in the
same way that peas are now regularly
treated to free them from the pes

LOSS OF MEMORY.
The Strange Case of a Man Who Didn
Know Himself.

The Strange Case of a Man Who Didn't
Know Himself.
The most curious incidents connected
with memory are, of course, its entire
lapse, and such cases are not by any
means SO infrequent as is generally
supposed. 1t is startling enough. no
doubt. to hear fellow-creature asking
another fellow-creature to tell him who
he is, but such things have actually
happened. Indeed, it was only last year
that case of the kind was engaging
the attention of Melbourne physicians.
A young man, about thirty years of
age, called at the police barracks and
demanded to be informed as to his own
identity. At first it was thought that
the man was a lunatic, but it soon be-
came evident that his statement as to
his memory having failed him was per
fectIy genuine. He was taken into GUS
tody and kept in Melbourne Jail, where
he was the object of much attention
and curiosity on the part of physicians
and warders.
He persisted in the declaration that
he did not remember anything before
the day on which he visited the police
barracks. and several medical men eX-
pressed their belief in his statement,
attributing his lack of memory to
masked epilepsy. Curiously enough,
the man ultimately recovered his
.'senses" through the music OF the Jail
Sunday service. One morning he was
observed listening intently to the sing
ing. He was questioned about it, and
said: Il seem to have heard that be-
fore somewhere. What is it?" He did
not understand when told it was
music. but at the close of the service
DIR. Shields took him up to the organ,
and. having shown him that the sounds
he had heard were produced by finger
ing the keys, seated him in front OF the
instrument.
The man struck several notes unin-
telligibly and then q chord or two in
harmony, and in an instant, with q
look of pleasure, he commenced a
selection from 1.-The Creation" which
he played correctly and well He used
the stops, and showed that he was
familiar with the instrument, and in
this way. as already indicated, he
gradually recovered his memory

feather EATING.
Causes of the Pernicious Habit and How
1t May Be Agolded.


1t May Be Avoided.
Want of occupation is one of the
chief causes of hens learning to eat
feathers. For want of something to
do they peck at the feathers on one
another, and soon develop taste for
them If the practice is not soon
stopped it will become contagious;
and will continue until the weather is
fine enough for the birds to 60 out
side. The best method Of prevention
is to give the fowls plenty of occupa-
ton. If the aoor Of the fowlhouse is
of earth It should be dug over and
made fine. and the food fed scattered
over it. This will give the birds some
work to do to obtain all the grain and
food, and in scratching over the
ground searching for it they will get
plenty of exercise.
Where the floor is of cement or other
solid material, straw scattered over it
will give the poultry plenty of work to
scratch in it to find their food. Plenty
of vegetable food should also be given.
If ca bbages can be spared, one should
be hung up in the house for the birds
to pick at. Where these are not forth
coming. turnips, mangels or clover
hay, cut fine, will do very we'll. Meat
scraps are also good. and little salt
mixed in the food will be found advan-
tageous.
Close confinement and overcrowding
are other causes thatA conduce to
feather eating. The former cannot al
ways be avoided in a protracted and
severe winter. Still. there are gen.
orally some days when the poultry can
be turned out for a run. even during
a severe winter, for an hour or two.
Overcrowding, however, can be avoid
ed. 1t is better when dividing the
flock to keep the pullets separate
from the older hens. When thus di-
vided, if these latter have acquired
any bad habits. the younger birds will
not have the opportunity to learn
them from them. which they prob
ably you'd if they were running to-
gether.
When once an old bird has learned
to eat feathers it is almost hopeless to
attempt a cure, and the best method
of proceeding is to terminate her ex-
istence. Every possible precaution,
therefore, should be taken to prevent
birds acquiring the habit The habit
may be acquired among fowls confined
in summer time as we'll as in winter if
they are not kept busy and provided
with plenty of exercise and green
food.-N. Y. World.

NOVEL CONTINUANCE.

A Nest That Prevents Hens from Eating
Their Eggs.
A novel contrivance, sent to Farm
and Fireside. by Mr.. G. L. Bateman, of
California, for preventing hens from
eating their eggs. is given in our illus
tration. Take a soap box. remove the
top and place the box on a board, or
leave it with the bottom on. Cut away
one-half of the front, or an opening
large enough to permit of placing a
small basket or pan of sawdust in
the box. Now tack flour sack over
the box, and let it sag. Cut hole in
the top of the sack. Close the front
of the box with board. The hen will
go on the sack to lay, and the egg will
roll down and into the hole, and con-
tinue until it falls into the pan of saw

How to Gee Wheat for Feed.

The present high prices for feed
stuffs and low price Of wheat make it
desirable to know how to use wheat
properly for feed The very best re-
suits have been obtained by mixing
IS per cent. wheat, Is per cent corn.
10 per cent. barley and 10 per cent oats
This should be ground together. Of
course. this can be varied somewhat,
according to the supply. though care
should be used that there is not too
much wheat used

Combs Made in FACTORIES.

One of the most remarkable inven-
lions of modern times in connection
with Bookkeeping has just been accom-
plished in the manufacture of artificial
combs by German, Herr Otto Schultz,
of Buckow. The only observable diff
ference between it and the natural
comb is that the cell walls are thicker
and the cells have not the upward
curve SO often noticeable in natural
comb. That this is not an objection
must be evident from the fact that the
bees take to it as matter of course
and no doubt it will soon be given q
trial in this country.

AGRICULTURAL HINTS.
GRANARY WEEvlIS.

An Interesting Paper From Mr.. Fletcher,
Dominion Entomologist.
James Fletcher, Dominion entomolo-
gist, writes in regard to this pest:
"a good deal of CONSERVATION was
felt lately at the Worlds Columbian
exposition: at Chicago, when it beeame
known that nearly all the exposed
grain, including the ornaments and
decorations in the different courts of
the Agricultural building. was infested
by injurious insects. An order was is
sued by the superintendent of the
agricultural department forbidding
the distribution of any grain from
those courts, even when brought in
from outside for that express purpose.
Being in Chicago at the time, made
careful examination of the agricul-
tural exhibits and found that the in
jury in the Canadian section was due

ing the game which have already been
caught from escaping.
For rabbits this trap is most effect
i've when placed at the end of a tile or
small culvert. but it can be used with
good effect in any path or place where
they run. For quails or other feath-
cred game some corn or other grain
may be scattered around and on it
to serve as bait. Unlike others this
trap must be buried in the ground or
snow. which fact renders it less of an
obstruction to the wary game.-Carl F.

should be taken to have the box deep
enough or it may hinder the game
from passing through easily, and a
small weight must be fastened to the

NEW HATS AND BONNETS.
Shapes and Materials Of the Latest Il
Ladies' Head Covering.

Shapes and Materials of the Latest In
Ladies' Head Covering.
Felt and satin cut in narrow strips
and braided together precisely as sum-
mer straws have been plated are
among the autumn hats and bonnets.
The dull felt, frightened by lustrous
satin of the same shade, produces an
excellent effect in tobacco brown,
black, ruby and other wintry colors.
Plain smooth felt and glossy beaver re-
main in favor for hats for general
wear, while for more elaborate dress
are those of mirror velvet and satin.
AS usual, jet bonnets are offered for
the demi-season, and promise to be less
eccentric than those worn at present.
They are mostly small crowns. formed
of jet spangles entirely, or of jet and
steel spangles together, and are greatly
enlarged by trimmings, satin ribbons,
birds, long pins of jet and full
aigrettes.
There is no great change in the shape
of round hats. The newest crowns are
large and slope gradually to a high
round top OF course these require
rather wide brims, which are arched in
front, and are turned up at the back in
two curves close against the crown.
There are also many hats of medium
size somewhat in sailor shape, with
low square crown, but with the stiff
brim projecting in front, and some
times doubled at the edge. This is
considered chic when made of black
glossy beaver, with dull felt facing
inside the brim, the double edge bound
with silk braid-Harper's Bazaar.
