has Il shaft been put down farther

When the earl and his lady had

Chickens Drinking Fountain.

Cheap and satisfactory water foun-

dering one end Of a large fruit can.
The edges of the open end should be
notched about one-half inch. The can
may then be filed with water covered
by small pie tin or fowerpot saucer
and the whole inverted. The water
will rise as high in the saucer as the
nOtches are cut in the can. thus pro
viding a constant supply of water in

Toothpicks have been banished from

use them carelessly, but some say that
the use Of the toothpick is vulgar,
whether it be. quill, wood, gold. bone
or the little blade of a jackknife.
The use of the pick is old. Martial
tells us what woods the Romans pre-
ferred Admiral Coligny was known
by his toothpick, which inactive rested
i'm his beard or over an ear, and there
was a saying among Catholics and
Huguenots, Beware of the admiral
with the toothpick." Is there not lit
tie bird that attends to the teeth or

of the case of toOthpicks, bone or
ivory. that some men in the sixties
sported as a watch chain or carried IN
Il waistcoat pocket? We forget the eX-
act number of picks i'll the case. Was
there one for each day in the week
and were they all numbered or let

were all high class society people with

Nearly every night some one of his

them to be careful to lock their doors
and had BOTS put on every door. For

ALFALFA.

One fact in connection with
alfalfa growing which does rot
seem to be appreciated to the Ill
is found in the absolute neceSSl-
ty for pollination of the plants.
Alfalfa will not thrive and will
produce no seed without tElS
pollina ton The plant is in
capable of self fertilization to
any considerable extent, even
though aided by the wind. 1t is
dependent on insects and part1c-
ularly on bees, and this suggests
that very profitable side line
might be operated by each farm
err who raises alfalfa. y few
stands of bees would insure the
DOllinizatiOn of his alfalfa and
would at the same time supply
very toothsome Wand for the
family table and one which al
ways commands q good price on
the market. One resident of the
capital city who lived near the
edge of town and not very far
from some alfalfa fields last
year raised and marketed more
than two tons of honey made by
bees whose home was on MS
town lot. These bees gathered
their nectar from the alfalfa
fields, but in doing so they pol
linized the blossoms. and with
out this help the plants could
not have raised seed.-kansas
