Farm Advisers at Command.
The first few months OF

Hundreds of requests for the
services of the farm Advisers are
on file at the State Department
of Agriculture and these experts
on farming matters are now in
the field in various points of the
State.
The Department has carefully
selected its corps of Farm Advis-
ers who are practical men in their
particular lines and each one of
them has had years of expert
ence in actual farm management.
The services of these advisers are
offered to the farmers, dairymen,
poultrymen, gardners and fruit
growers of the State who need
help in planning their farm work
and wish to receive practical ad-
vice for the betterment of con-
ditions and crops.
Among the requests that have
been received at the Department
by Deputy Secretary of Agricul-
ture c. E. Carothers, who is in
charge of the work, are num-
bep from county superintendents
of schools, asking for night lee
lures in rural school houses. The
school authorities report a great
interest among the farmers in
night schools for the development
of agriculture and the experts
will give demonstrations in COM
munity work, breeding and
market gardening and all classes
of community buying and sell
ing.
The farmers desiring informa-
tion on soils, farm crops, dairy
ing, stock raising, poultry, drain
age, water supply, house SANTA
tian and household economics
should apply to the Department
of Agriculture at Harrisburg at
once. The service is entirely free
and the demand is great. Early
requests will be scheduled and
the work taken up with the farm
ers as soon as possible.

township, met with a serious ac-
cident last Saturday morning.
Having some logs to haul to
nearby sawmill he, with John
Garland, went to work at an
early hour. Mr.. Mellott stepped
on a log that he supposed was
lying solidly, but which turned
with him when he placed his
foot upon it, threw him violently
to the ground, and the log rolled
over Mr.. Mellott's body breaking
two ribs and tearing two others
loose from the spinal column.
Mr.. Mellott's wife, who has
not recovered from a serious at
tack of grip, had gone to the
Doctors for treatment and was
not at home at the time of the

MARCH HONOR ROLL.
Names Of New Subscribers and Others
Who Have Paid Subscription Dur.
ing the Past Month.

No, this is not the same list we
published last month. Just as
the first week in each month
shows the appearance of new
stars in the sky, and the reap
pearance of those you saw year
ago, so with the first week in
each month when the Honor Roll
is published, you see some names
for the first time, and others that
are reappearing after having
completed another journey of a
years duration. In fact, all of
these persons whosenamesap appear
in the Honor Roll this month re-
turned home at midnight last Fri
day after having had a long trip.
They started out just year be-
fore in the old airship Earth and
swung entirely around the sun,
being at one time (about the first
of lastOctober) more than 190mill-
ion miles from home (the starting
point.) The distance travelled in
the journey was aomething more
that Gil million miles, a speed of
something like 70 thousand miles
an hour, and, strange to say they
were not pulled once for exceed
ing the speed limit.
The old ship is due to sail on
the first day of May, and all of
our subscribers who do not have
a a or a 5 on their label, will be
welcome to join the party; those
who have a 7 on the tab will
have reserved seats, and those
who have an "S" will be enti-
tied to Pullman service.
Yes there is plenty of time to
have your label changed before
that time, but do not delay too
long.

Huao's Practical Side.

1t may not be generally known
that Victor Hugo used to draft the
advertisements of his own books, in
stead of leaving the task to his pub
fishers. His correspondence with
his Belgian publishers gives the fol-
lowing example of the great novel
lists advertising style: CATER the
middle ages, the present time: Such
is the subject of Victor Hugo's dou-
bic study. What he did for Gothic
art in rNotre Dame de Paris that
be has done for the modern world
in les Miserables.' The two books
figure in his scheme of work as two
mirrors rejecting the whole human
life" An encouraging example to
those young authors who cannot
make up their minds how. much
modesty is enjoyed by the best hit
erary traditions.-London Globe.

Wheels.

The earliest mention of wheels in
the Bible is in Exodus xiv. 25, when
the chariot wheels of the Egyptians
were taken off by the Lord. But
chariots are mentioned in Genesis
xii, 43. But there we're older ma
tions than the Egyptians. The
Chaldeans used chariots, and the
Greeks-Homer's poems date from
about 900 B. Chad chariots at
the siege of Troy, 1900 B. c. Prob
ably in reality the wheel is about
as early piece of machinery as any
now existing. Of course it has been
developed, but the wheel of today is
a lineal descendant of the section
of log of wood used by the agri-
cultural peoples thousands of years
ago.

TeakWood.

Teakwood is used in India for
general purr in house and ship
building, for bridges, railway sleep
ers, furniture and shingles. 1t is
also used much for carving, the
Burmese carved teak being especial
ly noted.
Teak has in the past been used
to some extent for gun carriages,
but it is not at present considered
well adapted for this purpose. as it
has been found that it splits too
readily to be thoroughly valuable IN
artillery work.
Teak is strongly and character
istically scented, is of oily texture,
and the surface feels greasy to the
touch. Teak logs when first cut
will not float. The wood darkens
with age, and after number OF
years becomes almost black.

MYSTERIES OF EXISTENCE.
Consider the Case of the Apple, the Po-
tato and the Sponge.

tato snc the sponge.
There is life here on this earth
that Is immortal, that never dies, so
biologists tell lis. \ book by Pro-
feSscr C. VI. Child of the University
of Chicago tells of observations and
experiments of the immortal life of
sponges, potatoes and apples.
Take the potato, for instance.
You wish to grow a new crop of po-
tatoes, and you do not plant seed !;
you simply split the living potato,
you divide its substance and place
the different pieces Of itself into
different holes in the earth, and the
living potato becomes its own an
cestor. The potato you eat today
at dinner may be a part of the very
potato your great-grandfather ate
100 years ago.
And so with the apple. 1t is per-
petuated by grating a piece of the
tree upon Seeding, and that graft
ed twig, a part of the very body Of
the parent tree, grows on into a
large tree, and limb Of it, again,
is grated on to another Seeding,
and so on and on for limitless thou
sands of years, the original tree liv-
ing always.
The sponge cell splits itself in
two and grows two sponges instead
of one, and those two redivide again
and produce four sponges.
The biologists scraped a small
sponge from a wooden pile of Mar
ragansett Pier, cut it into small
pieces, squeezed the sponge cells
from each piece. strained them
through fine cloth and put them all
into a basin of water. Within an
hour the minute cells had collected
themselves together again and be-
gan Immediately to build an entire
ly new sponge like the mother
sponge, of which they were original
ly a part.
These and kindred facts, as they
are accumulated, may throw light
on the great mysteries of life and
death. Just how it is impossible to
see. But the great discoveries have
followed the painstaking collecting
and comparing Of facts that in
themselves seemed unrelated and
often trivial.

Language Puzzles.

Not alone are the so called Maya
inscriptions, found on the ruins in
Yucatan, puzzle to scientists, for
those two great nations, the Etrus.
cans and the Hittites, went out OF
the world leaving archaeologists in
a maze. The Etruscans occupied a
part of Italy corresponding roughly
to what is now known as Tuscany.
The Hittites at one time occupied
a part of Palestine and united with
the Canaanites to resist the inva-
sion by the Israelites under Joshua.
The Etruscan and Hittite inscrlp-
tions have thus far resisted the at
Temps of scholars to decipher them.

The Storage Battery.

The correct technical term for
the fluid in a storage battery, which
is often called acid, is electrolyte.
This fluid is mixture of four and
a half parts by volume of distilled
water to one part of pure concen-
trated sulphuric acid. Should it be-
come necessary to replace it on ac-
count of loss by spilling or leakage
the strength above indicated should
be used, but evaporation loss should
be made up with a more dilute acid,
consisting Of ten parts of water to
one of pure concentrated sulphuric
acid.

HINDU ETIQUETTE.
Husband and Wife Never Mention
Each Other to Friends.

You can never tell what is man
ners and what isn't in India. When
a woman wants to be very polite to
a man she turns her back on him.
1t fatters any Hindu man to have
pretty woman plainly and ostenta-
tiously turn her back on him.
Between husband and wife there
is a queer system of etiquette.
Whatever happens, a Hindu wife
must never mention her husband by
name. When she goes to call on her
neighbor lightly chatting the after
noon through, comparing notes on
the latest nose rings and the best
way to stain the fingers with the
fashionable henna, she must never
let the conversation swing around
so that she will have to mention her
husband. If she should 60 so far
as to forget herself and mention
her lord and master to her shocked
companion her hostess would soon
yawn and explain that she had to
60 and put the bread in.
However, she can talk about her
children all she wants to; there is
nothing in the Hindu etiquette
book against that. She can tell
what funny thing Jamjiji said the
other night at the supper table,
how much he helps her around the
house and delicately hint how much
brighter he is than the other chill
dren in the neighborhood, but she
must never under any circumstances
mention his father.
Even stricter social rules govern
the men. One Hindu man must
never ask another Hindu man how
his wife is getting along. That
would brand the man as not having
the slightest idea what drawing
room usage was. All the men at
the club would shun him. No one
would dare to ask him to come over
to the table and have a grape juice
for fear right before everybody he
might ask how his wife was.
When a Hindu goes to call it is
not good manners to leave until the
host gets up and tells him to CO.

Death Valley.

Death valley is a narrow valley
between the Panamint and Funeral
mountains in California. 1t is trav-
ersed by the Amargoso river, which
is usually a dry channel, though
probably it was formerly full of wa
ter. The level of the valley is cov-
cred with salt, supposed to have
been brought by the torrents from
the surrounding desert and left on
the evaporation of the water: Death
valley is considered to be the hot
test and driest place in the United
States. A temperature of 122 de-
grees has been observed.

TRAGEDY of a Diary.

The author of 'Leaves From a
Garden" tells a story which is at
once study in feminine revenge
and warning against the keeping
of diaries, A girl had made at the
instigation of her parents what
seemed 10 be a happy match. But
she died, and her diary, found after
her death, contained a record Of
such suffering that her mothers
mind was unbalanced by the read
ing. The husband married again,
and by way of a wedding present to
the second bride the mother of the
first sent-the diary!

ed to him with, F1s yo' all shore yo'
loves muh?" "Co'se rs shore!'
was the indignant response. There
followed a moment of silence, dur
inc which the washerwoman attack
ed her wash with renewed vigor.
Then, pausing an instant in her
work, she added suspiciously, 'You

AGE of q Whale.

The age of whale is told by the
size and number of laminae of or
gans in the mouth, formed of a
horny substance known as whale
bone. These laminae increase in
size and number each year. Accord
ing to scientists who compute the
age in this manner, many whales
have been captured which were
more than 400 years old.-St. Louis
