A Wonderful Memory.

Magliabecci had a memory so ex-
traordinary that it seemed to dwarf all
his other mental faculties. He read ali
ancient and modern languages that
had literature and was familiar with
the title and contents of every known
book. He once said that he could re-
peat the titles of over 100000 books
written in many languages OIL a diver
s1ty OF subjects. His whole life was
given to study. He commonly remain
ed at work all night, and when nature
could endure no more he lay down
wherever he CHANGED to be, and with
the floor for couch, a book for pill
low and covered with an old tattered
cloak he would sleep for few hours.
then rise and go to work again. Hc
literally knew everything that was
worth knowing in his time, but pro
duced nothing of his own.

American farmers would be aston
ished at the results if they should ap-
ply the same careful, intensive and
sensible methods to the cultivation of
the soil and the care of their stock
which obtain in some of the old world
countries Denmark, Holland, the Is
land of Jersey and France where a
little area Of land is so treated that it
produces twice and thrice as much per
acre as is produced fn this country.
When our land was cheap $25 to $50
per acre-it is perhaps true that any
sort of intensive agriculture did not
pay, for this cheap land was new and
very fertile and able to stand a good
deal of abuse which has been applied
to 1t without stint Now, however, that
these same lands run in value from
$75 to $3.50 per acre there is much in
these advanced methods Of European
farming well worth considering. We
have not yet learned how to properly
feed the land that is, to so rotate and
fertilize it that il will do It's best or
anywhere near it. Good farming will
always keep up and increase the fer
tility Of the SOIL This but few do, and
half of the land will not now produce
more than one-half as good crops as 1t
would fifty years ago Continuous
cropping with grain has removed the
humus and depleted the available sup
ply Of nitrogen and potash. We know
of several instances where foreigners
from the countries mentioned have be-
come possessed of a small tract of land
here and by carrying out their old
country methods are obtaining the
most astonishing results, making more
money from twenty acres than their
American neighbors are from eighty
acres and not working any harder Ell
Their. We have much to learn from
these people.

BIRD MIGRATION.

There is no more interesting sight to
be seen in the fall Of the year than the
vast focks of blackbirds getting ready
for their southern migration. Grouped
in families as they were bred in the
swamps, they at first live an independ-
ent sort of life. Later, as the fall
days come on, they commence to gath
er in small f1ocks, which constantly In
crease in size as the days go by I'M
til just before they migrate they may
be seen in f1ocks containing thousands,
wheeling with military precision in
their flight or massing and swarming
in the tops Of the cottonwood trees, all
chattering like lot of women at tea
party, evidently discussing in their bird
language the time for their departure
and the route to be taken, and then the
day comes for them to go, a day just
before the coming OF the snow, the
frost and the cold north wind, and cir
cling round a few times to take a last
look at the old home they head for the
south and in undulating flight seek the
marshes, the rice and cornfelds of a
warmer latitude A few stray birds,
perchance the very young and inexperi-
enced ones or those that suffer from
some infrmity, linger all winter through
the cold and the storms, seeking the
shelter Of an evergreen grove In the
vicinity Of some farmers corncrib.

The Luster of ODaIs.

Many gems often without any appar-
ent cause suddenly become cracked or
scanned, the damage being beyond re-
pair. Opals, known as the unluckiest
stones, are SO sensitive that their beau
ty is frequently destroyed by their
Wearer's proximity to an open fire. The
luster of this stone is caused by the
presence of myriads Of little assures,
which defect the light into the charac-
teristic prismatic color Of the gem. The
tinlest Of these assures is likely at any
moment to destroy the stone

GRASS AS A MEAT MAKER.


All through the corn belt men have
placed too much dependence upon corn
as a meat maker and not enough on
grass and other crops. Meat made
from grass and by grass we mean
clover, alfalfa and blue grass-is al
ways cheaply produced, while meat
made from corn has often to be sold
for less than it cost. But few men IN
derstand the real value of a good pas
ture as meat producer, and altogeth-
er too little attention is paid to keep
ing pasture lands up to high state Of
being in connection with overstocking
them and never giving the grass any
kind Of show to grow. We know of
men who would hardly be able to sleep
nights il they had pasture which car
ried a heavy and luXuriant growth of
had got enough stock into it to keep
it down." as they express 1t. Grass
must have some sort of a chance to
grow above ground if it is to have a
good, strong and vigorous root system.
Where grass is weakened by overpas-
turing the weeds are quick to take adj
vantage of the fact and soon swarm all
over the field to still further help kill
out the grass. A blue grass pasture
unfed from July 1 till winter will fur
nish one of the best and very cheapest
winter rations for the colts and for
cattle and sheep as well provided the
snow does not get too deep.

TIE MORNING BATH.
Conditions Under which 1t Should
Not Be Taken Cold.

Conditions Under Which 1t should
Not Be Taken Cold.
Cold baths in the morning are I'M
doubtedly beneficial, but only to those
persons who have sufficient vital ener-
gy ana nervous force to insure good
reaction with no subsequent languor or
lassitude. Many persons who are great
~ refreshed by their morning bath feel
tired or languid two or three hours aft
er It. When this occurs it is conclusive
evidence that the practice is harmful.
Persons who have an abundance of
blood and flesh, who are Emphatic or
sluggish in temperament and whose
nervous force is not depleted, can take
cold morning bath to advantage.
Others who are inclined to be thin.
whose hands and feet become cold and
clammy on slight provocation, who di-
gest food slowly and assimilate it with
difficulty, who are nervous and who
have much on their minds should avoid
early morning cold bathing. For such
the bath before retiring at night is rec
commended, as it should be followed by
rest Of brain and body till equable CON
ditions of circulation are re-establish6d.
Some persons who are weak in nerve
power have such eXcitable nerves that
they get at once a perfect reaction
from cold bathing, but lose in after eff
fects more than the value Of the bath
This class of individuals should not
battle too often and should always use
tepid water, choosing the time prefer
ably before retiring.

NEW TYPES.

We are asked by what process the
new varieties of strawberries and po-
tatoes are originated. New varieties Of
strawberries are not originated from
the runners, but from the seeds of the
berry. New kinds of potatoes come
from the seeds in the seed balls and
not from the tubers. The new sorts
are propagated by the runners and tu-
bers Of the plants thus originated. The
same rule as to new varieties holds
good with all our fruits which carry
seeds apples, pears, peaches, plums.
With our cereal grains-tomatoes GU.
cumbers, melons and squashes- with
most flowers, the origination Of a new
variety comes as a sport or freak, the
result Of natures mysterious methods
Of cross fertilization, such sport being
selected for propagation by seeds or
cuttings from it. Many new things are
developed by mechanical cross fertill-
cation where varieties are purposely
crossed by the agency Of man, and no
field Of research is more fascinating or
Is attracting more attention at the
present time, Luther Burbank of Cali
fornia being the high priest in this line
Of wonderful work.

The corn crop of the west is big
enough so that no eight hour day will

fall. It looks as If the girls will have

Five years ago we top grated TWEEN
ty-fve Duchess trees one year old with
a dozen varieties of apples which are
not rated as hardy where we live. The
experiment to date is a success, the
trees being very thrifty and just be-
ginning to bear The weak point Of a
tender apple tree lies in it's root sys-
TEN and trunk, and we have reasoned
that if these were made entirely hardy
the tenderer varieties might be raised.

The average quarter section farm
should have not less than twenty acres
seeded to clover each year. This will
keep forty acres Of the farm in clover
all the time and permit the turning
over each year Of twenty acres Of
clover sod for the corn crop, this course
of treatment absolutely assuring very
large and profitable crops of corn.
Then there should be cows enough to
take care Of the clover as pasture
and eat up the hay which would be
produced. A farm so handled would
not fail to make money for the owner,
and lot of it too.

cows on his farm and has made more
