CHOOSING THE LESSER EVIL
sammy's Experience Advised Him Of
Wisdom Of Selecting His Own
Punishment.

In Sammy Small's neighborhoo<
there lived family of boys who were
irresistibly charming to Sammy, but
not to Sammy's mother. In fact.
Sammy's mother forbade him ever to
go over to play with those boys again.
and threatened punishment should he
disobey her.
But one day Sammy disappeared.
and his mother made inquiries. She
learned that Sammy was over playing
with the irresistible boys again. Ac-
cordingly, when Sammy returned from
his visit he found his mother looking
very stern, and with a remarkably
square, forbidding lap which suggest
ed spanking.
Sammy was promptly taken to task
and stood for a moment looking thor
oughly miserable Suddenly he bright.

How often do you eat this food7
A short time ago there appeared in
the columns Of one of the prominent
magazines an article on building brain
and muscle by the proper selection Of
the foods you eat.
A good many people were surprised
to find oatmeal placed at the top Of the
list of foods recommended; but II the
article had appeared in an English or
Scotch paper every reader would have
expected to see first place given to
good oatmeal.
AS a matter of fact Great Britain
and Europe come to us for tremendous
quantities of Quaker Oats because it
represents to them perfect food. being
the richest In flavor and best in clean
illness and purity. Of all oatmeals.

MANY ACRES SET TO ORCHARD
Western Slippers Expected to Plant
More Ground to Fruit Culture
Than Ever Before.

With all the planting that has been
done 1t now looks as II 1t were only
scratching as compared with the
great work the western slopers are
going to pull OF. More acres will be
set to orchard In that region this
spring than have ever been set in one
year since the fruit industry began.
The bug Is for more winter apples of

the list is narrowing down until finally
1t is expected that the recommended
tion will be for only two or three sorts
for general planting. All OF the irri-
gated sections have been heavy pur-
chasers Of nursery stock. The COM
pletion of some large irrigation prof.
ects during the coming year will mean
another large area of new orchards in
the future. Several companies on that
side Of the mountains will be putting
out thousands of acres and some
people are wondering when the thing

DAIRY NOTES.

Save the heifers from the best milk
cows.
Don't add sweet cream to sour. then
churn right away.
Don't let high prices tempt you to
sell your best stock.
Use clover or alfalfa hay or bran
to balance the corn ration.
Follow the directions that come with
the separator and save trouble.
When cows teats are sore use vase
line and she'll stop stepping around.
Cows relish a change and for that
reason will sometimes eat rotten hay.
Good wheat bran is hard to beat
as milk producer. II properly mixed

The cream separator enters into
the matter Of the production Of pure
cream as one Of the great factors Of
cleanliness.
Washing the farm separator is much
easier than washing the full quota Of
utensils as they were used before the
day Of the separator.
Dairy cows are unlike beef ami
mails. They are not protected from
the cold by a thick coat OF flesh. They
must be protected and kept warm or
they will use the feed you give them
to warm themselves.
