The other men glanced significantly

Good luck, Floyd" wished slim
Italian driver, whose reputation
equaled Stanton's own. as he turned
away.
The Mercury car was out already.
One of the factory men cranked it,
after Stanton took his seat. Floyd was
moving to take the place beside. when
his eyes fell on the drivers bandaged
wrist
Whats up?" Stanton demanded, at
the exclamation.

"Slightly. l cranked an Atalanta
Six yesterday with my spark ad'

The mechanician stopped with one
foot on the car, looking at him.
81 set my spark forward and went
around in front and cranked up and
wrenched my arm," Stanton explicitly
repeated.
Floyd regarded him blankly, then
slowly dissolved into smile Of nu-
morous comprehension and stepped
into the car.
81 had no right to ask, of course, y
he agreed. Il beg your pardon.
Curious people should expect to hear
nonsense"
Floyd believed himself put off with
an obvious tale, as one reproves a
too-importunate child, so impossible
he considered such carelessness. And
Stanton wholly coincided with his
judgment. Only, the fact remained.
The little episode had relieved the
atmosphere, however. and restored
naturalness of speech. They shot down
the course, in the sweet country air.

Then Stanton had his first exhibition
of what Floyd called tuning up his

speedometer was indicating eighty

1t was Floyd's hour of empire. STAN

propriate situation, and the mechani-
clan sprang out to investigate the un-
hooded power-plant.
Now We'll try. She Is good for

Stanton accordingly restarted.

Floyd got out, flushed. tired, his
heavy hair clinging in damp rings to
his temples, but sunnily content. Mr..
Green contemplated him anxiously; he
had heard an account of Stanton s
morning greeting to his mechanician.

SOME REASONS WHY FRUITS

All about us. in ground. water and
air, are numberless little plants called
moulds, yeast and bacteria Most of
them are only visible by the aid of a
plants do well in one kind of soil or
atmosphere, while others require en-
vironment of an entirely different ma
ture.
The souring of milk, the working of
canned fruit, the decay of canned veg
etables and meats, the change of cider
into vinegar, etc. are all due to the
presence of certain OF these plants.

the commercial world. Apples must
be picked, packed and marketed in a
business manner if the growers desire
to get profits from their orchards.
This means the meeting of the con
sumers half way in the demands they
make for uniformity in size, color,
flavor and varieties of fruits The ap-
pie associations have big battle be-
fore them to gain a victory for the
growers. They must first originate a
campaign of publicity for the apple.
There are more than 200 ways of
preparing apples for food The deal
ers and consumers should know these
things and be informed on how to
utilize apples in place of other fruits.
Every box of apples sent to market
booklet telling of the merits of the
fruit and how to prepare it for food.
This could be obtained at little ex-
pense and would certainly act as a
leaflet in the markets and
homes of the world. An educational
work should be carried into every
place where apples are consumed that
should tell of the health and value of
the apple.-Joel Shoemaker.

the air itself causes the working Of
canned goods.
1t has been found. however. that it
is possible to keep canned goods with
out sealing in the usual manner by
simply filtering the air which reaches
them. For example, take a can of
peas, seal it with a plug of cotton in
stead of the usual lid. then heat it un-
til all germs are killed and the
vegetables will keep without spelling.
because while the air can pass in and
out OF the jar, the plants causing the
damage are strained out Experiments
of this kind have proved in different
laboratories that it is the inhabitants
OF the air and not the air itself which
causes decay.-Miss Grace Smiley,

BILE Vegetables should be we'll cooked

is especially very good for children on

are much better than whole fruit.
Fruits and vegetables contain the

BILE part, source of irritation to the
intestines-a common cause of diarr-

1t is also important that all water
given the child should be boiled, as
drinking water contains the bacteria
which bring on summer complaint.
A child should have regular hours
for eating. At this age he should have
five meals a day. At meal time his
attention should be confined to his
food by having him sit quietly and eat
from tray or table instead of allowing
two while at play

The Feeding Of Youna Children.

The second summer is a period OF
terror to most mothers, and well it
may be, since SO many children suffer
from bowel troubles which often prove
fatal.
1t is generally agreed by our best
physicians that trouble is nearly all
due to lack of proper kind and amount
of food. At this time children are
usually given all or in part solid food.
Doting relatives and careless servants
will not refuse the pet of the house
hold whatever it desires. Hot weather
and little of this and that dainty or a
few bites from grandmother's plate
are the cause OF four or five visits
from the physician and the outcome is
watched with bated breath.
A physician told the writer a recent
experience of his which shows how
dearly such an indiscretion may cost.
He was called to attend an eighteen
months old child suffering from severe
commissions. By almost superhuman
efforts the little life was saved, and he
demanded of the mother what she had
allowed the child to eat. She had GWEN
piece of pickle she had been eating.
Young children are best fed simple
foods. as they do not need or demand
variety. Plenty OF good pure ocw's
milk should form the principal article
of diet. All starchy foods should be
thoroughly cooked. Cereals are best
cooked two or three hours and strain
ed. Meat, with the exception OF lit
tie well cooked bacon, should not be
given at all. The Juice of steak or
roastbeef dish gravy may be used on
well baked bread or potatoes Meat

Alfalfa Seed Production.

Alfafal is indispensable to the farm
er of the western states for hay pro
duction and for keeping up soil fertili-
ty in their crop rotations. The area
in alfalfa is rapidly increasing in many
OF the eastern states. Consequently
there is a large demand for alfalfa
seed for sowing new fields, and each
seems to be more limited
1t has become well established that
some strains of alfalfa are superior to
others, especially for some localities
1t seems important that there should
be developed an alfalfa seed growing
industry to furnish more dependable
home grown" supplies of the best
strains of alfalfa seed
Fifteen or twenty years ago cetrain
districts in Colorado were producing
considerable alfalfa seed, even export
ing some. Recently the same sections
are growing barely enough seed for
local demands.
During the early years of alfalfa
of seed varying from five to ten bush
els per acre were quite common. Now
it is seldom that a grower can secure
yield of more than three or four
bushels of seed per acre. This is es-
pecially true on some of the best irri-
gated land Such yields are not in
ducement enough for farmer on high
priced land to leave a crop of alfalfa
mature for seed.
The question as to why alfalfa is
failing to produce seed as abundantly
as it did in former years is causing
the Colorado experiment station to de-
vote special attention to the problem.
The solution has not been fully reach
ed, but some results of value are re
ported in Bulletin 191 of the Colorado
agricultural college and will be sent
free on request.-Philo X. Blinn.

College, of Fort Collins, says:
The following tools should be found
in every farmers workshop:
One-tenth tooth crosscut handsaw.
One-quarter 1a-tooth ripsaw.
One set firmer chisels, A-inch to
11R-inches by eighths.
One bit brace.
One set bits, " inch to 1-inch by

One jack plane.
One fore plane.
One smooth plane.
One draw knife.
One hammer.
One nail set.
One carpenters square.
One try square.
One two-foot folding rule.
One carborundum tool grinder
There are many other tools, not in
cluded in this list. that are very handy
and useful, but with those given all
ordinary repairs to buildings may be
made.
The cost of these tools is not great,
and will soon be saved over the cost
of repairing by a carpenter.
Repairs to buildings should be made
just as soon as the necessity for them
is discovered. If repair is postponed
for a more convenient time, in a great
many cases that time never comes.

MORE THAN THREE MILLION
TREES IMPORTED INTO U. S.

Figures gathered by the federal
quarantine board of the department of
agriculture show that during the past
fiscal year 3,779,041 growing trees and
15,04O pounds of tree seeds were i'm
ported into the United States. The
trees include, say the members Of the
board, valuable species that do not
grow in the United States and stock
which can at present be bought more
cheaply abroad. The tree seeds i'm
ported are largely for the purpose of
reforesting land, though in a number
of cases they are used in ornamental
planting on individual estates.
France leads in the number of grow
ing trees sent here, with total of
1,7S2,255. Germany is second, with
total of S49,245, and Holland third,
with 69O,632 Imports are made from
thirteen countries, including India,
Japan and Australia.
The trees and shrubs imported are
chiefly evergreens, such as pines,
spruces and frs and broad-leaf plants,
oaks, naples, etc. The majority is
stock of foreign origin, though in a
few cases cultivators abroad through
special selection of attractive forms
of our native trees have developed
them to such an extent as to make
them desirable to purchasers here.
