THE RED FLAG.

An engineer gave his little girl a
small red flag to play with and ex-
planned that on the road the red flag
signifies danger. Would you stop
your train If you saw red flag on the
track?" she asked Yes" he said, "or
there might be an accident" After her
papa had left, the little girl thought OF
what she might do to help, and at last
she thought of the red flag, and what
her papa had told her it stands for,
Going to the sideboard she firmly
fastened the flag to the decanter, and
then went to bed satisfied. The father
came home, went to the sideboard for
the usual nightcap, but saw the flag
and understood and needed the warn.

Other Uses.

Sunflowcrs makes one of the
best and cheapest food for hogs
that can be raised; it is also val
uable for horses and cattle. Hogs
can best be allowed TO do the
harvesting, as there is but little
waste thereby, as the grain does
not rot for several months after
falling on the ground. The seed

Method of Harvesting.

If stalks are very tall the cut
ter can stand in wagon and
reach the heads best; use an or.
dnary pocket knife TO cut the
heads, as a heavy stroke with
corn knife will shatter many
seeds from the heads. For
small acreages seeds can be as
easily threshed by beating them
out of the heads with light
stick as TO employ a machine.
Larger acreagcs is bests handled
by running heads through a pea
thresher or wheat separator.
If beaten ont by hand, seeds will
have to be run through "A gram

that will produce ordinary crops
of corn will do for ainllOwers.

Cultivation.
