A long time ago there lived a mer-
chant in an eastern city who knew
the secret of making money. He
made so much he didn't know what
to do with it. But one day he died
and all his wondrous fortune fell into
the hands of his young and foolish
son.
Now, this son didn't know any
thing about the value of money. So
he just spent it as fast and as fool
ishly as he could. He really threw it
away.
Though there was much of it, he
finally got rid of all his gold and sill
yer. He hadn't thing left except
lowered dressing gown and pair
of carpet slippers. His friends turned
away from him and laughed at him
because he had been so silly.
One day two or three of his friends
decided to send him AN OLD TRUNK
with this note attached: Pack up
and be Off"
1t was a hint for him to get out OF
the neighborhood. He didn't mind
the idea at all In fact, he was rather
glad of the suggestion. The only
trouble was that he had not a thing
to pack.

himself. 'I'n get into that trunk"
He was just climbing in when he no
ticed a peculiar looking lock on the
trunk He pushed it just wee bit
and he was almost sure the trunk
tilted up on one end as if it, were
about to fly.

CARING FOR YOUNG ALFALFA
Practice of Pasturlng Crop During Fall
and Winter to Save Feed Bill
Is Serious Mistake.

(By o. o. CHURCHILL, Department of
Agronomy, Oklahoma Agricultural
College.)
Many people, on account of short
age of pasture and to save feed, pas
ture their alfalfa during the fall and
winter. This practice is harmful to
all alfalfa, whether it is young or old.
No doubt 1t reduces the yields the
following season, although the reduc.
tion may be very slight If conditions
are favorable.
With young alfalfa the practice Is
very harmful. It reduces the vigor Of
the plant, reduces the yield very ma
terially the following years, and fire.
quently kills out some of the young
plants at time when they are not
very we'll developed Fall seeded al.
falfa should never be pastured during
the same fall and winter in which it
is seeded The little feed which the
alfalfa will furnish during the winter
is far more than Offset by the decrease
in yield.

set it may require two or three years
for 1t to fully recover, and during all
Of this time the yields are smaller
than they otherwise would be. 1t
pays to give young alfalfa careful
treatment and to give 1t every oppor-
tunity to make good development

SILo is A NATIONAL FACTOR
All Great industries Depending on
Live Stock Are Advocating Use
of Huge Receptacle.
(By A. L. HAEcKER.l

10y A. IL. 6AEChER.D
The leading agricultural subject Of
the day is the silo, and it's coming is
of national Importance. No subject Is
receiving so much attention from the
experiment stations farm papers and
farmers institutes. All the great in
dustries depending on live stock, such
as the stock yards, creameries, pack
Ing houses and transportation COM
panies are advocating its use. 1t is
q conservation subject of great impor-
tance, for with it can be saved large
part Of our principal crop Nearly 40
per cent. of the food elements of the
corn crop of this country are now
being wasted. BY the use of the silo
this could be saved and by so doing,
hundreds of millions of dollars could
be added to our national wealth. The
corn forage which annually goes to
waste in this country Is often referred
to as the "billion dollar waste" Is 1t
any wonder we are complaining Of the
high cost of living?
In the past eleven years the great
stock industry of the United States in
comparison with our population, has
been showing decline. This condi-
ton has been largely brought about
by the rise Of price in all kinds Of

MEAT AND RICE COMBINATION
Excellent Method of Putting Daily
"Leftovers" to Good Use Is
Typical italian Dish.

In ever the poorest of Italian homes
the brown casseroles are in evidence.
Failing one, however, any deep earth
en- or granite ware dish will answer.
Wash thoroughly in two or three wa
ters one cup rice. Drain, then throw
into kettle of boiling water with a
teaspoonful salt. Boil rapidly for Is
or 20 minutes, until the rice is tender,
drain and set back on the range or in
the oven for the rice to swell and dry.
Take one-third of the cooked rice and
set aside and with the remainder line
sides and bottom of the buttered
casserole. To one pint cold minced
meat-any sort preferred-add two
well beaten eggs, two tablespoonfuls
dried bread crumbs, a tablespoonful
chopped parsley, teaspoonful onion
juice, two tablespoonfuls of melted
butter, and salt, pepper and sweet
herbs to season. Mix thoroughly, add
gravy or stock to make rather moist,
pack into the center of the casserole,
cover the top with the reserved rice
and cook for an hour. Serve with to-
mato sauce.

CARE OF SETTING HEN
Nothing viii Dislodge Perfectly
Hard-Working Matron.
Box or Barrel Laid on Side, Painted
Inside With carbolipeum or Some
Other Good Lice Paint 10
Suitable Nest.

By PROF. JOHN WILLARD BOLTE.)
A setting hen is perfectly respect
able hard working matron, suffering
from an acute attack of spring fever.
She will not work, she refuses to lay
or even talk about it, and she devel-
ops a very grabbed disposition in a
remarkably short length of time. Seek
ing out some chosen nest she takes
possession, by force, II necessary, and
proceeds to occupy it for about 23
hours and rs minutes every day She
leaves it secretly and in silence, only
when food is necessary. Having sat
SIZED her wants, she suddenly remem-
hers that unguarded nest, and makes
or 1t with great speed and confusion
1t matters not whether the nest con-
aims eggs or doorknob, 1t is dear to
Der, and nothing will dislodge her.
Ehere she will hold the fort until
her motherly longing is satisfied in
o brood of little downy peppers. The
writer once hatched three successive
broods of chicks under the same hen,
the hen setting for rs consecutive
days, and coming off the nest reluc-
family and in good health at the end
of that time.
The best way to detect broody
hen is to look through the nests after
dark and see whether there are any
hens on them. If so, they should eth.
er be brought up or placed on some
worthless eggs in the Matching quar-.
ters, as they do harm in the regular
laying pens by partially incubating
eggs and fighting with all the other
hens.
Almost any concave nest, well lined
with hay, will do for setting a hen.
Take box, or barrel laid on its side,
paint 1t inside with carbolineum or
some other good lice paint, and form
the nest out of earth with two inches
Of hay covering it.
Be sure to get the corners filed so
that the eggs cannot roll into them
Have the edge of the box not over
three inches higher than the eggs. 80
that the hen will not jump on them
Dust the hen with insect powder, place
her on the nest on some dummy eggs
and cover her with another, ventilated
box. Let her off in "a hours, and II
she goes back again, 1t will be safe to
put good eggs under her.
Use an odd number of eggs, depend
ing upon the size of the hen and the
season. Thirteen in cold weather and
15 in warm, is about right for
Plymouth Rock hen.
Keep whole corn and pure water al
hand and let the hen take care of her
self. The chicks usually begin to
hatch on the twenty-first day. Let then
alone until the night of the twenty
second day. Then move her and the
chicks to warm, dry coop and dc
not feed the chicks until the twenty
fourth day.
1t Is good plan to set two hens
at the same time and give all Of the
chicks to one hen after they are
hatched.

stock. This in turn has driven many
men out of the stock business, and dis
couraged others from going in. With
the silo the cost of producing stock
and stock products can be greatly
lowered Experiments have shown
that by the use Of the silo In place
of the old feeding methods, butter can
be produced from nine to ten cents
per pound cheaper and saving made
on the production of beef from $150
to So per hundred pounds. AS the
largest part of our food comes from
live stock 1t is plain to see the rela-
tion of the silo to our national food
supply.

kinds Of farm forage and is a good
and cheap ration for horses, cattle,
sheep, swine and chickens. 1t re-
quires little storage space, is a labor

Family Incubator Faults,

When less than go per cent. of the
fertile eggs in an incubator hatch
there's something wrong. Either the
breeders are "off" or the feeding is at
fault, or the range exercise and fresh
air are not enough. These can easily
be remedied But when they are all
right the trouble must be with the
machine. If an incubator doesn't give
more than a 60 per cent. hatch of the
fertile eggs. better burn it. A new
one will cost less than a constant loss
OF 40 per cent. Of high-priced eggs.

Best Poultry Tonlcs.

Fresh air, sunshine and exercise are
the best poultry tonics. But fresh air
does not mean drafts in the houses,
nor does sunshine call for exposure to
hot suns during the summer. The
houses should be so constructed that
fresh air can constantly be present to
drive out bad odors and purify the at
mosphere. The sunshine should be
able to reach every corner to destroy
any germs that might be lurking in
dampness. The fowls should exercise
by scratching that a good circulation
of the blood may be stimulated. The
above are the three best medicines in
the poultry doctors art

COLD IN
The HEAD
Is the First Chapter in the History
of Chronic Disease,

A cold in the head is the first chapter
in the history of disease and death.
This has been so often repeated that
there are few people indeed who have
not witnessed many examples of it.
A cold in the head is rarely severe
enough to confine vigorous person to
the house. AS a rule, it ends in recovery
without any treatment. This has led
many people to regard cold in the
head as of no Importance. tits terrible
mistake, however, to pass by cold in
the head as trivial matter. Each case
should be treated.
Those who have used Peruna for such
cases will testify unanimously that a
few doses is sufficient to remove everv
vestige of the cold. How much better
it is to treat cold in this way than it
is to allow it to go on and on for weeks.
perhaps months, leaving effects that
will never be eradicated.
Yet there are those who neglect to
take Peruna for a cold in the head.
This neglect is due to the false notion
that cold in the head is hardly worth
noticing.
A cold in the head is in reality case
of acute. catarrh. 1t ought to be called
so, in order to awaken people from
their lethargy on this subject. In a
large per cent of cases cold in the head
will end in chronic catarrh. Unless
properly treated with some such rem
edy as Per0na, perhaps so per cent of
cases of cold in the head viii lay the
foundation for chronic catarrh.
A tablespoonful of Peruna should be
taken at the very first symptom of cold
in the head. Usually where the cold is
not very severe a tablespoonful of Pc
runa before each meal and at bedtime
is sufficient. 1t may be necessary,
however, where the attack is more SER
ious, TO keep strictly in the house and
take tablespoonful of Peruna every
hour. Younger people, feeble or deli
cate women. should take teaspoonful
every hour.

Children learn readily Of right think

them too many memory gems, pro-
vided they are suited to their age and
intelligence. Every thought will not

will affect some child. Robert Louis

SAVE TIME ON IRONING DAY
Attention to These Small Details VIII
Llehten Labor and Result in
Better Work,

When ironing small articles, such as
napkins and handkerchiefs, do not let
your iron cool while you do the fold
ing. Iron table napkin straight and
true and dry on the wrong side; lay
it aside and iron another and keep on
as long as your iron keeps hot enough.
Then place the iron on the'stove and
pull the napkins with the hands and
you have the loose folds used by the
best housekeepers. Also the thread of
the linen stands out nicely on the
right side, as does any hemstiching
or embroidery that may be there. Lin
en- towels should be done this way,
and the most common ones will look
wondrously fine, not to mention the
appearance of the best ones, says the
Washington Herald.
Pillow slips being double, must be
ironed on the wrong side and laid
aside. When ready to put away in
boxes, fold in required size with the
hands. Fold your table cloths once
wrong side out, and iron on both sides
of fold. Place irons on the fire, then
fold tablecloth loosely. Treat linen
sheets the same way, but cotton ones
may be folded twice before ironing.

Many shibboleths have been devised
for testing sobriety. George Meredith,
who doubtless could have evolved
some wonderful examples, had he
chosen, calls them "oinmeters, or
methods of determining the condition

wine or beer in him." One of the
most snareful of these is the sentence,
