Trie Oyster.
The sentiment which annually greets
the return of the oyster from its sum
mer vacation may uot be of ou esthetic
sort, but certainly it is as remote a?
possible from mercenary considerations
of commerce. And yet the oyster not
only stands for a great delicacy, hut foi
a great Industry that will in time be
vastly greater. It is shown by Gov
ernment statistics, for instance, that of
the 3!">,000,000 bushels of oysters con
sumed throughout the world each year
30,000,000 bushels are supplied by the
United States, and that the oyster fish
ery excels any other fishery in impor
tance. Add to this that the industry
is especially Important in the States of
New Jersey and Maryland—the latter
alone producing one-third of the world's
crop—and it will be seen that there are
special reasons why Philadelphia
should be cordial t:> the oyster, and
should greet its advent with a degree of
effusiveness not extended to any other
thing in the edible list with the possi
hie exception of the Thanksgiving tur
key.—Philadelphia Record.

Eyes Not Necessary.
Eyes are popularly considered to be
quite necessary to sight, but this Is an
error, If wc are to believe Dr. Nagel,
a recent German experimenter. Many
creatures without eyes can see; at
least they can distinguish perfectly
well between light and darkness and
even between different degrees of
light. This is the lowest degree of see
ing, to be sure, but still it is really
sight, and differing scarcely more from
the vision of some insects that possess
eyes than this does from our own clear
sight.
Creature? that see without eyes see
by means of their skins. All skins, says
Dr. Nagel, are potential eyes; that is,
they are sensitive to light. In animals
that have eyes the sensitiveness has
been highly localized and greatly in
creased—so that man, for instance, has
a retina very sensitive to light, and an
expanse of ordinary skin which pos
sesses a sensitiveness to light so slight
that it is hardly conscious of it. Yet
his skin is sensitive in some degree,
as Is proved by the fact that it sunburns
—that Is, light may cause a disturb
ance in the pigment of the skin just
as it does in that of the eye. In the
eye the disturbance is accompanied by
a nervous change, which sends a tele
graphic message along the optic nerves,
and there are messages, also, but their
tidings imprint no image on the mind;
they simply express discomfort—cry
out "sunburn."
But in many eyeless creatures the
lack of eyes Is in part made up by in
creased sensitiveness of the whole skin
surface to light. Darwin long ago no
ticed that earth worms, although they
have no eyes, will suddenly withdraw
Into their holes at tlie approach of a
lighted candle. Some creatures seem
most sensitive to sudden increase of
light; others to sudden diminution.
A Home-Grown Experience.

An abrupt and impetuous hired man
closed and locked the door and went
away. The next day was Sunday and
the hired man did not come back.
While the man who yearned to coo)
off waited for the return of the hired
man his object was accomplished in a
very thorougli manner. He cooled off
The muffled door gave back but
echoes to his blows, and his voice could
find no place to escape and sound the
alarm.
When he grew tired of walking and
swinging his arm to keep warm the
chunks of ice that were piled around
him did not offer a tempting bed. Hun
gor gnawed at his vitals and refused to
bo satisfied with dint of raw air. Dark
ness settled down like a six months'
Arctic night, and the only sound which
broke the profound stillness was the
man who wanted to cool off trying to
Bwear.
The hired man opened the door on
Monday morning, and the man who
wanted to cool off crawled out more
dead than alive.
When his tongue had thawed out lie
began to abuse the hired man.
"Fool!" retorted the hired man.
"Fool, you are a lucky dog and do not
know it. Don't waste your time ID
abusing me, your benefactor, but go

llemlock Timber on the Farm.
The wider acquaintance the lumber
buyer or consumer has with different
varieties of woods—with their pecu
liarities of strength, durability, work
able qualities, etc.—the more econo
mically he will buy. Having such
knowledge, 110 will find sometimes
that the more costly articlo is really
the cheaper, or he may find that the
cheap articles may, for certain rea
sons, be as satisfactory as the more
expensive one with which he is ac
quainted.
To the farmer hemlock, which is a
comparatively new material in the
West, should appeal with special force
because of its peculiar adaptability for
certain classes of construction com
biued with cheapness. It is actually
better for some things than white
pine, aud yet can be had at a much
lower price. It is better for some
things than yellow pine—better, in
fact, for corn-cribs than any other
material.
Hemlock has the advantage of being
both strong and stiff; that is, it is
capable of bearing u heavy strain and j
of not yielding to it until the breaking-1
point is closely approached; therefore,
for farming material it is uuexcelled.
For mud-sills and in situations where
it is subject to alterations of moisture
and dryness hemlock is found ex
tremely desirable. Therefore, to a
large part of farm building construc
tion it is peculiarly well adapted.
In sections of lowa where it has
been thoroughly tried hemlock is
given the preference for barn con
struction. It is a little late in the
season to talk about corn-crib material,
and yet the attention of the farmers
should bo called to the fact, supported
by much irrefutable evidence, that
rats and mice will not attack hemlock,
and so cribs built of it are rat and j
mouse proof, except as tho rodents
may find their way through openings
into cribs. They will not make an
opening, however, and this fact should
commend it for this purpose to the 1
farmers.—The Lumberman.
Fence Corners ami Thickets.
Fence corners that are allowed to
grow np in dense brush and sprout
growth bespeak the lack of energy and
push in tho man whose farm it is.
At this time of the year such fence
corners may be cut out and made to
look like the fence corners of the
twentieth century farmer. Rail fences
which run through dense wood are
tho hardest to keep clear of brush.
When there is no snow 011 the ground
two men with a brush scythe and axes
and pitchfork can dispose of the brush
very speedily. Of course, this simply
clears it away for a short season; in
the spring the young branches come
out, and by fall make strong sprouts
again. Rut tho treatment has to bo
given each winter else the sprouts and
brush will be more stubborn than at
first. And on most farms there are
several small or perhaps large hol
lows, on either side of which Is a
heavy growth of brush. In t?:e man
ner above described this may be ex
terminated. If the land near the hol
low be rolling, and therefore liable to
wash, the brush when out should be
piled in the mouth of the
ditch so as to catch the dirt
and trash that, may bo washed therein.
This will in the course of a few years
entirely fill up the ditch. If the sides
of the hollow are not too uneven, a
plow may be used on them to good
advantage in tho spring. A new
ground plow, with a sharp nutter at
tached and a steady team, should be
used. Plow pretty deep, so as to root
out the roots. After plowing give
the ground n thoroughharrowiug with
a large-tooth harrow. Tho "A" har
row is what I use. Tho harrowing
will get most of the roots near the
surface and scatter them, after which
gather them and put in piles, and when
dry set fire to them. This does the
work admirably. A lasting carpet is
made on the plowed surface by sow
ing thereon in the spring a mixture of
lawn grass seed, which, of eonrse, is
pretty well mixed with timothy seed.
Each spring tho sprouts have to bo
cut. A few sheep will cut them down
aud keep the bnds nipped off.—-"Mis
souri Farmer," in the Epitomist.
RltlliiK Hens mul Young; Chickens.
April aud May are the best months
for hatching and with the pen of one
male aud a dozen hens, which have
been well cared for during the winter,
you should be supplied with plonty of
eggs by that time, which may bo de
pended upon to hntch a fair per cent,
of strong chickens, writes Eugene
Randall. This is for the North, but
at the' Strath and West the season is
one to three months earlier.
■fake a sitting hen to a now nest in
any building not previously occupied
by poultry, place her upon a few nest
eggs until you are sure she means
business, then give her the eggs to
hatch. During the period of incuba
tion feed on corn, giving free access
to plenty of grit. Previous to putting
bet on the eggs sec that she is free
from lice. There are four or five kinds
of lice. Two aro found in the poultry
houses. What are termed mites are
small gray lice that breed in filth and
swarm all over the inside of the build
ing. It is this louse that compels
many a sitting hen to leave the nest
before she has hatched a ohipk.Dur
ing the the'rod spider, louse may
be found on the underside of the
roosting poles, and in any cracks. At
night they are sacking blood from the
hens on the perches. It is this lomse
that causes hens to forsake their house
for the trees. These two kinds of lice
may be entirely exterminated. First,
keep the infested house very clean.
Paint perches with kerosene oil. Keep
them soaked with it so that no louse
can live. Also put some oil on the
woodwork of the nests and all sup
ports of the perches. With a force
pump crude carbolic acid diluted with
hot water can be used. Spray the in
side of the house as long as a live
louse can be found. This is the cheap
est and best method.
There are also two kinds of lice
that remain on the hens. 1 call them
head lice and body lice. The first, as
the name indicates, me found 011 or
near the head of the fowl. They are
responsible for the death of many
very small chicks. Later, the body
lice also kill many young fowls. There
are many ways of ridding sitting hens
of lice. I use insect powder and car
bolic soap. First powder the hen
thoroughly and strew a handful of
powder in the nest, then take the car
bolic soap and wet her head and neck
with strong suds. Daring the period
of incubation I make three applica
tions, the last just before the eggs are
due to hatch.
When the chicks are ready to be re
moved from the nest, take them to a
small yard and give them the liberty
of the yard, cooping at night. Feed
nothing during the first thirty-six
hours. During the first week, feed
bread soaked in milk. Three feeds a
day will do, but five ar*3 better if you
are careful not to give more thau they
will eat up clean. Give water to drink
from the first. The second and third
weeks give bread made of corn meal
two parts and shorts one part. After
the third week the feed may be
scalded instead of baked. Have the
meal ground coarsely. It will not be
so sticky and will mix more readily.
After a few weeks cracked corn and
wheat may be fed at night.
When nearly half grown feed two
parts of ground oats and corn, one
pait wheat brau and one part corn
meal mixed cold for morning feed.
Give whole corn, cracked corn and
wheat at night. Feed a little animal
meal from the first, increasing it to a
tenth part of the soft faed by the time
the chicks are half grown. Give free
access to ground rock at all timqs.
Cockerels may be placed in a run by
themselves if they become trouble
some. Sell them when they become
fat.—American Agriculturist.
Saving I.(To liy Telephone.
The total length of life-saving tele
phone lines is, it is stated, nearly
1000 miles, and there are more than
200 telephoue connections at life-sav
ing stations, half-way places, light
houses and other points in connection
with the service, covering the Atlan
tic Coast from Maine to Hatteras
Inlet, N. H. Linemen's work 011 the
coast is not a pleasant duty, the trips
being long, with dangerous inlets to
be crossed, and there is but little shel
ter on the beaches in stormy weather.
The one man who has charge of the
100 miles of the North Carolina section
has to make most of his trips 011 mule
back. At some points 011 the coast of
Cape Cod the lialf-wny places are con
nected by telephone with the main
lino.
The designation of "half-way" is ap
plied to a place about midway between
two life-saving stations, where the pa
trols meet and exchange checks during
the night watches. The object in con
necting the half-way places is to ena
ble the patrols to send in an alarm of
wreck or report vessels that may be in
distress in the vicinity of the half-way
place without having to run back
through miles of loose sand, aud per
haps in the face of a gale, to notify
their station. Many a time when, in
the old days, this had to be done, the
ship and crew were under water be
fore help arrived, that now would have
beeu saved.—Philadelphia Inquire!.
What He Should I>o With Her.
There is a certain Clevelauder who

Grooming th© Horse.
The farm horse ought to have plonty
of grooming, but the curry-oomb
ought uot to do very much. The most
work in grooming should bo after the
day's work is done. His legs and feet
ought to have special care. Clean his
feet out thoroughly eaoh evening. An
old broom will do good work in this.
Give a good rubbing over the whole
body with a wisp of straw, working
briskly on his legs and feet. Keep

Brail For roultry.
Bran [is excellent for poultry and
me point in favor of bran is that it
contains a much larger proportion oi
lime than any other cheap food derived
from grain, and as the shells of eggs
ire composed of lime it is essential
that food rich in lime be provided. It
may be urged that the use of oyster
shells will provide lime, but it will be
found that it is the lime in the food
that is most serviceable, because it is
in a form that can be better digested
and assimilated than carbonate of lime.
Clover is also rich in lime, and when
a mass of cut clover and bran is given
the fowls they will need no oyster
shells or other mineral matter as o
source from which to provide lime for
the shells of eggs. Do not forget that
in summer, however, the ties of all
kinds of foods should be made with
judgment. If the hens have a free
ninije give no food at all as long as
they are laying, but if they begin tc
fall off let bran be a leading ingredient
of the foods allowed. In winter tli6
bran and clover is even more essen
tial, as the fowls oannot then seoure
green food on the range.—Farm News.
Angora Goats.
The following was written for the
Breeders' Gazette by J. R. Standley,
of Taylor County, Iowa: Pure-bred
Angora goats are scarce. For killing
brush and weeds the grade goat is as
good as pure-breds. Grades are pro
cured by using pure-bred bucks on
common goats. The first cross makes
but little hair—about three-quarters
of a pound; the second cross about one
and a half to two pounds; the third
cross about two to three pounds while
the fourth or fifth cross is for hair
about as good as pure-breds. Anyone
desiring to make goat-breeding a busi
ness for profit should buy grade does
and pure-bred bucks and continue to
breed to pure-brod bucks. The An
gora goat-breeding business is much
the same as the cattle or hog business
as regards blood. High-grade cows
or sows, if bred to full-blooded sires,
are about as good [as pure-breds for
beef or pork, but to breed to grade
sires is to go backward instead of on
and up.
The pure-bred Angora varies much'
in weight of fleece, runniug all the
way from two and a half to ten pounds
per head. Of course these are ex
tremes. A good average fleocc is four
to five pounds. Tho hair is at this
time worth about fifteen cents to forty
cents per pound—this is grade hair;
pure-bred hair is worth from twenty
fivo to forty cents.
Angora goats mature about the same
time as sheep and require much the
same treatmeut. They breed about
the same—-the time of gestation is the
same. The weight for grown does is
about seventy to eighty pounds—some
weigh more and some less. High
grade wethers attain a weight of 160
pounds often aud a bunch of choice
ones will clip seven to ten jrounds of
hair on an average each.
The Angora goat in fleece pays about
twenty per cent, more than sheep, and
for gleaning qualities there is no com
parison between them.
Angoras and sheep do well together
and never cross breed. They do not
do well together in winter (the goats
fight the sheep), but when at pasture
they are all right. Tho goats eat
leaves aud weeds in preference to
grass, thus removiug the shade aud
improving the pastures.
Angora goats are grown largely in
Southwestern Texas, in New Mexico,
California aud Oregon. There have
been about 10,000 distributed in lowa
this season.
The meat of the Angora is by many
thought to bo nicer than mutton. The
wethers or does if fat sell better than
sheep, for the reason that the meat is
equal and the pelt is worth much
more. Angora goat pelts taken in No
vember or Deoember are worth from
81 to $2.50 each and are being worth
more every year as people learn their
ases.
Corn That Catches Coons.

of the lake dried up and left tho richest
soil the world ever saw. It is ten
feet deep, and nothing the River Nile
ever produced could excel it.
This year Mills and Halley have a
erpp of corn on about 1,000 acres oJ
this laud. They 3owed the corn
broadcast like wheat, and scores oJ
"shoots" are also loaded down.
"It is the most remarkable corn
crop ever produced in the world," de
clared Professor Cox, and to make the
story even more interesting, he ended
it by declaring that a "coon" was
caught between the stalks, aud, being
unable to extricate itself because they
were so thick, was killed by those
who came upouit.—Little Rook (Ark.)

Tho following is a straightforward

comrade will nool farther proof than
tiioir friend's own words, as here given,
•Squire John Castor, of Newpoint, Ind.,
is the narrator, aud an lioneat respected
citizen lie is too. H' 1 said: ' I have been
troubled with rheumatism in all IUV joints
over since I wont to the war. 'it was
brought ou by my exposure there. It came
on me gradually, and kept getting worse
until 1 was unable to do any work. 1 tried
several physicians, but they d' i me no
good. They said my trouble was rheuma
tism resulting in disease of tho heart, and
that there was no cure for it. Neverthe
less I had lived and fought the disease for
thirty years, and did hot intend to die,
simply because tliey said 1 must, so i
at.
hunted up some remedies for myself, and
dually happened ou Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills for Pale People. 1 asked some of my
neighbors about the medicine, for it had
been used by several persons in tho com
munity, aud they recommended it very
highly. I procured a box. Tho pills
helped mo right away, and X continued
taking them. I commenced taking them
last fall, and finished taking the sixth box
a few months ago. I am not bothered
with the rheumatism now—tho medicine
has cured me. I can most certainly rec
ommend Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale
People."
These pills are not only good for rheu
matism, but are valuable for any disease
that arises from Impoverished, or bad
blood. They do MOT act on the bowels.
