Explaining Some Things You Have
Noticed.
Editor Of The Progressive Farmer:

Editor Of tt Progressive Farmer
Almost every farmer has gone into
his fields some sharp fall morning af-
ter the first killing frost to find parts
of the vegetation killed, while patches
here and there were seemingly unaf-
fected. 1t is often the case that
within a single acre a dozen small
may be found unframed by the
nights temperature, while all
around the injury is fatal. There are
several reasons which contribute to
such a result, the principal one be-
ing the difference in the radiating
powers of the various soils that make
up the ~out-crop. Dark soils radiate
heat more rapidly at night than light
ones, and heat up correspondingly
quicker under the influence of the
sums rays. The character of foil
age of the plants, the amount of
moisture in the air, the presence of
clouds and the elevation of the field,
all have their effect. It is well known
that frost is much more likely to oc-
u On a still night than on a windy
night or one which is cloudy. Every
farmer also knows that the lowest
temperatures are reached in the val
leys at night, because the cool air
nearest the earth, being heavy, seeks
the lowest levels and flows down the
hillside into the valley. Every truck
farmer should take these factors in
to consideration in deciding what he
will plant on his land, giving the
most favorable locations to the plants
most susceptible to injury from
frost. TODD.

When a youth of eighteen, he went

Storm he was a miserably home
sick lad. He sat in a corner of the

his eyes dim with tears.
ct realized" he says, chat I was
for the first time quite friendless
and alone. / thought of my dear
mother praying for me at home, and
I longed to turn back and ask her
forgiveness for any pain l had
caused her. Even now l eve take
a railway journey at night without
recalling the dismal heartache of
that midnight journey to London"
Almost daily during this early
struggle did he receive a letter from
her, always full of loving ~instruc-

Tt will roar out like thunder2
Answer-The church bell.
Out came the Lord of Landless,
Took her up handless,
Rode away horseless.
Answer-"Her" is a snowflake, and

raw meat in the morning.
Answer-Only your shoes.
What is it I've got and would like

But if I-should lose it I'd do worse
than cry?
Answer-His bald head.
When I wasn't looking for it I found
it;
When I found it I sat down to look
for it;
And when I looked at it I couldn't
get it,
And therefore I carried it home with
me.
Answer-A thorn in the foot.
Between two woods / travelled
Along a narrow track;

When / travelled the same way

And all night long it sits by my bed.

Love for Mother.

Robert Buchanan had n deep
enthusiasm-his mother. She was
always young in her appearance, but
he regarded her to the end of her
life as Astounding even in girlish
charms. He could never realize that
she was growing old. In looking at
her, even when she was close upon
eighty, he saw the soft blue eyes and
golden hair which he had loved long
ago.
81 cannot imagine my mother as
DID," he said again and again the day
after she died. 81 do not feel that
she is dead, for 1 cannot imagine
the world without her."

A Family Of OpOssumS.

The first young oppossums / ever
saw we're in their mothers pouch,
which is one of the most interest
ing stages of their development, to
my way of thinking. I was examin-
ing a hollow tree In a forest in the
South, when I discovered an old
opossum curled up, apparently asleep.
The sight was not a new one, and l
should probably have left her to fin
ish her nap had I not caught sight of
a little white head, with a long, point
ed snout and a pair of beady black
eyes, which peered at me from be-
meath the larger animal. This was
entirely another matter, so | took the
old lady opossum gently by the tail,
and lifted her out of the tree. As
1 did so she growled angrily, and
opened her mouth in a horrible grin,
displaying a mouthful of white teeth
of many sorts and sizes. But I
knew that this was done chiefly for
effect, for an opossum will rarely
bite unless you put your hand in its
mouth, or in some other way give it
a good chance to get hold of you.
Her scaly, muscular tail squirmed in
my hand like a snake, and before I
got her quite to the ground I dropped
her. Slight as was the fall, it killed
her, apparently, for there she lay,
with lips drawn back, and curled up
in the very attitude of death. But
she was only playing possum," and
as I had seen the trick played before.
I was not deceived. Not a young one
was in sight; even the n which had
betrayed to me the presence of the
family had retired to the DEPTHS of
his mothers pouch. So / rolled her
over, and putting in my hand, drew
out the babies n by one. There
were twelve of them, and when I laid
them on the grass, they crawled
slowly about, opening their mouths
to yawn or to give vent to the ex-
plosive little squeaks, which sounded
more like suppressed sneezing than
anything I can think of. Very soon
they found their mother, and began
to climb upon her body, holding to
her long gray fur with their hand
like paws. When I tried to detach
n little fellow it was amusing to
see the efforts he made to retain his
position. He grasped a tuft of long
hair in each of his tiny fists, seized
another tuft in his mouth, and twined
his flexible tail firmly around anoth-
er. Left to his own devices, his
mother need have had no fear of his
falling of.-Ernest Harold Baynes,
in the December Woman's Home
Companion.
