LARGEST ANIMAL IN WORLD
Represented by Colossal Skeleton Of
Whale Eighty-seven Feet Long
In New Zealand Zoo,

What is claimed as the largest ami
NAL in the world is represented by a
colossal skeleton in the museum of
Christchurch, New Zealand. This is
the remains of large specimen of
the blue whale stranded on the coast
of that country. This whale is prob
ably the largest of all living animals.
The length of the skeleton is 81 feet,
and the head alone is 21 feet. The
weight of the bones is estimated at
nine tons. This gigantic whale gets
its name of blue whale from the dark
bluish-gray of it's upper surface The
tinge of yellow on it's lower part has
led to the name sulphur bottom" by
which it is known on the western side
of the Atlantic. 1t Is otherwise known
as Sibbald's rorqual (Balenoptera sib-
baldiD.
The chief food of this gigantic ami
NAL is small marine crustacean
(Trysanopoda inermis), known to the
Whalers as "kril." Another species of
the same shrimp-like group has been
obtained in thousands from the stom-
achs of mackerel caught on the Cor
nish coast. The nearly related opos.
sum shrimps, found in enormous mum.
Der in the Greenland seas, form the
chief food of the common whale
Some of the thysanopoda are phos
rhorescent and contribute to the
luminosity of the sea.

PLANT LOOKS LIKE INSECTS
Spots on Orchid Resemble Flies and
Destinations Are Pulling
to Flower Scholars.

Orchid limitations are a puzzle to
flower scholars The whole appear
ance of the flower is suggestive of
some insect, sometimes to quite re-
markable degree. 1t does not seem
easy to find any real purpose that
could be served by this resemblance,
yet no one imagines that it can be
accidental.
Any one who knew Of the bee or
child, native Of Europe, and came
upon it for the first time would at
once recognize it. It seems to be a
large velvety brown backed bee
variegated with yellow. The two
lateral petals might serve we'll for the
wings of the insect.
In the center of the lip of the fly
orchid there il small blush spot
like the body of a fly. The two lateral
petals are slender and curiously like
the antennae of an insect The whole
illusion is complete and suggests to
the casual glance that few nles are
hanging on the stem of some plant
which has cast its flowers.

stock farming to stock farming and

consumed in rearranging the farms
and equipment to make them suitable

Better Barns.
In the first place, it is necessary to
have better barns for dairy cattle than
are customarily used for beef cattle.
The dairy COW is confined to the barn
for a large portion of the year and
consequently the barn should be we'll
ventilated, we'll lighted and sanitary in
it's construction If a good quality of
milk Is to be produced In large quanti-
ties. Owing to the fact that the COW
converts her feed into milk and but
ter-fat rather than into beef, it is
necessary for her to have better shell
ter because she cannot Withstand the
cold weather as can the beef steer
whose body is at all times covered
with a thick covering of fat which
acts as protection from the cold.
Seven Points Worth Considering.
In barn for dairy COWS the
following points should be observed as
essentials: Convenience, light, heat,

Katie, of Pennsylvania Dutch de-

wealthy Virginia family.
For more than half of this term Of
service one Jacob, of her own people,
had at intervals come a-calling. He
had sat in the kitchen and watched
the deft and skilful movements Of
Kate with marked respect and ponder
Gus admiration, but he had never

of the seventh year she took the reins
of destiny In her own hands and ad-
dressed her admirer thus:

BOYS IN INTENSIVE FARMING
Twelve Thousand Southern Lads
Show How Productiveness Of Land
May Be Increased.

More than $4,000 southern boys less
than eighteen years old planted and
cultivated an acre of corn each year
under the direction of the department
of agriculture. Persons interested in
the experiment in Arkansas, Missis-
sippi. South Carolina and Virginia Of
fered to pay the expenses of trip
to Washington for the boy in each
state who raised the greatest amount
of corn on his acre. The winning
boys will soon visit the national cap
ital
The average yield of corn to the
acre in 1909 was little more than
twenty-five bushels. The South Caro-
lima boy, who made the best record,
produced 1921, says Youths Com
panion. If they should be followed ex-
actly the yield of corn to the acre
could easily be doubled in a single
year.
Intensive cultivation is worth while
on all crops. The average yield of
potatoes to the acre in 1909 was 107
bushels, but the Maine farmers aver
aged 225 bushels, and some of the
more progressive of them dug 400
bushels to the acre. The yield of corn
and potatoes depends more upon cult
walton and fertilization than upon the
soil, and there is practically no part
Of the United States in which these
crops cannot be raised successfully.
1t is beyond doubt that larger crops
can be produced from ten acres thor
oughly titled than from two or even
three times ten acres cultivated as
they usually are. The fact that the
South Carolina .prizewinner raised
more corn on one acre than the aver
age farmer produces from six tells a
story that should not be lost upon
those for whose benefit the expert
ment was made.

markable speed with this device and
can have many a good race with his
friends. Another use for it is as
regular coaster, for gliding down hill,
though as has been seen it can be
pushed up hill and has therefore an
advantage over most coasters, espe-
cially those that depend on snow.
Finally, the device can be used as a
cart, there being an attachment that
serves as seat. Being of such light
construction, the small boy will find
it much easier to pull his comrades
on this than on the ordinary wagon,
and it is very strongly made so there
is no danger of a breakdown.

Faithful Woman Employee.

Mrs. Electra l.. Smith for more thar

the government, recently resigned from
the service, and has now returned ia
her home in Sterling, Ill. Mrs. Smith
has identified herself closely with the
affairs of the Grand Army of the Re

Relief corps, and has worked for these
with all her patriotic soul ever since
the war; During the Spanish-Amer

time and salary to the benefit of the
soldiers of that war. Mrs. Smith has

and proper attention is paid to the
character of the sires used, in the
course of twenty years time, allow
ing a ten per cent. death loss in both
the COWS and the calves, that there is
a possibility of the young mans own
ing herd amounting in numbers to
nearly 1000 head. BY so building up
the pure-bred herd, the dairyman
grows with the business and becomes
educated in the best methods of caring
for the COWS, keeping the records,
etc., as the herd increases, and l do
not hesitate to say that the best herds
which we have in the world today
have been built up in this manner
rather than by the purchasing Of a
large, pure-bred herd to begin with.
BY thus slowly increasing the herd it
is possible for the breeder to keep
close watch of his COWS, always know
ing which are the profitable ones and
which are the improbable. It Is true
that even though the best of cows are
used as a foundation and though the
greatest of care Is used in the selec-
ton of sires with which to mate them,
there are always more or less disap-
pointments which can only be found
by the use Of the scales and the Bah
cock test BY weighing each cows
milk at each milking period and by
testing a days yield once month to
determine the percentage Of butter
fat, it is very simple matter for the
farmer to know at the end of the year
how much milk and butter-fat each of
his cows have produced. During the
years gone by, it has been common
policy for the farmer to sell his good
COWS and in many instances keep
those cows on his farm which were
actually not paying for the feed they
consumed. He did not do this because
it was his desire to do so, but he was
not aware that there was so much DIFF
ference between the different indi-
Stduals in his herd. Today the wise
