Ancient Agriculture.

why agriculture, the first industry
70 be learned and so obviously the most
fundamental, was the last to be de-
veloped Is one of the most battling mys-
terles OF history. One marvels at 1t
arresh as one stands before a certain
glass case in the Egyptian quarter of
the British Museum. wherein ia a III
tie group of farm utensils-a fractured
wooden pillow: rusted sickle, two
sticks tied together with a leathern
thong and several tassels that had
hung on the horns Of oxen. To be
sure these implements were used 5000
years ago-they were found in the
tomb of Seti but one remembers
tnat when Egypt was using these
bread tools, no better than those Of the
barbarians about her, she had a most
elaborate government, an army and
navy and art and literature.
The records and relics Of other ma
lions down through history show the
same strange incongruity. For thou
sands OF years the wise men of the
world absolutely ignored the problems
of the farm. A farmer remained either
serf or tenant. He was a stolid
drudge brother to the OK" Even the
masterful old pilgrim fathers had no
plows at all-nothing but hoes and
sharp sticks the first twelve years
OF their pioneering. And therefore for
thousands of wears there was hunger

Milking by Hand and Machine.
After test Of milking machines for
a period Of more than a year, Prof.
A. L. Hacker, Of Nebraska, has made
several conclusions. Heifers in their
first lactation, apparently give better
results by machine milking than do
aged COWS that have been accustomed
to hand milking for one or more years.
Some cows are not adapted to machine

roots of the COW pea crop add great
deal Of nitrogen to the soil, and have
a marked effect on fertility. If heavy
green crop of COW peas is plowed un-
der in the autumn it is best not to
plant the land until the following
spring. A very good plan for bringing
up the fertility of WORKOUT field Is to
SOW rye in the fail, pillow this under
in the spring, harrow thoroughly, let
the land lie month, and then sow
COW peas. Cut the peas for hay and
SOW rye again. A few seasons Of such
treatment will restore fertility to the
soil. Fortunately, both of these crops
will grow on very poor land.

Dandelions and MIX.

Dande1Ons and Milk.
A Belgian Investigator has been
looking into the correctness or incor-
rectness Of the somewhat popular be-
lief among farmers that dandeliOns in
crease the yield of milk, and that in
consequence they are rather desirable
forage than otherwise He claims that
this belief is incorrect and is founded
wholly on the false analogy suggested
by the milky juice of the dandelion.
Furthermore, he asserts that dande-
lions in large numbers have delete
riOus effect on the quality Of butter
and is one among the causes which
make it difficult to get butter of fine
flavor and good keeping qualities in
spring and early summer. Hay which
has large quantities of dandelions in
it has similar effect, he says, and he
advises farmers to weed their pastures
whenever it is practicable to do so.
Too Much Salt Kills.
Hogs like salt, and too much sail
will kill them. Being hogs they do not
always know when they have had
enough. If mixed with ashes, or ashes
and sulphur, and deposited in piles nc
danger need be feared unless they are
ravenous for salt from long continued
deprivation. But If you give them
brine from the meat barrel In free
doses you might as well give them ar
senic Meat brine is one Of the hog
poisons. Cottonseed is another, but
why no man knoweth. The latter is a
slow poison for hogs, yet good food
for cattle.

Early Tomatoes.
A truck gardener tells that this js
the way he raised early tomatoes: He
took a dry goods box by 3 feet and
8 inches deep. In each corner Of the
box he set piece Of Pinch pipe, 50
that he could water the plants from
the bottom, pouring in the water and
letting it permeate through the soil,
which was composed Of sandy loan
put into the box after the bottom had
been covered to the depth of 3 inches
with we'll rotted and sifted stable ma
nure. The seeds were planted and
lightly covered and the soil kept moist,
but not wet. In one week after plant
ing the green tops appeared, and IN
three weeks they were transplanted
into similar box, being set an inch
deeper than they grew in the first box.
They grew in the box In sheltered
places for three weeks, when they
were ready for the garden.

E.~. Preserved with Wax.

Esgs Preserved With Wax.
By novel process Of preserving,
eggs six months old are made to retain
their new laid" freshness. The pro-
cess has been developed by firm OF
English importers, acting on the theory
that an egg decomposes owing to the
entrance Of bacteria through the shell.
The eggs are thoroughly cleansed and
disinfected and then immersed IN Q
vessel Of hot parafin wax In vacuum.
The air in the shell is extracted BY the
vacuum and atmospheric pressure Is
then allowed to enter the vessel, when
the hot wax is forced into the pores
Of the shell, which thus hermetincally
seals 1t. Evaporation OF the contents
Of the eggs, which has harmful eff
feet, is thereby prevented and the egg
is practically sterile.

Best Stomach
Remedy Fres

It is an old saying that if the stom-
ach is sound the whole body is safe,
because so much depends upon the
proper working of the stomach. Many
persons find themselves with a dis
order of the stomach which pro-
duces dyspepsia or peculiar state of
biliousness.
If you suffer from both stomach trouble
and constipation you are on the way TO a
very serious disease. From just such con-
ditions come appendicitis, rheumatism,
skin diseases and similar disorders, be-
cause the waste matter that should have
been dispclled from the system through
the bowels has found its way into the
blood and vitiated IL. What is needed at
this point is not simply violent cathartic
tablet or salt, which usually does more
harm than good but gentle laxative
tonic like Dr.. Caldwells Syrup Pepsin,
which people have been using for these
ailments for nearly quarter Of a GEN.
