"As Good as Gold"

The day that was five years old
thought I'd be as good as gold.
promised mother as stood there
All dressed up, on a parlor chair,
That I would do my very best
To act as well as / was dressed.
q She told me when my party came
To think of others In the game,
To let my visitors go first,
To take the smallest piece and worst
And see that others had enough
And not be greedy, cross or rough.
But / forgot it once or twice,
And then my manners were not nice.
So when they'd gone she shook her head.
''As good as silver" mother said
But when grow to six years old

when to Stop churnine.

Different buttermakers have various
ways of ascertaining the proper time
when the churn should be stopped. Il
has been the general rule in the past
that churn should be stopped when
the granules are little larger than
wheat kernels. If the churn is stop
ped when butter is gathered to the
size of wheat kernels, the buttermilk
will strain out very easily, will wash
better and cleaner and aid in keeping
the moisture at more even percent
age.
* Overchurning should be guarded
against as well as understanding, for
butter that is oyerchurned will retain
large amount of buttermilk. which
is very difficult to remove by washing.
Consequently the butter will in time
take up a rancid or buttermilk flavor
directly from the buttermilk that is
retained.-A ii. Wilcox Before Wis

The Fly and the Moth.

The State Entomologist has just
issued Circular No. II, showing how
the house fly carries germs of typhoid,
tuberculosis and other diseases, and
other diseases, and what menace it
is in a dwelling house, both to child
rem and adults. The circular is well
illustrated and tells how to eliminate
the fly, or reduce it's dangers to the
minimum. The same circular advises
housekeepers how to keep their
woolens and furs during the summer
months away from the clothes moth,
and other insects which attack these
fabrics.
This circular will be mailed free of
charge to citizens of Minnesota who
request it. Request should be ad
dressed to the chronological Division
of the Experiment Station, st. An
thony, Park, Minnesota.
Circulars on other household pests,
such as feas, ants, bedbugs and cock
reaches will be issued later.

About Squirrels.

Do you know that at home in the
woods a squirrel has two cages, or
dreys, as his nests are called? The
winter one is placed in the cleft of a
tree between two branches and is
often very large, for squirrels do not
like north winds and try to shelter
themselves as much as they can. The
summer nest is not unlike birds and
is perched high up on waving bough
as far as possible from the reach of
unwelcome visitors. Should the moth
er squirrel catch sight of one of these

all are carried away to place of safe

Stock Farm near Grain Valley, and
who has been a dealer In calves at

Mr.. Wolf was considered the boss calf

cording to bis statement he has
bought and sold over three million
calves during his business career.
And the greater part OF the time has
dictated the price that countrymen
received and the packer paid. He
traded In all kinds OF cattle that
weighed 500 pounds or less. Mr..
Wolf came to Kansas City direct

French Named 0zarks.

University Missourisn: "Down in
she 0zarks," or HE comes from the
0zarks," are expressions frequently
heard by students in the University
OF Missouri. Few persons know, per-
haps, how the name happened to be
given to she hills or low mountains
in southern Missouri and northern
Arkansas.
"0zarks" is corruption OF two
French words, faux arcs" which
mean ''st or in archs or bows" The
name was given TO the mountains
probably by the early French ex-
plorers on account OF the shape oithe
hills. The 0zarks are not an isolat-
ed chain OF mountains, appearing
only in Missouri and Arkansas, but
are part OF IA chain extending from
the Rockies to the Appalachian. The
chain scarcely appears above thesur-
face In Kansas, but rises In the east
ern psrs, extends across Missouri
through Illinois and northern Ken
lucky, and finally merges into the
Cumberland mountains.
In the 0zarks are many caves in
which have been found many relics,
such as stone implements and Iten.
sils, These caves are supposed TO
have been the dwelling places OF men
in the stone age, and possibly OF the
"mound builders.
