Certain species not onl> harvest and

which they feed, but actually plant
and cultivate an annual crop of tbeir
food seeds Wtlll wore remarkable
atoriea are told of an ant that la com
mon in Dalmatla, tbe Ifeaaor bar

Dresden forestry school, tbla ant not
only cuta leave* and gathera aeeds,
but actually makes bread or blacuit!
Tbe aeeds are Aral sprouted, then car
ried Into tbe aun and dried, then
taken back to the underground chant
here, wh?*re ih?y are chewed Into a
dough. The d"u8h la then Anally
made into thin cakea, which are baked
In the sun, then carefully atored for
future use.
Prom these obaervatlona It would
appear that the art of cookery ia not
confined to the human race. All the
cooking la done by the aun, whether
In the ripening of the fruit or in the
baking of bread In a atove. The beat
obtained from fuel is Hixnply atored

the native Mexican speak of ripe fruit
as fruit which has been cooked in
the sun. The ant baa somehow
learned the art of sun cookery, the
saliva with which it moi?ten8 the

aweetening through changea aet up

TWINS HELD CRYING MATCH
Boys Adopted Ruse Whereby They
Sought to Compel Parents to Qlve
Them Their Qlfta.
?' ? . ? ' V ? .4#
The editor of a publication devoted
to humor once told an Interviewer
that the best sort of "funny stuff '
was the spontaneous utterance of a
child ? a remark with which all fon<l
parents will coincide. Made by man,
humor is prone to be machine-made,
but the humor of children ia unin
tentional. All of which leads up to
an Incident chronicled by a father
recently. b ?
There are two children in the fam
ily ? two boys. They are twins. Every
year they have received sweets on
their birthday..? Thla-voar the wait for
the goodies was seemingly longer
than ever before, and each pleaded
that the favor be handed out on the
night before their birthday.
The father, believing that sufficient
unto tho day 1b the good as well as
the _evll thereof, declined to deliver
tbe trophies before the sun arose.
And Juat aB earnestly as he refused,
Just aB earnestly did the boys plead.
Finally, in desperation, he sent them
to bed.
Mother had tenderly tucked the cov
ers around them, turned down tbe
light, and rejoined father, when a
groat crying sounded from the bed
room, to which no attention was paid.
This crying continued for some time,'
and then came a lull, in which the
parents heard the crying boy remark
to his brother:
"Come on now, Hay, you cry some;
I'm all tlred'out!"
An Obedient Maid.
Tho mistress came downstairs and
tried tho door of the sitting room, only
to ilnd it locked against her, while the
key, which was usually in the lock,
was missing.
"Bridget, I can't get into the sitting
room," she cried.
"Shure's it's meself knows that; an'
yfi won't, for I hev the kay in me
pocket."
"Will yez go in if I do?"
"Certainly 1 "will."
"Then yez won't get the kay."
"Open the door, I say. What do
you mean?"
"Shure, It's by your own orders.
JuBt yesterday ye Bald: 'Don't let me
come downstairs in the morning an'
see any dust on the sitting room fur
niture.' So I just puts the kay in me
pocket, an', says I, 'then she shan't.' "

This was Mount Mazama, a great vol

of 11 fo upon earth, towered high above
any mountain now within tho boun
daries of the United States. Thou
sands of years ago it disappeared into
tho bowels of tho earth. Crater lake,

ROOSTER LOWERS EGO YIELD
Interesting Tests Mad* at Now York
Experiment Station on Presence
of Males In Flock.
The belief used to be general many
years ago that hens would not lay
without the presence of a male bird
in the flock. And even today there
are a few people that contend the
male stimulates egg production to a
greater or less extent. Men who
have raised poultry for years Htttt
cliiiK to this notion and persist in
keeping a lot of males banging about
where only eggs are wanted.
The New York Experimental sta- j
lion made up foufr pens of pullets,
two consisting of pure-bred stock and
two of mixed stock. With one pen of
each class cockerels were kept, while
with the others none were allowed.
The cockerels were put with the two
pens two months before any began
laying. Home pullets in each of the
two pens In which no cockerels were
put began laying a month before any (
in the two containing cockerels. The
fowls were of the Asiatic breeds and
rather persistent sitters. No attempt
was made to discourage any of the
hens from sitting, and there seemed
to be no difference in the relative
number of sitters in the contrasted
pens. Of the cross-bred pullets the
lot without males laid better through
out the season and also during the
best egg season. Of the other lot
the one without males began laying
earlier and did better than the one
with males during the first part of
the season, but it fell slightly behind
for the latter months, though during
that period they kept even with the
lot which was accompanied by males.
It was thought that the vi'ee of feath
er eating which broke out in this pen
had much to do with the falling off
in egg production.
From these experiments It would
seem that the presence of males has
a detrimental influence upon the egg
yield. This Is also the theory ad
vanced by many in recent years, and
it is now pretty generally accepted
by prominent egg farmers.
HINTS ON DUCKS AND GEESE
Newly Hatched Goslings Weigh About
Four Ounces? Turkeys Are
Slow at the Start.
A Pekin duckling weighs about two
ounces when hatched and should take
on weight as follows: Three to four
weeks, 1, pound; six to eight weeks,
4 to 4'4 pounds; and at ten weeks.
White China Geese.
to G pounds. Ducklings should be j
marketed from nine to twelve weeks!
of age. After that they tako on weight
slowly, and it Is not profitable to keep
them longer than twelve weeks.
Geese grow about as rapidly as
ducks. Allowance of course 'must bo
made for the original difference in ;
eize ? newly hatched goslings weigh
ing about four ounces. Turkeys do
not grow rapidly at the start, but de
velop much quicker after three months
of age.
mm note
It is hard to fatten a stunted
chicken. ;
I Joy a and girls should be encouraged
to raiso poultry.
Wet feet are just as bad for hens
as they are for folks.
Tho hen that lays 150 eggs in a
year is doiru: mighty good laying.
For tho city market there is noth
ing between the broiler and roaster.
Every week there should bo a fresh
supply of clean, fino earth in tho flust
box.
No wonder some men's hens never
weigh .anything. The lice have just
about .carried them away.
. Nobody wants to buy a dirty egg,
and the only way to keep tho eggs
clean is to keep the nests clean.
