Queer Customs of Chinese.

In China liquids are sold by weight
and grain by measure. John buys soup
by the pound and cloth by the foot. A
Chinaman never puts his name outside
Of his shop, but paints inside motto,
or a list Of his goods on his vertical
signboard Some reassuring remark Is
frequently added, such as "One word
hail." "a child two feet high would
not be cheated"
Every single article has to be bar
gained for, and it Is usual for the Gus
toner to take his own measure and
scales with him. A strong man has
difficulty in carrying on his back two
pounds worth of the copper cash
which is the common currency, SO 1t
is necessary to take servant to carry
ones purse. The sycee of silver Is the
only other form of money besides the
copper tael. AS it weighs about sixty
seven ounces, q hammer and cold chis-
ell are Indispensable for making
change.

a bargain it is not considered binding

Farm Notes.

Abundant foliage assists In protecting
fr,,it ON trees and vines. Fruit ripens
earlier on trees where the leaves have
not been killed, and. as leaves take
carbonic acid from the air and give off
oxygen, they serve to purify the air
while deriving food therefrom.
Roots are superior to ensilage as win
ter food for stock, but the cost of en-
silage is much less than roots. A crop
of carrots will be found one of the best
foods that can be grown on the farm.
but the work of growing the carrots
is the great drawback. Ensilage, on
the contrary, can be always relied upon
as something sure, as the corn may be
cut at any stage Of growth should
necessity so demand. .-....
Good silage that has been we'll and
closely packed in the silo Is estimated
to weigh about twenty pounds or more
per cubic foot, and forty pounds is
about the ration allowed each COW for
one day. A silo ten feet deep and ten
feet square will consequently hON
enough ensilage to supply two or more
COWS over four months. Such silo is
a small one, but the estimate shows
what a large proportion of food can
be stored away for winter in a small
place by the use of ensilage.

Deep Flowing.

We used to believe in what We read
when young about the value Of plow-
ing deep to bring up the fertility that
had leached down through the surface
soil into the subsoil. Our opinion was
changed when we tested the deep plow-
ing upon a field with clay subsoil
that we planted with corn. Later ex-
periments have more thoroughly con-
vinced us that deep plowing, by which
we mean depth of more than four to
six inches, is seldom beneficial In this
climate, whatever it may be In other
sections of the country. The crops like
corn, that like to spread their roots
near the surface where the soil Is warm
ed by the sun, certainly do not need to
have the earth stirred very deeply for
them, while those that send their roots
down into the subsoil, as onions, clover
beets, ETC., can do SO almost through
the hardest subsoil or anything except
ing a gravel in which there is no mois-

These in turn lay their eggs upon

which indicates their, exact length.
The available remedies for this in
sect are preventive rather than cura-
tive. Wheat should not be grown con-
tinuously on the same soil, and indeed
long rotation should be introduced in

desirable to feed most of the stock In
the pasture a number of troughs made

For horses and cows it may be arrang-

and swine fastened lower down on the
fence Made foot wide at the bottom
and, say, twenty inches at the top. it
will be about right.
The trough should be securely spiked
to the fence posts as shown, and if two
animals are to be fed at time it may
be divided in the middle. If the AMI

each will get its share. Troughs Of this

Man Who Named Two Dogs "cOcoa"-

"I never hear laziness discussed, :"
said Frederick Kost, the artist. "but I
think of Old Man Crawford. who used
to keep an inn down on South Beach, ,
when the place was practically a wilder

the habit of running down there to
sketch. He was, without doubt, the
fellow most utterly devoid of energy it
is possible to imagine. He wouldn't
have breathed if he could have helped
it.
Zone of his sons, who had settled in
New York, sent him two daschund
pups. I remember how Crawford
would sit, summing himself on his porch
the whole day, with one of these dogs,
like animated sausages, on each eide OF
him. They were always by him, one
to the left, the other to the right of his
chair, when they we're at rest.
Zone day, as sat talking to him,
the dogs were romping in the house.
Crawford turned and called: Here,
Cocoa, Cocoa!' and the dasehunds came
trotting out.
"'What are their names, Crawfurd?'
I asked, thinking 1 had misunderstood
Cocoa, replied Crawford.

him.

man. They're always together-come

how, I'm not going to worry myself in

The wheat stem maggot or wheat
bulb worm, the Iowa Homestead says.
has proved to be rather a serious pest
in some localities. Its presence may
be easily detected in crop. When
the maggot form of the insect enters
the stalk, it cuts off the stem just
above the upper joint, with the result
that the head takes on a ripened ap-
pearance while the crop is yet green.
1t seems to be more plentiful where
both winter and spring wheat are
grown in the same locality. In this
case the mature insects with wings de-
posit their eggs upon the young plants
of winter wheat When these hatch,
the larvae feed upon the central part

FISHES FACES DECEIvINo.

Can't Always Tell by Expression What
Their Characters Are.
"Fish are a good deal like people"
said Superintendent Spencer, of the
New York aquarium. You can't al
WAYS tell by their countenances what
to expect of them. Look at that fellow
there, now!
He pointed to tiger fish which was
butting its nose against the glass of Its
tank. No more villainous face of the
pugnacious sort could be found in a
days search in the haunts of third-rate
pugilists.
"Looks as If he would fight at the
wriggle of a fin, doesn't heT" the su-
perintendent continued. "See those
Jaws! Bad eye, too. Well, sir, that
is the most gentle fish in the aquarium
one of the clinging kind, that seeks
affection and kindness. Now, over there
is a lady fish. Just observe those bril-
liant colors, and that dear, innocent
face, and notice the coaxing, graceful
movements of its tall You'd think it

ION the contrary, it's the most un-
ladylike fish In this collection; its tenn
per is shrewish and its habits are bad,
and If you gave it chance 1t would
bite you like a savage bull pup. It's a
vicious fish, and doesn't deserve all
those fine airs 1t has"
Mr.. Spencer put his hand near the
glass front of the tank, says the New
York Mail and Express. There was an
instant commotion; the insinnating tail
lashed the water, and that angelic
mouth bumped sharply against the bar
rier in a swift effort to nip the tip of
the superintendent's finger.

about it is that you can choose beauti-

course! I would never put anything
ugly into a cupboard Of mine, If
could help it."
"Well, Alice, although ] think as you
do, yet sometimes grew careless, and
placed worthless articles on it's shelves.
And then, too, it is very difficult to re

Early-Cut Hay.

Ear1y-Cut Hay
In those sections where hay is q COM
mercial crop. mostly intended for sale.
they are very sure to cut all kinds Of
hay early, and cure It as little as pos
sihle without danger Of its heating in
the bale. They cut timothy before it
has blossomed, and IL the red top is
sown with 1t that must be cut at the
same time. They find that they can get
from 81 to 81 per ton more for early
cut hay than for that which Is not cut
until in bloom or later. If 1t Is worth
that much more to the city buyers who
mostly want 1t for horses. the value of
it for milch cows Increases even more
by early cutting. and the larger dairy
men who make butter or sell their
milk by the test of butter fat have
nearly all learned this lesson, but We
often see the grass on small farms
standing about two weeks after We
should have said it ought to have been
cut There Is class of farmers who
will not learn by the experience Of 9TH
ers, and will not begin to cut the grass
any earlier than their grandfathers did.
The old meadows. where the grass Is
thin and largely June grass and daisies
or white weed, need to be cut about
the first of any, both because they are
early, and even the white weed makes
pretty good hay for cows and young
stock if it is cut just as it begins to
blossom. When the blossoms have fall
en- off it makes a very poor hay. When
they are cut early the land can be plow-
ed, fertilized and some other crop put
in or grass sown in nAugust.-Exchange.
