The neck of the bottle was small

Ten Things To Do This Month.

l. Keep up rapid, shallow, level
cultivation vff the crops. If dry
spell comes, all the moisture in the
soil will be needed.
Q. Cut the wheat and oats as soon
as they have colored up well. Don't
let them get dead ripe" Make a
special effort to get them under
shelter or in the stack without inju-
ry from rain.
8. Cut grass and red clover when
in full bloom. Much hay is allow
ed to get too ripe.
4. Keep on planting feed crops
corn for Siege, cowpeas, peanuts,
soy beans, sweet potatr ,s, etc.
5. Look after the farm machine
ry. Build a tool shed, if you have
none, and keep every implement,not
in use under it. Sunshine and rain
damage many implements more than
the wear they get.
6. Look to the pastures. Cut
down weeds, briers, etc.; dig up
bushes; see that the livestock has
plenty of shade and pure water.
Z. Keep an eye on the health of
your hogs If any get sick, or if
cholera breaks out near you, get in
touch with your State Department
of Agriculture and prepare to inoc-
ulate against cholera.
s. Clean out this years strawber-
ry beds, and set new ones. Keep
Bordeaux and Paris green handy
for the Irish potatoes. Keep weeds
out of the garden and put the cor
ner to work. Plant orchards to
cowpeas or some truck crop.
9. Keep a lookout for breaks"
or washes in the fields, and stop
them at once.
10. Talk it over with the boy or
girl who wishes to go to college
next fall, and see if you cannot ar
range things 80 he or she can earn
some extra money--Progressive
Farmer.

What Dr.. H. w. Wiley thinks Of
Coca.Cola.

One of Kentucky's able educators,
Miss Katherine Christian, the head
of the department of household
economics in the public schools of
Lexington, not long ago came across
a group of high school boys drink
ing Coca-Cola. Being possessed of
the true qualifications. of a teacher,
and a deep and abiding interest in
the we'll being of the young people
of the school, she warned them of
the dangers of the drink. Boys"
she said, IF you knew what l know
about Coca-Cola, you would not be
drinking it.'' The boys replied
that DR.. Wiley of the Agricultural
Department at Washington, had
said that it was harmless. We
will write to DR.. Wiley and enquire
if such a statement was ever author
lied by him." said Miss Christian.
The letter was duly written, and
the following reply was received
from the Chief of the Bureau of
Chemistry:
February 10, 1912.
Dear Madam
The boys to whom you refer
must have been reading faxed lit
erature. No such statement as you
mention has ever. issued from this
Office. In point of fact, the Bureau
ofChemistry was instrumental in
bringing famous suit against the
Coca-Cola people on the ground
that the caffeine which was added
to their product was harmful sub
stance.
The suit was lost 10 the Govern
ment, not on the ground that the
caffeine was harmless, but on
technical point in the law that it
was not an added" substance.
consider the Coca Cola habit
one of the most dangerous habits
which is in existence today and l
believe the health officers with the
aid of parents, should do everything
in their power, to prevent children,
especially, from acquiring this
habit.
Personally, / believe the sale of
Coca Cola is violation of the Food
and Drugs Act of most of the
states.
would be very glad to see its
sale absolutely prohibited.

God might have bade the earth
bring forth
Enough for great and small,
The oak tree and the cedar tree.
Without a flower at all.
We might have had enough,
enough
For every want of ours,
For luxury, medicine and toll,
And yet have had no flowers.
Then wherefore, wherefore were
they made,
all dyed with rainbow light,
All fashioned with supremest
grace,
Upspringing day and night:
Springing in valleys green and low,
And on the mountains high,
And in the silent wilderness
Where no man passes by?
Our outward life requires them
Then wherefore had they birth?
To minister delight to man,
To beautify the earth;
To comfort man-to whisper
hope,
Whene'er his faith is dim.
For who so careth for the flowers
Will care much more for him!
