WHEAT EXPERIMENTS.
Loss III Harvesting Before the Grain Is
Fully Ripe.

DR.. Charles Lowndes, of Talbot county,
has made some interesting experiments in
wheat harvesting designed to show the
loss incurred by cutting wheat before it is
fully ripe. The wheat experimental with
was planted on the 10th of October on stiff
white-oak land and seeded a busbel and
ahalf to the acre. at harvest time DR..
Lowndes took three samples of five heads
each, all che heads having the same number
of bars and of grains in each bar. No.
was taken when the grain was in the milky
state, No. . when in the doughy state, and
No. 3 when the grain was fully ripe.
Three days INTERVIEWED between the talk
ing of each sample. All the samples were
kept in the same place and subjected to the
same conditions Of temperature and moist
ure. The wheat was rubbed out by hand
Zach sample was carefully weighed on a
druggists prescription scales. No. ]
weighed G8 grains; No. 2, 60 grains and
No. ,, 10 grains. No. was dark, ahriv-
eIed and unsightly No , was better, but
off color and the grains were not plump :
No. was perfect in condition and color.
This shows loss of over 10 per cent. in
harvesting wheat when in the doughty
state. Why the milky state grains weighed
more than those in the doughy state is an
unanswered question.

HIS Be
I. EYED 7 A TENT.

It was near the close Of a cool Sep
TENDER day, and the shadows had fall
len SO heavily over the long wards Of
q hospital that the neat white cots
looked all alike; but upon closer In
spection one could see that the patient
sufferers were differently occupied.
Some. slept, while others thought OF
the time when they would bes once
more permitted to walk Gods beautiful
earth.
Among the cots there was one that
was empty-it was No.. 16. Its last
occupant had been discharged that
morning, and it was now waiting to be
utilized again. Presently a noise Is
heard at the end of the long hall, and
some one Is being wheeled in. No. 16
has new occupant. Weak and pale
upon her pillow lay sufferer, young
and fair, while on her snowy forehead
clustered soft curls Of golden hair.
No. Is was wholly unconscious Of
the pretty picture she made. She lay
there softly moaning; cruel wheel
had crushed her, and she had been
brought bleeding and suffering to that
great home for sufferers, the hospital.
Tenderly the doctor dressed the
wounds and gravely watched her first
signs OF returning consciousness. He
was rewarded; the long lashes moved
and beautiful pair OF blue eyes looked
up at him. They seemed to look into
his soul. Never before had grave DR..
Edgar Canton been so thoroughly
moved. .EgLl
= He walked to the head of the bed
and softly asked If she wanted any
thing. 'Where am I? O, where am
I? Why can't move? I'm so tired!"
The beautiful eyes closed again, and
she had again lost consciousness Week
after week that terrible fever seemed to
tear the life from the young sufferer
Day after day DR.. Canton came and
watched his patient, and listened pity
ingly to her rawlings:
It was there he learned the story Of
her Ife-how the dear mother had
died and left an orphan, this beautiful
girl; it was there he learned that,
after months of fruitless searching. she
had at last found employment as book
keeper for downtown firm. a~.
He listened while that poor muddled
mind added column after column Of
imaginary figures; but one night she
fell into deep, peaceful, dreamless
sleep. Morning came and with it new
life for Millicent Everton. Slowly
she began to improve; she noticed the

It was at President Hadley's re-

his own very recent return from the

GOT CATS INSTEAD OF BLANKET

Penalty Paid by Southern Planter for
His Inegible Chirosraphy. 3D."
IF you ever get down to old Colonel
IS" said an enthusiastic New Or
leans sportsman, naming q, veteran
planter Of the lower coast, you will
find the grounds oyerrun with big coal
black cats, now partly wild. How they
came there Is quite a curious story.
You see, there is some tip-top hunting
in that neighborhood, and some years
ago, at just about this season, the old
man invited down party of northern
gentlemen to take crack at the ducks.
They were heavy swells he had met in
New York, who were here for the car
nival, and he was anxious that they
should have royal time. The best
place for ducks was some distance from
the house, SO it was arranged that the
whole crowd should camp out for a
few days near the shooting grounds,
and in getting things together for the
trip the colonel discovered he was
short on bed clothing. Accordingly he
rushed darky over to the station with
letter to his merchant in New Or
leans asking him to buy twelve large
blankets, and send them out by first
express. Now, the colonel's handwrit-
ing, resembles the tracks of an inebri-
ated turkey and his photography Is
equally eccentric. He spelled the word
blankets 'blancats,' and after puzzling
over the hieroglyph for an hour, the
merchant concluded it stood for black
cats. He was astonished, of course, but
knowing that there was jovial gang
at the plantation he decided some prac-
teal joke must be afoot and hurried
out the clerk to buy all the large black
cats he could find in the neighborhood.
They had some trouble getting the doz-
en- together, and the black cat market
rose about 500 points before they sue
ceeded, but eventually the consignment
was safely boxed and sent away. Next
morning the colonel and his guests
eagerly awaited the arrival of the wag-
on from the station, before starting out
and when it appeared in the distance
were surprised to hear a faint sound Of
yowling, rapidly growing larger as it
approached. A huge Slated crate filled
one end Of the bed and inside were
twelve large black cats engaged in a
free fight. When the top was pried off
the ebony monsters leaped out in all
directions, and they say the colonel's
remarks ran up to the temperature Of
the lower coast Is degrees Fahrenheit.
That's where the stock came from that
is now on the plantation. There must
he two or three hundred of the beasts
by this me."-New Orleans Times
Democrat.
