DIVERS DEFINITIONS.

''KNow-NoTHISG" was a title applied to
the political organization or society which
first became active in New York IN 1874,
called the American party. The name was
adopted from the reply given to all in
quiries respecting the nature of the so
ciety.
THE term 'Immanuel'' Is, in Christian
literature, one of the significant titles of
Jesus Of Nazareth. The application of the
title to Him has its foundation in prophecy
fulfilled by Hum. The meaning Of the title,
according to its Hebrew etymology, is Sod
with us.n
BARBEcUE.-A word supposed by some to
have been derived from the French barbe-a-
queue, l. e., from ''snout 10 tall but it was
probably obtained from the Indians of
Guiana, who used the word berbelsot for the
wooden sticks on which they broiled or
smoked meats and fish The word has
been generally applied among civilized peo-
pie TO the roasting of hogs or other animals
whole.
EUGENE FIELD, the learned savant and
funny man of Chicago thus throws light on
the origin of the word ''chump:" The
word was newborn about 1883 and origin
ally used TO de"ignate the heavy English
sort of swell vino bought wine for chorus
girls. The essential conditions of true
chUmpery are: % The mar must be
large in person and solemn in manner; (2)
he must open wine.'"
THE word ''Deseret" is of Mormon coming,
and IS said by the people of that sect to
mean ''honey-bee" In March. 1919, shortly
after settling in Utah, the Mormons organ
lied the State of Deseret, which Congress
refused to recognize. 1t was to include not
only Utah, but a great deal Of territory
bordering. Utah was regarded as a ''land
flowing with milk and honey" hence the
meaning of Deseret. The word is applied
to several Salt Lake City institutions, in
GLIDING the Deseret NelCs, a newspaper.

THOUSANDS of cows would do far
better than they do If they were fed

win do Is for the farmer who handles the
oatmeal and bran dish TO say.
As THE grass disappears let the change
from green to dry food be as gradual as
possible, in order to prevent the cows from
falling of in milk. To do this begin the use
of hay and other dry food now, so as to
supply the deficiency OF the pasture.
A CALF born in fan or winter is worth two
born in the spring for profit. A spring calf
is so young that it gets little good from
pasture the first season, for by the time it
can fight flies successfully and crop grass

is at hand, and it is placed o. dry feed.
WHEN harvesting corn for the silo it is no

mended, allowing the eusiiage to heat be-
tween filings. This process is called the
making OF sweet ensiiJge. Sour ensilage
IS made by putting the entire contents into
the silo at once, and closing it against tho
