Water, particularly salt water, seems to conduce to longevity. There are gigantic mussels and oysters whose age is assumed to be comparable only with that of the Cape Verde baobab tree and the big tree of California, which live for 5,000 years. Indeed, there appears no particular reuson why mussels should evei die, though it Is also true that, considering the sort of life a mussel leads, there seems no particular reason why u ^'iiId ever have lived. Sea &ii?tflones, again, delicate and sensitive thougt^Qf look when we see them in the rock pools^^nay at- , tain great age. Sir John Dalydl, a Scottish naturalist, captured In 1828 a sea anemone of the liver-colored sort so common around our shores Its age was then estimated at seven years. It flourished in Edinburgh until 1887, and was Just attaining a vigorous and sober maturity when, from some unknown cause, it died.?Loudon Mail. Right Course. The late Edward Dowden was being discussed In Philadelphia. "Dowden's style was ponderous and somber," said a sonneteer, "bat I often met him in Dublin, and his talk, unlike his writing, sparkled with true Irish wit. "I onco told him of my mapy. vain efforts to swear oft, and of my resolve, none the less, to make another trial. "'Right!' said Professor Dowden. "Right' Turn over a new leaf. You needn't mention to any one the number of the page.'" Neighborly. Not long since a man moved into a certain village. After a week or so a friend railed on him and asked how he liked his new home. "Pretty well," he said. "Have you called on your neighbors yet?" "No," he replied; "but I'm going to If any more of my wood is mksing." CLEARED AWAY Proper Food Put the Troubles Away. Our own troubles alvfays seem more severe than any others. But when a man is unable to eat even a light breakfast, for years, without severe distress, he has trouble enough. It is small wonder he likes to tell o food which cleared away the tioubler "I am glad of the opportunity to tell of the good Grape-Nuts has done for me," writes a N. II. man. "For many years I was unable to eat even a iigut ureakrast without great suffering. "After eating I would suddenly be seized with an attack of colic and vomiting. This would be followed by headache and misery that would some- j times last a week or more, leaving me y ' so weak I could hardly sit up or walk. "Since I began to eat Grape Nuts I have been free from the old troubles, j I usually eat Grape-Nuts one or more times a day, taking it at the beginning of the meal. Now I can eat almost anything 1 want without trouble. "When I began to use Grape-Nuts I was way under my usual weight, now I weigh 30 pounds moro than I ever weighed in my life, and I am glad to speak of the food that has worked the change."

Having Blundered in Initial Move He Now Proceeds to Crowning Folly ot Purchasing Cheap StockWay for Success. Practically all beginners are honest In their belief In the business, but It seems at times that the simple element of common sense 1b woefully lacking in the majority of cases-r-perhaps because common sense is not so common after all, writes W. B. Thomas, in Utility Pigeons. Having blundered in his initial move, he now proceeds to the crowning folly of which he can be guilty? he buyB cheap stock because it is cheap. He is either victimized by the proverbially conscienceless dealer, or he takes tho stock of some fellow who has already demonstrated himself a failure; in either case he gets a sorry lot of birds. Now suppose that instead of committing the usual folly, the beginner applies a little of that golden specific that I mentioned above,?common sense. Instead of an old shack, suppose he provides a good rnt-proof house, built on plans approved by experienced breeders; then suppose he looks up some good, reliable breeder Squab3 One Week Old. and invests in a few, well-mated work in* uiruti. men, uaving posted himsel? as fully as possible by reading good pigeon literature, let him give his stock that careful attention indispensable to the well-being of all living things, and it will not take a very talented prophet to predict a result quite at variance with the one first outlined. Squabs die in the nest or are found on the floor or do not fatten up properly, when the old birds are not fed properly. A young squab is not to be compared with a young chick. A very young chick can run about and help itself to food and water and the other necessities of life; whereas the squab is utterly helpless at its birth, and is uneble to walk and must be fed in the nest by the parent bird and with whatever the parent birds may feed it. The watchful pigeon man is the one who gives his flocks the best of care. He keepB them in health by noting the first signs of ailment. Hay Should Not Sunburn. The feeding value, as well as tha market valuo, and palatability of hay is lowered by being sunburned. The feeding value is probably hurt most by the loss of leaves. Sunburned clover and alfalfa lose a large part of the leaves in handling, and this is the best part of the crop. When the sun is shining very brightly the alfalfa or grass should not be left in the swath long. A large part of the curing should be done in the windrow and the cock. Most of the hay is then shaded and so the damag iiik t'ueut or intense sunshine is reduced to the exposed portion. And a stock cover will still further lessen the injury from the sun as well as from rain. There is nothing the matter with the hen that shows a bright eye and u red comb. Exercise is a better laying stimulant for the hens ban heat-producing condiments. Establish, if possible, a brand of eggs which will In itself be a guarantee of good quality. Green food of some kind, is necessary to mako hens do their best in the lino of egg production. Eggs ought to weigh a pound and a half to tho dozen or fifty-five pounds net tn the thirtv <imnn ? ~tssa, It is poor policy to change the quarters of hens or pullets whilo laying, for it usually checks or stops egg production. Experiments show that chickens with strong vitality and plenty of masculine characteristics make the largest gains. The best place for the incub: tor is the one where the temperature is most nearly uniform from day to day, under natural conditions, Collect tho eggs regularly at least once, better twice, a day in moderato weather and more frequently in very warm and very cold weather. Where green cut bone is fed, about 4 ounces a week fed in small quantities at a time is a good average allowance per hen. It need not be fed every day. If taken at a very early age chickens can be taught to come and go at certain times, to feed In a certain way and do other things that will save time and annoyance. HABIT OF EXCHANGING EGGS ... A . * * Exeroise of Little- Care in Gathering and Selecting Will Net Advance Over Common Price. There is no satisfaction and but very little money in exchanging eggs for groceries or grain. By being careful in gathering eggs, so that they won't become chilled in winter and so the hens won't sit on them over night and using a little care in sizing and selecting, quite an advance over the common prices may be obtained. When possible, sell your eggs direct to the consumer. If not possible, get a market in your nearest city with some grocer who deals in strictly | fancy groceries and provisions. Agree to furnish him only strictly fresh egga, and then, for your own sake, live up to the agreement. Carefully clean all the eggs; don't send small, misshapen or large ones. Stamp each egg with a rubber stamp, using your initials or the name of your farm, and in a short time you will have created a demand for your eggs, and when you have created such a demand your eggs will bring the highest prices, considerably more than your storekeeper would pay. Several neighbors should send their eggs together, paying a cent or two per dozen to one of their number for doing the business, and in this way all would gain a little. SOWING SEEDS TOO DEEPLY Smaller Vegetables and Flowers Can Hardly Be Covered Too Lightly With the Soil. More seeds are probably killed by sowing or covering too deeply than too lightly. It is no uncommon thing to find small seeds covered with a quarter or over half an inch of soil. Thousands so deeply sown perish, germs either never come to life at all or are'quite unequal to coping with such a weight of covering earth. Only the larger seeds of vegetables should be sown from a quarter to one inch in depth. Peas, beans and such like seeds may go underground two or three inches but the smaller vegetables and ilower seeds can hardly be covered too lightly, provided they are covered. It should always be borne in mind that deep sowing ruins more seeds than any other fault or mistake. GARDEN PLOW MADE AT HOME Implement Is Inexpensive, Easy to Put Together and Will Give Mo6t Excellent Results. A garden plow is a very useful article, but many people do not have garden enough to make it worth while buying ono. I have a home-made plow that I find very useful. Any boy handy with tools can make one like it, writes Fred L. Doty of Mound Valley, Kan., in the Farmers Mail and Breeze. A and 11 are pieces of 15 by 4. At ono end of B a rectangular hole is mortised into which A lits and is bolted. The other end of 11 is mortised out to form the forks for the 12-inch wheel. The wheel is from an old baby carriage, with the rubber tire removed. This leaves a hollow shaped 1 ?J Home-Made Garden Plow. rim which rides over the ground bet ter than a flat rim would. 1) is one of the tools which may be used foi cultivation. A Binall cultivator shove! will answer tho purpose. Other tools for garden working will suggest themselves to the ingenuity of the maker The two iron strips bolted from A tc 11 have several holes at the upper end to make them adjustable. The handle braces are also of iron strips. The handles are made of soft pine. This plow does fine work and one person can do as much with it as three persons can with ordinary hoes. To Prevent Oat Smut. Tho Minnesota method: First, thoroughly clean tho seed by rinsing It through several waters, taking one pound (one pint) of formalin and pour into a barrel containing iO to 4.ri gallons of water. Place the grain in a gunny sack and dip it into this barrel until you are satisfied that every grain has been made wet. Then take tho oats out. and dry them. They may bo kept for several days before they aro sown. Lease Swellings Alone. Tho largo swellings that occasionally appear in front of tho knees of wuif, punicumny ?m COWK, is properly known as hygroma. It is usually filled with a watery or straw-colored fluid. Opening or other surgical opt ration is not advisable, except l>y a competent veterinarian. These swellings usually do no harm, and most of tho cases are most wisely left alone.
