cided to take walk in the afternoon.
While strolling along he heard a piano

house on which was sign reading:

Pausing to listen. he heard the
young lady trying to play one of Cho-
pins nocturnes and not succeeding

Paderewski walked up to the house
and knocked. Miss Jones came to the
door and recognized him at once. De-
lighted, she invited him in and he sat
down and played the nocturne as only
Paderewski can, afterward spending
an hour in correcting her mistakes.
Miss Jones thanked him and he de-
parted.
Some months afterward he returned
to the town and again took the same
walk.
He soon came to the home of Miss
Jones and, looking at the sign, read:

WOULD NEED 294 SUBMARINES
Germans Would Require That Num-
Der to EffectuaIIy Blockade
All British Ports.

Assuming that the German subma-
rines are based at Zeebrugge. the time
required for the passage to and from
blockading stations of the ports OF
Great Britain would be about four
days. The average time necessary for
overhauling at the base between trips
may be estimated at six days, and the
time which may be spent at sea be-
tween visits to the base cannot well
exceed twenty days. Consequently 1t
would be impracticable to maintain
more than about half of the total force
of submarines on blockading stations.
There are forty-nine ports on the
coasts of England, Scotland and
Wales which it would be necessary for
the German submarines to blockade If
all supplies are to be cut off.
An effective blockade of any port
could scarcely be maintained in the
face of defensive operations, which
must be expected, with less than three
submarines, and double that number
would be none too many. If the min
imum number of three boats be al
lowed for each port, the Germans
would require at least lat constantly
on station to close all the ports of
Great Britain; that is, allowing for the
necessary passage time to and from
the base and the essential overhaul
ing period, the total force should be
294 bmarines.-World's Work.

CEMENT FLOORS FOR STABLE
Slight Fall at Ono End-Use
Wooden TroWeI for Finishing.

When laying cement floors, cutters
should be laid first with q slight fall
to one end. These should be 4 to 6
inches deep and Is to IS inches wide.
The distance from gutter to STAN
chion should be about 4 feet inches
for ordinary cows. Large cows may
need feet 10 inches or feet, while
small heifers require only q 4-foot
stall.
The floor should slope to the gut
ter from each side. The passage be-
hind the cows should be at least s
feet wide to allow cows to pass with
out crowding. The floor should be
finished with wooden trowel rather
than a steel one, as the latter makes
smooth, slippery finish that when
wet is very difficult for the cows to
walk on safely.
II drains are to be laid to carry on
the liquid manure or the water used
in washing the floors, they must be
put in before the floor is laid.

PLANT SOME FRUIT
TREES EVERY YEAR
No Better Way Of Utilizing Spare
Time in Fall After Crops
Have Been Harvested.
IBy MEADE FERGUSON.)

In the economy of man and Of ma
turs trees are of great value not only
through the products which they yield
;as food and materials for industrial
purposes, but through the influence
which they exercise upon climate, soil
and the healthiness and beauty of a
community. The village home to be
beautiful and complete must have
shade trees and, if space permits, fruit
trees. The farm from an economic
standpoint must have trees for shade
and protection from the winds and to
produce wood for the various uses,
such as building, manufacturing tools,
burning, etc. Whenever soil cannot
by any ordinary process be rendered
fit for corn or grass and will bear
trees 1t may be planted as the only,
to profit. There are some tracts Of
thin, stony or gravelly soils covered
with no growth Of any value which
will pay for no improvement whatever
except starting a tree growth.
In the fall and early winter, after
Lu0 CI0p6 Ill Ad1 vC6IOu anu LILO ioia
seeding Is finished, one could utilize
some spare time to no better advantage
than planting trees. There is always
room and q suitable place for them.
Landlords could easily effect an agree
ment between themselves and their
tenants under which the tenants
would be required to plant and care
for trees upon suitable areas each
year.
In driving through the country and
particularly in and around small towns
one observes with regret neglected
shade and ornamental trees OF which
there are 30 many beautiful specimens.
Perhaps short list may encourage a
trial. For Towering trees there are the
double towering crab, English haw-
thorn, pink horse chestnut and catalpa.
For striking characteristics there are
the camperdown elm, weeping beech,
variegated elder, Rivers purple beech
and the linden.

I Heretofore, much of the hay of
| this country was lost through allow
| ing it to stand in stacks in the field.
| The hay barn is now a necessity on
every good farm where the most Is
| made of everything. Where hay is
still stacked, canvas covers help
great deal, but the only way to prop
erly care for clover hay is to put it
into a well ventilated barn.
The value of the hay crop depends
largely upon the man who makes it.
He must have exact knowledge of
the time to cut it, just how it must be
cured in all kinds of weather, and
how to store it. He must thoroughly
understand the use of all haying ma
chinery, and know how to make the
most of every hour of the haying sea-
son with his human help as well.
The proper use of machinery is the
most important thing. Too many
farmers in their haste to get the crop
off the ground crowd their moving
machines beyond their capacity,
which always results in considerable
loss. Nothing is more indicative of
poor farmer than the sight of hay
field in which little rows of grass,
varying from two to six inches are
left standing, the result of trying to
make seven-foot cycle bar cut a
seven-foot six-inch swath.
The machine should be set and SO
driven as to cut every spear of grass
slick and clean, and lay it down even
ly. Then, when the raking comes on,
there is another source of loss in the
careless way in which the ground is
covered, or rather not covered. Lit
tie punches of hay left here and there
count largely in the aggregate, and
mean large money loss.

on the underline in front of the testi-
cles, distinctly traceable milk veins
and miniature teats of good size and
wide spacing. The performance of the
ancestry of the bull should be exam
ined. The more good performers in
the upward line of ancestry the better.
Good performance on the part Of an
cestral dams means the giving of large
quantities of milk rich in quality and
persistence in milk giving for long
period.
The successive sires should be chos-
en- from the same breed. If chosen
from another breed disturbing factors
are inevitable. This may not be ap-
parent at the first, but it will later.
The antagonism likely to result cannot
be explained here. By adhering to
this line of breeding the improvement
should be rapid and continuous at
least for several generations, but the
improvement will be less noticeable
with each succeeding generation.

PURE AIR REQUIRED

Impossible to Secure Good Re.
suits With Sheep in Neigh
borhood of Large Cities.

Animals, like men, attain their best
growth and development when they
have pure food and air.
In England 1t has been found inn
possible to raise sheep with good re-
suits in the neighborhood Of large cit
les, where the air was polluted BY
smoke and gas.

By r. q. WEATHERSTONEl
Haymaking is an art which a great
many farmers have not yet learned.
The modern method of making hay
is far different from that of the old
days when the grass was cut with
scythes, turned with pitchforks-if
time permitted-and slowed away in
dark, musty barns, or stacked in the
open field to keep or spoil as might be.
In modern haymaking, time is es-
sential. II the crop should be cut a
day too socn 1t will easily spoil. II
a day too late it's quality may be i'm
paired by its dry, woody growth. If
it is allowed to lie on the ground "a
hours too long before being tossed and
cured, its quality may be reduced one
half.
Modern haying machinery makes
haymaking easier, but even with all
the appliances that ingenious manu-
facturers have given us, the proper
ton of farmers who make a sure
thing of their hay crop every year
is all too small.
There always has been great deal
of trouble in curing the clover hay
crop. Much OF its value is lost be-
cause of the lack of help necessary to
properly cure it and take care of it
after 1t has been cured. The hay
tedder has helped greatly, and this
kicking machine is now seen on every
good farm where the best modern
methods ara emplOyed
The side rake is another fine ma
chine which helps us in saving the
crop, and If clover is cut at exactly
the right time the use of these two
machines will enable any farmer to
save al there is of his crop, with at
least SO per cent Of it's feeding value.

PROPER AMOUNT TO
FEED TO CHICKENS
Some Hens Require More Food
Than 0thers-They Differ
Also in Preference.

The old rule is that five pecks of
grain will support hen for a year,
and one quart a day for IL hens is .
fair allowance; but it is well known
that one hen may consume even six
pecks, hence any attempt to feed hens
by fixing upon a certain portion of
food will fail in securing expected re-
suits. They differ also in preference
of food and in their condition, a lay
ing hen requiring different food and
more of it than a nonlayer.
It is difficult to measure a mixed
diet, but there is one safe rule to fol-
low, which is to give them half az
much as they will eat in the morning,
less at noon and full meal at night.
For dozen hens three or four pounds
of wheat can be put in the trough, the
birds allowed to eat until the last one
has walked away, then the quantity
left over can be weighed, which will
show exactly how much was eaten.
Then the next morning give them
half as much as they ate before, but
work for it. It is better to keep them
a little hungry than otherwise. At
night fill the trough full of all sorts
of food that is at hand and suitable
for the purpose intended, and let them
eat until they walk away from it, then
remove the remainder. In thus feed
ing the hens it requires but two or
three days to fully understand the re-
quirements Of the flock.
