Crocus Is From Kashmir;
Traveller Purloined Bulb

The dainty little crocus has been
aptly called the first gem of the
earth in spring." observes a writer
in the Montreal Star.
It is said that the crocus was TAX
en- to England in the reign of Ed
ward III from Kashmir. In that
country it was the monopoly of the
rajah, but an English traveller, who
penetrated the country as pilgrim,
stole a bulb at the risk Of his life.
He concealed it in his hollow staff,
and managed to carry it all the way
back to his home at Walden, in Es-
sex.
Such harvest of saffron yellow
flowers came from that single bulb
that the place came to be known as
Saffron Walden, the name which it
bears today.
The plant was used as a dye in
India, and for the same purpose in
England and Ireland. Henry VIII
forbade the use of the crocus as a
dye for linen by the Irish. The linen
had been dyed because it was
thought that it would not be neces-
sary to wash it so often as white lin
en-, as the dirt would not show.
According to legend, the crocus
came from some drops of the elixir
of life that Medea was preparing for
the aged Aeson.

The KeeShOnd Dog

Symbol of the patriots in Hol-
lands unrest during the Eighteenth
century, the Keeshond dog gained
sudden notoriety at that time. For
countless years the breed had been
known as the barge dog, sometimes
more specifically as "Fox Dog"
The patriots, as opposed to the
"Prinsgeziden'' or partisans of the
Prince of Orange-were led by a
man by the name of KEGS de Gyse-
laer, who was a dog lover. He
owned at that time dog he called
''Kees." This dog, according to a
writer in the Los Angeles Times,
became the symbol of the Patriots,
and gave the breed its name. Dur
ing that period in Dutch history
when the rijnaken or small vessels
were used in great numbers on the
Rhine river, a dog of this breed,
used as a watch dog, was to be
found on nearly every craft. Farm
ers also used the barge dogs as
watch dogs, and the breed was con-
sidered a dog of the people.

Knights Templar Dates
Back to the Middle Ages

The Knights Templar or Knights
of the Temple mentioned in Ivanhoe
was one of the great military reli-
gious orders of the Middle ages. Or
ganized in the year 1118, during the
Crusades, to aid in the defense Of
Jerusalem, they called themselves
the Order of Poor Knights Of Christ,
or Knights of the Temple of Solo,
mon, from their headquarters in
Jerusalem. They grew to be one
of the most powerful organizations
in Europe, and their great wealth
aroused the jealousy and cupidity Of
princes. Finally in 1912 the order
was suppressed and their property
was seized, largely by the French
and English kings.
The present Knights Templar Is
Masonic fraternity, notes a writer
in the Detroit News. The Aneri-
cana encyclopedia states that the
tradition that the Baldwin En-
campment," which up to the middle
of the Nineteenth century had been
conceded to be the witness that
Masonic Knights Templars were de-
scendants of the knights of the Cru
sades, is not accepted. It's earliest
accredited document bears date 20
December 1880.
The first reference to the Knights
Templars as allied to Masonry is
dated 1859. The theory is that a
connection existed between the chiv-
alric order of Knights Templar and
the fraternity of Operative Masons
in medieval times, because bodies
of skilled workmen erected the
Templar strongholds in the Holy
Land and their churches and prior
les in Scottish Masonry of the trans
mission of the chivalric degrees ev-
er since the execution Of the last
Grand Master of the Templars,
jacques de Molai, in 1914.

Strange Toads From Brazil

Among the curious aquatic crea-
lures in the aquarium of the London
zoo are the Pipa toads from the
swamps of Northern Brazil. Their
heads are triangular in shape and
as fiat as haf-crown pieces. Their
fingers" are long and slender and
terminate in star-shaped tips, while
the toes are so broadly webbed that,
when extended, they resemble half
opened umbrellas. Their eggs, re-
ports London paper, up to about
a hundred in number, are deposited,
with the help of the male, upon the
back of the female, where they sink
into the skin, which, during the
breeding season, is spongy and
yielding. The cavities so formed
become covered after a few days
with a horny lid. Nearly three
months later the young toads lift I'D
the lids and emerge as perfect little
toads.

'Man-KiIIer" Elephants
Occasionally Run Amok

The most vicious of working ele-
plants is the dreaded ''man-killer,
writes w. Leigh Williams in Sunday
at Home. In contrast to the 'rogue,
which is genuine wild elephant OF
savage and solitary habit, the man.
killer is a worker, almost always
a first class worker, who occasion
ally runs amok These brutes aver
age about one in a hundred of q
herd. Their murderous proclivities
are generally thought to be due to
some fault in early training, some
failure to break their spirit when in
the pen.
When inspecting a new herd, it
easy to distinguish the man-killer at
a glance, for his every movement
is Swallowed by man on foot armed
with long, sharp spear. This is
the assistant rider, grinly certain
of eventual promotion. On his neck
sits man whose application for a
policy would be refused by any life
insurance society in the world. A
brave man, who has probably
helped to bury the mangled remains
of his predecessor, he is highly paid,
and thus able to afford the opium
with which he keeps up his courage.
For he never knows when a sud-
den and horrible death will over
take him. The elephant may be
perfectly behaved for years, then
without warning turn on his rider
and tear him to pieces or trample
him to jelly. Why are these brutes
not destroyed after their first kill?
Well, first class working tusker is
worth several hundred pounds.

Longest and Shortest DAYS

The longest and shortest days Of
the year are determined by the
summer and winter solstices, the
exact time being determined by
mathematical calculation. The sol
stices are the times of the year
when the sun is at its greatest dec
lination, either north or south. For
instance, the summer solstice is the
time when the sun reaches its farth-
est point in its swing northward
from the equator, which, according
ly, marks the longest day of the
year. The year consists of approx
imately 365A days, and it is this
fractional day of each year which
causes the solstices to fiuctuate.
This is adjusted by the leap years.
However, the longest and shortest
days differ in length from the days
Immediately preceding and follow
ing them by only a fraction of a
minute.

Monterey. California,s Capital

Monterey was formerly the most
enterprising city Of California and
the principal military, commercial
and financial center. It played an
important part in the jealousies that
divided the northern and the south
ern settlements. Except for a short
time (1845-1847) it was the capital
of California until the constitution
Of the new state was adopted in
1849. 1t was the county seat until
1872. The first American newspaper
on the Coast was published there
and in Cotton hall met the conven-
ton which framed the first constitu-
ton Of the state. The first theater in
California, the first brick house and
the first house Of planned lumber
were built in Monterey. After the
discovery Of gold its importance
declined and San Francisco took the
leading place.

In the great harvest fields of life;

Bring in the golden sheaves;
And join the glad song of rejoicing,
Floating out over garnered fields.

After the battle is fought and won;
In the music of His welcome,

Where the ages roll on forever more:

Animal and Bird Voices
Mistaken for Human CRY

A number of birds and animals
have almost human cries. Some
times at night, you may hear what
you think is baby crying outside.
You go to investigate, but can find
no one, observes a writer in the
Montreal Herald. The cry is re-
peated, and you go out again, to
discover at length that an owl is
making it.
The cry of a kittiwake, a sea
bird, is very similar to the voice of
tired child whining: "Get away!
Get away!"
The laughing-jackass makes a
noise almost identical with that of
crowd of boys thoroughly enjoy
ing themselves; you know what that
is!
The whip-poor-will got its name
from its constant repetition of those
three syllables; and the more-pork,
a native of Australia, is named
from the same reason, it loudly and
vehemently demanding ''more
pork"
If you have heard a night-jar you
will know it's dismal note, a real cry
of distress. In India there is a crow
which laughs just like human be-
ing.
The seal has a very human way
of lamenting the loss or capture of
its young while the cry of a wound
ed hare is as full of tragedy as the
appeal of a child in sore trouble.

FARM
Tories
SEASON FAVORABLE
FOR COVER CROPS
Seedlings Will Supply Feed
for Farm Live Stock.
By D. r. Dodd, Extension Agronomist, Ohio
State UniVerstY.-WNU Service.

By D. R. Dodd, Extension Agronomist, Ohio
State University.-WNU Service.
Farmers are advised to take adj
vantage of favorable weather and
crop conditions this season as a
means of establishing increased
soil-conserving grass and legume
acreages on their farms.
Not only will such seedlings even
tually provide live stock feed and
forage crops, but they will supply
a valuable land covering for the
winter months and prove of advan-
tage to farmers who intend to par
ticipate in the 1888 Agricultural Con-
servation program.
While summer seedlings of le-
gumes and grasses are not generally
the preferable practice, good stands
can be attained on lands from which
an early crop has been harvested, on
land which has been summer-fal-
lowed, on land which has produced
an emergency forage crop this sea-
son, and on land which failed to pro-
duce a stand of conserving crops
seeded in the spring. In hilly Sec
tons there is danger of serious ero-
sion and the breaking of long slopes
as unit should be avoided. Such
slopes are best handled in strips and
on the contour.
A fine firm seedbed with good
moisture content to pillow depth and
a good supply of available nutrients
are essential. The seedbed is best
completed by use of a cultipacker.
The seed may then be broadcast
and covered very lightly. Usually,
a 2-12-6 or 0-14-6 fertilizer, at the
rate of $50 to $50 pounds per acre,
should be used before seeding.
Winter cover crops are particu-
larry valuable, serving to hold win
ter SHOWS on the cropland, conserv-
ing moisture, reducing teaching, re-
tarding runoff, and reducing ero-
sion. Lime is first essential and
must be used where needed.
