THE MUSICAL MONKEY.

Ho Is Also Trapeze Performer anu
First-Ciass Fighter.
Albert Anderson, who Ii, es in Harlem,
has a monkey named Billy. The monkey
has a room 10 by IL which is fitted with
all sorts of acrobatic apparatus likely to
be enjoyed by small but healthy tree
climber. In one corner of the room is
a bed and in another are two dumbbells,
made fast with chains, because the
monkey throws things when its temper
is rufficd.
The monkey is so fond Of music that
when Albert Anderson, Jr., plays the
harmonica in its hearing, no matter IL
it be eating or rolicl<ing, the monkey
stops, and, keeping time to the music,
sways back and forth from its hips, its
eyes wide open, and its face expressing
great joy. Young Albert gave Billy u
mouth organ one day, and Billy
screamed with delight. The monkey
put the instrument to its mouth and
blew hard. A discord followed, instead
Of the tune which the monkey plainly
expected, and it thereupon held the har-
monica at arms length to look at it. 1t
blew the instrument again and again,
each time looking at ii as If to make out
what the trouble was. At last Billy
threw the harmonica across the room,
chattering in anger. Albrt played a
waltz on his instrument and Billy grew
less excited, but would not touch a
harmonica again.
A week later the boy got u music box
for the monkey. After showing Billy
how to turn the crank the boy left the
box on the floor. The monkey looked
at it. turned the box upside down,
shook it, and then, taking hold of the
handle, began to turn it slowly. The
music came and the monkey began to
dance, first on one foot and then on the
other, whining with delight. 1t is only
after the removal of the box that Billy
can be made to exercise on the bars and
swings enough to keep in health.
Billy does not weigh more than two
pounds, but every grain of those pounds
is full of grit when it comes to fight.
Sam, the house cat, big gray brute,
Scared in street fights with wandering
tramp cats, got into Billy's room one
day, and the monkeys lips curled
The cat looked upat the monkey, which
was on trapeze bar, and licked it's
chops. Billy apparently knew what
that meant, and dropped down part way
to the floor. The cat jumped, but Billy
did the giant swing and the cat missed
Before the cat had got to The floor again
Billy was on it, and in two minutes the
cat was leaping over bars and swings

FARMER AND PLANTER
BOOK FARMING.
Prejudice Against "i,ook Farming" Grad
ualIy Dying Out.

Prejudice Against "lsook Farming Grad
uaily Dying Out
The prejudice against what is termed
"book farming" is very strong, al.
though based on unsubstantial
grounds. 1t is gratifying to know
that this prejudice is gradually de.
creasing, and as education becomes
more general, will be wholly elimi'
mated. BY book farming" the read.
ing of agricultural papers is implied.
There are not few successful farmers
who decry book farming, and yet in
their practice negative their position,
1t will generally be noted of them
that they absorb readily, but
never give out any information.
With great eagerness they gather up
coral hints and suggestions from their
neighbors and are the closest observers
of what is going on on their own farms
and the farms of Others Will the
mere fact of the publication of their
own experience or what information
they may have obtained from others
in an agricultural journal or In book
form invalidate the correctness and
value OF that experience or informa-
ton? Does reflector behind lamp
destroy the brightness of the light?
How can it demonstrate the correct
ness of an experience by obtaining the
details of it orally? Why should read
ing in print the same experience DEM
pnstrate its uncorrectness.
Books and agricultural journals, in
recording the experiences and observa-
tions Of others, and the conclusions
drawn therefrom, serve as the reflector
behind the light to extend its focal
power and bring out more perfectly its
illuminating power.
1t may be said truthfully that every
observation written Is not absolutely
correct. Neither would it be correct
If it was spoken instead of being writ
ten.
The real base of this prejudice is the
fact that readers do not always COM
prehend the real mission and object OF
an agricultural journal.
Let readers learn that the mission
of agricultural journals is not to lay
down fixed rule for the guild.
ance of farmers, but to enunciate
principles which farmers can study
until they thoroughly understand them
and afterwards apply according tc
varying circumstances and conditions
The agricultural journal does not say
to the farmer: You press the button
we will do the rest" The agricultural
journal elucidates and explains the
general principles underlying the prac
tice and constituting the science O
agriculture.
The agricultural journal should b.
read for the purpose of learning th'
why and the how, and more for learn
Ing the principle than the actual prac
tice. 1t should be used by the farme
as any other implement, intelligent,
and for the purpose intended. Thu
used they are among the best invest
ments on the farm.-Southern Guilt

ascertain the real number OF children
in the district resorted 10 an ingenious
scheme. Two monkeys were gayly

through the streets of the district.
Crowds of children followed the mon

Cane Farming.

Cane tops were at one time used in
Louisiana for seed as in the tropics,
but our climatic conditions necessitat-
ing the saving of seed cane separately
from the manufacturing season has
led to the entire abandonment of
planting cane tops AS the business
comes closer and the, margins narrow,
1t would seem very possible that
we shall again begin planting cane
tops, cutting our canes low in the be.
ginning of the grinding season, and
mattressing or windrowing the cane
tops in such way that they will keep
until needed AS the industry changes
from planting on its present huge
scale to cane farming, as it surely
will in the early future, a resumption
of the planting of cane tops in Louis
lana seems likely. Louisiana Planter.

HOME MANURES.

Cuipablc Waste Not to Convert All Re-
fuse Matter Into Manure.
AS so often urged, it is n culpable
waste not to convert all the refuse
materials which accumulate on every
farm into valuable plant food. If it is
inexpedient to compost these mate
rials, the farmyard manure may be
hauled out and used to topdress spring
grain and grass crops, taking care not
to haul over the land when very wet;
or we may haul the uncomposted
manures and broadcast over the land
which is to be plowed for summer
crops. Where convenient of &C.
cess and not too far to haul,
wood mold, the rich earth in fence
corners, etc, may also be hauled and
spread upon the CALLED or bare spots,
which sometimes appear on otherwise
well conditioned fields. But where
possible, we have found that compost
ing is an economical as well as con-
venient method Of utilizing many
forces otherwise unused, and also that
1t renders available much that would
else be wasted, or too slow in its ac-
ton 10 benefit this seasons crops. IL
In these compost heaps we use potash
in the form Of kainit, and also some
good phosphate, we run no risk
of these ingredients teaching
out, and their presence will in.
suie several beneficial results.
The potash, while furnishing
q much needed element for our crops,
will prevent the escape of ammonia
and the phosphate will supply de-
ficiency in the farmyard manure, be-
sides adding its own value to the
heap. II these are compostcd with
leaves, trash, cotton seed, lot manure,
ETC., the heaps properly built and pro-
tected from the weather, the fermenta-

Available Resources,

For many years the cotton grower,
ignorant of the great value of his
cotton seed, threw them away. Since
their use by cotton oil mills the cotton
seed becomes an important part of the
cotton crop. Corn growers likewise
for years left the cornstalks in the
field to serve as harbor for insect
enemies and let a very valuable part of
the corn crop go to waste in the fields.
But investigation proved the value Of
corn stover, and the wise farmers
now are using their efforts to stop
this leak upon the farm. Recently it
has been discovered that the pith of
the cornstalk serves as a valuable coat.
ing to vessels of war, rendering them
proof against missiles of destruction.
II this leads to the use of the pith Of
the cornstallk for such purposes, the
demand will necessarily increase the
value of the cornstalk and add to the
revenues of the farm. These facts 20
to show how unwise farmers are to let
anything on the farm go TO waste

THE LoBSTER's LEGS.
Only Eight of tho Ten Are Generally Used
for Walking.

Tor walking.
A Holsters legs all told are ten in num-
Der. But cn,y eight of these are large
ly used for walking. The front'pair, OF
big claws, have been specialized, as in
the crab and most others OF the higher
crustaceans, into prehensile organs for
catching and crushing the prey. Their
use is obvious. HOLSTERS feed largely
off mollusks of various sorts and other
hardshelled marine animals; in order
to be able TO break or crush the shells
of these, and so to get at the softer flesh
within, they have acquired such large
and very muscular nippers and pincers.
That is not all, however; not only have
the two front legs been differentiated
and specialized from the eight Others in
this manner, but also by rare exccp-
ton to the symmetry of the body, the
right claw has been specialized from
the left, each being intended to per-
form distinct function. One Is a
scissors, the other is mill; one is a
cutter, the other is n cracker.
AS "a rule, the right claw is the slender
er and longer; it has toothlike projcc-
tions or serrated edges on its nipping
faces, and it is rather adapted for bit
ing and severing than for crushing or
grinding, The left claw, on the other
hand, is usually thicker, heavier and
rounder; its muscles are more power
full, and, in place of sharp teeth, 1t has
blunt tubercles or hammers of different
sizes. 1t acts, in fact, more like nut
cracker than like teeth or saw; it is
smashing organ. Nevertheless, you
will find it interesting to observe, by
noting the Holsters served to you al
table, that this differentiation has hard
ly as yet become quite constant; fol
sometimes it is the right claw TINT dis
plays the hammer-lke, nut-crackel
type, and the left that acts as nippcr ant
bitter, while sometimes no difference oc
ours at all, both claws alike being sharp
toothed or blunt-bammered in the same
specimen.-Golden Days.

Common Sense Farming.

Farming II not practical is nothing.
Theory may do as Il working model,
but as it can not take into considera-
ton all the elements nor all the I'M.
foreseen circumstances and excep.
tions, it is often of little value be-
cause 1T can not be applied. Under
such circumstances, good applica-
ton of common sense will prove of
more value to the farm than an appli-
cation of the best barnyard manure,
or of the more expensive use of the
best fertilizers in the market. We
concur with the idea that a constaut
application of good common sense by
the farmer himself will almost GER
tainly keep any farm in good running
order. Farm News.
