"Well, yours and Violet Cochrane's, for instance," he replied, thought1 * "I don't understand ? she said, raising her head for the second time and chilling him with a look. "We are not at all alike."

Rice, of Cornell University, Ithaca. N. Y.. in the course of an address at the poultry institute at Guelph, Can., said one of the results of withholding lime from pullets was that they ate all their eggs. When lime was supplied they guit the habit. This may account for not a little of the eggeating about which so many farmers I are now complaining. ; v, i - . j a 4' - i _ . i_. i _ Egg-Eating Eiwls Cured. I There are several ways of handling egg-eating birds. They usually behave all right as soon as they get out where they have more room and fresh air, and the shells grow harder, so that all works together to effect a cure. Pending this, darkened nests, raised so that the birds cannot stand and look into them all the time, are helpful. A cloth bottom is sometimes placed above the real bottom of the nest, having a slit for one egg to pass through. In extreme cases an egg has been smeared or mixed with bitter aloes as a lesson of let-alone, which is said to be effective. We have this difficulty occasionally toward spring, but seidom do more than to provide abundant exercise, good food and dark nests. If the sinners can be spotted it is well to coop them by themselves for a time, as such a vice spreads rapidly, especially in an idle flock. Nests may be effectively darkened by tacking a burtop curtain at the top edge, to hang four-fifths of the way down, just so the hens can push them aside easily. ?C. S. Valentine, in the Tribune Farmer. v Humus in the Soil. Professor Whitney, of the Bureau of Soils, says humus acts as a sponge in the soil and absorbs toiic poisons which are given off by the plant roots. However this may be, the farmer must add humus to his soils to make them produce good crops. There are several ways in which hu, ipus is increased in the soil. To make the matter clear to those who do not understand what humus is it might be well to state that humus is the dark-colored mold left after organic matter or vegetable matter has decayed. Then in the light *>f this explanation farmers will understand that any organic matter turned under and allowed to decay will form humus. Barnyard manure, straw, stalks, etc., the plowing under of green growing crops, such as clover, cowpeas, rye or any other crop used generally for green manuring will add humus to the soil. The lack of organic,matter is usually noticed by the soils becoming out of condition. I They run together and cake after heavy rains. When such a condition occurs the farmer should spare no p^ins to add this" highly essential part.?Weekly Witness. Surgery For Trees. The successful treatment of trees by surgery is the subject of a report made recently by a botanist named Eberhardt to the Academy of Sciences, in Paris. M. Eberhardt has practiced it, he says, with entire success in Indo-China. He has often performed operations on tea plants, mulberry trees, orange trees and other tropical plants. Experiments in cold climates have not met with much success so. far, but it is believed the system can be used with advantage in the southern regions of Europe. The operations are not amputations, neither are they ' mere subcutaneous injections, such as have been made successfully in Europe for the cure of some parasitic disease of plants; they are surgical in the strictly modern sense. The method is adopted when the trees are attacked by insects which penetrate the bark and deposit their eggs in the wood. The long-horned beetle is a serious plague in indoChina. The larvae hollow out galleries in the tissue of the trunk and branches; these interrupt the circulation of the sap. and the tree speedily withers and dies. . / Eberhardt's method consists of opening up the gallery with a scalpel, removing the larvae with a forceps or curetting instrument and then flushing out the cavity with an antiseptic fluid, consisting of forty parts of gylcerine, 110 of formaline aud 850 of water. Three or four washings are given at intervals extending over* about fifteen days, and at the end ofthat time cushions of vegetable tissue | begin to appear along the edge of the scar,which heals completely in from six to eight months. It is essential during the first two or three months to protect the wound from light, which seems to stop the formation of new tissue. I When the trunk is so seriously attacked as to render so radical an operation undesirable, M. Eberhardt pricks the cavity in the tree with a trocar, to which he affixes a syringe and injects a solution of ISO parts of formaline, sixty of glycerine and 760 of water. This he forces in until the cavity is filled to overflowing. Either the larvae come to the surface, when they are extracted with the forceps, or else they are poisoned. Two injections are usually made at eight days' interval. The formaline hardly seems to penetrate the woody fiber beyond the surface broken down ' by the parasites. The wound heals In time, and the tree seems to suffer 110 damage from the treatment, while J its inevitable destruction by ihe parai site is prevented.?New York Sum iaffft* >w. \ Convenient Fountain. Once in a while we see among the mass of inventions and contrivances presented by our farm and fruit and poultry papers one that needs no second look to tell that it is an ideal fixture for the intended purpose. A glance shows that it will do its work and do it better than any other arrangement can. And now I come with my little contribution. It is a poultry water fountain, and my excuse for describing it to your readers is that it, too, fills the bill better than anything else of the kind. Fill it in the morning, and your chickens, little or big, havp a ennvpnipnt snnnlv nf pIphtj water for the day. Cet your tinner fo make a straightsided gallon bucket, of tin or galvanized iron, with a cover soldered on airtight. Cut one side loose from the bottom for a length of four or five inches and hammer the loosened side back toward the centre of the bottom.

There are many poultry fountains made on the same principle, but none that I have seen or heard of that so completely protects the water from filth. As there is no extension from J the original circumference of the bucket nothing can drop in the water from above. The drinking place seems small, and it would be small for a cow, but is not for a chicken. Often I have seen five and six grown hens drinking from it at once. . To fill it, hold the opening under a faucet or use an <jld kettle with a spout, or submerge it in a larger bucket. To empty, lay on the ground, opening down. For little chicks, set it on the floor or ground; for those of larger growth, in a winter pen or scratching shed, set it on a block eight or ten inches high and turn the opening away from j the most active scratching operations. Try it. It will save you lots of work and your chickens many a thirsty, hour when you are absent, or when they have your pans or open fountains scratched full of chaff and dir-t^ It is not patented, and any tinner can make one for a little more than the cost of a gallon bucket.?E. J. Baird in New York Tribune Farmer. Farm Notes. In a clover country a farmer wno j owns a rreed liuller can make from $3 to $10 with it, net, by hulling for his neighbors. A good tool to cut turf around trees and along borders of walks can be made from an old hoe. Bend the shank out straight and sharpen from both sides. ? Iu calculating the size of the silo which you will need, the Cornell University bulletin says that it is advisable to estimate than an average 1000-poui^d cow will consume about forty pounds of silage per day. If you do not know how handy i they are, attach chains to your man- j gers, the hitching post, and wherever j you want to fasten a horse. Have a j good snap in the end of the chain I which can be quickly attached to the j bit rein. When ventilating poultry houses or j hog houses, let the ventilator take in I air about twelve inches from the bot- i torn and carry it up to within twelve j inches of the top before the next opening is made. The ventilator should run diagonally through the house. A good hog fence can be made by nncto fhrofi fppf his"h sixteen Ovllllijj ^/VWVw vm* vv * . ^? feet apart. Run a barbed wire three inches from t,he ground and another on the top. Then nail on good strong, wire netting thirty inches wide.

I do not hesitate to say that in my /judgment, a large percentage of disease is caused by poorly selected and improperly prepared food. My per- ' sonal experience with the fully-cooked food, known as Grape-Nuts, enables me to speak freely of its merits. "From overwork, I suffered several years with malnutrition, palpitati9n of the heart, and loss of sleep. Last summer I was led to experiment per- sonally with the new food, which I used in conjunction with good rich cow's milk. In a short time"after I commenced its use, the disagreeablesymptoms disappeared, my heart's actinn became steady and normal, the functions of the stomach were properly carried out and I again slept as soundly and as well as in my youth. "I look upon Grape-Nuts as a perfect food, and no one can gainsay but that it has a most prominent place in a rational, scientific system of feeding. Any one who uses this food will soon be convinced of the soundness of the 'principle upon which it is, manufactured and may thereby know, the facts as to its true worth."
