Being the author of one of the best
sellers of the year has its drawbacks"
says a woman writer of popular books.
Frequent requests for contributions of
ones books to charity bazaars are a
tax upon good nature-and the pocket
book. No matter how fattering such
demands may be, they are decidedly
expensive" She went on to say that
should she crafty all the persons who
wrote to her for copies of Aer books,
because they could not afford to buy
them," and respond to the constant
calls to devote the children of her
brain to charities, it would cost her
from $500 to $500 a year, without
counting the time lost in wrapping,
directing and stamping-New York

penth OF crcInne.

From the study of clouds an official
of the United States Weather Bureau
concludes that the ordinary cyclones
which traverse our country from west
to east are not more than two or three
miles in depth, although their diameter
is many hundreds OF miles. In other
words, their motion does not affect the
upper regions Of the atmosphere.
In the case Of hurricanes, this au-
thority finds that the depth is greater,
amounting to as much as five or six
miles. But higher currents blow direct
ly across the cyclonic and a~nticyclonic
areas which produce storms and fair
weather at the surface OF the earth.
This new theory tends to offset form
er ideas concerning the circulation Of
the atmosphere.

In the entire realm of scientific In
vestigation there is nothing more inter
esting anG marvellous than the growth
and development Of plants from the
beginning or the termination Of the
seed to the reproduction of the germ.
Each species Of plant has its distinct
I've character and life habits and only
6ourishes where natural conditions are
favorable to its growth. To attain any
degree of perfection, the soil and elm
ate combined must be such as the
plants require, although a moderate de-
gree of success may be attained when
either of these factors are not exactly
suited to its growth, but where both
are deficient In any considerable de-
gree the plant can not be successfully
grown, except by artificial means
whereby the necessary natural condi-
lions are created. If the chemical com
position of the soil is favorable, and
climatic conditions unfavorable, the
latter can be created artificlally-such
as protection from cold and excessive

chemical elements which the plant re-

either case the process is laborious and

especially adapted to the growth of

The usefulness of a horse depends
largely upon the quality of his feet. Il
1 they are sound and well taken care Of
: he Is able to travel and work well
but If they are defective and neglected
his usefulness is impaired and he ear
not be depended On In any emergency,
as he Is liable, when his services are
most needed, to become partially if not
wholly disabled. resulting In serious
loss to his owner. But few horses are
born with perfect feet, yet the defects
by careful tree tment are often entire
ly cured also many horses with sound
hoofs are practically ruined by the
ignorance or carelessness of black
smiths.
The proper shooting of horses and the
general care OF their feet is a matter
that should receive the strict attention
of every farmer, and yet, as a rule,
II is wofully neglected. The farmer
should have knowledge of the natural
formation Of a horses foot. so as to be
able to determine whether the animal
Is being properly shod or not, and
while that is being done he should
never go away and leave the smith to
slight the work to get through with 1t
or butcher its feet If he does not un-
derstand his business.
While no definite rules for shoeing
horses can be given, some general prin-
clples are acknowledged by all com
petent horseshoers, namely, the heel
should never be cut except to remove
a ragged point, The same is true of
