New Potato Bug Destroyer.

If the inventors keep on turning out
machinery to do the farmers work for

solved for the large farmer at least, as
he can afford to buy the machinery and
pay the good wages necessary to COM
mand the men to run it, The latest
idea is the machine for destroying po-
tato bugs in wholesale way, going
over acres of ground in a day and
adapted for use on single or double
rows of plants. It also embodies fea-
lures OF adjustn ent which accommo-
date it to variations in height of the

WILD ANIMALS FARSIGETED
The Defect of NearsiEhtedness Seem.
to Be Product of Civ
ilizatiOn

The defect of nearsightedness ap-
pears to be largely product of civil
ization, of our method of living" says
DR.. Grier, in the St. Louis Globe Demo-
crat. The natural condition of the
eyeslght for all kinds of animals is what
is commonly termed farsighteds Wild
animals are invariably farsis shted. and
remain that way even after capture by
man and confinement in meEageries or
geological gardens. Animals. even as
young as four and five months old when
captured continue farsighted in the
zoos until their death, but the animals
born in captivity are always (there may
be some exceptions, though have rev-
er heard of any nearsighted. This is
probably due to the CONSTRUCTED range of
their vision, for which nature endeavors
to adapt their eyesight to the best ad-
vantage.
Among human beings, it is very near
~ the same. Hunter, trapper or sailor,
a man who spends most of his life in the
open and has an unlimited range for his
vision, has the natural eyesight. and can
discern objects a great distance be-
yond that possible to the eyes of the
dwellers in cities. We have little need
to see far away in a city; and the tele-
scopic power of our eyes, therefore,
diminishes percept:bly from generation
to generation. until in the course of time
it is probable We may all be nearsighted
without the power to see distinctly over
a hundred yards.
THE many hours each day child
spends in the schoolroom with it's re.
stricted area helps spread the nearsight-
edness a great deal. The little one be-
fore it enters school can see much far
ther than it can few years after having
begun its scholastic career Then for a
half dozen hours daily it is called upon
to look no greater distance than to the
teachers desk, less than 80 feet away
so its eyesight becomes adapted to see
ing clearly at 80 feet. but not so we'll at a
hundred feet, decided contrast to the
quality of the primitive eyesight''

WHERE TO STORE HONEY.
The Ideal Place Is One Where 1t n
Dry All the Time and Where
1t Never Freezes.

There seems TO be a good deal Of
mlslnforma1ion regarding the proper
place to keep honey after it has been
taken from the hives. Bee-keepers
generally know how to preserve it in
order to maintain its fine quality, but
a great many people who buy it for
home use, and even grocerymen who
handle it in considerable quantities,
fail to keep it at its best. Some peo-
pie think because a cellar is recon-
mended for wintering bees it must be
an ideal place to keep honey. have
found others, supposing a cool place
to be desirable. keeping it in an ice
box, says writer in Northwestern Ag-
riculturist. Neither of these is suita-
BILE. unless one has furnace in the
cellar and therefore it is both warm
and dry; an ice-boX, never
Honey absorbs moisture. and if kept
long in cool. damp place it will be-
come thin and watery and lose it's orig
lnal flavor. 1t may not spoil it to freeze
II the air surrounding is perfectly dry,
but damp cold is Injurious If the
honey gathers dampness and then
freezes, the combs will crack and the
honey run uoWn the outside. and it
never looks or tastes quite so nice as
il did before
An ideal place to keep honey is where
1t is dry all the time and never freezes.
. The kitchen. a warm room over the
kitchen, or the attic is the best place
know of without preparing a spevia:
. place warmed artificially Perhaps it
! is not necessary to hint that mice must
be excluded. Extracted honey, too,
needs to be kept in warm, dry place,
unless it is in sealed cans completely
excluding the air. One reason Why
more honey is not used is because so
few persons know how to keep it in all
its original excellence.

CHAPTER VI4.

HOW CAUSED A HORSE 70 RUN
AWAY AND THEN RAN AWAY MY
SELF.
My first business after leaving the
wagon next morning was to regain
possession of the dead mans bag,
which l was disappointed to find con-
tanned nothing more important than a
false beard. l then took the train to
London, and after hurriedly changing
my clothes at my chambers, l made
my way to No. 80, Fassett Square, Dals-
ton, the house where the dynamite
was concealed.
AS turned the corner of the square,
brewers dray drew up at No. 80, and
a man wearing red cap and an apron
OF brown sacking jumped down and
Knocked at the door. 1t was opened by
another man at the moment I was
passing. Both looked curiously at me,
and then the driver of the dray said,
in what thought was an unnecessarily
loud voice
I've called for the empty barrel, and
to know if you have any orders for

Had I not heard his voice I should
have guessed instinctively that he was
Councillor Number Two, and that the

Money ~ Horse Breeding.

Horse breeding. when judiciously car
cried on. has always been and is likely
to be a reasonably profitable business
for the American farmer. The great
danger in the business is that at the
present time owing to the fact that
horses are scarce, the horse of no par
ticular breed or class is commanding a
fair price, and many farmers are led to
regard a horse of this Kind as pr0fta-
BILE animal to produce. Such horses
should not be bred, because, even when
the greatest care and precaution posi-
bic are taken in breeding for definite
types, there will always be large num-
Der of the so-calied misfits, which are
the first class of horses to be affected By
overproduction or any other thing that
is likely to cause depression in the
market-Rural World.

ORIENTAL SCHOOL LIFE.
The Children Find 1t Something Diff
ferent from n Holiday
Season.

The beginning of school days is crit
ical period in the life of a boy or girl in
oriental countries. In the first place, the
priest or astrologer must be consulted to
choose lucky day. Every precaution
must be taken to avert the jealousy of the
gods, whose malice is especially directed
against fine boy.
The Chinese father, who adores his
son, will take the utmost pains to con-
vince the powers of the air that the boy
is of no account. The child may be Civ
en- despicable name, like flea, or Chu-
tie, pig. or, more insulting still, he
may be given a girls name. The boy
may be started of to school wearing a
girls dress and one earring and If the
deception is complete this will be the
most efectual of all, for even the gods
do not care for girls in China.
The Japanese schoolboy wears hang
ing from his belt little red bag, con-
tanning brass tag, with his name and
his parents name and address upon it.
He must have his paper umbrella and
his fan. and in gay bag upon his arm
is jar of rice for his luncheon. This
quaint little fellow has probably made
his Offering at his own private shrine to
Tenjinsen, the god of penmanship.
When the Hindoo boy has found an
auspicious day to begin school he is
taken to the god of learning, Sarasvati.
Here the little supplicant presents his
offerings Of rice and betelnuts and re-
peats the letters of the alphabet after the
priest. Thus is he entered into the ways
Of knowledge in the very presence Of
tie god.

FACTORY RUN BY WIND.
AIR Motors supply Power to Two
Plants in Germany for Generating
Electricity for Lighting.

For more than two years two small
factories, one near Leipsic, The other
near Hamburg, have been driven sue
cessfully by windmills, which ara also
used as means Of generating elec-
tricity for lighting purposes, says the
Elektrotechnischer Anze:ger.
The windmills have a diameter of
about IS feet and are mounted on the
roof of the works.
To insure reliability, the wind wheel
itself has no moving parts, the speed
regulation being obtained by turning
the windmill so as to vary the angle
under which the wind impinges upon
he sails. which are built of steel sheets.
This is performed by small auxiliary
wind motor. and is said to be done so
quickly and accurately that the voltage
Of the dynamo remains practically
constant throughout the range Of or
dinary wind p essures

Theodore Louis, of Wisconsin, recon-
mends the following for swine confined
and heavily fed: Take six bushels OF
corn-cob charcoal, or three bushels of
common charcoal, eight pounds of salt,
two quarts of air-slaked lirle, one bushel
of wood ashes; break the charcoal we'll
down with shovel or other implement
and thoroughly mix. Then take one
and quarter pounds of copperas and
dissolve in hot water, and with an Or
dinary watering pot sprinkle over the
whole mass, and then again mix thor.
oughly. Put this mixture into the self
feeding boxes, and place where hogs oi
all ages can eat of their c0atents al

THE CITY OF MEXICO.
Rapid Growth and General Progress
of the Metropolis of the SOUTH
western Republic.

This is a city with an immense future.
You can safely enter this remark in your
notebook. You can refer to it ten years
hence, and underscore it approvingly.
By that time all the troglodytes and
! pessimists will have been buried in the
expanding cemeteries or be dwelling,

Dental sections of the city, already fill
ing up with progressive people, says
Modern Mexico.
Twenty year ago-cobblestones, peo-
pie living over shops and Offices. not one
fine display of merchandise of the luxu-
rious sort anywhere to be seen, plate
| glass windows unknown, and ladies
shopping from their carriages, the as
sistants bringing out the goods for in
spection: people all huddled inside the
! hull of the city" for fear of robbers and
what might happen in the next revolu-
ton" Sad-visaged men of prominence
standing in their zaguan doors, predict
ing terrible tines and asserting that
they were going back TO Europe"
They did not go back; they all stayed
revolution" was always nipped in the
bud by a great statesman who was never
slow to stop the plOtters, and who by
diversifying employments made it easy
for every Industrious man to win his
bread.
The old city grows and grows; new
streets. keen demand for electric light
~
administrators hardly able to keep
| abreast of the calls upon them. Smooth
asphalted streets with swift automo-
biles gliding over them; charming and
elegant homes furnished with every
thing that modern luxury can furnish;
great shops existing to supply the de-
mands Of taste and wealth; the middle
class rising into power and influence:
nowhere any sign of halt or retrogres-
| sion.
AS the capital of country which is
all alive with new activities, with wealth
fast accumulating in the interior, this
city is bound to keep pace with it all;
hither come, already, rich men from all
over the republic to establish their new
homes; here they find their Paris. -
Here are clubs, the theater, splendid
shops, the luxuries they crave. Hence
this capital grows like young giant.
The City OF Mexico is on it's way to a
vastly greater population, to splendor
and an elegance of which we now catch
prophetic glimpses. Lucky is the young
man who is growing up with it, who
has stake in its real estate, who is to be
one of the substantial citizens here in
the year, say, 1890

DURABLE WIRE FENCE.
elan OF Building That Has Been T-ted
for Years and Always Given
Good Satisfaction.

Take line with rings on each end;
have line just so long that from center
to center of rings is one rod. Stake of;
this is all right for horse and cattle
fence, for sheep and hogs set the posts
half rod apart. BY having the posts
rod or half rod apart it makes it nice
about calculating the amount of land
in field.
The end posts should be hedge or mul-
berry with roots or large knot or pieces
spiked on lower end of post so that
when set and the dirt we'll tamped in
four feet deep it will be perfectly solid.
Where the fence crosses a low place
posts should be used that have roots,
large knots or pieces spiked on them
