How aud Why 1t Rains.

Rain Is an accumulation of the tiny
particles of tae vapor of the atmos.
phere into drops. These drops, first
small of size, attract Others of their
kind and become drops of such mag.
nitude that they fall to the earth be-
cause OF their weight. There Is a limit
to the quantity of water which the air
is capable of absorbing aud retaining
as invisible vapor. Warm mir is ablC
to hold more than cold air. Hence,
when the air which Is saturated with
moisture becomes cold Tor any reason
whatever, it can no longer retain it.

APPLES FROM YOUNG TREES.

The first apples which young trees
bear are apt to be large AMI showy,
but they do not keep so we'll as fruit
from older trees. This is partly be.
cause the first crop is usually light
one. But there is greater firmuess to
the wood of old trees, and if they have
a good supply of mineral fertilizer
they will bear n large crop that will
be large enough for market and keep
better than the overgrown specimens
which the trees produce their first
year of bearing. Boston Cultivator.

S,ITLAy IN WINTER.

There is no reason why one cannot
raise smilGx in q window, and have it
as nice as that grown in greenhouse,
il one is willing to give it the atten-
tion and care it needs. A plant can be
bought of florist at any time, and
here are some plain directions from
Vick's Monthly Magazine concerning
its care:
It is plant that requires a great
deal of water in the growing season. 1t
also needs its foliage sprinkled often.
1t is a prey to the red spider if neg
lected, and the spraying frees them
from the pest, as we'll as keeps the
foliage in healthy condition. If pos
siGle, place the box or pot where it
need not be disturbed all winter. By
doing this strings may be placed for
each vine to cling to. They do much
better and also are in better shape for
emitting. Florists always train them
upright on strings.
Toward spring the vines begin to
blossom. The flowers are so small
that one has TO search for them, but
the odor is often apparent before the
blossom is seen. The flowers are near
ly white, and the fragrance reminds
one somewhat of mignonette. After
the blossoms a small berry, or seed
ball, forms, and when this is ripe the
vine gradually dies down and takes a
season of rest. When the foliage be.
gins to turn yellow, do not water the
plant much, but let it die down grad.
ually. The bulbs can be lett in the
earth or taken out and stored away till
July or August, then repot them in
rich soil, and they will be ready for
another seasons growth. The seeds
may be planted, as they grow quite
readily, and the best season for grow
ing is from December to February.

A gentleman OF amethodical habit,
who had adopted the practice OF re-

Issued by his family physician,
became Interested as time went on to
note that the same ingredients were
pretty certain TO be prescribed at
some point OF the treatment OF every

troubles which beset the aged grard-
parents, the favorite remedy was
always turning up, although slightly
modified from time 20 time and used
often in conjunction with others.
One day our friend happened to OBJ
serve that the formula OF n certain
advertised remedy was identical
with the latest prescription he had
received from his own physician,
and in some surprise he stated the
case 10 him. The family doctor,
afier listening to what he had TO say,
replied: "The case is about this

IS FULL FEEDING FxHAusrryE2

Some have an idea that what sensi-
bic men call full feeding, exhausts
the vitality and energy of the COW,
causing her to wear ont sooner than
she would on short diet. Possibly
a COW may be overfed, but it will be
difficult to make her eat more than
she needs if fed regularly. A starved
COW might gorge herself to her injury,
but if fed regularly, on a ration prop.
erly balanced, she will not injure her
self by oyereating. As to exhaustion,
1t strikes me that she will hold out
much longer if well fed. A man on
half rations breaks down much sooner
than one on full duet. The same is
true Of work animal, or of a milch
COW. There is nothing gained but
much lost by a starvation diet. But
suppose full feeding does shorten the
term of productiveness, is there not
more profit in large yield for few
years than in a small yield for double
the time? The small yield does not
pay for the cost of production, aud
prolonging it only increases the loss.
il used TO bo thought that the way TO
get profit from pigs was to feed them
on short rations twelve months or
more, and then fetton them, but men
have learned better. In Holland no
farmer keeps pigs longer than eight
or nine monthe. Better feed them
well all the time and 10 longer than
necessary, TO get good proits. Make
them weigh almost rs much ut eight
