IN OBEDIENCE TO ORDERS
French Boy Caused MerrIment by TAX.
Ing the Order Of the Court Too
Literally.

A droll incident is reported as hav-
ing taken place in one of the pro-
vincial appeal courts In France. A
boy. about IA, was summoned to give
evidence, and his appearance was such
as to the whole court to laughter.
He wore a long redingote, peculiar to
the Basque country, and immense
boots. His trousers, collar and hat
were unQuestionably those of a man.
The court was convulsed, and the
president asked the boy how he dared
to treat the court in such a manner
The boy seemed as surprised as the
president, and taking out the citation
from his pocket, read the formula in
viting him, Comparable dams les af.
flares de son PEREZ" (To appear in
his fathers suit.)

1t is best to test the milk for but

Don't mix the morning and night

There is no liquid that will absorb
odors more quickly than warm milk.
The animal that pays the best Is
bound to be in evidence as dairymen

1t is a mistake to suppose that a
good cow of inferior breeding Is quail
fed to drop a good calf.
Clover is one of the best forage
crops for cows and is n Of the best
crops a dairyman can put In.
Before selecting a p%ure-bred sire to
head the herd of cows, 1t is necessary
to canvass the situation thoroughly.
In building up a dairy herd from
common stock, much time will be
saved If the best cows are selected to
form the breeding herd.
There are few cows which will not

There are other things by which we
may judge as to the class in which a
farmer belongs. If the farm dwellings
and outbuildings are neatly painted,
and the fences and gates in good re-
pair, you will not see haystacks or
straw-piies standing out all winter, or

April SO as to get it out Of the way
for another crop.
1t is the little things that make
farming pay, and the little things
make the losing game, too.

of the frame, which has a pan in the
bottom on which the pail rests. Two
projecting U-shaped portions of the
upper ring of the device fit over two
balls at the top of the bucket. When
the balls are under the ring the frame
is turned a few inches to afford them
a purchase and prevent their slipping
out again, and the dairyman thus has
his pail encased In a framework that
extends on all sides and protects it
from dirt at the bottom.

THE PRICE OF
LAND INCREASING
THE "BAcK TO THE LAND" CRY
Is EFFECTlvE.

Travelling through the state Of Iowa
the other day, and Iowa Is no excep-
ton to the story about to be related,
the writer was shown q farm that was
offered three years ago for $3.50 an
acre. That appeared to be q high fig
r for land upon which the owner
depended upon the CROPS of corn, hogs
and cattle that could be raised upon
It But it wasn't. A few weeks since
tho farm changed hands at 1925 an
acre. Over In Illinois, down in In
diana, up In Wisconsin. across the
line In Minnesota. the same expert
ence was met with. And then atten-
ton is directed to Canada, which has
been the Mecca Of so many hundred
thousand Americans during the past
few years. Not only In Eastern Can
ada has the price OF lands increased.
but in Western Canada, during the
past few weeks, farm lands have in
creased from three to five dollars al
acre. with the prospect of a similar
advance during the next three months.
The reason for this Is very apparent,
and in a few words 1t may be pointed
out that the lands Are worth a great
deal more than the present prices.
The Northwestern Agriculturist Of
Minneapolis, a paper that was n Of
the first of the American farm papers
to discover the real merits Of the
lands of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and
Alberta, says: 1.-THE reciprocity SEIZED
ule would encourage American farm
ers to move to Canada, where the vir-
gin soil will produce greater crops Of
grain with less labor than a be pro-
duced in our own farms in the North
west. The result will be to enhance
land values in Canada" This paper
Ii afraid land values in Canada will be
enhanced at the expense Of land
values in the United States. In face
of the fact that land values in the
United States are increasing the rea-
soning scarcely holds. The reason for
the advance in value of Canadian
lands is partly accounted from the
fact, admitted by this paper, that Can
ada's virgin soil will produce greater
crops Of grain with less labor" But
that is not the only eason During
the past twelve months $4,000 peo-
pie have made Canada their home and
these are mostly of the farming class.
They want farms, and the demand as
well as the wealth of the soil is regu-
lating the price. A study of the In.
crease in the acreage of land put un.
der crop last year, which can be had
from any Canadian government repre-.
sentative, will prove the point, that
the demand is increasing at a greater
ratio than even the most sanguine
would have predicted.

Crippled by tuberculosis.

According to a recent report by Or.
Conrad Biesalski of Berlin, there are
$4,000 cripples in the German empire
out of a population of 60, SOC, 900. Over
$4,000 Of the cripples are in need of
proper treatment. Doctor Biesalski
states that in Is per cent of the Grip
pies examined, their deformity was
due to tuberculosis of the bones and
joints, and that there yer 10000
such children in great need of med
zeal treatment. He advocates the
establishment of seaside sanatoria for
this latter class of cripples.

with the increase Of population the

crop must be thoroughly cured in
small covered punches before it is

farm animals and in the beneficial
