Milking to Music in Jersey

MOntclair, N. J.-There was a time
when the farmers and dairymen in
this section thought that grass, hay,
long fodder, turnips and an occasional
hot mash were proper and profitable
food for mich COWS, but they are to
drop all that and feed their milk pro-
ducers on music.
Now, the pioneer in the movement
is Steever Smith, a farmer near
Great Notch. When he wants his
COWS to give milk he places a phono-
graph out in the barnyard and starts
the music going.
From that time on it as much as he
and his men can do t o set the buckets
under the COWS fast enough to catch
the milk.
Smith has discovered that the kind
and quality of music also has an i'm.
portant bearing on the milk supply.
The first day he used the photograph
he placed THE Heart Bowed Down"

DRUGS AND PLANTS

Among the trees of the garden is a
Compton tree raised from a cutting of
one OF a grove of camphor trees now
growing wild in Florida. Forty a
ago these trees were set out as an
experiment by the department of agri.
culture, and later their cultivation was
given up as a failure. 1t is now thought
that the camphor industry will take
the place of the culture of in
Florida.
In the Jersey bog" a huge garden of
novel plants, receiving their nourish-
ment from water, air and animal mat
ter, are varieties not often seen in
this country. There are the Dresora.
or Sundews, which after clutching n
insects which land upon them. digest
the animal matter, forming thereby a
valuable drug. The S~arracenia, or
pitcher plants, form a bottle shaped
prison in which bugs may easily enter,
never to be released. The Venus fly
tray is also a meat eating form of
plant life which can be seen in the
bog.
~Hydrangeas, roses, carnations, rare
varieties of v~iolets, Jack-in-the-Pul-
pits, swamp pinks, blue flags, and or
chids can be cen in various states of
cultivation and evolution, giving the
place an element of great beauty.
Digitalls, which, when compounded
with strychnine and morphine. forms
the basis of medicines used in the
treatment of alcoholism, can be seen
in all stages of cultivation, and the
result of experiments with this plant
has given sufficient data to warrant
DR.. Kraemer making public the state
ment that %strychnine produces the
same effect as a stimulant as does al
cohol.
The results of the experiments con.
Quoted by DR.. Kraemer in the botani-
cal laboratories and gardens of the COL
lege will be given to the public as
each is completed. Many of them are
hardly begun, and will take years for
completion.

Romances Of Progress

S0CRATES-The Man Who First Taught People to Think for
Themselves.
themselves,

in rank or public Office of any kind.
He furthermore lived in abject pow
erty that he might teach others to
think nor of the mind and soul than
of the body. Rousing peoples dor
mant minds, teaching them to think
for themselves, fearlessly rebuking
public injustice and superstition, he
gathered about him so many disciples
and admirers that the government be-
came seriously alarmed. Prosecutions
and ill treatment became his reward.
Not the least of these came upon him
at home. He was married to a shrew
named Xantippe, who could not in the
very least appreciate him and who by
her seedlings and beatings made his
life a daily burden. He bore all this
with the patience of a true philoso-
pher. But worse was in store for him.
The tyrannous council of thirty
whom he had so often assailed had
not mOlested him. 1t remained for the
popular democratic government (Which
he had helped to restore) to arrest
him and bring him to trial for his life.
He was accused by the authorities with
denying the gods, preaching the exis-
tence of a new God and of corrupting
the young by his teachings. Socrates
replied in effect

them better educated than their ia
theirs. For doing all this, he claimed.
the city should honor and pension
him.
This speech naturally did not serve
to pacify his judges, who next tried
to brighten him with threats of death.
Socrates answered them that what
ever world lay beyond the grave it
could not be much worse than Athens
under its present rule, and that the
change could not be otherwise than a
benefit. The judges, in a rage, on
demned him to die. He was led back
to prison. His friends thronged his
cell. One of them secretly offered him
a mean Of escape. He refused, pre-
ferring to abide by the courts YER
dict. In the presence of his disciples
he drained a cup of hemlock poison.
Thus died Socrates, first and great
est of the whole mighty army of phil
osophers; the man who. as a reward
for leading his fellowmen from dark.
ness into the light of knowledge, was
officially murdered. But the spark he
had lighted was destined to illumine
the world for all time.

Effect of Chemicals on Vegetable
Matter.
Experiments Of Philadelphia Society
Expects to Add Much to Our
knowledge Of Relative
Strength Of StimuIants.

Philadelphia, Pa.-By means of ex.
tensive experiments to test the rela-
tive strength of drugs on 1000 vari-
cites of terminating plants, and also
a number of animals, in the botanical
roof gardens of the Philadelphia Col
lege OF Pharmacy, DR.. Henry Kraemer,
professor of botany n director of the
microscopic and botanical laboratories,
is compiling tables of values which,
when completed, will probably work
the greatest change in the nature and
quality of drugs used as stimulants
that has taken place since the days Of
Hahnemann. Since the establishment
of a botanical roof garden two seasons
ago by DR.. kraemer, primarily for the
purpose Of supplying the college with
authentic drug material of the rarer
varieties, the garden has outgrown
its original mission to some extent
and has become an important arm of
the research work of the college.
bill Possum' is an important fea-
ture of the gardens. All unconscious
that he is adding to the supply of USE
full knowledge as we'll as furnishing
diversion to visitors, Bill Possum,"
shielded from the rays of a summer
Jul by the foliage of plants almost
priceless in their rarity, and basking
in a breeze made cool by the waters
of the Jersey marsh" reigns supreme
high above the buildings of the city.
The gardens cover the roof of the col.
lege buildings. Guinea pigs, frogs and
chickens, though unconsciously con-
tributing their share to the progress
OF science, are less important per-
sonages, by far, in this novel little
world than big Bill Possum."
The vegetable life of the gardens is
nourished chiefly in a we'll watered
soil Of sand. AS little as possible of
the usual soil elements is introduced,
sc that the plants may receive as far
as possible without interference the
effect of the chemicals fed them dur.
ing the test The effect of the vari-
GUS chemicals on the plants is thus
clearly discernible. In this garden
are growing different series of the
same plant under influences of widely
different chemicals. A series of like
age will differ SO markedly that some
will be in magnificent bloom, while
others in the adjoining garden will be
yielding a profusion OF beautiful leaves
without a bud. And among those in
bloom will be found some, under the
influence of a particular chemical,
towering in an abundance of healthy
red, while others, fed from another
chemical, will bear a blue or a white
bloom.
One of the most interesting of the
collection Of plants brought together
by DR.. Kraemer is a specimen of the
original licorice plant brought from
Spain by the late Henry II. Ritten-
house of this city. at that time this
variety was unknown in this country
as a commercial product, and after in,
Producing it as such Mr.. R~ittenhouse
built up a fortune from it's sale. There
is also a specimen of the famous poi.
son hemlock of Socrates, the same
species from which was made the fatal
potion.

amounted to 1925 per year. With a
few individuals there was slight de-
crease in salary, as for instance IN
cases of teachers of long experience
who did not happen to have been teach
ing in this State many years. AT this
time the accounts indicate that the to-
tai increase in tie amount paid for sal
aries will be nearly 5000. Uufortu-
nately for this county the levy was
made several DAYS before the law was
enacted which, among other things, re-
ouires that the County Commissioners
shall levy sum sufficient to provide
for the increased salaries. AS conse-
ouence we had only an amount equal
to that provided for the previous year
for expenses. Even by most rigi
economy it has been impossible to keep
our expen ditures within the appropria
tions, and there will be a deficit, much
to my regret, in the operators "l 'he

An inspiring Institute held in Anna

in conjunction with the counties of
Anne Arundel, ST. Mary's and Charles

are now receiving $3.50 wear; those
who have taught years, $400 wear;

MISCELLANEOUS.

This story is said to have been told
in the smoking-room of a transatlantic
liner: The young marquis of Anglesey,
who died in Monte Carlo some five
years ago, went to extremes in every
thing. He was very intelligent, though.
Once, at his historic castle in Wales
there was a slight fire So, lest the
priceless pile burn down, he ordered an
enormous quantity of hand grenades,
or extinguishers, from London. When
the grcnades arrived they were hung
all over the castle but though it was
an enormous place. there were still
several dozen grenades left over at the
end of the hanging. "And what shall
1 do with Them, my lord?" the butler
asked. Lord Anglesey coughed-he was
already in q pretty bad way-and said
dryly to the butler: 'You may put
them in my coffin"
