NEW BEAUTY OF HoLLYHocK
An OId-Fashioned Flower that Has
Lately Come Into New
Favor.

A city man. who saw IN front Of a place
where Towering plants were offered for
sale a placard reading, ''Hoilyhocks,- was
a little surprised thereat. because he had
had an idea that the hollyhock was a
lonely, old-fashioned flower peculiar 20
older times and to the country and TO
smaller towns and villages. He remem-
bered himself a time when. in such local.
ties. pretty much everybody had holly
hooks. perhaps a row Of them along on
either side OF a garden path, or such rows
bordering the walk from the street TO the
front door OF the house. And he recalled
how the bees used to get into hollyhoclSs,
and how he used TO close up a flower with
a bee in IL and break the flower from the
stalk and hold it up TO his ear to hear the
Imprisoned bee buzz.
And this man had always liked the tail
hollyhock with its big. bright flowers. but
he had suppOsed-this, perhaps because he
lives In the city-tha1 the homely old plant
had sort Of passed out OF fashion until
he saw that placard reading, "HollyhoclSs,' %
and then he learned that in recent years
there has been. in a way, a hoIlyhock re-
vfval, and that now hollyhocks are In de-
nand and increasing in favor.
There would still be found. Il was said.
in places such as those in which the in
quirer had once seen them. the old-fash-
ioned hollyhocks. planted and growing now
as ever, though they might now In such
places not be seen so commonly, but there
we're now more varieties Of hollyhocks,
and these newer or comparatively newer
varieties, are now to be seen in many
try estates, used IN the places last men
toned as adornments OF perennial flower
beds. or it might be as hedges.
The old-fashioned single hollyhocks may
stiII be bought but the newer double holly
hooks are the kinds now most in demand.
and there Is now what is called an ever
Towering hoIlyhoclx. this because Il blooms
through the season. while the old holly
hook blossomed for time only and then
ceased. And while the cld-fashioned holly
hook had its flowers simply scattered along
at intervals up its stalk. there are newer
hoIlyhocks that have masses OF flowers
reaching TO the ground.
Taking their kinds and coIors. there are
now a score or more Of varieties OF the
hollyhock Not all OF these are TO be relied
upon for color. the flowers Of the ever
blooming hoTyhock. for instance. which is
a sort OF a double hoilyhOck now cult
waited. may come in OF one tint OF color
and deepen 70 another. but there are holly
hooks that are true to color, ard so ii is
possible to get hollyhocks in one or an
other color as they may be desired.
People buy hOIlyhOek seeds and plant
them TO come 10 maturity and into blossom
the secoEd year. and on large estates the
gardener may cultivate such hollyhocls
as are required; but those who don't want
70 wait for the seeds TO grow buy holly
hook plants. which viii come into fun
growth and flower In the season OF their
planting. And such plants are not expen
sive those OF the finest varieties costing,
say, - cents apiece or g a dozen.

FARMERS BUNCOED.
Bogus Stock Food Costing ST to
So Per Hundred Sold tor
Seven to Fourteen Times
That Sum.

lies Moines, Iowa, Jan. 26.-That
the farmers of Iowa are paying as
high as $l4 for stock for foods that
have no value at all or at best only a
value of 81 or So is the claim that the
committee of the board of directors
Of the department of agriculture at a
joint meeting to be held soon. When
the committees are brought together
the results Of the chemical analysis
Of all the patent stock foods on the
market will be laid before them. An
attempt will be made to show them
that none of the stock foods have any
value as stock food, but can be OBJ
tanned by the farmer at very much
cheaper rate by buying the ordinary
grains that are fed to stock. These
facts will be disclosed in an attempt
to get through the bill providing for
state inspection of stock foods as we'll
as agricultural seeds.
The chemical analysis discloses that
bone stock food that is widely adver-
tised and is sold for $l4 per 100 pounds
is made up of bran, milling offal, COM
mon salt pepper, charcoal, chaff, hulls
and some seeds that have no particu-
lar value. Veterinary surgeons claim
that this compound has no value other
than the small amount Of protein in
the bran and milling offal which as
stock food is worth about 81 per 100
pounds.
Another is made up ofS1.S4 per cent
ashes and the rest is vetenian red and
lime. There is absolutely no value to
the food, yet it sells for $6 per 100
pounds. Another is made up of lin
seed meal common salt, charcoal and
some weeds, the linseed meal being
the only thing of value and yet it
sells at a high price. Another is
made of 64.49 per cent ashes and char
coal stibnite dried blood, copper sui
phate epson salts, common salt, cat
hulls and refuse, and sells Sc per 100
pounds.
The various weed seeds, charcoal,
salts and the like are put into the
stock foods to give them a smell and
taste that will deceive the farmer,
the bran or chaff being the basis for
the food.

The Farm of the Future.

place have likewise passed away. Nor
is there an ash heap anywhere about,
To this farmer coal is too expensive,
especially when he knows that he
uses less than 10 per cent of the heat
it generates and that for every ton he
buys he pays for 80 per cent Of waste.
How about kerosene or coal oil or
whatever you choose to call it? What
is the use OF my paying freight from
the oil refinery and helping the trust
to make profit when l can get
something better for my purpose
right at homer"
This reply may not convince, be-
cause as yet we have not had chance
to see for ourselves; but now we will
start, beginning at the farmhouse.
The reason why no smoke comes from
the chimney is because the housewife
is getting dinner on stove burning
alcohol-merely turn of valve con-
trolling the supply and the contract
of the match flame; that's all. Here
and there are lamps which, when
lighted at dusk, give out such a bril-
liant yet even illumination that the
ordinary gas jet is a mere glimmer in
contrast. Spirit furnishes the light.
Over in the barn stands the familiar
tanning mill for cleaning grain, but
no one turns the crank that revolves
it's blades. The farmer simply throws
over the handle of an electric switch,
and the mill begins humming merry
tune in unison with the clicking Of
the feed cutter, which is also actuat-
ed by the same invisible force. Nor
does the farmer depend on the breeze
to pump his water. The motor-driven
pump keeps it flowing in steady
stream from the we'll even into the
tank on the roof Of his home, where
it is ever ready to extinguish fires and
let's him save on his insurance prem
iums. In the orchard the press is
squeezing the juice out of the apples,
without touch of the hand. The
hay press does its work mechanically
with just boy to feed it.
If we happen to be on the place at
butter making time we see the cream
separators and churns doing their
duty independently of the housewife,
who only looks into the creamery now
and then to see how things are get
ting on. The farmer may have horses
but not for field work because he finds
he can do much more with motor
machinery at the same expense. Even
his plows and cultivators are pull
ed by the traction engine with which
he runs his harvester and thrasher.
Here the engine must communicate
its power directly to the farm mech
anism; but if he desires he can oper-
ate the tanning mill the separator
and other appliances in the house and
barn from one source of power, using
the electric current which he can

Things the Women Never DO.

Yesterday we were asked if we ever
saw a bald-headed woman. We
answered NO." we never did nor
did we ever see woman waltzing
around town in her shirt sleeves with
cigar in her teeth and running into
every joint she saw. We have never
seen woman so a-fishing with a
bottle in her pocket, sit on the damp
ground al day and come home drunk
at night. Nor have we ever seen a
woman yank off her coat and say she
could lick any man in town.-Soldier

Law Makers Have Troubles.

An Aberdeen communication to
the St. Paul Dispatch tells OF Sena-
tor Lincoln's experience at Pierre,
but he seems to have been able to
escape fairly well under the circum-
stances. The Aberdeen correspond
ent says:
State Senator Isaac Lincoln, in
breaking into his new role OF legis-
lator, soon went up against the in
evitable woman lobbyist few days
ago at the capitol, and bore the at
tentions of those well-meaning but
fussy bill pushers with his usual gen.
Utility, until the last straw arrived.
All Pierre is laughing about his ex-
perience. These women had num-
ber of hobbies to ride, but the princi-
pal one is woman's suffrage. Three
of them concerned Mr.. Lincoln, one
advancing from the front and the
other two conducting flank move
ments with success. With the three
facing and thanking him and the
wall behind him he was up against it.
One of the women opened the wire
pulling by asking the senator If he
would help them secure the passage
of an anti-cigarette bill.
'If did, madam" explained Mr..
Lincoln, 81 would never dare go
home again. The Russians in Brown
county would murder me-"
..,
This statement evidently settling
his vote on that measure, the woman
turned her attention to other legisla-
tion, and suggested that the senator
could support their an ti-saloon bill.
The senator put that aside also with
the statement that he could not do
it as there are eighteen saloons in
Aberdeen now, and there will soon be
twenty-two; SO he had to pass on
that. Then the woman started in
earnestly on the woman's suffrage
matter. She attempted to appeal to
the heart throbs of the senator and
opened by saying:
'Mr. Lincoln, do you want Mrs.
Lincoln to vote?"
Mr.. Lincoln then awoke to the
seriousness Of the matter, and blurt-
ed out just as earnestly: Good
Lord, woman, no! She's demo-
Crat,''

The most Interesting and impressive
play of life In the Southland, extant
to-day. Is undoubtedly Lottie Blair
Parker's play, Under Southern
Skies" This play has been firmly
established in popular favor during
the FIVE years that it mas toured the
country. and the popularity of its
first visits seem to increase, as the
years pass by. Mrs. Parker has wise.
ly refrained from any reference to
the civil war, although the period in
which the play is laid closely follow
ed the days Of reconstruction. Fur.
thermore, there Is not u nortnerner,
moonshiner. or In fact any OF the clap
trap characters that are generally in.
troduced into southern plays as a bid
for applause. Mrs. Parker tells n
story of southern home life showing
various characters THAI are familiar
to Louisiana, the locality of the scenes
Of the play. and VINO, therefor At nat
urally into the grooves assigned them.
Mrs. Parker achieved much fame az
a playwright with "way Down East"
but in Under Southern Skies" she
has surpassed her former effort. For
ingenuity. strength and brilliancy,
Under Southern Skies is a marvel
of stage craft done by master hand
in stage adroitness. The characters
are flrely drawn. the dialogue is crisp
and Understandable, the human In
terest is absorbing, the comedy charm.
