Electrical EarmInn

Very successful efforts have been at

Ill, in his efforts to facilitate the
growth Of vegetables and grain by the
use of electricity. He has a network
Of wires spread over his farm at a
point about eight feet above the sur
face, and after the seeds have been
planted a current Of electricity is
maintained constantly passing through
these, and in this manner the air is
Kept In constantly charged condition.
At times the polarity Of thewire and

the earth is the negative terminal and
at other times the wires are. Speci-
mems grown almost side by side, ex-

the use of the current. The gentleman
is an electrician as well as a farmer.
and he is convinced that electrical

censorlna the AdvertIser.

The new Danish law against unfaii
competition and untrue advertise
ments, which went into effect October
1, is not unlike certain laws already
in force in Germany. It is not liked
by merchants because of the provision
which forbids more than two clear
ing" sales a year by any store. Ac-
cording to the report Of our Copen-
hagen consul, exceptions are made
in case a bankrupt stock is to be sold
or the death of a partner or owner
shall cause the closing out Of business
below cost or II bona-fide winding
up OF the business is undertaken, or
IL the place of business is to be re-
moved to another locality, etc. II,
however, any of the above exceptions
can be shown not to have been true,
criminal prosecution is possible"
Nearly every European idea comes to
America sooner or later, but we al
ready have in Massachusetts, a statute
against untrue advertisements.

MAKE LIVING DIGGING WORMS
Peculiar Summer Pursuit Engaged In
by English 6oatmen During
the Fishing Season.

There are probably few of the many
visitors who annually spend their
holidays at seaside resorts who know
the means by which boatmen and 9TH
ers engaged in summer pursuits earn
a livelihood during the winter months.
Among the various winter occupa-
tons carried on around our shores.
there is, at the quaint little seaport
town of Wells, on the north Norfolk
coast, at least one industry which is
rather of an unusual nature and
which provides several families with
a winters keep" This industry is
known as worm digging" and at the
present time there are about thirty
men engaged in the work.
These men go down at low tide to
what are known as 'the east sands"
each provided with, fork and basket,
or similar appliances, and there dig
for sandworms, which are used as bait
for fishing.
An experienced hand can dig up
about a thousand worms at a tides
work." l. e., during the period OF low
tide, but even this number is frequent
ly exceeded.
The worms are sent by rail in small
wooden boxes to Yarmouth. Lowestoft
and similar places, 100000 a week
being a modest estimate of the num-
Der of worms 50 dispatched. The
price has varied at different times,

MEALS FOR A WINTER DAY.

To begin with breakfast, the meal
which Is often the bugbear Of the
cook. let it be simple, but satisfying
enough to last the individual until the
MONDAY meal. Whole wheat, which
has been washed, soaked over night,
and then cooked until well broken BY
slow heat in a fireless cooker or
double boiler, is an ideal breakfast
dish, with thin cream. This Is a dish
especially good for growing children
and men who work hard at manual
labor.
Buckwheat griddle cakes are most
appetizing when well made. and may
always be ready for every breakfast

Take yeast cake dissolved In water,

add little salt and enough buck

batter. Beat well and set away until

warm place to rise. In the morning
reserve a cupful of this mixture to
set again as a starter for the next
mornings cakes. To the batter to be
used, add a very little sour milk and
small amount of soda dissolved In
a little boiling water. Beat we'll and

soon as the last one is placed. be

as piling them makes any good cake

way are entirely wholesome, and may
be eaten every morning during cold
weather.
A bit of sausage or bacon, fried

cakes, a cup Of good coffee and q
doughnut or piece of coffee cake viii
make a good. substantial meal, which
will stay by until the next is needed.
A good beginning for breakfast Is

been reasonable in price this winter,

ing against such action by congress.
The resolution declares that for
more than forty years the farmers OF
the northwest have paid high tariffs
for the upbuilding of manufacturing
industries in hopes of obtaining bet
ter markets and higher prices for
food products. The time has come,
the resolution says, when the farm
ers are realizing the goal for which
they have been striving. With such
sweeping reductions as proposed on
agricultural products, the resolution
declares practically all of the benefits
now obtained will be nullified.
Injurious and disastrous" are the
terms applied in the resolution to

calls on Minnesota representatives
