FARMERS INSTITUTE

The Farmers Institute Of Great
Bend was not as well attended this
year as in some years because Of
outside attractions, but we believe
the program was above the aver
age. Not only were the inStruc-
tors from X. S. A. C good, but
everybody who failed to hear the
paper on Habits in Children" by
Mrs. L. NJ. Wilcox of Ellinwood
missed something good indeed.
We fully appreciate the help of
our old faithful members, but we
want to make special mention of
the yOung people who added so
much interest by their presence
and efforts. A splendid paper
was read by Miss Ada Howell on
the subject of School Lunches. /"
Another paper was read by Mr..
Thomas Taylor, on my Choice
In the Cattle Industry" This ex-
cellent paper which reflected both
a careful study of, and a wide
awake interest in the subject was
followed by an able discussion on
the part of Mr.. Harry Dahm.
The officers elected for the en-
suing year, are: ISom Wright,
President; Thomas Taylor, Secre-
tary, Harry Dahm, Treasurer.
In the Boys and Girls Contests
the rank stands as follows:

PREVENT SOFT-SHELLED EGGS
Fowls Should Be Given More Nourish-
Ing Rather Stimulating Diet
Avoid Spices In Mild Seasons.

Soft-shelled eggs frequently appear
among fowls in full lay, especially If
the birds are deprived Of shell-form-
ing material. Eggs are often pro-
duced at too rapid a rate to be COM
pletely coated with lime substance.
Soft-shelled eggs, IL dropped from
the roosts and broken. are liable to
produce the egg-eating habit among
the flock. Poultry-keepers should,
therefore, see that the fowls are well
supplied with ~shell-forming materials,
such as crushed oyster-shells, bone
dust or old mortar-rubble.
Should a fowl produce two eggs a
day and one of them is shelless, one
may conclude that the bird is over
stimulated and It's dietary should be
altered to n Of a less forcing ma
ture.
Spices used In mild seasons are IL
able to have an discriminating eff
feet upon the ovary and at the same
time debilitate the oviduct, with the
result that the latter organ fails to
perform its shell-producing function.
If fowls were more nationally treat
ed to a nourishing rather than a slim
ulating dietary and supplied with
shell-forming materials, soft-shelled
eggs would not appear SO often.

A Generals Baggage.

1t ma be laid down as a military
axiom that a generals ability is not
measured by the amount OF baggage
he takes to war.
1t is said that when General Sir
John French embarked to take com
mand Of the British forces now fight
ing with the French against the Ger
mans in northern France, all the bag
gaze he took was contained In a sim
gle suit case.
When Stonewall Jackson started U
on q campaign he took along no per
sonal baggage except a withered car
pet-bag Of ancient pattern. and even
this modest receptacle vas but half
filled. Both these generals bear dis
tinguished regulations as successful
leaders.
OContrariwise, when Napoleon III,
emperor of France, left Paris Id 1870
to take command of the armies which,
he said, were going straight to Berlin.
he took along As trunks, besides Q
most voluminous kitchen and bed
room equipage. The Germans got ev-
cry scrap Of it at Sedan.

pecoy Periseopes Used.

Such things exist as decoy peri
scopes-short lengths of pipe held up
right on a float and looking exactly
like the real periscope. The sub
marine sets them adrift for you TO
fnd-sometimes scatters several OF
them.
When one is sighted you cannot
stop to consider whether the little OBJ
ject dancing on the sea hall a mile or
so distant does or does not mean 1oS
pounds of high explosive coming
straight at you. Maybe you will see
al aeTopIane m-anenyering over 1T in
a way that carries conviction that 1t
does. You don't dare to TAKE n
chances and so o train all the guns
at 1t.
Then the real submarine sinks up
on the other side of the ship, n
with the swift rush of it's torpedo the
latest of sea tragedies comes to an
end.-Park Benjamin, in the New

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
1t is said to be true that the farmer
is generally at the mercy Of the tim
Der buyer when it comes to a ques-
ton Of disposing Of the products OF
the farm woodlot, or selling the tim
Der from land which should be
cleared. Farm economists have
stated that the average farmer knows
far less about the value Of his tim
Der crop than about any other asset
of the farm, and instances i'll which
timber spectators have tleeced the
farmer can be multiplied indefinitely.
h department Of agriculture Is
now gathering material which is in
tended to help the farmer tc market
his wood at a profit, and is particu-
larly seeking opportunities to bring
about cooperation among farmers so
that a whole community by selling
it's timber at one time may ecure a
better price and a better market than
by selling individually and without
a full consideration Of the value Of
their lumber.
An example Of what might be &C
complished is furnished by a farmer
living near Millersburg, Holmes coun-
ty, Ohio. He was offered $500 for the
timber in his woodlot. but refused to

AVOID DISEASES OF POULTRY
Cholera n Other Bowel Troubles
May Be Prevented by Giving Gin
ger and Soda in Milk.

Where milk is fed regularly t. the
chickens, a t~easpoonful of ginger and
sod added to each gallon every third
or fourth day will prevent cholera or
other bowel troubles. Stir the mix
ture until thoroughly dissolved, before
feeding. This is very easily prepared,
and will keep their digestive organs
toned and sweetened.
When %fattening fowls, skim-milk
should be used to mix the mash.
They like it better, and in this way
are induced to eat just as much more
as the milk, while serving as mois-
ture to wet the mash, is also a hearty
food.
The food for young ducks should be
mixed with milk, and curds made from
SOU milk are indispensable for young
turkeys.

Impossible for English.

Apropos of the English boycott upon
German music, relates the Washington
Star, DR.. Leopold Richter, the we'll
known conductor, said in Milwaukee:
The English, anyhow, don't care
very much for German music. The
English are too conventional. Your
English musician, your English actor,
your English author, he must always
be a gentleman Well, gentlemen are
rather limited, rather narrow. There
are SO many things gentlemen cant
do.

Strauss, was drilling the Covent gar

men. Don't play like gentlemen-play
like wild beasts"
