Good form Ennanement Etiquette. An engaged girl should write to her Personal friends to tell them the news, while her mother writes to older rela. tives stat frends. Letters ut congratulation in answer to these shoul be written as soun as possible Young girts do not write to tg! men friends to congratulate them un an engagéinent. ‘They either congratu- late them personally or not at all. It fs considered extremely bad form for enguged couples to be too demon- strative in public. ‘They should try to be as natural and “unaffected as pos- sible, so as to xvold causing embar- rassment to others. ‘The engagement ring should always be worn once it bas been placed in position. It is useful as a friendly warning to any unwary and oversus- ceptible admirers. a Those who invite engaged couples to their houses should make a point of ‘sending them down to dinner together and of doing all in their power to sow that they recognize and approve of the engagement. A girl may dance practically as of- ten as she pleases with her fiatice, al- though, of course, she will do well not to forget entirely all her old friends in this respect. It fs the girl's privilege to ask any friends she likes to act as her brides- mafds, but it is an understood thing that some relative of the bridegroom shall be among the number. Wriends of a bridegroom who are un- acquainted with the bride's family send their wedding presents to him, and he forwards them to the bride's mother, so that they may be on view with the otber presents on the wed- ding day. Etiquette Notes. If you eeturn to live in a neighbor- hood again after a long absence call on all your friends without waiting for them to call on you first, If you are inviting friends who have visitors staying with them to your house it is usual to include the visitors in the invitation except in the case of a dinner, when you need not’ neces- sarily doso. It is not necessary to call on them first, as they are only asked out of compliment to their hostess. ‘If at a dinner party there js one ex- tra, {ndy the hostess generally goes in by herself, following bebind tho last couple. A ‘hostess should always allow a visitor to enter the carriage before her when going for a drive. When an engagement {s announced write your congratulations or give them in person to the prospective bride and bridegroom as soon as possible. When te a Street Cars ‘Upon entering a strect car those who know how .to behave will take a seat quietly, without trying to attract at- teution or In any manuer making themscives conspicuous. Names should nob be mentioned; gossip should be strictly voided; pleasant acknowl- edgment of smail courtesies, such as a move to permit of passing and all those stoall things that in themselves seem of no importance, but in the ag- gregate speak loudly of the perfection of good breeding or the lack of it, as the case may be. Inquisitive curiosity, talking over private affairs, making unpleasant re- marks within hearing of those talked about—these all show the observer that politeness, which is etiquette, Is unknown in that quarter. Entering the Motor. If a gentleman is bis own chauffeur he may get in, offer bis Land to the lady who accompanies him and help her into the car, wrapping ber with the lup robe, etc., before taking his own seat. Different cases require different methods of mecting circumstances, and it is not well bred to haggle over such small things. Accept whatever is done without comment and be pleasant over any little mishap that may seem differ- ant. 4 After Dinner Coffee. ‘At a family meat the after dinuer coffee may be served before leaving the table, but when guests are pres- ent it is customary to have the coffee passed on a tray after the ladies have returned to the drawing room. This 18 done, as 2 general rufe, in most fam- flfes. ‘he coffee fs 1n small cups, ‘with coffee spoons laid on the saucers. ‘A sugar bowl and tongs accompany the service. Moderate Praise. It is quite right to praise where “praise is due, But don't overdo it, 23 the man did who, when praising a Preacher for the blessings received through his ministrations, said, “Be- fore you came to this place we cared for neither God nor the devil, but through listening to your splendid preaching we have learned to love them both.” Sianing One’s Name. ‘The prefix should not be signed with one's name unless the person to whom one writes does not know whether she be married or single. If the writer is married she should sign her Christian and surname and below her signature or in the lower left hand corner of, the sheet write her husband$ name, with the prefix “Mrs.” _ SHAPELY SHOULDERS.

Cookery Points Cabbace For Salads. | There ure so many ways of using cold boiled cabbage, for warming up ia some way tnt 4¢ fo not often enough thought of as salad material. But cold «cabbage with a Freach dressing makes Ja good salad, and the coarse outer }green leaves of new cabbage. which Would not be good in the uncooked salad, can be advantageously used in this way. Tt may be shredded and [used with beets and other cocked veg- etables with a cooked dressing as a salad, The soft creamy dressings are favor- ed with cabbage salad, “but French dressing with cream fs of all the most | quickly put together and comparative- ly little known. ‘To make this put the seasonings of salt and pepper with the oll, add the cream in about equal quan- titles*and then the vinegar, drop by drop, stirring rapidly. This is a Uttle quicker method than dropping the ‘cream drop by drop into French dress- ing, and if carefully done the cream will not curdle. It is delicious and thicker than Vinegar and cream sim- ply. Prettier and more elaborate salads can be made with cabbage than those who regard this as a vulgar vegetable imagine. It may be mixed with dice of celery and then garnished with either minced boiled beef or grated car- Tot, or both, these being put on it so as to form a cross or in stripes, Shredded green peppers added to cabbage make it seem a little more ele- gant as a salad, and a teaspoonful of freshly grated horseradish sprinkled thoroughly through shredded cabbage before a cream dressing is added makes ft a most excellent spring salad. The bacon dressings are homely, but bits of cold bacon scattered through the salad may be highly acceptable. For compound salads, which are salr ads made of Uttle heaps or molds of alfferent colors—green, red, yellow, white or any shade preferable—the cab- bage, scalded and made creamy lool ing, then crisped, is serviceable.

For a meat ‘substitute, rice cooked in this way cannot be excelled. It is also a great time and fuel saver. Into buttered casserole put one-half cupful washed rice, add one-half cupful grat- ed cheese, five small onions sliced thinly, one large cupful of canndd to- matoes, two tablespoonfuls butter, two tablespoonfuls salt, one-eighth teaspoonful pepper. one cupful bot wa- ter and, lastly, two tablespoonfuls of minged pickles or olives.

When the spaghetti has been drained add to it one tablespoonful butter, 1 cupful of milk in which has been stirred a table spoonful of flour. mustard, salt and Pepper. Stir until it boils, then allow to simmer a few minutes and then stir in tomato sauce that has been made with strained tomatoes In which 2 bit of onion has been cooked. Serve with the dish hot. *: Bssbetitne: Cee Wthtnned Crea: Put about two quarts of fresh butter- milk into a close muslin bag, with n pinch of salt. Hang {t up, with a ba- sin under ft, and leave for twenty-four hours to let the water drip out. Torn the curds on to a plate, sweeten to taste, add a few drops of vanilla es- sence or-other flavoring and whip up. Economy In Coffee Making. Save the coffee grounds, boil them up in fresh water and strain. Boil the liquid and use It Instead of water when making fresh coffee. This is done in France and improves the cof- fee, besides being very economical, as less coffee is needed. Foxy Fox. | Mrs. Fox-Great news, Jobn. Our ‘son 1s engazed to Miss Golder. Fos— “What!

Purdue university recently issued a very interesting bulletin on fertilizers: The subject of fertilizers naturally falls under three heads—barnyard manures, green manures (growing crops turned under) and chemical fertilizers. Barnyard manure is the cheapest and best source of plant food. It not only adds fertility to the soil, but through its decaying organic matter it improves the mechanical condition and moisture holding capacity of the soil and stimulates the growth of soil bacteria. Fresh manure may be turned under with great benefit to a clay soil. In the process of decay the soil will be mellowed. An application of fifteen to twenty-five tons per acre will be none too heavy. It should be covered with a rather shallow furrow on a heavy soil, for if covered deeply the air will be excluded and decay delayed. On a light or sandy soil possibly not, more than ten to fifteen tons of fresh ma- A GOOD FERTILIZER SPREADER nure should be applied at one time to avoid any rapid drying out of the soil and consequent wilting of the plants. and consequent "firing" of the plants. Manure is not a well balanced fertilizer—that is, it does not contain in the most desirable proportions the three fundamental elements of plant nutrition—namely, nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. All plants must have the proper amount of each of the food elements in order to attain their maximum productivity. If one element be deficient, no matter how abundantly the other elements may be represented, the plant will be limited in its development in proportion to the deficiency of this element, other things being equal. A ton of average farm manure contains about ten pounds of nitrogen, five pounds of phosphoric acid and ten pounds of potash. It is plain, therefore, that manure is lacking in phosphorus. What is still more significant, the soils of Indiana (clay and loam) are also generally low in this element. Growers, then, who have enriched their lands with manure with results not up to their expectations should apply 200 to 600 pounds of acid phosphate per acre in conjunction with the manure. What to Feed at Calving Time. Cows that are due to freshen this spring should be given from six to eight weeks of rest before calving. It is quite important that a cow be given a rest at this time, especially so if she has not been well fed during the winter. Some dairymen neglect to keep their cows in good condition during the winter, and as a result the calves are not in the best of condition at birth, and the cows do not give as large a milk flow as they would give had they been properly fed. Silage is an excellent feed to be given a cow during the resting period. Along with silage should be fed some feeds rich in protein, such as alfalfa or clover hay, with a small amount of grain. The cow needs the protein to help build up the body of the calf, as well as to keep her own body in good condition. A succulent feed like silage will aid in keeping the cow in better condition. Silage in itself is not a very substantial feed, but when fed with a little grain and alfalfa or clover hay makes a most excellent part of a ration.-J. M. Fuller, Associate Professor Dairy Husbandry, State College, South Dakota. FARM GARDEN POINTERS. The hardy vegetable can be sown as soon as the ground is ready. Important garden crops for early planting are potatoes and strawberries. Always use fresh horse manure in the hotbed and well rotted manure in the soil. Onions should be sown at the earliest moment the ground can be got in good condition. An orchard sprayed for the San Jose scale has a much healthier and better appearance than one not so treated. Keep an eye on the hotbed when the sun shines brightly. Too much heat will make the plants weak and spindly. Not all soils are adapted to the raspberry. In fact, it is nearly as peculiar in regard to soil adaptation as the potato. Plant a piece of old pasture to good timber trees for the benefit of the boy. It will become the best part of the farm. The best time to kill the plant lice infesting orchard trees and shrubbery is just before the buds open in the spring. A. Photo by American Press Association. MJSS ROSALIE JONES. The great suffrage parade in Washington can have among its ranks of distinguished and interesting women none who has made a greater impression on the public than has Miss Rosalie Jones of New York. General Rosalie's famous hike to Washington, in which she and her associates displayed pluck and endurance that won the reluctant admiration of even the most determined of the antisuffragists, will not soon be forgotten. With her little army she has made the march from New York to Albany twice, while the march from New York to Washington was made once. The novel thing about Miss Jones' enthusiasm for woman's suffrage is that her mother is an equally well known and ardent antisuffragist. If she cared for society Miss Jones might be a leader in the New York and Newport smart set, for her family is both wealthy and distinguished. Miss Jones, however, has been quoted as saying that fashionable society bores her. The family has a town house in New York, but since the death of her father, which occurred recently, she spends most of her time with her mother at their country place on Long Island. Personally Miss Jones is a versatile and talented young woman. She admits having several hobbies. One of them is the collection of book plates. She is an artist of some skill and a clever amateur bookbinder. Fond of books, history is of especial interest to her. In the fall, when the New York legislature, which is to vote for the suffrage amendment in 1915, is to be elected, Miss Jones expects to again take an active part in suffrage work, working for the election of candidates favorable to the cause. WINDOW BOXES. Timely and Attractive Finishes to Windows and Porches. Flower boxes make attractive additions to the decoration of porches, windows, arbors, etc. The demand for these has brought about a great variety. Study any one type of these numerous flower boxes and it will be found to be thoroughly practical and within the reach of the modest pocketbook. A few sturdy geranium plants for the upright bloomers and the hardy, much enduring variegated vincas, the ivy leafed geranium or trailing pelargonium and glossy green periwinkles and ivies may form the nucleus of the simplest or the most elaborate flower box. Other bloomers and trailers may be added as expert knowledge of requirements and indifference to cost may allow, but for general use, under unfavorable conditions, there are few plants more acceptable than the hardy varieties mentioned for continuing year after year and serving for inside decoration when freezing weather checks their growth and beauty out of doors. Consider the fact that fine varieties of sturdy, free blooming geraniums and any of the different varieties of trailers mentioned may be bought for 10 cents each or probably less by the dozen and that very few will be required to fill a long box, as they all grow rapidly in rich soil and will soon begin to crowd their space. Then consider the fact that any of these plants may be propagated with amazing rapidity by simply nipping off the overgrowth of geranium branches and the trailers that are reaching far beyond their prescribed limits and tucking them beneath the old plants in the moist, rich soil. As the slips and cuttings are propagated in the closely crowded boxes other boxes may be made ready to receive them when well rooted and, with one or two of the large plants that are beginning to crowd, may give the newly started box the appearance of having been long established. Safety Shoe Lace Knots. You need never fall downstairs over a trailing shoe lace if you use "Egyptian" knots. Make a tie and begin the bow in the ordinary way, but before you pull down the loops to tighten the finished knot take one loop and one end and pass them through the opening between the flat tie and the not yet tightened bow. Then draw the loops out and the bow will close down securely. C HANDSOME AFTERNOON GOWN. The wearing of roman stripes pleases the smart women. The demand for something different inspires the designers to combine materials of every variety. Several seasons have passed since striped silks have occupied a prominent position among the fashions, but this year finds them reinstated. The new weaves show a wonderful blending of colors, some designs enphasizing the brilliant reds, blues, yellows and greens, while others combine the softer, darker tones. The stripes vary in width from narrow pin stripes to those measuring two inches in diameter. These handsome silks are allied with plain colors, and costumes of exceptional smartness are evolved from this combination. The gown pictured here was of plain and striped silk in an effective and modish combination. MOTHERS' DAY. Its Origin Due to a Devoted Daughter's Thoughtfulness. Mothers' day will be celebrated on May 10. It has come to be a national affair, and its origin is said to have been as follows: In the spring of 1908 this subject was brought to the attention of a couple of evangelists while engaged in the direction of an evangelistic campaign in Philadelphia. The suggestion was due to Miss Anna Jarvis of Philadelphia, who felt led to set apart a day in honor of her own mother. Following the evangelistic campaign in Philadelphia, the clergymen conducted a meeting in Norfolk, Va., and there on the second Sunday in May was observed the first Mothers' day. At the same time a leaflet of information and a letter of suggestion were sent to all the Presbyterian pastors by the general assembly's committee on evangelistic work. This same custom was observed for the three following years, and it was suggested that the second Sunday in May be observed for the service. It was sought to prompt the observance of this day by the proclamation by the governors and by suggestions on the part of various fraternal organizations. It was suggested that in connection with the observance of the day by churches or Sunday schools and by individuals a white carnation be worn. Each season the movement increases in popularity. Pointers About Veils Many of the new veils are plain or have small designs over the face only. For a veil which may be thrown back the border effects are good. Some veils have a border and a small set motif over the surface. Shadow and dotted effects are once more being worn. Silk thread designs appear in graceful figures-butterfiles, orchids and simpler motifs-on a fine mesh. Fashion demands that the veil must harmonize with the hat, as does the hat with the costume, not only in color, but in its effect. Thus not one but many veils are necessary, so that one may be smartly and properly veiled for all daytime occasions in the open. High Coiffure Combs. The high hairdressing has not become very general yet, but in a few months every one will wear this dignified style. In the meantime every woman whose aim it is to keep in touch with the new fashions when they first appear should become possessed of as many of the high, old fashioned tortoiseshell combs as she can. These picturesque combs can often be picked up quite cheaply at old curiosity shops, but they must be bought quickly, for they will soon go up in price. All kinds will be worn, but the high Spanish comb is likely to be the greatest favorite. A Wee Scotch Laodie With Pipes and Kilts A Surely a smart and handsome boy this in the Scotch kilts and with the pipes to his lips. Whether he is evolving music or not, the picture does not tell. Pictures do not give forth sound or we should know for sure. At any rate, he is making a brave show, this little Scotch laddle. Born in this country, he is of pure Scotch descent, although he never saw the rugged hills and clear lakes of the land of his father's birth. Proud he is of his ancestry and still more proud to be a citizen of the land of the free and perhaps a future president. Who knows? We have had several presidents of Scotch parentage, and we doubtless may have more. It is fine to be proud of your descent, but it is also a much grander thing to be in line for the presidency of the greatest of all nations—the United States of America. Children's Songs In Scotland. The kiddies of the land of heather like verse as well as the children of other countries, and they have many nice little rimes which correspond to those used in our own land. In fact, it is quite clear that some we use as our own are plagiarized straight from Scotland—such as: Rain, rain, go away. The rain has a reputation for being somewhat of a spoil sport in bonny Scotland, and many of the rimes, such as the above, hold a very clear wish on the part of the children that the rain man keep his distance. Coming down as they have through the centuries, it is scarce to be wondered at that many of the verses have become simply doggerel without a vestige of meaning to our modern ears—for instance, the following: Rain, rain, rattle stones, Dinna rain on me. But rain on John O'Groat's house, Far across the sea. When the snow flies the children use this little rime: The men of the east Are pykling their geese And sending their feathers here away. When a high wind sweeps over the heather they sing: Arthur o'Bower has broken his bands, And he's come roaring over the lands. The king of Scots wi' a' his power Canna turn Arthur o' Bower. The Bazaar on Wheels. A pushcart fair is an amusing outdoor entertainment that will be novel to most. You can hire the carts for a small sum, and you get rid of the work of trimming booths. Those who have charge of the carts should wear the costumes of different peoples - Italians, Germans, negroes, Greeks or any others that fancy may select. Articles for sale are arranged on the carts and sold from them as from ordinary booths. There are pushcarts for fancy articles, others for household things, still others for candy, for toys and for lemonade and cake, ice cream or tea. If you can get a band and have pretzels and "sausages" sold from the German cart so much the better. The "sausages" are for the grab bag—small articles rolled in long folds of brown crape paper tied with fine string at each end. A pushcart supper will furnish much amusement. Cups and saucers, plates, and so on, are bargained for at the first cart, and the supper itself is gathered piecemeal from the display on the various carts. Youth's Companion. Buried Treasure. 1.

In # few more days, the door: of our schvols and culleges will be elosed- ‘Then, an army of em- ployment seekers, temporaryper- haps for the most part, will be upon thestreets seeking remuner- ative engagements of one kind and another. Owing to the great advancement made within the past few years of our people in the business world, not a few of these boys and girls will seek and find) employment among their own people. This is indeed a happy condition ana presages a wonderful future fer our peogle. To be employed by anyone gives satisfaction. To be employed however by one of our own race who may be conducting an honest, progressive and profit paying business gives an inspi-: ration and satisfaction to all lovers of the race, which is pe- euliady extraordinary. Within the next few days our business men will have excellent oppertu- nity to empioy first class and in- telligont help for their various business. Whenever and wher- ever anopening is possible, they should encourage and show ap- preciation to our boys and girls who are fitting themselves for the duties of life, by giving these young people work. Ihey need work, und they must have work. Loafing will be against them. It will emaciate their training nnd okill, Let cach business man among us sce’to it that he will seek to find employment for as many of these worthy young. people as he possibly can. 7 . The third annual athletic mect of the public and private school children of the city, under the auspices of the Negro Business aud Professional Men Associztion is now history — As conductedon last Friday at the baseball park, themeet wasa success in every way, Due toa large extent to the experrence gained in con- ducting the two previous meets, the management had matters so well in hand that everything seemed to have worked with clock like precision, In keeping with their promise to see to it that there would be no repetition of any unpieasant or disagreeable situatipn, the fields were kept clear of all spectators, during the entire meet. Persons who were paid admissions had every oppor- tunity to see every contest from start to finish Added to the superb management of the meet, was the congentality and sports- manship of the large crowd pre- sent. Every, one, young and old, seemed to have been -out for a day of pleasure and when the band which was present, struck its popular airs, almost the entire park joined inthe melodies. This is as it should be and shows that our people here are learning more and more what a great emphasis these annual races are placing upon-wholesome amuse- ments as indulged in by our chil. dren. During the meet, every: thing and everyone seemed hap: py. Nota discordant note was sounded. The cry of “‘cheat” was conspicuous by its absence; thanks to the non-presence of the grouchers and notoriety seek- ers of previous years., These annual meets seemed to have be- come a fixity among us. They ought tobe and as long’as the people show by their generous patronage that they sanction the holding of such meets, they must be. From present indications, we have every reason to believe that’ the meet of next year and of succeeding years, each in it: turn, will be an improvement upon the preceeding one.

AMONG THE MASONS MASONS JP'ROMOTE CHARACTER BUILDING FET ee ee a ag ka a ge ee jmiah Neterer of Bellingham in bi annual address as Grand Master atche fifty-fourth sessionof the Grand Lodge of Washington ir |Spokane, that each attract the 1 confidenee of 2 boy and direct hin into ways ofright. 1t isexpectec that most of the 175 lodges in th state of Washington with 16,50( menibers enrolled, will adopt the plan before the year is ended. “LE believe that if such a move: ment is launched by the Masons in the jurisdiction,” Judge Neterer said, ‘intense would be the inter- est and great: would be the result and pleasure in much constructive work in real character building. “There exists a necessity for wholesome influence and fraternal co-operation in behalf of boys. 'The course of conduct and treat- ment of many boys at home and by the public should be changed. Worthy examples should be pre- sented and wholesome sentiment created. You can initiatea plan which will properly direct and conserve the energy and ambition of the boy. = “The highest authorities are agreed that nothing in the world so shapes a boy’s soul and charac- ter as quiet talks with grown men about things they live for and amidst. In this way the boy is aroused to think and do the very best there is in him. ; ““Make a companion of some boy, Lea big brother to him and have him visit you; go to his home after the labor of the day hus closed and show him he is a part of the world and that somicone is interested in his welfare: direct his mind in a wholesome cuurse; place designs for his improvement upon the trestle-board of lifeand thus bring his.acts within the ex- tended points of the compass, and yourself nearer the throne of the eternal God.”” “No one is independent. All are dependent on some others, The sense of dependence should make us brethren?” Don't call for your demit, and dont xllew’ yourself to be sus pended tor non-payment of dues Tuere is work for you to do uw Masotey, aud you will be the bet- ter for it. “The man who docs nothing for Masonry misses two thirds of the enjoyment of membership. the more you do the fuller will be your enjoyment.” Aboat the most valuable char- acteristic that the oflicer of » Ma- sonic Lodge can have, is a capaci- y for good hard work. Of cours the ideal oflicer possesses many other attributes. He ought to be of genial and gracious presence, of eloquent tongue, of retentive memory, of historic knowledge. Yet if he have all these things and lack the genius for real labor ne. is as a voice crying in the wilder- ness. * Masonry has donea grand work for humanity. And it will con- tinue to iabor for men’s uplift in all the years to come. Themission of Masonry inthese modern times is to promote broth- erhood and good will umong men. Truth is the watchword of Ma- sonry. Let us make it her strong, hold and fortify it, by God’s help with the truth that is within us Elevate the staudard of “Masonry in our communities. Investigate carefully the character of those who seek to cross the threshold, and do it without fear or favor, and solely for thegood of the fra- 'ternity. Let the world sce that to be'a Mason is to be a iman of honorable life, with high ideals and pure aspirations. Let us do our duty through life as honeet men, maintain our post, and. as the Bard of Avon says, ‘‘die with the harness on your back.” Tennille, Ga., May 5th, 1914- On Friday afternoon, May 1st, Imperial Chapter No. 181, O.

In Memoriam In sad but loving memory of our loved one, ANNA AMELIA MAXWELL, Who departed this life May 15th, 1913. You are gone, but we love you the same: The vacancy in our home and hearts, Can never again be filled. But thou art gone to rest, And this shall be our prayer, That when our journey ceases, Thy glory we will share. Her loving father and mother, Rev. Hosea and Mrs. Julia Maxwell, Brother and sister-in law. Brother and sister-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Randolph L. Maxwell. Who departed this life May 13th, 1913. No one knows how much we miss you, You were so good. so kind, and true, God alone for He knows best, Called you to a home of rest. T'was a bitter grief a shock severe. To part with you whom I love so dear, Time was too short to say good bye, To the one I love so, dear, We miss your coming footsteps, We miss your loving voice; Home is not what it use to be Since you are not there, You are gone, but not forgotten, Never shall our memory fade, Sweetest thoughts shall ever linger, 'Round the grave where you are laid, The Lord said you have finished, Come up higher Carrie dear, You have a crown in heaven, For the pains you suffer here. Those who saw you in your casket, Pure and white and oh so fair, Thought you were the bride of heaven, As you lay so silent there. From your loving husband, A. H. Heyward, Mrs. M. C. Gadsden, Mrs. C. B. Barnwell, Miss Romasena Heyward, Miss Ophelia Heyward, Daughters One year ago you passed away, and little did we think when we looked into your face that afternoon that you were going to leave us that night. Yet I believe from the heart to heart talk we had, you knew you could not be long here. Safely safely gathered in, Far from sorrow, far from sin, No more griefs or fears, No more sadness no more tears, For the life so kind and Ioving Now hath passed from earthly care; God Himself the soul will keep, Giving His beloved sleep. Safely, safely gathered in, Passed beyond grief and pain, Death for thee is truest gain, For our loss we may not weep, Nor our loved ones long to keep From the home of rest and peace, Where all sin and sorrow cease. Safely, safely gathered in, Far from sorrow tar from sin; God has sayed from weary strife, The life of love and sacrifice; Now she waits for us above, Resting in the Savior's love, Jesus grant that we may meet, There adorning at thy feet. Mrs. Rachel M oore.

Purdue university recently issues very interesting bulletin on fertilizer The subject of fertilizers natural falls under three heads—barnyard manures, green manures (growing crop turned under) and chemical fertilizer Barnyard manure is the cheapest and best source of plant food. It not on adds fertility to the soil, but thru its decaying organic matter it improves the mechanical condition and moist-holding capacity of the soil and stimulates the growth of soil bacteria. Farm manure may be turned under a great benefit to a clay soil. In a process of decay the soil will be allowed. An application of fifteen twenty-five tons per acre will be no too heavy. It should be covered a rather shallow furrow on a he soil, for if covered deeply the air be excluded and decay delayed.

FARM GARDEN THE TROUBLESOME POTATO. Old potato growers agree that the market for this stable crop is one of the most unstable, and consequently one of the most difficult to forecast, among the leading crops. Potatoes are a universal food. They can be grown almost anywhere. The crop is relatively of quick growth, but the serious factor is the inability to preserve the surplus of a bountiful year until the time of shortage when the crop is poor. Consequently any considerable increase in price stimulates increased production, and, with favorable conditions, a surplus results and prices often drop so low as to offer no possibility of profit. There is no serious need of importing potatoes to this country, since a year of favorable prices and a good growing season are immediately followed by a surplus crop. The danger of importing new and serious diseases is sufficient justification for the secretary of agriculture to maintain his careful quarantine against foreign stock. The department has also cautioned potato growers against using secondhand potato sacks which may have contained British or European potatoes, since these sacks are likely to conceal the germs of a serious disease. Country Gentleman. ENORMOUS GRAIN YIELDS. What French Agriculturists Are Doing to Increase the Crops. French agriculturists are paying a great deal of attention at present to possible methods of cultivation of grain crops to increase the yield. Instances have already been worked out where twenty seeds of grain yielded an increase of over 700,000 within a period of one year. The principle is simple. It consists in preparing the seed bed in widely spaced lines on yellow land. At the end of two months the tufts springing from each grain are divided and replanted. Finally earth is hoed up about the new plants in such a manner as to provoke growth from all points brought into intimate contact with the soil. Each of these numerous shoots bears an ear. In reality it is a combination of "slipping," transplanting and pruning. The methods were practiced by the Chinese centuries ago, and the principle was worked out experimentally in England as early as 1776. An Algerian colonist has been planting wheat and oats in the same fields for five years without an application of manure. He makes his furrows thirty-six inches apart and plants the seeds therein at a distance of twenty inches from each other. He harrows constantly. During the five years he has averaged 1,800 pounds of oats per acre and 1,600 pounds of wheat while a neighbor's yield under ordinary practice has been a scant 800 pounds of oats and 500 of wheat. Uses For Piano Box. A piano box may be profitably used for several purposes. By putting the slanting portion of the top on hinges, so that it can be lifted, it may be used for a corn or oat bin. This is placed in the hallway of the barn on blocks so that it will not rest on the floor and become a harbor for mice and rats. Covered with good roofing paper that will turn water, the piano box may be used for a coal bin. If it is set with the opening toward the south the snow THE BOX WITH MANY USES. or rain from the north or east will not beat into the box when the lid is lifted. The box has also been found useful as a dog house when covered to keep out wind and rain. The small sow with young pigs can find here a good shelter from the storms. The top may be hinged in order to put in straw and take out the old bed. A small door in the end will admit the sow and pigs. By putting one or two small windows in the plano box it can be used for a chicken house, in which a dozen chickens can be kept very comfortably. One can fix a few roosts and several nests in the box. To Tell Fertile Eggs. The simplest, easiest and surest way of testing hatching eggs for fertility is to set them in the incubator or under a hen and allow them to incubate for seven days, says a contributor to the Farm and Fireside. Then remove the hen or take the tray out of the incubator and allow the eggs to cool for ten minutes. Then hold each egg to the check. The warm eggs are the fertile eggs and the cold eggs are those that have no chicks in them. Eggs that are only slightly warm have a very weak germ. The longer the eggs are incubated the easier it is to pick out eggs that will hatch. INSURANCE GEOGRA- When is a man most confused When hemisses his train. When are the people most unsafe?

"The largest white polar bear I ever saw," said an old whaler and hunter, "was shot in November, 1885, about 150 miles northeast of Point Barrow, Alaska. It measured twelve feet two inches from tip of tail to nose, six feet three inches in girth, fifteen inches across from ear to ear and possessed a seven inch skull, while the track made by the huge beast covered eleven inches in length. An idea of the size of this monster can be gained when it is known their average length is only about eight or nine feet." As It Was Revealed Dr. Hale declared once that he had had a special revelation. He was down in Maine with an agreeable company of fishermen, and he must needs leave the trout brook in order to get to Boston in time to prepare his sermon. As he thought of the old trout rod and the new sermon, the "revelation" suddenly came to him something like this: "It is far better to preach a good old sermon than a poor new one. Edward Everett Hale, stay where you are and go a-fishing!"—Boston Cooking School Magazine. Arranging Matters "Here is a map of the route we shall take." "Did you make two of them?" "No. What for?" "So papa will be able to overtake us and forgive us." - Houston Post. THE REAL WORKER The man or woman who does work worth doing is the man or woman who lives, breathes and sleeps that work; with whom it is ever present in his or her soul; whose ambition is to do it well and feel rewarded by the thought of having done it well. That man, that woman, puts the whole country under an obligation.—John Ruskin. Proceso. "My wife knew nothing of house keeping to begin with, but she's learning fast." "That's encouraging." "Oh, she's a bright little woman, if I do say it. It has taken only two cooks to teach her to keep away from the kitchen, and I suppose that's at least half the battle."-Puck. Seven dollars a bushel for clover seed might to be enough to make the landlord, his tenant, and the very farm itself smile. Yes, and later on horses, cattle, sheep and hogs will smile as they browse the pasture or consume the hay that is "good for what ails 'em." A prize Jersey bull valued at thousands of dollars, owned by a well known breeder at Sldnaw, Mich, is kept in a doole and civilized frame of mind by being hitched to a five foot snow plow and set to the job of cleaning the walks of his home town after every considerable fall of snow. Jauba's Emanon, for that is his name, seems to enjoy the job, and the folks of the town are saved the job of shoveling their walks. Wisconsin now has in operation a law that ought to be in force in every state in the Union. It provides that upon the payment of $5 any farmer may have the soils of his farm examined chemically by the state college department of soils. Of course the individual farmer is supposed to keep close tab on the crops as they grow on different soils and to select and grow crops that will be best suited to different soils. Two-thirds of the bad eggs on the markets of the country are said to get started on their downward way before they leave the farm as a result of carelessness in gathering and handling. Here would seem to be a reform that egg producers ought to take hold of first hand. It isn't necessary to elect Brother So-and-so to the legislature to give this reform a boost, for every farmer and poultry keeper is a law unto himself. A few days ago the awards were made in the Minnesota boys and girls' acre yield corn growing contest. Lynn Harrison of Excelsior, Minn., won first prize of $200, while Miss Grace Rytter of Stewartville, Minn., showed a lively pair of heels to a good many lads and won a prize of $50. These two young people got profit, training and instruction from growing these prize acres of corn, and life will mean the more to them because of their achievement. A Missouri paper recently closed an interesting contest. A year ago it offered four substantial prizes to the farmers' wives among its list of subscribers who would at the end of the year make the best showing in the way of cash returns from the sale of butter and milk, poultry and eggs. The winner of the first prize sold $1,497 worth of these products, while the three other winners sold respectively $1,023, $1,019 and $15 worth of goods. Milk and its products were the chief sources of income. The members of the Menominee (Mch.) Commercial club certainly showed a becoming recognition of the vital connection between the dairy business and community prosperity when they placed a certain sum in the banks of their home towns to be loaned to the farmers of the neighborhood for the sole purpose of buying dairy cows and registered bulls. If these loans are made to farmers who understand the care of dairy cows and the rearing of calves the investment should be of a type that will benefit everybody concerned. The writer is of the opinion that in not a few instances lack of thriftiness with house plants during the winter months is due to the simple fact that they do not get the water they need for their proper development. A small amount of water may moisten the upper soil, yet fail to each the lower two-thirds of the pot. A feature that aggravates the condition noted is the extreme dryness of the air in so many living rooms. This may be largely overcome by keeping a dish with water in it on the heater. To offset the drawback first mentioned—insufficient watering—it is well to set the flower pots in shallow dishes of water and let them "drink up" as much water as the soil will hold. Chemical analyses lately made at the North Dakota experiment station show that a bushel of flax takes as much fertility from the soil as two bushels of wheat. It was also found that at the prices paid for crops in the period from 1900 to 1908 a dollar's worth of flax contained 42 cents' worth of fertilizers. From the standpoint of feeding value, it was found that flax straw was worth much more than wheat or oat straw, it being about midway between these and clover hay. Owing to the fact that the flax plant contains prussic acid in minute quantities, it was found wise to begin feeding the flax or flax products in small amounts for the purpose of detecting any bad effects upon stock. It is a mighty serious as well as deplorable case of getting the cart before the horse when orderiness in the home—including freedom from dust and dirt—is made of greater importance than the comfort, peace of mind and enjoyment of the members of the household. The writer has mighty little patience with slovenly housekeeping, which is due to shiftlessness and carelessness rather than to actual lack of time and strength, and he has just as little sympathy with the other extreme wherein a molecule of dust or a mite of disorder is magnified into a mountain of trouble and where everybody about is made to feel uncomfortable because of its existence. There be women not a few who worship cleanliness and order as completely as do heatheen women images of stone, and essentially they are just as benighted, but don't have so much excuse for their idolatry. D FARM ORCHARD AND GARDEN BY F.E.TRIGG REGISTER, ROCKFORD, IA. CORES-PONDENCE SOLICITED This matter must not be reprinted without special permission. One bad egg in a dozen sent to market naturally spoils a customer's taste for eggs and is said to reduce sales of eggs in his case from 15 to 20 per cent. To produce eggs of the best quality hens must be provided with an abundance of wholesome food, including grains, bran, clover or alfalfa and oyster shells. Experiments which have been made by a good many dairymen prove beyond doubt that the more quickly a cow is milked the larger will be the per cent of butter fat that her milk will contain. The sight of a horse tied to a town bitching post and shivering with the mercury close to the zero mark is not calculated to inspire regard for either the humanity or good sense of the owner. In far too many instances' it is those farmers who would be most benefited by the discussions at the farmers' institute who fall to attend because they are too busy or because they don't consider the deliberations of such meetings practical and worth while. What is said to be the highest price ever paid for a single apple tree was recently paid to an Oregon farmer for a thirteen-year-old seedling which grew in a fence corner on his farm. The worth of the tree lies in the fact that it yields ripe apples every month from May to November. Let the girls try this recipe for homemade peppermint candy: Into a saucepan put a pound of granulated sugar and a gill of boiling water and as soon as the sugar is dissolved add a table-spoonful of vinegar. Boil until a little becomes brittle in cold water, add peppermint essence to taste and drop by the spoonful on buttered or waxed paper. Candy of this kind is both inexpensive and wholesome. A walnut tree sold the other day in a middle western state for $250. By contrast this brings to mind the conditions a generation ago when the walnut was not prized so highly and when it was often cut into firewood for the kitchen stove and sitting room heater. The giant walnut of that day is gone, along with the Indian and buffalo, two comrades that with it enjoyed unmoistened freedom before the white man's westward march. That was a fine type of spunk displayed by a Miss Lovelace of Texas, who has recently proved up on a home-stead claim in New Mexico. In order to get a patent to the ranch from the government she lived alone in a two room shack on her claim for fourteen months. She was sixty-five miles from a railroad and twenty-five miles from a town, while her nearest neighbor was two miles away. She hunted rabbits and took rides ruleback for pastime. There is said to be but one small section in the United States where Easter lilies will grow profusely and blossom at Easter time. This is Las Palmas, a few miles below Brownsville, Tex., the southernmost town in the country. As a result of interest taken in the matter by H. G. Stiles, horticultural expert of Texas, it is likely that the federal government may establish a national park at Las Palmas, where Easter lilies and other tropical plants may be grown. A plant closely resembling the dandelion that was imported to southern Minnesota from Germany some thirty years ago on the strength of the claim that it was a sure cure for tuberculosis bids fair to become a serious pest unless it is exterminated. It has spread over the eighty acre farm on which it was first grown and may readily spread to adjoining land, as its seeds are winged like those of the dandelion and are readily scattered by the wind. Farmers are urged to guard against the pest and are urged to send specimens to the state experiment station for identification. There are times when feeding hogs a good tonic for a period will help them a good deal and make it possible for them to make a profitable gain in flesh. There are several tonics on the market that answer this purpose well. For those who prefer the homemade article the following recipe is recommended by the United States government: Wood charcoal, two pounds; sulphur, one pound; common salt, two pounds; sodium carbonate, two pounds; sodium hyposulphite, two pounds; sodium sulphate, one pound, and antimony sulphide, one pound. These ingredients should be powdered and mixed and given at the rate of a large tablepoonful once a day for each 200 pounds of hog weight. HELP THEM OUT. There will not likely be any debate among sensible men over the statement that if the females among the farm animals that will soon be bringing forth their young could have their way in the matter they would much prefer to be in such physical condition as to best meet the ordeal and to confer upon their little ones strong and vigorous constitutions than to be depleted and give birth to dead or weakly offspring. In a vast majority of cases tragedies among domestic animals are entirely unnecessary, being due either to the carelessness or short-sightedness of the owners, who invariably are the losers financially when these troubles occur at farrowing, lambing or calving time. Common humanity and regard for animal comfort and welfare, as well as the money consideration, should be sufficient to suggest that care which will give the desired results. This care should include dry and comfortable quarters, in which there should be the largest possible amount of both sunshine and fresh air. The rations, red blood should be blood and muscle forming rather than fat and heat producing and should include generous allowances of the protein feeds—clover and alfalfa hay, bran, soaked oats and moderate amounts (one part to ten or twelve of other cereals) of either oilmeal or high grade tankage. Both skimmilk and buttermilk furnish protein in a most desirable form for the brood sows and should be used whenever they can be got. The mistake made by most farmers who have trouble when the young things begin to come is in feeding a ration consisting of too much corn. Experiments have shown that corn alone is better than wheat alone, but the former should be balanced, as suggested above, by a protein concentrate. It is not too late even now to so modify the feed rations as to produce good condition for the pregnant farm animals and insure for them vigorous offspring. A GOOD ORCHARD CROP. Where one is near a market that will take considerable, quantities of asparagus (the writer has never heard of a market that got too much of it), it makes an ideal crop to grow between the rows of young orchard trees. In making ready for the asparagus the soil should be plowed deeply and pulverized finely with a disk. While from a dozen to twenty loads of well rotted manure broadcasted will give good results, the asparagus will do better if furrows are plowed to a good depth where the rows of the vegetable are to be planted and the manure scattered in these to the depth of six or seven inches and as many inches of soil turned back to cover the manure. The rows should be from three to three and a half feet apart and should not be placed nearer than five or six feet to the trees. The bed will give a good return in about three years and better returns as it grows older. In the course of nine or ten years the asparagus roots should be removed and the trees allowed to monopolize the ground. SOURCES OF INFECTION. As a result of the co-operative work that has been carried on in a number of states under the direction of the federal bureau of animal industry along the line of controlling and eradicating hog cholera some interesting facts have been published as to the most prolific sources of infection in connection with outbreaks of the disease. Sources of infection were classed roughly as of "near" and "distant" origin. It is estimated that in 45 per cent of the herds infected the disease had been spread from distant sources, while 55 per cent appear to have been infected from nearby sources. In 33 per cent of the cases investigated the infection was found to be due to the visiting of neighbors back and forth or the exchange of work. In over one-fourth of the classes birds are charged with spreading the infection, the chief offenders being crows and sparrows. EAT THEIR HEADS OFF. A weeding out process should be carried on in the poultry yard as well as in the dairy. Statistics show that the average hen in America lays only seventy-five eggs in a year. This means that there are a host of hens who lay a good deal less than this number to offset the output of the large number that lay more than seventy-five eggs. With egg prices as they will average during the year, these six and a quarter dozen eggs give the producer a trifle more than a dollar. The bill of fare for one of these hens, with prices of cereals as high as they are at present, is not far from $1.50. In other words, the owner is in soak about fifty cents a year on such birds and throws in his or her labor for nothing. OLD TIME WINTERS. There may not be any permanent chance in our winters, but many an old timer cites as proof that there has been some modification of that winter some forty years ago, when a blizzard and snowstorm continued for three consecutive days and when residents on the then frontier in southern Minnesota and north Iowa were compelled to burn a good share of the household furniture to keep from freezing to death. When that storm was over the snow was found drifted in places from fifteen to twenty-five feet deep, and many a farmer had to cut a hole through his straw thatched stable in order to get feed and water to his imprisoned stock.

This was a remarkable fact, the professor added, for it was this same short headed stock spread abroad in central Europe, throughout Germany, France and Italy, which has produced the world's finest artists. Burns, he said, on the contrary, was a good representative of the long headed type of man. His skull was very broad and of excessive length and appeared to be closely set to the neck. It represented an ancient type. "I guess it must be a royal pastime." —Buffalo Express. Peculiarity of Snow. The water which will allay our burning thirst augments it when congealed into snow, so that it is stated by explorers of the arctic regions that the natives "prefer enduring the utmost extremity of thirst rather than attempt to remove it by eating snow." Yet if the snow be melted it becomes drinkable water. Nevertheless, although if melted before entering the mouth it assuages thirst like other water, when melted in the mouth it has the opposite effect. To render this paradox more striking we have only to remember that ice, which melts more slowly in the mouth, is very efficient in allaying thirst—Pittsburgh Dispatch. A Chinese Flea Trap. A flea trap is in general use in Szechuan. It consists of two pieces of bamboo, one inside the other. The outer is about a foot in length and two and a half inches in diameter. It is longitudinally fenestrated. The inner bamboo is of equal length, but only about an inch in diameter. It is kept in position by means of a short wooden plug. The inner bamboo is coated with birddline or the like. The outer bamboo is protective. The trap can be placed under bedclothes, among rugs and so forth. Any fleas that go through get caught on the birddline. The traps might be of great value in connection with plague epidemics.—Dr. Hinkle in Knowledge. Solicits orders for picnics and wholesale trade. Our factory is equipped to handle any size order. Service and quality are always in Men and Women and Love. Swedenborg once observed that woman seeks in man, something good which she really loves as true, as an expression of wisdom; the man, on the other side, seeks in woman something good which he really loves as beautiful. Virtue of Self Expression. If children are allowed to give vent to all that is joyous and happy and spontaneous in their natures they will be infinitely more likely to blossom out into helpful men and women, instead of sedate, suppressed, sad faced individuals. Children who are encouraged in self expression through their play instinct will not only make much more normal human beings, but will make better business men, better professional men, better citizens, better men and women generally. They will succeed better and have a nobler influence in the world. Joy and fun are great developers, calling out our richest resources, educating our fuller powers.—Nautilus.
