In the opinion of another writer,
woman should cry provided she does so

EVOLUTION ON THE FARM.

Hrhc Possibilities In the Hands of the
Farmer for Improvements Of the vari-
Gus Products.
Farmers have very wide field for
observation ard improvement, in the
stock they feed and in the vegetable
products of their farms. Already
through the exercise Of the wisdom
gathered from observation and expe-
rience, great improvements have been
made by breeders of stock of all kinds.
The horse has been so improved that
by proper care the farmer, the sports
man or the hackman can be supplied.

10 his purposes.

Tho United States Fish Commission Ex-
pscts to Hatch That Many This Summer.
The experts of the United States
lobster hatchery at Woods Holl for the
seasons work that is about to begin.
They expect to produce at least 6,000,-
600 young Holsters this summer. The
eggs will be obtained from roe-bearing
females brought in by fishermen, and
the Matching will be done by the simple
process of placing the eggs in glass jars,
through which stream of water is
kept running all the time.
The young Holsters must have just
the right kind of food, or else they will
die. As diet for them, nothing has
been found equal to the small animals
caught by dragging tow-net of gauze
from boat along the surface water
of the sea. FThe surface water of the
ocean swarms with life, including vast
numbers of crustaceans and tiny mol
lusks. 1t is, in fact, broth. Most of
the animals are composed almost
wholly of water, having scarcely more
than one per cent. of animal tissue. A
single small netful collected in the
Baltic was counted and found to con-
tain $4,000 crustaceans and 10000 other
animals.
If one dips up small dish of sea-
water and places in it some bits of sea-
weed, scrapcd from an old pile or an
cid float, it will be found to contain a
wonderful variety of organisms. On
these organisms these crustaceans of
the surface seawater feed. The crus-
taceans in turn furnish regular diet
to small fishes, which are led on by big
fishes. Thus the struggle for exist
ence in the ocean goes on, and even
more than on land the fate of living
things in general is to eat each other
and be eaten by one another.-N. Y.

corn or sugar cane is dumped, trod-
den down and allowed to settle and
topped up to shed water, and when
settled down the frame is taken apart
and removed, and when needed for use
the mass is cut with hay knife. This
simplifies putting up ensilage for use
on large scale. If the feed is needed
in another pasture it can be carted
there and fed in troughs, or even on
the ground in emergency.-Rural

No branch of farming has paid the
farmer better returns for his labor
than making butter, when the work
was properly done. No part of the
farmers work has been SO wilfully and
shamefully neglected as the butter de-
partment.
AS rule, there is no product Of
the farm as badly made as the average
sorghum sirup, and none SO easily
made properly. When made as it
ought to be made, sorghum sirup is in
every respect equal to that made from

Look for Lice.

out of ten they are the cause. 1 your

your finger in kerosene oil and rub it
on the top of their heads. Tobacco

placed in the bottom of the nest of a

remedy for hce-infested henhouse

hour or more. When whitewashing

Hogs and an other live stock on the
farm have undergone a like. change
suited to their special purposes. Even
the razor-back of some of the southern
states is especially adapted to making
his own living, which seems to satisfy
the wishes of his owner.
Now all this proves the influence of
the thoughtful man over the domestic
animals. ia .ksf ~.
The grains and grasses have IN like
manner yielded to his culture, so that
he has brought wheat out of wild
and neglected grass son the border
of the Mediterranean; and oats and
other grains from the grasses of other
regions. Potatoes, too, we know,
have come from very unpalatable tu-
bers; wild in South America. The to-
mato, in the memory of some farmers
yet living, has been changed from the
supposed poisonous love apple" to It's
presenv prominence, as one of the
most valued and valuable products of
the garden. The cabbage and kales,
and all their numerous relatives, have
been produced from wild, struggling
plant, growing along the sea coasts Of
England and Scotland. -
All of this may be called the civili-
ration of the animal and vegetable
world, and it has kept pace with mans
own civilization. The tiller Of the
soil has brought all these things and
many more in subjection to himself.
Mark Twain has called the 'cauli-
flower" college-bred cabbage. 1t
certainly has a refinement about 1t
that does not belong to its ancestors,
but 1t may well be doubted whether it
received this at college. It would
likely have come from such treatment

general rule But the mere number of

each being more vividly impressed on
the mind, in retrospect we exaggerate
their number, and so make the time
seem longer. While, if we are busily

Of some recent careful experiments
seems to show that for such short in
tervals we have, strictly speaking, no
s.time-sense, but that our estimates de-
pend upon the feelings of tension, Of
delay or of arrest, of ordinary physio-
logical functions, and especially of the
breathing. This was tested in the fol-
lowing way: A persons attention was
directed to a certain interval of time,
varying from six to sixty seconds. He
was then asked to mark off an equal in
terval, beginning at the end of the first.
The average error in so doing was ten
per cent. of the original interval. The
experiment was then arranged so that
the second or closing sound of the
original interval should come at the
same respiratory phase" as the first
or opening sound had done. The error
was then only 2-9 per cent. In second
series of more difficult experiments,
conducted on the same principle, the err
rors were respectively "a per cent. and
5-3 per cent. In third series, where
the attention was purposely withdrawn
from the respiratory and tension feel
ings, the time-judgment was utterly
confused.-Cincinnati Enquirer.
