TAKE PRIDE IN MORSE ORIGIN
Natives Of Orkney Islands Refuse to,
Admit That They Arc Of Scot
tish Blood.

Miss Elinor Root, who has been WIS.,
iting the 1ittle-known Orkney islands,
tells US that the natives are very
proud Of their Morse origin, indignant
ly repudiating the idea that their for
bears were Scottish.
People do not speak here with
nearly SO broad an accent as the peo-
pie in Scotland" Miss Root remarked
to her hostess, "and I notice the names
do not sound Scotch-Cutt, Twatt,
Flett, Cursitor, and so on. How Is
that?"
My hostess stiffened visibly.
They are not Scotch. We are not
Scotch. We did not come from Scot
land. Have ye never heard OF the
Ncrsemen from beyond the seas? We
are the descendants of them. We are
not OF Scotch blood. Ye do not call
the Irish English; ye're not to call us
Scotch!"
"I beg your pardon" returned hum
bly,, and to change the subject,
plunged into the theme Of afforesta'
tion. The venture was an, unfortunate
one, as trees refuse to grow in the
islands.
"Trees spoil the scenery" declared
my hostess. 1--WE would not have them
if we could. If We go to the southland,
We cannot see anything Of the scenery
for the trees. We like to see scenery.

Cut Your Store Bill
Down One Half

Tens Of thousands of farmers, as wen as
town and city folks cut down their store
bills one-half last year and saved money
in spite of generally short crops and re-
duced wages
Absolutely millions Of dollars were
saved and countless families lived better
than ever before in the face of the cotton
crisis and general business depression.
How were these burdensome store bHis
cut down? By the real money-saving
power of good home gardens, rightly
planted and kept planted and tended
through the season.
Hastings 1916 Seed Catalogue tells how
to cut store bills down; tells about gar
den and farm seeds of kinds and quail
ity that cannot be bought from your mer-
chant or druggist. It's full of garden and
farm information. It's free if you ask
for It. Write for it now. Il. G. HASTINGS

Mesa Verde Prophets.

The season so far verifies the wealth
.er predictions Of the Indians who oc-
casionally visit the Mesa Verde ma
tional park in southwestern Colorado
for trading purposes, but who never
stay an hour longer than is necessary,
because Of their dread of the little
people" who they believe still in
habit, in spirit form, the prehistoric
cliff dwellings that have made the
Mancos valley famous the world over.
Last fall the Mesa Verde prairie dogs
deserted their villages for new ones,
and the Indians have been shaking
their heads over it all winter. Rain,
much rain" they say; rain all sum-
mer." So far they seem to have pre-
dicted right. And now they are again
shaking their heads. Gold, much
cold," they say; "bad winter coming"
And why? Because this summer
game has been unusually plentiful on
the Mesa Verde. Deer are more fire.
quently seen than for years. Rab-
bits and hares are so numerous one
can scarcely go about without seeing
them in large numbers. Coyotes and
mountain liens are also unusually
plentiful, which may be explained by
the abundance of the small game on
which they live.

LAMENT ABSENCE OF GENIUS
Frenehmen Wonder That Great War
Has Not Produced Literary Man
OF Great Ability.

That the epoch 1914-15 has not pro-
duced single genius in France is
made the occasion for comment by the
French journal, LIE Cri de Paris.
I'm fact" says the Cri, ut appears
that the stars In our literary heav-
ems have been growing pale for some
time. But the time has produced an
astonishing, almost miraculous phe-
nomenon. Certain works already an
cient, of which the authors are dead,
have suddenly become noted as in
comparable, which before were not
considered so beautiful. It is the war
that all at once has revealed their
splendor, and today they evoke uni
versal enthusiasm. One may count
them upon the fingers, for there are
but four Of them: A poem. a piece of
music, q sculpture and painting.
"The poem is the hymn Of Victor
Hugo, The Devoted Ones Who Died
for Their Country Few French knew
it before the war; now everyone
knows it by heart, or pretends to know
it. The piece of music is The Mar
ceillaise.' The young people imag-
ined 1t was ritournelle, nero -four

a masterpiece. The sculpture Is the

which was great has become very

has become small, very small"

! Produce the infertile eggs.
Infertile eggs are produced by hens
having no male bird with them.
Removing the male bird has no in
fluence on the number Of eggs laid
by hens.
The hens greatest profit-producing
period is the first and second years,
and unless a hen is an exceptionally
good breeder she should be disposed
of at the end Of her second laying
season and before starting TO mott.
Few eggs can be expected until the
pullets are matured.
If possible, mark the pullets that
lay in the fall, and use them in the
breeding pen for the following spring.
Soft-shelled eggs are often caused
by fowls being confined, becoming
overfat, and from lack of mineral
matter.

the radiometer, among other valuable

books on such diverse subjects as
beet sugar, dyeing, calico printing and

FARM
POULTRY
MIXTURE FOR LAYING FOWLS
Scatter Equal Parts of Cracked Corn,
Wheat and Oats in Litte-Make
Hens Exercise.

| In order to obtain eggs 1t is neces-
sary to have healthy, vigorous stock,
properly fed.
A splendid mixture for laying hens
Is equal parts of cracked corn, wheat,
and oats, which should be scattered
in the litter.
Bran or middlings and beef scraps
should be kept in receptacles to which
the fowls have access at all times.
Plenty Of exercise increases the
egg yield.
Provide four or five inches of good,
clean litter in which to scatter the
grain.
Cabbages, nangels, potatoes, sprout-
ed oats, etc., make excellent green
feed.
When wet mashes are fed be sure
they are crumbly and not sticky.
For the first three days chicks may
be fed mixture of equal parts hard
boiled eggs and stale bread, or stale
bread soaked in milk. When bread
and milk are used. care should be ex-
ercised to squeeze all milk out OF the
bread. From the third or fourth day
until the chicks can eat wheat and
cracked corn, commercial chick feed
is a good ration.
Plenty of pure, fresh water, grit,
shell, and green feed should be avail.
able from the first day.
There is very little danger Of over
feeding young stock.
Feed the chickens about five times
daily and only what they will eat up
clean in few minutes, except at
night, when they should receive all
they want.

A delicious combination when one
desires something especially dainty is
creamed celery with shredded al.

add cooked, tender celery and the al

Baked Ham.-The Swedish people
use the following covering over ham
while baking. Take two cupfuls Of

one egg and dash Of pepper and salt
to season, spread over the ham before
baking. It forms a delicious crust and

CHICKENS NEED GREEN FOOD
Cabbage Tied to Stake Is Excellent
| Long stuff Is Liable to Cause
Trouble With Hens.

When green food is given to hens in
confinement it should always be cut
or chopped fine. A cabbage tied to
a stake is excellent, but a variety is
better.
White clover, red clover, lawn grass,
tops of vegetables, or even young
corn fodder, will be relished by the
hens if chopped into short lengths so
that they can easily eat it.
Long food sometimes causes the
hens to become crop bound.
