MUy Tara Night lata Day.
New Orleans architect has advanc-
the novel idea that within the next
years the people of every large
ipo city will do most of their
sleeping by day. The reason of this
is thl increasing cheapness of artifi-
cial light find the peculiar climatic con-
ditions of the south, which make the
night the coolest and most comfortable
time to work, the author of this idea
claims that darkness is one. of the
farces of nature against which civili-
zation wages war; that it facilitates
crime and Impedes travel and “puts
arbitrary limits on human exertion.“

fUakM Hare No fatclurtlai Power.
Naturalists are'not at all agreed up-
on the point as to whether snakes are
able to fascinate their prey. Certainly
they do not possess the power to the
extent that popular belief would have
it. Stories of the weird and mystic
influence of a serpent’s eye fall flat in
the face of scientific accuracy. What
can be said of snakes, however, is that
their very appearances paralyzes the
victim. It cannot move for fright, for
its faculties are temporarily suspended.
There is no fascination about this,
however.. It Is fright and fright alone.

Very strange to the Coreans is their
•new electric railway. They think that
the overhead wires draw the trains
along. Coreans wearing funeral hats
have to pay treble fare. The hats are
about two feet high and are very much
in the way. The railway company does
not look kindly on funeral hats.

Artichoke* for Swlae.
Bulletin 100, Department of Agricul-
ture: For winter and early spring
there is no better crop than artichokes,
which give a rich, fresh feed Just at
the time when grasses and clovers are -
at their poorest. There are few crop*
which can be more easily grown ou any
fairly good soil which will give a
greater amount of green feed per acre
and be more valuable for both grow-
ing and fattening animals. They
should be planted in drills like Irish
potatoes,' the seed being cut in the
same manner, and about the samo
amount being used per sere. Two cul-
tivations will usually be sufficient to
keep the ground mellow and free from
weeds until the plants are so tall a3
to shade the ground, after which no
further working is needed. The tubbrs
do not fofm until late in the season,
and in this latitude are rarely matured
before the 1st of December.-Even thesi
they are not relished as well as tber
are later, and as they keep well In the
ground until late in the spring, it ie «
usually better to save them for Janu-
ary and February grazing, after the
sweet potatoes, peanuts, and other
crops are gone. Although the arti-
chokes will make a volunteer growth
from the scattering tubers left in the
ground,- such a crop can not be culti-
vated, and will be so choked by weeds
and dwarfed by the hard ground that
the yield will be small. It pays well
to plow and replant the crop each sea-
son. even though it Is planted on the
same ground. Many object to arti-
chokes for fear they will become *
troublesome weed, but there is no dan-
ger from that source. If the young
plants are plowed or even hoed o*'
well in midsummer after the old tubers
are exhausted and before the new ones
ere formed, they will be killed.. The
' yield is variable—from 406 to 89*
y bushels per ac?e—and its feeding m!«e
is fully equaF to that of other root
^ $*ops. In sqthe recent tests at the
Oregon station hogs which were given
the run of an artichoke field, and were
also given a partial feed of grain, made
a gain of 1 pound in weight for each
3.1 pounds of grain fed, while it usual-
ly takes about 5 pounds of grain to
make l pound of .gain. In tests made
at the Missouri Agricultural College L
bushel of artichokes and 3 bushels oC
corn were found superior to 4 bushels
of corn, and other tests have given
similar results, the inexpensive gain
in weight is not the only advantage in
using artichokes, as the better health
consequent on adding to the ration this
fresh and succulent feed is a matter
of great importance, especially in anl-

It appears ‘that electricity is -‘to .be
flsed in killing whales. A dynamo is
to be placed on a whaling ship. A big
reel of insulated wire will be carried in
a boat when a whale is sighted. One.
end of the wire is connected with the
dynamo and at the other end will be
a hard rubber stick attached to a piece
of jnetal twenty-four Inches long and
one inch in diameter, sharpened at the
end to penetrate the flesh of the whale.
When near the big fish the harpooner
will throw the barb. When it strikes
the whale a connection will be formed
with the dynamo, the whale will get
the shock of ten thousand volts and
w ill be dead in a second. / ’

^ .The Origin of “Tipfc” • ‘ .
Few people know’ cbe origin of the
word “tip.’’ It comes from the old
coffee" houses, of which, I believe,
Offley’s, in Henrietta ^street, Covent
Garden, was the last survivor. " At the
dcor of these- coffee houses was a box
made usually of brass, with lock and
key. It has engraved upon it the let-
ters “T. 1.. p.” (observe the stops be-
tween each letter), ‘ To insure prompt-
ness.” Customers, as they passed out,
dropped a coin in for the waiters.'
Hence the word “’tip.”—London;Globe.

, in smell and dull In color. The pres-
ence of dust in oats proves that they
have been bauly saved, and that their
quality has undergone more or leas de-
terioration. A shriveled-up condition
is also a sign of inferiority. With a
glump variety of oats, if the grain*
feel heavy vn the hand, rattle more or
less like shot when poured out, re-
bound when they fall on wood or other
hard objects; and show no tendency
to stick together, our good opinion of
their nutritive value and sound condi-
tion will he still further confirmed?
The p.umper, more rounded, and _-av
ier oats are, the higher will be their
market value.’ Thinness of husk wilt
also enhance the price as a rule. Th$*
cost of white cats, probably on account
of their cleaner and more pleasing ap-
pearance, is higher than that of either
black or tiwny oats. Old oats are sold
at about 15 per cent more than new
oats. The term “old” is applied :o oats

Sorghum m Feed.
This is my first year of feeding sor-
ghum, and’I find it splendid feed for
all kinds of stock, and with fortjr
years’ experience in raising different
kinds of feed, I have found nothing
that will give so large an amount of
feed to the acre, says a contributor to
Home and Farm. Pastures were short,
and I began feeding it to my cows
In August, cut and fed -on th%
grass in the pasture. I never had my
cows do better. I grew two acres and
cut and cured what was left, and am
now feeding it to my cows and horses.
I sold a litter of Durockpigs the first of
November that were 192 days old and
weighed 196 pounds average, a little
over a pound a day from birth.
“These pigs were weaned July 1, and
fed nothing but skimmed milk from
the creamery and sorghum for tww
months, and then were put on full
corn feed with what sorghum they
would eat till November 10, whet they
were sold.
