form their functions, the strength
lets down, health gives way, and
disease sets up, Kodol Dyspepsia

Patent Hens Nest,

Poultrymen who are looking for q
means to keep hens from breaking or
eating their eggs will be interested in
a Callfornian's invention. The ma
chine he has devised consists Of hens
nest and series of pockets or re-
ceptacles, with an automatic mechan-
ish which presents each Of the pock-
cts in turn beneath the opening in the
bottom of the nest to receive the new
ly-laid eggs. In the passage through
which the egg falls to the pocket Is a
trigger, which releases a rotary frame
carrying the pockets. so that, as soon
as the egg reaches the bottom of its
receptacle, an empty pocket replaces
1t beneath the opening Of the nest. In
addition to preventing the hens from
smashing or eating their eggs, this ar

Diversafled Production Pave.

Many a farmer is poor to-day after
ten, twenty or thirty years of hard
work, because he has confined him
self to single line Of production, and
that line on overproduced and conse-
uuently a proftless one. To this may
be attributed much of the downright
poverty that has befallen the older
farmers who are still in the field. The
dairy farmer should not depend upon
milk alone, nor the hop, bean or to-
bacco farmer upon hops, beans or to-
bacco alone. Each farmer, naturally
and properly, should have main line,
determined by his location. his soil
and his markets, but with his main
line he can have side lines that will
give him something to sell every month
in the year and thus give him hold on
several classes of consumers. The
farms that pay are largely those de-
voted to diversified production, while
the loudest complaints of Improbable
ness come largely from those who are
distinctively single line' farmers

The Huns and Vandals Of the insect

author Of 'Tangweera" gives this de-
scription of them:
l have never found where these ants
lie concealed when not engaged in for

year, just before or after heavy rain,
they come out of the forest in millions,
advancing in a solid column, which
may cover an acre of ground Some
times the column may separate in divis-
ions, one going in one direction, one in
another. Each travels in a fixed direc-
ton, in which 1t is guided by the guards,
distinguished by enormous heads and
threatening mandibles. who march
ahead of the main body, as if to recon-
hotter the ground.
The army follows after its officers
and rummages everything as it ad.

considerable heights, searching in all

that, no matter how long the grass

Swine Outlook,

Swine growers have the prospect or

and nriceg are comparatively high.

Of feed, it will require considerable
length of time to bring the supply o.

This means a high range OF prices 9
regular and increasing demand, ana
lower costs of production of pork. The
farmers in the dairy region ought to
ba able to see in this state of AFFAIRS
chance for them to do good stroke
of business in the growing OF swine as
q side line. They can realize any
where from 20 to so cents per hundred
vaioht for their skim milk and butter
milk. besides obtaining for their but
ter fat enough money to cover the cost
of making the milk and to net tnem
a profit. The cooperating dairy farm
ers who next fall will have ten to hfty
fat swine to sell at a good round price
will be in a position to understand
the possibilities Of profit which they
have been ignoring for years. Swine
will be gold next fall, unless all pres
ent signs fail, and skim milk-fed swine
will represent the greatest possible
profit to the producers.-NeW Xork

for horses and, undoubtedly, If one
Is confined to but two kinds of feed
these are better than any others. It
should be remembered, however, that
horses are quite as partial to variety

cutters are in reality nothing but set
of circular saws, and their action is
exactly the same, saving the grass
blades off as the mower is pushed over
the lawn. The saw spindles are pro-
vided with ball bearings, thus re-
ducing the friction to minimum, and
by doing away with the necessity for
running the mower over high grass
more than once the machine should
save much labor for its owner. The

Marvelu Of Corn Culture.

Corn breeding Is a modification OF
live stock breeding and follows the
same general laws and principles. It
is the application Of principles Of plant
and animal breeding to the corn plant.
The per cent Of sugar in the sugar beet
has been increased from per cent to
10 per cent. The ordinary beet was
improved by seed selection, so that an
enormous industry has been built up
and new source Of sugar given to
the world. This has been done with a
plant which seeds once in two years.
Corn produces crop every year, a
single seed producing a return of over
thousand fold. From this great num-
Der of offspring, varying in size, shape,
color and composition. selection can
be made which will develop any fea-
ture Of the seed or plant. By contin-
ued selection these valuable attributes
can be fixed in the characteristics of
the plant and the usefulness and i'm
portance Of the crop increased. To IL
lustrate the point: We have been able,
by selecting ears having long shanks,
to increase the length Of the shank
nearly two feet in five years selection.
By selecting ears with tall stalks we
have been able to increase the height
Of the stalk almost three feet in five
years. BY selecting ears from plants
having wide leaves we have been able
to increase the average width Of the
leaf. and by selecting ears from stalks
having narrow leaves we have been
able to decrease the width of the leaf.

OTILLIE FJoRD ON THE REEF.

The schooner Otillie Fjord which ar
rived late yesterday afternoon from
Eureka with cargo of lumber got
aground on the reef very near the spot
where the S. S. Clavering went ashore
over month ago. The cause for the
Fjord hitting the reef was the master
going to close inshore to anchor. The
bell buoy failed to ring and, in con-
sequence, he was deceived as to his
proximity to the reef. The tug Fear
less put on hawser and began pulling
at the boat but the line parted. Later
she got a line onto the boat. The
Fjord came off this morning at high
tide. She does not appear to have
been seriously damaged.
