pay the highcs; price for selected tubers,
throwing out specimens that We would use
for seed without ~hcsitancy. These men
grow potatoes largely for the hotel and
restaurant trade of a ncighboring city and
must have the very best. Noticing that
the stock Were being fed some very fair
looking tubers we asked why those We're
not sold If they did not consider them
suitable for seed. The reply was that tlcy

FEEDING MlLLET TO STOCK


Many complaints are made concerning
the bad effects coming from feeding mil
let TO stock generally but. we think. in
Nestlsation will prove that no serious in
Jury results from feeding millet to any
stock but horses. When eaten generally
by horses it creates a trouble closely allied
TO rheumatism but fed to COWS it has no
bad effects when it does not comprise more
than one-ha]f the %roughage. We find it
best to mix it with corn slower when feed
ing to COWS but frequently vary this by
feeding 1t alone not more thar twice a
week. The millct seed is particularly good
for poultry and adds one more grain with
which TO form the desired variety. Feed
ing 1t in mixtures of about one-third millet
to two-thirds OF the other grain whether
corn, wheat, or rye, i, gives
better results than when FED alone. 1t is
an ioeal grain to use in the scratching shed
ana we use more of it in this way than
in any other.

where STRAWBERRIES ARE
PROFITARi

While it is probably safe to say thai
fun three-quartcrs Of the varieties of
strawberries on the market are valuable
it does not follow thar they are equally
valuable everywhere; indeed, some of
them are total failures on certain soils and
under certain conditions. This being the
case 1t pays to have an experiment., plot
and test new sorts on il. A friend of the
writer who had been a successful farmer
of many years standing concluded to re-
duce his area and 20 into strawberry
growing. Here was the way he Wen, at it,.
One acre of ground was fitted up for
strawberries 1t was first class So! for
the purpose and properly prepared. Then
lie bought the requisite number of plants
of six different varieties, each of early,
medium and late sorts. They were prop
crlN set and cared for and allowed TO fruit
for two years. careful records being taken
at intervals 50 hat the behavior of the
sort was Known for corresponding dates
during the two years. AT the end of that
period our friend was in a position TO be
reasonably sure just what he might en-
rect from Til" sorts he chose for extending
paintings from among the lot. one may
gay that was too bad TO lose all this time,
but he has demonstrated that ii paid. The
plan is well worth trying if one is not al
ready sure what certain Sorts Will do on
the soil one has to give them.

Possibly it is not fair to say that many
farms are over-fertiliZcd but ii is certain
that many of them are fortified unwiscly,
especially in the older states where de

cial fertilizers. The trouble IS not that the
farms have too much fertilizer. but that
they have too much in the way of mineral
fertilizer and not sufficient of vegetable
fertilizer. Here is where the farmer who
raises stock and utilizes the stable manure

has the advantage of him who depends
wholly upon commercial fertilizers. For

were used. Fol a time the results were

run down and it was plainly seen that
humuS, or vegetable matter, was needed.
Some stock was raised and the want sup

used COW peas and obtained nitrogen and
humus at the same time. Valuable as
commercial fertilizers are we must not
lose sight of the fact that humus in the

Child Saves q Train.

Altoona, Pa-Little Wallace Moore,
aged eight, barefooted and ragged, the
son of a farmer living near Osceola,
10 miles southeast Of here, with rare
presence of mind for one of his years
saved passenger train on the Tyrone
division of the Pennsylvania railroad
from certain disaster and probably
prevented injury, If not death, to 1928
passengers. s Il
The lad, while playing about the
railroad tracks which run near his
home, noticed that switch leading to
. spur, at the end Of which was an
embankment, had been opened.
Fastening to clear stretch Of road,
he stationed himself in the middle Of
the tracks and breathlessly awaited the
approach Of the train. He swung his
arms, and, grabbing his hat, waved it
madly. Engineer Franks became
alarmed when the boy showed no signs
81 leaving the track, and quickly ap-
plying the emergency brakes stopped
the train within q few feet Of where
the boy was standing.

Ohio, where they married and pros-
pered. Ella at home became the in
termediary between her father and
mother. Every effort of hers at get
ting them to forget the past was an
utter failure. Whenever there were
any matters of Importance to be con-
sidered it was Ella who was spokes-
woman for the two years. A few days
ago Ella had her twenty first birthday,
and decided to leave home. So the
agreement between husband and, wife
was ended. Mrs. Grubbs made up her
mind to live there no more, but to go
to the home of one of her sons in I'LL
nois who had sided with her in the
long quarrel. 1:o ~ F,ss1 2.;t-. =

wife is 60. He protested vigorously.
The fact that he never spoke to his
wife, nor she to him had become Sec
ond nature to him, and he couldn't see
how he was going to get along with
out her to do the homework. He said
she couldn't 60; who would take her
place? 49, .ta,
This was the last straw.
Mrs. Grubbs decided to sue for d.
vorce. Papers were served on Grubbs,
in which he was charged with cruel
and inhuman treatment, and alleging
that he had cursed his wife in the
presence of their, children, and had
said other things to her which no good
husband would say to his wife. There
was a hearing before Judge George E.
Downey. He investigated and found
that there was absolutely no hope Of
reconciliation between them, though
the quarrel was 81 years old. So the
decree was granted, and judgment
Of $4,000 alimony was granted, which
the old man promptly paid. y: #E
Mrs. Grubbs has gone to her sons
home now. "Uncle Ham" remains at
the old homestead, where he vows he
will end his days alone. And there
is now no prospect whatever Of bring
ing the old couple together ever again,
