Toad and the Snake.

The following snake story was tolt
some years ago by a reputable citizen
of Arson County. the Charlottesville
Observer says. Driving along a pull
lie road one day he saw a toad frog
crossing the road at top speed-hit-
ting only the high places and few OF
them. AS the frog disappeared in the
bosky underbrush on one side a black
snake in hot pursuit made it's appear
ance on the other. The story teller
followed the two into the bushes to
see what the result would be- He had
proceeded only a short distance when
he found the frog at bay, facing the
snake and with the latter circiing
about in the effort to make an attack
from the rear. His frogship kept
turning all the time. always facing the
enemy.
TIL reason of this maneuver on the
snakes part was that the frog a in
its mouth. held crosswise and about
the middle, a stick about the size and
length of a lead pencil. The frog
knew the snake could not swallow
him SO long as he presented such a
front. The man watched the perform
ance for some time and when he left
the snake was still circling the frog
and the latter facing it's enemy on ey~
cry turn.

Stretching across Canada, north o.
the St. Lawrence, and ending in tho
regions about the source Of the Mis-
sissippi, is a range Of low granite hills
called the Laurentian Highlands. says
Charles D. Stewart in the Atlantic.
These hills are really mountains that
are almost worn out, for they are the
oldest land in America, and, accord.
ing to AgassiZ, the oldest in the world.
In the days when there was nothing
but water on the face Of the globe,
these mountains came up-a long isl.
and Of primitive rock with universal
ocean chatting against its shores. None
Of the other continents had put in
their appearance at the time America
was thus looking up. The United
States began to come to light by the
gradual uplifting Of this land to the
north and the appearance of the tops
Of the Alleghenies, which were the
next In order. Later the Rockies
started up. The United States grew
southwark from Wisconsin and west
ward from the Blue Ridge. An early
view Of the country would have shown
a large island which is now northern
Wisconsin,. and a long, thin tongue
Of this primitive rock sticking down
from Canada into Minnesota, and
these two growing states looking out
over the waters at the mere begin
nings Of mountain ranges east and
west. They we're waiting for the rest
Of the United States to appear.

SoctoloGists who view with alarm the
growing interest in trial marriage as
an institution and conservatives who
condemn its advocates for having too
advanced ideas, due to twentieth cen
fury freedom of thought and speech,
should go to the Philippines, where
mating on the instailnlent plan has
been practiced for ages among the
primitive tribes. such as the lSOrrote5.
The igorrotes live on the sides OF
almost perpendicular mountains, and
the rice fields are built with stone
walls dug from the highly hills and
dirt hauled from afar. The one pur-
suit is raising rice, n in its weed
ing and gathering children are most
useful, therefore the woman who bears
children is respected. Motherhood IS
glOrified. The woman who bears no
children is an object of pity, if not OF
scorn.
The IgorrOtes marry at an age when
white children are scarcely ready to
leave the Grade schools. The Wooing
is simple and direct. If a child prorG-
ises to bless The union within a year,
| this is taken as a sign Of compatible
| ity and future domestic happiness, and
the permanent marriage follows. II
within Il yea no promise OF mO\her-
hood is given, he couple are summon
ed before the village council, and the
man is given his choice: Either he
may leave the woman and seek a bride
elsewhere. or he may take chances on
a childless marriage. But once a trial
| marriage is made permanent, the idea
of another love affair never enters the
I]gcrrote's head. Not only ices he take
it as a sign from heaven that this
woman is to become the mother Of his
children. but he knows that any out
side acknowledgements with the fair sex
will end his career, matrimonially and
physically.
In tina land they have trial mar

Corn cobs are rated by farmerA
about like sawdust n broom corn
seed, in point of fertility; and all
three are thrown away or burned as
worthless matter. In fact, at some
elevators, where corn Is shelled by
hundreds of wagon loads, n furnace is
provided and the cobs are dumped
into from the shelter, to so up In
smoke. This Is a great waste, fully
as great as burning the strawstack,
as a contributor to the Indiana Farm,
err says. The cob is especially rich
in soil food. The large residue in
the way of ashes indicates potash. The
fierce heat Of the cob fire indicates
much carbon, and a chemical analysis
will show the presence Of phosphorus
and lime In no mean quantity. lr
fact, there is no waste material in
the cob. 1t is only a little difficult
to make available, because slow to
rot.
But there are two ways in which
this may be overcome. First, a farm
err who had a corn crusher can run
a load of cobs through 1t in a few
minutes, and thus render them avail
able to oxygen Second, they may be
plowed under, more easily than any
other form of raw unrotted material
except sawdust; and here their slow
process of d~isintegration will be the
very thing desired. Nothing can be

Incidentally. I noticed there has no
been a mole in the orchard since the
cobs were plowed under; and as they

cobs act as a hindrance. The crushed

The bacon type of hog has been
developed under different conditions
and in sections where corn is not the
main farm crop. These breeds Of hogs
come from parts where clover, peas,
barley, oats, wheat products and milk
all of which contain a relatively
lower per cent of fat forming elements
than corn. According to the view gen
orally accepted by Psychologists, the
fat which is stored in the body may
have its origin in the digestion of all
three classes of nutrients-prote1ds,
carbohydrates and fatS-of the food.
The two latter, however, form the
main source of heat and fat storage in
all ordinary rations.
Continued feeding through many
generations on highly carbonaceous
food naturally might be expected to
beget a greater aptitude for the diges-
ton Of such food, and, consequently,
a greater tendency to fat storage in
the body. 1t is reasonable to believe
that any of the bacon breed of hogs
would lose their present characteris-
tics If for a sufficient number of gen.
erations they were confined in the corn
belt. Eventually they would develop
the fat-producing tendencies of the
lard type. That is a conclusion that

The first thing TO do for scaly leg
is to get every bird troubled that way
out of the flock by itself. Then the
rcosts and all the woodwork of the
houses should be thoroughly washed
with kerosene. Boiling water or white
wash with a few drops of carbolic
acid will also do the work. DO any
thing to kill the parasites, which make
their home in every crack and crevice.
When the houses are clean, keep them
SO. This is your only salvation.
To relieve the hens which are suf-
fering take sulphur and lard, mix
them and rub the mixture on the legs
once a week till cured. Some good
poultrymen use simply gas tar rubbed

starve. They are very beneficial to
land in cleaning it Of weeds. sprouts
and brush. They cannot endure low,
wet land, but thrive perfectly on
rough, hilly land. Those giving milk
should be fed on good grass. hay fod-

When to Set Grapes.

Spring setting Of grapes is usually
advised for the amateur. While this
may be true in north central ATTITUDES,
good results may be obtained by set
ting any time when the soil is in
proper condition and the vines are
dormant. Fall planting has the ad-
vantage that 1t can be done at a time
when there is not a rush of work
on the farm, and the job will be more
time to settle, so that the plants will
not suffer from a lack of moisture,
as they are liable to do il planted in
the spring.
The mistake Of setting the plants
too early in the fall should not be
made. We know Of several growers
who do not set them till the leaves
have been killed by frost. At least
it is certain that they should not be
set till all danger of excessively hot
weather is past. One OF the best
methods is to dig a hole 2 or 3 feet
square and from a foot to Is inches
deep. In the bottom of this hole throw
q quart Of beef bones which have been
pounded into a powder, and about
twice as much haJ dwood ashes. Then
fill in with good mellow, rich soil for
4 or 5 inches. plant and spread out
its roots the way they would natural
ly lie and ill in on these with mellow
dirt till level with the ground. If
the setting Is done in the fall the
ground around the plant should be
covered with a mulch of some kind
Of straw to prevent heaving Of the
ground by freezing and thawing.-In-
