SNOWFALL ADOPTS MIDNIGHT

WELL" said SNOWFALL, as he looked

the city with master this morning"
And Snowfall was right; 1t was bad
weather, for. neither showing nor rain

thing was covered with a glare Of
slippery, treacherous ice. and 1t was
unusually cold Kit and Puff looked
with amazement when SNOWFALL came
out with the red collar of his sweater

his neck, completely covering his col

standing "Oh. yes" said SNOWFALL,

When l have work to do don't let
little ice and little cold weather
drive me under the stove" and, flirt-
Ing his tail saucily. he jumped up on
the seat OF the wagon to wait for his
master.
In town there were number of long
waits while goods were being bought
or delivered, and one of the longest Of
them was in part of the town where
SNOWFALL did not remember of having
ever been before. The houses were
tumbledown in appearance, with here
and there blind swinging loosely on
one hinge, and not a few windows
from which the glass had been broken.
This must be the slum district"
said SNOWFALL to himself, land sup
pose there may be some pretty tough
characters round about here. l shall
have to keep a sharper watch than
usual to see that nothing is stolen
from the wagon" While he was walk
ing about trying to watch both sides
of the wagon at once he heard faint
''meouw" from the ground, and going
over to that side of the wagon from
which the sound seemed to come he
saw the most disreputable little black
kitten that he had ever seen. His
little body was SO small and poor that
his head looked two sizes too large
for him, and his eyes we're all watery
with tears as he looked up at Snow
ball and meouwed again.
Whats the matter, kitten?" said
SNOWFALL; why don't you go home
where it's nice and warm and get
something to eat? You look hungry"

When boughs enough have been

Picturesque CONS Valley.
Visitors to the Rhone valley are
generally interested in the remark
able water conduits, or "bisses,' as
they are called by the natives, which
are found in nearly every side valley
and by which water is conveyed from
considerable distance to tho villages
and pastures. By means of these ir.
rigation channels the fields are kept
green even in the hottest summer
weather. The ceaseless care and even
peril which their construction and re-
pair entail have been most graphically
described by the Swiss writer, J. C
Hecr, in his book by the Sacred
Springs"
Delightful woods fringe the extern.
sive pastures, which are covered with
soft, velvety grass on which nature
has lavishly strewn the prettiest OF
Alpine blossoms. But the natives OF
Cons have no time for sentimental
flower study, and men, women and
children toll hard in summer to gather
their not overabundant crop Of hay.
The dairy and cheese industries are
cultivated with great care, and certain
varieties Of CONS cheese are consid
cred a special delicacy by connois
seurs. In the Binnen and Fischer
valleys-two small side valleys in this
district-it used to be the custom to
keep cheeses of this kind for many
years as sort of family heirloom
Specimens of them, some dating back
to the seventeenth century, are still
shown in the city hall of Fiesch.
Conditions have, however, changed
considerably with the arrival of sum-
mer guests along the Furka road.
Several of the villages have become
summer resorts, and the majority OF
the young people of CONS work no
longer on their parental farms, but in
Swiss hotels.
A few innovations have thus pene-
trated this rural region, but they have
In no way affected the home life of the
natives. Tiny chapels, churches and
wayside shrines are dotted along the
road everywhere, for the devout peo-
pie Of Cons have no greater interest
in their lives than their religious
duties.

ten, was seen by all the inhabitants OF
the town.
According to an eyewitness, the floss
first appeared high up, in a perfectly
clear sky, as a mass of stars, lustrous
metallic sheets, and silvery ropes. 1t
reached the earth in various shapes
and sizes, ranging from minute par.
ticles to sheets 20 feet square. 1t fell

masses of it hung from the telephone

When the substance reached the
warm earth it began at once to con-

soon disappeared, although samples
Of it were saved and sent to the Lick

time in the history of American
agriculture when they received more
attention. They are in the rays Of
the nations spotlight, agriculturally
speaking.
To their credit is must be said that
they are taking the honors modestly.
They are going ahead and proving in
conclusive manner that they are Justly
entitled to the good things being said
of them.
What the boys and girls are doing
today to promote better agriculture is
of inestimable value to the country at
large. Not only does it tend to in
crease crop production, but it is max
Ing life more attractive on the farm.
Through the medium of boys corn
clubs and girls garden and canning
clubs the boys and girls are learning
that there is much that is worth while
in country life. With education along
these lines and the unfolding of the
mysteries of plant life it is becoming
more difficult to lure them from the
farm.
The boys corn club work is def
mite effort by the United States de-
partment of agriculture, the state agri-
cultural colleges, and other institutions
to promote and encourage increased
production of corn at reasonable cost
on small areas and to offer plan of
vocational guidance by requiring club
members to master a complete corn
crop operation.
This begins with the selection of
suitable seed and follows the opera
ton to marketing or feeding and in
cludes the making up Of complete
crop report of the work, its cost and
expenses. In this work the profit on
the investment is as important as
the matter of yield.
The future of American agriculture
is largely dependent on the boys and
girls of today, and it is the purpose
of this corn club movement to assist
the other forces now at work to in
terest, instruct and direct the boys of
our villages and rural communities in
the possibilities of farming as a profit
able and dignified profession.
Corn growing on the one-acre basis
is used as medium of instruction
and interest. AS field crop of in
terest and cash value 1t has no
superior. From the standpoint of its
economical relation to farm manage
ment 1t will encourage diversified
farming, soil building by rotation Of
crops. the feeding of hogs, the keep
ing of other live stock, etc., and Is
considered one of the most profitable
field crops grown in the grain states.
The girls clubs are conducted along
lines similar to the work of the corn
clubs, only the crop is some garden
crop-such as tomatoes-which can
be disposed Of net only as a fresh
vegetable, but the product may also
be canned.

whiting, stuffed or baked mackerel, or
