The FIamingo's Plumage.

There are about seven species OF
flamingoes, three of which are in Am
erica, frequenting the Bahamas. Flor
ida and Cuba, says the Scientific Am
erican In height the famingo aver
ages about five feet. If its curved
neck were stretched to it's full length
the bird would tower above the head
of an ordinary man.
During May and June, the breeding
time, the birds bright-colored plum
age is faded, but reassumes its most
radiant hues in winter. When first
Matched the young have straight bills,
which after a time. develop into Z
bent shape.
The first plummage is grayish white,
and passes through various tints of
pink, rose, carmine or vermillion to
the full scarlet OF the adult, which
reaches its deepest shade / on the
wings Several years are necessary
to perfect the final gaudy plumage.

Economy Of Heat and Health.

The average humidity in artificially
heated houses is about 80 degrees;
the average temperature, 70 to "a
degrees. It has been found by con-
elusive tests that room with hui
midity of 60 degrees and a tempera-
ture of IS degrees seems warmer and
more comfortable that room of II
degrees of heat and humidity OF 30
degrees. DIR. Henry M. Smith says
that if room at 68 degrees is not
warm enough for any healthy person
it is because the humidity is too
low, and water should be evaporated
to bring the moisture up to the right
degree. In other words, water. in
stead of coal should be used to make
rooms comfortable when the temper
ature has reached 68 degrees. As
water is cheaper than coal the rule
should become popular one.-Chi-
cago Tribune.

Trees as Elevators.

In your "Can Trees Act as Eleva-
tors?" discussion. might not the ele-
vation of the cannon, described by
"M.," be explained as being due mere
ly to the growth Of the trees branches
in diameter? remember as a young
ster back on the farm we had a gate
hung to the trunk of a maple tree. In
a few years saw that gate elevated
a couple of feet. Naturally l thought
it was due to the upward growth Of
the tree, but in reasoning about it lat
er saw readily enough that it was
the sudden growth Of the tree trunk
as its base that caused the lifting OF
the gate at it's other end. thus making
the phenomenon very deceiving one
to the casual observer. P. E. l.. in
New York Times.

Cows and Their Feed.

Cows and Their Feed.
An interesting reference is made to
successful COW feeding in a recent
bulletin of the Department of Agricul-
ture, by Prof. w. J. Spillman, from
which we take the following:
One of the cows is Is years old, and
is still vigorous and healthy; she
breeds regularly, and gives milk
enough to make it profitable to retain
her in the herd. The writer has never
seen a thriftier, better kept herd of
every day in the year. Every feed
consists of three parts. A portion of
it is some succulent material-silage
in winter; and rye, timothy and clover,
corn, or peas and oats in the summer.
A second portion consists of dry hay
or fodder. This is used to give the
manure proper consistency, and adds
much to the convenience of caring for
the cows. A third portion consists of
mill products, of which three kinds
are used-bran, oil meal, and gluten.
The proportion of concentrates fed
depends on the condition of the COW,
and is regulated by the flow of milk
and the consistency of the manure.
The soiling crops are used as fol-
lows: Green rye, beginning about
May 1, and continuing about four
weeks, or until the rye is ready to
cut for hay. Then timothy and clover
are fed till peas and oats are ready.
When the latter is cut for hay, the
silo is opened (about July ~, and si-.
lage is fed till early corn (planted
May 81 is ready. Enough early corn
is planted (about one-fourth acre. to
last till late corn (planted about June
22) is ready. Late corn is then fed
till it is time to put it in the silo.
From this time forward silage lis fed
daily till green rye is available in the
spring. No abrupt change is ever
made in the system of feeding. Even
the change from green corn to silage
is made gradually.
It will surprise most dairymen to
learn that these carefully kept cows
are given four ounces of salt each,
daily, mixed with their feed They
eat their food better, and the owner
thinks they do better when given this
amount than when the allowance is
smaller. The COWS are fed three times
day, and the salt is divided be-
tween the three feeds. Fine table
salt is invariably used; the COWS pre-
fer it to coarse salt.
Every particle of roughage fed on
this farm, including hay and all soil
ing crops, is cut in quarter-inch
lengths. Even the bedding is cut in
this manner.
There are two round silos on the
| farm, each 10 feet in diameter and "a
feet high. These together hold about
100 tons of silage, and this quantity
| OF corn silage is produced on four
acres, planted about June %. Eleven
| men, three teams, and a traction en-
| gine to run the cutter are employed
in filling the silos Ensiling begins
usually on Friday, so that the silage
may settle over Sunday. On Monday
the filing is completed.-Indiana

Teaching Horses to stand.

t~NCiuIS OISOS ~ SsO''Ns
A horse is easily impressed when
in training, both as to becoming fast
walkers, and in standing quietly with
out hitching. A horse trainer says
this as to teaching them to stand:
CAS- soon as he had his colt fairly
gentle and had ridden him lew
times, he would throw the reins down,
take strong but soft rope hobble,
and hobble his, front legs. Then ne
would fasten stake rope, say 70 feet
long, to front leg and the loose END
to a stout stake or post.
Ordinarily the horse would never
move thus fastened, but if he did he
soon came to grief. A few lessons OF
this sort cured him and never were
forgotten. After a while he would
simply wrap his long reins about the
horses front legs and that was gen
orally sufficient You might think
that this would be apt to hurt lame
horse, but / have done it on hundreds
and never seen one hurt in the least.

Beautifyinq the Grounds.

Fortunate indeed is he who has a
brook or even a permanent rlll run
ing through his grounds, as his op-
portunities for landscape effects are
vastly increased. Rustic or stone
bridges are almost as matter OF
course, and there are limitless pos
sibilities for the surface OF the water
and the bordering banks. II the sup
ply of water is constant it is a very
simple and inexpensive matter to WI
den the stream at any desired place
to make at that spot little pond.
You will grow water-lilies, Of course
that is, if there is pretty con-
tinuous exposure to the sun-(thls is
imperative with water-lilies) and &C
quatic plans. You will do well to
make a selection from some local
stream or pond, and enliven this with
q few foreign varieties. Plant along
the bank flags, ornamental grasses,
willow bush-almost what you will,
for you can plant as near or lar from
the water as you please, depending
upon the varying degrees OF the plants

Depending Upon Legumes.
It is now pretty generally settled
that such plants as crimson clover,
COW peas, velvet beans and the like
have the power to draw nitrogen from
the air and hold it so that it may be
transferred to the soil by the process
of blowing the plants under. or
course this can only be brought about
after the soil has been inoculated
with the bacteria peculiar to the sew
eral legumes. Having fairly well un-
derstood this, many farmers have
jumped to the wild and wrong conclu-
sion that in any of the legumes they
had the power of supplying the bulk
of the Fertilizers needed by growing
crops. One farmer remarked In pub
lie that if the nitrogen could be sup
piled in this way, and the soil already
contained a preponderance of potash,
as scientists said it did, then mini
mum quality of phosphoric acid only
was needed to complete the chain. OF
course. this is an absurd view. The
| potash is there, undoubtedly. but we
know it can be brought into action
and made available only by plant cul
tivation. Then, too, those who have
tried it know that the best results IN
the growing of crimson clover, for ex
ample, are obtained when the proper
amount Of potash and phosphoric acid
is in the soil. It is folly to depend
WHOLLY upon the legumes. Put to theil
