AVERAGE OPEN SOIL MIXTURE
Grasses and cIoVers Should Comprise More Than Half the seed-About
 Thirty Pounds to Acre.
Ry W. R. GILBERr1

Alfalfa. grasses and clovers make a good mixture for the average open soil. The grasses and clovers should comprise rather above half the seed and about thirty pounds in all will be ample, per acre This is so as re- gards the mixture. unless the soil is particularly apt for clover or alfalfa, when either of the two may be consid- erably increased and proportionate quantity of clovers and grasses be withheld.
 The grasses preferable are such strong varieties as cocksfoot, timothy. rye grass-both Italian and common.
 The best clovers are the red and alsike- Of course the crops may make more or less temporary pasture. but they give great abundance at that and all animals thrive well on the herb age if it is taken in time. Further. after being grazed two or three years the fields are left in fine fettle for wheat

CAUSES OF APOPLEXY
PRIMARILY RECOGNIZED AS Ac4
 COMPARTMENT OF OLD AGE.
Undue Worry, Even In Those of Com ParatlveIy Youthful Years, VIII Also Induce Dreaded MaIady Victims Sometimes Re-
 cover.

The word "apoplexy" generally means a sudden paralysis caused by the rupture of a blood vessel in the brain; it is popularly called a ''strohe4' It is a result of softening of the ar tories that often follows primary har- dening or arteriosclerosis.
 The disease is a common accompani- ment of old age. so common indeed that it is regarded by many as the one characteristic senile change.
 It is not confined to old age, how ever. for many comparatively young men who have gone too fast and too, tar in the pursuit of wealth or who have met with reverses and have wor- ried unduly over them have hardening arteries and are killed or disabled by apoplexy.
 In their hardened blood vessels. there may be softening spots which, bulged by the hydraulic pressure of the blood, form little aneurisms. A It. tie extra strain on the vessels, caused by some violent emotion or the lift Ing of heavy weight or running to catch a train may then rupture one or more of these little aneurisms and 30 let the blood pour into the brain tissue.
 If the blood escapes rapidly and in large amount it causes immediate loss of consciousness and paralysis; if the, blood escapes gradually and in small amount it causes either severe head ache and tingling and numbness in one or more of the limbs, or progress sive loss of power, gradual dulling of the mental faculties and ultimate unconsciousness.
 Apoplexy is not always fatal; in deed complete recovery without any paralysis sometimes occurs. The suf- ferer's immediate fate is commonly de- cided in two or three days-either he dies without regaining consciousness or his mental faculties gradually re- turn. He is then seen to be paralyzed In either one arm or in one leg, or In one side of the face. or in all three-
 In less serious cases the paralysis Iessens, the facial expression becomes CT. Even when the paralysis is per manent there is almost always more or less improvement for some weeks after the stroke.
 Apoplexy can be treated only by the physician, but those who fear an at tack can do much to avert it. Quiet and calm should for them be the rule of life. They should never make any severe muscular effort. They should never run for cars or climb stairs quickly. They should avoid hearty meals and the drinking of much fluid, even water, at any one time.-Youth's Companion.

PREPARING CREAM FOR CHURN
UnsatIsfactory Results VIII Be Had by Rapidly Cooling or oVerheatln9
 Good Feed for Cow.

Cream should be kept in a warm room in winter, thoroughly stirred when more is added, and none should be put into the vessel for 24 hours before churning. During the time or ripesling. the cream should be warm up to 64 to 65 degrees and then cooled of to about 63 degrees three or four hours before churning- Un- satisfactory results will be had by rapidly cooling or overheating the cream
 Cows fed mostly on corn fodder or a poor quality of hay will give milk having small cream globules and hard to churn. Feed part clover hay, with a grain mixture of corn chops and wheat middlings and one to two quarts of cottonseed meal to each COW per day. When farmers do their own churning the cream should be carefully warmed or it will froth in the churn and make a poor quality of butter. The cream should be at the temperature of 62 to GA degrees when put into the churn. Have a galvan- ized boiler Ca wash boiler may be used), and fill it hef full of water. Set it on the stove and heat it to near the boiling point, then remove 1t from the stove and set the cans of cream in it and stir almost continual ly until the cream it at least GA de grees. It is then ready for churn- ing. This takes a little time. but the churning is done quickly. The warming of the cream by this method saves much wory and hard work
 A good home starter for ripening cream is a good buttermilk taken from the last churning Take one pint of buttermilk and place it in the cream jar and every time fresh cream Is put into the jar stir thoroughly An ex- pert butter maker gives her method of handling a small quantity of cream: T set the pans orSbuckets containing the milk on the back of the stove. where 1t will not boil up too quickly and heat it until blood-warm- Then I remove from the stove and set it in warm room If it is put in a cool room heat 1t carefully in the same way the next day. When hand sep arator is used I warm the cream as soon as 1t is separated before setting it away Cream prepared by this method will churn quickly"
 Milk should not be allowed to freeze or 1t will be bitter. Keep the temperature of milk room between 40 to 50 degrees. The room should be free from all odors and well aired. Milk kept in the kitchen will become tainted from the cooking.

EASY TO GROW BUSH BEANS
One of Best and Most Popular of Gar den Vegetables and Succession of
 Them Should Be Planted.

Bush or dwarf beans are easy tS grow and are one of the best and most popular of garden vegetables. A sue cession of them should be planted and be coming on from the very earliest summer till after the first frosts O. autumn Beans of all kinds are some what tender and are easily killed by late spring frosts yet they are easily and cheaply planted and risk should be taken in planting extra early | the first crop happens to be caught by frost, 1t is very easy matter to plant the same space over again and little will be lost by the trial, as one prep aration of the soil will serve for a suo cession of crops.
 For bush beans prepare the ground early in dry condition, working fl down to very fine and even seed bed. Make the surface soil especial ly fine and loose, since the bean some times has difficulty in coming up in three or four days. Give the young plants clean and light surface culti- vation to conserve soil moisture. 4 three or four shoveled horse cultiva tor may be used, but never in them while the vines are in the least wet or moist, as this will bring on disease Plant succession, about three weeks apart, up to the last of August in cen. tral attitudes. Pick the beans clean while, they are green regularly and the vines will bear longer. If beans are allowed to r1pen on the vines the Vines will soon die.

DIRTY EGGS CAUSE BIG LOSS
Condition Brought About by Allowing 6roody Hen In Same Nest With
 the Layera.

While there are few egg producerA who take the best of care of their product the average farmer con siders the egg produced on the farm a by-product and makes very little provision for their care, aside from gathering them. A large loss is caused by dirty eggs, the number being enormous, and according to the esu mate of Secretary Wilson of the de partment of Agriculture this money loss to the farmers in the United States amounting to about $5.000,00C annually.
 This loss Is very largely brought about by not gathering the eggs often enough. In wet weather more dirty eggs are found than at any other time. This is caused by the fact that the hens feet are often covered with mud or other filth, and in going on the nest to lay she soils the eggs already in the nest.
 An insufficient number of nests is often the cause of many of the dirty eggs found Eggs are laid on the ground and around the hay and straw stacks. and becoming stained. are classed as "dirties." Again, when too many eggs are allowed to remain in nest some are broken and many of the others become smeared with broken yolks. This condition is often brought about by allowing the broody hens to use the same nests with the layers On a farm where one nest to every four hens is provided and the nests are kept clean and well bedded, it is found that very few dirty eggs are produced.
 After gathering the eggs. care should be taken not to put them where they will, become heated, or near oil, onions, or other vegetables as they readily absorb odors.
 Although dirty eggs may be per. tectly fresh, they invariably sell as seconds" and when but few dirty eggs are mixed with an otherwise fresh, clean lot, they materially de crease the price of the clean eggs.

Providing Dry Crops.

Set your brood GOODS few inchei above the surrounding ground to in sure perfect dryness. A coop that il thus treated will always be dry if i is rain and water proof. Make all coops wind and water proof with tar paper. There is nothing so harmful to young chicks as dampness. Bank up the GOODS and dig trenches, so all water will run away from them Many GOODS are set so that the wa ter that falls on their roofs and the surrounding ground runs beneath them. No hen can keep brood warm In such coops. Any coop will get wet In rainy weather if the floor is lower than the surrounding surface of the yround.

SHIPS NAME CHANGED
OTRANcE TALE OF ADVENTURES ON PARAGUAY FILI6UsTER
 TRIP.
Forced to Work at Pistols Point They Sue 5oat's Owner for Wages Government Now To to Be Asked Why It Permitted
 Neutrality Breach.

Antwerp.-The crew of the steamer Beebrugge, which sailed from here the night of October 12 with a cargo of arms and ammunition, 1t was thought for Portuguese royalists, returned the other day to Antwerp. They related . remarkable story.
 It appears that the steamer and its cargo were not intended for the Portuguese royalists, but for the Par aguayan revolutionists. She carried $50 tons of powder. four large cannon. one machine gun, 5000 rifles, wire less apparatus, uniforms and other military supplies.
 A SpanIard Takes Command.
 There were two English passengers and five Spanish passengers aboard. One of the Spaniards. Arricos by name, assumed direction of affairs as soon as the steamer was out of sight of land.
 The Zeebrugge. instead of proceed ing for Port Stanley, Falkland islands, for which she had cleared, headed di- rect for South America. The Belgian sailors then learned that it was the intention to attack the Paraguayan villages on Rio de la Plata.
 As soon as the South American coast was sighted Arricos mounted the guns on deck. When the mouth of Rio de la Plata was reached, the Brazilian flag was hoisted. The hull of the steamer was repainted and her name changed to Coimbra.
 Thanks 'to a heavy snowstorm, the vessel got past Montevideo and Bue- nos Aires without attracting attention Her name was again changed-to Asuncion.
 Obey Orders at Gun Point.
 The Belgian crew were compelled to obey orders. Arricos standing over them with a revolver, and they feared, too. that if the vessel were taken they would be summarily dealt with. They continued, therefore, to work the ship up the river, during which the vessels name underwent another change, the name Constitution being painted on her side.
 When the Paraguayan border was reached the English captain an- nounced that the steamer belonged to Arricos, and the men were free to leave Refusing the invitation of Ar ricos to join his expedition, the crew made their way to Buenos Aires and thence to Antwerp.
 Difficulties having arisen between the crew and the former Belgian owners of the Zeebrugge about their wages, the sailors have brought suit against the owners.
 One of the Antwerp deputies has announced his intention of demand ing explanations from the government in the chamber for not preventing such a fragrant breach of neutrality.

STEERS STOP ELEVATED CARS
Escape From Wreck and Race Along the Third Rail of chl-
 cago "L."

Chjcago.-Three steers which es- caped from a wrecked cattle ear on branch of the Lake Shore and Mich igan Southern railroad near Cottage Grove avenue the other night created excitement in that vicinity and tied up traffic on the Kenwood branch of the South Side Elevated railroad by run ming along the tracks.
 The last car of train of forty load ed cars, east bound. was wrecked when 1t jumped the tracks just west of Cottage Grove avenue, and all but three of the cattle fell over the eleva- ton, which is solid structure, and landed in a back yard. Four of the steers were killed by the fall The others escaped unhurt-
 Three of the steers which escaped going down with the others into the back yard ran east on the elevated structure.
 The tracks of both roads are on the same elevation and the east and west bound trains on the elevated road were tied up for half an hour and traffic on the railroad was suspended until the three steers had been cap tured at Lake avenue.
 The steers fled past the Cottage Grove avenue station of the elevated road and at times almost stepped on the third rail.
 Cattlemen who accompanied the cars chased the steers up and down the tracks until they had been cap tured and led back to the point where the wreck had occurred. Here they were put into another car and the train continued its journey.
 A wrecking crew cleared the tracks and cattlemen after a delay of two hours herded the cattle out Of the rear yard into which they had fallen

EUROPE's ROYAL HOUSEWIFE

It would be hard to find more capa- ble housekeeper than the empress of Germany.
 Her ideal is service: she has de- voted her life to serving her country, her. husband, and her children. She believes that this is woman's highest and only mission, and that women are happy as long as they keep to this ideal. The empress has never inter fered in affairs of state, and the dag gle of court life has meant little to her. But she has always found joy caring for the comforts of the emper- or, looking after her children, and managing her household.
 When the Kaiser calls for his wife he finds her engrossed in the many departments of her housekeeping lore in which she is so proficient. Though she does not go into the kitchen and order her groceries and meats as do her subjects, the chief steward comes to her study every morning and they
