Good Supply.

During the early years of his ca
reer as an evangelist the late d. l..
Moody was not quite the practical
man of affairs which he became as he
grew older and his judgment ripened.
A. characteristic incident of this pc
riod of his life is vouched for by
correspondent. He was holding a Sc
rles Of meetings in a small town in
central Illinois, where, with his wife,
he enjoyed the hospitality of a prom
inent citizen. At dinner one day his
fancy was particularly taken with
some cucumber pickles.
81 am very fond Of pickles." he said,
"and these are certainly the finest 1
ever tasted. l wish could get some
like them in our market at home"
II can give you all you want to take
home with you, Mr.. Moody" said his
generous hostess.
"But don't want them as a gift. I
would like to buy them"
"Well, Of course, IL you would rather
have them that way 1 can pickle lot
Of them from our garden and the
neighbors', and my husband can send
them to you. What quantity would
you want?"
II think barrel would be enough"
said Mr.. Moody, without a moments
hesitation. "Send me a barrel of
them"
But here his more practical wife in.
terfered, and the order was cut down
to q small keg.

When you go into seed store to buy
grass seed, examine it carefully. pre-
ferably with a magnifying glass, on a
sheet of white paper. If you discover
in it, instead of timothy, the seeds of

clover, seeds of the plantain, swamp

Little Girl Who Loved a Doll Better

"Wal," said Uncle Eb, thoughtfully,
Il member one year, the day before
Christmas, my father gin me 2 shill-

with it. / went in a big store when
/ come t the city. See s. many things

shiny with new straps an buckles-I
did want 'em awful-but l didn't hev
enough money. Purity soon 1 see
leetle bit Nv girl in red jacket
lookin' at lot O. dolls. She wus rag
ged an there were holes in her shoes
an she did look awful poor an sick
ly. She'd go up an put her hand ON
one O. them dolls dresses and whis-
per:
"'Some day. she'll say, some day.
"Then she'd go to another an fuss
a minnit with its clothes an whis-
per some day Purity soon she asst
if they had any doll with blue dress
on fer pennies.
No., says woman, says she, the
lowest price for doll with dress
on 1t is one shillin.'
1The little gal she jes looked es if
she wus goin' t. cry. Her lips trem-
bled.
"'Some day I'm goin' 4 hev one

Il couldn't stan 1t, an so I slipped
up an bought one an put it in her
arms. I never'll fergit the look that
come into her face then. WAL she

the cold an there was one thing about

OF the few soldiers which he asked and
he declined to re-establish the post
This lack of courage and foresight
on the part of these two Presidents In
this case was fatal to American inter-
ests on the Pacific. Here are some Of
the few things which would have come
to pass had Mr.. Astor been sustained
by the government: He would easily
have held his ground against the Brit
ish warship which captured the post
in 1913 and the transfer to the Cana
dian company, which took place be-
fore the capture, would have been
averted. With the advantage of his
sea base and his Russian affiliations in
Alaska, both of which had been firmly
established before the news of the war
arrived on the coast, he could readily
have excluded England's Hudson Bay
Company and Canada's Northwest Fur
Company from all the territory west
Of the Rocky mountains. That dis
pute about the ownership of the pres
ent States Of Oregon, Washington and
Idaho, which did not end until Bng-
land gave up all claims in 1916 to the
territory, would never have taken
place, for England through her fur
traders would never have obtained
foothold there. All the present Cana
dian territory of British Columbia and
Yukon, which are west of the great
mountain chain, would have been Sc
cured for the United States. And then,
when the transfer of Alaska to us by
Russia came-and 1t would have come
earlier than 1867 in that event-we
would have an unhroken stretch of
territory from the northern border Of
Mexico up to beyond the arctic circle.

Oats in Place of Wheat.

There are many localities in which
it does not pay to grow winter wheat.
Possibly because of the low price in
some sections, or for other good rea-
sons. If winter oats will succeed they
may frequently be grown with profit,
for the market price is generally good.
There are many advantages in grow
ing winter oats, particularly in warm
localities, for the season of growth Is
during the cool portion of the fall and
spring, so that they fill well, while the
spring-sown oats succumb to the warm
summers. In growing winter oats the
seeding should be done early in Sep
tember and on good soil. 1t is true
that oats Will do well on less fertilizing
than wheat, but, on the other hand,
they pay well for good fertilizing.
By sowing at the time specified they
will get a good start and cover the
ground sufficient to protect the roots
during the winter. In the spring they
may be late In starting up, but they
will come unless the winter has been
sufficiently severe to kill them out
completely. The plan is well worth
trying, at least on small area.

Grs,s for Boadsides.

Orchard grass is slayer. A rough
weedy roadside in New York State
was grubbed over, plowed in spring,
plowed and narrowed several times in
summer until mellow and fine. Or
cbard grass was sown thickly in the
fall. That was fifteen years ago and
the orchard grass still holds the fort,
keeping out nearly all foul growth and
giving two cuttings year. Shade does
not injure 1t much. No other choice
bay grasses can hold their own like
this variety.

HUNGARIAN Millet.

In sections where the hay crop is
short, one of the best and quickest
catch crops is Hungarian millet. The
seed is comparatively cheap, ranging
from 50 to $2.25 a bushel, and the crop
does well on any good soil. In many
localities farmers make good bust
ness of sowing Hungarian millet for a
bay crop on any ground from which
a crop can be taken by the middle of
August If the crop was cultivated
one, but little preparation of the soil
is necessary. Shallow piowing and a
thorough narrowing will probably be
sufficient in most cases. 1t is gener-
ally considered that this millet crop is
worth all it costs to get it, and it Is
particularly valuable for cattle, or the
grain may be saved and fed to poultry
during the winter. One Of the most

HE HAD HIS WAY.
Methods of Killing Were Not the
Usual Ones.

Methods of Killing Were Not the
Usual Ones.
Yes, was all through the civil war"
said the one-armed man, "and had nv
own way Of fighting when it came to
battle"
WAS 1t peculiar way?" asked one
Of the passengers.
Yes, they said it was. For instance,
my first battle was that of Williams
burg. The first man l killed was an
infantryman.. They were driving us
when we turned and charged l seiz-
ed him by the arm and foot and held
him aloft for an instant and then flung
him down head first and broke his
neck. A dozen of us plainly heard the
snap above the roar Of battle. That
man never knew what hurt him"
But you had musket," protested
the man who had spoken before
"Oh, Of course. But | was fighting
my own way, you see. So long as l
could kill men and save cartridges it
was all right. The second man | seiz-
ed and broke his back over my knee,
the third l drowned in the creek, the
fourth l battered against a fence I'M
til smashed in his skull and the fifth
| chased around until he dropped dead
Of heart failure.
Il ought to have killed ten men in
that battle, but 1 was new at the busi-
ness and didn't know exactly how to
so to work at it. They made me a
sergeant, however, and our colonel
seemed to think l had done fairly
WELL"
"And did you keep up that style of
fighting all through the warp
well, no. In my next battle I had
been fighting for half an hour before
l got hold of man. He was young
man and when 1 seized him by the
ears he called out that he had a dear
+ old mother at home. 1 have often
wished that I had spared him, but
the frenzy of blood was upon me at
that moment. Having his ears as a
lever slowly turned his head until
1 broke his neck. 1t went clear around
till he was looking backward.
when 1 got hold Of my second man
l was cooler. l am not sure whether
he offered to surrender or not. He
called out something, but 1 seized him
and flung him down and then opened
the veins of his wrists with my jack
knife. He must have died very quietly
for there was smile on his face as the
burial parties found him. 1 have nc
doubt that he was thankful to me in
his dying moments"
"And your third man?" was asked.
"There was no third man. Just as
finished the second one our briga
dier came along and said that l was
too strenuous and wanted to end the
war too soon and l was ordered to the
rear and sent home. AS to how los

Every farm should have separate

a real live farmer does not keep
from making mistakes, but he does
not keep on making the same mis-
take.
Potatoes should never be marketed
unless assorted. Uniformity Of size

potatoes that injure sales and return
low prices.

ERROR THAT COST DEARLY.
Millions Might Have Been Saved If
Astor Had Been Backed Up.


When, back in 1911, John Jacob AS
tor, with his Pacific Fur Company,
established the trading post of Astoria,
at the mouth of the Columbia, he took
step which, If followed up by the
support that he had right to expect
from the United States government,
would soon have given this country
possession Of all the territory on the
Pacific coast up to Russia's colony of
Alaska, which came to us through pur-
chase in 1867, and thus have shut Eng
land and Canada out Of access to the
great ocean.
Denied by President Madison the
slight measure of military aid which
he asked for the defense Of his post
on the Pacific in the war Of 1925
with England, and with his appeal to
the same President for letters Of
marque to equip an armed vessel at
his own expense to defend the mouth
of the Columbia ignored, Mr.. Astor lost
his post, which was sold by his treach-
erous British subordinates, who were
temporarily in control, in 1918 to Can
ada's Northwest Fur Company for a
third of Its value and the place was
captured by a British war vessel
shortly afterward. In the settlement
at the close of the war the place was
given back to the Americans, but here

been in failing health for nearly two
years, and for more than a year 1t had
been recognized that fatal termina
