systematic and old fashioned methods.
This the poultry school is doing. The
poultry school dignifies poultry learn
ing. the chair of poultry husbandry in
our universities is a great factor in OBJ
tanning serious consideration of sub
ject by a public that once did not deem
1t worthy Of academic treatment.
Through the influence of the poultry
school old methods are being discarded
and modern methods based on scientific
principles take their place The stand
ard Of excellence is raised and more
capital will be attracted to the indus
try, more men in the, business world
will be interested
1t is amazing to observe how little
attention the average poultry maya
zine gives to the subject of poultry in
struction and investigation. Many jour
nails apparently have little knowledge
Of what is being accomplished even in
their own state to judge by the con-
spicuous absence Of comment in their

Flowers That Bless You.

Flowers flourish in the gardens
of those who love them. A pleas
ant magic would be, if you could
flush flowers into a brighter bloom
by a kind look upon them; nay
more, if look had not only the
power to cheer but to guard them,
this would think a great thing.
And do you think it not greater
thing that all this and more than
this, you can do for fairer flowers
than these flowers that could
bless you for having blessed them
and love you for having loved them
flowers that have eyes like yours,
and thoughts like yours, and lives
like yours? -LaBelle Star.

Rules For Measuring Corn.

There are many rules for measur-
ing corn. Inquiries conducted by
the Missouri State Board of Agri-
culture shows the following in COM
mon use: Sixteen cubic feet of
corn in shuck Cor if extra well set
tied, Is feet) make a barrel. The
number of cubic feet multiplied by
the decimal a gives bushels. Null
tiply together the length, width and
height OF the pen or crib, in inches,
and divide by 1920 for old corn, or
1890 for new corn, to get bushels.
Where it can be done corn should
be weighed, rather than measured.

Scouts Please Business Men.

John Wheeler, scoutmaster of
Troop No. l, Boy Scouts of America

business men in his town that the
scout activities have had fine in
tiuence on boys. Business men,"
he writes, inform me that the boys
are not nearly so bOthersome as
formerly, more courteous, truthful.
1t has been the custom of the lodges
here to place flowers over the
graves of their members on Decora-
ton Day. Last Decoration Day the
scouts bought flowers, and money
is none too plentiful and very dear
to a growing boy, and placed them
on the graves in the potter's field
This has made the scouts thought
of much more than formerly by the
residents of FallOn. The boys also

Social Work But No Home.

1t is a sad commentary on the
intelligence of American women
that so many of them have thrown
themselves headlong into move
ments for civic betterment and in
dustrial welfare, who have turned
their backs upon sons and daugh-
tiers pining for companiOnship
through some of the hardest hours
of their existence. Nothing more
illogical could be imagined than a
woman going down to rescue unfor-
Inmates in the slums, whose daugh-
ter is flirting with the ashman out
a boarding-schOol window; yet such
things have been known. This
same well meaning mother may
have lost, years ago, when her
daughter was a little more than a
child, through some stupid act of
anger or neglect, the hold over the
girls heart which was necessary for
a maturer influence.
Oh, the legions of silly women
who accept without question the
dictum of a band of agitators re-
garding the use of their leisure"
produced by the abolition of the
loom and the soap-pot from the
home. 1t is easy to think that
serving on a Committee for the in
vestigation of the Safety of Shop
girls is noble work, and that read
ing your fourteen-year-ol boys
composition on steam engines is a
trivial. The purpose of one is OBJ
vious and mighty; the significance
OF the other subtle and far-distant.
Yet it is wise mother who leaves
the shop-girl'S safety to grandmoth-
ers and spinSters, and concentrates
bravely upon the steam engine

There sunshine always beams;
Today we close our eyes and see
Our Yesterday in dreams;
Today we hear the long-dead song,
And now we understand
It's cadence, and know why it made
Our Yesterday all grand
A little way to Yesterday
Today may have its fears,
Yet Yesterday is filled with smiles.
Tomorrow has its tears
Today - tomorrow What Of them,
When we can find the way
That leads us to the golden land

And each will soon be Yesterday.

His Ambition.

Too many people, said the cler-

the little boy in the jam closet. His
mother pounced on him suddenly.
He stood on tip-toe, ladling jam
with both hands from the jam pot
to his mouth.

And only last night you prayed to
be a saint
His face, an expressionless mask
of jam, turned toware her,
Yes, but not till after I'm dead

A Few Tips for Making Jelly.

Use good fruit which is a little
under-ripe.
Use the best granulated sugar.
Do not make large quantities of
jelly at one cooking.
Heat the sugar in the oven before
adding it to the fruit juice.
If the Juice must be boiled down,
always do so before the sugar is
added.
The jelly will be clearer and finer
if the fruit is simmered gently and
not stirred during cooking.

GRAVEYARD Episode

Two fellows had been noting
and on their way home they had to
pass cemetery which was sur
rounded by a high stone fence
They thought this would be a good
place to stop and divide the nuts,
so they clint ed over this high wall
into the cemetery and in doing so
they dropped couple of nuts on
the other side Of the wall.
They sat down by the wall and
opened the sack and began dividing
them in two piles. One for you
and one for me" One for you aud
one for me" And so on. During
their division of the nuts an old
Irishman passed the cemetery and
he heard voices inside so quietly
sneaked up to the stone wall and
sure enough he heard them say
One for you and one for me; one
for you and one for me"
This frightened poor old Pat and
he started on a dead run toward
home. He met his pal, Mike, on
the road. and he said, % Mike. just
as | was coming past the cemetery,
| heard the Lord and the Devil d.
Viding up the dead" Mike said,
"Begorry Pat, you're either drinking
too hard or you're dreaming"
mo sor," said Pat, come along
and hear with your own ears. So
they went back and crawled up
close to the wall and the two fel-
lows we're still dividing their nuts,
One for you and one for me; one
for you and one for me-" and as
they got to the last nut in the sack,
one of them said, What shall we
do with the two on the other side
of the fence
To this Pat and Mike jumped up
and run and Pat said, Now didn't l
tell we so?"
