Where one has the room and is ar

two yards (not necessarily large),
one to be kept for growing green

Soldier Victim of Rare Affliction

His remarkable recovery and the
fact that he retains his reason are
the most remarkable features of this
case. While he is alive, in good
health and able to walk around the
streets and converse with his friends
and acquaintances, Dunn is handi
capped by the loss of all sense oil
smell or taste and has lost the sight
of his right eye. Despite these af,
fiictions he bears his lot with forti
tude. He cannot enjoy a meal, for nc
matter what choice viands he may or
der, he cannot relish them any more
than he would bareback and salt pork
The loss OF the sense of taste he
looks upon as his worst affection.
Tommy Dunn. as he is known among
his friends, Is q ward of the govern.
ment, though not of his own choosing.
for he has relatives and influential
friends who take care of him and look
after his comfort at all times. His
impaired eyesight has proved an OBJ.
stacle toward his securing employ,
ment, and idleness is something he
breads because of his Affections. His
only amusement Is to join several con.
genial companions and tell stories OF
past experiences, or to take street car
rides or journeys through the country
in automobiles. He cannot go to the
theater, being handicapped by partial
blindness and fearful lest the glare OF
the lights shall impair the sight OF
his remaining eye.
AS ward of the government Dunn
must report at Washington or some
ether military headquarters at certain
periods and to undergo the periodical
examination required by the surgeon

Among the Bees.

The queen bee is the mother of all
bees, and one fertilization is sufficient
during her entire life OF usefulness
Therefore, by simply replacing the
queen with purely mated Italian
queen the entire colony will be
changed to that race, and II the change
Is made during the summer months
the change will be completed in about
three months time.
Moth worms are practically un'
known in apiaries Of Italians or their
crosses. To get rid of the moths In
hives of black bees remove the black
queens and introduce INFESTED Italian
queens in their place, and as soon as
the bees of the Italian strain begin to
hatch they will make short stay OF

Day Spent in Circus Beats School

the circus learns more about animals
in one day than he can learn from
the teacher of nature study class in
year
THE trained animals of circus
are an object lesson that cannot be
beaten anywhere, and for this reason
every school teacher ought to attend
the circus. The performances of the
animals prove what conscientious and
continued training will do. If the
school teacher put as much effort in
the training of children as the circus
trainer gives to the training of per.
forming pigs, the improvement shown
by the school children of today would
be remarkable.
"The influence of the circus is
broadening for the reason that 1t
shows so many things which seem
impossible to the average person, but
which are really done with apparent
ease. The child who attends circus
gets an entirely new idea Of expert
horsemanship and of skill In the per-
Torrance of physical feats, and for
educational value.
"Then schoolroom work is done In
the most perfunctory way when there
is a circus in town. The minds of
the children-not nearly all of the
children are there-are not upon the
work. and the/teacher can put no life
in his or her tasks. The teacher
knows all the work will have to be
gone ever the following day."
Professor Fairbanks is almost eighty
years old, and he has been elected su.
perintendent Of the public schools

by side or at opposite sides of the
poultry house, just to suit the con.
venience of the land and the owner.
This method Of alternating. blowing
and planting one yard while the other
is being pastured not only serves the
purpose for which 1t was originally
planned, but the additional advantage
of completely covering up all filth and
putting a fresh surface in use. The
latter is about as important as the
former. Some poultrymen claim the
advantage of permanent pasture,
which is so good SO far, but such
green stuff is not eaten and relished
in such amounts as fresh growing
