can boast. 1t does not represent q
certain well-defined and constant
type, subject to little or no variation,
but is a veritable Proteus among
noses, constantly changing in size
and form, and going through a mar
velous evolution, from a mere button
of snub nose to a large, almost
trunk-like appendage, overhanging
the mouth. In fact, as Prof. Wieder-
scheim has observed, the nose of the
full-grown male is so large that it OBJ
structs the opening of the mouth and
must be pushed aside to enable the
monkey to take food.
Prof, Wiederscheim has made care
full observations on a large number
of nose monkeys of different ages,
and has discovered that the develop
ment of the animals nose is remark
nose during the early stages of it's de-
velopment.
The accompanying picture gives a
clear idea of the appearance of the
nose monkeys nose. From the be-
ginning the monkeys nose has an
outspoken upward tendency, and it
continues to develop in that direction
until it has reached enormous proper
tions and it's own weight becomes too
great for it. 1t can no longer main
tain its rampant pose, but, without
stopping in its growth, curves down
ward until it hangs down over the
mouth of the animal.
The human nose, from its inception
in the embryonic state to its complete
development, undergoes a strikingly
similar evolution, but fortunately it
stops in most individuals before it
has reached monstrous dimensions.

WINTER CARE FOR Eggs.
me Hens Have Good Warm Ro0st-
ing Place and Quite n Little
Exercise.

Wintering fowls without succurnb-
ing to some dreaded and incurabIa
disease has been a perplexing ques-
ton with many farmer and fancier.
10 winter successfully one must not
have too much light, a good warm
roosting place free from drafts. a
sunny room 70 be used as q scratch
ing shed, to be filled four 20 six
inches deep with bright straw, cut
hay, cut fodder or leaves. Last win
ter. straw being scarce, / had 10 re-
sort to the use of cut fodder. and
find 1t makes an excellent litter to
scratch in.
To winter successfully, one must
keep the fowls busy, either scratch
ing or by tying up heads of cabbage
so they will have to jump up after
it. Clean out the house often, spread
air-slaked lime over the dirt or floor,
and put coal oil on perches each
week with an old paint brush.
For roosts, get three boards about
six inches wide and of length to suit,
bore hole IN each end, then saw
notches one inch deep and two
inches wide on same edge as the
holes are bored. Then take a No. 9
fence wire, place secure in the hole
with one end, then fasten the other
end to rafter Or ioist above, so all
three boards viii be of equal height
from the floor, about 20 inches.
Then place roofing lath 1X2 inches
crosswise of the three six-inch
boards. This makes OF course a
swinging roost, to which some OBJ
iect, but after the fowls get used to
it they will learn to balance them
selves at any disturbance. In clean
ing out the droppings, take out the
1X2 lath and you have nothing in the
way. With what objections it may
have, it beats the old way which is
advocated by some by making stair
step roosts. Most fowls will try to
get on the top perch, sometimes fall
, ing to the floor again. Where roosts
are placed on a level there is no dan
ger of oYercrowding, for they are
willing to roost anywhere.--D. z.
Hathaway, in Farm and Home.

this. it being so much easier-aye,
agreeable-on cold winter morning
to dump the feed in the trough and
hurry back to a warm freside as soon
as possible.
Now, all this trouble can be easily
eliminated, for the most part, BIZ at
taching cover to the back of the
trough, using the leather straps for
the hinges, with a hasp al the front
edge, staple driven into the board of
the pen, and a wooden or iron peg
thrust through it to keep ii up during
the day. as is shown in the accompany
ing illustration.
At night the peg should be pulled out
and the cover allowed to drop down
over the trough. Then anything it
may contain will not freeze very hard,
and snow or dirt which might other
wise be blown in will be kept ont.
Remember, a good wide board, a
basp and staple and about one hours
time are all that is required for the
construction of this valuable device;
valuable in that it will save many
pounds Of meat, to say nothing OF the
-ahorious work of cleaning out frozen
feec'-Frederick 0. Sib.ey, in n. Y

WONDERS OF THE WASP.
In Great Many Ways This Thin
Wasted Insect Is More Wonder
full Than the bee,

Popular interest in the bee has to
a large extent obscured the many de-
lightful characteristics of the wasp,
which is, in its way, quite as deserv-
ing of attention. Indeed the habits
of the so-called thread-waisted wasp.
which builds the mud nests so COM
monty found i'll old outbuildings, are
e fascinating interest. The children
usually call these insects mud
daubers."
The mud of which their nests are
composed is often carried for some
distance, as it is essential for them to
use good, stiff clay.
At the edge of some pond or stream
you may see these insects running
about, continually twitching their
glossy wings, their black backs show
ing a fine steel blue in the strong
summer sunlight.
Some of them are nearly standing
on their heads as they roll sticky lit
tie balls out of the stiff mud with
their strong jaws. With this heavy
load of mud they rise slowly, and hav-
ing gained some height they get their
bearings and fly in a straight line to
their nests.
In this they resemble the bees; in
deed. all the wasps and bees seem to
have wonderful faculty for flying
directly home from any point. The
expression making a bee line" is de-
rived from this habit of the bees and
their close kindred.
When the wasp has gained the place
it has selected for building site she
puts the tiny ball of mud against the
wall of the building and rubs it tight
by moving her head from side to side
very rapidly.
When doing this the insect makes a
low, rapid buzzing sound. This opera
ton is probably performed to insure
the proper texture for the mud, lust
as we work the clay with big wheel
when making brick.
The outer surface of the nest shows
a series of rings with sharply defined
lines between most CT them, but the
interior is always extremely smooth
and almost a perfect cylinder.
While building her nest the insect
is very careful and continually runs
in and out of the tiny cylinder, exam
ming it infinitely with her "feelers."
II rough place is felt on the inner
surface she carefully smooths it out
and rubs it smooth. When the cylin-
der is finished the wasp goes hunting
for spiders.-N. Y. World.

York Herald by a recent expert
menter. The first, shown in figure
No. /, is bent almost to a right angle,
and has the cross section shown in
Fig. No. 2. The cross section dimin-
ishes slightly toward the ends, and the
weight is about 23O grams. The arms
are twisted from the plane like the
sails of windmill, being rotated in
the direction of a right-handed screw.
A boomerang of the second type is
shown in Fig. No. 3. 1t has cross
section similar to that of a boomer
ang of the first type. Its arms, how
ever, are twisted in the opposite direc-
ton, and thus involve left-handed ro-
tation. On both types one side is more
\ rounded than the other.
4 A boomerang of the first type is held
with the more rounded side to the
left and the concave edge forward, ard
is thrown in horizontal direction. As
much rotation as possible is given to
it, but instead of remaining parallel
to its original direction the plane of
rotation has an angular velocity, first
about the direction Of translation, and
second about line in its plane per-
pendicular to this. The effect of the
latter is that the path curls to the
left, while owing TO the former the
plane of rotation inclines over to the
right, e., rotates in the direction of
the hands of a clock facing the
thrower."
After it has described nearly COM
plete circle the boomerang goes more
slowly, and finally falls near the feet
of the thrower. In Figs. Nos. and 5
its fight is illustrated by means of
projections on a horizontal and on a
vertical plane. Until the velocity be-
comes small the uphill path is nearly
straight, but the moment that point
has been reached the weapon starts
to return along a track close to that
of the ascent.
If the thrower wishes the weapon to
describe a second circle in front of
him he must cast it from him with
much greater force, so that after one
circle has been described it may still
have sufficient velocity to make a sec
ond one. Moreover, after the weapon
has described the first circle and while
1t is over the thrower's head the axis
of rotation must point in an upward
direction in front of him, for if it
points behind him the subsequent path
will be behind his back, and figure of
eight will become possible.
If path with a second loop in
front of the thrower is desired, q
boomerang with much twist and we'll
rounded should be chosen, and the
thrower's body, while throwing it,
should lean over to the left.

QUEEREST OF MONKEYS.
What Makes the Animal Peculiarly

Its Big Nose.

The nose of the nose monkey has
been the unique life study of the we'll
known German anatomist, Prof. We'd
erscheim, and he has just published
the results of his investigation.
The nose monkey is found nowhere
but in Borneo, where it was first dis
covered by F. Won Wuemb, a Dutch
scientist. The animal reaches a
height of four to five feet, and in
habits the businesses of the tropical
wilderness of Borneo. The general
appearance of the nose monkey is I'M

anatomists is its nose.

FtIfpinos of San Fernando Trying TO
Keep Out Yankee Business rten.

American enterprise in the Philip
pines is meeting with opposition at
some places where the natives have
dom. He says:
stopped fighting, but are evidently
not ready for Yankee business meth
DDS. One of these places is San Fer
nando, capital of La Union province,
in the Island of Luzon, states the
New York Sun.
The city has a population of about
$4,000 and is Ill miles north of Ma
Mia, with which it is connected by
wagon road. The province is fertile,
raising much rice, corn, tobacco and
sugar cane.
Gold is found in the sands of the
rivers of the province, but it is
coarse. San Fernando has a good
harbor on the western coast of Luz
zon.
Naturally, some of the Americans
in the Philippines have been attract
ed to this fertile part of Luzon,
which is peaceful now, but their re-
ception, in business way, has not
been a hearty one, according to a
correspondent of the Manila Free
1.-The effect of American justice and
discipline is very noticeable in this
province and in adjoining districts.
Everybody is at peace with their
neighbors, and Americans pass
through here often without arms.
THE natives are thoroughly con-
WINGED that bamboo cannons with tin
cans and chunks of barbed wire are
no check TO American soldiers, but
they are stubbornly opposing Ameri-
can occupation and enterprise by re-
fusing to lease or sell vacant land or
lots for building purposes.

who have been trying for more than
a month, two of them for two
months, for a location upon which

presidente is the chief monopolist
and succeeds very well in discourage
ing Americans from locating here.
This place has a fine harbor-the
best there is on the western coast,
with possibly one exception. 1t has
fine natural drainage, is the gateway
to the gold deposits of Benguet and
Lepanto provinces. San Fernando is
the shipping point for the famous
Niguillan tobacco district.

Facts on Hog-Feeding.

Young animals will give more gain
for the same amount of feed than
will older animals. There is no adj
vantage in farmers carrying along
their animals with just enough feed
to keep them alive. 1T is not wise
to have the hogs on scant feed eth
er summer or winter. Swill and
milk will not work well with silage
that combination making an unhal.
anced ration. During the winter
season some of our best feeders
make corn one-third to one-half oil
the ration, using swill with ground
peas and oats for the balance of the
ration. One feeder that we know OF
makes his swill of milk and mid.
dlings, making thin mixture. Into
barrel of this is thrown a shovel
full of hardwood ashes.-Farmers
