LUCKY BEAN SAVED SAILOR
Providenoe Placed Tallsman In Hls
Hand Whom He Was Thrown un
conscious Among Cannibala.

OF all the many mysterious pro
ducts Of the ocean, none can compare
with the sea bean. Scientists are
divided as to its origin, as no one has
ever seen the shrub or vine ON which
1t grows, and it is never found save
when the bosom of the deep has been
rent by hard storm, when the sea-
beans, cast forth from some mysteri-
Gus depth are found scattered along
the beach, derelicts of the lido. There
are numerous varieties, large and
small, and some are very rare, espe-
cially the large, liver bean, and the
banded bean. The savage tribes
which inhabit the South Seas regard
them as almost sacred, and look upon
the lucky possessor Of one Of the rare
varieties as particularly favored BY
their possession these rare products
Of the deep, will fight for their treas
ure against all cOmers, as they believe
that the sea bean gives them unusual
power, especially in love, and that
any man on whom their affections are
set, must yield to their charms II they
but touch him with the lucky bean.
One touch of the bean binds their
lover to them forever.

SIL0 A MONEY MAKER.

Reasons For lts Use by All Interested
In Every Form of Live Stock
No other subject is receiving so much
attention from the experiment stations,
farm papers and farmers institutes as
the silo. All the great industries de-
pending on live stock are advocating
its use.
1t is a conservation subject Of great
importance, for with it can be saved
a large part Of our principal crop.
Nearly 40 per cent Of the food ele-
ments Of the corn crop of this country
is now 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.
In the past eleven years the great
stock industry of the United States
in comparison with our population, has
been showing a decline. This condition

"The Lowing of the Kline"

The dairy COW should not be required
to drink water that person would be
unwilling to drink himself.
A good tank heater for the cows

for the tank save feed and make more
milk.
After the first week Of sleeping and
resting the young calf should be al
lowed to exercise freely In the open
air in order to develop muscles, lungs
and heart.
A concrete floor is the only kind that
will insure perfect drainage for the
cheese making room. 1t will also help
to keep the curing room cool In hot
weather and warm in cold weather.
Be careful about feeding beet tops to
the cattle. Heavy feeding of this ma
terial is somewhat dangerous, as it
tends to purge animals. Feed in linn
tied quantities and with other feeds.
Probably no single cause tends more
to check milk secretion than the fail
ure to remove all the milk at the time
of milking. says Hoard's Dairyman.
The presence of even a little milk in
the ducts may act as powerful check
ON the secretion OF fresh milk.

has been brought about largely by the
rise in price of all kinds OF stock foods.
This in turn has driven many men out
of the stock business and discouraged
others from going in. With the silo
the cost of producing stock and stock
products can be greatly lowered. Ex-
periments have shown that by the use
of the silo in place of the old feeding
methods butter can be produced from
8 to 10 cents per pound cheaper and a
saving made on the production of beef
of from $1.5o to 81 per hundred pounds.

How 70 MAKE GAMMA BEDS
Do Not Plant For Many Varieties or
Colors.

Colors.
AS cannas are subtropical plants they
thrive only in warm weather and
should be planted only when the season
is we'll advanced. May 20 to June 15 is
best for the territory between latitudes
40 and 45. The plants are deep rooted,
therefore the bed should be dug deep.
1t also Is important to provide plenty
of plant food. Three inches of well
rotted manure spaded into the soil is
not too much. Do not elevate the cen
ter of the bed. but leave level so water
will not run off.
If the bed Ia to contain several va
rieties of cannas much care should be
given to the selection Of the varieties.
If the bed is to be viewed from all
sides put the taller varieties in the cen
ter and use the shorter kinds for the
border rows. Your florist can give ad-
vice about the varieties best suited for
the purpose.
Do not plant too many varieties. I'm

or three will be better than more. Fol
small beds dozen to eighteen plants
are enough. It is good taste to use
some other plant for border. If tall

kinds such plants as coleus, dwarf sal
