Ancient Family.

Although most of the present-day de-
scendants Of the Huns are to be found
in Bulgaria, the premier family of the
Hungarian nobility-the Esterhazys-
claim lineai descent from Attila; and
the earliest Hungarian records, to
some extent bear out their claim.
They show no trace of their ancestry
in their appearance, for Attila was,
physically as well as morally, one Of
the most hideous characters in history,
while the Esterhazys are a conspicu-
ously handsome family. The biograph-
er of Prince Paul Esterhazy attributes
the improvement in physique to the
fact that for centuries past, owing to
their colossal wealth, the Esterhazys
have been able to select the most
beautiful women as their consorts.
Although considerably diminished,
their estates still comprise q county
seats, 60 market towns and 440 vii.
lagos. When Prince Nicholas Ester
hazy witnessed one of the famous
Holkham sheep shearings in England
he told Lord Leicester that he could
show on his estates as many shep-
herds as the earl could sheep.

PROFITABLE METHOD
OF HANDLING OATS
Cost of Threshing Is Saved When
Crop Is Handled as Hay
Animals Relish 1t.

It is often a matter Of wonder why
crop should handle it in any other
way than as hay. The cost OF thresh-
ing is saved by handling the crop in
this way, and all animals are fond of
it and thrive on it. While oats is not
so good on the soil as some of the
legumes, it fits well into the rotation
and makes one OF the best cereal hay
crops, says Western Farmer.
If it is intended to feed them from
the sheaf, they should be cut several
days earlier than when they are to
be threshed. The grain will be prac-
tically as good as later and the rest
OF the plant will be a good deal more
palatable and more digestible The
later cutting gives more woody
straw, and some loss from shattering
Of the grain. II one has plenty of
storage room the bundles can be piled
away under cover as soon as sufficient
ly cured. Or, If good job OF stack
Ing can be done oats will keep out
doors until the following spring with
very little loss with either grain or
straw. When oats are to be cut with
a mower, they should be cut earlier
than when they are to be bound into
sheaves. Just after the milk stage is
the best time in this case. 1t is neces-
sary to give moved oats room in the
barn, for it is difficult to stack them
SO they will keep. II 1t is attempted
to stack the oats hay outdoors, it
should be covered.
Horses and young colts find hay Of
this kind well suited to their needs,
and a number of leading cattle grow
ers have been using it for several
years and find it entirely satisfactory.
The cattlemen salt the hay in the
stacks and find that the cattle eat it
all and do well on it. 1t is also good
dairy feed, combining grain and rough
ness and furnishing variety in the ra-
ton

Good and evil balance in the scales

stars While Mercury is in a place
strongly benefic in its influence, Mars
rules stubbornly for evil. Neptune Is
slightly adverse and Jupiter rather IA

Finally, after 9 lot of effort and deter

first week in October than to hurry
the grain into the soil before it Is well
prepared for it's reception
None but good, plump seed should
be sown and the seed wheat that is
mixed with the cookie should be run
through tanning mill before it is
drilled
There seems to be a prevailing idea
that wheat will run out and that the
seed ought to be changed every few
years, but when we have a variety
that is doing we'll on our farm we
should be slow to make a change and
when we do it should be in a slow
way.
Many good farmers that know
have the same wheat that they had
ten years ago and it still continues
to produce satisfactory crops. But
these men have sown none but the
best seed and thoroughly cleaned ev-
cry peck that has been used in their
planting.
On some farms where there are two
or more types of soil it is often a
judicious plan to change seed from
one type Of coil to another. This also
applies to other small-grain crops.

THINGS WE OUGHT TO Do
But II Seems Impossible to Do All
Of Them and Get Anything
Else Done.

II We did everything we ought to
do. we should never get anything else
done. That does not mean that we
should never get anything done that
we ought not to do. 1t is not to be
taken as a plagiarism upon Satan
finds some mischief still for idle hands
to do" 1t means that we should new
er get any time for the things that
we like to do whether we ought to do
them or not. II we went to see all
the people we ought to go to see there
would be no time for people to come
to see us. If we read all the books
we ought to read we should never get
to look at the magazines or the fasci-
mating worthless novels. and should
never get half through the Ought to"
books at that. II we attended all the
meetings we ought to attend, the
pickles would not get made and the
ironing would not get done. This Is
question which has to do with wom-
en-, you see, because men never think
very much about what they ought and
what they ought not do. They just
do it anyway. If e'went without the
things we could not afford-but that
may be getting a little off the subject,
remarks the indianapolis News. If we
played checkers with our husbands
every evening we should have no time
for crocheting. If we busted the fur
niture and watered the porch boxes
and fed the chickens every morning
We should not have time for those
delightful back fence conversations.
If we pulled the threads and hemmed
our dust cloths by hand we should
have little time to dust. If we wrote
all our club papers out of our heads
instead Of out of other peoples books,
we should have no time or brains left
to help the children with their les
sons in the evening. Duty Is insati-
able. If we did everything she told
us to do, she would demand every
minute of our time and would still
be unsatisfied OF course, the best
way to get around her is to want to
do the things she wants us to do.
Then she can not interfere with US
and We can ignore and forget her
existence, doing exactly as we please
all the time.
