der to escape the confusion, which is
very wearing to a person whose nerves
are as sensitive as. mine, i decided to
make the Hollister girls visit. They
live in such quiet little suburb that
I knew 1t would be Just as much OF a
change and rest as would be getting
into the real country and a great deal
cheaper.
While 1 was expecting the simple
life l certainly was not prepared for

from town for reasons Of economy, but

a WEDDING CAKE FOR A PRIN-

Dear boys and girls: There is moth
ing better in the world than being a
happy American girl. unless 1t is be-
ing an American boy. AT any rate,
nc. girl in the United States need
fear being obliged to swallow dish
like. that which the young Princess
Marie, OF Edinburgh, had to partake
of when she married the Grown Prince
of Roumania, and made her first
entry in Bucharest. I
An old custom prescribes that on
the arrival Of a new Grown Princess
at the capital, peasants shall present
to her the national dish, a cake COM
posed of garlic, pigs blood. honey and
bean flour. 1t is baked In wood
ashes; and not to partake freely Of
this dainty would give mortal offense
to the young brides future subjects.

Feeding Prlckly Pear to stock.

Feeding Prickly Pear to Stock.
A bulletin by the United States De.
partment of Agriculture, Bureau OF
Animal Industries contains notes on
the forms Of prickly pear and gives
the results Of feeding tests with COW.
and steers. The method of feeding this
plant was that commonly employed up
OH ranches in Southern Texas, where
tile experiments were conducted.
In tests with two cows prickly peat
was compared with sorghum hay. The
complete data, including weather cb
servations, are reported. "a full rough.
age ration of pear with a constant
grain ration appears to yield fully as
good results as full roughage ration
of sorghum hay. The records are resllly
a little more favorable to the pear ra-
tlon." The prickly pear ration, includ.
Ing twelve pounds of rice bran and
three pounds Of cottonseed meal, cost
1905 cents per COW daily. This allowed
for the labor and gasoline required in
smuggling the cactus. 1t is stated that
prickly pear has been fed to dairy
herd for two to four months each year
for six or eight years with no COM
plant from customers which could in
any way be attributed to pear feeding.
A lot Of twenty seven steers was kept
in four-acre feeding lot aud fed
chopped prickly pear with cottonseed
meal. The largest and most woody
plants available were selected, chopped
without smuggling, and fed in troughs
early in the morning and about the
middle of the afternoon. The cotton
seed meal was sprinkled on the chopped
prickly pear. The average daily gain
in the los days Of the test was 1.75
pounds per head, 5000 pounds of prick
ly pear and 2.5 pounds of cottonseed
meal. at a total cost of 3.4S cents, being
required per pound of gain. When
shipped to market the average shrink
age per steer was $50 pounds.

1000 pullet. In One House.

Professor Gowell, Of the Maine ex-
pertinent station, on his farm, kept
1000 pullets in one house, on an area
of 4OOx2OO feet, or little over two
acres. Each fowl had four feet space
of house room, which would naturally
be considered rather limited quarters,
and was only made possible by having
them in large fiocks and curtain-front
house. These pullets laid from 600 to
900 eggs per day during December and
January. If 1000 laying hens can,i as
has been demonstrated, be successfully
kept on about two acres Of land, then
FIVE acres are capable Of supporting a
complete plant for 1000 hens and grow
ing stock to renew the layers, and such
n plant with proper management,
should pay from $1,000 to $1,000 per
annum net profit. 1t is only necessary
that the man have the ability.

GAME OF FOX AND GEESE.
This is game played on check
er board with four white men for
the geese and one black man fop the
fox. Two players only can play this
game, and the object is for the one
who plays the geese to block the fox
in the corner, while the fox tries,
to take from the board as many of
the geese as possible, or to keep out
of. their way.
The geese are placed on four al
ternate squares on the side of the
board next the player who takes the
geese. and the fox is placed by its
player on any other square on the
board that is the same color as those
chosen by the player of the geese.
as at checkers.
The fox can move both backward
and forward, but the geese can only
move forward. The geese move first,
after which each player moves in
turn.
The player Of the geese should do
his best Ito keep them in a straight
line, making their movements at that
point of the board farthest from that
where the fox is stationed, and thus
prevent the fox breaking through.
The fox must, of course, take i'm
mediate advantage of the first chance
to slip through the enemy's ranks

JAYS DEvOUR MOCKING BIRDS.
Mr.. S. P. Carpenter, of No. 1926 FL
hott street, is authority for the fact
that blue Jays will kill young mock
ing birds. The old mocking birds built
nest in tree near his residence
and were raising family Of three
young Knockers. One day recently
blue jay called during the absence
of the parent birds and proceeded to
destroy the children and was only
prevented from doing SO by the time
ly arrival of Mr.. Carpenter, who hap
pened to be near by. He drove the
blue jay away, but on investigation
found 1t had pecked the head off one
of the young birds and nhad7 injured
another SO badly that 1t 'ddfsd soon at

value depending upon the kind of crop
and the capacity of the soil. Among
the other green crops that are seldom
used may be mentioned corn, millet,
turnfps, rape, sorghum, soy beans, etc.
but the crimson clover and COW pea
crops are preferred. 1t Is claimed that
turnips, by reason of their deep, pene-
trating roots, appropriate large pro-
portion of the mineral elements of the
subsoil, which are brought to the sur
face when they are plowed under, thus
following COW peas as an aid. increas-
ing the amount Of available mineral
matter, especially phosphates, but the
nitrogen from the COW peas is a clear
gain to the farmer, being derived from
the atmosphere, while the mineral mat.
ter is taken from the lower portions
of the lands and brought within his

ders the plant foods in the soil more
available should be adopted. Green
foods perform valuable service in as.
sisting to increase the supply of humus
which enables the soil to retain mois
