"To the ingenuity of Ilerr Ecnil Cla-
fiez , a well-known Saxon inventor and
nanufacturer , is due the production of
i paper yarn termed "Zylolin , " taint
las been successfully used in a wide
range of textile fabrics. " So writes
? rank N. Bauskett in the Technical
JVorld Magazine.
"The utilization of paper wood fibre
tnthis practical way nnd the extreme
heapnoss of the new material com
pared with other yarns now in use is
-really a most remarkable achievement.
Pliis is not a haphazard discovery , but
ather the logical result of years of
painstaking study and experimentation.
A.fter the final development of the the-
> ry at first in mind into tangible ma
terial for all manner of uses in textile
industries , the paper thread and yarn ,
oose or tightly spun , of all thicknesses ,
have since been woven into almost ev
ery conceivable fabric and tested and
retested until the invention has become
an important commercial success. The
paper yarn has extraordinary wearing
properties , and as the full scope of its
osefulness has probably not -been deter
mined , it will , in all likelihood , lend
Itself to other purposes yet to be
Covered. "

She says Grapo-Nuts was first
brought to her attention on a visit to
Charlotte , where she visited the Mayor
of that city who was using the food < y
the advice of his physician. She says :
"They derive so much good from it
that they never pass a day without
using it. While I was there I used
the Food regularly. I gained about lo
pounds and felt so well that when I
returned home I began using Grapo-
I uts in our family regularly.
"My little IS months old baby short

with dyspepsia and teething. She was
sick nine weeks and we tried every

it was painful to handle her and we
thought we were going to lose her. One

Senator Platt , as president of tlie Unit

lar to stockholders , shows that tlie earn
ings and income for the first half of the
present year have fallen off , compared
with the first half of the preceding year.
The net income from all sources for 1907
he estimates at 7 per cent. This state
ment is regarded as an answer to the de
mands of minority stockholders for a di
vision of surplus and their charge that
the Platt family and their associates have
juggled the books to hide the profits from
owners of stock. The minority faction al
leges that rival companies have been rep
resented on the board > and that business
has been diverted to competitors. A for
mal demand has been made for reform in
the management of the company.

Tlie death of Dr. Seneca D. Powell , a
member of the faculty of the Post Gradu

is believed to have been directly due tft his
experiments in the cause of medical sci
ence. In his efforts to demonstrate that
alcohol was an antidote to carbolic acid
the doctor frequently swallowed wJiat
would have been a fatal dose of the poi
son and then took alcohol. Many of these
experiments were made in tie presence
of classes at the school where he was ap
instructor.

A nail in time saves nine.
The -best method of .paying . for the
farm is to make it productive.
Keep the weeds from securing a start
by constant , thorough cultivation.
Labor is never spent in vain when It
leads to the accomplishment of good
results.
To make sheep pay , keep the best
sheep obtj inajble and give them the best
keep"possible
possible t
LimJbs that are diseased on trees are
best removed as soon as discovered ,
regardless of the season or age of the
trees.
The feeding of grain to sheep -will
make their wool grow faster and more
dense- and consequently a heavier fleece
will be the result.
Stable manure is the most practical
fertilizer known , for an application of
it seems the adding of footih the ele
ments of fertility and humus.
The farm products must toe put in
the form in which they will command
the most money and yet leave the farm
In the most productive condition.
Do not sell the youngest yearling
stock while there are older animals
thnt can be disposed of with equal ad
vantage and which will not grow into
more money.
The best system of farming Is that
wfoich gives the largest returns for the
labor and capital invested and still
leaves the soil in condition to produce
maximum crops.
TV-hen the food supply is only suffi
cient for maintenance in an animal
there is no gain in weight simply for
the reason that nothing to make
growth or weight has ibeen furnished.
Make a study of the herd of cows ,
select the best ones , sell the poor
ones , buy or raise more , good ones ,
grow more cowpea and alfalfa hay
for winter feeding , and make the
cows keep you instead of you keeping
the cows.
All kinds of coarse food can be ren
dered serviceable -by judicious combina
tion of the ration. Even cut straw will
be eaten if bran and oil meal are
added to it Fodder can be made ac
ceptable to stock 'by ' preparation , and
hay may be fed with other foods in a
manner to make the whole ration very
palatable.
A cattle breeder , who has experi
mented in various modes of feeding ,
states that he estimated the cost of the
food according to the value of the land
and the crop , and with a buncfh of
steers on a pasture , from May to Sep
tember , he cleared $ G.SO an acre. As no
labor was required , the steers securing
the food from the pasture , the gain was
an addition to that which the pastures
give ordinarily , while the manure is
also an item of profit
It Is very easy among a lot of fowls
to decide which will be the best layers.
It is always the hen that has red
combs and that gets up the earliest ,
even In cold weather. When a hen is
moping and dumpish she will not lay
many eggs , and those she does lay ,
while they may be all right while fresh
for eating , are worth little or nothing
for setting. If the eggs for setting
were always chosen from fowls that
were themselves active and vigorous ,
the greatest possible improvement in
the prolificacy of fowls would be at no
expense whatever.

Where are the largest orchards In .
the world ? The general impression is , '
no doubt , that they are to be found in
the United States , tout , according to a
fruit trade paper which ought to know I
they are at VTerder , near Berlin. They 1
extend without a break for "between
"
12,000 and 13,000 acres. "
By canal and river alone the Fruit
Growers' c-mpany sends away 45,000-
000 pounds of apples and pears in a r
year : From Werder railway station an
additional 12,000,000 pounds of fruit
goes forth to the world. Then there is
Jammaking , for which a thousand tons
of sugar is used in a twelvemonth. The
produce of tihe orcaards of Werder has
lately been advertised toy a fruit-grow
ing exhibition at that place. One of the
features was 2,000 yards of model or-
diard , containing examples of the
choicest sorts of fruit It is well to
foe reminded that commercial fruit
growing on the most up-to-date lines
has made progress oversea outside Can-
\da , the States and the antipodes.
Value of Corn Stalk * .
The true value of foods to the farm
er is in the proportions of protein and
( mineral matters ) contained. If
corn Is exchanged for iron and bran is a
used on the farm as food for stock ,
there is brought on the farm more pro
tein than is contained in corn , as well
as a larger proportion of the phos
phates ( hone-forming elements ) than
the corn contains. The manure from
bran is also much more valuable than
that from corn , .and when a fair price
can be obtained for corn it may be to
the advantage of farmers to sell their
corn and buy bran for stock. When
the corn crop Is planted the fodder
should be considered as one-thai ! the
crop expected. The crop of fodder
from a field of corn should toe equal In
value to the grain taken therefrom ,
and yet the fodder is wasted and the
grain saved. In fact , if the fodder is
given no better treatment than it re
ceives on some farmsit would be
cheaper to drive Into the fields , pull
the ears from the stalks , throw them
into a wagon and ihaul direct from the
field to the crib , leaving the stalks
standing , than to expend labor in cut
ting-it - into shocks . , with the . addltlomjj ,
- - * - - * - i-i- -j y Ti
work of husking the grain after the
corn is shocked , as it will save labor by
so doing , if the fodder is to be wasted ,
especially as it is a very disagreeable
task to husk the corn In the field in
cold weather.
Growing : Protein Peed.
Protein foods , so essential in feed
ing live stock , can be grown far more
cheaply than they cost in the market.
On this subject Wallace's Farmer
says :
The experience of the last thirty
years has shown that a balanced ra
tion can be grown on the farm without
the purchase of any feeds containing
protein , as , for example , bran , oil
meal or cotton seed meal. It has
shown that forty pounds of silage and
tiighteen pounds of good clover hay
will make a fairly well balanced ra
tion for an ordinary cow ; in other
words , that a ton of silage will furnish
half the- ration of an average cow for
fifty days ; and that an acre of good
corn that will yield fifty bushels to the
acre will furnish from eight to twelve
tons of silage.
The farmer who has corn of this
character and clover , or clover and
timothy , or alfalfa meadow that will
yield from two to three tons of hay
per annum can easily figure on the
number of cows he can keep on a def
inite number of acres during the winT
ter season. The number of acres of
pasture that will be required will de
pend upon the character of the pasture
and the season ; but usually on the
care he takes of his pasture.
Every dairyman who is ' keeping
from ten to twenty cows should ,
therefore , begin to study the silo ques
tion very thoroughly. This is one of
the topics that should be discussed
not merely at institutes , but at the
firesides in every ( dairying community.
The great obstacle in the way of the
individual farmer using the silo is not
the cost of building it , which , consid
ering its capacity , is not as great as
the cost of a barn would be. It is
rather in the cost of machinery neces
sary to convert the corn into silage ,
and of the help needed at that partic
ular tune. Here is where co-operation
comes in.
Life and Disease * of Grapea ,
The author of a Texas bulletin pre
sents data covering a period of nine
teen years , secured for the most part
from his records of an eight-acre grape
vineyard planted in 1SSG-7 near Den-
ison , Tex. The soil in this vineyard is
a light sandy soil from G inches to 3
feet deep , with a red and yellow clay
subsoil. The land has had but one
application of fertilizer , consisting of
a heavy coat of cotton-seed meal some
twelve years ago. Data have also been
collected from vineyards grown on dif
ferent soils , Including "black waxy"
and lime soils.
In table 1 the relative longevity ,
health and vigor of twenty-six species
of grapes grown in the vineyard at
Denison are noted. The species usual
ly found native to lime soils are dis
tinguished from those native to sandy
soils. Table 2 gives the names of each
variety cultivated , the specific blood ,
the number of vines of each planted
in 18S7 , and the number and percent
age alive in 1905 , together with notes
on the color , economic value and use
of the fruits , and condition of the
vines in 1905. The varieties are noted
which have been found suitable for
"black waxy" soils with clay subsoils ,
and for "black waxy" and "adobe"
soils underlaid with white rock as
near as two feet from the surface.
The author presents data on exten
sive personal observations and reports
secured from different experimenters
In Texas on the adaptability of differ
ent varieties of grapes for the limy
rolls in Texas. It is stated that all
species and varieties grow well in
sandy soils wheere carbonate of lime
floes not exceed 25 per cent of the soil.
Some species will flourish in soils
which contain as high as 40 to 60 per
cent of lime.
Varieties much subject to rot and mil-
Sew are not recommended for plantIng -
Ing In the humid forest region of East
rexas unless spraying with sulphate or
carbonate of copper solution is thor-
Dnghly attended to. Grapes are not
xmsidered * to succeed well In boggy or
seepy soils on account of late froct ?

System of Branding ; Authorized by
the Army r-lnlionn. .
Whenever you see the Jotters "U. S. "
branded on the left fore shoulder of
an animal make up your mind at once
th.it that beast is or was at one time
j the property of our rich old "Uncle
Sam , " says the Washington Post.
Then , again , if you knew the key to
the syfetem of branding utilized by the
quartermaster's department , U. S. A. ,
you would in a moment be able to tell
the organization of the army to which
that animal was assigned immediately
after purchase by the government.
Last October , when the army of Cu
ban pacification was being embarked
from Newport News , Va. , many of the
army horses and mules awaiting ship
ment became mixed with those of oth
er organizations , but it only needed
the knowledge of Sergeant Casey to de
cipher the hoof brands and dispatch
the animals to their proper organiza
tions. In other words , these brands
serve as "identification tags. "
Branding public animals is not a
matter of choice , but is provided for
by the army regulations , which direct
that "public animals shall , upon the
day received , be branded with the let
ters 'D. S. ' on the left foreshoulder.
Horses assigned to organizations will
also. Jbe bnjnded on the hoof of one
forefoot , one and one-half inches below
the coronet , with the designation of
the company. Branding irons of uni
form size and design will be supplied
by the quartermaster's department.
Letters 'U. S. ' to be two inches in
height. Letters and numbers of hoof
brands on the same line to be three-
fourths of an inch high , the letter to
precede the number , and blocked so as
to penetrate the hoof one-sixteenth of
an inch. For example , the hoof
brands on horses assigned to band , 9th
cavalry , would be CB9 ; to Troop A ,
5th cavalry , Avould be A5 ; to Company
A , Battalion of Engineers , * would be
