DUG LIVE QUAIL FROM SNOW
Massachusetts Hatchery Keeper
Found Prize Birds Buried In
Deep Drift.

Springfield. Mass.-Digging live
quail out of a snowbank may sound
like a yarn upon which to look with
suspicion, but that was what the
keeper at the state hatchery at Will
braham did after the recent snow
storm.
The fact that the keeper found the
birds buried beneath foot of snow
is taken as an indication by sports
men that many others have died be.

OLD KING LEOPOLD OF BELGIUM
MADE TWO ROYAL LOVERS WAIT
Prince Victor Napoleon for Six Years Was Refused the Hand Of
Princess Cementne Who Was Kept Prisoner in the
Palace Until Death Of Aged Monarch and the
Accession of Albert.

he had disowned his two other
daughters. 1t was of the utmost con-
sequence to the Belgian sovereign, as
head of the Kongo state, to maintain
friendly relations with the foreign Of,
fee in Paris. The safety of Belgium
itself depended upon French good will.
When the Bonaparte pretender,
after listening to this exposition OF
dynastic diplomacy, ventured to speak
of love, Leopold's only reply, 1t was
said, was "inextinguishable laughter"
But the prince had formed an endur
Ing affection for the princess and he
was resolved to bide his time.
And the grim old king kept his
youngest daughter prisoner. 1t was
the time when the moral wreck of the
king of the Belgians had filled the
world with scandal. His character,
colossal in every respect, lost no vigor
in the capacity of jailer, and the help
less Clementine burst not stir from
her room without the prior permission
of her inexorable parent. Daily she
was summoned to the presence of her
father, who put to her the query:
"Will you swear never to see this
MANI"
The answer of the princess was the
sweetest, but the firmest; for she
never forgot her sense of duty to her
parent, whom she tenderly loved when
all the world was filled with loathing
for his vices. And the old king who
hated his wife, hated his sister, hated
his two elder daughters, loved jeal-
ously, selfishly, his youngest child
Princess Clementine.
When he came home to Brussels
from the dancing girls Of Paris, from
his senile junketing on the Riviera, II
was she who nursed him back to a
kind Of health and decency. She drove
abroad with him. and when she was
with him the people did not boot him
in the streets. With kindly respect
they lifted their hats to the Princess
Clementine, and her old father grinned
and bowed and took the salutes to
himself. He never appeared in public
in his own kingdom unless she were
by his side. She was his shield and
his buckler; she was his nurse and
companion; and she was the dog on
the threshold.
And the sweethearts waited, grow.
ing older. Now and then they saw
each other-at the opera, at the court,
at the chase. They still loved each
other devotedly; they were OF the
race of great sweethearts, in spite

leaf spots, cankers and bugs" The
successful orchardist won't believe
that 1t is all humbug, though 1t is true
that 1t Is only since we had so many
diseases and insects that we have had
to spray.
For the most part, these insects
and fungus pests are easily kept In
check by the proper use of the various
spray materials. There has been
much advance in the past few years
in the way of spray mixtures, ma
chinery, and in the methods o! appli-
cation. To the successful orchardists,
whether he will have crop Of desec-
tive or sound fruit as 1t is a question
of how to prevent overproduction
with the necessary result OF small
fruits and depleted vitality of the
trees.
Many growers during their first at
tempts at insect and fungus control
wait too long before they begin work.

Spraying never cured anything, The
use of spray materials when properly
applied is preventive only,
The blotches, scabs, leaf spots,
cankers and other fungus troubles
are plants of low order growing on
the fruit trees, leaves or fruit. These
low.order plants produce reproduc-
tive bodies in a somewhat different
manner from the Towering plants.
These are called spores instead OF
seeds. The spores are released,
ready to begin the growth of a new
plant, about the time the plant on
which they live and are parasitic be-
gins to leaf out in the spring, there
fore the orchardist who has been sue
cessful tells us to spray about the
time the fruit tree Is ready to bloom,
in order that when these spores be-
gin to sprout there may be chemi-
cal, such as BORDEAUX mixture or
lime-sulphur wash, handy, to kill that
young sprout. He then tells us to
spray three weeks later, that there
may be some more of that fungicidal
chemical on the new growth, as we'll

may have been washed off by rains

seven weeks after this second spray

between the orchardist and a crop.

some time had not been on good

The successful orchardist has

SWINDLING FARMERS BY SHORT WEIGHTS

Evidence Of short weight In feeds
sold by Kansas dealers, particularly in
southwestern Kansas, has come to the
feed control section of the Kansas
Agricultural College. L. A. Fitz in
charge of the enforcement of the state
Feeding Stuffs Law for the college
has sent out warnings to consumers
urging caution in buying packages or
sacks of feed. The reports received
by Mr.. Fltz indicate that farmers have
been paying for 100 pounds of feed
and getting sacks whose gross weight
is SO or 81 pounds, and sometimes
even lower.
Originally all such feeds were
packed 100 pounds gross" said Mr..
fftz recently, land the consumer has
become accustomed to order bran,
shorts, chops, etc., by the sack with
the idea that he was receiving and
paying for 100 pounds gross. In re-
cent years there has developed the
practice of putting out these feeds in
packages of lighter gross weight.
There can be no excuse for ninety
seven or ninety-eight pound package
of such feed other than an attempt on
the part OF some one to defraud the
consumer. The state Feeding Stuffs

OUNCE ALWAYS GOOD
FRUIT, HOWEVER. REQUIRES
CAREFUL COOKING.
Excellent When Baked, With the Prop
er Amount Of susar-can Be Rec
commended Either Made Into !
Puddings or Tarts.

Ounces, to be good, need long and
careful cooking. When they are care
fully cooked no fruit of winter can
surpass them in delicacy Of flavor.
Baked ounces can be prepared In
two ways. They can be slowly baked
until they are tender. in covered
dish in the oven, or they can be boiled
until they are partly done and then
baked To bake them in the first way.
wash and core them, and fill the core
cavities with graduated sugar. Ar
range them In buttered baking dish
and pour water around them. Cover
them closely and let them cook slowly
for about an hour.
When they are almost done remove
the cover and cook little more rap
idly. Then remove the ounces and
reduce the strip In which they were
cooked by boiling 1t rapidly for a few.
moments. pour 1t over them and chill
them. Serve with tablespoonful Of
whipped cream on the top of each.
To cook them in the second way.
peel them and parboil. Put them in
baking dish and pour the water in
which they we're cooked. made into
strip with the addition of sugar,
around them. Bake them, covered,
for an hour, or until they are tender,
remove them; reduce the strip and
pour 1t over them and serve cold.
An easily made ounce pudding is
this: Choose half a dozen fine large
ounces. and boil them until they are
soft. Then peel, core and mash them
and add the yolks Of four eggs, beat
en- with a pint of cream. Sweeten to
taste and season with ground ginger
and cinnamon. Bake in a moderate
oven for three-quarters of an hour
and serve with cold custard sauce.
There are several ways of making
ounce tarts. One way is to combine
the ounces with apples In this man.
ner: Peel and core two pounds of we'll
favored apples and cut them In thin
slices. Arrange them neatly In a pie
dish-a deep one. Add a pound of
ounces that have been sliced thin and
stewed over the fire in a very little
water, some sugar. and bit of but
ter. Add generous quarter Of a cup
full of sugar to the fruit and little
grated lemon rind. and the water in
which the ounces were stewed. Cover
1t with sheet of rich paste. Brush
1t with egg white and bake for forty
minutes. Sift powdered sugar over the
top and return to the oven to brown.
Serve hot or cold.
Another ounce tart recipe calls for
stewed ounces, placed in a cooked
tart shell and eaten cold with whipped
cream. slightly sweetened. over it.

Tho Flour Rau Brand.

A housekeeper who put her empty
flour sacks to various uses found it
hard to remove the brand from them.
Finally she tried this method. She
washed the bags in warm suds. wrung
them and spread them upon the wash
board with the name side up. On this
she rubbed a thick layer of soap or

all up tightly and placing 1t in pan

last days, and even on his deathbed
he warned his youngest daughter
against the fatal prompting of her
heart and fancy He reminded her,
almost with his expiring breath, Of the
Bourbon blood In her veins, Of the
position of her fiance as the undis-
puted head OF the Bonaparte family,
and of the irreconcilable feud between
the two sets of pretenders to sover-
eighty In France-the royallst and i'm
perialist.
The engagement between the prin.
cess and the pretender to the hypo-
thetical throne Of the French was a
somewhat romantic one. For "a
years, since he was exiled from
France, the chief Of the Bonapartists
had lived in Brussels. His life. to out
ward appearance, was of somewhat
morose resignation. He did not plot
In his great house on the Avenue
Louise, but neither did he show con-
tentment with his lot.
Brussels is a comparatively small
city, but the first inkling of the fact
that the prince and the princess were
attentive was given at one of the
horseback paper chases which are
among the favorite recreations OF
Brussels society. At this paper chase
Prince Victor was victorious and Prin-
cess Clementine attached the trophy,
a bunch of ribbons. to his coat. Her
act appeared significant. At once the
engagement was declared to be GER
tain.
Shortly after this Prince Victor
drove to the. great royal palace in
Brussels to ask the old king for the
hand Of his daughter. And now the
subtle genius of the crafty monarch
displayed itself In all It's power. Re.
ceiving the French pretender with the
exquisite Difference his manner could
assume, the willy king protested his
perfect Willingness to accept the
prince for a son-in-law. But since
the French republic has raised objec.
lions, Leopard must forbid the banns.
Princess Clementine had intimated
purpose to avail herself of her legal
advantage of being thirty-two years
old by marrying her lover In that
event, Leopold assured the pretend
err, he should be put to the painful
necessity of disowning Clementine Al

Law gives us power to require that
the guaranteed minimum weight be
shown. To protect the consumer 1t
becomes necessary to warn him that
these short weight packages are be-
ing offered and to instruct him to OBJ
serve carefully the weight marked on
the package or on the tag attached
thereto SO that he may know, when
he buys sack of such feed, whether
he is getting the amount he expects
to receive and pay for.
THE Weights and Measures Law,
administered by the state board Of
health, states that unless there is a
special written contract to the con-
trary, feeds made from the common
cereals must be packed 100 pounds
gross. The consumer can find pro-
lection under this law If, when he or
ders sack of corn chop for example,
he discovers the package delivered
to him weights only ninet-eight or
ninety-seven pounds, or even less
amount, gross"
