Ants Are LONG Lived.

Ants are really very long lived, con-
sidering their minuteness. A natural
list had two queens under observation
for ten years and one of Sir John Lub-
books ant pets lived into her fifteenth
year. Ants are very tenacious of life
after severe injury. Following loss of
the entire abdomen they sometimes
live two weeks, and in one case a
headless ant, carefully decapitated by
asceptic surgery, lived fifty-one days.
A carpenter ant after being submerged
eight days in distilled water came to
life upon being dried, SO that they
are practically proof against drown
ing. They can live long periods with
out food, in one case the fast lasted
nearly nine months.

After this the roots are sent cut in

After this the Dot are sent out in
whorls Of from two to ten. AS the plant
advances toward maturity, these whorls
rise closer TO the surface. The first
roots thrown out Immediately above the
primary roots run sideways and occupy
ten or fifteen inches below the surface.
These lateral roots throw out fbrous or
rection through the soil and occupy
every inch within q radius Of from two
to five feet. 1t is evident, therefore,
that if we plough corn Immediately
after planting, or after it is first up,
we can plough IS deep as we like, and
generally the deeper the better. When,
however, the roots begin to rise and
occupy every square inch of soil within
reach, it will not do TO plough deep.
Our cultivation must, therefore, be linn
tied to the surface, and with the end i u
view Of killing the weeds and forming
the mulch Of dry dirt which will shut
off surface evaporation, and spread out
the water which is continually rising
from below within reach of the roots.
The older and larger the plant the
shallower should the cultivation be. In
fact, if the ground is well prepared,
ploughed deep when there is no dan
ger Of cutting off the roots, the only
thing the farmer needs to do during
the latter period is to maintain the
mulch Of dry dirt on the surface.

Thunder and MIX.

To many persons the curdling of milk
in a thunderstorm is a mysterious and
unintelligible phenomenon. Yet, ac-
cording to scientists, the whole process
is simple and natural. Their claim is
that milk, like most other substances,
contains millions Of bacteria. The
milk bacteria that in a day or two,
under natural conditions, would cause
the huid to our are peculiarly sus-
ceptible to electricity. Electricity in
spires and invigorates them, as alco-
hol, cocaine or strong tea affects me1i.
Under the currents influence they fall
to work with amazing energy, and in
asssx OF taking a couple Of days 10
sour the milk they accomplish the task
completely in a half hour. With an
electric battery it is easy on the same
principle to sour the freshest milk

sic had his left hand literally crushed.
Several bones were broken and the
smith suffered excruciating pain.
The name of the smith is II. W
Brown, q former trooper in Troop ID.
Eleventh Cavalry, who was discharged
here and took up his trade with Nro-
man.
Satan is n beauty; a little sorrel
weighing scarcely more than 1920
pounds, plump and full Of ginger and
fire.
Satan has always rebelled savagely
against the iron shoe. His very name
was given him Oh this account. He
has never been known to let a smith
shoe him without being bound by leath-
Brown is a wiry soldier, erect and
solid.
Satan was led in by a common
halter and tied to the ring in the side
of the wall. With a great leather apron
about his waist, Brown took ths shoe
fash the horse wheeled and both feet
shot into the spot where Browns stom-
ach was-but Brown was quicker In re-
moving 1T.
Then came into play the scientific
blacksGith's tactics, picked up in he
United States army, where bad horses
are plentiful. Advancing to Satan's
side, Brown was ready for the next
spring and caught Satan sharply in
the flank with the point Of his elbow ;
a painful gr1lnt was satan's reply, and
he huddled himself in surprise in q
corner.
The smith stopped to lift a hoof, and
Satan, without moving his foreparts,
deliberately twisted himself in a posi-
ton to let fly one foot, but Brown
again escaped by springing aside; this
time, however, the smith trapped the
fellow and caught his left foot before
he had the leg stiffened. There was
a struggle. Brown slipped a knee IN
der the hoof and cruelty pressed down,
crumping the leg so that Satan stood
still, while the not iron was pressed
against his hoof then Satan's hoof was
released. For the first time he took a
good look at the mar who dared.
When the shoe was ready to nail
Brown again approached tho horse.
The same tactics Were adopted, except
that at the crucial moment Satan, in
stead of merely twisting himself,
crouched and jumped forward as far
as his halter would allow and let fly

He was a fragile youth Il didn't
dance all the dances.
Lets sit it out" he said to his pref.
ty partner.
"On the stairs?" he suggested.
So they went up and sat down.
"Ah !" cried the fragile youth, sud
denly, and rose hastily, saspins for
breath.
"Why, Mr.. Stackpole, what's the mat
ter?' cried the fair young girl.
He could not answer His face was
livid, his eyes were rolling and his
whole frame was shaking.
What kind of attack is it" she
gasped. And at this interrogation his
voice returned to him.
What earthly difference does that
makc!' he growled, 80 long as it was
onc?"
Then without a word Of apology he
strobe manfully away.
But how was h to know that the
particular description of attack was
just an ordinary tack, acrobatically
standing on its head?

1T SEEMED

Body Raw with ACKNOWLEDGMENT
from Hospitals ms Nopeiess-Cuti-
ezra Remedies Cured Him..
From the age Of three months until
fifteen years OLD, my son Ovens life
was made intolerable by eczema In It's
worst form. In spite Of treatments the
disease gradually spread until nearly
every part of his body was quite raw.
He used to tear himself d~readfully In
his sleep and the agony he went
through is quite beyond words. The
regimental doctor pronounced the case
hopeless. We had him in hospitals
tour times and he was pronounced one
of the worst cases W admitted. From
each he was discharged as incurahle.
We kept trying remedy after remedy,
but had gotten almost past hoping for
q cure. Six months ago we purchased
a set Of Cuticura Remedies. The result
was truly marvellous, and to-day he is
perfectly cured Mrs. Lily Hedge, Cam

Farm Help Less Expensive.

Farm labor is cheaper than 1t was a
this time last year and is pretty sure
to continue so for the season. Ihere
has beer some curtailment in manufac'
turing throughout the country, the re:
suit being that a great many men are
out Of work. With this condition farm
ers find that they can get help more
readily now han they have been able
to fer several years.
1t is ascertained that where contracts
have been made in the Middle West and
Southwest for farm hands the rate OF
wages averages about So per month low
er than that prevailing a year ago.
A common rate Of pay for farm hands
at this time is $50 per month, as against
$50 last season. Competent Eel with
experience in special departments OF
farming will command more, but not as
much as in 1906 and 1907. Good live
stock hands receive $35 to $45, but
above this there are few men hired even
for fancy farming or the speclalties who
are receiving more.
Youths and inexperienced immigrants
are offering their services for from SIS
to $40 per month.

Cultivation Of Corn.

Corn makes a ran growth both above
md below ground, and for that reason
requires treatment somewhat different
from what is given to wheat or oats.
Planting in rows is necessary not only
to permit full development OF the stalks,
but also to give plenty of feeding room
to the roots. Corn roots, if they have
a chance, will occupy every inch to the
depth Of from three to Eve feet, and
the yield Of the corr will depend on
the completeness of this occupation.
THE feeding ground, or, in other words,
the corr root pasture, depends mainly
on the preparation and cultivation OF
the soil. 1t may be limited in many
ways, so that the farmer, instead of us
ing from three to five feet of bis field
eE soil, will use only a small portion OF
It. If the land is not properly drained,
either naturally or a~rtifcially, the corn
roots cannot penetrate into the regions
saturated with water, for the water
shuts out the air. If hard pam comes
near the surface the corn roots cannot
reach into that, and he may be Guilt
waiting but six, eight or ten inches of the
field as soil. II the land be heavy and
ploughed wet, full of Jumps on the sur
face or resting on h plough pan or
bottom Of the furrow, the corn roots
cannot utilize these, and hence his soil
is limited. If he has ploughed under,
in a dry time, coarse manure, SO as TO
shut off the supply Of water from be-
low, the corn roots are again limited.
It is, therefore, about as necessary for
che farmer to understand corn roots
and their habits and ways as it is for
the surgeon to understand the anatomy
Of the system, where the bones lie, and
where the arteries, veins, nerves and
muscles are hidden under the skin.
The corn plant, it will be seen, has
no top-root. The first roots start out
from the seed grain and go down.

ing and lifting. The operator is also
relieved of the necessity of STOPPING so
low as he does in shovels of the or
binary construction. He Introduces a
supplemental handle, which is secured
to the handle of the shovel, the oppo-
site end extending forward Of the rear
end Of the blade, being supported from
the latter by braces. The supplement
tai handle is engaged by the forward
hand of the operator, the latter being
thus greatly relieved of weight. 1t
avoids the twisting strain Of the body
caused by lifting a heavy load when
the forward hand is placed low down
upon the usual handle. The hand of
the operator can be readily slid back
aid forth in the various ma~nipulations
of the scoop, rendering it more con-
venient and efficient in use, adapting
it to be used with decreased power and
strain. "

A Tooth Point.

Dentists children rarely have filed
teeth for the reason that they are
taught to use the toothbrush with 4 cir
cular motion. Thc brush, as in the or
binary motion, goes back and forth, but
it also goes round and round. Thus it
finds out all the crannies. Dentists
say that the circular motion, applied
both to the front and back Of the teeth,
will keep them absolutely clean-and
absolutely clean teeth cannot decay.
The teeth should be brushed after each
meal and especially at bedtime. The
morning brush before breakfast, which
is the only one commonly applied, does
scarcely any good at all, since the teeth,
Immediately after, become clogged with
food.

The CoddIfng Moth,

About one-fifth Of the first laying of
egg by the coddlihg moth is on the
fruit, the rest being on the leaves and
branches. The young larva that
matches from the egg is able to feed
on the foliage to some extent and may
come into maturity without entering
the fruit, although it rarely does so.
About 80 per cent of the first brood
finds its way Tito the apples at the
caly1, while the rest eat in at other
points, principally at the stem. Only
about % per cent of the second brood
enters at the calyx, the others eating
in where the apples touch each other
or a leaf at the stem end. The aver
age life Of the adult insect, or moth,
IS about four days.

COINS AND FACES ON THEM.

Ventures of Rulers Abroad, Here the
Emblem of Liberty.
Coins of most OF the nations bear
upon them the faces Of their rulers. In
the United States each coin has an en-
blem Of Liberty.
The first coins struck after the for
nation Of the federal union bore the
face of George Washington. General
Washington disapproved of the custom
and it was dropped. 1t has never been
revived
Portraits Of prominent Americans
appear Upon postage stamps, internal
revenue stamps and paper money, but
never on coins. And it has been the
custom to use no portraits Of living
men ever on the currency and the
stamps.
In England as soon as King Edward
succeeded Queen Victoria the Queens
face gave way to that of Edward on
all the coins and stamps in the British
empire. The accession of a new ruler
in most monarchies means an instant
change in the designs Of the coins.
But there is an exception to the rule
OF no portraits On American coins. The
emblem Of Liberty on the 1-cent coin is
the goddess In an American Indian
headdress, but the face shows no char
acteristics Of the North American
aberis1ne.
It is the face Of a little girl, Sarah
Longacre Keen. upon whose head was
placed the feathered ornament Of a
6ioux Indian. Her father was an en-
graver and he placed his daughters
