SHAFTS VISIT TC THE CURES.
Why the Potentate Gave Only a Small
Sum to the Laboratory.

The late Shah of Persia, during one
of his numerous visits to Paris, expressed
the wish to see NJ. and Nine. Curie
and to be shown a specimen of the Won
derful radium. NJ. and Nine Curie
very much against their inclination, had
to accede as Il matter of course to the
Persian potentate's request.
In order that the wonderful glow of
the radium might be seen to the best ad-
vantage, says the Girls Realm, the room
was darkened, but the Shah, who was
when the electric light was switched off.
and, rising. abruptly from his chair, up
set the case which contained the radium.
The lights wert of course. Immediately
turned on again. and the Shah recovered
his eQUanimity; but the Curies had quite
lost theirs. SO upset were they at the
danger to their precious radium.
The Shah, to show that he was quite
as capable as any European sovereign
of rewarding genius. proceeded to take
from his breast one of his richly be-
jewelled orders to present it to Pierre
Curie. The latter, however, declined
it. saying that as he had refused the
Legion of Honor it was quite impossible
for him to accept Il foreign ORDER. The
Shah next drew rich diamond ring
Curie declined, adding that he would
accept nothing for himself or his wife,
but that if his Majesty pleased he
could give something toward the ex-
penSeS of the laboratory.
BY this time the Oriental potentatc
was vexed that his munihcent gifts had
been so coldly rejected, and he only
gave the paltry sum of 200 francs for
the laboratory.

At this time of year, says a we'll

weak, clogged and inactive, failing to
filter out the poisons and acids, which
sour the blood, causing not only ia

Dfstnfection of Stables.

In discussing the Importance of the
disinfection of stables and the danger
of neglecting it DR.. Haring of Califor
MIA points out that negligence III prop
erly disinfecting stalls and stables
where animals affected with contagious
diseases have been is frequently the
cause Of 4 temperance of the dis
ease" The germs of CHAMBERS, for ex-
ample, may remain alive in stables for
several months after the diseased ami
mails have been removed, and if thor
ough disinfection is not resorted to all
animals housed in the stable are sub
ject to infection from this source
Many failures to eradicate tuberculosis
from dairy herds by the repeated appli-
cation of the tuberculosis test and the
prompt removal of all reaching animals
are due to the fact that the stables
were not disinfected" Tuberculosis
spreads rapidly among cattle closely
herded together. To prevent this sta
bles should be thoroughly disinfacted at
least once year.

Do Bees Think

Maurice Materlinck, the Belgian
writer, adduces a number of interest
ing facts, in an article in Harper's
Magazine, to show that bees have the
power of thinking. Transported to Cal
ifornia, he says, our black bee COM
pletely alters her habits. After one or
two years, finding that summer is per-
petual and flowers forever abundant,
she will live from day to day, content
to gather the honey and pollen indis-
pensable for the days consumption !;
and her recent and thoughtful observa-
ton triumphfng over hereditary expe-
rience, she will cease to make provis-
ion for her winter. Buchner mentions
an analogous fact: In Barbados, the
bee whose hives are in the midst of the
retineries, where they find suger dur
ing the whole year, entirely abandon
their visits to the flowers.

The Manure Heap.

Though by fermentation and by fork
ing over the manure is made fine and
soluble it must not be overlooked that
the process is a gradual one, and hence
every rain that saturates the heap car
ries downward the soluble parts as
soon as the manure is decomposed.
The jet-black liquid that flows off
from the heap is the richest Of the
farm, and as it passes away the ready
plant food which is dissolved in it is
lost, leaving behind Il mass of matter,
often supposed to be the most valuable
because Of its bulk, but which really
IS not worth the labor of hauling to
the field. Unless the manure. therefore,
be carefully preserved, it will be value
less. 1t should be protected from
drenching rains and the influence of,
neat from the direct rays of the sun.
Plenty Of absorbent material should be
added to absorb the volatile matter,
ana water is also beneficial to the
heap, provided that it does not drench
or flow off. The manure heap should

to prevent "fre-fangins" This may
require additional labor, but the saw
ing of the essential elements of the
manure will be more than a compen-

principal rules to be observed are to
prevent loss by rain, preservation of
volatile matter with moisture and alb
sorbents have the manure fine, and
also to endeavor to have it thoroughly
decomposed.

as this fact has been shown by using
both kinds of manure on growing

HOrseff esh Is Food,

1t would be, perhaps, inaccurate to
say that horsefesh is becoming appre-
ciated in France TO an increasing de-
gree. Necessity may be as potent
factor in the case as choice But what
ever the explanation, there can be no
doubt that the consumption of horse
flesh is increasing in Paris to an enor-
nous extent. In 1899 the years CON
sumption was about 5000 tons, total
which one would scarcely expect to see
largely augmented within a brief per-
iod. This, however, is what has hap
pened. The consumption at the end of
1906 had more than doubled. 1t stands
for 1906 at 1000 tons. The number
OF horses was 10000.

Value of EnsiIage,

Ensilage is valuable as means of
dieting stock in winter, affording them
green, succulent food at that season.
when nothing but the dry material can
be had. For that reason, if for no
other, it is valuable adjunct to the
crops used for food. The farmer who
has no ensilage, but who stores in
crop of sugar beets, mangeIs, turnips,
carrots or potatoes, will find himself
fortunate in having a variety. There
is no difficulty in feeding roots if they
are properly stored. Roots are injured
more by heat than by cold. Freezing is
not injurious if roots are not thawed
out too suddenly. BY keeping them at
an even temperature they will last
