BAD PRACTICE OF FARMERS
One Cannot Afford to Burn Corn
Stalks and Put Nothing Back In
Form of Humus.
(By B. e. SARA0


It always makes me feel sad to see
smoke arising from the burning corn
stalks In the field, because the farmer
is burning up his land and doesn't
know it. How can we expect to burn
up stock which the soil produces and
put nothing back in the way of humus.
and then hope to keep our soil in good
condition?
Maybe I'm wrong when say that
farmers do not know what they're do
ing, for doubtless some of them do
know that it is bad practice, but
burning stalks Is easier than disking
or cutting them up, and they are
nuisance to pillow them under Some
farmers say there is no benefit in
blowing under stalks. but / cannot
figure 1t out that way, because l do
not SEP how we can go robbing our
soil and keep up the fertility. It costs
very little to keep sheep and
flock OF so sheep Is worth money.

THOUSANDS OF DRAGON FLIES
Queer Sight Witnessed by a French
Naturalist While Making Tour
Through Morbihan.

A professor of zoology at Lille. M.
Charles Barrios, was making tour
through Morbihan, In France. AS he
was walking along the road he noticed
that multitude OF dragon flies were
alighting on the telegraph wires. The
singular thing about it was that they
all rested at an equal distance from
each other, and all occupied the same
position, with head turned toward the
west.
From all sides the dragon flies ar
rived and always placed themselves
in the same position, and at the same
distance from each other. They re-
manned as if glued to the wire, motion
less and paralyzed. Each new arrival
flew over the fixed bodies of the
others and took it's place in the line
This chain stretched itself out to-
ward the west, and turned toward the
setting sun. Professor Barrios fol-
lowed the route for long distance
and found the same strange phe-
nomenon. He estimated the number
at $4,000, at least. At an abrupt turn
of the road to the south, the telegraph
line turned also. There not a dragon
fly was in sight! The wire was abso-
1utely free from them! With the
change Of direction 1t seemed to have
lost attraction for them.
Was this chance? Did the electric
currents running from the east to the
west exercise any influence upon
these insects? Was it the solar re-
lection? Explain it, who can. In
any case 1t would be interesting to
know whether this phenomenon be an
isolated one or not.

Department Of Agriculture Devotes
Much Time Toward Solving Prob

For several years the United States
department Of agriculture has been
devoting great deal of time toward
solving one of the most important
questions before the American farmer
and fruit grower today. This is the
conservation of all products on the

ment experts in charge have been sent

INTERESTING BIT OF HISTORY

ton the work was delayed for a while.

AROUND THE HONEY MAKERS
All Falling or Slow Queens Should Be
Changed Promptly and Breed
Only From Very Best.

Comb honey that Is to be sent to
distant market should be shipped
before cold weather, since the combs
become extremely fragile when cold.
Change all falling or slow queens
promptly, and breed from the best
you can secure, thus raising the
standard of your stock step by step
and improving the average year by
year.
The young bees, Matched from Au-
gust on, constitute the colony to be
wintered, and for this reason it Is
wise to see that much brood Is ready,
even II you have to resort to stimu-
lative feeding.
AS rule bees cast a prime swarm
as soon as the first queen cell Is
sealed, unless prevented by bad
weather; therefore, the first young
queen may be expected to emerge on
the eighth day from the first swarm.
When the hives are well distribut-
ed in certain space, their inmates
can be more easily handled. 1t seems
to improve their disposition, especial
ly If there are some trees, shrubs, or
the like about 1t. Robbing Is not so
prevalent, either, and the absence OF
that always helps to make the bees

METALS DEARER THAN GOLD
Iridium, for Instance, Is Three Times

Gold is generally looked on as the
last word in costliness, but, as mat
ter of fact, there are more metals
dearer than gold than there are cheap
er. The number of known metals is
about seventy.
Iridium. for instance. of which big
find was made the other day in Aus
tria, is three times as expensive as
gold. Gold is worth nearly $40 an
ounce. Iridium is worth some $50.

down now.
Osmium is another metal much
dearer than gold. 1t costs about $50 an
ounce. 1t Is by far the heaviest of all
known substances, being more than %
times as heavy as water. If pennies
we're made of osmium it would tax
ones strength to carry the change Of
half dollar. This metal has the pc,
culiar property of being able to stand
without melting the most intense heat
known.
Palladium. about $40 an ounce, Is
just the reverse. 1t is quite easy to
make palladium vanish in steam. Be-
ing of white, silvery color. and I'M

DRlNKER is THE MARKED MAN

Evidence Of Widespread Change

In the British house of commons re-

"T"-meaning the teetotal exception

sailor wanting the grog ration who is
to be labeled. Over against his name
will be the mark "G"-meaning grog.
The position is thus reversed and the
drinker instead OF the abstainer will
be the marked man. The change is
not little significant. 1t is evidence
of widespread and salutary change
in the habits of the -seamen and the
views of his superiors.

GREATEST ENEMY OF CHICKS
That Which Causes More Loss Than
Anything Else 10 chlIIins--ver-
min 10 Next Important.

The greatest enemy OF the chick,
and that which causes more loss than
any other one cause, Is chilling; the
second enemy in importance because
of amount of loss is lice; both lice
and chilling are the indirect cause of
bowel troubles, because both sap the
vitality and life of the chick, making
it impossible for the little fellow to
resist the organisms of disease whcih
are always ready to attack it.
busting the setting hen helps, but
some lice are quite sure to escape,
and can later be found on the head
of the chick. Rub a little dab of lard
on top of the chuck's head, getting it
into the down thoroughly, and you
will get these; repeat the dose in a
week, and IL the hen is furnished q
good busting place, the lice are not
likely to give any more trouble; but
whenever you see a chick that seems
unhappy, eyes closed, droopy, look for
lice
The brood coops should be thor
oughly sprayed before using with some
coal-tar preparation, sheep dip, white
wash, or a mixture OF four parts coal
oil and one. part crude carbolic acid.
1t pays to be ahead, and that explains
why SO few Of us are making anything
on our poultry; we neglect these little
things; because Of neglect disease gets
the start of us, we become discouraged
because of the losses, and give up and
blame our luck, when all the bad luck
might have been prevented by little
careful preparation.
Give the checks clean place. all
the heat they can stand. keep them
free from vermin, and you can safely
count them before they are raised.
