She Got the Soul.

There was bashful young man who
was invited to dinner party and was
paired with the prettiest woman in the
room. His seat at the table was in
front of the roast fowl, which he was
to carve. And there was also a fried
sole>1n front of him. And he had new
er done lick Of carving In his life, for
he was a bachelor.
But he made the best of the situation
by asking the lady at his side what
she would have.
"a little of the Sole," she replied.
He began to cut of a slice of the
chickens breast.
"No, no-the sole." she whispered.
Now, where was the soul Of hen ?
He thought for a minute, and then at
tackled the wing.
THE sole, the solew cried the lady.
He looked for the feet, but no soles
were left, so he tried a drumstick But
she still shook her head and said, "No.
only want a piece of the SOLE"
Then did this young man arise in his
wrath, stick fork through the fowl
and put it all on the woman's plate.
'eTake it." he shouted-"take il, body,
soul and allw
Then he helped himself to the fish,

TIMELY HINTS
FOR FARMERS
FORAGE For Growing Pics.

Much has been said and written re-
garding the economy of providing sue
culent forage for the growing of pigs
in the summer season. yet great
many farmers continue to keep their
pigs confined in small pen or yard
with little. if any, green feed avail
able.
In case a good pasture lot can be
provided for the growing pigs this is.
of course, the cheapest method of pro
viding the needed green forage for
them, but where this cannot be con
veniently done it will pay to cut green
forage for them each day Glover is
the best available source of this needed
green feed upon most farms, but va
riety of green feed can be cheaply pro-
vided In this way. especially where
only few pigs are kept.

Good Times in Kentucky.

While grass mas been cut lit
tie short this year, the wheat
crop in Kentucky was never bet
ter, and the prospects for bum
per corn crop is now in sight. The
price of hogs, cattle and sheap is
good After all what right has
Kentuckian to complain unless it
is at the brand of politicians, and
this year there is a noted i'm
provement of these in both the
contending parties, says the
Clay City Times.
With bright prospects for corn
and tobacco, and steadily increas-
ing values for live stock, the sit
uatiOn in Kentucky has improved
wonderfully, and a decidedly mo-
re optimistic feeling prevails in
business and banking circles, CIV
ing to the market a tone and con-
fidence almost equal to the bal
my period of high prices that
have prevailed the past year or
two.

How to DehOrn a Calf.

The best way to dehorn a calf
is 20 prevent the growth of horns,
before they get a start, by the
use of a little caustic potash.
The operation should be per-
formed when the calf is from one
to three weeks old, or as soon as
the button of the horn can be dis
tinctly felt when rubbing the
hand over the poll. DR.. Burton
Rogers of the veterinary depart
ment of Kansas, tells how to go
about the work. The only arti-
cles necessary with which to de-
horn are a sharp pair of shears
or clippers and a few sticks of
caustic potash and a little water.
Back the calf into a corner, or
into any narrow place and put its
head between your legs, holding
it firmly. Find the out-growing
horns and clip the hair from the
spots about one inch in diameter.
Then take a piece of caustic,
wrapper with paper at one end
to prevent burning the fingers,
and moisten the other end slightly
and rub an the coming horn Be
careful to get none on the skin
of the animal except over the
budding horn.
The ease with which this can
be done. it's rapidity in healing,
and the minimum amount of pain
it causes the animal make it one
of the most humane and modern
methods of preventing horns.
Do not use this method while
the flies are aboutunless you can
protect the animal

FLOWING UNDER
SWEET CLOVER,
As a Soil Restcrer the Plant
Equals Any Of the Legumes.

As a soil renovator, according to
Wallace's Farmer, sweet clover is full
ly equal If not superior to any Of the
other legumes. Especially Is this true
when the tops, as well as the stubble
and roots, are plowed under as green
manure. In an Illinois investigation
it was found that an acre Of thrifty
sweet clover contained in the tops,
stubble and roots DDS pounds OF nj
trogen, which is more than double the
amount found by the Delaware sta
ton in an acre Of alfalfa or red clover
On account Of its rank growth sweet
clover adds great amount Of humus,
the Illinois station finding that a good
acre Of sweet clover yielded ga tons
of dry matter, which would furnish as
would twenty-five tons Of farm ma
nure. If the entire crop is plowed un-
der sweet clover certainly ranks very
high as a soil fertilizer.
The chief question is not whether
sweet clover is good when used in this
way for restoring soil fertility, but
whether it can be grown on the given
piece Of soil. Possibly the soil may
need lime, ground rock or phosphate
or incubation with sweet clover root
bacteria.
Other conditions favorable, sweet
clover should succeed when sown with
oats cut for hay at the rate of ten to
twelve pounds of hulled seed to the
acre.

individuals Versus Breeds.

In the selection of hogs for breeding
animals more attention should be paid
to the individual qualities of boar and
sow than TO the particular breed
Breed alone does not determine good
breeding stock. A pure bred boar Is to
be preferred, and both boar and SOW
should be rather of a medium than an
extreme type of the breed represented
Under present conditions farmers
find it most generally profitable to
raise the larger breeds of hogs, the
sows producing more pigs at litter
and growing more rapidly in weight
than the others.

sILos IN THE DRY COUNTRY.

The Kansas Agricultural college di-
rectors have come to the conclusion
that silos would be real boon to the
farmers in the western part of the
state and with this idea in view will
next winter build silo on the state
farm at Hays. Kan. A half section
Of land will be devoted to the expert
put in charge of the work with view
to demonstrating its feasibility for
other farmers In the territory men,
toned. Kaffir corn, milo maize, In
dian corn and sorghum will be given
trial in the experiment. Some idea Of
the results to be expected may be
gathered from some feeding tests with
Kaffir corn ensilage last winter at the
state farm at Eureka. Ten steers fed
Kaffir corn ensilage, cottOnseed cake
and alfalfa hay made an average gain
Of 127 pounds each in period of fifty
nine days, while another group fed the
same length Of time on dry shock corn
fodder, cottonseed cake and alfalfa
hay made a gain of but ia pounds
each. Not. only did the Kaff1r corn en-
silage cost. less than the dry shock fod-
der, but t. steers which were fed on
the former went on to pasture in the
spring in much better condition. The
silo will not only provide succulent
ration during the period Of drought
and short pasture, but it will make
possible the securing of corn, sorghum
or milo maize that is about to be burn
ed up with hot south winds. The full
results of this Kansas silo experiment
will be watched with great deal of
interest.

A WORD TO The GIRLS.

A little while ago there was para.
graph in this department directed to
the class of young men who are inter-
ested in nice girls and have hazy idea
of some day asking them 10 share
homes with them. yet Who have not
sensed the fact that it takes money to
furnish home. This week we have
a suggestion or two for some of these
same girls and others who may not
have realized the fact that II takes

Watermelon Rind sweet Pickles.

Pare your rind on both sides,
cutting off the red and green
carefully. cut your rind into small
pieces of any shape you may
prefer and throw them into salt
water. About an inch and a half
long by an inch wide is a conven-
lent size. Let them remain forty
eight hours and then soak them
over night in clear water. In the
morning put them in a kettle and
cover them with weak alum wat
er, letting them steam not boil
for three or four hours. Then put
them into clear cold water and let
them stay until the next day.
Make syrup of one and a half
pounds of light-brown or white
sugar to every quart of vinegar

same way as you do for pickles
and instead of using the vinegar

white sugar and as little water as
you can in making the syrup, say

Neglect of Flock Cuts Profit.

The average American farmer con-
siders for the most part that sheep
will take care Of themselves indefinite
ly and that they should thrive on the
odds and ends of the farm and the
leavings of the other stock.
Never was greater mistake made.
The farmer who invests his money in
sheep must make up his mind to stay
with them all the time. They need
protection from predatory animals and
from bad weather, and above all they
need to be guarded against the raw
ages of internal parasites.

HUMOR OF THE DAY
A Provoking Mistake.

A Chicago man who started out one
day recently to attend a wedding went
astray and got into a house where a
funeral was being held. He was a lit
tie late and was conducted through a
rather dark hall into a back parlor,
where he found a vacant chair. I'm
fortunately it was impossible to see
from where he sat just what was GO
ing on i'm the front room, where the
preacher and corpse were located. lie
was able, however, to hear distinctly.
The preacher was in the middle of his
discourse.
at is true" he was saying, that this
is most solemn occasion, but let us
try to look upon the more hopeful side.
1t may all be for the best. Who among
us can tell? Let us remember that be-
hind the darkest cloud the sun still
shines. 1t is our duty to try to believe
that our friend has entered into hap
pier state. 1t is true that he will min
gle with us no more; we shall not
again be cheered by his bright smile.
All that once seemed so dear to him he
has had to resign; he has met the COM
mon fate, but it is not for us TO decide
that this is to be the end of all for
him"
Unable to restrain himself any
longer, the man who had wandered
into the wrong house leaned over to-
ward one of the former friends Of the
deceased and said:

lick that fellow" - Chicago Record
