WHEN THE WIND BLOWS.

When the wind blows,
Nobody knows
Where the wind goes.
When the wind blows
Every ones nose
Is as red as rose!
When the wind blows,
The old rooster crows.
And defies all his foes,
When the wind blows,
Do you suppose,
That sea captains doze?
When the wind blows
At night. and it SHOWS,
Two eyelids close
And ten little toes.

THE sIL0 VS.. THE SHREDDER.
Both Are Good, But the Shredded
Product Does Away With
Much Tedious Labor.

There seems to be a great deal of
controversy going on by advocates Of
different methods of putting corn
fodder in the best shape for winter
use. The firmest advocates of the
silo are dairymen who have passed
through the experimental stage Of
building silos and packing the green
stuff and have used silage as a feed
for dairy cows. No one cares to say
that nice, sweet bright silage is not
a wholesome food for cows giving
milk, and perhaps young growing
stock, but it has some drawbacks.
There is always more or less waste
on account of molding, and when
both stalks and ears are cut up there
is much more grain in the silage than
is frequently desirable to feed to
young stock.
On the other hand, shredded corn
fodder can be handled i'm a way that
will insure the largest amount of nu-
triment in the fodder, and the we'll
ripened grain may be fed separate
ly. 1t seems from actual practice dur
ing the past two years, that the mod
ern machines for harvesting corn,
shredding and husking it, are coming
pretty near filling the bill. The corn
harvester does away with the tedious
and uncertain methods of cutting
corn. Tt enables the farmer to wait
until bis corn is in the right stage,
and then the work can be rushed to
the finish. The bundles are easily han
died, and in due time the shocks are
ready for the husker and shredder.
The question of value of shredded
| fodder need not be touched here, for
actual feeding tests have demonstrate
ed that beyond all doubt. The value
of The shredder and husker (com-
bined machine) lies in the fact that
| it permits Of the corn standing in the
shock until well cured, aud then when
| the rush of other fall work is over
the husking and shrcdding can be
done in bury. The husked corn is
then dry enough to crib, and the
shredded product may be stored any
place under roof.--Prairie Farmer.

WILD MEN OF BORNE0.
Traces of the Original Side-Shew
Fakes Have Been Found by
sclentists.

Two men of science are exploring
the island of Celebes. adjacent to Bor-
neo, bent on proving the existence of
that creation of the county fair and
the ''side show" the wild man of Bor-
neo. DIR. Paul and DIR. Fritz Sarasin
are the explorers who are hunting the
wild man on his native heath, says
the Chicago Tribune.
When the two scientists landed at
Macassar they heard stories of the
existence of the wild men, and these
they thought to be merely myths. 1t
was said that type of primitive mem
was extant and to be found in the un-
explored wilds.
Their informants said the wild men
were so shy and untamable that it was
almost impossible to get near them,
even to catch glimpse of them. The
stories were not generally believed in
Macassar, and the explorers thought
at first that escaped criminals had
taken to the mountains and had
frightened the natives into believing
them to be wild
Upon further inquiry they learned
that the wild men, or wood men"
were confined to a certain district,
and were subject to rajah. They
proceeded to this district, bearing
gifts to the potentate. Under the in
fiuence of wise distribution of pres
ents the explorers so worked on the
rajah that he agreed to show them GER
tain types of the wood men, who were
held in captivity.
He had man, two women and
child brought before the scientists,
who decided at a glance that they
belonged to a primitive race of man.
These specimens, Lowever, were half
tanned and had been in captivity so
long that they had lost many of the
characteristics of their race. The
rajah added that the real wild men
lived in the mountains.
Protected by nature to a iarge ex-
tent, they lived in the fashion of men
of the stone age, without many of
the accomplishments of gentlemen
of that period. They defended them
| selves with stones, not even having
learned the art of making the stone
hatchet, which indicates that they
are considerably behind the state of
civilization in which our ancestors of
the stone age lived.
They are cave dwellers, not having
learned TO build shelters, and prob
ably not caring to. They are
homogeneous. Culture is at such a
low ebb with them that they cannot
even count, and they do not know how
to tell a lie. They are in such prim-
tive state that they have to tell the
truth. Possibly their vocabulary is
not sufficiently developed.
These stories of the rajah have in
terested the scientists, and they are
now in the mountains trying to find
the real wild man of Borneo."

A REMARKABLE LAKE.
Large Body of Water In siberia That
Is Entirely Rooted Over
by Salt.

Probably the most remarkable lake
in the world is one with a coating
of salt that completely conceals the
water. 1t may be seen at any time
during the year, fully exposed, be-
ing even at it's best when the sun is
shining directly upon it. This wonder
full body of water is one of the saltiest
Obdorsk, Siberia. The lake is nine
miles wide and IL long, and
within the memory of man was
not entirely rooted over by the
salt deposit. Originally evapora-
ton played the most prominent part
in coating the lake over with salt, but
at the present time the salt springs
which surround it are adding fast to
the thickness of the crust.
In the long ago rapid evaporation
of tne lakes waters left great salt
crystals floating on the surface. In
course of time these caked together
Thus the waters were finally entirely
covered. In 1878 the lake found an
underground outlet into the River Obi.
which lowered its surface about three
feet. The salt crust was SO thick,
however, that it retained its old level,
and now presents the curious spectacle
of a salt-roofed lake. The salt coat
increases six inches in thickness every
year. The many islands with which
the lake is studded are said to act as
braces and to help keep the arched
salt crust in position.

In farming a judicious diversified
ton does not mean that all farmers
should grow this, that or any other
specified crop. Such theory would
render the farmer a mere machine,
set in a groove and confined to it,
and do away with the necessity for
exercising common, or any other
diversity their crops, and in deciding
how to do so, should consider the
adaptability of the soil, their indi-
vidual capabilities, and the demand
for the prepared products. 1t would
be foolish to plant any crop on soil
unsuited to it, or crops the farmer
knows but little about. Even special
lists should diversity, for the sake OF
the land if for no other purpose.
There are thousands of farmers in
the cotton belt now who have de-
scended from affluence to poverty be-
cause they wore their land out grow
ing cotton and corn on the same
ground successfully for years. There
is but one safe and reasonable way
to diversity and that is to consider
every phase ot the subject and decide
according to all the lights available.
OF course every farmer should grow
as much as possible for home con-
sumption, for thereby he saves freight
and other charges that devour his
profits. To do this he must keep live
stock. He must so diversity as to
maintain the fertility of his soil. He
should SO diversity that he will not
have to buy anything he can grow,
for no matter what it is, he can grow
it cheaper than he can buy it. He
should also remember that his profits
are the difference between the in
come and the outlay, and that his
losses are the same with the terms in
verted-Farm and Ranch.

CHEAT FROM CHEAT SEED.
Do Not Turn to Cheat Says
Prof. Garman.

Prof. II. Garman, of the Kentucky
experiment station, is again called on
to explain that wheat, barley and
other cereals do not turn to cheat.
The following question and the an
swer thereto, by Prof. Garman, ap-
pears in the Breeders Gazette:
"You stated in an article a short
while ago that cheat came only from
seed. / quite believe that, but 1 can
not explain the following facts: 1
know of two timothy fields from
which large crops of hay had been
cut for several successive years, and
which changed to solid cheat fields in
one year, and in neither field was
there single sprig of timothy to be
seen. Also last spring / plowed field
that had been in mixed timothy and
clover for three years, and planted it
in tobacco. Last fall, as soon as the
tobacco was cut, l sowed the field in
barley, and 1 am prepared to swear
that there was no cheat seed in the
barley that was sown. / grazed the
barley very late this spring with cat
tie, and when / cut that field / cut a
fine crop of cheat. The farmers
around here say that cheat is formed
from the breaking of the tap root,
either from grazing when the ground
is soft, or from the freezing and
spewing up of the ground in winter.
What is your explanation"
e. -. SfoxoI mr., vorxy similar IN
facts that have been reported to me
from time to time by other farmers,
but the inference to which your cor
respondents points, though he does
not actually adopt and father it, is
not the only one that may be drawn
from the facts. Considering that tim
othy belongs to one botanical genus
barley to another, and cheat to still
another, it is asking too much of a
botanist to request him to believe
that one of these plants may be con-
verted into another even by such
drastic treatment as breaking the
''tap root" and if anything could con
vert one grass into another / imagine
It would be something like this.
Some seeds lie for long periods in
soil, then suddenly germinate and
| produce plants in large numbers. The
writes has kept seeds of broom-rcpe
hemp and tobacco ten years in soil
and had them germinate when hemp
| plants were introduced.
In the cases reported. cheat seeds
were at some time-before, during OF
after the sowing of the other plants

Many Flaws in Mans Makeup
Brought to Light by Ruthless
PhysiolOgian.

Just now, when, when most of man.
kind is ready to believe that perfec-
ton has been reached in physical hui
manity, along comes Belgian pro-
fessor to take the conceit out of us
and prove that even a a-sef-made man
has score of flaws in his makeup,
observes the Detroit Free Press. We
are. to begin WITH. provided with
eight surplus teeth. If we had eight
less, we could chew our beefsteak and
gum just as well, and the chances of
toothache would be largely reduced.
Then there are four fingers where but
three are required to count our caM,
button our collars or use the buck
saw and ak. 1t is the same with the
toes. The third one could have been
left off the foot without the slight
est detriment to man or woman, and
the saving in corn cures would have
been a pretty penny by this date.
Nature made whiskers to grow on
the faces of at least three-fourths Of
the male population of the world.
The Belgian professor defies anyone
of us to show where whiskers beau
tify or benefit, while he can name no
less than a dozen evils rising from
them. We have more ribs than need
ed by two. He proves this by count
ing the hoops on barrel. AS a rule,
all human noses are made on toolarge
a scale, and the consequence is that a
cold in the head takes hold of a per-
son with extra severity.
The ear of whale, the professor
says, is relatively only half the size
of that of a man, while his bulk is
more than a hundred times greater.

too much cheek, but now he knows
that all men have too much ear
As the monkey has no use for a

fessor that 10 out of 20 people squint,
