To the farmer who has his land good' condition to furnish what necessary for the proper care of lhe stock, and lias become convinced Ihut it would be to his advantage to hake a start in the work, the next lucstion is, how shall I begin? This looks like an easy question to an- | weaned. are neglected tho more worthless'they become to man, and tlio better fitted, they become to stand hardships and privations. Thus the improved bog, if turned loose in the woods, in a few generations becomes a razon- back, the Shorthorn or Hereford as- lean, gaunt and" muscular as a Texan long horn, and the mutton sheep gains in speed and activity at' the expense of fleece and mutton. The tendency of all live stock is to revert to its natural condition when left to care for itself) and tho llolstcin or Jersey that gave milk nine or ten months in the year, in a few generations rlrioa up as soon as its cald is It has been the skill of the LIGHT THROWN ON" CANCER.

If tll0m so valuable as producers of lie does not have capital to buy lood stock, he at least has time to trow it, so that he must determine I'hich he slxall depend upon most in ���lis work. If he decides in favor of hue ho will, as, a rule, find it the |:afest^plan, as very few men can go Into the market with a sum of money, purchase freely in any line of litock, 'and feci entirely satisfied with Lhe result.' We have seen a good Inany herds and flocks started in that ���nanner, ' unci . many proved failures. Irhoso that did not wore saved . by changing their breeding stock after Lhey had learned to buy what they ranted and not what the other man ranted to sell. To the man who [starts'in slowly, and studies the busi- liess carefully, there is little danger loss and good opportunities for miiig ^ , ��� A. PROFITABLE BUSINESS. If * the farmer has' some ordinary. |iative, - or unimproved female stock 5ti hand, ,progress is comparatively jasy'and not at ,all expensive when returns are consihered. He purchases or uses the improved sires swned by his neighbors of the particular breed ho thinks most suitable liar his purposes. Having made the first cross he should stick to the same breed, selecting each time some >f tho best females to add to his |flock or herd, and replace others that not up to his standard. It sires ���are carefully - chosen each succeeding Icross will show an improvement, and tby the time he has females with four ���straight crosses of an improved ���breed, ho lias animals that are practi- Ically as useful to the farmer as if Ith'ey were pure bred. His added cost Ito secure ���" such animals, compared ���with-the unimproved ..stock would lliavo cost him, would "be in a little [better feeding, the cost for usojof im- |pi-ovdd sires, and better shelter than lis usually given scrub stock. This ���would only be a small part of the [benefit he would receive from the im- Iprovomcnt he had made. Whether the ���improvement had been made in cat- Itle. sheep or hogs tho results would Ibe equally good. Meanwhile he had 1 learned the business of caring for the Istock, making the best selections for Icurrying on the work of improve- |ment, and at a minimum of cost. Tin's is tho safest plan for the new J beginner, and substitutes time, which lhe has, for money that ho does not ��� have. I-Te does not run in debt and J have to pay interest. The danger is jth'at ho will not persistently follow I the' coureo I'TRST MRKHD OUT land will shift from one breed to an- I other so that his stock becomes mon- jgerlized, and no better for practical [purposes than when he first began its. (improvement. Or ho may get a half- Jblood male that looks so good that lhe decides to breed to him, and a [greater mistake could not be made, aij the progeny is nearly certain to [show inoro of the scrub dam than I of the half-blood sire. Tt should always be borne in mind [that unimproved animals, or scrubs, arc f.trongly bred, as they arc the rc- IsuIL of their environment. They have (been neglected, and nature, which never makes mistakes, adapts them for I their surroundings. Tho more they POOD AND CLOTHING. As soon as tlio feed becomes scanty and no shelter is provided, the animal reverts to its natural form, arid while enabled to maintain itself is unable to do any more. The conditions that produced the improvement in the first place must bo continued or all that Has been gained will be thrown away. It is therefore'important that the farmer arranges to pro- viri'o food and shelter before starting to improve his stock, for if he docs not he will never realize much benefit from his work. Good live stock on a farm has a moral influence that should not be ignored. Its' tendency is to make better farmers, and to., interest ' the farmer and his family in improving their surroundings. , Tt also develops sociability, for good cattle, or sheep, or h'ogs, will always draw tho attention of neighbors. It also acts as a strong incentive for them to improve their stock also. Good stock, therefore, is always doing, missionary work in a neighborhood, and is a benefit to tho entire commubily. A good farmer will not long be content with scrub stock, nor will a scrub farmer ever keep improved stock. If ho starts in, one or two things will happen, either the farmer improves or tho stock (i'oteriorates, and soon becomes worthless. The kind of stock a farmer keeps is therefore a prcttv pood indoff of the kind of farming he is doing. FERTILITY OF OKCIIAR'DS. From an article, on fruit growing by ,a correspondent, we take the following remarks on the necessity of keeping up the fertility of the soil in orchards: "Wo have often heard the question asked as to what "would bo the best fertilizer for orchards, and I know many cases the, answer has been brains. Now in the use of brains as a fertilizer 1 think we would find something more expensive than com-, mevcial fertilizer, as wo call it. One cannot make a free use of their brains in studying out what they shall use. The soil and the plant food it con- 1ains are something like a bank. So long as your deposit is good your checks are honored, aud the larger your deposit tho be! ter your credit. We can see from this that the soil is a kind of storehouse for plant food to be taken up and used by our crops. The soil where we grow our trees has been mostly doribed from the breaking down of the rocks, and although there is an immense amount of plant food there, very few soils contain in available form food more than enough to last two or three years and give maximum crops. The thing for us to do is to learn how to get the most food out of this soil and how to have at all times an ample supply. You have many times been to lei what kind of food" our plants need. Chemists have told us we want some potash, phosphoric acid and nitrogen, and of course ' all of these are required. We find, however, something more than this in the soil, nnd the fruit grower calls it humus. THE NAME HUMUS has been applied to decaying plants, Field of' Observation Opened tip. ' Great importance is at'tached' to two recent, disco \ cries concerning cancer which iu\va been widely discussed in London recently. The first of these is the discoveiy of the existence of cancer in fishes, as in man and other warm-blooded animals living in similar ��� conditions to man. It is hoped that the fact that cancer exists in fish, which live under such difleront conditions from man, may conduce lo a more speedy and corn- plot o knowledge of the disease. Tho other discovery was that of Prof. Farmer and iMossrs. TMooro and Walker. This does not promise an immediate cure or prevention, but is acknowledged to be of 'the highest import mice.1 At present its practical value isT diagnostic. It enables a distinction' to bo drawn readily, oven easily, between ��� malignant and he- nipant growths. The fundamental importance of the discovery must bo discounted. Heretofore tlie most le-- rible thing, about cancer has been the ignorance oi tho causes of its birth and giowth. A microbe parasite lias been suggested, but has failed completely to justify the theories founded on the assumption of its presence. NOT EMBRYONIC TISSUE. Another theory which has been' ac- cepte'd generally of late has boon that cancer is the untimely growth of ,im embryonic -tissue,'that is, a tissue which liad existed in the 'body stationary , and undeveloped since some previous stage. Evolution had started it into activity, and it 'dove-' lo"ped ut a furious rate in an entirely wrong way. Prof.��������� Farmer and- his colleagues h'nve now established the naturo ' 6l the cancer cells, the-method of their growth, the Possible connection of ���heir growth, and the irritating causes which provoked it, incidentally showing that cancer cells aie not a "development of tho embryonic tissue. H is 'difficult to explain the discovery briefly in popular l.ingunge, but the central point is tlie establishment of tho fact that thf- cancer cells are cells which under some kind of irritating stimulus behave not as ordinary, celli, but as if they weru cells of the reproductive tissue. The process observed during tho develop-, ment makes it"'easy to tell if a celT is malignant cancer. Research, therefore, has a new field of observation in finding what agents of irritation are 'causing an'ordinary cell to act the same as cells cf reproductive tissue. 2 *. c , THE GREAT, SMITH FAMILY.

This humus tends to make tho soil spongy-like and prevents loss of plant food.

However, enquiries were set afoot,'and it was found that tho bagpipe goes back into "dim days of thoo-Old Testament, and that it was used by the Egyptians, Uic Creeks, and the Romans long, long befoio either England or Scotland produced anything beyond mud and pa.leoliths. It hus been known in various countries and languages as the musette the sackpfeife (a most 'descriptive word) -and the cornnmusn. In Nero's time it was a popular instrument, for history has it that.wickeJ emperor "promised to appear before the public as a bagpiper." It is very probable that it was not tho fiddle that Nero played while -Rome was burning���but the bagpipe. Shakespeare talks of "tlio drone of a Lincoln.'-lure bagpipe," and a far greater than he���the British ton- cyclopaedia���gives much evidence "to disprove the common notion that the ' instrument has always boon peculiar to Scotland."

All must yield to the inexorable logic of facts, but Stillbrooke Mill yielded gracefully, and opposed no further barrier between itself and the public road than a large broad-lea\cd plane-tree, beneath which was'' a, bench, where many weighty subjects i ('10 Great gray, mysterious sea. liad been discussed by tho present '��� miller, Matthew Moado, and his forerunners.

This incident was very pretty to watch, as it. was watched ' from the road on tho other side of the pond by a boy of twelvo' sitting on a brown cob in tho plane-tree shade, whei c was also a bay horse led by a mounted groom. When the splash came, he lustily echoed tho child's cry, sprang from his horse, ran alom.-- a wall by tho water close to ' the mill-rare, which he leapt and landed in the meadow just In time to sou Philip pull tho child out of the water ��� and to bent oil the angry swan, which refused to lot go of the skirts it had clutched, until the newcomer plied his-riding-whip. "Naughty girl 1" cried Philip, setting her down at a safe distance from the edge, and wringing the writer from, her clothes. "Straight' to bed you go, mis-;, and a good whipping you deserve," t "Take her in, jotiryoung duffer, umL have her stiipperi and dried. What's tlie good of-jaw ing, a kid like tluit?" lomonstratod lhe other boy. Taking one of the little girl's hands and bidding the sti anger boy take tho other, Philip trotted her between them , over the grass and through a court-yard to the kitchen door, faster than her little stumbling loot could carry her. . Having deJhcred her into the hands of a maid servant, Philip made off Lofoie ho had time to ic- ceivc lhe scolding ho shrewdly suspected to be due, and' having reached the plune-tice, put his hands in his pockets and whistled with a fine affectation of indii.orence; he was moie slowly followed by the stranger, whose services ho acknowledged by a brief : "Thank ye." "S say, you fellow,", said ihe-lat- ter on coming 'up and obseiving his blackened eyes, "what have you been up -to besides letting the baby fall into the pond '.'" '"Nothing," replied Philip, loflily ,- "I had to thrash a fellow this morning, that's all." "Had you? 3 dare say. What other poor child have you been bullying?" "He was a little bigger than jou," said Philip, with a scornful glance over him. - - , ^. "I,like that. As if any fellow " of my size wouldn't scorn to touch a kid like jou. Co indoors, my dear,- und ask your mamma for vinegar and brown paper." With such amiable and polite observations,- the lads made a lifelong" acquaintances. Roys ' aie like dogs, they walk round each other with contemptuous .sniffs and growls, and after,one or two tiials snaps and a display ��� of teeth, come cither to a pitched battle or gracious tail-wagging. . ' Jn this case, htckiiy for Philip, tail-wagging was the result. , Ho was introduced to tlio brown cob and allowed to mount it, the sti auger taking Philip's boat and -sculling about tho pound. Knives weie produced and compared, at which stage Philip deemed it time to say, "'Who arc you. and what's your father?" "I'm Claudo^ Mc-Jway, and f uthei's Sir Arthur Mociwaj," plied (ho lad. "Are jou tlie ler's son ? YVh.it's j our name ? Philip colored before lepljing. Only that morning in school at catechism he had given his name as "Philip Randal," and been dumb when pointedly and repeatedly told to ghe O'lly the Christian name. Until that moment, it had not struck him as strange that Randal was Lis baptismal -and surname in one. After school there was a light in my ic- mil- hanging tongue and exhausted mien on the coolost assessiblo stone; the mill-wheel seemed half-asleep as it turned-to its lulling music; tho sunshine slept on the garden and house, it steeped the flowers and grass in a trance.like stillness, and dhsol\��l itself in golden languor:' nmong the broad leaves of the spreading plane- tree, the depths of the pale blue sky Ecciucd clouded with excess of sleeping light; the delicate drooping boughs of the mighty willow which grew on tho fuither bank of tho sti nam in the meadow, scarcely stirred their pale feathery leaves in the charmed stillness. At the foot of tho great willow, where tho sun&hinc poured full upon him and clothed the gi'a'-s about him Kith glory, a sturdy boy of nine lay Hfld basked, his gieat dark-gray eyes gazing into tlio infinite blue sky-depths above him, holding a ripe crimson apple into which this sharp pearls of teeth bit - lazily. . His ���brown face bore traces of recent fighting, and tho brown .hand he stretched out to reach another quar- rendor from tho heap on the: grass, looked as if it had been used in battle. '��� Near at hand a little girl of three, in a white frock and sun-bonnet, was playing with flowers and cooing happily to herself, her golden curls shining in the sunlight, as she turned *gj$th J5,cet(w baby jfeetures and i;olletf Sinba'd, the Roc, tho Valley of Diamonds, blended willi tho swan ship and \anishcd. Philip was fast asleep, unconscious alike of his actual bles-oclnofs nnd of that ho dreamed in the future. The willow wrapped him wholly in its gciitlo shade and spread it's coolness upon the water, while he slept on ' with even, long-drawn bi oath, until at last a piercing sound penetrated tho balmy mai-cs of his dreams and he awoke. H was the piteous wail of the little girl, accompanied by the splash of her body in the water, that had hiol.cn his charmed dream. Seeing Philip feed the swan from his hand, a thing forbidden to her, she wished to do likewise, and seeing her brother's eyes shut, she crept gradually nearer to the edge of tho water, looking, like a baby Narcissus, into the clear green water, where her (lower-wreathed gold unreeled face was .'clearly iriirrowed. ., "Pity .Jessie I .pitt.v ditl !" cooed the tiny daughter o( Evo, with'.complacent smiles at hor own reflection.: But tlio swan, which in'-tlio '-mean-, tiinc had turned back *unl shot the bridge, caught sight, of the-little figure and stoero'd toward it with j; a swift, oven gliding motion. .Jessie looked, up, with a cry of joy; tho swan swam back and altered tho .beaittirul curves of its uocfc, gliding with *. broadsido motion which' the playgiound in consequence of the frequent repetition of the usher's words, "But Randal is your surname." ,., Jt was considered a good fight, and traditions of it still linger in Clec".e Crammur School. Blood was shed on both .si.'cs. and how it wotdd have fared with Philip against "his older and stionger ad.e.saiy, but for thj untimely appearance of the head-master upon tho scene and the fomi'ijuciit hasty flight of both contending parties, it is impossible to ���*-ny. Porhapn Pdiliji was not very soiry for the interruption, when ho walked homo with the ' comfortable co-i- sciousnos.s of having given "that ��ioat brute Brown" a good thra'-h- iiig, before ho was himself poun. ed into a .icllj-. A secret con*, ietion that the alfuir might now honorably lip constricted at an end, together with u sttong suspicion that Brown would think dilleicntly, mado him \cr\- glad to leach tho mill, whither Blown would not dare to follow him. "lily name's Phi'ip Rar.dal, and Mr. Meade, the miller, is my father," he lcpliod defiantly to Cl.iude's question. >' "J-fow much ?" asked Claude, thinking that ali three names belonged to him. "Well, you're a queer little beggar, names and all. How far arc you in Latin ? Do they fag at your school? I suppose they arts' all, cads at this." , "What's a cad?" asked Philip. ,. "Oh ! Why, a day-boy that lives in the town." '���'Then wc arc all cads/' returned Philip, cheerfully,' "and 1 ain't out of Delectus jot. I say, lend ub that knife, 'Modway." ''I'm going to Eton next term," said Claiidcl handing him tho knife. ' "Where's that 7" asked Philip, indifferently, going np to the win Sow- frame of tho best parlor to try knife upon it. "Well I you aie a 'duffer I" muttei- cd Claude, revolted at Philip's ignoi- ance, and marching away to reexamine the mill. ' Philip, in ,the meantime, was absorbed in cutting his initials on the fiame, and, the windows being open; heard tho well-known voice of Matt- how Men,do mingling with the less familiar accents of Arthur Medwuy, hoard without hcuikeuing until something wns said -which interested him. "The boy is mine. Sir Arthur,'.' said Mr. Meade's voici'. "Re ,' was^ left by his own flesh and blood, and already stai ted for tho workus when 1 took him anor bred him for mj* own." "No doubt you are attached to the child, Meade, and of course it would he n hard pull to give him up " "J can't give him up," tho miller broke in, witli an agitated voice; "he's mine, he's alJ I've got. I'vo bred him up so far, and he's more to me���3 toll 'eo I can't givo him up. Sir Arthur," ."If jou are indeed attached to tho child " ','1 am, 1 am," Men.dc interposed. "Vou surely would not stand in his light," continued Sir Arthur, gravely, / "consider the sidvantages you refuse for him." "1 hev considered them. Sir Arthur," replied the miller, wiping his hot brow, "but money isn't everything, sir. The boy looks to me as a father, I',vo taught him so, and somehow���I've done that' much for him, J've saved and scraped for him ���nj'c, and . I mean to save and scrape for him, and I'll bring him up to be-a gentleman, please God " he could saj' no more in the fullness of his heart. - , i Sir Arthur smiled, and looked silently at tlie rough man in his floury miller's clothes, whose chest was heaving with strong feeling; while the words bi oke gaspingly from him. "Better than my own blood, bettor bettor." "These feelings ( do j-ou credit,' Meade," he said, after some wonder as to how the miller proposed to breed up a gentleman. "But you would, 1 am suie, 'deeply regret that your affection for/the boy should spoil his chancc<- in life." "It won't, it can't be," .returned Meade, eai nestiy. "What do you care foi- him.'sii? You've got yourn, there's Master _ Claude and the rest of them, and mine would be nobody, y. poor stray bird among them nil What's monoj- besiSe a -father's heai t ? And a mother's, too?" Again Sir Arthur gazed silently and thoughtfully upon tlie miller's earnest face, .and when he saw him draw the back of his brown hand hastily across his eyes, his own became dim. "1 will say no more at present," he observed at last, rising and taking his hat, "we are both oi us convinced of tho child's identity, though T am not sure that we could prove it in a court of law. You wiJl think over what I have said at your leisure, and weigh the pros and cons of it till we meet again." "Yes, Sir Arthur," replied Meade, awed in spite of himself by tho imposing presence of the baronet, whose head only just, escaped tho heavy 'beams of the old-fashioned parlor, a man in tho prime of life, with a giacious smile and winning air- The listener in tho meantime, screened by the myrtle growing about the window, was pale as death, the knife falling fi om his nerveless hand. What should I all this mean ? Was the school-boy taunt but the bare truth, or how ? When Sir Arthur came out of tho poich with Mr. Meade, Philip had pulled ^himself together, and was able to come forward calmly at his father's call. "So this is the boy." said Sir Aithur, laying his strong, slender hand with gentle firmness upon Philip's head, pusning back the tumbled haii and turning .the face upward for the searching scrutiny he gave it. A long, long glance he bent upon Philip's flushing face, kind though stern, and with a mingling of sorrow, compunction, and yearning which vaguely touched tlie boy's self-steolcd Iieai t and gradually subdued the bold defiance of his upward gaze. "You are tall and strong for your age, Philip," he said, removing his hand ta last; "never mi'-suso your strength; bc_gentJe, loyal, and al- whjs think of others." Then, calling his son, he went out through tho garden gate, first pressing into Philip's astonished hand a solid golden sovereign, the lil-c of which he was first afraid to keep lest it should have been given by mistake, and mounted the beautiful bay horse while Claude sprang upon the blown cob, and they rode away. Matthew and Philip stood beneath the plane-tree and watcned ~ them clatter over tho bridge and vanish up the lull, each with a tumultuous stir of feeling. The miller had taken the child's hand in his powerful gra&p, and clutched it so firmly that the small fingers wore all white and criunped together and aching; but Philip was unconscious of any physical sensation in the whirLof feeling with which he gazed upon tho splendid steeds and their gallant riders, and especially "upon Sir Arthur, who inspired him with mingled admiration and repulsion. It was as if all the glory of tho world opened. upon his spiritual vision through this man. He looked up at his foster-father's/ weather-beaten face, which was drawn with anxiety and grav with care, at his striped collarlcss floury jacket, and for the first he took his outward measure r the j i eckoned him a common old man, more meanly dressed than the meanest working-man, and contrasted his stubby chin with Sir Arthur's carefully shaven, finely moulded face. Just then Meade looked at him and the boj''s heait melted. , ' "How would you like to ride a. little hoi so like Master Medwaj'V Philip ? And go and live at Mar. .well Court with Sir Arthur,' ajitf liavo servants to wait on ye, ainf " fine- Jadics to cosset ye, and booki to read, unci plenty of money ?", thi" miller asked. '.'Very much," he faltered. - '.'And lcav(> poor old dad an'd mother and the little maid ?" continued, Meade, crushing the child'-- hand tighter. r "Not for the world," ho replied, half co ing, and they turned, both ���- too much moved to speak, and went in. - ' Why did Sir Aithur want him? What in tei est could he possibly hava ��� in the miller's adopted child ?' Philip wondeicd. ' > - j Air. Meade said nothing more on the subject to Philip that night, parrying his questions and bidding him wait. But when tbe children, were gone to bod, he sat long by the', light of the single candle in tho parlor," smoking his short'clay pipe' and talking to his wife. "Why - ever hadn't j-ou come, Martha'?" he asked, testily; '"Sir! Arthur said.himself you "had as muchj right over the boy as I had my-1 self." ' "Me come ? What, and me right in the middle of the plum jam ? And. Sarah, no moie fit sor much as to ' stir a spoon when your ej'e's off; her," returned Mis Meade, "dropping tho stocking she was mending and looking reproachfully across .tile can-, ' die's dim pyramid of flamo at her ,' husband. "There, Meade, 1 will say," ' this for ye, of all tho men-folk, II , ever camet across 'you're the vcryj' worst for putting any understanding! ' into. Not but j'ou've your ' gooflj points, and have been a middling I husband, as husbands go." i "Well, there, M���ii tha, i can't say what sort of a-wife you've a been,) for I haven't hurl a many wives toj- try you agon,", the miller replied, ���- "but 1 wish tlio douce would'fly, off,' - with your jam, I do. Anj'body'med! think the world "depended upon your5., jam." ~" ' . , ' "The whole world may depend up-. - on my jam," ictortod Mrs. Meade.1 "Any lady in the land might walk into my kitchen to-moi row morning and throw all the jam I've got across the 100111, if sho'.d a mind to; it's jellied that solid." Matthew Mcudcdid not-stop to doubt the probabi'ity of high-born . ' ladies wishing to throw jam across Mrs. Meade's kitchen, but went on to explain the importance of Sir Arthur's mission, to tell of the series of clues by which" he had traced Philip's identity, and of his great desire to take into his own care and bring 'him up. The merits of Mrs. Meade's jam were now as nothing to her; when the thought of losing Philip, which penetrated but slowly into her brain, did at last reach it, sho put away her work and cried al the thought. "The many we'\< buried, Meade," she sobbed, "and it did seem as though the Lord hae sent us this ono to make up." "And the Lorh did send him.'' cried Meade, smiting his fist on tht. table so that the candle jumped ono the tlame fiickeied. "You rnind whal ' T said, when I brought him homa - seven yeais ago, Mai tha. A votes seemed to whisper plain to me 'The same hand,that made you childless, made this boy an orphan; save him from tho workhouse, and he'll bring a blessing on the hearth you tak# - * him to " "Yes, Meade, and lie did biing a blessing," interposed Martha, drying her kind eyes; "there was little Jessie sent us in our old age -" "Ay, the little maid was 'sent, bless her I"' r , ' "Aud such a boy as he was, to b�� sure, and no trouble with him.

Russia, in face.of almost uustir- mountable difficulties is daily. ,rein- forcing hei already immense army in Northern Manchuria, and she can, if necessary, put 600,000 men in the Geld. Tbe possible chance of Japanesei success would be to destroy the Russian fleet at Port Arthur and then gain control of the Trans-Siberian Railway, the latter however is now well guarded and land operations are just as difficult for the Japanese as for the Russians.

Most of the rots, rusts, smuts, mil- I <lows, molds and blights affecting cultivated )>lan(.s are fungous diseases; Ithut is, they are caused by parasitic Sungi. Fungi belong to tlio vegetable kingdom, and, consequently, are |j>lant.s .jij.'it as truly as corn, beans and potatoe-; aro plants. However, Ithcy ai'p very different from ordinary (plants. ' Upward of 00,000 different I kind's of fungi are known to science. JTIiey vary greatly in size, I'yrm , and [manner ol" growth. JUosl of them are Iso small' (hat they can scarcely be ���sron with the unaided eye. except ���when targe numbers of individuals are Jgrowing 'together. Tlie pufibnlls and (toadstools are among the largest of ���the fungi. Other familiar examples fire the corn smut, apple scab and the jommon blue mold round on stale |}i'cacl, rotten apples,' etc. With reference to the substances up- |)ii which they feed, fungi are either, J.'apropliytic or parasitic. The former' feed upon- decaying-' -natter while, the latter attack living plants and draw Jiourishment from them. ' Many fungi jro parasitic during a part of their fife and saprophytic at otner times, ���"or example, the apple scab fungus Ktacks the living fruit and leaves luring summer and grows upon the |illen leaves during winter. Of course,' is the parasitic fungi which are If.interest to farmers and fruit growl's,, because they are 'the ones that |ause disease in plants. FUNGr HAVE NO LEAVES liid contain neither starch nor groen Jnloring matter. They are also wilh- 1'it true 'root-;, although irost of liem have delicate feeding- threads I'hicli. travel's-; the tissues of the iant. attacked and take up nourish- jient much as roots take plant food (cm tho soil. Most fungi propagate weans of spores; that is, .spores |-e to fungi what seeds are to ordin- l-y /'lints. When a spore ol' tlie po- Jto blight 1'im'gus Jails upon a pola- leaf and there comes "the dew or Jin upon it, the spore germinates lilhin a few. hours, and,delicate feed- 'threads penetrate the leaf. Once ���side the leaf, the threads grow rap- lly, and run iii all directions among lo cells, feeding tijjou their contents. |i0 cells turn brown and die, jand the second or third -'day a brown lllen spot appears ..on the leaL I'Vbout"a day later this'spot is cov- on the under surface with a deli- frost-like mildew which upon |croscooic examination is found to composed of numerous slender [inched stalks with egg-shaped |:r.'.s borne on the tips of (he jinchcs. fly means of rain, wind It animals these new spores become jttered over other potato leaves II attack them. These in turn lead the disease still further. Some Ithe .'spores, falling upon the ground washed by rain down to the t null nc? cause 1hem to rot. Each |d of fungus has its own peculiari- of growth, but. in a general way, life cycle of many parasitic fuii- |is similar to tlv.il, of the potato lit fungus HANDLING BJJEEDJNC HOGS. Jt is well 'to took over all the breeding sows available, -while carrying their young: Perhaps they may all be good ones, but there-will be a choice. See them oat. The one thnt noses the swill over in the hope of finding something belter, is liable lo produces - some pigs "of the same tendency. Dainty feeders are poor fa lienors. Good length of body indicates good weight at killing time. Probably ihc ancestry of most of these animals cannot be traced far, so the selection ol young pigs foi- breeders must be d- ne very much on the strength of the gonil (jualities of lhe ham ns they appear lo us. , If in winter the quarter.-- should healed up "to 80 degrees while young are coming-.

Many of these 'dramatic transitions form part of the story* of lhe Jiritish Peerage, nnd some of our greatest nobles trace their descent from actresses who delighted long-gone frequenters of tho London treaties. When (lay'wrote his amusing "Beggar's Opera," he little knew that it was destined to add a duchess, a a countess, and a baroness to our Peerage; and yet three Polly reach- urns left (he footlights to weai coronets and become chatelaines of great ancestral houses..

"In those days, just a little beyond the Holy Roman Empire, there was a distinct emphasis placed upon the fact that Roman and Byzantium were struggling for tho mastery. There was a Roman church and Lhere was a Creek church. They djifered in some mechanical detail of governmental machinery, but: they wore essentially the same in that what Rome, did- and does for the Latin nations, the Greek Church does for the heti'o- geneous mass we call the Slav. "Seventy-two elements, enter into the structure of the strange mixture called tlie Slav, and upon all of them.
