The Krew BANQUET.

feast and listen to an endless yarietg
of toasts and speeches, which seems
the prudent thing to do in order to

CERTAINLY DID THE WORK
Effective Form of Isolation, Though
1t Did Not Get Approval Of
Dogs Owner.

Here's one Of Walter Kelly's dog
stories. Walter doesn't vouch for it,
but it comes from a friend of his, so
it's probably all right, says the Cleve-
land Plain Dealer.
1t seems that Kelly left town on a
business trip some time ago, and left
his blue-ribbon dogs in the care of a
man who was supposed to know all
about dogs. In about a week this man
wrote that n of the dogs had devel-
oped symptoms that indicated mango,
and asked for instructions. Kelly
wired back as follows:
isolate dog at nee Take no
chances of mango spreading"
Sufficient instructions, and within
the ten-word limit. When the owner
got back home he asked the guardian
II the dog had really developed mango
The man looked surprised and answer
ed:
why, mol isolated him right away
like you said. But don't you worry;

The Englishman. as everyone

Independent, if not exclusive. He is
happy with his family in his country
mansion, where a high hedge insures
seclusion, and permits only the chin
neys of his house to be cen from

ment and conviviality. He prefers the
quiet and peace of the semi-rural SUI
burb to the whirl of the city. He does
not like to be within too easy access

and the train and trolley care are

IDLE FARM ACRES
ARE Improbable
Man Must Have Clean Sweep
Across Fields If He Is After
the Greatest Profit.
(By r. B. RUSHING)

-
In travelling over the country ! see
fields that are claimed to be worth
from $50 to 500 per acre, with a pile
of stones lying here and there and sew
eral scrawny, half-dead trees standing
about over this and and perhaps with
a swale running across.
Have you any such on your farm
that are not yielding a profit perhaps
scarcely paying taxes?
These acres are loafing, and What is
worse. not only loafing. but costing
the farmer hard earned money every
time he sends a man into the fields to
work. Time wasted in turning around
distractions is very great and time is
money these days.
With the modern machinery that
we want to use and to cultivate and
harvest our produce. a man must have
q clean sweep across the and If he
is after the greatest profit.
Often a few dollars would remove
these worthless piles Of stones. and
those old, half-dead trees which are
Just in the way. Then the land would
be available for use.
BY putting in an underdrain a
worthless swale may be transformed
into a fertile field. : Stones and trees
are all right in their places. but the
best place for the stones is in max
ing a dam at the lower end of some
low place to help catch the wash, and
the best place for the trees is in a
clump by themselves or very near the
fence and not scattered all over an
otherwise profitable field.
1t is a very common thing TO see
