To make sure of blossoms for holi.
day decoration they should be potted
early in October. Bulbs may be sue
cessfully grown in either soil or water,
ard for some varieties, as hyacinths
and narcissus, the latter method is no
more difficult or uncertain than the
former, but bulbs which have bloomed
in water are so far exhausted that they
are not worth saving, while potted
ones can be ripened off and planted in
the open ground when spring comes.
Bulbs will thrive in any good potting
soil that is not heavy enough to be.
come sodden and sour. With good
drainage they do equally as we'll in
boxes as pots, and in groups as singly.
No doubt there are women who could
bring them to perfection in old tin
cans. Certainly one of the hand.
soonest window boxes Imaginable was
wire one lined with moss and filled
with yellow and white tulips, hya-
cinths and crocuses grown in old tin
cans with holes made in the bottom
for drainage. The spaces between the
cans were also filled in with moss,
and as it was in cool dining room
there was no difficulty in keeping up
q succession of blossoms from the
middle of January to the first OF
March.
What bulbs must have to make them
flourish is plenty of fresh air and
light, and temperature of from forty
to fifty degrees for half of every twen-
ty-four hours. By keeping them in
hall or other room with comparatively
low temperature nights, they will do
fairly well in an overheated room DUR
ing the day-if given plenty of water
and light, but to bring bulbs to per-
fection, and keep them there as long
as possible, the room should never be
over sixty-eight degrees.
In planting bulbs press the soil
down very firmly around them, letting
the top of the bulb remain above it,
water thoroughly and set the pots on
the floor in the darkest and coolest
corner of the cellar and let them re.
main for five or more weeks. If the
cellar is strongly lighted, cover the
pots with piece Of old carpet. Ex-
anime occasionally, and if the soil is
not moist water thoroughly. By this
treatment the bulbs make strong
growth of root while the top starts
very little. By bringing a few pots at
a time into q warm, lighted ROOM
something of succession of blossoms
can be kept up, but to extend it over
a month or more the bulbs must be
planted at intervals of about two
weeks time. Give plenty of sun
shine, and sprinkle the leaves and
buds often with tepid water, but never
when the sun is shining on them.-

Whatever may be the reliability
which attaches to the figures of the
celebrated English statishcian, Mr..
Michael G. Mulhall, there can be no
controversy over the fact that they are
full of practical interest. They cover
almost every field of investigation and
deal with almost every country on the
globe. One of the latest subjects
which this authority has taken up is
that of illiteracy, and as the result OF
careful research into the matter he has
recently compiled data showing the
degree of illiteracy which exists among
different nationalities. AT the head of
the list he puts Sweden and Norway,
with only two per cent. of illiteracy.
Well at the bottom Of the list he puts
Russia. with eighty-fve per cent. Of
illiteracy. In this classification the
literacy put down at thirteen per cent.
Th give the entire list of countries
enumerated by the statistician, the or
der is this: Sweden and Norway,
two per cent; Germany, four per
cent. Switzerland, five per cent. ;
Scotland, six per cent. England, nine
per cent; United States, thirteen per
cent; Holland, fourteen per cent. +;
France, eighteen per cent; Belgium,
twenty FER cent. ireland, twenty-six
per cent. Austria, forty five per cent. ;
Italy, fiity-three per cent Spain,
seventy-two per cent, and Russia,
eighty per cent.

Jadge Adair's Funny Mule.

Judge Adair has little black bank
mule that ought to be with circus.
He has plenty of brains and is mis-
chievous. He found q farmers sack
of corn in wagon, united it, caught
the other end and shook the corn out
and had feast. A hog grabbed an
ear, but was sorry after being run all
over town for it. The mule used to
jump out of the bank stable window,
open the door and let oil the other
mules out, then eat their corn. When
he gets whipped by negro he never
fails later to kick the right negro

gave greater proportion of dressed
meat to live weight than did those fed
on skim milk, and also gave more fat
on the carcass.
s. Young calves, up to three and
one-half months of age, required less
milk and less dry matter to each
pound of gain than did the hogs.
When the calves were five and six
months old. however, more dry matter
was required, but at least haf OF it
was hay.
6. When fed to calves, fully as
large financial returns were obtained
for the skim milk as when fed to hogs.
With the gain in live weight at four
cents per pound, the calves returned
twenty-five cents per hundred pounds
for the skim milk and the hogs.twenty.
two and eight-tenths cents. If the
gain in live weight was worth three
cents per pound, the calves would re-
turn five cents per 100 pounds more
for the milk than would the hogs.-

The typewriter's rapid progress in
the last few years seems almost in
credible in view of its extremely slow
development prior to twenty years
ago. The idea of devising machine
that would record words appears to
have been first conceived in 17l4. In
that year Henry Mill, of England,
patented and produced a contrivance
for the purpose of printing embossed
letters for the blind, and, strangely
enough, it is said that his invention
had several characteristics in common
with our modern typewriters. Sew
enty years passed before the inven-
ton of another writing machine.
This appeared in France. In 1929 a
typewriter was patented by W. A.
Burt, an American. In 1888 France
was gain in line with queer looking
machine called the "ktypograph, ."
which was designed to write music as
we'll as words. Ten years later resi-
dent of Worcester, Mass, contrived a
typewriter, the most Objectionable fea-
ture of which was its slowness Of
operation. Next came the invention,
in 1850, Of o. 7. Eddy, of Baltimore,
whose device was intricate and other
wise unsatisfactory. From that time
until the invention of John Pratt, of
Alabama, in 1866, four or five Ameri-
can patents were issued for similar
machines, but none of then was OF
much practical value. Pratt's pat
ent was closely followed by numerous
others, from which the modern type.
writer's have been evolved. Judging
from the present activity of inventors,
the machines evolution is still pro.
crossing at lively rate.

Preventing Swine Diseases.

The only true and sensible way to
prevent hog cholera and other swine
diseases is to treat the animals as clean,
healthy, meat-producing creatures,
and not as filthy vermin. tbs strange
that we ever got into the habit of treat.
ing the hog in such a slovenly man.
ner. We know now that most con-
tagious diseases are bred on filth.
That is why we have had hog cholera
in this country. The old-fashioned
way was to let the hog wallow in mar
row pen in its own filth, and then with
out giving it room for exercise feed it
heat-producing food.
The fact is the swine prefer clean
pens or lots to dirty ones, and they
like. to wallow in good, clean soil in
preference to their own filth. This is
a'method of cleaning themselves. Give
the swine more room, clean out its pen
regularly, and let it have clean earth
to wallow in, and it will be the clean
est looking animal on the farm.
Then give it pure, clean water instead
Of dirty water. The animals prefer
clean water every time, and will drink
it when they won't touch the dirty
mess found in SO many pigpens. Mud
should not be allowed to accumulate
in the pens, and then they won't get
their feeding ,troughs and their own
backs covered with it, Finally give
them some variety in their food, as
you give to the cows, horses, sheep
and chickens. As to diseases-they
won't have them if these simple hy-
gienic rules are followed. That is all
that's necessary to prevent swine dis

He Had Doubts.

An Irish hostler was sent to the
stable to bring forth a travellers
horse. Not knowing which of the two
strange horses in the stalls belonged
to the traveller, and wishing to avoid
the appearance of ignorance in his
business, he saddled both animals and
brought them to the door. The tray.
eler pointed out his own horse, say
ing: "That's my nag" Certainly,
yer honor; know that; but I didn't
know which one of them was, the
other gentleinan's."

Science again and again comes to
the aid of the farmer. Professor Mer-
riam, of the Agricultural Department,
is the latest benefactor in defining
what he calls life and crop zones in
which successful agricultural work
may be assured. The farmer who has
lost capital and vital spirit in vain eff
forts to make crops flourish in un-
suitable soil will appreciate the new

Under the direction of F. B. Lin.

been carrying on some experiments in
feeding calves the by-products of the
dairy.

gives the record of these experiments,

ably on skim milk when it is properly
fed.
2. From the standpoint of gain in
live weight and quality OF meat, whole
milk is the best food for calves, but it
makes too expensive a ration to be
prolitably fed. Butter fat has been
worth sixteen cents per pound. The
gain in live weight of these calves at
four cents per pound returns but 10. 7
cents rsy pound; for the butter fat fed
at three cents per pound the gain is
but eight cents per pound.
B. The calves whose rations were
composed largely of skim milk, while
they gained one-half pound less per
day yet required practically the same
amount of dry matter to each pound
of gain did those fed on whole milk
they made just as good use of the
food.
