Farmer John.
Home from his journey Farmer John
Arrived this morning, safe and sound,
His black coat off and his old clothes on.
Now I'm myself" says Farmer John;
And he thinks. III look around.
Up leaps the dog; Get down, you pup;
Are YOU so glad YOU would eat me upT'
The horses prick up their ears AT him;
well, well. old Bay.
Ha. ha. old Gray.
Do YOU get good feed when | am away
"You haven't rib" says Farmer John;
THE cattle are looking round and sleek;
The colt is going to be II roam.
And a beauty. too: how he has grown.
Wen wean the calf next week,
Says Farmer John. when I've been
off
To call you again about the trough.
And watch and pet you while you drink
Is Il greater comfort than you can think.
And he pats old Bay
And he slaps old Gray.
"Ah. this is the comfort Of going away.
For. after ALL" said Farmer John,
The best Of the journey is getting home.
I've seen great sights-but would | give
This spot. and the peaceful life live.
For all their Paris and Rome?
These hills for the ctys stif1ed air.
And big hotels, all hustle and glare;
Land all houses, and road all stones,
That deafen your ears and batter your
bones?
Would you. old Bay?
Would you. old Gray?
That's what one gets by going away"
There. money is king" says Farmer

And fashion is queen; and its mighty

Is raking and scraping all he can,
The wife spends every year,
Enough. you'd think. for score of wives,
To keep them in luxury all their lives.

You see, old Bay,
You see. old Gray
I'm wiser than when | went away"
I've found out this" says Farmer
That happiness is not bought and sold,
And clutched In life of waste and
hurry,
In nights of pleasure and days of worry;
And wealth isn't all in gold,
Mortgage and stocks and ten per cent,
But in simple ways and sweet content,
Few wants, pure hopes, and noble ends.
Some land to till. and a few good friends,
Like you, old Bay,
And you, old Gray.
That's what I've learned by going away

feet below the level of the sea about
the island. 1t has no apparent atilu-
ent or effluent. yet the waters are al
ways fresh and cool.
1t Is believed the lake is fed by
some subterranean passage. leading
out under the bay from the Istrian
Alps. possibly from Monte Maggiore
itself. Some distance to the north
ward is lake which disappears for
weeks at time This sheet of water
known as the Lake of Zirknitz, is
about four miles long and from two
to three miles broad. Villages, chap
els and castles are reflected in its wa
tiers. Frequently in July, although not
every year. the waters begin TO dis
appear, and in August the bed 30 feet
below the surface at some points, at
times gradually appears. From 20 to
% days are required for the entire lake
to be discharged. When the bed Is re-
vealed the peas SAINTS plant crops of bar
ley where only short time before
they were drawing their nets The bed
remains uncovered sometimes for
MANY weeks. The peasants gather
their barley and hay from the bottom
i'm the meantime. Then, with rush,
the waters return, the basin being re-
filled sometimes in period of "a
hours.
The limestone which forms the bed
is perforated with vast number of
caverns and assures. Nearly 80 of
these are visible. They are 80 feet
deep The peasants give them names
such as the Kettle. the Sieve, etc
There are % openings which draw
water off, only II of which both draw
off and discharge water. They connect
with caverns and subterranean pas
sages penetrating beneath the sur
rounding mountains.
In this neighborhood also is the grOt
to Of Adlesberg, the largest known
cavern in Europe and one of the most
beautiful in the world. 1t has been
explored for distance of four or five
miles. Through portion of it flows
the River Polk. which takes this sub
terra mean method of reaching its deS
tinatiOn.
Besides the fantastic caves and grOt
toes are deep pits, varying in diameter
from few feet to several miles, some
OF them having forests and agricul-
tural lands at their bottoms.

JEWS ARE MADE GENERALS.

Two Receive Signal Promotion in Aus
tria and One in France.
The Austrian army has received two
Jewish generals at the same time, says
the Israeite. Eduard Won Schweltzer
has been appointed general of the in
fantry and Naval Constructor Siegfried
Pepper was raised to the rank of
general. the first case in the Austrian
navy. Pepper was born in Prague
in 1913, is a graduate of the tech
meal college in Carlsruhe, and has
been in the service of the navy since
1871.
General Won Schweitzer Is a native
of Hungary. entered military service
as a plain soldier in the war of 1866,
studied afterward in the cadet school,
was made lieutenant and distinguished
himself in the Bosnian instruction of
1878 Being admitted to the military
academy, he became staff officer, colo
mel Of an infantry regiment, and is
now raised to the rank of general.
According to Oesterreichische Woch-
enschrift, this is supposed to be the
tria. There was reported. however.
some time ago the appointment of an
other Jew. General Won Porges. He
may. however, have been converted to
Christianity before.
A French Jew--Colonel Valabregue
has been appointed chief of the cab
met Of General Andre. the French min
lister Of war. This extremely imp0r-
tant promotion, Of course, produced a
spasm of furious excitement in the
antiSemitic papers. They declare that
France and the army have been be-
trayed to the Jews and that Vala-
bregue Is cousin to the traitor Drey-
fus." Prom to-day" exclaimed the
Libre Parole, "Nalabregue Is the real
head Of the army We shall soon see
him minister of war and Dreyfus chief
of the general staff. He Is also the
cousin of General Naquet. that other

Handling Fowls i'm Yards.


Where it is necessary to keep the
fowls confined to houses and yards dur
ing the summer and not much chance
to divide the yards, the best way to
handle them is to have the yards of
four-foot netting, the top covered over
as well, and every few weeks move
these yards to a new location, where
fowls have not been the present year.
This is considerable trouble, but it
must be done If chicks and fowls are
kept on small area If it Is not pos
sible to let the fowls have range,
then green food must be provided in
some way. A good plan is to give
them some cut grass or weeds at night
just before they go to roost.
A better plan is to rake up the cut
tings following the lawn mower, for
they can consume these short blades
better than grass cut with a scythe.
All fowls in confinement ought to be
allowed to run for an hour or two each
night, even though it Is necessary for
several people to keep them out Of mis-
chief. This run will do them world
of good, and the egg results will pay
for the trouble of watching them.
Don't forget the necessity for an
abundance of fresh water several
times daily.

NEVER HAD A CANDIDATE.
Hawkeye State Is Never Doubtful
That's, the Reason.

Hawkeye State Is Never Doubtful,
That's. the Reason.
Iowa first took part in national
election in lS4S and it has since grown
to be one of the most important States
of the country. with more than 100000
voters, and, from its geographical po-
sition, exercising great power in the
West Some of the most important po-
itical agitations which have swayed
the action of other Western States
have had their origin in Iowa. notably
THE Granger movement" 1.-The anti
railroad fight" and the sealed pack
age" agitation as applied to the prohi-
bition question.
But. though Iowa has been abund-
antly recognized in all other lines of
political preferment lit has now two
representatives in the Presidents Cab
met, the Secretary of the Treasury and
the Secretary of Agriculture, and had
in the last Congress the Speakership),
1t has never been recognized by either
Of the great political parties for nom
ination to the Presidency or the Vice
Presidency.
Twice the Democrats took their
Presidential candidate from neighbor-
ing Nebra ska. twice their Vice Presi-
dental candidate from neighboring
Missouri, twice their Vice Presidential
candidate from neighbOring Illinois, the
States which make the western. south
ern and chief eastern boundary Of
Iowa. But from the State of Iowa It.
self no candidate for President or Vice
President has come in a Democratic
national convention.
On the Republican side the failure to
nominate an Iowan has been equally
marked. The Hawkeye State has vo-
ted in turn for every Republican can
didate for the Presidency since and in
Guiding Fremont, but though ii has a
long line of Cabinet appointments -
Kirkwood, McCrary, Harlan, Hatton,

Shade for swine is quite as neces-
sary as for other animals, and when
one has tree or two in the pasture
the question of shade is readily set
tied. If there are no trees plant three
or four, and while they are growing
use portable houses for shade. making
them with sill set on runners and
with ring set in the front sill so
that horse may be attached and the
house moved when necessary. These
houses may be made of any cheap
material and the roof arranged so that
a portion Of 1t may consist of tree
limbs laid over the boards set far
apart. The cost need not be great
and the results will pay for the time
and labor spent.

The modern method of tree training
which provides for lowheaded trees is
of great advantages. as those who now

There has as yet been but one serious
objection to the low headed tree. and
that the trouble in cultivatng the soil
around them. To meet this objection,
there are several new implements on
the market with which the careful
worker can do quite as good work
among low headed trees as among tall
