wheat from ordinary seed may
yield 25 bushels per acre, and costs
20 bushels per acre to produce,
leaving five bushels per acre as net
profit. If, by sowing well cleane.1
seed, the yield is increased one
bushelper acre, the increase ;n net
profit in 20 per cent. The cleaning
of the seed in spare time during the
winter does no`tadd one cent to the
cost of production. 'When well
cleaned seed is sown in place of
ordinary grain, •the gain inyield is,
of course, much more than one
bushel per acre. The net profit
has often been increased 50 leer

EGGS IN HEATED RICE.
A Way the Chinese Have ror Hatching
Ducks and Chickens.
The Chinese method of hatching as
many as 500 duck and chicks► eggs in
one sitting has not yet been adopted In
this country.
Unhusked rice Is used for the pur-
pose, and when this has been roasted
it is either cooled by a fanning process
or the wind is allowed to blow through
It until it is lukewarm.
The breeder then, sprinkles a , three
Ufa rus...'ta� er---.0 .�1�! " e-=hu°`''lie"uot'toin Of a -
wooden tub. and on this surface places
about 100 eggs; another layer of rice
about two inches thick is spread over
them, and on this layer eggs are also
placed, and the tub is filled in this way
until there are six layers of rice and
five of eggs, making 500 eggs in all in
the tub.
Every twenty-four hours the rice has
to be heated, and for this purpose the
eggs have to be removed, the bottom
Layer this time being placed on top and
the other layers one row lower down,
the eggs that occupied the central po-
sition in the tub now being placed at
the edges.
There is some difficulty in gauging
the exact time at which the eggs will
hatch, and unless care is taken some
of the young ones are likety to be
smothered. This is, of course, the point
at which the ability of the expert is
shown.

INSECT TRAVELERS,
Moths, Butterflies and Beetles Make
Long Distance Journeys.
Mr- William Evans, a Scottish natu-
ralist, who has made a lifelong study
of the fauna of Scotland, obtained
from a dozen Scottish lightbonses 241
species of insects, which include two
butterflies, 159 moths, eighteen caddis
flies and lacewings, forty diptera, ten
beetles and a dozen other species.
Most of the specimens -were males.
To reach the Isle of May, in the Firth
of Forth, where Mr. Evans collected
most of the insects, many of the speci-
mens must have flown across several
miles of sea.
In his records Mr. Evans calls atten-
tion to several other extraordinary
flights of insects.
Thus, the "painted lady," or thistle
butterfly (Pyrameis cardul), has been
known to cross the Alps; the red ad-
miral butterfly (Vanessa atalanta) has
landed in numbers on the deck of a
vessel 500 miles from the coast of
England; the common white butter-
flies cross the English channel in
clouds; the famous milkweed butterfly
(Danais arcbippus), abundant every-
where in the United States, is said to
make the 2,000 mile journey from
California to the Hawaiian Islands
and has gradually progressed by way
of the south sea islands as far as Aus-
tralia.
A death's bead moth has boarded a
steamer 200 miles oil' the Cape Verde
islands. Clouds of ladybirds miles in
extent, so that they resembled smoke
from a steamer, have been seen at sea.
A. swarm of locusts that passed over
the Red sea itt 1889 is Said to have ex-
tended over 20000 square miles, and it
was es_tma$ed to weigh 42,860,000,000
