Value of Relnu socIahIe.

To simply live alone, with no pro vision for the qualification of the so- cial instincts, is apt to prove too se- 7ere strain upon the reserve forces of even the happiest marriage There Is some excuse outside the home wherein no thought is given to social pleasure, while the wife is apt to grow petty and personal, and so less attractive as she shuts herself away from intercourse with others, says Woman's Life. This dropping out is very easy, but even when prosperity comes, and large social functions are possible, 1t is too late to gain that most valuable possession, friendship, which Is entirely independent of f1nan- cial success. To have and to hold a place in the social life of the world is not only the right but the duty of the young wife who desires to have a home in its truest and best senses.

Pronunciation of "JuIy.

The Spenserian pronunciation of the word July is not by any means dead yet. In English country dis tricts the accent is still commonly put on the first syllable, while in Scotland that pronunciation Is the general one. But the word does not then rhyme with duly" for the sec ond syllable is as clearly pronounced as if it were accented. Indeed, July" might almost be included in the small list of English spondees, which is generally held to consist solely of Amen" and "Goodby" "Goodby" has always seemed to the writer a very doubtful specimen, for it is seldom that one hears its two syllables equal y accented. Another unrecognized spondee is, if one accepts the rural pronunciation. the name of the month April Millions of Englishmen pro- nounce it slowly and deliberately "Ay-pril."

PUZZLE FOR POULTRY RAISER
investigators Hope to Be Able to In. crease Laying Capacity of AV-
 craze Hen.

Can a hen lay 200 eggs a year?
 Some hens lay more than that. The record of one energetic layer has been 213 eggs in 261 days. But the everyday hen lays only 12O eggs in a year. To augment the milk of the COW signifies merely an increase through breeding of the size and pro- 1uctiveness of the lacteal glands. But DO human power has been devised for placing into a hen larger number of eggs than nature has provided her with. She comes supplied with about 500 eggs. And the problem is to in- luce her to lay about 400 of these turing the first two years of her life. After that 1t does not matter much, since she is doomed for extinction by that time.
 The scientists have discovered that of the two egg receptacles with which every bullet is provided only one is developed, the other being non-pro- iuctive and useless. The eggs found h the bullet are massed together much like a bunct o: grapes. They are mere cells about 9 sixty-fourth of an HUI III uidiHSleI baCu cOnSlSlS Ol l tiny spherical me ss of protoplasm surrounded by membrane. In the center of the little cell of the white of the egg Is the nucleus which repre- sents the vital principle of the egg and contains a modified protoplasm called chromatin, which is one of the most mysterious and wonderful sub stances in nature.
 The chromatin carries the inherited characteristics of the fowl and Is the physical basis of all heredity. It is by he fatigueless study of the beginnings of things that investigators hope to be able to increase the laying capacity of he average hen and thus to add great y to the human food supplies.

SELECTING GOOD SEED CORN
Care Should Be Taken to Secure Ears Attached to Stalk Three Feet
 Above Ground.

The first steps toward better seed
 ,orn for next year must be taken in he fall by selecting the seed ears rom the stalks in the field. The corn should be allowed to mature we'll on he stalk. By selecting the earliest maturing ears and picking them from he stalk as soor as as the husks be- gin to turn yellow. which is a common practise, earliness is secured at the expense of vitality.
 A slight frost will not injure corn f 1t is well matured and it is better 70 run the risk of frost than to pick he ears too early. The latter part of he growing season seems to improve he vitality of the corn greatly. Care should be taken in picking ,eed to secure ears which are attached Q the stalk about three feet above he ground. Those ears which grow either very high or very low upon the stalk should be rejected as they are undesirable, having characteristics which we do not desire. For the tame reason we should avoid select lng ears with very short or long shanks or from deformed stalks
 Go into the field after the husks on the ears have turned yellow and select the well formed ears from good stalks. Put them in sacks or baskets and bring them to the side of the field and husk. It is we'll to follow definite 7ows in securing seed corn, otherwise l large number of good ears are missed. After the corn is husked many ears will be found imperfect and should be discarded. Only those ears should be retained for curing for seed that are of good form. Seed corn should be put into the proper place for curing the same day that It Is taken from the field.

STUDENT WHIPS PROFESSORS
Then He Burns His Diploma to Show What He Thinks of the
 University.

Syracuse, N. Y-Dean Sheppard and Prof Paul c. Nugent of the Ly- man C. Smith college of applied sci ence fared badly in fist fights with Herbert w Faus, a graduate of the civil engineering department. Vexed over the delay in obtaining his diplo- ma after he had made up two sub jects in which he was back because of his time given to athletics, Faus walked into the deans office and said:
 If you want to know what think of this institution and your diploma, I will show you" and he started to light a cigar with the diploma.
 Don't try that or there will be trouble, young man." warned the dean, but Faus was not frightened.
 ''If that is what you mean" replied Faus, just take of your glasses
 While the diploma was burning in the students hand the dean struck him on the nose, drawing blood and cutting it. Faus retaliated and had by far the better of the argument. After this encounter Faus went to the home of Professor Nugent and had another fight.

In a Tropical Forest.

Dr. Charles H. Townsend, director of the New York aquarium, who re gently spent a month in and about the straits of Magellan, contributes to the Popular Science Monthly an account of his experience. The per petual snow line is only 1000 to 5000 feet above tidewater, and yet in the summer season wonderful flowers and ripe berries are to be gathered, while humming-birds. parrots and fiamingoes abound. Fortunately there are no mosquitoes. No ordinary description can convey a clear idea of the gen. erally impenetrable character of the forests, which are more tangled and difficult than those of the tropics Fallen trees and branches cover deep ly the whole forest floor, these in turn being mostly concealed with mossse and large plants. the whole always sat ursted as if by recent rainstorm After clambering over decayed logs, heavily blanketed with mosses, one may land waist deep in boggy vegeta- tion. Progress is possible only by constant and laborious climbing over obstructions."

NOW, ALL GO TO IT
KISS TILL YOU RAISE BUSTERS,
 IT'S ALL RIGHT.
Uncle sam's Chief Chemist Puts His O. K. on OscuIation; So, as Long as It's UnaduIterated Bliss
 You're Safe.

Washington-The proposition tc abolish the gentle practise of oscula tion by anti-kissing crusades and health societies is scoffed at by those medical men of Washington who have the least grain of sentimentality left in them, and is regarded as the hugest kind of joke.
 Dr. Harvey F. Wiley, chief of the bureau of chemistry of the depart ment of agriculture, who probably knows as much about disease germs of various kinds as any other man in this country, says he has yet to see a single instance in which a life has been wrecked or shortened as a direct result of disease germs transmitted from diseased person to healthy one by the kissing route.
 In Cincinnati the women have formed the Worlds Health Organiza- ton, or anti-kissing league, which is doing it's utmost to abolish the time honored custom of kissing. No more spooning in parks or darkened door ways just before good night is said, is the cdict of inc society All of which has caused Doctor Wiley to wonder what Is the matter with the Queen City women.
 "A society for the prevention of kissing said the doctor, Ifs nothing less than society for the prevention of pleasure. Just imagine a kissless courtshipl Can you contemplate more uninteresting predicament? l certainly would like to get one peep at the members of an organization which approves of such thing.
 While long since have retired from the spooning business, still l have memory, and whenever any one quotes me as saying that believe the kissing habit should be abolished you can put it down that I have been mis- quoted.
 q have reached the stage where I confine my kissing entirely to rela- tives and babies, but that is not be- cause feel the i'll effects of disease transmission from mouth to mouth.
 Take a darkened nook on a moon light night, with the beams playing around a couple idly swinging in a hammock; let the anti-kissing society get to work in such case, and see what would happen. It would not be long before the pair would shift their position and find a more secluded spot.
 You can't keep it down and there's no use trying, and so long as good, red blood courses through the veins of the American youth. and the adults and the aged, too, so far as that is concerned, that delightful sensation which is experienced when lips touch and arms clasp and two hearts beat qs one,' will continue to exist.
 Doctor Wiley Is an "old bach" too.

Hot Weather churnIna.

The principal difficult in churning in not weather is in getting the proper :emperature. A cool cellar, spring house in connection with a we'll of cold water will be wonderful help If one 1oes not have ice. The churning should always be done in the morning before the heat of the day comes on. It must be kept in mind that if butter comes warm. there is little or no over- run. while if 1t is properly cared for and churned at the right temperature. the churn gain will be about 16 per cent, or one-sixth. From ten per cent to fifteen per cent. interest in overrun pays one profitable dividends for a few simple precautions.

CALIFORNIA; WINE cISTERN
This Huge Tank Is the Largest in the World, Carved From Solid
 Rock.

One of the show places of northern California is the ItaIian-Swiss colony immense dry wine vineyard and win cry at Asti in Sonoma county, which Is also famous as being the section where Luther Burbank, the plant wiz ard, has conducted most of his won- derful experiments with flowers and fruits.
 At Asti is the largest wine tank in the world. This great cistern is vir- tually huge subterranean lake of wine, carved from the solid rock and lined with a two foot thickness of Portland cement, with a glazed sur face. The upper sides and roof are of reinforced concrete topped by unique center dome built of rough rocks. This mighty tank contains enough ruby vintage for whole nation to toast it's heroes with and is just 10 times as large as the great tun at Heidelberg
 To be precise, the Asti cistern is S4 feet long, 34 feet wide and 25 feet high, and its contents would provide a glass each to 16,000,000 people. An idea of it's great size may be gained from the fact that when it was first emptied a hundred couples joined in a gay ball within it, to the music of a large military band.
 The cistern was built to conserve the wine until an opportune time ar rived for selling it, and to make large blends and maintain from year to year the same type and character. In this tremendous underground concrete re- ceptacle the ruddy vintage, hermetic- ally enclosed and safe from outside in. huences. mellows and ripens.

Amonq the Bees.

The queen bee Is the mother of all bees and one fertilization is sufficient turing her entire life of usefulness. Therefore. by simply replacing the lueen with purely mated Italian Iueen the entire colony will be changed o that race; and if the change is made turing the summer months the change will be completed in about three months time.
 Moth worms are practically un- known in apiaries of Italians or their crosses. To get rid of the moths in hives of black bees. remove the black Iueens and introduce untested Italian queens in their place, and as soon as he bees of the Italian strain begin to hatch they will make short stay" of he moth worms.
