THE DANDELIoN.

Adown the sunny meadow.
Along the mountain pass.
The dandelion's flaming,
A candle in the grass.
IL burns a. morn and noontide
Unwasted and undimmed.
And by no elm scissors
Its wick Is gayly trimmed
No zephyr light and airy
That dallies round about
This candle Of the grasses
Can ever blow IL out.
When al its gold has crunbled
And quite dissolved away
Along the meadow drifting
We note a gauzy spray.
That wrath like swiris and eddies
Across the sunny dell,
But 10 what fairy haven

PLOUGHING BY DAY AND NIGHT.
Use of Steam on Great Western Farms
Has Brought About Changes in
Farming.

The steam plough has become a
familiar object in western Kansas.
Managers of the big implement
houses in that state say that about
$50 outfits have been sold in the
past twelve months and that about
600 are in use on the western and
central Kansas plains wherever the
fields are large enough and the
ground level enough to permit
their operation.
All through the western portions
of the wheat belt big traction en-
gines with wheel tires a yard
wide are at work pulling the gang
ploughs and turning up the soil
at the rate of thirty acres a day,
with two men working each outfit.
These two men, working the old
way, could plough only about six
acres a day, so that the steam
plough has increased the efficiency
of labor fivefold in this one char
acter OF farm work.
These outfits cost about 81, 900,
but the expense of ploughing av-
9rages only about 40 cents an acre,
as compored with an expense of IS
cents to ST. an acre where the
work is done by a man with a
team. Therefore a farmer who
owns 1000 acres of wheat can
save enough i'll a few years to pay
for steam plough.
Kansas City dealers say that
about half the steam ploughs in
the west are owned by large far
mers, and the remainder belong to
threshing machine men, who run
the ploughs i'll the spring and the
late fall when they are not busy
threshing grain.
The rush to get the fall plough
ing finished while the ground is in
good condition has prompted some
farmers to run their steam ploughs
at night, with a great gIaring
headlight cleaning across the
fields, as we'll as in the daytime.

OOnt's for Green Hunters.

Cut this article out. Memorize
1t carefully. Garry it with you
when you start out for your hunt.
And read it over every day while
you are out.
Don't grasp a gun by the barrel
and drag it after you out of boat,
through fence or anywhere else:
unless you want to test the truth
of the saying that a fool has more
lives than a cat-and then don't.
One discharge may blow them all
out.
Don't carry more than small
quantity of whiskey with you on
your hunt. It's poor stuff to shoot
on, and the devil who engineers
the "deplorable accidents" you
read of daily while the hunting
season is on has no more potent
ally than the product of the still.
Don't under any circumstances
allow your gun muzzle to point
for one single moment at any liv-
ing thing you do not mean to kill.
Don't allow yourself to carry
cooked gun in your hands, not
even if you are alone. \ sudden
stumble may fire it; and you can
never tell where the contents may
go.
Don't carry loaded gun into
your camp or stopping place. And
be absolutely sure that every car
tridge is taken out of it before
you go near to the door.

Jones through the heart across his
own camp table had needed that

Don't shoot at small game, such
as rabbits, grouse or squirrels with

The man who shot at a rabbit
with high-power rifle last season
and killed a woodsman half mile
away has wished many a time
since that he had needed that

Don't go away from your camp

Don't go out without a good
supply of matches, part of them in

supply; a good, heavy hunting
knife, well-ground hunting axe

We knOto that our felt is right
because we make it in our own
mills established in 1Sl7.)
We make it because We cannot
buy a felt elsewhere good enough
for Paroid.
Other manufacturers who buy
their felt in the open market

necessarily take big chances at
the very start.
We couldn't give you the money

not make the complete roofing

ParOid roofing is not merely
dipped in q solution, but is soaked
in a water proOfing mixture Of
our own, which renders every
fibre of it-through and through
absolutely water proof.
And then the coating. Paroid
is coated on both sides with a
smoother, thicker, tougher and
more flexible coating than is on
any other roofing made.
There is no room for doubt
about it. You need not take our
word for it. Use your own judg-
ment. Compare Paroid with other
kinds. You will find that Pdroid
