THE BREADFRuIT TREE.
Many Ways In Which This Strange
Tropical Plant Is Utilized.

The breadfruit tree is native of
southern Asia, the West Indies, the
south Pacific. islands and the Indian
archipelago. In appearance it re-
sembles somewhat the wild chest
nut. It grows to the height of forty
or fifty feet and has dark green
leaves, many Of them two feet in
length, which are deeply divided
into pointed lobes.
Hidden among the great leaves
the breadffuit grows. 1t is nearly
spherical, often weighs foar or more
pounds and has a thick yellow rind.
This fruit IS the chief food Of the
south sea islanders. They seldom
eat a meal without it. The eatable
part lies between the rind and the
core and when fally ripe is yellow
and juicy. The fruit is better be-
fore it has fully matured, and the
natives gather it while the pulp is
white.
Before it is ready for table use it
must be roasted, when it looks like
wheat bread and is both palatable
and nutritious. Usually the fruit
is cut into three or four slices and
roasted OF baked in an oven.
Frequently the people of village
join in making a huge oven, in
which several hundred breadfruits
may be baked at one time. Thus
they are all supplied with bread
without its costing any of them
much labor. Prepared in this way
the bread will keep for weeks.
The breadfruit is in season eight
months of the year. When the sea-
son finally draws to a close the last
fruits are gathered and made into a
sour paste, called 'Smahel." This
paste viii keep good for months and
is made into balls, wrapped in
leaves and baked just as needed.
Bread is not the only product of
the breadfruit tree. From it ce-
ment, cloth, tinder and lumber are
also obtained. A glutinous, milky
juice oozes from the trunk of the
tree, which makes an excellent ce-
ment when boiled with coeoanut oil.
From the fbrous inner bark a kind
of coarse cloth is made, and the big
leaves make good towels. The lum-
Der is used for building houses and
many other purposes. Besides all
this, the dried blossoms are used as
tinder when fires are kindled.-Ral-
timore Sun.

PIGEON POINTERS.
information Which Ought to 5e Help
fui to the SQUAD Raiser.

-
Take little stock in the dealer who
tries to convince you that minated
birds are as good as mated ones
Stock purchased should be tolerabiy
young and, above all, In thorough
health and condition.
Iadersized. delicate, weakly hens
are the most disastrous scourge to the
squab producers loft.
/ A SQUAD makes great growth the first
twelve hours and after the third day
fsakes rapid progress.
Reduce the corn and increase the
quantity of wheat and peas, as these
TWO grains are more nutritious and bet
Ter for the growing of young birds.
The time to market the squads is Just
when they are ready to leave the nest.
They are then what pigeon men cali
ripe
The American Stock Keeper advises
breeding from birds with a well de-
veloped breast and length of keel, for
this is where the epicure looks for the
meat. Breed also from light skinned
birds, as the dark meated ones always
sell at lower figure.
Pigeons cannot thrive long without
grit, and this is one of the chief rea-
sons why people do not have success
in rearing birds.
Always keep sharp lookout for ver-
min, and promptly fight them.
Canker and Scrofulous diseases are
more or less due to an impure state of
the blood, in which cases there should
be thorough cleansing of the bowels.
The sick should be placed in separate
and dry coops, and salt added to the
drinking water.
Fat squads cannot be produced by
overfeeding. This system induces the
old birds to put on fat, resulting in
lazy breeders and neglected youngsters.
Two handfuls of hemp to fifty pig
cons is about the right quantity in
days ration.
An English authority claims that a
pair of pigeons consumes on an aver
age little more than a pint of grain
per week.
If SQUADS are killed before they fly
the flesh is white, but after that it
darkens, reducing the price in market.
Birds bred from good foundation
stock will show their good qualities
for several generations to coma
Small, delicate hen pigeons cannot
produce squads that weigh more than
seven pounds to the dozen.
Going light is a form of consump-
ton. There are two kinds-the quick
and the slow. For the first there Is
nothing to be done, but the latter case,
if taken in time, may be cured When
molting is the fault, merely pulling
out the tail feathers will sometimes ef-
feet a cure.
Inbreeding is the cause of most
cases Of 'going light" in the pigeon
loft.

The Balloon Plant,

The balloon plant is one Of the
most curious devices Of nature for
scattering seeds. The fruit is yel-
low and a little larger than an egg.
It has the appearance of an empty
bag, but it contains a watery SUBJ
stance, which evaporates or dries up
when the fruit natures, sort of
gas taking its place. This gas is
lighter than air, and the fruit sways
back and forth in the wind until it
finally breaks loose from its slender
stem, rises into the air to a height
of from rs to 100 feet and sails
away to fall in some distant spot
and thus extend the growth of its
kind.

An Optical Experiment.

An interesting optical experiment
may be made with the ordinary in
eandescent light. Gaze steadily at
the light for a few seconds, then
suddenly extinguish it. The ex-
pertinent is best performed in a
very dark room. In about half a
minute you will see the perfect i'm
age of the light, with the fine
strands of wire plainly visible. It
will be red at first. In a few min
utes it will turn purple and then a
bright blue. Later it will apparent
ly move to the right. AS you turn
your gaze it will continue moving
to the right. If you keep your gaze
fixed it will come back. It is sur
prising how long the illusion will
last. It will be seen for fully five
minute, perhaps longer, and if you
turn on the light and look away
from it you will see the old image
for several minutes, though more
family than in the darkness.-Bal-

A Good Reason.

Manders is very severe on his little
son. He says that the boy has got to
grow up a sensible member Of society.
and he (Manders) will see that he does.
He had just spoken very sharply to
the boy for asking questions without
thinking what he was asking, and
Tommy was sitting in the corner with
his eyes fixed on the ceiling.
"Do you think you will get prize
for good conduct at school, Tommy"
asked mamma, anxious to create d.
version.
81 don't think so, ma" responded
Tommy timidly.
Flows that?' asked Manders stern
ly before mamma could interfere.

Why won't you get a prize for good
conduct? Answer me at once"
"Cos they don't give any, father"
answered the boy.

he saw his wife smile he went out and
slammed the door after him.-Pearson's

RAISING HOGS
FOR MARKET.

Writing in American Cultivator on
his method of raising hogs for market,
j. P. Fletcher, the New York breeder,
says:
/ always raise my own feeders. 1 get
better bred pigs. No one can afford to
buy pure breds for market, and yet no
pig win fatten as proftabIy as one that
IS well bred from mature stock. 1 am
more sure of healthy stock with pigs
that have been raised in my own pens.
Then, too, it is cheaper to raise the
pigs than to buy.
The feeding should be begun as soon
as the pigs viii eat if it is to be done
for the largest profit. Keep the pigs
growing from the very start They
have good sized pasture with excellent
grass. l keep them on this until about
six or eight weeks before selling. All
this time 1 feed them well with slop
and dry corn, so when turn them into
the yards they are well started in the
fattentng process.
While they are in the yards 1 keep
increasing the corn ration until the
hogs are getting all they will eat. 1
supplement this with slop made from
some meal, such as ground corn, oats
or rye. This is mixed with skim milk
from thirty cows and what 1 can buy.
/ find that a mixture of cornmeal, rye
and skim milk will make more growth
and the meal and milk fatten the hogs
faster, thus making pork cheaper than
when grain is used without milk or
milk without grain.
1 regard skim milk as a valuable
part of the hog ration, worth at least

The CodIinu Moth In Illinois,

While spraying for the first brood of
the codling moth is a common prac-
tice among Illinois apple growers, very
few have as yet attempted to control
the second brood by spraying, and serii-
GUS damage often results from the
work Of this late brood even in or:
chards which have been sprayed for
the first brood. In central Illinois the
first worms of the second brood enter
the apples about July 20, and most of
the codling moth injuries apparent up
on winter apples at picking time are
due to the work of this brood. A seri-
GUS attack of the second brood is most
disheartening to the grower, for the
injury is done after the apples have
attained considerable size and even
commenced to color, so that after the
crop is apparently made large per-
centage of it may be ruined by the
worms

Milk For the EoaI.

If the mare is required for light
work, the foal may get some new milk
from COW, to which one needs add
O little sugar and water. The nearest
approach to mares milk is brought
about by adding one part of water to
three parts of cows milk and one or
two teaspoonfuls of white soft sugar
to pint of the mixture. If the mare
is separated from the foal for any
length of time, she should always be
millled out before again gaining ac-
cess TO the foal. The long secreted
milk in the udder is considered very
unwholesome food for the newly born
animal. - Farmer and Stockbreeder,

Trials of the UnempIoYed,

Once there was young Boetian who
had money. One day he looked at his
clothes, Of which he had a great many,
and he saw that they needed to be
brushed and folded, SO he told his serv-
ant to do it for him. Then he went
downstairs and noticed that all his
manuscripts were in disorder, so he
hired a man to sort them out and to
make list of them. Next he went to
the stable and found one of his horses
sick, so he asked a man to get him an
other one. The other horse needed ex-
ercise, so he engaged a groom to ex-
ercise the horse.
He looked at a puppy which he had
and said. "Why, it's time that puppy
was trained to find birds,'' so he sent
the puppy away to man to be taught.
Then he went into the house and
yawned. Dear me-" said he, "how
dull it is with nothing to do! wish I
had something to do"
The Boetians were barbarians.-

further growth of the plant. The pres
ence of the tiles will cause the leaves
to draw up above the top of the tiles,
thereby forming screen over the top

If the common unglazed tiles are used
the evaporation from their surface has
a tendency to keep the plant cool dur

30 cents per hundred pounds when
mixed with grain, either whole or
ground-that is, If dollars worth of
feed be used for hogs, 80 cents worth,
or 100 pounds of skim milk, would
make the ration more valuable than If
the whole dollar was used for grain
with only water instead of skim milk.
This skim milk keeps the hog healthy
and therefore thrifty, preventing con-
stipation and It's attending evils, espe-
cially swine plague or hog cholera, the
dread of all farmers raising hogs. In
fact, 1 cannot recall case of hog chol-
era or other disease among hogs where

Gently sold nice, thrifty hog, weigh

wholly ON skim milk from his dairy,
which shows that we can make pork
ers equal to the best grain fed and
more healthy than those fed on grain
alone.
There is such variation in results
Of experiments conducted to ascertain
whether it is best to grind feed for
hogs that the individual feeder is left
to be his own judge and to ascertain
for himself whether it pays best to
grind the feed or to feed it whole. My
experience has been that young ami
mails will chew their feed better than
old ones and that almost any hog will
chew corn very well before it dries out
While young hogs will chew dry corn
reasonably well. old ones are liable to
pass half the grains unbroken in their
voidingS. Last year I undertook to
fatten stag five years old, and the
ance, crack half the grains.
am now fattening a SOW about the
same age, and the same is true with
her. l am feeding her ground feed
now, however, and feel pretty sure
that it pays me to go. to the trouble
Of grinding it. If the grains are not
broken, it is a clear case that the an
imal will not get much benefit from the
feed, and when any considerable guam
tity of grains is voided without chew
ing by the animal it would seem to be
the best plan to have the feed ground.
OF course it will be some trouble and
cost to grind the feed, but if the ami
mails are not chewing their feed well
the extra trouble will be amply repaid
in extra grain from the same amount
of feed
