Lime in Insecticides.

While lime is generally used in the

In the use of the spraying tools the lime
Is, however, the best to use, although
there is much complaint regarding it
because of the injury to sprayers. This
is due, without doubht. to the fact that
poor lime is used; that 1t is used too soon
after shaking. and that it is not prop
erly strained. The lime should be Of
the first quality, such as is used by
builders, and it should be slaked for
two or three weeks before being used,
so that all possible of the gritty ma
terial that is apt to clog or injure the
nozzle of the sprayer may be dissolved.
Then the lime should be strained
through cheesecloth. to keep out the
grit that was not dissolved.

While there are differences of opin-
ion as to whether or not food for stock
ought to be ground. there is no doubt
but what young stock of all kinds
thrive best on the ground food. This is
but natural. for the immature stomach
is much better able to digest the ground
food than the whole grain. That ground
food is also beneficial for mature stock
no one viii deny. and yet how beneti-
clal depends both ON the food used and
upon the animal.
Wheat fed to hogs must of course be
ground or the hard portions will pass
through the animal undigested; so with
other foods fed to different animals.
and II feeder should use common
sense in determining whether it will
or will not pay to grind the food he has
TO give. Many cows of considerable
age would still be profitable if more
care was taken in the preparation of
the food given them. While the sub
iect is one that must be largely worked
out by the feeder, it will pay every time
to follow the suggestion hat food for
young stock be ground.

The boy who is in love with machin-
cry ought hot TO be compelled to give
UP that love to remain on the farm.
So too, there may be the boy whose
whole soul is full OF music and who
ought to think of no other profession.
or the one to whom questions of law
appeal with supreme force, or the one
TO whom the practice of medicine seems
especially enticing. So, too, there may
be the man especially adapted for sue

energy. who is willing to be led, who
finds it too hard work to think, who Is
willing TO be directed may pass "a life

The young men who ought TO consid-
er whether they may not better remain
on the farm also fall into two classes.
In the first class comes the boy who
loves the farm. There are such boys,
there would be far more but for the
parents. 1t is surprising how many
young men the teacher meets whose
parents urge. if not insist, that they
shall follow some other calling than
farming.
The second type of young men who
may well consider farm opportunities
is the bright. all round boy who may
easily become interested in anything.
This embraces the largest class of all.
| wish l might impress upon the
young men belonging to these two
classes the fact that the farm offers
opportunities second TO those extended
by no other calling. The chances Cor

than in other lines. These chances do

The Shipping of Eggs,

1t is a common practice among fan
ciers to ship eggs by express, but the
average farmer Is afraid to trust the
cars, and contents himself with ex-
changing with his neighbor. or with
those that he can reach by days jour
ney there and back. But If he would
only try he would soon learn that it is
perfectly safe to ship eggs by express,
and that they will hatch as well after
going a thousand miles as if picked up
out of his own barn loft or manager.
Have roOmy coop, where you can
place the sick fowl for doctoring. 1t is
best not to doctor much. but very often
a fowl will get out of condition and
then the others impose on it and keep
it away from its feed. It is in cases
of this kind that the coop is needed
because a few days of rest and careful
attention away from the others will
often be all the dOctoring necessary.

4 number of authentic anecdotes
have been collected by LIE Tour du
Monde to illustrate the fact that the
sentiment of revenge is very well de-
veloped in some animals. Everybody
knows that elephants, for example,
have long memories when they are sub
jected to treatment that hurts their
feelings. Captain Shippe of the French
army discovered this fact TO his sorrow

forgotten the incident when he next
saw the animal and attempted to ca
ress him, but the elephant, recogniz-
ing the practical joker. suddenly alb
sorbed a quantity of dirty water from
a puddle near by and diffused it over
the officers uniform.
Griffith, the historian tells a story
of two Indian elephants at the siege Of
Burtpore. Water was scarce. and in
great demand. which gave unusual
value To a well that had not dried up
one day just as small elephant and
its driver were leaving tn. well. the
animal carrying pail If water. a
very large and strc1S elephant seized
the pail and drank the water The
smaller elephant, conscious of his in
ferlor strength. showed no resentment,
bur bided his time. One day he saw
his enemy standing broadslde by a
well. The little fellow suddenly rush
ed forward with all the energy Mt his
command butted the big one on the
side and tumhled him over into the

An Indian missionary tells of an in
discreet person whom he saw teasing
an elephant By pricking his trunk with
pin and then feeding him with lct-
tuce salad. which no elephant has any
use for. The animal was rather slow
