A man who was travelling the or

before typical Arkansas farmhouse
to inquire the way.
What's the news?" asked the
mountaineer, as he leaned his lank
frame against the fence and pulled
his long beard thoughtfully.
On finding that what had become
a part of history was news to him,
the traveller asked why he did not
take some weekly or monthly peril
odical, that he might keep in touch
with the world at large.

ABANDONED 1T
For the Old Fashioned Coffee W.
Killing.

II always drank coffee with the
rest of the family. for 1t seemed as
II there was nothing for breakfast
If we did not have it on the table. 1
II had been troubled some time
with my heart, which did not feel
right. This trouble grew worse
steadily.
Sometimes it would beat fast and
at other times very slowly, so that
would hardly be able to do work
for an hour or two after breakfast,
and ii walked up hill, it gave
me a severe pain.
II had no idea of what She
trouble was until a friend suggested
that perhaps it might be causel by
coffee drinking. / tried leaving of
the coffee and began drinking
Postum. The change came quickly.
/ am now glad to say that am en-
tirely well of the heart trouble and
attribute the relief to leaving off
coffee and the use of Postum.
"a number of my friends have
abandoned the old fashioned coffee
and have taken up with Postum,
which they are using steadily. There
are some people that make Postum
very weak and tasteless, but If it is
boiled long enough, according to d.
rections, it is a very delicious bey-
erage. We have never used any OF
the old fashioned coffee since Postum
was first started in our house."

WHEN AN EGG IS FREsH.

Doctor Wiley, the sage of the De-
partalent of Agriculture, at a recent
meeting Of a Congressional Committee
which is investigating the cost OF
food; was asked the question when
does an egg cease to be fresh?"
That question" replied the Doc
tor, a win answer. If you tell me
when 3 pig ceases to be a pig and be-
comes a hog?"
incidentally the Chief Chemist not
only explained, but demonstrated
practically an infallible method Of
telling when eggs are fresh. He had
. big glass beaker three-quarters
filed with a ten per cent solution of
table salt. Into this he dropped eggs.
All the absolutely fresh eggs i'm
mediateay sank to the bottom, while
tho eggs that weren't quite so fresh
iioated quarter or third out Of the
water.
He indorsed his method and said
it was possible thereby to prosecute
and convict any dealer offering cold
storage eggs as the strictly fresh
country variety. Doctor Wiley stated
that he now has only two inspectors
supervising cold storage methods, but
with twenty-five Of them he believes
it possible to keep close watch over
the industry all over the country,
and with the adoption of regulations
prescribing the length of time allowed
20 food Stunts to remain in storage,
the public would benefit thereby.
He stated it as his belief that with
q tank OF suitable proportion egg
storers could test 5000 eggs at time
before placing them in storage, in
order to determine the freshness OF
the product, for unless the egg IS
nerfectly fresh before being placed

MONEY IN POULTRY.


Did you ever stop to consider the
vast amount of money represented
by fancy poultry throughout the
United States? For instance take the
Chicago show with 1920 birds, the
Missouri State show with 52S1 birds,
and the Oklahoma State show with
5000 birds, all held at about the
same time. Place an estimate on
their value, which It is safe to say
would be at least $4,000 per head,
or the vast sum OF 1926, $4,000 Then
think of the number OF birds which
these breeders have in their yards at
home and the value that they repre-
sent, and then think Of the thousands
and thousands Of breeders that did
not exhibit at either of these three
shows and the value of the birds
owned by them. Do this and then
let any one tell you there is no money
in fancy poultry, Well, we will be
surprised at you of you do. Farmers

Hens fed on alfalfa meal lay very
fertile eggs, which produce strong.
vigorous and hearty chicks. They
will mott quicker in the fall and
commence to lay earlier in the sea-
son. For laying hens put several
quarts of alfalfa meal into closed
vessel, then pour boiling water over
the meal until it is thoroughly moist
ened; cover the vessel and let the
mixture steep for awhile. Just be-
fore feeding dash little cold water
over the feed. This brings out the
green color. and makes it as much
like green grass as any winter feed
can be. Some prefer to mix the meal
with table scraps or grain, both Of
which add palatability and variety

II our BOYS and girls are as good

no trouble at all filling in the lines
left out by the artist when he made
this picture. The bee is really won
derful, and it's well worth while
making his picture and reading all
about him in this true story.
The most highly developed. the
most intelligent among all insects, is
| the bee. And MS you may know from
personal experience he is the most
persistent.
Perhaps you've been chased by a
! bee after you annoyed it. And ii So.
you remember that the bee never
gave up the chase until he got" you

way the bee flies, straight ahead and

OF the world, but they are more plen-
tiful in warm climates, for they de-
test cold weather. There are 5000
kinds OF bees.

And among all these thousands Of

mother She is known as the queen
! In a colony OF $4,000 there are about
! 1000 males. known as lazy good-for-
nothings. They are called drones and
all the rest ar ethe workers.
The queen is interested in one
thing only. TO increase the population
Of the colony. and In warm weather
one queen has been known to lay as
many as 5000 eggs a day. Funny
thing about the drones is this: After
the swarming season is over the
workers pick out all the drones and
