Thc EsthnoIogY of Kissinc.

The kiss was unknown, l think,
among the aboriginal tribes Of America
and OF Central Africa. From the most
ancient times, however, it has been
familiar to the Asiatic and European
race. The Latins divided it into three
forms-the osculum, the basium and
the suavium; the first being the kiss
of friendship and respect, the second
Of ceremony and the third Of love. The
Semites always knew the kiss, and Jot
speaks of it as part of the sacred rites,
as it is to-day in the Roman Church.
The Mongolian kiss. however, is moi
the same as that which prevails with
us. In it the lips do not touch the
surface sof the person kissed The
nose is brought into light contact with
the cheek, forehead or hand; the
breath is drawn slowly through the
nostrils, and the act ends with slight
smack OF the lips. The Chinese con.
slider our modeof kissing full Of coarse
suggestiveness, and our writer's re
gard their method with equal dis,
dain.
Darwin and other naturalists have
attempted to trace back the kiss tc
the act Of the lower animals who seize
their prey with their teeth, etc.-Dr.

One of the residents of Lanesboro,
Penn, recently had an opportunity OF
witnessing how an interloper is pun
ished by the marten species of bird
A pair of martens had taken posses.
sion OF small box and were building
their nest in it. One day, while they
were absent, screech owl took pos.
session of the box, and when the mar.
tens came home he would not allow
them to enter.
The smaller birds were nonplussed
for a while, and in a moment flew
away. In a short time, however, the
little ones returned, bringing with
them a whole army of companions, who
immediately set to work, and, pro.
curing mud, plastered up the en-.
trance to the box. Then all flew away.
In few days the farmer examined
the box and the owl was found dead.

B. work shop on the farm is a groa5
convenience; every progressive farmer
has one, and those who want to keep
up with the advancement of agricul-
tural interests will follow suit. To
build work shop is an easy job; it
doesn't take long and costs but little,
if constructed as that dear old cabin
in which [ used to work. My work
shop was about eight by ten feet and
six feet from the floor to the loft,
covered with oak boards and having
no floor save the ground. II was
sided up with one-inch oak boards,
which were sawed from timber cut in
the woods, the space between the
planlis being covered with thin oak
strips. The shop was provided with
an anvil, two strong hammers, wise,
planes, saws, drivers, chisels, Il
shaving horse, brace and set OF tif-
teen bits, ranging from an eighth Of
an inch to an inch, spoke shaves, Il
square and rule, etc, all of which
may be bought new for about $12. l
also had q harness makers outfit in
the shop, so when harness needed re-
pairing did not have to go eight or
ten miles to have it done. Whenever
any of the machinery got out of order
it could generallybe repaired at home,
and thus save money and time. For
instance, when wheat is dead ripe and
the binder breaks, rod or some
minor part gets out of order; then to
the blacksmith shop, unless you are
pretty well skilled in the work OF re-
pairing iron and have shop and
tools Of your own, in which case much
valuable time is saved.
A workshop is, in my Judgment, as
essential to the farm as spring or
cistern, and am ardently in favor of
the latter. When there is work to be
done in the shop in the winter, small
stove is easily put up. Thus com
Portable quarters are prepared for the
workmen. Oftentimes the farm har-
ness break, sometimes when the farmer
is in the midst Of very busy season
Now comes the chance to use the
shop; or when there is no particular
need for the broken harness, rainy
day will come about when the farmer
may so to the shop and do his work in
the dfy, having the necessary tools at
hand.
Farm implements, no difference
how strong they may be or how sub
stantially they may be constructed,

The Berliner Notwithstanding
reports about experiments made for
the purpose of securing the most ra-
tional method of preserving eggs.
This being topic of general interest,
[ beg to give hereafter an extract Of
the results obtained, as described in
the said journal:
Twenty methods were selected for
these experiments. In the first days
of July 400 fresh eggs were prepared
according to these methods twenty
eggs for each method), to be opened
for use at the end of the month of
February.
OF course, n most essential point
for the success of preservation is that
only really fresh eggs be employed.
As the most infallible means of ascer-
tanning the age of the eggs the expert
mentist designated the specific weight
of same. With fresh eggs it is from
1.07S4 to 1.0942, If the eggs are put
into a solution of 120 grammes (4.23
ounces) of common salt in one litre
q.0567 quarts) of water, the specific
weight of which solution is 1.073, all
the eggs that swim on this liquid
weigh less, and consequently are not
fresh. Only those eggs that sink
should be used for preservation.
When, after eight months of preser-
walton, the eggs were opened for use,
the twenty different methods en-
ployed gave the most heterogeneous
results:
Q) Egss put for preservation in
salt water were all bad mot rotten,
but uneatable, the salt having pene-
trated into the eggs.
(2) Eggs wrapped in paper, eighty
per cent. bad
(3) Eggs preserved in n solution of
salicTlic acid and glycerin, eighty per
cent. bad.
(4) Eggs rubbed with salt, seventy
per cent. bad.-From the United

A gentleman will have gentle stock.

As rule the first 100 pounds Of

Good feed and plenty of it sarly in
the life of the animal is what secures
the maximum development and lays
the foundation for future usefulness.
An Iowa stockman claims that Jumps

recently dehorned, are often caused
by vicious jabs given by the sharp

Lamb-creeps and pig-creeps are
good things in giving the young stock
a start in life. You will be surprised
to see how young they will begin to
eat and how much they will consume
if the right kind of foods is provided.
A Michigan dairyman writes that by
judicious breeding and feeding and
careful selection by the test, keeping
only the best COWS and caring for
them properly, he has in three years
raised the test of his herd from less
than four per cent. to over five pei
cent, and reduced the cost of butter
three cents pound.
There is apparently little foundation
Tor the claim made by some feeders
that most Of the nutrimenG has been
taken out OF the grain which passes
the animal whole; often the loss is
sufficient to twice pay for grinding the
feed. A good farm mill will often pay
for itself in single winters feeding.
The hoofs of the horses must be
kept properly trimmed or they will
grow long and ill-shaped, then per-
haps split; or they will grow long in
front, throwing the foot back II pom
