Heavy Seed Crow. nest.

Experiments by the United States
Department Of Agriculture to test the
comparative results of using large or
heavy seed, and small and light seed,
resulted very much In favor of the
heavy seed, and demonstrated that the
difference was greater as the plants
approached maturity. Thus peas from
the larger seed began to blossom four
days earlier than those from small
seed, produced marketable peas four
days earlier, and the main crop five
to six days earlier Vines grew ranker,
pods were much larger. and there were
peas in much greater proportion from
larger seed than on the smaller.
Beans showed a similar result, both
as to size and earliness, and with Sew
eral other crops tested the growth of
the plant was much better from the
larger seed, exceeding the small as
three to two. The seed was all from
the same stock, grown in the same
piece and planted in sand in the green
house under identical conditions, as
far as could be given.

KIN Lake shore Drive plan.

The Legislature has put a final block
to the proposal to build sheridan drive
from Milwaukee TO Chicago along the
Lake Michigan shore, to include all of
the fashionable Chicago suburbs. A bill
was introduced at the beginning of the
session providing for the construction of
such a road, partly by taxation of the
counties through which il would pass.
Farmers were told the drive would aid in
improving the value of their property,
but they could not appreciate that argu-
ment as opposed to the proposed cost of
the undertaking. Senator Bishop of Ke-
nosha and Racine counties held primary
election to learn the feeling of his con
stituents and hardly vote was cast in
favor of the project

ish athletic contests of every character
from the colleges and universities of the
State for three years He is not opposed
to the athletic contests themselves, but
to the accessories, the betting and the
drinking and the college yells. DIR. Plantz
says that teo much time and too much
spirit are devoted to the yells and that
they often cause hard feelings between
the colleges and universities. DIR. Plantz
says he does not intend to prohibit ath-

other colleges and universities of the
State should do likewise, but he believes
that if all were to do away with the con
tests until a new generation appears in
the schools stringent rules could then be
adopted which would revolutionize and

Foods for stock.

To feed live stock intelligently does
not require a farmer to be a scientist,
yet he should endeavor to familiarize
himself with some of the terms used
10 classify the different qualities of
food for stock. Farmers do not appre-
ciate such expressions as 'albumi-
roids' 'carbo- hydrates,Y etc. Yet, aft
er all, the modes of expression are sim
pie, and embody nearly all the consti-
tutional elements that enter into foods
grown upon the farm for stock feeding.
Some foods are fat producing, such as
opment of muscle, bone and nerves.
such as clover. All foods are classified
under appropriate heads, each ranking
in proportion to its nitrogen, carbon
and mineral ash Thus, in order to
arrange together those foods that are
heterogeneous or muscle producing, the
term "albuminoids" Is employed, be-
cause the nitrogen is nearly always In
combination in the form of albumen.
The "carbo-h ydrates," or heat-produc-
ing substances, are those rlcn IN SIarcn
and sugar, and starch and sugar con-
tain a large proportion Of carbon, as
well as oxygen and hydrogen (water).
The term applied illustrates the value
of the food as well as its composition.
The base of all heterogeneous foods is
protein. When it is known that GER
tain foods contain fibrin, gelatin. albu-
men or casein, which are found in all
animal and vegetable organisms, the
fact that nitrogen is present is made
plain, because that element is necessary

derstood that foods contain starch,

they must also Of necessity contain

THING THAT COUNTS is COMMON SENSE

I have come to the conclusion, not
very original one, perhaps. that the
keynote Of our existence is common
sense. and that the reason why so
many likes are like sweet bells jan
gled out of tune" is that there Is never
enough Of this invaluable commodity
to go around.
Common sense consists chiefly in go
ing. ahead and minding ones business,
net to the entire exclusion OF the
neighbors or the disregard of society,
but keeping in view the fact that ones
own family and household Is the I'm
portant thing to him. There are very
few of US who can do more for t.Ie
world than behave ourselves and bring
up a respectable family. Come to think
Of 1t, this is a good deal, and more
than many people accomplish.
OF all things utterly devoid of COM
mon sense, that which we call society
Is most so. There is no telling just
how far cortst.-y to common sense this
element will go if allowed to take its
OWL road and all for the reason that
common sense people. being gifted
with that most lovable quality, reti-
cence, will sit back and let it go on

he recognized his own little Trippstrilla,
for that she had always done, even
when she was fat and round.
He took her over to the house. where
there was great shouting and rejoicing
over the return Of the dear lost friend.
The children took her to bed with them
and Rugged and kissed her and asked
her where she had been. Although
Trippstrilla was meowing loud, they did
not understand her language and could
not tell what she meant. But the mother
guessed it. She brought Trippstrilla a
cup of milk. That delighted her so she
made one jump out Of bed and Tapped it
up to the last drop, for such a thing she
never had at the fox's.
And then it came about that Tripp-
strilla accepted only milk from the mis-
tress. The meat she caught herself.
Soon was the whole farm free from mice.
Then Trippstrilla went about the neigh
borhood, where she had all the hunting
she wanted and where she was treated
with sweet milk. Yet she was faithful
to her master. She lived in the kitchen,
helped her mistress TO spin, played with
the children and ever satisfied the peas
ant, her dear master, with her truly
great Accomplishment of hunting.
