HoPPERs EAT CoAT.-Farmer

HOPPERS EAT OAT.-Farmers
near Washington fear that the corn
crop this year will not be more than a
half yield, if that. The dry weather
prevented it from shooting right and
from filling properly. 1t favored the
increase of grasshopper hordes which
are devouIing the corn. their favorite
portion being the tender silk, close to
the corn, and when this is .gone there
can be no grains. Recently Oscar
West, of Venetia, attended Sunday
school picnic near his home, doffed
his coat and placed it in a grassy
place. When he went to get his coat
he found it eaten up by the hoppers.

All Germs Take Warning.

Numerous antiseptics and germ icides have been discovered, but they have not been of much use for taking internally, as remedy against germ diseases, because if they are made strong enough to kill the germ they will kill the patient. Prof. H. c. Carel of Min nesota university, however. now says that he has found a germieide that overcomes this difficulty.
 He names this new drug sbene- tel" It is eight times as powerful as carbolic acid and yet is not pois- on. He believes that with this powerful but harmless antiseptic at hand. the war on germ diseases can be carried on with much better success than hitherto. One dron of benetol' in a cup of germ polluted water, he says. will des- troy all the germs and make the water perfectly safe to drink.

The Useful Native Sunflower.

Americans do not regard the sunflower, which is said to be one of our own native plants. as being of much practical service, but in Russia it is utilized in many ways
 There the seed is eaten in i'm mense quantities, raw. or roasted as peanuts are in America, and the oil obtained by pressing the seeds is an important article of food. The frequent religious feasts days in Russia restrict the use of meat and lead to large consumption of vegetable oil, and the manufacture of sunf1ower oil has consequently grown to considerable dimensions in that country. The best seeds yield an oil that compares favora- bly with olive oil for table pur- poses.
 Even the upper classes in Rus sia, it is said, eat the seed, the larger and finer ones being quite equal to most nuts in respect of palatabllity ard Whelesemeness.

Horses Not Extinct Yet.

If the auto thinks it is driving the horse out of existence it is mistaken Recent figures show that the number of horses in the United States now is upwards of 5O,OOO,oOO, while 10 years ago it was l4,ooo.OoO.
 The average value of horses in 1900 was only $45. while today it is more than double as much. AL though American horsefesh is val ued COW at nearly three million dollars, whereas a decade ago. when autos were being introduced 1t was only one third as much. We thus see that the horse has a good cause to indulge in one of those horselaughs on his upstart rival, the chug- wagon.

Waste on AmeCiCan Farms.

Perhaps the greatest source of waste. and the most unpardonable one, on American farms is in the home produced fertilizers, It has been demonstrated that on the av- craze farm fully one-half or more of the value of the fertiliz CTS pro- duced at home is lost through neg leet and exposure to the weather. Most Of the manure from the barns is allowed to lie out in the rains and leach until there is little left to it except the humus 1t adds to the ground. Poultry and hog house litter is scarcely ever saved, al- though they are one of the most valuable sources of fertilizer in the more concentrated form, Then there is the ash pan that is usually emptied to the wind and the ashes allowed to scatter wherever the wind carries it. If a good stone ash house is provided and the chicken house litter, ashes and some land plaster to prevent loss of nitrogen, are stored in this ash house through the winter. a good surp'y of a very concentrated and easily available fertilizer IS at hand at but small cost of labor.
 If one goes into figures and est mates fully what all this amounts to money in the course of a few years, the sums will be found al most appalling. Take this one matter of manure. It would be a poor farm, indeed. that does not produce $1O0 worth of manure in a year at the present prices of commercial fertilizers. and it would be a poor farmer who would not get double the value, commercially, if he applies this manure to his crops. One hundred dollars year and placed out at z per cent inter- est and compound interest for twenty years would amount to some $4,OOO. That is more than a good many farmers save off their whole farm in that length of time, and more than some save in life time.
