Snare the Doves,

The turtle doves are great feeders
on the seeds of weeds, and do much to
protect growing crops from harm
through the ravages Of those weeds
on the seeds of which they feed. The
government biological survey, in con-
Quoting its investigation to determine
the economic value Of these birds.
found In the stomachs of three turtle
doves 23,100 hawkweed seeds. with
the seeds of several other kinds Of
weeds which have caused the farmer
Inconvenience and expense during q
larger portion of the crop growing
season. These birds are much more
effective as a weed exterminating
force than an army Of men with hoes
and weeders, because the best that
man can do is to keep the weeds in
checks to a certain extent, while the
seed devoured by the bird is de-
stroyed and prevented from taking
root. It is estimated that the natural
increase Of these birds. II they were
allowed to multiply without Interrupt
ton. would save the American farmer
at least s5oO,o0O.Ooo year.

Hard to Realize.

The variety Of ways in which a CIV
en- number Of articles may be placed
has often created much surprise. A
mathematician once set himself to
the task Of calculating the number Of
different ways in which the fifty-two
cards Of a pack could be distributed
among four players. thirteen to each,
taking every possible combination. It
would be useless to present the an
swer here in long row Of figures, for
no one can realize what such a nu-
merical array really means, but the
following Illustration can be readily
grasped:
II the entire population Of the earth,
say one thousand millions Of persons,
were to deal the cards continually,
day and night, for one hundred mil
lions of years, at the rate of deal
by each person a minute, they would
not have exhausted the one hundred
thousandth part of the number of e.
sentially different ways in which 1t is
possible that the cards can be SO dis
tributed.

HOW GOLD PENS ARE MADE
Metal Is Rolled Into a Ribbon and
Pen Shapes Are Cut Out by
Machinery.

The tiny tip of white metal seen on
the under side of the point Of a gold
pen may be Of platinum, but 1t is more
likely to be iridium. Iridium is a very
hard metal and it is expensive; 1t
costs about four times as much as
gold. The purpose Of the iridium tip
is, of course, to give the pen a more
durable tip.
The gold pen maker buys his gold
at the assay office in bars Of pure "a
karat gold, which he melts and alloys
with his silver and copper to the de-
gree Of fneness required. Gold Of IA
karats Is used in the manufacture OF
the best American gold pens, that be-
ing the degree of fineness deemed
most suitable for pen use; but good
pens made in this country for sale In
France are made of IS karats, the
French government requiring that all
articles exposed for sale in that coun-
try as gold shall be of not less than
Is karats.
The gold from which the pens are
to be made Is rolled and rerolled until
what was originally a thick, heavy bar
Of gold has been rolled into a thin
gold ribbon about three feet in length
by four inches wide. Then this gold
ribbon Is put into machine which
stamps out of 1t pen shapes, all still
fiat. Then on the tip Of each Of these
pens Is fused the iridium point, and
then the shapes go to Sitting ma
chine, which cut the slit in the pen.
From this Sitting machine the pens
go through another, which gives them
their rounded, familiar pen form, and
then the pens are ground and polish
ed and finished ready for use.
American gold pens in fountain pens
or as dip pens are sold in every coun-
try in Europe in competition with pens
Of British or Of German manufacture,
and under the same competition they
are sold throughout the world, In
South America, Africa, Japan, China,
wherever pens are used.

COOKING DRIED STUFF
FIRELESS METHOD BEST FOR
FRUITS AND VEGETABLES.
Homemade Cooker Is Easily Con-
structed and Answers All Practi-
cal urposes-Important Points
to Be Remembered.

The fireless method is the best way
to cook dried fruit and vegetables.
You need not buy a fireless cooker for
the purpose unless you wish to. Make
one yourself. Simply get small dry
goods or soap box or large pail. Line
with asbestos paper and then stuff
tightly all around the top, bottom and
sides with layers of newspapers to the
depth of three or four inches. What
you must remember is that 1t must
be absolutely alright. Another thing
to remember is that your receptacle
must be nearly full. If you cook a
small quantity you must have small
receptacle, as the fruit is not as like
ly to cool off before thoroughly done,
as it would if placed in a half filled
pail. Wash your fruit thoroughly
first, and to one pound Of same add
half pound of sugar: put water
enough in to cover by about one inch.
Boil seven minutes over a flame and
then as quickly as possible place in
your fireless cooker and allow to re-
main in there about eight hours.
Place a cushion on top of the cooker
and weight that down with something
that is heavy. When taken out one
will find the fruit will rival the best
preserves in appearance and flavor, in
no respect suggesting that usually
served or the insipid canned products.
Each shriveled piece will swell to its
original size, unbroken, distended with
a juicy aromatic liquor, and charged
with the fiavors which characterize
the fruit in it's prime state. :fapioca
and sage are delicious with. these
fruit juices in making tempting des-
serts. Dried vegetables, such as lima
beans, peas, ETC., should be treated
in the same way and given about the
same length of time to cook. Canned
vegetables which have been bought
in the stores are also much improved
by this additional process. These fire.
less cookers are also excellent for do
ing home canning of vegetables and
fruits. By canning them in this way
the house is kept cool, fuel is saved
and the housewife is free from the
fear of water boiling away. Clean and
prepare the same as for any canning
process. Dip the jars in boiling wa
ter, fill with vegetables or fruit, pour
in cold water until it overfows the
jar, dip the caps in boiling water,
place them on the jars, but do not
seal tightly; allow for expansion. Put
q fnI IN he Of
your kettle, place the prepared jars
on the rest, fill the kettle with cold
water up to the necks Of the Jars.
Place the cover on the kettle. put on
the stove and boir Is minutes. At the
end Of that time place at once into
the cooker and cover tightly. Allow
the jars to remain in the cooker from
two to three hours, then remove and
tighten the caps.

NOVEL VACATION PLAN
HARD WORKING
MAN EXPLAINS SCHEME.
When Business Is Slack In August,
He Ignores His Daily Routine and
Sleeps Over" Feeling Free
and Happy.

WELL" said a man who works for
living and keeps 1t up tifty-two
weeks In the year, my vacations
over. Now I'm ready to dig in again"
Where did you go this year?" his
friend asked him.
Where did | go?" echoed the dig
ner, where | always go-nowhere.
never go anywhere. take my vaca-
ton right here, sleeping over.
I'm a man of system, method. I
wouldn't call myself a mechanical per-
son, but | certainly am systematic,
methodical, and l should be uncom-
Portable any other way.
For instance | get up every morn
ing at twenty minutes past six. That
gives me exactly the time require to
get through everything and get my
breakfast and get to the Office on time
comfortably, and month after month |
keep to that always at the same hour,
but every year there comes a time
when | deliberately get reckless and
sleep over few mornings, and that's
my vacation.
That time comes in the month OF
August when business Is at low ebb;
slack water and nothing doing at all;
when We might just as we'll close the
Office as far as that goes; and when
that time comes | start on my vaca-
ton.
Some morning instead of getting
up at $40 just lie there till, maybe,
a quarter of 7, and then get up and
don't hurry; just let the schedule, the
whole business, go to blazes and take
life easy and eat my breakfast and
time to get there. For few more
mornings l get up that way or later
and l find nothing happens, and then
for two or three mornings finally
indulge In the wild dissipation of ly-
ing abed till half past o'clock.
And 1 find this does me world OF
good. II braces me up wonderfully
and makes me smile and laugh. It's
a change from my regular routine, and
change is what We want II isn't good
for any Of US to stick endlessly to the
same dull routine, and this change
that I make every year like that In
my getting up hours breaks the ten
sion, gives me sense Of liberty and
makes me free and happy.
Then on one Of these fine morn
ings when I'm doing what l please I
find in the office when I get there a
little change in the atmosphere, things
have begun to stir little, business is
starting up and that means the vaca-
ton season is over; and next morn
ing set my mental alarm clock for
$40 a. m, and wake up on the dot.

where an old woman died Of fright
because she had been "bewitched."
She had refused to give or sell the
witch some eggs because she wanted
them herself. The witch made signs

clusively till the witch went away
that she was not dumb just yet at all

her tongue badly with her soup; IL
swelled a little, and she could not
