FEW PRACTICAL FARM HINTS
Field That Will Grow Crop Of Strong
Weeds Will Likewise Produces
Crops That Are Profitable.

Did you e-er realize that the field

big strong weeds will likewise grow q

is rightly taken care Of? Weeds use
plant food just as much as corn or
small grain
The weed is the one crop that

the job from spring until fall and it
doesn't need much cultivation either.
Potatoes should never be handled
with iron forks or shovels. RI any
tools are used they should be made OF
wood, because the least abrasion of

Chinese Artist.

In the fourth century A. d. there
lived in China an artist, who was also
a poet. His name was Ku K'ai-chih.
In London there is a painting, a long
scroll, which for at least thousand
years has been treasured as his work;
and though that cannot be proved, it
is in all probability a painting by his
hand. One day, we are told. he in
trusted to friend a chest full of
paintings which he had collected. For
better security he fastened the lid of
the chest and sealed the fastening
with seal. The friend however
coveted the paintings. and hit on the
simple expedient of removing the
bottom of the box and so abstracting
them. When the box was restored to
Ku K'ai-chih. he broke the seal and
found 1t empty. But he suspected
no theft and expressed no surprise

cate with supernatural beings; they

immortals. Laurence Binyon, in the

HOW A GARDEN MOLE LIVES
Little Creatures Have Remarkable
Appetite, Feeding Entirely on
Earthworms, Grubs and Insects.


Moles feed entirely on earth worms,
burrowing grubs, and on insects, and
have remarkable appetite, together
with love, passion and hatred in en-
ergy and voracity.
They are built particularly strong,
full Of muscle, and have hand, spade
like. supplied with claws, making a
capital digging machine.
In observing a mole when put on
the ground after being caught, it will
Immediately plunge it's sharp snout in
the earth and give two or three fear
full strikes Of fore-paws enough to bury
most Of his body--the hind feet give
comical kick in the air and the mole
gets out of sight with a startling
quickness and find him if you can.
The mole hills which we see are not
homes but composed of material which
is worked over in forming temporary
passages looking after prey.
A mole's only true home, fortress or
kingdom, is located at distance from
the hunting grounds with which com
munication is kept up.
A mole will consume the weight Of
its body in a remarkably short time.
Snails and slugs it seizes from behind
before they know mole is after them.
Another wonderful thing is how soon
mole will succumb without food, as
a IL hours fast will result in death
for the little animal and all of its
family.
Therefore, the poor mole has to
work hard most of it's life for living,
and especially is this true in the win.
