FLATFIsHEs' EYES.
A Migration which Takes Place Aft
err the Creatures Birth.

Migration Which Takes Place Aft
err the Creatures Birth.
Flatfishes keep their white and blind
side on the muddy or sandy bottom
and pretend that the upper and spec
killed. side is part of that bottom. This
they do to avoid observation, for in
spite of their awkward shape they are
swallowed at sight by pertinacious enc
mics, to the manifest discomfort of
both. A greedy cormorant curling up
and attempting to swallow a plaice,
which tries to be as disobliging as pos
sible, affords an object lesson not soon
forgotten on the way not to behave at
mealtimes. But the bird usually sue
ceeds in its object, and the flatfish, in
spite of persistent efforts to retain it's
natural fairness, at last disappears
down the round, elastic throat of the
cormorant. With view to avoid I'M
pleasantnesses of this kind, soles are
wont to hide themselves in the sand,
keeping only their eyes above the sur
face to act as sentinels.
In reality the dark surface of a sole,
plaice or turbot is it's side and not it's
back. 1t is true that both eyes are Wis
ible, which is not the case when a
mackerel or conger is laid on it's side,
but this is simply owing to the fact
that one eye of a fatfish has since the
creatures birth passed across what we
may call the bridge of it's nose to keep
company with the other eye.
The wandering eye begins it's migra-
ton at very early age-so early, in
deed, that it is little difficult to detect
1t on it's journey. A plaice fifth of an
inch in length and days old carries
one eye on each side Of it's nose. When
three-fifths of an inch long and about
2 months old, the left eye has crossed
over to the right side. Lemon soles
when one inch long or months old
have the left eye on the edge of the
head, but when double that size and 6
months old both eyes are found on the
right side. A sole assumes its lopsided
aspect by the time it has been Matched
2 months. When a turbot Is half an
inch in length, the right eye just be-
gins to peep over the center arch of the
bridge, at three-quarters of an inch it
is half way across, and at an inch the
passage is complete and the two eyes
look out from the left side of the head

RAPE AND OATS.

In southwestern Minnesota last year
man sowed two pounds Of rape
seed per acre on an 80 acre field of
oats. After the crop was harvested he
shipped in two cars Of sheep from
Chicago and kept them on this rape
field rs days and then shipped them
back to Chicago, the sheep getting no
feed outside Of what they obtained
from this field. The net profits of this
transaction were $780, or So per acre
for the second crop raised. A further
credit should be taken because of the
splendid fertilization of the field
secured by this process, the effect Of
which will be clearly manifest in sue
ceeding crops.

machinery. The most conspicuous
success in this latter line is to be found
in the Farmers Exchange at Rock
well, Ia, where business of 1925, 900
was done last year at an expense of a
trifle over one -half of / per cent. There
is not the least doubt as to the Geo.
nomic possibilities of agricultural CO.
operation, the whole difficulty lying
with the membership of such co-opera-
tive enterprises. Given the right kind
of men, and such organizations can
be made to win every time.

WHAT TO READ.

A farmer asks us to name a suitable
list of reading matter for himself and
family. There should first be Bible,
not one of those family affairs, richly
gilded and always looking as though it
had just left the hands OF the publish
er, but one showing signs of wear and
tear. This book, regardless of creed or
sect, contains more wholesome truth
and reliable information for the aver
age man, woman and child, more good
business maXims and trlte proverbs
more poetry and splendid diction, more
tragedy, sweeter love scenes, more of
what we call gray matter, than any
other book ever printed. Every one Is
benefited by its teachings. Then we
would suggest the home paper, the one
one that gives all the local news, and
see to it that its editor always makes
it clean enough so that you do not have
to censor 1t before it goes into the
hands of your family. Then should
come one of the large weekly papers
giving the general news of the world
which are now furnished so very
cheaply. In place of this one may well
substitute a daily or a triweekly if the
rural mail route is available. Next
should come at least two good agricul-
tural papers, not papers published 1000
miles away, but such MS treat of agri-
cultural conditions prevailing where
you live. We would then add one of the
good magazines Of the day and ladies
journal for the wife and girls, and by
writing to the state experiment direct
or you can have all the bulletins of the
station sent YOU free of cost OF course
this list may be added to with great
profit, but as given it is within the
reach of almost any farmer costing not
to exceed Sc, unless the daily is taken,
and there is no money invested by the
farmer which win bring him IN so large
and sure a return.

Skimmilk is by all odds the most val
liable food produced on the farm. A
man is very foolish to permit it to be
wasted or injured in quality before it
is fed to the young things on the farm.
1t makes hens lay, calves and pigs
grow stout and strong, is the salvation
of the young turkeys. If you are
sending your milk to some faroff
creamery to be separated and getting
back sour and putrid quality of
skimmilk, you are losing far more than
you think.

IMPROVEMENT IN CHEEsEMAKINe.

The cheeSemaking interests Of the
country are likely to undergo quite Il
change In the near future Hitherto
the factories got their largest supply of
milk during May, June and July, when
the hot weather makes it extremely
difficult TO properly cure a cheese, with
the result that "A cheese more than 30
days old is hardly salable because it
is too rank and strong in flavor, 1t has
now been discovered that chooses can
be most perfectly cured by taking them
direct from the making room and plac-
ing them in cold storage, so cured the
quality being in every way superior to
those cured in rooms where the mcr-
curry runs from 10 to 100 degrees or
course, it takes longer time to so cure
them, but when cured they are mild,
buttery and tender and in every way a
more digestible food than when c.."c-i

FRUIT TREES AND EvERGREENs.

A novel and possibly a successful
method of planting an orchard Of apple
trees came to our notice lately, 1t con
sisted of setting out just as many ever
green trees as apple trees on the or
chard plat, the trees alternating ia the
rows. The trees, now seven years
planted, both apples and evergreens,
look remarkably healthy, and the apple
trees the past season bore a good crop
for young trees. We can forcsee trou-
bic later on if the evergreens are al
lowed to grow untrimmed, for their
habit of growth will soon send them up
above the fruit trees We think that
this might be remedied by vigorous
cutting back. Certainly the apple trees
would secure an ideal protection so
planted. If the eyergreens are always
kept lower and smaller than the fruit
trees, this plan seems to have some
thing in it to commend.

Atlanta, Ga.-The shortest bill OF the
Georgia legislative session. one Of the
most unmstakable In meaning, End one
which has aroused great interest, Is that
introduced by Representative Thomas OF
Pierce county, which, II It becomes 4
law, will absolutely wipe out all divorce
laws Of Georgia statutes-books, The bill
in full is as follows;
"Be 1t enacted by the general assem-
bly, Of Georgia, and 1t Is hereby enacted
by the authority Of the same, that from
and after the passing of this act there
shall be no more divorce cases IN Geor'
gla for any cause.
"Be II further enacted, that all laws
and parts Of laws in conflict herewith
be and the same are hereby repealed"
Mr.. Thomas made no explanation
whatever of his bill. Under .he rules
governing the legislature, debate will be
In order in the house when the bill
comes up for third reading, when
there will undoubtedly be hgejy dis
cusslon over Its merits, 1t has now
been referred to the general judiciary
committee. The opinion prevalent
among members Of the house is that the
committee will return an unfavorable
report.
A stir was created when the bill was
read, and in the buzz of personal con-
yersation which followed it could easily
be seen that the majority of the repre-
sentatives did not take kindly to Its
provisions. To friends at the time,
however the author Of the bill express
ed his firm conviction that 1t should
pass. He believes that trivial causes
are too often accepted In divorce courts,
and that these latter institutions are IN
need OF a check-ren.
The Georgia divorce law is a strange
mixture of elasticity and purltanlsnl.
Divorce Is granted on almost any valit
ground, although total separation can
be effected only by the concurrent ver'
dict of two jurles, sitting at d!mereni
sessions.
