The Average Farmer.

Farms In the United States pro-
duced $S.760, 100000 in 1909. But did
the farmer get his share of it? We
read whole lot about the American
farmer being king and we are told
of the farmers sporting automobiles
and sending their children to college
or to Europe If they have been given
the college course, but 1t Is the one
best bet that the average farmer is
no plutocrat. The farmer is consid-
cred lucky If he can keep the interest
paid up on the mortgage, and II final
ly, after years of hard labor. he owns
his place clear Of all indebtedness he
is considered well off. The American
farmer is long way from being the
real ruler Of the country.-Field and

Winning His Way.

A man past middle age, gray and
neatly dressed in black, on New York
car remarked rather loudly that it was
fine day. and that he was glad he
had come to the United States. He
seemed to know all the policemen as
the car went along and the street
cleaners and street repairers as well
exchanged salutations with him. He
was familiarly known as John" to all
of them. The passengers were amazed
at the alacrity with which they all
espied him, far and near, and respond
ed whenever the old man waved his
hand. He was In exuberant spirits,
and policeman who. seemed to take
an interest In him asked: "Well,
John, where are you going now?" The
old mans face frightened as he re-
piled: II am going to put in the
newspapers how we'll I've done since
/ came to America" What have you
done? Tell u.s." asked passenger
alphabetically. We'll, I have been
working few years as street sweep
er, and have Just been promoted to a

What Becomes. of the Corn.

People often wonder, particularly
those who have Travelled for hundreds
Of miles through the corn belt, what
becomes Of corn which is grown every
year. In the year 1908, when the to-
tai crop was 2,666.0O0,OOO bushels,
241,000,000 bushels were consumed in
flour and grist mill products, S,000,O 900
bushels in the manufacture of starch,
100000 bushels for malt liquors, IT,
100000 bushels in the production of
distilled liquors, 4O,OO0,OOO bushels for
glucose. 190,000,0OO bushels for export
and 100000 bushels for seed, MAX
ing total Of 51S.OOO,OOO bushels, or
1913 per cent of the entire crop. The
remaining S0.7 per cent, or 2,11S,-
100000 bushels, seems to have been
used almost entirely for feeding.

It is natural for every man to want
to get the best possible when he goes
in to bring out some new farm ma
chine. This often brings fellow to
grief, however, since the desire to
spend as little money as possible
sometimes causes the purchaser to
take the cheap machine. II confront
ed with a proposition to take sulky
plow, for instance, that will last five
years for $25, or another that will
last ten years for $35, which one
would you take? Which one would 1t
pay you to take? This is about the
sum and substance of buying cheap
farm implement. 1t may not seem
that way in the warehouse = when
each tool looks gaudy with paint, the
cheaper one looking even the more
gaudy-but in actual work, in the
rough and tumble of the ranch, this
is about the way 1t always turns out.

Milo Good for Dairy.

Milo can take the place of corn in
feeding dairy cows, and will yield an
average Of twice as much grain an
acre as corn in dry regions. In seasons
so dry that corn will be total failure
milo will usually yield fifteen bushels
Of grain or more an acre.
The heads of milo may be snapped
from the stalks and fed to COWS CIV
ing milk. This is an economical way
to feed this grain, as COW has to
chew head a considerable time be-
fore she Is satisfied to swallow it, and
the more she chews 1t the better IL
will digest.
The whole heads may be ground
without threshing, and the small
stems that hold the seeds form, when
ground, good material for diluting
the meal and making IL more easily
digested.
The threshed grain may be ground
before feeding. 1t does not pay to
feed unground threshed grain, as the
COW chews the whole grain but little
before swallowing it, and a large pro-
portion passes into the MANURE undi-
gested.

Above the hopper pair of roller bear
ings studded with blunt, pyramidial
teeth are in close relation. A handle
turns these rollers, while the mouth
of the hopper opens over the table,
where a dish can be placed beneath it.
The pods are inserted between the
rollers end foremost. AS the rollers
are turned the teeth engage the differ
ent shells Of the pods and rip them
open, allowing the peas to roll down
into the bowl. The shells are then
tossed out the other side Of the
"wringer." OF course, the two rollers
are not close enough together to crush
the peas. but Just close enough to en-
gage the pods.

Death Among Chick..

The trouble which causes the death
OF many young chicks Is commonly
known as white diarrhea. Different
breeders have different theories as to
the cause of this trouble, among them
being a lack of vitality of breeding
stock, improper feeding and poor ven.
tilation. Lack Of sunlight and imper-
feet sanitation cause the death Of
many chicks. The diet should contain
sufficient quantity of animal food
and the chicks fed often and not al
lowed to get so hungry that they will
devour large quantities at times and
then fast for long intervals. South

Santa Barbara National Forest, and
five hundred in the Monterey National

The cost of living problem has now
struck France. The government, which
maintains a monopoly Of the tobacco
and match trade, Is caught with the
goods. Not only has 1t raised the
price Of these commodities, but 1t has
reduced the number Of matches in the
box and is selling tobacco in short
weight packages Its excuse for the
latter proceeding is that the moisture
which was in the tobacco when 1t was
packed has evaporated. The increase
in the cost OF cigarets has excited
the boulevardiers to such frenzy
that, should absinthe become dearer,
there will surely be a revolution.

Green Food FOR Chick..

Growing chicks demand green food,
and by all means give them plenty Of
grass range If you have 1t; II not,
supply them with an equivalent, such
as lettuce, cabbage, weeds, clover. al

popularity is due largely to the BELIEF
that 1t makes 1t easier for the voters
to control the action of their party.
1t is urged In Its favor that It destroys
the power of the machine" and
makes 1t impossible for the bosses"
to consummate corrupt agreements
among themselves. The friends of the
system say further that 1t makes the
party Immediately responsive to the
will Of the majority through the elm
ination Of the unnecessary nominating
convention. In spite Of its growing
popularity, many thoughtful men re-
gret that 80 much Of the time Of the
legislatures has been consumed in the
consideration of plans for changing
the machinery by which nominations
are made and officers chosen. The
only merit which they can see In the
change Of system is that Its discussion
attracts attention to the need of vigi.
lance in government. They insist that
the convention system has produced
good results and is responsive to any
emphatically expressed demand Of the
party. AS a device for carrying on
the details of party management, when
the mass Of voters Is Indifferent, they
maintain that 1t is unsurpassed, and
that the admitted abuses under 1t are
no worse than those which will arise
under any other system. But discon.
tent with the nominating conventions
is widespread, and the discontented
say, LET us try the new plan. 1t can
not be any worse than the Old" And
so the aspiration for better things is
behind the movement.

Any Woman Can
Have Beautiful Hair
From French Beauty Monthly


mo woman should use water upon
her hair oftener than once in two
MONTHS, says NJ. Fourier the noted
French scientist, Dry powder only
should be used. Moisture causes the
hair to lose its color and in time be-
come thin.
ANY woman desiring abundant, lus-
trous hair should use dry shampoo
every two or three days. Mix four
ounces of powdered orris root with four
ounces of therox. Sprinkle about q
tablespoonful Of this mixture upon the
head; then brush the powder thorough
ly through the hair. This will keep it
light and fluffy, and beautifully lus-
trous. You will soon see the new hair
starting to grow. This treatment is
the only thing that 1 am sure will pro-
duce a growth of hair.
while plain orris root is used as a
dry shampoo by many women, still, no
such results can be obtained as by US
ing the formula 1 have given"
