The Experimental Plot.

Every farmer should have. and east
ly can nave. a small experimental plot
of ground for testing the soil and diff
ferent crops. No farmer can ever
know the highest capacity of his soil
till he has fortified small portion
of his land very heavily with a COM
plete balanced mixture of fertilizers,
planted the very best of seed, and
given the crop, or crops, extra good
cultivation. Many farmers hear. or
read of 100 bushels of corn to the
acre, or several hundred dollars an
acre made in growing special crops,
and do not believe that it is possible
They do not believe it because they
have never done half so well on their
own land, but they never put half the
amount of fertilizers, nor half as good
seed, nor half as good cultivation, to
the crops they grew. Try an acre, or
even a half acre, of ground on your
own farm this coming season and see
what results can be had from ii. Be
gin now TO fertilize and do not stop
till the piece of land is as fertile as
it can well be made with at least
three different kinds of fertilizing mat
ter. Prepare the land in the very best
manner, use the best seed. and give a
dozen civilizations. You will surprise
yourself with results.-J0urnal of
Agriculture.

A LITTLE THING

Coffee blots out the sunshine from
many a home by making the mother,
or some other member of the house
hold, dyspeptic, nervous and irritable.
There are thousands of cases where
the proof Is absolutely undeniable.
Here is one.

carly age, and also at an early age be
came victim to headaches, and as ]

About five years ago a friend urged

and the result was so satisfactory that
we have used it ever since.
MY husband and little daughter
were subject to bilious attacks, but
they have both been entirely free from
them since we began using Postum
instead of coffee | no longer have
headaches and my health is perfect
If some of these nervous, tired, irri-
table women would only leave off cof-
fee absolutely and try Postum they
would find a wonderful change in their
life. 1t would then be filled with sun
shine and happiness rather than weari-
ness and discomfort And think what
an effect it would have on the family,
for the mood of the mother is largely
responsible for the temper of the chill

There was set up in the seventeenth
century at Yarmouth, Isle of Wight,
what is probably the most curious
piece of art extant, erected to the
memory of Sir Robert Holmes, Brit
ish naval officer of that period. The
odd circumstance is that the statue
was not originally designed for
Holmes at all, but for very differ
ent parsonage, no other, indeed, than
Louis XIV of France. This statue, fin
ished as to the figure, Tut in the rough
as to the head, was being taken 70
France on an Italian vessel when it
was captured by British man-of-war
commanded by Holmes. Upon per-
ceiving the unfinished condition of the
statue Holmes, with grim husnor, COM
PEELED the artist, who had accompanied
his work, to chisel his (Holmes)
head on the kings body. And so it
stands to-day. Holmes was eventually
made governor of the Isle of Wight,
which fact accounts for the location of
this mongrel bit of artistry.

Antiquity of the Water Pump.

Improvement on Grecian invention
which first came into use during the
reign of Ptolemies Philadelphos and
Energetes, 2S3 to 221 B. c. The name,
which is very similar in all languages
is derived from the Greek word penn

pump is by Hero of Alexandria. There
is no authentic account of the general

fury. At about that time the endless
chain and bucket works for raising
water from mines began to be replaced
by pumps. In the seventeenth century
rotating pumps, like the Pappenham
engine, with two pistons, and the
Prince Rupert, with one, were first
used. Pumps with plunger pistons
were invented by Morland, an Eng
lishman, In 1874, and the double act

academician.

From Father to Son.
The ragpickers of Paris are born to

from father to son for generations.
Each ragpicker family has its own dis

In spite of all the progress made in
modern and elegant Paris barrels of
waste are piled up on the streets in
front of many buildings on beautiful
boulevards in the early morning hours,

mission of the ragpickers to examine
this refuse.
They have use for everything, and
but little is left after they have passed.

collected about the same time. Mixing
cream from three or four days skim

far as possible. This requires some
more work. but it makes better but
