Edible Flowers Of India.

Many edible flowers. it appears. are to
be found in India. one of the most APP
prcciutcd grows on a tree about which
we have very little information, but
which in the country itself is named the
"mhowad." The natives consume an
enormous number of these flowers, whose
pale yellow corollae are pulpy and thick,
and prepare them in various ways. When
they are fresh they are put in cakes,
TO which they give a SWEEP flavor, but
they are more especially used for max

ON FOOD.
The Right Foundation of Food.

Tne tlkht OF
Proper food is the foundation of
health. People can eat improper food
for a time until there is a sudden col
lapse of the digestive organs, then all
kinds of trouble follows.
The proper way out of the difficulty
is to shift to the pure, scientific food,
Grape Nuts, for it rebuilds from the
foundation up. A New Hampshire
woman says:
Last summer | was suddenly taken
with indigestion and severe stomach
trouble and could not eat food without
great pain, my stomach was so sore |
up until | was so miserable life was
not worth living.
Then a friend finally, after much
argument induced me to quit my for
mer diet and try Grape-Nuts.
Although | had but little faith |
commenced to use 1t and great was
my surprise to find that | could eat it
without the usual pain and distress in
my stomach.
so | kept on using Grape Nuts and
soon a marked improvement was
shown, for my stomach was perform
ing its regular work in a normal way
without pain or distress.
Very soon the yellow coating dis
appeared from my tongue, the dull,
heavy feeling in my head disappeared
and my mind felt light and clear; the
languid, tired feeling left, and alto
gether | felt as If | had been rebuilt.
Strength and weight came back rapid.
ly and | went back to my work with
renewed ambition.
To-day | am new woman In mind
as well as body and owe 1t all TO this
natural food Grape-Nuts." There's a
Reason"

book, THE Road to MELVILLE"

The Lord He Served.

Judge George +. Lawton of the Mid
dlesex Probate Court told me a story
the other day of an American minister
who was spending his sabbatical year
abroad. Arriving III London,
he made every effort to get an intimate
view of the two branches of Parliament
in session. OF course, no stranger is
on the floor of the House of
Lords, but the minister not knowing
this, and with the usual amount. of
American push, tried to make his way
in. There is "A rule, however, that sery-
ants of the various lords may be ad-
mitted to speak to their masters. See
ing the minister walking boldly in, the
dOOrkeeper asked:
What lord do you serve?'
What lord?" repeated the astonished
American, the lord Jehovah"
For a moment the doorkeeper hest
tated and then admitted him. Turning
to an assistant standing near, he said:
He must mean one of those poor

why Pity the Farmer.

Mr.. Mann of Geuda Springs says y
Kansas newspaper, loaded large. fat
hog into his automobile and took It to
market in Arkansas City, where he
got good price for the porker. 1t
took him a mighty short time to get
the hog to town and get the cash for

auto so that 1t did not smell like a
barnyard, and the hog probably en-.

Pumn for the Garden.

A good pump should be part Of the
equipment of every garden. For the
small garden good bucket, com
pressed air or knapsack pump will be
most satisfactory, while for larger
gardens barrel pump with an at
tachment for spraying several rows
when occasion demands, or an auto
matte pump geared to the wheels Of
the truck, will be found more economi-
cal of time and labor. The small
compressed air sprayer is handy, as it
leaves both hands free for use, and
is. therefore. useful If it is desired to
spray two or three small trees, posi-
bly, with the use of a stepladder to
reach their tops.

by sheep become richer every year.

TeAfinu NIilk.

In some sections many of the best
dairymen are adapting the Holland
plan Of combining and hiring men to
visit each herd one day in the month
and test the milk of each COW, thus
giving the owners an idea of which
cows are the ones that are paying for
their keep. This plan is very sen
sible one and should be encouraged.
The cost is comparatively small, az
the tester boards with the family
while he is doing his work and IS car
red to the next place the day he has
completed his work. This insures reg
ularity in the work. In Michigan this
plan has greatly increased the average
production per COW. Wisconsin, too
has taken up this matter. 1t Is good
business and II may become popular

THIEVES TO CATCH THIEVES.
Many Former Bandits Now in Mexico's
Mounted Police.

The rurales or mounted police have
pretty nearly put stop to brigandage.
Several years ago the government recog-
nized the wisdom of the old adage Set
a thief to catch a thief" and offered
pardon and protection to all brigands
who would enlist as rurales.
Most of them took advantage of the
offer, writes Dillon Wallace in Outing,
and with these men on the side of law
and order hold-ups soon became infre-
quent, and the ruraes developed into a
wonderfully efficient mounted force to
hunt down bandits. They are fearless
riders, they know every mountain pass
and fastness, and when they once start
utter man he is pretty sure to be
caught or killed-generally killed.
The rurales OF Mexico compare favor
ably in bravery and reckless daring with
that wonderful organization. the North
west Mounted Police of Canada, and
are by far the best armed force in Mex
leo. Their calling gives them opportuni-
ty for wild adventure. and thus salts
ies the craving for a life of danger
which led many of them to be brigands
in the first instance. They are a free
and easy lot, quite in contrast to the
peaceably inclined policemen of the
towns and the slow moving, indolent sol
diery of the regular army.

sheep and Dogs.

In some counties Of England, it Is
said. a law exists compelling lamb
to be produced for each acre on the
farm. The value of sheep on the farm
is thoroughly understood and appre.
ciated by the English people. In some
Of the States in this country the rule
seems to be to produce dog for near
ly each acre. Sheep are constant farm
improvers. while dogs are exactly the
opposite. But for the prevalence Of
worthless ours there are many sections
where sheep would be raised and their
keeping would turn the tide that
would soon lead to profitable farming

Feeding sheen,

There are several points In feeding
sheep that must not be overlooked
The feed lot must be dry, with plenty
of clean, dry bedding; the animal
must have plenty of Glen, pure water,
and the feed troughs should be kept
clean. These should be arranged so
that the sheep cannot foul them with
their feet Another point Is to keep
them from becoming excited or fright
ened. To this end It is better that one
person feed them all the time.
