Life Without Mind.

In the course of the recent sojourn
of King George of Greece in Paris a
long article was published in a news
paper of that city, dealing with the
conditions in the island of Crete.
The article bore the signature of one
of the editors, but 1t has been learned
since that the signature was fictitious
and that its true author was the
King. King George is not the first
monarch to avail himself of an op
portunity to publish his views on a
pending question of the day.

Prevents Freezing.

The water that flows through the
underdrains is warmer than the air
all through the winter. In the very
coldest weather a good outflow will
not freeze at the mouth of deep drain,
nor usually for several feet below.
When airholes are made down to the
drain, at any place over deep drain,
the snow will be melted away and a
perceptible warmth will be felt, espe-
cially before the soil has been deeply
frozen. The warm air of summer
penetrates more deeply well drained
soil and the heat thus accumulated is
only gradually given off when severe
freezing occurs on the surface.

Farm Topics.

Sulphur, or snuff, rubbed through the
fleece will destroy ticks.
Hens that lay soft eggs are general
ly quite fat from too much grain feed
alone.
Never use coal oil or grease of any
kind on a sitting hen, as 1t prevents
the eggs from Matching.
Corn should be restricted to the fat
tening flock, and then must be fed with
a nitrogenous food, such as clover hay.
The best single grain for breeding
sheep is oats. Bran is also good for
breeding ewes to stimulate them and
produce strong lambs.
The value of any kind of farm stock
depends upon the progress made by
each animal during the first year Of
its life whether purchased or not.
If hen lays one egg week she will
pay all expenses Of her keep. Every
egg over is a profit. The greater the
number of eggs received the lower
the cost Of each egg proportionately.
Whether pure breeds or grades, the
chickens, ducks, geese and turkeys on
the farm make a marked comparison
with those bred without regard to mer-
it, and every farmer should breed to
improve.
Onions should go in rich ground, but
the most important work with grow
ing them is to get them planted early
and to keep the ground clear of weeds
at the beginning. 1t is the quick start
that makes the onion crop large.
The colors of red and violet are
rendered extremely brilliant, 1t is said.
by covering the earth In their pots with
about one-half inch Of pulverized
charcoal. But the charcoal will not af-
feet yellow flower at all in this way.
A few guinea fowls on the farm are
worth something to keep hawks away,
and they are still more valuable as
bug catchers in the garden. They
don't scratch like other fowls, and
for this reason they may be permitted
to forage among delicate plants.
An acre of rich clover will pasture
eight shoats from spring to autumn.
If good stock these should gain 100
pounds each. Can pork be made as
cheaply in any other way, or is there
any other means by which an acre
of clover can be made to pay 80 we'll?
Jumping from shallow to deep plow-
ing all at once usually results in de-
creased crop yield at the succeeding
harvest The soil should be grad
ually deepened by letting the plow
bring up a little Of the subsoil each
year until the desired depth is reached.
II you have a pear tree that bears
cracked fruit, scatter wood ashes over
all the surface Of the ground under the
tree out about two feet beyond the
outer limbs; then at fruiting time
note the result. If the ashes can be
stirred two or three inches into the
soil all the better.
Comfort and convenience are most
essential features to the country home
and II the farmer would keep the wrin-
kles of care from his brow and have
those about him happy and contented
he will look to these matters carefully
and we'll. AS a usual thing they are
entirely overlooked.

A Great Farm Nuisance.

One of the greatest nuisances in
farming is the way in which weeds are
encouraged and protected in the cor
ners of the fences and in the vicinity
OF fences, from which places their seed
Is scattered over the surrounding lands.
The extent to which seeds are scatter
ed from one field to another by high
winds proves that one negligent farm
er may annoy hundreds of others by
falling to exterminate the foul herb
age.

Caution.

limitations have been placed upon the
Pasters in general appearance as to be-
well calculated to deceive. 1t is, how
ever, in general appearance only that they
compare with Allcocl's, for they are not
only lacking in the best elements which
have made Allcock's so efficient, but are
often harmful in their effects. Remember
that Allcocks are the original and only
genuine porous plasters-the best exter-
nal remedy known-and when purchasing
insist upon having Allcock's.

Artificial Silk,

Artificial silk is made from wood
pulp in Sweden. The imitation is ex-
cellent, but it is found that many
dresses made from 1t have been dis.
carded because the creases made
when the wearers sit down do not
come out. 1t is scarcely possible to
distinguish the real from the artifi-
cial silk, but this defect has proved
fatal for use as dress pieces.

1~0HREE women occupied the sew
ing room with the splendid out
look, a mother and her two
~ daughters. The mother sat in
a low rocking chair, a picture of
mournful helplessness, her hands list
Glessly resting on her lap, while tears
had left their traces on her time worn
face. The older daughter paced up and
down the room as striking an example
of energy and Impotence as was the
mother of dependency. Her comely
brow was marred by an angry frown.
The younger daughter stood by the
long window, her forehead resting
against the pane, while her fingers
drummed idly on the window sill. Her
gaze was fixed on the blue bay, where
rested the huge British warship Con-
s%ternation, surrounded by a section of
the United States squadron, seated like
white vans in the water. Sails Of
snow glistened here and there on the
bosom of the bay, while motor boats
and what not darted this way and that
impudently among the stately ships of
the feet.
In one corner of the room stood a
sewing machine, and on the long table
were piles of fimsy stuff out of which
feminine creations are constructed.
There was no carpet on the floor and
no ceiling overhead, merely the bare
rafters and the boards that bore the
pine shingles of the outer roof, yet this
attic was notable for the glorious view
to be see from it's window. 1t was au
ideal workshop.
The elder girl as she walked to and
fro spoke with nervous irritation in
her voice.
"There is absolutely no excuse, nam
ma, and It's weakness in you to pre-.
tend that there may be. The woman
has been gone for hours. There's her

pace and slowed down to a very sober
walk until she came to a three stored
