A Wandering Scots TribuIations.

A Glasgow man who recently took
up residence in London, says the Gas
gov News. selected from the people
answering his advertisement for rooms
a landlady boasting the name OF Mac
kay. That name, even without the
lady's protestations. convinced him
that he was going to a "home from
home" On arriving, his pleasurable
anticipation was increased when he
was informed that 1t was taken for
granted he would have porridge for
breakfast He was astounded. how
ever, to find the oatmeal served cold
and solid and profusely sprinkled with
parsley. Something approaching a
scene occurred when he intimated to
the lady that he required the dish
brought hot and fresh and without veg
etable establishment. With a gesture
of despair she led him to the Kitchen.
where on the shelf was a row of bowls
containing his weekly supply of pars-
ley decorated porridge!

Our Musical Nerves.

Everybody who has been to the den
fists knows only too well that the
teeth have nerves connected with them.
These nerves lead to certain knots of
nerve tissue called ganglia, from which
also proceed other nerves that pass to
the auditory chambers OF the ear. IL
you grind your teeth ever SO slightly
you will find that you hear the sound
very distinctly. The vibrations caused
by grinding are conveyed to the audi
tory chamber, where series Of prya-
mid cells of varying lengths are 80 ar
ranged as to operate like keys of q
piano. These cells. each OF which re-
spends to a particular note, are con-
nected by nerve threads. like piano
wires, with the main nerve Of hearing
"a complex and beautiful arrangement
to which we owe our power to appre-
ciate the exquisite harmonies Of music.

DESTRUCTIVE APPLE BLOTCH.
Disease That Costs Thousands of Dol

Disease That Costs Thousands of DOL
lars to Fruit Growers Each Year.
Apple blotch is the most destructive
fruit disease in Kansas. causing thou
sands Of dollars loss every year. 1t
can be almost entirely prevented on
fruit the first year. even in badly in
tested orchards. says d. e. Lewis, who
is assistant in horticulture at the Kan
sas Agricultural college at Manhattan.

1t is impossible to control blotch aft
er II has gained entrance to the fruit.
No blotch can be seen at the time of
the first spraying, but If the spores are
present on the twigs I'm cankers 1t
means you will have blotch on the
fruit unless 1t is sprayed. Blotch Is not
visible to the naked eye for two or
three weeks after 1t has entered the
fruit.
The solution used in spraying for
this fungous disease Is bordeaux MIX

Printing unpopuIar In Persia.

Type printing is unpopular in Per-
STA. The straightness of the lines Of
tends the Persian's artistic sense, and
he feels that in printed books the char
acter of the letters is lost. Persia Is
today entirely dependent upon lithog-
raphy for its own production of books.
Naturally these are very rare. At the
beginning of the nineteenth century
press with movable types was set up in
Tabriz. and certain number of books
were printed. The effort met with no
encouragement, however, and had
shortly to be abandoned. The same
taste which makes a Persian esteem
so. highly the great calligraphists
makes him deplore the absence OF
character in type printed book.
What most delights him is well writ
ten manuscript and he takes the same
delight in the copyists work that we
take in an old master. Failing this, he
contents himself with Il Autograph,
which is usually facsimile OF the
writing of some fairly good scribe.

MAKING
FARM
'-....-e.....-.Ooo

DERSONS operating land for profit
- need to study such questions
as these:
What commodities are easiest
to produce and sell in nearby markctsE
TO what line of production is the soil
best adapted?
Suppose there are good cash markets
close at hand, which crops or products
pay the best?
What line of produce will distribute
the labor most evenly through the year!
A practical arrangement is to keep
one hired man for every dozen dairy
cows and to have such diversity of
work summer and winter as will keep
the help profitably employed through
the day as we'll as at milking time. A
good poultry plant balances the pro
gram nicely. Twenty-four cows are
none too many for a place OF fifty to
eighty acres. 1t is not the best kind of
farming to allow cattle to roam at will
in q large pasture 1t is more profitable
to give them merely few acres of
range that may afford pasture through
May and June and depend on the cult
waited land to raise most of their fod-
der.
AS rule pastures become dry In
midsummer and the supply of milk can
not be kept up without silage, hay or
soiling crops. BY the LIST Of July
farmer should have vetch, alfalfa or
combination like oats and peas. An ex-
cellent kind of summer feed is pro-
duced by sowing rye and clover In the
fall This can be cut for hay In June.
There ought to be corn silage all the
year round for any kind of cattle. but
particularly for dairy animals.
With q well managed little dairy like
this the owner can clear 800 to $3.50
month above the cost Of labor and
the rental value of the land. The prod
uce may be handled I'm the form of
cream and butter, and this system
leaves large supply of skinned milk
for pigs and poultry. The dairy should
clear at the least $1,000 a year, be-
sides paying all the wages and other
operating expenses. and 5000 ought to
be made In hogs and 5000 In poultry,
besides something from vegetables and
fruit

Starved Himself to Death.

Hunger strike records were broken
some years ago by Frenchman
named Granie, who was arrested for
murder in circumstances which left
no doubt as to his guilt. He determin-
ed to starve himself to death in order
to escape the guillotine and from the
day of his arrest refused to eat in
spite Of every effort on the part of the
prison authorities, who first tried
tempting him to eat by placing the
most dainty meals in his cell and when
that failed attempted forcible feeding.
CRANE held out for sixty-three days,
at the end of which time he died.

Chief of Police Gideon Chauvin
has requested us to state that the
police department of this city will
prosecute all boys doing damage to

THE BETTER FRUIT.

Y OOK up, not down upon the ground,
For there but windfalls may be
found.
- The fruit designed for man to eat
Is not that lying at your feet.
The kind which judgment bids US choose.
Unspotted, sound and free from bruise,
Lies not amid the trampled grass,
Where earthworms crawl and cattle pass
But swings upon the branches tall,
Beneath the sky's clear cobalt wall,
And that which is the nearest prime
Hangs high. Who wishes 1t must climb.
The trunk seems high: the bark Is rough.
Your hands will bruise. yes, like enough.
But he who makes excuse Of these
Must eat the fruit beneath the trees,
While others with a weaker grip
Will climb the trunk, nor even slip,
To find with every branch that's passed
The task Is easier than the last
And every bruise that is received
Forgotten In the prize achieved.
Reach forth your hands-heed not the
CRIME!
The prize is there! Look up and climbl
