FARM NOTES.

grasshoppers and other and he is

in connection with grain satisfactory
gains are made. The meat produced is of
very good quality.
—Skim milk in moderate quantities has
often been fed to young colts after wean-
ing with good results. If the colt has
been well cared for up to weaning time
feeding milk is hardly necessary.
—If the cow's teats are made sore from
exposure to cold weather and wet in the
late fall weather, an application of car-
bonized vaseline after each milking will
remedy the trouble, if used when it first
appears.
—In limestone country there is more
danger of pollution of springs and wells
than where any other rock formation
prevails. The reason is that the lime-
stone is the most readily dissolved and
open under-ground channels are formed
which may carry contaminating material
along distance. If on the other hand
polluted water percolates through gravel
or sandstone for instance, it becomes
MIGHTY ARCTURUS.
if This Star Were Our Sun It Would
Instantly Consume the Earth.
The parallax of a star Is Ita angular
displacement as seen from two 0p:
posite points un the earth’s orbit. The
base line employed in this gigantic spe-
cles of surveying Is 186400,000 miles
fn length, but the calculation is re.
duced to the semidiameter of the orbit.
The results are at the same time amas.
ing and instructive.
Let us take the famous star Aree
turus, often called the “star of Job”
because in the Old Testament the
Almighty Is represented as saying to
the unfortunate patriarch. who main.
tains a certain dignity In spite of his
helplessness nud his sufferings, “Canst
thou call forth Arcturus nnd his sons?”
Many contlicting messures of the
parallax of Arcturus have been made,
but the Intest made at Yale seem more
probably correct than their predeces-
sors. They fix the parallax at 0.066
seconds—1. e.. sixty-six one-thousandth
of a second of arc. From this it is
easy to calculate the distance of the
star. It comes ont at nearly 290,000,
000,000,000 miles (two hundred and
ninet: trillion miles), This is more
than 000,000 times the distance of
the «arth from the sun.
Having this distance, we can calcu-
late the actual amount of light shed by
purified in a comparatively short distance
from the point of contamination.
—Bulletin No. 11 of the Minnesota
Farmers’ Library, just issued by the Ex-
tension Division of the College of Agri-
culture, is devoted to “Dressing and Cur-
ing Meat for Farm Use” It contains
very complete but simple directions for
killing and cutting up of beeves, hogs,
sheep and calves; also forcuring and
packing beef and pork, the smoking of
and bacon, and the making of sau-
sage; together with suggestions for the
forming of co operative meat clubs. A
postal card, addressed to Extension Divi-
sion, University Farm, St. Paul, will se-
cure the mailing of the bulletin to any
one wanting it. :
—Consul General Peters, of Munich,
says the German method of making sweet
pr oh is most simple. The apples, as soon
as picked, are forwarded to the factory,
where they are washed absolutely clean.
They are then torn into small particles
and pressed. The juice is then placed in
a large air-tight retort, where it is steril-
ized; it is then allowed to settle for some
days and then filtered, so that the juice
is absolutely transparent. The juice is
then bottled, a slight amount of carbonic
acid gas is added and a space of about an
inch left in the bottle to allow for an ex-
pansion. The bottles are placed in a car,
and this car with its load of bottles is
urized, the process taking about
hours, the water in the retort being
heated to from 150 to 158 degrees, abso-
lutely des ng all the germ life that
may exist. e pure apple juice thus
treated contains one-half per
cent. of alcohol and is a most delicious
drink, retaining all the flavor of the pure
apple cider. |
—Domestic fowls are beneficial to farm- |
ers in devouring insects, and, besides
that are injurious to crops

ve been taken from the crop of one
Arcturus, or, in other words, its ac-
tual brightness as compared with that
of our sun, on the supposition that
both were at the same distance from
us. We thus find that Arcturus ex-
ceeds the sun as a light giver about
2500 times! It is a sun 2,500 times
brighter than ours.
Put the earth as uegr to Arcturus
as it is to the sun and all life would
disappear from Its surface as if swept
off by a blast of inconceivable heat.
The summer temperature would rise
to tens of thousands of degrees. The
oceans would boil away. Vegetation
would be burned up in a twinkling.
The eyes of living beings would char
in their sockets. The plains and
mountains would burst into flame.
Minerals would run in molten streams.
There would be no comfort for a liv-
ing world nearer to Arcturus than
about 4,000,000000 miles. If he hae
planets he must keep them at a re
spectful distance. And yet nearly
300,000,000,000,000 miles from him we
can look into his blazing eye and see
only a bright star.
Still, Dr. Alfred Russel Wallace
maintains that this little earth, this
tiny attendant of a tiny sun, Is the
only seat of intelligent lite—outside of
the misty midregion of disembodied
spirits—that the universe contains,
and Dr. Wallace is a learned man. But
his learning is not that which astron-
omy offers.—Garrett P, Serviss in New
York American.

A certain king, says a tale from the
Persian, asked an astrologer, “How

Getting Into German.
In the use of legal terms the Ger-
man lawyer's gain in a saving of
| number of words over our equivalent
expressions seems to be lost in multi-
plication of syllables in the words used
{ by him. For example, he says “Zu-
| ruckbehaltungsrecht” for “right of

' kelten” for “liabilities of common prop-
erty.” What an awful word he must

SHE SNUBBED MONROE.
Incident In the Later Life of Mra.
Alexander Hamilton.
A striking Incident in the later life
of Mrs. Alexander Hamilton, who sur
vived her busband fifty years, is told
in the wonix of an eyewitness in Al-
lan McLane Hamilton's “Intimate Life
of Alexander Hamiiton.”
Mrs. Hamilton could never forget the
behavior of Monroe when he, with
Muhlenberg and Venables, accused
Hamilton of financial irregularities at
the time of the Reynolds incident.
Many years afterward when they were
both aged people Monroe visited her,
and an interview occurred which was
witnessed by a nephew, “who was then
a lad of fifteen. “1 had,” he says,
“been sent to cal! upon my Aunt Ham-
{iton one afternoon. I found her in
her garden and was there with her
talking when a maidservant came
from the house with a card. It was
the card of James Monroe. She read
the name and stood holding tke card,
much perturbed. Her voice sank, and
she spoke very low as she always did
when she was angry. ‘What has that
man come to see me for? escaped
from her. ‘Why, Aunt Hamilton,’ said
1. ‘don't you know it's Mr. Monroe,
and he's been president, and he is vis-
iting here now in the neighborhood
and has been very much made of and
invited everywhere, and so—I suppose
he has come to call and pay his re-
spects to you? After a moment's hes-
ftation ‘I will see him,’ she said.
“The maid went back to the house.
My aunt followed. walking rapidly, 1
after her. As she entered the parlor
Monroe rose. She stood in the middle
of the room facing him. She did not
ask him to sit down. He bowed and,
addressing her formally, made her
rather a set speech—that it was many
years since they had met, that the
lapse of time brought its softening in-
fluences, that they both were nearing
thé grave, when past differences could
be forgiven and forgotten—in short,
from his point of view a very nice,
concilintory, well turned little speech.
She answered, still standing and look-
ing at him: ‘Mr. Monroe, if you have
come to tell me that you repent, that
you are sorry, very sorry, for the mis-
representations and the slanders and
the stories you circulated against my
dear husband—if you have come to say
this. 1 understand it. But otherwise
no lapse of time, no nearness to the
grave, makes any difference.’ She
stopped speaking. Monroe turned, took
up his hat and left the room.”
In this connection it may be said
that the oft repeated story of the
meeting of Mrs. Hamilton and Aaron
Burr many years later on an Albany
steamboat is a fiction, but it was prob-
ably suggested by the Monroe incident.
Hanged For Stealing Golf Balls.
Some sharp punishment has lately
been meted out to men convicted of
golf ball stealing, and one boy was
sentenced to six strokes with the
birch. The offenders, however, may
congratulate themselves that they live
in a merciful age.
in 1637 at an assize in Banff a lad
of the town, having confessed to steal
Ing a few trifles, including some golf
balls, was actually hanged for the of-
tense. The indictment ran that he
was “ane lewd liver and boy of ane
evill Iyiff, and conversation, and ane
daylie remainer fro the kirk in tyme
of dyvyne worschip.”” The humane
judges “ordanit the said Francis to be
presentlie tackit and cariet to the Gal-
lows hill of this burgh and hangit on
the gallows thereof to the death." —

lilusions of Life.
Life is like a beautiful and winding
lane—on either side bright flowers and
beautiful butterflies and tempting
fruits, which we scarcely pause to ad-
mire and to taste, so eager are we to
hasten to an opening which we imag-
{ne will be more beautiful still. But
by as we advance the trees
grow bleak, the flowers and butterflies
fail, the fruits disappear, and we find
we have arrived—to reach a desert
waste.—G. A. Sala.

The Grip This Dreadful Disease Takes
«remedy I required, removing my trouble
Upon Its Victims.
The course of the dreadful disease,
sleeping sickness, is an extremely slow
one. The first stage is said to last a
year or more, and the cause of the dis-
ease may be in the blood long before
any symptoms whatever present them-
selves, The patient has occasional
fever: indeed, a disease hitherto called
Gambia fever has recently been recog-
nized as the first stage of sleeping
sickness. It Is said that the swelling
of the lymphatic glands of the neck is
a characteristic carly symptom. This
was known in 1803 to Dr. Winterbot-
tom, who states that slave traders,
recognizing the symptom of a fatal
disease, would not buy slaves who had
this glandular enlargement. The pa-
tient feels well and strong and is able
to go about his usual occupations.
The second stage is indicated by a
distinct change in the appearance of
the patient. His expression grows
heavy and dull; he becomes apathetic,
lies around a great deal and cannot
exert himself. With the progress of
the disease these symptoms become
more marked; walking and speech be-
come difficult and finally impossible.
During the last week the sufferer lies
in a state of complete coma, from
which the illness derives its name.
Often during the second stage of the
disease the brain becomes affected,
and some of the patients try to run’
away into the forests or swamps,
where they die of exposure or starva-
tion. To prevent this the relatives of
a sufferer frequently chain him down |
until the time comes when he can no
longer move.—McClure's Magazine.
Some Famous Men of Old.
The “nine worthies” were Joshua, |
David, Judas Maccabeus, Hector of!
Troy, Alexander the Great, Jullus,
Caesar, King Arthur of Britain, Charle- |
magne of France and Godfrey of Bou-
fllon. The list varies somewhat, but
this is the most popular one. The
“geven wise men of Greece” were So- |
lon, Thales, Pittacus, Blas, Cleobolus,
Myson and Chellon of Sparta. The
supposition is, of course, that these
were not the only wise men in Greece, !
but the wisest.—New York American. |
To Make Him Sleep.
«Unfit for duty because of insom-
nla” was the record of a New York |
policeman for several weeks. :
Inspector Byrnes sent for the man |
and gave him a little bit of advice, |
thus: “Tonight, about midnight, put |
on your uniform, belt, bat, revolver, !
take night stick in hand and go to
some corner house. Lean against it, and |
lean against it hard, as If you were |
really on duty. You'll go to sleep, all
right.”—New York Tribune. {

Why will people continue to suffer
the agonies of kidney complaint, back-
ache, urinary disorders, lameness
headaches, languor, why allow them-
selves to become chronic invalids,
when a certain cure is offered them?
Doan's Kindey Pills is the remedy
to use, because it gives to the kidneys
the help they need to perform their
work.
If you have any, even one, of the
symptoms of kidney diseases, cure
yourself now, before diabetes, dropsy
of Bright's disease sets in. Read this
Bellefonte testimony:
William E. Haines Sunny Side St., Belle-
fonte, Pa., says: “The public statement
that I gave in favor of Doan's Kidney
Pills some years ago still holds good, as
the cure they effeated in my case has been
permanent. In 1890 I began to suffer
from a lameness in my back, accompan-
ied by a dull, lingering ache in my loins
that made it hard for me to attend to my
work. I did not rest welland I was ata
loss to know what to do. After trying a
number of remedies without being bene-
fited I learned of Doan'’s Kidney Pills and
got abox. They proved to be just the
in a short time. I have been fully con-
vinced of the curative powers of this prep-
