illustrated By the fact that last year
$4,000 tons Of old tin cans were treated
to recover the tin and the steel. From
this were recovered 825 tons of tin and

melting.

1t Is the conclusion of fruit men that
apples keep much better If they are
hurried Into cold storage as promptly
as they are picked instead of being
left In the orchard In piles or In bar

Where there is only a small herd of
dairy cows, say twelve or fifteen, kept
on the 160 acre farm and where the
dairy is not made the leading feature
of the farm it is by all odds best to
put at the head of such herd a sire of
the best beef breeds. and he should not
cost less than $125. In this way
grade of feeders can be grown from
such herd which will be just what
such type of mixed farming needs to
be fed and fatted on the farm.

The main thing with boy is to wake
him up and get him to have some sort
of a realization of what he is capable
of-of the possibilities which life holds
out for him. For this reason it pays
to send the boy away from the some
what limited environment of the farm
to some good agricultural school,
where he is brought into touch with
other bright and ambitious boys and
introduced into the larger field of sci
entific agriculture. When boys high

have good time, the material Is there
out of which to make mighty poor

Not In twenty-five years have we had
such luxuriant growth Of strawberry
vines to cover up for the winter as this
fall. The promise for a large crop Of
berries next season is very fattering,
as these thrifty plants must have set
an enormous quantity of fruit buds for
the crop of 1903. And here we are
asked how to cover the Strawberries
and when. We take clean straw or
marsh hay II it can. be obtained and
when the ground is firmly frozen up
scatter about two inches of cover on
the bed. In the spring this cover is
raked In between the rows and serves
the double purpose Of mulch and a
protection for the berries from the dirt
And remember 1t is best to leave it un-
disturbed as long as possible In the.
spring, as the plants are thereby to
some extent held back from blooming
SO early that late spring frost would
catch them.

The late cool and exceptionally
moist summer wrought some curious
changes. An unusual growth of tree
and shrub has resulted. Our orchard
trees. five years set, almost doubled In
size. CRAFTS put in last May show
growth Of from three to five feet and a
diameter at the base of nearly an inch,
the forest leaves are nearly third
larger than usual. while the whole
family of grasses grew as never be-
fore, there has been freedom from
nearly all forms of insect pests such
as we seldom see, even the common
house fly for once ceased to be a null
sance, all garden vegetables attained
prodigious size and development. and
two crops of hay were cut nearly ey-
erywhere instead of one.

We have only to go back hundred
years to see how greatly the condition
of the laboring man has been I'M
proved. In 1874 the peasants of Baya-
ria were serfs, and it was a violation
of the law to pay them more than 10
cents for a days work. The employer
who paid more suffered fine of $7.15.
and the laborer who demanded or ac-
cepted higher rate of wages was
given eight days Imprisonment at hard
labor on bread and water and twelve
stripes with rawhide across his bare
back each day besides. In 1902 the
American farm hand wants $3.50 a
day and his board. and any attempt to
put stripes on him would start an In
surrection.

The Elephants Sense.

Why an elephant should be afraid of
a mouse is mystery. Some have
doubted the generosity of the elephant
because of his aversion to small ami
mails, but none can doubt his intelli-
gence. Button, Notwithstanding his
idea of the mere mechanism of ami
mails, spoke of the elephant as at the
same time miracle of intelligence
and a monster Of matter" Ernest Me-
nault happily referred to him as the
animal that carried his nose in his
hand; hence the marvellous intelligence
of his trunk. The senses Of touch and
smell cooperate.
The nerves which extend through his
trunk are so numerous that they equal
in number all those distributed over
the rest of the body. The elephant can
keep perfect time to music. He has the
ear perfectly organized, and the hear
ing is extremely fine. The eye of the
elephant is distinguished from that of
other animals by the pathetic express
sion of sentiment. Take him all in all,
naturalists agree that he is the most in
telligent of animals. And why should
he be afraid of mouse?

His Head and His Hat.

darby that he has not always clear
idea as to property rights, but on some
points it appears that he is not in the
least hazy.
An old colored man In the days "be-
TO de wah" was given one Of his mas
ter's cast off hats, which he wore with
great pride. One Sunday his master
met him coming home from a camp
meeting in pouring rain bareheaded
and holding his hat under his coat.
Later on the master questioned him
loosely:
"Why didn't you wear your hat, Jer-
ry? Did you feel the need Of cooling
your headT
"You see, It's like dis, sah," respond
ed Jerry. my head is yours, but my
hat Is mine. and nachelly feels like
taking care oh 1t, sah."-Youth's Com
