Polka ORIGINALLY Bohemian.

The polka came originally from Bo-
hernia. where it has been danced by
the peasants from time immemorial.
Its introduction into fashionable So
ciety was due to Josef Neruda, who
saw a girl dancing it one Sunday
afternoon in the market place of Elbe-
leinitz, and noted down the melody
and steps.

IMPORTANCE OF CLEAN SEED
Corn Crop Of Country Has Been In
creased Millions Of Bushels by
Good Seed Selection.

No farmer can get any one to take
the same pains IN grading his seed
that he would himself. Some farmers
claim that 1t does not pay to clean
grain.
The corn crop OF this country has
been increased millions OF bushels by
intelligent seed selection. All other
grain crops can be improved by grad
ing the seed. 30 that only good. plump.
healthy grains, free from oil foul
weed seeds may be sown.
The tanning mill, judiciously used
will do much to increase the yield OF
every small grain crop and assist In
keeping our fields free from noxious
weeds.
II will take cookie out OF wheat,
buckthorn, plantain out OF clover, IN
fact, 1t can be adjusted so as TO han
die all kinds OF grain and weed seeds
II you decide that II pays to SOW
good seed and TO keep your fields
free from noxious weeds, then do not
hesitate to invest few dollars In
n tanning mill

COLD FRAMES MORE POPULAR
Great Many Gardeners Have Realized
II Is Profitable to Grow Some
Vegetables Under Sash.

Frames are used much more largely
In all parts of tho country than few
years ago notwithstanding the fact
that greenhouse construction has been
more active. A great many gardeners
have realized that IL pays to grow
some vegetables under 3x6-foot sash.
This makes 1t good bus!ness propo-
sltlon and when frames are used on a
large scale too much care cannot BIO
exercised In the preparation of the
soil. II should be fine. fairly level and
contain liberal amounts of sand and
humus. IL TO be used In the summer,
the cross-bars should be easily re-
moved so that wheel-hoes or horse cul-
tivators can be used without difficulty,
running from end. to end OF the long
frames. The sash should fit snugly on
tho side boards SO that as little cold
as possible will be admitted under the
sash. Lettuce and radishes are espe-
cially desirable for frame culture.

PROPER ATTENTION TO EWES
Severe Losses Result From Attempt
ing to Handle Early, Lambs
Without Accommodations

The flock owner who breeds his
ewes to lamb during the late winter
and early spring months should pro-
vide favorable conditions at the right
time. Severe losses result from at
tempting to handle early lambs with
out having adequate accommodations
to provide comfort for tie nock,
writes L. j. Merideth in Homestead.
The first essential to success In han
ding early lambs is comfortable and
we'll arranged sheep barn. 1t should
be well lighted, dry and properly ven-
tilated, and there must be plenty or
pens and facilities for caring for each
eve as soon as she shows evidence
of lambing.
We have found 1t desirable to keep
on hand an adequate supply OF light
partitions and managers for construct
ing pens for the ewes as fast as need
ed. In this way the flock can have the
run Of the whole sheep barn or it can
be quickly subdivided as the occasion
may demand. 1t will be found very
convenient to have a light manger
that can be made fast to the corner OF
each pen, so that roughage may be
| fed regularly without being trampled
under foot and made unpalatable.
Ewes should have plenty OF good
nutritious food during the winter, not
only to maintain a good flesh condi
ton, but to nourish the unborn lambs
Roughage alone is not enough. A
light ration of grain should be fec
regularly A proper mixture Of oats
barley, corn and peas will give gooc
results. For roughage, clover or alfai
IA hay and ensilage will furnish abou
the right proportions of bulk and sue
culence.

continued and, too, IL the beefeating
public is to secure it's regular quota at
prices below prohibitive levels.
The nation has in recent years
drawn too heavily upon the source of
fat beef output, without due regard to
the future of the supply. Farmers OF
the corn belt have been prone to look
to the west and southwest for their
supplies of feeding cattle, not realizing
that the increasing population is con-
stantly calling for greater home pro-
duction of fat beeves.
Time has arrived when the west, a
few years back the breeding ground
for the corn belt feeders, is no longer
able to supply feeding cattle to the
farmers Of Missouri, Iowa, Illinois,
Indiana and Ohio except at almost fat
steer prices. The situation is growing
more acute each year. Within the
past two years the effect Of home pro-
duction of beef steers in the states OF
the middle west has been a relatively
shorter supply Of beef than consump'
tive capacity required, and the results
have been higher average prices for
fat steers than realized in thirty years
past. But instead OF general prosper
ity IL has been prosperity for the few
because cattle raising and feeding has
declined.

WATCHED PUPPY MAKE MEAL
S long to the Class That Are
EternaIIy Crushing"

In New York there are several
stores which have open-air checking
of babies. The youngsters carriages
the youngsters within, are left on the
sidewalk in charge OF husky uniformed
men. while the mothers attend TO their
shopping
On a warm afternoon recently a
baby about a year old sat in its car
riage with glass feeding bottle,
awaiting the return OF its mamma
The infant wasn't hungry and amused
itself by playing with the bottle. But
its hand slipped and the bottle fell to
the sidewalk, smashing TO bits.
Just at this opportune moment a
small black pup, with floppy ears and
long tail, came ambling along the
street toward the store lie had bit
of black cotton around his neck as a
collar, from which dragged a lengthy
piece of pink cord.
He spied the milk, which formed an
attractive white pool in a hollow of
the sidewalk. He sprang forward and
in an instant a little pink tongue was
/ tapping up the baby's luncheOn.
Baby had shown signs of crying
when the bottle fell But with the
coming of the black pup the world be-
came sunshiny again. The youngster
leant to the edge of the carriage and
watched the pup with evident joy
now and then laughing aloud.
Baby and the pup made so appeal
ing a picture that three score men
and women stopped to watch the prog
ress Of the meal. The dogs instinct
kept him from touching the broker
glass. He Tapped up every atom o.
milk, to the laughter of the baby ant
the plaudits of the crowd. Then hs
sought the edge Of the sidewalk to 81
down and lick it's mouth, whereupoI
sixty men and women went on abou
their business.

HUNTING the Wren.

In the south Of Ireland the custom OF
hunting the wren" is practiced on st.
Stephens day, the day after Christ
mas. The wren-boys, also called Dro-
leens, go from house to house demand
ing contributions and carrying with
them one or more wrens in the midst
of holly bush decorated with bright
ribbons. They chant monotonously a
song, which begins:
The wren, the wren, the king of all
birds,
st. Stephens day was caught in the
furze.
Although he is little his family
great;
/ pray you, good landlady, give us a
treat"
One OF the traditions connected
with the killing of these little birds
is that Danish army would have been
surprised and destroyed by Irish
troops had not wren given the alarm
by pecking at some crumbs upon 9
drumhead. the remains of the sleeping
drummer's supper. which reused him
and he instantly beat to arms. This
would account for the Irish hatred o.
| the wren.
