feed and take care of the manure
This means to enrich your farm at the
expense Of somebody's else farm. Il
ought TO be the policy Of every Missouri
tlrmer not to sell any corn or hay and
to buy all Of the feed that he can use
with profit, and to so arrange his
feeding operations that as much as
possible of the manure is dropped
where it is wanted and that the rest is
carefully hauled to the fields. This
trouble with most of our feeding lots
is that they are in the wrong place and
most Of the manure made either from
the feed which we have grown or.
selves or which we have bought is
washed away and lost,
AS an example of the possibilities In
this direction, cottonseed meal may be
laid down at any Missouri rsllRay
station at less than $25 a ton, IN car
lots. The Georgia, Alabama or
Carolina farmer gladly pays $50 q ton
for this same material to be used as q
fertilizer. The Missouri farmer can
feed this cott9nseed meal in connection
with his corn at a profit, and have left
in the manure SIS to $50 worth of
plant food for every ton of c%ottonseed
meal ted. A ton of clover, which can
usually be bought for from Sc to SIS a
ton, brings onto the farm approximate
ly $40 worth of plant food, at the
price this plant food commands in a
commercial fertilizer, and from eight
tenths to nine-tenths of this Is left on
the farm in the form OF manure, if il
is properly handled.
} On the other hand, every thirty
J bushel load of corn that is hauled of
of the farm makes that farm a little
5 over Sc poorer. Every 80 bushel loaC
= of wheat takes away S12 so worth o
plant food and every ton of timoth,
, hay sold robs the farm OF S4.75 wortl
S of fertility. This makes the difference
S between selling grain off the farm ant
t of buying 1t on the farm.
1t is furthermore, true, although i
e is not possible at this time to 60 int,
this phase of the question, that th
feeds richest in nitrogen, that Is
y having the greatest fert lizlDg valu
- and making manure that is the richie.
q are also OF the greatest value to tn
= farmer az a feed and as q supplement
! to his corn.
1t is apparent, from all that has bee
] said, that it is not profitable to gro1
timothy hay when you can gro
clover, and it is not profitable to fee
Timothy hay under any circumstance
to any class of stock, except matur
working horses.
Thus Is the farmer able, through til
growing of cowpeas, clover, and sue
crops, and through the practice {
feeding all tho grain aud hay that b
n grows, and of buying all of the fee
n on the farm that be can use with prof
; not only to maintain the present prC
~ductiveness of his farm, but to increas
" it from year to year, until at the en-

FOOD VALUE OF EGGS.
A Good Substitute For Meat and Easy
Of Digestion.

Almost everybody eats eggs. There
is perhaps no article of diet that is
more commonly eaten in all coun-
tries than eggs Hens eggs are
used more than any other kind, al
though some people eat duck eggs,
goose eggs and the eggs of the gui-
nea fowl. Turkey eggs are not so
often eaten. They are generally
kept for Matching. Eggs are said to
be perfect food, the same as milk
that is, containing all the food
elements necessary for the growth
and maintenance of the young
chick, just as milk does for the
young animal. While it is true, of
course, that the egg does contain all
the elements necessary for the
young chick, yet it would not follow
that these elements are in the right
proportion for the sole nourishment
of an adult person. That eggs are
a splendid food is not to be ques-
toned, but that eggs alone would
furnish sufficient diet for a grown
person is hardly probable.
Eggs consist of protein and fat,
water and mineral matter. 1t is the
protein or heterogeneous matter that
builds up and repairs the tissues of
the body, while the fat supplies en-
ergy. The white of an egg is often
said to be pure albumen, but it also
contains phosphoric acid and sodium
chloride, or common salt. The yolk
contains the fatty part of the egg,
phosphorus, calcium, magnesium,
potassium and iron. Eggs also con-
tain sulphur, and this probably ac-
counts for the dark stain left by
eggs on silver, the sulphur coming
in contact with the silver forming
silver sulphide. Eggs are very east
ly digested. Raw eggs are more
quickly digested than cooked eggs.
Soft boiled eggs, roasted eggs and
poached eggs are more easily digest
ed than fried or hard boiled eggs.
The stomach will digest raw egg
in from one and half to two hours.
Soft boiled and roasted eggs require
from two and half to three hours,
while hard boiled or fried eggs must
be allowed from three and a half to
four hours for digestion. Eggs fur
nish a good substitute for meat, and
we believe it would be far better for
the average person if eggs were more
frequently used in place of meat.
Especially do they make light, nu-
tritious dish for breakfast instead
of the usual bacon or ham or sau-
sage.-Medical Talk.

FACTS ABOUT MAHOGANY.
Where IL Grows, Its Value and How II
Is Prepared For Shipment.

The United States is not a ma
hogany growing country, unless Gu
ba may now be said to be part of
the United. States. 1t is tropical
wood. Its home is in Central Amer
lea and in Cuba, Jamaica and Santo
Domingo. These islands give the
smallest, but heaviest and prettiest
wood. British Honduras, Guatemala
and Nicaragua give the most and
Mexico the largest timber. The
richer, solid, heavy varieties come
from the islands. These will not
float. They are susceptible of a
high polish, and the wood has
rich, wavy figure. The pretty fig
ured pieces of wood are of great
value. A six foot piece, which in
cluded the crotch of tree, in GER
tain shipment brought about $500
when cut into veneers.
No matter where a shipmest of
the wood comes from or what varie-
ty it is, there are always more or
less of the fine, faky sticks that
make veneer. Mahogany is phe-
nomenal wood, in that it does not
warp under any conditions of wealth
er, use or age. Neither does it
shrink. 1t is of great beauty, hard
ness and durability. In no other
wood can these qualities be found
combined with large size, uniformi-
ty of grain and richness of color and
figure.
The island timbers are eight to
ten feet in length by twelve inches
in diameter, some from Cuba, how
ever, reaching thirty-fve feet in
length by two feet in diameter Hon
duras squared timbers are as long as
forty feet by two feet in diameter,
and the three foot and four foot
timbers come from Mexico. The
softer mahogany comes from the
swampy lands. There are no ma
hogany forests. The trees are not
grouped that way, the individual
trees being more or less widely sep.
arated. Like other trees, the core
is the poorest part, often being
worthless.-Mississippi Valley Lum-

A HOLE IN THE GROUND.
Can We Build Ii or Must We Say That
We Diq It7

"Can we build a hole in the
ground?" asked man who takes an
interest in the words we use and the
changes which have taken place in
our language. 81 think not. Yet
we speak of building a canal, and
most persons understand thoroughly
what we mean. The word build
has undergone many changes, and it
now means many things. l said
Just now we could not build a hole
in the ground. 1 was thinking of
the purer meaning of the word build
when | said that. Of course we
can build hole in the ground.
Often when we dig we build We
build graves. I suppose it would
not be wholly wrong, in view of the
latter meaning of the word build
to speak of building a well or
ditch or any other thing which re-
quires digging and labor of con-
structive sort. Build apparently
comes from the Anglo-Saxon bold
meaning a house, a word of Scandi-
navian origin and formed by adding
ID to the Icelandic word 'bol,' which
means a house or farm. Skeat de-
clares the word is really Scandina-
Wan. The middle English-that is,
the English from the thirteenth to
the fifteenth centuries inclusive, for
the word build was 'bulden,' and
late Anglo Saxon gave it as 'byldan.'
ITO build was a more literal mean
ing Of 'bulden' and 'byldan.' The
word FboI s3 found in the old Swed-
ish, meaning a house, a dwelling,
while in Danish 'boP means a small
farm. The word 'bo' appears in old
Swedish, meaning to live, abide,
dwell. At any rate, the word build
has broken from its old moorings,
and since we understand what is
meant by the expression build ca
nal,' which is in its physical aspect
merely digging ditch or hole in
the ground, there can be no serious
! objection to the use of the word
build in this connection. Words
must change as men and conditions
change, and after all these changes
in the meaning of words form one
of the surest signs of the progress
we make" - New Orleans Times

The Last of Bill,
sage

The first football match for the
season in an English town being un-
der discussion, a member proposed
that at that game the players should
wear black bands on their jerseys,
out of respect for a certain Bill B.,
a popular member of the club who
had died some time before.
81 don't see as that's necessary"
objected another of the footballers,
"seein' as low Bill has been dead
this eight months. If we'd done it
at the time there'd "a been some
sense in it"
81 know all about that" argued
the proposer, ''but it's like this 'ere:
The ball we played with all last year
was blew up with Bills own breath,
and while we'd got that we none of
us looked ON Bill as bein' really
gone-hke, but the ball got busted al
practice last night, and bang went
poor ovid Bill, so to speak. That's
COW the matter stands. So I says

Half His Shirt.

They had finished the parish tea,
and the curate stood up to say
few words to the recipients before
they dispersed. He spoke in elo-
quent terms of the impecuniosity of
curates in general and then went on
to say in apparently touching tones,
"Why, even as I stand before you
now I have only half shirt to my
back" A few days later the rev.
erend gentleman received a parcel
containing half dozen new shirts,
accompanied by a card. bearing the
name of one of his fair parishioners.
At the earliest opportunity he called
upon the lady and thanked her for
her gift and then proceeded to ask
what had prompted the kind action.
"Why," she replied, ''you told us
the other night that you only had
half a shirt to your back" S'True, +"

A Remarkable Success.

showing a growth of over 80 per cent.
AS these figures represent the actu-
al net cash sale to readers-The Jour
nal not allowing any returns-they
are very significant. They show a
strong, reliable steady growth.
To make this growth possible, the
paper has been bettered In all possible
ways. Its news facilities and its de-
partments have been strengthened
and the aim has been at all times to
make a clever, readable, bright jour
nal, chock full of news.
Together with the strengthening of
the circulation of The Journal, the ad-
vertislDg has also been built up, until
today the cash receipts from advertis-
ing are stai ed by the managem' Mt of
the paper to be over go per cent more
than they were a year ago.
One of the most interesting new
features of theBostonJournali is the es-
tablishment of shopping bureau-an
idea ABSOLUTELY unique in newspaper
work anywhere. This was devised to
assist Journal readers in buying goods
from Journal advertisers when, from
bad weather, sickness or other hind
rance, the reader could not come to
Boston to shop. 1t las proved great
success, helping hundreds of readers
everywhere.
