Grain for HrsodInr Euss.

In answer to the question if it pays
tefeed grain to breeding ewes Mr..
Craig, of Wisconsin, says that it does
and relates the experience of two
breeders in the matter. One had a
flock of 150 ewes. He stinted them,
giving them no grain whatever A
carload OF oats was shipped from his
farm because he considered them
too good for sheep. From these 15O
ewes only Is lambs were raised last
year. That is all extreme case, but
1t shows in strong light the rela-
tion of grain feeding to profitable
lamb raising. Another breeder in
the neig'hborhocd had AZ breeding
ewes and from these he succeeded in
rearing 81 lusty lambs. His ewes
were well fed and received grain.
You will find that ewes fed little
grain will give you a heavy clip of
sound wool and lusty lambs. II the
ewes 60 into winter quarters in good
condition in the fall do not give
them any grain until few months
before lamblng. Voice..

Here is an actual conversation which
occurred in Philadelphia restaurant
between an American and an English
man, both of full age; and one a voter:
American: How long have you
been in this country?"
Englishman: About two years and
half"
Am: How far from London did
you livep"
Eng: Right in London; that is
they call it London. Old London was
surrounded by wall and was no big
ger than Philadelphia. The wall was
built by the Romans when they occu-
pied that part of England
Am: lis that SO? How long ago
YVES that?"
Eng. "Oh, about 800 years or so,
in the time of William the Con-
queror. :"
Am: Il didn't know the Romans
ever lived in England. Was that wall
all around the city?
Eng: "Yes, with several gates in
it, which were shut at night. "
Am. What was that about? Wasn't
there king named George III, who
tried to conquer America and didn't
succeed? That was at the time of the
revolution. They had trouble, the
English and Americans, up to 1912 or
1914
Eng: Yes, | believe there was
something of that kind. ~
Am: '1sn't London on a river?"
Eng: "Yes. on the Thames. Some

ANTS THE GUESTS OF PLANT .

Shelter and Food.

The Latter Furnish the Former with
Shelter and Food.
All insects producing nectar may be
regarded, as a whole, as ambulatory
nectaries. They are more powerful
causes of attraction to ants than the
extrafloral hectares, says Popular Sci
ence Monthly. Scattering themselves
nearly all over the surface of the plant,
they determine the coming and going
of the ants, which indirectly protect
the whole plant. Yet the damage done
by the "ambulatory nectsries," which
extract the nutritive juices from the
plants and cause deformities in their
organs, can hardly be said to be COM
pensated by the incidental and uncer-
tain protection which the ants may af-
ford them in other respects. The ants
which are really protective to plants
are not those which obtain their food
Indirectly for the most part through
the aphides) from the vegetable king
dom, but those which are really car
nivorous. These are numerous in tenn
perate climates and their usefulness to
agriculture and sylviculture is incon-
testable. Thus the field ant is a great
insect destroyer. A nest of this species
is capable Of destroying as many as
twenty-eight caterpillars and grasshop-
pers minute, or 1000 per hour; and
such colony is at work day and night
during the pleasant season. In the arid
plains of America the beneficent work
of ants is revealed in the isles of ver-
dure around their hills. There arc
plants hospitable to ants, which fur
nsh them shelter, and often food, with
in the cavities of which the instincts
of the ants prompt them to take their
abode. This is the case with several
ferns, among them the polypodium nec-
tariferum, the sterile fronds of which
bear nectaries on their lower face and
are, moreover, of a shape favorable to
sheltering the insect.

The prompt execution of the mur- derer of Premier Csnovas, of Spain, should bring blush to Americans when the Garfield Gitteau episode is recalled, even If we do boast a little of our American institutions and condemn the old fashioned tyranny of the east. There were 1900 murders and homicides in thIs country in 1895, with but ll3 legal "zeeution. and 160 lynchings. It is just possible that if We would hang a man legally once in a while. there would be less tendency to mob vio- lence, which is worse than a too strict administration of the law.
