Speeds Of Many Creatures.

A European Engineer, Joseph
Olshausen. began about fifteen Yeas
ago TO measure the speeds Of all
creatures that he could study.
A good pedestrians speed over
good roads, he says, il a sixteenth Of
mile in twelve seconds. The Ger
man soldier covers a little more than
three miles an hour during an ord
mary march that does not last too
long. The maximum speed acquired
by the average person in swimming
comfortably is $50 inches a second.
Oarsmen in an eight cared barge
acquired a speed of 1917 inches in a
second. Skaters average from 8 TO
10 yards second, while runners on
skids have made as much as Fl yards
in the same time, and the jumper on
skids has developed almost 40 yards
velocity in a second. The man who
made this record jumped 100 feet.
lceboats skim over the ice at vel
ocities that have reached 80 yards a
second, or more than mile minute
The fastest that has been zone on
a bicycle is the record of 66 feet a
second. The horse can gallop q
miles in an hour for considerable
length of time. The swiftest dog in
the world, the borzol, or Russian
wolfhound, has made record runs
that show - feet in second, while
the gazelle has shown measured
speed of more than 80 feet second
The gazelle, however, swift as she
is, is not as swift as the ostrich, for
that homely but swift bird can run
90 feet 10 the second when he really
gets down TO it. But then he helps
himself along with his wings
The whale, struck by a harpoon,
and sounding in terror, has been
known to dive at the rate of 300

Jnvsntsd Sewing Machine Needle while
Asleep.

The inventor Of the sewing ma
chine almost beggared himself before
he discovered where the eye of the
needle Of a sewing machine should
be located
His original idea was 10 follow the
model of the ordinary needle and
have the eye at the heel. IL never
occurred 10 him that it should be
placed near the point, and he might
have failed altogether il he had not
dreamed he was building sewing
machine for a savage king in a
strange country. just as in his
actual waking experience, he was
rather perplexed about the needle s
eye. He thought the king gave him
twenty four hours TO complete the
machine and make il sew. II not
finished in that time death was 10 be
the punishment
He worked and worked, and puz-
zled and puzzled. and finally gave il
up. Then he thought he was being
taken out To be executed He noticed
that the warriors carried spears that
we're pierced near the head. Instant.
" came the solution Of the difficulty,
and while the inventor was begging
for time be awoke. IL was 4 O'Clock
in the morning. He jumped out OF
bed, ran to his workshop, and by 8
a needle with an eye at the point had
been rudely modelled After that it
was easy.
This is the true story of an impor-
tant incident in the invention of the
sewing machine. - Washington star.

Was it not farmers Organization

establishment of our North Carolina

Was it not farmers Organization

most insurmountable opposition, So

Was 1t not farmers organization

Was it not farmers Organization
the Alliance-which, having learned
their needs, kept hammering on the
subject in their sub, county and state
meetings until they secured the found

there, until now the uppermost ques-
ton on the lips of every speaker is
more and better education?
Was it not farmers organization

FARMER AND PLANTER.
SOIL INDIGESTION.
Plain the Need of Vegetable Mat
ter in the Soil.

The Delaware agricultural expert
ment station has recently published
Bulletin No 65, which Is unusually
suggestive to men who are thinking
about fertility, commercial fertilizers,
and in general about the methods of
increasing crop production. The title
THE meteorological Analysis of
Soils"-might scare some readers, and
for that reason we have chosen diff
ferent heading for our article. We as
sure them that bacterium singular
for bacteria) is something that one
need not be afraid of, and it is well
that we should know just how he is
helping us.
The bulletin goes on to state that
forty-nine ANALYSIS of the typical soils
of the United States showed as an av-
erage result that they had in the first
eight inches enough nitrogen to last
for ninety crops, enough phosphorus
for 500, and potash for 1000, and yet
these same soils where the chemist has
found so much fertility may under GER
tain condition become so utterly bar
rem of results to the farmer as to lead
him to believe that they are actually
devoid of plant food.
The bulletin goes on further to state
that the soil at Rothamsted, England,
which has been cropped with wheat for
fifty years without manure, and which
had consequently been exhausted pro-
ducing only eight bushels per acre, still
contained phosphorus, in which it was
especially exhausted, to last hun
dred years to come. We have seen this
identical piece of land and saw two OF
three crops of wheat growing on it
The reason this plot with supply oil
phosphorus to last hundred years
had became exhausted was simply be,
cause it was not in shape to be availa

POULTRY AND EGGS PAY.
The Supply in This Country Has Not
Yet Succeeded In Filling
the Demand.

Every year demonstrates that the
egg market is never fully supplied.
We are compelled to import eggs to
keep pace with the demand, and if the
western farmers are unable to make
poultry pay, because of the disad-
vantages of location and markets, there
is nothing in the way of the farmer
who has markets all around him. 1t IS
creditable to farmers that they may
produce large proportion of the poul-
try and eggs that are sold in the large
cities, bu- there is room for more pro-
duction. The obstacle in the way OF
success is that the poultry does not re-
ceive the care bestowed on larger
stock. In all experiments made with
cows and poultry, on the same proper
ton of land the poultry gave the
greater profit, and yet the profits
could be made larger. Fifty hens are
not too many on one acre of ground,
and the average profit should be one
dollar per hen a year. This is fifty
dollars per acre profit. The COW will
not give such large average in pro-
portion. A flock of good hens, how
ever, if we'll managed, should average
more than a dollar ca III. More eggs
should be obtained in Writer. If each
hen produced only one dozen eggs ad-
ditional during the whole winter, it
would make large difference in the
profits. The point is to determine to
secure this addition, and to do so the
farmer should be willing to give his
way to make poultry pay is for the
can do so by disposing of some stock
that may be improbable. 1t means a
different system from giving the poul-
tsy over to women to manage. The
way to make poultry pay is for tn
farmer to take hold, and when the
snow covers the ground, to do for the
hens the same as for the animals
