There is an honest Swede employed AZ
gardener in the East End, and his delib.
crate speeches are a source of much delight
TO his employer. He has been much an.
noyed by thievish birds, and few days
ago suggested that "a scarecrow would be 4
good thing. 1t took him some time to
make the employer understand what he
meant, but finally he realized it was 4
dummy bird scarer, ''lak in OF country"
The employer fell in with the idea and
:old the Swede to rig up frame. When
tins was completed the latter was given q
bundle of cast-of clothing to deck out his
dummy. He looked askance at the gar.
ments as he put them on the sticks and
was evidently much impressed by their ex.
cellent condition. He glanced down at bis
own clothes from time to time and seemed
to be making silent comparison. Present.
~ he put the scarecrow in the garden and
returned to his employer, who stood at
some little distance. He looked at the work
OF art with his head very much on one side,
and finally said:

Possibilities of swine Raising.

The farmers of. the south are given
great deal of advice these days about
growing their own meat, but in many
cases it is disregarded. Experience
has taught many farmers that it costs
them more to raise their own porl.
than to buy 1t. and the trouble incident
to the home producing of the meat is
avoided. 1t seems that the point on
which the farmers need advice most ia
as to the manner Of raising their own
meat. Half the meat raised in Missis-
sippi costs from five to ten cents per
pound. when with better stock, better
and more liberal feeding and better
care it could be produced for from two
to three cents per pound.--Southern

Considerable misconception prevails
as to the manner in which the ostrich
runs. 1t seems to be still generally held
that vixen running it spreads out it's
wings, and, aided by them, skins light
~ over the ground. This is not cor
rect. When bird really settles itself
to run, it holds its head lower than
usual and little forward, with deep
loop in the neck. The neck vibrates
sinuously, but the head remains steady.
thus enabling the bird, even mt top
speed, to look around with mistaken
glance in any direction. The wings
lie along the sides about on levelwith
or little higher than the back, and
are held loosely, just free of the plung-
ing thigh" There is no attempt to.
hold them extended or derive any as
sistance from them as organs of fight.
When an ostrich, after hard run. is
very tired, its wings sometimes droop:
this is due to exhaustion. They are
never, by running bird exerting itself
10 the utmost, held out away from the
sides to tighten its weight or to increase
its pace. But the wings appear to be of
great service in turning, enabling the
bird to double abruptly, even when GO
ting at top speed.-Zoologist.

DUE TO INoRoINATE VANITY.

Injury of Kaiser's Eye In Explained
by n German Diplomat.
The recent injury to the kaiser's eye
was the result of characteristic ex-
hibition of personal vanity on his part.
He was informed that it would be I'M
safe, If not impossible, to lower the
heavy steel pole masts of the Hohen-
sollern. his gigantic yacht, unless she
we're in dock and under derrick. He
exclaimed that If nothing was impos-
sible to him, and said il the naval en-
gineers aboard were unable to devise
means of lowering the masts while the
ship was afloat he would teach them
how.
Accordingly, he drew up a scheme
for unshipping the masts by means OF
hawsers attached to the bow and to
the other masts. 1t was while this
hawser was being rugged up under his
personal direction that rope snapped
and the end struck him in the face.
Ills eye was seriously injured The
kaiser bore the intense pain without
fiinching while in sight of his crew,
but when he withdrew to his cabin he
threw himself on the bed and writhed
in agony. When the surgical aid he OBJ
tanned some relief, he returned to the
deck with his eye bound up, and, in
spite Of the urgings of his officers, he
had the pole mast lowered, doing con-
siderable damage to the yachts deck
and rigging by the operation. Having
given this demonstration of his ''di-
vine" power, he had the crew summoned
and prayer was offered up. The cpl
sode was due to one of those attacks
Of mania to which he is subject in mid
summer.

eye IL very gravely hurt and that il
is quite possible the kaiser's sight may
be permanently affected.-Chicagc

SCIENCE AND INDUSTRY.

The following general directions

II 1T be annual, do not let it make seeds;
II 1t be perennial, do not let it make
leaves.
Digestion proceeds more rapidly In
the horse with active exercise than
when eating is followed by period of
rest, according to the experiments Of
DR.. Tango, of Buda-Pesth. In the dog
and in man the opposite is true, which
shows how unsafe it is to infer results
in one animal from observations on an
other.

hara with forest is pronounced by NJ.

nlleys-most of which are favored with

cessfully planted with tamarish, acacia,
eucalyptus and poplar, the last-named
tree having unexpectedly proven the
most suitable. In the forest shelter
vegetables and fruit trees may be
grown.
Mr.. William H. Dali, of the Smith
sonian institution, says in Science that
during the early days of the whale
fishery several well-attested instances
occurred Of whales struck in one ocean,
as the Atlantic, being afterward killed
IN the North Pacific, and vice versa"
This would indicate that some whales
are great travellers, for to get from the
Atlantic to the North Pacific they
would have to go many thousands of
miles, passing either around Cape Horn
or around the northern end of North
America and through Behring strait.
Men of science sometimes make ex-
traordinary demands upon the skill Of
instrument makers. An interesting IL
lustration IL furnished by the instru-
ment called the "microtome." the pur-
pose OF which is to cut excessively thin

such as animal or vegetable tissues, for

PROTECTING TIMOTHY SOD.


able. IL
Many farmers who make considera-
bic amounts of manure from their
stables during the summer, and who
use it for top-dressing their meadows.
delay drawing il out until late in the
fall, thinking thereby to save it from
the waste of drying up in the hot mid
summer weather. But in this we think
they make'a mistake. The manure in
piles or scattered in the barnyard is
more likely to waste by evaporation or
by washing than it is on . grass
turf. There is no decomposition
to speak of in scattered manure. When
II is piled in heaps there is a good deal,
as is shown by the smell of Ammonia
that 10 given of. There is another
point worth thinking of about timothy
meadows If they are cut late there il
very little aftergrowth. and if the sur
face is exposed to the burning sun dur.
ing July, August and September the
plants will not be good for much next
year. To cover them lightly with
anything is an advantage, and all
the better il it has manurial value.
When rains comes they dissolve
little of this manure and carry it
down TO the roots under them. The
timothy plant usually has some fine
roots that sprout out just at the sur.
face. and these are ready to take the
benefit Of even very light rains The
soil under this manure is kept shaded
and mulched.
By the time fall rains begin there
will probably be fair second growth
OF timothy, which may then be fed
down without injury. Then the sur
face, should be narrowed with drag
heavy enough to break the clods of |
manure as they are softened by the |
fall rains. This win also loosen |
