Jk Queer Serf Who Think the W'nftS Is Hollow, One of the queerest of religions is Koreshanity, a smpll Chicago sect un der the leadership of I>r. Cyrus E. Teed, who bears the title of Koreeh. The Koreshanites believe that the uni verse Is a hollow sphere, on the con cave part of which we live. The In terior, which Is eight thousand miles across, ts filled with three belts of at mosphere the air which we breathe, then hydrogen, then aboron. In the center of this vast, spsce Is situated the sun. which Is about one hundred miles In diameter. The Koieshan sys tem teaches, however, that the sun If hidden from sight by three atmos pheres, and that what human being* see as the sun is a focalir.atlon of the true sun's energies at a distance of 1.800 miles from the earth's surface. The sun and the world are supposed to constitute a mighty galvanic battery, which develops millions of cathode rays that are projected back and forth on the inside of the globe anti Hash out here and there as stars.

I.#t(n«*r Rot. From the Horticulturist, published >y the Wisconsin State Horticultural loclety, we take the following query ind answer: “What is the cause of lettuce rot In he greenhouse? And what Is the rem »dy, and is It likely to spread from one lied to another? 1 have discovered to iay what I suppose Is the rot, st any rate a good many of the under leaves of the full-grown lettuce were withered up and 1 found two plants rotted off st the root. I have lettuce In ell stages of growth from plants Just set to full grown; will It be necessary for me to pull up the whole crop and remove it to stop the rot? The younger plants show no signs of rot." From your description I think this Is lettuce rot, although It Is Impossible to state positively without an examina tion of the diseased plants. The condi tions that cause this disease are too high temperature, Imperfect drainage, too much moisture In the house, espe cially at night, and lack of plant food In tbe soil. It will not be necessary to throw out the whole crop, but remove and burn all diseased plants, also all leaves and rubbish of any kind. Keep the bouse at 3S-40 degrees at night and give plenty of air in Ibe day time for a few days, lettuce will grow vigor ously In a temperature In which the disease will make little progress. Avoid overwatering, lettuce Is a cool weather plant and will not atand much forcing. Too much water In the soil, »iih mn hieh temnerature. causes a rapid but weak growth that la liable to be attacked by rot or mildew. We should strive to Imitate the conditions under which tbe crop thrives best out of doors; that Is, cool nights and day. not very warm. Frederick Cranefleld, Agricultural Experiment Station. • no )'«aa The Georgia experiment station has published a bulletin, wbidh gives some valuable Information In regard to dif ferent varieties of the cow pea. Forty six varieties were tesied at the station with lhe following results: First The earliest cow pea, and hence the variety best adapted to htgl latitudes, Is the New Era. This ma tures In a little more, than sixty days from the time of planting. Other very early varieties are Gongo, White Giant, Chocolate and Vacuum. Second The heaviest ylelder of vines Is Red Ripper, followed closely by Forage or Shlnney, Black and Un known. Third—The heaviest producers of peas are Unknown, Calico, Clay and White Brown Hull. Fourth—Tbe yield of peas, as a rule, though not Invariably, parallels the yield of vines. Fifth—For hay, tbe erect varieties ate preferable to those of a recumbent babit, since tbe mower cuts them all. The best of the erect varieties are the Unknown, Clay and Whippoorwill. Sixth—Where a dense mass of vines Is wanted to remain all winter on tbe ground, Calico. Gourd, Black and Con stitution are preferable. Seventh—Tbe beet table are tbe Su gar Crowder. Mush, Large Lady, Small Lady and Rice. Eighth—The best stock pea for field grazing of either cattle or bogs Is the Black. It will remain In ground all winter without injury. Everlasting, Red and Red Ripper are also good. Ninth—For an "all purpose” pea the Unknown leads tbe list. Clay, how ever, closely contests first place. Un known and Wonderful are identical. I.ic< on Hogs. A correspondent writes: "Will you tell me If lice on hoge are a benefit or disadvantage, and if a benefit. In what way? I see a great many breeders have them on their hogs.” There Is no doubt about tbe fact that many breed ers have them on their hogs, tbe rea son being that these hogs are usually kept in rather close quarters and not allowed the hog luxury of wallowing in a mud hole and when the mud dries going to the fence and scraping it off. lice and all. It is not, however, to tbe credit of the breeders to export lice to different herd* in tbe state, and every man who buys a hog should first ex amine and see whether It is an immi gration agent iu disguise. .The use of a little carbolic acid or kerosene emul sion would get rid of this type of ver min which It anything hut a recom mendation io the breeder that sent!* them out.
