NOW IS TIME TO

To get the best service from our
tile drains we must look to their &C

especially 80 during the winter and
spring season.
AZ much as one-halt the tile drains

The owner in such condition.
On our farm our tile drains empty
chiefly into large open bitches and
creeks and are quite easily kept from
sloggins, wet with q little careless

Method of Filling Gasoline Heater.

Method of Filling Gasoline Heater.
trusted with kerosene-heated brood
ers can manage gasoline-heated ones,
with equal safety.
The common points of error which
result disastrously are: allowing too
much gasoline to run into the gener-
ating cup; applying match to the
generating cup before the control
valve is closed; attempting to light
the burner after it has blown out in
some manner and the bottom of the
burner box is covered with gasoline.
AZURE, that is, it can be turned very
low for use in mild weather or will
All of the above should be carefully
avoided.
The burner should always be turn
ed out and the wheel valve closed
while the tank is being filled. To
light the burner open the valve and
allow the gasoline to fill the general
ing cup nearly full, then close Light
the gasoline and allow it to burn out.
Open the control valve and hold
lighted match over the top of the
burner. This will give bright blue,
cone-shaped flame, which should new
er be turned so high as to show red.
See that the house stands level. If
it tips forward the gasoline which
would flow if the flame should be
extinguished would remain in the
burner box. Never light the burner
while there is gasoline or vapor in
the box.

A GREAT DIARY COW

Missouri Chief Josephine, has brok-
en- the record in her native state as 2
milk producer. At four years of age
she produced 92.7 pounds of milk in
one day, or the equal of forty-seven
quarts. At the Missouri State Fair last
fall, she was placed in prettily deco
rated booth, with forty-seven quart
bottles filed with milk, representing
her days production, arranged in pyr-
amidal form above her. Her years
record is 1914 pounds of milk. This
is equal to 7,710 quarts of milk.
On this number of quarts twenty
one babies could subsist and thrive
for one year. Made into butter it
would supply five average families a
year. The milk turned into cash would
send the farmers son to an agricul-
tural college for two years. This fine
COW is Holstein.

Tomato Salad.

You may make this in half a doz-
en- ways. The simplest way is to
peel the tomatoes with a keen knife,
then slice and arrange upon a dish,
with an underpinning of lettuce or
without and season with fresh dress
ing.
Secondly, peel and halve, arrange
upon a dish and put spoonful Of
mayonnaise upon each half.
Thirdly, peel and halve rich, ripe
tomatoes, sprinkle lightly with salt,
and lap upon each half a spoonful
of whipped cream.
Those who have never eaten this
preparation cannot guess how deli
clous it is.

Asparagus and Rhubarb
Easily Gr0Wn.

Asparagus and rhubarb are too de-
licious vegetables that even the most
careless farmer may have in abund-
ance if he gives them a chance to
grow. Both contain medicinal quail
tiles Of the highest value. Asparagus
Is one of the best remedies for kidney
troubles, and rhubarb takes the place
of nauseous physic in putting the sys-
tenn in good working order without
violently disturbing the functions. A
small plot devoted to each of these
will be good investment, and there
is time enough to make a start this

LET There BE LIGHT

One of the famous streets of the
world has acquired the nickname of
the "Great White Way" because of
the brilliant illumination that marks
it from one end until it is lost in the
stately residence region of Riverside
Drive. The stranger approaching
New York at night sees this band of
sparkling light stretching through the
city, making the streets on either side
seem dismal and gloomy in compari-
son, although they have supply of
electric lights that would make them
seem well lighted elsewhere. Broad
way itself has no more public lights
than has any other Of the important
streets, but the brilliancy to which it
owes its fame is furnished by the in
finite number of glittering private
signs and advertisements that make it
splendid with colored lights and daz
cling brightness that rivals the SUM-
shine.
The value of such illumination can
not be estimated. Light is the best of
all policemen; no influence or money
can buy protection from the publicity
afforded by bright light. Crime and
vice are essentially the children of
darkness, and if the darkness be ban
ished, large part of the crime that
infests towns and cities will be abol-
ished, Burglars will make no at
tempts on brightly lighted stores
where valuable goods and the safe
door are clearly visible to every pas
serby. Thugs and highwaymen will
hesitate to attack persons on a street
where their action is or may be seen by
residents of neighboring houses OF
casual people on the street; and the
chance of accidental injuries due tc
open cellar doors or defects in the
pavement, are reduced to minimum.
Every town or city should do its
very utmost to promote the lighting
OF its streets. not merely from the mo.
tive of safety referred to above, but as
a business proposition. If a stranger
comes into place dimly lighted, dark
and dingy, with few old-fashioned
lights placed in hap-hazard methoc
