Four O'cIocks, or Marvel of Peru.

Those well known, free Towering an
nuals, deserves place in every garden.
A mixed packet of seed will produce a
great variety of colors. They are best
adapted for the mixed border or for long
narrow beds and there is no plant that
will give the amateur gardener greater
pleasure and satisfaction for the slight
expense entailed.
They flower continuously all summer
and being vigorous growers must not be
planted too thickly. The plants should
stand eighteen inches apart each way.
Seed is generally sown in the hot bed
in April and the young plants lifted and
set out from one month to six months
later. Young plants from small pots are
usually to be had from most florists at
The proper time for planting them out
doors.
Good results are obtained from sowing
the seed in the ground where the plants
are to remain. But they will be much
later Towering than the plants obtained
from the florists or grown by the garden
er himself in his hot bed. When planted
outside the seed should be sown after
danger of frost is passed and the ground
is warm, usually the middle of May. Five
or six seed should be planted in a hill
and the plants should be thinned out
when quite small The seed should be
covered with not more than one inch
of loose soil. Any location with plenty
of room and sunlight is suitable.

For the energy OF future ages the
United States has its enormous water
power. and, as the coal diminishes, f.
w. Ballard, addressing Ohio engineers,
has suggested that fuel supply may
be developed from vegetation. The in

ical of fuel than the steam engine,

mer producing one brake horsepower
hour. A bushel Of corn yields 2.5 gal
Ions of alcohol, while bushel Of white
potatoes yields 8-10ths gallon. The
corn crop for 1905 in the United
States was 2,70O,OOO,OOO bushels, suffi-
cient to produce 100000 horse-pow-
er for ten hours day throughout the
year. which is equal to two-thirds of
the horsepower now used in the entire
country. The land still available for
agriculture is at least ten times that
devoted to corn in 1905. The raising
of yearly crops for fuel must add much

noted that calcium nitrals, now pro-
duced electrically at $50 per ton, is
claimed to be better than sodium nj

Feeding of Eggs.

Hens will not refuse to lay provid-
ing the conditions which surround them
are favorable for egg production. or
course, hen cannot keep on laying all
the time, nor will some hens lay even
for a majority of the time, but the
farmer who provides the correct condi-
lions Of housing feeding and general
management will find that he will not
be entirely without eggs at any time of
the year. OF course, it is not the hens
nature to lay at this time of the year,
but if she is comfortably housed and
well fed, the farmer will find that the
hen after all really has little senti-
ment as to just which season she shall
produce her eggs.
Getting eggs is not entirely matter
of feeding, yet if we feed correctly the
hens will not have that as an actual
obstacle to laying. Maturity and vigor
are two important things in the hens
that are to be heavy winter layers.
Keep the hens in thrifty, vigorous
condition, and be sure and feed va
riety. These things count for a great
deal toward success. Corn, oats and
wheat are the three principal grain
feeds, but there are others that may
well be fed by way of variety and
the meat and green stuff in some form
should never be neglected. Give any
kind Of meat scraps or prepared meat
foods. as it pays. Try to keep the hens
under conditions as near like those in
existence at spring time as you can,
and you will not suffer severely from
an egg famine. This is nothing impos
sible, and briefly, only means comfort
able housing. variety Of feeds, green
stuff and meat scraps, and sanitary
quarters. Agricultural Epitomist.

Destruction by Rats.

There are those who declare that
nothing is created in vain, and that
rats and mice are in some way benefit
to mankind. 1t is hard to see just
how. The statistician Of the Agricul-
tural Bureau at Washington computes
that they create $15,0O0,OOO damage a
year. That is the real money damage,
saying nothing of the annoyance. As
an offset, the rat catchers of the world
sell about 100000 worth of skins per
year, and the furriers work them and
sell them for five times that sum. 1t
is estimated that full-grown rat will
eat six bushels of corn per year.

To Increase Fruit Yield.

One orchardist is said to have in
creased the yield of his orchard from
fifteen to $50 bushels in the following
manner: He reduced the tops of the
trees one fourth; then in the fall he
plowed between the trees. After ma
nuring well he planted corn, beans and
pumpkins, and harvested nice crop
of each. The next spring he repeated
the same form of cultivation, and that
year, in addition to the good crops of
corn, beans and pumpkins, harvested
seventy bushels Of good apples. The
next spring he manfred for the third
time and planted potatoes, which did
not do well, but he harvested $50 bush
els of fine apples from the orchard.

HOW BILLIARDS ORIGINATED.
London Pawnbroker Invented the Game
in His Leisure Hours.


in His Leisure Hours.
1t is. 9 fact not generally known that
the game of billiards was invented by
pawnbroker, William Kew by name,
who fourished in London some time in
the Sixteenth century.
This inventive avuncular relative OF
the needy used to employ his leisure
hours in wet weather when trade was
dull by taking down the three balls
which were the insignia of his profession
and pushing them about the counter OF
his shop with yard stick, after the
manner of the game as at present played,
and using boxes fastened to the sides
of his counter for pockets.
Out Of this was developed a table
with "a fence of slight elevation about
it to keep the balls from rolling on the
floor and to enable the player to make
what have since become known as cush-
ion shots.-New- World of Billiards.

Travellers along the Ala Moana or
Reach road, any time when the tlde
is low, may see men, women ana
children wadins in the shallow water
of the lagoon, their bentoyer atti'
tude indicating that they are search
ing for smething.
They are hunting for several forms
of sea-food which abound inside the
reef and which in no small degree
helps the poor Hawaiians to satisfac-
torilv solve the veXing problem OF
where the next meal is coming from.
AS a rule the searchers of the shal
lows carry neither fishing pole nor
spear but make their catch with
their naked hands They proceed
itin they come to a hummock of coral
and. then crouching down in the shall
low water they feel around the rock
for crabs, shrimps, shell-fish, and
small fish which may have made
their hiding-places thereabouts.
Some of the men drive to the haunta
of certain species, and thrusting their
arms into holes or under rocks, bring
out the fish one by one and put them
into a bag attached, for the purpose
to the malo, or loin cloth.
In fishing for the hee or squid the
fisherman sometimes dives to the
bottom and, with stick pokes
around in the small holes in which
the animal lives. When he touches
one it seizes the stick and allows
him to draw it out of the hole Or
reaching the surface the native seIz
es his captive with his hands and
bites into its head, thus killing it.
