a SONG OF CHEER.

E,no me a song from the noon of the day,
Wake a refrain from it's glory;
Bring me the aow'rets that bloom on the
way;
Make life a beautiful story;
swell the sweet anthems that ring with
hope
Porn not of earth and its sorrow;
|UaII me of gates that are waiting to ope
For us on the perfect tomorrow"
Sing to me- never of night, or of gloom
| Life holds enough of such sadness
CHILL and decay let us hide in the tomb;
Death gives no echo of gladness.
Cast not a shadow; encourage no strife;
Time to it's close is fast speeding;
Harvest the joy and the sunshine OF
Life
And follow where conscience is lead

Ducks Without Water.

While it is difficult to raise duck
lings without a stream of water IN
which to swim, when these birds come
from long line Of pond-raised ducks,
it can be done with fair success If a
little trouble Is taken. Try this plan:
Let their food be almost entirely a
mash of corn, oats, bran and meat
scraps with some finely chopped vege-
tables or grass we'll mixed through the
mass. Feed this mixture in shallow
troughs or on clean, fiat boards and
have a number of vessels Of clean wa
ter close at hand where the ducklings
may drink between mOuthfuls Of the
mash In other parts Of their enclos-
ure have vessels Of clean and fresh
water at all times, but not large
enough for them to get into. The idea
is that if they have plenty Of water
to drink they will not want to swim in
1t very badly. The plan often works,
hence it is worth trying.

Roaming BuLlfroqs.

They have a wire screen now on the
bullfrog tank at the Aquarium. The
tank is about two and a half feet deep,
but the able and agile bullfrogs would
jump out of it.
The frogs would Chamber up on
log that lies in the bottom of their
tank. placed there to enable them to
get out of the shallow water in it
when they wanted to, and from that
log, which reduced their jump by
only about six inches, they would
lump to the top edge of the tank, to
perch there for a moment and then
Jump off to the floor, to go roaming
around the building.
The frogs were likeliest to do this
at night, when in the dim light it was
difficult to recover them, and it is
not easy to pick up bullfrog by the
hands at any time. One of the night
men on duty would put his hand down
to seize an escaped big bullfrog, only
to find it the next instant ten feet
away, landed there at a single jump,
and so the chase had to be kept up.
One night one of the bullfrogs was
found as far off as the feed room,
which is about a hundred feet from
the bullfrogs' tank. So finally they
put this wire screen over their tank

Attention is called in the Technical
World to the fact that the introduction
of the vacuum-tube light has brought
into existence a new trade-that Of
glass plumbing" The glass tubes, in
which the light is produced by an cleo
trio current flowing through a gaseous
conductor, are an inch and three-quar-
tiers in diameter, and are put up in
lengths of about eight and half feet,
and Theoretically sealed in stu. For
the purpose of this work a new set of
glass-blower's instruments has been
devised, including cutting tools, blow
ers and hand torches, and experts per-
form the necessary operations with
surprising rapidity.
A new Norwegian sounding appara-
tus for the use of ships consists of an
electrical device whereby a sound
wave is sent to the sea bottom, in rel
atively shallow water, and upon being
reflected back to the vessel is received
by another part of the same appara-
tuS. An automatic record is made of
the time elapsed between the depart
ure and the return. Thus the velocity
Of sound in water being known, the
depth is at once ascertained. The ap-
paratus is designed to make a continu
Gus record, and correspondent of the
Scientific American says that it may
be so constructed as to give an alarm
when the water shadows to certain
depth.
Recent experiments in the Depart
ment of Agriculture have shown that
the former idea that bacteria in gen.
eral are not harmed by freezing is I'M
tenable. On the other hand, the eff
feet Of very low temperatures has been
greatly overestimated. Messrs. Smith
and Swinglc have observed as destruc-
tive effects upon bacterial life from
the temperature Of salt and pounded
ice as from that of liquid air. The
critical point appears to be somewhere
about the freezing-point Of water. An
organism which can pass this point in
safety may be proof even against abso-
lutte zero. A few individual bacteria
in every culture tried were able to en-
dure unframed the temperature of
LIQUID air. This is believed to be due
to the absence Of water in the cells.
Where the Great Northern railway
skirts the shore of Puget Sound, in
the State Of Washington, traffic is
sometimes interrupted by slides from
steep sand and gravel banks, which
cover the tracks. Formerly these acct
dents caused vexatious delays while
gangs of men slowly shoveled off the
Instruction. but the principle of dy-
draulic mining, so we'll known in the
West, suggested a more expeditions
method of opening up the road. A
steam pump attached to heavy hose
now takes the place of the shovelers
when slide is to be removed, and
the skilfully directed stream Of water
rapidly washes off the sand and earth,
and leaves the track free. OF course
care must be taken not to undermine
the roadbed, but this difficulty seems
to have been avoided.

Pasture for Orchards.

1t is by no means the field that has
been cropped for years that is the best
location on the farm for the orchard.
That the fields in question have raised
good crops by yearly fertilizing by no
means indicates that they have suffi-
cient virtue to furnish the fertility
needed by trees. Usually they will,
provided the soil is properly fortified
yearly, but unfortunately the general
idea is to give the field one lot of fer
tilizer at the time the tree Is set and
let it go at that; this method accounts
for much of the trouble that results
from setting orchards on fields that
have been under cultivation for many
years.
Now as to the pasture. If 1t has
been used by the stock until they are
unable to get anything more from it,
naturally it will need considerable
preparation to fit it for trees; IT, on the
other hand. it has been reseeded occa1
sionally and Is furnishing fair pas
ture it is in good shape for the trees
because the droppings left by the stock
wear after year have permeated the
SOIL and under proper cultivation and
preparation, this well fortified soil
will furnish nutriment to the orchard
for a number of years. Tests Of this
pasture soil, both with fruit trees and
small fruit plants prove that one
should never think Of letting an old
pasture lie idle just because it no long
er fuIflls its original purpose. Try
the plan on a small area with small
fruits and it will be seen that the argu-
ment brought out here Is logicaL--lu-

Making Strawberry Beds.

If the strawberry bed is to be pre-
served for cropping another year good
care must be taken Of it during the
growing season after harvest of The
fruit. In some sections and under GER
tain conditions it is a good plan to
burn the bed over after it has fruited
By placing heavy layers Of straw on
the bed and setting fire to it the old
plants are destroyed, the insects are
burned up and the weeds killed. There
il danger, however, in this plan Of in
juring the young and tender plants In
most cases a better plan would be to
NOW the plants to the ground and let
them thoroughly dry then cover over
them just enough straw to carry the
fame, set fire to 1t and thus burn out
what is undesirable.
If care is taken not to have too fierce
a fire there will be little danger to tho
crowns Of the plants. After this the Gull
tivator should be put in use and the
soil we'll cultivated both ways between
the rows, so as to cover the plants
slightly with the soil. With the hoe
all undesirable plants must then be de-
stroyed, together with the weeds, or
course. After this the plants should
receive the regulation clean cultivation
until fall, when, if the work has been
we'll done, one will have a nice lot Of
young plants well started, and which
will go through the winter in good
shape-Exchange

One night she, with her father and
mother. dined at the Murdochs'. Ii
was large party. AS they stood ana
sat about previous to dinner being an
nounced, Mrs. Brierley glanced with
justifiable pride at Maude; she, In
pearl-gray, looked, in the subdued
light of the standard lamps a charm
ing picture of graceful refinement.
Maude was talking to a commonplace
old lady about the ravages of the lnnu-
enza. There were two young fellows
near her; suddenly she heard one OF
them make a remark which seemed to
stun her and stop the beating OF her
heart.
poor Jim Broughton got a bad
fall"
$50 hear: horse came right On tue
top of him, l believe"
eyes: served him right, you know;
he had no business to ride at such

Maude found herself praying that
she might not faint Or make scene,
for this news hurt her terribly. After
he had got his answer that wintry att
ernoon he had Systematically kept
away from her; she never met MIN
now at peoples houses, and she never
thought she would have missed him so.
And now. perhaps, he was going to
die.
"Is Captain Broughton badly hurt"
she asked the young man at her s1de'
il, a voice she tried to keep steady.
There was little catch in her voice.

help. The young fellow glanced quick

there was absolutely no foothold Tor
horse: he has been going like mad
man the last few weeks can't thlnk
what has come to him."
Maude talked hard and fast ABOUT
the Meredfths' dance, talked the suo-
iect TO death. Discussed floors, and
how to make them slippery; she COM
nlained that the music had been too
far away. and then said she liked It
far away: said Mrs. Meredith was the
hest hostess in the world, and then
found herself agreeing heartily with
her neighbor when she said she never
introduced a soul; in fact, her CONVEX
sation was so odd that the young man
told the other young man that ne
thought she was rather 'dotty.'
Next morning her father went In to
INQUIRE for Broughton. He was not
gonig to die. His collar bone was brok-
en-. and he was one big bruise, but
few weeks of laying up would, the
doctor said, put everything right.

How Trichinae Spreads Trichinae.

Trichinae, like the bubonic plague,
Is spread almost entirely through the
medium Of rats, says Major L. L. Sea
man. The hog on the farm is a great
hunter of rats and eats his victims
He eats the rats infected with trichino-
sis and SO contracts the disease. 9th
e. rats, whenever they get the oppor-
tunity, eat the carcasses of hogs which
have died of trichinosis, and so j
vicious circle is established and con-
tinued from hog to rat and rat to hog.
Then again the rats eat parts Of other
dead rats, and it is also true in some
cases that hogs may eat parts Of other
hogs that have been infected with
trichinae. So there are really three cir
cles in which this disease moyes-one
is the large one, made up of hogs and
rats, and the others are smaller, one
Of them being made up of hogs and the
other Of rats exclusively. The two
smaller ones, however, are tangent to
the larger circle and therefore sim
ply widen its radius.

The Manure Pile.

A manure pile just outside the sta
BILE may not be much of an objection
in case Of the beef steer or the horse,
but it is an objection when found
just outside the COW stable. In the
summer time there Is always a dis
agreeable odor rising from 1t, and If
the cows have a partial ration Of
ground grain, the flies that collect
about the manure pile are more nu-
merous than in the ordinary manure
pile. The manure should be kept
away from the stable during hot
weather If at no other time.
Every few days during the warm
weather the manure should be hauled
away and put where it will do the
most good, preferably in the garden.
When the weather is drying it is de-
sirable to get 1t under ground as soon
as possible. l know a man who has
a covered box in one end Of his barn
yard, and into this he throws the ma
nure every day during the summer
time The box is built of heavy plank
and has a cover to keep out the
flies and keep in the smell, most Of 1t.
This is perhaps the easiest way Of
keeping the manure pile from becom-
ing a nuisance during summer. The
only objection to the box is the
trouble Of getting out the manure
when it Is to be hauled away.-Ho-

There Is no reason why corn md
cob meal should not be fed to cattle,
sheep and hogs. 1t can be fed to
those classes of stock without regrind-
ing, though better results WILL as a
rule, follow reSrinding, as the particles
are finer and more quickly acted upon
by the digestive juices. In a finely
ground condition the sharp particles Of
the cob are not SO likely to injure the
digestive organs. One of the great ad-
vantages Of grinding the grain and cob
together is that it lightens the grain,
which is rich and heavy and Rot al
ways thoroughly digested and assini-
lated. Corn and cob meal will, OF
course, give better results, as rule,
when fed in combination with other
grains.

No one will make a mistake in rails
ing a liberal crop Of carrots, no mat
ter what his farm stock may be. They
are fed TO great advantage to cows
and horses, to sheep, swine and poul-
try. For the larger animals and espe-
cially for the horse, there is no better
digestive. 1t is safe to say that Norses
fed a small ration Of carrots twice or
three times weekly will rarely suffer
from Indigestion, provided, Of course,
their ration Of grain and roughage is
half way decent.

1t is our observation that the matur-
ity and vfgor of the hen are the chief
things that have to do with a large
egg production. We must so feed that
the fowls will be kept in a thriving
condition and that their digestive or
gans will not be compelled to do q
great deal Of unnecessary work. We
fad that variety counts for a great
deal. All Of the following feeds are
good If fed each in shall quantities,
suggests the Midland Farmer: Corn,
wheat, buckwheat, oats, barley, lin
seed meal, cotton seed meal, corn meal,
gluten meal, meat and bone, alfalfa,
beets, cabbage, rape. We might add
others, but these are the principal
ones.
If a mixture is fed we are likely to
get the protein and fat formers about
right in proportion. One Of the best
ways to help the birds to produce eggs
is to allow them to hunt for bugs and
pick green stuff as much as possible.
