Value of Co-OperAtion

Sir Horace Plunkett, member Of the
British house Of parliament, who has
been in this country recently, said In
an address to agricultural students
that there was mot single county,
not parish, In Ireland where the
farmers are not completely revolution
izlng the entire business Of farming by
introducing cooperative methods" And
1t might be added that there is scarce
ly farming district in the United
States where more benefits canont be
realized by a closer cooperation Of the
farmers. The farmers are understand
ing each other better each year and
are coming closer together in all mat
ters which pertain to their mutual in
terests, but there are still greater possi-
bilities ahead. Describing the 900 Co
operative organizations Of peasants in
Ireland which he was instrumental in
establishing for the purpose of compe-
tition with commercial industries, fore
Ing out middlemen. compelling rail
roads to provide better facilities. and
debating more favorable legislation to
parliament, done: "The first thing was
to introduce system of agricultural
education which extended into every
branch Of the industry, teaching the
farmer, for instance, to purchase every
thing he requires, implements and ma
chlnery, of the very best quality. They
combined to consign in bulk and dis
tribute their goods in the market. They
combined to raise working capital for
their operations. They combined to
own breeding animals. They did just
what you are doing here, brought sci
ence into farming by getting it into the
schools. They had the same system of
instruction and experimentation sup
piled by your government"

One OF the simplest ways Of keeping
cabbage Is to store In an orchard or
some sheltered place, often alongside
a fence which has been made tight oy
liberal use of straw. The cabbagcs
are stored with their stems on and are
placed head down and as close together
as possible. Two or three tiers are
often made. the heads Of the second
tier being placed between stems OF the
lower, and SO on, the piles being made
of any width and length desired. The
whole Is covered with leaves, salt grass
hay or straw and little soil, rails,
brush or litter. Small unstable heads
when stored in this way in November
will continue to develop during winter
and frequently sell as well as any IN
February. Small quantities may be
stored by plowing out two or three fur
rows ten or twelve inches deep on a
well drained site and placing the heads
with their stems up as close together
as possible. Some prefer to lay them
but one or two thick, while others Will
pile them UP two to two and hair
feet high. bringing them to point.
The pile is then covered with straw,
salt grass hay or thin layer OF straw
and then several inches Of soil. They
are stored before freezing. and when
the soil covering them is frozen 1t may
be covered with strawy manure or any
other litter to keep the soil frozen un
til the cabbages are needed for sale.

An Electric Incuba tor.

Electricity has been applied to incu
baton by Otto Schultz, an electrician
Of Strassburg and is the result Of three
years Of experimentation. The appara
tus is made for so, 100 or 200 eggs, and
Is designed to obviate the difficulties
connected with the ordinary form oil
incubator. The manipulation Of the ap
paratus Is very simple, and it's mainte
nance depends only upon an uninter-
rupted supply Of electricity.
An automatic attachment keeps the
temperature within tenth of a de
gree Of the normal temperature Of in
cubation. The degree Of saturation of
the air Is kept in the same manner.
Under ordinary conditions, ninety
chickens can be counted on out of 100
eggs incubated. The quantity Of elec-
ticity required is very small, for an in
cubator holding fifty eggs, ten to TWEEN
ty watts being sufficient, depending
upon the temperature Of the outer air.
For raising the chickens after they
are hatched. an electric mother" has
been devised. The upper part is de-
voted to the freshly hatched chickens.
while the lower part Is arranged so
that the chicks can run around on the
ground and at the same time find heat
and protection when they desire The
electric incubator has already proven
very successful

Test Seeds af Home

The Department Of Agriculture In
order to aid farmers to determine for
themselves without much trouble 1he
termination value of seeds has issued
a short bulletin on the subject. A very
simple apparatus for sprouting seeds
is described. 1t consists Of a shallow
basis In which is placed small fiat Of
porous clay. The seeds, after having
been soaked. are laid between two
sheets Of moist blotting paper or fan
mel. A pane Of glass covers the dish.
which should be kept in temperature
of about 20 degrees. Atmosphere Of
an ordinary living room is suitable IL
the apparatus is left near a stove at
night Several kinds of seeds may be
tested at once at tritiing cost The
bulletin cautions the farmer against
extremes of heat or moisture.

HATTLESNAKE PALACES,
Serpent 1s Dangerous Even After Re-
mOval OF Poison FanSs.

serpent IN Dangerous Even After Re-
moval OF Poison Fanss.
Another common msconception
which Is apt to lead to serious acct
dents is the belief that a rattler Is rem
dered perfectly harmless, so that it
can be handled with lmpunlty, by, the
removal Of Its poison fangs. These
fangs, two in number, are situated In
the upper jaw and lie fiat, except when
the serpent strikes, when they become
erect and the closing of the jaws CON-
presses the poison glands and iRjects
the venom through minute openings In
them. In striking Its prey (for what
ever charm the serpent may employ to
get Its victim within easy reach, 1t re-
lies upon the venom to give the coup
de grace), these fangs may often be
broken, and nature has provided a full
supply Of reserve weapons. which lie
dormant in the gums, and which within
two weeks will develop and replace the
injured fang.
An acquaintance who returned from
hunting trip with twenty-five full
grown rattlers in box kept them In
his office for two months, confined be-
hind a coarse-meshed wire screen. He
handled them most carelessly, as lie
had extracted the poison fangs. but
when shown that each Of them had de-
veloped perfect pair Of new ones
there was a sudden rise in the local
snake mortality. One was preserved
shortly afterward gave birth to a largo
litter Of young ones which could easily
have crawled through the screen be-
hind which the mother had been kept
AS each Of them possessed the poison
apparatus In full commission and was
without the power to rattle. they would
have been even more dangerous than
adult snakes
Professional snakehandlers are often
ignorant OF this power to quickly re-
place fangs possessed by rattlers, and
this ignorance, says Outing, led to
serious accident to one Of them at Bos-
tOck's, at Coney Island, last year. He
was badly bitten and narrowly escaped
death. his recovery being attributed to
the generous amount OF whisky which
was Immediately administered to him.
which illustrates another mistaken
idea. 1t Is a pity to shatter a pleasant
illusion, but alcohol. except in very
small doses. is harmful rather than
beneficial as an antidote to snake-bite
poison.
AS a matter of fact. although the
symptoms Of rattlesnake poisoning ars
most painful and alarming. an adult
rarely dies from the bite Of the varie-
ty common in the North. The diamond
backs Of the South attain a much larger
size, and consequently inject more ven
ON, and their bite Is proportionately
more dangerous.

CHAPTER, NIX.

II was arranged that Flora should fol
the present at least remain at the cottage
and Maddy accepted the kindness CRATE
fully. She had become so much accus-
toned to being cared for by Guy that she
almost looked upon it as a matter OF
course. and did not think of what Others
might possibly say, but when, in as deli
cate a manner as possible, Guy suggested
furnishing the cottage in better style. even
proposing to modernize it entirely in the
spring, Maddy objected at once. They
were already indebted to him for more
than they could ever pay, she said. and
she would not suffer it. SO Guy submit
ted. though it grated upon his sense OF
the beautiful and refined terribly. to see
Maddy amid 50 humble surroundings.
Twice a week, and sometimes oftener. ne
rode down to Honedale. and Maddy felt
that without these visits life would hard
ly have been endurable.
During the vacation Jessie spent part
of the time with her. but Agnes reso-
lutelv resisted all Guys entreaties that
she would at least call once on Maddy.
who had expressed a wish to see her. and
who. on account of her grandfather :
health. and the childlshness with which
Uncle Joseph clung to her, could not well
come up TO Aikensde. Agnes would not
go down, neither would she give other
reason for her obstinacy than the appar-
entity foolish one that she did not wish to
see the crazy man. Still she did not OBJ
ject to Jessie's going as often as she liked.
and she sent by her many little delicacies
from the larder at Aikenside. some for
grandpa. but most for Uncle Joseph. who
prized highly everything coming from
"the madam" and sent back TO her more
than one strangely wOrded message which
made the proud wOman's eyes overflow
when sure that no one could see her. But
this kind of intercourse came to an end
at last. The vacation was over. Jessie
had gone back to school, and Maddy be
gan IN sober earnest the new life before
her.
Those were dark. wearisome days TO
Maddy, and when the long. cold winter
was gone from the New England hills.
