Ended Cats solourn.

Felix Smith of Easton. Pa. bought
a cat the other day. He paid IS for
her. Why did Felix pay five bucks
for the cat? Answer-Because she
was guaranteed to be a good ratter.
Did Felix have rats? We should say
he did-the house was full Of EN-!
And the cat cleaned 'em out! No;
that's the curious part of 1t. After
the cat had been on the job week
the rats were as plentiful as ever.
Felix couldn't understand 1t until one
evening he concealed himself In the
basement to watch the cat. About 8
p. m. as the cat sat with her eye on
a rat hole, Felix says that rat after
rat came out of the hole, walked up
to the old cat. kissed her goodnight,
and then returned to the hole. After
that Felix kicked the cat out of the
house.-Boston Post.

STRONGER THAN MEAT
A Judges Opinion of Grape-Nuts.

A gentleman who has acquired ju-
dicial turn of mind from experience
on the bench out in the Sunflower
State writes a carefully considered
opinion as to the value Of Grape-Nuts
as food. He says:
For the past 8 years Grape-Nuts
has been prominent feature in our
bill of fare.
THE crisp food with the delicious.
nutty flavor has become an indis-
pensable necessity in my familys
everyday life.
at has proved to be most healthful
and beneficial, and has enabled us to
practically abolish pastry and pies
from our table, for the children prefer
Grape-Nuts, and do not crave rich and
unwholesome food.
"Grape-Nuts keeps US all in perfect
physical condition-as a preventive of
disease 1t is beyond value have been
particularly impressed by the benefi-
cial effects of Grape-Nuts when used
by ladies' who are troubled with face
blemishes, skin eruptions, etc. 1t
clears up the complexion wonderfully.
"As to Its nutritive qualities. my ex-
perience is that one small dish OF
Grape-Nuts Is superior to pound Of
meat for breakfast, which is an impor-
tant consideration for anyone. 1t sat-
isles the appetite and strengthens the
power of resisting fatigue, while its
use involves none of the disagreeable
consequences that sometimes follow

Two ladies seated at afternoon tea
fell to discussing the prowess of their

After each had related several feats
of endurance and hardihood, one Of
them remarked that her husband had

minutes, without coming up to take

SELECTION or POTATOES.

IS. SELEkyTIONz OF POTATOES. !.
sii We have noticed, IL attending a
humber Of count fairs that some of
the people who have exhibited potatoes
pc these fairs have made very little
effort toward selecting uniform and
desirable tubers. While farmers are,
in one sense, independent and can
raise any crop they wish, if they
would get the lest price for their pro-
ducts they must raise the kind OF pro-
ducts tnat buyers want. Large buyers
OF potatoes, who are really the people
who make the market for potatoes,
prefer ana will pay more for smooth,
medium sized uniform potatoes than
they will for large, rough potatoes or
potatoes not uniform IN size. They pay
more for two. reasons: First, tue
smooth, uniform potatoes can be
peeled with much less waste than can
the other kind of potatoes; second,
these smooth potatoes can be peeled
much more cheaply, often with the
pairing machine; while with the
rough, irregular potatoes it is impos-
sible to use the pairing machine with.
cut very great waste.
The grower Who wishes to please
the customers, and thus get the top
price for his products, will be very
careful in selecting potatoes, espe-
cially for seed. In selecting potatoes
tor seed another point besides uui-
formity and smoothness must be con.
sidereo; that is. one must know the
general character Of the type of pota--
toes grown, and hold closely to that
type in his selections Potatoes are
likely to run OUT If the seeds not are
carefully selected. One of the first in
dicatlons of running out is the slight
tapering at the seed end; and no pota-
tloes having tendency to taper at the
seed end should be used for seed. It is
possible to MAINTAIN, and even to i'm
prove variety of potatoes grown In a
locality, it careful attention is paid to
the selection OF seed and the prepare
tion of the soil.-A. u. Wilson, MINI.
