ROYALTIES TIPS AR LARGE
Crowned Heads Expend Large Sums
for Gratuites to Those Who
Have Served Them.

When a man begins to grumble at
the tipping habit in New York, says
the Times, he should thank his stars
he does not belong to the nobility.
The sums paid out by royalty in tip
ping servants while on a visit would
support several families for year.
For instance, the late King Edwards
tipping bills ran into the thousands
each year. He made it point that
when visiting friend, even for few
hours, never to leave without be-
slowing notes among the servants. 1t
Is said that when he visited for the
weekend he seldom left less than
$1,000 to be distributed as tips.
When the king went to a shooting
party each beaten received IS and the
head keeper $25 or more, according
to the duration of the visit. The
kaiser is said to be the most liberal
, Upper among royalty of Europe. 1t
is said that every servant in house
which he visits is sure to be remem-
bered. The day before a visit comes
to an end a secretary hands the chief
steward an envelope containing the
amount to be distributed, and he
makes sure each servant receives his
allotted share. Even the employees
of the stable are remembered

some material and make a frame that
will be credit to your business. The
harness is a part of the equipment
that should be watched. The safety
of yourself or family may depend
upon it some time Replace the weak
straps and snaps with good ones. The
names and especially the hame staples
and hame straps will need replacing.
After making the repairs, wash the
harness and apply a coat of good har-
ness dressing.
II there are any waste corners in
your fields, clear them this winter. A
few sticks of dynamite will do away
with those stumps or rocks you lave

pounds of 40 per cent dynamite will
cost, with fuse and caps, $500, and
will save much time and labor II
you are so situated as to have rock

and construct that retaining wall or
culvert. Make those spring freshets
go where they will do the least dam

On days when 1t is too disagree
able to work out Of doors, plan your
spring work. Decide what you are
going to do when spring opens. If you
have been so fortunate as to have
kept a set of books, get them out and
study them. See where you could
have made more money, or where you
could have done work cheaper. Many
times a few hours spent looking over
the past will count for dollars and

Some people are wise enough to try

UNCLE SAM WILL HELP BURN CHINCH BUGS

E. c. G. Kelly, assistant entomologist
of the bureau, who has had headquar-

years, was in Manhattan few days
ago to complete arrangements for the

~ o THE average farmer winter is
considered a time for leisure.
There are many things, how.
ever, that can be done at this season
that will increase the value of the
farm, and keep up the equipment.
The farmer should try to lessen every
chance for anything to occur that will
delay operations when spring work be-
gins; for instance, chop the summer
supply of wood
Every farmer should go over his
machinery, and make list of the re.
pairs needed. When each machine
was placed in the shed at the end OF
the season, list should have been
made and placed on record as some
things are always overlooked, or are
hard to find after two or three months
have passed. Notice, especially, the
sickles of the moving machine; have
the shares or shovels of the plows aid
cultivators sharpened or replaced with
new ones. Sharpen and reset the
teeth on the harrows and examine
the binder Note the condition of
the canvases, chains and bookings Go
over all of the implements and re-
place worn bolts and tighten nuts. All
of these, and many more, mean loss
Of time when most valuable, if not
looked after now.
A coat Of paint will make an i'm
plement last longer. Take the wagons
for instance; the wheels should be
Thoroughly cleaned and dried, then
placed in a hot bath of linseed OIL
Run the fellows in a pan filled with
oil set over a fire, and use a paint
brush to get the oil around the spokes
at the hub. After filling all cracks
with oil, apply a coat of good paint.
If you have any equipment that paint
or repairs cannot make useful, get rid
of it and get something that can be
used without being watched all the
time. Many farmers have one or two
hay frames of some description.
In many instances these will hardly
hold together and are disgrace to

THE GRASSHOPPER SITUATION IN KANSAS

[By Geo A. Dean, Entomologist of thu
Although the farmers in western
Kansas experienced last summer the
most serious outbreak of grasshop-
pers known in that part of the state,
they demonstrated that they were
equal to the occasion. They were
prompt in organizing under the drcc-
t1on of the Kansas State Agricultural
College, and by putting into operation
the methods of control recommended
by the college they were successful in
destroying the hoppers. In fact. there
has never been a larger and more
successful piece of chronological dem.
onstration work than that in the con
troll of grasshoppers carried on by the
Kansas State Agricultural College
with the cooperation OF their farm
demonstration agents, the farmers and
the county officials. The entOmoo-
gists of the college and the farm dem
onstration agents who have just made
a careful examination of the grasshop.

Kansas than there has been for many
years. In fact, when we consider that
the farmer Of Western Kansas fed
to their grasshoppers almost thou
sand tons of poison bran mash there
is no wonder that there is a scarcity
of grasshoppers. From sixty to eighty
per cent Of the grasshoppers were
killed by the poison bran mash. The
remaining hoppers were so left to the
mercy of parasitic and predaceous in
sects that only few of them escaped.
The following report of the amount
of poison bran mash used in the grass
hopper control work is taken from
the reports Of the county officials who
were in charge of the county work:
Ford, 9S tons; Kearny, %; Finney,

the newspapers and farm papers,

interest.
