Oar Daty to Greece.
In common with all civilized people
we owe an incalculable debt to old
Greece. To the. living' Greek we can
make some return in a generous nation
al sympathy. 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. April

Am Exaeriaieat With Water.
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.

Tohbk 8tock la Spring.
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

The large red flying squirrel

wholly nocturnal, and, like most noc

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

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.

this will satisfy the craving. 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. Ex jf

Time for Corn I'lantinp.
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.

Hartford, Todd county, is convinced
that a marriage between May and De

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.

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.

Paper Flowers.
Cincinnati Tribune: "Paper flowers
ore all right in their place," said a gen
tleman who boasts of the joys and com
forts of married life, "but I'll be hang
ed if there isn't a limit even to paper
flowers. My wife and daughter have
got the craze, and they've got it bad.
If I attempt to lijrht the lanm I invari
ably set fire to a tangle of honeysuckle.
If I go to the library I am frightened
to death lest I break one of the
ranches of morning glories that hang
like cobwebs in front of the glass. If
I attempt to sit down, stand up or
walk, I am compelled to rcconnoiter
about and to indulge in all kinds of
raman tactics before I can move. I
did not object They enjoyed it and I
was satisfied. Hut Sunday the limit
was reached: then my real anger was
aroused. I have a small conservatory
which is the joy and pride of my life.
On Sunday one of my business friends
came to see me, and I took him out to
show him my flowers. That's where
the trouble was. My wife and daugh
ter had paper flowers in every nook
and corner. Every plant in the place
had a paper flower. That settled the
matter. That night there was an ex
tremely large bonfire in our yard."

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

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

available phosphoric acid could hardly

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

The board of control of the Woman's

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

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 Hallway Curiosity.
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.
