Now Famous Phrase First Used b.
Charles the Second.
The saying TELL it to the marines"
Is traced to Pepys, the author Of the
famous DIARY" and it is said by him
to have originated with Charles II. Of
England. 1t so befell, as the story
goes, that his light-hearted majesty,
with an exceedingly bored expression
on his swarthy face, was strolling in
the shade with the ingenious Mr..
Pepys, secretary to the admiralty.
II had speech yester cen at Dept
ford" said Mr.. Pepys, with the cap
tain of the Defyance, who hath but
lately returned from the indies and
who told me the two most wonderful
things that ever l think did hear
in my life." Among the stories told
were Of fish flying in the air. Fish
flying in the air." exclaimed his maj
esty. "Ha! ha! quaint conceit,
which 'twere too good to spoil WI
keeping! What no! sir''-he turned
and beckoned the colonel, Sir William
Killigrew of the newly raised mari
time regiment on foot, who was fol-
lowing in close conversation with the
duke of York-"We would discourse
with you on a matter touching your
element. What say you, colonel, to
man who swears he hath seen fishes
fly in the air."
81 should say. SIR returned the
sea soldier simply, that the man hath
sailed In southern seas. For when
your majesty's business carried me
thither Of late l did frequently observe
more flying fish in one hour than the
hairs Of my head in number
His majesty glanced narrowly at
the colonel's frank, weatherbeaten
face. Then with laugh he turned to
the secretary.
"'Mr. Pepys,' said he, from the
very nature of their calling no class Of
our subjects can have so wide knowl-
edge Of seas and lands as the officers
and men of our loyal maritime regi-
ment. Henceforth ere ever we cast
doubts upon tale that lacketh likeli-
hood we will first tell it to the ma

Profit in ADDleA.

With the passing years there seems
to be more imperative necessity Cor
impressing the fact upon the apple
growers that they must have a clearer
conception Of higher ideals. No matter
how abundant or cheap the prices of
apples may be in the market, there is
always the unbounded assurance that
first-class, fancy apples will bring the
best of prices, and there is no danger
whatever of overstocking the market
with such fruit. Such class of I'D
pies will often sell readily at So and 81
barrel, when the poorer grades could
hardly be given away.-Apple Special

Hillside Earmn

The hill lands Of Georgia are not per.
mitted to wash away down the steep
hillsides- Around such hills there are
bands or terraces thrown up with great
care to stop the downward rush of wa
ter, and thus the washing tendency is
checked as soon as begun. These belts
of firm sod land are most effective.
They rise one above the other In steps
of FIVE or eight feet In vertical height.
The rows bend around the hill, con-
forming strictly to these terraces. This
is most excellent system and one bad

better. For several years Western

or up to so to 90 pounds, they
sell for almost twice as much. As a
rule the farmers who sell the young
lambs have feed enough to finish them

this extra feed had to be bought at
market prices there would be no loss,
for feeders are buying both sheep and

Chemical Weed Killer.

A chemical weed killer has been de
veloped or tested by the Wisconsin cx-
pertinent station in attempts to kill
wild mustard, cocklebur, yellow dock,
etc. The peculiar thing claimed for this
poison is that when sprayed on a grow
ing grain crop infested by weeds II
kills the weeds without injury to the
cultivated crop. The solution used
consists of 100 pounds of iron sulphate
dissolved in fifty-four gallons Of water,
which amount will spray an acre.

Oats for Hogs,

Oats may be portion of a ration for
hogs, but they are much more satisfac-
tory IL they are ground. Mixed with
corn, oats and shorts, they add materi-
ally to the value of any hog feed. They
should not constitute more than one
fourth of the grain ration. A mixture
of oats and peas ground and fed as a
swill is exceedingly valuable.-Ameri-

The General Purpose Farm Horse.

Idea that all they have to do is to breed
their nondescript mares to the leggy,
coarse type of so called coach horses
being peddled through the country to
get the general purpose farm horse. l

kind of breeding and must say that not
8 per cent of them are even fair speci-
mems Of the general purpose horse,
while 90 per cent or more are failures
from every point of view.
have seen much better results
where the coach stallion has been a
finer and more compactly built one or
where a hackney or American trotter
of compact, smooth, muscular type
has been the sire. These observations
have led me to the conclusion that this
latter plan is the surest one to bring
some measure of success in producing
the general purpose farm horse.-Geo.

Ranchman's Novel courtship.

Louis l.. Kramer came all the way
from Yuma, Cal, to marry a girl he
had never seen. The bride was Miss
Flora Weise, a pretty young woman
of Tazewell county.
The groom wrote to his aunt here,
Mrs. Patterson, to put him in COM
munication with a girl who would
make him good wife, as he was '1ohe-
Iy on his ranch in Colorado. Mrs.
Patterson recommended Miss Weise,
a neighbor's daughter, and correspond
ence was begun. ri
The girl was taken with the r0,
nance of the affair and when photo
graphs were exchanged and proved
satisfactory a proposal quickly fol-
lowed. An acceptance was written
and then Kramer came east to claim
his bride. The marriage was cele-
brated the day after his arrival afid

BIRDS TRAVEL ALONG ROUTES.
All Have Not Same Range-swaIlows'
Great Distance.

The routes by which birds pass to
and from one country to another in
spring and autumn are regularly fol-
lowed. One great thoroughfare, of
course, is in the spring from south to
north, and conversely in the autumn
from north to south; another is south
east to northwest; a third southwest
to northeast, with the return into the
same starting points, says the Scot.
| man.
The great southern wintering region
is south of the north of Africa and
extends to far beyond the equator,
and from it, under the breeding in
stinct in spring, birds hurry away to
disperse themselves over the wide
spreading palaearctic or northern
lands, which extend as far, in the
case Of some species, as long way
within the arctic circle. South of the
| equator during the northern winter
the migrants fly toward the south pole
| to breed. The seasonal range limit
of some of the northern breeding
| birds is enormous-several extending
from Patagonia to Greenland.
All migratory birds have not the
same range; some fly longer, some
| shorter, distances. The best known
of all the birds of passage, the swal-
| low has one of the longest ranges
| from 1000 to 10000 miles. In this
extended range are also included such
birds as the gray plover, the knot, the
pectoral and curlew sandpipers and
the Asiatic golden plover.
The longer range-from 5000 to
1000 miles--includes such well-known
| birds as the cuckoo, the corncrake,
the sedge warbler the greenshank;
the moderate range-from 5000 to
5000 miles-embraces the turtle dove,
the crane, lapwing, mallard and jack
snipe; the third range-from 1000 to
1000 miles-such birds as the wood
chat shrike, the stone curlew, the
woodcock and black tern and in what
is called the restricted area-with a
mileage of 1000 miles downward
there are the waxwings, several gulls
and the elder duck.

COVERED MILK PALS.
Facts Which Go to Prove That They
Are Best.

The Storrs, Conn. agricultural ex-
pertinent station has carefully tested
the various devices in covered milk
pals in producing sanitary milk and
in reducing the incident bacteria in
the process of milking. In bulletin 4S
in which these experiments are shown
is the following summary of results
and recommendations:
/. The use of the covered milk pail
Is Of great advantage in any stable
in excluding dirt and bacteria from
the milk. The relative advantage
gained by the use of the cover de-
pends upon the sanitary condition of
the stable.
2. The special form of cover does
not seem to be important provided it
is device practical for use and the
area through which dirt can gain ac-
cess to the milk is reduced as much
as possible.
3. Whether or not a strainer on the
covered pail is desirable depends upon
the style of the straining device.
4. The use of the strainer in a pail
where the dirt which falls into the
opening is likely to be driven through
by the succeeding streams of milk is
not desirable. Its use tends to in
crease the germ content of the milk
and injure its keeping quality.
5. In pals where the dirt which
falls in does not remain where the sue.
ceeding streams strike against it a
strainer cloth aids in keeping down
the number of bacteria which gain ac-
cess to the milk.
