The Cnt Under the Ran.

According to the report OF the Sta@
Game Commission OF Pennsylvania for
1907, song and insectlvorous birds In
that state are increasing and game
birds becoming scarcer. Bear and deer
are rapidly increasing.
Bears are now protected in Pennsyl
vania by legal close season during
the spring and summer months. Dur
Ing the season of 1907 there were killed
in the state go deer.
DR.. Joseph Kalbfus, chief game pro
tector of the state, recommends the
placing of bounty on the scalps OF the
domestic cat as we'll as on those of the
wildcat.
There is no greater destroyer OF
bird life" he declares, than the house
cat"
The legislative appropriation for
bounties on noxious animals and birds
was insufficient to meet the demands
upon 1t last year. A much larger ap-
preparation Is called for, and the addi-
ton Of the great horned owl and the
goshawk to the outlawed class Is re-
OueSted

Crop Well Worth Raising.

A crop that will produce $15, 400 to
the acre has been discovered in Brazil,
according to report to the department
of commerce and labor from United
States Consul General George E. An
derson at Rio de Janeiro. 1t is the Bra
lillian linen and several experimental
plantations are making an effort to put
1t into practical use.
According to the consul generals re-
port the plant grows twelve to eighteen
feet high and somewhat resembles
hemp. 1t natures so rapidly that a
field will produce three crops a year.
The fiber has strength, firmness, fiexl-
billty and adaptability for bleaching
and dyeing.
1t may revolutionze the linen indus
try Of the world and become an impor-
tant competitor Of cotton. An acre Will
produce seventy-se seven tons and the
product includes not only the various
grades Of fiber for fine or coarse linen
but stems and roots can be used for
making paper.
The suggestion is made that the agri-
cultural department should investigate
this wonderful plant and see If it can
be produced in the portions Of the Unit
ed States that are free from frost. The
plant Is said to be absolutely hard, re-
sisting alike the dry or rainy season.

and not a prey to insects or mildew."

Farm Facts and Faucies.

Hogs need clean. pure water as much
as the rest Of the stock. See that they
get it.
Perhaps you do not realize 1t. bul
the dearest animal on your farm Is the
cheap scrub.
Which do you keep? The COW that
makes more than she eats or the COW
that eats more than she makes7
1t Is impossible to plant an orchard
or a windbreak In the winter time, but
1t is possible and profitable to plan one
or both.
Fungous diseases and insect pests
can be kept from taking the profits of
the orchard this next season by faith
full, judicious spraying.
The five to eight quarts OF milk a
day COW will never return the farmer
an adequate profit, unless the percent
age of butter fat Is high.
An argument in favor Of the open
head in fruit trees Is that the fruit on
such trees does not rot so badly as that
on trees with dense heads
First the framework, then the trim
minga So with stock-raising. Feed
to get the biggest kind Of growth, then
lay on the fat as fast as possible.
A dairy COW must be given more feed
than just enough for her own support

study of BIackhead Disease,

The blackhead disease which has be-
come so destructive to turkeys in the
past few years has been under investi-
cation by the experiment station at
Kingston, Rhode Island. A small para
site, microscopic in size, Is the cause
Of the trouble. 1t lives In the tissues
of the turkey and causes irritations
that result In the death Of the affected
bird. The Rhode Island experiments
showed that more than four-f1fths Of
the young poults exposed In infected
yards die before they are six weeks
old. The disease has been popularly
supposed to be confined to birds over
six weeks. 1t Is notably disease af-
fecting young turkeys, but one from
which the older turkeys do not escape.
OF the one-fifth that do escape or sur
viye It's ravages at least ten to twenty
five per cent may die throughout the
year at almost any age.
The eradication and prevention Of
the disease Is somewhat difficult but no
reliance can be placed on any drug to
cure a bird that Is already infected.
Since the blackhead disease Is less pre-
valent In dry situations 1t Is apparent
that sandy, well-drained lands are bet
ter for raising turkeys than the beav-

SPELLING NAMES.

ChereWas No Doubt About Hannah
When the English Lady Finished.
A bygone generation witnessed an
acrimonious controversy in the Irish
family of O'Conor in County Roscom-
mon as to the right of any branch OF
the ancient race to spell the name
thus-with one "n." That right 1t
was maintained, was held only by the
O'Conor Don as head of the house.
So prolonged was the contest between
the partisans of the O'Conor and
O'Oonnor titles that 1t was called the
"N-less" (standlng for "endless") cor
respondence. Finally the question was
referred to Sir j. Bernard Burke, the
Ulster king of arms. His decision
cOincided with decision In certain
other matter-namely that much might
be said on either side. The two dis
putting families had Il common origin,
n king OF Connaught, and could with
propriety and in accordance with ira
dition spell the name one way or the
other Fortified by this award" the
their name with one IN" up to the
presen: hour.
Equally firm on the question as to
how his name should be spelled was the
bench few years ago. Asked his
name, his prompt reply was John
Awkins." ''Do you," queried counsel,
spell your name with or without an
HI" The emphatic answer was,
John" AS rule, however, as we
have said, variety in the spelling Of
the names Of people, as In that Of the
names Of places, owes its origin to peo-
pie not being so clear as was our friend
regarding how name should be spell
ed.
Two stories in illustration of this
occur to us. In the first Mrs. CULVER
full was having chrlstened her latest
baby. The old minister was little
deaf. What name did you say?" he
queried. II said" replied the mother.

you," said the other, mean Anna or
Hannah" Look ere" exclaimed the
now thoroughly exasperated lady. II
won't be hexamined in this way.
mean 'Haitch-hay y-hen- hen hay -haitch'-
Hannah!"
The second incident to which we re-
fer Is this. Here also there was "a
lady In the case" She was on an er-
rand, and she had to deal with the
name Of another party. In brief, she
had bought pair Of sleeve links for
her f1ance when the shopman asked.

stated thus:

MY Choice.

I'd rather be happy than sad,
I'd rather be good than bad;
I'd rather rejoice, yes, this is my choice,
Than brood over the troubles I've had.
I'd rather be modest than proud,
I'd rather be quiet than loud;
I'd rather look up, to the sky's golden
cup,
Than walk with my head always bowed
I'd rather be healthy than sick,
I'd rather be certain than quick;
I'd rather be broke than have 1t b.

I grew rich by an underhand trick.
I'd rather be sober than tight,
I'd rather be kindly than fight,

would do
The work to establish the right.
I'd rather be free than a slave,
I'd rather be noble than brave;
I'd rather be me, with my babe on my
knee,
Than the richest old man near the grave.
I'd rather be lavish than mean,
I'd rather my wife than queen,
And I'd rather my home than the splen
doris of Rome
Or the castles that Europe has seen.

Improved DitchinE Plow.

A recent invention provides an I'M
proved dtching plow, especially adapt
ed for digging tiling sewer bitches or
draining bitches. Tie deYice Is OF very
simple construction, and capable OF ef-
fective service in any character of soil.
1t is especially adapted to be drawn
by traction engine or capstan, says
Scientific American. AS shown IN the
engraving, 1t comprises a beam A,
which extends forward and with an
upward inclination from the cleaner B.
The latter Is triangular In shape, being
provided with two diverglng wings. the
purpose of the cleaner is to travel over
the surface Of the ground and remove
the excavated material from the edges
Of the ditch. The beam A Is hinged to
the cleaner, so as to provide for GER
tain amount Of vertical motion. Below
the beam and forming an angle there
with Is blade c, provided with a cut
ting edge at its lower end, which serves

to enter the earth more or less deeply
as the plow Is drawn forward, and
carry the excavated material to the
surface. At its forward end this blade
Is braced by means Of support ID,
which is fastened to the beam A. At
the forward end Of tie beam A Is a
clevis bar E. which Is secured at Its
upper end to draft bar F, extending to
the rear Of the beam A. In this clevis
bar are a series Of apertures adapted
to receive link to which a pulley block
Is connected. This block serves to re-
ceive the cable that is passed to the
windass or drum Of the traction en-
gne. for the purpose Of drawing the
car forward Owing to the lightness OF
this plow. it may readily be loaded
upon a truck and transported from
place to place.

Measurin0 Hay in Stacks.

To find tie number Of tons in long,
square stacks, multiply the length in
yards by the width in yards, and that
by half the altitude In yards. Then
divide that by fifteen. For circular
stacks multiply the square Of the cir
cumference of the stack in yards by
four times the altitude in yards and
divide by two. The quotient will be
the number Of cubic yards. Divide by
fifteen for the number Of tons.

Starting Seeds Indoors.

Any one who intends to start seeds
indoors needs knowledge of various
facts concerning each variety-the
length Of time needed for termination,
the time required for the plant to reach
the blooming or fruitage stage, and
whether it can be transplanted to the
open ground with safety In early
spring, or not until considerably later.
For instance, says Suburban Life.
chrysanthemum seeds will germinate in
from five to ten days, but the plants re-
quire very long season OF growth be-
fore Towering, and the person who gets
ahead Of Jack Frost must SOW the
seeds not later than March land
earlier, If possible. With varieties
which germinate quickly, grow rapid
ly and bloom early, the sowing should
be delayed at least a month, to avoid
the trouble of repeated transplantings,
to prevent the Seeding plants from
getting "leggy" and weak
