Bo0KPLATES.
Forms and Styles In Use and Labels
Place In a Volume.

Place In a Volume.
Bookplates are not of modern inven-
tion. Their beginning was in the latter
half Of the fifteenth century and their
accredited first home Germany. But as
a bookplate has the same merit in a
library that d scarecrow has in the
graintield, polite hands off, to the
too ready and forgetful borrower, the
fashion of this mark of ownership has
increased. not decreased, until today
one finds bookplate collections in null
titudes as well as bookplate users.
There are three forms of plate, the
engraved plate, the photogravure and
the line cut plate. The engraved plate
has for ii long while been as popular as
it is beautiful. but recently there seems
a shifting in fancy toward the photo
gravure-just why nobody knows. Per-
haps it is the lesser cost, for the en-
grayed plate mounts up from 500 to
$500, whereas the photogravure may
be had for $25 and the line cut, if one
is clever enough to draw ones own de-
sign. costs mere trifle for a simple
design. Once one has ones plate, how
ever. the printings therefrom are but a
trife.
There are four distinct styles in
plates. The first is the armorial. In
this the crest or coat of arms is used
and sometimes the owners name add
ed thereto. The second style is the
decorative. in which allegory or pure
decoration creates the basis of the idea.
The third Is the pictorial plate. This
shows the owners tastes and inclina-
lions. a college boy, for instance, may
have plate which will show tennis
racket. golf sticks. a football. The
fourth and last style is seldom seen.
Still it exists. so it is worth mention
ing 1t is classed as portraiture and
consists of the book owners picture or
portrait framed in some decorative
scheme. And as far as good taste goes
it is questionable.
Where TO place the bookplate when
once it is a possession also rends the
soul of many. Common usage and
common sense show the best place to
be on the inner side of the books front
cover. for a plate pasted between the
fly leaves of the book defeated its own
purpose. Being well obscured, it is
rarely noticed. When a husband and
wife combine Libraries it is often usual
to find the plate Of one in the front of
the volume and the plate of the other
IN the back. or one may be added in
smaller size beneath the other.-New

True To the Pole

The needle of the compass does not
always point directly north. 1t is sub
ject to daily and yearly variations, as
well as those which require centuries
to complete. The needle is. however,
"true to the pole" although it shifts
thus every hour in the day. 1t does SO
only in obedience to the laws which
control its action. Variations which are
constantly taking place in the terres-
trial magnetism produce corresponding
changes in the needle.

DAYTIME Aurora.

An aurora seen in the daytime is de-
scribed by Fl. B. Collier in the Journal
of the Royal Astronomical Society of
Canada. The writer was at Viking,
Alberta. in latitude SO degrees north,
and observed the aurora half an hour
before sunset on April % Its visibility
was due to the fact that a cloud hung
above the horizon, serving as curtain
or screen against which the aurora
could be seen. The observer states
that numerous bright. hazy. milklike
streamers. appearing to have their
source just below the cloud, darted
upward. rising about fifteen degrees"

CLEAN UP YOUR POULTRY HOUSE
BEFORE PUTTING IN YOUR
PULLETS.
ROY H. WAITE.

At this time of the year when the
pullets are being put into their winter
quarters there should be thorough
house-cleaning. Clean the house by
scrubbing it with broom and water
If necessary and then spray it with
some good spray mixture. You can
use to advantage one Of the so-called
sheep dips or coal tar products that
are on the market. Directions for ap-
plying vary somewhat, but are always
given on the cans of containers in
which the products are sold. If the
house Is badly infested with mites,
which, by the way. are worse than lice,
It might be well to use a kerosene
emulsion which is made as follows:
Hard soap. " lb.
Boiling soft water, 1 gallon.
Kerosene, 2 gallons.
This can be applied with spray
pump or white wash brush or broom
may be used. The important thing is
to get the solution well into the cracks
and other hiding places of the mites.
Sometimes poultry houses are white
washed to free them from lice and
mites and this is a very efficient
method especially If well done. How
ever several poultrymen have reported
cases of eye trouble caused by the
|iiirRe from the wash getting into the
eyeA of the fowls. Where the birds
run out doors a great deal of the time
this trouble probably will not occur.
It only seems to appear in housed
doclxs.
White wash containing carbolic acid
was once widely recommended for
poultry houses. but 1t is doubtful If
Ne acid does any good for its action

HE GUESSED RIGHT.

One He Selected.

One He Selected.
A certain Turk, according to the
story. was once married to a yelled
lady in white in the presence Of the
sultan. As soon as the ceremony was
concluded the bride mysteriously dis
appeared.
The groom was led into an adjoining
room. where stood twelve ladies all
dressed in white. but without wells.
Choose from the twelve" exclaimed
the sovereign. 'her that is your bride"
AS the man had never seen her face
the command bewildered him.

majesty. ''yonr life shall pay the for

The poor man walked up and down
the row Of beauties. but saw nothing
whatever to aid his choice.
"You have ouly a minute left" yell
ed the sultan in anger. Choose at

Ten of the ladies' the man noticed,
gave him nothing else than stony
stare. One of the remaining two
frowned, the other smiled. "The
frowning one" he thought, sis my
bride. for she expresses her displeas-
ure and impotence at my ignorance.
mo" he said to himself; sit must be
the smiling one, for she desires to In

After debating the subject in his
mind until his time was up he boldly
made a selection from the two. He
was successful He had regained his
bride. Which was she-the one who
frowned or the one who smiled?

grow a crop of corn This crop the
boy is to grow himself, doing as much
OF the actual labor as possible. His
teacher, if she is interested, will visit
his acre occasionally and explain to
him the directions which the County
Agent has given him. The County
Agent will send letters, also, both to
the boy and his teacher, telling what
can be done from time to time to i'm
prove the crop, what the other boys
in the county are doing, why the boy
should keep up his interest, and how
to form neighborhood boys club in
which his school mates can join. Dur
ing the growing season the County
Agent will visit a number of the acres
calling field meetings to which neigh.
boring boys and their fathers are in
vited to discuss the growing of the
crop and the selection of seed corn.
Later the County Agent plans with the
teacher for school exhibit to which
her children, including her corn club
boys can bring exhibits and where
they can submit their accounts and
read their essays telling how they
grew their crop and followed the di.
rections of their teacher and the Coun-
ty Agent. In this work our county
agents are developing a spirit of
loyalty to farm life and a knowledge
of farm business among our boys that
will show remarkable results in the
agricultural production of the future
What better training could the boy
Ehave than in attempting to do better
than anyone else what thousands Of
Nkher men and boys are doing? In
what better work can the county
agent be engaged than in welding to-
gether the young life of his county
into united effort to make their
neighborhoods and the county itself a
leader in agricultural production and
the seat of happy farm life?
