Money is not the only thing that is

Of another quite as valuable. and
with the price which they have paid
they have lost the capacity or en-
joying what they have gained. A lit

The German papers are telling the
story of one of the Jokes in which the
Queen of Holland delights. One
Christmas day she. as usual. received
the professors of the Dutch UNIVERSE
ties. When one learned man greeted
her, she met him with an air of child
ish relief and confidence.
ooh. my dear Mynheer. | am SO
glad that you have come" she said.
II have wanted you. Here is a letter
of thanks from little king. We con-
ferred the Order of the Lion upon
him because he was SO good to our
Dutch subjects. Now we want you,
who are so famous a linguist, to pro-
nounce for us the name of our friend"
The hattered professor took the
paper, looked at it. stammered and
blushed until the kindhearted little
Queen relented.

said Take it home and study it."

Mr.. r. Il. Terry, in the Practical
Farmer makes Il most vigorous pro-
test against the doctrine that he finds
in one Of the agricultural papers,
that the meat and bones Of animals
that die Of disease may be used as
food for hens and hogs, and very prop
erly says: ut must turn the stomachs
Of thoughtful people against pork,
poultry and eggs OF the market" In
this we thoroughly agree with him,
and we would favor law to prevent
such use Of the diseased animals, or
of any meat that had begun to de-
cav, as much as we would a law to
prevent 1t from being sold for food
purposes. In fact, using it in this
way to produce food products Is no
better than to use the meat itself, and
perhaps worse, because the meat
might warn consumers away by Its
appearance or its odor, but when they
are disguised in eggs or the flesh OF
other animals we may not receive
that warning, and yet we cannot eS-
cape the disease germs or bacteria
which are transmitted from one to
the other, and possibly increased in
their poisonous properties instead of
weakened. 1t is this which makes
the writer of Poultry Points so much
opposed to the feeding Of raw meat
to fowl. If the hers are fed upon
beefsteak the eggs will be as whole
some as the meat was, and il they
are fed upon rotten, sinking meat, we
want none of them.-Amcrican Cul-

BIRDS AND THEIR FLIGHT,
Most People Have nm Exaggerated Idea
of Their spced.


of Their speed.
II YOU consult the usually accepted
authorities on the speed OF birds In
their flight you are likely to be mlsled
10y an exuggeration OF from 100 to 800
percent. This Is because figures nave
been given on herosay, appearance ana
very superficial observation. But re-
Gently American, English and French
observers have been comparing notes
and are practically agreed after most
careful calculation on the speed OF
the best known birds, They started
with the carrier pigeon and have maue
him Il base OF comparison. lie has
heretofore been credited with 10 miles
an hour, but it Is now agreed that he
Is entitled to SO. A quite recent long
distance, carefully conducted test or
$50 miles, from the Shetland Islands
to London, showed that the most
rapid pigeons made 81 miles an hour.
On shorter distances none has made
more than so miles.
Because frigate birds have been seen
far from land and have been sup
posed not to fly by night or to rest
on the water, they have been credited
with speed OF from $50 TO 200 miles
an hour. If they did fly at that speed
they would have to overcome an at
mospheric pressure Of from III to 80
pounds to the square foot of Tying
surface There is no certainty that
they fly more rapidly than passenger
pigeon or that they do not fly at night
or do not sleep on the water.
The swallow, that is indeed rapid
flyer, has been credited with $50 miles
an hour, but he must be cut down to
65 miles, and the marten to five miles
behind him. though authorities have
placed him 10 ahead. The teal duck
is brought down from lao to so miles
an hour The mallard is five miles an
hour. The mallard is five miles slow
er and flies the same as the canvas
back, while both of these are five miles
an hour ahead of the wild goose and
elder duck.
Small birds appear to fly more rap
| idly than the larger ones and have
deceived many Observers. The hum
ming bird does not fly as fast rs many
awkward appearing, very much larger
slow Tapping birds.-Chicaso Chr0nl'

ExperS-nce with a Hand Separator.


A writer in the Farmers Guide re.
lates his experience with the hand sep
arator. When he was setting his milk,
sklnming and churning the cream lie
found by two months record that he
made a pound Of butter from u little
over twenty-four pounds of milk. For
the same length of time when using
the sepaI. cor he made pound Of but
ter from eighteen pounds of milk,
which was Il gain Of about thirty per
cent. This increase was not kept up
through the summer, but he had aver
aged a gain Of twenty per cent. for
fifteen months in the amount of butter
made from the same weight of milk.
He also learned another thing from his
daily record of weight of milk and
amount of butter made. He did not
feed any grain during the summer
while cows were on grass Inst year,
and it required from twenty-one to
twenty i've pounds Of milk to make n
pound of butter, but he began to feed
grain in October and as he gradually
approached full rations the amount or
butter increased, until in January he
could make pound Of butter from
IFS hounds of milk. The churn test
from Jun, / to September 30 showed
49, pounds of butter made to each 1OO
pounds of milk, aud from October l to
Januar-. 81, 81 pounds, a gain of four
ffths of n pound to each 100 pounds OF
milk. Willie some part Of this gain
may have been due to the cows being
further advanced in lactation, he be-
lievcs. as we do, that some part OF II
was due TO the better feeding.

Emily Geiger's Ride.

On the firing line woman may be
worse than an insignificant unit, but
If she cannot shoot straight she can
and frequently does ride as straight as
n man, and show a mans resource in
emergency. AS natural result each
war has its collection Of State and
National heroines. Emily Geiger was
South Cardinals heroine of the Rev.
olutiOn, and her claims to respect and
remembrance are set forth below:
In the spring Of 1871 General Ma
thaniel Greene attempted to capture
the most important post in Upper
Carolina. but being advised of Lord
Rawdons rapid approach with large
British force, he withdrew across the
Saluda River, and was pursued by
Rawdon to the Enoree River.
Rawdons forces We're reported d.
vided, and Greene considered it imper'
alive to communicate with General
Sumter. who was stationed on, the
Wateree River, so that. united, the
