BLACKHEAD AMONG TURKEYS.

BLACKHEAD AMONG TURKEYS.
Commenting on the rep 1rts CT tur-
keys all over the Upited States being
stricken with the fatal "blackhead, ;"
an English poultryman says in Coun-
try Gentleman: IF at this stage an
outsider may lie permitted to venture
an opinion, it is that this disease is
due to neglect Cf ordinary hygienic
principles. On some of the turkey
farms | visited no one could be sur
prised at disease making its appear
ance. In addition to unsuitable
houses, to want Of cleanliness, it was
evident that the land is what may be
termed turkey sick Under such
conditions it cannot be surprising
that disease should break out, and if
the present epidemic-for such it
must be regarded-has the result OF
calling attention to and insuring the
adoption Of better methods, it will
not have been in vain. That is nat.
ure's way Of teaching her lessons.

cow FOR THE SMALL FARMER.

COW FOR THE SMALL FARMER.
The farmer of small means living
on forty to 100 acres needs u COW
that is kind and docile AMI produces
a large flow of milk the year rounl
for family use as milk, butter and
cheese. AS the farmer himself is hon
est, industrious ans a laboring man
and usually with a family of little
ones, in a majority CT cases he is
obliged to work in the fields early
and late and some female member o.
the household is expected not only to
milk, but to care for the milk in all
it's details. AS the animals increase
and grow up he may desire to put one
into beef or kill veal for home con-
sumption The Holstein COW will
possibly come nearer to supporting
such a family and furnish better
means of cutting off outside expenses
than any breed now in general use.
FThis breed makes a better beef ami
nal than any other belonging to the
milking class. Weekly Witness.

MONEY ON EIGHTY ACRES.

within two and a half miles Of Gaia
wissa. a railroad town, within thirty
eight miles Of St. Louis. I keep five
or six COWS. If I sell my calves at
six weeks old for veal, / get SIS to $40
each. If l have only 100 bushels Of
apples I get from seyenty-fve cents
to 81 per bushel I took in load Of
chickens Thanksgiving week and sold
them for eleven cents per pound.
The way to make eighty acres Of
land clear $1,000 per year is to get
where the middleman does not get it
all for handling your product.
Land here is worth So to $40 per
acre. and it can be turned any way
Won like from a dairy farm to a grain,
noultry or hogs-just as you like. If
the prices do not suit you here, you
can haul your produce direct to st.
Louis.
That is the way I make $1,000 OF
more by getting where I can sell my
own product direct to the consumer.
Even my honey I take direct to the
citv and sell to the consumer. AS I
said if you are too far from market
the middleman and freight consume
one-half of the price Of your produce.

Soul LONELINESS.

Near acquaintance with loneliness
shows whether it is genuine or not. It
is the kind of beauty that bears daily
inspection that lasts to and through
old age. One may have perfect fea-
lures, dazzling skin, ideally perfect
teeth, wonderfully graceful figure,
but If one Is fretful, whining, childish,
selfish or arrogant-well, what's the
use of the beauty part? The spirit
must manifest itself with beautiful
thoughts and beautiful acts, else the
physical projections will appear abso-
lutely ugly and tiresome. Many wo-
man has started in with cosmetics and
physical culture and while identifying
the physical self has discovered the
possibilities of soul loneliness.

Real Use Of the Bees Stina.

'The bees sting is a trowel, not a
rapier," said a nature student. 'It is
an exquisitely delicate little trowel
with which the bee finishes off the
honey cell, injects little preservative
inside and seals it up. With its trowel-
like sting the bee puts the final touches
on the dainty and wonderful work.
With the sting it pats and shapes the
nGn2y cell, as a mason pats and shapes
& rev of brick. Before sealing UP the
cell ii drops a wee bit of poison into
the honey. This is formic acid. With
out it honey would spoil. Most of us
think the bees sting, with its poison,
is weapon only. 1t is q weapon sec
ondarily, but primarily it is q magic
troyel, a trowel from whose end. as
the honey cells are built up, wonder

The Weatherina of Coal.

1t is probably not generally known
that coal exposed to the atmosphere
undergoes chemical changes greatly
affecting its quality. Moisture is the
most powerful agent in producing such
change. 1t is matter OF common
knowledge among men engaged in the
making of Illuminating gas that coal
which has Geen stored for long time
experiences loss of hydrocarbons.
and the effects of the change are
shown in diminution of the volume
of the coal and In loss of iiluminat-
Ing power in the gas produced from it.
Such chemical changes occurring IN
great masses Of coal may even produce
sufficient accumulation of heat to cause
spontaneous combustion.

HOLDING 4 SKIRT.
Tts Way Il May ss Done Gracefully

The Way Il May BE Done 0racesuusy
and With Comfort.
TO hold circular skirt In becom-
Ing way bend the body slightly at the
waist line. dropping the right hand as
far down the back as it viii reach.
Then, with the finger tips, take Oppo-
site the knees the edges Of two Of the
back folds, or cores, gather them into
light but firm loop and pull gently
around the body to the right, lifting
the material upward until on line
with the hip: then bend the wrist
slightly, 80 1t will be comfortable, and
rest the hand on the hip bone, SO that
there VIII be no strain on the muscles
Of the arm.
II the skirt is so long that the bot
tom on the opposite side touches the
ground, few horizontal folds should
be made In the material. At the same
time the cores In the back are gather
ed together, and then there will be no
chance for the skirt to drag, for the
cloth will be held SO tightly that the
improvised plaits will stay in place,
says an exchange. Or if woman
wishes and has both hands free she
can hold the folds and give balance
to her figure that it would otherwise
be without.
Carrying full gathered skirt, such
as Is often worn to the opera, recep-
tons and for dinners, is quite a simple
matter, for it IL nothing more than
making bag by folding the ends OF
handkerchief together.
The skirt is picked up with thumbs
and forefngers at the back by the bot
tom or edge of the hem and straight
ened out at the waist line, while the
hands are extended as far to right and
left as they will reach. When the ma
terial has been settled in folds around
the waist, with one hand holding the
two sides together in front, the skirt
is caught up directly in the middle OF
the front, and the three edges are held
firmly in either the right or left hand.

completed around the skirt. Now the
skirt is marked an even thirty six inch
es from the floor. Take it off. lay it on
a table and with the yardstick mark

one-half inches, which is one and one

can be very quickly placed even by a
man, who seems to find no objection to

Mercury and Air.

The reason that mercury rises and
falls In the barometer is that dry air is
heavy, moist air Is light, and the col
umn Of mercury is affected by atmos-
pheric pressure. The tube Of barom

air when moist cannot support the
weight Of the mercury. When the air
Is dry, the mercury cannot resist its
weight; hence the rise and fall in dry
and wet weather.

THE LEAD PENCIL.
II Development From the Markers
Used BY the Ancien.s.

IL Development From the Markers
Used BY the Ancienss.
1t IS difficult to determine the exact
period In which black lead" was first
utilized as an instrument for writing
or drawing. as it has been confused
with other mineral bodies to- which 1t
bears no relation. The ancients used
lead. but the metal was formed into
dat plates and the edges Of these plates
used to make the mark. If an orna-
mental design was desired, the tran
scriber drew parallel lines and traced
therein Illuminated designs. usually
with a hard point, but also with soft
lead. That lead was known to the an
clients is also proved by the fact that
1t is mentioned in the book of Job.
During the year 1915 there was q de-
scription Of the black lead pencil writ
ten by Conrad Gesner. He says that
pieces Of plumbago were fastened in a
wooden handle and a mixture of fossil
substance, sometimes covered with
wood, was used for writing and draw
ing. About half century later very
good account of this mineral was CIV
en-, and it was then used in Italy for
drawing and mixed with clay for man
ufacturing crucibles.
We are informed in Beckman's His
tory Of Inventions" that the pencils
first used In Italy for drawing were
composed of mixture of lead and tin,
nothing more than pewter. This pen
Gil was called stile. Michael Angelo
mentions this stile, and, in fact, it
seems that such pencils were long used
in common over the whole continent
Of Europe. At this period the name
plumbago or grhphite was not in use,
but instead the name molybdena or
molybdoids, which is now applied to
an entirely different mineral.
Graphite or black lead is formed in
the primary rocks. In the United
States it occurs in feldspar and quartz,
In Great Britain in greensboro rock
and gneiss and in Norway in quartz.
The mine at Borrowdale, England, has
supplied some of the finest black lead
in the world, but the quantity varies
owing to the irregularity with which
| the mineral occurs.
The Jews were for awhile the only
manufacturers Of pencils. 1t required
great skill to perfect the manufacture,
according to the degree Of hardness or
softness required. OF recent years the
| manufacture Of pencils has increased
to such an extent that the price of
these articles has decreased proper.
tionately. Graphite and pure clay are
combined and used In the manufacture
Of artificial black lead pencils, and, on
the other hand, the greatest perfection
is attained in the making Of the higher
class pencils. Graphite is exposed to
heat to acquire firmness and brilliancy
of color. Sulphur Is also used to secure
a more perfect color.-Scientific Amer.
