An Angry Tree.

In Idaho is species of the acacia
tree that a writer in Harper's Week
" says is entitled to be classed as one
of the wonders of plant life. The
tree attains a height of about eight
feet. When full grown, it closes its
leaves together in coils each day at
sunset. When the tree has thus set
tied itself for its nights sleep it will
hutter violently if touched. and if
the branches be shaken a nauseating
odor strong enough to bring on a
headache will be emitted.
In Idaho it is called the angry
tree" and it is said that it was dis
covered by some men who were
making a camp for the night and
placed one end of a canvas covering
over one of its sensitive branches to
use it as support. Immediately
the tree began to jerk it's branches
sharply. The motion continued with
increased nervousness" until at
last there came a sickening odor
that drove the tired men to more
hospitable camping-place.

What q Hen Can Earn q Year.

At the conclusion of an article on
The Poultry Business" in the cur
rent issue of Farm and Fireside, ap-
pears the following:
The four corner-stones upon
which the success of the poultry
business depends are: (1) suitable
buildings properly located, (2) the
right foods skilfully fed. 90 good
fowls carefully bred, (4) facility and
ability to hatch and rear chickens.
If any one is willing to employ
some common sense, there is no rea-
son why he should not be able to
clear 5000 over feed expenses from
100 layers. A good many are doing
much better"

He dearly loves to frequent the

Every time he leaves the swill
