flying visit Wednesday, to several of

them all well housed and cleanly kept
except in the instance of herd in
North Saco, where he found cows
which. by their owners confession,
had not been out of doors for from
four to eight years, their hoofs having
grown to enormous lengths. The

of both the board of health and the

Winthrop Farm Notes.

At a rough estimate there are 1O,OOl
hens and chickens within Il radius of five
miles of Winthrop village.
One of the most profitable fruit farms
in this part of the State is the Henry
Longfellow farm at Winthrop Center. In
1894 about $500 was realized from the APP
pies raised here. all russcts.
1T is claimed that there is a belt of land
running through Winthrop and Mon
mouth. the soil of which is particularly
adapted TO the growth of the russet APP
pie. which seems to require slightly diff
ferent conditions from those of any other
variety.
A good way to supply hens that are
confined to a yard. with green stuff dur
ing the summer, is to spade up. and plant
a corner of their enclosure with a va
riety OF left over garden seed it doesn't
make much difference to the hens what
it is. so long AS II supplies green food. }
To keep the seeds from being scratched
up, place brush thickly over the planted
space. SO that the plants will come up
through and the hens cannot pick them
off too closely.

King James clinches his argument with

THE CARD FlNlSHER.
She Must BE Quick Of Eye and Rapid with
Her Fingers.

There are only three playing card faci o.
ries in New York, and they supply alinc st
tho entire demand for playing cards in ,lis
country. Less than 1000 women arc en-
gagged in the industry, and yet the hight s.
wages any cf them gets is 81 aweek Miss
| Minnie Rose is one of these. She is an ez-
| pert :" "tinisher.
| Finishing" says Miss Rose, require
great deal Of experience. You have 80
| have very quick eyes. You must be al le
| to detect the very slightest imperfection in
| the design on the back of card Gam
blers only use deck of cards once, and II
| there were the slightest difference in the
backs Of any two cards they might be &c
| cused of cheating A finisher must exam
| inc about 10000 cards every day. If she
, let's one ever so slightly imperfect slip
| through, she's likely to lose her job The
other day in our shop woman who had
| worked there for ten years was discharged
for letting one card go through. No one
|. but gambler or a cardmaker could have
detected the flaw. The boss said he'd have
excused her II she had been q new hand,
but an old hand ought to know better
The advantage of cardmaking is that it
is not season work. "In most trades, !"
says the cardmaker, "you have lot of
work for IA few months and then nothing
ut all until the season begins again. OF
course you have your idlo time to do some-
thing, but I'd rather work at some
thing that is steady. At cardmaking you
work right along all tho year round. You
hardly ever have more than two weeks off
OF course it is fearfully monotonous and
it's tiresome. But most of the girls seem
10 like it, It's clean work and it's steady,
and the pay is very good. There are wo-
men in our factory who have worked there
steadily for IS years. New York Jour

HOW INSECTS BREATHE.
The Intricate Mechanism which Supplies
the Mites with Air.

The Intricate Mechanism which Supplies
tho Mites with Air.
Take any moderately large insect and
examine IL closely. You will observe,
even with the naked eye, that the body,
is pierced with number OF holes, usual
ly from IS TO 20 in number. These mi-
mute openings are the apertures through
which air Is admitted to the system,
and they are generally SO wonderfully
perfect that no extraneous matter Of
any kind can possibly effect an en-
trance. Sometimes these holes are fur
nished with delicate pair OF horny
clasps, which can be opened and closed
at the will of the insect. In other cases
this class is far more numerous
they are densely fringed with stiff, i'm
terlacing bristles, which form filter
that admits nothing but air. This
bristle filter is so perfectly, yet so deli
cately, made that II has been found
absolutely impossible to force even
such subtle fluid as spirits OF vino
through II. These apcrtures or "breath-
ing holes" communicate with two largo
tubes, which extend along the entire
body of the insect, furnishing fresh air
to the whole system. Besides these
two main tubes there are innumerablc
delicate branches which run In all de
rections through the insects body, COM
tinually dividing and subdividing until
a wonderful network Is the result. This
mechanism allows air to penetrate into
every fiber of the insects anatomy. even
into the nerve Innings OF the gauzy,
wings providing IL has wings-and
into the feet and antennae.--St. Louis
Republic.

great difiiculty In picking up n whis-
Ting buoy In a fog.
Another test, showing the merits OF
the eophone in striking way. was
made by blindfolding the observer AMI
then chasing another vessel by sounds
Of it's whistle, the vessel pursued
doubling and twisting In every possible
way. No difficulty whatever was found
in following the vessel under such cir
cumstances. Spar buoys can be picked
up from the echo OF the boats whistle.
A vessel running close to land would
get the echo from her own whistle In
case there were hills or tall houses.
On dark nights the ripple OF oars or
the slight noise of torpedo boat
would be accurately located by the
cophone. so that il Is as important from
military point OF view as IL Is neces-
sary In ordinary navigation. The
eophone Is probably one of the greatest
inventions of the day. as it is destined
to become as much part OF ships
equipment rs the compass. The larger
vessels will have two, and just as now
there are distinctive lights on shore
there will be distinctive whistles, so

.cisms Of some OF the greatest physicists
OF Europe. The eophone can be placed
