origin of Mathematical signs.

The sign of addition is derived from
the initial letter of the word plus"
In making the capital letter it was
made more and more carelessly until
the top part of the 'p" was finally
placed near the center; hence the plus
sign, as we know 1t, was gradually
reached
The sign of subtraction was derived
from the word minus" The word was
first contracted in IN. n. S. with hori-
zontal line above to indicate that some
of the letters had been left out. At last
the letters were omitted altogether,
leaving only the short line.
The multiplication sign was obtained
by changing the plus sign into the let
ter ''x." This was done because null
tiplication is but shorter form Of ad-
dition
Division was formerly indicated by
placing the dividend above horizontal
line and the divisor below. In order to
save space in printing the dividend was
placed to the left and the divisor to the
right. After years of evolution" the
two "d's' were omitted altogether, and
simple dots set in the place of each. AS
with the others, the radical sign was
derived from the initial letter of the
word "radix"
The sign of equality was first used
in the year 1857 by sharp mathema-
tician, who substituted 1t to avoid fire.

A New Fruit Peril.

California IL now on guard against
the entry Of the Queensland (Australia)
fruit fly, which has so ruined the fruit
industry In Queensland that the farm
ers are In many instances burning their
trees and converting their acres to pas
ture or the growing OF wheat and bar
ley. According to the San Francisco
Examiner, Mr.. George Compere Of Cal
ifornla has been employed by the Aus
tralian government to search In every
country OF the earth, II necessary, till
he finds an insect foe that preys upon
and keeps this destructive fruit fly In
check. II Is thought that somewhere
such an insect must exist, and the
Queensland fruit fly cannot be fought
by the ordinary methods OF spraying.
No species of fruit Is exempt Melons,
grapes, apples. pears, plums, peaches,
oranges. lemons and, In fact, every
fruit used as human food is attacked
and devoured.

CHEESE PRINTS.

cheeses averaged very nearly fifteen
pounds in weight and were each d.
vided into fifteen prints. The dimen-
sions of each block Of cheese were
11.5 by 1925 by 2.5 inches, each print
being 2.5 by 2.5 by 4.25 inches. The
cheese was pressed in an upright
frame, the carved board placed at the
bottom Of the rectangular mold. The
bandage cloth was large enough to
cover the carved boards, the sides and
the bottom Of the cheese. The ends
were brought together on the smooth
side of the cheese, the cloth being cut
in such way as to make smooth cor
ners.
A metal hoop similar to the cheddar
cheese hoops, with fasteners, ETC., it IL
believed can be made for this kind of
cheese so that horizontal gang presses
may be used and number of cheeses
put to press at the same time. By carv-
ing both sides of the board it can be
used for molding two cheeses when the
board is placed in the press between
the cheeses. At the Wisconsin station
no difficulty was experienced in curing
these cheeses in the same way as ched-
dar cheese is cured. The bottom and
sides should be creased and the cheese
turned occasionally, although 1t should
not rest on the printed surface for
very long time. BY exercising a little
care In handling these cheeses during
the curing process, according to Pro-
fessor Harrington, they can be kept
clean and attractive in appearance and
If well made from good milk will de-
velop an acceptable flavor.

beyond which lay Gregson, his head
propped on his elbow. his pipe putting
vigorously. He was thinking again of
that innocent, half pleading face, of
the wonder in her gentle eyes at his
cleverly worded, half veiled compli-
mentS. of the flush that might come to
her cheek when they met again and
when he held her hand just a trifie
longer than good form demanded. She
knew so little and he so much. He
thought Of a delicate rosebud unfold
ing slowly, dreamily, until its throb
bing, crimson heart lay bare, and he
thought of Disbrow, plain, plodding
DisGrow, who had q future to carve
out for himself-and the rosebud. Then
Gregson set his teeth hard on his
pipe. 1t was out
Gregson was sorting his mail. Most
of the envelopes were small and dis
tinctly feminine in their chirography.
One bore his fathers Office address in
the corner. He read this first and
turned to Disbrow with an air of
mingled surprise and regret that was
credit to his versatility.
The pater wants me to run over to
London OH little mission for him, so
I'll have to be leaving tomorrow or
next day I'm no end sorry, especially
about the fishing trip | won't have to
Spirit lake; but business is business"
Disbrow was genuinely disappointed
over the sudden termination of Greg
sons visit They had planned so many
short jaunts up to the lakes, but dur
ing the fortnight already spent there
had been too much for him to look
after on the farm. He voiced this feel
ing as he watched Gregson pack.
Il wanted you to see more of Alice,
too,' he said. "She's not just the sort
you're used to, but in her way she's
one in a thousand. And you'd learn
to like her."
Il know | shouldn't" answered Greg
son, kneeling to fold some trousers.
"Will you tell her for me, If don't see
her again, that l consider you the two
luckiest people of my acquaintance,
and I'm coming back when you are
married and settled?"
But Disbrow did not catch the words
murmured under the other mans
breath, but not until then"

OUTDOOR FEED RACK.

then set two and half feet apart and
eighteen inches from the ground. For
side pieces six inch boards should be
used The distance allowed each sheep
is fourteen inches from center to CEN
ter, or ten inches in the clear between
Stats. For upright pieces on the sides
four inch strips were used. On the in
side, as plainly shown in cut, four inch
strips were nailed to keep the hay from
being pulled out. These strips are
about five inches longer than the out
side Stats, giving a slight incline to-
ward the center. To help keep the hay
from being pulled out and for bracing
the rack these Stats are very essential
in the construction of a rack of this
kind
The general construction Of the rack
is crude. 1t was built of picked up
pieces of boards. When we built the
rack, we did not just know which de-
sign would be the most satisfactory
and for this reason did not take any
extra pains to make it fancy. We have
used the rack for three or four years
along with two other designs of racks
for outdoor feeding purposes and can
say for economy and for keeping the
chaff out of the wool we have been
well pleased with this one. We now
have under construction racks Of SIM
liar design that will when finished ac-
commodate 500 sheep without crowd
ing, says q correspondent OF the Ohio
Farmer, who also describes q handy
stoneboat of his own construction, as
follows:
Last spring found myself In need Of
a new stoneboat, and made the one
shown in the accompanying cut. used
three by ii oak plank nine feet long
placed alongside each other as shown
in the illustration. In saving the plank
it is very important to saw from both
ends so that the end from which the
draw comes will have n runner shape.
II this is not looked after when the log
is being sawed. the plank win never
make an easy drawing stoneboat. In
fastening the plank together piece OF
a runner plank was bolted across the
front end In order to make a secure
place to attach a chain. The rear end
was fastened by bolting an oak 2 by A
across. 1 did not bolt any side piece on,
as some people do, for believe they
are nuisance when drawing barrels
and the like.
A stoneboat is one Of the homemade
devices that serve almost an indispen-
sable purpose about the farm. Hardly
does day pass but what one finds use
for a boat of this kind. In the time Of
the year when drag or some like tool
must be taken some distance to field
stoneboat IL at hand will save the

A Pleasant Old Legend.

Many years ago, sailing from Con-
stantinople to Marseilles, we passed
close under the lee of Stromboli, Off
the north coast of Sicily. The irrecon-
Filable old volcano was not In active
eruption, but from the crater a reddish
smoke was rising, while from the fls-
sures In It's sides burst now and again
tongues OF lurid flame. "Ah," observed
a sailor-the vessel was an English

legend that one Captain Booty, mas
ter mariner trading to the Mediter-
ranean In the seventeenth century, be-
came SO notorious for drinking and
swearing that he was seized upon by
the fiend and carried off to the interior
of Strom5oli from which he has con-
tinued ever since to utter profane Ian
guage by means of tongues of fire and
puffs of smoke. This, however, did
not prevent the ghost OF the profane
skipper from frightening his widow,
who resided in Lower Thames street,

to her at supper time smelling strong

New Suggestion For Attractive


New Suggestion For Attractive
Marketing.
According To statistics gathered by
tho Storrs (Connecticut experiment
station. the cheese most commonly
eaten in this country Is like the Eng
lsh cheddar and IL known by that
name. In order To promote the manu-
facture of various kinds OF cheese I'm
this country Il is desirable TO encour-
nge greater consumption of It. Many
believe that marketing cheese I'm more
attractive and convenient form would
do this. Some OF the higher priced
sorts of choe>c are marketed In smnll
packages and Jars. but the hulk Of the
cheese consumed Is marketed In large
sizes, which are cut into slices and
sold by the pound, Such slices do not
