window.
"Fertig?" he inquired OF the FIRST
guard. who turned to the second also
to ask "fertig?" This was repeated
along to the last car. where the signal
system doubled on its trail II having

In the region between the sea and the
river called Missouri the humidity of
the climate as well as the soil is re-
markable. In many parts the humidity
is so intense that there grows upon
ears Of corn species Of fungus. As a
result of this the bread made from the

FEATHERS AND EoesHELLs.

Ordinary lawn clippings, dried

Sow white clover on the lawn and the

is an old saying we recommend TO the
fellow who is tempted 10 hatch more
chicks than he can take care of as well
as to the friend who is about TO buy
land to go into the poultry business
Chickens require plenty Of room. and
because this was not provided for al

been a failure.

For the recent trapping season be

one red fox. We congratulate M
McBratney as the champion polecai
catcher of Pennsylvania and also thv
poultry raisers of his vicinity on hay
ing such a poultry pest killer handy
to save their roosters.
We advise farmers who 90 to shows
to buy stock to inquire before buying
if it was bred by the double mating
method. If so we advise them not %
buy. for the double mating system is
unnatural. and the birds cannot pro

If Lion Pulls and Horse Pulls.

If a lion and a strong horse were to
pull in opposite directions the horse
would pull the lion backward with
comparative ease. But if the lion were
hitched behind the horse and facing in

exert his strength in backing be could
easily pull the horse down upon his

Guineas live mostly on worms and

greens and grain they pick up in field
and wood.
They not only require this natural
food, but much exercise-nOt only ex-

This they don't get in coops nor in
an oozy barnyard dragging after a

For two seasons a neighbor tried to

DULL TIME FOR ROYAL CHILD
Very Little of the Genuine Joys

on the joys of early life in the way
that most children born to a throne
are in a position to do, Nor will any
of his European colleagues envy the
crown prince of Russia.
From the day Of his birth the little
prince was put under the care Of a

with his life for the safety of his

his bedchamber. The room is locked,
but a series of bells would at a touch

Little Alexis was four years old be-
fore his eyes fell on any sight beyond
his own small garden bounded by the
wall of a courtyard. He did not even
play as other children do. for while
he was digging in the sand or running
about with his only companion the
son of a lady in waiting, other chill
dren were acting as his ghosts and
running about in another part of the
garden to distract attention and make
security doubly sure. His own Cos
sack guarded the imperial child of
Russia, while a second Cossack guard
simulated duty over the other little
ones.
An English tutor entered upon the
service of the czarevitch when he was
seven years old, but all lessons are
