TAKE PLEASURE IN HAGGLlNG
Tibetans Will Not Be Denied the Joys
That Accrue From the Sense
Of Bargaining.

"Mornin' time, bargain time!" calls
out one Of the peddlers by the way
side in Tibet cheerfully as he sees
you returning from a glimpse of the
SHOWS at sunrise. You bid him come
to you, and from one of the innumer-
able pockets concealed in his volu-
minous robe he will produce perfect
little jade cup. or a Tibetan coffee
pot, or gold copper and precious
stones, or perhaps a huge lump Of
rough turquoise hewn to look like a
couch with tiny gold Buddha reclin.
ing on 1t.
Then comes the bargaining, in which
he and all his friends take part against
your single self.
It can all be done by signs and
smiles and patience and In the long
run you will get some things well
worth having at a very reasonable
price.
But you must have no false pride
about bargaining. 1t is an elementary
part of these peoples nature, and the
Joy Of selling will leave them forever
when the day of haggling is done.

sEEK|NGMORALCODE
Educators to Be Asked to Ex-
press Opinions.
Large Gift by Business Man Il ls
Hoped, viii Be Basis for Good
Work on Subject That
Concerns All.

A gift of $5,OO0O0 by a prominent
business man, as prize for the best
code of morals for children and youth,
to be used in schools as a basis for
character education of children, will
start unique contest throughout the
United States. The problem is to de-
eide what moral ideas intelligent pub
lie opinion believes should be incul-
Gated in school.
The man who gives the prize has
asked the executive committee of the
National Institution for Moral instruc-
tion, in Washington, to control the
contest.
A national group Of seventy code
writer's" is to be organized, at least
one from each state, and these are to
be assisted In interpreting intelligent
public opinion by letters Of advice
from people in all walks of life who
are interested in the character edu-
cation of the children of the nation.
These 70 code writer's are to be se-
lected by board of cooperating edu-
Gators" one in each state.
Invitations have been issued to all
state superintendent of education to
act as cooperating educators, and ac-
ceptancies have already been received
from Commissioner Kendall of New
Jersey; State Superintendent Stearnes
of Virginia; Wagner of Delaware;
Gass of Missouri; Morrison of New
Hampshire; Swearingen of South
Carolina; Shawkey of West Virginia;
Lugg of South Dakota; Davee Of
Montana; Taylor of North Dakota,
and Wilson of Oklahoma.
The following college presidents
and professors have become patrons"
of the movement: Provost Smith,
University Of Pennsylvania; Presi-
dents Dabney, University Of Cincin-
natl; Bryan, University of Indiana:
Nichols, Dartmouth college; Martin,
Boston university; Seager, Columbia
university. and Mrs. Seager; McVey,
University of North Dakota.
Milton Fairchild, chairman of the
executive committee, explains that no
disrespect for the Bible is implied in
this morality code competition, be-
cause the work of the code writer's
will be to formulate the morality
which is in the Bible and being taught
in the churches. into such shape as
will be Of highest utility in school
character education.
The institution is asking that the
general public contribute to the sue
cess of this contest by sending In let
ters of advice to the code writer's.

RULE FIXING TIME
OF CREAM TESTING
Colorado Stations Find 1t Impos-
sible to Do Work Accurate
ly During Rush Hours.

(By R. MCANN. Colorado Experiment
Station.)
All those delivering cream to cream
stations and those operating shipping
stations will be interested in the new
ruling whereby all cream station tests
are to be made the day following the
delivery Of the cream.
1t has been found absolutely impos.
sible to do the acurate, careful work
required to make tests during the
rush hours of business, and 1t is for
this reason, namely, to insure the
farmer of correct tests and give the
operators time to make them, that
this ruling has been passed BY this
method a check will be forthcoming
at the time Of each delivery with the
exception Of the first, and no delay or
waiting will be necessary on the part
of the farmer or dairyman.
Several adjoining states have had
similar law in effect for years past,
and are we'll pleased with the results
obtained. 1t has proved a benefit to
all concerned, and is being firmly
backed by dairyInen and creamery
men alike

EGGS DAMAGED BY
IMPROPER STORAGE
Hens Should Be Provided With
Plenty of Clean Nests-Store
in Dark, Cool Place.

Dirty eggs can be avoided by clean
quarters and plenty of nests. In mud.
dy times keep the floor of the poultry
house well bedded with clean litter.
One Of the chief causes of dirty eggs
Is too few nests. A hen lays a clean
egg and leaves the nest, another hen
gets In the nest and stepping around in
1t before she sits down, fouls the
clean egg laid by the first hen. Wet
straw in the nests often stains the
eggs dirty yellow. Do not wash eggs.
This Injuries their keeping qualities.
Eggs kept in a damp, moldy place
and eggs smeared over from broken
eggs develop rotten spots. The farm
er should keep eggs in a cool, dry.
dark place. A cool, dry cellar is a
good place. Eggs are damaged quick
ly in damp cellar or in a warm pam
try or kitchen.
Eggs should be gathered daily in
cool weather and twice day or often
er in hot weather. They should be
placed as soon as gathered in a cool,
dry place, and should be protected
from heat by being covered while on
the road to town, the same as cream.
Most farmers need to change their
stock and secure hens that will lay
uniform quality of good-sized eggs
that, when properly taken care of, will
grade as "firsts."
Moldy feeds and overfeeding are
likely to produce eggs with bad fla.
vor. Eggs absorb bad odors from veg.
etables, meat, kerosene and other bad
smelling surroundings. Eggs packed
in bran, oats or chaff that are nodded
or damp are likely to absorb odors or
fiavors. Eggs should never be placed
against metal, as is done when they
are gathered in tin pail. The metal
is likely to make spot on the shell
where 1t touches the egg.

Rocky Roads Of China.

We all know the description of the
snakes In Ireland: There are none,"
and much the same might be said
about the roads In China. There are
so-called roads, certainly, upon which
the people move about, but I have
seldom met one that was any better
than the surrounding country, and
very, very often on this Journey
met roads where 1t was ease and lux
ury to move off them on to the neigh
boring plowed field. The recipe for
a road there in the North seems to
be: "kTae a piece Of the country that
is really too bad to plow or to use for
any agricultural purposes whatever,
that mountain torrent, in fact,
has given up as too much for the
water, upset stone wall over It, q
stone wall with good large stones In It,
take care they never for moment lie

TO CONSERVE PLANT
FOOD IN THE SOIL
Sooner or Later TiIIer Must Quit
Robbing Soil and Feed 1t
as He Feeds FIockS.
(By H. l. RUSSELL, Wisconsin Expert
ment Station.)

(By H. L. RUSSELL, Wisconsin Expert
ment Station)
The processes of soil formation are
continually in the making. Weather
ing is slowly but constantly releasing
new plant food, while at the same time
the processes of depletion, erosion,
teaching and waste are lessening the
value of this asset.
To conserve this bank account and
to transmit it unimpaired to future
generations is a duty which the hui
man race owes to posterity, but as
with nearly all Of our natural re-
sources, man has wasted more than he
has used. In earlier years, when
knowledge did not exist, or was i'm
perfectly appreciated, wanton prac-
tices led to rapid depletion or exhaus-
ton. Every virgin area that has been
opened up for settlement by man has
had its pioneer generation of soil min
ers, but if future human life is to re-
ceive adequate support from the soil,
sooner or later the scil-tiller must quit
robbing the land and feed his soil as
he feeds his flocks.
The last decade or two has brought
the American farmer to a more COM
plete realization than he has ever be-
fore known, of the duty that lies be-
fore him. The lessons that China and
Japan learned a thousand years ago
or more made their way slowly to-
ward the occidental world. Even the
teachings of old England and the
plains Of Continental Europe fell heed
less on American ears. To our fathers
the so-called inexhaustible fertility of
the magnificent Mississippi Valley
could never be used up, but the de-
clining crop yields Of section, wheth-
er it is wheat, corn or cotton, spell
lessening profit and impairment of
capital.
Science has now shown in no unmis.
taxable terms that as the chain is no
stronger than its weakest link, so the
soil is no richer than its content of its
most Indispensable element, whether
1t be depleted of its potash or phos-
phorus by age-long teaching or more |
rapidly by careless crop production,
matters little. The effect is the same.

GINGER AND SODA
GOOD FOR POULTRY
Easily Prepared Mixture Will
Keep Digestive Organs Toned
and in Condition.

Where milk is fed regularly to the
chickens. teaspoonful of ginger and
soda added to each gallon every third
or fourth day will prevent cholera or
other bowel troubles. Stir the mix
ture until thoroughly dissolved, before
feeding. This is very easily prepared
and will keep their digestive organs
toned and sweetened.
When fattening fowls, skim milk
should be used to mix the mash. They
like it better, and in this way are in
duced to eat just as much more as the
milk, while serving as moisture to wet
the mash, is also hearty food.
The food for young ducks should be
mixed with milk, and curds made from
sour milk are indispensable for young
turkeys.

half-grown. Immediately upon becom-
ing fly, the insect eats it's way out
through the shells of the infested
seeds, and then through the green
pods. Large portions of the seeds are
holt@wed out in this manner, when
they are still green and growing.
Th0 infested seeds which still con-
tain the living larvae of the insect
may be recognized by their abnormal
shape and usually by the dull brown
color. Some of the infested seeds,
however, retain their natural color,
but they always lack the glossy ap-
pearance of normal seeds.
The extent to which alfalfa seed is
damaged by the fly is not generally
apparent, owing to the minuteness of
the insect and because its destructive
work is accomplished within the
growing seeds. Pasture the field when
possible to save the next crop.

Glasgow has seven municipal lodg-
