TO K ill SNAKES uen Lucrative Side Line for Farmers Whs Will Make Most of It—Fowls Dsstroy Many Insects. South America Has Olscovsrsd an Excellent Way to Cop» With th» Universal P»»t. In South America, where the snake pest Is a very serious proposition, they are now using snakes to catch snakes. Even In the mo»t civilized parts of Brazil over 1,000 persons are killed annually by snake bite. The mongoose, which proved so ef fective In Jamaica and elsewhere, to of little use here. Necessity to the mother of Invention, and nature and science together have at last discov ered something which It is hoped may eventually exterminate the dreadful pest. The discovery to nothing etoe than a "bénéficient" snake which to harmless to man, and which kills and eats the poisonous species. The mussurana, as it to called, to a thick, muscular snake about four feet long. It to posKCMied of an in satiable appetite for poisonous vipers, and It can tell of the approach of one In the same way that a pointer will “scent" game. When tackling Its prey, which to frequently considerably bigger than itself, the "good” snake •arurnes a lethargic air as if It were glutted with food and could not flghL Seeing this the bad snake Immediately attacks. This Is just what the other wants; for, being rendered by nature com pletely Immune from the poison. It . seizes Its enemy before it has had time to recover from the charge, and give» a fatal bite at the base of the brain. Bpeclallzed poultry farms are be coming more numerous each year. In many cases these are paying good return» on the money Invested, but their effect on the supply of eggs and dreiaed poultry for our large markets Is but as a drop In the ocean. It is for the small flock» of H0 to 300 fowls kept upon the farms as u side line that wo must depend for our supply of poultry products In the future as In tho past, says Prof. P. G. Holden In tho Farm and Home Poultry Annual. No other branch of agriculture Is rep resented on »o many farms. The cen sus for 1910 shows that 88 per cent of all farms reported keeping poultry.

The earliest attempt at sewing by machinery of which there to any au thentic record was In 1755, in which year a machine was patented in Eng land by Charles W. Weisenthal. In this machine the stitch was formed by a needle, having two points with an eye at mid-length, which passed completely through the goods In imi tation of hand sewing. Enriching the Language. The growth and change which are Inseparable from all living language cannot fail to interest the student, and ■ a special interest attaches to the in corporation of the names of well- known men. Thus Wellington has come to mean a sort of boot; Broug ham, a carriage, and Gladstone, appro priate enough, a traveler's bag, as ' that great man advocated the "bag and baggage” policy, which seems likely at length to be adopted. Other names have been turned into ; verbs as well as nouns. For instance, I the murderer Burke's uame is per petuated in the words to burke, burk ed, burking and burkism, while in quite recent times Captain Boycott's experiences resulted in the language being enriched by the phrases to boycott, boycotter, boycotting, etc. The most notable case was prob ably that of the great and good man. Rev. T. Bowlder, D. D., who by pub-, lishing a “family edition” of Shake-1 speare in 1881, added the words "bowlderize” and “bowlderism” to our language.—Exchange. Large Demand for Silver Bullion.
