INCREASE THE WHEAT YIELD
Intensive Farming Means the UtiIiza-
ton of the Plant Crop to the Very
Highest Advantage.

Intensive cultivation means making
the soil produce more than the aver
age. 1t is easily possible to make an
acre of ground produce two, three and
even four and five times as large a
crop of plants as it grew under aver
age, common methods. But intensive
farming implies acre than this. 1t
means not only making the acre pro-
duce more, but it is also utilizing the
total plant crop to the highest advan-
tage, or in other words, selling it in
some way so as to make it bring a
much higher market price. A farmer
who could take a field that had been
producing 20 bushels of wheat to the
acre, say, and through better meth
DDS increase the yield to 40 bushels
TO the acre would be considered an
expert wheat grower and a very good
farmer. Wheat at a dolrT bushel
from the former yield would bring $40
to the acre while at the latter yield it
would bring $40, twice as much cash
and more than twice as much net
profit, as the cost Of growing and har-
vesting a large acreage crop is but
little more than for small yield

BUILDING UP CHICKEN FLOCK
How Selection and Breeding Count Is
Shown by Results of Experiments
at Missouri Station.

That a flock of hens can be bred and
selected to higher average produc-
.tion in much the same manner as a
herd CT dairy COWS may be graded up
Is abundantly proven by results at the
Missouri state poultry experiment sta
ton. The fourth generation of chick
ems since this station was established
was Matched there last spring. During
the first year pen of Buff Leghorn
pullets were trap-nested and averaged
from ninety to one hundred eggs each.
The best layers from this pen were
selected for next years breeders and
mated to a cockerel from the best lay
ing hen. Each year since the best
layers and the best cockerels have
been kept and bred from. The result
has been that by last year a pen of
ten pullets was developed that aver
aged nearly two hundred eggs for the
year. One of the ten pullets layed PIT
eggs and in the present year 6 pullet
was developed which began to lay
when four months and five days old,
the first to lay out of over six thou
sand chickens reared on the station
farm this year. Careful selection and
mating was the cause of this doubled
production. as practically the same
line of breeding was followed

SEEMS LIKE SENSIBLE IDEA
Woman Says Time to Take Wedding
Trip Is Before Contemplated
Marriage.

People laugh when they say that
the best time to take wedding jour
ney is before the wedding" said a
New York woman, according to the
Sun OF that city, but there never was
truer thing said, and divorces would
be much less frequent If that were
the custom, with certain limitations.
OF course. 1 proved it conclusively
during the last summer.
IN June last young woman whom
l have known since childhood asked
me- If she could join me in a six
months trip my husband and | were
about to take overseas. 1 was glad
enough to have her with me, for she
is not a young girl, and she has money
enough to travel properly. Three or
four days before we started she asked
me If would object to a certain man
making the fourth of the party.
He was very nice sort, also with
money enough, and as they had been
so attentive to each other for a year
that their friends had concluded they
were sure to marry before a great
while, l added him gladly, as did my
husband Well, we got away in good
style on a ship bound for Spain, where
we spent the first month, and | was
as happy as could be.
"On the fourth day out the girl came
into my stateroom, and, to my aston
ishment, put her head on my shoul-
der and began to cry. / was fright
ened and wanted to know what was
wrong, and between sobs she told me
the man she had thought was so nice
was getting on her nerves SO that she
simply couldn't stand it and had to
tell somebody or jump overheard.
Her previous association had been
of the usual kind incidental to the &C.
quaintance of two unmarried persons.
and, while he was very nice that way,
having him around all the time was
simply awful, she said, and | must
help her out of it. OF course that was
easy enough, for as before l had been
keeping myself out of their way. Now
did all l could to keep in their way
and it saved the girls life till we
reached land.
After that it was a little easier and
by and by the man, being sensible
fellow, made it convenient to quit our
party good friends and went to Paris.
I'm sure. and so is the girl, that if they
had not gone on the trip they would
have married, and then anybody can
imagine what the result would have
been.
Theirs was a nonwedding journey,
Yes, the war stopped our trip and we
came home in August. He met her
at the boat, but no longer as her pos
sible husband"

days work is over; that beaux and
laughter are all they think of or care
for
Never was greater mistake made.
while a large majority of them, in
their youth and exuberance of gay
spirits, seek to throw off dull care,
there are quite as many refined young
women among the toilers who do not
care for such amusements. They at
tend the free libraries to read maya
zines and best books. Lectures by
good orators are dear to their hearts.
az are the best dramas. Their purse
says mol" Where is pleasure to be
found for such refined natures?
While the philanthropists are pro-
viding dance halls for some of the
girls why don't they give others the
chance of attending a course of free
lectures in congenial surroundings or
the opportunity of seeing a first-class
drama by celebrated artists without
cost few times during the season?
1t would open peoples eyes and hearts
as well if they could have talks with
the shop girls of whose lives and in
telests they know so little.
One young girl / know of, whose
daily task was to sell whisk brooms
and dust cloths behind the counter.
RECALLED herself during leisure mo-
ments and after business hours by
studying Shakespeare Another was
an amateur portrait painter Her work
was surprisingly clever. One craved
to invent something which would be
a boon to humanity and bring sub
stantial returns. The dream of an
other was to become a poetess Her
verses were unusually good. Still an
other was an embryo Patti, who sim
ply needed to be discovered and
placed before the public to have the
music-loving world delightedly bowling
at her feet. There are hundreds of
others with as laudable and varied am
billions whose hearts, minds and long
ings need to be wisely catered to.
Yet they starve for want of pleas
ures along these lines which they can
not afford to pay for. Love and mar
riage are not the omega of every work
ing girls hopes. While the powers
that be are working for the better
ment of the working class and society
matrons clamor for chance to chap
sron girls in the dance halls, let them
turn their attention to the many intel
lectual bread winners who would love
to hear refined speakers talk on topics
besides war, high cost of living, tango
or the movie craze. Free pleasures of
this kind would be benefits well given,
and, oh! so highly appreciated by
many heart-hungry working girls.

The Connecting Link.

That back-to-the-land idea is going
to become reality if certain ener-
3etic people have their way A num-
Der of highly qualified men and women
are organizing the National Forward
to-the-Land league to bring together
the man, the money and the land. All
the detailed information now on file
in the federal departments of labor
and agriculture is to be made directly
available by means of a clearing house
for such data in New York city. The
leagues purposes are: To give the
man without a cent a chance to earn
the first payments on his farm; to
give the man who has no knowledge
of farming scientific training; to
help men TO help themselves. This
work of hitch-up is just what has been
needed, and we believe the league will
be a real factor in building up the

BOTTLE FOR THE CHICKENS
Keeps Drinking Water for Poultry
Warm in Winter and Cool and
Refreshing in Summer.

A new drinking fountain for fowls
is made on the principle of the Their
mos bottle, and by its use the water
supply in the barnyard is kept cool
in summer and reasonably warm in
winter. This solves one of the great
difficulties of the chicken yard. In the
winter time it is necessary to visit the
chicken yard msny times during the
day to supply water to the birds, for the
reason that the usual receptacles made
use of soon freeze up tight and the
chickens are deprived of water. One
might think that by placing warm wa
ter there it would remain in a liquid
condition for a greater length of time,
but this has proved to be fallacy, for
it is said that for some reason the
heated water cools off and congeals
as quickly, if not more rapidly, than
the pan in which was placed cold wa
ter. In the summer time, too, there
is the trouble of the water becoming
so warm that it ceases to Sc refresh

thought of the approaching wedding
day grows irksome. Both willingly
postpone it again and again The man
look the situation fairly in the face.
He knows by the girls actions and
words that her love for him has dwin-
died down alarmingly. She does not
care for him as she did when he placed
her betrothal ring on her finger.
He cannot bring himself to wed
girl who does not love him with all
her heart. When he has arrived at
this conclusion he determines that it
would be best to break of, If the girl
is of the same mind. He places the
matter fairly and squarely before her.
If she agrees with his views, there is
but one conclusion-to break of. IT,
on the contrary. he has made himself
the light of the girls life with the
hope of being his bride-her one
dream of happiness. he has no right to
break the engagement it took two to
make, and must take both to consent
to break. Time will show each the
best course to pursue
