ODD SHOWERS OF SPIDERS

Gilbert White gives an account Of
a spider shower that continued for
nearly whole day. Darwin saw one
at sea. Each spider was supported,
1t appears, by tiny parachute COM
posed of few threads of almost in
visible gossamer. Spider showers
have from time to time been made the
subject of scientific reports In this
country. One of them gives this
description of the phenomenon:
On the morning Of this shower
there had been some electrical dis
turbance. There had been one loud
peal Of thunder but no rain. AT ~
o'clock there was observed a number
of spiders that ran over the coat
sleeves Of the observer. He brushed
on several trails Of gossamer web.
Upon looking about he discovered
that the houses. walls and trees
showed these webs dangling from
them; and that other gossamer webs
we're continually falling from above
and adding to the accumulation.
BY midday a fence was festeoned
from point to point Of its triangular
rail tops with q ribbonlike ladder OF
gossamer, and this continued to be-
come broader and broader as the tiny
creatures continued to run along this
ladder, each spider increasing the
breadth by adding its own contribu-
ton of another silken thread.
All along this ladder the spiders
were running in an excited and hur-
ried manner, as II they has lost their
way in a strange country. Some, In
proceeding over their improvised
road, made mistakes and got into the
bordering webs of the garden spiders,
by which they were speedily de-
voured.
At 1 o'clock the clouds vanished,
the sun came out and the observer
noticed that some of the spiders had
begun to reascend into the atmos-
phere. Fixing his gaze upon one OF
them he observed that as 1t left the
gossamer pathway 1t selected clean
spot on an iron railing and. gathering
its legs closely together, projected its
spinnerets, several threads that ex-
tended outward and stretched up
ward from nine to twelve inches.
Then this parachute seemed to show
buoyant tendency. and suddenly the
tiny creature let go Of the iron rail.
or was lifted OF it. and quickly vai'-
ished into the air.

RAPE FOR SOUTHERN STATES
Experiment Station Gives Expert
ence With Crop.

For several years the Missouri sta
ton attempted to grow rape success
fully by following the instructions
given by the experiment stations In
Canada and the northern states.
These instructions in most cases IN
sisted that to succeed In growing rape
1t was necessary to plant it late-from
June l to Is.
Professor Mumford says:
I'VE have never succeeded in grow
ing rape when planted at this time.
For the past three or four years We
have sown our rape for pasture at the
earliest possible date in the spring.
One year the rape was sown In Febru-
airy, but it is generally sown in March.
By this method we have been able to
secure good pastures as early as the
middle of May and this pasture prop
erly handled will furnish good grazing
the entire season.
"One can grow rape successfully on
land now planted to rye. either BY
sowing four pounds of rape seed per
acre in the rye. by means of q disk
drill. or it will pay to pillow the rye
ground and SOW the rape separately.
I should be inclined to follow the for
mer method. By this means the rye
will furnish good pasture in May and
the rape will come In for later gras.
Ing.
In some cases We have been able
to pasture as many as ten pigs PEI
acre for the season. The rape, II
sown early. will be ready to pasture
before the rye Is In the milk"

Sow Rape in Cornfields.

A. feeding proposition there II
none more attractive than the fatten-
ing OF sheep on rape In corn fields.
Sow the rape at the last cultivation Of
the corn crop. Buy good feeders early
and turn them into the field as soon
as It is ready. Sheep have a great
relish for rape and will make rapid
gains from early fall until the begin
ming of winter. No grains will be re-
quired. The rape and the corn shoots
and blades will insure sufficient in
crease In weight to make a profit well
worth seeking Old ewes that have
passed their maternity usefulness can
be conditioned and sold for good
prices from the corn and rape field.

Pastures for Hogs.

Our successful farmers have long

than one pasture for hogs. Some pas

says c. Bolles, and thus allow the al
falfa to renovate while being used
only as a hay meadow.
A better system, we find. is to have
enough pastures to turn from one to
another just. as the grass gets eaten
down in spots in the pasture in which
they are feeding. BY taking the stock
OF from such pasture and clipping
it. all the grass gets an even start
and won't tend to become killed out
so soon through heavy pasturing.

SINGS DUETS WITH HIMSELF

German physicians are trying to

a double voice. His normal voice is
a baritone of wide range, but in sing
ing he is able to accompany himself
in a higher key. The Berliner KIN
nische Wochenschrift says that Dr.
Schreier introduced this man at re-
cent meeting OF the Berlin Laryngo-
logical society, the members OF which
examined him, without being able to
throw any light on this human duet
In demonstrating his faculty he sings
an air first In the normal, then in the
double voice. Unfortunately. when
the laryngoscope Is in position for
study the double singing is produced

it is. And the same statement Is true
of gravel or macadam. We may there

must plan for brick or cobblestone.
