Henry Lemassena. clerk in the New
ark customs office. Travelled extern
sively before he settled down in this
city. When asked to tell some of his
experiences while globe-trotting Mr..
Lemassena declared that he spent the
most exciting hours of his life near
Yellowstone Park, in Wyoming. w
were descending one of those steep
mountains out there one day" he said,
land it was really wonderful how
the altitude will affect a stranger. The
paths are not very wide and unless a
person is used to them he had better
trust to the mules they have for that
purpose. We started down on foot
and at a particularly dangerous prec-
ipice a traveller in front of me was
overcome and staggered around.
He seemed to have lost control of
himself and 'sembled a man who had
imbibed too freely of cooling bever-
ages. l went to his assistance, but
the stranger did not take kindly to
me, or anything else for that matter.
He persisted in swaying to the edge
of the narrow road and almost sue
ceeded in sending me with him to
eternity. When we got back to a
lower level it took a long time for
the victim to come to his senses. He
was clearly an altitude victim"
Wallace Ougheltree, director of the
Board of Freeholders, when informed
that William ]. Kearns, personal coun-
sci for Sheriff william Harrigan. in
tended to mandamus the board to COM
pei the payment of salary claimed by
Kearns to be due him, sat quietly back
in his chair and remarked.
'Mandamus us. Well, he might just
as well. Everybody seems to be damn
ing us, so a one-man mandamus won't
hurt us any"
Herman H. A. Schmidt has had a
suspicion for some time that the perfor-
mances given by the opera company
at his park were relished by suburban
residents. But the urbane Mr.. Schmidt
received a distinct SHOCK to his 270
pounds of avoirdupois last Saturday
evening at the witching hour of 6:45
when Mr.. and Mrs. Furman William
son, DR.. and Mrs. T. Vassar Britton
and Mr.. Walter Britton. all of Fleming
ton, N. j., speeded through the park
gates in a forty-horse power touring
car and announced that their sole pur-
pose in covering the fifty miles of
lineal feet was to partake of a plank
steak and enjoy the performance.
one hundred miles to eat steak and
hear opera is going some" commented

SAVING MOISTURE IN SOIL
More Can Be Done In Thirty-Slx
Hours Following Rainfall Than at
Any Other Time.

BY W. c. PALMER. North Dakota Asri-
cultural College.
In the saving Of moisture in the
soil many of us are a good deal like
b rabbit in the fable. In the winter
time he was always speaking of build
ing a house next summer. When sum-
mer came and he was reminded Of 1t,
he answered. Every bush is a house
now" When a good shower comes we
ought to get the moisture into the soil
and keep 1t there. We have no assur-
that We will have more rain right
away; that there will be enough to rip
en- the crop. to put the soil in good con-
dition for blowing, to leave the soil
with a good moisture content for next
spring. More can be done in the SO
hours following a rain than at any
other time. If the soil is too dry. then
save what little moisture is left. Re-
member that moisture cannot pass up
loose soil.

Red Cross Christmas Seals.

The National Association for the
Study and Prevention of tuberculosis
will this year for the first time be ma.
tional agent for the American Red
Cross in handling the sale of Red
Cross seals. A new national office has
been opened In Washington. and an
initial order has been placed for 50,-
100000 seals. although it is expected
that double that number will be sold.
The charge to local agents for the
seals will be 12h per cent. of the gross
proceeds. the national agent furnish
ing the seals and advertising material.
and taking back all unsold seals at the
end of the season. Postmaster Gener-
al Hitchcock has approved of the de-
sign of the seal. Owing to the fact
that many people last year used Red
Cross seals for postage. the post Office
department has given orders that let
tiers or packages bearing seals on the
face will not be carried through the
mails.

him to put across the big question.
He did not look well. Something
seemed to be troubling him. He tried
to say something. but the words stuck
in his throat. and the girl, noticing
this. turned the gas even lower.
Suddenly he turned to her and
cried. I'm a dub"

others do. perhaps. Tee heel"

INCREASE YIELD PEA ACRE
Quantity Of Water Required to Pro
luce Grain Becomes Smaller a.
Fertility 10 Improved.

One Of the mos important recen,
discoveries In the handling Of crops
and especially of grain is that in ref
erence to the relation of soil fertilit,
and moisture. Experiments have
brought proof that the quantity Of
water required to produce a bushel o
grain becomes smaller as the fertility
OF the soil increases. 1t requires twice
as much water to produce a bushel Of
grain on an infertile soil as It does on
fertile soil In good tilth. says the Kan
sas Farmer. Tests showing this re
III have been made both in Europe
aDd America. In every case the more
fertile soil, either through tillage OF
the use Of manure or Of commercial
fertilizers. the less the amount OF
water necessary for the production OF
each bushel of grain.
The greater portion of the plant food
In the soil is inert until by deep pillow
ing. thorough tillage and early prepa-
ration 1t is made available to the
plants. Such treatment holds moisture
deeper In the soil, the air and the
gases work on the inert earth and the
moisture helps dissolve the plant food.
increasing the number and action Of
bacteria In the soil, these bacteria
manufacturing plant food from the
earth particles.
A wheat grower who gives his fields
the minimum amount of tillage, only
d1sking his land, does little toward
making tho fertility available and 2 200
pounds Of water or more may be re
quired in his fields for each pound of
wheat harvested. The grower who
follows the plan Of shallow blowing Sc
cures some increase in fertility, but
not enough to use the moi,ture to the
best advantage.
Early preparation OF land. deep pillow
Ing and constant cultivation until 1t IL
In good filth. with spring narrowing,
makes the soil SO fertile that only
one-half as much moisture is re
quired to produce a bushel Of grain
as 1t required with slight preparation
Intensive tillage double the
service from the rainfall.
Commercial fertilizers and manure.
after becoming thoroughly incorpor-
ated In the soil, have the same effect.
Rotation with legumes and summer
fallowing similarly increase the grain

is the surest way to double ,r treble
the yield per acre.

FOOD AGAIN
A Mighty important Subject to Every
One.

A Boston lady talks ENTERTAINMENT
OF food and the changes that can be
made in health by some knowledge on
that line. She says:
AN injury to my spine In early wom-
anhood left me subject to severe sick
headaches which would last three or
o days at a time, and a violent
course Of drugging brought on consti-
patton with all the ills that follow.
My appetite was always light and
uncertain and many kinds OF food dis
tressed me.
Ibegan to eat Grape-Nuts food two
or three years ago. because l liked the
taste Of 1t. and ! kept on because l
soon found 1t was doing me good.
Il eat 1t regularly at breakfast. fre-
quently at luncheon, and again before
going to bed-and have no trouble in
sleeping on it, 1t has relieved my con-
stipation. my headaches have practi-
cally ceased, and I am In better physi-
cal condition At the age Of 63 than /

POULTRY NOTES.

The shady hooks are relished by the
hens.
Lime water is a healthy drink 70,
young turkeys.
Let your young chicks have all tn,
sunlight possible.
Be sure that the ducklings have
| plenty shade and water.
A portable poultry house is an ad
mirable arrangement for young tur
keys.
Kaffr corn is an excellent ration for
poultry if fed in connection with other
feeds.
Cleanliness is an essential sanitary
condition for all animals. but particu-
larry so for birds.
Scraps from the kitchen are not
very acceptable TO turkeys. They like
all their food fresh.
Keep the dust box supplied with
nice clean dust, and see that the grit
box is never empty.
It is always undesirable and unnec-
essary to feed condiments to hens TO
stimulate them to lay.
Do not hold cockerels for market
too long after they reach the weight
of four or Eve pounds.
Oyster shell is absolutely the best
shell-making food for the hens. Keep
II before them constantly.
The poultry house should be con-
structed with a view to its frequent.
easy and thorough cleaning.
II is best never to attempt to bring
turkeys up In the muck yards. or let
them associate with old fowls.
One of the first problems which the
noultryman Is called upon to solve Is
The location of the poultry plant
A ten dollar rooster Ii generally
cheaper than a two dollar n The
good blood will tell the second year
The ventilation of the poultry house
should be provided for In such a way
that draughts Of air will not strike
the birds.
The roost and nest boxes should be
movable. SO that all parasites which
collect upon them may be reached
and destroyed.
The conditions required for the
maintenance of health and vigor IN .

REQUIRED for other animala

where Dropping branches flung q shade;
IL loafed beside the leafy nook
Where butterflies In summer played;
~ crept along among the fields
Where birds sang welcomes to the morn
And where. proud with Its clashins

There stood the army Of the corn
The little road roamed idly on
Across the valley sweet the dew,
Until the silver sky Of dawn
Changed into one of deepest blue;
The rugged cliffs forgot to frown
Upon the little road that wound
Around them to the little town
The solemn cliffs asked: WHITTIER

1t rambled through the village street
Where swaying fences hemmed it in
The roses. tremulous and sweet
Asked what the goal it thought to win
But on the little o now went
With newer dreams and newer will
Until at last well nigh forspent.
1t climbed atop the highest hill.
And then 1t ran away. It ran
To where there gloomed the city's
smoke:
It heard the rumble of the van.
1t heard the hammer, stroke on stroke:

straight
All, 1t recalled the breeze that leased
The roses at the swaying gate!
And It remembered all the hooks
Where lazy trees through browsing
Moons
Bent. listening to little brooks
That lulled the flowers with their
croons;
And it thought Of the peoples bold
Tina flung their banners in the wheat
Now 1t was firmly in the hold
OF city wall and city street.
And day n night and night and day
1t heard the roses calling low;
From far and far and far away
Called all the joys it used to know;
The grass that bothered 1t one time
Called to the road hat 1t come home
And find the hills 1t used to climb
Before 1t thought that 1t must roam.
The little road would often yearn
To seek again the meadows fair.
But 1t was never let return,
Was forced the city's toll to bear
And there be men who make their moan
OF binding way and grinding load.
And dream Of joys they once have known.
As does the foolish little road.
