Thompson, Editor Iowa State Bystander Des Moines, Iowa Last week we left our readers in Macon, Mo. We only told about Prof. Garnett and his college, but back of Dr. Garnett is a strong faculty.

We are to be congratulated in adding one more Negro enterprise. Mr. McMiller, a young man of good appearance and energy, has begun the creation of a new skating rink near the northeast corner of Twelfth Street Place and Crocker street. The rink will cost when completed about $3,000. We are glad that this young man had foresight enough to open up a place of amusement for our young people, since so many of our city amusement places operated by white people have already partly closed the A NEW RINK. and one M. E. As the ministers were away I cannot give their names. The A. M. E. church has just completed a very beautiful structure which cost about $10,000. The two Baptist churches are practically new buildings and each has a fairly good attendance. Prof. Bolden lives here, although he teaches in Salisbury, Mo., and is principal of that school. He is one of the leading teachers of the state. His wife, Mrs. Etta Bolden, is the newly elected grand princess of the S. M. T. and as Mrs. Bolden is a very bright and interesting woman we hope and bespeak for her great success with that grand order and trust that we will be able to have her in our city before long. Mr. S.

Gould, the millionaire of New York. door or segregated the colored people in their places. The strange and peculiar thing was that a few so-called race leaders filed their protest and opposed this colored man opening his rink on the ground that it would become a nuisance or questionable place and yet some of those men who were fighting it have been conducting places and things far more questionable than this rink could ever be. My brother, first take the beam out of your own eye to see the mote in your brother, and ministers should not be so easy drawn into a fight before we know whether the rink will be a nuisance or not. Give everybody a chance, a fair trial to succeed. Our young colored men who desire to enter into business need encouragement, not knocks, from their own race leaders.

London.—This is an account of how f British aeroplane fought and eluded six Gorman machines. It is taken from the journal of an aeroplane ob- server at the front. The Kipper and the Mound, pilot and observer of “the old cow,” caused some anxiety at the aerodrome by being late In re turning from # reconnoissance. Here is the account of what actu- ally happened, extracted from the Mound with considerable difficulty: “By the time we had gone ten miles into the hostile country three German machines began following us at almost our own height. We were not worried, because they had a good four miles to make up. “In a few minutes the Kipper shout- ed down the phone: ‘Leok out on your left. They are trying to head us off.” Far below us, but not far in front, two more machines were climb- ing towards us, “L watched the machines below ‘while the Kipper kept those bebind in the corner of his eye. zn about twenty minutes we had reached the end t our course and had completed our observations, All five enemy machines were now fairly close together in a rectangular formation, but had not gained on us, “How we were to get back and out- wit the enemy was now our problem. ‘The Kipper swung ‘the old cow’ about twice to give the Impréssion of hesi- tation. The enemy, although still about two or threo miles astern, turned north on the assumption that we must return the way we came. Having di- verted thelr course, wo bore east again and gained a couple of miles while the enemy was determining what to do next. Keeping to thelr mags formation, they bore southeast, thinking they had us sure. “Things happen quickly in the air. ‘A few soconds mean hundreds of yards and the difference between suc. ‘cess and failure. ‘The Kipper tlited ‘the old cow's’ horns in the line the Germans were following. This lost us some ground. The Germans were #0 fnterested in this that they did not notice that we were edging off to'the norfl, just enough, to insure thelr erossing us.on our flank. In about two minutes they were almost level, but well to the right, “The moment bad come for a bold stroke. The Kipper leveled the ma- chine, poised her at a terrific angle and made in a straight line for the nearest German. The whole five tip: ped in unison. We knew that they ‘would take a good twenty seconds to get under way again. Like a flash the Kipper circled outwards and made off for the lines on a straight course. ‘There was no one to bar the way for the moment. The Germans were out- witted, but started in pursuit. That twenty seconds meant halt a mile to us. “Suddenly above the roar of the en- gine there was the rattle of a machine gun close up, and a dull thudding tear as some shots found the planes. It was so misty it took us a few seconds to spot the new danger. It was an Albatross crossing us about 300 yards above. The Kipper keeled ‘the old cow’ out in an instant and we were soon on a lovel with the new enemy, who was laboring to pass our front again. We swung towards him and charged. ‘The pilot, who thought he had us on the run, lost his nerve and went into ‘& spinning dive and only camo out 3,000 feet below. “We resumed our homeward course ‘without further incident.” Cop Prefers Shovel. loewaayees Tae meer tole dale Oa Datasets or ee een lamb rye wielding a mace and walking slow Postrace nis se ee tom of Joseph’ Peters after four. ‘months'-experience 9 the lbcal police.

You know he 1s the surgeon thero and this is his visiting day." And s0 it was. The father was in the next ward performing bis work. thinking all the time that his son was in France.

Strange to say, after a flerce day's fighting in France, Private Henderson saw a wounded soldier lying In front of the trenches, and on going to his assistance he was struck by some- thing familiar about the wounded man. Henderson then asked his comrade it it was he who had saved “Davio” Henderson from a watery grave at Wemyss the previous summer. “It was,” came the reply. ‘Then I am Davie Henderson,” was the dramatic rejoinder.

Word. EO ‘That shotguns should be largely utilized in modern warfare Is the con- tention of a number of military ex- perts. It {s pointed out that such guns would be particularly useful to sen- tries at nighttime, as an intruder might more easily be crippled and captured by a spreading charge of heavy shot than by a single bullet, Moreover, a person moving quickly might often be missed by a shot from a rifle, whereas a snapshot from a shotgun in semidarkness could hardly fall to find its object. In the trenches shotguns could be used with success. A shotgun loaded with about 48 grains: of powder and one and one-half ounces of big shot, with about 25 pellets, would be of ‘much more value than the rifle, as dur- ing a night attack, either for attack or defense in semidarkness, a single chazge would hardly fail to inflict ser ous wounds on one or more of the enemy.

Manure and Feed Carriers a Feature of the Design—Chaper and Easier to Care for Cattle When They Face Each By WILLIAM A. RADEFORD: Mr. William A. Radford will answer questions and give advice. FREE OEP materials are available, but for the subject of building work on the farm, for the readers of this paper, on account of the readers of this paper, on account of the Manufacturer, he is, without doubt, the highest. All inquiries to William Radford, No. 1827 Prairie avenue, Chicago, Ill., and only include two cent stamp for reply. We read a great deal about the necessity of keeping the dairy herd warm and comfortable in winter, but no one seems to pay much attention to keeping the cows cool and comfortable in summer. The monitor roof style of dairy building is well liked in some sections, especially where the summer is long. A dairy barn of this type is shown in the accompanying illustrations, which give the perspective and floor plans. This stable is open to the roof, a design that just naturally ventilates itself when the windows are left open. The building L. 36 feet wide by 54 feet in length and it contains stalls to hold 20 cows, besides two box stalls to be used as hospital stalls, bull pen, calf pen, or for any other useful purpose. This plan is laid cut for and is intended to use manure carriers suspended from overhead tracks in the side allewaves behind the cows, also a ```markdown ``` feed carrier to run through the center feed alley, to carry silage from the silo, or mixed feed from the little feed room built in between the end of the stable and the silo. The same center car track and carrier will bring forage from a hayrack at the other end of the building. In using a stable in this way dairymen often prefer to cut certain crops in the field and haul the fodder to the stable to feed. This plan of feeding is not practiced to any extent in the North, but there are conditions of climate in some of our best dairy sections where feed crops grow late in the fall, and still others are sown in the fall to mature early in the spring, that may be fed to advantage as soiling crops. All milk crops and cereal crops handle, because they are fed green. It has always been a puzzle to dairymen how to handle such fodder without pulling their arms out of the sockets. A center feed alley built on this plan, with LITTER CARRIER LITTER ALL SQUARE STEEL CDW STALLS & STAN MANGER FEED CARRIER TRACK FEED ALLEY MANGER STEEL CDW STALLS & STAN SQUARE LITTER CARRIER LITTER A 34'-0" Floo an extra large feed carrier, comes about as near solving the problem as any system that has ever been tried. Thirty-six feet in width is recognized as being the most satisfactory cow stable when machinery is used to save hand labor. It gives room for the different stable carriers, for milking machines and for the necessary mechanical appliances to operate the different labor savers. In this stable the cows are headed in for the same reason. It is cheaper and easier to care for cattle when they face each other. Also the many windows of the building admit light where it is most needed. All of the window openings are fitted with sash that may be closed during cold or stormy weather. The monitor sash is hung with a patent bracket, so that each sash swings from the center in such a way as to easily open by means of connecting rods that come down within reach of the attendant. One advantage of hanging the sash from the center is that high winds are not likely to slam the sash, either open or shut. The foundation of this monitor-roof dairy barn is of concrete, the walls having footings wide enough to make them solid and deep enough to reach down to solid ground. These walls extend up two feet above grades. A profile of the dairy floor conforms to the most approved plan worked out by practical dairymen. The concrete standing floor has a fall of one inch between the front and back feet of the cows. This is to be clitrate drainage and for easy cleaning. The mangers are two feet in width, they are six inches deep at the back and 12 inches deep at the front or feed-alley side. The standing floor measures four feet ten inches from the back of the manger to the gutter. The gutter is 18 inches wide and drops six inches below the standing floor. The feed alley in the center is about seven feet in width and the alleys behind the cows are five feet six inches wide. The side alleys slope with a fall of one inch towards the gutter. This makes a stable floor that is permanent and satisfactory. The roof may be supported in two ways. It may be made self-supporting so there will be no posts in the way. This is done by running the rafters from the caves clear through to the monitor plates. They are crossed and bolted at the crossings, and the whole roof structure is made into a trussed roof by ties reaching across the building from one side plate to the other side plate. All monitor studding reaches down and is bolted to these cross ties and to the rafters, thus forming a very strong truss. The other plan supports the monitor studding or posts long enough to reach from the rear wall of the concrete mangers to the monitor plates. It is customary to place these posts two cows apart, and the monitor windows are the same width as the cows stall. This arrangement provides one monitor window for each two cows. The cow stalls may be two feet ten inches between stall partitions, or they may be three feet two inches, according to the size of the cows the stable is intended for. Generally there is no ceiling in a monitor-roof cow stable, for the reason that with a ceiling it is necessary to have a ceiling. There is there no excuse for the monitor.

As sure as a young woman is interested in us, considers us with a certain amount of admiration, she invariably starts in to tell us the story of her life. We may feel bored but we can also fairly flat ter ourselves that she has cast a favorable eye upon us. "But how do you know he is interested in you?" asks mamma, when daughter makes a tentative condence. "Oh. he talked about himself the whole time," answers daughter artlessly—and mamma moda understandingly and puts him through Bradstreet. —Exchange. The Wolf and the Shepherd. A Wolf followed a flock of sheep for a long time, and did not attempt to injure one of them. The Shepherd at first stood on his guard against him.

But when the Wolf, day after day, kept in the company of the sheep, and did not make the slightest effort to seize them, the Shepherd began to look upon him as a guardian of his flock rather than as a plotter of evil against it; and when occasion called him one day into the city, he left the sheep entirely in his charge. The Wolf, now that he had the opportunity, fell upon the sheep, and destroyed the greater part of the flock. The Shepherd on his return, finding his flock destroyed, exclaimed, "I have been rightly served; did I trust my sheep to a Wolf?"—From Aesop's Fables. Neglected Duty. There is one duty that human beings conspicuously neglect. It is a tremendously important duty. And it is also, for most human beings, the most attractive duty in the world. Nevertheless, in spite of its attractiveness and its importance, it is seldom spoken of. There are millions of people who don't recognize it as a duty. So they neglect to strive for it. Then they wonder why they have not achieved the duty. Sometimes they complain, bitterly. Occasionally, by a chance, they do achieve the duty without recognising it as a duty. Then they neglect it, and they suffer for the rest of their lives. Surely you know what the duty is. It is simply the duty of being happy—New York Telegram. THE FLOWER GARDEN A Lavishness of Bloom Scarcely Believable. GROW HARDY ROSES By ELIZABETH VAN BENTHUYSEN By ELIZABETH H VARBENTHUS The season of bloom of the "hybrid perpetual" can be greatly extended by intelligent cultivation and a proper soil. The sturdy bushes should carry their beautiful flowers way into the fall. We have come to think of roses in the fall as a delusion and a snare, excepting, of course, the hybrid teas, which have so long been regarded in America as the only everblooming roses. There are, however, a good dozen and a half that can be relied upon to give a second crop of bloom and a thing of beauty in August and September. The Frui Karl Druschki, one of the very best and most popular plants ever raised, has done more to redeem hardy rose culture than any other hybrid perpetual class. It adapts itself to almost any soil, and stands unique as a hardy white rose of its class. The very best of the long season bloomers in pink include the Mrs. John Lalu, a pale pink; Madame Gabriel Luzet, deep rosy pink with white at the base much like the Mrs. R. G. Sharman-Crawford. You certainly cannot afford to ignore when planting for second bloom, Pride of Waltham, delicate flesh colored shaded with bright rose; Anna de Diesbach, very large; Heinrich Schultheil, light rose, very fragrant; Mrs. F. W. Sanford, blush shading to white; Paul's Early Blush, pale pink, flowering all the summer right up to frost. These roses form a group of roses from which a selection may easily be made. The Paul Neyron will yield its best FERNS EASY TO RAISE B. Y. L. M. BENNINGTON. The ordinary way to propagate this class of plants is by dividing the plant, by the creeping rhizomes, by the little bulbules that form on the fronds and by the seeds or spores that appear on the underside of the leaves. The enterprising form lower will find it most interesting to propagate by spores and perchance produce a really valuable addition to these beautiful and graceful plants. Procure a seed pan or box with plenty of drainage holes, and cover the bottom with broken crockery.

There is a highway in South Africa built from the dust and dirt of the diamond mines near by. A man with sharper eyes than his neighbors purchased the right to work over this refuge and from it has produced a fortune in diamond dust. Every-day humanity ignores much in the life of the world around and beneath it—or at least fails to consider it as a factor in the discovery of truth. Gold can be mined wherever human hearts abound. IOWA STATE BYSTANDER BEAUTIFUL and Shrubbery and Cultivation roses three weeks later than the season of ordinary rose bloom, and is the largest, a most vigorous looking and sturdiest of the roses so often accused of being coarse on account of their enormous growth. The deepest colored latest flowering rose is Louis Van Houtte. This is one of the very best black-crimson, hardy roses for any time of the year. It has a competitor in Horace Vernet, a deep purplish red shaded with dark crimson. The careful cultivator must not sit down and expect plants to do their best with little attention. Eternal vigilance is the price of good roses. Plenty of good feeding, plenty of cultivation, early spring pruning and manuring will usually repay the amateur. Cut off the flowers as they fade in June and July. Cut back the flowering growth one-third, thus leaving about a foot of the season's growth. The side branches that develop will ordinarily give flowers in due season. It is quite possible to have a second bloom from some of the Wichuraina roses. The flowers need and need development. With a congenial soil these roses will give a pretty show of flowers the latter part of September and during October. I have seen Hiawatha, laden with flowers in the middle of November. Here are the varieties that are sure to bloom all the year: Madame Levaevasseur, Frau Karl Druschki, white; Burbank, pink; Gruss and Teplitz, red; all Bengals.

Camm. this place half-decayed sod and fill with carefully mixed and sifted leaf mold and sand. Make the surface of the soil perfectly smooth and level, and then scatter the spores on it and leave them without any covering, that is, of soil. However, they must be inclosed in glass by placing a pane of glass over the seed box or pan. Water by placing the seed pan it water, and keep it there until the water appears on the surface of the sr.1. Then remove at once, for too much water will destroy the spores. Keep the box in the light, but not in the sun, for ferns naturally grow in shady places. Follow nature's lead. Fern That Flourishes With Proper Care Home. When the best and happiest house keeper known to the writer was asked to tell the secret of her speed in housework, she replied: "I never iron with a cold iron, cut with a dull knife, or get to my kitchen to prepare a meal without a clean small hand towel plinned to my apron belt on one side and a similar dish towel plinned on the other. Try it and see how much time and how many extra steps you will sate." —Exchange ADD SALAD DISHES TO MENU People Today Eat Too Much Cooked Food That is Frequently Lacking in Nutritive Qualities. It has long boon a joke how cats and dogs, when out of sorts, fly to grass or some kind of green food for relief. The animal knows by instinct what only a few human beings are beginning to learn from experience—namely, that nature has provided vegetables of the leaf order, rich in mineral salts. These salts possess a double power—they not only combine with the acids and poisons in the body, rendering them powerless, but they also drive them out of the system altogether. It is not too much to say that no great mental, moral or physical progress can be made without an ample supply of this vegetable food. Salad is the one ingredient of our regular diet which we cannot afford to do without. Some people say salad is cold and indigestible, but cabbage, if eaten raw, needs only two and a half hours for digestion, as against five hours when boiled! The boiling of green foods destroys the original organic combination of the mineral salts. The blood of a healthy person should be alkaline—that is, the opposite of acid—and it is the alkaline salts in vegetables which bring about this healthy condition. Many thousands of men and women of all ages suffer from anemia, from having lived almost entirely on cooked food. To those long accustomed to highly flavored food, salads will at first seem tasteless, but a liking for them comes with use. Salad should be very carefully washed in several changes of clean water. This is essential. During washing the leaves should be well picked over and inspected. Leaves should be torn, not cut. When done, they can be allowed to soak for an hour, or overnight, but not longer in cold water, to which a little lemon juice has been added to increase the crispiness of the leaves. When done, they can be used flowers for salads. Chrysanthemums, stocks, violet, roses, nasturtiums and dandelions are especially good, as they possess strong antitoxic powers. PARSNIP NOT GIVEN ITS DUE With Proper Preparation the Vegetable Should Be One of the Greatest Table Favorites. Do you like parsnips? If you don't, why don't you? If they cost as much as French artichokes—which have far less flavor—wouldn't you like them? Perhaps the reason they have never appealed to you is because they are so common that they are fed to the cattle. Often our likes and dislikes for food are based on such reasoning. Of course, parsnips must be carefully cooked to be really worth the eating. Baked parsnips have a delicious flavor. To prepare them, wash them and parsnip them until them lengthwise. Then slice them lengthwise and put them in a baking dish, with butter and pepper and salt sprinkled over them. Bake them until brown in a moderate oven. Parsnip salad is made of parsnips that have been steamed until tender, sliced crosswise, dredged in flour and fried brown in butter. Chill them and put them on lettuce leaves and add a teaspoonful of chopped ham and one of hard-boiled egg chopped fine to each plate. Sprinkle a little chopped parsley over them and serve with mayonnaise. Parsnip fritters are made from mashed boiled parsnips. To a pint of it add a teaspoonful of four, a well-beaten egg and a sugar salt. Make frying oil. Fry brown. Scalloped parsnips: Mix two cups of cold, mashed parsnips with two tablespoonfuls of butter and cream enough to make smooth. Put in a pudding dish, sprinkle with buttered bread crumbs and bake until brown. White Brend.

A name commonly used for this vegetable when canned is pimento, which least a dozen plants in the garden to supply the needs of the table. A name commonly used for this vegetable when canned is pimento, which is incorrectly used, as pimento is alspice. The real name is "pimiento," giving another alspice. A chopped green pepper given to almost any salad, and especially a potato salad, improves it wonderfully. Care should be taken to carefully wash them, remove the white inner fiber, as well as the seeds, before using. Peppers chopped and pounded, then fixed with cream cheese make a most appetizing roll. Fried sweet peppers make a nice garnish to serve with lamb, mutton or pork chops. Stuffed Peppers—Bread crumbs with tomato or rice and a few nuts, corn beash, boiled rice with chicken, and many other combinations make fine stuffing for peppers. See that they are well washed, then cut off the best end to make a stable receptacle, remove the white fiber and seeds; fill the pepper, replacing the cap. Put them into a baking dish with a little stock or butter and water to keep them moist while baking. Steak Smothered in Sweet Peppers. —Spread over a round steak the following mixture: A cup of bread crumbs, one small onion, chopped; a little poultry dressing, a pint of tomatoes and peppers mixed; if canned they will not need chopping. Place the stuffing on steak, roll and tie and pour over the tomato and pepper mixture. Cook very slowly three hours. Add boiling water or tomato juice if the meat becomes dry. Canned meat should also be placed on the mayonnaise shelf, if they add much mayonnaise.

Grapes if placed overnight on ice, then served with a leaf or on a plate will have a frosty appearance which will give them an added beauty and the cool fruit will be most grateful. Grape Juice.—To prepare—pick the stems from the fruit and cover with enough water to be seen between the grapes. Cook until the seeds are free and the skins look pink or have lost their color, then strain. Return the juice to the fire and add 20 minutes then to the quart and add a cuputer of sugar; in a cooler minutes longer and in a light bottles, dipping the corks in melted paraffin. Grape Juice Ice Cream.—To a cupful of grape juice add a pint of thin cream and sugar to sweeten, a tablespoonful of lemon juice, mix and freeze. Grape Jam.-Remove the skin from the pulp of well-washed grapes and put them in separate utensils; heat the pulp with a cupful of water and press through a sieve to remove the seeds; add the skins to the pulp and weigh. To each pound of fruit add three-fourths of a pound of sugar and just enough water to prevent burning. Cook until for 40 minutes. Grape Sherbet-Take three pounds of Concord grapes, three lemons, three pints of water and three cupfuls of sugar. Wash the grapes and put them in a granite pan, mash and squeeze out all the juice; measure and add an equal amount of water, the lemon juice and sugar. The sugar and water, if boiled to a shrup, will make a smoother sheerb. The amount of water should be allowed when measuring. Freeze as usual. A pretty novelty is crystallized grapes, large grapes in perfect bunches; wash carefully and dip in white of egg, then in pulverized sugar. Arrange on a platter on a bed of grape leaves. For grape jelly the grapes should be underripe. Prepare them as for grape juice, then add the sugar to the juice and cook until it thickens in a cold dish, when a teaspoonful is tried.
