Diversified Farming.

The farmers raise SO many crops, the
harvest season never stops. They're
always reaping oats or hay, or putting
winter wheat away; alfalfa helps to
pay their debts, and keep the world in
cigaretts, and they have corn and John
grass, and sorghum rape and garden
sass. Sc be the weather dry or wet,
some crop will be a good safe bet The
beans may shrivel in the heat, but
there'il be divers kinds of wheat; the
oats may languish in the rain, bat
there'n be lots of other grain. The
cookie burs may pine away, but there'H
be stacks of luscious hay. The West
ern farmers used to raise but little else
than yellow maize, and if their crop
they chance to lose, IN winter time they
ate their shoes. Crop failure meant a
famine them; the fields were full OF
hungry men. But now the corn may
die the death. may wither in the hot
winds breath and still the farmers tool
their cars, and smoke the crimson-band
cigars, and take TO town the shining
bones and buy peck of shining stones.

10 the mukhtears OF Bengal. 4 faw
years ego vakils obtained permission

suggested by yakils but as these would
have led to their being mistaken for
members of the bar, blue gowns were
siren them. Recently the pIeaders
asked that the privilege Of wearing
gowns should be extended to them ard
the necessary sanction was granted,
green being the color selected. Not to
be outdone the qukhtears are now
moving in the matter and the initia-

be allowed to wear gowns. The color
suggested is chocolate. The matter

ANTS ON THEIR WEDDING DAY
Time of Turmoil and Tragedy for
Many of the Small Creatures
of the Earth.

a recent epidemic of ants in differ
ent parts OF the country is really due
to the fact that the ants were cele-
brating their wedding day, remarks
the London Times. They were out on
their marriage flight and honeymoon.
Generally speaking. there are three
kinds of ants in this country-the
workers, the winged males, whose life
is a short and merry one; and the
young queens, who live in charge of
the queen mother. In the SUMNER,
when the weather is favorable, the
winged males and the young queens
leave the nest for the marriage
flight. The latter race away pursued
by the ardent wooers, who fall in
their thousands to enterprising swal-
lows. missing their way and dropping
to rest their tired wings on any OBJ
queen flies On. She is strong Of wing,
for her husband must be the best of
the crowd. The crowd Of pursuers
dwirdIe from myriads to thousands,
from thousands to hundreds, to dozens,
until at last only one is left.
That was the meaning Of the plague
Of ants It was the marriage festival,
and the winged ants we saw in our
gardens were the unlucky crowd Of
mourners left behind, trying to find
their way home. On~her return to
her new-chosen nest, the queen spends
the afternoon chewing OF her wings
These are now useless, seeing that
she must no more leave the ant-hill.
HencefoTwar5 ske spends her days
