FOR H CHILDREN


One day Il lady who was riding alonG
one OF the mountainous roads of Scot
land in a coach saw ii lad on the road
barefooted and seemingly very foot
sore.
She asked the coachman 10 take him
up and paid the fare for the weary lad.
When the coach reached the end Of its
journey the kind lady found that the
poor lad was bound for Liverpool to
offer himself US a sailor.
Twenty years afterward ON the same
road a sea captain who was on a coach
saw an old lady walking YEARLY along,
and he made the coachman pull up his
horses. He put the old lady inside.
saying, Il will pay for her"
When they next changed horses the
old lady thanked the captain. For"
said she, II am too poor to pay for a
ride now"
The captain told her that he always
felt for those who had to walk as she
had been doing and said, II remember
twenty years & near this very place
/ was a poor lad walking along the
road, and a kind lady paid for me to
ride,
"Ah," said she, II am that lady. But
things have changed. and ! am now a
poor woman"
WELL" said the captain, God has
prospered me so that I can live well
and help others besides. / allow you
$50 a year as long as you i've"
The old lady burst into tears and
gratefully accepted the sailors offer.

Leaf Miners.

III you are interested in nature study,
rs all children should be. you will find
very interesting as well as instructive
lessons in the most ordinary places.
Take the leaf miner, for example.
Perhaps you have noticed some leaves
on q tree or bush with little gray
stained spots or lines on them. You
can v e distinguish different shaped
stains. sometimes a long soil, like a
snake. These are s~erpentine mines. 9th
en- leaves will have a trumpet mine
that is, n shaped very much like a
trumpet. beginning at the small end or
mouthpiece. then getting larger and
curying slightly.
These mines are made by a tiny cat
erpillar that passes some Of its life be-
tween the two skins of a leaf. eating
out a home for itself. 1t starts with
just one little room. but after a hearty
breakfast the house Is somewhat lAr-
ger. Dinner adds another room, and so
on until It is completed. BY that time
the little caterpillar is very tired, so it
goes to sleep. but wakes up again i'm a
little while greatly surprised. for it
now has a pair of wings. with which it
dies away. Sometimes the caterpillar
crawIs into the earth and takes its nap
there.
The next time you ONE across a leaf
miners home look at 1t carefully. for
you may find the little fellow at work.

Experiments at the Illinois station to
compare the amount Of dirt falling from
washed and unwashed udders during
the process Of milking are reported as
follows: 1t was determined after sew
eral trials with three different mixers
on thirty cows that 1T requires an av-
erage Of four and one-half minutes to
milk d COW.
A glazed dish eleven inches in diane
ter, the size of an ordinary milk pail,
was placed in the top Of a pail and held
under q cows udder in the same posi-
ton as when milking. For four and
one-half minutes the mixer then went
through motions similar to those in
milking, but without drawing any milk.
The amount Of dirt which fell into
the dish during the operation was Of
course approximately the same rs
would have gone into the milk during
the milking process. The dirt caught
In the dish was then brushed into a
small glass weighing tube, the udder
washed and the process repeated.
The dirt which fell from the washed
udder was carefully brushed into a
weighing tube. Both tubes were then
placed ia a desiccator and after drying
t~wenty-four hours. were accurately
weighed on Il chemical balance. Sixty
trials were made at different seasons
OF the year.
With uddcrs that were apparently
clean it was found that an average Of
three and one-haIf times as much dirt
fell from the unwashed udders as from
the same udders after they were wash
ed. With soiled udders the average
was twenty-five and with muddy nd
ders the average was n~inety-four times
as much dirt from the nnwashed I'D
ders as from the same udders after
washing.
