Submarine Boat For sponge Fishers.
 The latest submarine boat is the i'm vention Of French priest in Algeria and is designed to enable the sponge fishery there to be carried on without exposing the native divers to the many dangers of their occupation, says the Chicago Tribune. The inventor Is Abbe Raoul, vicar general of the Tunis cathe- dral. The boat, which has an ingenious attachment Of grapnels for gathering the sponges, has been tried and found an entire success. It was built at Ga lette. The metal of it's hull is sheathed with wood for the double purpose of protecting 1t from the action Of the sea water and from damage by collision with objects below water. It Is about sixteen feet in length and is provided with three screws, one at the stern be- ing for propulsion, the other two, one on either side, enabling the boat to turn round in its own. length.

A cat owned by the manager of an English restaurant recently noticed a mouse which had contrived to find it's way into a cupboard among a lot of wine glasses. Evidently the cat saw that to capture the mouse in that re- treat would be a somewhat difficult task, co. jumping on the top of the cupboard, from plate there he gently precipi- tated piece of cheese on the f1oor--and waited. For over an hour the cats eyes were glued on the decoying mor- sel, and not in vain. At last the mouse could resist the temptation no long CT, and made rush for the cheese, when the problem which the cat had seem- ingly pronounced to himself found a solution and the mouse was caught.

LIghtning Burned BIr Hore.

Lightning burned a chimney hole in a hayrick on Mrs. Allison's farm, on West Grand river, near Grant City, Mo. The rick was not far from the house, and couple of boys, seeing it smoking, went to 1t at once. They found in the top of the rick small hole, from which the smoke was issuing, and, throwing a wisp of hay into the hole, snothered the fire. When the end of the rick was cut off 1t was found that the lightning had burned a hole from the top to the bottom of the stack about two inches in diameter.

bending the thumb down, and I have
seen them with thumbs nearly two
inches across, the result of practice

men, who can sit comfortably al
most under the COW and hold the

a ~one-legged stool, with the seat cut
like a half moon and strapped
around their thighs, so that they
walked about with it attached to
them, and the leg looks like a mon

strikes the palm, and either sprays
over the negro and the floor or runs
down his sleeve and out at the ell

This kind of a man has no right
to sit under a COW. You might bet

women, because they are cleaner by

Good and Bad Mixers.

My observation in the South leads
me to the conclusion that they pos
sess the best and the poorest mixers
in the world. By the best I mean
that everlasting bull calf that sticks
to the left side of the COW, while
the poorest is the lazy negro, pull
ing a little milk on the right side af-
ter the calf has had more than his
share. This is simply the picture
of COW milking time on the average
farm at the South. Among the
dairies in that section a better prac-
tice prevails.
There can certainly be no more
Objectionable practice than that of
allowing the calf to suck the Gov be-
fore, after or during the milking,
for the simple reason that the cows
affection for her calf appeals to her
to hold up her milk for the benefit
of her offspring, and that is certainly
a strong factor in spelling the use
fulness of the COW. To prevent this
the Northern dairyman pursues ex-
actly the opposite course, the best
practice being to take away the calf
about six and not more than twenty
four hours after birth, and before
the cow has time to form a strong
attachment for it. The first milk
is beneficial to the calf, it being of
a purgative nature, and cleans out
the calf's bowels.
The COW and calf should now be
permanently separated and put SO
far apart as not to hear the call of
one to the other. She should be led
to forget her calf and transfer her
attachment to the man or woman
who milks her. This is easily ac-
complished by kindness, and it is the
only way to get the most profit out
of the cow. The man who takes no
pride or interest in the GOV should
have nothing to do with her, much
milk her. A good mixer viii

of fesh-forming substances, or por-
tein. Of these the packing house
feeds, tankage, and dried blood and
cotton-seed meal deserve special con-
sideration for the reason that they
furnish these substances in a con
centrated and easily digestible form,
at a comparatively lower cost than
any other group of concentrated
foods on the market.
The fesh-forming substances go
to make muscle in the animal body
and to repair the wastes of the It's
sues; since milk, meat, eggs and wool
contain typical albuminoids, or flesh
forming substances, which can not
be elaborated except through a sup
ply of these materials in the food, it
follows that this group of nutrients
is of equal Importance in feeding all
kinds of farm animals, whether they
are fed for growth or for the produc-
ton of special food articles. The
heat-producing substances can no
more do the work that the protein
bodies have to do than the mineral
substances contained in the ash of
the foods can do it. Under normal
systems of feeding the different nu-
trients have their specific Offices to
fill, so far IS we can tell this with
any degree of certainty. Broadly
speaking, the Offices of the different
food components are as follows: Ash
materials or mineral matter, for
building up the bone structure of the
animal; carbohydrates or nitroge-
substances, to supply heat and
energy for work; and protein or flesh
forming materials, to make muscle
and furnish the material required for
the production of animal products
ike milk, eggs, wool, etc.
Foods grown on the farm are gen
orally low in 4esh-forming materials
and rich in starch and allied heat
producing substances. For this rea-
Jon the farmer is after protein foods
when he buys feeds to
supplement. those raised on the farm.
he generally has an abundance on
hand of hay or corn stalks, corn,
,ats, etc.; what he needs is nitroge-
lous feed stufs which will supply his
animals with the muscle-forming nu-
rients required.-Dr. Charles VIM.

THE WAY TO KILL MOLES.

Load Corn With Calomel and Put the
Grains in the Avenues Frequented by
Pests.
I have discovered a sure, simple
and very easy way of exterminating
moles, which are such a pest and so
destructive to potatoes, etc., in some
sections. The remedy is very sim
pie and almost costless. It is as fol-
lows:
Soak one pint of corn in water
over night. While wet and soft take
the point of a pocket knife and raise
the husk in the heart of the grain
and insert a small amount of Gallo
mel and press down the husk so as
to make the grain retain the calomel,
and in this way go through the whole
lot of corn. Then lay it out in the
sun to dry (for after it is dry if all
is not wanted for use at first appli-
cation it can be laid up and kept
ready for months.) Take this corn
and a sharp stick and go over the
plantation and every mole's road that :.
you come across stick the stick down
in it till you get to his hole and drop
a grain of the corn in it and lay a
little something over the hole to pre-
vent something else from finding it.
The mole will come along and eat
the corn and it will kill him.
This is much cheaper than using
strychnine and other remedies and
much safer. A 1O-cent vial will kill
all the moles in the neighborhood-
if properly applied. The best time
% put out this application is right af-
ter a hard rain when the moles are
making fresh new roads and busily
at work, for then they will be sure
to run across your bait and eat it
