We can lend a hand in his distress. "We can buy silks, finer than Penelope ever spun. We can order6 his marbles, for Drosinos and Uroutos have revived the traditions of classical sculpture and Parian and Pen telic breathe again. We can travel in Greece and get a larger yield of felicity on a given outlay than in any other country in the world. And wc can go in for the Olympic games next year, sure of a royal welcome and laural crowns. We can give, too, an unstint ed support of our school at Athens. Then we might send a minister to Greece without requiring him to strad dle the l'alkans and represent us at rival, if not hostile, courts. He must ,be a shrewd diplomat who shall grace fully carry Panhellenism on one shoul der and Panslavism on the other. But ."we should fir-st, take off our tax on Greek currants the one ewe lamb of 'Greek revenue. Then we shall have a better right to chide the Turk for his blood-tithe of tribute children.

London Knowledge: Take a pound of water, the temperature of which is 80 deg. centigrade, and mix it with a pound of water at 0 deg., or freezing point; the mixture will make two pounds of water, the temperature of which is 40 deg. centigrade. Now take another pound of water at 80 deg. centigrade, and mix with it a pound of crushed ice this is, ice crys tals atO deg. centigrade, the same temperature as the cold water in the first mixture, and the result is that we have two pounds of water at freezing point. In both cases the weight of wa ter at 0 deg. centigrade introduced into the warm water was the same, but be fore the ice crystals could assume a liquid condition they had to absorb a certain amount of heat. That heat was drawn from the warm water, and consequently reduced its temperature, but it did not raise the temperature of the ice; it simply acted as energy in I enabling the ice to become liquid, and remained in that liquid in the form of latent heat, to be given up again as soon as the water asumed a crystaline form.

With the approach of spring most animals suffer from violent changes In both food and weather, and young growing stock are less able to endure this than the fully matured ones. Many young spring pigs are lost dur ing April and May through lack of proper care. The farrowing time of these young animals should be looked forward to, and instead of letting them run loose right up to the time in any sort of wet, muddy pens, they should be provided with clean, dry, sweet quar ters a month before the critical period. In this way they get accustomed to their new surroundings. They can be turned out in the yard or fields in the day time, but at night they should be shut up by themselves away from the rest of the stock. Otherwise some fine morning a fine litter of pigs will be found half dead in the wet litter and straw. If kept in a good pen the sow will gather together the dry straw, and make her bed. At this time she should have plenty of fresh water, and oats, shorts or bran should be given to her daily as her chief food. If she is very constipated and feverish she will be cross and irri table and in this condition she will be apt to cat her little ones when they ar rive. This feverish condition can often be avoided by feeding the sow loosen ing food for weeks before the farrowing time, and no corn. If, however, she is feverish and constipated give her a good sized piece of pork, very salty and ground Is warm, over that planted earlier, when the ground Is cold. By very early planting, it a good stand is secured and the corn kept equally free from weeds, we may ex pect as large yields as from later planting. But for this locality the ex tra labor required to remove the weeds and the risk of a poor stand will not justify planting earlier than about May 1st Farm Irrigation. Bulletin 39 of the Utah Agricultural college experiment station treats of farm and orchard irrigation. It reports results of a number of irrigation ex periments, most of them covering a period of five years. The first experi ment, which is discussed by A. A. Mills, is the amount of water to use for dif ferent crops, and is summarized as fol lows: 1. On clay soil the maximum yield of both wheat and straw was obtained by saturating the soil, approximately, two feet deep at each irrigation, or cover ing the ground with 26.S2 inches of water during the season. 2. On this soil there was a decrease of crop where either a more or less amount of water was used. 3. The maximum yield was secured by the use of 26.S2 acres-inches, which is equivalent to a cubic foot per sec. for 27 hours nearly. 4. Though the water that drained from the soil through excessive irri gation was richer in fertilizing ma terial than when applied, the total amount of this material added is more than that extracted. 5. On clay soil containing more sand the yield of grain (wheat) increased as the water increased up to 40 inches, while the maximum yield of straw was produced with sixteen inches of water. 6. On clay soil containing little sand timothy gave mixed results, though where the maximum amount of water Preparlag; for Cera. In preparing ground for corn" we plow in the spring about six inches deep, says A. S. B. in "Farmers Guide." We think this sufficient in our soil, while on land that had been "skinned" for many years this depth might bring up too much subsoil. We think it better to deepen the soil grad ually by plowing a little deeper each successive year until a good depth Is obtained. After the ground is plowed the har row is often the best tool for pulveriz ing. If very dry on some soils it would be economy to use the roller first, than harrow. We never use tho roller when the ground is sod or wet enough to pack. We prefer the drag to alternate with the harrow in the spring in pre paring a seed bed as a rule, and use the roller in the fall, when the ground is more apt to be dry. We never use any commercial fertil izer on our farm, but apply in the fall all the farm yard manure we can make to the fields intended for corn the fol lowing summer. It may be hauled any time during the fall, but we do not aim to spread it before cool and rainy weather, so that it will not waste so badly by drying out, but it should not be allowed to lie in piles all winter, as the rains will leach out the strength and not be evenly distributed over the ground. We prefer hilled com to drill, as it Is nicer to farm, and in case of a wet spell in the Bpring, if weeds get a start, they can be killed without the use of the hoe, which, although a very effec tive tool for destroying weeds, is too slow for the nervous temperament of the hustling American farmer. We plant in hills three feet eight inches each way from two to four .grains to the hill. If the ground has been prop erly prepared before planting, so that it is fine and free from clods, about one or two days before the corn comes through the ground we harrow all over CORNER OF ODDITIES.

Gov't Report Baking Powder ABSOLUTELY PURE vm is in It is The Large Flying Squirrel. The large red flying squirrel terestlng, but not beautiful. wholly nocturnal, and, like most noc turnal animals, is extremely surly and spiteful if disturbed in the daytime. It is as large as a cat, with a face like a rabbit. Its coloring is extremely bril liant for a mammal, and in general ap pearance i resembles some curious monster in a Chinese painting. The fur is a rich and deep chestnut on its back, light chestnut below, its head white and its eye a dull pale gray. The wide parachute membrane be tween its legs is covered with fur, and its tail is long, thickly furred and round. The squirrel does not "fly" in the proper sense of the word, but in the forest its parachute membrane answers Its pur pose almost equally as well as wings. It runs with a wonderful agility up the trunk of a tree and to the end of a branch, and then takes a flying leap, with its limbs extended to the utmost and the wide flesh membrane stretched. This "aerial slide" carries it forward and downward to a horizontal distance of perhaps forty or fifty yards, and it is noticed that, as in the case of birds when making use of their powers of descent with fixed pinions, the squirrel throws Itself upward and ascends slightly at the close of the "flight." perching on the bough it alms at with all the lightness of a pigeon descending from a tower to some point upon the roof below. Ingenuity of a Fakir. Philadelphia Record: Enormous business has been done lately at French fairs by a man who professed to sell a rat powder that was perfectly harm lesss, and that struck rats dead on the spot. In order to convince the skepti cal the man, first of all, powered a slice of bread with the stuff, and ate a piece of it himself. Then he put the remain der under a glass case, in which a rat was kept in captivity. The rat went to eat the bread and instantly fell dead. At 5 pence a box the powder went off like hot rolls, and the lucky proprietor of the specific was in a fair way to make a fortune. But the police, who in France are very active in protecting people from fraud, looked into the mat ter and found that the powder was nothing but ordinary sugar. They also discovered that the case was con nected with a powerful electric bat tery, and the moment the rat touched the bread the current was turned on, and it was thus his death was brought about. The man was arrested at the fair of Albia,ahd he was sentenced to fifteen daysimprisoument. AN APIARY AT CARNACA, ON THE ISLAND OF CYPRUS, IN THE MEDITERRANEAN SEA.

After tho litter is here the pigs should be stirred out of their nest every morning meal, for it is only in this way that they can be made to take exercise. Their warm bed in this way is cooled off, and mado fresher. At two weeks the young pigs ought to begin to eat and drink, and in a month they need plenty of milk so that they will not exhaust the mother by draining her dry. Drive the sow at this time into the pasture during the middle of the day, and let the pigs get the milk out of the trough. Later they will enjoy a run in the field with the old one. For five months feed the young ones for lean meat, and then fatten them for four months, and bring them up to two hundred and fifty rounds. The same care applies to all other young animals on the farm in the spring of the year. It does not pay to turn tho young animals out into the pasture early in tho spring, and make them depend upon it for most of the J, JBummcr. Young calves turned out this rway come back to the barn in the fall about one-half the size and weight that they ought to be. Stable care and good feed, with a good yard, and ac cess to pasture fields part of the time, and a good barn for protection when ever wanted, either night or day, will give the best results in bringing up the young calves. Skim milk, oatmeal, l)'n, crushed oats and clover hay are all good for the young calves, and the animals develop so under this feed that larger profits are realized in the end. Even the young lambs need such treat ment, although they arc not weaned until some time after grass is here, but a small feed of bran or oats each day for a short tiny) 'will be very beneficial to them.

Tho Illinois experiment station has been making some tests on the effect the time of planting has on the yield. In bulletin 37 the experimenters say: Experiments to test the effect of time of planting on yield and growth have been conducted for the past seven years. The, land used in 1S94 was in corn during 1893, in clover during 1S92, and in oats duyhg 1891. The stalks were remove'' and the land plowed during thefall of 1S93. Each planting consisted, of four plats, each 4 rods or 9 hills square, and each plat was planted with a different number of kernels in a hill,,the numbers being 2. 3, 4, and 5 kernels per hill. " The first four plats were-plantedA'pril 26th, and four plats were planted each week hereafter till June.22d, there being 36 plats, in all. The ground for each four plats was disked, smoothed and marked just before planting. The variety of corn used was Burr's white, and it was planted by hand in checks 2 feet S inches apart. Plantings 1, 2 ann G were cultivated five times; 3, 4, 7, and 8, four times; and 5 and 9, three times. The cultivation was done with surface cultivators, and the remaining weeds removed with a hoe. Beginning June 15th, the height of each plant of two rows running across the nine plantings was measured each week during its growth. The east third of each plat was used In a feeding experiment before it came to full maturity. The remaining two thirds were husked in the usual way, the number of ears and weight being ascertained for each third. The mid dle third of each plat was shelled and a sample of tho. shelled corn sent to the laboratory Tor determination of moisture. The largest yield of air-dry corn is fariety of corn used was Burr's white, as good results from planting May 4th, 18th, and 25th. Taking the average of six years, the largest yield is from planting May 11th to ISth, with but little decrease in yield from planting any time from April 27th to May 25th. Corn planted May 25th matured In US days. This is less time than re quired by either earlier or later plant ing. This, together with the fact that the first three plantings reached their maximum height about the name time, shows tho more rapid growth of corn planted later in the season, when the Dressing Calves. Calves from three to six weeks old, and weighing about one hundred pounds, arc the most desirable weights for shipment The head should be cut out. so as to leave tho hide of the. head on the skin. The legs should be cut off at the knee joint. The entrails should all be removed, excepting the kidneys; the liver, lights and heart should be taken out Cut the carcass open from the neck through the entire length from head to bumgut If this is done they are not so apt to sour and spoil during hot weather. Many a fine carcass has spoiled in hot weather be cause of it not being cut open. Don't wash the carcass out with water but wipe out with a dry cloth nicely. This gives the young plant a nice, clean start Should the ground harrow up cloddy we would roll, if dry, when the corn is up sufficiently to be readily seen. Then follow up at least once a week with the spring tooth cul tivator, running very close to the corn while small, but never very deep close to the corn after the roots get well started. We continue with the spring tooth cultivator until from the first to the middle of July, when we leave it, and call it "laid by," feeling that we have done our part for a corn crop. Aged Groom Slept in tho Iturn. Duluth. Minn.. Special. Jesse YVehl man. an agctl and wealthy resident of Hartford, Todd county, is convinced that a marriage between May and De cember is not the correct thing. He is 70 years old and a short time ago 11 to the altar Frances Skinner, a miss of 16. Their happiness lasted precisely one week, and now Weidmann is suing for a divorce. The wedding was the swell est event ever seen in Todd county, for the groom is the most wealthy man in the county and holds mortgages on a vast amount of the farming property which his neighbors occupy. Saturday last the whole country was thrown into a state of excitement by the announce ment that all was over between the couple, and that a legal separation would follow. It is alleged that a few days after the ceremony Mrs. Wcidman brought a male friend to the house, made her husband sleep in the barn, and that a plan was put in operation to force the old man to make over all of his property to his wife.

Merchants, too, are liable to be fined, if found selling these slunks, in a recent bulletin. said: The estimated sales of commercial fertilizers in In diana during the year 1893 amount to 38,000 tons, an increase over the sales in 1892 of 3,000 tons. This 38,000 tons of fertilizer consisted of 14,000 tons of bone, raw and steamed; 18,000 tons of "complete" fertilizer, that is fertilizer containing nitrogen, phosphoric acid and potash: 4.000 tons of ammonia tod Don't ship phosphates, 1,000 tons of pho'sphate and potash, and 1.000 tons of nlain suner- phosphate. The aggregate selling price would amount to over $1,000,000. A change is taking place in the char acter of the fertilizers sold in this state. This change consists of a relative in crease in the amount of the phosphoric acid contained in the fertilizers, and a relative decrease of nitrogen and a rel ative decrease of potash. The total quantity of phosphoric acid contained in the fertilizers sold in the state in Instinct Iletrajretl Him. A curious story is told by a Vienna correspondent of London News. A young man, the representative of a large firm, who carries a large sum of money with him, recently spent the night at a hotel at Prcsburg. As usual he remained some time smoking in bed. Suddenly the burning cigar fell to the floor. He bent over to extinguish it, when he saw a hand projected from under the bed put the cigar out. It made him very uncomfortable. He lay awhile, and then, raying aloud, "How very cold; I shall get my coat," he Jumped out of bed, flew to the door and cried for help. The would-be robber was caught. He confessed he knew the occupant of the room had money, which he hoped to get while he slept. He had been a fireman formerly, ami could not resist the impulse to extinguish the burning cigar.

Drinking Habit. The Scotch and Irish, within about a century, have become a whisky drink ing people, but it cannot be said that they aro less sober than the English. On the fair days in the south of Ire land, there is much drunkenness, though perhaps of less noisy character than in the north of England. The drunken man is guarded by a sober friend, or a wife or sister, and the brawls which follow are not more nu merous than in London. A village of a thousand inhabitants may, it is true, have forty public houses, but drunkenness depends more on the quality of the liquor than on the num ber of places where it can be bought The evil is quite as great in the larger island as it is in Ireland, and as terri ble a scourge on the educated classes as it is on the peasantrj-. The drinking at wakes is still a scandal, but they are conducted with much more decency than of old. Ulackwood's Magazine A Talaable Collection.

Very heavy 1893 was 12,900,000 pounds, the total iiuaiiuiy or ammonia was z.auo.uuo pounds, and the total quantity of pot ash 770,000 pounds. If we compare these quantities with the quantities sold in 1889 we find that there has been a rel ative decrease in the amount of phos phoric acid of 10 per cent, a relative decrease in the amount of ammonia of 3 per cent, and a relative decrease of potash of 9 per cent During the same period there was a relative increase in the amount of raw and steamed bone sold amounting to 16 per cent. The to tal amount of fertilizer sold in 1S93 was double that sold in 1S89. Not only has tho relative proportion of nitrogen, phosphoric acid and potash changed, but there have appeared in this time certain lines of goods that were for merly practically unknown in the state. Five years ago a plain superphosphate that is a fertilizer containing no nitro gen or potash, but 12 to 16 per cent, of available phosphoric acid could hardly he fouml in the state, and the same was true of mixtures of superphosphates and potash salts. During the past year the sales of both plain superphosphates and superphosphates and potash reach considerable proportion. How the Mole Tunnels. Now place the wriggling and restive little crea ture upon the ground on a spot where the ground is not unreasonably hard, so that he may have a fair chance for disappearing, and sec what he will do. The instant he touches the earth down goes his nose, feeling nervously here and there for a place to start his drill. In about one second he has found a suitable spot. His nose sinks into the soil as if it were a brad awl, with a half boring and half pushing motion, and in an instant half your mole's head is buried from view. Now watch sharply or he will be out of sight be fore you see how he does it. Up comes his powerful right foot, sliding close along the side of his head, straight forward, edgewise, to the end of his nose. His five-pointed chisel cuts the earth vertically until it reaches as far forward as his short reach will let 44x go; then, with a quick motion, he pries the earth sidewise from his nose and so makes quite an opening. In stantly the left foot does the same thing on the other side and meanwhile the gimlet-pointed nose has gone on boring. In five seconds, by the watch, his body is entirely out of sight and only his funny little tail can be seen. In three minutes he will tunnel a foot if he is at all in-a hurry to get on In the world.

The horse was a pet and Wells, being very tender-hearted, of fered "Blizzard," a well-known char- Men Will He Kxdiulcvl. The board of control of the Woman's college of Baltimore has issued an order which will bar men from the exhibits to be given by the gymnasium classes. In their gymnasium exercise the young ladies wear a pair of wide Turkish trousers. They have noticed that the attendance of young men has been steadily increasing, and It was for this reason they asked for the new order. The order is also to apply to amateur theatrical entertainments, in which some of the young ladies necessarily assume male characters. Those of the girls who think their sisters entirely too prudish went about the college to day with crape on their arms and dressed President Goucher's china-dojr in mourning-. Handling Manure. H. M. Cottrell in the Rural New Yorker recommends the following method for handling manure: Make the gutters behind the cows with a very slight grade not over one inch in 100 feet run. Keep them well filled with a good absorbent, shavings, saw dust, chaff or cut straw. Any of these absorb nearly the whole of the urine and will retain it so that the ammonia docs not escape and taint the air. For the sVall amount of urine that will not be absorbed in the gutters, continue the gutters to the outside of the barn and have it empty into a shallow tank. Half fill this tank with absorbents, and a well-known char- I as fast as tliev become saturated haul acter about the oyster grounds, a quart ' them to the field.

His mother received a letter from him recently written at San Francisco, in which he says he is doing well there and will never return. He says he left the university because he was disheart ened over his studies. He was a student in the civil engineering department. Detectives scoured the country for him. but no trace of him could ever be found. He and his mother were joint owners of large property interests here, but ow ing to his disappearance she could not do anything with it. He is thought to have been demented when he left college.

New York Advertiser: Work is now about to begin on a railroad in Florida which is a curiosity of its kind. Some time ago the citizens of Avon Park and Haines City, Fla., believed that a trans portation route connecting them would be of great advantage. The country is sandy and nearly level. A company was formed, but the people lacked in capital what they made up in enter prise. It had been decided, so the Man ufacturer's liccord is informed, to build the road with wood rails, which are large enough to be so laid that they will be half buried in the sand, without other ballast. They are to be held in position by wooden pins, two inches m diameter and eighteen inches long. while the ends are connected by plank "Hanson's Bbglc Corn Salve."
