A well-known authority on Rheuma-

Oxeryxorked Scales.

This is the time of year when the
family grocer's platform scales are
made to work overtime by the return
ing vacationists. Thin women want to
see how much they have gained" and
stout women how much they have sue
ceeded in 'loSihg' by their summers
holiday. And this is also the time OF
year when the scalemaker's ears must
tingle at the kind and unkind things
said Of his wares.
The things a stout woman will say
about a poor. defenseless set of scales
would spoil the temper of the steel in
the balance if it wasn't so indifferent
to such things. And the manner in
which a fat woman will deceive her
self about the difference In her weight
with heavy clothes on to protect her
self against the cold of a mountain re-
sort, and the lighter ones she dons
when she strikes the heat Of the city,
is one of the constantly recurring evi.
dences of the eternal feminine vanity,

Jack London has been riding the surf

from his article on that subject in the
Woman's Home Companion:
"Astride of our surf boards, or, rath-

achs, we padded out through the kim
dergarten where the little Kanaka boys
were at play. Soon we we're out In
deep water where the big smokers came

them, facing them and padding sea-

as she gave us last year three new va
rieties of alfalfa and a clover that will
grow in our coolest climates. One Of
our experts was in Tomsk looking for
the new alfalfa that would survive
weather far below zero to use in our
northwest. The suffering endured by
farmers in North Dakota and Montana
last winter on account of the scarcity

or providing some other kind of fuel

US that large sections of Siberia must
experience similar conditions. SO our

Science and education are doing

Il have noticed the wave of emigra-

to the Canadian northwest. Land hung
er is the cause of it. When / first
went to Iowa to live we paid SIPS per
acre for our land. That was the gov
eminent price To-day farm land there
Is worth 500 an acre. The man of
small means cannot acquire the amount
lie desires. Canada offers his cheap
farms. He sells his possessions In the
United States and goes across the Dor
der. The proceeds of his 10 acres here
enables him to buy 100 acres there.
But this migration, think, is ut its
height.

west limits the productivity OF the
farm in variety. Wheat must be the
farmers main dependence there. He
cannot grow corn. Cattle and dairy
products will help out some. When the

States will continue TO be the great

of fish In lnclosed waters. For many

The Color of Eggs.

1t has been definitely demonstrated
that the food a hen eats has an infiu-
ence upon the color Of the yolks Of her
eggs. Corn, for instance, II fed In
large amounts, or as the exclusive
grain, colors the yolks of eggs highly,
making them n deep yellow, whereas
wheat fed exclusively makes light col
ored yolks. Oats seem TO be medium
between corn and wheat in this respect.
Not only does the feed have an infiu-
ence on the color of the yolks of eggs,
but it also has an inruence upon the
color of the flesh. Oats and wheat
have a tendency to produce white flesh
in chickens.

Wild pigeons and common pigeons

are never so large or so desirable for

pigeons. It always pays best to obtain
the finest and largest producing stock
possible, and the homing pigeons seem

When starting in the pigeon business,
It would be rather expensive to pur-
chase 100 to 500 pairs. 1t will scarcely
be likely that one unfamiliar with the
work would be able to handle so many.
You had better start IN with twelve
to twenty-four pairs and practice with
these the first year. Keep for breeders
the following season all that you can
grow from these. Gain the experience
at as little cost as possible and secure
more cheaply than you could purchase
