ATHLETICS AND LOVE.
May Sutton Says Former Is Antidote
for Latter.


Miss May Sutton, champion woman
lawn tennis player of America and for
mer worlds champion, in an interview
at Los Angeles said women should not
marry until they are %, and that cath
letics is an antidote for the poison of pre-
mature romance" 81 said % because l
Judge entirely by the nearly universal
happiness of the English wives, and they
do not marry young. You do not hear
much Of divorce in England, while it is
growing actually q distinct feature of
this country. / have often thought per-
haps the English girls tendency to ath-
letics has some thing to do with her level
beadedness concerning men. Athletics
are not especially conducive to sentiment.
Any athletic girl, American or English,
is not as apt to marry as young as the
typical society girl. The society girl is
entaugled in a web of romance, whether
she cares for it or not, and the usual out
come is an early marriage. In Newport
/ met one girl I quite fell in love with,
Eleanor Sears Of Boston. In my judg-
ment she was the most attractive and
best dressed woman in Newport. Why,
the women / played tennis with there
made me laugh. They wore picture hats
tied down with fluffy wells and dainty
kid gloves. They cannot forget their
clothes even in athletics. Lots Of people
think Eleanor Sears is mannish because
she adopts very severe clothes; but they
are so very becoming to her and only
one woman in q thousand looks pretty
without frills. Miss Sears is one Of
them

Orchard Cultivation.

Hoe the weeds and grass away from
the trees in the orchard, and while
you are hoeing the grass and weeds
away, dig down into it and stir the
soil for or feet around the base Of
each tree. Keeping the grass and
weeds away will destroy nesting places
for mice and prevent them from cir
ding the trees. Digging into and turn
ing up some of the surface soil will
bring some insect pests to light to be
destroyed, and the stirring of the soil
around the base Of the tree will do
some good in the way of cultivation.
A few minutes thus spent to each tree
may be the means of it's bearing an
extra bushel of fruit this coming year.
The more the orchard is cultivated
and worked with the more it will
bear Intensive orchard cultivation is
imperative for the best results-Jour-
nal Of Agriculture.

Waste OF Feed.

Wherever cattle or hogs are fed
there Is a great waste in valuable feed
resulting from the feeding of too much
corn, or feeding corn out of balance
and proportion to protein or nitrogen
Gus food The time has come in the
high price of corn to call a halt to this
wasteful method of feeding. To fully
utilize feed proper digestion must go
on, and when corn is fed out of bal
ance with heterogeneous foods it is not
all digested and assimilated. These
are very important facts, now that
corn is high in price and is likely to
stay so. What, then, is the food that
must take the place of part of the corn
fed in making pork? That is the
question that should be carefully
studied and needed by farmers. Cheap
er production through more econom-
ical use Of our feeds is an important
matter and must be so recognized
sooner or later by our farmers.-Kau-

The Profitable Dairy Cow.

Some people seem to keep and milk
cows simply because others keep them,
without any regard to whether the
cows are paying profit. For a COW
to be worth keeping she must pay q
profit on the feed and care given her.
For her to be really worth while, she
should produce 100 per cent more milk
than her feed costs, including pasture,
of course.
It does not matter so much what
breed a COW belong to. Simply be-
cause she is Of Jersey or Holstein
blood, is not positive proof that she is
more than paying her way. A COM
mon COW may be doing better than
she. The only way to find out what
she is doing is to weigh and test her
milk at regular and frequent intervals.
| Let her stand on her merits and not
on her ancestry.
One reason why some COWS do not
| pay greater profit is that they are not
| fed all the nutritious feed they Will
eat. This is especially the case with
many farmers in winter, when pas,
| lures are dead. Many of them keel
| their producing COWS on half feed
when they are not on pasture, and still
expect the cows to make up the loss
If COW is worth keeping at all she is
worth feeding all she can be induced
to eat. If 1t is not found profitable
| to purchase extra feeds so that the
COWS may have all that they will con
sumo, then it IS best to keep only as
many COWS as feed can be provided fol-
on the farm.
Make the cav produce all the milk
she can by good care and feed, and
do not let her go dry until the time
| she is ready to turn dry. Keep the
| best heifers from the best cows.-Jour
nal Of Agriculture

SILHOUETTES OF WESTERN
CANADA.

The man from Iowa began to talk
land before the train was well out OF
the c.. N R. depot in Winnipeg. The
talk began in rather wide circles. The
rush to the land, the bumper crop,
the system Of summer following pur-
sued in the semi-arid districts, were
all discussed, and then, with sort OF
apologize smile, the Iowa man SAID:
I'm a bit interested in this country
myself. Some Of the men down home
got a few sections up here along this
line, and I'm going to have a look at
them. Never been up In Canada be-
fore Git is curious how these mid
Western Americans pronounce the
name of the Dominion as If it was
"Can'dy"), but if it looks good we
will be up to stay next fall
You see, it's like this" said the
man from Iowa, quite manifestly con-
tinuing an argument that had been
going on in his mind for some time.
Back in our State land has become
dear. Anybody wanting to sell can
get $40 or $50 an acre for it, and ev-
cry farm that's offered is snapped up.
In Saskatchewan we have just as good
land that cost us S11 and S12, so that
man can take up five or six times as
much there as in Iowa on the same in
yestment Of money.
1T isn't the money, though, that
brings most of US up from Iowa. I'm
not sure that money would be enough.
The invasion is family affair. We
have no chance of keeping our sons
around us back home. They have to
leave the farm and go into the big
cities of the neighboring States to get
work. To keep them on the farm and
in touch with US, we come up here
and make little colonies with the chill
dren around US, on homesteads or
bought land. This makes it easier for
the farmers back there in Iowa to get
land for the stay-at-homes. The fami-
lies that come to Canada are kept to-
gether and the families that buy the
farms they leave are kept together,
too. There won't be any slackening
of the rush, either, for they still raise
big families back in Iowa"
One could almost see the mental
process Of this typical American farm
er in defending a step that meant a
new flag, new allegiance, a new land,
and new associates. To abandon "Old
Glory" and the Declaration of indie
pendence for a good thing in cheap
land would hardly be playing the
game, but to go out into Saskatche-
wan to keep the family together" was
another and quite higher motive.
Why seek too closely to anaiyze the
reasons for the greatest land trek in
the history of America? 1t is enough to
know what the sons of the frontiers
men of Iowa, and Kansas, and Mime
sota-the best blood of the mid West
are pouring into the Canadian West
in an ever-increasing stream, and are
learning that God Save the King" and
My Country, IT'S Of Thee" are sung
to the same tune.-Toronto (Ontario)
Globe.

else. And 1t should also be remem.
bered that the best COW in the world
may be ruined as milk producer By
improper feeding. If you do not own
thoroughbred bull with good mix
stock in his pedigree, buy one at once.
Get out of the old rut, and start right.
Go to work now and build up your
herd. The chances are that so per
cent of those who read this paragraph
have lot of COWS that are hardly pay
ing for their keep. But, by breeding
to the right sort of a sire, and keep
ing the heifer calves from only the
best mixers, and feeding intelligently
any man who reads this can have a
herd of 300-pound producing COWS in
five years.-Missouri Dairyman.

Corn Breeding.

The Illinois experiment station has
just published the results Of its eff
forts to breed corn for high and low
protein content and for high and low
oil content. Ten generations of corn
have been bred for these different pur-
poses by selection of seed having the
desired qualities. In the effort to in
crease the protein content the average
has been changed from 1922 per cent
to 1926 per cent in the effort to de-
crease it from 1892 per cent to 8.64
per cent. Individual ears have been
found which contain as high as 1919
per cent of protein and as low as 6.13
per cent, as high as $50 per cent of
oil and as low as 1.60 per cent. But
the high protein corn has been i'll
every case less productive than any
Of the other three and in some cases
decidedly so. 1t has also been less
productive as a rule than corn grown
for no particular purpose-just corn.
The conclusion Is reached from some
plots that, while this continued selec-
of all other considerations has resulted
in lower yields, yet this is not a neces-
sary result. In some cases high pro-
tein corn has yielded we'll as compared
with standard varieties bred for no
particular purpose.

FORTUNE FOR A NURSE.
She Compromises with Contrasting Heirs
to Avoid Litigation

The suit to set aside the will of Abra-
ham Stephens Of Weston, H., came to an
unexpected ending i'll the circuit court at
Bloomington, when the principals an
nounced that they had agreed upon a
compromise. By the terms of the COM
promise the compliments who were
practically ignored in the will are to re-
ceiye So, 500 of the $3OOOOO left by the
testator. 1t developed that Stephens
wrote no less than three wills, all prace
tically the same, and if the first to be
probated was broken the next could be
submitted, and if that, too, was declared
invalid, there remained the third, thus
assuring endless litigation at enormous
expense. Rather than see the fortune
divided among lawyers, the heirs decid-
ed to compromise. Mrs. Chapman, the
nurse, loses heavily by the compromise,
and she will receive but 1000 instead
of the $50, 600 specified in the will. Abra-
ham squires of st. Joseph, Mo, and
Fred Squires of Savannah, Mo-, will
receive twice their original legacy, or
respectively $4,000 and $4,000 each.

Negroes for Northern Offices.

to offices in the northern states where
there are large negro populations 1t is
understood that he viii appoint white
men to fill the Offices in the south now
held by negroes as soon as the terms of
the incumbents expire. The appoint
ment of northern negroes to offices in
their own section is the Presidents idea
of the proper compensation to the race
for the loss of offices south.

Saving Half the Concrete.

A farmer Of Morgan County, Ill,
found that he could save more than
half the usual amount of concrete in
paving the lot around his horse barn.
by using defective vitrifed brick
which he bought at the factory at So
cents per load. Laying the brick on
edge, as for pavement, and leaving
large cracks between, the concrete was
used simply to fill these cracks and
all uneven places and make level
surface. The surface was left rough
and this pavement has proven salts
factory after much wear.
