A Contrary Flag.

II ever there was anything In the
world that went by contraries, 1t is
the Chinese flag. 1t will be recalled
that it is one Of the gayest Of national
standards. The body of the banner Is
OF a pale yellow. In the upper left
hand corner is small red sun, and
looking at 1t Is fierce Chinese dragon.
About 1000 years ago, so the story
runs, the Chinese made war upon the
japanese. They prepared for great
Invasion. AS a prophecy Of victory
they adopted standard which Is that
Of the present time. They took the
sun OF Japan and made 1t very small.
This they put In front Of the dragons
mouth to express the idea that the
Chinese dragon would devour the Jap
anese. 1t happened, however, that the
Chinese fleet. conveying an army Of
100000 men. was wrecked on its way
to Japan by a great storm, and all but
three Of the 100000 perlshed. The re-
suit Of recent events has not been any
more convincing than the first affair
that the Chinese flag has been cor.

Poultry Notes.

Quality is not always indicated by
size in the poultry business.
It takes hard work to get the best
results in the poultry business.
The hen and the COW are the farm

Refrigerators do not make good hen
houses-neither do houses full OF
cracks.
Wood shavings make excellent
nests and are not likely to become in

Humor In the Far East.

Abdur Rahman. the late ameer of AZ
ghanistan, had grim sense Of humor
which was sometimes exercised with
out scruple. On one occasion dur
bar he was holding was interrupted by
a man who, In a state of the greatest
excitement, rushed in declaring that
the Russians were advancing to invade
Afghanistan. Turning aside for mo-
,ment from the business In progress.
the late ameer In the most unconcerned
tones ordered his shahgassi to conduct
the man to the summit of certain

the Russians" commanded Abdur Rah-
man, "for yon do not eat until you see
them arrive."-Grand Magazine.

AN OLD GERMAN LEGEND.
The Skull with the Nail Driven

Through Its Temple.
At Freiburg, Baden, in front Of an
old chapel rich In medieval painting
depicting the rewards of virtue and
the wages Of sin, stands great cross,
at Its foot skull with nail driven
into the temple.
A shoemaker of Freiburg, according
to tradition, died suddenly In the good
old days before coroners and juries
were too inQuisitive and was buried
near where the cross stands. Scarcely
had the earth upon his grave been wet
by the rains before his wife took a sec
ond husband.
Neighbors talked, but that was all.
One night the priest Of the parish
awoke to find standing at the foot Of
his bed the ghost Of the dead shoc-
maker. The shastly figure raised .
CORY lock from Its forehead and point
cd to nail driven In the temple.
The body was exhumed. and there
was the evidence Of the crime just az
the specter had indicated. The wife
confessed the murder and was execut-
ed. But the skull was placed at the
foot Of the cross az warning.
"The effect was most wholesome" !"
relates the truthful chronicler, "for
since then not wife of Freiburg has
murdered her husband"

THE INCUBATOR.
Rules to be Observed for Successful
Operation.

In choosing the incubator You will
use, do not be altogether, or mostly,
governed by prices. Get what seems
to you to be the best, and pay what
ever price is necessary to get 1t. DO
not let any one talk you into any other
course, says the Indianapolis News.
OF all the necessary equipment for
poultry production, this stands first
in Importance, and much of your sue
cess will depend upon the intelligent
selection of a Matching machine.
When the machine arrives, uncrate
It carefully. Put together the different
parts according to the directions. II
you have bought good machine the
printed instructions FOR setting up and
starting will be ample There are a
few common sense points, however.
which will serve to save time and
labor.
Put the incubator in a cellar or
temperature and good ventilation.
Even TIE best machines will do better
work in such place than when sub
iected to sudden and severe changes.
The eggs. also will suffer less from
abrupt and frequent variations while
turning. Keep the lamp wicks clean
and trim as often as necessary to do
this. Trimming every day is unnec-
essary. With good oil, every third
day is often enough.
Do not fuss too much over the tenn
perature. 1t can vary a degree or two
either way and do no harm. The eggs
may run as low as so degrees for
some hours and then hatch well. Be-
ware of overheating. 1t is more un.
latural, and, hence. more harmful.
The very best advice is to do the nee
essary work expeditiously. keep the
lamp clean, the room we'll aired, and
forget to putter and worry.

THE CHILD's MIND.
aive IL q Chance TO Develop by It's
Natural Processes.


The littler they are the better, be-
cause farther removed from the world
that is ours and deeper placed in their
own world A good baby radiates
peace. Every one who Is rightly con-
stituted smiles at the sight of 1t.
They are busy, they are cheerful.
As rule, they seem to be kind to one
another. They are not bored, and un-
less the weather Is insufferable or they
are sick they are not depressed.
What philosophers What heroes!
Is 1t strange that the attitude Of an
unperverted child should be the Chris
tan ideal?
The great merit of children as COM
panions lies In the breadth of their
tolerations. They are easy to please,
agreeable to most propositions and not
very critical.
They do not "know better" That Is
one Of their delightfulest traits. Chill
dren will trust you, and that Is one Of
the most gratifying compliments pos
sible.
In the company Of children you have
relief In considering what will pay.
The things that they do and prefer to
do. do not pay. as rule. except In the
doing of them.
Wise elders who are qualified to
train the mind Of a child are pretty
scarce. The next best thing is the
elder who is wise enough to respect
the child's mind and give 1t a chance
to develop In a sympathetic atmos-
phere by Its own natural processes.

culIInq Out.

II breeders OF poultry would be
more hard.hearted when culling out
the flock they would make greater
progress In their breeding toward a
high mark. Every poor bird left In
the flock helps pull down the average
quality Of the birds that are to be
produced In the future. The greatest
trouble In the culling is that many
poultry raisers do not haye an ideal
before them that Is definitely outlined.
Therefore they do not know Just when
to draw the line In their culling oper-
ations. The culled out birds can al
ways be disposed OF at fair prices,
even II they have to be used on the
family table.

BREAD MADE or ruRHua

Na- ~
Excellent Substitute Found IT Tire
Of Wheat Crop Failure.
What might In all seriousness be
classed among the "lost arts" Is tho
varied use Of vegetables The pres
emit generation eats them either raw
or simply cooked, the most complex
preparation being In the form Of pie
or pudding. A century ago man multi
piled their uses with. great deal Of
wisdom and ingenuity. From the Chi
nese radish was drawn superior oil,
excellent for table use as well as for
light and medicinal purposes. The
parsnip furnished a delectable wine,
while from the fresh starch Of pota-
toes was made a good size, which by
mixture with chalk formed an excel
lent material for stucco workers.
The most noteworthy use Of vegeta.
bles, however, seems to have been In
the making of bread. At time Of fail
ure In the wheat crop it was demon
strated that good bread could be made
from turnips. They are first prepared
as vegetable, cleaned and cooked in
the usual way. When mashed a great
er part Of the water is pressed out Of
them and the pulp then mixed with
an equal quantity in weight of wheat
meal. The dough is set to rise with
yeast and then treated in the usual
manner-kneaded, made into loaves and
baked. The bread is found to be lit
tie sweeter than the regulation kind,
but fully as light and white. If cut
Immediately it will taste Of the turnip,
but to no disagreeable extent, while in
twenty-four hours after baking all
trace Of the vegetable will have disap-
peared.
If turnips can be used for bread,
why not parsnips, carrots, potatoes, Or
any farinaceous tuber? The potato
pudding and the sweet potato pie have
very little taste Of the respective roots
from which they are made, and this
quality should be still less noticeable
In the case of hrna6
