The Origin of Earrings.

1t is a strange tradition among the
Arabians that earrings came into use
in the following way: When Pharaoh
summoned Abraham and reprOached
him for his untruth On saying that
Sarah was his sister,, Abraham prayed
for the King, and Allah healed the
King, who now gave Abraham many
rich presents, and among others an
Egyptian slave named Hagar. She
bore him a son, whom he called Ish-
mael But Sarah was barren, and
the more jealous since the light Of
Mohammed shone on lshmael'S fore
head, she demanded Abraham to put
away Hagar and her son. He was
undecided until commanded by Allah
to obey Sarah in ali things. Yet he
antreated her not TO cast of her
bondmaid and her son. But this so
exasperated her that she declared she
would not rest until her hands had
been imbrued in Hagar's blood. Then
Abraham pierced Hagar's ear quickly
and drew a ring through it, so that
Sarah was able to dip her hands in
the blood Of Hagar without bringing
the latter into danger. From that
time it became the custom among
women to wear earrings. New Haven

IRRIGATION AND TREE CULTURE.

The necessity for tree culture is
equally imperative with irrigation,
and the arid lands question will never
be satisfactorily settled without the
recognition of this principle in its
solution. America can i'll afford to
ignore the experience of other Nations
in this respect, and forestry should
receive equal cons deration with irri-
cation.
1t has been estimated that within
historic times some seven millions Of
square miles along the shores of the
Mediterranean, once highly fertile,
have been changed into worthless
deserts, and for nearly two thousand
years the inhabitable portion of the
earth has decreased at the average
rate of $500 square miles. This has
been produced by the direct agency of
man, the evil being chiefly due to
river floods caused almost exclusively
by the destruction of land protecting
forests.
1t is right that America should set
the example of reclaiming desert
lands, and thus increase the earth S
capacity for supporting the human
race. Irrigation and tree culture
must go hand and hand in this work.

ESSENTIALS IN STRAWBERRY GROWING,

Professor Lazenby, before the Co
lumbus Horticulture Society gave the
following summary of essential points
to be kept in mind:
The most profitable varieties for the
commercial grower are those not cas-
lily Influenced by differences in soil
and climate. Those which succeed
well on wide areas are usually better
than those which have q more local
reputation.
Pistillate varieties, when properly
fertilized, are more productive than
the sorts with perfect flowers.
The value of a variety for fertiliz-
ing pistillate flowers does not depend
SO much upon the amount as upon the
potency of its pollen.
The flowers of pistillate varieties are
less liable to DC injured by frost than
the flowers of perfect varieties.
Varieties that are neither very early
nor very late in point OF maturity, are
the most productive and have the
longest fruiting season.
As rule, varieties that have the
most vigorous and healthy foliage are
the least productive, while those with
a weaker growth of foliage and a
greater susceptibility to leaf blight
are usually the more prolific.
Winter protection may be dispensed
with upon well drained soils, but APP
pears to be necessity upon heavier
ones.
The leaf blight may be checked by
using the Bordeaux mixture, beginning
just as soon as the leaves appear, and
continuing the application every few
weeks throughout the season. Co

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

Fatten your sheep before selling.
Turkeys fret if confined to coop.
It will never pay to feed poor cows.
Have the colts thoroughly broken to
harness when young.
Give the young pigs all the skim
milk they will drink.
Cleanliness is as necessary to the
sheep as food and shelter.
The less water there is in butter the
fewer odors it will absorb.
Quality rather than quantity should
be the motto of all breeders.
Marrow door and gate ways are
frequent causes OF capped hips.
Milk set to cool where smells exist
absorb such odors very readily.
A small flock of sheep, well cared
for, is source of continual profit.
Clean stables will add much to the
health and comfort of your horses.
The usual time for weaving is when
the foals are four or five months old.
Too much corn is the source of many
of the disorders to which hogs are sub
ject.
It is said that worms cause more
deaths among sheep than any other
disease.
II dried fruit be run through q fan
ming mill before sacking it will come
out free from dust and all foreign sub
stances.
The winter dairy brings in an in
come at the time when the farmer is
receiving very little from any other
source.
Beets are On excellent addition to
the dry food for sheep during the win
ter. They should be run through
root-cutter and n quart given to each
sheep night and morning.
Don't be too hasty about changing
from one kind of stock to another.
The breeder who sticks to one kind all
the time, trying to improve 1t, IS apt
to come out right in the end.
A little wheat chaff scattered on the
floor of the poultry-house will keep 1t
drv and warm, besides forming an eX-
cellent litter for the poultry to scratch
in for the grain which should be scat
tered about daily.
The French farmer has learned that
raising sugar beets increases the yield
of the land. The process is an indi-
rect one. The refuse from the beet
roots enables him to keep more stock
and their manure improves the soil.
Food will not make hens lay if they
are kept in a cold poultry The
hens must be protected from the cold
air when they are on their roosts at
night, if you would avoid swollen
heads, frosted combs and sore eyes. -

1t is just as necessary to give proper
development of bone in the hog as in
the horse. When the hog is being

as will build bone before the fattening

FRUIT GROWING FOR PROFIT.

The best land for fruit growing is a
loan with some gravel in it, but good
drainage is indispensable for success.
Plums and pears will do better on
heavier soils than other fruits. There
is no doubt of the profit of either of
these two fruits, but both are difficult
of culture, and skill and extreme care
are necessary to succeed. Both are
liable to diseases and attacks of in uri-
Gus enemies that must be most care
fully guarded against. Then either
fruit may pay several times as much
profit as any other common kinds. The
spring is the best time to plant these
fruits, but apples may be planted in
the fall quite as we'll as in the spring.
In choosing varieties it is well to con-
suit the nurserymen from whom the
trees are purchased, as they will know
the best kinds for the locality and
soil. Otherwise any experienced fruit
grower of the neighborhood may be
consulted. AS n rule, it is best to
procure the trees from the nearest
nursery, and thus avoid the risks of
delay i'll transportation Pears are
set twenty feet apart, ana plums need
about the same space. 1t has been
found profitable to set out dwarf pears
between the rows of the standard trees.
as they will begin to bear the third
year, and by the time the others be
gin to bear they will have repaid all
the cost of planting, and, under
favorable circumstances, a respecta-
BILE profit. When the planter has the
experience and skill needed, there is
no more profitable agricultural enter
prise than fruit growing. New York

How to Run Long Distances Easily.

Psychologists and lovers of athletics
NAV be interested in recent expert
ments and researches of a French ar
tillery captain, NJ. de Raoul, who,
some fifteen years ago, began to try
and find out the most economical and
least trying way of walking. There
are many manners of walking, some of
which are much devoid of grace 1.-THE
average Englishwoman's is very
good example), but it may be sup
posed that as far as efficiency is con-
carned one must be better than the
others. NJ de Raoul has come to the
conclusion that, as far as fast walking
4 concerned, the best method Is that
which he calls marche entiexIOn. The
principle is to run without leaping, to
raise the body above the ground as
little as possible, to keep the knees
bent, the upper part OF the body IN
clined forward, so that practically you
are always running after your centre
of gravity. The feet must be raised
only very slightly. M. de Raoul, who
has now some years of experience,
says that he can take any man between
twenty and sixty and teach him to run
as long as his legs can carry him with
out getting out of breath. Some men
can, on the very first trial of the
method, run seven or eight miles with
out stopping, while, with the ordinary
tactics, they could not have run over
one mile. The first kilcmoter IA kilo-
meter is fve-eighths of a mile) is
usually covered in seven minutes and
quarter, the second in six minutes,
and the third in five minutes and forty
five seconds. An interesting feature
of NJ. de Raoul's researches is that
even after a long run, according to
his method, a stiff walk is no trouble
at all; the muscles which work in both
cases do not belong to the same set,
and while one exercise is performed
the muscles which minister to the
other rest. Popular Science News.

HIGHEST PROFITS IN HIGHEST FEEDING

HIGHEST PROFITS IN HIGHEST FEEDING.
Ten cows were fed ration begin
ming with eight pounds of grain and
twelve pounds of hay, and gradually
increasing up to as high Gs nineteen
pounds of grain and twenty-seven
pounds of hay per day and head, and
then gradually decreasing to the or
iginal amount. Throughout this test
at the Pennsylvania Experiment Sta
ton accurate notes were taken Of the
amount and cost of the food, the
amount of milk produced by each
animal and its butter value as determ-
ined by t he Babcock test.
Perhaps the most striking lesson is
the demonstration given of the profit
there is in liberal feeding. The cheap
est ration used cost 1875 cents per day
and produced butter valued at 26.5
cents, making a net profit Of TT cents
per day per COW. An increase of %
cents per day per COW in the cost of
this ration made the daily value of the
butter 81 cents, and the net profit 9.3
cents per day, or a difference of 1.6
cents per day per COW III favor of the
more COSTLY 1dGlOH' III OCIICA "OAN'0,
the farmer who attempted to econo-
mize by feeding the cheaper ration,
would, with herd of twenty-five
COWS, save $2l7 per year on his feed
bills, but would lose 1897 worth of
butter that he might have produced
with the more costly ration, so that
his 1ll-judged attempt ut economy
would result III net loss of $l2O.
The cheaper ration, moreover, IS
what would ordinarily be considered
good ration, and the majority Of dairy
men would be likely to feelless, rather
than more, yet the results show con-
clusively that with such cows as these
the more expensive ration was really
the more economical.
A further increase of the cost of the
ration, however, to %. l cent per day
gave no further increase in the butter
product, and the net profit was thereby
cut down to 4. 9 cent per day, or Is
cent less than with the cheapest ration
of the three. In other words, the ex-
periments Indicate that there is certain
medium ration for each COW which will
give the greatest net profit, and that
any attempt to economic by feeding
less than this will result in loss,
while, on the other hand, it is possible
to feed q COW too much as well as too
little. Generally, however, there is
much more danger OF feeding too lit
tie than too much. New EnGlan '

They will begin to start almost i'm
mediately, and young orchard Of
trees or shrubs will soon prove great
blessing. Not only fruit bearing trees
will succeed in this way, but nearly
all shade trees. 1t is probably the
easiest way of starting young trees
that can be devised.
Ounce orchards should be started
every few years if good crop is ex-
pected annually, and there is no easier,
quicker and surer way than selecting
the cuttings in the winter months,

starting them out early in the spring.
Meanwhile, the land on which they
