Humble Beginnings
- ~.

Not long ago a grizZled millionaire
miner from the far West dropped into
town. He occupied a superb suite In
one OF Washington's most luxurious ho-
tells during his stay here. Among his
callers was young man from his own
state. This young man married, not
long ago, young woman 'out home"
They got along all right, tidily on his
$1,000 a year, earned as d government
clerk. The old miner had not only
known the young man from his boy
hood but he had ridden the young
mans wife on his knee all the way to
Banbury Cross, when she was a little
girl In plgtais.
"Son," said the grizzed miner to the
young man from his home state, when
the latter was making his call at the
fine hotel suite, 'you and Aggie are
keeping house here, aren't your q
We'll, we're living in a little fiat, If

replied.

Il sure do take 1t powerful hard that
you and Aggie don't invite me up to

make a hole in it with a needle; then
place very small object say, for in
stance, tiny insect-on the end of a
pin or gum to strip Of glass and view
this object through the needle hole In
the card at about an inch from it. The
insect will appear quite distinct and
about ten times larger than Its natural
size. If, however, you suddenly with
draw the card without disturbing the
object, the latter will be invisible. The
reason is that the naked eye cannot see
at so short a distance as an inch, but
the card with the hole enables the eye
to approach within an inch and to see
not only well, but, as 1t were, ten
times better than with the naked vi

Dipping Fowls TOR Lice.

To treat number of fowls indivi0
ually with louise powder is a tedious
unpleasant task. An easier and equally
successful plan is to dip the fowls in
a reliable brand of sheep dip
Hold the fowls by the legs, heads
down, with one hand supporting their
heads. Let the solution cover every
part of the body from the toes up, ex-
cept the head and eyes Of the hen. Re
serve this part until last, as the hens
gasp and struggle when their heads go
under. Pull the fowls to and fro sew
eral times In the tub, which insures the
solution percolating through the feath-
ers and reaching all sections OF the
body
Keep each fowl In the solution not
less than one full minute, and two min
utes is often better Dipping should be
performed only on warm. clear days SO
the fowls can afterwards dry them
selves in the sun and win not catch
colds. Agriculture Epitomist.

Graft and stock.

The question Of the influence Of the
stock on the graft and vice versa has
been much discussed. The experiments
recorded by NJ Z. Guignard In the
Complies Rendus were made with
view of discovering whether there is
any migration Of chemical substances
from the one to the other. Plants rich
in compounds of hydrocyanic acid were
chosen, as this is easy to detect. Itwas
found that when plant containing
hydrocyanic glucoside Is grated on one
destitute of it, or inversed, there is no
passage Of this substance from the one
to the other. The general conclusion
seems to be that grating is a sort of
artificial symbiosis in which each spe-
cies retains its individuality.

The so-Ca1red "Alaska" wheat.

Inc S0-CaI1e0 "AlHbka Wncues
The Bureau of Plant Industry has
prepared the following statement in
anticipation Of inquiries concerning
Alaska" wheat.
A variety Of wheat under the name
Of Alaska is being widely advertised
as capable of yielding at the rate Of
200 bushels to the acre under ordinary
soil conditions" and even better under
extra conditions" 1t is stated that
this variety was found growing wild In
Alaska, and claims of the most ex-
trayagant nature are made for 1t. In
consequence Of this notoriety the de-
partment is receiving many requests for
seed.
This type Of wheat has been known
for many years both in this country and
in Europe. 1t has been tried at several
state experiment stations In the west
ern part Of the United States during
the past fifteen years, but nowhere have
the yields been high enough to merit
attention. The wheat has been grown
to very limited extent on certain
heavy undrained soils in France for
many years In such locations 1t is
said to yield rather better than ordln-
ary wheat, but as it Is one of the pocr-
est wheats known for making -four, 1t
is never grown where ordinary varieties
It wheat will thrive.

Keeninr Milk sweet

In some of the milk studies made at
the New York Agricultural Experiment
Station JGeneya), it was observed that
.carbonic acid gas in the milk tended
to prevent its souring. This seemed
worthy of further investigation and a
series of tests was conducted In which
the gas was combined with the milk
under varying pressures, using the
ordinary soda water charges and seal
ing the bottles to retain the gas and
exclude the air. With the higher
pressures of gas, souring of the milk
was delayed Indefinitely; as bottles
charged under pressure of 175 pounds.

Loco Weed.

It has been found by Government
experts that the poisonous action Of the
loco weed is due to barium. Investiga-
tions have been in progress for the past
few years to determine the cause of
this condition of range stock which
has come to be known as "locoed." The
reason the weed Is so poisonous in some
sections and not In others Is that on
some soils it contains no barium. The
Bureau of Plant Industry, In a recent
bulletin, says that it is possible to kin
out the weeds If the pastures are
fenced, as the weeds grow in patches.
There is no feasible way of Kidding
ranges of the weeds, however.
1t was found that locoed cattle can
In most cases be cured by course Of
treatment with strychnine, while
locoed horses can generally be cured by
a course Of treatment with Fowler's
solutions. The animals under treat
ment must not be- allowed to ear the
loco weed and should be given onlv
nutritious food, but as far as possible
food with laxative properties. To this
end magnesium sulphate was admins
tered to correct the constipation, which
is almost universal among locoed ami
mails. 1t should be noted, too, that
magnesium sulphate may serve to some
extent as an antidote to the poison.

MOI n Cure-Au.

A great many have had an idea that
pasteurization was going to solve all
Of the difficulties regarding our milk
supply, but after close study Of the
matter we believe that it is often used
as a cure-all for milk and cream that
is not fit for human consumption. It
has been proven that the pasteuriza-
ton given in the usual commercial way
kills only the Tactic acid germs which
nature placed in the milk as a pro-
lection, while the pathological germs
which are the real menace to health are
left in an alkaline Instead of an acid
medium all ready to multiply when
other conditions are favorable.
