Birds Learning Grasshopper Songs.
It is generally known that some
species of birds are able to imitate the
songs of other birds, but a more sur
prising fact is related by a French
naturalist, Monsier Coupin, concern
ing a sparrow which learned the shrill
chant of grasshoppers. The insects
happened to be confined In a cage
hung beside the sparrow's cage, but
It was not until a year afterward, when
again the bird and grasshoppers were
neighbors, that the sparrow was heard
imitating tho notes of the insects. All
the rest of its life, and long after the
grasshoppers from whom It had taken
Its lessons were dead, the sparrow
continued to intermingle with Its
own songs the peculiar music of its
lost friends.
First Use of the Hot Blast.
I James M. Swank, in a Government
report on iron and steel, says: The
x first practical application of the hot
blast to the manufacture of pig iron
in this country was made at, Oxford
Furnace, in New Jersey, In 1834, by
William Henry, the manager. The
waste heat at the tymp passed over
the surface of a nest of small cast-iron
pipes, through which the blast was
conveyed to the furnace. The tem
perature was raised to 250 degrees
Fahrenheit, and the product of the
furnace was Increased about 10 per
cent. In 1835 a hot blast oven, con
taining cast-iron arched pipes, was
placed on the top of the stack by Mr.
Henry and heated by the flames from
the tunnel bead. By this means the
temperature of the Blast was raised
to 50U degrees. Tho fuel used was
charcoal.

Moving a Mammoth.
The skeleton of a giant mammoth,
unearthed some time ago in East Si
beria. will be brought to St. Peters
burg in the coming winter. Tho task
of conveying it is a most formidable
one, as the distance to Idkutsk, which
is the nearest railroad station, is some
5,000 miles. The skeleton will have
to be cut up and treated with arsenic
each portion being encased in cow
hide in order to prevent the air tif
fecting it. As far as Yakutsk the
river Lena will be utilized, but from
there nearly 2,000 miles of swampy
forest will have to be traversed. The
conveyance will be effected in sleighs,
and it is calculated that at the least
50 horses will bo required to draw
them.
Pneumatic Clocks.
Tho city of Paris is being rapidly
supplied with a system of public
clocks worked by compressed air un
der electrical control. The entire
area of the city is divided into sections
about a mile and three-quarters in
radius, and in the center of each sec
tion Is a sub-station provided with a
reservoir of compressed air, from
which air-pipes extend to all the clocks
included in the section. By means
of electro-magnets, energized every
minute with currents from a commu
tator controlled by a master-clock at
the central station, the air-pipes art
intermittently connected with the res
ervoirs, and thus the compressed air
once every minute, drives forward the
hands of the deck.

At the Hodbarrow Mines, at Millom,
on the Cumberland coast, England,
work is being carried out to enable
mining to proceed still further under
the sea. The company's first lease
only extended to ordinary high-water
mark on the south. Through the sur
face caving in when ore was extracted,
it was necessary to leave a barrier of
380 feet wide, to protect tho mines, as
the sea would otherwise have filled
the hollows on the surface and even
tually have flooded the mine. This
barrier was ultimately found to con
tain over 5,000,000 tons of ore. A sec
ond sea wall going beyond the older
one has been commenced.
The wholesale slaughter of kanga

sulted in tho practical extinction of
these remarkable animals except in
the remoter regions of Australia, and
most visitors make their only experi

principal cities. In the "back blocks,"
as the interior parts of Australia are
called, they are still to be found in
considerable numbers, and afTord ex

of Australian kangaroos includes, be
sides these animals proper, a constant

Everybody has observed the habit
that some insects have of hovering or
dancing on the air, generally in a
group, with every manifestation of
enjoyment. There is a species of two
winged flies that are particularly fond
of this sport, for Bport it undoubtedly
is. They assemble in some spot shel
tered from the wind, and indulge in
their dance for hours at a time. Their
motions consist of alternate rising and
falling in periods of a few seconds,
and over a distance varying from ono
foot to four. They become so much
interested in the dance that they can
not be scattered. If disturbed for a
moment they at once reassemble, and
continue the sport as if nothing had
interfered with them. Much has been
written about this habit, but the nat
uralists agree, we believe. In consider
ing it real play.
According to a paper recently read
by Dr. Aron before tho Berlin Medical
society the inhalation of oxygen for
the relief and cure of certain lung and
heart affections, in which it is com
monly recommended, is of little value.
The atmosphere, he said, contained a
sufficient proportion of oxygen to sat
urate the haemoglobin of tho blood,
and as the haemoglobin when saturat
ed was, of course, unable to absorb
more oxygen inhalations of oxy
gen were evidently useless. He
had found that, the results of prac
tical experience were in accordance
with these views. The few instances
in which the oxygen seemed beneficial
were cases of dyspnoae (difficulty in
breathing), in cardiac and pulmonary
diseases, but the improvement was
maintained only while the inhala
tions were actually in progress. In
the treatment of apparent death from
drowning artificial respiration was
just as efficacious. In poisoning by
carbolic oxide and in rarefied air,
where the amount of available oxygen
was less than the normal, the admin
istration of oxygen was desirable.
Apoplexy and llraln XVorUom.
The number of deaths from apo
plexy daily among prominent business
men is a matter for comment. It al
most appears that the disease has a
special predilection for brain workers
who have passed the life meridian.
Some explanation for this may be
made by taking into account the stress
of mental work to which the ambitious
and untiring American so willingly
yields himself. The brain is tho last
organ that seemingly feels the strain,
and the ultimate breakdown is usually
more or loss sudden.
The latter was particularly the case
in the deatn of Bishop Littlejohn. For
a long time the mine was boing pre
pared for the final explosion. In a
person of his years, temperate habits,
vital force and persistent mental ac
tivity the gradual wear and tear upon
the blood vessels of the brain directly
invited the ultimate Issue. The arte
rial supply was evidently quite ex
tensively involved in the gradual de
generative process that occurs late in
life. The hemorrhage was consequent
ly quite extensive, Involving the
deeper portions of the centres, tearing
their tissues and overwhelming pain
and consciousness in a quick stroke.
Melancholy as Is tho fact, this mode
of death is the best of all that are
caused by apoplexy, and the pationt
is spared a life of subsequent misery
and comparative helplessness while
awaiting and droamng an inevitable

When using insect remedies keep in
view that the bordeaux mixture should
be resorted to against fungus diseases,
the kerosene emulsion for insects that
suck juices (such as plant lice), and
Paris green for those that gnaw or
bite (potato beetle). Kerosene emul
sion will injure some plants, however,
unless well diluted.
Storage of Farm Product*.
When harvesting the beets, carrots
and turnips this fall care should be
given their storage. When put into
pits or mounds the frost sometimes
seals them up until spring. Some pack
in bins, in dry earth or sand, but it
has been found that one of tho best
methods is to pack in large bins and
liiung in with oats, which keep the
roots, at an oven temperature, and
makes tliom convenient for use, while
the oat 3 are not injured.
Disponing of Animuls.
The bodies of uead animals are con
verted into fertilizer by some farmers,
but something depends upon circum
stances as to the advisability of so do
ing. If an animal dies of some con
tagious disease, and is buried, the
earthworms will bring to the surface
the germs of the disease. This fact
was demonstrated by Pasteur, the fa
mous French chemist, who made
tests in that direction. Disease was
communicated to animals that ate
grass which grew over the body of a
buried animal. The better plan is to
consume the bodies of diseased ani
mals, or subject them to a bath of
sulphuric acid, after death, in order
to destroy the germ 3 of disease.
I'nviM In Poultry.
Favus is a disease produced by a
minute parasitic fungus and attacks
the comb, wattles and neck, causing
the feathers of the latter to fall out.
It is very destructive in poultry yards
In England, and being highly conta
gious spreads with great rapidity. A
single diseased bird soon contamin
ates the whole flock and several out
breaks have boon traced to the intro
duction of a new bird from an affected
yard.
Unless treated properly, is usually
ends fatally. The feathers become
erect, dry and fall out, leaving the
skin covered with dull yellowish gray
crusts. The English board of agricul
ture in a recent leaflet recommends
bathing the affected parts with warm
water and castle soap, then applying
some ointment to destroy the fungus.
Nitrate of soda and lard is useful. Red
oxide of mercury has also proved an
excellent remedy.
Sorghum an Food.
Many farmers are looking for a
better fodder plant than Indian corn,
and our individual experiences as well
as observation loads us to believe that
for a good part of our country no bet
ter plant has been found than sorg
hum. It is easily raised, and if sown
tiroadcast it may ho cut with a mow
ing machine and dried about as pond
grass, and fed out at any tima If
sown in this way it should be sown as
early as possible, so as to have hot
weather in which to cure it. Or it
may he planted in drill rows and har
vested as is corn.
If a litle care is exercised in bring
ing up stock to a full feed, I here need
be no danger of colic. In feeding to
ccws and other stock that are to liavo
young we have always taken the seed
off, as it seemingly is productive of
premature birth. I have tried almost
every forage plantain a small way, and
am anchored on sorghum as the fiesh

tle, horses and shoep, and the best

KlTuct of Fumigation on Grain.
Owing to tho I'act that many millers
fumigate their storehouses, bins and
buildings in which grain is stored by
means of hydrocyanic acid gas, with
out removing such grain, the question
has arisen whether or not his fumi
gating has injured the grain either for
food or planting. The Maryland ex
periment station has made a number
of tests along these lines.
In tne test as to the effect on the
germinating quality of the seeds it
was found that dry seeds are suffi
ciently resistant to the influence of the
gas to stand a treatment of several
weeks of an nttnospneie saturated
with hydrocyanic acid gas without
destroying their Vitality. If the seeds
are damp, however, they are much
more susceptible to tho influences of
the gas, and should not remain more
than two or three hours in gas of
sufficient strength to destroy animal
life.
Only a few tests were made along
the line of the effect of gas on tho
seeds for food, but it was found by
feeding the treated seeds to mice that
there appears no danger in the use of
them for foods. The general conclu
sions arrived at showed that stored
grains and other seeds may be fu
migated with hydrocyanic acid gas of
required strength, and for sufficient
time to insure the d:r--trictlon of in
sect pests without injury to the germ
inating quality of the imeds and with
rpndering them injurious as foods.

The almost' Unprecedented drouth,
which bade fair to cut tne corn crop
down to ne.'t to nothing, but which
began late enough to allow the produc
tion of a large crop of wheat, is turn
ing the attention pf the farmers to
the possibility of feeding wheat in
place of corn. A number of considera
tions must be kept in view. The ker
nels being much smaller than thoso
of corn, there is much more danger of
their escaping mastication and passing
out undigested. Many farmers who
regarded it as unprofitable to feed
wheat whole found on crushing or
grinding it that all difficulty disap
peared. It is especially necessary
when fed to steers or milch cows. In
animals with smaller mouths, there
is loss waste than with cattle, and
some have observed a positive advan
tage with sheep in feeding it whole.
This was due, however, to the great
er consumption of whole grain than
ground. Ground wheat has an impor
tant disadvantage in feeding, in that
it is apt to form a gummy mass,
which adheres to the teeth, making it
difficult and disagreeable to handle by
the animal. This fault has been the
source of some of the poor results in
feeding it, and is best obviated by
feeding it mixed with some other
grain, as corn, oats, or Kafir corn. An
imals fed upon a mixture are less lia
ble to become cloyed than when fed
upon wheat alone. In brief, the nu
tritive value of wheat, as shown by
its composition, is greater than tht
of corn. It can be best utilized by
feeding it ground or crushed, and
mixed to a certain extent with oats,
corn or Kaffir-corn; it may be fed ad
vantageously to horses, cattle, hogs,
sheep or poultry. In discussing tho
feeding value of wheat, the grain only
itas thus far been in mind. In this
year of extreme scarcity of roughage,
it may not be amirs to inject a word
of suggestion that wheat straw is
much better than nothing, and that
in all probability the farmers of the
wheat belt can contribute to the needs
of their less fortunate fellow citizens,
and add to their own profits by pre
serving, hailing and marketing their
straw, instead of burning it as usual.

Almost any kind of soil that will
rais- a crop of corn will produce good
potatoes if properly prepared. It is
very essential that the ground be loose
and fine before the seed potatoes are
planted. If the land has been plowed
in iho fall, disk or harrow till it is
loose and fine to a depth of three
inches, then plow again. This will
give a good seed bed of six or seven
inches of fine loose earth.
if you wish to "plant in hills they
should be about three and a half feet
snort, each way, to allow of free cul
livfc.l-... I mark with a com marker
one way, and then use a four-shovel
sulky cultivator to open up the fur
row the other way, taking off the two
inside shovels and fastening the other
two tho desired distance apart
Tho next thing of importance is to
have good seed of some popular sal
able variety. Cut to one or two eyes
and place only one piece in a hill.
Place your foot on each piece so as to
press It down into the loose dirt as
deep as possible. This will make cov
ering easier and will also prevent dry
ing out. Cover with a hoe, putting
one hoeful of dirt on each piece of
potato. The marks made by the sulky
cultivator will remain so as to bo
easily seen across the field. Never
plant scabby potatoes if it can he
avoided, hut if you must plant them,
soak in corrosive sublimate solution,
one part of sublimate to 1000 parts
water, for two hours before planting.
After planting it will not be neces
sary to do anything more to the po
tato patch for two weeks. By that
timo pigeon grass and other weed
seeds will have commenced to grow
by the thousands, but the potatoes
will not be above the ground. Now
take the sulky cultivator and turn
the inside shovels a little, so that
when you follow the cultivator marks
it will leave the ground as level as
possible. Tl'-la will kill all the weeds,
and by the time they start ti'p again
the potatoes will be out of the ground.
They can then be easily cultivated.
Some advise dragging the potato field
after planting to kill weeds. I never
do it, for if the soil is very loose the
drag is sure to break off many sprout 3
and sometimes remove the seed piece
out of its place.
The cultivating should he kept up as
long as the vines will permit, and the
soil should never be allowed to bako
after a heavy rain or ugly, deformed,
bunchy potatoes will result. A good
plan is to cultivate one a week wheth
er there are any weeds in the patch or
not, for if dry weather prevails the
loose dirt will hold the moisture bet
tor. If rainfall is excessive, tho
ground cannot hake if the cultivator
is kept going. The hiller should bo
used tho last two or three times. It
will not disturb iho small potatoes,
which will set before tho vines are
large enough 1o stop the cultivation.
If polnto bugs bother the vines
much, spray with parts green. A
spraying pump for that purpose can
he bought for 50 cents at most hard
ware stores, but if one cannot be ob
tained, mix paris green, one teaspoon
ful to three gallons water, and for a
sprinkler use a bunch of -motny
heads, and when you are through us
ing, put it into the stove. It is only
tho work of a minute to get another
when needed.
If the potatoes are to be shipped
as soon its harvested, they should not
he dug until the middle of October.
They can he dug In the forenoon, left
to dry a few hours in the sun, then

UTILITY CF THE SANDBINDERS.
Cirimncft with Which It Is Hoped to Hol4
the Jhlftiii? .Sunds on Our Const.
Prof. F. Samson Scribner, agrostolo
gist of the department of agriculture,
has returned to Washington from Buf
falo, where he has been in charge of
the department's exhibit of grasses.
90 varieties of which are under culti
vation at the exposition. Since he
left Washington Prof. Scribner has
traveled extensively along the Atlantic
coast and throughout New England
and New York states, engaged in su-
I perintending the selection and the
preparation of various species of
grasses known as sandbinders, by the
I extensive cultivation of which the de
partment hopes to hold the drifting
sands of the Atlantic coast The prin
cipal experiments with different va
rieties of these grasses are now being
conducted in the vicinity of Cape Cod,
and Prof. Scribner said today that
it had been demonstrated that the
sand dunes of that locality were being
held by the intelligent use of the sand
binders. On the Pacific coast the cul
tivation of these grasses had resulted
in fixing the sandhills in the vicinity
of San Francisco and Los Angeles and
had made possible the creation of the
Golden Gate park.
These experiments with the sand
biners, Prof. Scribner said, were being
conducted in all sections of the coun
try in co-operation with the experi
ment stations of the various states,
and since the inception of the idea
and the steps taken toward carrying
it out, commendatory letters have been
received almost daily at the depart
ment from persons who either reside
in the sandy districts where the
grasses are being utilized, or whose
business interests bring them in touch
with conditions along the coast. One
variety of the sandbinders which has
shown up well in experiments is the
Montana blue grass, which has been
transplanted with great success to the
north Atlantic coast. This grass, aside
from its utility, lends most picturesque
coloring to the sand dunes, and when
thickly grown along the coast, blends
with the hue of the ocean and from a
distance makes it a difficult matter to
determine the line of sea and shore.
While in New England Prof. Scrib
ner had a consultation with the sec
retary of the Massachusetts state
board of agriculture, looking to the
redemption of the abandoned farms
of New England from their present
state of disuse, while the abandoned
farms are generally considered,
through a misconception of the facts,
to be sections of worked out land.
Prof. Scribner said that as good land
as any in the east is embraced in some
of these abandoned tracts. All they
needed, he said, was intelligent culti
vation and tillage. The planting of
forage crops, noted as soil improvers,
would aid materially in increasing the
productiveness of the land and the
proper use of fertilizers would do tho
rest. In the majority of cases he
thought the farms had not been aban
doned because the land was too poor
and barren to till, but because the
younger generation had drifted to the
cities, not caring to continue the strug
gle in the old-fashioned way, op
pressed by mortgages and discouraged
by the failure of crops and the refrac
tory and unproductive soil, and not
having sufficient knowledge of mod
ern agricultural methods to open the
fight on other lines.

not having noticed what he had done,
he continued his rush, when the boy

"I'm sorry, my dear, that I hurt
you, I didn't see." Then turning to
the boy, he continued: "You said you
were big enough, young man, but
you're a great deal bigger than you
think. Men like you will have a lot
to do with keeping this old world In
