FOR THE FARMER,


"The largest plant in the world >
said an eminent naturalist to the
writer the other day, sis probably
a gigantic sea weed, known as the
'nereocytis,' which frequently grows
to height of more than 800 feet
The stem of the plant is as strong
as an ordinary rope, and large
quantities of it are dried and used
as rope by the inhabitants of the
South Sea Islands, where the curl
Gus vegetable ropes are found. This
sea weed usually grows at depth
of from 200 to 800 feet. AS soon
as the plant takes root pear
shaped balloon is formed, which
grows with the stem toward the
surface of the center. This balloon
frequently has diameter of feet
or more. 1t has, of course, an mp
ward tendency, and therefore keeps
the stem growing until it floats on
top of the water. This enormous
weed grows in such quantities that
large meadow-like islands are form
ed, which are often so big as to i'm
pede navigation. The ropes made
from the stems of the plant are
used for building purposes, and the
balloons, when dried, make very
serviceable vessels.n

some seasonable Suggestions.

Most farmers are humane. We
do not refer to the quality of neigh
borly kindness, though in this, also,
they are less selfish, more ready to
lend a helping hand and do gen.
erous deed than any other class of
people we have known. But in the
kind treatment Of animals the far
mer is usually thoughtful and is
"merciful to his beast"
On t e other hand, we have
known plenty of farmers who allow
their cattle to run about in the ex-
posed fields or pastures after the
cold weather of Autumn, not to say
Winter. has set in. t is thought
less, some t-nder-h hearted people
would say it is cruel; but, what is
of more consequence to the farmer
and owner of the stock is that it is
exceedingly Improbable.
Often cows and live stock in gen.
eral lose more by this careless ex-
posnre than can BE- made up after
ward in a month or two of careful
feeding and shelter. The loss comes
partly from the cold and partly
from the want of regular and suit
able food. The grass has lost its
sweetness and nutritive quality.
The cattle might about as we'll eat
sticks as the dry stubble and the
blades of grass after heavy frosts.
You will soon see that your stock
is losing flesh, but may not realize
that it is owing to neglect which
may easily he remedied. Especially
in cold, stormy weather should
cattle be able to find shelter; dur
ing the cold nights, when the
ground begins to freeze, they should
be housed. Do not neglect too long
to begin daily feeding. There is nc
economy in Lifting stock run down

Expensive Gold Saving Experiments.

II Is often asserted with reference to
mining that more money has been put in
the ground than has ever been taken out.
This statement Is absolutely true. a
great deal ol money has been spent In
foolish enterprises bv mrn who did not
understand the mining business, but such
money can hardly he said to have been
put In the ground. II Is also true that the
experiments which have led up to our
prcsen, development in the science OF say.

economies. II the results as a whole have
been satisfactory, then the machinery rs

out, the knowledge coming through ex-

wealthy men IN the west are in evidence
that more money, yes, very much more
money, has been taken from the mines
than has been spent In their development.

The Stature OF Rulers.

In point of stature the rulers Of to-
day compare very favorably with their
predecessors. Christian l., King of
Denmark, was feet high. The pres
ent Danish king, Christian TX, barely
reaches feet II inches, and his son,
King George of Greece, is 4 inches
shorter. The same physical decline
seems to mark the cars of Russia.
Peter the Great was giant Of 6 feet 10
inches. The ear of today barely
reaches s feet inches. The late Ger
man emperor, William T., was feet
high. and his brother, Princes Charles,
was but an inch shorter. The present
kaiser cannot stretch himself beyond
feet inches. The king of the Bel
gians, with feet 4sinches of stature, Is
the tallest of living monarchs; and
Queen Victoria, with feet 10 inches, Q
inches less even than the present Chi
nese emperor, is the shortest. as she

THE CHiLD'S MIND.
Let Him Look into Every Phase of IN.
dustrIal LIZ.

dustrial Lifs.
Expand the child's mind by shogina
from time to time scenes from all sides
Of life. Take him today to studios
and let him see how pictures are made;
next week to silk factories, to learn the
poetry of labor, and afterward to a
brick yard and an iron foundry, not
forgetting the claims of great churches
and monuments upon an elevating edu-
cation. The alienation Of city and
country is delightful stimulant. When
travel is possible we should give the
child glimpses of mountains and sights
Of the sea. and let him become &C.
guainted with mountaineers and fisher
men, even as he ought in town to
know something of the ways and
thoughts of the werkmen. so that he
may come to feel sympathy with all
sorts Of people and understand the
merit of labor. Experience Of this kind
is worth far more than theoriz-
Ing in school books. It is not partieu-
larly interesting to a child to read that
he should be grateful to all the people
who supply him with his daily COM
forts--to the farmer, the baker. the
manufacturer and the builder. But
when he sees how grain grows and is
converted into -four; how furniture is
wrought from blocks of wood and
thread woven into cloth, the whole
history of the objects about him is re-
vealed. The different parts of life be-
come connected and he gets a sense
of the thread of harmony that runs
through it all. And he has a moment
of satisfaction, coming through a
feeling of kinship with the world,
which is more useful than gratitude
upon general rinciples.-Florenc
