Weinhold, of Brookside, Pa., last season raised on 25 acres about 3000 bush- els of ear corn. Many of the ears were over 16 inches in length. —One authority eays the Ben Davis ap- Jie continues to be a favorite only in she rie cities, where thonsauds do nos koow what a good apple is. 18 is best not to cultivate the orchard ground later shan August 1, as the wood must have time to barden and the sap should be encouraged to ran. —Kaneas needs 17,000 additional men $0 haodle she wheat crop this year, accord- ing to an estimate made by Director Harris of the State Employment Bureau. ~The av wheas yield of America is only ahous 14 bushels to the acre, while in Eoglaod the land that bas beea farmed for hundreds of years, averages about 30 hash- els. —A packer declares shat the cost of pick- ing a barrel of apples on very large, high trees is 20 cents a barrel, while on low- headed srees she cost does nos exoeed seven cents. —8. A. Stone, a farmer living near Chil- licoshe, Mo., claims to havea cow that gives an average of 10 gallons of milk every day. Heesays she has to be milked every eight homs. —Electric power companies are being formed in Pennsylvavia aud other Eastern Ssates which are thickly sessled, to sapply light and power to farms. Oae Philadel. phia company is now making oontracte over 8ix counties, ~The country’s honey product for last year is estimated at $25,000 000. There are 7000 bee-keepers in the country and the product of their hives was safficiens to fill a train of oars long enough to reach from New York to Baffalo. —Many alfalfa mills are springiog up in Kausas and other Western States. One Kansas plant hae a capacity of eighs car- loads per day, and pays $50,000 annually for its raw material. Alfalfa meal is now used extensively in the cattle field. —The Forestry Department has turned 300 Angora goats ous on the mountain slopes in the West, in the hope thas they will keep the weeds from growing ou the firebreaks. This work bas been a serious expense and the goats are an experiment. —D. B. Mentzer, a farmer living near Gettysburg, Pa., has sold 30 000 duck eggs since Christmas. His ducks produced 6000 ducklings last spring, and be sold 1800 pounds of feathers taken from the ducks which were killed on the farm daring the pass year. —A horsicnltaral cariosity is to be seen in the garden of Gloucester Lodge, Ports- mouth Road, near London. A gooseberry bush, a currant bush and an elderberry tree are growing high up on a willow tree, to which they bave by some means become grafted. All are flourishing and fruis ie Jorming on the gooseberry and ourrant ushes. —Profits in dairying do not depend #0 much upon the oumber of cows kept, but upon the kind. This fact is being realized more and more as the dairy induetry in- creases. One way to increase the acreage of a farm is to inorease the fertility of she soil of the farm ; similarly, one way to in- orease a dairy herd is to inorease the cows’ producing power. ~—Horses seldom eaffer from d ed teeth, but because of the upper teeth olos- ing on the lower ones a little on she out- e, points are sometimes found which lacerate she cheek or penetrate the gums, creating a tenderness shat prevents the proper mastication of food, annoying the horse so much that he falls away very rapidly. —In testing several breeds of cows the Virginia Experiment Station found tbat pt oe eet, per per month ; ee were second with 4.27. The moss profis- able cow was Buckeye DeKol, who milked 21 months, gave 12,498.4 pounds of milk and 524.24 pounds of buster.

Many girls make oufls to watch and wear them with plain liven and percale waists. Ali the pretty, faded, washed-out dyes continae to be modish. Io fact, nothing else is seen. All the new dresses appear old from a color poius of view, and every woman looks alike as so figure. long and lanky, no hips, no shonlders, and there must be absolutely vo shape to any- thing she wears. This ia graod obio. Fleshy women are caricatures. Bat then thio ooes are, too. The narrow skirt hae bad such a saoccess this year, even though people are making all kinds of tao of is, shat it will surely be carried over iuto antumn modes.

Serge is being used a great deal for dresses, as well az for tailored suits, bas always in the moss severely tailored styles. The material does not encourage embroid- or elaboration in any way, bat it base other merits in excellent wearing qualities and a certain beauty of its own. Linen ia a decided favorite this summer, aud the colored linens are more in demand than the whites. The glazed linen is rare- ly seen and she beautiful delicate shades have taken its place in the wardrobe. Once more the trend of fashion is toward the normal, aod the severe, straight lines of the Empire are slowly but surely disap- ng. This tendency is echoed in many of the filmy, summery lingerie frocks—and is is a tendency Milady should welcome, for after all, there is nothing prettier or more graceful than the waiss-line where Nature intended it to be.

Human Heart as a Power Engine. A great puysician once remarked that, despite its complexity, there was 00 organ of the body readier to adapt itself to circumstances or more capa. bie of repaying ordinary care than the heart. This is very true, and an ap- preciation of that fact should cause us all the more carefully to follow the wise man’s advice and to keep our heart with all diligence. When w.~ have regard to the tremendous work the heart accomplishes we might well manded for a big lift would raise 120 tons of weight one foot high. Such a mined by measuring the force expend- ed in one beat or cycle of movemen of the heart and multiplying the short work into that of day.

Janet had molded the domestic af- fairs of the family with whom she lived for so many years that the news of her intended marriage had much the effect of an earthquake. “Have you and David been engaged long? ventured the mistress of the house- hold. “One week when next Sabbath comes,” stated Janet briefly. “And—and had you any thought of marrying before that?" asked her mis- tress. “Times I had and times I had not,” said the imperturbable Janet, “as any person will. But a month ago when I gave David a wee bit of the cake I'd been making and he said to me, ‘Janet, have you the recipe firm in your mind, lass, so you could make it If Mrs. Mann's book would be far from your reach? I knew well the time was draw. ing short. “And when,” sald Janet, closing hen eyes at the recoliection, “I said to him, ‘David, lad, the recipe is copied in a iittle book of my own. and I saw the glint in his eye I reckoned 'twould be within the month he'd ask me.” Hippo's Mouth an Impressive Sight. The hippopotamus is a sort of float- ing island which inhabits the African rivers. To see a hippopotamus rise out of the water and go away is as discon- certing to the tourist as it would be to see a sand bar get out of the Missouri river and chase a cow. The hippo— life is too short to write his full name —is a big brother of the pig. He weighs five tons, and a gargoyle Is cute and pretty beside him. He is fat and flabby, covered with a reddish skin adorned with bristles and has a broad, flat head as wide as a dinner table. The mouth of the hippo is an- other of nature's African extrava. gances. He has mouth enough to do the eating for a boys’ boarding school. His jaws are very flexible, and those who have gazed into the inner works of a hippo when he has opened his vast pink lined mouth, studded here and there with tusks that look like broken off Grecian columns, have been! impressed with the sight. — Collier's Weekly. How Rats Move Eggs. Strange as the story may appear of rats removing hens’ eggs from the bottom to the top of & house by one rat lying on his back and grasping tightly his ovoid burden with his fore. paws while his comrades drag him away by the tail, I have no reason, writes a naturalist, to disbelieve it. I have seen two rats accomplish the feat from stair to stair in a farm- house in Banffshire, the first anxious rodent pushing the egg up on its hind legs and the second assistant lifting it up with its fore legs. It was the best athletic feat I ever witnessed, but it is not out of the common. The rat will ertract the contents from a flask of Florence oil, dipping in his long tail ard repeating the maneuver until he has consumed all that can be reached. His Mistake.
