been won or lost. the score WAS 10 2
for Augusta, and Winthrop had failed
tc score for two innings.
The head of the batting list came up.
G. Maxwell hit pretty single out into

down a pretty bunt and beat ii out to
first An error by Harvey put Bell on
first and filed the bases. Fuller hit 1t
out into center field for a home run,
Maxwell, Fortier and Bell scoring.
1t had been an exciting contest. De-

POETRY IN PAGAN LEGEND
According to This, Woman is Made
Up of a Compound Of Many
Contradictory Things.

"Our fable of the creation of wom-
an is more poetical than your Chris
tian one, which forms woman out OF
a mans rib" said Hindu. Listen,
and see if you don't agree with me-
"Twashtri, at the beginning OF time,
created the universe and man, but
when he came to create woman he
found that he had exhausted his ma
terials and no solid elements re-
NAMED.
"Twashtri mused a while. Then an
idea came to him, and in order to
make the first woman he took moon
light and the undulations Of the SER
pent, the slenderness Of reeds and.
the soft movement in the wind, the,
tears of a raincloud, the velvet OF
flower petals, the grace of roe, the
tremor of grasses, the vanity of the
peacock, the softness Of the down on
a doves breast, the hardness Of dia-
monds and the sweetness of honey,
the cruelty of the tiger and the
warmth of fire, the cold Of snow, the
chatter of a jay and the coo Of a
dove-and out of these things Twash-
tri created woman"

Glass Over PAINTINGS,

Yielding to the criticism of artists
and art experts, the authorities at
the galleries of the Louvre have re-
moved the glass that covered and was
supposed to protect some famous pic
lures. A few, however, are yet in
closed in glass, and among these are
PAntiope of Correggio, the Laura d.
anti of Titan and the Concert Cham
petre of Giorgio. 1t is held that for
all purposes Of art, for study, for
admiration, the canvasses should be
naked, as under glass all the fine quail
tiles of these great paintings are lost
Examination of the paintings from
which the glass has been removed
shows that number of them, among
which is Titian's famous Man With
the Torn Glove, have been injured by
moisture that formed under the glass;
others are the Antiope Of Correggio.
the Country Concert Of Giorgio and
the Virgin on the Rocks, of Leonardo
da Vinci. "All these deteriorations,"
says a critic, have been wothout
doubt accelerated by moisture inclosed
by glass;"

Lever Releasing All Stanchions.

pen. One of the things that Is very
useful is a lever at the end Of each
stanchion row that will unfasten all
of the COWS in that row at once.
There are 20 COWS on one side and 15
on the other, and the levers are near
the door where one could get at them
even though there were quite blaze
inside.
The drawing shows how these lev
ers are fastened to the stanchions to
open them all at once. Instead of one
timber at the top there are two. The
uppermost, c, Is 2x4 that moves on
top of the other. This 2x4 has Sits
In it in which the stanchion timbers
are moved. The lever, d, at the end is
attached to and will either open or
close all Of the stanchions at once.
To prevent accidents, the lever is
fastened with a wooden pin, either
open or shut as the case may be.
Besides being a good thing in case
Of fire, 1t is very handy in everyday
use. When I am ready to let the COWS
out I open the stanchions all at once.
When the COWS come in, they take
their proper places, and when they
are quietly eating their silage the
lever is operated and they are all
fastened at one time.

SAN JOSE SCALE is PRIMARILY A PEST
OF PEAR, PEACH AND OTHER FRUIT TREES:
Extremely important That Grower Should Know Just Which Plants
Are Most Likely to Be Attacked by Little lnsect-Some
Serious Mistakes Made. >..

must then be examined to see If IT
is caused by true scale-insect, for
there are certain unimportant diseases
which may have similar effect. If
the little gray, Circular scale Is found
In the center of the spot, and IL the
scale Is readily removed by scraping
gently with a knife blade or the
finger nail, then you may be pretty
sure 1t Is San Jose scale, and should
at once send specimens to your state
entomologist and find out.
Turn one Of the scales over gently
with the point of a Knife. If it is one
of the large full-grown scales the
insect may as likely be dead as alive
under it, for the scale adheres long
after the insect is dead. If the insect
Is alive 1t will be seen as little, vel
low object, slightly egg shaped, but
more pointed at one end, and slightly
fattened. Indeed, 1t has been well
described as resembling tiny bit of
cheese or yellow butter. Press the
body with the point of the knife or
pin and it is easily crushed, VI" ding
a tiny bit of yellowish, oily liquid. II,
on the other hand, the insect Is dead,
the dried body will likely be found
simply as thin yellowish-brown par
ticle under the scale.
The San Jose scale Is not capable
of living and thriving on all kinds OF
plants, and it is extremely important
that the grower should know which
ones are most liable to attack. 1t Is
primarily a pest of orchard trees and
it is an exception, rather than the
rule, to find it on any other. or the
orchard fruits, peaches, plums, apples,
pears, and cherries seem to be worst
attacked and die most readily In the
order nomed. Certain varieties, es-
pecially Of pears, seem to show con-
siderable resistance, the Keiffer, Le-
conte, and CARRIER seeming to be less
attacked than others, though by no
means exempt. Sour cherries are also
resistant.
Forest and shade trees are very
seldom infested with the San Jose
in harboring or spreading Infection.
Growers sometimes make serious and
ridiculous mistakes on this point and
give up hope because they imagine
that the scale Is in the woods or
they try to destroy the forests which
they suspect, or spend hours in a
fruitless search for it on the forest or
shade trees, and then, when they find
a scale (Which is some other species
in nine cases out Of ten) they think
that they have surely found 1t.
Let us repeat, then, with greater
emphasis, that: the San Jose scale Is
primarily a pest Of orchard fruit
trees; 1t may also occur, but less fire.

Pianoia Within Rat.

The wonders of science will never
cease. Paris has received delicate
Jolt by the exhibition Of rat which
carries around a pianola in it's inter
nal organism. A touch of it's tail pro-
duces airs from the operas. M.
Bertrand Lebaudy, the French ZOO
logical expert and sayant discovered
that the ribs of the rat give out
rhythmic tones when properly tickled.
Making experiments, he found that
these tones could be regulated by
nerve pressure from an electric bat
terry. The nerves of rat lead to its
sensitive tail, which does many duties
besides acting as whisk broom in rat
land. He tanned a fine specimen of
the regular Partisan rodent, got 1t so
that it would answer to his least CON-
mand, fed it on a special diet and
then charged it's nerves from an elec-
trio battery. The rat became exceed
ingly sensitive and the notes from its
body when tweaked by the tail quite
audible. This story did not originate
in Winsted, Conn, but came from a
Paris correspondent.

GOOD WORD FOR THE WASP
In Industry He Is on Par With the
Bee, Though Not of So Much
Value to World.

Wasps appear to be well-nigh as in
dustrious as ants or bees. One au-
thority has declared that the cardinal
doctrine Of wasps is: eff any wasp will
not work, neither shall he eat" DiV1-
sion of labor is clearly seen in the
wasp's nest. Some of the workers seem
to be specially employed as foragers
and soldiers, others appear to be told
off as nurses and guardians, while yet
others are engaged as papermakers
and masons. Wasps are at all times
particularly fond of honey. Toward
the end of summer, as all beekeepers
know, they will force their way into
beehives and carry off by force as
much as they can gorge Of their wing
ed neighbors' honey. The drones of
the wasp world, instead Of being Idle
and luxurious, are sober, industrious
and well-behaved members of the COM
munity. They clean the streets OF
their town with exemplary diligence,
acting as public scavengers and sani-
tary officers. And they have their re-
ward, for, unlike the bee drones, they
live their allotted life in peace and
quietness until winter involves them
and their maiden sisters in one COM
mon cataclysm of death and destruc-
tion.-Harper's Weekly.

DRIED GRAINS TO DAIRY cow
Really More Valuable, Pound for
Pound, Than Bran-Anlmals
Should Have Oat Straw.

It is our opinion that the dried
grains are really more valuable,
pound for pound, as feed stuff,
than the bran, and yet for the sake
Of variety, as well as for other pur-
poses, we should hardly go to the
extent of using grains exclusively,
says writer in an exchange. On the
contrary, we think 1t would be bet
ter to mix the grains and the bran
il equal parts by weight. This mix
ture would carry about 16 per cent.
of protein, and, when fed in connec-
ton with good corn silage, corn sto-
yer and oat straw would make very
good ration indeed. If the amount
Of silage on hand will justify feeding
80 literally we suggest the use of 40
pounds of it daily, and in connection
five pounds Of alfalfa hay as long
as it will last. Ten pounds Of the mix
ture Of grains and bran, fed in connec-
ton, would be quite sufficient for the
production Of 40 pounds of milk, and
five pounds will probably suffice for
the production of rs pounds of milk;
for amounts between 25 and 40 feed
in about the same proportion.
In addition to the foregoing, give
the COWS all the oat straw or stover
they will care to eat.

MarshmalloWs.

In a mountain camp this summer
the cream ran short. The campers
simply couldn't get 1t. They didn't
even have the canned variety. A
box of marshmallows was on the
table when the campers sat down to
lunch and one of the women looking
into her cup of chocolate minus
cream, began to eat a mallow. 1t
didn't exactly go to the spot. Neither
did the watery chocolate. In disgust
she put the two together. The marsh
mallow went floating in the cup of
chocolate, when, presto! there was
something white and foaming! There
was cream! Necessity and accident
are indeed the mother and the father

before their lunch was over that
marshmallows take the place OF
cream. They do! They do indeed!
