Since the outbreak of the troubles
in the Philippines there has been 4
great demand for maps showing the
resources of the West, the routes to
the Pacific coast and to the islands
of the Orient. Last summer one rail
road company had $4,000 of these
maps printed at cost Of $4,000. They
cost 65 cents each. but were sold for
25 cents each, barely enough to pay
the express charges. The manage
ments of the public schools of Iowa,
Missouri and Kansas learned of these
maps, and to date have caused over
5000 to be distributed among the
schools. They are used by teachers
in preference to the regularly sup
piled maps, because Of the additional
information they contain.

A New Kind of Vegetable Stew.

Mamma" cried Alice Newcomb,
rushing in the house to her mother,

and what I've got in my hand!"
"a book!" guessed Mrs. Newcomb
smiling. "An apple? An orange? A
paper doll? A picture? No? Then I

some pebbles in dish of water. And
then in few weeks it will send up
lovely flowers"
How nice! How very nice!" cried
Mrs. Newcomb as sweetly as though
she didn't know all about Chinese lily
bulbs. And then Alice, who always
has a dozen things she wants to do
on hand, danced off to the kitchen to
make candy.
Mrs. Newcomb didn't happen to
have glass dish she could spare on
hand, and AlIce's allowance for the
week was all gone. So she put bulb
on the lowest shelI of the pantry and
forgot al about it until Saturday came
round. And then-you'd never guess
what had happened-there was no lily
bulb to plant in the dish!
Where is the bulb Alice placed on
the lowest pantry shelf Anna?" Mrs.
Newcomb asked the maid wheI. Alice
was all ready to plant it.
Anna, who hadn't been with the fam

Although my clothes are fine and gay,

Manuring the Soil.

Director John Fields Of the Okla
homa Experiment Station thus sum-
marizes the points to be observed in
the manuring of soil: First, to ma
nure the soil. Use all of the manure
produced, prevent losses by washing
away, quit burning straw, haul ma
,nure onto the fields somewhere, some
time, somehow.
Second, manure the highest. and
poorest spots, give good application
at one time-from fifteen to twenty
:two-horse loads-and manure another
place next time.
Third, manure with reference to the
rainfall, to tho next crop which is to
be grown, and to the other work which
must be done. Late fall and winter,
when other work is not pressing, is
a good time. Light top-dressings may
be applied to wheat in the fall.
Fourth, growing crops for green ma
nuring alone is not the most profitable
method. Pasture them and plow un-
der the remainder when about ma
'ture. This applies chiefly to cow
peas. If sorghum is to be splowed
under, it should be while the stalks
are green and juicy 50 that they will
decay quickly. .s>.... - : !,

SURF RIDING is THE
SPORT OF HONOLULU,

The best sport in Honolulu is surf
riding. 1t beats tobogganing. It is
yachting, canoeing, bathing, tobog-
gaming and iceboating combined.
We invited some army officers to
the fun recently, hired a couple of
muscular natives and their handsome
thirty-foot canoe, put on our bathing
suits and padded out into the break
ers. The canoe is a dugout, made of
the valuable koawood.
1t has an outrigger, a fair-sized log
fastened parallel to the canoe by
means of two curved braces of beams.
Ours was at least forty years old,
had been used by royalty, and was
worth $500.
We worked out against the stiff
breakers for about half mile and
then turned and rested bit, waiting
the critical time to catch a big one
and come in with it's rush. That is
the science of surf-riding, to catch the
breaker at the turn. If you are too
quick you find your canoe thrown
aside or capsized or running in with
swell wave instead of the one you
were after. If you are too late the

South Africa as a Dairy Market.


The dairymen of two or three ma.
tions are looking to South Africa as
possible dairy market. They may
and may not find what they are look
ing for. The South Africans are
thinking very hard about becoming
dairymen themselves. The Cape gov
ernment has gone so far as to appoint
a dairy expert, who is bending all his
energies to stir up interest in dairy
ing. In some cases cooperative COM
panies have been formed for cheese
making. These have been able to dis
pose of their products at fancy prices
20 to rs cents per pound. This has
stimulated others to form like COM
panies. Dairying is not new thing
in South Africa by any means, but it
has not yet become a leading agricul-
tural industry! The recent war. gave
it backset from which it will be
some years in recovering. The great
loss of horses has affected dairylng, as
it has made it difficult to deliver milk
either to creameries or to private Gus
toners. For some years at least South
Africa will be a good market in which
to sell butter and cheese. tits likely,
however, that the nations that will
reap rich harvests are those lying in

MilIet as Stock Feed.

AS yet the feeding of millet has il
it some problems that have not been
fully worked out. Among practical
feeders there are various opinions as
to it's: real value in the hands of feed
ers. It has the proper constituents
chemically to make it a good feed
But the results of it's feeding are not
always good. Doubtless the ploblems
to which we have referred arise large
ly from the varying stages at which
millet is cut and the way it is cured
The foxtail millets have made trouble
with good many feeders that have
used them when they have been fed
alone. So far the trouble seems tc
be a mechanical one due to the nu
merous boards and also to the fibers
of the overripe stalks. These mai

these balls become large enough to
permanently clog the intestines death
results.
But beyond the mechanical injury
there seems to be another. When
hay is taken away from horses and
millet substituted the result is de-
rangement Of the kidneys, which is
frequently followed by lameness and
swelling of the joints. The question
is does the millet cause an accumu'
lation of uric acid, which in turn
causes the lameness? Some veteri
narians report that the bones of af
fected animals are softer than in the
case of we'll animals and separate
more easily. A horse so affected will
sometimes be unable to pull heavy
load on account of the weakening
of the muscles at the points of Joining
of the bones. Millet should be fed td
horses only with care, and then with
other feeds. With other stock less
injury results. Millet cured properly
is a good feed, especially if it is fed
with other kinds of feed, but care
should be exercised against making
it sole ration. --*~~.s..

SOME TRAITS OF THE COW.
Bovine Family Has Many Human
characteristics.

Characteristics.
'"Cows have their likes and their
dislikes," said the milkmaid to the
summer boarder who was curious to
see every part of the farm.
For instance, "a cow admires a
horse and will stand and watch one
for long time. She is sort of timid
about him, but she admires him just
the same. She has contempt for a
mule, and seems to be amused by
his antics. Hogs she tolerates, that's
all, And sheep she hates. She will
not eat grass where sheep have been.
She hates dogs, too, but will tolerate
the shepherd dog, because she knows
she simply has to, and that the shep-
herd dog will not bite her.
."Cattle go wild at being let into a
fresh pasture, added the milkmaid.
1T seems to go to their heads. Each
is afraid that the other has got a bet
ter feeding place than herself, and
tries to drive her neighbor away"
!. :. '"Then - there is a good deal of
human nature in the cow, after. all, -

a distance of ten to twenty feet. that

decidedly of the opinion that such

considerable number of Cooling Moths
unless placed so close together in an

futility of the use of these lights by
spraying experiments conducted by
me this season in which 80 per cent

per cent Of the picked fruit was per
