Green Bone rs an Egg Producer.

1bOuC - ESS EouuCcE.
Fresh cut green bone as an egg pro-
ducer is attracting deserved attention
from all our progressive poultry grow
ers In addition to producing a large
increase in eggs, it is thought to stim-
ulate and iuvigorate the fowls during
the molting period. Broiler raisers
say that chickens mature much earlier
when fed literally with cut bone. The
phosphate of lime, the nitrogenous ele-
ments, the rich juices SO abundant in a
soluble and easily digested form. which
are almost wholly lacking in dry bone
or scrap, may perhaps account for such
results To derive the greatest benefit
it is essential that the food be fresh and
sweet. In order to insure this, a bone
cutter is a necessity. and where large
focks are kept good one will soon
pay for itself in eggs alone.

Native Plums" by Prof. j. L. Budd, the
great advances made in the culture
and improvement Of our native plums
were described. Some of the best var
ieties for general culture are Wyant,
Wolf, De Soto, Hawkeye, Cheney,
Keith, Forest Rose, Milton, Maquo-
keta. It is found that they find quick
sale on the markets in competition
with the best European and Japan
varieties. Such choice natives - those
mentioned have been the outgrowth
and selection from the plum thickets
in q few years, and they form q grand
foundation for future improvement.
Already some fine hybrids with Euro
pean and Japan varieties have been
originated by Luther Burbank of Cali
fornia and at the Iowa agricultural
college.
Horticulture in the Public Schools
was discussed by Prof. N. E. Hansen
of Ames, who has travelled extensively
in Europe studying horticulture. In
Europe, and especially in Germany
the subject is taught in the
public schools. A garden and nursery
of fruit trees and plants is connected
with every country school house, in
which the pupils are taught the ele-
mentary operations Of horticulture,
such as budding, grating, pruning,
transplanting and seed sowing. There
is great need in America of more gen.
eral dissemination of knowledge con-
cerning the culture of fruit trees and
plants. A beginning could be made in
this country by introducing such read
ing matter into the courses of supple
mentary reading. Later the school
grounds could be planted with suitable
trees and plants.

Elephant and Rat.

That rat should put an elephant to
wild and ignominiOus flight seems more
absurd even than that a mouse should
ter1.ify woman: but there may he
cases. as 4 recent occurrence at San
Francisco seems to prove. in which a
rat las an elephant at a decided advan-
tase.
An elephant named jess. belonging
to a menagerie which was recently at
San Francisco. is we'll known rs one Of
the most dOcile elephants in America.
She is very large. but has always been
as gentle and manageable as was the
great Jumbo himself. the king of cle-
plants, who was never SO happy as
when carrying children Oh his back.
This being her disposition. Jess keep
ers were greatly astOIished one morn
ing 10 see her break her chains. rush
matlly about. upset cages and every
thing that came in her way. escape
into the streets. and apparently engage
in a mad pursuit Of people there.
Though Jess appeared to have be
come suddenly crazy. her keepers pur-
sued her as best they could. and pres
entity found that she really wanted 10
see them. Then they perceived that
she was not the victim of rage, but of
terror.
iier chief attendant. approaching
very near, saw some small thing pro
jecting from the extremity of her trIlk.
He seized it and pulled it out. and then
very quickly threw it away. 1t was a
live rat.
This animal had somehow crept into
Jess trunk. and the elephan had been
unable to get it out. As soon rs she
was relieved of the rat. she made every
sign of gratitude to her keeper. and
permitted herself to be led back to
her place in the menagerie.

Using Locomotives to Lay Pipes.
A great engineering scheme made a
start toward success here to-day. The
plan is to lay an S-inch iron pipe under
the Detroit river to bring natural gas
from Canada to this city. On the
American siie at trcrch runnig
down to the river.
This was lined with wooden trough
fabricated with soft soap. In the
trough lay the main. At the river end
of the main was conical plug design
ed to keep the water out and serve
as Il sort of phwshare for turning
aside the soft mud of the river bottom
for the main as it IS hauled across.
Attached to the end of the cone was
the great steel cable which had been
strung across the bottom of the river.
On the opposite side Of the river was
huge snatch block. through which ran
the other end of the cable. and was
then attached to three locomotives.
BY means of tug whistles the sig
nal for the locomotive es tc start was
made. 1t took but Il moment to hide
400 feet of it in the river. This after
noon n second section of 800 feet was
attached and the engines again start
ed. but they had not gone far before
they stuck.
Another one was then brought into
play. and the four moved along nicely.
The weight of the pipe will be 10 tons
or about twice the weight of the aver

fishermen who like to add aquatic
sport to catching fish over here, this is

salmon rod in hand, and dropped his
bait in the water.
The hook was taken by an expert
swimmer, who attached himself to the
line by means of belt. Then followed
an exciting contest. The fisherman
played his fish and had n difficult task
to accomplish. The line was stout and
the swimmer could not break il, al
though he OF foul of several obsta-
