How the Flight of the Honrs was In.
dictated to Children of the Desert.
It is probable that the earliest sun
dial was simply the spear Of some no.
mad chief stuck upright in the ground
before his tent. Among those desert
wanderers, keen to observe their sur
roundings. 1t would not be difficult
thing to notice the shadow shortened
as the sun rose higher in the sky and
that the shortened shadow always
pointed in the same direction. The
recognition would have followed very
soon that this MONDAY shadow chang
ed In Its length from day to day. A
six-foot spear would give shadow at
MONDAY in latitude 40 degrees Of
twelve feet at one time of the year and
of less than two feet ut another time.
This instrument, SO simple, SO easily
carried, SO easily set up, may well have
begun the scientific study Of astron-
omy. for It lent itself to measurement
and science is measurement, and prob
ably we see 1t expressed in permanent
form in the obelisks of Egyptian solar
temples. though these no doubt were
retained merely as solar emblems ages
after their use us actual instruments
of observations had ceased. An up
right stick, carefully plumbed, stand
ing on some level surface, may, there
fore, well make the first advance up
on the natural horizon. A knob at the
top of the stick will be found to rem
der the shadow more easily Observed

Sailing Hay.

We have heard of a man who thought
he was making money by selling his
grass standing or hiring 1t cut and sell
Ing the hay. He had what is often
called natural grass farm, moist
enough to insure pretty good crop
every year, when in fair condition. For
many years he had run 1t as dairy
farm, keeping considerable stock, and
manuring his fields heavily. at last
old age and well-earned competence
decided him to leave the farm, and in
stead Of renting it out for some one
else to skin of what he had put on the
land, he put it oil in grass. Then he
sold grass or hay as seemed best at the
time, and when the fields began to get
thin they were given very liberal
dpess:as IS commercial fertilizer. He
said he received more than the fer
tilizer cost, enough to enable him to lay
up more money than he could when
working the farm. How long he would
be able to do this we do not know, but
we think the soil would soon begin to
show a lack of humus or some other
element of plant food. But If he sue
ceeds according to his plan it will be
by reason of the condition Of the soil
when he began, the large applications
of fertilizers would be likely to keep
the condition good for a long time. Not
every one could do SO well.-Exchange.

RIGHT AND LEFT FACES.


Physio2nomies Which Are Stumbling
Blocks to photographer.
"One Of the principal obstacles In
the way of successful portrait photog-
raphy," said an old-time local expert,
sis the asynmetry Of the average hui
man face. Tho features OF ninety-nine
people out Of hundred are deniably
asymmetrical-in other words, the
right and left sides are different in
size, shape and general contour. We
don't notice this variation unless our
attention is attracted to 1t, but 1t is
there all the same, and for some rea-
son that am not able to explain 1t is
generally emphasized by the camera.
What I say applies. Of course. to full
face pictures only, for when the head
is turned slightly the deyiations are
scarcely ever discernible.
among men asymmetry often lends
great strength to countenance, Bis
marck was striking example of that
fact, and SO was Gladstone. If you are
skeptical take full-face picture of
either and cover one-half of 1t with a
card. Then reverse the process and
examine the other side. You will be
surprised. In fact, you will discover
four different men, all distinct types"

Cow Peas for si,are,

A veteran dairyman is John Patter-
son, Of Adair County, Missouri, former
President Of the State Dairymen's AS
ISOLATION. Two years ago he decided to
grow COW peas for his dairy cattle.
When the time came to harvest, the
season was so wet that he saw no op-
portunity to cure the peas for hay. He
had often heard of the silo, but had
never raised his faith to the point Of in
vesting in one. But with the chance of
a lost crop staring him in the face, he
hurried to town, bought enough lumber
and Immediately built large stave
silo. The COW peas were soon harvest
ed and put in the silo. He reports that
he never had cows to do so well before.
He also mixed corn and cow-pea silage
with very satisfactory results. This
year he intends to build two more silos
and store away, an immense acreage of
corn for winter feeding. Mr.. Patterson
now thinks that every progressive
dairy farmer should by all means have
n silo

To grow buckwheat for the grain the
land should be made fine and fit for a
seed bed as for other small grains.
Then apply 200 to 400 pounds per acre
of fertilizer rich in potash and phos-
phoric acid, and harrow it in well.
This grain likes a dry or well-drained
soil. Sow the seed at almost any time
when convenient from July to July
10. There should be from twenty to
thirty bushels of grain to the acre.
This crop is not thought exhausting to
the soil, and 1t leaves the land In good
condition for sowing or planting next
spring. In sowing buckwheat to pillow
under, SOW earlier, in June ut least,
and plow under while in bloom or Just
before any seed ripened, then follow
by sowing winter grain.

I WNW a brief but bllssful courtship,
became Mrs. Philip Marston, it
seemed to her that life could hold no
more Of happiness. But alas, a cloud
appeared on the sky of connubial bliss
which increased In dimensions and
density every day. The fact of the
matter Is this: Dorothy could not
'cook-not a little bit. Like too many
OF the, girls Of the present period, she
was educated in anything and every
thing but the one thing necdful to a
honsekeeper whose husband is q clerk
IN Chicago department store.
I Dorothy awoke from her dream Of
bliss to realizing sense Of her de-
lfciencles. She discovered that burnt
steak, muddy coffee, soggy biscuit, and
dried-up roasts were not exactly the
right sort of fuel with which to feed
the fickering flame Of domestic love.
Philip was too much Of gentleman to
indulge In unkind or sarcastic speeches

lost his bright spirits, became serious
and preOccupied In his manner, lost
his appetite, and, horrors, began to get

Danger in Crimson Clover.

The little stiff hairs. only about one
eighth Of an inch long, which are to
be seen on the heads of crimson clover
are barbed, and when the clover is
ripe they are stiff and hard. When they
are fed to horses they lump together
into balls in the stomach and intes-
tines, refusing to pass away in the ex-
crement. Gases have been known
where such balls were five inches in
diameter. and with such ball in the
intestines 1t is almost impossible to
save the life of an animal. For this
reason when the clover is cut for hay
1t should be done before any Of the
he0ds mature, or even before they are
In full blossom, while these hairs are
soft and pliabEe. When the clover is
grown for seed. do not use thestraw for
feeding or evan for bedding, unless the
animal is SO fastened that 1t cannot
reach the bedding to eat 1t. Many

Poisonous Rntter Color.

Arsenical butter color must go. 1t is
time some definite action were taken by
the pure-food departments of every
pure-food State, or many of them will
be resting under the suspicion that I'M
due influences have been brought to
bear to prevent hostile action. There is
no longer any doubt about the highly
poisonous character Of the deadly drug
now scattering death throughout the
country. Not week passes that either
well authenticated cases or cases of
very suspicious character do not crop
up here and there, and there can be
no excuse for State officials in States
where these fatalities abound to neg

1t is characteristic of those who are

satirist of his day, was one day dining
with company of gentlemen, one of
whom he had made the butt Of his ridi-
Guile, with repeated sallies. At last the
Dean poured upon piece of duck some
gravy intended to be eaten with q
roasted goose. The unfortunate gentle
man, seeing this, Immediately said:
"My good dean, you surprise me-you
cat a duck like a goose" The company
roared, and the poor dean was so con-
fused and mortified that he few into a
rage and left the table. :

BEAUTIFUL FEET ARE RARE.

Present. Day Footwear Distorts the Ex.
trcmitics Abominably.
A man who denies that he is pre1u-
diced, but claims that he Is a good
Judge of feminine beauty, declares that
there is scarcely a beautiful foot to be
found among the women of to-day.
The high heels, the exaggerated curve
at the ball of the foot, the stiff heel
stays and the pointed toes, he declares,
have distorted the foot In q painful
and ugly manner.
The ankles are misshapen In some
cases the bones are enlarged until they
bulge out SO that every bone is percep.
ttble. The weight of the body thrown
upon the toes has caused them to
spread out. Crowded into pointed toes,
they stick up in clusters of knotty
cOrns.
The foot should be as shapcly as the
hand. Footwear should fit as glove
fits the hand. The perfect foot is slen-
der, with IN arched instep and toes
that lie smoothly and easily.
The first step toward acquiring q
pretty foot ID to wear shoes that 1T 1t
comfortably. The next is to take ex-
ercises that will render the toes strong
and supple. Begin by spreading out
the toes to the utmost extent; then hold
four toes still and attempt to move the
remaining one. Every toe should be
distinct and able to move separately.
Every nail should keep its shape, just
as finger-nails do. The big toe should
be straighter and shorter than the
next one and the arch should be shape
~ and plant.
The feminine foot of to-day renderr
graceful carriage an impossibility.
And all because Dame Fashion has de-
creed that short, high-heeled, point
ed-toe shoe is the correct thing in
dressy footgear, forgetting that there
never was human foot built that
way,

Nothing will pay better for the mon
ey invested than chickens if they are
properly handled, but to be profitable
much care must be exercised. Because
the hens will give returns under ad-
verse circumstances is the reason they
are neglected SO much, but the better
they are treated the better the returns
you will receive from them. But the
difficult part Of the thing is to make
average farmers believe 1t. By keeping
constantly at them they may eventually
be taught what good thing the hen
