TOO SEVERE A PUNISHMENT

A certain town-not the one you live
In, dear reader, but it's nearest and

want to bed at nine o'clock every night
because there was no other place tc

One day tramp was caught beg
ging in the streets of this town and
was promptly arrested and arraigned
before the justice of the peace.
After hearing the evidence the mag
istrate put on his sternest look and
said: 1T appears from the testimony
presented here that you are vagrant
without visible means of support. In

LOCUST AND THE OAK.

Once upon time there was tiny
acorn lying in the soft earth in
forest. Just a tiny, yellow acorn that
no one would ever notice, that the
wind blew off the branch when 1t
shook the tree.
Plumpl II fell down on the sod and
there IL lay buried under the leaves
with the SHOWS above II for covering
during the long winter. Then at last
spring came, the sun came out bright
iy and the ground felt warm as the
little acorn nestled down in the roots
of the grass. The gentle rains dripped
down on it till IL grew soft and swelled
and swelled and swelled till at last 1t
burst and wee shoot of green peeped
up through the soil.
How beautiful everything isl"
whispered the little acorn. $50 green
and the sky so blue! How lovely,
how lovely!"
Just above the tiny acorn shoot was
tree full of big, white blossoms
They hung in great clusters of fleecy
foam, the petals like snowhakes; and
the sweetness from their perfume
made the air as a rose garden. 1t
was locust tree in full bloom.
You say everything is beautiful?"
said the locust tree. "That is true,
but am the most beautiful of ALL See

Cuban Jute Substitute.

Malva fiber, the new Cuban substi-
tute for jute. is product OF malva
blanca tUrena lobata), a large and
troublesome weed. The report of Unit
ed States Special Agent Garrard Har-
ris shows that in the experiments OF
the last two years, the extraction has
been brought to a successful CONNER
cial stage; and the fiber, mixed with.
jute, has been used for the soles Of
cloth shoes. about twenty tons having
been sold last year at six cents Q
pound. The hope Of the process own
ers Is to make the material into the
100000 sugar sacks annually need
ed In Cuba. II 10 claimed that a 2A-
pound sack of malva fiber can be
profitably marketed at z to 10 CENTS.
while the normal cost OF jute sacks 10
16 to IS cents each, the wartime price
having risen to 25 to 30 cents.

WINTER SHELTER FOR SHEEP
Comfortable Shed Facing South Az
fords Ample Protection for AMI
mails During Winter Season.

A roomy shed facing the south, with
hard, dry earth floor, makes the
best shelter for sheep. Feed in racks
and tG0ughs; what straw is not eaten
should be used for bedding. The
manure should not accumulate as 1t
will produce footrot and other all
ments. A small quantity of flaxseed-
meal may be added to the grain ra-
ton. Second-crop clover. bright
corn fodder. wheat and oat straw may
be fed to advantage.
Ensilage is growing In favor as a
sheep food. The Wool Markets and
Sheep Reporter says: las sheep be-
come extremely fond OF ensilage. 1t is
necessary to feed small quantities of
It at the start, that they do not over
eat. Within a few weeks, however.
they may safely be given all they will
eat at each meal. Ensilage Is found
TO successfully take the place OF roots,
though care should be taken that IT is
properly prepared. II Is even better
In winter time than green corn Is In
summer. because the animals will eat
stalks and leaves up clean, and the
customary waste in stalks is saved"
A practical sheep farmer says:
"Sour ensilage made from. immature
corn is not safe food, as It is liable
to cause indigestion and stomach trou-
bles. Sweet ensilage, fed In small
quantities, in connection with oat and
wheat straw. and mixed hay, makes
an excellent feed. The flock master
must use Judgment in feeding his
flocks."

RIGHT MANAGEMENT OF BOAR
Animal Should Not Be Allowed TO Run
With Sows-Sure Way OF Reduo-
ing Number In Litter.
CBy II. NJ. coTTRELL)

The boar should serve SOW but
once, and two sows a day should be
the limit for a mature boar, and then
he should have days rest after every
second or third day. He should be
used before being fed. Handled in this
way, a mature boar is sufficient for 80
sows. Overservice results in pigs that
are dead, weak or puny at birth. Prob
ably the greatest cause OF pigs born
dead or born so weak that they soon
die, is allowing the boar to run with
the sows. 1t is sure way of reduc-
ing the number raised in a litter and
of reducing the profits.
A boar should not be used for much
service until he is at least twelve

CITY Without Private Houses.

In one respect-a point not so fat
tering to metropolitan complacency-
New York is unique among great
cities: Manhattan is a city without
private houses. In the last fifteen
years few private dwellings have been
built, except those OF millionaires. In
that same period thousands of the old
brown-stone fronts of previous gen
Grafton have been dismantled to make
way for tenements and apartments.
Forty years the city has been under
going a process of RECOMMENDATION.
New York is city almost exclusively
of tenements and apartments-that is
its most striking architectural and
social characteristic.

HAS he been useful? Has he ever

Has he an interest in the farming?
Does he own any live stock? Does his
father help the boy as cheerfully as

Girls and women with sallow skins,
liver spots. pimples or pallid complex
ions, also those who wake up with a
coated tongue, bad taste, nasty breath,
others who are bothered with head
aches, bilious spells. acid stomach or
constipation should begin this phos-
plated hot water drinking and are as
sured OF very pronounced results in
one or two weeks.
A quarter pound OF limestone phos-
plate costs very little at the drug
store but is sufficient TO demonstrates
that Just as soap and hot water
cleanses, purifies and freshens the skin
on the outside, so hot water and lime
stone phosphate act on the inside or

internal sanitation is vastly more Inn

cause the skin pores do not absorb

bowel pores do.

ly up at the big locust-yes. it was a
magnificent tree.
Il am the sweetest and prettiest
tree In the woods" continued the proud
locust. "And pray, what use are you
in the world?"
The little shoot hung its head.
What could r do7 Would 1t ever grow
into big, strong, pretty tree? 1t did
not know. Still it thought it would do
it's best and that was all one could do.
II am very small" 1t said, "and do
not yet know about what l will be
able to do. But whatever is my duty
that will do to the best of my pow
err"
SO the tiny shoot grew and grew.
The sun warmed 1t, the rain made the
earth soft and the wind tossed 1t about
to give It exercise In winter II kept
still, but every spring IL would begin
to climb, and at last 1t was quite a
big tree.
81 see you are going to be some
thing after ALL said the locust. Jeal-
ousiy. "But you will never get to
look as pretty or be of use in the
world like me-"
Maybe not" sang out the young
oak-for It was now an oak-"but
am going to do my best as long as |
grow"
So it kept on growing. The trunk
went up straight. the bark got thick,
the branches reached ont wide and
were covered with handsome leaves.
The birds and squirrels seemed to
love the friendly tree and made their
homes in its shade.
But the locust did not grow II
was getting old and it's scraggy limbs
broke off and Uttered the ground. One
day the farmer came into the woods
with an ak.
This old locust never was any
good" he exclaimed. "All it did was
to have few blossoms and then there
was lot of dead limbs dropping all
about. It was Just silly thing en-
numbering the ground. But 1t will
make fine fire for the kitchen stove. "
After a while two more men came
with a big saw. '"This is a fine oak, ;"
said the farmer, "and we will make II
into timber for masts OF ships. II
grows tall. straight and strong with.
out a flaw"
Then the great oak, which had once
been a tiny acorn, was glad-glad II
had kept on growing, glad 1t was to
be of use in the world. II would be
