What mar be called tho accesaoriei
of the equipment of the Wellman
polar expedition are by no means
leaat In point of Interest In the novel
undertaking to reach the north pole
In an airship. The war in which the
explorer hae utlilted the latest eel-
entlflc discoveries and Inventions In
hia coming battle with the elements
of the north form one of the most
interesting chapters la the story of
preparation. With the exception of
the airship Itself the wireless tele-
graph and the motor aledge, or, as
Mr. Wellman calls It. "the mechanical
dog," stand out as of peculiar Interest.
Should Mr. Wellman and his com
panlons be auccessful in reaching the
pole the wlreleaa telegraph Instrument
U expected to Inform the world of
tbs act of placing the American flag
mi that Important point of the world's
surface within a few minutes after It
tea occurred. Should anything bap-
pen to the alrahlp the "mechanical
tlon, not only with the base on I)ane s
Island, but with the commercial ca-
bles of the world, is expected to be
maintained through the De Forest
wireless telegraph apparatus that
forms an important part of the Im-
pedimenta of the expedition. The
wireless telegraph service, like the air-
ship, while not having been brought
to the highest stage of perfection or
certainty of successful operation,
nevertheleas has become commercially
practicable and reasonably reliable.
Recent testa at sea have lengthened
the possible communication distance
to more than 1,000 miles without re-
lay. A complete wireless outfit forms
a part of the expedition's apparatus,
and one of the Ave men who will
make the trip In the airship Is
expert wireless telegraph operator and
mechanician.

Tho "Mechanical Dog."
While It la unnecessary to point out
that, without the utmost confidence In
the efficiency and "staying" powers of
the alrahlp, tbs promoters of this
epoch-making expedition would not
undertake it, yet this confidence haa
not been of the blind aort that has
oansed them to hurl caution to the
winds. Two supplemental provisions
have baen made for Insuring the suc-
cees of tho expedition and the lives
of the explorers. The most Important
of these la the motor sledge which
la to bo carried In the car of the air-
ship and which, it Is confidently be-
lieved, will prove of the utmost value
In the event of accident to the airship
at any stage of the voyage. There are
two of these sledges, propelled by gas-
oline motors. They have six-horse-
power each. The motor Is mounted on
runnera, like those of the ordinary
sled, and the power is transmitted by
chain to a large front wheel which
haa breadth enough to serve the pur-
pose of a anowshoe and the periphery
of which Is studded with projecting
spikes to furnish the gripping power.
These "mechanical dogs'* weigh 22B
pounds each and can be carried by
two men. They are so constructed
that they can be knocked down and
aasembled quickly and when Buch ob-
stacles are met as they cannot over-
come they can be taken apart and
hauled by the explorers over the hard
places.
In all previous explorations the
Eskimo dog has been the traction
mainstay of the explorprs. While the
canine of the north has proved of the

TOADS EMBEDDED IN ROCK
Naturalist Declares He Found One
That Must Have Been Burled
for Many Tears.
Shropshire, England, seems to be fa-
vored with a substratum of burled
toads.
At a recent gathering of the Caradoe
and Severn Valley Field club Mr. For-
est, a naturalist of repute, who haa
been engaged by Lady Warwick to de-
liver a course of nature study lec-
tures In Warwickshire, exhibited a
lively toad of small sice which had,
he said, been found buried in solid
clay six feet underground at Broseley.
Its mouth was said to be quite closed
through disuse, so that it could not
now feed If It wanted to.
Quite recently also another small
and active toad waa discovered at
Broseley "Imbedded In solid rock,"
which excavators had spilt while ob-
taining material for one of Lady For-
ester's hospitals, now in course of
erection. This also had Ita mouth
closed; and for some time it was kept
by a local chemist In a stoppered bot-
tle, passing thence Into possession of
Dr. Olpp, the medical officer of health
at Shrewsbury.
Naturalists, of course, deny that
such cases of burled toads in solid
rock or clay can possibly occur. They
allege that even a creature which pos-
sesses the remarkable vitality of a
toad must soon die when deprived of
oxygen. They also say that the most
important evidence Is always lacking
—namely, the imprint of the animal
In the stone or clay, where it was sup-
posed to have been Imbedded.
CARVED WARNING ON TREE.
■OIL BACTERIA.
Tho agricultural department at
Washington Issues the following in-
fractions to farmers who desire bac-
teria for Inoculating soils for legumes:
"The organisms for the common le-
fumes, such as alfalfa, peas, beans,
lover and vetches will he distributed
•jo those applicants who desire to aid
n testing the efficacy of these organ-
sms in different parts of the United
States. Aa a general rale, the quantity
tent to each applicant will be suffi-
cient to inoculate a little more than
>ne bushel of the aeed for which the
.noculatlon la desired. In special
cases, however, when large quantities
)f seed are to be Inoculated, directions

can be made up at a cost of a few
cents per gallon. In writing atate
what legume you expect to sow and
give approximately the date of plant-
ing so thst we may send the organisms

necessary, as our methods require the
Inoculation to be made either before

Full directions for use are Included
In each package sent out. The bac-
teria are beneficial only In connec-
tion with legumes and are not appli-
cable to other farm or garden crops.

With reference to cooking food for
swine, those who write upon the ques-
tion generally advise against It They
do so on the ground that It has been
found by experiment that It does not
pay to cook food for swine. The fact,
however, la too frequently lost sight ot
that In the winter season It Is wise
to steam food for swine for the reason
that It may be fed to them In a warm
state. When thus fed it warms the
body and keeps the animals more
comfortable than they otherwise would
be. Because of this, therefore, It
doubtless does pay to steam food for
swine, when the weather Is quite cold,
although It does not pay to steam It
or cook It when the weather is com-
fortable.

WITH THE FLOWERS.
In taking cuttings be sure to use a
iharp knife.
For vines to train upon the trellis
In the window garden, we would av-
vlse the Maderla vine and the cobea.
Plants that have a rather tough bark
like the English Ivy and oleander,
root better in water than In sand.
When plants are not growing much,
out little water is needed. If too
much water ia given, there is danger
>f the soil souring.
Among the plants best adapted to
jultlvatlon in window boxes are geran-
iums, fuchsias, heliotropes, plumbagos,
begonias, pansles and tea roses.
In sunny windows almost any sum-
mer blooming flower can be grown
successfully. Let the children start a
window box early this month. Fill
the box with ordinary garden seeds.
Do not plant the seeds too thick.
Flowers on the table during the
winter months are greatly appreciated
Aim to combine freshness and variety.
It Is not the number but the quality
and arrangement.
A good way to start cuttings Indoors
Is to place the cuttings In a box of
sharp sand, giving plenty of moisture
and placing the box on the back of the
stove where bottom heat can be fur-
nished.
Plant food Is best supplied to plants
when they are making active growth.
Many plants have been killed by giving
them rich food when their stomachs
were unable to digest It
THROW IT TO THE HENS.
One of our leading poultry papers
had the following query In the De-
cember Issue: "What Is the best way
to feed green bone?" The editor an-
swered: "Throw It to the hens."
It Is supposed that the person mak-
ing the Inquiry was In Ignorance as
to the amount to feed, how often, and
whether It should be fed In mash or
separately. 'Throw It to the hens" Is
misleading advice. Green bone Is a
stimulating and forcing food for lay-
ing hens and chicks. It cannot be
tossed to the hens as grain Is, and fed
ad libitum. Both green and dry bone
should be fed in small proportion to
tho ration. If fed In the mash it is
more evenly distributed; there Is less
danger of the greedy birds taking all
the meal. If it la fed separately and
regularly fowls are not likely to over-
eat of It Green cut bone In fair quan-
tity Insures health, growth and eggs;
when fed too freely It brings on di-
gestive troubles and diarrhoea. Not
more than a teaspoonful three times a
week should be given to the laying
hens. "Throw it to the hens" If It
seems best, but see to it that each ben
gets her share.
Mothlng Succeeds Like "IOO-O-bm."

mon; the man who tella the funnies^

TRUE COURAGE.
LAND SKINNING.
The land skinning process la under,
full headway through much of ths
fertile territory of the great Missla-
slppl valley, a soli which It haa long
been customary to say was practically
Inexhaustible In Its natural fertility.
The rains are eroding the surface of
the hillsides, the weeds are commit-
ting a continued round of grand lar-
ceny, and the tenant one-year renter
systematic highway robbery prevails
over much of this once fertile tract
These lands are better than those of
Delaware and Virginia, but they are
being needlessly forced to that point
where the question of the use of com-
mercial fertilizers will have to be con-
station. In Its present use at sea
there are often atmospheric disturb-
ances which temporarily destroy the
usefulness of the wireless apparatus,
but these periods have been brief. It
is believed thoroughly by the experts
In wireless telegraphy that nothing
short of a catastrophe which wrecks
the ship and renders all apparatus
useless will prevent the publishing
dally of dispatches from the explor-
ers sailing poleward in the monster
airship. As the magnetic pole of the
earth has been found 1,200 miles from
the mathematical pole, on the coast
of North America, It Is reasonably
certain that at the mathematical pole
there will be encountered no magnetic
disturbances which will destroy the
usefuness of the wireless apparatus.
Moving Pictures Provided.
The Importance of the expedition
is reflected significantly In the fact
that a London firm has sent cinemnto>
graph operators to Spitsbergen for the
purpose of catching on moving films
all the trial work done before the
serious flight Is undertaken. Already
these operators have been in Norway
photographing the trials of the "me-
chanical dogs" and these Alms have
been Bhown In London with great sue-
I cess. Spitsbergen Is as far as the
moving picture mm will be able to
follow the expedition, but ample pro->
vision hBs been made for the secur-
ing of still pictures after the airship
leaves Dane's Island for the pole.
The experiments with the "mechanical
dogs" were made In Norway, and the
results, as shown by the moving pic-
tures shown In London, were eminent-
ly satisfactory.

Queer Fish.
It has Just been reported to ths
Yorkshire (England) Naturalists' so-
ciety that there Is to be seen the re-
markable sight of frogs swimming In
the Bea at Cayton bay, midway be-
tween Scarborough and Filey. In the
bottom of a wooded gorge at this place
Is a stagnant fresh water pool, a few
feet above the sands, tenanted by hun-
dreds of frogs. These are all more or
less sluggish In movements, as are
also some scores of others dotted about
on the sands. The peculiarity of the
latter Is that they allow the Incoming
wavelets to lap over them and carry
them out with the suck-back, when
they swim to shore again.
▲ TYPE OF HOG CHOLERA.
The department of agriculture re-
ports the discovery of a type of hog
cholera which is not caused by bacteria
but which is none the le3s exceeding-
ly contagions. Hogs coming in con-
tact with the sick almost Invariably
contract the disease, which, fortunate-
ly cannot be communicated to any oth-
er animal than the hog. The symp-
toms noticed are largely the same as
In the ordinary swine plague and hog
cholera. The first day there is a loss
of appetite and llstlessness; the second
day the hog becomes very sick, hollow
in the flanks, with a staggering gait,
maybe diarrhoea and again maybe not.
The eyes become sore and the lids
glued together. Death usually takes
place within seven days, and approx-
imately within two weeks after the
first exposure. The disease particu-
larly affects the kidneys. It Is con-
fined bo far to southwestern Iowa, and
farmers'In that section should be par-
ticularly careful not to allow strange
hogs to come on their farms or to per-
mit their hogs In any way to come In
contact with other herds.
The department recommends the Iso-
lation of all sick animals and the dis-
infection of all Infected lots with a
thorough disinfectant. The details of
special methods of treatment will be
given to the public by the department
in due time.
FERTILIZERS FOB
FARMS.
WESTERN
The majority of farmers on the new
and fertile lands of tho west and
southwest have thought but little
about the use of commercial fertilizers.
Recent changes In crop systems In
many sections have led farmers to in-
quire if there should not be a re-
placing of the elements taken from tho
soil. The practice has been to Ignore
the principle of returning to the soli
any plant food, so long as there
was a large amount of naturally
rich or virgin land. Leaving out the
question of virgin lands, we have
reached a point where a great major-
ity of our farms could be benefited by
a careful preservation and utilization
of plant food.
Boy's Adventure with a Bear.
A black bear that had strayed from,
the Turtle Mountain reservation In-
vaded the farm of John Dunlop at

moned and among the party was
Frank Munler. a 15-year-old boy, who
was mounted and had a shotgun wlCh
which he shot the bear.
He secured a rifle from one of the
men and managed to inflict a mortal
wound on the bear, which charged
him. The pony got away and Munler
had to run for his life, but the bear

In an exchange we notice a state-

to depend upon a hired man to prop-

much more easily fenced In. When,

than to keep feeding hogs on full
feed. This, however, must not be over-
done, for It Is possible to Injure the
