SUFFERER is TO BE PITIED
Nervousness and inability to Put
Thoughts Quickly Into Speech
Responsible for Habit.

Nervousness and inability to put the
thoughts quickly enough into speech
are largely responsible for the stutter-
ing habit and any child who shows a
tendency to stutter should be dealt
with patiently in order to discover
whether it is merely habit to be
overcome or a more serious affection.
due to lack Of coordination between
the muscles OF the diaphragm and
ribs where one Is trying to breathe
while others are endeavoring to arti-
culate.
Teach a child to enunciate slowly
and to think what he wants to say be-
fore he tries to say it. Do not startle
him by ridicule or sudden Interrupt
ton. Make him start fresh when he
gets twisted up and frightened at his
inability to get out what he is trying
to say, The knowledge that one has
difficulty In pronouncing certain words
often produces the very suffering
that one tries to avoid.
1t Is tremendous modification to a
child and a serious drawback In every
profession in later life, SO that the
confirmed stutterer is as much to be
pitied as any other sufferer from In
trinity, for 1t really is that. 1t usu-
ally develops In early childhood, prob
ably from some nervous shock or fear
when the youngster is In run down
condition.

Famous Greek Dishes.

Smyrna under Turkish misrule has
been In serious danger Of getting silted
up and left far inland, like ancient
Ephesus This would be doubly dis
astrous for the Greeks, who form the
vast majority of Smyrna's population,
because they might thereby be de-

favorite delicacy, cuttlefish. The blood
curdling curse called down by the
chorus in the "Acharnians" upon "the
meanest Of poets and meanest of
men," that dainty dish of octopus,
for which he had been eagerly wait
ing, might be snatched from him by a
dog, would be as quickly appreciated
by modern Smyrniote Greeks as by
the original audience Of Aristophanes.
When we'll beaten to make the fish
tender before being dressed, and then
cut into small pieces and served with
a savory brown stew, cuttleflsh

Value Of Slate,

Slate has long been recognized as
most valuable roofing material, not
only for it's wearing qualities, due
to the fact that it Is non-absorbent
stone and therefore does not admit
the factors of decay, but also because
of its architectural value in lending
itself to the development Of various
and attractive color schemes, says the
Cleveland Plain Dealer. Nature did
not handicap slate beds by forming all
Of them in one color. Here it is Law
ished red, there unfading green or
purple and yonder the coal black OF
rustic gray.
OF late the public agitation over
the matter of fire prevention, brought
forcibly home by such stupendous
losses as we have suffered in the con-
tlagrations at San Francisco, Chi
cago, Chelsea and Salem, has brought
emphasis on the fireproof qualities OF
slate. All over fire chiefs are calling:
Give us fireproof roofs and the con-
tiagrational hazard will be reduced
to a minimum" When building codes
heed their cry slate roofs will help
solve the fire problem.

(BY III VAN NORMAND

(By II. VAN NORMAN)
Profit is the difference between cost
Of production and the selling price.
To insure the largest profit in milk
production, the COW owner must know
that each COW in the herd Is produc-
ing enough milk to pay for feed, labor,
interest, taxes and depreciation, and
then leave some for profit. In one
herd, eleven cows produced $500
worth of butterfat above feed cost,
while four others ate $40 worth of feed
more than the returns for their butter
fat paid for SO that the whole fifteen
only averaged SIS each above cost of
feed. While, if the man had had only
the best eleven, he would have had
500 more money, saved the feed and
the labor of handling. The only GER
tain way in which these "robber' cows
can be located is by yearly records of
milk production. No man has yet
been found who can guess accurately
on every cow in herd. Records may
be made by the owner, or by several
joining together in COW test associa-
ton, and employing a man to do the
work.
Having located the Improbable
cows, and eliminated them, their
places can be filled in few cases by
purchase. The prices are getting
high. The best way is through the
purchase of pure-bred sire from a
profitable cow, and the saving of his
daughters out of the best cows in the

LITTLE HELPS FOR
A THRIFTY FARMER
Get Moving Machine in Order
Before Haying Commences
Don't PIoW Too Early.

One of the best things you can do
to make the moving machine work
better is to take off the guards, if
they are somewhat worn, and grind
them along the edge that comes next
to the sections. 1t is quite a job,
but it pays well. Take a day before
haying time really commences, SO the
work may not be delayed.
Look out for any weak or broken
places in the hay rigging. 1t is no
fun and it may be really dangerous
to have a breakdown with a load of
hay on Look after this now while
other work is not pressing. 1t is the
neglected stitch that splits the gar
ment.
It's big mistake to plow when the
ground shows up slick and oozy, as it
leaves the moldboard Too wet, and
that means clods and impairment of
the texture of the soil. We are all
too eager to turn the ground over as
soon as the spring days come, but
little patience and good sense will
save trouble later and add to the bulk
of the crops.

.BLANCHING CELERY
is VERY IMPORTANT
Big Growers Follow Practically
the Same Methods-AppIy
Manure Every Season.

Under good conditions celery plants
grow very rapidly. Soon after the
plants are we'll started they should be
given a light application of nitrate of
soda and another about two weeks
later; this is all they will need until
they have reached the proper growth.
Celery is blanched in several ways,
but the best practice for the farm is
to place the plants in trench about
twelve inches deep, twelve inches wide,
The plants are taken up with spad
Ing fork, the roots trimmed off square
and all faulty stalks should be re-
moved from the outside of the bunch.
Place the plants four in row and
pack little damp soil around the
roots. After the plants have been
placed in the trench, place a 12-inch
board on each side of the plants and
draw the tops slightly together. A
board placed on top will make a COW
ering which will protect the plants
until hard, freezing weather, when lit
ter and earth must be thrown over the
trench to prevent them from freezing.
The slightest touch with frost will
ruin them. If celery Is to be marketed
late in the winter it should be placed
in a hotbed or in earth in the cellar,
or in a storage house.
The big celery growers follow the
same method except that after the
plants are placed in the trench with
the boards on either side of the rows,
which are gradually withdrawn until
the trench is nearly filled, leaving the
tops above the surface. Then little
straw is placed over the tops and held
down by an occasional shovelful of
earth, and this is added to as weather
becomes colder.
Some growers blanch their celery by
placing over the plants a section Of
drain tile and covering up the top
with coarse cloth or litter.
Blanching Is really very important
part of producing good celery be-
cause, unless the plants are white,
firm and tender they are not unpala-
table for the farmers family, but are
of course unstable.
Excluding the light induces a solid
growth in the heart of the plant, and
this growth Is very rapid. 1t also
turns plant from green to pure white.
Persons contemplating growing celery
for market should not attempt to do so
until they have visited one of the large
commercial celery gardens and
learned from observation exactly how
the work Of seeding, transplanting,
cultivating and marketing is done. But
the farmer who simply desires to grow
enough celery for his family use may,
II he follows instructions. grow good
crops, always provided that his soil is
very rich and we'll drained.
The application of manure should be
made every season, no matter how
rich the soil is, because celery will not
grow we'll on impoverished soil.

Tobacco and the War.

Much as the man in the trenches
would like to smoke, he cannot smoke
nearly so many cigars and cigarettes
as he would at home. War has cut
down very heavily the tobacco bill OF
all Europe.
Uncle Sam is one of the biggest to.
bacco statesmen on earth, but since
the fighting began our sales of the
weed have fallen quarter. Measured
by our exports, the soldiers at the
front are saving $4,000 day on
American tobacco alone.
In the grand economy of things this
reduction of the smoke bill weighs but
a trifle against the destruction else.

FOURTEEN TOWNS

Turk Island In Aegean Sea-
Austrians Mob italians
at Trieste.

Geneva, May 31.-The Italians are
continuing their advance into Ca
rinthia. They have taken three of the
lower mountain passes and fourteen
villages.
The Italian army which is driving
toward Trieste has occupied the Aus
trian port city of Grade, on the Gulf
of Trieste, only rs miles from Trieste,
it is officially given out by the Italian
war office at Rome.
A squadron of Italian aeroplanes,
that crossed the northern end of the
Adriatic sea, successfully bombarded
the Trieste.Nebresina railway on the
night of May 1921, destroying part of
the line and seriously gripping troop
and supply movements of the Aus
TRANS.
Violent artillery duels are in prog
ress among the Alpine mountains on
the Tyrol and Trentino boundaries.
The Italian army OF occupation be-
tween the Idria and IsonZo rivers is
increasing the extent of captured Aus
trian territory. Many prisoners have
been taken, and at some points the
inhabitants received the invading Ital-
ians with cordial expressions Of fra.
ternity
The detailed report of the com
mander of the Italian destroyer Zaf-
fire. which bombarded Porto Buso on
the Gulf of Trieste, SAYS that the de-
stroyer entered the port unseen and
destroyed the barracks and steamship
landing Lieutenant Marck, comman-
der of the garrison hoisted the white
flag and surrendered with his men.
Italy has begun the transportation
of troops to take part In the forcing
of the Dardanelles, according to dis
patches reaching London. Although
no declaration Of war has been issued
against the Turks, 10000 Italian
troops have been landed on the Island
OF Rhodes, In the Aegean sea, to
use that position as base from which
to aid the allies on the Gallipoli PENN
sula.
Austrian mobs In Trieste have
wrecked the Italian shops and houses
Many Italians were victims OF the
mobs violence. The authorities are
reported to have fed the Town.

herd. Each community should adopt
one breed and all buy sires Of the
same breed In a short time the
grade surplus stock will command
from $40 to $50 apiece above the
common scrub stock, because of the
large amount of it to be found in one
community and the reputation they
will acquire for breeding that one
class of stock.
Profits can usually be increased by
better feeding. Each cow must have
enough food-first, to maintain her
self; second, with which to make the
milk she yields, and any surplus above
this is stored up in the form of fat
to be used later when she doesn't get
enough food. The COW that has the
ability to produce forty pounds of
milk a day, and is only fed enough to
make twenty-five or thirty pounds
day, does not make milk as cheap as
she would when fed to her capacity.
In the judgment of the writer, the
dairy COW that has the ability to make
thirty pounds of milk day. or better,
cannot eat enough alfalfa hay to
enable her to do her best work, and
she should be fed some form Of grain
or by-product concentrate low in pro-
tein to supplement the alfalfa hay
eaten. Every COW must have enough
feed. The feed she does eat must con-
tain the minimum amount of protein
required for her maintenance and for
production of milk.

West, leaving in his brothers care q

All the way out he worried about the
bird, and at Chicago he sent his broth
