Declaring
Her
independence

HI k1IR2SIS1UIl the constitution of her
l[olE-2l1l country.
Her father had been
a soldier and her grandfather before
him and when she was so little as to
be unable to get up into a chair with
out being lifted, she had to sit solemn
ly by the side of her sisters and
brothers and listen to tales of hero
ism told by her father.
On every Fourth of July, as regu'
larly as that date rolled around, Gloria
and all the members of her family had
been forced to sit patiently and re-
spectfully in circle about the old
dining room while their father read
impressively-so she had believed
every word of the declaration of in
dependence.
No frecrackers, no torpedo no cele
bration of any sort took place in the
West family until after this patriotic
duty had been done. And then the
old flag was drawn high on its pole
and the various members OF the
family we're allowed to celebrate In
their own ways.
Gloria was nineteen now, and
though her father had long since
passed on to the resting place oil
brave soldiers. the old custom OF
reading the declaration on the morn
ing of every Fourth of July still pre-
vailed in the family.
And there were many candidates
for the place at Gloria's side. The

town would gladly have joined th'
circle even though II meant absolute

RUNNING THE DAIRY RIGHT
People Willing to Pay Big Price for
MIX II They Are Sure That
Il ls Clean.
CIV r. N. srERLINa.)


We take pains to let our customers
know how we run things in our dairy
and charge two cents more than we
used to get for our milk. Our Gus
toners pay 1t without grumbling, for
they know our dairy Is immaculate
and our milk pure and clean, and ]
believe we could get an extra two
cents II we had the courage to ask
for 1t. know a farmer in New Jersey
who has built up dairy herd Of 200
COWS aAd BY producing certified milk
gets 90 cents quart and cannot sup
ply the demand. OF course he has q
big market in New York, you say.
That is true, but he manages to sell
every gallon Of his milk in towns sur
rounding his dairy, II miles from New
York city. This goes to show that
there are always enough people, even
outside the big cities, to buy milk
which they know to- be absolutely
clean. and at prices great deal high
er than they have been paying for
ordinary stuff dipped out Of rusty
can by slovenly milkmen.

wnere Two Empires Meet.

Most travellers enter Russia by wa,
Of Alexandrovo from the west, but
those who venture on the beaten track
occasionally cross the frontier by way
Of Galicia and Brady, where the first
station on Russian soil is Radziwillov.
The surrounding country is fiat and
fertile; the peasants are Of Ruthenian
origin: the land owners are Poles; the
officials Russian; the traders In town
and villages are generally Jews. 1t Is
from this district. which is not often
visited by Englishmen that the Radzi-
will family takes its name.
The Radziwill country, the border
land along which two empires have
ebbed and flowed, does not at first
seem very attractive to the casual
traveller, but those who have lived
there and have learned something OF
the racial strife that has long divided
the district and that still divides It
are not long in finding that it exer-
cises a subtle fascination over them.
Yet 1t would fail them to put this fas-
cination into words or to analyze the
sentiments Of which it is made up.

POULTRY NOTES.

Keep no breeding stock that is
weak.
Use the eggs while fresh for hatch
ing.
Supply grit and fresh water. Pro
vide shade.
Do not overfeed or overfatten the
parent stock.
Feed the ducklings not only grain,
but meat or milk (protein food in
some form) and plenty Of green food.
Both mites and body lice accumu.
late very quickly in hot weather. and
cause no end OF trouble.
Farm folks are seeing from their
more up-to-the-minute neighbors that
good housing and feeding pay big
returns on the work and investment.
AS a rule more may be obtained for
4 two-pound chick in the summer than
for one twice as heavy In the fall, and
much feed. work and risk saved.

MUST BE HANDLED GENTLY.
80. Lace Easy to Spoil II Proper
Methods Are Not Employed In
the Washing.

rossessors Of real lace are often
AFRAID to trust the cleaning OF it to
strangers. But it can quite well be
oone at home II the following hints
are borne In mind:
Inc great thing to remember Is that
soap should never be rubbed on lace
II ruins the color. Dissolve In warm
water enough soap to make a lather
Add few drops Of ammonia. and nut
the lace in it. Let 1t stand for ten
minutes. Souse 1t up and down in
the suds. and squeeze it gently be-
tween the hands. Never rub or wiring
It, as this is apt to break the threads
especially If the lace is very fine.
Next put 1t into another lot OF snds
prepared in the same way, and squeeze
It until all the dirt is removed. Rinse
1t In two lots Of clear water.
Genuine old lace should be steened
In warm milk for at least half an hour
and then squeezed dry. This gives It
the correct yellowish tint

POULTRY LIKE GREEN FEEDS
Regarded - Absolutely Necessary
Where Fowls Are Confined
In Summer.
By MILLER PURvIs.)

! regard green feeds as absolutely
necessary to the welfare OF poultry,
old and young. both summer and win.
ter. Where fowls are kept confined 1t
must be supplied to them and where
they have full liberty it may be fed
to them with profit during the months
when vegetation is somewhat burned
by the heat.
A letter from friend exactly coin
cides with the experience. He writes
that last summer he had a batch OF
rape which he cut and fed to his hogs
He says his hens ate this rape as
greedily as they would If they had not
been shut up where they could not be
out to find grass for themselves. ]
have noticed this more than once.
Throw out lot Of fresh lettuce
leaves where the hens can get it and
they will eat it up clean. Cabbage
stumps thrown out to the hens will
be picked clean. even where the hens
run at large
Those who must keep their hens
confined will find that small plat OF
rape will furnish large quantity OF
green feed during the summer.
It will be large enough to begin
cutting In five or six weeks and as
soon as 1t is cut of will throw up new
shoots. thus renewing itself constant.
ly, 80 the same ground my be cut
over time after time.
Lettuce or dandelions make very
good green feed for laying hens OF
growing chicks. There seems to be
some medicinal property about both
these vegetables which promotes good
health In the fowls.
Both are easily grown and furnish
a good supply Of feed II the tops are
cut OF instead Of pulling the plants
out by the roots when gathering the
feed.
Turnips and beet tops. mustard, pea
vines and all other tender green stun
will be relished, and save much feed
of q more costly kind.

MANY WORDS FROM ONE ROOT
interesting Reading at This Time
When SO Many Are interested
In Aviation.

We say that aeronauts ny" and We
use a correct word OF very ancient
lineage, though its first users had no
thought OF applying. 1t to motion
through air. but confined it to the idea
OF moving through water. So really
when we fly we are swimming through
the air, for the water association has
chung to the entire family Of flying"
words in all Of the Aryan languages.
1t has been a large family that has
sprung from the Aryan root "plu,"
which, when 1t reached the Anglo-Sax-
on, became "flu"-the change from
the. "p" to the "f'' sound being quite
common. That root to our Aryan an
cestors conveyed the idea Of swim
ming through water and was after
ward extended to motion In q buoy
ant manner in any supporting medium
and finally has come to have wide
variety Of meanings from moving like
a bird through the air to flying" into
a passion and flying" as q rumor
flies.
That little root "plu' has grown In
India and in the Sanskrit has been
preserved intact, meaning to fly or
Jump. The Hindus call the frog "pla-
va" because he Is jumper. In the
Greek we have "pleein." to sail or
float. The association with water is
found in the Latin ''pluyia," which
means rain, and gives US Jupiter Plu-
vius. When we reach the Teutonic
the "f'' sound begins and we hare the
base 'flut" on which the Enelish
words rest. IN the Anglo Saxbn there
is "fota" ship. because It floats in
water, and In the Icelandic are exactly
the same word and meaning. Our
Swedish brother has "flotta" for q
float or raft. and in Danish It is
clyde meaning to flow. The Dutch
bring in their ~" and have "vlot" for
a raft.
That root has given US scores OF
words in the English language. From
fleet" several ships that float" on
water, as well as fleet" to move
swiftly like flowing water, or like an
object through water.
