FORESTS AND FRESHETS.
Woods Were as Great Before Trees
Wore Cut Down ms They Have
Been Since.

After all, the decreasing of the
country is not responsible for the
floods. There were more forests half
century ago along the watersheds
OF some of the tributaries of the up
per Mississippi than there are now,
Notwithstanding the tree planting
which the late j. Sterling Morton
started on the Nebraska, Kansas and
Iowa plains, says the St. Louis Globe
Democrat. A very high reach of
water was scored in the Mississippi
at st. Louis in 1911 and 1896 Proba bly,,
although this is not certain, the river
was higher at this point in those
years than II will be in 1903. In 1875
the rivers Of the west were on such
q boom that that date Is called the
"year Of the great waters" There is
not much satisfaction for the resi-
dents along the Missouri and the up
per Mississippi to know that these
rivers more than once in the past
reached higher stage than they are
likely TO closely approach this year.
But this fact tells us that the persons
who have been removing the forests
are not solely responsible for the
freshets. These occurred before the
axman made his appearance, although
the extension of the area of settle
ment makes the floods Of the present
day vastly more destructive than were
those of 40 or so years ago. The me-
cessity for the invention of some
means whereby the surplus waters Of
the spring and early summer months
can be stored so as to prevent de-
struction then and to be used later on
In the season is more urgent than It
ever was in the past.

Resumption Of The Short Course IN Agriculture
in 1904.

The Short Course in Agriculture,
which has been suspended for the past
tour years, will be resumed in 1904,
beginning Jan. 9th, and closing March
goth. This is a thoroughly practical
course cf twelve weeks, designed to
meet the wants of those who cannot
afford the time or money necessary
for the four years collegiate course
and yet desire preparation for their
work than can be acquired on the
farm alone. The studies of the
course, for the most part, relate to the
principles and practice of approved
methods of modern Agriculture. Any
student who has acquired an ordinary
common school education may take
the course with profit, and for the
present no entrance examination is
required. A registration fee Of Sc 90
is the only charge made by the
College.
THE CREAMERY COURSE FOR 1904.
1t is confidently expected that the
new Dairy Building will be completed
in ample time for the Creamery
Course of 1904. The building will
accommodate class of one hundred,
and will enable the course to be given
under much more favorable conditions
than at any previous time.
The Course begins Jan. 9th, and
closes March and, 1904. A registra-
tion fee of 5000 is the only charge
made by the College. No entrance
examination is required.
1t is believed that there are many
more than a hundred creamerymen IN
Pennsylvania who will desire to take
advantage of these enlarged oppor-
Turtles, and hence early application
is urged.

A SUGGESTIVE PLAN.
To Promote Interest In Grange Work
and Increase Membership.

To Promote Interest In Grange Work
and Increase Membership.
Sometimes it seems to be necessary
to introduce new methods for awak-
ening a tagging interest in grange at
tendance. and grange work. While con-
tests between members or committees
may not always be commendable, yet
so good an authority on grange work
as Mrs. Sarah G. Baird, master of Min
nesota state grange, has recommend
ed the following, which was tried with
good results in Minnesota grange:
Two ladies chose sides as In a spell
ing match. The contest lasted three
months, with two meetings each
month. The side beaten furnished a
good supper. The secretary acted as
umpire and remarked that care must
be taken not to do anything which
would cause the members to get too
much credit or be offended. The sides
alternated in furnishing a programme,
each having chance to score a maxi
mum Of 160 points at one meeting. In
addition to this, the attendance Of each
person at a meeting counted 10. The
side which had the most at roll call
got 80. The roll was called at $50 p.
IN. An application counted 60. An
essay counted %; crop report by
farmer counted 20. He could secure
four men to speak on it with credit
of points each. In a similar manner
a lady could write an essay and Sc
cure four ladies to discuss it. Select
reading counted 10, recitation 10, Il
test brought sixty-fve applications for
membership. The plan can be varied
to suit conditions.

CLEANING THE EGGS.
No Other Little job That Can he Done
Around the Farm Yields Better
Cash Results.

II is remarkable how many soiled
eggs may be seen in the country
stores and elsewhere. Many make
no attempt to clean them and many
more do not know how to do it prop
erly when they make the attempt.
Stained and smeary eggs hurt the
sale to a marked degree, as it is not
only matter Of tastefulness, but it
gives the eggs a stale look.
Eggs all of one color and perfect
ly clean make an attractive appear
ance and will readily bring several
cents more per dozen than a dirty
lot, particularly when quality goes
with appearance and the one is gen.
orally an indication of the other. An
egg is improperly cleaned when it
Is wet too much and not rubbed dry
with a dry cloth. Some, when they
see spots of dirt on eggs put them
In pan of water and wash them
like potatoes. There Is, on the fresh
ly laid egg, a mucilaginous covering
which gives it velvety appearance
peculiar to new eggs. Water re-
WIS, tuc cSS nave an
older appearance and destroying it's
keeping qualities, as this covering
makes the she'll impervious to air.
An egg, then, if it is not much soiled,
should merely be moistened where
necessary and rubbed dry. If the
blemish is in the nature of stain, a
little powdered securing brick will
help and If this is not effective vine
gar may be used in addition. In this
way any stains may be removed from
an egg. Sometimes they have to be
put in water, but do not do it unless
it is necessary, and then rub dry
afterwards. If this Is not done they
will look soiled and dingy. Eggs
should be collected twice or more
times day.-G. Davis, in Ohio

THE POPE'S GODCHILDREN.
Many Added to the Long List on His
Ninety-Third Anniversary
March 2 Last.

Leo XIII. is, as everyone knows,
the godfather of young King Al.
fonso of Spain. But the latter is
by no means the only godchild of
the holy father, who announced his
intention of acting as sponsor to
every child born in Rome on March
last. which was the twenty-fifth
anniversary of his succession to the
papacy, says a London paper. The av-
erage number of births per day in
Rome does not exceed 35. But for some
extraordinary reason there were no
less than 90 births recorded on March
g. 80 being curiously enough the num-
ber of years which have elapsed since
Leo KILLS own birth. A most search
ing inquiry was instituted in order to
ascertain whether there had really
been as many as SO births in Rome on
the day In question. But the investiga-
tion established the fact beyond a
doubt that the figures were correct and
authentic, and consequently the pope
has 93 new godchildren, among them
set of triplets, two boys and a girl,
who have received the names Of
Romulus, Remus and Roma, and each
OF these SO children have received from
him complete outfit and a sum of 100
lire.

LONGEVITY OF QUAKERS.
Estimated Duration of the Average
Friends Life Given as Fifty
Eight Years.

The longevity of Quakers was dis
cussed by group of Philadelphians
the other day, says the Philadelphia
Record. A physician of Quaker de-
scent said: st is undoubtedly true
that Friends are among the longest
lived persons in the world Statis-
tics, laboriously and accurately col
lected, prove this clearly. The sta
tistics were compiled here in Phil
adelphia in 1860. They showed the
duration of the average Friends
life to be So years. There were liv-
ing at that time in this city 30
Friends who were over ss years old,
and there were so other Friends
whose years aggregated 5,25S. These
persons, that is to say, were, on the
average, s5 years old. Marked long
evity among our people proves how
wholesome and beneficial our rules
of living are. The abstemiousnes s,
the early hours, the avoidance Of
worldly excitement-these were the
things that multiplied so remark
ably our forefathers' years"

WOMEN WHO WEAR TROUSERS.
squad of Feminine Gardeners in Kew
Gardens Work In Bifurcated
Garments.

At Kew gardens, in London, a small,
intelligent, capable and scientific
squad of practical women gardeners
is employed. They labor in the pot
ting sheds, WELD the pruning shears,
study fertilizers and wear trousers.
IN summer their neither bifurcated
garments are of dark blue linen or
brown, as the wearer prefers. They
have adopted long breeches, strapped
close to the leg below the knees and
about the ankles to permit unimpeded
stepping in and out among close-set
plants. A blue shocked frook loosely
gathered in by a broad belt at the
waist forms the remainder of their
very sensible uniform. The public
when visiting the famous gandens
easily catches glimpse of them.

MOVABLE NEST BOXES.
They Are Easily Taken Down for
Cleaning and the Hens Seem
to Like Them.

Various arrangements for nesting
boxes in the henhouse have been
suggested, but the best is, for all gen
eral purposes, the plain box hung on
two nails SO that it can be taken
down easily. The groceryman's box
pile will furnish an abundance of ma
terial to select from, as the boxes
do not need to be uniform in size
About 12 inches square and five
inches deep is what is wanted. Nail
two cleats to the back, allowing them
to project six inches above the box.
Through these bore holes by which
the box is hung on two tenpenny
nails driven in the walls of the build
ing.
The merit of these nests lies in
The Columbian. [volume] (Bloomsburg, Pa.) 1866-1910, 1903-07-02

the ease with which they can be
taken down for cleaning, etc. About
once month they are taken to some
convenient place to receive an appli-
cation of insecticide and new filing.
One part of crude carbolic acid and
two parts of kerosene make an ex-
cellent mixture for disinfecting, and
for repelling vermin. Where boxes
are stationary they are inconvenient
to take care of, and contents are apt
to become foul and the breeding
place of lice.
These movable boxes are Just the
thing where hens are used for incu-
baton. When a hen becomes broody
eggs are given to her, and at night
the box, hen and all, is carried to an
apartment of the brooder house,
where she can serve out her time I'M
molested. and at the same time get
off to take food and exercise.
The boxes should be all made uni
form as to distance apart of the
holes by which they are suspended,
so that box may be removed from
one pair Of nails to another pair any
where else.
I have torn down the long nest
rows and the patent "hide away
boxes" which are said to tempt the
hen to lay few extra eggs, and now
use the movable boxes. excepting a
few trap nests in the breeding pen,
where it is serviceable to know the
best layers.-E. Grant Davis, in N. Y.
