PLANT BURIES ITS OFFSPRING
Peanut Has Most Effective Method of Protecting Them From
 Their Enemies.

Here's plant mother that buries her children to protect them. While the children of other plants are being kidnaped by animals and birds. these youngsters are carefully hidden away beneath the ground so they can grow in safety. But man won't permit the mother to keep her children long. He digs them up-and eats them The plant is the peanut
 Its leaves look like a four-leayed clover. It's blossoms are a dainty vel. low, shaped like those of the sweet pea. When they wither and fall of the mother plant begins to worry about her seed children, for if the birds and animals kidnap them before they ripen they won't have a chance to grow and produce more plants next year
 So she bends her stalks downward and each head where the flowers have fallen off she pokes into the ground There the little seeds develop inside of wrinkly, paperlike pods. Sometimes the little tunnelng moles find them and eat them, or maybe hogs will come and root them out. Usually, however they're safe from all marauders.
 America gave the world the peanut It was found first in Brazil. Since its commercial value was discovered il has been planted all over the world Since 1866 it has been a staple prod uct of southern United States.

TREAT DISTEMPER IN HORSES
Formula Given for Treatment of Old and Young Enthusiastically
 Avoid Constipation.

(By W. Y. SHULER,' Oklahoma Agri-
 cultural College)
 For the treatment of distemper in horses, have prepared this prescrip- tion and administer it in tablespoon. ful doses three times daily to the full grown animals and in teaspoonful doses twice daily to the colts: Pow dered nux vomica one part, powdered belladonna leaves one part, powdered chlorate of potash two parts, pow, dered colchicum root one part pine tar sufficient to make a pasty mass It may best be given by means of a little wooden paddle, with which the material can be placed on the back oi the tongue and it will there go direct. ly to the spine.
 In cases where abscesses have formed and broken they should be syringed cut with an antispetic solu. tion and painted with tincture of iodine. Be sure that the animals bowels are in good condition If there is any tendency to constipation admin. ister a suitable purgative, such as oil salts or aloes. In cases where the nose and throat seem to be especially affected, place the animal in a small stall, taking a gallon or two of boiling water, add to 1t half pint of carbolic acid, and tie the animal so that the head will be directly over the bucket This will give relief by the inhalation of carbolic acid vapors.

Turn to Painted GIass.

The Craftsmanship of the stained glass window must always remain conventional, and bound by it's own pc. culiar limitations; but the designer was seeking for a more plastic me. dium in which to express himself; and this he found in the invention of glass painting, or rather transparent enameling, which gave his pencil greater freedom, even though it could not hope to equal the asterpiects of color of the older style. Ana so stained glass proper yields place more and more to painted glass.
