STAPLE FOOD SUPPLY LIMITED.
Comparatively Few Nutritive Pro-
duets of the Worlds Inhabitants.

=
duets Of the Worlds Inhabitants.
Certain great food staples have
proved themselves within the age-long
experience of humanity to possess a
larger amount of nutritive value, dlges-
tibility and other good qualities, and
smaller proportion Of undesirable prop
critics than any others, says McClure's.
These, through an exceedingly slow and
gradual process of the survival Of the
tittest, have come to form the staples
Of food In common use by the human
race all over the world. 1t Is really as
tonishlng how comparatively few there
are of them, when We come to consider
them broadly the flesh and the milk of
three or four domestlcated animals, the
flesh of three or four and the eggs Of
one species Of domesticated birds, three
great gralns-wheat, rice and maize
and half-dozen smaller and much less
frequent ones. one hundred or so spe-
cles of fishes and shell fish, two sugars,
dozen or so starch-containlng roots
and tubers, only two of which-the po-
tato and the manloc-are of real In
ternational Importance, twenty or thir-
ty fruits, forty or fifty vegetables make
up two-thirds OF the food supply of the
inhabitants of the world.
Instead OF wondering at the variety
and profuseness of the human food sup
ply the biologist Is rather inclined tc
calculate with the London footman i'm
mortallzed by John Leech, who, wher
told by the cook that there would bt
mutton chops for dinner and roast bee
for supper, exclaimed: Nothing but

own children in a week than l did

Well they went to housekeepin' on

Henry Johns aunt. Elmira Stone was
her name, an she was terror If ever
there was one. Never married, "hed
no use for sech worthless truck as
men," she sed. l don't know as 1
ever seen any Of them runnin' after
her; but that's neither here nor there.
She he'd her good points, too.
Well, them young folks hadn't been
married long till l seen sOmethin' was
wrong. Mary Emily was right proud
an high strung an she wouldn't tell a
thing, an he never seemed to notice
that things wasn't goin' jest the same
as they'd alwas bin. Mary Emily
worked from mornln' till night, milk
in, churnin', feedin' calves and chick
ems, wedding garden, besides cookin'
an dCSn' all the house work. After
the first year she quit goln' anywhere
wasn't gettin' along in money way.
Why, Henry John was always brag-
gin to me what a good worker he'd
got an how well they was gettin' along
But there was somethin' wrong all
the same. Mary Emily's face was get

Well, Mary Emily died, an Aunt FL
miry Stone came to stay with Henry
John an the children. Henry John was

talk to me about how good Mary Emily
was, how she jest worked away an

for money for finery, am how she made

children, an how he'd be savin' up

Poultry.

A careful observer of poultry needs
no better sign Of its condition than to
watch the comb. A bright red comb
shows that the hen or male Is healthy
and vigorous, and II hen, she will
probably be a good layer. After the
egg supply has failed the comb viii
generally lose Its color. In cold wealth
or fowls with large combs must have
extra warm quarters, as they are very
easily frozen. 1t is frozen combs more
often than anything else that makes
Leghorns and Minorcas poor winter
layers. As their names imply, they are
natives Of warm climates. as, indeed,
most fowls are. They very rarely get
into as warm quarters in winter as
they could find anywhere In the coun-
tries where they had their original
home.

shown in the cut, and when working
among the canes Of the berry bushes
use it in the way illustrated.
This tool will be found extremely
handy for this sort Of pruning any
where on the farm. 1t will work quite
well for cutting out suckers In the Or
chard as in the berry row. If the canes
are quite tall straight handle may be
attached to the blade so that one may
have 1t Of any desired length. Such
tool costs but little, and If one has
considerable area in berry plants 1t
will pay to have several tools made.

All growers Of blackberries and rasp-
berries know that one of the most dis
agreeable jobs of the season is the cut
ting out of the old canes on the plants
of these fields. The easiest way of do
ing this work is to use sharp tool of
some kind so arranged that the operat-
or may stand upright and work. The
tool illustrated may be readily made by
any handy man, and will do the work
required quite as effectually as more
expensive tool.
Take the handle from a worn-out
shovel or fork and have the black
smith attach to it the end Of an old
scythe blade or, If one has no blade of
this kind, the blacksmith can fashion
one from old scraps that he may have
at small expense. Have this blade fas-

Beans.

Beans" is the title of recent farm
ers' bulletin, by Professor Corbett, the
well-known horticulturist Of the United
States Department of Agriculture
Beans belong to one of the most impor-
tant families Of economic plants with
which man has to deal-that Of le-
gumes. The bean furnishes food for
both man and and beast, and at the
same time increases the fertility Of
the soil. 1t is, therefore, an impor-
tant crop, both in farm rotation and
in market. garden work. The new bull
letin treats fairly Of its cultivation,
care and use.
Professor Wlaneko, Of Purdue Expe-
riment Station, has just issued an in
terestlng bulletin on soy BEANS COW
peas and other forage crops. The cul-
ture Of cow peas and soy beans Is be-
coming important with many farmers,
as they make good forage crops and at
the same time add fertility to the soil
They belong to the legumes, and the
cost Of producing Is about the same as
FOR corn, while their food value com.
pares very favorably with corn. Sew.
eral other classes Of forage plants are
described in the bulletin.

In spite of the extensive development
and use Of corn harvesting machinery
the fact remains that much corn Is
still cut by hand. Therefore the ac-
companying sketch recently sent to the
New England Homested by a reader
will prove Of interest
He has figured out that If the plan
outlined is followed a sixty-four hill
shock, or stock, Of corn can be cut at
a minimum number Of steps. The cir
cles in the center represent the four
hills tied together or between which
the shock is built. After the founda-
ton for the shock is ready the man

THE DINKEY BIRD.

In an ocean far out yonder,
As all sapient people know,
Is the land Of Wonder Wander
Whittier children love to go;
It's their playing, romping, swinging,
That giveth joy to me,
While the Dinkey Bird goes singing
In the amfalula tree!
There the gumdrops grow like cherries,
And taffy's thick as peas;
Caramels you pick like berries
When and where and how you please
Big red sugar plums are clinging
To the cliffs beside that sea
Where the Dinkey Bird is singing
In the amfalula tree.
So when children shout and scamper
And make merry all the day,
When there's naught to put damper
On the ardor of their play;
When hear their laughter ringing,
Then I'm sure as sure can be
That the Dinkey Bird is singing
In the amfaula tree.
For the Dinkey Birds bravuras
And staccatos are so sweet,
His roulades, appoggiaturas
And robustOs so complete,
That the youth Of every nation,
BE they near or far away,
Have especial delectation
In that gladstone roundelay
Their eyes grow bright and brighter,
Their lungs begin to crow,
Their hearts get light and lighter
And their cheeks are all aglow;
For an echo cOmeth bringing
The news to all and Inc
That the Dinkey Bird is singing
In the amfalula tree!
Yes, I'm sure you'd like to go there
To behold your feathered friend;
And so many goodies grow there
You would like to comprehend!
Speed, little dreams, your winging
To that land across the sea,
Where the Dinkey Bird is singing
In the amfalula tree!
