FOR THE CHILDREN
The Bullseye.


This is more Of trick than q game
and is played with two confederates,
who work in one room while the COM
pany stays in the other.
A rough target is drawn and pinned
at convenient height upon the wall,
and one Of the company is called in.
He Is placed about five feet from the
target and is told to aim with his fore
finger for the bullseye. When he is
sure he is pointing in the right direc-
ton he is blindfolded by one confeder-
ate, while the other stands close to the
target. He is told to walk toward it
and see If with his outstretched fore
finger he can touch the bullseye.
The confederate by the target slight
ly opens his mouth and follows the d.
rection of the pointing finger until the
blindfolded victim finds it caught firm
ly, but not roughly, between two rows
Of teeth.
Then, as he is initiated" he stays
with the confederates while one by
one the other victims walk into the
trap.
1t is great fun if there is good humor
at the feast.

Rewards For Lost pronertx

"More lost and stolen articles would

different methods in advertising for
their property" said a headquarters
detective the other day. "Of course
honest persons do not haggle over the
remuneration for returning a locket, O

A Mystfhed Crow.

During q piazza game Of pingpong
one Of the balls was sent quite a dis
lance out over the lawn, where crow
seized it and bore it off in triumph, ev-
identity thinking 1t was an egg. After
much pecking, from all Of which the
frolicsome little ball bounced away I'M
broken, the crow had an excited con-
sultation with several of his fellows
and then deliberately carried the ball
to the top of a high tree and let 1t drop.
Again the assembly Of black feathered
experimenters gathered around in
amazement. Was there ever such re-
markable egg? 1t had fallen from
height that played havoc with their
eggs and their little ones as well and
yet survived intact! Then one after
another tramped on it, cawing loudly
all the while.
At last, in sheer exhaustion and dis
gust, they all gave it up, flew to the
top of their favorite tree, and, still
cawing loudly, watched one of the
pingpong players come out from the
house and carry off this invincible egg
that had baffled their boldest attacks.

HINTS FOR FARMERS
suIphur a. a plnnt wood.

Sulphur is one of the six necessary
constituents of protoplasm. Without ii,
therefore, there can be no healthy, ac-
tive life either of plants or animals.
We know that when sulphur exists In
excess it confers some special peculiar
lty, such as the pungency in radishes,
mustard and cruciferous plants gener-
ally, the strong and characteristic fla
tor Of onions, garlic, etc.
But apart from these special peculi-
arities, which are not confined to any
particular order of plants, although the
crucifer9 perhaps possess them more
abundantly than any other, sulphur has
to fulfill an important function In the
early career of all Towering plants.
NM. Berthelot and Andre, the distin-
guished French chemists, have been
carefully investigating the subject, and
they find that in most Towering plants
The total quantity Of sulphur increases
continually from termination to inflor-
sscence, but the relative quantity is
about one-third higher in the earlier
btages Of growth. The organic sulphur
reaches its maximum when the plant is
IN flower and afterward decreases. Or
ganic sulphur is formed In the roots
Turing the time of Towering, so it is
probable the sulphur is not absorbed
from the soil entirely in the form Of
sulphates.
The proportion Of the two forms of
sulphur in the seeds varies considera-
Wy in different species Of plants. The
anal reduction of the proportion Of or
yanic sulphur is partly due to elimina-
ion in the form Of volatile compounds
and partly to reoxidation during fruc-
tification. We hear good deal about
artificial manures which enrich soils
with nitrogen, phosphate. potash, lime,
ETC., bat not so frequently about sui
phur, which is as important to good
.rops as any of the above.-American
Cultivator.

Practical Forestry.

Among the lecturers met at the Indi-
ana Institutes last winter was Mr.. w.
III. Freeman, secretary Of the state
board of forestry. was impressed by
the practical nature of his efforts to
promote timber growing in his state.
He has faith in the direct profitableness
Of timber production to the farmer and
relies little upon sentiment. We may
understand that the removal of all for
ests affects our streams and the humid
lty of the air, but the owner of farm
must figure upon income for himself
Secretary Freeman believes that n
shortage Of timber is near at hand and
that part Of the hundreds of thou
sands Of acres of rough land lying north
and southern and eastern Ohio should
be devoted to supplying q great de-
mand that is near at band. The only
way to get many others to accept such
view is to demonstrate it's correct
ness, and so Mr.. Freeman has secured
legislation empowering his board to
purchase 1000 acres of land and to &C
to work upon the pro 'em. Indiana is
great consumer {. second growth
stuff in her manufactures. and q por-
ton of this area will be given over to
ash. hickory and other hard wood. The
land has small agricultural value and
is low priced, and the proposal is to
show that timber can be made the crop
with good profit to the landowner.-Al

How TO Make Pine Woods.

Farmers in the White mountains
have discovered, or learned. what farm
ers elsewhere are slow to ascertain. 1t
is that if you lop off the lower limbs Of
balsams when they are young the
limbs will not grow again. Thus the
tree as lumber will be improved. 1t
will be freer of knots.
Certain hotel owners, desiring pine
lands near their hotels on account of
healthfulness, asked a government for
ester how to get them. The reply was:
"Cut off the hard woods, then turn the
cattle in to pasture for three years.
That will keep down the shoots Of the
hard woods. and the pines, which cat
tie avoid, will grow up, and their
needles will keep down other growths."
