The most public barber shop in New
York has just been started in room
in the Grand Central Station which
opens into the main passageway from
the elevated railroad platform to the
main waiting room.
1t is small. shallow room, and the
side toward the passageway is almost
entirely glass. The chairs are within
five or six feet of the passersby and
every expression on the faces of the
men in them can be seen plainly.
Thousands Of people pass this glass
fronted barber shop every day and
since the BARRIERS have begun work
not few of these people have stopped
to stare at the men being shaved as
if they had never seen barber shop
before.-New York Sun.

The fallen apples should be utilized
for the pigs or disposed of in some
manner, in order to destroy as many
insects as possible. 1t is claimed that
where COWS are allowed in the apple
orchard they fall off in milk flow. Ex-
perienced dairymen assert that the loss
of milk is due to the COWS ranging
from one tree to another to secure
the apples that fail daily instead OF
eating grass. Apples, if given as a
portion of the ration, will increase the
milk flow, but too many apples will
not prove beneficial. Apple trees
should not be in a regular pasture,
as they do not thrive in such loca-
tions, nor should the orchard be given
over to cattle, the sheep and hogs be-
ing more servieeable in consuming the
fallen fruit. Cattle may be allowed
in the orchard. however, after the ap-
pies are harvested or before they be-
sin to fall.

man seeing in an automobile merely a
horseless carriage which is moved by
some unseen power. Now, however,
an automobile has been invented in
Massachusetts which differs widely
from those in use at present.
1t consists of an ordinary four
wheeled carriage, in front Of which
is q traction motor. The latter is
mounted on separate wheels and is
connected by couplings with the axle
of the carriage. Ii is also provided
with reins, by means OF which it can
be guided and controlled.
AS the accompanying picture shows,
this motor is driven very much in the
same manner as horse, and for this
reason it is claimed that it will COM
mend itself specially to women. The
reins are so adapted that when either
il pulled the motor is at once guided
to that side and when both are pulled
brake is set in motion.
This arrangement is certainly more
simple and artistic than the ordinary
method Of guiding and controlling an
automobile, but whether it will work
in practice remains TO be seen.-Chi-

TIE most satisfactory way of har-
vesting the fodder crop is of course
with corn binder After the lower
leaves and the hugks have turned color
but while the toys are still green is
the proper time 10 cut corn. The
Gro has then fully matured, and while
the kernels remain a little soft they
harden Just as we'll in the shock as il
lie corn was left standing.
Corn haryesters work so satisfactory
ly and their price is SO reasonable that
every farmer who raises corn should
own one, unless he can arrange for
the use of a neighbours machine. There
will be probably $4,000 corn binders
sold this year by three or four large
harvester manufacturers-ab one
third as many as the yearly output OF
grain binders. These, with the ma
chimes already in use, will harvest a
very large share of the corn crop of
the country. Rather than lose the val
liable fodder crop, which will be need
ed so badly this winter, a farmer who
does not own corn binder and can
not buy one this year should arrange
with his neighbor to use his machine
at night Machines that have been run
day and night in this manner have cut
several hun~red acres il season.

Suppose that visitor from some

such circumstances his position would

some worms, but he would be unlike
ly to take a bird, quadruped, man or
any other thing that has the power of

very strong or weedy, throwing three
or four rows into one. If the crop
is pulled by the scoop hoe the on

all are drawn with wooden toothed
rakes into windows, which makes it
easier to load them.
How long they shall remain out dry

ment on the part of the grower, with
three points as his guide. The bulbs
must be we'll hardened, especially close
to the stem, before they can be safely
housed, else they will be likely to
sprout. They should not be kept out
so long as to have the outer skin very
generally peel off around the roots.
! If possible they should not be exposed
to a frost sufficiently severe to freeze
! the surface of the ground. Onions
are very hardy and a large proportion
of the crop will stand quite a freeze
without serious injury but the re
mainder will show the effects of the
frost by softening on the frozen side,
which forecasts carly rotting.
| When, by reason Of an unpropitious
season, insufficient manuring, too late
planting or general neglect, the crop

The boring was through almost solid
limestone, the log" of the well show
ing that one tunnel some two feet
in diameter was pierced, but the flow
has brought up numbers of living or
ganisms, all new to science. So far
four species of shrimps and a sala-
mander have been described, but these
have been abundant. DR.. James 70.
Benedict, Of the Smithsonian Institu-

an accurate conception of this strange
animal. Its head is large and pro-
longad forward into fattened snout
in which is the mouth. The eyes are
covered by the skin and are visible
only as two black specks. Behind the
head the external gills form festoons
about the neck, their vivid scarlet
