This home exists for the children, ="
once heard father say. with an air
of having pronounced a decision in
court. The man was a Judge on the
bench and rather given to oracular
statements in the family. He had
risen rapidly in his profession. but |
could not agree with him when | saw
that his children under seven were
helped at the table before their moth

had received the slightest had received

attention. The little sentence was
apologetic and accompanied by a
smile, but the alteration for children
thus expressed was weakness. Not
so had the foundation of character
been laid for the successful barrister
in his early home among the granite
hills of New England
For whom does the home exist?
Not alone for husband. for a wife
or child, but for each and all who
dwell together, united by the ties OF
blood and common affection, who
know one another as only those can
who meet in the informality of daily
2ompanionship and whose interests
are subtly blended. United we stand,
divided we fall" may be written over
every hearthstone. In a childiess
home husband and wife or brothers
and sisters have continual need of re-
freshment and reinforcement in all
that makes for strength, faith and
hope, and the home exists just as
much for them as it does for the
parents who have their children to
bring up and educate for their share

and homemade candy.

AOULTERATIOR
MENACE TO FARMERS;
CAUSES MUCH TROUBLE

One of the serious problems con
fronting the farmer to-day is that of
seed adulteratdon.
1t is estimated that 40 per cent OF
the clover seed bought three years
ago nothing but weed seed. The seed
was most commonly used in adulter-
ating clover seed, lis yellow trefoia or
yellow clover. This plant is a native
of Europe and is commonly grown IN
Germany and England. 1t has a lit
tie value in the spring as a pasture
plant, but i'm the fall it becomes
woody and unfit for pasture.
INSCRIPTIONS seed dealers put
large quantities of this seed, which
obey obtain at a small cost in clover
seed which sells for a high price. In
this way they make a large profit
Causes Farmer Trouble.
This weed causes the farmer
endless trouble. 1t is a plant which
propagates itself, both by seeds and
from it's roots, 1t is extremely diff
cult to get rid of. II left alone, II
will soon overrun and kill out a clov'
err field.
Tre6oil is not the only weed spread
by a~dulterated seed. In an expert
ment recently conducted three areas
of ground ten feet square were sowa
with clover seed purchased from
seed dealers stock. These thre'
plots averaged f%iftythree vigorous
specimens of ribgrass. Two othe'
areas twelve feet square averaged 81
species of ribgrass and three WIZ
oarrot plants. In another plot OF SIM
liar size, highflowering catchfi
corn-oockle, and bull thistle wer
found.

MEXICO HAS POND
FILLED WITH OVER A
THOUSAND GOLD FISH

Few Mexico residents are aware
that we have a pond within the city
limits fairly alive with gold fish. The
pond Is on the Hanley property IN
North Mexico and an estimate by Leo
Hanley places the number of gold al
silver fish in the pool OF water over
several thousands.
A nmber of years ago Leo Han
ley liberated four gold fish in the
pond which at that time had no ouher
fish in 1t. Before a year passed
these four had multiplied until there
were half an hundred. This was QUIT
awhile ago and since that time the
pond has filled rapidly.
Some of the fish r unusually
large for their genus and when the
