FORMS OF LEAVES.
Theory to Explain Outline Criticized
by BOtanist.

1t was inevitable that a theory
should be thought out to account foF
the varied forms and outlines Of leaves
says the London Spectator. That
which has found favor with many is
as follows: The Simple" large, 'un-
CUT forms are said to be those which
grow at a height and lie nearest to the
sun. The deliberately "cut" leaves and
leaflets (such as those of ferns) are de-
clared to belong in the main to plants
Of lower growth, which only enjoy the
broken sunlight that struggles through
the simpler foliage Of the higher
plants. This is ingenious; but it hard
ly corresponds with fact, as the read
er may discover by noting the leaves
growing In any English thicket. Take,
for example, the foliage hanging over
the thickly oVergrown bed of a brook.
Above will be the leaves quite smalD
of the whitethorn and Of the maple,
the latter being the larger. Below
these very possibly will be seen grow
ing the large leaVed wild guelder rose,
the laurel and the bramble, and below
these again the dock leaf, the broad
butter burr and the arum.
In English woods and thtckets It
would be difficult to lay down any rule
which would hold good generally for
the place occupied by plants with
leaves Of different sizes. But the the
DRY mentioned above does fit to some
extent the facts in the position Of
grasses In a bayfield,. There the small
er leaved pieces certainly do grow at
the bottom, where the tiny meadow
vetchlings and hop clovers and ladies'
fingers, and other minor and sweet
scented plants, Of which the best hay
Is made, hide their minute and finely
'cut'' leaves among the bases Of the
taller grasses.

Hos Hints.


It does not take either very much
money or very much time to keep the
pOrkers right
1t ia taken for granted that they got
enough to eat because every farmer
knows what It means to feed right,
but feeding is not the whole thing.
It Is, Of course, the most important
factor In hog life, but very close to
1t comes the dry house and good, clean
bedding.
II is too common a conclusion that
anything viii do for the hogs and that
they win wax fat under any condi-
lions and with all sorts Of feed.
Hogs, although apparently strong,
are very susceptible to sudden changes
IN the weather and once they take cold
fall, easy victims to lung troubles,
which often result fatally, and then
when hog meat means money there are
10 hogs to sell

Peanuts Good HOG Feed.

The numerous estimates made by
the Arkansas Station as regards the
yield Of hay from a crop Of peanuts
varies from one to very nearly three
tons per acre. This hay is usually
worth at least $40 a ton and may ha
considered by-product when the nuts
are harvested for market. In connec-
ton with the value of peanuts as
forage crop, it may be noted that in
Virginia there is a man who has been
accommodating a tidy fortune through
the quality Of the hams cured and
packed by him. Those hams have a
rich and sweet flavor which makes
them in great demand at increased
prices. The packer each year goes
through neighboring States buying up
razor-backs which he has shipped to
his farm. 1t is there that they are
given a food which imparts the flavor
and Notwithstanding more than
peanuts.

they can be attached and suspended to
the side OF the horses head. This doe
not give the horse any freedom to
move his head without moving the
bag also. A Philadelphia man has pat
ented an exceedingly simple feed bag
which overOomes this FAULT, an lllustra-
ton of which Is shown here. The bot
tom and sides are made of canvas or
other flexible material, while the top
consists of a circular frame divided
into two sections, which are connected
by small loops. Supporting the bag
are two metal rods, one on each side,
having hooks at the end which fit into
the loops in the frame. In the center
and at the other end of the rods are
circular loops which are shaped to fit
over the shaft Of the vehicle. 1t can
easily be seen how easily this could
be done, the bag always remaining in
position where the horse could con-
veniently reach the feed, at the same
time being able to move his head free
ly. This feed bag has the additional
advantage that it can be folded up
when not in use.

An ideal way of feeding a few sheep

FAMILY FORTUNES OF AMERICA


CrOesus Had Only "a 1.-THE of the
Wealth of Some Millionaire
The great fortunes that have sprung
up so amazingly in this country during
recent decades to-day, in the opinion OF
many serious thinkers, constitute
menace to our national well-belng, says
Cleveland Moffett in writing of 1.-The
Shameful Misuse Of Wealth, in Sue
cess Magazine" Without these great
fortunes there would be no reign OF
luxury in America, no haunting OF
feasts and follies, no riot Of extrava-
gance; with them we may expect all
the evils that have In previous clviliza-
lions attended upon enormous riches.
And many Of these evils, as we have
already seen, are actually with us.
1t is admitted that we are the rich
est people in the world to-day-the
richest people the world has ever seen.
The vaunted wealth of CrOesus Is esti-
mated at only eight million dollars,
hut there are seventy American estates
that average thirty-flve millions each.
As showing the rapid growth Of lndi-
vidual fortunes In this country there
is interest in a list Of rich men
printed In 1856, according to which
New York City at that time boasted
only twenty-eight milliona1res. And 4
pamphlet published some years earlier
says that in 1S45 Philadelphia could
show only ten estates valued at a mill
ion or more, the richest being that Of
Stephen Girard, which reached seven
millions. In contrast to which In 1892
there were over two hundred million
aires In Philadelphia.
As to New York City, the number of
it's millionaires, according to best in
formation, is over two thousand, while
the number Of mlllionalres In the Uni
ted States Is at least FIVE thousand or
half the total number in the world.
There is one family alone, at the head
of which stands the richest and most
powerful man In the world, John D.
Rockefeller, and the wealth of this
family Is estimated at a thousand mill
ion dollars, a sum so huge that the
human mind quite fails to grasp 1t a
sum so huge that if at the birth of
Christ Mr.. Rockefeller had begun max
ing a dollar a minute and had let all
these dollars accumulate day and night
for all these centuries, he would not
yet, in 1905, have amassed a thousand
million dollars And If Mr.. Rockefeller
should to-day turn this wealth into
gold coin and take 1t out Of the coun-
try, say into Canada, he would carry
across the border three times as much
gold as would then remain in the Uni
ted States. Nor would he carry 1t
himself, for the weight OF it would be
one thousand seven hundred and hfty
tons. And If he loaded 1t on the backs
of porters, each man bearing his own
weight in solid gold (say $50 pounds)
1t would require twenty-three thousand
men to move it. And If they walked
ten feet apart the line of them would
reach forty-four miles and would oc-
cupy fifteen hours in passing a given
point. None of which takes any &C.
count Of the daily interest on this for.
tune, which interest, If paid in gold
would require the strength Of seven
men to carry 1t, for 1t would weigh a
thousand pounds. Such are the riches
Of a single family!

Caro- OF TcapOts.

To keep a teapot clean and sweet
great care is needed. Immediately af-
ter use, remove the old leaves, scald
the teapot out with fresh hot water
and wipe it quite dry. Never allow
the inside to become stained with the
old leaves; no good tea can be made
in a stained teapot. The smell alone
should reveal this, and yet many per-
sons take no pains to keep their tea
pots clean inside. A new teapot thus
treated from the beginning will give
little trouble and never become stained

Work and Play for Horses.

WORK ana HAay TOT AOEHeHs
What the horses Of the farm have to
do depends upon the nature of the
work and how well used they are to
it, consequently the horse should be
treated accordingly. II the horses have
heavy spring blowing to do, with more
or less road work in the summer, then
harvesting and more blowing in the
fall, and 1t Is intended to use them fos
heavy drafting in the winter, 1t will
pay to divide the work In some way
so that they will have a little chancG
for rest The argument that rainy
days and Sundays are suf1cient for
the animals does not hold good in all
cases. In our experience we find 1t
pays to have reasonably short hours
for the horses, and not to give them
driving every day there happens to be
a little lull In the work Of the farm.
We feed strictly in accordance with
the work to be done, and contHivN In
some way, so that every horse wri
have a turn at the pasture, even though
1t be only an hour or two at night. II
is not a good plan to attempt to carry
the horses through from year to year
without the pasture. Green food cut
and placed In the manger is not tbs
same. The open air, the freedom from
the harness, the yielding Of the soft
turf and the biting of the grass are
essential to horses, and it pays 10 lei

NORTHERN PACIFIC PLANS
Extension of the Line Into California
Among the Possibilities of the
Near Future.

San Francisco, Avg. 2s.-The Call prints
a story today to the effect that James J.
Hill the railway magnate. Is planning 10
extend the Northern Pacific into Califor-
MIA The article states that a party of
twenty surveyors, which came west from
Chicago the last week in July. was in the
employ of Hill. The surveyors came as
far as Winnemucca, New, where they left
the Southern Pacific and started north
ward on an overland journey. Up near
the southern boundary of Idaho these
men met another party that had come
soath from Grantsdale. the end of a small
extension of the Northern Pacific, on the
other side of the Rocky mountains.
Two parties then proceeded across the
upper portion of Nevada and crossed over
into California along the route of the
Western Pacific. Travelling down the
east side of Lassen peak, the surveyors
made number of reconnoiters and
finally striking the line Of the Western
Pacific again. they proceeded southwark
TO the vicinity Of Sacramento, where they
ceased work.
It is further stated that a route is
being surveyed through timber lands in
the northwestern part of California
which have been acquired by T. B.
Walker and other big lumber men.
