THE MULE IN THE JUG.
An Arab ProVerb and the legend

An Arab Proverb and the legend
That Gave 1t Birth.
Who can affirm that the mule en-
tered the jugI
This proverb is frequently quoted to
show that, though one may conscien-
tiously believe in a thing which may
seem eXtravagant in itself, it is better
not to repeat it from fear of being dis
believed. 1t arises from the following
Arabic legend: An Arab who denied
the existence of genii once bought a
mule and took 1t home. When per-
forming his evening additions, he saw
the mule enter jug. and this 50
scared him that he ran shouting to the
neighbOrs and told them what he had
seen. They, thinking him mad, endeay-
Ored to appease him, but all in vain.
He vOciferated more and more, so that
the authorities sent him to the mad
house. When the doctor came to see
him, he repeated the account of what
he had seen. whereupOn the doctor or
dered him to he detained. He cOntin-
ued upon each visit of the doctor To
repeat his statement until his friends
succeeded i'm persuadng him that if he
wished to regain his freedom he must
recant. This he did and the doctor set
him at liberty, to the great joy of his
family and friends. On making his alb
lutions as before he again saw the
mule, this time peeping out Of the jug,
but on this occasion he cOntented him
self with remarking to the mule: ooh,
yes. | see you well enough, but who
would believe me? And l have had
enough of the madhouse." Needless to
say that the genii to avenge them
selves for his disbelief in them had
transformed one of themselves into Il

The news of the duel spread like

A FAMOUS DUEL.
The Fatal Meeting Between
COmmOdOreS Barron and
Decatur.
ON MARCH y 1920.

On March 90. 1920. was fought one
of the most memorable duels in the an
nails of the United States. Commodore
Decatur and Commodore Barron Ece
on the fatal field near BladensburS
that day. Both participants were
wounded, Decatur MORALLY, dying
within a few hours after the encoCn-
ter. The causes which led to the l..
feeling between these two naval heroes
have never been accurately determined.
but it is generally supposed that De
catur's harsh criticism of Barron on
account of the latter not returning from
abroad to take part in the war brought
about the breach. Certain it is that
Decatur's words were repeated to Bar
ron, and a correspondence between the
two ensued. which probably resulted in
the challenge. The impending duel
was kept a profound secret. Only
few of the most intimate friends of the
respective participants had even an
inkling of it. Decatur was the first to
arrive upon the scene. He was accom-
ny ANOuSNAo anu
Porter and several other friends. Bar
ron arrived few minutes later. The
combatants bowed stiff1y to each other
and stood waiting for their friends to
measure off the ground and make the
final arrangements.
81 hope, sir" said Barron as they
took their places, that when we meet
In another world we shall be better
friends than we have been in this"
Decatur is said to have haughtily re-
garded his adversary a moment and
then replied:

In attempting to farm without

1t is foolish to talk about farming
without grass to land that can be
made to produce two tons OF the best
grass to the acre. The greatest thrift
that | have seen among the farmers
IN various parts OF ten leading States
has been on farms of about one humid
red acres where grass was the basis
Of their farming and where this grass
was fed out to the animals that were
kept on the farms.
Without grass 1t Is impossible to
keep up rational rotation of crops
and build up the fertility Of thu fields
for future crops. A farmer cannot
afford to grow half ton Of grass to
the acre any more than he can AFFORD
TO grow. ten bushels Of corn and
wheat. Such crops will keep him
poor forever.
By practicing good rotation Of
feeding out his grass he will be able
to grow two tons OF hay and sixty

pullets that are good lockers. and
that have been good growers. no ugly

Much care should be taken in this

other season.
All the discarded pullets. all the
cockerels, unless a few nice ones for

the seedy looking, over-fat hens are
either disposed OF at once or else
confined by themselves until disposed

The price is usually within a half
