The party OF the first part Ito use 81
legal phrasey may argue their point 'l
this way:
Five shillings is the fourth part OF Il
mound. If you have 10 shillingS, oI
three fourths of pound, and some
body gives you another fourth pnrt you
have Il sovereign-ergo, your four
fourths is onc-fourth greater tlah
threefourths.
But this will not suit the other party
Mt all, and they will proceed scorntuiy
to point out that the argument Il al!
wrong. since if you have Is shilIlngs
and somebody is generous enough 10
add 3 shillngs to it the donor is on
ly giving you one-third of the amount
YOU already possess g times 3 equals
15), therefore your sovereign Is ohl!
one-third more than your 10 shillingS.
1t is pretty problem, and expert
accountants have been known to wran'
gle over 1t for hours.-London Answers

SCIENTIFIC FARMING.
The Way Long TOnEued Bees snN"'
Australian Glover.

The Way Long TOngued Bees saved
Australian Clover.
A clerk in the department Of agricuI-
ture said:
so you think that scientific farming
is n bluff? You demand some ilmStra-
tions of the good that is accomplished
by the scientific method2 Very well.
when clover was first Introduced
into Australia it grew there beautiful
ly, but 1t never seeded. The soil was
all right. The climate was all right.
What, then, was the trouble?
"A scientist studied the matter, and
this is what he found:
HE found that the native Australian
bees had tongues too short to reach
the clover's pollen forming organs,
These organs In red clover are hidden
deeply in the heart Of the tubelike
petals and they can only be fertiIized
by the long tongued bulnblebce. II
red clover is not visited by humble
bees, who bear the golden pollen
grains from one blossom to another, it
never seeds-it cannot be grown. The
scientist, aware of the fact, soon put
his finger OH the barren Australian clo-
ver's trouble. He imported lot of
long tongued bumblebees. These bees
flourished, and Immediately Australian
clover. which had promised to be a
failure, became one of the country 5
richest and finest crops" = Chicago
