Are you hungry"
There are several forms of hunger"
the man continued, speaking almost to
himself. "The hunger for food-that's
natural the hunger for human sympa-
thy-that's unnatural. I've suffered
from both, and 1 know which is the
worst"
Evidently the boy could not quite
grasp the drift of this part Of his COM
panion's speech, and his mind reverted
to the beginning.

HE fights wars. He's seen lots of men
die in battles. That's how I'm going
to die when l grow up"
The man laughed quietly to him
self.
An honor for which 1 have striven
in vain," he murmured sadly. "They
say that every bullet has its billet
now" and again his hand wandered to
his breast pocket.

of satisfaction, swinging his legs to

Whitewash for wood.

1 pound common glue and dissolve
with hot water, making q paste Of -four
and starch. Mix all three hot; add 1
pound of salt, dissolved, and then
make gallons Of whitewash the or
binary way, except Stacking the lime
with hot water, covering the vessel
during the Stacking. Mix the whole
hot and apply hot to the surface of the
wood. If too much for your vessel to
hold, divide after mixing on stirring,
and use as much or little as you choose,
but apply hot, and | believe you will
find it will not rub off or make the
blacklist garments show any of the
white by rubbing against it. 1t will
stick, and the cost is small; if not
applied too thick, but giving two coats,
it will look as well as paint.

Treating San Jose Scale.

The aggressive orchardists of Mary

scale, but in a number of localities this
pest affords serious difficulties. Wher-
ever Usage orange hedges become in
Tested the difficulty of Graduating the
San Jose scale is increased.
A number of experiments were tried
by the Maryland Station with differ
ent insecticides in combating the pest.
Lime and sulphur mixtures were used
containing from 20 to 80 pounds of
lime and from Is to % pounds of sui
phur per 80 gallons Of water. The
lime-sulphur-sal mixture, tested by
the authors, was made according to the
formula 20-15-1O-50. Lime-sulphur-
caustic soda preparations were also
employed, as we'll as a mixture con-
tanning 10 pounds of sulphur and 10
pounds of caustlc soda per so gallons
of water.
In most cases the weaker lime-sul-
phur preparations were about as eff
fective as the stronger, but in a few
instances an increased effectiveness
was noticed where 35 pounds of lime
and 80 pounds of sulphur were used
per 90 gallons of water. Perfectly sat
isfactory results were obtained from
the use Of lime sulphur-salt, and lime
sulphur-caustic soda also proved fair
ly effective. The sulphur-caustic-sod soda
mixture was not so satisfactory. Kero-
sene limoid did not prove to be good
substitute for lime-sulphur. Certain
proprietary remedies were tested and
notes were given on the preparation of
the various insecticides which were
used.

He glanced affectionately at the toy
sword which lay across his knees. Il

man, pretending to fall in with the
lads enthusiasm.

That's the fun. I've lost the main
body. But" he added eXultingly, 1--WE

two ragged urchins who were curiously
watching them at a safe distance. The
man nodded. They are part Of the

them throwing stones at dog in the
pond the dog was their CATTLE you

II surrounded them, and then l
charged. Oh my eye, they did run"
And, as If inspired by the remem-
brance of his former bloodless victory,
he drew the sword from It's scabbard
with a flourish and half descended
from the seat, whereat the two urchins
promptly disappeared.
That's the worst Of the enemy" he
said, getting back to his seat with an
air OF disappointment. "They always

The man shook his head sadly.
"Ah" he said. Il have fought them,

Managing Bees,

It is always best to start with a full
colony of bees, and one that is in
every respect in first-class condition.
1t is true that one can buy a part of
a colony for less money, but it is the
dearest in the long run, and more IL
able to be a failure. A strong colony
- bees in one season is capable of stOr
g 100 or 200 pounds of honey; be
aes, they may swarm and make from
one to two colonies. Bees should al
ways be in a condition to take care of
themselves, and do not require such
difficult manipulation as that of a nu
cleus, or pounds, of bees, and queen,
etc, as full and strong colonies are
now sent in the ordinary hives used
in the aplary, and are equipped with
the necessary fixtures to have every
thing in working order the moment the
bees are located and the entrance omen

case the wood portion of the silo rises
"a or more feet above the stone work
and the diameter is more than 10 feet
it will be best to stay the top OF the
wall in some way. If the woodwork
rises from the outer edge Of the wall
then building the wall up with cemenr
so as to cover the sill will give the
needed strength, because the woodwork
will act as a hoop; but if the silo
stands at the inner face of the wall
it will be best to lay pieces of iron

required for strength, but they ara

OUR NATIVE TONGUE.
European Peoples Have Little Love
for English Language.

European Peoples Have Little Love
for English Language.
The people Of Continental Europe
who are under the necessity Of learning
the English language have little affec-
ton for it. It's complicated origin has
laden 1t with an immense number Of
inconsistencies, contradictions and dup
locations, and above all with an irreg-
ular and ineXplicable system of spell
ing-a system that is just now receiv-
ing the attention Of our own reformers.
Germans are accustomed to speak
Of the English language as "a monster
having two mouths, with one of which
it speaks German and with the other
Latin"
Tie Slavonic peoples Of central and
western Europe, who by reason Of the
fact that they have been compelled to
learn many languages, and are there
fore great linguists, have a legend to
account for the inconsistencies Of Eng
fish which is yet more uncompliment-
airy than the German animadversion
against our mother tongue.
This legend Is to the effect that when
the Almighty created the nations he
gave men no tongues at all. When
they came and dumbly begged for them,
he compassionately took a piece Of
meat and cut it into slices, giving each
one a slice to serve as a tongue.
This arrangement served we'll
enough; but, when the Englishman,
who had either lazily or contemptu-
ously failed to arrive sooner, came and
demanded his piece, there was none
left. Accordingly the Diety called back
the men Of other nations, and slicing
from each Of their tongues a little bit,
he put them all together to make a
tongue for the Englishman. And this
is why the English continue to the
present day to speak In such q tumble.
Students have averred that this
story, originally heard In Croatia, Is SO
close a representation in allegory of
the actual facts In the origin Of the
English language, that It has a made
up air. 1t is, nevertheless, picturesque
and interesting.

INDIAN DIVORCES.

Picturesque Names Brighten tie Rec
ord of Their Mari al SuRerings.
Z Now that the Indians of the West
have been educated up to the stand
ard of suing for divorce the same as
their pale-faced brothers and sisters,
there will be an added picturesqueneSs
in the reports Of such cases, due to
the popularity Of the Indian names.
At present there are 20 cases pending
before the Circuit Court at Bonesteel,
S. D., and we learn from them that
the Indian Cupid has much the same
troubles as the whfte-winged god.
One of the cases is that Of James
Ghost Hawk, who sues his clipping
wife, Bessie, who walked off with
Walking Soldier, brave of the Crow
Greek reservation. He also asks the
custody of his child, MoIlie Three
Thighs Ghost Hawk.

Muskrat, who alleges that her mecca
sined master eloped with Flora Walks
As-She-J Jumps. She wants q decree of
alimony of 10 ponies and the restora-
ton Of her inspiring maiden name,
Alice High Kicker.
Poor Man Star Boy is another In
dian who is in trouble. His wife, Jen-

a witness of this base desertion he has

a coffin when she was sick and made
preparations for her funeral
Josephine fooled him by getting
well, which so incensed Dog Soldier
that he broke her leg, threatened to
kill her and finally drove her from tho
tepee. Dog Soldier was enamored Of
another woman, who rejected his suit
when she learned what he had done
to Josephine.
Holy Track, a cOmely squaw, alleges
that her husband, Never Stampede, be-
lied his name and stampeded with
Anna Buffalo Pipe and never came

Driver, Three Toes and One Tail.

Fighting Weeds.

If the labor annually bestowed In the
endeavor to eradicate weeds could be
applied at the proper times not only
would the nuisance be removed, but
the labor lessened. In the case Of
weeds the slightest amount Of labor
saved in emitting to kill them when II
should be done entails greater labor at
other times. Nor is all labor on weeds
lost. During the eradication or de-
struction Of weeds the regular crops
may be cultivated and the land put in
better condition. One of the greatest
mistakes is in not destroying the weeds
when they first appear. 1t Will require
less labor to destroy a hundred weeds
when they are young than to kill=a-
single plant after it has made conSid-
cradle growth, to say nothing of the
fact that every weed that reaches ma
turity and produces seeds leaves great
er work to be done afterward. AL
though farmers are busiest in spring.
yet by properly preparing the land for
the intended crop they gain time. For
a year or two the farmer may find 1t
difficult work combating weeds, but
the time so devoted will be regained
folrfold in after years. Weeds can
best be destroyed when rotation is
used, and the ground should be plowed
for corn early enough in the spring to
allow of the sprouting Of weed seeds.
This sprouting of the weed seeds is the
most important part of the process, and
the farmer should be willing to per-
