The officers in tho German Army, the captains in particular, are required to giro lectures to their men on sub jects relating to the latter's duties. A certain captain quartered at Berlin was due at G o'clock one morning at tho class room. Oversleeping himself. and not arriving until twenty minutes past, he found, to his uismay and an noyance, a young-looking officer at tending to his work and busy at the blackboard. On his angry approach the young officer turned around, and tho captain at once recognized his Emperor in the substitute. Speechless yitli astonish ment, he tremblingly recei"ed the text book which His Majesty quietly handed him, with the remark: We havo got :is far as there, Cap tain," and left the room without, ap pearing to hear tho officer's stuttered excuses. The Captain awaited a peremptory dismissal, but for weeks there came no decision of his fate. At last, when tho suspense had be come fairly unbearable, on Dec. C, when St. Nicholas holds his disciplin ary inspection among the German chil dren, he received a. present fiom the Emperor. It was an alarm clock. Stcrl Ulaxuouds. Within a year or two the French chemist. Monsieur Moissan, has suc ceeded in making minute diamonds by saturating melted Iron with carbon and then cooling the iron under strong pressure. The carbon crystallizes into the form of diamonds as the metal cools. This experiment has been re peated many times. Recently it oc curred to Monsieur Rossel that there must be diamonds in very hard steel, which is produced in a manner similar to the process of Monsieur Moissan. Accordingly he examined many speci mens of such steel and discovered that in Tact it does contain microscopic dia monds, mere specks in size, but pre senting the characteristic forms and properties of natural diamonds. At a recent meeting of the Academy of Sci ences in Paris oMnsiiir Rossel exhib ited magnified photographs of several of these minute gem3 taken from bits of steel It Surprised Him.

And when his honor iid he fully agreed with the statement, and that John was the biggest, loafer he had seen for many a day, the prisoner was dazed with surprise.

How Saceessfal Farmer Operate Thla Department of the Farm A Few IUnts aa to the Car ef Lire Stock and Poultry. Experiments In Artificial Hatching?. T IS only recently that operators of incubators have come to fully real ize the great im portance of proper ventilation for in cubators and hatch ing rooms. The following (Vol. VII., Xo. 10, Report United States De partment of Agriculture), taken from the reports of the French minister of agriculture, shows conclusively the ne cessity of supplying vitalizing air to the chick. The sensible hen cools and airs her eggs, as must the successful incu bator operator. "It was also found that the eggs of fowls which were at liberty hatched better than those of fowls which were confined. In tests made with an incubator it was found that eggs which were repeatedly cooled and warmed hatched much better than those that were kept at a warm tem perature all the time. In one experi ment the eggs were cooled by exposing Lhem to the air for one and one-half hours daily during the whole period of incubation. This treatment retarded the period of incubation for three days. The eggs became quite cold and it re quired about twelve hours to bring them up to 104 deg. P., the temperature of incubation. In the experiment, thir teen out of sixteen hatched vigorous chickens. The incubator has been pre viously used with unsatisfactory re sults. From a second experiment it was inferred that the gradual heat of the eggs was as essential as the process of cooling. Twenty-five eggs which had been laid on very warm days v:ere placed in an incubator and exposed to the air, as in the preceding case. The temperature was such that the eggs were warmed up to 104 degrees in two Dr three hours. This temperature was maintained until the brood hatched. The chickens pierced the shell, but they were so weak that they died before leaving the eggs. It was found that the ;ggs upon which a fowl is sitting are not all of the same temperature, those upon the outside being cooler than those that lie inside." Onions for Poult rr Food. There is no vegetable that grows of more value to the poultryman than the onion, says American Poultry Journal. Doubtless it was one of the foods of the fowl in its natural state, as it is found growing wild in several parts of the world. In Illinois and Missouri we have found it, both in the woods and prairies, with sprouts short and crisp early in the spring, that would lengthen and toughen as the season advanced, to bear a small seedling onion or "button" late in the fall. We never tried plant ing any of the "button" onions of the wild variety, but doubtless if we had they would have produced the same class smaller in size perhaps ot onions that the "sets" of the cultivated sorts do to-day. Be that as it may, th onion of commerce is a valuable addi tion to the list of vegetables that are considered good for fowls. At this sea son of the year when the fowls are run down by the heat of the autumn and the strain of moulting, the onion will be found a firet-class tonic. Where there is bowel trouble, with greenish droppings, and dysentery, onions cut up i tolerably ne and fed aa often as three times a week will prove of great bene fit, and where the chickens have had access to any unclean food and become affected by it, such as decaying animal matter, which leads to limberneck or old-time chicken cholera, sometimes the feeding of onions will be found ben eficial; although when a chicken gets good chance at such stuff, and gets a big dose of it, it is about as good as gone. Precaution should be taken to have nothing of the kind on the prem ises. Onions boiled in with the warn! mash for the hens is good, and by in vigorating and stimulating them causes them to lay better. In fact onions as a tonir and a food is one of the simple provisions ot nature that any one can keep handy at a small cost. Don't fail to include them in your poultry bill of fare two or three times a week, and of tencr if the chickens appear debili tated. American Demand for Hereford. After a long calm, during which the cxportatioii3 of Hereford cattle have been few and far between, home breed ers arr once more hopeful of a good de mand from Canada and the United States, says London Live Stock Jour nal. Letters from people in authority across the Atlantic state that the trade for Kerefords there is undoubtedly re viving, and that a number of buyers contemplating coming over to England in the spring to make selections per sonally. Some of the most sanguine home breeders think there is about to be another American boom, only on more reasonable lines than the last, for extra sires on ranches where the Hereford strain has made itself con spicuously profitable, for the introduc tion of Hereford bulls amongst cattle where they have not been previously tried, and for fresh blood in pedigree herds. The demand is coming very op portunely now that the depression in agriculture is more severely felt, even in fruitful Herefordshire. It is the jub ilee of the Hereford Herd Book socie ty, which has done so much towards maintaining the purity and pedigree of the Hereford breed. Next year is the centenary of the Herefordshire Agri cultural society, which was originated for the express purpose of improving the form of the Hereford, and an ex tension of trade will also help the Here ford Cattle Breeders' association, which is so useful in holding com petitions for the comparison of young bulls, and in bringing to notice the most promising animals. There is quite a respectable consignment of yocng pedigree Herefords now going across the Atlantic, the genuine char acter of the trade heing indicated by the difference of purchasers, and the variety of herds which have been, se lected from. The Draft Horsr. Within the next three or four years it is probable that two-thirds of ail the draft horses now doing the work of the country will be "expended in the ser- J vice," and will have to be replaced. says Southern Cultivator. There is a great deal of talk about the progress of invention displacing the horse, but no trolley or bicycle has yet been found to displace the horse. Nothing of a practical character has yet been dis covered that will do the work of the draft horse. It is a class of horses, too. that has become notablv scarro in j the country. There are very few of i them coming on. With a revival of ' business, which is certain to come ! eventually, those city firms vrhich take pride in having their vans, drays and . other heavy vehicles drawn by fine, j heavy, shows draft hfjrsea will fee In JT the market for supplies. They find that horses of this class not only do the work well, but are a handsoma ad vertiseraent of their business, fcdjr.ip there much promise that they -will b found In t!iG near future In the exist Ing Btipply of colts. Farmers and live stock growers are looking about to find some line of work that Is not over done. No one conversant with the sit uation has any apprehension about the draft horse business being overdone now. The only thing that at present prevents a genuine draft horse famine is the general business depression that exists throughout the country, wfeich limits the demand. If the demand were normal, the suppVy would be wholly inadequate to it. The breeding of good nraft horses wherever one has mares suitable for the work, is, therefore, so far as it is possible for anyone to peer into the future, as good an opening ar the live stock grower can find. Contest In Michigan. It is said that dealers in Detroit hart determined to put up a fight against the enforcement of the anti-color law in the state of Michigan, says Elgin Dairy Report It seems to us the hand lers and dealers of this product are either utterly lost to all question of right and justice or are so satisfied with their own wisdom in regard to the interpretation of the law that they can see months ahead what the decision of the court will be, and therefore become law breakers rather than law abiding citizens. The dairy commissioner says that the law will be enforced in the state of Michigan, the manufacturers and dealers in oleo to the contrary not withstanding. The dairy commission er will have the whole commonwealth to support him, and we hope must earnestly that he will succeed in con vincing these violators that the law was meant to be obeyed and not disobeyed. The aairy commissioner ana authori ties of that state have, of course, an advantage over the parties who are en deavoring to enforce the law in our state of Illinois. There no appropria tion was made nor officers designated to enforce the law except in a general way, and yet we believe the fight that is being put up now in our state will result in driving out of the state all manufacture of oleo colored in imita tion of butter. The Milk Can. At a convention in Minnesota, J. K. Bennett said, among other things: "In the care of cans, they are to be kept clean and free from rust. They should be washed as soon as possible after being used. Rinse first with cold wa ter, then scrub thoroughly with a brush both inside and oUiside, using warm water almost hot, or better, a good soap suds, use it often anyhow. Give particular attention to the seams and don't forget the outsides. You know the inside is often judged by the outside. Finish with scalding water. Turn your cans upside down long enough to allow them to drain; then leave them right side up, or on their sides in the fresh air, and you will have clean, sweet cans. It is a very common error to leave them over a stake, or on a board. This is a serious mistake, as invariably the cans will sour thereby. The hot air or steam . rises and has no escape, consequently j condenses in the cans and sours. Much I milk otherwise well cared for is often 1 tainted from no other reason. A rusty , can should not be used, as it imparts a foreign flavor to milk. t'eedlns Poultry. Milk, if the vessels or troughs con taining it arc kept sweet and cleanly, may with advantage be kept whero fowls can get to it at any time. Other kinds of food should be given at rcgu- ; lar times and only in the quantities that will be then consumed, says ah e.- ' change. It is simply wasteful to throw , out to them a large quantity of food in order that they have it within reach all through the day. Much of it will be scattered about, lost, or so filthy that your fowls ought not to eat it. Besides ' this, all poultry require a certain ' amount of exercise in order to be healthy, and this exercise ihey will not ' take unless driven by appetite to hunt for part of their food. And it is prob able that needed qualities of food ob tained by so hunting aid in the assimi lation of the ordinary feed given to them. The careless feeding of unneces sary quantities at a time prevents liens from laying as they would if not over fed, and those intended for the table or market, are fattened best by giving to them only so much as they will ciean up at each meal. l'oor Clover Seed. Crimson clover Is a "pernickitty" kind of plant, with very well defined notions of its own about where it will or will not grow, says Western Farmer. Sometimes when it seems to have every facility it does not amount to anything. Nothing but experiment shows, in many cases, whether crimson clover can be successfully grown. It should be added, though, that the poor quality of clover seed so often on the market has also a great deal to do with the poor clover observed in some locali ties. Whether farmers are careless and indifferent, or whether some of them deliberately put on the market seed that they know to be unreliable, is a matter for individual decision; but cer tain it is there is more clover seed of poor quality than almost any other staple on the market. The price com manded for clover seed is always good, and buyers are entitled to get what they pay for. Diseases of Ducks and Geese. The most frequent difficulty with ducks and geese is that of vertigo. They drop down on their feet, or fall over to one side suddenly, at times as rapidly re covering, or dying immediately. Th's happens only when ducks or geese are fed on too much grain. The best sys tem to adopt in summer is to put them in a field where short grass is abundant, or even young weeds, and let them get the food for themselves. They require but very little food in summer, as they are then well over the laying period, becoming non-producers. If this fact is kept in view that of the non-producers requiring but little food during warn weather there would be a sav ing in expenses as well as fewer losses from disease, but it is difficult to con vince those having good breeds that there is such a thing as killing with kindness feeding too much. Mirror and Farmer. Sowing Winter Wheat. Winter wheat is practically a biennial plant, for it requires the best part of two sea sons for maturing. During half of this time it lies dormant, nor does it grow much during the hottest part of the year. It does its best during the mod erate temperature of the spring rjd fall, and this is a guide as to the best time of sowing this grain in different latitudes.- -Ex. If you get a case of roup destroy the bird at once and disinfect the prem ises. Examine every ether bird and it any sign of the disease be seen kill all such birds. Sometimes the disease is only shown by some transparent phlegm in the slit at the roof of the mouth. If you trifle wjth it the whole, fiock my be kt. ' ' Trretaxleoa. r Tyrotoxicon or cheese poison. There If no appearance In cream or cheese containing this poison by which its presence may even be suspected, but if there is a decided acid reaction to blue litmus paper, and in the case ot cheese a slightly opalescent fluid exudes from the freshly cut samples: eat with cau tion until confident. Persons poisoned by this ptomaine show the following symptoms according Jo Dr. Vaughn'! investigations: Frofn one to four hours after eating the cheese, persons are taken with vomiting accompanied in many cases with diarrhea with wa tery stools, and pain in the stomach. At first the tongue is white, later dry. pulse feeble and irregular, countenance pale, exceeding weakness and a strong desire to sleep or even unconscious ness. Any decomposable organic ma terial which has been exposed to th2 atmospheric dust and germs for any length of time may become infected. Since all putrefaction is due to living organisms, it follows that these ma terials which furnish the best condU tions for development will become in fected and encourage the growth of most dangerous results. According to Dr. Vaughn, in his work en ptomaines and leucomaines, food poison may orig inate in any one of the following ways: 1. The food is infected and the poison Is generated only and wholly before the food is taken. 2. The infecting or ganism may begin the elaboration of its poisonous products outside and con tinue the same process inside the body. 3. The infection may not result in the production of poison until the food is taken into the body. As to tho condi tion under which this subtle poison and the ptomaines which produce it are encouraged, they are many and as va ried as the different modes of living. Heat, pure air, pure water and plenty of sunshine are the main weapons to fight these enemies of the human race. Artificial heat, above 200 degrees F. and the direct action of the sun's rays are prejudicial to the life of poison producing organisms when exposed to their action. The careless and sloven ly methods of handling milk or cream, Improperly cleaned utensils, the stor age in damp, foul or mouldy smelling cellars or outhouses, the use of con taminated well or running water, the disgusting habit of throwing slopa and waste water onto the ground near tho house and close to the room used for setting the cream, and in the case of towns and cities, the unsanitary con dition of houses from faulty connec tions of the house wastes with the pub lic sewers are among the many condi tions which lead to the development of this subtle poison in dairy products. Michigan Dairy and Food Commis sion Report San Bonnets for Hort.cs. Horses in London are wearing straw hats this season. For some time the English Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals has been agitating the question of protecting the heads of horses during hot weather. This agi tation has finally had a good effect, and nearly every horse that is compelled to draw heavy loads through the London streets is now protected from the sun's rays by a bonnet. This plan has long been followed .in France, and the h:it adopted in England is the same as that used in Bordeaux. It looks much like the straw hats familiar to visitors to American summer resorts and bathing beaches. The brim is wide and there are holes througli which the horses ears project. It is held in place by be ing tied to the bridle. Manufacturers of straw goods arc dclighiod with tho innovation, as they have bsen kept busy all summer making the hats. They sell for a trifle, but such tremendous num bers arc used that the total cost is con siderable. The mortality among horse3 liar- decreased greatly since the use of the hats became common. As the hats have high crowns, there is plenty of room for ventilation. During extremely hot weather in New York city the mor tality among hores is very large. Truckmen there have the custom of lying wet sponges to the ears of their horses, and it doubtless saves many lives, but there is no doubt that they would guard against loss even more if they should adopt the humane practice of Londoners, even though the animals do look rather grotesque. Flint Corn fir Turkeya. Successful Rhode Island growers as a rule feed their turkeys from start to finish on northern white flint ccrn, which they grow themsele3. They take great pains to use nothing but well seasoned old corn, because they have found that new corn causes bowel trouble, which is more to be feared in a turkey than any other fowl, and is liable to be fatal. Diarrhoea seems to be more prevalent among turkeys than any other disease, and a bird that gets sick is very apt to die. Foraging in a field of green oats may give then diarrhoea and cause much loss. Turkeys not only like northern flyit com best and fatten best on it. but it makes their flesh more tender, juicy and delicious. That given the little ones is coarsely ground and mix ed with sweet or sour milk, or made into bread that is moistened with milk. This is gradually mixed with cracked corn, which, when they are about eight weeks old. is fed clear or mixed with sour milk. In the fall whole corn is given. Ex. Inspecting Nursery Stock. State Entomologist Johnson of Maryland, says the Baltimore American, is in specting the nurseries of the State, 32 in number, with over 5,000,000 trees, under the new iavv guarding against diseases and insects. About 2.900.COO trees and vines have been inspected, certificates given, and the work will be completed about Oct. 1. On the waale, nursery stock is in prime condi tion. San Jcse scale was located in 'hree nurseries, but beiieved to be com pletely destroyed. In two instances about 3,000 fruit trees near by, iu lestcd with the pest, were dug up and burned. All trees in neighboring blocks were treated with hydrocyanic acid as seen as dug. Opposition to this work, at first shown by some nursery men, Is now disappearing. Ex. Cattle in Great Britain. The English Board of Agriculture h:is issued a dia gram showing the number of cattle per 1,003 acres in all the countries of Brit fi'in There are in ail England nine :ountlc3 with from 201 to 300 head, and J ten with from lol to -w. onij m.eis Scotch counties reaching ike samo scale.

The manure trom wen ien camu can be used in no better way than by applying it 10 a good vegetable garden, and in time much may be utilized from tho garden to supplement the feeding of the cows. Ex.

JAP1VS GREAT EXiERPRlSE IX AMERICA. LARGE APPROPRIATION BY IM PERIAL DIET. TO IXFORU AMERICANS MOW TO MARIE trA Several months ago, the Japanese Tea Guild sent to this country a special commission, composed of Mr. S. Mit suhashi, president of Shizuoka Prefec tural Assembly, and Mr. J. Ohara.mem ber of Japanese parliament, to investi gate the condition of the Japanese tea trade in the United States and Canada, and to co-operate with Mr. T. Furuya and Mr. T. Mizutany, the American representatives of the Japanese Tea Guild, in giving publicity to the merits of Japanese teas and the method of preparing them for drinking which would Instire the best results. Mr. Furuya and Mr. Mizutany are planning to open tea bazars in many of the principal cities in the United States and Canada, where ladies can enjoy a cup cf fineJapanese tea made by experts, and at the same time re ceive instructions which will enable them to make it equally well at home. More than half the tea consumed in the United States and Canada is of Japanese growth, yet, the majority of Americans apparently do not under stand how to prepare it so as to de velop tho delicious qualities which it contains. It Is believed by these gen tlemen that when Americans are in possession of the secret of making good tea, tho consumption in this country will fully equal that of Europe In pro portion. The Japanese government has appropriated a large fund to aid the Japanese tea growers and tea mer chants in prosecuting this educational work, and it is hoped that American ladies will be apt students. The main bureau of the Japanese Tea Guild has issued an official recipe for making Jap anese tea, the translation of which is as follows: First Use a small.dry and thorough ly clean porcelain teapot. Second Put in one teaspoonful of tea leaves for each cup of tea desired. Third When using Japanese teas, pour on the required quantity of fresh boiled water, and let stand with closed lid from 2 to 3 minutes. Never boll the leaves. In order to retain the nat ural flavor, Japanese tea leaves should be kept in tight can or jar, free from moisture. Note. To thoroughly enjoy the nat ural, delicate, and sweet flavor of Jap anese teas, neither sugar nor cream should be used. It Will stick. Here is a recipe for a paste which will stick anything: Tako two ounces of clear gum arabie, one and a half ounces of fine starch and one-half ounce of white sugar. Dissolve the gum arable in as much water as the laundress would Use for the quantity of starch in diiv.k'd. Mix tho sugar and starch with tho mucilage. Then cook tho ia"tiirc in a -vessel suspended in boil ing water until the starch becomes clear. The cement should bs thick as lar and should be kept so.

The costliness of high speed in rail way trains Is shown by the following statement: At sixty miles an hour the resistance of a train is four times aa great as it Is 'at thirty miles that is, the fuel must be four times as great In the one case as it is in the other. But at sixty miles an hour this fuel must be exerted for a given distance in half the time that it is at thirty miles, so that the amount of power exerted and steam generated, in a given period of time must be eight times as great as the faster speed. This means that the capacity of tto boiler, cylinders and the other parts must be greater with a corresponding addition to the weight of the machine. Almost Inlde Oat.
