THE MAKING OF THE FLAG

How did We make the flag?
 By rule? By compass and square and line? With pattern and thread and the sempter's tool, To follow the plain design? Was it only the lore that the draftsman knew That gave us the red and the white and blue? How did we made the flag?
 Not all By measuring stitch and seam. For part of it came from a eoun try call And part of it is a dream Is a vision that led brave souls alright And gave us the red and the blue and white. Es~7 How did we make the flag?
 In peace We fashioned it fold on fold: Tn war it was blent with a grim caprice
 The drums in their summons rolled. Twas the courage alike of the quick and dead That gave us the blue and the white and red How did we make the flag?
 Twas thus It came to it's grace and worth Through all that Is good in the souls of us The banner has had it's birth. Twas the holier strength of the purpose true That gave us the red and the white and blue. Thus have we made the flag
 An, no By colors that win not fade, By sinuous sweep and by death less glow, Iris IFS that the flag has madei And it whispers today to each star told state, 'Yon must hold me high and must make me. great !"

How to Recover From
 Your Vacation

If you want your employees to work the better after their vacation, let them down lightly" advises a medical authority. for the first cou- pie of days after they are back. It will pay you to do so.
 And if you are an employe, and want to ger to work today feeling bright and cheerful after your spell of doing what you like. very good means to that end is, according to the same experienced doctor, to walk part of the way to town.
 The employer who tries to get the normal amount of work out of his employees just after a holiday is acting very unwisely and ad- versely to his own interests" said this doctor
 His capicity after a holiday is not, in fact, more than 50 per cent of what it was before. But if he is nuTsed' a little he will soon pick up to the 100 per cent, and go on to about 120 per cent, the extra 20 per cent being due to the good effects Of his playtime
 A man who wants to get the full benefit of n1s holiday should not get back to the ordinary routine suddenly. The body is very much creature of habit, and during the holiday 1t has got into the habit of having more food and exercise than usual.
 Therefore. the best thing to do Is to walk part of the way into town, even if 1t does mean getting up an hour earlier. Then his body will have something to which it has grown accustomed. and it will not revolt when he is sitting working in the office
 "On his holiday the employe has most likely been feeding up and ! taking a lot of exercise. He has been eating extra food because the | hard exercise made him hungry. He comes back to town with the same 1 appetite, but, unless he does as ' ] advise, he does not take the exer- { else to work off the extra food. He will possibly find himself down 1 with an attack of gcut caused though 1 he does not realize it, by oYer-eat ing
 ! He feels just as hungry as he | did when on holiday. because he has got the hunger habit from plenty oi exercise, but now he is not takine the exercise to warrant the hunger hence the gOut.
 The man who is too lazy to walk | part of the way into town should get up from his meals still feeling hungry for the first few days after his return from holidays"

National Master Bachelor in an ad
dress before the 44th annual meeting
OF the National Grange, used the fol-.
lowing language:
The increased cost of living is a
most widely discussed question, for
while there has been q marked ad.
vance In retail prices Of farm prod.
ucts, 1t is mistaken idea that the
farmers are receiving proportionately
higher prices. The great discrepancy
between the price paid the farmer and
the cost to the consumer is due to
several causes. among them being bad
roads. which increases the cost of
marketing the crops; excessive
freight charges. based on watered
stocks far exceeding the value of the
railways; and the exorbitant profits of
the commission houses and others in
the chain of communication between
the producer and the consumer. An
encouraging sign Of the times is the
formation Of associations of farmers
ior the purpose Of eliminating these
abuses. and securing fairer treatment
IN the matter of freight charges, stor-
age charges, etc. The general adop.
tion OF such cooperative methods by
the farmers would give them larger
profits and at the same time reduce
the prices paid by the consumers of
the towns and cities for food stufrs :"

BERRIES YIELD BIG PROFITS
Farmers Forming Cooperative Sell.
Ing Companies to Get Best
Prices for Fruit.

When the berry season is on in
those sections surrounding big mar.
kets like Chicago, New York, Phlla.
delphia, Boston, Providence and the
principal southern cities, agents for
all the large commission houses are
stationed at the different railway
stations where they meet the farmers
when they arrive with their heavily
loaded wagons and make bids for
their various lots.
or course the highest bidder gets
the berries and the money is at once
paid over to the farmer. Next to
dairying perhaps berries are the best
cash crop farmers raise.
In little town of only 5000 inhab.
itants in New Jersey the past season
as high as $4,000 was paid for berries
in single day.
Berry farmers are now forming co.
operative selling companies through
which all their fruit is sold in common
and the money is distributed to the
growers by their own agent, who at
tends to the selling.
On an acre Of rich cultivated land a
crop Of berries can be grown that will
net $500 or even more. An acre Of
such land should produce at the rate
Of 200 bushels. A short crop is gen.
orally caused by land deficient in fer.
tility or plant food. Such land can be
benefited by composted manure and
turned under and top dressed. Large
amounts Of commercial fertilizer is
also used by various growers and
ashes broadcasted Is also favorable
application.
Improper preparation Of the soil is
another reason for short crop.

ever, the depth Of the plowing should
be adjusted to the nature OF the soil.

have this advantage, however; they
may be plowed much sooner after q

tBy F. G. HERMAN.)

In considering the requisites for
cessful bee wintering, 1t may be well
to note that success is frequently
hinged upon very small things. The
neglect in attending to the small af-
fairs of life is sure to bring about dis
aster.
Bees starve to death with honey
in the hives, and sometimes that with
in two inches of them, from the fact
that during cold weather bees form
themselves into one compact body,
and when all the honey is consumed
within their reach, unless the weather
is warm enough for them to change
their location from one part of the
hive to another, in order to reach
their stores, they will surely starve
with plenty of feed near them.
This is usually the case with single
walled hives, hence the option of chaff
hives to confine the heat arising from
the bees. Bees usually move toward
the warmer part of the hive. If the
sun shines on one side of the hive in
cool or cold weather the cluster goes
to that side. have often had col
onies eat out all the honey in one end
of the hive, and leave the other end
full.
AS to passageways through the
combs, there is difference of opinion
However, my experience leads me to
conclude that they are unnecessary.
1t is true that they afford an oppor-
tunity for an outer portion of the clus-
ter to reach an adjacent inner comb.

part on using woolen blanket or

Protect the Birds.

The ruthless shooting of birds
should be stopped right now. 1t is
true that in some sections Englis,
sparrows and hawks are the only
birds killed promiscuously. The peo.
pie In those sections OF the country
look on other birds as friends and
protect them. This should be true all
over the country.
Robins, turtle doves. mocking birds,
quail and q number Of other valuable
birds have almost been extermInated

vate the higher taste and think of our
interests and cease to slaughter our
best friends-at least to the point Of

to the SURFACE of the combs. which
by the inexperienced is often mistak-
en- for mold.
The bees also must be kept dry. A
substantial hive, with a tight roof,
will keep out the rain.
A few inches of dry, porous material,
such as chaff or ground cork packed
between the cluster and the roof, will
have a good effect on keeping the bees
comfortable, allowing the moisture to
pass off slowly.
A draught would be injurious. We
advise wind-break of some sort on
the north and west sides of the hives.
Also guard against the mice, and have
the hive entrances shallow and long,
rather than round.
Do not neglect the bees; see to 1t
that they have food enough and 10
spare. Bees differ from other farm
stock in this respect, that they can
be given their full supply of food Al
once and they will help themselves
as their need requires. Plenty OF
good food above the cluster Is what
takes them through every time.

FARMER AND THE MlDDLEMAN
President Worst of North Dakota
Agricultural College, Talks on
EMANCIPATION Of Agriculture.

President ]. H. Worst, Of the North
Dakota agricultural college, sees some
discomfort up his way in the expense
attached to marketing the farmers
crops. In an adrdess on the emanci-
patton of agriculture. delivered to the
graduating class on the occasion of
the seventeenth annual commence
ment. his striking conclusion is that
the farmer must get rid of the middle
man. He said:
From its strategic position, agri-
culture could easily regulate the dis
tribution of the chief forms Of wealth
1t produces, or at least have a voice
IN the organization Of the machinery
necessary for distributing 1t among
the consumers of the country. More
over. the financial gain that would
thus reward the producer would not
be the only nor yet the chief advan.
tage that would accrue. The effect
upon the country itself would be most
salutary. Higher education would be
directed less toward the desire for
making of the other fellow. Agricul.
ture would also acquire the habit OF
attending more largely to its own bus.
mess affairs. The consumer mean.
while would more nearly secure his
goods at prices determined by the
law OF supply and demand.
I Under the present regime, however,
the farmer can neither regulate the
price Of what he has to sell or buy.
He is completely at the mercy OF
those whom he supports. Most coun.
tries OF Europe have been forced long
since by sheer necessity to dispense
with all but necessary middlemen

best way to accomplish this is to con.
fine the fowls where they have but
little chance to take exercise. Give
them fine cracked corn. grit and all
the pure water they will drink, Keen
them as quiet as possible. and for this
purpose It is better to confine them
