is The KICK JUSTIFIED7

A reader Of these notes who is q
level headed and progressive farmer
offers this criticism against the work
and methods of the so called county
agricultural expert-namely, that his
efforts are far less valuable from the
standpoint of the average farmer be-
cause most of the experiments he con-
ducts are on so limited and intensive
scale that they cannot be carried out
in the same way on a quarter or half
section farm. Our friend contends that
If this same expert were to take entire
charge of a farm, assuming RESPONSE
bility for the planning of the work
and for the hundred and one details,
some of them often vexatious. and an
noying, and were to make a distinct
success Of it, an improvement over
what the owner is able to do, he
would then be in a position to tell the
average farmer how to farm. The
same thought is expressed by a Kan
sas farmer in the following language:
II am in favor Of progress and adj
vancement, but before we get into the
expert business too far l am in favor
of putting those experts on probation.
Give each one 100 acres of land, one
team, two cows, four sheep, provisions
for one year, and, if at the expiration
of five years he has kept out of the
poorhouse, paid his taxes. kept his
lodge dues paid and his preacher, let
the county in which he is located give
him job on the county experiment

THE CHRISTOPHER PEST.

In several sections of western states
grasshoppers have done great damage
within the past few weeks, and ento-
mologists connected with several mid
die state agricultural colleges have
warned farmers Of possible damage
from the pest in the coming weeks.
A spray that is said to be effective in
killing the grasshoppers is made by
mixing one pound of arsenate of lead
and two quarts Of cheap molasses and
diluting in sixty gallons Of water. This
should be applied to vegetation along
roadSideS and the edges of fields where
the grasshoppers may be abundant. A
dope which kills the grasshoppers
when they eat it is made by mixing
one pound of paris green in forty
pounds of bran and. adding enough wa
ter and molasses to make it a sticky
mass. This should be scattered in
small quantities at intervals of three
or four rods wherever the hoppers
are abundant. Another mixture equal
ly good is made by substituting fresh
horse manure in place Of bran on the
above recipe and adding salt.

TWO RECORD BREAKERS.

Professor Rice of the poultry depart
ment OF the State College of Agricul-
ture at Cornell university, New York.
has couple of hens Of which he may
well feel proud. One of these Cornell
Supreme, has laid eco eggs in a period
of three years, the highest sustained
production of which he has been able
to find any authentic record. These
eggs weighed S6.19 pounds, or more
than twenty-five times the weight of
the hen. Another hen. Cornell Sur
prise. has laid 5G2 eggs in the three
year period, a remarkable feature
about her performance being that she
laid more eggs each successive year,
her score for the three years being 100,
lS6 and 1876 eggs respectively. The
performance of these two hens leads
their owner to the conclusion that a
hen can sustain 4 high egg production
for period of at least three years and
that such a breed can be developed by
selection which will add greatly to the
value of the poultry business of the
country.

A Matter of Gender.

The bell of a Scottish church was
giving out very poor tone, and
committee was appointed to inquire
as to what was wrong and to report
on the best means Of putting it right.
After an examination the members
were divided in their opinion. and the
kirk officer, who was in attendance
with the keys. was asked his view.
Fine. A ken what's wrang wi the
bell" he remarked. It's a she-yin,"
meaning that it was of the feminine
gender. Pressed to explain. he added.
Its tongues owre lang-it's needin'
10 be clippit!' And this turned out
to be really the fault. The tongue had
become loosened to the extent of an
inch or so and was overlapping the
curve at the rim and therefore not
striking truly.

LOBSTER AND BUTTERFLY.
Widely Apart In Appearance, They Are
Close Relatives,

You would hardly think it to look at
them, yet the lobster is a relative of
the butterfly. The kinship is not mere
ly that of two members of the animal
kingdom. The lobster and the butter
fly are actually in one and the same
great group of the kingdom, like the
clam and the snail or the whale and
the giraffe, whose spheres of activity
are so widely separated.
1t is simply, as Darwin pointed out
in the case of all other creatures a
great many years ago, that the lobster
and its friends, the crab. the prawn
and the shrimp. chose one method OF
life, while the butterfly and its set
chose another.
So the first group developed charac-
teristics suited to the conditions in
which it lived, including as one of the
most important, as its members do
not move rapidly. a coat of armOE 70

FER0CI0US DOLPHINS.
Marine Monsters That Are Known a.
Whale Killers.


Whale Killers.
There really is such a sea monster
rs the whale killer. 1t is one of the
largest and most ferocious of all the
dolphin family. 1t also is known as
the grampus. 1t is characterized as a
genus by its large size and the conical
and depressed head, devoid of a beak.
The back fin is of great length, espe-
cially in the males, and the fippers are
large and broadly ovate.
The teeth are comparatively few
in number, varying from ten to thir-
teen on each side Of the jaw, and are
much larger than in any dolphins yet
noticed, being often an inch or more
in diameter and having an oval Sec
ton. The coloration is striking, the
upper parts and fins being black, while
the lower jaw, chest and under parts
are whitish.
The white area of the under parts
does not, however. extend to the iukes,
but ends posteriorly in a trident, of
which the lateral and shorter prongs
extend obliquely upward on the TANKS.
There is a large white streak above
and behind the eye, and frequently at
least purple crescentic area extends
across the back behind the fin. The
killer attains length Of at least twen-
ty feet.-St. Louis Times.

THE STREETS OF NAPLES.
They Are the Workshops of the People
In the Poorer Quarters.

th ZIG WIZ SddTtCTSs
The ancient city of Naples has al
ways been more celebrated for its
beauty and interest of its surroundings
than for its own attractiveness or
scenic advantages.
The charm of Naples itself lies in its
hfe-the careless, open air life Of its
people, with much of it passed al
most wholly out of doors under the
gaze Of the passerby. The Neapolitan
is the most buoyant. light hearted
creature in the world Nd. it must be
added, about the most indolent. The
streets are bright and moving pictures.
Many Of the people, men. women and
children-when these latter are not in
nocent Of any clothing-are CARRIED In
strange and somewhat gaudy costume,
with bright colored kerchiefs on their
heads.
In the poorer and more populeus
quarters all handicrafts and occupa-
lions are carried on out Of doors, and
the streets are as busy as beehives.
Tailors are seen at their work, and

articles. makers of statuary, women
sewing, cooking and performing all
their domestic duties, men, women and
children eating, sleeping, chattering,
playing, singing, all in the open. There
d no cessation to the noise and hustle
b the streets from early morning,
when the tinkle Of goat bells starts
the day, until the evening, when count
less mandolin players, wandering from
house to house, from trattoria to cafe,
singing for their supper Of macaroni
and red wine the famous old love
songs of Naples and popular operate
airs.
All day long the rattle of wheels, the
cracking Of whips, the furious shout
ing Of drivers, the Jingle of the elabo-
rately decorated harness, the cries Of
t1numerable street hawkers, the play
ing Of military ba2ds as regiments
march through the streets, fill the air
with not unpleasant and thoroughly

WHY SOME SUCCEED.

Success in most any line of agricul-
tural endeavor or in animal or poultry
husbandry is rarely due so much to
exceptional opportunity or especially
favorable environment or to unusual
ability on the part of the operator as
to the simple traits of persistence. ap-
plication to details and the use of a
fair measure of good sense and intel
ligence. Chiefly does it follow sticking
TO one thing, whatever the drawbacks
for the time being may be. Many peo-
pie make fizzle of their undertakings
by dropping an enterprise just as they
have got through the tiresome and ex-
perience getting stage. They take a
new tack and drop it at about the
same stage, and so on. The net result
is that they are most of their time
gaining experience at a high price,
from which they get little or no benefit.

The Perfect Laxative
For Elderly People

Age has its attractions no less than
youth in a more serene and Quieter life.
But it is this very life of rest without
sufficient exercise that brings with it
those disorders that arise from in
activity. Chief of these are a chronic,
persistent constipation
Most elderly people are troubled in
TINS way, with accompanying symptoms
headaches and general lassitude. Ere
quently there is difficulty of digesting
even light food. Much mental trouble
ensues, as it is hard to find a suitable
remedy. First of all the advice may be
given that elderly people should not use
salts, cathartic pills or powders, waters

tion leaders in the senate were jubi-
liant over the prospects of the tariff
bill They unhestatingly asserted
that the party was ready for har-
monious action and predicted that a
clear Democratic majority for the
measure as it comes from the caucus
will not be endangered.
Admitting that the situation in the
senate was anything but satisfactory
when the bill passed the house the
leaders now contend that prolonged
preliminary consideration of the
measure has brought about "an iron.
ing out of the rough places" in the
party alignment and that every de
velopment has been in favor of the
administration policies.
