MADE ALL THE Difference
How American Came to Appreciate
Value of Membership in the
Legion of Honor.

Peary's decoration with the cross
of the Legion of Honor provoked
remark that Frenchmen find it much
more difficult to obtain this distinc-
ton than do foreigners. Four thou
sand aliens are said to possess it.
The American who once had to be
content with his college or fraternity
pin now wears, or at least knows
some one who wears, ribbon of
some sort emitting him to special
consideration in the old world.
The practical value of decoration
is illustrated by the experience of
westerner who desired to edo" the
electric lighthouse at La Heve, near
Havre. The crusty guard declined
to honor his permit, explaining that,
since it had been issued, orders had
been given to admit no visitors after
shutdown.
AS the American was turning
away, baffied, the guard suddenly
caught sight of a red ribbon in his
buttonhole. His manner changed
instantly. "Ah, monsieur is cheva-
lier of the Legion of Honor. That
makes all the difference !''-New
York Evening Post.

When fall is here, and the price Of
eggs begins to climb upward. with the
sure prospect of good prices all win
ter, then those who have given but
little attention to the poultry during
the rest of the year will begin to ask
How shall / make my hens lay
through the winter?
1t Is uphill work to take flock OF
hens that have been poorly cared for
and are altogether unprepared, and
by caring for them after cold wealth
er is already here, get them to lay
ing before spring.
The time to begin preparations for
the winter harvest is in the spring,
and the start must be made by choos-
ing for the parents of your laying
stock only those fowls that are strong
and healthy and good laying stock.
BY this care in selecting the eggs
from which to hatch your next win
ter's layers you give them hereditary
tendencies to be good layers and good,
strong constitutions to help them de-
velop quickly and enable them to stand
the strain of early and heavy lay
ing
IL this has all been done, and the
little chicks Matched, then winter eggs
or no winter eggs depend entirely on
your care for and feeding Of these
chicks to prepare them for their win
ter's work.
They must be fed well and variety
Of food, so that the whole body will
develop properly.
Bone and muscle must keep ahead
OF the fat, but If only fattening food
is given them they cannot grow bone
and muscle, SO feed them bran and cut
oats or oatmeal and cut bone, as
well as coarsely ground corn. They
must also have food in some form.
Good, sweet beef scraps are all right
for this, or skim milk will take the
place of meat.
Although they should be fed as
much as possible to hurry their
growth, they must not be fed enough
to cause indigestion. They must be
given the habit of eating a great deal
OF food, but must also be given a good
digestion with which to handle it.
The ability to assimilate large guam
titles of food Is absolutely necessary
for heavy layer.
AS an aid in helping them to digest
their food and in growing muscle ex-
ercise Is very important. If they are

LARGE FARMS FOR BIG MEN
Small Pieces of Land Are Below
Average Mentality and Capacity
of American Farmer.

Big men require big farms to make
money. They must have room in
which to exercise their activities of
mind
This is not saying that every man
who happens to own a large farm is
successful or that every man who
happens to own a small farm ia un-
successful because of his personal
shortcomings as a farmer.
There are many big-hearted farm
ers on the small farms of the east
who have spent most of their lifetime
in eaking out very moderate living
without being able to properly edu-
Cate their children or provide against
the future day when they can no long
er work.
These men have failed because they
did not have land enough upon which
to extend their mental and physical
energy
Many men IN the west have ratified
around half their lifetime on large
areas without making money because
they were too small for the land they
own--they are insists.
There is a great deal of talk about
cutting up the large farms Of the
west into small areas, and it is true
that the tendency Is toward small
farms, but ne man can succeed at
grain or stock farming on a limited
area, and the wheat and beef, mutton,
pork. etc.. Of this country will always
be raised on large farms.
In New England, or In any CT the
eastern states, where the average of
f1llable land is from 35 to so acres,
machinery cannot be used at profit.
To equip farm Of rs to 100 acres,
from $4,000 to $4,000 would be re-
CURED. and not enough profit can be
made by general farming to maintain
this equipment and make profit, be-
cause it cannot be used to advantage.
Farm tools must be used to their
fullest capacity during the entire
cropping season to make them profit
able. 1t does not pay the farmer to
buy a mower to cut five or ten acres
of grass, nor harvester to cut the
same amount OF wheat.
He must therefore hire machinery
when and how he can, and is thus
always placed at a disadvantage in
The matter of time and cost
The small farm Is below the aver.
age mentality and business capacity
Of the average farmer of America
Thousands of men are struggling to
earn q livelihood on so acres who
would become wealthy on 500.

to the side Of a wagon with what Is
known as a sloping deck. A vertical
shaft runs through it, and at the top
of this shaft is a rotary cutter. The
gear which drives his cutter Is oper-
ated by the revolving Of the wagon
wheel, but as 1t is a multiple gear the
knife revolves much faster than the
wheel. A drag chain with gathering
fingers Is attached to the upper part
of the frame. and this chain engages
the cobs of corn and forces them
against the cutter. AS the ears are
severed they fall in upon the sloping
side of the wagon and are projected
into heap in the bottom of the We
hicle. A whole field Of corn can be
headed with this machine in a short
time.

Average Farnn Income.

Nearly everyone has been talking
about the wealth of the farmers and
wondering at the rapidity with which
they buy motor cars, build fine homes
and improve their lands, says the Ne
braska Farm Journal But after all we
cannot be SO very proud of the aver
age farm income. Uncle Sam discov-
cred recently that the average farm
income was only s640 e year That
does not mean clear profits. but the
whole income. Can you figure where
the big profit would come in?
