Husks of the ProdIaaI Son.

1t appears that the "husks" (siliquoe
In LATIN which were fed to swine In
the east and to which the prodigal son
was finally reduced were nothing more
nor less than the large, podlike fruit of
the carob tree, whose botanical name
is Ceratonia siliqua. This plant per-
tains to the pea family, and the husks
are sometimes nearly foot In length.
These husks contain very hard seeds
resembling beans, which may be eaten
with RELISH although one would soon
tire of them as sole article Of diet.
Occasionally these husks are to be
found In England and this country in
confectloners' shops. where they are
known az "St Johns bread"
In the east In the old days the plant
was regarded with disfavor, not be-
cause 1t was thought to be unpalatable,
but because Of its association with
swine. Together with the acorns of
species Of oak called Quercus aegilops,
1t served us tho principal food Of pigs
and hogs.-Every Week.

A Cure That FaItered.

Samuel L. Clemens used to relate
on the lecture platform a comedy Of
courtship that might well have served
TO illustrate his dictum that there are
three kinds of funny stories-the witty
story, which Is French; the comic
story, which is English, and the hu-
morous story, which Is American-and
that the latter is the only hard kind
to tell He recounted how young
swain was rejected simply because Of
his embarrassing impediment of speech,
and how a friend counseled his taking
the whistling cure-whenever he felt
disposition to stutter just whistle.
He tried 1t, and with such surprising
success that in n very few weeks he
sought his lady to announce his com
plete recovery. Unfortunately the ex-
element Of the occasion proved too
much. and those who have heard Mark
Twain Will recall how he would stand
trembling on the platform, earnestly
suffering out Of one side Of his mouth
and conscientiOusly whistling out Of
the other. until his audience fairly
grOveled In mirth.-Wasbington Star.

extremely democratic, and 1t was the
remark Of n workingman that first led
him to be so. Formerly he was very
reserved and was not often to be found
mixing among his people. One day,
however, lie granted private audience
to prominent workman. His majesty
discussed many subjects with his
guest, INCLUDING the latter's work in a
glass factory
AT last the king limited that he might
visit the factory himself one day, to
which the workman replied:
your people have been very long
time without seeing your face, sire
except on stamps"
The king did not say anything at the
time, but he thought the mans words
over very carefully, and henceforth no
Italians had cause for complaint that
his majesty kept himself aloof from
them In the seclusion of his palace.

Swiss Have Mercantile Navy.

Long before Germany was to be reck-
oned with as a sea power Switzerland
possessed IA fleet equipped for warfare.
Eight hundred years ago on all the
larger Swiss lakes armed galleys were
maintained by the rival cantons.
Skilled shipwrlghts had to be import
ed from Genoa for the construction Of
these vessels, some of which carried
crews Of 500 men. The largest Swiss
tlotllla was maintained on the lake Of
Geneva when the inhabitants of Ge-
neva were at war with Savoy. Since
the neutrality Of Switzerland has been
guaranteed by the powers there has
been no need for warships on the lakes.
The Swiss, however, possess mercan-
tile navy, which carries n considerable
amount of trade over the $40 miles of
navlgable waterways in the republic

Fertilizing Corn Land.

For the past several years the
l.. 5. U. Experiment Station has
been carrying on test to compare
the effect of the use of commercial
fertilizer in connection with a
clover crop and light application
OF stable manure plowed under in
the spring with commercial ferti-
lizer alone on the yield of corn.
The plots are located on sandy
bluff soil that is about is about on
the average with this class of soil
around Baton Rouge. The corn
on these plots has just been harvest
ed and, as the past season was
about on the average fo- a corn
crop in this section, the results of
this year will give a good compa-
rison between the two methods of
growing corn.
The yield of corn where clover
and stable manure were plowed
under before applying commercial
fertilizer was COL bushels per acre
The yield of corn on the plot where
commercial fertilizer alone was
used was III bushels per acre.
Leaving off the difference in the
cost of harvesting the corn, and
also the cost of the commercial
fertilizer as the same amount was
applied to both plots, and charg-
ing $500 per acre for the cost of
clover seed and planting, $500
for the cost of applying manure,
and putting the price of corn at
SOC per bushel there is not only a
profit of $3.50 per acre in favor
OF the clover crop and stable ma
nure with commercial fertilizer,
but the land is in a much better

Explanation Of Corn Score
Card

l. Uniformity of exhibit means
that the ears must be similar in
shape, size, and general appearance
If the ears have the same charac-
tiers they are given a perfect score,
whether these characters are good
or bad. The value of the charac-
tiers is scored in other headings
2. Shape of ear. The shape
should be that which characterizes
the variety, In general, the Shape
should be almost cylindrical, slight
ly tapering at the tip; rows should
be straight.
8. Length of ear. Measure the
length of ear from the extreme tip
to the extreme butt. The excess
and deficiency variations FROM the
standards are added and for every
inch thus obtained a cut of one
point is made.
4. Circumference of ear is mea-
sured one-third of the distance
from the butt to the tip. The ex-
cess and deficiency variations from
the standards are added, and for
every inch thus obtained a cut of
one-half point is made.
S. Tips of ears. The kernels
should extend completely over the
end of the cob and be of the same
size, shape indentation, and depth
as in the center of the ear.
6. Butts of ears. This part
should be we'll rounded and oval,
with medium size shank scar.
Rows of kernels should be straight
at time of vanishing.
7. Kernel uniformity. Remove
two kernels from near the center
of each ear and lay germ side up
with the chit end toward you. To
be perfect the kernels should be
similar in everv respect. Grad
ing here, as in uniformity of ex-
hibit, ought not to be too severe.
However. grains having an entire
ly different type from the prevail
ing ones should be scored one-half
point off.

The Care Of Cream

Cream and milk, as a human as
a human food, are valued largely
according to their degree of clean
illness and palatability. Just as
soon as cream or milk becomes
abnormal in flavor or odor, it loses
part of its commercial value. This
deterioration is caused by small
living plants or cells. called germs
MANY of which are absolutely harm
less in every respect so far the
human body is concerned, but,
when allowed to develop in cream,
may cause bad odors and favors.
Hence the Importance of using
such methods that will cause as
little germ life to develop in the
cream as possible.
Most germ life grows best at
body temperature. although many
kinds of germs thrive at tempera-
ture 70 F. Furthermore, as rule
those germs that grow at medium
temperature not only do not devel-
op as rapidly but usually are not
so injurious. The lower the tenn
perature, the fewer germs that
will develop during a given time.
By increasing the amount of fat
in the cream, the amount of water
is reduced, which also increases
the keeping power of the cream.
Summed up in brief the import
ant points to remember are:
/. Clean cows and mixers.
2. Clean utensils.
3. Separate Immediately after
milking.
4. Cool the cream by placing it
in tub or barrel of water, or, if
convenient, an ice box.
5. Sir the cream at least every
6 or 8 hours.
6. Do not mix fresh and old
cream;
7. Always keen the cream in a
clean, w.ll-ventilated room free
from odo-s of anv kind.
8. Market the cream as often
as is convenient in order to have
it reach the market In good condi-
tion. u. M. Cadwallader Louis
lana State University.
