Benefits Of Fall PIowinq.

Fall blowing has many advantages.
Perhaps the greatest one among them
all is the TACT that it does great
deal of helping to avoid the usual
rush of spring work. In these days
of labor scarcity this means great
deal. Fall blowing is also very eff
ficient in conserving the moisture sup
ply owing to the creation of mulch
at the surface during the winter and
spring months. The practice OF fall
blowing is not adapted to section
where the soil blows badly, but there
are really few such sections in the
middle west.

ENDS PALA|S ROYAL
Famous Estate in France to Be
Transformed by Wreckers.
Noted Rendezvous for Many Well
Known Characters Centuries Ago
to Make Way for New Paris
Bourse or Board of Trade.

Paris.-At last 1t is settled that the
DID Palais Royal is to disappear. The
bourse, or Paris board Of trade, or
Wall street, or Fourth avenue. Of
Paris, is about to take the place of
the old palace, which was the adorn-
ment of the Paris Of our great-grand-
fathaGy. This center of frivolous and
corrupted Paris of the distant past Is
doomed to disappear beyond redemp-
ton. The Society of the Friends of
Old Paris are powerless to save It,
Indeed, it has been dead this many
day. It has become q cemetery
without mourning. a metropolis with
out poetry. There is hardly dream
Of it's past that has not been de-
strcEed.
The great square is given over to
children and their nurses. No gild-
ed successors of the bedizened beau
ties OF the past now promenade the
Galerie de Montpensier. A few be-
draggled creatures, nurtured by pow
erty, rather than by vice, occasionally
traverse this ruined Palace Of Pleas
ure. Even the jewelry shops have
long since moved away.
In the beginning of the eighteenth
century the Palais Royal was a sort
of open-air club where people dis
cussed the happenings of Europe and
of Paris from world politics to pri-
vate intrigues, big things and little;
the Versailles and the opera; the side
lights of history and the history of
Bidelights.
When the Duke d'Orleans of that
day-crushed with debts-suppresse
= part of the famous garden to estab-
lish shops, the shopkeepers made q
fortune. The Orleans family opened
the garden to the bourgeoisie, and
the latter opened access for the Or
leans family to the throne from which
Louis Philippe fell for having trusted
the bourgeoisie too much.
The Palais Royal is remembered as
the place where Richelieu died, where's
Anne of Austria saw the throne of
young Louis XIV. threatened, where's
the bogus financier, the Scotchman
Law, sought an asylum, where Phil
Ippe Egalite after having voted
for the death Of Louis XVI. had to,
stand for an hour before his own
head was cut off. 1t is much remer1-i
bered for its orgies during the Re-
gency.

For a good many years have been
buying feeder steers shipped into a
stockyard, shipping them about
eighty miles and finishing them on
corn and roughage. Most of them are
western cattle. They are little slow
in starting to take on weight, but tat

carload lots, in order to save money

EQUAL OPPORTUNITY

The ultimate aim of the labor move
ment is to establish condition OF So
ciety, first, that will insure to each
head of family equal and ample OPP
portunity to secure livelihood, which
will be sufficient to provide his fam
lily with the same necessities and
luxuries of life enjoyed by any other
citizen; second, that will enable him
to give his children an education in
whatever direction they may decide
to follow, equal to that received by
the children of every other member of
society.
To enlarge the opportunity to Sc
cure employment, the trade unions
are advocating and establishing short
er workday for its members. To in
sure equal education, the trade unions
are endeavorinS to secure the enact
ment of compulsory education laws
and child labor laws in every state,
territory and province in America,
thus withdrawing the children from
the factories, mines and workshops.
The trade unions assert that all BEN
efits accrding from the inauguration
of labor-saving devices or cheap forms
of distribution should be anJoye1
equally by all the people, instead of
being diverted to the benefit of the
few
The labor movement holds that all
people are entitled to partake equally
of the joy of living; that a condition
that permits part of our pes1o to live
in af11uence, while another tssst Is COM
PEELED to work long hours for meager
wages, should be abolished; that a
condition that furnishes work to only
a fraction of the people and leaves
another fraction without employment,
and helpless for long periods, should
be eliminated from our civilization.
Many claim that efforts along that
direction are an iridescent dream and
cannot be realized for years to come.
In my opinion it will come. 1t is now
approaching. 1t will come with the
full awakening of the consciousness of
our people; consciousness which is
rapidly growing In strength and pow
er, and is now in allegiance, awaiting
the psychological moment when the
great vibrating will of all the people
has been crystallized into an active
and intelligent force that will sweep
aside all obstacles that resist its pur-
pose to mete out justice to all man
kind and establish among all the peo-
pies of the earth-the Brotherhood of
Man.

PROPER FEEDING OF
MOULTING CHICKENS
Hens Require Extra Amount Of Carr
and Attention During
Period.
By PROF. y. swINEY.)

10y HTSOr. IL. - w 1lNEI.)
During moulting the hens require an
extra amount of care and in fact all
the attention which can be given
them In too many instances moult-
ing is considered just natural Sc
quence of poultry keeping. The fowls
at this time are just as bad as a child
cutting his teeth. 1t is not the mere
fact of losing feathers or pushing a
tooth through as much as the consti-
tutional disturbance that is set up.
One symptom of moulting is lethargy.
The birds, instead of being early risers,
NOPE about on their perches and will
not venture out in search of food that
is so essential to them at this trying
period. Dainty food should be pre-
pared. Warm meal with a dash of
spice in it in the morning and contin-
ual change.
In regard to grain: Corn, wheat,
barley, oats and mashed potatoes with
eal-anything to tempt the appetite
two or three rusty nails or bit OF
sulphur in the drinking water are
great helps. In confined runs meat
must be added, and, il fact, scraps OF
meat may we'll be given on any run.
Two things are essential: (1) That
fairly early each morning the hen
house should be cleared of belated
risers; (2) the floor should be swept
at the same time, as lot of vermin
come off with the shed feathers These

and not put on the nearest manure
heap. After moulting is over give
morning mash of shorts and bran in
a crumbly condition and feed plenty
of oats.

Skirt Widths.

Much has been heard regarding full
er skirts for suits next season, says
the Dry Goods Economist. The skirt
now being made is happy medium
between full skirt and the very mar
row one in vogue a year ago. This
will no doubt be the popular width
for fall and winter. 1t is still made
to give the straight, narrow lines, but
has enough fullness to permit of per-
feet freedom in walking. A few plaits
are introduced in a clever manner in
the back, front or sides, but are press
ed or stitched SC as not to give any
fare.

One of the first things l look for in
steer bought for feeder is loose,
pliable, mellow skin, with a thick
cover of thrifty looking hair. If the
other points of the steer are salts
factory, these indicate an animal that
can turn corn into good beef at a
relatively small cost.
In buying feeders in stock pens or
at auction sales, look for the short
neck, short legs, deep body and
straight back, says a writer in the
Farm Progress. OF course, / do not
expect smocthness in feeder steer,
but neither do I want high thigh
bones and general appearance of
eoarseness.
Try to imagine how the steer will
look when fat and ready for the mar
ket- If his neck is thin, will it become
thicker? If the back is thin, is there
still thickness enough to carry the
load of fat that you hope to put
there?
1t does not matter much whether
the feeder steer is an animal in which
Angus or Galloway, Hereford or
Shorthorn blood predominates. They
are all breeds in which the same pur-
pose has been kept in mind. They
are all well fieshed, early maturing
stock. with capacity of turn
ing large amounts of feed into good
red beef at low cost
When buy feeder steer look for
an animal with short, broad head,
large muzzle, heavy, strong jaw;
smooth, strong shoulders, and wide,
deep chest, want no disturbers in a
herd that / am feeding, SO / keep
away from the wild and quarrelsome
sort as near as can. Of course, when
buying in car load or half car load

fseecastino the Weather.

OF all the scientific departments Thu
weather bureau was started with the
least amount of knowledge Of its par
ticular subject. Independent observ'
ers had gathered a small amount OF
disassociated facts and based conclu-
sion as it suited them upon the facts
But meteorology was a very indefinite
thing, strongly fbered with bad guess
es, myths, traditions and theories. II
was like the German grammar of
which Mark Twain complained For
every page of rules there were forty
pages of exceptions. When the wealth
er bureau was started it was with lit
tie worth while. 1t had to map out a
campaign of study, and there was no
way of telling how long it might be
before the study would permit of the
laying down Of rules. Every one
knows that the bureau is far more effi-
cient than it was. 1t is getting the
hang Of the weather, learning its null
titudinous tricks, its coyness and
treachery. 1t is in the nature Of the
rase a slow affair-Toledo Blade.

The Oruids.

The Druids were evidently of very
great antiquity. for there cannot be
much doubt that it was one Of their
customs that Virgil had in mind when
he wrote in the "Aeneid." vi, 142, that
the "only means Of access for living
mortal to the world of spirits was the
carrying of golden twig which grew
In dark and thick grove" The re-
semblance of the story to the Druidical
rite is perfect. The Druids practiced
their rites in dark groves. If a mis-
tetoe was discovered growing upon
an oak priest severed it with a knife,
and festival was held under the tree
at which two milk white bulls were
offered as a sacrifice. This was a sac
rifice to the sun god. and the mistletoe,
from its pale greenish yellow tint, was
regarded as a kind Of vegetable gold
and was accordingly looked upon as
being a fit offering to the sun.-New
York American.
