BIG YIELDS OF MlILET.

Pearl millet is attracting renewed
attention as n forage crop on account
OF the enormous crops. The Massa-
chusctts station reported over thirty
five tons green, the Kentucky station
forty tons, the California station over
thirty tons If cut when three or four
feet high the plant sprouts and gives
another cutting. Largest crops are
grown on rich, moist loan. The seed

String beans can be grown as long rs

growing the earlier kinds alone is too
general, for n ready sale awaits them

GREEN FEED FOR POULTRY.
Where fowls are shut up in summer
in a yard or Enclosure l grow green
crop especially for them in Out-of-the-
way corners Of the garden. The crops
l have found best are lettuce, rape and
cabbage for summer, sugar beets and
mangels for winter. l SOW the lettuce
or cabbage seed quite thickly and let
it get good size before cutting. When
cut off they will grow out again, and
thus small patch will give an abund
ance of green food from July till frost
for the hens will eat every particle Of
it. The sugar beet and mangel seed
is sown in May and can be thinned
out and transplanted when large
enough. Every day through the winter
/ take one of the roots. split 1t nearly to
the tip and hang it up in the hen house.
The reason why in so many cases
hens fail to lay in winter and warm
weather is that they need plenty Of
green feed. 1t cannot take the place Of
grain, as it is of low food value, but as
an adjunct to the grain ration and to
keep the fowls healthy a plentiful sup.
ply, both in summer and winter, is nee
essary. Beet leaves, turnip and carrot
tops are also good in summer, but moth
ing appears to be relished so much as
lettuce. The mangels and sugar beets
can be boiled in the winter and mixed
with bran and little is then wasted

WHITE GIRL AMONG REDS.
Was Stolen From Parents When 1;
Years Old,

Ottawa, Ont, May 12.-Maud Giles
pie, a white girl, who at the age of IL
mysteriously disappeared from her par
ents' home near Sault Ste. Marie four
teen years ago. has been discovered
living With band of Mississauga In
dams about II hundred miles back of
Thessalon in the wilds of northern On
tario. Two prospectors, while eXplor-
ing these almost unknown regions,
came upon a village of Indians on
Green lake. While trying to talk with
the Indians they We're startled to see
a white woman, who appeared delighted
when she heard them speak English.
They talked With her and she told
them her name and that years ago,
when she was small girl, she had been
stolen by the Indians and had lived with
them ever since, never seeing white
man except the French trappers, with
whom she was unable to talk. She
was anxious to get away from the In
dams and implored the prospectors to
aid her. They promised to do SO. The
matter has been brought to the at
tention of the government and immedi
ate steps will be taken to restore the
long lost girl to her parents.

Clerk.
Bursted.

Not long ago, Rev. Page Milburn, a
popular clergyman of Baltimore, had
an embarrassing experience while de-
livering a sermon on the judgment day.
1t was a peaceful summer night,
warm enough to have all the windows
open, but not sufficiently hot to cause
a futtering of fans. The reverend gen
tleman was preaching upon the last SOL
emn moment of judgment day and pre-
senting graphic ford picture Of ma
jestic and triumphal coming of the
Judgment angel. Extending his arms
he began majestically: "Hark! What
is that sound that bursts upon my
ear" The Infatuated and appalling
yowl OF felines in mortal combat on a
neighboring fence rent the air.
There was a general litter from the
younger folk of the congregation.
Thinking to stem the current or amuse-
ment by reproof, the clergyman contn-
ued in impressive tones: Let not our
minds be diverted. l say again: What
is that solemn sound that bursts upon
my ear?" An ear splitting series of
spittings and yowls came in instant
rejoiner from the combatants upon the
fence. 1t was too much for speaker and
audience.
"Will the congregation join in the
closing hymn? said the discounted
preacher. And with a speedy benedic-
ton the service came to an abrupt
conclusion

A German Treasure.

The Dienstmaedchen is peculiar to
Germany. Nowhere in this country al
least, can her counterpart be found
For that reason it is difficult to trans
late this word, so simple in comparison
with many German compounds.
She is hardly the maid" of our sub
urbs; she is neither the cook, second
girl nor chamber maid OF our more
pretentious city homes; she is not the
hired girl of the rural districts. She
is none of these and all of them. The
old-fashioned use of the word help
most nearly describes her place in the
domestic economy, if it does not exact
ly translate the German.
In making arrangements for room
in German family, you stipulate that
the price paid is to include Bedienun
or service. This will be furnished by
the Dienstmaedchen. In the course
of long days spent in an attempt to
master the German language, you be-
come very grateful to the little maid
With her quickness in understanding
what you say and her boundless capaci-
ty for serving you.
Her services begin early and con-
tinue late. Sometimes in the gray of
the morning she polishes your shoes.
They may have travelled many miles
through the forests clothing the steep
mountain side, along the smooth white
lusty roads, or on city pavements, but
they greet your eyes in the morning
all black and shining.
When you have disposed of rolls and
coffee, the Dienstmaedchen desires
ff,r har oh he
will in the room. Her will is to clean.
The verb "zu putzen" in all its richness
of meaning (for it is used of dressing
he hair, of backing the shoes of
scrubbing the floor or of cleaning sill
ver), is dear to the heart of the Ger
man housewife. She has accordingly
trained this maid of all work to be
The incarnation of it.
You have left your room in a state
of disorder. When you return chaos
is no more. The floor has been scrub
bed, the furniture busted, and the trou-
bled pillows of your couch are Gained
as Neptune's trident never Gained old
Ocean. To bring to proper degree
of smoothness that towering white
structure which resembles nothing so
much as a well protected straw stack,
Is no slight task. The superstructure
IS thrown back, exposing to view the
hardest of mattresses, or springs and
mattress combined and completely COW
cred with ticking This foundation,
whose possibilities of accumulated
dust are dreadful to the domestic
minded American, is covered with a
leather bed. Over this a linen sheet
IS neatly tucked Next the pillows
are laid on, not at the head or the foot,
out in the middle of the bed. Then
comes the tug of war-so to arrange
The feather cover, neatly encased in
linen, that it will resembel anything
but relief map of the Rockies. You
IAN hardly do this, but the whole per-
tormance, including the arrangement
Of a white spread, has taken her hardly |
three minutes.
