Test Seeds at Home.

The Department of Agriculture in
order to aid farmers to determine for
themselves without much trouble nhe
termination value of seeds has issued
short bulletin on the subject A very
simple apparatus for sprouting seeds
is described. 1t consists of 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 10 degrees. Atmosphere of
an ordinary living room is suitable If
the apparatus is left near stove at
night. Several kinds Of seeds may be
tested at once at a trifing cost. The
bulletin cautions the farmer against
extremes Of heat or moisture.

An Electric Incubator.

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 80, 100 or 200 eggs, and
is designed to obviate the difficulties
connected with the ordinary form of
incubator. The manipulation Of the ap=
paratus Is very simple, and its mainte-
nance depends only upon an unlnter-
rupted supply of electricity.
An automatic attachment keeps the
temperature within one-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 cleo
ticity required is very small, for an in
cubator holding fifty eggs, ten to twen-
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 Matched 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.

winterlng Cabbage.

One of the simplest ways Of keeping
cabbage is to store In an orchard or
some sheltered place, often alongside
fence which has been made tight AS,
liberal use of straw. The cabbaes~N
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 a little soil, rails,
brush or litter. Small unstable heads
when stored In this way in November
win 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 half
feet high, bringing them to a 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 it may
be covered with strawy manure or any
other litter to keep the soil frozen uR
til the cabbages are needed for sale.

Serpent Il Dangerous Even After Re
moval of Poison Fangs.

Serpent IL Dangerous Even After Re
moval of Poison Fangs.
Another common mIseonception
which Is apt TO lead to serious acci-
dents is the belief that a rattler is ren.
dered perfectly harmless, so that 1t
can be handled with impunity, by the
removal Of its poison fangs. These
fangs, two In number, are situated In
the upper jaw and lie fat, except when
the serpent strikes, when they become
erect and the closing of the jaws COM
presses the poison glands and injects
the venom through minute openings Ia
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 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 a box kept them In
his office for two months, confined be-
hind a coarse-meshed wire screen. He
handled them most carelessly, as he
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
and sent to the Bronx Zoo, where 1t
shortly afterward gave birth to large
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 a
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 pity to shatter 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 are
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.

ut Is not the work that tires you at
all 1t Is the way you do It," said a
wise counselor to a discouraged and
broken-down school teacher
The word fits the case Of many a
woman who Is not q school teacher.
The farmers wife who does the whole
weeks work In her Imagination after
she goes to bed Sunday night; the
bookkeeper who In her dreams adds
columns Of figures to bring out an OBJ
stinate balance; the school girl who
grows hot and cold in anticipation Of
an examination; the dressmaker who
never forgets her apprehension lest her
customer shall not be pleased-all
these and a score of other kinds OF
women need to learn the lesson of the
value Of the mind at ease.
A conscientious, worrying wife of a
Maine farmer hurried to the hen house
one icy day with pan Of food. She
slipped and fell-and a broken hip
stopped the quick foOtstep and dulled
the keen vision for "things which must
be done" For three months the pa
tient lay in bed, alone many hours Of
each day, thinking over her life and
habits and responsibillties-her sue
cesses and her failure When she
could hobble to a wheeled chair, she
was a different creature from the anx-
ious, nervous woman who had been
forced to submit to Imprisonment.
A perspective Of the months and
years Of life, new conviction that
peace Of mind is more important than
pies and cakes, a sense Of proportion
which included herself and the claims
of her own nature as well as the appe-
tites of her hungry family and the
profits Of the farm, had revealed them
selves to her In the long days OF en-
forced inactivity.

That a woman can be wage Garner
and at the same time care for her home
Is possible, Mrs. Nathan says, and
there are many cases in which it Is
eminently satisfactory to have man
and his wife both wage earners. Mrs.
Nathan gives the following two as the
principal reasons why married women
are wage earners: Men waste SC
much money in smoking, gambling and
drinking that they have none left for
family expenses. Many women have
minds superior to their husbands and
can earn more. In that case it is the
woman's plain duty-and should be hei
pleasure-to earn whatever her talents
will bring"
