Good Value in Hominy Crop.

Hominy as used for human food rep
resents the hard part of the corn kernel.
The separation of the hulls, germ, and
some of the gluten and starch, which
is said to be brought about solely by
the aid Of machinery and steam, con-
stitutes what is known as hominy meal
or chop, and is really the soft part Of
the corn kernel. Considerable of this
material is at the present time being
sold in New England. The experiment
station at Amherst, Mass, has recently
made a collection of a number of sam
pies, and Prof. L. B. Lindsay writes
that the material is kiln dried and con-
tains several per cent less water than
cornmeal, nearly two per cent more
protein, and four Or five per cent more
fat Experiments have shown 1t to
have about ten per ceAt greater feeding
value than cornmeaf. 1t can generality
be bought for less money than the lat
ter, and it is worthy the attention Of
feeders, who find it necessary to use
starchy feeds. -Massachusetts Plough
man.

The Day of Small Farms.

Except in the far West the tendency
is toward the small farms, and it is
certainly step in the right direction.
In the East the majority of farms
are under 100 acres, and in many sec
tons more money is being made from
thirty acres than 100 Particularly is
this the case where farms are located
near cities or large towns. This same
state of affairs will gradually come
about in the West as the population
increases. If one has large numbers
Of cows and horses. so that there is an
abundance of fertilizer and plenty Of
help to handle crops which can be sold
at profit, there is doubtless profit in
the large farm, but where it comes to
the choice between using the fertilizer
for fifty acres, common sense teaches
us that it would be best to put the fer
tiliZer and labor on the smaller area
even though the rest Of the farm stood
idle. Around some of the great cities
of the country are truckers FARMS or
rather. gardens, where the land value
is high, on which are raised crops of
greater value to the acre than are
raised on ten acres of some Of the large
farms in the country. These plots are
evidences of what can be done under
the intensive system of farming, which
is based on the principle of a small
area we'll titled. If one is located near
good markets it will certainly pay him
to look into the subject of concentrat--
ing his energies on a small area.

He didn't The squire himself did
that at Drakeworth church some two
months later, when Miss Drake--un-

of an artful little conspiracy between
her father and her gallant admirer-

TO wy OLD HAT,

And thou has clasped my marble
brow,
ana daily sunk still deeper down
Until thy brim doth hide me now
From lofty sneer and worldly frown
Ihou once vert blaak-who now art
brown,
But what care for aught of that?
Thou art thy owners rightful crown.
My tTusty friend-my ancient hat!
And [ must buy another tile.
To catch the scoffer's ouizzine
glance,
with modern crown of pattern vile,
Distorted brim-just born of France.
1t will not fit me well, perchance:
Zen you were years before you sat
In ease my beauty to enhance,
My trusty friend-my ancient haiti
And l must hold it on with care:
Unwilling tend it's painful gloss:
Must watch it with affrighted glare.
Lest greedy hands procure it's loss.
The winds will thy usurper toss,
Some ruthless wheel will crush it
fiat,
I've seen thee meath the carts that
cross,
My trusty friend-my ancient hat!
L'ENVOI
All me! Too much this haunting fear
Before I give thee to the cat
III wear thee for another year,
My trusty friend-my ancient hat!

Ants Sense of Smell.

II is by smell that ants distinguish
ono another. 1t is by smell that they
tell friend from foe. This fact was
nrettv conclusivetv proved some time
900 at the Academy of Natural
Sciences.
An official there collected some war
ring ants in glass jar. They
fought on the inside the jar just as
before. He dropped in among them
a pellet of paper saturated with CO.
logne. and the effect was instantan-
eous. The combatants parted, re-
leased each other and in moment or
two began to burrow together in per-
feet harmony. The cologne odor Kill
ed every other smell and hence the
ants were not aware Of the presnce
of any other enemies.
In another experiment two boxes
were used, boxes communicating by
means of a glass tube. In the first
box warning ants were placed, ana
among them, as before cologne was
dropped. Again the cologne restored
harmony. But some of the ants trav-
eled through the glass tube to the Sec
ond box, and here, if they were IN
friendly tribes, they resumed their
fight instantly, for here the odor OF
the cologne was not perceptl0le.
These fighting ants were now put In
the open air, and .neir battle continu-
ed. but when there was laid among
them a feather dipped in perfume they
ceased to fight at once.-Philadelp
Record.

nianos are now made to Indians.

The Hog and the Earth.

There is an affinity between the hog
and the earth that should not be ig-
nored. Floors are all right to feed on,
but hogs confined on floors are in an
unnatural position and will not do well.
Floors are especially repugnant to
brood sows both before and after far
rowing. But remember that mud 10
worse than a hard floor. Hogs should
have a bed on dry earth to sleep on,
and they can do very well without
mud at any time

The Bees in Early Spring.

In looking over colonies early in the
spring choose warm, sunshiny day,
and be careful not to chill the brood
by long exposure. If you open a hive,
know just what you want, and do it
expeditiously, and close up the hive
again. If you have the bees packed in
chaff. do not be in hurry to remove
the packing, as the bees spread the
brood and arrange matters for the tenn.

THE SLEEPING SICKNESS"


 The British authorities in Uganda are making great efforts to discover the source of the terrible sleeping sickness" which periodically decimates the natives of that territory and other parts of Africa, and. if possible. to find means of preventing its spread. Tn May, last year, the Royal society dis patched a commission to Entebbe, Uganda. for the purpose of investigat- ing the disease, and early this year a second commission was sent from England for the same purpose.
 The conclusions of the joint com mission are now available through the publication of a progress report. This shows that the disease is. caused by q minute parasite in the blood, which could not be conveyed from man to man. Consequently suspicion fell upon the tsetse fly, species of which, similar to the one prevalent in Zulu land. was found abundant i'll Uganda, and experiments are now in progress to settle whether the Uganda tsetse carries in it's blood the identical para site which is peculiar to the disease, and whether it can pass. it to an ani- nal
 One rather tentative experiment seems to show. this. and it is expected that the truth or fa1sity of the theory will soon be determined
