PAPER DISH'S DAY AT HAND
English Speaker at Sanitary Confer.
ence Says Germs Lurk in All
Crockery.

London.-The American paper cup
threatens to invade England, and with
it the paper plate and the paper tuzn,
bier. A speaker at the Blackpool sani-
tary conference sounded warning
against crockery.
The best washed dish, he said, re-
tains some germs. 1t is cleaner and
safer to burn the whole service after
each meal. This ruthless counsel
squares only too we'll with the necessi-
ties of present day housekeeping No
doubt much of the tension between
modern maid and mistress would go at
a stroke if broken dishes were no
LONGER q possible cause of it.

D0DDER IS WORST
WEED IN ALFALFA
Annual Parasitic Plant Starts
From Seed in Ground
Guard Against 1t.

w. S. Oswald of the Minnesota eX-
pertinent station says that in Western
states and in some of the European
countries, dodder is the worst weed
found in alfalfa fields. 1t is an annu-
al parasitic plant which starts from
the seed in the ground and develops
into a long, thread-like stem, winding
itself around the alfalfa plant and
sending parasitic roots or suckers into
the plant. 1t then lives on the nour-
ishment which should be used in de-
veloping the alfalfa plant.
Dodder has not yet secured strong
foothold in the alfalfa fields of this
state, probably because alfalfa has not
been raised for seed to any considera-
BILE extent. AS long as alfalfa is grown
only for hay. dodder should not be
come a very serious weed pest How
ever. as alfalfa will probably be grown
more and more for seed each year, eX-
IRENE care should be taken to secure
seed which is free from dodder and
to avoid the introduction of dOdder
into the states
There are two dOdder varieties com
mon in alfalfa fields. The small-seed
ed alfalfa dodder is not as bad as the
large-seeded variety, as the seed is
easily separated from that OF alfalfa.
The seed Of the large-seeded alfalfa
dodder is about the same size as al
falfa seed and it is almost impossible
to separate them.

Rules for ESTIMATING Hav.

Hay is often sold in the NOW or
stack and then the weight has to be
established. For this purpose 400
cubic feet of hay will vary according
to the quantity of the hay, time of
cutting and amount in the NOV. For
making an estimate multiply together
the length, breadth and height of the
NOW or stack in feet and divide tbs
product by 400. The quotient will be
the number of tons.

COMEDY OF THEIHOME
HUMOR THAT is VISIBLE ONLY
TO THE LOOKER-ON.
In Almost All Instances the One Who
Dominates Is the One Who Most
EmphaticalIy Claims to Be
Imposed Upon.

Housekeeping develops the humor.
Gus side of married life to an extent
unguessed at by those who merely
board. In boarding house or hotel
neither the husband nor the wife has
a chance to assert that the other is
absolute master or mistress OF the
Joint establishment. What is it, by
the way, which makes humanity SO
anxious to prove itself badly off? The
contention for supremacy in suffer
ing always seen between two persons
who are comparing woes or griev
ances is particularly conspicuous in the
home.
eff ever there was a man who was
master Of his own house, it is my hus'
band. He has everything just as he
wants it, without any regard to my
wishes pronounced the wife; but in
his own declaration Of his position he
is no whit behind the very chiefest
apostle.
my wife is the cock of the walk
in our joint he informs you, and with
an agreeable mixture of figures goes
on to tell how he is henpecked.
"The humor Of the situation appeals
to the bystander, at least, for any one
who has given attention to the mat
ter is fully aware that the men and
women who dominate are almost al
ways those who claim that they are
down-trOdden and imposed upon. The
story of the man who was chased
through the house by his wife with
the broomstick and finally took refuge
under the four-post bed Eliminates
this. After he had been lying perdu
for an hour or so he cautiously raised
the valance and peered out. His wife
stamped her foot.
"'Get back under theren she cried
but he asserted his rights.
"'While l have the spirit of a man.
he returned with all the dignity he
could muster in the circumstances, ]
will peek
One dares think after this that the
man who had been brought into such
subsection that he habitually spoke
of our hat was probably veritable
domestic tyrant and was clever
enough never to let his wife find it
out!
Although there is a theory that
men have more sense Of humor than
women, this may be questioned when
household conditions are considered
Does a man laugh at his own discom
future AS a woman does? How would
a man take the pleading of his wife
for something like father used tC
maker She has never tried it, but
his longing has become a byword
What Joy to the wife when he is hoist
by his own petard!
my dear, these pies don't taste as
mothers used to- complained nus

Can't you do something to improve

"'l'm afraid not, dear rejoined the
wife sweetly. She takes SO much
pleasure in making them for you that

you don't enjoy them as you once
didp

am very sure his wife would have

Robin Boys Riddles.
Continued from last week.

All day Robin Boy wondered a.
bout this riddle. 1t seemed so odd
to think of a face without any
eyes or mouth.
1t seemed almost night and he
had not yet found the thing, what
ever it was.
Mama was out and he was very
lonely. He wandered up and down
looking for the queer thing what
ever it was but it was nowhere to
be found.
He winked the tears of disap-
poimtment and loneliness out of
his eyes and sat down on the
lounge.
He felt very sleepy all of a sud-
den and Mary as she passed the
door looked i'm and found him
crumpled in a corner with his eyes
| closed.
The mex thing HE knew mama's
arm vas around him and some
thing heavy was hanging to his
buttonhole.
Robin looked around him in a
dazed sort of way and his hand
touched the strange thing which
was hanging to his buttonhole.
What was it. He looked ait it
%curiously. 1t was-yes it really
was a watch-a truly watch that
would tell time.
Sleep was gone from his eyes
now, and he Slipped from the
lounge and ran to show it to his
papa who was just coming in.
IT think this is the bestest OF
amy Of my Riddles" HE told mamma;
Baby May was nice but l couldn't
keep her you know"
