FIE ON THE TEDDY BEAR.
Assertion That Its Popularity I,
Menace to Human Race.


An old gentleman who enjoys worry.
Ing over the future of the race has
Just found some new and valuable
material. He has discovered that the
maternal instinct is threatened with
extinction by the Introduction of the
Teddy bear as plaything for little
girls. IL is going to do more toward
making mothers scarce, he AYERS, than
did ever won,ans entrance into the In.
dustrial field. This alarming sign OF
the times was brought to his atten.
tion the other day while sitting in the
park watching some little girls at
play. Flo observed they were all hug,
ging Teddy bears. Not a doll was to
be seen. a@'
DO you like bears better than
dolls?" he asked a bright little maid
OF eight or nine.
"oh, yes sir" she answered prompt
ly.
And why?"
"Oh, cause dolls are too much trou
bic. They were always telling mo !
must make n new dress for dolly,
or wash her face, or put her TO bed at
night, or something else. But Teddy's
no trouble at all. Just hug him and
love him when like and then throw
him In a corner. His arms and lcgs
never break, and don't have to make
dresses for him. SO, of.course. l like
my bear the best"
After which the old gentleman
looked very worried.

A New Gem Discovered.

The discovery of a new gem is a
matter of interest not only to the
finder himself and to scientists, but
to people generally as well, and TO
San Diego County, California, belongs
the distinction and honor of having
produced a stone, new and beautiful, ("
writes Mrs. w. Z. Burke in the Tech,
meal World Magazine. "This county
has of late years contributed goodly
share of precious and semi-precious
stones to the collection of gems which
the world already knew of and priced.
1t would seem that Nature in a cap
ricious mood had chosen the canyons
or the Coast range which traverse the
central portion ,.of the country as a
hiding place for the most treasured
jewels. Here in the rugged recesses
of the brush-covered foothills are
found in brilliant array gems of great
beauty and value. The beryl, bright
as the sun; hyacinth, dazzling in Its
sheen; topaz, in many exquisite shades,
and tourmalines in a suite of colors
that can be, claimed by no other gem.
\ Occasionally sapphire, or ruby with
flame-like colors is found.
But kunsite-the precious kunsite
1t is gem which has but one rival,
the diamond. In some ways indeed
kunsite out-diamonds the diamond.
Kunsite is distinctively a San Diego
stone. Although tourmaline. hyacinth
heryl and topaz are found In brilliant
perfection, these gems are. also found
in other parts of the world, but kun.
site has been found only in San Diego

A gloom is on the autumn day;
But down the valley, in the west,
The sudden sunlight breaks its way
A light lies on the farther hills.

Though shadows fall and fades the lear.
Somewhere is JOY, though it's not thine I;
The power that sent can heal thy GRIEF

fidentially, looking up in David's face.
David took the child up the altar
steps, and showed him where the little
boys sang each Sunday in their cas-
socks and SUPPLIES. Bennie's disap-
pointment was great when told that he
was hardly old enough to sing.
But I'll soon be growed," he added
with a sigh and an afterthought.
Then David showed him the picture
Of the Infant Jesus on His Mothers

me, maybe, but his mudder loves him"
Then David knew the child had lost
his father. and he said ''mudder" just
as Birdiegirl had done years ago, when
they had walked in the corLhelds to-
gether. He could almost fancy it was
Birdie-glrl that was clasping his hand
now, so real did the long forgotten in
cident return, until the sound of Mary's
voice brought him back from the land

Now, Master Bennie, we must go at

chance to cnat with her many friends

Our common Red clover.

There is NJ forage plant in all re-
spects so useful to the American farm
er as red clover, and when it is in full
bloom it will carry more swine to the
acre than any other tame grass except
alfalfa. After 1t has been grazed 10
the earth a few days will cause 1t 20
grow up again and furnish succulent
feed for the hogs.
Rcd clover has two growing seasons I:
IT makes its most vigorous and rapid
growth from the middle Of April to the
middle Of June, and after this If not
pastured close or cut for hay 1t begins
to dry up and the leaves, stems and
heads fall. forming thick mat
1t is best to pasture close up to about
the first week In July, and then change
the hogs to some other pasture for a
few weeks and then it may be pas
tured again from the second week IN
August until frost comes In the fall
Clover is the greatest Of all fertiliz-
ing plants. Many call it trap for nj
trogen. which catches and preserves it
for the crops that are to succeed the
clover. "Kedze" says clover hay or
sod contains enough phosQhoric acid for
more than double an average crop,
enough nitrogen for more than four av-
erage crops, and enough potash for
more than six average crops of wheat.
A good stand Of clover Is the best
possible preparation Of land for a sue
ceeding crop Of grain, and as a forage
crop for swine 1t stands next to the
great alfalfa. When cut and cured for
hay it is very nearly rhe equal OF al
falfa. and when run through cutting
box and fed with cornmeal and mill
feed to hogs it gives good results.

Those who are accustomed to look
back with longing eyes TO the good
old days" will find it interesting TO
learn that in the middle of the eight

two days to make the journey. In

Points About Feeding.

There is an indescribable feeling
when you touch a high class feeding
steer that once recognized is never for
gotten.
It's the young steer that puts on
more flesh at better profit than the
old one.
Alfalfa. meal, even at SIS and $50
per ton, is regarded as economical by
many first-class feeders.
A ration of three-fourths corn and
one-fourth alfalfa will produce great
er gains than when one-half alfalfa
is fed.
Commercial feeds when honestly
made and compounded by experts are
often the best investments that feeders
can make.
The feeder who allows his fattening
animals to stand still, for one single
day, makes mistake. They should
make progress all the time, from start
to finish, in order to produce the great
est profit
The man who feeds by guess may
secure results that to him seem oil
that could be desired, but the man who
feeds by rule and according to science
will beat him every time.
A reasonable amount Of headwork
and the applications of suggestions OBJ
tanned in the best farm papers will
often save feed and labor.
Potbellied calves are nearly always
the result of irregular and senseless
feeding.

Nevv Foundation Method.

The Literary Digest quotes from for
eign engineering paper the description OF
a new method Of making foundations now
used in all sorts of conditions. 1t il
known as the compressed system. 1t con-
sists in making holes through the soft
soil down to the hardpan by means of Il
tapering arm, which is forced down like
a pile driver, and then filling these holes
with stones and rubble in successive lay
ers, each of which is firmly rammed
down. The result is to produce mono
lithic block of great strength. No ground
is removed in the boring Of the shaft, the
sides of which acquire great compact
ness.
