HONOR NE MORY
GREAT L|NNEUS

STOCKHOLM, May 2S.-All the
All the universities and learned ana
scientific societies of Sweden today
held exercises in celebration of the
200th anniversary of Carl Won Lime.
the father of the modern science Of
botany. Lime. often known as Lin
neus. the Latinized form Of the name,
was born in the province of Smaland
May "a. 1907, and died in Upsela Jan.
10. ITS. He was a naturalist of the
highest rank, and not only was a most
enthusiastic student and explorer. but
placed the knowledge of plant life on
"a scientific basis His system Of
nomenclature still prevails, as does
similar system for zoology.
Lime was son of q Lutheran
clergyman, and in childhood was de-
signed for the ministry. but he was so
fascinated by flowers and plants that
he made no Roadway in his theolog!-
cal studies. His father was advised to
have him taught trade, and in fact
he was apprenticed to a shoemaker.
but, fortunately for the scientific
world, DR.. Rothman. physician at
Wexio. who had noticed the boys en-
thusiasm for botany, prevailed upon
the father to allow him to study mefii-
cine and natural history. The physi-
clan took young Lime into his own
household, and there he studied and
worked among the plants and flowers
for some years.
Starved in Order 10 Study.
Ambitious to pursue his studies, the
young man went to the University of
Upsala. He was unable to obtain en-
ployment, and while at the university
he suffered, at times, from actual hum
ger. Later he attracted the favorable
notice Of one of the professors, who
obtained for him financial assistance.
In 1872 Lime made botanical tour
Of Lapland, mostly ON foot, journey
Of 1000 miles. which resulted In his
first published work on botany. 1t
was so well received that it excited the
jealousy Of DR.. Rosen, professor of
botany in the university faculty. who
had him dismissed from the university
on some shallow pretext. The unfor-
tunate young man then journeyed to
north Sweden, where he assayed met
ais. and did odd jobs at the mines. His
next step led him TO Holland, where he
pursued his studies and completed
several OF his most important botani-
cal works. He was fortunate In find
ing a wealthy patron, who sent him
to study the gardens and herbariums
there. and where he made the ac-
quaintance Of all the English botanists.
He visited Paris. also. and learned the
theories and methods OF the French
gardeners.
Left Medicine for Botany.
Returning finally to. Sweden. he es-
tabiished himself in stockholm as a
physician. His ability was almost
Immediately recognized. and he was
elected president Of the Royal Acad-
envy The chair of botany in the fac
ulty at Upsala was the height of his
ambition, and he attained. It in 1741
upon the retirement of his old enemy,
Professor Rosen. He soon made that
department of science in the Universe
ty of Sweden famous throughout the
entire world, and students came from
all countries TO receive his instruction.
Distinctions of all kinds were de-
slowed upon him by foreign nations
as wen as his own. He was elevated

Rapid Fruiting Cotton.

The Investigations of the Texas Sta
ton have shown that early cottons have
short joints, with the first fruit limbs
near the ground. and that late cottons
have long joints, with the first fruit
limbs considerable distance above the
ground. For early fruiting in the plants
selected the first fruit limbs should
not be higher than the fifth Joint above
the seed half joint, and the first pri-
mary or wood limbs not above the fifth
joint and not exceeding four in num-
Der. For rapid fruiting the Joints on
the main stem, fruit limbs and pri-
mary limbs must be short preferably
not over two or three inches. The fruit
limbs should grow in succession at
each joint of the main stem and pri-
mary limbs and be continuous in
growth for continuous fruiting, and for
productivenesS the bolls should be at
least one and one-half inches in diam
eter, the percentage of lint TO seed cot
ton not less than SO 1-3 and the growth
rapid and vigorous. The rate of growth
is considered very important, and it is
pointed out that the larger the plant of
the type the greater its inherent rate of
growth, its earliness, rapidly of fruit

DR.. TALKS OF FOOD.
Hres. of Board of Health.

What shall l eat:" is the daily in
quiry the physician is met with. 1
do not hesitate to say that in my judg
ment, a large percentage of disease is
caused by poorly selected and improp-
erly prepared food. My personal expe-
rience with the fully cooked food,
known as Grape-Nuts, enables me to
speak freely of its merits.
From overwork. l suffered several
years with malnutrition, palpitation of
the heart, and loss OF sleep. Last
summer | was led to experiment per-
sonally with the new food, which 1
used in conjunction with good rich
COWS milk. In a short time after l
commenced its use the disagreeable
symptoms disappeared, my hearts ac-
ton became steady and normal, the
functions of the stomach were prop
erly carried out and l again slept as
soundly and as well as in my youth.
L look upon Grape-Nuts as perfect
food, and no one can gainsay but that
it has most prominent place in a ra-
uonal. scientific system of feeding. Any
one who uses this food will soon be
convinced of the soundness of the prin-
ciple upon which it is manufactured
and may thereby know the facts as to
its true worth" Read, The Road to

The DeSpiScd CorncOh.

Whoever counted the uses to which
corncobs are put? They make shoppers
for bottles when the corks have been
mislaid, or for the bunghole of the
cider barrel; they are used to throw at
hens when they scratch up the spring
onions: to ferrule the children with );
to grease the griddle; to stop a chink.
A corncob smudge gives ham and bacon
a delicious flavor; one put on a pole,
saturated with kerosene and set a-blaz-
ing will destroy the caterpillar's nest.
kindled, then set a-smoking, they make
a good disinfectant, or rather, deodo-
rizer. You can black boots with them
or shell corn by rubbing the grains on
them. A corncob makes a good scrub
bing brush, and an ingenious woman
once hung out large wash with
clothespins made of sleft corncobs.

Value of n Ton of Manure.

load of fresh manure, one ton, con-
tains ten pounds of nitrogen, two
pounds of phosphorus and ten pounds
of potassium, besides other elements
of plant food not so important in point
of provision. If figured at commercial
prices, the nitrogen at Is cents
pound, the phosphorus at y cents and
the potassium at cents, a ton of such
manure would be worth 1924.
But bare figures are not interesting,
unless their relations TO other things
which do interest US are shown. Corn
fodder, for instance, has 10 pounds OF
nitrogen. two pounds of phosphorus
and II pounds of potassium. 1t is
worth. merely as manure, when figured
as above stated. $3.50.
A ton of oat straw is on the same
basis worth So. Wheat stray IS
worth S275; clover hay, $40; alfalfa
hay, $40: cOwpea hay, SO; timothy
hay. S535. Thus a ton of manure
would be less valuable than ton OF
any of our ordinary field crops, If the
latter were used as fertilizer only, ana
also supposing them to be Immediately
available as plant food.
The fact that they require longer
or shorter period for decay, While
manure is quickly available, accounts
for the more apparent value of the
manure. 1t is interesting to note that
a ton Of manure contains sufficient nj
trOgen for 10 bushels of corn enough
potassium for $40 bushels. For wheat
there is enough nitrogen for s bushels ;
phosphorus for 1873 bushels, and potas-
stun for 36.3 bushels.
Manure has the effect Of making the
soil Iooser and more easily tillable. 1t
gives better color and enables the soil
to drain better and retain moisture bet
ter 1t also sets free other foods from
the soil. Commercial fertilizers require
that other things, such as straw or
green manures. be added, to prevent
the land from becoming killed" as the
condition is often termed

g. Bold Step.

To overcome the Well-grounded and
reasonable objections of the more intel

pounds, DR.. r. V. Pierce, of Buffalo, n.
Y, some time ago, decided to make bold
departure from the usual course pursued
by the makers Of put-up medicines for do
nestle use, and so has published broad
cast and openly to the whole world, full
and complete list of all the ingredients
entering insSthe composition Of his widely
celebrated hedicHes. Thus he has taken
his numerS1s patrons and patients into
his full EOnfl&ence. Thus too he has re-
moved hismedicines from among secret
nostrkpSof doubtful merits, and made

PInWiuR hN Steam

According to the Springfield Oil j
News, the high price of horses is re-
sponsible for new interest on the
part of Illinois farmers in the use Of
steam as a motive power for farm MAJ
chinery and a welI-known dealer in ag-
ricultural implements said recently
that he had sold a farmer over in the
edge of Christian county an extra gang
Llow for use in connection with his
traction engine.
He was asked if it were not rather
expensive TO use steam power where
the farms are cut up into comparative
" small fields, and said:
1t is possible to do it conveniently
if the land is plowed the right way.
Remember that if a man uses horses
he will have to buy FIVE additional
horses ard another gang pillow any way,
and you know that under the present
conditions the cost of the horses alone
will run pretty well up to or beyond
$1,000, and there is the piow besides

them through the winter or selling
them at q loss, with that other common
chance of one or more of them lying
down and dying and putting him over
$500 to the bad for each horse With
the steam plow he can break up from
thirty to forty acres a day and break
it good and deep so that with good luck
he can get his entire body of corn land,
amounting to 800 acres ready for plant

considerable expense for the farmer.
Just at this time of the year horses
are getting pretty scarce, and even
