The first woman to fly in heavier

Peltier. a French sculptress. The
flight was accomplished in 1908 and
she was passenger in Voisin type
machine, NJ. Delagrange acting as pilot.
In 1909 Henry Farnham carried wo-
man passenger aloft, and the occur
renee was considered of sufficient in-
portance to cable around the world.
Now seven countries are able to boast
at least one licensed woman aviator.
France has three or four, America has
but two. Nine. de la Roche, erroneous

was most extraordinary for woman
to go aloft at all.-Leslie's.

A Joke TheY Don't Like.

Joking is blamed for causing a re-
duction in re-enlistments in the French
army. This charge is made not In Il
light vein. but in a serious study of the
army appearing in the Journal des
Sciences Militaires of Paris. based on
the report to the French chamber by
M. Clementel on the condition of the
army in 1911 and the reforms neces-
sary for 1912. The number of the nom
commissioned officers is maintained.
and the recruiting of this branch is as
sured, but the re-enIistment of cor
porals and privates shows falling off
Among the causes given for this fall
ing Off the French magazine places the
stale joke of which the re-enIisted men
are the butt in each regiment. AS soon
as a man re-enlists the iokers of the
regiment hurl at him the question,
"You have nothing to eat at home,
eh?" and the mans self respect is hurt

SELECT CDLlIH0S
Stability of the SkNsCraner.

The recent demolition of one of the
first skyscrapers erected in New York
city was the occasion OF number OF
surprises to inquirers and scientific
men and proved cOncusively the sta
bility of the steel construction frame.
Very many eminent civil engineers
have cOntended from the outset that
no steel frame could possibly escape
rust and that sooner or later the build
ing must collapse from This cause
The New York skyScraper. however,
was found in excellent condition. eS-
pecially the steel part Of it. Whic2
showed no signs whatever of deteTiOrl-
ton from rust, although some of tie
rivets were slightly corrOded. The
paint. however. had almost entirely
disappeared, owing to some Kind Of
chemical action. This proved the ne
cessity of some better and more dura-
BILE kind of paint.
But the most surprising part of the
examination was that the building
showed the greatest stability just
where the experts predicted there
would be the most decay-that is, in
those parts surrounded by or incased
in mortar.

TIMELY HINTS :
FOR FARMERS
Cost of Producing Pork.

Fxneriment ut the Illinois experiment
station shows that Il hog can be made
TO weigh about 800 pounds when about
eight months old on approximately
!. 200 pounds of feed when fed in q
dry lot. Thus it is seen that pound
of pork can be made at the cost Of four
hounds of feed under dry lot condi-
tons. It is thought this might be i'm
proved upon when hogs are fed ON
pasture. but this phase of the subject
has not as yet been thoroughly worked
out at the station.
If it is considered that feeds can be
grown on the farm at the rate of one
half cent per pound pork could be pro
duced at the rate of cents per pound
for amount of feed consumed in terms
of gains made by the hogs, leaving out
of consideration the labor involved i'll
feeding. If it costs l cent per pound
to produce the feed, then pork will cost
at the rate Of cents per pound OF
gain made by the hogs. If feeds are
purchased Mt the rate of l12 cents per
pound it would then cost 6 cents per
pound to make pork under dry lot con-
ditiOns.

A POLITICAL. COMBINE.

Is there a combine, or an under
standing between Champ Clark, Os-
car Underwood and Governor Har-
mon, or a political alliance suggest
ed and devised to secure the defeat
OF Governor Wilson in the BaIli-
more convention as a candidate for
President?
In the primary held in the State
of Illinois on Tuesday Champ Clark
scored by a great majority over
Governor Wilson, whose friends
charge that Harmon men were dl-
rected to vote for Clark.
If this political scheming is to
prevail in the election of delegates
to a national convention at which
a candidate for President OF The
United States is to be nominated
then indeed would this great office
be dragged in the mire.
As has already been outlined, the
politicians who are dominated by
what is called Big Business, indi-
viduals who are practically neither
Republicans nor Democrats, but
whose eye is always eentered on
the main chance, are opposed 10
Wilson and will defeat him if it be
possible in the National Convention
when convened in Baltimore in
June next.
As is generally known, Wilson is
Progressive but he has antago-
nized the Money Trust by his ag-
gressiveness. and in his insistanee
on reforms. Clark is also a Pro
gressive, while Harmon would be
listed as safe and sound by the in
terests.
As to Underwood of Alabama he
is simply a prospective without the
shadow of a chance.
II Champ Clark is not in alliance
with Underwood and Harmon, he
should make this fact plain. The
people of all the parties are watch
ing the politicians.

The observing mixer will notice that
when the COW is well along in the pc
riod of CESSATION she will show a dis
position to stop secreting milk. If the
mixer is ready to accept this situation
and leave some of the milk in the ud'
der for few days after each milking
and then milk but once a day fer n
short time, then every other day for a
few times, there will be little difficulty
in drying up cow successfully. OF
course care should be taken after milk
ing has ceased to look after her udder
and remove any accumulations that

Cowpeas as Hoo FORAGE.

The test of cowpeas as hog forage
at the Missouri station was entirely
successful during Il three years trial
In addition to the immediate results,
the soil was always left in an excel
lent condition and large crops secured
for the following year. Only three
fourths Of the grain ration allowed
for other forages was used with cow
peas or with soy beans because both
of these crops are peculiarly adapted
to supplementing the fattening ration.
They bear considerable grain, which is
about mature when the forage is pas
tured.

The Hiqh Cost of Living.

The demand for services which every
one few years ago was perfectly
willing to get on without is one of the
most powerful factors in the indiyid-

chasers of food want its purveyers to
put it up In neat pasteboard packages,
where few years ago they were sat
isfied to have it scooped from big
box or barrel by the grocer They
pay handsomely for this service. The

an extinct practice. The free de-
livery has spread everywhere. even to

it.-New York Tribune

Dust For Poultry.

If you will keep the poultry house
clean and provide a proper dust bath
the hens will enjoy making their toilet
and keep their bodies clean and free
from yerInin. Dry sifted coal ashes on
the floors of the poultry houses is one
of the best things for this purpose
Dry earth is also very good and is pre-
ferred by the hens to the ashes.

THE CONTROL or
FLAVOR IN MILK
Good Feed and Pure Water Nee
essary For Best Results.

The milk, butter and cheese manu-
factured in the dairy when possessing
a pleasant, agreeable flavor command
top notch prices, but when tainted, due
to improper mixing or sour feeds or
giving largely of cabbage. rape. rye.
silage or pumpkins. they are soon re-
fused by the customer. Flavors may
also be absorbed in the cellar or dairy
house where the milk is cooled. The
most common causes, however, are due
to some one feed which is given in too
large quantities, and ii dairymen guard
against this practice and their animals
are thrifty and healthy pure. whole
some milk is always secured. says the
Orange Judd Farmer
The most common flavor that is no.
ueed particularly is due to turning
cows out in spring on rye pasture. Rye
gives the milk as well as the butter a
distinct flavor. and usually the con-
sumer is not well pleased with it. This
evil requires but a simple remedy.
When changing from dry feeds to
green pasture 1t should be done grad
ually In thai instance there will still
be flavor but customers are so grad
uaily accustomed to it that they do
not register a complaint.
The best flayors of milk are secured
when there is well balanced feed
and when cows are thrifty and healthy
and are given all the pure. fresh wa
ter they desire. Silage mixed in the
right proportion with alfalfa or clover
hay and some grain will produce milk
OF the best quality.

Ration For Hens.

A very stimulating diet for hens in
egg production is equal portions of
bats, barley and buckwheat. all
ground together. The mixture Is also
excellent for fattening poultry. as 1t

rlor to corn in securing tenderness
One bushel of grain is sufficient for Il
