Ancient Artisans in Africa.

The question has often been asked !:
Was there any earlier race in occupa-
ton Of the area in Africa at present
held by the Bantus? In Man w. H.
Beech reports that in the K1kuyu coun-
try some ancient pottery has been said
to be the work Of q people called Gum
ba. who displaced the Miathoachiana,
cannibal dwarfs.
These Miathoachiana are now be-
neved to be earth-gnomes, skilled in
the art of iron working. Mr.. Beech
with some amount OF FEASIBILITY, sug'
gests that they were possibly bush
men. pygmies, or both. and that they
were a local indigenous race of the
stone age who used flint instruments
often found in the Kikuyu country
The Gumba are said to have made
pottery and to have taught the Kikuyu
the art Of smelling. They may have
been pre-Bantau Hamite invaders; but
Of this there is no evidence and the
legend may tend to show that the
first discovery Of iron was made In
Africa.

FOx.HUNTERs IN THE WAR
Thousands of Men Who Enjoyed That
Sport In Britain Are Now at
the Front.

Waterloo, according TO the duke OF
Wellington, was won ON the playing
fields of Elton. Should Britain emerge
triumphant from the present conflict
we may find someone rising to claim
that the campaign In Flanders was
won in the English shires. The shires
are the headquarters of fox-hunting,
which most humanitarians denounce.
George Bernard Shaw, for example,
has no words strong enough to con-
denim 1t with. Mr.. Jorrocks, the hero
Of q sporting novel, describing fox
hunting as war without its guilt and
only rs per cent Of its danger" 1t has
to be admitted, however. that they
who follow the hounds have answered
magni1cently to their eountry's call.
There are, It proves, $50 masters Of
hounds with the British colors. 5000
members Of hunts and 1900 hunt serv-
ants. To them must be added the Of.
ficers of the regular army who are &C.
customed to ride to hounds, likewise
numbering some thousands. The total
is an impressive one. 1t suggests that
the real attraction of this sport may

There are as many COWS being de

There is some affinity between q

BY cooperation with the dairy cows
men can achieve wonderful results on
the farm.

There is good money in raising good

Put every acre of land to work. Idle
acres like dry cows, eat up the profits.
Common sense, favored with love
for the COW, will insure success in the
dairy business.
Sunlight, fresh air and hot water
are cardinal factors in cleanliness.
Close cropping of pastures is very
Improbable.
A good dairy COW must be inttlli-
gent, courageous and gentle.
Great lung capacity is essential to
high production.
A box stall should be part of the

The easiest way to prevent disease
is to remove the cause.

Thorough Cultivation Is Needed,

Give Wood a Chance.

When you are pushing the young
orchard for growth it needs thorough
cultivation, but 1t should stop in July
in order to give the wood a chance to
ripen before fall.
Rub of the water sprouts in the
center of the tree and do not allow
them to grow large enough to be
pruned.
Look out for the curculio on the
plum and peach trees. Jar them off
on sheets and be sure to burn every

HONEY IS LOOKED
UPON AS A LUXURY
Every Farm should Have Compile
ment of From One to Half
Dozen Hives of Bees.

Honey is looked upon too often as
a luxury. 1t is true that honey, es.
pecially comb honey, is delicacy in
that it takes the place of jam and jel.
ly. In Europe, however, honey is a
household article and Is used to a
considerable extent to replace sugar
in cookery. The claim is made that
it is comparatively simple matter
to substitute honey for sugar or mo-
lasses in many recipes and that the
resulting flavor is often novel and
pleasing. Icing made with honey In
stead of sugar will keep soft and fresh
for months, and cakes, especially those
in which butter is not used, have been
kept fresh for several months.
The United States department of
agriculture has made rather extern
sive investigation concerning the use
of honey, and has just published
Farmers Bulletin 653, Honey and It's
Uses in the Home, which may be Sc
cured for the asking This bulletin
not only contains much general in
formation concerning honey, its
forms, method of making and keep
ing, but also contains many recipes in
which it constitutes an important in
gredient.
Comb honey Is practically certain to
be pure because the processes by
which 1t Is adulterated cost more than
they will save. Formerly there was
a very prevalent idea that extracted
honey, that is, honey removed from
the comb, was often adulterated.
However, recent legislation regarding
adulterating food materials has been
such that very little, if any, adulter-
ated honey finds it's way to market.
1t Is not necessary, however, for
farmers to depend on buying honey,
because every farm should have its
complement of from one to half
dozen hives of bees.
