A Vegetable Lizard.

An attache of the Smithsonian In
stituti. tells of curious inhabitant
of tropical forests called the lizard
tree, but which, as he remarks, might
we'll be term I'd the centipede plant.
This singular growth consists of a
stem jointed like bamboo, with
green leaves growing directly from
the bark, and slender white roots
sprinsing from the joints. with which
it maintains its hold upon the bark
of the tree whereon it grows. When
1t has attained a length of three or
four feet the lower sections of the
lizard plant drop off, and, fastening
uron aLy convenient object, begin
tt cir Independent growth.
When thus growing upon the
ground, II the plant encounters a tree,

A Monster Spring.

No State in the Union has larger
or more numerous springs than
Florida. Many of them form goo d
sized streams from the start and
some of them are navigable. The
largest spring in the State, aud one
of the largest and probably the best
known in the United States, is Silver
Spring, which is located six miles
east OF Ocala. This spring forms
the source of the Okiawaha River, a
tributary of the st. Johns, and
steamboats, traversing the river enter
the spring basin. which has an area
of several acres. The water is from
twenty-five to thirty feet deep and is
wonderfully clear, appearing abso-
lutely devoid of color.-Minneapolis

A LOW POULTRY RUN.

A safe and secure poultry run that
requires less material than a high
pen can be made from laths sawed in
two, which would make the sides two
feet high, making the frame of scant-
lings and the top of sawed laths, box
boards or similar material. The top
of the run should consist almost en-
tirely of trap doors, using bits of old
harness for hinges, which will look

shows one of the doors propped up to
show the construction more plainly.
The doors are four feet long, the
length of lath, and may be eight or
ten feet the other way and still not
be clumsy, being constructed of such
light material.
This trap door is an important fea-
ture, as II permits the tender to enter
easily for removing top soil and re-
placing with fresh earth or other car
ing for the birds. The frame material
is of 2x2-inch scantling at the corners,

Electric Heat for Plants.

The growth Of plants is known to
be stimulated by weak electric cur
rents applied to the soil, but It has
not been supposed to be economical
to use electricity for conversion into
heat for warming hotbeds, as has been
done by G. Hartman in his expert
ments at Turbine, Ont. His heater
consists of about 2G0 feet of one
twelfth-inch iron wire wound in seven
two-inch coils on one and one-half-
inch iron pipe, the coils, connected in
series, being mounted on porcelain
knobs on piece of abestos board. A
frame about 6 by feet in size has
n floor, on which is about five inches
of soil, and the top of the frame is
covered with two sashes. The heater
is placed under the floor. Current is
taken from 110-volt circuit, but the
energy actually received last year was
fifteen amperes at eighty volts. This
gave sufficient heat. The hotbed was
kept quite warm, and tender flowers
and vegetables developed rapidly in
the early spring weather.

FORSYTHIAS.

The most glorious Towering shrub
for very early spring is the forsythia,
also known as golden bell. It grows
to a height of eight and even ten
feet, and has wonderful yellow
flame of blossoms that absolutely
hide the branches before single leaf
appears. The branches arch over
and make delightful shrub that is
satisfactory all the year. 1t will
make its finest show If planted
against dark background. Give
each plant plenty of room, for the
branches will spread widely and will
finally bend to the earth again and
root at the tips.
1t is little troubled by insects, and
needs only slight pruning. There are
several varieties. The one described
here is forsythia suspense, and it is
by far the most satisfactory. Young
plants, from two to three years old,
and about two feet high, can be
bought for twenty-five cents each.
For fine group, plant three or four
of these, giving each plant from four
to five feet of clear space around It.
One plant will be sufficient for a
small place. Do not set this shrub

GETTING CLOVER STARTED.

In some sections of Illinois there
has not been much headway made in
getting clover started. 1t seems that
on some fields the clover plants do
tolerably we'll, SO long as they have
shelter of the nurse plants. But
when the nurse grain is taken off
the plant soon turns yellow and dies.
We have all presumed that clover
failure was due to soil acidity, or to
lack of humus, but clover often fails
where neither of these things should
be the cause. 1t has also been COM
monty supposed that clover would
run out after a few years, that is,
1t would sicken and die. 1t appears
that clover exhausts certain elements
of the soil; and while piece of land
may not grow clover, it may produce
abundantly of other crops. But this
does not help us out of the matter
of getting fresh piece of land set.
have always advised liberal manur-
ing of old fields which were to be
seeded, but this will not always fetch
clover. We must look further. The
Tennessee station has discovered an
anthracnese, fungus growth, which
may be the source of the trouble.
This attacks newly seeded as we'll as
old fields, and as yet no means have
been found to combat it.-L. C. H..

There are fewer Baptists, Metho-

though the city's population has been
more than doubled. The rapid ex-
tinction of churches Of these denom-
nations In Manhattan during the past
decade shows this. In 1896 the Bap-
lists reported ca churches. Last
year they only claimed 4S. Many
Of these claims are pitiful absurdities
mere names of mission halls and
soup kitchens, supported by the char
ity of one or two rich men. One
half of them represent hopes as yet
unfulfilled, declares Thomas Dixon,
Jr., in Broadway Magazine.
The same thing Is true of the
Methodists. who reported 73 churches
in 1896 and only claim So in 1907
The Presbyterians reported II in
1896 and only 81 last year.
In the year 1910 New York City
had one church to every 1880 in
population. Last year we could not
find one church to 1000 population,
counting all our soup kitchens and
mission halls as churches"
There are many sections of the
city which are practically pagan. One
district of 10000 population, which is
typical of many more, has one saloon
to III inhabitants, and one church
to S,19G.
In another large district there are
some $4,000 Inhabitants, with a sa-
loon to every 10000. In the section
between Twenty-fourth and Fifty
ninth streets west of Ninth avenue
there is but one church to $4,000;
while the district between Fortieth
and Sixty-fourth streets west of Tenth
avenue contains 4G,563 people, and
has but one church.
And the sad part of the story Is
that many of these churches that are
reckoned on the map as living and
performing their duties to these vast
populations are dead and don't know

GOOD AND POOR BUTTER.

Every year the line is being drawn
more closely about dairy products
and each succeeding year brings an
increased demand for strictly first
class grades and a weaker demand
for the poorer ones. In all proba-
bility the time is not far distant when
1t will be almost impossible to dis
pose Of poor butter at all, except as
grease and at grease prices. Not
withstanding all that is said against
imitation butter, 1t is truth that
the meanest, filthiest imitation of all
is made from genuine cows milk,
but in such slovenly, incompetent
manner that all value and trace of

NEW METHOD OF ,oHURNING.


A new method of -churning butter
has been patented by a native of Fin
land, A. H. Borgstrom, says the Pa
-oific Dairy Review, which consists of
churning the butter at temperature
in the vicinity of the freezing point
At this temperature the butter will
not break" the claim being, how
ever, that the nature of the cream is
so changed that by heating same to a
temperature which permits of the for
nation of butter, the breaking"
takes place almost instantaneously.-
The advantage claimed for this
method is that "overchurning" can
not take place; that less butter fat is
left in the buttermilk and that the
body of the butter is improved and
has greater keeping quality. 1t is
further claimed that the loss of but
ter fat in churning sweet cream is
largely overcome by this method of
churning. There is no record given
in the advices of any long continued
practical tests, but if the method has
the merits claimed for it 1t will cer-
tainly change the methods of butter
making.
