Root Crops for Poultry.

1t would not be wise to feed only roots
to poultry. Yet if the farmer will use
only onc-fourth of the grain he gives
daily and substitute cooked roots he vii!
reduce the expenses materially and get
more eggs. The cheapest food is that
to make hens lay is to keep them III
good health 1t is impossible to have a
flock in good laying condition when only
grain is given. Such foods as carrots
turnips and potatoes arc not rich in egg
producing elements. but they perform Il
service which renders all the food more
valuable than hay. Let the farmer give
his cows nothing but corn. and the sup
ply of milk would soon be reduced. From
a dietary standpoint. the use of cooked
roots is recommended, and they will en-
able the farmer to feed moro hens and
got more eggs with little or no additional
cost.-Furm and Preside

DRESS IN BAD TASTE.
EnElisIl Women Wear Costly Fabri c
at Public Gatherings.

~ AlAGT1HSos
Ida Hustled Harper, one Of the Amer
lean delegates to the international wo-
mans congress recently held in London,
left the British metropolis with very
poor opinion of her English sisters taste
in dress. Before leaving for London"
she wrote the other day, 1--WE were told
by persons who wanted us to be ere
dit to our country that We must be care
ful not to dress too gayly over here,
that nice, gentecl tailor-made suits were
the proper thing. So we, bankrupted

Light Fluid in Which Cork Sinks.

Now that hydrogen has been liqucfied.
there seems to be no more worlds to
conquer in that special direction. 1t was
remarkable coincidence that the first
public exhibition of this latest wonder
was made in connection with the cente-
nary of the royal institution Of Great
Britain. Prof. Dcwar, in opening the cx-
hibition, spoke OF liquid hydrogen as a
new instrument of research, which it
cmlnently is by virtue of the extremely
low temperature at which alone II can
exist, and which low temperature it. by
ITS presence or contact, enables other
substances approximately to reach. The
liquid was exhibited in a state of gentle
ebullitlOn in a vacuum tube Immersed in
liNud air, the latter serving to impede
the access of the heat. The hydrogen is
