BIRDS AS NEIGHBORS.

(From the Davenport Democrat.)
The renewed interest in birds is to
be seen in the large number of bird
houses that are being put up. Peo-
pie are beginning to realize that to
have a variety of song birds nesting
in their trees is as gratifying an as
set as their homes can have. They
are not so concerned about the util-
itarian side of the matter, which
nevertheless is important, as the
birds are most valuable allies in our
battle with the insect world. The
beauty of the song birds and the
charm Of their: song is sufficient to
claim a friendly interest on the part
Of an increasing number Of people.

to the gable end of the porch. Con-
venient dimensions for this porch are
10 feet each way. This will enable the
very largest forkful of hay to be taken
in without choking the entrance.
AS shown, the porch should be
closed with door hung from hinges
above. held in place when closed by
ropes attached to the lower corners
and fastened on the inside of the barn
when the door is shut. The chief ad-
vaptages of this plan are that the hay
tackle is always under cover so there
is no warping of the wooden sup.
ports, rusting of the metal nor rotting
of the rope. The roof above the porch
need not extend more than four or
five feet beyond the main roof of the
barn. The large dimension is the bet

three months devour over 10000 in
sects. If every ten of these would
have done one cent damage the toad
has saved $40. Evidently the toad is
valuable friend to the farmer, gar.

MOST BEAUTIFUL WORD
CHOICES MADE HY STUDENTS OF
DIFFERENT AGES.
Some Of Them Are Interesting; Pa
thetic, and Some Amusing = Col
Ieue Professor Gives Result of
His Investigations.

What is the most beautiful word in
the English language? A college pro
fessor, who has been teaching for
number of years, has collected some
interesting facts concerning the pref
erences that schoolgirls and school
boys entertain for certain words. He
has made the experiment with some
20 classes, all the way from an un-
graded class in a country school to
the senior class in college.
At the conclusion of recitation the
teacher has had little slips of blank
paper distributed He has then re-
quested each pupil to write down
without consulting his neighbor what
he thought the most beautiful word in
the English language, giving consid-
Grafton both to sound and to sense.
OF the 600 pupils that he has had,
405 wrote the name mother" 81
wrote "home;" %, father" 18, dad
dy;" 16, vacation" II, baseball;
8, football" Z, love-" 8, sister" 2,
"aunties, and 2, grandmother The
following words received one vote
each: Grandpa" "vesper," moon
light" 'hope," rose" hyacinth," "an-
gel,' music and "swimmin' hole"
OF the remaining IA, one, a response
from very bright boy, puzzled the
professor. That boy wrote cellar
door," When asked about it, he pro-
nounced it "cellah doah," and ex-
planned, ooh, it just sounds pretty"
The other 13 ballots, all for the
same word, amused and perplexed the
professor. They were all handed it at
the same time from class of 20
healthy, growing, hard-working coun-
try boys. There was, the teacher in
sists, no opportunity for collusion. The
ballot was taken silently. Each bal
lot was then folded and dropped into
hat that the teacher asked one of
the boys to pass around.
Those 13 citizens-to-be deliberately
wrote down the ugly-sounding, greasy
looking, thoroughly unattractive word
''victuals." What could have been
more suggestive of that teachers op-
portunity than the fact that nearly
half of class of 29 immortal souls
thought "victuals" the most beautiful
word in the English language?
And what higher compliment could
be paid to motherhood and the Ameri-
can home than the fact that 527 of
these 600 boys and girls, young men
and young women, independently, and
at various times and places, selected
words that suggested family relation
ship as the sweetest words in their
language?-Youth's Companion.

HARVEST HAIRY vETcH SEED
Moving Machine Should Be Used
When Oldest Pods Are Ripe
Use Great Care In Curing.


In harvesting hairy vetch seed 1t
should be cut with moving machine
when the oldest pods are fully ripe.
The wheels of the power as well as
the horses must not be allowed to
pass over the cut vetch, as otherwise
much of the seed will be shattered
out. AS the pods break open readily
when dry, the greatest care should be
taken in curing and handling to avoid
loss of seed. 1t can be threshed with
an ordinary grain thresher by lower
ing the concaves sufficiently to avoid
cracking the seed.
Yields of from three to ten bushels
per acre of hairy vetch seed may be
expected in addition to the rye or
other grain with which it is grown.
A complete separation of the hairy
yetch seed from rye or wheat is best
made by use of spiral separating ma
chine.

conserves Moisture, Kills Weeds,
Aerates Soil and Increases the
Supply of Plant Food.

(By M. #. AHERN, Kansas Experiment
Station)
First, last and al the time, let the
slogan be Cultivation" In small gar
dens cultivation must necessarily be
by hand. The hoe, rake and fingers
win prove efficient tools for cultiva-
tion of square rod garden. Cultiva-
ton conserves moisture, kills the
weeds, aerates the soil and increases
the supply of plant food.
Watering should be done carefully,
for too much is nearly as bad as too
little. 1t is better to irrigate or sprin-
kle vegetables in the evening, so that
there will be less evaporation. A good
way to apply water to small garden
is to make shallow furrow with the
hoe and then permit the water to run
into these shallow bitches. AS soon
as the soil will permit after watering
the garden should be cultivated in or.
der to conserve the moisture.
Insects are prevalent this season.
The flea beetle has been eating the
radish. Spray with powdered ar.
senate of lead and lime, or with ar
senate of lead dissolved in water. For
the green aphis these insects feed up
on the under side of the leaves, suck
ing the juice spray with soap and wa.
ter, one pound of soap to six gallons
of water. Cut worms are likely to
be troublesome. Bran mash is good
remedy. Use two or three ounces of
sugar or similar quantity of molasses
to gallon of water and sufficient bran
to make a mixture that will readily
run through the fingers

SOME HINTS FOR BUILDERS
Great Care Should Be Taken in SeIee-
tion Of the Most Substantial
Roofing Material.

If you were without preparation or
plan, rudely placed in wilderness,
your first thought would be of food
supply and your next of shelter, for
these are the two most vital necessi-
ties of mankind. It is therefore
natural that the best thought, and
study are put upon these two essen
tials.
More forward steps have been
taken in the building industry in the
past fifteen years, as regards comfort,
service and architectural beauty than
in the fifty years previous.
Only in recent years has the hand
ling of cement in building work been
understood properly, and progress is
still constantly being made with it.
Modern hotels and Office buildings
are being equipped with sheet metal
mouldings and steel veenered doors.
Nearly every important change in
building construction is away from
the fire hazard Of wood.
One of the most significant develop
ments Of recent years is the crushed
slate surfaced asphalt shingle which
is, on new construction and old, rapid
ly supplanting the wooden article.
There are many reasons for this. The
slate surfaced shingles add beauty to
any building-in fact, there is really
no comparison from an architectural
standpoint. Crushed slate of pleasing
tints of red or green, is employed as
surfacing. The shingles are uniform
ly eight inches wide and are exposed
four inches to the weather. No paint
ing is necessary as the red or green
crushed slate is natural and therefore
cannot fade.
The purchaser, however, should
guard himself against buying slate
surfaced shingle that is not guaran-
teed by a reliable and responsible
manufacturer. There are so many
kinds of roofing and shingles on the
market today each claiming to be the
best that it becomes necessary for the
buyer to get some satisfactory assur-
ance that the roofing or shingles are
represented honestly.

His Third Set.

From the state of Indiana comes a
story about Civil war veteran who
is getting his third set Of teeth. He
is seventy-five years old, and declares
that he never had dentist remove
any Of his teeth, but "just naturally
allowed them to wear out" When his
gums began to hurt few months ago
he supposed he had case of neu-
ralgia due to decaying dentals, but
slowly the roots of the ancient teeth
began to be forced to the surface, and
now Jacob Hays has four brand new
teeth and others are on the way.
Dentists do not know whether any
one but veteran of the war could
grow three sets of molars or not.

NOW room will be much greater than
if you build timber barn and have
lots of crossties or beams. A barn
with a truss like this one was built
in central Iowa few years ago, and
time has shown that it is good job.
It also, by the way, was a cheap frame
to put UP from the standpoint Of both
labor and materials.
It is just a plain gable-roofed barn
with 18-foot rafters of two-by-six and
placed two feet center to center. The
studding are 16 feet on top of the
concrete wall and the hay floor joists
of two-by-eight stuff are nine feet from
the floor. The NOW holds one ton of
hay for about every running foot of
the barn. Note how the studding, the
joists and the rafters are all tied up
together so that they cannot bulge,
sag, twist or bend. A plank girder
made out of four 2x12's runs through
the center of the barn when it is only
% feet in width The girder is sup
ported by six-by-eight posts and prop
erly braced.
For small barn that has a fairly
good capacity, this kind of an idea is

Don't Waste Wood Ashes.

Ordinary wood ashes contain ON the
average about or 8 per cent of pot
ash and 2 per cent of phosphoric acid.
Investigators have considered that
there is enough potash and phosphor-
ic acid in bushel of wood ashes to
make it worth 20 to 25 cents. Besides
that, some 10 to 15 cents additional
might be allowed for the "alkali pow
err Of the ashes. This power is that
which enables ashes to rot weeds and
to ferment peat.

Cut Worms.

This pest is troublesome only when
its numbers have increased to such an
extent that all food in the vicinity has
been devoured. The larvae then travel
in compact masses and here is their
vulnerable point of attack. If fur
row is thrown open across their path
they will enter it, but they cannot
climb out of the steep side, so here
they can be utterly exterminated.

Grass.

Grass is one Of natures necessities.
To the eye it is soft and green upon
its surface; but it is much stronger

to hold together the earth's surface
by the close-clinging and intricate en-
tanglements of its roots and it serves
this purpose all the year around.
