Floating Islands.

Natural floating islands sometimes
are seen In the Mississippi and other
rivers, and In lakes, occasionally be-
ing Of sufficient size to serve as pas
lures. They are formed of earth
which is held together in a compact
form by roots interlacing, and they
float because they are not heavy
enough nor sufficiently waterlogged to
sink. They have their origin in river
banks which have been torn away and
carried down steam by powerful
current, and sometimes trees remain
growing on these islands. Artificial
floating islands are made by taking
RATS of wickerwOrk, covering them
with reeds, and then placing lake mud
on top. They are used by some Of
the natives Of India, Persia and
Thibet to grow cucumbers, melons
and other plants which require a lot
Of water. Artificial islands Of this
nature at one time were used In the
waters about Mexico.

MOSQUITOES

Do both male and female mos
quitoes bite?
No. The female bites, 1t is doubt
Fless if the male ever bites.
Can you describe the head of a
mosquito?
All mosquitoes have a bill and two
palpi (pal-pee), which lie close to it,
one on each side. Outside the palpi
are t&o antehnae (an-ten-hay) which
spread apart. The atennae of the
male are plume-like. Those of the
female are not.
How can you tell the male from the
female?
8 The male has "plumes on his head"
How can you tell the Anopheles,
malaria bearing, mosquitoes from the
EuleX and other kinds in the United
States which do not convey malaria ?
One way is by their heads. Ano-
pheles have straight bills and palpi
nearly as long as their bills. The
female of the other kinds have short
palpi, except one kind, which has a
curved bill. The males of both Culex
and Anopheles have long palpi, and
one can not tell the species of the
!males in this way.
! Are there any other differences ?
The malarial mosquito is slight
and graceful The wings are gem
orally spotted or dusky.
Is there any difference to note
Yes. The way of resting on a wall.
Anopheles rests in a straight line,
frequently standing on her head The
Others rest bumped up' This is
the only way that can be used to tell
the live mosquito and is the one
usually used in practice.
Can you tell something of her
habits while feeding-on man,
mean?
She rarely bites in the daytime in
the United States. The day mos
quito Of the South is Aedes Cor
Stegomyia) calopus-the yellow fever
mosquito. Anopheles is shy and
easily driven off, and will rarely bite
Aone who is moving about, hence is
most apt to bite one who is asleep.
Her bite is less painful than that Of
other mosquitoes and she does not
sing so loudly. On this account, when
mosquitoes are much complained of,
Nhey are really Anopheles, and there
can be many Anopheles about without
much complaint.

cULLING PULLErs

The only eulling Of pullets is to
take out any that show physical ills,
such as crooked backs, tails. legs or
beaks, less Of an eye, stunted growth,
slow feathering or development, says
Kate NJ. Wells, poultry specialist, Ex-
tension service, University Of Ten
nessee. The pullets YOU put in the
winter laying houses should be as
physically perfect as possible.
Great care should be taken from
now on to see that the pullets are
growing and developing SO that they
will be ready to lay by the first of
November. If they seem small and
undeveloped they should be fed good
dry mash that contains meat scraps;
or if they have all the sour milk or
buttermilk they can eat the meat
scraps may be left out of the mash
This must be kept before them at all
times and some grain fed night and
morning. 1t is good feed and plenty
of it, with clean fresh water, that
viii bring the pullets to the right
growth and development for laying
by the first of November.
A very general farm practice is to
hold old hens over winter andNsell
them in April, when the price is a
little higher than in the fall and the
hens fatter. l believe we base this
practice on the old idea that hens on
the farm do not cost anything much
for feed. The plain truth is that they
cost us here in Tennessee at least half
cent day, or $187 year to feed.
We are fond of saying "they hunt
their living" and we turn them out to
find it as soon as the chicks are a
few days old. The Giving" gets
harder to find as the hot weather
comes on and the result is that when
fall comes the old fowls are poor ana
the young ones half developed.

Bank Of England.

The Bank of England was founded
by William Paterson (1658-1719), a
Iong-headed Lowland Scot from Tin
valid parish, in Dumfriesshire, skill
full In finance and in matters of trade,
It was the first public bank in Great
Britain and was chartered in 1894. 1t
was projected to meet the difficulty
experienced by King William III in
raising the supplies for the war
against France. BY the influence Of
William Paterson and Michael God
frey, 40 merchants (aided by Charles
Montague) subscribed 100000 toward
the sum of f1,2O0,0OO to be lent to the
government at per cent, in consid-
GRAFTON of the subscribers being in

was strongly opposed in parliament
but the bill secured the royal assent

CONVEY MEANING IN DANCE
Artists Of India Reveal BY Gestures
Fundamental Concept Of
Life Itself.

There is an essential difference be-
tween the dance Of the East and Of
the West. Both spring from rhythmic
creative impulse, Of course, the desire
to express an emotion, but western
dancing has come to signify little more
than an elaboration OF movement. a
multiplicity Of coraplex steps, while
eastern dancing still strives to SYM
bolize by graceful gestures identified
with a succession Of beautiful pos
tHres some fundamental concept Of
life itself. The dance of the East car
ries with 1t something not of time. For
1t Is half sculpture. The sacred origin
Of dancing In Indla--typifed by the
god silva who conveys through rhythmic
play a sense OF all movement, of all
creation, within the cosmos, together
with the release of the souls of men
from ensnaring Illusion, may be traced
IN the half-ruined reliefs of Indian
inspiration found as far east as the
Island of Bali, beyond Java, and north
throughout Burma and Siam into Cam
bodia. And still today 1.-the figures
repeat the familiar patterns. The

release from the material, the up.

VISITS CONVICTION IN
INTEREST CHOLERA CONTROL

DR.. w. A. Walker, government
veterinarian, visited DIR. Ed Wall, oul
local veterinarian, Monday in the
interest of hog cholera control. While
here DR.. Walker called at this office
for the purpose Of explaining the plar
under which he operates, and for once
we find that, while the old rule which
taught US that we could not expect
to get a thing Of value for no outlay
we still can get that for which we did
not know we were paying and at no
additional outlay of cash.
II seems that the United States
Bureau Of Animal Industry maintains
"a veterinarian at Jackson, who has
specialized in diseases of hogs; that
this mans time is paid for out of a
fund already appropriated by the
national legislature and that conse-
tQuently he may be called upon at any
and all times to visit our hog lots to
aid in the diagnosing of obscure dis
eases or conditions affecting our hogs
and this at no cost to the one calling
him. Dr. Walker wishes to impress
she fact on all who may be interested
that he has a large territory to cover
and suggests that the local veterin-
arian be called first, and then if he
can not satisfactorily handle the
case that he -(Dr. Walker) will be
anore than willing to come at once to
lend the benefit of his training and
experience in overcoming the disease
or condition, as the case may be. He
further wishes to impress upon all
farmers the fact that he is not hunt
ing a Job for himself or DR.. Wall, for,
as he has stated before, his services
are already paid for and it costs
nothing to have him come to your
farm.

POINTED OUT DANGER IN CUP
John Wesley Set His Face sternIy
Against the Drinking of Tea
Himself a Victim.

John Wesley was against tea drink
ing. During visit to Oxford he no.
ticed, among what he described as
'paralytick symptoms" the shaking OF
his hand, and he was puzzled to ex-
plain it, until, as he wrote to
friend, Il observed it was always
worst after breakfast, and that if l
intermitted drinking tea for two or
three days it did not shake at all"
AT first he was content to add more
water, sugar and milk, but finding, Oh
inquiry, that there were others who
were similarly affected, or thought
themselves to be, he came to the con-
clusion that he ought to abstain alto
gether, and to endeavor to persuade
others to follow his example,
Sir Walter Besant tells Of the writer
Of a pamphlet in 1853 who was alarmed
at the spreading of the custom Of
drinking tea, especially by persons Of
an inferior rank and mean abilities"
When taken in company with gossips,
said the author, a dram too often fol.
lowed, and then came scandal with
falsehoods, perversions and back-blt-
ings.
Wesley does not seem to have adj
vanced such lofty moral considera-
tions. In fact after suggesting to his
friend number of substitutes-chief-
ly herbs--he concluded: IF you find
none of them well agree with your
constitution, then use (weak green)
tea again but at the same time know
that your having used 1t so long has
brought you near the chambers Of

HENRY JENNINGS SHOT

]. Henry Jennings, foreman in
charge Of the workhouse gang, who
was shot in the left knee Friday night
on Almadale Farm, is improving.
Jennings was shot on the Almadale
Farm, two miles north Of Coving-
ton, where he had gone to remove
some white liquor that he found on a
farm near Covington and concealed
it at a place convenient to the Jeff
Davis highway. It is said that he
was wounded without warning by the
person to whom the liquor belonged.
The whole load from a shot gun took
effect in Jennings left knee, which
may ultimately result in the loss Of
his lower left limb.
Thus far no arrest has been made
as result Of the incident, yet it is
said that Jennings can identify the
person committing the crime. His
failure to swear out a warrant is not
fully understood by the officers.
