Boy Scouts and Sawdust.

There will be a lot of people who
may have had but superficial inter
est in the Boy Scout movement who
will take a quite different view of the
movement when they hear that the
scouts out in Sheridan have assigned
themselves the work of scattering
sawdust on ice-covered sidewalks and
streets. Yet this is but one example
of the practical and useful things that
have been done by members of this
organization in many places. II is
characteristic of the motives and aims
Of the movement.
1t is just in little things like this
showing thoughtfulness and considera
ton for others, creating a habitua
readiness to put ones self out for the
comfort and convenience of the com
munity, that the great value of the
spirit of service. of neighborliness. o,
the scout movement lies. 1t instills
into the boys mutual good will and
responsibility which goes 10 the max

What Makes Us Yawn,

One man started to yawn and soon
everybody in the party followed the
suggestion. What makes us yawn?"
asked one yawner. And the doc
gave his explanation: THE yawn
is a spasmodic effort of the lungs to
correct imperfect aeration. 1t is a
good deal like this: If we are stupid
or sleepy, or listless, We fall into a
way of shallow inadequate breathing;
we do not sufficiently fill the lungs
with air. After a little period of
thus neglecting the full breathing func-
ton, the deep portions of the lungs
begin to rebel, they get congested and
force US to a special and spasmodic
opening of the lungs, in order that
the oxygen may rush in, to the very
depths. This is a yawn." If one
yawns. or mentions yawning, every
body else yawns. You have yawned
several times since you began to read
this paragraph. 1t is time to stop talk
ing about it.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
In the cotton-growing sections of the
South comparatively few cattle have
been kept. and they have not usually
been regarded as profitable. Yet it is
obviously to the farmers advantage to
he able to supply his family with an
abundance of dairy products, and, if
in addition, he raises calves that some
one will wish to buy he will find that
this can be done at little or no cost.
At the present time the United
States does not produce enough meat
to feed it's own people; in consequence
every calf worth feeding for beef can
be sold for a good price. Ordinary
cows, however, bred to a good bull
will produce calves that are worth
twice as much as those COWS bred to
any little scrub that may be near at
hand.
For good calf eight or nine months
old, men who make business of feed
ing cattle will pay from $40 to $50.
These men, however, will not put
themselves to the expense of hunt
ing for such animals; they will buy
only in neighborhoods where a num-
Der can be secured at one time. To
obtain the best results, therefore, it
is important that whole community
decide to improve its cattle. But where
a start has been made the rapidity
with which the idea spreads is re-
markable.
Although the average farmer can
not afford by himself the expense Of
a good bull to breed his cows to, the
organization Of bull club will enable
him to secure the services of one at
a comparatively low figure. For exam
pie, a good beef bull may cost $3.50.
Four of them would do for 200 cows,
so that If club be formed Of men
owning in the aggregate that number
each would have to pay three dollars
for each of his cows. The club may
be divided into four sections or
blocks" and a bull assigned to each,
the bulls being changed around at the
end of every two years. In this way,
If nothing goes wrong, 1t will be eight
years before new purchases are nee
essary. The old bulls can then be fat
tened and sold.
In such a plan 1t is obviously neces-
sary that the members decide to use
the same breed and keep to their de-
cision; otherwise at the end of a few
years they will have lot of cattle
not much better than the scrubs they
started with. Herefords, Aberdeen.
Angus, Shorthorn (Durham), Red Poll
or Devon all have their own qualities.

SECURE A SUITABLE SPRAYER
Any Owner Of Fruit Trees Can Pur-
chase Pump Adapted to Needs
Main Thing 10 Force.

There are hundreds of different
sprayers and spraying pump types on
the market. Any man from the one
who owns half a dozen fruit trees in
his back yard to the owner Of thou
sand acres of bearing trees can find a
sprayer suited to his needs. The main
thing is to get one that will throw the
liquid with force enough to drive it
into the crevices Of the bark and the
openings between the leaves. IL you
need more hose rods, towers and more
powerful pumps in order to do this,
why, then, It will pay you to get them.
And there is another thing. No man
pretends to know all there Is about
spraying. Every year some new dis
covery is made. Some of these just
about revolutionize spraying as to GER
tain insects or certain trees. The best
method in 1914 may be out of date by
the spring of 1915. The only thing to
do is to keep informed by reading and
by keeping in touch with the expert
ment station in your state. Every
little while some fellow brings out q
shorter and better way Of spraying
that saves a lot of time and money.
You want to keep up with these If you
can, for the whole science Of insect
fighting is changing fast.
The chemical companies that make
spraying compounds can help you keep

HINTS ON RAISING PEANUTS
Valuable Crop in South and Southwest
Overlooked by Many Farmers
Always in Demand.

Peanuts are a very valuable crop in
the Southwest and South, where the
soil is light and the climate friendly,
but a great many farmers do not seem
to know 1t.
The nuts can be raised more cheap
ly and more easily than corn and they
always bring a good price.
Both horses and cattle are fond OF
hay, and it makes excellent roughage.
Peanuts are one of the best crops
going for boys, because they seem to
take more interest in this than in any
other crop on the particularly If
they are allowed to have the proceeds,
which they should have.
The way to start is to get perfectly
good seed. The nuts should be
smooth, of good size, and free from
any blemish.
In Kansas and Missouri the seed
should be planted about the last of
April, but in Virginia they are often
planted earlier. Do not plant until the
ground has become warm.
Plant two seeds in hill, and make
the hills three feet apart, or they can
be planted in checkrows.
Keep the ground loose and mellow
with cultivator and hoe until the plant
begins to make little rootlike pods
which later develop into nuts. After
that all the work that is necessary is
enough to keep down the weeds.
In the South many growers cover
the bloom as soon as it develops, but

Study all your tree enemies and get
