MONKEYS GOOD LUCK
DlMiNUTIVE SIMIAN FINDS BABOON
IN A GOOD HUMOR.
Ordinarily Fierce Captive Fails to Resent
an Intrusion Into His Cags-Invader
of His Home May Live Until He
Gets Gay

If the babboon is terror and the
monkey just monk, and the monkey
gets his freedom and adopts the ba-
boon's bunk. according to the keepers
there ought to be fight, where the
monkey'd play McGovern and get
licked way out of sight. But that's
what didn't happen; for once the ex-
perts fail; baboon and monkey didn't
fight, and thereby hangs the tale.
The new primate house, commonly
known as the monkey house, at the
New York geological gardens was
opened to the public recently. All day
there was hustling match going on
to transfer the "primates" to their
new quarters. AS rule the monkeys
arrive each in separate compartment
OF the box. and the attendants ripped
compartment open expecting to find
only one animal In it. Before anyone
realized what had happened there was
very small monkey loose in the
monkey house. All hands made a
grab for him, but he was lively
specimen. He dashed across the room,
climbed up wire netting and perched
at the top. There he spied a cage
containing one of the two Gelada
balloons. The bars of this cage are
farther apart than those of any of
the other cages, and the little monkey
looked to this cage for salvation. He
squeezed through the bars, ran to
the back of the cage, sat down and
looked to the big babboon as if for
protection
The Gelada baboon is about four
feet tall and is bad. He has such an
ugly temper that he is confined alone,
and the officials say he is the fiercest
animal in the park. Even the keepers
keep at safe distance from him, and
say they would rather enter the cage
of a leopard or tiger than get at
close quarters with this baboon When
the monkey took refuge in that cage
therefore, Curator Ditmars and his
assistants expected brief but fierce
clash, ending with the decease of the
monkey.
When the little fellow entered the
baboon looked at him suspiciously,
then walked over toward him. Its
all over said the keeper, but it was
not The monkey stared at the ba-
boon and the baboon stared at the
monkey. Mr.. Baboon raised his arm,
as If to strike, but the monkey never
fiinched; he made goo goo eyes instead
and the baboon retreated
All the afternoon the onlookers were
in momentary expectation of an on
slaught, but it didn't come. When the
TIME arrived for the baboon's dinner
every one thought that surely the
monkeys tiLle had come, for the ba-
boon is especially savage if disturbed
at meal time. When the dinner was
showed into. the cage the monkey and
the baboon made dive for 1t and both
began to eat. The baboon stopped and
eyed the monkey for moment, and
went on with his meal The keepers
said well. I'll be darned," or some
thing like that
Assistant Curator Ditmars said that
it would be easy to take the monkey
from the cage, but the two animals
seemed to get along so we'll that he
had decided to leave them together
for few days. And so the monk and
the baboon are living there at peace,
and will, unless the monk gets gay
then look for his decease.-New York

AN EDUCATION AT HONE.

Boys and girls BAR receive a most
valuable education in agriculture at
home through a home course of
reading. In these course standard
books on all phases of the great farm
industry are used. Thousands are
availing themselves of this great adj
vantage. A home course of reading
during the long evenings, espe-
cially by those who expect TO spend
their life work in general farming,
or in certain s~pecialties, suoh as
truck farming, fruit growing, cotton
production or grain raising, should
bring one into an enthusiastic love
of his calling. The study may also
be supplemented by vieiting success

powerful ~disinfectants are corrosive

use of all other disinfectants are
either Objectionable or dangerous.
A point in favor of the washing
powder ia that the longer it is allowed
TO remain in the floor of the cream-
cry, the more germs it will kill, at
the same time it be employed in
many instances where steam OF hot
water is not available Agood plan,
the station advises, is to first rinse
the can free of all milk By the use of
cold water, then pour in moderately
warm water and add a solution of
the washing powder, thoroughly
shake it so that the solution reaches
every nook and corner; then rinse
with clean water. Tinware cleaned
by this method will be as thoroughly
sterilized, the station claims, as
though turned over a jet of steam
for a few seconds.
The choice of washing powders is
more a matter Of price, according to
the stations experiments, and it is
doubtful If there Is one with any
more merit than a number of others.
Washing powders should, however,
never be bought in large quantities,
as the free Rlkali forms a carbonate
in contact with air which decreases
it's value. Large oreameries might
buy by the keg, but in small dairies
or for household use, it is better to
buy in packages at wholesale prices
by taking say 100 pounds. If these
packages are air tight, they ought tc
keep for months.
Experiments conducted with wash
ing soda showed shat it is just as de-
sirable al washing powder, except
that the crystals when coming in
contact with the Dir crumble away
TO a white powder which hinders,
rather than helps, the washing by
rising to the surface.
Contrary 80 the general belief,
baking soda is not an effective disin
fectant. 1t has the power of destroy
ing the sour odor caused by sour
milk, by mixing with the acid which
causes 1t, yet it does not cleanse the
vessel. It had the same effect, the
station adds, as the placing of per
fume on an unwashed person. M.

SHOULD FARMERS ORGANIZERS

This question has been often an
swered. It is always answered in
the affirmative. Every one is willing
to admit that they ought TO be or
ganized. Then why are they not
organized? No answer can be given
to this except that it is the force of
habit that prevents. They have been
so long pulling each man for himself
that they have learned to stand
alone. When the country was new
and the homes far apart there was
some excuse for this. But nov many
changes have come. Population is
getting denser, and there is neces-
sarily more dependence upon n an
other. Competition is sharper. OPP
position is felt more keenly. The
struggle for existence is getting
keener. All other trades have not
only felt the need for organization,
but they have organized. And with
out intending it, these organizations
all work more or less against the
farmer: Self-preservation and self,
protection make this result.
Manufacturers combine in order.to
sell their goods at higher figures,
Merchants combine so as to buy
cheaper from the farmer and at the
same time sell higher to the farmer.
Now there is but one remedy left
for the farmer, and that is to COM
bine to protect themselves both in
buying and selling. The question
of selling did not use to formerly
trouble the farmer. He was only
concerned to produce as much as
possible. But now the selling is as
important if not more so, than the
production. The truth that no man
liveth unto himself is getting more
and more apparent as the facilities
for trade increase.
There + two great questions
which now confront the farmer.
First, How can Iproduoe the cheap,
est and the best? Second, How can
1 sell TO the best advantage? In the
present complex condition of affairs
no one man can sanely and satisfao
torily answer these. True combined
intelligence all is needed to answer
and keep these questions answered
rightly.
All great organizations are made
of numerous smaller ones. So the
only effective way will be for the
tanners of each community to get up
small local clubs, and then these
clubs must keep in touch with each
each other. In the local clubs they
can discuss the local conditions and
needs. They can decide what and
how much to plant 80 as to avoid
crowding the market with any single
crop at any particular time. The
benefit of constant interchange of
ideas along these lines will be very
great, and grow as the thing is kept
up. Such clubs when we'll conduo.
ted are real schools. Reading, hear
ing, thought and discussion are the
chief sources of education. If to
these we add a habit of close obser.
