At Butanta, Brazil, there is the most remarkable an§,.repulsive garden in the world. It is seven hundred acres in extent, and is a garden of venom- ous serpents, which are maintained for purely scientific purposes: There are laboratories which produce se- rums for the cure and prevention of the effects of snake -bite. The snakes are kept'in a small park in order that their habits and the best methods of escaping their attacks may be studied. Wayside Feed.

Queation-y. E.: -Will you please give me a little advice about hog pasture? I had a hog lot which 1 manured, and -intend to summer fallow. It was clover last year. I have a grass pasture for the hogs noW. What is the best to sow on this lot? Can I sow grass seed and have''a grass pasture next year, and what kind? Answer: -1 would advise • you to plow the lot in question, and carefully disk and harrow it. Then sow a Mix- ture of grass seed somewhat as fol- lows. 10 lbs. common red clover 8 lbs. timothy 2 the, alsike Total 20 lbs. per acre. This should be distributed evenly. rough furrow until spring: As soon and harrowed in thoroughly. • If the in ground is rather open in texture, I' tiskk and l s it is flt ougih to a smcoothpring, seedbed, then sow a grass and clover mix- ture, using either wheat, barley or oats as a nurse crop. Best results are obtained from using wheat or bar- ley as nurse crops, since these grains ripen early and are soon removed from the ground. Do not seed the nurse crop too heavily. A bushel and a peck is usually sufficient to the acre n; hen using as a nurse crop. For a grass mixture the following is com- mon in Ontario: 10 lbs. common red clover 4 lbs. alsike 6 lbs. timothy are usually scattered by the cutting of tire wheat. , In preparing sees wheat it is difficult to separate them from..the good wheat by fanning, Hence, they are' spread'fronr year to year atthe time the wheat is sown, It is a comparatively easy matter, to get rid "of the pest by planting 'your crops in 0• rotation where wheat does not follow wheat for two orthree years, Clean cultivation and plant- ing of good clean seed Will . gnickly rid yoti of the pest, Question --41. S:: -What is the best' time to make a meadow, in the Fall or in the Spring? flow much seed is re- quired for an acre? Answer: -As a rule, in Ontario best meadows are established in spring. Fad plow the land and leave it in would advise you to roll it and then follow with a light harrowing, In order to insure a good catch of grass, would recommend that you add 200 pounds per acre of a fertilizer berry- ing 2 to 3%d ammonia, 8 to 10% phos, phorih acid and possibly 1% potash. Distribute this evenly just after the groundis plowed, so that the disking and harrowing- will work it into the soil before the grass seed is sown. Question -E. B. :- How should orchard grass be sown and how cul- tivated? I have twice sown orchard grass With barley without :success. What caused the failure? When is the best tune to sow orchard grass, in September, or October or the Spring? How much should be sown to the acre? 20'1bs. per acre. Make sure of the quality of the Answer: -If the orchard grass s ed seed by testing a couple of hundred 4 seeds'between blotters. Dampen the is of first qualify, from 18 to 20 blotters and place them on a plate, pounds per acre is sufficient.' Other- putting the quantity 'o£ seed you are 'wise, increase the quantity up .to 30 testing between them. Keep the pounds per acre. Probably your blotters damp but not soaked, and if difficulty in seeding - orchard grass testing during the winter keep_he with barley is that you have used too test in a warm part of the house. In much barley and smothered out the a week or ten' days the seed will have grass. Do not use over a.-busllel of barley per acre when growing this sprouted . and• you can 'estimate the percent, of good vigorous seed. This crop as a nurse crop. Furthermore, orchard grass is rather slow becoming insures the using of seed that will established. The first year it looks grow.. It does not matter how well, very weak. - The second year root you prepare your ground, if you do not stalk have developed and a vigorous sow good vigorous seed results will stand isnot be most satisfactory. present. It does not reach In order to insure a good catch I maximum growth until the third year, would advise drilling in at seeding The best time to seed orchard he time time about 200. -pounds of fertilizer Ontario is in the Spring at the time the usual clover and grass mixtures analyzing 1 to 2% ammonia arid 10 are sown. to 12% available phosphoric acid at - the time that you• are sowing the Question -A. W. 13.:-I am very grain anti grass in spring. .This avail - much troubled with chess or client in able plantfood gives to the grass and' my crops. Will you kindly let me know the cause and how to get rid of it? Answer: -Chess or cheat is one of the brome-grasses which seeds about the time the wheat ripens. The seeds clover what whole milk gives to the young growing calf, It is rich in available plantfood which will great- ly assist in 'insuring a good catch -oj• both clover and timothy. It will also help the grain crop. tOlig 8/or/i8 "I Wish I Were." One summer morning a fairy awoke s. late that the dew was all gone from the flowers and he had to. run down to the brook/to get Lis before - breakfast drihk. And after he had had his drink he discovered -that he was too late for honey; too; he could ndt find a speck of honey, not even one taste. You see, the -fairies usual- ly get up so early that they can eat all the honey they want long before the bees start from their hives. But on this particular morning the lazy little fairy had slept so late that the bees bad been round and eaten all" the honey, -every scrap, -and that made the fairy se cross that he did not even remember that he might stir round and hunt for something else t) eat. He sat down at the foot of a tree; intending to sulk all clay long; but be- fore he had more than started sulking a robin came by. "Good morning, Friend Faiiy!" said the robin cheerfully. "Isn't this 'a. fine day?" �. "No, it's a very bad day," said the fairy crossly, "and I wish T were an apple!"' "What a funny- wish for a fairy to make," said the robin, laughiill?r "If you change into an apple, I'll eat a hole in you." "Then I won't be an apple," replied the fairy crossly, "for I don't, want a hole'.,eaten in me! I'll be something else," The robin laughed and flew away just as a big toad bopped out from behind a tree. "Good morning, Friend Fairy!" he croaked. "Isn't this a fine day?" "No, it isn't;" said the fairy crossly; "and I wish I were a spider!" "What a funny wish!" -croaked the toad. "Don't you know that spiders have to work very hard and spin a web before they can crawl on it through'thea ? But I hope yeti, do change into a spider; I'm looking for spiders this very 'minute, and if you become one I'll gobble you up l" "Then I won't be a spider," said the fairy,"for I certainly don't care to bo gobbled up. I'll be something else," The toad laughed, and hopped away, and the falr'y, was left alone to sulk. "I don't know what I want to be," he sighed fretfully. "This is suets a horrid wo1'ld-no dew, no honey, no nice wishes! I'thinlc I'll be a star," "A star?" exclaimed a soft little voice by his side. "Would you be a star and leave this beautiful world- all the flowers and birds -to livb.up in• the bare sky?" The fairy turned and looked, , There, hear by, was a tiny ant tugging away a', a big grain of sand. "Do you think this is 'such a fine world?" asked the fairy. "I should think you would hate it. You haveto work all the tinge." "To be. sure I dc," replieZ the ant proudly. "That's the reason I like to live. ,. Working is the jolliest and most interesting tiling in this whole big world -didn't you know that? It's trim." And the sturdy little ant picked up his burden and started away. Left by himself, the sulking fairy began to feel very foolish and very sorry. • He remembered the flower bud he ought to have opened long ago; and he thought of the sunbeams he should have helped, • "What I should be wishing for," he whispered to himself, "is work. And then I should hunt round and answer my own wish," Slyly he slipped round the tree to Open a buttercup bud he was sure ha had seen there, And as the flower opened, what do you suppose that sur- prised fairy -found? A drop of fresh, sweet honey all ready for him to eats As he sipped the'honey and planned what to do next, a cardinal bird hop- ped by. "Good cheer! Good cheer, Friend Fairy!" collect the cardinal. "Isn't this a fine day?" And the happy little fairy called back, "A fine day for working, indeed it is!'V Acting a Proverb. The Right Hon.' W. F. D, Massey, Premier of New Zealand, is a big, bulky man, with it reputation for Pugnacity alike in speech and deed, qualities which lend point to the fol- lowing story: His hobby as a statesman is edu- cation, and one clay, when inspecting a school, he announced to the scholars that ..e was about to test their intel- ligence and .powers oli observation in a novel way. "I ant 'going," he said, "to perform certain actions, and you must guess what proverb they represent, The boy or girl who succeeds first will re - a shling," Tllat did Instantly every eye wits ceive fixed oiln him. First of all Mr. Massey lay down on the ;floor•.' Then ono man Caine forward and tried -in vain to lift him. Two others oohs to his aid, and between them they raised him without any great diffi- eulty. The actions were meant to repro.' sent the motto, "Union is strength." When they load finished the Premier stepped forward and. asked if any child had solved the puzrZle. At oneo a grubby Hand shot up and an eager voice squeaked, "Let Sleep- ing doge lief" AND . THEIR CONSTRUCTION Special Cure Should be Exercised to Ensure a Pure itnd Abundant Supply of Water or Home Use. Apart .from municipal wator works, our Water: supply is secured ahnost entirelY ;from vrells, Especially is this true on the farms and in the smaller village's, Itis of primary importahee that the well be properly constructed, that it. he -Situated far from any source of possible pollution, and that the water, be of satisfactory quality. • The safest.form of well is the deep, or bored,• well, carried down through 4, pump or other elevating means at the top, Around this well, a concrete platform should be laid of at least 'eight feet diameter, sloping .away from the well, to prevent surplus wa- ter, or water from melting snow/ working down afengside;the pipe. The shallow, or dug, well is much more common, Thia type is usually the most carelessly constructed and the source of much danger to health. .Such a well, however, may be eon. strutted in a manner as to be safe, ip- so far n-so'far as the eolleeting a:ad oontaiining of the water supply is concerned: It must bo understood 'that no well can ,' possibly be satisfactory if the source of the water supply is polluted, gf The illustration herewith shows a well which Is as safe as possible. Por the upper nine feet the well is watertight, the sloping platform diverts the surplus water from the well, and the top of the wall is car- ried above the level and provided with an absolutely.. tight cover. The pump has been placed on the Concrete platform, onthe ground level, the pipe is embedded in the con- crete and carried to the bottom of the well where the water is coldest. Thera is considerable advantage in not hav- ing the pump at the top of the well. Surplus water is continually spilled, and, as more or less rnud, barnyard manure, etc., is carried on the boots of those using the well, this water be- comes polluted and seeps through the cover. In many summer resorts, defective wells are the cause' of much sickness, and many cases of typhoid among urban residents have been traced to this source.

H P N RUSSIA National Sentiment, is Opposed to Capital Punishment, It is not at all surprising to those whd know Russia that one of the first acts of the new Government was the abolition the death penalty. Capital punishment is iiideecl as much against the national sentiment as against tradition in Russia, and as long ago as 1888 the late W. T. Stead declared that -it was never inflicted without producing a feeling of shame among educated Russians. The death penalty was abolished by the Empress Elizabeth in 1760, and though it was later revived, it was. only in recent years, and especially after the rising : of 1906, that tt was carried out in other -than exceptional circumstances, The number of, exe- cutions then, however, 41.xipkiy multi- plied, and early in 1909 twenty-seven took place in one day,' To Fold a Cookbook Open. The most satisfactory thing with which to keep a cookbook open when in' use is as sheet of glass bound with passe-partout binding and kept for this purpose. The book is .opened wide, and the glass laid over the opened pages not only keeps' your place but prevents the pages from be- coming soiled, while in use. Poii Market Calendar. The culling of non -layers from the flock should be continued throughout July.- The.season of high production is over and at the high price .of feed,; it does not pay to keep hens a8'board- ers throughout the summer., Sell in July old hens, broilers, green ducks and old ducks. Secrets in Securing Layers. An egg -laying strain can not be produced by inbreeding. In order for a hen to be a good producer, she must be' in good health and full of vigor. Use a male that was bred from a hen that laid 200 eggs or more in a year. Breed for high averages instead of ex- ceptionally high individuals. A good layer usually stands high infront and her back is not on a level, or the rear higher than the front. The best pro- ducers usually have large combs, a high tail, and a prominent, large bright eye. Prefer the wedge shape, rather narrow ho front but wide be- hind, and wide between the legs. A ben inclined tribe squirrel -tailed is the best layer. Not always the largest hen is the best layer; generally the smallest one The heavy laying hens are those with white legs,. A tight -feathered bird is a better layer than a loose-tsathered one. As a rule, the- first pullets of a brood to begin laying make the best layers, and -the first cockerels to crow usually make the best breeders for egg production. The laying hen is usually nervous and active; she has a strong appetite, evidenced by a full crop at night; she is thelast to retire at night and the first to be about in the morning; she is also late to molt in the fall; she is distinguished by width and depth of abdomen; the comb is usually large and ,the eye bright. An authority says that an examine - tion of the earlobe is considered to be almost infallible. A chalky white .ear- lobe indicates that a bird is laying Leavily, whereas a cream -colored one shows that the bird is laying moder- ately, has just started or has just ed. A milk -colored earlobe shows owe. that the hen"has laid slightly or has stopped laying, A very yellow or darlc earlobe indicates that the hen has not laid at all. A extremely white earlobe also may ,mean very low vitality, The more velvety the'tex- ture of the hen's comb the better heir health, and it is almost a certain signs that she is laying heavily. WHEN IS A GLASS FULL? How You Can Place Various Objects in a Glass "Full" of Water. . Why is it that when a pail of water is brimming full, one can pint a fish of a pound weight into it, and yet it will not overflow? A very ancient conundrum; and the answer, of course, is that such a thing isn't possible. Nevertheless, you can do some very surprising "stunts"\in much the same lino with a glassful or a cupful of wa- ter. You may fill the receptacle to the very brim, -and yet put quite a lot of junk of one kind or another into it without malting it overflow. It is necessary, however, to place the glass on a table that is perfectly horizontal. And the water must be poured into it, slowly and carefully; in such a way as, to avoid wetting the edgo. • Then you can drop a pin into it, point first, without causing it to over- flow. You can drop several pins, two or three at a time. In fact, if you clo• 1t right, you can droll' -sixty 00 eighty ordinary pins into the glass, and still the water will not trickle over the edge. The reason why is simply that the -t -`et on edge is no Wet, t and o s account; it is possible literally to pile up the wa- ter pperceptibly higher tlgair the level of the brim, The same thing an be done with tacks or rvitir coins Zi ools learn nothing Prong wise men, but wisp men learn much from" fools, 1 01.17 1,,�1'okz tit. ,..Con cted AY J`fi•.o.%(e(.iiz Jai,'" Mothers and daughters of all ages are cordially Invited to write to this department.
