A True Story.

Everyone knew and loved Father
Graham. He was an old-fashioneG
gentleman with the simple heart of
child. Because of his goodness his in.
f1uence was very great with both ole
and young in the little town where he
dwelt.
A young man of the village had beer
badly insulted, and came to- Father
Graham full of angry Indignation, de.
claring that he was going at once t.
demand an apology.
my dear boy" Father Graham said
take word if advice from an ole
man who loves peace. An insult is
like mud; it will brush off much bet
ter when it is dry. Wait a little, till
he and you are both cool, and the
thing is easily mended. If you &C
| now, it will be only to quarrel"
1t is pleasant to be able to add that
| the young man took his advice, and
4 before the next day was done the in
sulting person came to beg forgive
ness.

smoker ana NOn-S"Ohors
Advice may be excellent in itself and
yet come with poor grace from the per-
son who offers it. Two men of Mar
settles were one day walking together
when one of them took out a cigar and
proceeded to light it.
What do you call that thing?"
asked the other man.
"a Londres," answered the first.

years have you smoked?"

Thirty years, three cigars a day, six

that money for cigars, you could have
owned a house on the Cannebiere to-
dayv'
The other said nothing. The Can
nebiere is the richest and most famous
street in Marseilles. Presently the two
promenaders came ont on the Came
biere.
"You don't smoke, I believer" said
the man with the cigar.

And the abstemious man had to con.
fess that he owned no house, either or
the Cannebiere or anywhere else.

Misled by the Papers.

Every pursuit has it's own body OF
slang, otherwise known as technical
terms, and baseball is no exception.
Apropos of this fact the Baltimore
American reports a dialogue between
an old lady and her grandson.
"Now, Henry" said the dear old
lady, IT do hope you will never play
baseball" 80 ~
"Why not, grandma?" asked Henry,
with natural surprise.
Because it is. so very dangerous.

any more dangerous than any other
game" T." 50 ......'%

tacks Of this insect. In the mature !!
state this insect is fly, which deposits
its eggs in the pulp of the apple be-
meath the skin The young maggots
grow within the fruit, which they rem
Ger worthless, and when mature
emerge from the apple and go into the
ground, lying in the pupa state be-
meath the surface soil among the grass
roots. Samples of the earth, six inches
square, were taken, and the number OF
maggots under the trees varied accord
ing to the size, from 1000 to more than
10000 under each tree, the pupae some
what resembling kernels OF wheat.
Now comes the point which was par
ticularly interesting to me. The ex-
pertinent was tried as to whether poul-
try, If confined to small range and
encouraged to scratch, would destroy
these pupae. A large movable wire
fence was placed about tree whose
fruit had been destroyed by insects.
One side of the fence was raised and
about fifty hens were called into the
enclosure. The fence was let down
and they were confined to the space
around the tree. AS soon as they had
eaten the corn they naturally began to
scratch for the pupae, and in the course
of three or four days it was found that
the latter had disappeared. AS these
insects remain in the pupae state from
the fall of the apple to the following
spring, when they appear, it may be
expected that next year the number
of flies breeding the apple maggot will
be greatly diminished in the localities
where this plan is followed. From per-
sonal experience, extending over many
years, can speak positively of the
advantages of allowing fowls and
chickens free range in apple orch
ards. They not only manure the soil
and destroy all insects harboring in it
but they find, for some weeks, a con-
siderable proportion of their own food
the windfalls, which they devou1
greedily, with any grubs they may CON
j" tain. The raising of poultry for SALE
may be much more advantageously
carried on where the land Is made t
produce two crops-namely, apples ant
eggs-than where only one is gathered

ing. With the present easy,
rapid and cheap method of
testing milk, by the Babcock
test, no one can afford to be ig-
norant: of the butter capacity of his
COWS. First, as to the method of test
ing, and then as to it's advantages. The
milk of COWS, whether taken separate
ly or in herds, is constantly varying
from day to day, and from milking to
milking, these variations usually fall
ing within an extreme range of one
per cent. In addition, the milk is grad
| ually growing richer, from the time
the cow calves until it dries up. To
overcome these variations, COW
should be tested for at least four con-
secutive milkings, and eight milkings
are still better. This is easily done,
by mixing samples of the different
milkings and making one test of the
mixed sample To get an average test,
for the whole milking period, two tests
can be made. one six weeks, and the
other, six months aft\ calving. The
average of these two, will closely ap-
proximate tie average quality Of the
milk given during the year. If but a
single test is to be made, the samples
should be taken toward the end of the
fourth month after calving. 1t will be
necessary to know the weight of milk
given, and this can be learned just as
accurately, by weighing the milk the
first and fifteenth of each month, as by
weighing every day. The real labor
of doing all this weighing and testing
is much less than would be imagined
by one who has never tested COWS
Having now the weights and tests
what use can be made of them? II
every herd, there are some COWS bette,
than others. Testing enables the own

Camels In the Snow.

Troops Of camels, brought from
Mongolia are employed in winter to,
carry supplies and material to and
from the gold placers of eastern ST.
IBERIA, and the spectacle presented by
a long line of these 4ships of the des-
ert, tramping solemnly across the
SHOWS of Siberian steppe, is described
as extremely singular. Camels require,
only about half as much daily food as.
horses, but on the other hand, they
have to be literally supplied with salt.
Where the country is so wild that
neither roads nor tracks exist, rein
deer are employed instead of horses or
camels. and they find their own liv--
ing en- route by uncovering, beneath
the snow, a kind 81 gray lichen- on
which they are able to subsist..
