BU2DOCK AS A VEGETABLE.

What is even regarded as a vile weed
 can, with a little stretch of imagina-
 ton be turned into an ornamental
 plant or delicious vegetable. This is especially the case with the common burdock, Lappa major. School boys all know it from gathering the burrs and compressing them into ball, they being held together by the curved points of the floral involucre. This is all they know about it. It is difficult to see anything more to be despised in t.ie Eurdock leaf than in the leaf of the rnubarb. It appears that it is largely used in China for food. But it is stated that if the stalks be cut down before the flowers expand and then te boiled, the taste is relished equally with asparagus. The leaves, when young. are boiled and eaten as we eat SD mach. In Japan it is in univers- al use. Thousands of acres are devoted tC it's culture. But in this case the root is the object. It requires deep soil to get the roots to the best advan tage. The common name, in China, is Gobbo-a name, however, which need not replace our common one of bur ioaIl.-Meehan' Monthly.

either in the wool breeds or the mutton breeds Grading up in either line is we'll, but sheep eXcelling for both purposes is a contradiction of natures law.
 A hungry sheep is not a growing sheep. and feed is economized by never letting the flock be hungry long enough to begin losing flesh. Whether the sheep is raised for mutton or wool there is always profit in abundance of feed. It takes time and unusual feed Io re- establish process of improve inent that has been checked.
 The eve for the farmer who has not had experience in sheep raising should not be pure bred of any class, but should be of medium size, healthy and full of vigor, and with marks of some breeding in the line selected, whatever t may be The ram should have indi- Vidual equality and stamina, and can net have too pure line of ancestry. Having selected a breed stay with it. Don't try to invent new breed having all the excellencies. The men who have spent a lifetime in improving breeds have succeeded best by breeding purely in some one line.
 There is some difference of opinion as to whether it is better to shear lambs while fattening but according to the Denver Field and Farm it has been found that greater gains have been made after shearing than before. It gives one case where lambs on feed made ic one week before shearing an average of 1.9 pounds, while after shearing the same lambs gained dur ing an equal period of time an average gain Of 2S pounds. The shearing was done MarchS. Probably weather con ditions would be a most important fac tor in the question.

 The best grade of mutton sheep is the kind that pays the most to the farmer, and to make the most out Of it as much attention must be paid to the feeding as to the breeding.
 Keep on wedding out the poorer sheep of the flock vigorously. It don't pay to let a flock retrograde or even to stand still. and it cannot be improved except by reserying only the best ewes fer hredlng.
 The sugar fed lambs of Colorado. or lambs that have been fed on sugar beets are obtaining good deal of eel ebrity. and not only do the beets seem to make a finer quality of mutton than is made by other feeds, but they are worth more as feed than as material fer the sugar factory.
 Sheep may be kept on the farm at little expense but it don't pay best to keep them in that way. They respond with liberal profits to liberal feeding and good care. Food wisely used will bring more than twice it's original value when turned into mutton and ECcl

Dehorning cows has been all the fash.

ishing how many claim that their COW
had the hollow horn. simply as salvs
for what appears to be hard-hearted
practice. In most instances the deed
Was done before the parties had even
learned that their cattle even had the
hollow horn. Hence. this not being the
motive for the deed. they should not
mix II into salve TO soothe their
wounded conscienees.
A good old sister said: "No. I'll not
have my COW dchorned. The Lord made
her with horns and He knew better than
do what she needed" A good old
brother said when he was nsked the
cause OF hollow horn: "why. poor feed
ing and too much milking will keep
both the COW and her horns hollow.
reckon that's the cause OF so much hol.
low horn"
Another sister worried over the de-
hornins Of her COW. Before It recov-
cred from the effects Of II some one
snid: THAT COW has the hollow tall"
The old woman looked around. threw
up her hands in horror and said: "Taks

ToDDY TREES.
They Grow in South America-neeties
Get Drunk by Tapping Bark-
Other Arb0real Tricks.

Nature has her rum shops, her sa-
looms. She produces plants which de-
vote themselves to the manufacture and
sale Of intoxicants. The South Ameri-
can to<ldy tree IL well known to natural
lists. 1t is we'll known also to the South
American beetles. the oryctes hercules.
When the latter goes on spree he never
goes It alone, after the unneighborly
habit Of the human drunkard. He col
lects his friends and acquaintances to
the number Of 30 or 40; the whole crowd
run their short horns through the bark
of the toddy tree, revel in the outflow
ing juices and. while inebriated. are
easily caught by the human natives.
says Lippincott's.
The toddy tree parts with its liquor
free Of charge. There are other plants
which are less generous. They exact no
less penalty than the death of the un.
fortunate drunkard. And what do they
do with the body: Strange as it may
seem. they eat 1t. In this manner they
obtain the food which nourishes them
and sMstains. their healthful existence.
At the end Of ench of their long green
leaves these plants have pitcher
shaped receptacle. We might style this
the growler. but it never needs to be
rushed. 1t is always full OF what with
special appropriateness might be called
bug juicc-a wntery liquor. sweet to
the taste and inebriating to the senses.
Only in fine weather is the growlcr open
for business. On rainy days it is firmly
shut up to keep out the rain that would
dilute and spoil .he contents. Natures

Sufficient is known, however, to make
the statement worthy of consideration
that she has created more in the nature
of genuine CONSERVATION among the
naval powers of Europe than anything
of the sort that has come into exist
ence. Then there is the Plunger,
which was completed at Baltimore not
so long ago. She will, her inventor
promises, perform wonders when she
is given a chance to show what she
can really do. Theory is not the best
basis in the world on which TO deter
mine the usefulness Of d craft, but
that is what the makers of the Hol-
land ard the Plunger have to be con-
tent with in the main. One thing is
certain: So far as any one has been
able to ascertain. no one has sub
marine craft which is in the same
class as those owned by the United
States.
AS to the practical value of sub
marine boats there has been much dis
cusSlGn by government engineers. Lieu

ing into consideration their peculiar
qualities as fighting machines, it would
seem that they would prove most effec-
tive in: l. Holding the first line of
