The Savannah Tribune VOLUME XXIX Negro Artist Work Attracts Attention Richard Lonsdale Brown, Who Started as a Sign Painter, Has Found In New York Appreciation and a Market for His Pictures This is the story of a Negro youth who came to New York not so long ago penniless, alone and friendless, and who has advanced himself from the occupation of sign painter until he has become a painter of landscapes and other pictures. His work has been exhibited in a Fifth avenue art gallery and some of his pictures have been bought by Jacob H. Schiff, the banker, and by art connoisseurs from Europe. Incidentally he has been taken up by New York painters of note, among them members of the National Academy. Richard Lonsdale Brown is the name of this Negro artist, and he is 21 years old. Grandson of a slave and son of a black man who is a bricklayer and tile layer by turns, he was born in Indiana, but when a child was taken by his parents to West Virginia. There he lived until he came to New York. He taught himself all he knew of landscape painting until he came to Manhattan to seek an education as an artist. He told his story the other day in his studio in Harlem. "I was a little less than a year old when my parents took me to Parkersburg, W. Va., from my birthplace, Evansville, Ind., where my father had worked at his trade of tile layer," he said. "When I was old enough I went to public school and when 10 years of age moved with my father and mother to Pittsburg. Later we went to Charleston, W. Va., where I entered a trade school and worked to become a sign painter. "I remained there five years, and being then a journeyman sign painter I traveled through the mining districts of the State, working at my trade. My journeys took me almost altogether through the mountains—through those mountains where, when God make them he placed scenery the equal of which, I think, cannot be found in all America. It was there, I believe, that my love for landscape painting was awakened. When not painting signs I was doing what I could to reproduce the scenery of the mountains and valley, the rivers and the streams on canvas. "I had confidence in myself and knew I was worthy of better things than painting signs, but I needed the money for my daily living and so kept on doing that which brought me food and lodging, but whenever I could I did landscapes as well as other subjects. I was determined that some day I would come to New York, where I might have an opportunity to do something higher in the art scale than sign painting. "At last the day came when I decided to make the plunge. I left West Virginia with a small trunk and my paintings and came to New York. I rented a cheap room and the day after my arrival started out to try to sell some of my paintings, for my money was nearly all gone. Knowing that the art galleries were in Fifth avenue I went there. "Things are better with me now than then, but as I look back I can recall the chill which siezed me as I entered several art shops, with three or four landscapes under my arm. I was greeted with a cold stare and an inquiring look. Instinctively I felt the men in the shops asking themselves, 'What does this Negro want here?' "I braced myself and said, 'My name is Brown. I have some paintings to sell.' 'What Brown? I never heard of you,' was the reply. 'No we're not buying pictures to-day, Brown,' and the man smiled and turned his back. "I walked for days up and down Fifth avenue and some of the side streets visiting art stores in my desperate anxiety to sell some pictures whereby I might get food and pay my room rent, but it was the same story everywhere. No one seemed to take me seriously. Indeed, in some places I could see they thought I had perhaps stolen the pictures and was trying to dispose of them. Even now I often wonder that some of those persons I visited did not call a policeman and tell him they suspected me of being a thief and that the paintings A CENTRAL PARK NORMAL AND INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL. I had under my arm were probably stolen and that anyway I ought to be arrested as a suspicious person. "Day after day I visited art stores, but always with the same result. Then I remembered I had seen in the Metropolitan Museum of Art here a painting called 'In the Garden,' done by George de Forest Brush, who painted 'Silence Broken,' 'Mourning her Brave' and 'The Sculptor and the King,' the subjects for which he found when he was visiting New Mexico, and also the painting 'Leda and the Swan,' which was in the collection of the late Stanford White. "I began to think that, perhaps I was without actual talent for painting and that this was why the art dealers' of Fifth avenue would not give my work consideration. Desperate and with hope nearly gone, I determined to see Mr. Brush and ask him to look at my pictures and give me an honest opinion as to whether they had merit. I called at his studio in Macdougal alley near Washington Square and told him my story. He asked to see my work. When I showed it to him he told me I did have talent, but that I needed directing. He promised to help me, and he did. What I owe to him in gratitude I can never repay. I went to Keene, N. H., near which place Mr. Brush has his summer home and studio. I studied under him and by his guidance my work improved greatly. After the summer ended I came back to New York and entered the American Academy of Design. "Meanwhile I kept up my studio work. I offered a number of my paintings to an art dealer in Fifth avenue near Thirty-second street for exhibition purposes. They remained on exhibition for several weeks. There one of them I called 'Mount Monadnock, N. H.' was was seen by Mr. Jacob H. Schiff, who bought it. Last winter Mr. Albert Andriasse, an art connoisseur of Amsterdam. Holland, who was visiting New York, bought another which I named 'A Bend in the Stream.' I hope to go to Paris to study next year. "May I. say without being thought guilty of egotism or a desire to boast which is far from my intention, that. I think that what I have accomplished and what has been accomplished by other Negroes in other lines gives proof that the Negro is capable of worthy things and that the conception of many white persons that the Negro is good for nothing but manual labor and such other work as does not call for much mental effort is not only unfair but incorrect? After a people have been held down for centuries, as we have been, is it to be expected that we should in only fifty years of freedom equal or even approach the white race in every particular? Many persons, even to-day, gain their ideas of the Negro from story books, while it is a fact that many educated persons who have not had the opportunity to know the Negro at close range still regard him as but little more removed from the position in society he occupied while a slave. "This barrier, this color line, is in a way being broken down to a decided extent, however, as people come to see what the Negro is capable of accomplishing. We are are not all Jack Johnsons, and thinking, fair minded men and women whose skin is white are coming to a realization of this Private Schools Well Attended BEACH INSTITUTE RENOVATED THROUGHOUT Most of Smaller Schools Show Increase Over Enrollment Last Year The private schools of the city opened last week with large attendance and the present total enrollment surpasses that of last year. Several of the schools have enlarged their equipment thereby affording them better opportunity for handling the pupils. The most notable improvements are those at Beach Institute. The school building has been thoroughly renovated and other improvements have been made. The total cost of the improvements has been in the neighborhood of a thousand dollars. In the case of two of the larger schools the enrollment is less than that of last year, but all of the smaller schools show a large gain over last year. nominational schools if as follows: Schools 1912 | 1913 Beach Institute 141 | 160 Berean Bapt Academy 212 | 121 Butler Presbyterian 205 | 220 Forest City Ind 91 | 50 Catholic schools 410 | 450 Divine Services at St. Stephen's Episcopal Church.

Corner Stone Laid Tomorrow. Corner Stone Laid Tomorrow. AT CENTRAL PARK NORMAL INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL. Bureka Lodge Will Conduct Ceremony—School Will Open January 5th. The corner-stone of Wood Hall, Central Park Normal and Industrial Institute, will be laid at 4 p.m. to-morrow at Central Park by Eureka Lodge A. F. and A. M. Central Park is an educational settlement about two and a half miles south of the city limits on the White Bluff road. The lots are owned by Negroes in Georgia, South Carolina and Florida. The school is under the auspices of the A. M. E. church and is a part of the Morris Brown University system. Bishop Jos. S. Flipper and Chancellor W. A. Fountain of Atlanta have been invited to be present on this occasion. Mr. W. K. Wilkinson, president of the Central Park Corporation, who made it possible for the church, to obtain the property, will be present and will speak. The campus consists of twenty two and a half acres, beautifully located for the purpose. A number of fruit-bearing pecan trees fringe the eastern edge of the campus. The Executive Committee consisting of Drs. B. S. Hannah, L. A. Townsley, P. F. Curry, B. J. Ross, M. J. James, P. W. Greatheart, Messrs G. H. Bowen, J. A. Lankford and Jesse Brinson, is elated over the success of its effort. Dr. R. H. Singleton, secretary of the committee and the moving spirit in the enterprise, has been untiring in his efforts, and will doubtless feel gratified at the result of his arduous labors. Prof. J. A. Lankford, the architect of the A. M. E. Church, drew the plans for the building, which when completed in its entirety will be one of the best school buildings for Negroes in this section of the country. Mr. J. W. Welcher of Jacksonville, Fla. is the contractor, and Mr. W. P. Arnold of Atlanta, Ga., superintendent of construction. They hope to have everything ready for the opening of the school January 5, 1914. Rev J. W. Maxwell, an experienced educator, has been elected as principal, the other members of the faculty to be selected later. A large number of visitors and friends are expected to-morrow from out of town as well as from the city. Ample accommodations have been made by Mr. G. H. Bowen, who has charge of transportation, for all who will go. An automobile train with a capacity of 140 passengers will leave St. Philip church, West Broad and Charles streets at 2:30 and 3:30 p.m. Fare by train 20 cents round trip. Fare by regular automobile 50 cents round trip. The occasion promises to be a very auspicious one. Everybody is invited. Mrs. D. J. Hamilton returned home this week after an extensive visit to Charleston, Columbia, Charlotte and Boston, Mass. Friends in each place vied in making her stay very pleasant. DEDICATION AT ORPHAN-AGE Archbishop Delivers Sermon at St. Frances Institution in Normandy. The $20,000 addition to Saint Frances Orphan Asylum, in Normandy, Mo., at 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon was dedicated by Archbishop Glennon. The institution is conducted by the Oblate Sisters of Providence for the industrial education of Negro girls. The two new brick buildings were erected as wings to the main dormitory. Archbishop Glennon delivered the dedication sermon and officiated at the benediction of the blessed sacrament before a temporary altar in front of the orphanage on the lawn. Two thousand representatives of nearly every Catholic parish in St. Louis attended. The archbishop was assisted by Rev. Father John P. Spencer of New Cathedral Chapel and Rev. Father P. W. Tallon of Visitation Parish as deacons of honor, and twelve other priests, students and novitiates from the Passionist monastery, a delegation of Sisters of Charity from St. Vincent's institution and the Gregorian choir of fifty altar boys from St. Alphonsus Church, in charge of Brother Hury, F. S. C. The exercises were conducted under the direction of Sister Superior Mary Petra. Guests of honor were Rev. Mother Mary Frances, provincial of the order; Mother Mary Magdalen and Sister Flavia Domatitia of Baltimore, Md.; Sister Mary Baptiste, superior of the covenant at Leavenworth, Kan.; Sister Elizabeth, superior of Washington, D.C.; Sister Anita, superior of the order in New Orleans, La., and Sister Juliana, superior of St. Rita's Academy, St. Louis. SISTERS WORK PRAISED. Among representatives of the St. Vincent de Paul Society were J. F. Hines, St. Ann's Parish; C. Hike, Holy Trinity; Henry Frein and J. B. Frein, St. Francis Xavier; W. J. Finnegan, St. Rose; Rev. Father Coyle, Old Cathedral; John and Patrick Sheehan, John Sheehan, Jr., and Rev. Father E. J. Lemkes of St. Barbara's Parish. Archbishop Glennon praised the work of the Oblate Sisters. "I know of no more worthy charity than that conducted here in Normandy by the Oblate Sisters," he said, "and I am glad to see the Catholics of St. Louis appreciate it. They have our sympathy, support and benediction. The Catholic Church, in fulfilling the commission to teach all nations, knows no race." St. Benedict's Church—News From Our Schools Every seat and corner is occupied in the Catholic colored schools. Over 400 children have been enrolled and we are compelled, to our greatest regret to turn down some of the applicants. St. Benedict's school has received 180 pupils in its class room and St. Mary's 160. St. Anthony's and St. Augustine's schools made a good attendance also this year. The work of the church is principally in the education of the children. The morality of the future depends on the rearing of the dear little ones. From our children well brought up a whole generation of good citizens and Christians may proceed. Parents should understand better the great duty of education and help the teachers in that noble work. They must provide their children with a good school and good teacher. The priests of the African Mission Society give you every opportunity of having your children well taught and brought up in the fear of God. The Catholic church of St. Benedict's the Moor has changed its schedule for the divine service. Masses will be now every Sunday at 7 a.m., 8 a.m. and 10:30 a.m. The last mass is always a high mass The choir of St. Benedict's supplies us with the best church music in town. Come and enjoy the beautiful selections rendered by the choir under the direction of Reverend G. Obrecht, pastor. The following are members of the choir, Bass-Mr. N. A. Cuyler, president, Mr. R.

Nergess to Have Grand Knoxville, Tenn., Oct. 9, 1913. Dr. Booker T. Washington will come to the National Conservation Exposition, the biggest and greatest exposition in every way ever held in the South, for "Booker Washington Day," October 14. The day is expected to be one of the largest in point of numbers and in importance of the exposition. Dr. Washington will be greeted on the exposition grounds by at least 15,000 members of the race. The people will come from all parts of the south. Special excursions will be run on a number of the railroads and different cities of the south will send large delegations of colored folk to Knoxville for the big day. A big parade with floats and other attractive features will be one of the big events of this memorable day. Arrangements are being made to put some 10,000 persons in line. Practically every Negro in Knoxville will turn out; there will be some 2,000 or 3,000 others from East Tennessee and many others from different points. The floats will be designed to show and to impress upon the minds of all the wonderful progress that has been made by the Negro in the south in the last few years. They will be of tasteful design and will show progress in education, in different trades and lines of business and in other ways. Dr. Washington will, of course, deliver an address and the large exposition auditorium will be used for this purpose. Dr. Washington can always be depended upon to say something interesting to his hearers and to strike a keynote that will vibrate long after the sound of his voice has died away. The National Conservation Exposition is the first in history devoted to the cause of conservation. It is an educational exposition primarily. Education is the conservation of the human mind that otherwise would go to waste. Education has done much for the colored race and this fact and others are strikingly exemplified in the exhibits in the Negro building. No building on the exposition grounds has come in for a greater share of praise than has this building. The exhibits are comprehensive, are attractively arranged and displayed and reflect the greatest credit on all. The date of Booker Washington Day falls on one of the days on which coach excursions are run from all points of the south to Knoxville. The rate of fare on that day is one cent a mile for the round trip. This fact will doubtless add to the big attendance. Local committees of Negroes are hard at work on the many different details and the many arrangements connected with the day. The Life After Death. Sir Oliver Lodge's challenge to science before the British Association announcing his belief in the continuity of personal existence has aroused world-wide interest. A round top of the theories of seers and philosophers, ancient and modern, on the life after death is a striking feature of the Sunday Magazine and Story Section of The New York World on Oct. 12.

Exaggerated ego crops out occasionally even in Massnry, and some brethren do not realize that Masonry is supported by many pairs of shoulders, the removal of any of which would not cause the institution to totter. There is no place in Masonry for self exaltation. Paul said "Pure religion and undefiled before God the Father, is this: to visit the widow and fatherless in their affliction and keep himself unspotted from the world." This sounds like Masonic doctrine. Masonry teaches men to disregard the false and arbitrary distinctions of society and to appraise things at their worth. The man who does nothing for Masonry misses two-thirds of the enjoyment of membership. The more you do, the fuller will be your enjoyment. To be a true Mason is to be a true man. Masonry dwells in the heart, and not in the badge on the coat. A small increase composed of the right kind of material is infinitely preferable to untold numbers of undesirables. "Before you condemn a brother stop, think, and persuade yourself, if you can, that you would have any different, under the same conditions and surroundings." Life at best is short. Let us use our time wisely and well. Masonry's great mission is to uplift humanity and glorify God. In all our dealings with our brethren, let brotherly love prevail. The welfare of our brother should be as dear to us as our own. Be broad minded, charitable, and full of business for the interest of Masonry. Devote your time to good deeds and not to grumbling and kicking. There are ten things for which no one has ever yet been sorry; These are; For doing good to all; for speaking evil of no one; for hearing before judging; for thinking before speaking; for holding an angry tongue; for asking pardon for all wrongs; for being patient towards everybody; stopping the ear to a tale bearer, for disbelieving the most of the ill reports. The division of Masonry into rites and orders is very much like the streams which flow from the fountain head. In one stream flows the morality of Masonry, in another the philosophy, hoary with age. These streams glide along peacefully side by side, each bearing upon its crest that which will refresh and benefit humanity. There should be neither rivalry nor antagonism for the mission of all is the same. IMPLUENCE OF EXAMPLE The example of every Mason is dependent upon his personal habits and conduct. It is what he does that fixes his influence, and not what he says. If his personal deportment is right, his example is good and his influence elevating and uplifting. Though the words of the wise be as nails fastened by the Masters of assemblies, yet their examples are the hammers to drive them in to take the deeper hold. A father who whipped his son for swearing and swore himself while whipping him, did more harm by his example than good by his correction. Example is the school of mankind; they will learn at no other. Noble and elevating examples stir up to noble accomplishments, and the very history of life and public soul inspires a man with generous thoughts.—Missouri Freemason. Masonry is worthy of any man's study. Too many brethren content themselves with memorizing the ritual' without investigating the deep underlying principles upon which Masonry is founded. There is not a more fascinating study than that of the symbolism of Masonry. Beginning with the great question of of the Entered Apprentice degree, "In whom do you place your trust?" and ending with the sublime tragedy of the Temple, Masonry offers a splendid field for the investigating mind. Masonry is indeed a magnificent system of moral and philosophical instruction, and if we would familiarize ourselves with its teachings, we could but be better and wiser-men. The ritual, the ceremonialism, are truly grand; but, after all, the real, inner meaning of our symbolism is what makes Masonry the greatest human institution that this world has over known—second only to the religion of the living God.—Herald. THE VANITY OF THE W. M. Is there not often a strongly expressed desire on the part of some Masters to make their year of of fice memorable? Not, be it noted in the character of the new ones or the steady progress on truly Masonic lines of those over whom they rule, but in merely numerical increment to the lodge roll. Anyone proposed is eagerly accepted because is he not another stone in the edifice? But of what material—often friable and porous and a source of weakness to the lodge. What does it matter however when a treasurer with a depleted banking account is enabled to show a balance on the right side at the end of the year and when the acclamations of the undertakings satisfy the vanity, of the P. M.? An unseemly haste to make others sheares of our secrets and partakers of our privileges work not for the good of Masonry. And it is a question whether some over-zealous brethren do not make the candidate almost a perjurer when he says he has of his own free will and accord and not against his own inclination desired to become a Mason.—Northern Freemason. OLDEST OF ORGANIZATION Let us think what Freemasonry has done for humanity during the centuries of the past, how it has outlived all other organizations and comes down to the twentieth century with the light of eternal youth upon its brow. But we easily know to what its wonderful vitality is to be ascribed. It is the sublime lessons it has always taught; to the lofty ideals it has always set up before its votaries; to the eternal principles it has always inculcated, and to the superior manhood these principles have always attracted to the order. The natural impulses of the soul in its conception of moral obligation of right and wrong are the underlying principles upon which the magnificent structure of Freemasonry stands. Masonry responds to the natural beatings of the human heart in its aspirations for fraternal fellowship and the development of higher impulses of man's better nature, and with its virtues and tenets of morality, its teachings of patriotism, brotherly love, relief and truth, it is the noblest factor time has ever produced for the moulding of the character of man—P. J. Martin, Grand Moster of Iowa. Smugglers' Philanthropy At Broadmoor and Perth, England, the criminal lunatics have a free supply of the most exquisite pipe tobacco, cigars and cigarettes. In fact, they smoke far finer stuff than the average rich man. Yet all this good, tobacco costs the government nothing. The smugglers of England pay for the smoking of the criminal insane. It is from her confiscated smuggled tobacco that England fills the tobacco boxes of Perth and Broadmoor.—London Telegraph. Easier Than Riding. "The president of this road," remarked the man in the corner of the smoking compartment. "is one of those old fashioned railroaders. He began as brakeman. Instead of riding over the line in a private car to inspect it he walks over it." "I don't blame him," declared the man who was making his first trip on the road—Exchange. Fish, Chicken and Veal. Raw pullet, raw veal and raw, fish make the graveyard, fat. This is hundreds of years old. A New York caterer (perhaps the most efficient in the city) sald to me: "There are three important articles of food that must under no circumstances be served underdone. They are fish, chicken and veal. By chicken I mean all poultry of a domestic nature. All game birds should be rare. You want to be a little careful about lamb too. Give it plenty of cooking."—New York Press. Luck "Do you believe there is anything in luck?" asked a young man of a philosopher, and the philosopher replied: "Yes; there's a lot of intelligence and method and perseverance in it."—London Mall.

"Cornstalk disease" is not a myth in spite of the loud assertions of a good many farmers who have been fortunate enough not to encounter it in their experiences, writes a Nebraska correspondent of Farm Progress. It is a very real thing to the man who has lost a few valuable young cattle through turning them into a stalk field. Young cattle seem to be more liable to dangerous attacks of this trouble than the older ones. For some reason, or other they are more susceptible to it, and it goes harder with them after ```markdown ``` The Galloway is the oldest of the pure breeds of cattle and is noted for its hardiness. The breed is native to southwest Scotland, where the custom among farmers is to winter cattle in the open. They have thus acquired those characteristics of hardiness which adapt them to farming conditions in America, especially in the northern and western sections. In fact, experience proves that the Galloway does better when wintered in the open than when sheltered in barns. Among beef breeds the Galloway holds high rank. they do get it. The drier the stalks the more liable the cattle are to be stricken. There is no treatment for it yet developed. The veterinarians cannot make up their minds as to the causes of the affection. It makes little difference about the cause so long as no two men are able to agree upon it. The point the cattle owner must keep in mind is how to prevent it. The following plan has been found valuable as a preventive: Turn the cattle into the stalks field gradually. The first stay ought not be longer than half an hour, and this may be gradually increased if no trouble is encountered. If the cattle are well fed and watered before being turned in there is less opportunity for trouble, as so much of the dry food will not be eaten. Giving them water immediately after they have stuffed themselves with dry blades and husks may bring on an attack. By feeding some laxative forage like alfalfa or millet as a part of the ration while on the stalks the cattle are less likely to develop any of the symptoms. So far as I know there is no medical treatment, but a laxative is helpful in the earliest stages of the trouble. It is well to bear in mind that a great many cases develop late in the fall or early in the winter during the first cold, stormy rains. By getting the cattle out of the fields in such weather and putting them under shelter the danger of an attack will be minimized. It is easy to pick out the sufferers in a herd. They are found "humped up" and at some distance from the main body of the cattle. The switching of the tall, the restlessness and the almost kicking are evidences of serious abdominal pains. The drier and older the stalks the more dangerous they seem to be. Cornstalk disease is rarely heard of early in the fall, but is more common after the last cornfield has been gathered and the stock turned in. Reasons For the Silo. Because of the palatability and suculence silage possesses higher feeding value than does the same forage dry cured. Conservative feeders estimate that the silo doubles the value of the forage crop. Silage can be used in summer and fall as a substitute for and to supplement pasture. It has been conclusively proved that the silo effects a considerable saving in the cost of production of beef, mutton and milk. The silo enables the farmer to keep more live stock, which promotes the rotation of crops and the preservation of the soil fertility. The mane and tail of a horse may be improved in thickness by simply bathing them once a day with cold water. If any skin trouble is present pour on or rub in a mixture of two parts machine oil and one part kerosene two or three times a week. Groom the horse thoroughly every day and feed carrots to improve the condition of the skin. The Ailing Animal When a farm animal is feverish stop feeding. As a rule a horse or a cow will not take food when in that condition, but sometimes folks urge them to do it. It only adds fuel to the fire. Wait; let nature work.

BURKE COURTESY. It has been said that courtesy is to the daily intercourse of life what fragrance is to the flower.

Respectability Killed Him There was a hermit in the center of London only a few years ago. His hermitage consisted of a cellar—the sole vestige of a house in Clare market pulled down and forgotten by its owners. He lived there for a long time, supported by scraps of food from the tradesmen of the neighborhood, and might have lived there longer still if a journalist had not "discovered" him. He was interviewed and photographed to death, for the workhouse authorities, nearly next door, who had hitherto turned a blind eye toward him, were compelled to oust him from his hermitage and make him clean and respectable—a process to which he succumbed—London Mail. Diamond Cutting. The brilliant is generally considered the finest form of diamond cutting. The top of the brilliant consists of the table—an eight sided facet in the center—surrounded by thirty-two smaller facets, which reach to the girdle, the thin edge separating the crown from the lower part of the stone, called the pavilion. The pavilion has twenty-four facets, terminating in a small facet called the culet. The best stones are cut so that less than one-third of the whole is above the girdle. Deceitful. "Men are queer animals," said the pessimist. "They are all more or less deceitful." "Oh, I don't believe that," replied the optimist. "I think there are plenty of people who strive to be honest. I know I do, and I don't give myself credit for being any better than the majority of men." "Then why do you ask me how my health is every time we meet and stand around and look bored if I tell you?"—Exchange. One Service Barred. A famous London barrister was upon one occasion called upon to defend a cook tried for murder, being accused of having poisoned his master. The barrister after a most able and brilliant defense of the culprit secured an acquittal. The cook, anxious to show his gratitude, said, "Tell me, sir, whatever can I do for you to reward you?" The triumphant counsel answered. "My good man, do anything you can, but for the love of heaven don't ever cook for me!" Turkey's Licorice Root Thousands of tons of licorice root, an article that by the natives generally is esteemed a pest and worse than worthless, are annually gathered in Turkey for exportation to America for use in the manufacture of chewing and smoking tobacco, as well as for flavoring confectionery and beer. The principal collecting stations are Bagdad, Alexandretta and Smyrna, at which places the exporters maintain offices, hydraulic presses and warehouses. The business is largely controlled by an American concern. His Only Chance. "Why did you shake your fist at the speaker?" "Well," replied the congressman, "I didn't want the whole session to slip by without my having made a motion of some kind."-Philadelphia Ledger. Catching a Cobra. A driver on the Avontuur railway, South Africa, while staying at the Gamtoos caught a large cobra de capello alive. The cool way in which he did the trick, says a local paper, sent a cold shiver through every one who saw it. He simply caught hold of the point of its tail, gave it a sudden jerk toward him, and caught the dangerous reptile by the back of the head. He then placed it in a biscuit tin. The snake was three inches in diameter and about four feet long WE NOT searing ready made or m us make CLOTHES PERFECT FIT ODRIZEN TE TAILORS BROAD ST.

They roam through the pastures, red, white, spotted, black, and the wealth they are making fills many a sack. And still opportunity knocks at our door. With the millions we ship, there's a market for more. On seas of alfalfa, in shadow and sheen, float cargoes of feed through the billows of green, and again and again on that marvelous tide the ripples of richness flash, wondrous and wide. Alfalfa, sweet emblem of plenty and charm, may the wave of thy verdure flood every farm! Time comes when each acre must yield without flaw. Production must double is nature's grim law. The cities will teem with vast millions that toll, and life, with its hopes, must depend on the soil. What methods more wise could the farmer combine than raising alfalfa, and fattening swine?—Brad in Kansas Farmer. DOUBLE YOUR EGG CROP. Use of the Trap Nest May Do the Trick—Right Mating Necessary. In Farm and Fireside a contributor says that poultry raisers can practically double their egg production if they persistently use the trap nest. Following is an extract from his article: "For the benefit of those who are not acquainted with the trap nest I will explain in detail its purpose. The trap nest is a nest so contrived that when the hen enters she springs a 'trap' which closes the door and holds her captive until she is released by the attendant. The nest is of sufficient size to allow the hen plenty of space to move around in or she would be apt to break the egg. "By taking the hens of highest trap nest record and mating them with males descended from heavy layers you will lay the foundation of a good strain of heavy layers. By careful trap nest culling and with the same care in breeding, year after year, you will build your flock up to a high state of efficiency. "It is not at all uncommon for flocks that are trap nested to average 180 eggs per hen per year. At the same time these flocks not infrequently contain individuals that have a record of 200 to 230 eggs each per year. "The latest figures at hand from the department of agriculture declare that the average farm hen lays less than eighty eggs per year. Sixty eggs per hen per year would probably be overestimating the average uncared for farm hen. At any rate, the great difference between 200 to 230 eggs and sixty or eighty eggs is enough to think about seriously." FOR COMING COLD DAYS. Plan Now to Keep Your Cow Comfortable in Cold Weather. To make a cow blanket that will stay on first take the rope that comes around a bale of binder twine, untwist it and take one strand long enough to tie around the body just be- [From Farm and Fireside.] hind the forelegs. Tie another around the body in front of udder, then make a crupper. Tie another around each fore leg and fasten at top, then a rope around neck. Now sew two gunny sacks together and slip them under these ropes. Take a darning needle and twine and fasten on sides and top. When the sacks are worn out cut the fastenings and slip two more under. A good blanket will last no longer than the cheap one described.—Farm and Fireside. WITH THE HONEY MAKERS. By no means store comb honey in the cellar, as it is sure to sweat and become moldy. Better put it in the attic, as the heat can in nowise harm it, provided, of course, that it isn't hot enough to melt it. The best and most profitable way for the average beekeeper to dispose of unfinished sections is to extract all that will not sell as second grade for as much as extracted honey-will bring and use them for balt sections next year. In preparing the hives for the late flow proceed in precisely the same manner as for the early flow, using the same supers as formerly, only, of course, putting in new section boxes with foundation for comb honey to take the places of the completed sections taken from them. The extracted honey when stored in cans or barrels can be placed in cellars or other convenient repositories and unless bottled early will in all probability granulate as soon as the nights become cold, but this granulation in no sense hurts it, and the heating required to liquefy it for bottling in a large measure prevents further granulation.—Farm Journal. There are many splendid things men can't do because they never try.—Chicago Record-Herald. Making the Little Farm Pay SMALL fruits pay well and afford great pleasure to the family on a little farm. They are ideal products where the place is small and situated near a city, so that they may be sold SMALL fruits pay well and afford great pleasure to the family on a little farm. They are ideal products where the place is small and situated near a city, so that they may be sold to families or hotels and restaurants. Much waste and loss of profit will be avoided, by delivering to private customers. An advantage in raising berries comes from the quick growth as well as from the small acreage required. It takes only a year to get started with small fruits. They can be grown in an orchard and will return a large amount of money in the years when peach and apple trees are coming to maturity. The more this orchard ground is stirred the better, and the cultivation of berries is of actual benefit to the large fruits. /A fair yield of strawberries will bring $200 to $300 an acre, according to market conditions. Raspberries return 30 to 50 per cent less. Small fruit requires a rich, well drained soil. A light, deep loam is best, and an abundance of well rotted barnyard fertilizer should be plowed in. Soggy land is not favorable to any kind of fruits, but nevertheless moisture is needed, and unless rain is plentiful it will pay to carry water or convey it by means of hose. Plant at the proper time in hills or hedges and keep the soil loose with hoe or cultivator. Pinch off all blossoms the first season. Mulch with straw and manure in the fall. Strawberries are hardy and prolific, but skilled attention will pay in extent and quality of production. With a view to successful marketing both early and late varieties should be cultivated. Raspberries are next in importance. There is not so much tedious work connected with growing raspberries as strawberries, and the profits are not quite so large. Set the plants in the spring in rows six feet apart and three feet apart in the rows. This gives plenty of room for cultivating, which must be done thoroughly throughout the growing season. Some experts do not stake raspberries, as is the custom with most growers. When the tips are about two feet high they are pinched back. This causes laterals to be sent out along the stems. In the spring at trimming time these laterals are cut back so as to leave about six inches, and they hold up all the berries they can properly mature. The red varieties do not need the summer pruning, but are pruned back to about eighteen inches in the spring. Currants and gooseberries require almost the same treatment and can be considered together. One or two year old plants are best and should be set in rows four feet apart each way so that they may be cultivated both ways. This method insures thorough and easy cultivation. They should be cultivated frequently so as to have a good soil mulch during the growing season. It is best to grow the plants in bush form and trim out very little, only the surplus and deadwood. It is very important to kill all current worms with some poisonous spray as soon as they appear. If this is neglected the bushes will soon be destroyed. When a producer has established a reputation for having a good quality of fruit and giving full measure there will be no difficulty in securing customers. If the product exceeds the demand of private patrons it is always possible to ship to stores or commission houses. Bear in mind, however, that the selling end of the business is important and try to arrange in advance for private customers or retail merchants to take the whole output. Convenient Chicken Roost. Select two four inch pieces six feet long. Lay them parallel and nail five crosspieces, three feet long and three inches wide, to these. The legs may be made of 2 by 4 stuff the desired length. By means of long spikes secure them to the parallel pieces. Place this in roosting quarters for chickens and they will soon be perching upon it at night—Iowa Homestead. When we plant a tree we are doing what we can to make our planet a more wholesome and happier dwelling place for those who come after us, if not for ourselves.—Oliver Wendell Holmes. Fall Plowing Kills Cutworms. Fall plowing of field areas will often be of service in controlling cutworms that are affecting field crops. Been Jilted, Probably. "Only the brave deserve the fair." "Maybe. But it's the rich who get them."—Boston Transcript. A Difficult Assignment. Not long ago a cub reporter on one of the Chicago dalles was assigned by the city editor to cover a meeting of the board of trustees of a public library. "Bring a story of about four hundred words," said the editor. At a late hour that night, this story not being forthcoming, the youngster was sent for. "How about that story of the board meeting?" asked the editor. "It isn't finished yet. You told me to make 400 words of it. So far I have managed to get only 300." "What did the board do?" "They met, called the roll and adjourned until Tuesday evening."—Lippincott's Magazine. Potter Waaps at Work The family eumenidae, or solitary wasps, contain some curious workers. Some are miners and dig tiny tunnels in the earth; some are carpenters and cut channels in wood and then divide the space into chambers by partitions of mud; some build oval or globellike mud nests on branches or twigs. This home may be partitioned into several tiny rooms, into which are put various small insects captured by the mother wasp and upon which the young wasps feed. No Wonder She Likes Aunt Mary. The small daughter in a family where there are a number of brothers and sisters went on a visit to an aunt where there are no children. She was quite carried off her feet by the attention which she received, and when her mother arrived to take her home she was very unwilling to go. "Why do you want to stay with Aunt Mary?" inquired the mother. "She curls my hair three times a day," replied the child, "and she dresses me to beat the band!"—Kansas City Star. Mapmaking. The earliest maps of which we have any knowledge were made in Egypt. They were wooden tablets, on which were traced land and sea, roads, rivers, highways, etc. Marinus of Tyre, 150 A. D., was the first to attempt a map on scientific principles. The maps in use by the Greeks and Romans were fairly accurate, so far as they went, but those in use during the middle ages were alarmingly inaccurate. It is only within recent years, say since the middle of the last century, that it was possible to make a complete and reliable map of the world, and even yet the best map is subject to slight changes.—New York American. EFFORT. If any misanthrope were to put in my presence the question, "Why were we born?" I should reply, "To make an effort."—Dickens. Price of His Treason Benedict Arnold died in London June 14, 1801. His life after his treason was a most unhappy one. He was avoided by men of honor and on many occasions deliberately insulted. He received a considerable sum of money from the British government and made several unsuccessful attempts to engage in business in British America and the West Indies and finally returned to London, where he died in obscurity. His second son, born in 1780, entered the British army in 1798, served with credit in many parts of the world and three years before his death in 1854 was made a lieutenant general. Reduced Him. A Londoi advertising expert was praising in New York the change that has come over the advertisement. "In advertising, as in other things," he said, "it has been found that honesty pays, and today, throughout the world, the successful advertiser is modest and conservative in his statements. Advertising is no longer mistrusted. Things are no longer as they were in Phatt's day. He weighed over 400 pounds. Well, he saw an ad, in the paper—"Fat folks reduced, $5"—and he answered it." "Did he get any reply?" asked a listener. "Oh, yes; it was just as advertised." "That's good. How much—was he reduced?" "Why, just as the advertisement said—$5." A Madman's Strange Belief. An unfortunate maniac was contained in one of the Scottish lunatic asylums, his particular infirmity being an unshakable belief that every day was Christmas day and that he was dining sumptuously on turkey or roast beef and a good slice of plum pudding. His real diet, however, was of the plainest, he being served twice daily with a dish of oatmeal porridge. After daily describing to his attendants the pleasures he had tasted in his cut of turkey or what not he as regularly added, "Yet, somehow or other, everything that I eat tastes of porridge." This story it was which gave rise to the saying, "As palatable as the madman's porridge." Constantine and Sofia. Sofia, it is curious to recall, might have been Constantinople if Constantine had adhered to the preference he felt at one time for it. Several places were thought of as the site of the new Rome before the unrivaled natural advantages of Byzantium secured the honor, among them Troy and Serdica in Moesia, which we now know as Sofia. "Serdica is my Rome" was an actual saying of Constantine, who was almost certainly born not far off, at Nish, for the claim of York to be his birthplace is generally abandoned. But "Constantinople" would not have meant what it has if it had been fixed anywhere but on the Bosporus.—London. Standard. ee » = . 5 od why Soe By on 8 2 re ee ee, i ay TE Bee .

As the trial of William Sulzer New York’s impeached governor, progresses and the chain of ad. -verse testimony seems to wind it- -self more closely around him there can be but_ the greatest regret within the breast of each and ey- ery one of us that aman who gave such promise of success and ser- vice to humanity is tobe cut down and cast aside in the very heyday of his glory. | Assuming the Governor’s chair only a few months ago, Governor Sulzer has withina short time done great ser- vice to his state. He has proven himself to be a man of great will power and initiative, despite his short comings now being presented to the world in such bold relief. Whatever may be the outcome of the impeachment proceedings against the Governor, it must be said of him that while he occupied the executive cheir of the great state Of New York that he was Governor of not a few of the peo- plo, as were many of his predeces: sors, but of all the people regard- less as to race, color or previous condition of servitude. Our peo- ple who live in New York state, together with others have been the happy recipients of macy generous acts of Goyernor Sulzer. His sign- ing of the Civil Rights bill, the bill giving to the state a Negrc state militia, as well as the bill pro- viding for an appropriation of $25,000 to be used in promoting Semi-centenial Exposition in com memoration of Negro progres: and advancement is now history. The race can but feel greatly in debted to Gov. Sulzer for his ef fort in its behalf. In this dark hour of trial for him, we wish hin to feel thathe has not only ow sympathy and prayers but ou! heart felt desire that whateve may be the outcome of his presen trouble that he may be able to ris above the Tuins therefrom an make of himself a man yet.

WITNESSED WORLD'S SBRIES. _ Awlinn R€ports Deciding Game Dear Mr. Editor: It was my pleasure to witness the deciding game in the greatest World’s series since the beginning of the national sport. Every- thing was at high tension, and ex- citement was on all sides. Six games had been played, resulting in a tie, each side having won three games. Each “spectator was worked up to 4 high pitch, as he knew that all the strategy and inside ball known to the managers would be uncovered in this game. The brass band has played, the tims have practiced, and all is in readiness when the umpire in stentorian voice announces the game, calls out the batteries, cries, “Play ball, batter up.” There was no scoring until the Hast half‘of the ninth inning when C. P. Time, the elongated south- ‘paw, pitching for Manager B. Hind Time, weakened, allowing fourruns. Energy, the first man up, was given his-base on balls. Forward March reached first on a bunt which C. P. Time failed to field. Lets Go was purposely walked, thus filling the bases. It was here that.Cullud People Time took off hissky piece and put everything he had on the ball, striking out Hurry Up and Make Haste. With two outs and two strikes Johnny Onthee Spot hit to right field for four bases, thus winning the gamo and the series, The line up is as follows: Mgr. I. B. Prompt, catcher; B. Thrifty, pitcher; Am Industrious, first base; A. Energy, second base; Forward March, third base; Let’s Go, short stop; Hurry Up, left field; Make Haste, centre field and Johnny Onthee Spot, right field. -_ Manager B. Hind Time, catcher; C. P. Time, pitcher; I Bin Sloth- ful, first base; Wait A. Minute, second base; Delay A- Little, third base; Not Now, short stop; Dilly Dally; left field; I.

Eight years ago we planted $80 catapla trees on one acre, says a correspondent of Farm and Fireside. We now know that the larger profits could have been obtained by planting twice that number. These trees were one-year-old seedlings. The ground was plowed and prepared as carefully as for a corn crop and the young trees carefully cultivated for two years, since which time no time has been spent on them, except a few hours each March in cutting off the lower limbs. The trees are now eight inches in diameter and about twenty four feet in height. There are now on the acre approximately $80 fenceposts, worth on the ground at least 15 cents each, or $15 a year for the use of the land. This is not a bad rental considering the small amount of labor expended. But we know now that it would be a very wasteful process to cut these young trees, because there is almost a second post to each tree above the 1. Photograph by Ohio agricultural experiment station GOOD STAND OF TIMBER. one we could use, and in six years more three posts per tree can be cut without any doubt. We have this plan outlined for the future of the grove. In the next two years we will cut about 300 of the poorer trees and use them. This will leave the 500 best trees to grow to larger size. By the time they are fourteen or fifteen years old they will make three posts to the tree, when there will be 1,500 posts on the acre. Then we will cut 200 trees, making 600 posts, leaving 300 trees to grow to telephone pole size, when they will be worth $1.50 each if there is no advance in price. There would then be a total of $450 worth from the acre. Besides, the thinnings for posts for farm purposes come in conveniently. Eight years ago I made this same estimate at a forestry meeting, and many thought I was too optimistic, but now we have the trees to show for the first part of the estimate, and if they come up to our expectations as well for the next ten years we will be satisfied. We have planted each year since and now have good trees of different species growing on five acres of land on a farm which otherwise would be without any timber supply. 'A name for the farm home is an important asset. It not only lends dignity to the business of farming, but it gives the farmer himself, the boys and girls and all those connected with his household a greater pride and attachment for the place—Kimball's Dairy Farmer. Treating a New Rope. A new rope, particularly if it be sisal, often causes trouble because of its stiffness. If used as a hayfork rope or in any place where it runs through a set of pulleys it is apt to be troublesome until it has been used for some time. This trouble may be avoided by boiling the rope in water. The plan usually used is to coll the rope in a boiler or large soap kettle and cover with water and bring to boiling heat. The rope is then stretched out and allowed to dry, when it will be found to be soft and pliable. Manila rope is usually soft, enough to use without such treatment—J. M. Drew, University of Minnesota.

Halpin of the College of Agriculture of the University of Wisconsin. SUNDAY SCHOOL. Lesson II.—Fourth Quarter, For Oct. 12, 1913. THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES. Text of the Lesson, Num. xii—Memory Verses, 10, 11—Golden Text, 1 Cor. xiii, 4, 5—Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. The first verse of this lesson mentions the three children of this renowned family of Amram and Jochebed of the tribe of Levi of the family of Kohath (Ex. vi, 16-20). They are mentioned again in Num. xxvi, 57-50. Moses was eighty years old, and Aaron was eighty-three when they spake unto Pharaoh that he should let Israel go that they might serve the Lord. Miriam must have been the oldest, for when Moses was three months old she was old enough to watch what might happen to the babe in the ark of bulrushes, to suggest to Pharaoh's daughter a nurse for the babe and to bring her mother as the nurse. The tribe of Levi was chosen by the Lord instead of all the firstborn in Israel, and they were given unto Anon to minister unto him. They were to encamp about it, take it down-carry it from place to place, set it up and have all the care of it. They were not to be numbered with the other tribes. They had no inheritance in the land, like the other tribes, but only cities to live in. The Lord Himself was their inheritance, and they lived upon the tithes of the others and were to give to the Lord the tenth part of the tithes they received (Num. 1, 47-54; 11, 33; 11, 51; 11, 51; viii, 5-26; xviii, 20-26; xxxv, 1-8). The sons of Levi were Gershon and Kohath and Merari, Amram belonging to the Kohathites, whose special charge was the holy vessels, while the others carried the heavier parts, as boards, pillars, sockets, curtains, for which wagons and oxen were provided, while the vessels, properly covered, were borne upon their shoulders (Num. ii, 17, 27-37). Miriam is called a prophetess, and she was honored in leading the praises of the other women (Ex. xv, 20, 21). Aaron was given to Moses to be his spokesman or prophet. While there might be complaining and murmuring among others in Israel, might we not expect to find in this household the love of our Golden Text, that is always kind? But, no, the heart everywhere is deceitful and desperately wicked, and the author of all strife and confusion is ever busy. It is always true that our adversary, the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour, and we are not always careful to resist him (I Pet. v, 8, 9). Zipporah was neither the first nor the last woman spoken against in her own home or by her relatives by marriage. We think of Hannah who suffered much from her adversary in her own home, who provoked her sore to make her fret (I Sam. 1, 6), but as Hannah's resort was the one who hears prayer (Ps. lxv, 2), so may He be the refuge of all tired ones. We might think that respect for Moses, whom, the Lord had so honored, would prevent his brother and sister from speaking against his wife, but they spake even against him also, saying: "Hath the Lord indeed spoken only by Moses? Hath He not spoken also by us?" (verse 2). Happy are those who can leave their affairs to Him to manage and roll off all the burden, casting all the care upon Him, for He careth. In this case at least Moses was very meek (verse 3), and that was evidently the manner of his life. The prophet, like unto Moses, said that we would find rest in bearing the yoke of meekness and low-ness (Matt. x1, 29). The Lord heard their words (verse 2), and it should be a comfort to every child of God that He hears every word spoken against us and sees every thought. One of the best things I know is that He hears those who talk to one another about Him and keeps a book of remembrance for all who even think upon His name (Mal. iii, 16). In this case we read that the Lord spake suddenly. If that is the correct word, the best translation, it may indicate that these two were taken by surprise, perhaps not considering that the Lord was taking notice, Aaron evidently forgetting that less than a year before he had been commissioned to say to Israel, "Come near before the Lord, for He hath heard your murmurings" (Ex. xvI, 6-10). The Lord said, "Come out, ye three" (verse 4), for they were the only ones concerned in this. The three came forth, and the Lord came down in the pillar of cloud and talked with Aaron and Miriam concerning the honor He had put upon Moses and asked why they were not afraid to speak against him (verses 5-9). Compare Deut xxxiv, 7, 10-12, concerning the way the Lord honored Moses. His servant. See in Heb. iii, 5, 6, Moses and Christ spoken of and the house of each, and consider what might happen today to those who do not hesitate to speak against Christ, denying His Deity, His supernatural birth, His resurrection from the dead, His coming again in glory, were God to deal with them as He dealt with Miriam. As Miriam was punished and not Aaron, she must have been the leader in talking against Moses because of his wife. Was it jealousy? Consider Moses' prayer for his sister, "Heal her now, O God, I beech Thee" (verse 13). She was healed, but not 'instantly, as some would have us think is the only way. When is a man most confused?

The Reason. "I wonder why it is," said Bildad, "that so many of these social lights look so like monkeys?" "I fancy," said Cynicus, "that it is because they are such good climbers." —Judge. Lacked Something. "You Germans have no sense of humor," said an American to a German friend. "Try me and see," said the German. "Well," said the American, "you know America is the home of very large things—the highest mountains, the greatest waterfalls"— "Oh, yes, yes, yes," said the German. "And our trees," continued the American, "are so tall that in order to see to the top of them one man looks as far up as he can, and another man begins where the first man leaves off and looks up to the top." "But dat vass no joke; dat vass a lie." Aeroplane Poison. He was a wag and was a spectator at an aeroplane contest. "That's a terrible poison that's been discovered." he remarked amiably to no one in particular. "What's it called?" inquired an elderly gentleman beside him. "Why, aeroplane poison, of course!" came the curt reply. "Is it deadly?" asked the E. G. "I should say so!" jerked out the juvenile wag. "And how much would kill a person?" went on the questioning one. "Oh, one drop!" came the retort. Then that particular group became the less by one—New York Globe. Dogs and Jokes. Animals present their own aspects of humor, says Leonard Larkin in the London Strand, and the evidence is fully sufficient that some of them have a sense of humor of their own. A jackdaw certainly has, and it is a less malicious sort than that quite as certainly possessed by his cousin, the magpie and the raven; it is more human, in a word. The dog's sense of humor seems to grow blunted after puppyhood, or, rather, it changes, being overlaid by a horror of becoming ridiculous. Nothing in creation can stand a joke against itself so badly as a dog; nothing is so wretched as a dog who thinks he is being laughed at. HOME MANNERS The old saying that people never know one another until they dwell under the same roof is a true one, for nothing so severely tests the disposition as constant intercourse and the wear and tear of everyday life. Hence it is more important to strive to be agreeable at home than to acquire manners that will make us brilliant and popular in our circle of associates, though the two are not at all incomparable. 13.

ANDREWS 748 EAST BOLTON STREET FARM ORCHARD AND GARDEN BY F.E.TRIGG REGISTER, ROCKFORD, IA. SORRESPONDENCE SOLICITED [This matter must not be reprinted with out special permission.] A friend who has much success in growing bulbs suggests that, inasmuch as the bulbs have matured early this season, they should be secured and planted as soon as possible. The patch of rape that was sowed last spring is giving a generous return now in pasture for the poultry or hogs, and it will be in commission until the coldest weather comes on. Corn is going to be corn this year, whether the user of it raises enough for his own needs or whether he must buy it. It will pay to feed to best possible advantage—certainly not to shovel it over to the hogs into a mud-hole. Moisture and heat conditions have not been favorable for the production of garden flowers the past summer, but in a measure offsetting this is the fact that the flowering plants have also been remarkably free from the attacks of insect pests. Fish is the more toothsome the sooner it is got into the frying pan after it is taken off the book, while meats that are served in the small town would be vastly improved if they could hang in a refrigerator five or six weeks before being put on the block. It is not too early to begin cleaning up the orchard for winter. No grass should be left around the trunks of the trees where the mice can make their winter quarters; dead limbs and water sprouts should be removed. In short, a general cleanup should be made. Fortunate is the family that has had a garden this season and has taken the palms to preserve as large quantities as possible of fruits and vegetables. The wisdom of having done so will be the more apparent when the cost of supplying the average family with canned stuff is figured up when the coming winter is over. There is now on the market a mouse trap which women somewhat lacking in nerve can set without danger of getting their fingers pinched. Incidentally it might be mentioned that there are some men who will appreciate the improvement noted, for the writer has seen 'em who wouldn't any more dare to set a mouse trap than a rabbit. Before the cold weather sets in and the rats make preparations for their winter quarters it is an excellent idea to put just as many of them out of commission as possible. They are unmitigated pests, and every means of reducing their number to the lowest possible should be made use of. The average rat will consume or spill between $1 and $1.50 worth of grain in a year, and in view of this none of them should be permitted to live. Buttermilk cheese, a method of making which has been discovered by the Wisconsin Agricultural college, is said to possess a nutritive value equal to that of a pound of lean round steak. In this connection attention is also called to the fact—most pertinent in an era of unusually high prices—that two and one-half quarts of skimmilk or buttermilk contain about the same nutrition as a pound of raw steals and cost about one-fourth as much. The housewife who finds it necessary to economize should keep this fact in mind and make use of it. Breeders of dairy cattle will be interested in the following facts in connection with the sales of several herds of Illinois Holsteins, attention to which has been directed by the Illinois College of Agriculture: One hundred and seven pure bred cows without official milk and butter records brought an average price of $288 a head, while 171 cows of no better breeding, but with official records, brought at the same sales an average of $465 per head. The figures presented show that buyers were willing to pay an average of $177 per head more for cows with records of actual performance. There is little question that for a large number of farmers in the corn belt who this year have sustained or are sustaining serious losses from hog cholera the situation has been greatly aggravated by two features—the feeding of too much corn and carelessness in the furnishing of a supply of pure, clean water. We do not mean by this that cholera will not devastate some herds that are given the best, of care in the respects mentioned, but there is no question that anything that lessens the vigor and health of the hog renders it more subject to disease. Stuffing with too much corn and a dirty water supply are the besetting failures of all too many hog raisers. The hogs should be given a new deal along these lines. GROWING THE BULBS. September and the fore part of October are the season in which the bulbs for outdoor bedding and indoor potting purposes should be planted. For the outdoor bed the soil should be rich and mellow, preferably of a sandy consistency. The bulbs should be at a depth varying from two and a half to four inches deep, depending upon the variety. If warm weather prevails the bed should be covered with straw or leaves to keep it from getting too warm. Bulbs that are intended for indoor use should be put in pots at once or during the next five or six weeks, depending upon the time when one wishes to have the plants bloom. A common tomato can makes an excellent pot after the jagged rim of the top is melted off in a bed of coals or gasoline blaze. A light and rather sandy soil is best, and the bulbs should be set about half an inch below the surface. When the bulbs are planted the pots should be placed in a box and covered with two or three inches of soil. It should then be put in a shady place and the bulbs allowed to freeze before being placed in the cellar. Satisfactory flowers may be produced if the bulbs do not freeze, but they are more luxuriant if the bulbs do. This practice is followed by most greenhouses. The time for bringing up the pots depends upon the time when one desires the bulbs to bloom, but in any case the latter should be allowed to form vigorous root systems before being brought to the light. The box should be given two or three good waterings so that the bulbs will be kept moderately moist. The finest bloom will be got if the plants are not exposed to the direct rays of the sun. CIDER VINEGAR. This season, owing to both scab disease and worms, there will be more than the usual amount of apples that will have no use except for hog feed and vinegar. In the making of the latter the following is a standard recipe: Use clean fruit and that in which the sugar has developed. On squeezing the juice from the apples strain into clean barrels, filling them about twothirds and inserting a plug of absorbent cotton or cloth to keep out dirt and files. When the juice has stopped working, the clear portion should be poured or pumped out and strained if necessary and the barrels carefully rinsed with scalding water. The barrels should then be refilled, a couple of gallons of old vinegar and some "mother" being added. The change of the alcohol into vinegar will be hastened if several cakes of compressed yeast are put into each barrel, while if the apples were not ripe and sweet the quality of the vinegar will be much improved if a few pounds of coffee and sugar are added. When the vinegar is made—a process that may require all the way from six months to a year and a half—the barrels should be filled up with vinegar and provided with a tight wooden plug to keep out the air and prevent further chemical change. While vinegar will make in a cellar where the temperature ranges from 40 to 55 degrees, the older will change to vinegar much more rapidly if the temperature is from 60 to 70 degrees F. BEING ONE'S OWN BOSS. A level headed young fellow who was planning to attend college somewhere and was talking with the writer the other day brought out a point that more young men ought to take into account in the fitting of themselves for work in life—namely, that with very few exceptions farming is the only occupation in which a man can be his own boss. In so many of the vocational lines one prepares himself as an underling and hireling for large corporations, with prospects very slim of ever getting hold of any stock of said company. Moreover, the professional lines of business are full to overflowing, and where one makes a definite success financially and in other ways a half dozen find it mighty tough sledding. The observation of our young friend is true, and it should be more generally realized than it is. In the coming years, with inevitable increase in population, the demand for, as well as the price of, the products of the soil is bound to increase, and he is wise who in fitting himself for his work in life takes this fact into account and appreciates, as this young man seems to do, the independence of the man who tills the soils intelligently and who is able to raise the things that those in shop and mine and factory will be compelled to buy. BOUNDS FISHY. A horticulturist, George Snively, living at Sandy Grove, near Harrisburg, W. Va., is said to have succeeded in grafting a tomato stalk on a potato vine and having the plant reproduce itself, a feat that has never before been accomplished. The facts may be as reported in this case, but they sound decidedly fishy, and it would take ocular proof to convince the average man that the tubers from the potato vine on which this tomato stalk had been grafted would ever produce stalks that would bear tomatoes or that the seed from a tomato produced on the inserted tomato vine would ever develop a root system that would produce a murphy. If a potato blossom were cross fertilized with pollen from a tomato blossom a plant might be developed which would produce both tomatoes and tubers, but the chances seem dead against its ever being accomplished by a process of top-grafting. J. E. Jupp BALANCED RATIONS FOR DAIRY COWS BALANCED RATIONS FOR DAIRY COWS In order to economically feed a dairy cow it is always desirable to supply as much of the nutrients required in the roughage part of the rations as possible, says the Kansas Farmer. Alfalfa hay contains relatively much larger amounts of protein than corn silage. Both are very palatable forms of roughage and in combination form a most satisfactory and economical basis for a milk producing ration. For a cow of moderate production giving in the neighborhood of three gallons of milk a day, fifteen pounds of alfalfa hay and all the corn silage the cow will consume, which will ordinarily amount to thirty or thirty-five pounds daily, will supply sufficient digestible nutrient material for the production of this quantity of milk. In order to produce larger quantities of milk if a cow has a capacity for producing more milk, it will be necessary to supply additional nutrients. Additional roughage cannot be consumed, so the extra nutrients required must be supplied in a more concentrated form. It is commonly estimated that about one pound of a properly balanced grain mixture must be supplied for each ad- Nearly one-fourth of the Guernsey cows or herders which have lately made high records of milk or 'butter fat production are owned in Wisconsin, and almost without exception the owners are members of co-operative county breeders' associations which, with the aid of Professor George C. Humphrey of the College of Agriculture of the University of Wisconsin, have been formed in their respective districts. One of the best monthly records was that of Taylor's Cream Cup, owned by C. C. Allen of Kenosha. This cow in one month produced 1.555 pounds of milk which yielded 82.62 pounds of butter fat, or the equivalent of 96.32 pounds of butter diflational four pounds' of milk. For supplying this additional nutrient material in a concentrated form a combination of four parts corn chop, two parts bran and one part cottonseed meal would probably be the most satisfactory ration. One pound of this mixture would supply .12 pound of digestible protein, .52 pound digestible carbohydrate and .5 pound fat. Ten pounds of additional milk would require about four pounds of this mixture, or, in other words, a cow that is capable of producing thirty-five pounds of good average milk can be fed fifteen pounds of alfalfa hay, thirty or thirty-five pounds of corn silage and four pounds of this grain mixture. If the extra grain fed with this roughage ration should be cottonseed meal only, much more digestible protein would be supplied than would be needed for milk production. Since cottonseed meal is more expensive than cornseed or bran, such a ration would necessarily be less economical than the properly balanced ration suggested. How Much Seed Corn to Select. How Much Seed Corn to Select It will require about seventeen ears of corn per acre to plant three kernels per hill in thick rowed corn. If you list, it is the editor's judgment that no more seed than this should be used on average good upland, and the kernels should be dropped as nearly as possible one in a hill and the space should be as equally distributed as possible. Remember, however, that in selecting the corn in the field you go over it rather hurriedly. When winter comes and you look the ears over carefully you will find many that will not suit you. Of those that do suit a number may not grow strong, unless the corn is properly dried and stored. A good rule is to select twice as many ears from good plants in the field as are needed to plant the required number of acres next year. This allows a very close selection to be made during the winter—Kansas Farmer. Hogging Off Corn There is no better way to fatten hogs with profit to the owner than to turn them loose in the cornfield and let them pick the corn themselves. Experimentation has proved and the experience of practical farmers in all parts of the state is that this method is a profitable one. Every one who has tried it agrees, that it is an economical method of fattening pork. The time required to husk and crub the corn is saved. Not only that, but the hogs get the corn when it is fresh and more relished. More pounds of pork can be made from a bushel of corn by "hogging off" than by eating husked corn.—Orange Judd Farmer. Farm Water Supply. A season such as we have just passed through should be a warning to every man handling stock in any considerable numbers to establish a thoroughly reliable water supply, says the Kansas Farmer. A thoroughly dependable water supply is an absolutely essential of every good live stock farm. It would seem that the tendency has been too much in the past to depend upon lick or circumstances in a great many cases to supply water for cattle and other stock. RIGHT SOIL. FOR ALFALFA. Deep Loam Is Best, but Other Kinds Will Produce Crops. Many people make the final mistake of expecting alfalfa to do well on soils that are not fit properly to produce any kind of crop, says Bulletin 96 of the Purdue university (Indiana) station. There is just as much need of care in selecting and preparing soils for alfalfa as for any other crop and probably more because of its deep footing habits and large plant food requirements. Deep, loamy soils with open subsoils are undoubtedly best for alfalfa, but there is plenty of evidence to show that it may be successfully produced on almost any type of soil, from light sandy or gravelly loams and peats or mucks to heavy clays, provided that it is well drained, sweet and properly supplied with organic matter and available plant food. Many soils that at present are not fit for alfalfa culture may be made so by COLLEGE BREWERY Photograph by Oregon Agricultural college. ALPALPA CULTURE IN BOTTLES; EACH CONTAINS ENOUGH TO INOCULATE FOUR ACRES. providing drainage facilities, correcting acidity, adding organic matter or supplying needed plant food, according to the requirements. Good drainage is essential in order that the roots may go deep into the soil. Hardpan must be broken up or avoided altogether. Soils that are sour may be made sweet by thorough drainage and the application of lime. A good supply of decomposable organic matter in the soil helps the bacterial action in making plant food available, facilitates the inoculating process and, together with a good drainage, prevents heaving in the spring. For soils that are out of condition in this respect a good way to supply organic matter if sufficient manure is not available is to raise and plow under a crop of cowpeas or some other green manuring crop before attempting to grow alfalfa. Peat and muck soils may be used for alfalfa if they are well drained and properly supplied with mineral plant food. Potash is nearly always lacking in these soils, and often phosphoric acid and lime must also be supplied. Soils that are subject to flooding are not good for alfalfa. WASTE OF GOOD MATERIAL. Tons of good humus making material are allowed to lie unused on many farms. Much of the unsightly rubbish which mars the appearance of the premises could be changed into valuable plant food by composting. Every farm and especially every truck farm should have a compost heap into which sods, lawn clippings, leaves and other waste matter could be thrown and rotted down. If wet down and forked over occasionally such stuff will soon be turned into fine garden mold.-Farm Journal. --- Fertilizers For Apples. At a meeting of the Massachusetts Horticultural society Wilfred Wheeler recommended this formula as a basis for fertilizing young apple trees: Six pounds of slag, two pounds of potash (low grade sulphate), one pound nitrate of soda. An application of a pound of this mixture per tree per year of tree's age will keep it growing in a healthy state. FOR THE POULTRY BEGINNER. Determine the schedule and ration for feeding the chicks.
