Carrots stunted by Crowding.

All kinds of roots are much better If
given plenty of room in which to
grow. Probably no root suffers more
from crowding than the carrot, for the
reason that when it terminates the
leaves are so small that it is hard to
tell whether a cluster of leaves repre-
sents one, two or three plants. 1t is a
great loss every way to allow the roots
to crowd each other in the growing.
The bulk of two or three roots grow
ing together is not nearly so great as
one good sized carrot. The short-horn
carrots, which grow partly out Of the
ground, can be seen much better than
those whose roots are entirely below
the surface. And perhaps because the
short-horn carrot grows partly above
ground it is not injured so much by
growing in clump. 1t is also more
nutritious than the deep-rooted carrots,
but it needs to be gathered before the
soil freezes very deeply, else the root
will not keep well. Parsnips can be
allowed to stand in the ground all win
ter.

Proper Ventilation,

The method of natural ventilation
that is, providing an opening in or near
the ceiling for the outlet of foul air
is both common and sensible. Refer
ring to this method, writer in The
Building World says that the efficiency
of the plan is proved scientifically,
and is based upon the simple fact that
heat expands and cold contracts, nat
ural law to which air is no exception.
Foul air is generally warmed to some
extent, and then rises to and passes
out by the opening at the higher level.
it's place being taken by cooler air en-
tering at the lower of the two opens
ings-in order to insure ventilation
two openings at least being necessary,
one to act as an inlet and the other as
an outlet The effectiveness of this
natural ventilation depends entirely
of course on the difference of tempera
ture between the external air and the
INTERNAL and, this being the case, the
system may be very effective in win
ter and utterly fail in sumner; and, rs
air dilates or expands 1-491 of it's vol
ume for each degree of Fahrenheit
that it's temperature is raised, its
weight is consequently reduced in the
same proportion, and the lighter air
is thus forced to the upper part of the
room by the greater weight of the
cooler air.

Menace to Dairy Industry.

The process butter business is a
menace to the dairy industry at both
ends of the line, and it is wonderful
how the fraud continues to grow and
thrive. In the first place, the farmer
who sells the 10-cent butter from which
process butter is Aaade is not benefited
in any way by having market for
such stuff, for he actually would get
more for the milk if he let the calves do
the milking. A hundred pounds of av-
erage milk will make 49, pounds Of but
ter, which, at 10 cents pound, makes
45 cents a hundred for the milk. If
this same milk were fed to calves it
would bring a return of SO to 60 cents
a hundred, clear gain to say nothing
Of the saving Of labor. Hence the far
mer who makes 1O-cent butter is really
injured by having market for it. If
he did not have the market he would
not make it-Denver Field and Farm.

IT'S ALL IN THE HYELID.
The Optic Itself Has No More Expressioa
Than Marble.


Than Marble.
There are no expressive eyes. The
expression of the eye is really in the
lid. The eye itself, Independent of its
Surroundings, has no more expression
than has a glass marble. A prominent
English oculist makes this daring
statement, and he defends his position
with emphasis. ''The eyes have no
expression whatever" he says. "How
do you explain the fact that the eyes
of one person are more expressive than
those of another?' / am asked. They
are not. The difference consists in
certain nervous contractions of the
lids peculiar to the individual.
'Observe for yourself, and you will
see that / am right. We will say that
I am greatly interested in something.
and my attention is suddenly called
from it by an unexpected interruption.
My upper eyelid raises itself just lit
tie, but the eye proper does not change
an iota in appearance. If the Interrupt
ton is but momentary the elevation
of the lid may be but momentary. If
the surprise caused by an interruption
is continued the lid may be raised even
a little more, and, in fact, the whole of
the forehead, including the eyebrows,
is raised and wrinkled. But the eye
remains the same.
''When a person is excited much the
same emotions are gone through con-
tinued the doctor. His eyes are open
wide, in cases of intense excitement to
their greatest extent, but the forehead
is not wrinkled and the ball of the eye
is as expressive as a bit of glass. No
more.
"Observe the face of one who laughs.
You will see that the lower eyelid has
no muscle of it's own, and it is only
by the contraction of the adjacent
muscles in smiling or laughing that it
is made to move That is why there
are many wrinkles about the eyes of
merry persons.
'The expression Of deep thoughtful-
ness is produced by the dropping of
the upper lid; the lids of some persons
fall SO low that the pupil of the eye
itself is the same. If the meditation
is over a subject that worries the
thinker the expression is again quite
different; the eyelids contract and the
eyebrows are lowered and drawn to-
gether. This is true of a reflective
mood.
GAS to emotional moods, there is the
expression of anger, for instance. The
eyes, instead Of closing, are open wild
er than they are normally, but the
brows are closely knit.
I'm expressing sadness the entire up
per eyelid comes half way down, and
the folds of the skin collect there, Civ
ing the lid thick, heavy appearance. -

Weak Swarm of Bees.

When a swarm of bees is found at
the close of the season light in weight it
is generally better policy to destroy it
than to try to keep it through the win
ter. The weak swarm is probably al
ready infested with bee worms, and
the sooner the propagation of these is
arrested the better, as their increase
makes greater danger for all the
swarms next year. If the weak swarm
is destitute Of queen it's bees may
be transferred to larger and stronger
swarm with advantage to both, though
in some cases more food must be pro-
vided for the strong swarm after this
addition, to enable it to winter without
loss

The Ancient War Chest,

Once upon a time there really was
a war chest-an actual, literal war
chest. Kings of England respected the
demands of that chest to greater eX-
tent than they were wont to respect
the requirements of good many other
deserving institutions, and all the gold
pieces that they felt they could spare
from their own pet enterprises they
dropped into it as child put pennies
in his little tin bank.
Government officials say when | ask
them half seriously if the war chest is
to-day hidden away in some burglar
proof vault, that no such thing now
exists, that in these days of blue books
ard public reports that any one can
buy for a cent, there is no chance for
any such secret fund. Germany, how
ever, is popularity supposed to have a
strongly guarded war chest, and so it
is believed, have Italy and Austria

The Barnyard Problem.

There is nothing so repulsive as a
wet and filthy barnyard, in which the
animals are compelled to walk knee
deep in filth. Such condition is not
necessary and can be prevented if the
barnyard is kept well supplied with alb
sorbent material. Throwing whole
cornstalks into the barnyard is the old
method, but cornstalks do not absorb
until they are trampled to pieces, and
in the meantime much of the liquids
are carried off by rains. It will pay to
shred the cornstalks or cut the straw
for bedding, while leaves and dry
earth may also be used in the barnyard
with advantage.

Why Cows Dry Up.

Cows go dry from mismanagement
more than from any other cause. Irreg-
ularity of milking and failure to strip
when milking will cause any cow to
dry off. The richest milk is the last
drawn from the udder, and for that
reason alone the dairymen should strip
closely. Changes of food, when made
suddenly, will also cause the cows to
fall off in yield; but in winter the
cause may also be due to extreme cold
and insufficient shelter, while in sum.
mer the use of netting in the windows
to protect the stables against the en-
trance of flies and other insects will
serve to prolong the milking period.

Weevi1 in Wheat.

The director for the Oklahoma exper-
iment station says: Considerable COM
plant is received at the experiment
station that the weevil is injur1ng
stored grain, particularly wheat. This
can be stopped by the use of liquid
known as carbon bisulphide. The liq-
uid evaporates readily at ordinary
temperatures, and the vapor, being
heavier than air, sinks, and is death
to all animal life that breathes it, al
though small amount taken into the
lungs does no injury. The gas is also
highly infammable, and therefore not
even lighted tobacco pipe or cigar
should be brought into contact with it,
for fear that an explosion might re-
suit
To use the gas the grain to be treat
ed should be in reasonably tight bins.
The gas will not penetrate more than
about three feet in depth in the wheat,
and it should therefore be introduced
into the central part of the bin by fast
ening a wire screen over the end Of a
pipe of sufficient length and forcing
the pipe down and pouring the liquid
into the pipe, when it may be with
drawn and forced into another place.
If the weevil is working on or near the
top, the liquid may be poured on to
the grain and the bin covered with
blankets or canvas for about twenty
four hours, when the gas will have
nearly or quite all disappeared. The
paS does not iniure the grain for grow
ing or milling purposes.

To Preserve Smoked Meat.

In order to keep smoked meat in
summer so that it will not be bothered
by bugs, mold, slime and other enc
mics, it is a good practice to dry it
thoroughly and pack in barrels with al
falfa or other chaff. Then roll the
barrel into cool, dry room, and the
meats will keep in excellent condition
Dampness cannot affect the meat pack
ed in the chaff, and insects will never
get into the chaff to reach the pork
This method is better than coating tho
meats with black pepper, paper, muslin
sacks and other devices.

Fertilizers Fully Up to the Standard.
Fertilizer manufacturers are held
strictly to compliance with certain
laws of the various States in order to
protect the farmers, and chemists en-
ployed by each State must accept sam
from farmers, and their work Is
spread broadcast in official bulletins.
The faithfulness with which the laws
have been executed, while no opposi-
ton has been shown by manufactur-
ers, demonstrates that the States can
protect it's citizens against fraud.
What the fertilizer manufacturers OBJ
ject to, however, is that the law sin
giles them out as the only dishonest
class, although fertilizers are as true
to claims as any kinds of goods. The
farmer needs protection more from
fruit tree vendors, impure seeds and
f1imsy implements than from fertlliz-
ers that are below the standard, for
while nurserymen and seedsmen are
reliable as class, yet there are par
ties who will seek every opportunity
to foist impure seeds on the public.
Farmers now have less to fear from
fertilizers than from anything else
procured by them, and several stations
report that Of the various analyses
made there has not been a single case
in which the sample of fertilizer fell
below the standard required by law
fact which is very gratifying to the
farmers

Curing a Cold.

To feed a cold and starve a fever is
a dangerous maxim. At first sign Of
a cold the patient ought to take a rap
id hot bath in warm, well ventilated
room; then remain covered in bed, with
hot water at the feet, for several hours.
Darker the windows, court sleep, and
fast, save only from drinking warm
broth or Cruel, until unpleasant symp-
toms subside. Nor should there be-
mental or physical exertion. Then all
the vitality can go to restoring cir,u-
lation and throwing off that waste ma
terial which, retained, is absolute poi
son. TO eat in this condition is to add

Paws to Get the Best.

The best lawyer nearly always wins.
If you must go to law, hire a lawyer
better than your opponent. If this
cannot be done effect a compromise,
whatever the cost. 1t is not import
ant that the law and facts are on
your side if you have a poorer law
yer than your opponent. This is par
ticularly true if the case is tried be-
fore a Jury Law is not a science; it
is matter of push and eloquence, like
politics. It is always a good rule to
keep out Of law, which can nearly al
ways be accomplished by arbitration
or compromise, but if law suit is
forced upon you, the important thing
is to hire better lawyer than your
opponent and engage his enthusiasm

To Neutralize Fruit Acids.

Some fruits never seem to get sweet
when cooked with sugar. The trouble
is that ordinary cane sugar when heat
ed with certain fruit acids is converted
into grape sugar. This latter sugar has
only one-third the sweetening power Of
cane sugar, and so a good deal is re-
quired. This can be overcome by put
ting in little baking powder with the
sugar, which will neutralize the acids
of the fruit, and prevent the conversion
of cane sugar into grape sugar.
