Land for Goat Raising.

In general way all land in the
United States except very low.
swampy tracts are suitable for goat
raising, The feed that goats prefer
is browse with a small admixture of
weeds and grass. and therefore those.
tracts burdened with brushwood and
briers are especially desirable. The
fact makes 1t clear that in the colder
parts of the country 1t would be neces-
sary to provide some feed in winter.
as nothing but the soft twigs remain
at that time as browse. Goats will eat
grass If required to do so and will
thrive upon 1t, but grass land 10 re-

highly magnified representation of the
foreleg of worker bee. The little
finger and the groove shown at what
is called the tibia-palmar Joint are
used to clean the ligula or tongue and
the antennae or feelers. To accom-

placed in the groove, the leg flexed or
drawn up, which decreases the space
between finger and groove. The ligula

The act may be observed daily as the

GUM CHEWING IN AMERICA
Omnlpresent Habit Strikes Visitors
From Abroad as One OF the
Country's Wonders.

Washington.-Twen students
and three professors of the University
of Commerce, in Cologne, now in this
country, find the gum chewing habit
looming large among the wonders OF
America. This ought to cause no sur.
prise 20 Americans as all are familiar
with the omnipresent nickel-in.the.
slot gum machine, the inexhaustible
sticks of chewing gum in Jars and

Baseball players chew gum to keep

persons chew in the belief that they
are aiding their digestion, but most
people chew because they have got the
habit. Probably finai analysis would
reveal all intimate connection between
nerves and habitual gum chewing.
There have been attempts to estab
lish gum in Europe The results are
as yet inconsiderable. However, the
demand right here in the United

Some years ago there was published
In the Gazette a design for building
walls Of concrete for farm use. The
idea was Of thin curtain wall, only
inches thick, carefully reinforced
and held by buttresses or concrete
posts at distances of about 10 feet
apart. II there Is much pressure
against the wall II will be better to
put these buttresses only feet or s
feet apart. Since published my plans
! have seen several walls that had
been built In the manner described,
and know that they are all right. I
have also learned something of how
one can best do the work and have
no cracking at all. writes Joseph E.
Wing In Breeders Gazette. Bear now
well in mind that this, while It looks
like a wall. is really on the principle
OF a concrete fence. the thickness Of
the part between supports being but
inches, capped with a 4.inch cap 10
inches wide. To the observer It is a
thick, heavy wall and II Is immensely
strong. The panels themselves need
not go into the earth. unless to pre-
vent washing under OF water; then
they may enter 12 inches or more In

trench dug for the purpose.
