HATED TO PART WITH HER
Loving Father Naturally Distracted at
Giving Up Daughter But 1t
Had to Be.

1T amt everybody I'd trust my lit
tie gal to-" said old Farmer Skinner to
the love-lorn swain who had become
enamored of Miss Sally Skinner, and
wished to carry her from the loving
care and shelter of the home nest.
The little gal" who was feet
il inches high in her bare feet, as
she was at that moment, hid her
happy, blushing face on the dear,
fond old fathers shoulder and wept
happy tears as he said to Sally's deep
ly-moved and sympathetic young
lover: "You must take great care Of
my wee birding, Jack; ricollect that
she's been raised kind O. tender like.
Two acres a day is all I've asked
her to pillow, and an acre of corn a day
is all she's used to hoeing. She kin
do light work, such as making rail
fences and digging post-holes and
burning brush, and all that. but amt
used to regular farm work, and you
mustn't ask too much of her. It's
hard for her old dad to give his
little sunshine up. He'll have to split
his own firewood and dig his own
taters now, but go, birdie, and be
happy"

velop in the soil and thereby render

ton of from 500 to 1000 pounds OF
waste lime per acre will correct the
acidity and otherwise improve the soil.
Poultry as Food.
Although not as many varieties of
poultry are in common use in the
United States as in Europe, and al
though eggs form perhaps the most
important part of the total poultry
industry in the United States, enough
birds are raised and sold for their
flesh to make poultry an important
item in the list of foods, says the de.
partment of agriculture. Chickens
are, of course, far the most common
of the kinds of poultry Next come
turkeys; then ducks and geese, fol.
lowed by capons and squads, the other
varieties, such as guinea fowl, pleas
ants and quail being least common of
all.
In raising birds for the market spe-
cial fattening has not heretofore been
practiced in this country with any,
thing like the same frequency as in
Europe; but American breeders are
gradually coming to it more and more,
especially on the large poultry farms
which are springing up in many places.
The extreme methods used SO much
in France are not, however, consjd-
cred advantageous by most American
breeders
Live poultry is very commonly muir
keted, especially in the southern
states, where it is the custom to kill
a short time before cooking, but, con-
sidering the country as whole, it
is doubtless true that the dressed
birds are marketed more than the
live, and the buyer must depend
mainly on the appearance of the skin
and flesh to tell him how fresh the
bird is, and whether it has been prop
erly dry-plucked or plunged into boil
ing water to make the plucking cas-
Ter. In most cases, also, the age must
be determined by the pliability of the
I breastbone or, in duck and goose, of
the windpipe.
The methods of cooking poultry are
in general the same as those for other
kinds of meat. The tougher the bird
the more cooking will be needed to
make it tender and easily digested.
and the larger it is the more heat will
be required to cook it thoroughly.
As regards composition poultry does
not differ as much as is commonly
supposed from meat of other domestic
animals used for food. Individual
kinds and specimens, of course, vary
in the relative amounts of protein and
fat contained, and there are certain
fiavors in poultry which differ from
those in other meats. But these diff
ferences are so small that they are
practically negligible in ordinary diet.
Nor is there as much difference In
digestibility as is often stated. On
the average, poultry is somewhat more

Another Proof.

Representative Henry, whose objec-
ton to American girls marrying earls
and counts is well-known, said at a
recent dinner in Waco:
Take the Cinderella story. The
prince, you will remember, rejected
the two old and ugly sisters, and then
the beautiful Cinderella slipped on the
glass slipper and the young man made
her his BRIDE
Mr. Henry paused, then he added:
This story is but another proof that

1t is generally conceded that the
best soils for the production of sugar
beets are the sandy loans and the
clay loans. However, any good soil,
II properly handled, will produce salts
factory sugar beets, provided climatic
conditions are favorable, states Farm
ers' Bulletin 56S of the department of
agriculture. In general, more depends
upon the physical condition of the
soil than upon its strict classification.
Select the field for sugar beets with
reference to the quality of the sur
face and subsoil, conditions of drain
age and the fitness to follow the pre-
ceding crops. Pillow thoroughly and
deeply in the fall if possible Make
the seed bed firm below as we'll as
near the surface. Plant in the spring
as soon as the soil and weather cpndi-
tons are right. Use plenty of seed
to insure good stand, and do not
plant too deep. Hold the moisture in
contact with the seed by use of the
press wheel and rollers. Cultivate as

soon as the rows can be seen, but
do not throw the dirt over the beets.
Block and thin the beets just as soon
as they are large enough to handle.
Space with reference to the strength
and moisture-holding capacity of the
soil.
Rotate with other crops to improve
the soil condition and to eliminate
pests. Keep plenty of live stock to
utilize the beet tops and other feed
and supply stable manure. In har-
vesting the beets see that they are
all gathered, properly topped, and as
free as possible from dirt. Cover the
beets as soon as topped to prevent
evaporation, and utilize beet tops,
pulp and lime with view to improv-
ing soil conditions.
The by-products of the beet field
and sugar mill that are of particular
Importance to the farmer are the beet
tops, the pulp and the waste lime. If
properly handled, the beets form a
valuable asset for the beet grower,
and in considering the value of beet
crop they should be reckoned at their
real worth as a stock food. Many
farmers sell their tops at cash price
ranging from $3.50 to SIS per acre, in
. which case the grower is the loser
for the reason that the tops are of
greater value to him as stock food,
and if he allows the tops to leave his
farm he loses their manurial value,
consisting of a large part of mineral
plant food taken up by beets in the
process of growth, and also their
humus value, which results from re-
turning the tops to the soil in the
form of stable or barnyard manure.
The most economical way to handle
the tops is to gather them into piles
soon after they wilt and before
they become thoroughly dry. In this
condition they can be gathered with
much less loss than would be the case
if they were left scattered over the
ground until dried. After they have
cured in the piles they should be
hauled to the, feed yard, where they
should be fed in properly constructed
racks to avoid waste.
Beet pulp is an excellent stock food.
This by-product is the refuse that re-
mains after the beets have been
sliced and the sugar extracted. AS
stock food it may be used either as
green pulp, that is, just as it comes
from the mill, or it may be dried.
Waste lime is a by-product of the
sugar mill, which under certain con-
ditions is Of considerable value to the
farmer for correcting the acid condi-
ton of the soil. 1t is well known that
soil should be neutral or slightly
alkaline in order to produce the best
results. Lime has the ability to COM

Believed in DAYLIGHT Saving.

The late King Edward practiced day
light saving on lines similar to those
proposed in the daylight saving par
liamentary bill. For many years at
Sandringham he caused his clocks to,
be advanced 80 minutes during the
summer months, and in the last two.
years of his life he caused the same
rule to be observed at Windsor and
Balmoral, and said that he was favor
ably disposed towards the bill.

easily digested than beef and mutton.
but only very slightly. The difference
in digestibility between the various
kinds of poultry probably depends on
the amount of fat contained, the fatter
sorts being least easily digested. Ten
derness of fiber may have something
to do with both ease and thorough
ness of digestion, and, if so, young
birds are more easily digested than
old, and the less-used muscles of the
chicken, such as the breast, more so
than the much-used tissues of the legs.
Similarly, white-fieshed birds may
be more easily digested than dark
fieshed. because the fibers of their
flesh are less closely set; but this is
not fully proved. Indeed, very little
is positively known on this subject,
and that little seems to indicate that
the differences in thoroughness of di-
gestion are very slight, and that cook
ing has much more to do with the
digestibility of the birds than these
slight differences in composition and
texture.
