    THE GIANT CACTUS.
One of the Chief Sights on Far West
ern Deserts.
No one ever saw the giant cactus
on the sandy desert of Africa. Here
alone do these tall monup'.ents guard
the graves of words. To get.,out on
the deserts day after day and meel
the ear of the Sphinx and listening at
her locked lips. And to go out in
.April and seo them suddenly abloom
as though the lips of the Sphinx
should part and utter solemn words.
A bunch of white flowers at the tip
of the obelisk, flowers springing white
and wonderful out of this dead; gaunt,
prickly thing—is not that nature's
consunimage miracle, a symbol of res
urrection more profound than the lily
of the fields? And in April also the
lesser cacti are abloom with gorgeous
flamming colors—each dragon bears a
jewel in its teeth as a tribute to the
fervid sun. And if a few drops of rain
just moisten its crust, it is strange
how suddenly the sternness of its
inood will change; the entire-face of
the pale earth will 'become softly
green in a night, gratefully veiling it
self close with a silvery leafage tiny
and tender and delicate: and masses
of California poppies will spread out
their patches of cloth of gold.

Will Pay Excess Fares Back.
▼ It is announced by the passenger
department of the Pennsylvania lines
that a part of the whole of the excess
fare charged l on the "Pennsylvania
special" between New York and Chi
cago will he refunded In case the stip
ulated time is not made. The fare
will be refunded at the rate of $1 an
hour, but no money will be given
back to the passenger in case the train
Is not two hours late. If the arrival
at New York is two hours behind the
schedule of the "special" $2 will be
refunded, for three hours S3 and for
four hours the entire amount of the
excess fare, which is sl. The trunk
line committee took the matter of ex
cess fares up the past week, result
ing in this conclusion.
The Gentle Bloodhound.
Bloodhounds, notwithstanding thai
\ a club was established In America
\tiavo not caught on in public favor
fjfhere is probably no breed whose
true characteristics are less under
stood. a widespread idea existing that
this is a ferocious animc I, for which,
however, there is no Ju: ideation, as
the modern bloodhound is a noble and
sensible creature peculiarly sensitive
to kind treatment. There is no breed
of dog whose olfactory organs are de
veloped to the same degree; thus his
ability to hunt man by the scent ol
his footsteps; indeed, for tracking
purposes ho stands preeminent.

It rood or Chicks.
When one first changes from the set
ting hen to the incubator and uses a
brooder for the little chicks, it is dif
ficult to become accustomed to the loss
of the mother hen. At first it seems
cruel to compel the fledglings to huddlo
around the brooder and have no moth
ed to cluck to them, but we soon find
that this loss is more than offset by
the many advantages the brooder af
fords.
The chicks are never neglected, and
always have a place of refuge when
cold or in danger. They are constantly
under our care, and we can l attend to
400 or 500 with as little trouble as we
can look after a brood or two under
the care of a hen. They are never the
victims of mites, and do nob have gapes
and other diseases from which young
chicks so often suffer. We soon learn
to know their wants, and can raise 95
percent of those that hatch. —Home
and Farm.
Fattening Chicken..
At the Ontario Agricultural college
they decided Uiat there is more profit
in fattening chickens at three and one
half pounds weight each than in those
of four, four and one-half or more
pounds. The three and one-half
pounds, and those weighing less than
three pounds, made a pound of gain at
less cost tnan heavier weights, but the
three-pound chickens were rather
small to be fed by the cramming ma
chine. The best results were obtained
by feeding out of a trough, in slatted
coops, for two weeks, and then with
the cramming machine twice a day for
ten days. The seJond best results
were obtained by feeding in the trough
for about twenty-four days. The
cramming machine will not pay if feed
ing for the ordinary market, or if one
cannot well spare the time for individ
ual feeding night and morning. For
ducks there is no advantage in feeding
in coops or with cramming machine,
as they grow as well and fatten as fast
when fed loose in a small yard. The
duck's crop will not hold any more
than it will eat of its own accord.
Keep the Skim Milk.
There are several reasons why the
pal rims of our creameries should not
allow their skim milk to be taken from
the farm. Among these reasons we
enumerate the following:
First—Nn creamery proprietor that
we havo yet known of will pay for the
skim milk anywhere near what it is
worth to feed to young pigs and calves.
What is the skim milk worth to the
farmer? As a pork making food at
present prices for live hogs it is worth
from 25 to 35 cents a hundred pounds,
the latter price depending on the
young age of the pigs it is fed to. It
is worth just as much fed to heifer
calves of good dairy blood, or to young
beef bred calves. In both cases they
may be fed till they are a year old. The
last winter, considering the high price
of feed of all kinds, skim milk has
been worth several cents more a hun
dred than usual.
Second —Its value as a fertilizer to
the farm is 7 cents a hundred.
Third—No farmer that is a farmer
can afford to sell his skim milk for
what the creamery man can afford to
pay him.
Fourth—The demand for caseine 13
very limited, and there are already
signs of a glutted market, while the
prospecU for pork, beef and likely
dairy bred calves and young stock are
as good as ever.
We always take it as a sure sign that
the patrons of a creamery do not know
the full meaning of dairy farming or
understand how to bring out its best
profits when we see them selling their
skim milk to be taken from the farm.
A shallow reasoning farmer may be
caught that way, but not one who
knows his business as a dairy farmer
ought to know it. —Hoard's Dairyman.
Hreed Not Feed.
There are so many requests for im
proved rations which will increase the
quality of the milk and cream of dairy
cows that one might he. convinced that
our dairying is rapidly awakening to
the new order of things. But it must
be said that most of these inquiries
voice a desiro which cannot be grati
fied by any mixture of feed. They
ask that a feed shall be devised which
will improve the richness and quality
of their milk. Most of them have been
feeding fairly rich foods, and the cows
have not been suffering from any lack
of nourishing rations. The only an
swer to these requests must be that
the cows must he changed, and not the
food. Not it is an excellent thing to
have an idoal ration for dairy cows,
and to feed them consistently with it,
but such a ration fed to poor cows
would not yield any good results. It
might In the long run gradually im
prove the quality of the milk and
cream, but not enough to make the
difference in the cost of the food. It
one wishes to use such an idoal ration,
he should also undertake to breed his
herd up to a higher standard. If he
is not willing to dispose of his cows
for better stock, he must at least intro
duce new blood every year. The herd
must be headed by a fine bull, which
will bring up the standard of averages,
so that the ideal ration can produce
its beet results.
There arc plenty who maintain that
it is impossible materially and perma
nently to change the percentage of fat
in a cow's milk by Improved feeding
rations. Uaquer.tlonably this haa given
a good deal of dissatisfaction and
caused a good deal of discouragement
in many quarters. But it should not.
Temporarily improved rations taay
show a change for the better in the fat
of the milk, but it is small and not
permanent. Consequently those who
have tried it and found that there was
no continuous improvementgaveup the
work and fell back into old conditions.
There is only one thing to say to such
men. It is necessary often to change
the cows first, and then change the
feed. Doing the latter without the
former will often produce no good re
sults. —Dr. A. T. Morse, in American
Cultivator.
Maintaining Fertility.
The quality of the soil in Indiana as
it came from the hand of nature was
for the most part" excellent, the sur
face having been densely-covered with
fine timber —walnut, yellow poplar,
elm, sugar, ash and beoch; where this
forest was removed the earth was soon
decked with that king of grasses, Ken
tucky blue grass. Our upper sol* has
been formed by the disintegration of
sandstone, by which deposit and decay
of forest leaves which the hand of
time has annually thrown upon the
earth for centuries, by the decay of
vast quantities of roots of trees affll
wild plants, and by the action of frost
and chemical substances deposited by
melting snows times without number.
All this humus mingled with sand and
underlying clay has resulted in a soil
known as clay loam, a strong, rich soli
when the first furrow was plowed. By
constant plowing and tramping, ex
posure to fierce sunshine and robber
winds, with little or nothing returned
in the way of manure, with numerous
surface washings, our tillable land is
being depleted and becoming incapable
of original results. How then shall we
proceed to recover and maintain the
lost fertility? The course of treatment
which I would suggest may be thus
stated: 1. Application of real manure.
2. Green manuring. 3. Resting and
setting in grass. 4. Deepening soil by
tile drainage.
In applying barn-yard manure we
find on the average farm the amount
too limited to cover much surface, so
must increase tho supply. The more
stock kept under shelter the greater
the amount of manure saved; and it
may be increased by careful attention
to bedding, using an abundance of
straw, leaves or sawdust All stable
manure should be hauled directly' to
fields and spread; all yards where stock
Is kept should bo scraped when the
conditions are favorable, and the ac
cumulations hauled.
Land that is not too poor to produce
a crop of some groon stuff, whether it
be weeds, clover, rye, cow peas, or
beans, can be materially improved by
turning under the crop, providing it he
done before the seed ripens. A farm
er of wide experience in this country,
in farming a piece of creek bottom al
ways sowed his ground to rye in the
standing corn the last of August or
first of September, as an aid to fertili
ty to the coming corn crop; the ex
cellent crops raised proved the wisdom
of this plan.
Another way of building up land is
to allow it to lie in pasture; however
it may lie explained, land can produce
a crop of grass each year and if not too
closely pastured continually grow bet
ter. The decay of grass roots, the ab
sence of surface washings, the drop
pings of animals will cause increased
fertility if the surface is not unduly
tramped.
The fourth method is mechanical in
its application—ridding the land of
water-soaked conditions, making the
soil mellow to a greater depth, raising
the temperature by admitting air and
warm rain water, causing it to draw
more nitrogen from the air, in short,
putting it in condition so the roots of
plants will penetrate it and bring up
soil properties as yet not available.
Good farming, be ii remembered, is
raising large crops and at the same
time increasing the fertility of the
farm.—A. B. Milligan in Agricultural
Epltomist.
Hints for tho Farmer.
Sheep do not thrive on hunted pas
tures.
Milk strippings yield the most and
the best butter.
Have water convenient for your
sheep. They drink little and often.
The manner In which butter is put
up always detracts from or adds to its
price.
Eggs for setting purposes should he
chosen from the hens that are the best
layers.
The younger the pigs are when they
arrive at the market weight" file great
er will be the profit.
Young pigs require a warm, dry pen.
and should he attended very closely
during the first few hours to see that
al are suckle I and that none are
chilled.
The best authorities say that thor
ough drairago will increase the product
at least one-third. Drainage will often
convert useless land into the most pro
ductive.
Young calves should never be al
lowed to roam over large fields, or bo
exposed to the scorching boat of a
summer sun, or have their usual grain
ration neglected.
There is no secret or mystery about
tho breeding or raising of good horses.
Random and ill-directed efforts pro
duce unsatisfactory results, while in
telligence brings ample reward.
Some farmers draw out tho manure
and put it in the field in large heaps,
where It heats and rots. Unless great
care be exerolsod much lose will be
sustained by tho6e practising this
method.
Four strong arguments against dark
hams: Less milk from the cows, leas
butter per gallon of milk and poorer
butter, with the cows lees thrifty and
healthy. Let the light shine in freely
when it does shine.
SIX TABLES IN ONE.
Noral Plec* of Furniture I)ilrned for
HHrvardgAsrroiiomieAl Olmrvillory,
One of ffle first results of the recent
Anonymous gift of $20,000 made to the
Harvard astronomical observatory is a
new study table for the director's of
fice. The table Is probably unique
among study tables the world over. It
was worked out by Prof. Pickering
and Mr. W. P. Gerrish, also of the
observatory, and is practically six sep
arate tables of ordinary size, each pro
vided with its own bookcase. But in
stead of having to move around from
table to table, and from shelf to shelf,
tables and book shelves move around
to whoever is using them. These
tables are joined to make one big cir
cular table which revolves horizontally
on an axis so that each section can be
brought easily within working distance
of a stationary office chair. The book
case, situated in the centre of the table,
revolves independently, so that any
book may be brought within reach
without disturbing the table itself.
The main axis of the table proper,
the part used as a writing desk and
covered with the materials of the vari
ous subjects which are constantly tak
ing up the director's personal attention,
rises from floor to ceiling and turns
slowly around as one section after an
other passes in review before the sta
tionary chair in which the director is
seated. Above this table and in the
centre of it is the special library con
taining all the books and pamphlets
likely to be needed in the day's work
But there are really six little libraries,
and between each of them another
smaller triangular compartment for
pens, ink, mucilage, letter scales, pa
per weights, and all yie other things
that accumulate on an ordinary desk.
Each section is about four feet long
by two deep, and in addition has two
good-sized drawers for stationary,
stamps, envelopes, measuring charts,
diagrams, photograph slides, and the
other paraphernalia of modern as
tronomy. One section is, therefore,
for scientific corerspondence. Two
sections are dovoted to photometry—
the constant record of the light or
brightness of the stars. Another sec
tion is for studying and comparing the
records of the thousands of spectro
scopic photographs yearly taken by the
observatory instruments. Another is
devoted to the proof sheets of the ob
servatory annals, bulletins, and cata
logues. The new revolving table is
thus very like the whole observatory
in miniature. In fact, every bit of
scientific information that goes out
from the observatory will ride round
and round upon it in process of being
digested.—New York Times.

Ambrose Winterton, a ticket-of
lcave man, has been charged before the
Torquay magistrates with failing to re
port himself to the police. The prison
er told the bench a romantic story. It
was because he wanted to bury the
past and lead an upright life that he
had not reported himself. Confine
ment in prison had seriously affected
his health, and on his discharge on
license he was ordered to the south
of France to regain his health. He,
however, found that the French cli
mate did not agree with him, and he
decided to return to England. On the
way homo he met a young woman of
means. They soon became on very
friendly terms, and eventually they
were married. Being anxious that his
wife should not learn anything of his
previous career, he decided to settle In
Torquay, believing the vigilance of the
police would not penetrate so far. Mrs.
Winterton, however, noticed that her
husband was sometimes depressed and
came to the conclusion that something
was weighing on his mind. She ques
tioned him on the subject, and a
month later he confessed he was a
ticket-of-leave man. The bench now
sent him to prison for a month. —Lon-

r.ivpn Away Nickel*.
A shopkeeper is this year calling the
attention of customers and those he
desires as such to his wares by a novel
method. The person to whom it is
addressed receives by mall a well filled
envelope, with no external markings
to indicate its contents, but up in the
left hand corner of the envelope are
printed the words: "The five cents
is inside."
The appearance of the envelope, to
gether with the notice, is calculated to
induce curiosity at once. The state
ment that the five cents is inside is
true, for, on opening the letter, a bright
rew nickel of 1002 date is found tucked
nway between the middle pages of a
pamphlet.
The explanation given in the pamph
let is that the sender is not a stealer
of other people's time, and that as it
was calculated that the recipient would
use up five cent's worth of his own
time in reading the shopkeeper's story
the latter had decided to be honest and
pay for the time used or "purchased"
as he puts it, and he therefore inclosed
a nickel in payment.
Whether the method pays the shop
keeper is not yet a settled question.—

Then Knox Ended the Vacation of
Beef Trust.
While Attorney General Knox was
away recently recovering from his
serious illness, his family were rather
uneasy lest he should have a relapse.
The attorney general was traveling
with a physician who is a persoual
friend. He sent no word' to his home
as to the progress of his recovery, but
after leaving Fort Monroe for New
York he sent a mere notice of his
change in address from the Virginia
resort to New Rochelle. Two days
later Reed Knox, the attorney gen

as "Judge," walked into the office of

Knox, with a joyful smile on his face.
"I know the governor's all right now,"

it because he telegraphed from New
Rochelle to-day for his golf shoes and

Yery few people know how or where

they may be interested to know that
it is a regular business, carried on bv
agents who are of the same nation

who come over are from the Black
Forest, and have a little knowledge
of brass instruments, and they im

description. One of these agents
keeps all kinds of brass instruments
in his house, and could turn out his
German bands by the dozen to annoy

Back to Country.
When the use of electric power be

to a considerable decentralization of
industry. We may see "garden
cities" spring up all over the coun
try, and the old country towns will
again become active centers of life
and industry. At present nearly all
the industries that were once carried
on in our villages have been killed by
the fact that no source of power is.
available which can enable them to
compete with their rivals in the city
factories. Electrical power will change
all that.
Dyeing of Milk.
Evidence is accruing that the prac

bears no relation necessarily to the;
amount of cream present. Annatto is;
the dye commonly used, and it is for-;
