supplies were produced on the farm
with a surplus, generally of stock, to
provide needed cash. Is there not in

needs such man to help him; who
will give a man of brains and charac-

family decently, privileges that will
make life worth living and reason

is the result of harsh handling. Some
times it is necessary to change milk

FABLE OF THE PANSf.
Entire Family May Be Traced in Flow
er's Gay Petals.

Lovers of this pretty flower may be
interested in the fable concerning It..
The blossom has five petals and five
sepals. In most pansies, especially OF
the earlier and less highly developed
varieties, two of the petals are plain
in color and three are gay. The two
plain petals have a single sepal each,
and the third, which is the largest of
all, has two sepals. The fable is that
the pansy represents family, consist
ing Of husband, wife and four daugh-
tiers, two of the latter being step-chil-
dren of the wife. The plain petals are
the step-children, with only one chair;
the two small gay petals are the
daughters, with a chair each, and the
large gay petal is the wife, with two
chairs. To find the father one must
strip away the petals until the stamens
and pistils are bare. They have a
fanciful resemblance to an old man
with flannel wrap round his neck, his
shoulders appraised and his feet in a
bathtub. In France the pansy is uni
versally called the step-mother.

WILD MUSTARD
IS DOOMED
Destruction by SuIphate of iron to
be Tried on Larger Scale

The Minnesota Agricultural Ex-
pertinent Station at st. Anthony
Park will undertake within the next
ten days number of experiments, on
large scale. of killing wild mustard
by spraying the field infected with
solution of sulphate of iron. The
American Steel and Wire Co. of
Chicago have donated for this pur-
pose 10000 lbs. of sulphate of iron
which is now at Grand Forks, N. D.,
and an especially designed spraying
machine imported from Germany
which has been shipped to Crookston.
Experiments will be conducted at
Tenney, Georgetown, Ada, Crookston,
Warren and Kennedy. 1t is proposed
to begin work as soon as the mustard
is sufficiently advanced, by shipping
the material and machine to one OF
the points named, spray large field
that had previously been selected,
load the material and equipment on
the first train and ship to the next
point and so on until all fields are
sprayed. These fields will be care
fully watched and visited by experts
several times during the summer and
the conclusions based on the observa-
tons distributed among the farmers
of the state. Since wild mustard is
serious menace to the growth OF
cereals, in many places, these
experiments will be watched with
great interest.

Officers Natural Anxiety.

Sir Douglass Straight told this tale
at a recent dinner of the Journeymen
Hairdressers' Trade society in Lon
don: When young barrister he went
into BARRIERS shop to be shaved and
was little startled to see the wom-
an cashier behind the counter star
ing at him from time to time through
the glass door. When he got outside
the shop policeman said: Il am
very glad to find you have come out. "
The officer explained that he had been
anxious because the barber had just
come out of lunatic asylum the pre-.
vious week and his relatives were
wondering whether they would have
to send him back again.

Delivered the Goods,

The late Senator M. S. Quay, OF
Pennsylvania, kept all the letters his
constituents wrote to him asking for
favors, says the Saturday Evening
Post. He had stacks of them when
his last great fight for the senate came
along. Then he sorted out the letters
eliminating those from people who
were dead and on the back of each
letter wrote: Dear John or Bill:
Do you remember when you wrote me
this letter and do you remember that
did what you asked? l want your
help now in my fight for the senate
Can l have it," The politicians in
Pennsylvania say those letters mailed
to the original senders with Quay's re-
quest on the backs of them, had as
much as any one thing to do with
Quay's winning his fight.
