Hypnotic Power In Animalo.
An Interesting Instance of the hyp
notle power possessed by a good many
animals is given by a corres|>ondeiit of
the Glasgow llernid. One morning out-
aide Elgin a blackbird was observed to
be standing by the roadside, [mylng no
heed to the footsteps of tlie passerby.
. It was gazing fixedly at four young
weasels under tlie hedge, which were
approaching In n semicircle, apparently
to Surround it. Just then a warning
cry was heard from behind, uttered
presumably by the parent weasel, and
the young ones disappeared in the
hedge. The bird still remained power-
lids and immovable, nnd only after re-
treated urging did it fly to a tree near
by. whan It gave forth « weak, fright-
etiPd sound, as though still tinder the
Influence of the terror /which had ar-
rested Its faculties.

First Legislative Assembly Met at
Jamestown, Va., In 1619.
Tbc first representative legislative
assembly ever held lu America con-
vened at Jamestown, Va., in July, 1619,
a year before Uie pilgrims landed at
Plymouth and a decade before the
Massachusetts Bay colony was begun
It consisted of the governor, Sir George
Yeardiey, his council, two burgesses
elected by each of the eleven incorpo-
rated plantations. Tlie assembly sat in
tlie cbanccl of the little church where
five years before Pocahontas bad been
married fo John Rolfe. John Twine,
the clerk of the assembly, says in tils
official report:
"The most convenient place wv
eoulde fitide to sltt In was the quirt
of the church where Sir George Yeard
ley, the goyentour, being sett down in
his accustomed place, those of tin
eotiusel of estate sate nexte biui on
both hiindes, excepte onely the score

right before hint, John Twine, clerkt
of l lie general assembly, being placed
nexte the speaker, and Thomas Tierse
ibe sergeant, standing at the barre. U
lie ready for any service the assembly
should require. But forasmuch" at
men’s affairs doe little prosiier where
God's service is neglected, all the bur
gesses took their (daces in the quire
till a prayer was said by Mr. Bucke
the minister, that It would please God
to guide ami sanetifie all our proceed

Doss the Air CrackT
Professor A. \V. Porter explained ia
the course of a lecture that lightning
cracks the air and that the visible
form of the flash follows the crack. Il
might be thought that the air was nol
a likely thing to crack, said Profeasoi
Porter, but neither was cobbler’s wax

F<HM> QUESTION.

It's not an easy matter to satisfy
all the members of the family at
n.^al time, a?: ©wry houseivire
k noils.
And when the husband car.'k eat
ordinary food without causing
trouble, the food question becomes
doubly annoying.v
An Illinois woman writes:
My husband's health was poor,
lie had no appetite for anything
could get for him, it seemed.
"He suffered severely with stom-
ach trouble, vfas hardly able to
work, was taking medicine continu-
ally. and ns apon as he would feel
better would go to work again only
Ro give up in a few weeks.
One day, seeing an advertise-
ment about Grape-Nuts, I got some
and he tried it for breakfast the
next morning.
’Wc all thought it was pretty
good although we had no idea of
using it regularly. But when my
husband came home at night he
asked for Grape-Nuts.
"It was the same next day and 1
had to get it right along, because
when we would get to the table the
question ‘Have you any Grape-
Nuts. was a regular thing.
“My husband’s health , began to
improve right along. I sometimes
felt offended when I’d make some-
thing I thought he would like for a
change, and still hear the same old
question, ‘Have you any Grape-
Nuts?'’
He got so well that for the last
two years he hws hprdiy lost a day
from his work, and we are still
using Grape-Nuts.”

USB YOUR "WHITE COAL,"
Down la the hollow beck of
your barn there may be thou-
sands of tone of "white eoel” If
you are keen enough to see it
And that "eoel” may be worth a
good deal more than a dollar a
ton If you are clever enough to
convert it Into manifold utllltlee.
It ie the cleanest and most de-
pendable *’coar in the world.
For ages poets have raved about
it. calling It “purling brook" or
"rippling stream'' or "sweetly
murmuring rivulet." Practical
men have done a bit more than
rave about these lovely water-
courses. They have harnessed
the ripples and gentle murmurs
and have brought them as light
and power to the barns and ma-
chinery sheds to the farm wife's
kitchen, giving comforts and ad-
vantages undreamed of a genera-
tion ago.
If yon have any water power
An your farm put it to work.
Though it he a trifling little
brook capable of developing only
one horsepower, put it to work.
If you do not you are neglecting
thousands of tons of “white
coal” that the restless, everflow-
Ing waters have iteen trying to
tell ua of for centuries. You
can do this at a negligible ex-
pense. For the cost of one fairly
good farm horse you can com-
mand the power of two horses
on your farm day and night-
two hydro-eleetrlc horses that
eat not, neither do they sleep,
nor grow lame, nor develop ills
that require the costly services
of a veterinarian.—Country Gen-

LESSON IN FOOD SUPPLY.
When Farm Yield* Family’s Nseds the
Chances Favor the Farmer.
The south la not the only section of
the country where concentration upon
a single cash crop lias tended to make
farming more of a gamble than a
sound business. A case has recently
been reported to specialists in the
United States department of agricul-
ture of a North Dakota wheat farmer
who having run badly in debt applied
for a loan of (1,000. He had nothing,
whatsoever on his place except the
horses required in the wlientfleld.
There was not a cow, a pig or even a
chicken, no vegetable garden—nothing
whatsoever with which to support the
family.
Before he could get his (1,000 he was
compelled by the banker to whom he
applied to agree to use a portion of
the loan to purchase two cows, a half
dozen pigs and a small flock of poul-
try, besides undertaking to maintain
a fair sized vegetable garden. The
banker had figured that with this
equipment the farmer could get along
even In poor grain seasons without
running further into debt and that in
good years the profits from his grain
would be sufficient gradually to repay
the loan.
This reasoning proved correct, for in
five years the money had been paid
back. The farmer has learned his les-
son, and his farm continues to supply
his family with food as well as with
cash.

PROPER FOODS FOR HENS.

Production of Eggs.
fPrrparrd by tba United State* depart-
ment of agriculture.)
In order to obtain eggs it is neces-
sary to have healthy, vlgorouo stock
and to supply proper food materials.
These are nitrogenous material or pro-
tein, non-nltrogenons matter, succu-
lents, mineral matter and water. Na-
ture provides the first in the form of
worms and bugs and wben these are
absent or present lu Insufficient quan-
tity. the poultryman supplies the same
sort of food by giving eggs, meat
(green cut boDe or beef scrap), milk or
cottage cheese. For tlie non-nitroge-
nous material nature furnishes seeds
and the farmer gives wheat, oats, corn
barley, etc. For succulents the fowls
in a natural atate find them in grass
and other green growing things. The
(toultryinau puts before his charges let-
tuce, cabbage, kale, mangels, alfalfa,
clover, sprouted oats, etc. In their nat-
ural state fowla find grit for themselves
and tbq cultivated varieties get grit
and oyster shells. Water, of course,
must be pure.
A splendid mixture for laying bens
Is equal parts of cracked corn, wheat
and oats, which should be scattered In
tbe litter.
Bran or middlings and beef scraps
should tie kept in receptacles to which
tbe fowls have access at all times.
Plenty of exercise Increases tba egg
yield.
Provide four or five inches of good,
clean litter in which to scatter the
grain.
When wet mashes are fed be sure
they are crumbly and not sticky.
For the first three days chicks may
be fed a mixture of equal parts hardj
boiled eggs nnd stale bread, or stale
bread soaked in milk. When bread
and milk are used care should be ex-
ercised to squeeze ail milk out of the
bread. From tbe third or fourth day j
until the chicks enn eat wheat, and
cracked corn, commercial chick feed
is a good ration. £**-
Plenty of pure, fresh water, grit,
shell and green feed should be avail-
able from the first day.
There Is very little danger of over-
feeding young stock.
Feed the chickens about five times

Years ago a pine tree grew near some
fiax iq a field. The pine tree and tbe
flax were very dear to each other.
One day an oak that stood uear by
dally and only what they will eat up] said to the flax: "Why are you so fond
to carry far more thau under ordinary
circumstances. The device is illustrat-
ed lu tbe accompanying cut. It is
made of a frame of three pieces of
2 by 4 inch material, which could lie
pulled out of the rear end of tbe bed
and extend tbc support for the load by
several feet. When the extension is
not in use it is pushed up against the
end of tbe wagon bottom, ns'lt is made

Beaus and peas, being legumes, do
not require very heavy applications of
nitrogen. Abont 500 pounds an acre
of a 2-8-10 mixture are usually suffi-
cient
Tjmatoes. eggplants and peppers
must not be supplied With an over-
abundance of free nitrogen for the
same reason, Potash should be nigh.
With the cucurbits also an excess of
nitrogen is to l>e avoided. The min-
eral elements are most important. Ma-_
nures applied in tbe hills well In ad-
vance of planting are of decided value.
Asparagus and rhubarb speud the
latter part of tbe summer in gathering
material for the next season's crop.
Manure is usually applied Jn the fail
and commercial fertilizers after tlie
close of the cutting season.
Sweet corn does nowhere so well as
on sod ground. Applications of com-
mercial fertilizer need not exceed 500
to 1,000 pounds.
Onions respond readily to heavy ap
plications of complete fertilizers.
Root crops are nowhere grown to
better advantage than on heavily ma-
nured market garden soils.

Old and Nsw Silage.
Fnrmer O. W. Righter of Indiana re-
ports that he placed well matured corn
In a concrete silo fourteen years ago
nnd emptied the bottom of the silo last
.Tilly, says tbe American Cultivator.
Mr. Righter says that the only differ-
eni’e that he was able to detect be-
tween the fourteen and tbe one-year-
old silage was that tbe former was
slightly more agjd than the latter, but
that the cattle areetbe old and new si-
lage alike. A very1 Important fact in
eonnsetion with the silage keeping so
well is that the eor,n was ripe when
It was place.) in the silo. Incidentally
the silo was a homemade one, the base
of which was five feet below tbe sur-
face of the ground line. Such a con-
struction with mature-corn well pack-
ed would almost always preserve good
silage for several years.
Experiments With Wheat.
According to a report of rotation ex-
periments conducted by tbe Australian
government, wheat grown continuously
on the same land for six years pro-
duced an average yield of 16.C bushels
per acre, wheat alternated annually
with bare fallow averaged 24.8 bushels,
nnd wheat alternated annually with a
fodder crop averaged 20.4 bushels.

Keep lu uiind the fact that tbe In-
herited quality of heavy laying must
come from ;edigreed breeding and par-
tleularly through the cock bird that is
the sou, grandson,’etc., of a Une of
heavy layers.
Provide the flock with a dust bath
snd apply the following homemade
powder: To one part of crude carbolic
arid and three parts of gasoline add
enough plaster of parts to take up tbe
liquid nnd mix thoroughly. Spread out
and let dry. If it is too lumpy ruu
through a sieve. Store away iu tight
cans. Work (well into the feathers,
especially in fluff and under the wings.
Repeat in ten days and make a thor-

To tell old heus from young ones
note that (lie young ones are most apt
to haro brighter eyes, redder combs
and smoother legs. They never have
spurs, while old ones do, and the old
heps move about more slowly.
Hens adapt tbeir methods of brood-
ing to conditions such as temperature,
size of the chickens, wet weather, etc.,
and the operator of brooder must meet
these conditions. '
Any of our American breeds make
good setting hens, but there is no
breed that excels all others lu the num-
ber of its broodies. As a rule, tbe
heaviest winter layers are the earliest
broody.
Leghorns hatched in March and April
should be laying in August, September,

of tbe pine? Ho is a great tree, and
some day soon ho will leave you."
But tbe pine bade tbe fiax uot to
heed the oak's words, nnd tbe two
grew more chummy every day.
Not lotig after a man came to tbs
forest and choppeed the pine tree down
and carried It away.
The flax wept, while the oak looked
down in pity and cried :
“l knew It would be so. You wilt
never see each other agalu.” v
Did the pine tree ever see tho flax
again?
Listen, and I will tell you the eud of
the story ns a little bird brought jt to
me. The (line was made in a mast for
a ship. The flax was woven into a
great sail, .vs luck would have it. that
very sail was fastened to that very
pine mast, and away went the ship
over the vast sen. As the wind flew
tbe flaxen sail whispered words of love
to the mast, and the comrades went
happily together over life's ocean.

President Wilson to Bey Scouts.
There is one rule in the world, and it
applies to all professions; that Is. that
you are expected to make good. No ex
euses are allowed Hi this school of life.
The only way to make good is to keep
faith. That Is the reason I like the idea
of the boy scouts—It gives tbem some
notion of their being responsible to so-
ciety. They are responsible to the peo-
ple who live around tbem, to bell'
maintain tbe standards of order and of
fidelity, which are the ouly things that
hold absolutely together.
You arc recruits ill the ranks that we
all stand In—of those who try to serve
tbe country in some way that will tell
and that has nothing particularly to do
with our personal benefit. A man win,
devotes himself to the development of
tyfes own character will succeed in noth-
ing except making n prig; but tf lie de-
votes himself to helping other people
his character will not only take cure ot
itself, but it will grow to a very uoblt
stature.
