The motives and plans for this or

To adopt the most approved princi-
pies of plant breeding. and TO apply
them under definite outline. or meth

TIE require each member to follow
the same schedule of selection.
To register the seed produced each
year. with records and description OF
all antecedent history.
To furnish certificates with all reg

of years pedigrecd breeding behind IT,
To offer for sale only the seed pro-
duced through the association, and not
to engage In any general seed trade. or
to lob" in seed.
To invite the examination of breed.

methods of seed saving by those inter

To avoid advertising by exaggerated
and misleading statements.
To develop n cantaloupe of the high
est possible merit. OF the type that the
markets demand.
To protect the purchaser by sealing
all registered seed under Regis

To establish standard OF perfec.

may be judged.
To discourage the remaining of old
varieties without n merit OF distinc-

Laid to Mental Disorder,

A number Of curious mental dis.
orders or frenzies spread throughout
Europe in the middle ages. beginning
with st. Vitus' dauce. which swas
named after a Sicilian youth who suf.
fered martyrdom under Diocletian in
1903. DR.. A. e. Shipley. the distir
guished lecturer at Cambridge univer-
sity, has decided that the British suf-
fragettes are AFFLICTED with the singu.
lar malady known as tarantism. This
was at its greatest height in the sew.
enteenth century. long after the dis.
appearance Of the st. Vitus' dance of
northern Europe. and severe cases
were marked by bowling, screaming
and jumping. as well a. by the persist

ance of a word or short sentence.
To this mania, like the others, females
were much more liable than males.
Another striking feature Of tarantisin
was strong preference Of certain col.

Saving Water on Dry Farms.

There is one point. says the state en-
gineer Of South Dakota, where | be-
lieve the dry farmer can use with ad-
vantage the experience OF certain ir-
rigators. and that Is by conserving
flood waters or pumping from under
ground supplies. where this can be
done. II farmer owning 1G0 acres
can conserve enough water In n small

either by windmill or gasoline engine.
to irrigate-say-five or ten acres. he
has great advantage over his neigh
Dor who has no supply of water. and
may even be compelled to haul water
several miles for domestic and stock
watering purposes.
There are several advantages in this
method Of farming, one of the chief be-
ing that there Is always enough water
to drink and that 1t Is good to drink.
not heated or stale as It Is when 1t has
stood few days in tank wagon In
which It has been hauled. The home
can be made attractive. and the Amer
lean people, as rule. are not satisfied
unless their home can be made attrac.
tive by the growing OF trees. perennial
shrubs, windbreaks for their fields.
and vegetable garden. Many OF these
may possibly be grown without irriga-
ton, but II Is a question whether very
many will take the necessary time and
care to grow trees and shrubs around
the house by dry farming.

Use Of Wind Mills,

With the dry farmer. irrigation is at
least in a measure. impracticable. for
otherwise he would cease to be dry
farmer and become an irrigator. But
It Is probable that large percentage
of the dry farmers could irrigate from
wells-by the use Of windmills.-a Few
acres and thus supply fruit and vege.
tables for themselves and feed for dairy
cattle and poultry. The product OF
four or five acres irrigated from n well
would maintain a ranchman's family
even though all his dry crops might be
destroyed by drought.-Denver Repub'

When blowing out a candle hold It
high and blow upward to keep the

Table linen. In order to bring out
the bright gloss that makes 1t attrac.

before being ironed.
Pieces OF old velveteen should be
washed and used for polishing. They
are an excellent substitute for cham

Candle ends melted with an equal
quantity Of turpentine added make an
excellent polish for floors. oilcloths,

the most delicious, highly nutritious
breakfast foods which can be served:

GOOD CHANGE

The large army of persons who have
found relief from many chronic all
ments by changing from coffee to
Postum as daily beverage, Is grow

1t is only a simple question Of trying
It for oneself in order to know the Joy
Of returning health as realized by an
Ills. young lady. She writes:
Il had been a coffee drinker nearly
all my life and it affected my stomach
caused insomnia and I was seldom
without headache. had heard about
Postum and how beneficial It was, 20
concluded to quit coffee and try 1t.
'T was delighted with the change.
I can now sleep well and seldom ever
have headache. My stomach has gotten
strong and can eat without suffering
afterwards. think my whole system
greatly benefited by Postum.
my brother also suffered from stom-
ach trouble while he drank coffee, but
now, since using Postum he feels %
much better he would not 60 back to
