When Haying Is Done.

There's smile of relief and spirit
of fun
Comes over the farmer when haying
is done;
With his haylofts all swelling with
sweet-scented hay
His smile is as cry as sunshine in
May.
The summers half over, and out In
the field
He sees the approach of bountiful
yield;
AS tall as his hat is the golden topped
corn,
Which waves it's long arms in the
breeze of the morn,
AS fair and as fragrant as gardens OF
old
Are his fields with their stubble as
:'s,sow as goll.
With his barn full of hay and his bed
ding stacked high.
A smile on his face and a CLEAN In
his eye;
The cattle provided with winter re-
past.
While apples and pumpkins are ripen-
ing fast.
There's a smile of relief and a spirit
of fun
Comes over the farmer when haying Is
done;
The turnips are growing, the melons
are prime,
The harvest approaching, his boun-
teous time.
All Lucky the farmer who wanders
afield
And sees the approach of a beautiful
yield

One of Shaw's Criticisms.

Nobody could roast a bad play SO

And the playwright read:

ton concerning a play at the Opera

a Remarkable Journey.

In a history issued of Harper's
Weekly Harry A. Franck describes a
remarkable journey undertaken by
him on foot across the robber-infested
Lebanon range to Damascus. Every
body tried to induce him to abandon
this enterprise. At one village the
sheikh invited him to sit in his shop
entrance upon a stool and placed an
earthenware pot in front of him, into
which every passer-by was urged to
drop a coin. The pot was almost full
when an English-speaking villager ex-
planned its meaning. The sheikh was
taking up collection to purchase for
the author a railroad ticket to Damas-
GUS Mr.. Francl1 picked up his KNAPP
sack and stepped into the street. But
the sheikh and several bystanders
threw themselves upon me with cries
of dismay. 1t was no use attempting
to escape from a dozen horny hands.
/ permitted myself to be led back to
the stool and sat down with the KNAPP
sack across my knee. The sheikh adj
dressed me in soothing tones, pointing
at the pot with every third word. The
others resumed their seats on the
floor, rolled new cigarettes and fell
quiet once more With one leap
sprang from the stool into the street
and set off at top speed down the
highway, a screaming. bowling, ever
increasing, but ever more distant
throng at my heels"

Growing Bush Beans.

Bush or dwarf beans are easy to
grow and are one of the best and most
popular of garden vegetables. A sue
cession of them should be planted and
be coming on from the very earliest
summer till after the first frosts of
autumn. Beans of all kinds are some
what tender and are easily killed by
late spring frosts, yet they are easily
and cheaply planted and risk should
be taken in planting extra early. If
the first crop happens to be caught by
frost, it is very easy matter to plant
the same space over again and little
will be lost by the trial. as one prep
aration of the soil will serve for
succession of crops.
For bush beans prepare the ground
early in a dry condition, working It
down to a very fine and even seed
bed. Make the surface soil especially
fine and loose. since the bean so le-
times has difficulty in coming up in
three or four days. Give the young
plants clean and light surface cultiva-
ton to conserve soil moisture. A
three or four-shoveled horse cultivator
may be used, but never in them while
the vines are in the least wet or moist,
as this will bring on disease. Plant a
succession, q bout three weeks apart,
up to the last of August in central lat
itudes Pick the beans clean while
they are green regularly and the vines
will bear longer. If beans are allowed
to ripen on the wires the vines will
soon die.

MILK Contamination

There are hundred and one places
the time Tit is drawn from the udder
till 1t reaches the table in the form OF
sweet milk, cream or butter. First, q
great deal of bacteria, impurities and
disease germs get into the milk at the
barn or lot in which the cows are
kept. Second, a great many more o:
these owe their existence in milk to
the attendant and the place in which
the milk is kept. The moment the
COW shows signs of being i'll, or when
even a slight eruption is noticeable, a
person may contract disease by partak
ing of her milk. Impure water is an
other way in which milk is contami
mated. If the COW is compelled to
drink out of a mud hole, filled with
disease germs, she cannot help but
drink large number of those germs
into her system, some Of them being
sure to reach her milk Milking the
COW into an opan pail when the barn
is filled with dust, and from which
there hangs an untold number of dirty
cobwebs. or milking her in an offens
lively smelling lot, where the filth is
ankle deep, or milking a cow whose
udder, TANKS and legs are covered with
dirt and filth-in such cases 1t is i'm
possible to avoid contamination of the
milk. 1t is believed that more disease
germs are given the human family
through milk than ere given in any
other agency; and we also believe that
less attention is paid to the care of
milk than to any other food consumed
upon the table.

HelnfuI Hints.


A cloth moistened with alcohol will
clean piano keys.
Clean linoleum with warm water
and polish it with milk.
To preserve fish sprinkle powdered
borax over it lightly and place in a
good situation.
To clean marble take two parts Of
soda, one of pumice and one of salt,
all In powder, and mix to a paste with
water.
Fat which is to be kept should be
cut up small and boiled in a sauce
pan in a little water and never put
into the oven TO melt.
A simple strip that Is good to serve
on hot waffies is made by boiling wa
ter and sugar together and adding
cinnamon TO taste.
Cover plaster-of-paris figures with
thick coating of starch and water, let
it dry on the surface and the dirt
will brush off with the dry powder.
In papering a room, remember that
large patterns and dark colors will
make it appear smaller, while a plain
or striped paper. if light hue, will
give an impression of increased size.
Ink stains on silver or plated ar
ticles may be removed with a paste
made of chloride of lime and water.
This should be left on for a little
while, and then washed off in warm
water.
Milk Jars in which the milk has
soured can be most quickly cleaned
by putting first under the cold water
spigot. then filling with hot water in
which has besn dissolved a liberal
a:.cua. of washing soda.
To save many steps in the kitchen
have a small uncovered shelf near
the range, where hot food, when re-
moved from the oven, may be placed.
1t also saves the table and you avoid
the danger of being burned while
carving it across a room.
Remember that the skins of peach.
es may be removed as those of toma-
toes are by plunging them into boil
ing not merely hot-water This
way of peeling is a great saving in
the fruit Oranges plunged in boiling
water will always peel more easily
than when not so treated.

SENSE ABOUT FOOD.
Fact. About Food Worth Know,

Facts About Food Worth Knowing.
1t is serious question sometimes to
know just what 10 eat when a per-
sons stomach is cut of order and most
foods cause trouble.
Grape-Nuts food can be taken at any
time with the certainty that it will di-
gest. Actual experience of people is
valuable to anyone interested in foods
A Terre Haute woman writes: Il
had suffered with Indigestion for about
four years, ever since an attack OF
typhoid fever, and at times could eat
nothing but the very lightest food, and
then suffer such agony with my stom-
ach / would wish never had to eat
anything
Il was urged to try Grape-Nuts and
since using it | do not have to starve
myself any more, but / can eat it at
any time and feel nourished and salts
fed. dyspepsia is a thing of the past
and / am now strong and well.
MY husband also had an experience
with Grape-Nuts. He was very weak
and sickly in the spring. Could not
attend to his work He was put un-
der the doctors care but medicine did
nvt seem to do him any good until he
bagan to leave off ordinary food and
re Gsape-Nuts. 1t was positively sur
prising to see the change in him. He
grew better right off, and naturally he
has none but words of praise for
Grape Nuts.
Our boy thinks he cannot eat a
meal without Grape-Nuts, and he
learns so fast at school that his teach
er and other scholars comment on it,

1t is a pity that people do not know
what to feed their children. There are
many mothers who give their young
sters almost any kind of food and when
they become sick begin to pour the
medicine down them. The real way is
to stick to proper food and be healthy
and get along without medicine and
expense.

Rare Metal Am South Dnkota.


The Black Hills of South Dakota
contain deposits of ores of the rare
metals tin, tungsten and tantalum,
which have been examined by Frank
L. Hess, geologist of the United States
Geological Survey, whose report forms
a paper in the surveys bulletin $50.
The lack of commercially valuable
tin deposits in the United States gave
especial interest TO the discovery of
tin ores in the Black Hills. The de-
posits occur in the northern part Of
the hills at linton and in the south
ern part near Hill City, keystone, Ore
vile and Custer. Mr. Hess sketches
the geology of the tin deposits as ex-
posed at the various mines and claims
and gives brief accounts of their COM
mercial development.
Tungsten deposits occur in the Black
Hills at several places, but have been
exploited commercially only at Lead,
in the central hills. The valuable ore
is wolframite. Tungsten is of especial
interest and value in connection with
its use in tool steel and as a filament
