FLOWERS HOURS OF SLEEP
That They Differ is Proof OF shs
Adaptablity Of Everything
in Nature.

That flowers sleep is evident to the
most casual observer. The beautiful
daisy opens at sunrise and closes at
sunset. whence its name days eye.
The morning glory opens its flower
with the day. The -four o'clock"
awakes at four o'clock in the morning,
but closes its eyes in the middle OF the
day, and the dandelion is in full bloom
only while there is strong light. The
habit of some flowers is certainly curl
Gus, and furnishes one of the many
instances which prove the singular
adaptability of everything in nature.
The reason is found in the method by
which this class of flowers is fertilized.
Flowers which are fortified by
night flying insects derive no advon-
tage from being open by day; and, on
the other hand, those which are fer
tilted by bees would gain nothing by
being open at night. Nay, it would be
q disadvantage, because it would rem
der them liable to be robbed of their
honey and pollen by insects which are
incapable of fertilizing them. I: 10
possible, then, that the closing OK now
ers may have reference to the habit OF
insects, and ii may be observed also.
In support of this, that unidentified
flowers never sleep.

NECESSARY TO KEEP BOOKS
Without Accurate Accounts No Form
of Business Can Be Successfully
Carried On.

Accountancy which Is the science
Of systematizing business, has his
tory that runs back at least LOCO
years Very early in the development
of nations it was found that in com
merce as well AS in the affairs of state,
systematic and careful account-keep-
ing were indispensable. These syS-
tens were, at first, crude and labori-
Gus. but they at least kept the finances
of the nation and the marts Of trade
from being chaotic.
The invention of double entry book
keeping early in the fifteenth century
by the merchants and bankers OF Ven
ice gave to the commerce Of Europe an
invaluable trade instrument, and one
without which the great commercial
ENTERPRISES of the later centuries could
hardly have existed.
And so it has been on down to the
present time; there has been parallel
progress between the accomplishments
OF commerce and the science Of &C
counting, and it is known to every man
In business that the former could not
continue without the latter. Even the
most unbusinessike people know this
much, and we can hardly imagine any
one silly enough to attempt to carry
on any kind Of business enterprise
without keeping books.
Bookkeeping, as formal subject OF
study, is taught in most of the public
and private schools of this country,
but it is only that form of bookkeeping
that applies to the affairs of the mer-
chant or the shopkeeper The public
has yet to learn that bookkeeping Is
quite as necessary to the prosperity OF
the wageworker, the salaried man, the
farmer and the housekeeper as it is TO
the shopkeeper, the merchant or the
manufacturer-EXc

POULTRY MUST HAVE
GOOD WATER SUPPL

Water is very important part OF
the ration required by poultry, say
the poultry specialists, Extension Di
vision, Louisiana State University
The body of an average hen contains
about Sc per cent water. An egg is
about IS per cent water. All feed
consumed by the hens must be soft
ened by water to prepare it for the
digestive process Blood is composed
very largely of water which serves to
carry red and white cOrpuscles to
the different parts Of the body nour-
ishing the needy tissues and eliminat-
ing waste products. Water is just
as important, and just as valuable as
feed in maintaing the body health
Of the hen, and factor in the
maximum production Of eggs.
Supplying water once or twice a
day Is not sufficient, especially IN
summer when water not only
serves the aforementioned purposes,
but when 1t is also utilized to lower
the body temperature Of the hen.
This is done by system OF evapora'
ton through the breathing organs.
and this is why hens are so often
seen with their mouths open and
breathing rapidly on hot day. The
faster they breathe, the more rapid
the evaporation through the lungs,
and thus the lower the body tempera'
ture. Water, in pure, fresh condt
ton. should be available at all times,
The average flock of 100 hens will
use about FIVE gallons Of water daily
through the hot weather. Consider
ing both the present prices of feed
and the relative value of feed and
water in the ration, water has feed
ing value of about twenty cents pei
gallon. With water costing practical
ly nothing, there is no excuse for any
person neglecting this very import
ant factor.

SPECIALISTS IN HUMAN ILLS
Some More or Less Sage Reflections
on the Subject of Diseases and
Their Treatment

Dentists now cure rheumatism, dys.
pepsia, kidney troubles, sore eyes and
corns by pulling, filling or otherwise
maltreating the teeth. Stomach spe-
cialists relieve toothache by treating
the digestion. Headaches have moth
ing to do with the head, except to
make it hurt the seat Of their opera
tons is In the stomach or liver. The
whole body seems to be merely sys-
TEN of interlocking directorates, the
Philadelphia Ledger comments.
Why, then, one is inclined to ask, do
we have specialists? If the functions
of the body, instead of being a system
of such complete entanglements and
inter-relations from head to foot, were
really divided up into watertight com
partments, then specialistic treatment
would indeed be indicated. In that
case each specialist would have his
own compartment to look after, with
a sign upon the membrane which
marks the entrance to his domain.
''Trespassers will be prosecuted" But
what are you going to do with body
in which nephritis is directly caused by
an liberated tooth which the dentist
hasn't discovered, and the legs swell
up and become useless because there
is an INDICATED intestinal kink? 1t
would really seem that before a man
is fitted to operate as a specialist on
any part of the body he must have
specialized a while over every other
part of it-so that the East side doc
tors sign, Specialist in All Diseases"
need not be regarded as so absurd
after all. The first qualification Of a
good specialist is to be an all-around
physician.
But at present the dentist has the
advantage over all other specialists.
Give him chance to pull out every
tooth in your head and you will be de-
livered forever from Bright's disease,
rheumatism. pleurisy, liver complaint,
neuritis, pyelitis, and virtually every
other kind of disease. But what will
the dentist do when he has drawn
everybody's teeth?

Blind Horses.

The manner in which blind horses
get about without coming to more
harm than they do is remarkable.
They rarely, If ever, hit their heads
against a fence or stone wall, and
will sheer off when they come near
one 1t appears from careful obser-
walton that 1t is neither shade nor
shelter which warns them of the dan
ger. On an absolutely sunless and
MINDLESS day their behavior is the
same Their Olfactory nerves doubt
less become very sensitive, for they
will poke their heads downward in
search Of water fifty yards before they
come to stream crossing the road
way.
1t cannot be an abnormally devel-
oped sense of hearing which leads
them to do this, for they will act alike
though the water be a stagnant pool.
Men who have been blind for any
great length of time develop some
what similar instincts to blind horses.

HORSES ACT THROUGH
INSTINCT And HABIT
THEIR FUTURE VALUE DEPENDS
ON THE WAY THE COLT
10 BROKEN
GOOD TREATMENT PAYS
Uniformity OF Conduct Is One Of the
Chief Characteristics Of the
Horse-Habits Formed
Early.

The future value and usefulness OF
the horse depends very largely on the
way the colt is broken, according tC
Farmers Bulletin SGT, issued by the
United States Department of Agricul
ture. BY a broken colt is meant one
that is safe to handle in the stable Oh
on the road and that will promptly
obey the orders of the driver or rider
Memory and habit are the two main
factors with which we have to deal IN
training horses. A horse acts through
instinct and habit, and one OF its
greatest characteristics is uniformlt!
of conduct. What horse is once
trained to do he will nearly always
do under like conditions.
The first thing in training horse
is to get his attention. The second Is
to make him understand what is want
ed The education of the horse Is
based on reward and punishment. The
reward, a pat on the neck, etc, should
Immediately follow the act of obedi
ence. The punishment, to be effective
must Immediately follow the act OF
disobedience.
Few horses are inherently vicious
Many horses are made vicious and I'M
relia BILE by the carelessness or unneces'
sary brutality of their trainers. Ii a
horse kicks because the harness hurts
him, or SHES at something of which
he is afraid, punishment is not justifi'
able. If, however, after being stopped
q horse starts before receiving the
command to do so, he should be pun.
ished. Horses are naturally obedient,
and when thoroughly trained theiI
conduct is uniformly good.
A horse should be trained so that
he thinks there is no limit to his power
to do the things required Of him, and
believe that he has no power to dc
that which is against the wishes of his
driver Above all, never ask of q
horse something he is unable to per
form and then punish him because il
can not be done. If, during the first
only to loads that he can pull he will
develop into a good work horse, while
If he is overloaded few times he may
become baIky and worthless
All horses can not be treated alike
A high-strung, sensitive horse must
be treated gently the dullard sharply
The same force applied to the sensitive
horse that is necessary to make the
slow horses obey would cause the high
strung horse to rebel, while gentle
ness would obtain obedience
