The recruiting office In this city has hung cn Its walls a Chinese flag which was captured from the Chlneje forces by the Ninth Infantry of the United States In command of Col. Llsenm. The flag Is twelve feet long and Is shaped as an uneven triangle. The base, which was fastened to the pole. Is six feet wide. A many colored dragon four feet long, with fiety tongue Is striving to reach a bloody moon Just out of his reach. The dragon Is In this position oa the flag to show the Chinese belief that the empire would put down that moon could it reach It. Several bullet holes decorate the yellow portion which surrounds the moon and the dragon. The finest of workmanship Is displayed on the flag. The toes, eyes and the fiery moon are carefully Inlaid against the sombre background. The Chinese flagmakers consider a well made flag an estimate of their love for the emperor. The crimson moon and the fiery tongue do not attract the attention of the observer as does the blood which Is spattered in ' many places on the flag. The blood Is sure to remind that war Is not of the gentlest occupations. Wichita Eagle. . Tio Reciprocity. Mrs. Iligbmus (on the way back) What a tiresome call that was!

Look cut for any weak or broken places in the hay rigging. It is no fun and it may be re.illy dangerous to have a breakdown with a load of bay on. When buying a whetstone, don't got one that Is too coarse. One with a fine grind w ill be the best by all odds. You can't set a good edge on a scythe or anything else with a coarse stone. Laws have recently been enforced in a few States whereby automobi lists must stop at a wave of the hand. Formerly it was necessary to take a shot across the front of the car to secure attention. Procrastination spoils the hoies of many a nice crop of tomatoes, cabbage or celery. First we wait for the seeds, then for them to grow, and then for a good rain prospect. The next thing the plants are left unwatered and the old hen does the rest. When heavy winds come up, shut the doors at the barn and at the house. If you don't you may find your roof away over in the back lot, and that would not be much fun. More than one building has been unroofed by leaving the doors open In a storm. The Idea In getting boys Interested In farm life and Its oierations Is" to let them follow the line of work they like best. If the boy shows 'preference to work with machinery, with stock or with crops and gardening, why, let him follow his bent We need specialists. Illinois agricultural fairs will hemafter receive from the State funds aa amount equal to 40 per cent of premium money offered on exhibits. All gambling and gambling devices must be, prohibited, as well as the sale of Intoxicants. This is certainly an ince tive to clean fairs. One of the best things you can do O make the mowing machine work Je ter is to take off the guards, If they are somewhat worn, and grind theia along the edges that come next to tie sections. It is quite a job, but it pajs well. Take a day before haying realiy commences so that the work may im be delayed. and see if you do not find It profitable. When one stops to compare ttj amount of close and constant attention ' that the farmer must give to his woik with that which other business mn give to their resiectlve labors there la not so much cause to complain.

The best species of sleep Is found cat the farm. Fruit for the Family. For family use there Is no necessity for having six or seven varieties cf a single kind of fruit. Karly, medium and late varieties may be used, but It is better to have a variety of a klad that is prolific and satisfactory thaju to have the land occupied with several varieties that seldom produce crop-?. Wolf Teeth. The old superstition about wJf teeth In horses is still considered with a good deal of respect by some ieop!e. Many horse troubles are attributed to these supernumerary teeth, when in reality the trouble comes from another source. Competent authorities say that wolf teeth never cause eye trouble or blindness and do no harm unless they Injure the cheek or the tongue by being out of position so that the bit hurts the mouth. Shedding of the molar teeth sometimes causes wire eyes, which Is believed to be waif teeth. We do not believe In the barbarous custom of punching out the teeth unless a competent veterinarian advices It.

Savins: Snffl Potato. Crop. Professor G. W. Carver, director of the Tuskegee Institute, of Alabama, has been experimenting for five years to discover the best way of saving swt potatoes. His conclusions are, that the belief that many jeopIe have that swet potatoes will not keep unless plant!, dug and hanked during certain phax-s of the moon, is all wrong. Immature potatoes are subject to all kinds of diseases which attack txe HCtbers when stored. Professor Career makes the following suggestions for caring for the crop: Dig when both the air and ground are dry. Itemove the vines with a sharp hoe or vine cutter. Cure the vines and store them away. They make excellent hay. Dig before the frost Injures the vines to any extent. Dig In the morning and allow the potatoes to He out all day. Gather In baskets or boxes holding not more than one bushel each. Handle with great care, as they arc easily bruised, and every Injury lessens their keeping qualities. To Teach the Ileal TMnjf. The State of New York took a forward step last winter when It appropriated $'J0,00O to establish a new school of agriculture In St. Lawrence county. This movement Is entirely distinct from the work already being carried on at Cornell Institute. The thought in the mind of the man who secured the passage of the hill providing the sum mentioned for this purpose Is to establish still other schools In different parts of the State where the young men of New York may be educated as first class farmers. That such additional support may be given to the cause of agriculture, It stands the farmers of the Empire State, and any other State as well, to fend their sons to farm colleges In

such numbers that it shall be a fact known and read of all men that they appreciate the value of a liberal education in their profession of tilling the soil. There is n- dinger that farners will ever know loo much about tlieir business. Where they have failed in the past is In thinking that anybody can be a farmer. Only the best and most intelligent men succeed to-day on the farm.

praj!nK Apple In Ilry Weather. During tho past few seasons many apple growers in New York State have noticed injury to fruit and foliage by the bordeaux mixture applied to prevent scab.. In some cases this has been so great as to cause more harm than tho scab, untreated, would have done: but spraying should not be abandoned on that ground; for should a bad year for scab come the loss from the disease would overbalance the spray injury of many years. That such iujury Is a reality, however, Is very plainlj- shown in a bulletin of the New York Agricultural Experiment Station (Geneva). Many of the most prominent and best apple growers cf the State report such InJury, notably lu 1004 and 1005; horticulturists in other States have noted and stutfJed similar trouble, and in a test at the station In IDOd marked evidences of bordeaux injury were shown on practically all the trees treated. The test proved very clearly that It is the bordeaux mixture that causes the Injury, not the arscuites used with it, that weather conditions have much to do with the development of the russeting of the fruit and spotting the leaves wh!ch characterize the trouble, that an excess of f lime Is not a preventive o? the injury, and that strong bordeaux causes greater injury than weaker mixtures. The station recommends spraying ic dry weather, If possible and suggests a trial of tin? 3-3-50 formula for bordeaux. Co!d Storage for Apple. The farmers of the West are indebted to the Illinois Experiment Station for the results of an experiment that has lcn going on for some yeary to determine the most practical method of cold storage of apples. While i; Is somewhat of a trick in a good deal of our territory to grow the finest quality of winter apples-, there Is 111 tie difficulty In growing such sorts as tne Dutchess of Oldenburg and other fall apples. Farmers here and there lu Iowa have adopted the plan of puttie these In cold storage, so that they can be sold at a profit an sometimes this profit has been very siderable. ' The obj;?t of the Illinois Station has leen to determine whether the commercial grower of apples, or an Individual farmer, r several farmers together, could affoid to construct a cold-storag:? house with a capacity of from 2,(HK) to 3,(XK barrels, depending upon ice and natuif.l temperature for cooling the same, and do so at a profit. We do not go Ir.lo the details of the exierment. but simply give the conclusion? based on the exierience of several years as follows:M. A storage-house having a capacity of LVX) to 3KJO barrels and dependent inxm Ice and natural temperature for cooling the same, may be constructed for $3,4:.40. Such a house will provide a grower or a community of growers, '-old-storage facilities approxlinatlEg that found in refrigerating plants at a cost uot to exceed twenty cents a barrel. "2. Th smaller jjrower cannot afford to lr.sulate an underground cellar, as sr.h places are jM)rly adapted to keeping apples compaied tc- other cold-storag? houses. "3. The best temperature for keeItg apples Is 31 degrees. "4. Fruit keeps when allowed to mature, provided it does not become too riic. "ö. Delny in sorting fruit after picking results In greater loss than wheve fruit is fjared directly. "U. It I indicated that newspapers, cither prated or imprinted, are the most efficient wrappers for applet placed In cold storage." MUe Ilaate In llaylns. The ncrer hay approaches gras the better feed It makes. To accomplish thia, It is necessary to cut the crop early to secure It !n good condition. In the first blossom is the ideal time. Farmers used to think it neevssary to dry hay excessively before storing. Advanced ideas have proed this method entirely wrong. The natural juicos of the hay should be retained as far as iosslbIe. Excess?ve drying makes the 'hay -dry and woody, and removes a large part of its natural juices. I commence haying usually the last week In June, says a writer In Farm and Home, and, weather penuitthig, my hay is stored during July. I find it a good plan to put the mower on late in the afternoon. This leaves It for the first sun in the morning and it wilts a good deal during the night, which aids the drying nxt day. II cut in the morning heavy with dew, It take half the forenoon to get the water out of It. Some think the dew will color hay cut in the afternoon, but It will not do so unless cut early enough to dry considerably. The middle of the forenoon the tedder should be put on .tnd worked until noon. The tedder Is the most valuable hay tool that we hate. With out It much hay would get wet, that otherwise Is safely stored In semi-dull weather. Hay dries very fast when constantly stirred. This Is only posslble with a tedder. liy one o'clock the hay Is ready tc rake and cart, unless it is very early in the season or very heavy hay. In that case It should be put up in good sized cocks and left until the next day, when it should be opened a little tc air, then carted to the barn. Most of thtf necessary drying has been accomplished In the cooks. There Is little danger of hay mowburning from the natural Juices; It is caused by Introducing hay that ha been wet. For this reason It Is essential that hay that has been wet should be thoroughly dried lefore storing. The quicker hay Is cured after cutting the tetter it Is. Swale hay require more drying than timothy or clover tc secure it from mow-burning. Swale should be cut early; It is pructlcallj worthless cut late.

PLAGUE OF 3JIKDS IN ENGLAND.

Ilenlt of Crnsade for Protection Dallae of Sparrows and Finches. The protection of birds in England has reached such a stage that they have become a nuisance and now It is not unlikely that a systematic war will be waged on them. The complaint Is not of the game birds, which pay in sport and In the market. It Is the little feathered creatures that are bothering the farmers and gardeners. Of course, the sparrows are the worst. They have grown to millions in the southern part of England and the Kentish farmers have had to organize battues to reduce their numbers, as they were devouring seed and grain and destroying fruit to a ruinous extent. Tens of thousands of them have been shot or caught with birdlime. In Herefordshire, just north of London, the l ullliuches are the worst offenders, swarms of them darken the air and settle down on the fields ar.'l lu the orchard. The statement made is that they absolutely denude the trees of fruit. Each npple or pear Las only a little peck taken from It, but it Is thrown tc the ground nd rendered totally unmarketable. The farmers and fruit nilsers here talk of organizing formal hunts to thin out the flocks of birds. Starlings have also become extremely numerous and are badly In need of slaughter, the country, people say. The pigeons are the only birds constantly shot all the year around in England, and In spite of this their number never seems to diminish. In one farm outf-ido of London the proprietor reports that he shot recently 310 pigeons in a single day. Farmers and gardeners and fruit growers are proposing to memorialize the government for the establishment of a scientific system to combat the Increase of sparrows, finches, starlings, crows and pigeons in the interest of husbandry and horticulture. New York Sun. USED SAME YEAST 60 YEAES. Original Seed," Stolen In Ireland, Still IlalKlnR read. Nicholas Curran, a milkman and farmer, near Bangor, Me., has for sixty years made jcast bread with yeast, the original seeds of which were brought from Galway In a sailing vessel by his aunt, Barbara Curran, in the summer of the great faminj of 1847. The yeast 13 claimed to I cf a particularly lively and explosive character, having the force to burst stone jugs and shatter champagne bottles. The family tradition asserts that the original use of the yeast wa. for the brewing of powerful ales on the Blake estate. Just out from Galway, where the Blak es had an extensive tenantry, including not a few Currans. The family story goes that one of the old ""seed" Currans, and a near kinsman of John rhllpot Curran, the Irish patriot, being Intoxicated one night, crept Into the Blake cellar and stole a Jug of what he took to be double proof ale, but on reaching home he discovered Jt was yeast, whereupon, to square himself with his wife, he Informed her that it was a gift from "Lady" Blake, which pleased Curran's wife so much that she nursed her husband back to sobriety and ever after retained the seeds of the celebrated Blake yeast In the Curran family. When young Barbara Curran, with her tin trunk and her young baby, set sail for America to join her husband, potatoes were so high that she paid 4 shillings for three small tubers, but, as she needed fresh potatoes to keep her precious yeast alive, she paid the price, and during the forty days voyage between Galway and Boston she renewed the yeast four times. One of Mrs. Curran's last acts was to pass a bottle of the famous Blake yeast to "Nick," the frandnephew of her husband, and tell him to retain the Feed In his family for all time. Since then hundreds of persons have sought In vain to secure as much as a tensjpoonful of the Ulake yeast from the milkman, but to every applicant he shakes his head sorrowfully and says: "Twas the wish of the dead that I keep It, and keep It I will. Go In and eat all the yeast bread you want, and welcome, but there Is not money enough In America to coax me Into selling a drop of the yeast." The Blind of Cairo. The first thing that Impresses the stranger In Cairo Is the number of blind men, women and children to be found everywhere, In the shops and on the streets. Ophthalmia Is very prevalent throughout Egypt. Because of superstition concerning "the evil eye" the natrTe mothers of the middle or the lower class do not wash the eyes of their babies at all. Watching the files buzing unheeded around and upon these blind children, a stranger hastens to buy a fly whisk. These are for sale everywhere and are quite attractive, with their ornaments of fancy beads and palm leaf fiber. Blind beggars greet one at every corner. Even In the high, class Egyptian families there are many blind. The lower classes of Egyptians are given much to hasheesh that is, the lower classes in the large cities and, although It is against the law to sell It, one will have the hasheesh places pointed out, and the men who smoke the drug are seen everywhere.' They are distinguished by the peculiar appearance of their eyes, which become red, swollen and baggy underneath, and by the peculiar color of tho skin, which resembles somewhat the skin of a Chinese opium smoker. Leslie's Veekly. The L.at Step. When we reach the higher studies of foreign languages we are told to seek diligently to learn to think In the alien tongue, as well as to read and write It. That Is, we are expected to catch the meaning of the strange words without uny connection with English or English speech. From this one may come to appreciate the experience of a certain Porto Klean negro. He was asked, not very long after his arrival lu the United States, if English was very dilhcult for jim. "Oh, no," lie said. "I learn her ver' quick." "So you could understand it and talk it?" "Oil, yes, ver good. But I have one trouble ver' long time. I speak good, an I hear good, but cannot dream In English. I alway dream in Spanish. An' I feel ver bad, an I try so hard to dream English. An one night I do. I dream English when I am asleep, an' I wake an' I cry, an I weep for joy. I am happy. I can now dream In English." If a girl is happy It's a sign that her clothes are satisfactory.

Snakes are much maligned creatures, although they are, for the most part, of considerable value to man, as they live almost entirely on Insects" and the small rodents that are Injurious to crops. Of all the snakes that Inhabit North America there are really only four that are dangerous. These arc the copperhead, the moccasin, the rattlesnake and a little snake of southern Georgia and Florida known as the coral snake. Of course there are a number of different species of the rattler (about thirty), but they inhabit different parts of the country and are ell to be known from the fact that they "rattle" when approached. All the rest of our snakes are absolutely harmless, and their bite is to be less feared than that of a mosquito. Scrap Rook. Au Ancient Trayer.
