NOTES

The good potato bug dies young.
Oats makes a most nutritious green
food
1t pays to do right when you are
blowing corn.
Oats, peas and barley are sometimes
sown together.
Corn should not be planted until the
ground is warm and dry.
Leave no long nails sticking up out
Of fallen rails or posts in the pasture.
Corn planted in mellow soil will
terminate and make a strong, healthy
growth.
Deep cultivation cuts off the side
roots of the corn, and destroys a part
of the crop.
Nearly every careful farmer has that
variety of corn best suited for his soil
and climate.
Two ounces of corrosive sublimate
to Is gallons Of water makes a solu-
ton that kills potato scab.
No use to treat potatoes for scab if
they are to be planted in ground in
which scabby potatoes grew last year.
Plant the first row or two of space
along the fence in the cornfeIds ad-
joining the pasture lands to potatoes.
Use slaked lime for the striped
squash or cucumber bug. An early
vine makes trap to catch the first
ones
Corn that yields well in one locality
will often make an entire failure in
another locality where conditions are
different.
The keynote of success in corn
growing is frequent shallow cultiva-
tons rather than occasional deep cul-
tivations.
For corn. cabbage and tomatoes.
pillow down clover sod or clover and
grass sod. Harrow and roll until fine
and very mellow.
Land plaster is an excellent absor-
bent to use in the cutters and its
use increases the value of the manure
TO q large extent
Sweet clover is rapidly growing into
popularity. Is is one of the best crops
that can be raised and it is adapted
to wide variety Of soils.

CONSTANT DRAIN ON NATION
Cost Of tuberculosis and Other Pre-,
ventabIe Diseases Has Been
Put Into Figures.

While state commissions and other
bodies are trying to find a method for
reducing the cost of life insurance.
Prof. James w. Glover of the Uni
Versity Of Michigan demonstrates that
every pOIicy-hoIder of a $4,000 or
binary whole life policy could save
about $50 a year on his premiums if
tuberculosis and typhoid fever were
eliminated. tuberculosis alone causes
d loss to such policy holder of from
S16.70 at twenty to $3.50 at the age
of sixty. At age of twenty, with the
present high death rate from tubercu-
lcsis, this one disease alone shOrtens
the complete expectation Of life by
two years and 1853 days While the
death rate from tuberculosis seems to
be declining, the National Association
for the Study and Prevention of Tuber-
CulOsis says that the combined effort
of every man. woman and child is nee
essary to bring about a radical reduc-
tIon in life insurance rates such as
Professor Glover has indicated.

Slow Travel.

Down in Oklahoma they have rail
road called the Midland Valley, which
is noted for its slow trains. 1t is told
that young man Of Tulsa asked the
hand of daughter from her parents
and was refused on the ground that
the daughter was too young.
MY daughter is going to Pawhuska
tomorrow for a visit" said the father,
who is a travelling man, land If she
doesn't remain more than day or two
she will be old enough when she gets
back"
But she may be an old maid by
that time" protested the young man.

SECRET OF POWERFUL FUEL
Carbon From Refuse Produces Greater
Caiorific Value Than Coal-Cost is
Very Little,

We are no longer interested in or
affected even remotely by coal and
miners strikes" said the proprietor of
one of the largest box and packing

whole of London I'VE get all the
power we want on the premises for
nothing"
The interviewer glanced around in
bewilderment at the humming engines
developing 200-horsepower and the
scores of men working busily at the
whirring lathes, and speculated on the
source of all this power.
THE entire power used in these
works, which have an annual output of
tens of thousands of pounds" said the
proprietor, lis derived from one thing,
and one only-the carbon from com
mon wet sawdust, if air be excepted!"
A patent gas plant has now been
placed on the English market capable
of producing not only from sawdust,
but from practically all combustible
refuse, a gas greater in power and ca
lorifc value, and richer in hydro-car-
bons, than the producer gas from coal.
And the cost of the new fuel for manu-
facturers who possess quantities of
combustible waste refuse which they
would otherwise have to destroy is
practically nothing.
4 have recently installed one of
these plants" said Mr. Clarke, of
Messrs. Clarke & Co, Groveroad, Bow.

sawdust, wood chips, and shavings in

am delighted with it. I estimate that
whereas my power was formerly de-
rived from producer gas made from
coal costing me about $25 a week. it
will now cost me nothing at all.

Soil for Alfalfa

Alfalfa may be grown on almost

Wiancko, Of the Indiana experiment
station, in discussing the question,
providing it is well drained, sweet,
free Of weeds and well supplied with
organic matter and mineral plant
food. incubation of the soil will
generally be necessary, and must not
be neglected. Soil from a good alfalfa
field or from a place where sweet
clover is growing should be used for
incubation"

An important consideration in de-
termining the feeding value of corn
silage as compared with that of corn
slower, fodder corn or burdlecorn, is
that in ensilage the whole of the
plant, including the stems, is con
verified into succulent and nourishing
food. When fed in any other forms
the stems are rejected, and are of
value only as they gradually add to
the humus of the soil.

81 EhkING ABOUT LOVE
FOUR CHERISHED ADAGES ARE
CALLED MERE JOKES.
Pessimistic Writer Undertakes to
Show That These Oft-Quoted Ex-
pressions Concerning Tender
Passion Are Only Nonsense.

In regard to love We hear express
sions like these:
Love rules ALL
''All the world loves a lover"
"a maid should obey the dictates Of
heart
Love laughs at locksmiths."
And others too numerous to men
ton.
Perhaps the first one is the best
joke OF the lot. Love rules all! That
is one Of the funniest things you ever
heard! Some even go so far as to
think children can be ruled by love.
1t has been seen in practice. This is
the way it works:
Come, now Johnnie. Come, dear"
Not bulge from Johnnie.
Come on, darling. Mamma wants
you to come now, sweetheart. Come
on
Nothing stirring.
johnnie must come now. Johnnie be
a good boy. Mamma will give Johnnie

Johnnie doesn't
Come on, now, Johnnie. You must
come. Mammals tired of waiting
Mamma spank"
Johnnie still unconvinced.
Whack! Whack! Whack!
Johnnie comes.
h
other joke
What do we love about him? Per
haps the florist and candy man love
him, and that's about the extent of it..
In the olden days when the lover did
great deal of signing and desperate
hair pulling and provided entertain
ment for the neighbors by clipping
with the girl once in while, people
| felt mildly grateful for the show But
it hardly amounts to love- And GER
tainly his serenading beneath her lat
tice was more likely to bring brickbats
than demonstrations of affection.
"a maid should obey the dictates of
her heart is rather good
Some people evidently adhere to the
belief that there is a heart that
heaven has made for thee" or they
have faith in the text of some humor-
Gus ballad.
But, as most of us know, when a fell
low has special talents in the love
making line, and time and inclination
to perfect his talents, he can make any
girl think he is the one to furnish the
heart that heaven has made tor
thee;" whereas, men who have neither
time nor talent nor inclination in mat
direction must go unloved and unEung,
and the latter kind of man could carry
seven or eight Of the former kind in
his vest pocket
sometimes the young woman must
choose between a college professor
and saloon keeper One can give
her social position and car fare; the
other an electric brougham and a pink
pIumed bonnet. 1t is hard to decide
Sn such case. The dictates of her
hear. are led in one direction by the
ostrich plumes, and in the other by
the prospect of having a hat off and at
home expression at a college COM
mencement-a very great thing, in
deed, and thing to create heart long
ing
Love laughs at locksmiths!" An
ancient joke!
Girls do not eIope by ladder any

all these brushes have been fit into
