GRINDING GRAIN FOR STOCK
No Set RvIe Can Be Given, az Con.
ditons Vary-Soy Beans Are
Preferably Fed Soaked.

The Michigan experiment station
concludes, as rule, stock should
be allowed to do their own grinding,
as the saving in feed is taken up by
the cost of grinding. However, in
some cases grinding or soaking
should be resorted to. Barley should
not be fed whole and dry Soy beans
are preferably fed ground or soaked.
Then, when it is desirable to use
certain grains in mixtures with such
feeds as cottonseed meal, or bran,
middlings or other commercial ma
terials, grindings may be preferable.
So, we can come to no strict rule
about grinding grain for feeding.
Usually the margin Is close; In one
case farmer may lose by not. grind
ing; in another he may lose (the cost
of grinding) by grinding.

BACKYARD SWINGS.

A large tree with a spreading limb
twenty or twenty-five feet above the
ground makes the ideal support for
a swing, but in case there isn't tree
at hand, It is an easy matter for boy
to put up a substantial framework
such as is shown in Fig. 2, from which
to suspend 1t. Such a framework as
this should be built alongside Of a
fence or shed, so one of the side up
rights "a, Fig. p can be spiked Sc
curely to 1t. Then 1t is necessary to
brace only the opposite upright (B).
Two-by-four-inch stuff is heavy enough

Before putting up the uprights, the

REFUSE TO MEET STRANGERS
Peculiar Method Of Trading INDUCED
In by New Guinea Tribe Who
Keep to Themselves.

No European has ever been able to
meet in their own dwelling-place the
Kukuhuhus. a shy, yet ferocious tribe
Of New Guinea. Other tribes of the
country, while they have q great fear
of the Kukuhuhus, manage to do
bartering trade with them. They bring
salt, earthenware, dried fish, etc., and
deposit them in a certain indicated
place. They then retire for a few
hours, being notified to do so by a
curious cry from the distance. The
mountain jewellers then descend to
view the goods offered for sale. II
they want them they put down other
goods, such as skins, feathers, and
other jungle produce, next to those
articles wanted by them. Then they
retire in turn, and when the way
seems clear the coast jewellers ap-
proach again. If the latter are salts
fed with what is offered in exchange,
they take the goods put down by the
mountain people and 60 away; II not
satisfied they retire again as before
with empty hands.

Rising Sun, Ohio.-Mary Peoples is
a pretty miss who sleeps In a second
story front room of her fathers house
on Sandusky street. The weather was
sultry last night, and she retired with
her window wide open. Some time in
the night she awakened, and thought
she would lower the window sash, as
she felt draft. Noiselessly she slip
ped out of bed and pulled downward
on the sash. Before it reached the
bottom she found there was an OBJ

Realizing that some one was climbing
into her room she bore down hard and
screamed. She had the sash on the
fellows neck, but he had one hand
and arm inside the room and with this
he tried to trip her. But she held on,
bore down and screamed all the hard
er, and soon her father and brother
rushed into the room with a light.
Then Mary tainted. But the Peoples
men captured the intruder, who was a
Eegro, aged twenty-four, who gave his
name as Sam Waller. His object had
been burglary, and seeing the raised
window. followed the line of least re.

hands behind him with ropes. From
there a constable started with the

Floating Factories In India.


Floating factories have become an
important part of the development of
the forest resources of India In Ger.
tain parts of that country the forests
are only accessible through the water
courses, and the great expense OF
erecting land plants for the utilization
of the lumber resources makes such
course impracticable. Therefore,
sawmills and other manufacturing es.
Establishments are built on floating
platforms and moved up the streams
as they are needed. After the lumber
is prepared in a sawmill it can be
packed in a way that makes trans.
portation much more economical than
any system Of logging. Plants for
the preparation of tannin extracts
have also been established in this
manner. The plants are built on fat
boats, 200 feet long by q feet wide,
capable Of carrying load of 40 tons.

1.-THE Lawn in Landscape Art"

II the landscape gardener had but
one feature to work with, he would
most certainly choose the lawn. It
constitutes the solid foundation upon
which the ornaments Of the superstruc-
ture are imposed. Unobstructive in
itself, it is taken for granted by the
man in the street, and it's Importance,
aye, It's very presence, is overlooked.
The usefulness of a greensward in
making nature more beautiful and
restful is particularly impressed upon
the sojourner in hot or dry climates.
Take most of our own southern states
for instance, and in most localities it
is practically impossible to grow good
lawns. The long, hot, dry summers
and the impoverished soils discourage
the grass and the possessor of fine
lawn is the proudest person on the
street. Every weed is carefully re-
moved, the grass is kept short and is
rolled and watered with patience and
regularity.
Even then they cannot be sure of
lawn, and this Is one of the main rea-
sons for the high board fences of Dixie
Land. Most every yard has it's pro-
tecting fence, as much to hide the
nakedness of the soil as to keep out
trespassers. 1t takes fair shoulders
to wear low cut gowns and fences
prosper most where lawns are poor.
A yard without a lawn to finish it
off is as barren of beauty as a parlor
without rug or carpet. Other fea-
lures strike the vision more promi-
nently and really impress the observ-
er as being the chief beauty of the
scene, but take away the surround
ing lawn and the artistic effect will
be lowered much more than it would
be by the loss Of any other single
factor.
Any comparatively homogeneous
green turf will have the same effect,
and of course the smaller the scale of
the lot the finer and more carefully
finished the turf must be.
How is your lawn prospecting this
year? We trust that you did not for
get to spray the dandelions with sui
plate of iron before they went to
seed, because this was great year
for dandelions. and they produced
enough seed to last them through sew
en- lean years.
The plantain does not seem to be
as thick as last year. and it's a fine
time to cut out the few that remain
and get rid of them for good. Their
seed does not travel far, except via
the bird route.
II shere is low spot in the lawn
that you would like to raise, or a
high one that needs lowering, cut the
sod into two feet by one foot strips

MUST HAVE PROPER SLEEP
on This as Matter Of Highest
Importance.

The mother who has a child at
school may not be able to help him
with his lessons-for the modern sys-
tenn of teaching rather deprecates
home assistance, believe, but there
is one thing she can do for him which
will benefit him even more, and that Is
to see that he gets enough sleep.
1t is only lately that physicians
have been emphasizing the need Of
sleep for children insufficient sleep
affects the nerves, the temper, the d.
gestion, the mental quickness and
even the morals Of children. The
child who gets enough sleep is the one
who is bright and quick mentally, who
grows normally and we'll, who eats
properly and who is not peevish and
irritable.
An early supper and an early bed
time are the things for the school
child Then put him in we'll venti-
lated bedroom and let him have ten
or eleven full hours of slumber, and
he'll wake up bright and healthy and
good, too.
Many OF the little whining, nervous
children we see are simply suffering
from lack of sleep. Many small
naughtinesses simply come from tired
nerves and WEAKNESS of mind and
body. So many mothers notice such
difference in the Behavior of chill
dren once they have started to school
and are at a loss to understand the
reason It is because the daily nap
which the child took before he went
to school has been given up, but the
bedtime hour has not been changed.
Consequently the nerves Of the child
suffer.
Try giving the school child supper
at half-past five, nourishing and cas-
lily digested supper, too. Then at
eight, promptly pack him of to bed.
If he doesn't sleep let him sip a cup
of hot milk, and sit beside him until
he drowses off. Sleep is largely &C.
CURED habit and will be easily &C.
quired in few evenings. And, oh,
the difference it will make to the child

House Plants in Summer.


When the hot weather Of summer ia
at hand, we must not permit our out
of-door activities to cause US to neg
lect our house plants.
The best place for grown folks, chill
dren and all living things during the
summer is outdoors, where the sun.
shine and the fresh air can strengthen
and heal, making ready for the hsxt
winter season
OF course, the closer to natural con-
ditions they are during the normal
growing season, the better growth the
plants will secure AMI the finer plants
we will have for the house next win
ter.
When danger from late frosts has
surely passed, take less expensive
plants, the geranium, the foliage
plants and others of their kind, and
transplant them. Put them in good,
rich, deep, loamy beds II you can. or
in window boxes If the beds are una
valuable. Give them lots of sunshine,
so that the stalks and foliage will grow
rank and strong.
In transplanting, spade up the bed
to depth of at least foot, pulverize
the soil finely, mixing in fine, we'll
rotted stable manure, and set the
plants in the ground half an inch
deeper than they we're in the pots.
Pack the earth firmly about them after
setting. It will do no harm to remove
some Of the old earth, but the roots
cannot be pruned or broken off to any
great extent, unless you prune back
the foliage to an equal extent
Water the plants as soon as they
are set, and water them every other
day, at least doing the watering when
the sun is not hot
If it is desired to have the Towering
plants bloom early and profusely,
pinch off the ends of half the
branches, so that the energy of tho
plant will go to the flowers. Most
people prefer to postpone the bloom
ing period until winter, however, and
this can be- accomplished by pinching
off the flower buds during the sum-
mer, as soon as they appear. The re-
suit will be a heavy growth of stalk
and leaf during the growing season,
| and profuse blooms during the winter
indoors.
Tropical and semi-tropical plants,
such as palms, cacti and rubber plants,
| usually are too expensive to risk on
the lawn, and it is well to change the
earth in their pots and place them in
sunny position on the porch. Ferns
should have a cool, shady damp loca-
ton during the summer.
If your plants have to be kept in tho
house, water frequently and beware Of
plant lice and red spider. The former
attach themselves to the stems and
under the surface of the leaves. Spray
them with tobacco water. Plain wa.
ter sprayed on daily will help the
plant and drive the red spiders away
in very short length Of time.
