STORING PLANT FOOD
FOR PRODUCING ENERGY
Place and Manner of Storage Composition to
Starch Some Ported Compounds
Century Plant Popular.

after the plants food has been
made in the green leaves, what is
done with it?" This is the natural
question which students of plant life
ask themselves. Careful investiga-
ton shows that some is variously
changed and used in the leaves them
selves, some is carried to other parts
of the plant where 1t is needed for
the production of energy and the
building up of new cells, and the
surplus is stored away for the future
needs of the plants. The place and
manner of storage differ widely in diff
ferent plants. Sometimes the surplus
Is accumulated in the form of various
sugars, very often as starch and less
frequently as mucilage similar in COM
position to starch or some proteid
compounds.
There are difficulties encountered in
storing this surplus food just where it
Is made. 1t may so obstruct the cells
Of the leaf that food making is hinder
ed and leaves are usually rather
small so they can contain only a small
reserve. Besides many plants retain
their leaves for a few months only,
when they fall to the ground to be
replaced by others when another grow
ing season arrives, hence reservoirs of
food are usually larger and more per-
manent organs. Small amounts of
starch and sugar are usually kept In

How Brides Roses Led Her to Tears

He had to stay outside and hold the

pleasant gatherings which have at
tended, the Mother Goose party takes
the lead. Invitations to the effect
that Mother Goose" will be pleased
to welcome her goslings at the resi-
dence of whoever gives the entertain

fully two weeks In advance. The re-
quest to come In costume representing
some one of the characters found In

con, tea and sometimes breakfast are
served on the bare table, whose shi.
ming surface is protected from the pos
sible scratching of the plates and 9TH
err dishes by mats or doilies. nothing
could be more acceptable to bride
to-be than a set of crocheted mats.
The doilie shown today has the advan-
tage of being quite simple of manu-
facture, and is decidedly dainty and
beautiful.
BY increasing or diminishing the
number of rows one may make this
design sufficiently large for center
piece, or small enough for tumbler
doilie.
BY making six doilies of the size
given and joining them with sim

KINDNESS TO
FARM ANIMALS
Gives to All of Them That Kindly
Disposition Which Makes Them
Quiet, Tea h bic and
Reasonably Safe.
(By s. c. MILLER.)

There is always a way to over.
come fear in our domestic animals
and that is by kindness, Kindness from
the day of their birth, and continued
as long as they live. This gives to
all of them that kindly disposition
which makes them accommodating,
quiet and teachable, and safe. 1t
makes them loving and loyal. 1t
adds to their length of life. A horse
Of fretful disposition is old at ten,
while one that has quiet disposition
may still be young at twenty. 1t is
strange that we do not learn this.
How often does a young man just
starting in life, buy a good team of
young horses, and in order to make
them appear to have much spirit ana
life, checks them up high, cracks his
whip over them, and sometimes
strikes them, drives them fast with
heavy wagon. and sometimes with
O span of plugs, or perhaps one
is dead, and the owner is a poor man,
whereas, another man with kindly
treatment, keeps similar team for
20 years, doing incredible amounts OF
work, and hard work, and yet he never
,rets them, and never has required Of
them anything they were not able and
willing to do. They have made him
rich, and he has made their lives
happy.
In Paris, it is said, horses are treat
ed more cruelty than anywhere else
in the world, and because Of this
treatment, though they have the best
street draft horses in the world, the
Percheron, they live on the average
but three years.

ey by her milk.
Why, the COW is actually fighting
for her life during the hot days un.
less she is properly cared for, and If
she gives drop of milk 1t is more
than she ought to do.
Cows drink a surprisingly large
amount of water every day If they
can. In herd of a dozen some Of
them will be taking a mouthful every
hour of the day where these is run
ming stream or cool, clean water In a
trough.
If cows have to travel half a mile
three or four times a day in hot
weather to get drink they will GER
tainly lose in the milk-giving power
every time. 1t isn't nature to keep up
normal supply under such condi-
tions.
1t is not an uncommon sight to see
cows running wildly across the sun,
scorched field, mad with thirst and
the torment of flies, In search Of
shade and water.
Is it reasonable to suppose the milk
supply can be kept up when cow is
In such misery? Hardly.
A COW Is a milking machine and
should be treated as such. II she is
of good dairy blood, has good food,
clean water, shade, and is kept free
from worry, she will pay her way
every time. But even COW has her
limitations

KANSAS CITY, Mo.-When Willie
N Boy got married he bought his
wife flowers, of course. And after the
wedding Mr.. Willie Boy naturally de-
cided to preserve the flowers to look
at for all time by picking them in
alcohol. That was all right-it didn't
cost much, just So or $3-but there
was a 700-mile trip before Mr.. and
Mrs. Willie Boy got home.

bottom of one of the trunks. Then

came. Willie Boy carried the remains.
