OLD SERVANTS WERE BEST
Kate Douglas WIggln's Story Of the
Aged Buffers Great Sense Of
Responsibility.

Kate Douglas Wiggin at her recent
authors luncheon In New York. talked
about servants-for this was a lunch
con of Woman authors, and when did
women ever foregather without tack
ling the servant problem?
The best servants are the old
fashioned ones" Mrs. Wiggin said,
These old-fashioned family retainers
are conscientious beyond belief 1t iB
almost pathetic to see how deeply at
heart they have the interests of the
family they work for.
There Is a very aristocratic old
New York family living in Washing
ton square. This family's butler is
now nearly seventy. He and his ia
ther before him have served in the
one house since the reyolution-or
almost since the revolution.
THE old buffers sense Of responsi'
bility extends even to the dcbutante
daughter Of the house, pretty girl
of eighteen. At a recent large dinner
party this girl devoted herself TO the
handsome young man on her right,
turning entirely too much of her
shoulder to the elderly curmudgeon on
her other side.
"The good butler noticed this and
II worried him. He did not wish the
debutante daughter Of the Oldest
house In New York to get a reputa-
tion for rudeness, such as so many
nouveaux riches debutantes have. and
so, during the game course, under
pretext of filling the young lady'a
glass with champagne, he whispered
hurriedly:
! "'A little more conversation to the
left, miss"

Real River Navigation.

Three steamers and seven steel
barges are now in regular service on
the Missouri river between St. Louis
and Kansas City. Each Of the three
steamers can tow two barges. Each
barge has a capacity equal tc fifty
car loads - or about as much
freight as two long freight trains
usually'cauy. The steamers also carry
freight, and have comfortable cabins
for passengers. The barges were de
signed and constructed especially for
use on the Missouri. They are non
sinkable, having compartments so ar
ranged that one part Of the hull may
fill with water without affecting any
other pait. They are freprooi. The
longest barge-the 'Endeavor has
length OF 23l feet and a width Of IL,
with depth Of feet. These barges
are easily handled by the boats and re-
quire very little work on the part oI
the boat crew. In fact the boats and
barges are handled so easily and simply
that the cost Of service is remarkably
low, though only high class boat men,
engineers and pilots are employed.
The slogan adopted by the Kansas
City business men who raised 81 ,500,.
900 in cash to establish boat service
on the Missouri is, The Way TO Nav
igate is TO Navigate. They are nov

KNOX'S TRIBUTE TO BEAUTY
Stern Old Scotsman Felt Its Charm,
but Was Able TO Withstand
It's Appeal.

Secretary Knox's name suggests old
John Knox, the only man who was
able to withstand the charms of Mary,
Queen of Scots, one Of the truly great
women Of the world. Knox, says Les
lies Weekly, wore a long beard, de-
scribed as flowing to his waist. and he
was noted as lady's man and for his
wonderful eloquence, lie possessed
the unusual trait of being fond of his
mothcrinlaw. Mary, Queen of Scots,
sent for John Knox. She hoped, by
her own beauty and the beautiful
women of her court, to dazzle the man
of charm. When the full splendor
burst upon Knox and as he took the
hand of Queen Mary, he was heard to
say; "Oh, how beautiful you are! II
only the beauty could last! But fio
upon the Knave Death, who would
come In and rob the eye Of It's luster.

Gold IS a Cheap Metal.

Gold is generally looked on as the
last word In costliness, but, as a mat
ter of fact, there are more metals
dearer than gold than there are cheap
er. The number Of known metals is
about seventy.
Iridium, for instance, Of which a
big find was made the other day in
Austria, Is three times as expensive
as gold.
Osmlum is another metal much
dearer than gold. 1t costs about $4S
an ounce. 1t is by far the heaviest
of all known substances, being more
than % times as heavy as water.
This metal has the peculiar property
Of being able to stand without melt
ing the most intense heat known.
Palladium--about $40 an ounce-is
just the reverse. 1t is quite easy to
make palladium vanish In steam. Be
ing OF white, silvery color, and un
tarnishable, it is used for the division
marks on scales and delicate scientific
instruments

A Cheap SiIu For Missouri Farmers.

A 100 ton silo that can be built
complete for $225.00 will appeal 70
many Missouri farmers. This silo is
the Gurler or plastered silo. A numb
Der Of them are in use in the State at
present, and because Of the low price
at which they can be built it is prob
able that many will be built this sum
mer. They preserve silage as well as
any other kind, do not dry out and fall
down when empty, and with reasonable
care can be expected to last about
fifteen years. One on the Experiment
Station farm was in fair condition at the
end OF seventeen years service when
it was torn down to make way for the
more permanent conrete silos.
This type Of silo is framed much
like house wall. A circular found
alton, is first put in. A mudsill is set
in the foundation, and two by four
studdiDgs are set on this mudsill.
Sheeting one half inch thick is nailed
to the inside Of the siudding, com
pletely enclosing the silo except for
the door openings. The inner surface
of the shee,ing is then lathed and
plastered with cement and sand. The
sheetsng re-i0iorces the silo and the
plaster makes it alright,
The entire material for a 100 ton
Gurler silo can probably be bought at
any lumber yard in the State lorSl75.00.
In sections where native lumber is
available, the cost will be mucn less.
Any man handy with tools can build
this silo The Missouri College oi
Agriculture, Columbia, Mo. will send
free TO any adress a circular which
shows il detail how to build the Cur
ler silo. By P. M. Brandt.

HEIGHT OF FORK OF TREES
It Never Grows Higher Than the Point
Where First Noted, Declares
an Authority.

Some people through careless OBJ
servation believe that the fork Of q
forest tree will gradually grow higher
from the ground. II they would in
vestigate 1t would be found that the
forks and heads" of fruit trees at at
exactly the same point where they
were when first noted.
The state forester in inspecting To-
Gust and catalpa groves throughout the
state, says the I,iiana Farmer, has
found owners who nave not removed
one part of the fork of those trees
that have formed forks below the fence
post length, believing that in years
the fork would grow up and a fence
post could be cut below the fork. This
erroneous belief is the cause Of much
of the delay and neglect Of pruning in
carly life of street and roadside trees
II should be remembered that the
base OF fork or a branch Of a tree
will always remain at the same dis
tance above the ground, The side
branches of some trees, such as the
elm, usually continue to grow upward,
while those of other trees, such as
the naples, incline upward when
young and as the tree grows older
the weight of the branches gradually
brings 1t to the horizontal, The latter
often makes the removal Of large
branches necessary, which not only
spolls the symmetry Of the tree, but
usually starts decay, which soon kills
the tree.
No street or roadside tree should be
permitted to form a fork below ten
feet and all of the side branches to the
same height should be removed so that
they will shade the adjacent crop less,
If this is done the tree In time will
grow saw log below the branches.

Corn and Making the Fellow who Works Sweat Some

a steamed bonemeal containing around
l per cent nitrogen and q to 80 per
cent phosphoric acid used at the rate
Of 100 to 200 pounds per acre.
Where the soil cotains plenty Of lime,
the use Of us to 200 pounds Of acid
phosphate Will bring as good or better
returns than will the steamed bone
meal.
On soils that lack both nitrogen
and phosphorus, which is the case with
most OF our level prairies and the more
worn timber lands, a complete iertil-
izer containing 2 or 3 per cent nitro
gen, s to 10 per cent available phos-
phoric acid and 3 or 3 per cent potash
is to be recommended. This snould
be applied at the rate OF 100 to 200
pounds per acre. The higher the
grade OF the fertilizer, that is the high
er the percents Of the ingredients
present, the less the rate Of application
may be.
It should be remembered in using
fertilizers that they will not MAINTAIN
soil fertility, especially when applied in
the amounts above suggested. One
cannot depend upon fertilizers alone,
The use Of fertilizers should be supple
mented by growing clover and COW
peas, by manuring and by practicing a
good system OF crop rotation. By

The Poultry Mite

Mites are the greatest poultry enemy
during the summer. They are small,
transparent insects that infest the poul-
try houses. When gorged with blood,
they appear red and are thus known as
the red mite. Frequently they occur
in large patches in cracks and dark
places about the buildings.
One rarely finds them Oh the fowls.
They remain in the house during the
dav and crawl on the fowls at night,
feeding by biting the skin and sucking
the blood. They breed best in dark,
damp places snd multiply very rapidly.
The Missouri College Of Agriculture
offers the following suggestions tor
preventing and eradicating mites.
The first step is to construct a poultry
house so that it has an abundance Of
light. There should be a liberal
amount Of ventilation so that the house
is perfectly dry. Windows should be
screened so that sparrows cannot bring
them from Infested quarters. Absolute
cleanliness will deprive them Of places
favorable for their breeding.
Application OF remidies should be
made to the house and roosting qlart-
ers. Scalding the roostS is not as el'
lective as disinlecting with some Of the
coal tar disiuiectants. Whltewashing
the house, painting the house with
creolin, or kerosene oil will keep down
the injection. Arranging the roosts so
that the mites are unable to crawl on
to them, setting the ends OF the roosts
| in oil cups, growing the roost so il
viii hold oil and patent roosts are
suggested remedies.
Light, dry, we'll ventilated quarters,
kept thoroughly clean and disinIected
weekly will keep them down. Close
watch should be made to find the frs'
few. 1t is much easier to eradicate
them then than it is after the infection
becomes serious. BY H L. Kemster
