WINTER GAMES AND TRICKS
Simple Yet PerpIexing A~rithmetical
Performance Helps to Amuse
Young People Evenings.

Odd or even is a trick which will oc.
casion considerable perplexity, and
yet it is very simple. You take a hand,
full of coins or counters, and invite
another person to do the same, and to
ascertain whether the number ne
takes is odd or even. You request the
company to observe that you have not
asked a single question of him, but
that you are able, Notwithstanding, to
divine his secret intentions and coun.
teract them. In proof of this you take
a number of coins and add them to
those he had taken If the number he
took was odd, the total shall be even
II, eJen, the total shall be odd.
Requesting him to drop the coins he
holds into a hat, held on high by one
of tho company, you drop in a certain
number on our W account. He is
now asked whether his number vas
odd or even; and, the coins being
counted, the total number proves to be
as you stated exactly reverse. Tris
experiment is tried aagin and agr,r
with different numbers, but the ressli
Is a always the same.
Tie result lies in the simple arith
metical fact that II you add an ode
number to an even number the result
will be odd; If you add an odd number
to gu odd number the result will be-
even You have only to take care
therefore, that the number you your
self add. whether large or small, shall
always be odd.

eventually rust or break off and will
thus injure the looks of the post. On
the other hand. holes through the
posts weaken them, and therefore this
method is, in general. unsatisfactory.
The simplest. easiest, and cheapest
way Of fastening a wire fence TO a
concrete post is by encircling the post
with a wire one size less than the
corresponding wire in the fence prop
er and by twisting this wire around
the strand of the fence. This is done
In two ways. The fastening wire is
itself and then to the fence wire; or
one end Of the fastening wire is twist
ed around the fence wire, and the
free end is then carried around the
post and twisted on the other side to
the same wire. Either plan is good,
but care must be taken to draw the
fastening wire tight. or else stock
trying to get through the fence may
raise or crush down the fencing with
their heads. If any trouble is expe-
rienced the post should be roughened
at the fastening point with a cold
chisel.
Expansion and contraction of the
fence due to heat and cold are cared
for by the tension curves or kinks"
in the ~wovenwire fencing. and no fear
may be felt in drawing the fastening
wires as tight as necessary. Wooden
mailing strips should lever be en-
bedded In the posts. for moisture will
swell the wood and crack the con-
crete.

at a Tree beyond II, or at any tall OBJ
ject, you will e your finger double.
Then look directly at your fnl er, and
you will e the tree double.
TIE explanation is that each eye
sees separately, and when both arr
looking at the finger the right eye secs
the tree on the right side of the fia-
ger and the left eye sees it on the left.
When, however, you look at the tree
directly with both eyes. each eye secs
the finger apparently in a different
place. Ii you will cover one eye ard
look with the other, you cannot sc e
either the tree or the finger double,
which is the proof of the experiment
Place two bits of white paper about
q foot apart on a table. Cover tho
right eye and look steadily at the
right hand piece of paper with the left
eye. BY stepping backward you will
reach a spot where the left hand piece
Of paper will disappear. You can
make the right hand piece of paper
disappear by looking i the left hand
piece of paper with the right eye.
When you have made one disappe ar
IA this way, move your head ever so
slightly backward or forward and the
paper viii instantly reappear. Tho rea-
son OF this is that every persons eye
has a blind spot en- the retina, and
when an image of the piece of paper
falls on the spot, II cannot be seen.
Physicians use this principle in the
correction Of vision.
Place on a gray background a piece
of colored paper in any design, and
look steadily at 1t for a minute or go.
Snatch the colored piece away, ana a
design exactly like it will be seen In
the same spot, but In a different color.
II the design was green. the replica
will be red; II yellow, the replica will
be violet.
Instead of snatching the paper away
after looking at it steadily. look up at
the ceiling, and the image will be

most every period is represented in the
seasons styles. this means a ~variet,
In hairdressing that no one head Of
hair could stand for.
Fortunately the demand is not made,
for many fashionable women who GO
in for ultra styles are frankly wearing
wigs. They call them transformations
perhaps. but wigs they are lone the
less.

Green Manurinu Helps the Sol,

The blowing under of green crops,
like peas, oats, clover, alfalfa and
other grasses. is, next to a liberal use
of barnyard manure, the most ap-
proved method of renewing a depleted
soil and of maintaining the fertility
Of newer land. Where this is prac-
tised, as at the Minnesota experiment
station, in connection with a rotation
of crops, there need be no fear of any
deterioration in the soil. Indeed. If a
sufficiency of live stock is kept, and
ths products of the farm mainly trans
formed into beef, mutton and poultry
before being sold, the land will grow
richer and more valuable each success
sive year.

Salt added to fresh manure when IN
large heaps in the field o u quarts per
cord would not improve it. 1t would
take up moisture and would tend TO
prevent heating, but nothing could be
gained under the circumstances. while
the salt itself does more harm than
good to some crops. If salt is to be
tried a better way would be to
sprinkle a little In the manure cutters
to soak up the liquid manure that
might otherwise go to waste. But I'm.
der any conditions not more than 200
to 500 pounds of salt should be used
to the acre.

is a thread known as carpet warp in

is preferred. The one in the cut was

seventy years old, but was such a

other free Towering ANIMALS.
On the bottom shelf is a galvanized
pan, 6 inches deep. This is filled With
rich soil composed of leaf-mold End
highly fortified garden soil. IN this
the seeds are planted; the pot plants
are arranged upon the shelves.
The whole thing should be put to
gether with some screws so thai i,
may be taken down and stored away
during the summer.
Select a window for your garden
that can be ventilated without any
draught on the plants. One hat is
absolutely alright.
Do not have the shelves too near
the glass, but allow space for a shade
to be pulled down cold nights. When
it is very cold. place several thick
nesses of newspaper between the
shade and the window.
The soil used for potting should be
composed largely of leaf mould and
sand. If leaf mould cannot be used
resort to rich garden loans, sand and
well-rotted manure, pulverized.
Pots, pans, baskets, boxes should
be provided with holes for drainage
and a layer of pebbles, stones, broken
crockery or cinders put In the pots
ETC., over the drainage holes.
When a plant needs water, the only
safe way is TO water thoroughly when
the top soil is dusty and dry to the
touch.
