unusual for the month of January. Several of
the members have about finished blowing sod
land for the next corn crop.
Reading was by Mr.. George Frame from the
American A0riculturist, "Getting the Most Out
of the Alfalfa Plant" as follows: Converting
a heavy mass of green alfalfa, so largely COM
posed of water. into choice quality of hay,
outside of the arid regions, requires no small de-
gree of skill and painstaking. The first and Sec
ond cuttings of each season need to be cured
with special care to avoid heating and molding
in the stack. Beginners need. beware for, as
matter Of fact, what to do and how to do 1t must
be learned by practice ana intelligent observa-
ton.
1.-THE less alfalfa is exposed TO the bleaching
sun, to rain, to repeated dews, the greater its
value, provided a proper curing has been OBJ
tanned. The leaves are the good part of alfalfa.
Investigators insist that something like 70 to IS
per cent. of the digestible protein is in the
leaves, and the younger the plant is cut the
more the leaves adhere to the stem. 1t is the
protein that the grower or user is after. 1t has
been found that one acre of alfalfa yielded as
much protein as acres in clover, 8 acres OF
timothy and IL acres of broom grass. The time
to cut alfalfa is when it is fairly beginning to
blossom and not more than tenth of the blooms
have opened. Early cutting stimulates the sue
ceeding growths late cutting injuries the plant.
It is q good plan to let the hay become pretty
well wilted in the swath and then rake into light
windows before cooking"
Mr.. &. G. Merryman sent book from which
clippings could be read. as he was unable to be
present The title of the book is: "The Fat of
the Land" and comprises the purchase and ex-
periences of the farm. The chapter read was
on sThe Value of Skim MIX" viz: 1.-THE calves
had the first claim to the skim milk. the hens
came next and the growing pigs came last. The
value of the milk-40 cents hundred pounds.
This seems high price when it can be bought
at the factories at Is cents per 100 pounds but 1t
is worth more than twice as much when fed In
perfect freshness. Without the skim milk the
pigs and chickens will not grow as fast. 1t Is
the best food for laying hens, as nothing else
will give better egg YIELD"

A Miner Mummy.

A miner who lost his life 1000 years
ago has been taken from copper
mine in Chile recently. Copper oxide
has mummified his whole body. The
mummy is in a fine state of preserva-
tion. Coarse sacking. evidently the
clothing of the ancient Inca workman,
was found with the body. as were also
two mallets. one fashioned out OF
granite and the other out of iron
stone. These implements were tied
with thongs tied into bent sticks made
as double handles. Both the hide and
the wood were as fresh looking when
found as IL they had been in use only

"YANKEE DOODLE" PHOTO.
Marblehead, Mass, Indignant Be
cause of Liberties Taken with
Celebrated Painting.

Marblehead, Mass.-The action OF
some one in authority in allowing a
publishing firm to take a photograph
of the celebrated painting. Yankee
Doodle, or Spirit of '76," in spite OF
the vote taken at the annual town
meeting in 1900. when it was decided,
after considerable discussion, not to
allow any one to photograph the
painting. is causing indignation here.
Not only was photograph allowed to
be taken of the painting, but it was
taken from the frame in the reading
room at Abbott hall onto the lawn in
the sun for the photograph.
The painting was presented to the
town in 1880 by Gen. John II. Devereux.
of Cleveland, a native of Marblehead,
and is in care of the board of select
men. Just who is responsible for the
removal of the painting from the room
is not known.
The painting is life size and repre-
sents two drummers and a fifer. each
portrait being true to life. 1t was
painted by A. M. willard, of Cleveland.
and for the aged drummer the painter
found in his own father the face and
figure that suited him. For the ffer
he chose Hugh Mosher, a farmer SOL
dier, who had blown his fife through
the wars and carried musket as well.
For the boy drummer he chose the son
pf Gen. Devereux. The painting was on
exhibition at the Centennial at Phila-
delphia and is valued at 100000.

FIND GEM IN NOVEL WAY.
Diamond Ring Valued at $4,000
Lost by Mrs. Harry Payne Whitney
Discovered with Darklanterns.

New York.-Four amateur sleuths
engaged In search the other night for
diamond ring. lost more than week
ago. near Westbury, l.. l..
Tiffany & Co. had advertised for the
ring and offered a reward of 81 900 for
It's recovery. 1t was learned. after the
finding of the ring, that the owner was
Mrs. Harry Payne Whitney. 1t was a
wedding gift from her father-in-law.
the late w. C. Whitney, and was val
ued at 100000.
The sleuths were successful in their
search and will receive the reward.
They were John Deverett, a gardener;
William Adams, coachman for Stan
ley Mortimer; Thomas Griffin, gar
dener for Harry Payne Whitney. and
John Griffin. The four borrowed a
diamond ring from Mrs. Whitney and
then dropped it on the Whitney lawn
They flashed a bull's-eye lantern on
the sparkler to see what the effect
would be. In this way they discov-
cred that under the sharp rays OF
the light the diamond could be seen
in the grass plainly at a distance of
ten feet.
The quartettte then formed a line
with about ten feet between each and
began systematic search of the lawn
under the rays of lanterns. At the
end of half an hour Deverett spied
the missing diamond as 1t nestled un-
der wisp of grass. The sleuths i'm
mediately took the valuable bauble to
Mrs. Whitney, who was delighted at
its recovery. She assured them that
they would get the reward, which they
had agreed beforehand to divide
equally.

THE SCIENCE OF LIVING.
DR.. George F. Butler Tells How to
Eat and How to As
similate.


intendent of the Alma Springs Sani-
tarium, Alma, Mich, in the October
number OF How to Live" gives some
interesting as well as sensible rules
for acquiring and keeping health. He
says: without we eat and drink, we
diei The provocative to do both rests
with the appetite, which. in process
of time, becomes a very uncertain
guide; for the palate will often induce
a desire and relish for that which Is
most mischievous and indigestible.
The old saying of eat what you like
is now Stunned by everybody of 20
years experience. Still, without appe-
tite, it is very difficult affair to sub
sist-for the pleasure depends chiefly
upon the relish. The relish may be-
one, but 1t Is quite possible to make
the stomach. by a little forbearance
and practice, as enamored of what is
wholesome and nutritious, as of that
which is hurtful and not concoctible."
Again he says: 1.-The delicate
should feed carefully. not abundantly;
it is not quantity which nourishes,
but only that which assimilates."
BE careful of your digestion" is
the keynote of the doctors argument.
He says: Health in man, as in other
animals. depends upon the proper per-
formance of all functions. These
functions may be shortly said to be
three: ~ tissue change; (2) re-
moval of waste; (3) supply of new
material. For the activity of man.
like the heat of the fire by which
he cooks his food, is maintained by
combustion; and just as the fire may
be prevented from burning brightly
by improper disposition of the fuel,
or imperfect supply of air, and as 1t
will certainly go out If fresh fuel is
not supplied, and may be choked by
its own ashes, so mans activity may
be lessened by imperfect tissue change
and may be put an end to by an in
sufficient supply of new material and
imperfect removal of waste products.
''We should see to it that free elm
ination is maintained, for the ashes
must be kept out of the system in or
der to have good health. The skin,
kidneys and bowels must do their
eliminative work properly. If the
bowels occasionally become torpid, try
to regulate them with exercise and
proper food, such as fruits, green
vegetables, salads, cereals, corn, whole
wheat or graham bread, fish, poultry
light soups, etc. Plenty of water Is
also valuable. and a glass full of cold
or hot water the first thing upon ris-
ing in the morning will aid much in
overcoming constipation. Regular
habit, cold baths, and massage are
very efiicacious. In case the consti-
patton does not yield to these hygi-
enic measures, some simple. harmless
laxative may be required, such as Cali
fornia Syrup of Figs-a non-irritating
preparation of senna in fig syrup.
Laxative mineral waters are bene-
fetal in some cases, but not to be EN-.
ployed continually.
Above all be an optimist, keep the
heart young. Cultivate kindness.
cheerfulness and love, and do not for
get that we shall pass through this
world but once Any good thing,
therefore. that we do, or any kind.
ness that we show to any human be.
ing. let us do 1t now. Let us not defer
1t or neglect 1t. for we shall not pass
this way again."
