The Order of the Garter, the highest
and most illustrious order of knight
hood in Great Britain, was founded,
says Selden, by King Edward III. on
April %, 1914. But some trace the orr
gin Of this order back to April %,
1892, when Richard l. compelled TWEEN
ty-six Of his best knights to wear a
thong of blue leather on the leg when
fighting with the infdels. The general
ly accepted tradition, however, is that
King Edward III. was dancing at a
ball with the Countess of Salisbury
when she dropped her garter, which
the sovereign picked up and at first
tied about his own leg. Observing,
however, that this act excited a good
deal of attention, he handed it back to
the fair owner, with the words, "Honi
sol qui NAL Y pense" ("Evil to him who
evil thinks"), words still used as the
motto Of the order. The king said fur
Their that shortly they should see that
garter advanced to so high an honor
and renown as to account themselves
happy to wear it.-Harper's Weekly.

One Thing and Another.

The state of Kansas has produced in
single year over 100000 bushels of
potatoes, and Secretary Coburn has
written one Of his famous quarterly
reports on how it is done.
Any one can get a fine idea of all
the diseases that hogs can exploit and
how to combat each one in a practical
manner by reading the new Indiana
state bulletin on this subject, prepared
by Messrs. r. A. Craig and A. w.
Biting, who know whereof they write.
The landowner should look upon
drainage purely as an investment.
Will it pay satisfactory per cent on
the outlay? With expensive lands
progressive owners regard each I'M
productive acre as source of annual
loss.
/. Turnips are relished by sheep, and
many feeders prefer them for sheep
feeding to any other roots. Sheep are
very fond of any of the varieties of
Swedish turnips and also relish man
gel wurzels near springtime. Sugar
beets are satisfactory. Corn or clover
silage, when well preserved, is a sue
culent food that may be fed to sheep
with satisfactory results.
Smoothness is a leading feature of
Aberdeen-Angus cattle. This breed is
noted for it's symmetry and quality
and for the evenness with which the
flesh covers the carcass.

A Love of Roses.

Dean Hole, the famous English
clergyman who died recently, grew
roses in profusion in his life and
wrote a book about them which has
been translated into many languages.
The dean was quick to notice roses
wherever he saw them. Often he
would stop at a cottage and chat with
the owner, as to his methods of treat
ing his roses if they were specially
good He was thoroughly convinced
of the moral influence of fower-grow
ing upon character. "a man who
loves his garden is more likely to love
his Children he would say. He was
anxious that workingmen should take
a deeper interest in their gardens. In
the opening sentences of his famous
book he says: He who would have
beautiful roses in his garden must
have beautiful roses in his heart. y

The Proposals
Of Paula
BY OHIO B. .SEWGA
Copyright, 1901, by Ohio B. Sepgd

The privileges and possibilities OF
leap year were under discussion.
ut is my opinion" said Paula in 8
judicial tone, that woman ought al
ways to be the proposer and man the
the proposee," coming the word with
charming assurance.
"You would never dare" said one
man tauntingly.
"I'll prove it. In fact, I'll propose
not only to one, but to seven"
The men surrounding her gave utter
ance to despairing groans, and the girl
laughed enjoyably.
"I've made up my mind" she con
tinued in a reflective tone, chat real

eagerly, "why not

you'll have some difficulty in choos-
ing the 'proposee,'" declared Hender-
son gloomily.
"Oh, | think not" airily. "Not all the
eligible men Of my acquaintance have
proposed to me- 1 can think of sew
eral, any one Of whom would be will
ing to marry if all the circumstances
were favorable"
Suppose the first one should ac-
cept?" suggested Dixie Salter dismally.
'There will not be any first There
will be seven simultaneous proposals

hiding. The man who reaches my side

The Spinters' leap year ball was in
progress at the Tuileries, the Spin

society girls, many of them buds in
their first season.
Paula Pendleton's announcement was
the climax to an evening of gayety.
'Do you really mean it, Miss Pen
dleton" asked several.
Il am genuinely in earnest" she re-
piled, laughing, but l feel safe; my
hiding place will not be discovereds'
"Be careful lest you meet the fate Of
Genevra," warned grave voice some
distance from the laughing group.

Point About Plant Lice.

I have for number Of years noted
that in the early fall after the first
frosts the cabbage aphis rises into the
air in great numbers during the hot
sunlit hours of the day and disappears
in the air. They doubtless go to some
other plant or plants, on which they
deposit their eggs and on which they
feed during tie first part of the sum-
mer. have also repeatedly observed
that in making their appearance in a
new field of cabbage, turnips or Of
other similar plant they come first in
small numbers and that their coming
is rather late in the season in Montana.
So far as is known to me, nobody has
yet observed what the alternate food
plant of this aphis is.-R. A. Cooley.

So scornful, and at you, Paulav'
"Did he" asked Paula indifferently
''Ie always looks scornful-or bored.

1t was hardly a bored expression
that rested ON Kenneth Carriers dark
face as he bent over Paula's white
hand in courteous adieu.

mockingly.
A dangerous light cleaned for an in
slant in his dark eyes, and the hot
southern blood famed in his veins.

Paula's greatest charm for him was
an indescribable quality, combination
OF purity and comradeship that robbed
the most daring speech or act Of all un-

thought uneasily on his way home. "It

sprang to his feet in angry dismay.
Then he handed the note to his mother
and explained rapidly.
"Are you going?" she asked, hardly
above her breath.

thing that ought to be sacred. She is
doubtless amusing herself as usual,

Here are two stories of the late Sen

Senator Tillman had a bad pain and
thought he had appendicitis, but found
later that it was only Indigestion. He
met Senator Hoar and told him the
good news.

Massachusetts, that the trouble was

Cattle Made Heavy Gains on 1t Last
Year and Finished Well
BY w. J. GIBSON, Iowa.

BY w. j. GIBSON, Iowa.
The corn crop improved in condition
on the whole with various spells of ia
vorable weather in the latter part Of
the season, yet there will be many
cases where soft or light and chaffy
corn will be cribbed.
The Iowa Homestead recalls an in
stance of last year where a crib con-
tanning 1000 bushels of fairly good
corn was almost ruined by simply
throwing in the soft ears as we'll as
the firm ones, although probably not
per cent Of the corn was soft. and
says: "Yet this small percentage did
an immense amount of damage. Each
soft ear proved a center of decay and
worked it's way through the sound
corn.''
There will be many fields that had a
good yield this year, but which contain
a certain percentage of soft ears, ac-
cording to the same authority, and it
is suggested that these be put in a To-
cation by themselves, where they can
be spread out and kept from rotting.
While mature corn would of course
be preferred for feeding in beef pro-
duction, yet if there is soft corn and
it must either be left to rot or fed to
stock it is matter Of interest to know
what it's value may be for the latter
purpose. This was investigated last
season, when so much of the crop was
soft, by the Iowa experiment station,
and the following conclusions were ar
rived at:
First.-That soft corn grown on the
college farm in 1902 and containing 80
per cent of moisture at the beginning
Of the test, pound for pound, on a wa
ter free or dry matter basis was fully
equal in feeding value to mature corn
grown in 1900 when used for fattening
cattle.
Secondhand cattle fed on such soft
corn made nearly as heavy gains and
finished equally as well as those fed
on mature corn grown in 1900.
Third.-That when soft corn similar
to that used in this test could be pur-
chased for 80 cents per bushel, the pre-
vailing market price, gains on fatten-
ing cattle could be made at cost Of
1903 cents per pound less than when
mature corn, costing SO cents per BUSH
ell, the prevailing market price, was
fed under similar conditions.
The term "sOft corn is indefinite
because meaning in different parts of
the country very different percentages
illusions as to the feeding value of soft
corn are somewhat difficult to fix.
