John Smith,

John Smith was born to adven-- ture. While yet a boy he left his home in Lincolnshire, England. to en- gage in Holland wars. Later he went to fight the Turks. He was robbed while in France. While he was at sea he was thrown overheard, but he sWam to land. When he was in battle he was taken prisoner and sold as a slave, his head was shaved and his neck bound with an iron ring: he killed his master. arrayed himself in the dead mans garments. mounted a horse, and rode to a Russian camp.
 Having returned to England, he em- parked for the New World On the voyage he eXcites the jealousy ~e lis bellows and was landed in chains, but his worth became 50 apl..l-e..u that he is finally made president ot the colony.
 These and many other wonderful exploits he tells in book published after his return to England.
 However. his services were of un- questionable value to Virginia, and his disinterestedness appears from the fact that he never received a. foot of land in the colony his wisdom had saved.

It is common in some localities to grow crops and cut them green, bring ing them to the barn to be fed This system is practiced on high priced land and fences It incures uniform quality of feed and maintains the mlk flow better than pasturing-
 But how about the Summer Silo- Recently a bulletin by the Wisconsin Experiment. Station published the re- suits of an experiment in which green crops were compared with corn silage It was found that corn silage was superior to all of them in supplying dry matter and it produced a pound of butter cheaper than any of the crops tried. Last year the writer con- ducted q similar experiment in Ne braska- Peas and oats, rape, cane, green corn and alfalfa were tried. Alfalfa was superior to the other for age crops, but silage was far superior to them all.
 It is not too late now to erect d summer silo for next year It must be filled this fall. This silo should be smaller than the winter silo be- cause silage spoils faster. in summer and more must be removed from the top daily.

In tine state of Massachusetts there once lived g very remarkable man ssamed Thoreau. He became So deeply interested in the animal world that he built a little hut for himself near Walden pond and there he lived with the animals and birds for more than two years.
 The snakes would wind around his legs, the squirrels would climb on him and put their heads in his pockets, the fish knew him and. would let him lift them out of the water, and the little wood mice would come and nib- ble at the cheese he held in his hand. It was Thoreau's. love for the little wild creatures which drew them to him, for animals are responsive to love as are human beings.

From the Record.
There is quite contest on between
two patrons of the Creamery, one
with a herd of Jerseys and the other
with herd of Holsteins, both parties
at present milking seventeen or
eighteen cows and so far the Holsteins
have the best of the argument for this
year with nearly $50 with one COW
less in the herd. The contest is in
teresting not only to the men directly
concerned but to other patrons as it
will be reasonably fair test as to
the producing qualities of the two
breeds of cattle. Both men are tax
ing the best of care of their herds,
scientific feeding and all and when
the contest is over it will be interest
ing to note the difference in produc-
ton and the cost of feed of the two
herds.
The right of way in front of the
| Erickson-Selland block has been
plowed up, will be disked and then
graded for the park the T. and C..
Club has taken over from the village
and before very long that strip of
ground will be beauty spot instead
of an eye, sore. Also some of these
fine evenings if the roads dry up
enough and stay dry for one evening
the club will divide up into squads
and there won't be a loose rock or
stone or stick left on the streets.
Civic pride applied in proper manner
is sure going to make difference in
the appearance of this old town.

For several years the big hotels

dish washing machines. You see men
usually do the work there and when
men find hard work they try to, and
do usually, find machine to do it.
I presume it will be claimed by some
that because woman suffrage has COM

the wife made political speeches that
has finally developed effective dish
washing machine for small or large
families, but be that as it may, am
glad we have them at last and that
woman is no longer compelled to spend
couple of hours in the kitchen after
each meal washing and drying the
dishes because some of these little
machines both wash and dry without
breaking, nicking or cracking single
dish or glass, and that's better than
any man could do anyway.
The freless cooker saves a tremen-
dous amount of work as well as fuel
and food. A water supply and waste
pipes also are most excellent labor
saving devices for the household, but

chimes that are going to be the great

these is a keen business instinct which

important one in the business of state
management.
Mr.. Smith is not a fanactic, does
not seek to revolutionize the entire
state government, and he has no priv
vate interests to further by legisla-
ton. His presence in the senate would
mean that the state would be able
to count on one more man of good
sound judgment, perfectly safe and
sane on all issues and a man to be
reckoned with and counted on.

HOUSEHOLD DRUDGERY.

IPRESUME that if you were to ask
the average farmer of today to go
back to the methods of farming and
do his farm work as it was done so
years ago he would laugh at you. 1t
was common thing so years ago for
the farmer to draw all of the water
for his stock from a well, either by
hand or with the help of windlass
or oldfashioned sweep. have painful
personal recollection of this kind of
work during the long winters of Min
nesota. Also of all of the hay being
cut with scythes; the wheat, oats, bar
ley and rye harvested with cradles
and have even helped with fail in
the threshing of the grain. The best
inventive talent has been devoted to
Tightening the burdens of the farm
and thus enabling one man to pro-
duce more than was formerly pro-
duced by three.
The farmer finds that he must have
all of the latest and best labor saving
devices and l agree with most heart
lily, but what about the homework
Not only on the farm but in nearly
all the homes of working people, the
modern kitchen range is about the
only advantage the housewife has over
her grandmother's method of doing
the household drudgery. True, she
doesn't save all the scraps of fat and
make her own soap like grandmother
did, neither does she weave the cloth
for the homespun clothes of her child
rem, but she scrubs the kitchen, rubs
the clothes on the wash board and
what ] believe is the hardest, most
frequently necessary and most dread
ed work of the household, washing
and drying the dishes. Three times
day for 365 days for so years dish
washing has been the appalling SEN
tence imposed upon the bride who
celebrates her golden wedding. The
worst feature of the burden has
seemed to be that it grew heavier
instead of lighter because many
more dishes are used nowadays than
were used so years ago.
It's only during the last ten or fif-
teen years that the inventors have
seemed to wake up to the situation
and we now have just as good and eff
fective labor saving machinery for the
household as we do for the farmer.
On the up-to-date farm there is now a
gas engine which is used in connec-
ton with a storage battery system for
lighting and through this power. the
housewife who keeps up her end with
the modern farmer, has an electric
vacuum cleaner which does away with
the sweeping and carpet beating be-
sides keeps her home much more sani-
tary than broom ever could. On
wash day she simply pushes button
connected with an electric washing
machine and In twenty minutes all
of the rubbing of a big batch of
clothes is done and while these are
being wrung through the electric
wringer after rinsing, the washer is
