FL0WER-PICKING MACHINE.

An apparatus for plucking flowers
and collecting seed consists OF tube
connected with a pair of shears. At
the forward end of the tube is a fork
which is slipped under the flowers
The blossoms imprisoned between the
prongs are severed by a blade travel
ing upon the fork, and are dropped
through the tube into a receptacle at
the rear of the apparatus.
The device not only collects flowers
very quickly but also without injury.
When the flowers are plucked by hand
IL is almost impossible to break twig
without leaving behind a long silver
of bark. Sometimes even a whole
plant must be torn up by the roots,
The apparatus can also be employed
for collecting seed capsules which are
often crushed when picked by hand.
so that the seed is lost The entire
capsule drops uninjured into the re
eeptacle at the rear, so that the seed
is preserved

SEVENTEEN YEAR LOCUSTS.
The Theory That They Are an Aid to
Tilers Of the Soil.

lIloTo OF INC Ooil'
An observing farmer has advanced
n novel theory respecting the seven
teen year locusts. He says:
"In my section the earth was pierced
full Of holes made by the locusts when
they came out Of the ground There
were places where these holes almost
touched each other. When the rains
came these openings permitted the wa
ter to enter the soil much more freely
than has been possible the last few
years. AS evidence the last blowing
did the ground was moist and soft far
ther below the surface than the plow
goes. / am convinced that this con-
dition is the result Of the work Of the
tlOcusts."
This opinion is in line with the often
repeated assertions that earthworms
are an aid to fertility because they
work the soil over and keep 1t soft. II
Is not impossible that locusts could
help In this way too. The farmers
observation regarding the eggs and
where they are deposited are inaccu-
rate, however
The eggs are deposited in holes made
in the tender shoots of trees, more Of
ten in or near the point where the
new wood of the year began to grow.
This is the only damage the locust is
known to do. High winds will often
break a twig at these perforations.
As soon as the eggs hatch the larvae
Immediately emerge from the hole in
the twig, drop to the ground, burrow
out Of sight'and take refuge near some
protecting root There they remain
seventeen. years in the north and thir-
teen in the south.

An Interesting Game Which Will Be
Enjoyed by Young Folks.
Have a sheet or screen so placed
that shadows may be cast upon it.
Facing it have one of the players sit
ting in such a position that he can sec
only the screen, not anything that is
going on behind him. This player is
called "the Waterman" Now, behind
the Waterman and at such a distance
that there is space for person to walk
between the Waterman and the light
place a candle.
The object of the game is for the
Waterman to guess from the shadows
cast who is passing behind him.
The players. going one by one, may
disguise themselves by limping, bow
ing the head or wearing hat, but gen
orally the Waterman. if he is discern
ing, may detect the player by some pc
culiarity. For every one he. guesses
correctly forfeit must be paid by the
one discovered.
This is an evening pastime that is
certain to be popular at parties for the
young people.

Shippinq Money Away.

It is reported on reliable authority
that no less than $71 100000 has been
sent out of this country to Europe in
the past year by immigrants who are

because these immigrants earn money
here and ship 1t out of the country.

on the farms who make n practice of

Variety Of Uses.
Consider the lilies of the field" we
are told, and, while lilies do not sug-
gest sunhowers to us, still the latter
may be considered with much profit.
We hear q good deal Of the byprod-
uct these days, and in the sunfower,
the byproduct of the back yard, the
COW lot and the roadsi,>. a byproduct
many people scorn or at best only toll
crate, lurk commercial possibilities
which are just coming to be realized.
Our grandmothers planted sunhowers
for decorative purposes, possibly for
chicken feed, but further than that
they never went unless they believed
in the old saying that sunhowers keep
away malaria.
e Today 1t is recognized that the sun
flower may become an economic factor
If cultivated to any extent. Russia has
realized this for some time, and there
the sunflower industry is most fully
developed. 1t has received much at
tention in India and Egypt also, and
some in Turkey, Germany, Italy and
France. The sunhower has many uses.
The seeds have been considered good
feed for fowls, and parrots are particu-
larly fond of them, but now man Is
using them for food.
In Russia they are staple article
of diet. The seeds are sold on the
streets as peanuts are sold here, the
only difference being that they are
eaten raw. The most important prod
uct which comes from the sunfower
probably is the oil, which is obtained
from the seed by pressing them and
which of all vegetable oils most closely
resembles olive oil. 1t is used for ia
BILE purposes. When this best oil has
been extracted, by further pressure
more can be produced, which is of an
inferior quality, but which is good for
candle and soap making or for hair oil
or is used in place Of linseed oil.-Ma-
