a Kitchen Drama,

you are, all dressed for the afternoon,
walking a half mile to get here, and
your family no smaller than mine.
Mrs. 8. K-That Is easy to explain.
Mrs. L. K-Why! What do you
mean?
Mrs. s. K.-You have walked need
less half mile in getting your meal,
because Of the size of your kitchen.
Here is the range on one side ten
feet from the table, the sink on the
other side an equal distance; the pam

have made several trips to the cellar.
Let me have a pencil: A dozen
trips to the pantry and return makes
24O feet, two dozen trips from stove
to table, $50; six times from stove to
pantry, a distance of Is feet and re-
turn, $50.

clearing up after a meal. At least
half the walking could be saved by a
properly arranged kitchen and proper
planning.

Caution of Martens and Foxes Is
Taken Advantage Of by Hunters
In Northern Maine.
Il Al
= S'

Olamon, Me.-A curious feature OIL
trapping fur bearing animals in the
woods of northern Maine is that In
many cases the hunters are enabled
to succeed by reason OF the extreme
caution of the animals themselves.
Along the swift waters Of the upper
Penobscot river the most valuable fur
Is that Of the slim and alert fisher
cat, or marten. The American fisher
Is one of the most cautious creatures
OF the forests and streams, and only q
Few Indians and white trappers have
the secret Of Turing 1t to the vicinity
OF traps. The fisher will never nego.
tiate anything but live fish for bait,
and will never approach its food save
from the shore side of a stream or
lake.
AS rule when winter fishermen
catch trout through the ice they pass
on from hidden eddies to deep holes,
chopping canals in the surface ice as
they go, which when filled with wa
ter are used to hold the live trout I'M
til they return over the same stream
later in the day. The trappers OF fish,
er cats. finding half torpid trout
squirming about in the icy water,
make ready to carry out their plans
The fiat trencher of stout steel trap
Is baited with live trout, which hao
become too weak to spring the mech
anism, and deeper water canal than
usual is chopped far inshore, if pos
sible under a limb of an overhanging
tree.
The fisher never walks up or down
the stream on the open ice, but clings
close to the shore. At the sight of
the living trout on top of the ice the
fisher creeps out cautiously and hav-
ing made sure the coast is clear leaps
directly from the shore or the tree on
top of the trout, only to be clutched
in the Jaws of the trap.
In most parts Of New England foxes
enter baited traps set in running wa
ter without great hesitation. Further
north along the Allagash river not a
fox will enter trap save through
strategy, although the bait may be
scented with secret preparations cost
ing much money to buy and use.

down 80 per cent in a few years.
Parents seldom give the child any

only sure way to impress on a child's
mind that it should be careful in the

schools.
"The children should be taught how

PROFIT IN LEGUMINoUs CROP
No Excuse for Poor Land and Stock
Where Nitrogen Gathering Plants
Can Be Grown.

Leguminous crops mean rich land
and fat stock. One acre of Spanish
peanuts grown on poor land at Cal
houn, La, contained 1872 pounds of
nitrogen, worth at commercial fertili-
Izers value at least s35. An acre of
velvet beans contained 1911 pounds,
and an acre of cowpeas 10S pounds.
These crops made from two to three
and half tons OF feedstuffs, richer in
food elements than wheat bran.
When such nitrogen gathering plants
can be grown and fed to stock with
out serious loss in fertilizing value, is
there any excuse for poor land and
poorer stock? Professor Duggar at
the Alabama station found an acre Of
Spanish peanuts on poor gravelly land
produced 600 pounds OF live weight Of
hogs, and an acre Of cowpeas about
400 pounds. No country on earth has
such advantages for growing soil i'm
proving plants and feedstuffs and yet
no country wears out more land and
buys more bacon. lard. mules, horses
and other stock.

HEN RESTORES A LOST COIN

Tarrytown Man, Picks Up Nickel
He Had Dropped.

Tarrytown, N. Y.-John Grohan OF

intelligent hen in New York state.
The hen, which is a white Leghorn,
is pet, and Grohan has taught it
many tricks.
Grohan, who is employed in larry
town, has to take the trolley every
morning. The hen follows him to the
tracks, and when he goes aboard the
hen turns around and goes home.
Grohan oversight once, and he was
in such hurry to catch the trolley
that he forgot about the hen until he
boarded the car. He heard Topping

the hen looking up from the ground

European or American requirements
and, aside from its home use, 1t goes
largely to Japan. Egypt can hope ia
devote but little additional territory
to this culture and Russian prospects
are very limited. The main hope,
therefore, for a material increase in
the production of cotton must remain
in the United States. Here, aside

and methods OF culture.
According to the Bureau of Stalls
| tics of the United States Department
Of Agriculture, the area planted to
cotton in 1909 was 32.292.0o0 acres.
but the bureau estimates that 1884 900
acres, or AZ per cent, were aban-
doned, leaving 3O,938, 900 acres, as the
area from which the crop was har-
vested. There was reduction of 40
per cent in the area harvested and of
24.1 per cent in the production In
1909 The average production per acre
in 1909 was 1876 pounds compared with
1876 pounds in 1908. 1t is interesting
to observe that between 1879 and
1909 the acreage increased 1881 per
cent and the production 97.8 per cent.
However, the crop of 1908, amounting
to about 13,432,13 running bales, rep
resents more nearly the normal pro-
duction, and shows an increase OF
1906 per cent over the crop Of 1879.
In 1889 Delaware, Maryland, Indiana
and Illinois all produced cotton, Illi-
nois alone contributing more than
5000 bales. Stimulated by the high
prices following the civil war. cotton
was cultivated to a limited extent in
West Virginia, Nevada, California, ILL
nois and Utah, from all of which
states it subsequently disappeared. |

In 1909. California also has resumed

The number of establishments
which ginned cotton from the growth
