An anecdote that win appeal to all

manner in which young Poole, a son
Of the well-known English tailor, ad-
ministered a lesson in manners to a
snob who sought to offend him.
The episode occurred when the
young tradesman began to develop q
taste for society, Despite the oppo-
sition of several aristocratic persons
he found q way to have himself ad-
mitted to one of London's most ex-
elusive clubs, and Of course his de-

so hot for him that be would have to

BENEFITS IN USING CEMENT
Il May Be Probably Employed In
Many Ways About Farm and
Costs but Little.
By J. .. BR1DGEMAN.)

The proper use Of cement supplies
so many needs on the farm that the
following article on cement brick ma
king, Is sure to be Of great value to
every ingenious farmer.
Cement brick may be easily made
on the farm, and used for all purposes
for which clay brick, or stone are now
used, and they may also be used for
some things that clay brick or stone
could not be used for. The cost in
most cases will be less than the clay
brick.
The illustrations show the mold for
making the brick, also six Of the
finished brick on the drying palette or
board.
The two sides of this mold are
formed Of 2x6-inch timber; the IL
center cross pieces are of Ike boards,
while almost any lumber may be used.
Hard wood, however, II smooth and
straight is preferable.
The brick are supposed to be 2x4xS
inches and set as shown on one face.

No court would receive them; no ruler
accept their invitations. They were
Stunned as outcasts. The Servians,

AS queen she was paying courtiers
cruelty for snubs she had received in
earlier days, was wrecking the lands

high Offices and (being childless) per-
suading Alexander to name her own

Yet the foolish monarch worshiped
her. Inspite Of rumors that they often
quarreled, one English visitor to Bel

FARM NOTES.


The garden record book is very val
liable.
The best stock builds up earliest,
swarm first, and are the best to gather
honey.
The cost Of seed Is Insignificant, COM
pared with the Importance Of a good
stand of corn.
The most expensive elements Of a
balanced ration, protein, for instance,
can be grown In abundance on most
farms.
Peanut butter has become a staple
article Of food, and It has characters
tics that give 1t special place In the
affections Of the housekeeper.
AS conservators of fertility and aids
to the growth Of other members Of the
plant kingdom, the legumes act a part
remarkable in economy and unique In
science.
Every year, when the gardening
season arrives, the question Of the
best varieties arises. This can be cas-
lily determined by keeping records Of
each variety.
Many gardeners are now planning
for bedding plants, and some are
doubtless hesitating because Of the
cost Of the plants. The cost will be

The campaign being conducted by
the Colorado Agricultural college In
an effort to get milo generally grown
as q feed crop on the plains of the
state has called forth a great deal Of
inquiry concerning this crop.
Milo belongs to the family of plants
called sorghums. The sorghums are
divided into two large groups-the
sweet or saccharin sorghums, and the
nonsaccharin sorghums. These differ
chiefly in sugar content, and yield Of
seed. The sap Of the saccharln
sorghums is sweet, and the nom
saccharip sorghums have no sugar in
the sap. Milo belongs to the nom
saccharin group Of sorghums. It re-
sembles Kafir very much in appear.
ance and habits of growth, which il
quite natural, considering It is a close
relative of Kafr. It is frequently
called milo maize, but this name is In
correct, as 1t is not maize.
Milo grows erect. with thick. short
jointed stalks. attaining an average
height Of from four to seven feet. The
grain is borne in heads at the top OF
the stalks. These heads reach a con-
siderable size and are relatively short
and compact. Where the stand is thin.
the heads get very large and turn
downward by their own weight With
thicker stands the heads are smaller
and stand erect.

Cemetery Undergoes Curious
Revolutions.

An interesting object is to be seen
in cemetery of OhioI-a large gran
tie stone weighing two tons, in the
shape of ball, which is gradually
turning ON its axis. During the last
five years, SO 1t is said, this ball has
turned a fraction over 10 inches.
When the ball was placed in position
an unpublished spot six inches In diam
eter was purposely left in the socket
of the pedestal wherein it rested. A
little later it was noted with astonish-
ment that this spot was turning up
ward on the south side of the monu-
ment This curious revolution Of the
polished ball, to lift which would re-
quire large derrick, is supposed to
be due to the suns action, in the fol-
lowing manner: The solar rays heat
ing one side cause the ball to expand
to certain degree whereas the north
side, which rests mostly in the shade
does not expand to the same extents
thus causing the ball gradually to
shift its position by turning.
