Seattle, Wash.-Owners of 1900 bags

the nuts were not intended for human

FLAVOR OF MILK is
IMPROVED BY OATS
Series Of Experiments Made to
Ascertain the Truth of This
Assertion.

It has been asserted by some dairy
men that the feeding of crushed oats
to cows will improve the flavor OF
milk. To ascertain the correctness of
this theory a series of experiments
was made by the bureau of animal
industry of the United States depart
ment of agriculture at the experiment
tai dairy farm at Beltsville, Md.
Six cows were used in the expert
ment; three were fed a grain ration
Of cornmeal, bran and cottonseed
meal; the other three were fed a
grain mixture of five parts crushed
oats and one part cottonseed meal.
A number of samples of milk from
the COWS fed these rations were sub
mitted to various persons in the dairy
division and they we're asked to indi-
cate their preference. In all so opin-
ions were passed on various samples.
OF these, 16 showed preference for
the milk from cows fed on crushed
oats, 25 preferred that from the bran
and corn ration, while nine expressed
no choice.
The results show that in these ra-
tions not only was there no marked
difference in favor of the crushed oats
as feed to improve flavor, but, if
anything, the ration containing bran
and corn was more successful in pro.
ducing fine-favored milk.

PAYING SALARIES TO WIVES
voted to Women-Husband 10 the
Real ProVider.

About the most foolish proposition
that has been advanced for some time
is the discussion now going on con-
corning the payment Of salaries to
wives. The discussion started some
time ago in periodical devoted to
women, and it has been raging" ever
since, with now and then some good
soul advocating that the wife be paid
regular wages, and the household ex-
penses be apportioned properly-and a
lot more of the same line.
The ideal home is the one where
the wife is not bothered with finances,
where the husband is the provider-
and provides. In this ideal home the
wife knows the standard of living
which should be maintained, and the
husband is not annoyed in any way
with apportioning the household ex-
penses. The wife has what she wants
because she wants only what the fam.
lily can afford, and the husband takes
care of all expenditures, whether in
the way Of money outlay or by pay
ing all bills promptly. In the idea
home the question of money is seldom
mentioned, for the reason that 1t does
not have to be mentioned. The hus
band sees to it that the wife is amply
provided with funds.-Dayton News.

where ideal conditions and the ideal
girl are in conjunction, are not to be
sought after, but met Unexpectedly,
fatefully."
If, however, fate was drifting him
into the pathway of the ideal mate the
process was slow. Several weeks
passed by and Rodney was wearied of
wandering He had about made up his
mind to write to his uncle resigning
his wandering commission and return
ing home to the old cherished and
longed-for life, when something hap
pened
1t came with rather startling mys-
terry and abruptness. Rodney had
reached little city in state of the
middle West, and had put up at hotel
deciding with the morning to purchase
his tickets for return to his original
starting place. He put in an hour in
the lobby at cigar and reading the
evening papers. There was crowd
of new arrivals, and the clerk at the
Office desk had his hands full and hur-
riedly slid across the counter the key
asked for by Rodney.
He had not yet been up to his room
and handed the key to bellboy. Once
within the apartment he sat down at a
table, discovering there the usual out
fit of writing and hotel paper. Rod
ney wrote fully to his uncle of his in
tentions to return, sealed the letter
and started to go to the lower floor to
mail it, when he paused.
1T is room seventy-seven," he heard
q tremulous feminine voice say.
This is it, MISS" was the reply,
evidently by the foorboy.
There came timid knock at the
door. Rodney opened it. A beautiful
young girl, accompanied by an anx-
ious-faced lady of middle age, stood
there Both directed quick, agitated
glances at Rodney.
"You are Mr.. West" fluttered the
girl, and her evident distress, even
fright, almost panied Rodney, it was
SO intense. I'VE received your note.
If you will call at our home tomorrow
morning we will have the money for
you, provided you deliver the papers" ;"

NEGLECT IS COSTLY
IN NURSERY STOCK
Big Loss Caused Every Spring
Through Poor Handling, Says
Minnesota Expert.

From 10 to rs per cent of the
nursery stock bought is lost every
spring through poor handling, says
w. G. Brierley Of the horticultural di-
vision Of the Minnesota college Of
agriculture. One should buy all
nursery plants subject to inspection
he said, and reject the stock if it is in
poor condition.
"One of the safest methods of han
ding nursery stock" he continues, "is
to remove it from the shipping case
and heel in,' so that the plants may
replenish the moisture lost in transit.
If the bark appears shriveled it may
be advantageous to even bury the en-
tire stock in light soil for day or
two. Immersing in water is not advis-
able; it softens the bark too much.
"Other means of safe handling" Mr..
Brierley continues, ARE packing the
soil firmly around the roots, throwing
the richer top-soil in the bottom OF
the hole and crowning the top with
light, loose soil, so as to preserve all
moisture for the plant.

"The poorest results usually occur on
the sandiest soils, for these dry out
more severely in the late summer
months and prevent the formation of
new plants and runners and reduce
the development of fruiting buds for
the subsequent season.
Freshly Broken Land Ideal.
Freshly broken land is usually
ideal for a strawberry bed provided it
has first been planted to same cult
waited crop, such as potatoes. Sod land
is likely to be infested with white
grrbs which are a dangerous foe to
the tender plants"
There are many different ways of
planting, states Mr.. Merrill, but the
two most commonly used are the hill
system and the matted row system. In
the hill system the plants are set Is
inches apart and no runners are al
lowed to develop. The strength of
the plant is utilized in the formation
of one stool. All the work done in
cultivation in this system must be
done with hand implements, but the
returns are higher than the matted
row system A modification of this
system is sometimes practiced by set
ting the rows three feet apart and the
plants Is inches apart in the row.
In the matted row system the rows
are from three to four feet apart and
the plants IL to 18 inches apart
in the row. New plants are per.
mitted to develop until the row is two
feet wide. With this system the work
can be done mainly with horse-drawn
implements.

Miraue,

Mirages are most often seen in hot
climates, especially over sandy deserts,
and also frequently in the Polar re-
gions, the cause being assigned to
sharp variations in the atmosphere
They are also visible at times in the
temperate zones, the general opinion
being that the objects seen are re-
fiected on minute particles of dust in
the air The same effect has been
witnessed in mists or fogs, the sup
position being that the reflection is
carried on the tiny globules of mois,
ture then contained in the atmosphere.
If you noted the weather conditions at
the time the mirage was visible, you
will probably find the explanation in
the reason last mentioned.

Artificial Abraslves-

Artificial abrasives have nearly dis.
placed the natural. The United States
production of corundum and emery is
reported to have gradually increased
in quantity and value from 1880 and
then decreased in value per ton, but
increased in quantity, thus main.
tanning an annual average Of about
100000 until 1902. In the decline
since then corundum mining has
ceased and emery mining is nearly
dead. The artificial abrasives pro.
duced are carborundum, crystolon, al.
undum, aloxite, crushed steel and steel
shot.
