SWEET TOOTH Is EXPENSIVE
Confectionery and Chewing Gum Pro-
dueed In United States In One
Year Valued at $17o,845, 900.

1t costs approximately $17O.OO0.0OO

was S17O.S45,OOO and represented an
increase of 26.7 per cent over the out
put In 1909. which was valued ut only
S134. 10000.

gum alone In 1914 was 81, $4,000.

BE CAUTIOUS WITH ALFALFj
Not Advisable to Feed Hay In Laret
Quantities to Brood Mares-Great
Danger Of Bloat.

It is not well to feed alfalfa hay IN
too large quantities to brood mares

ton should be taken. Horses tend te

tured.
The danger Of bloating in horses Il

foal, which are likely to Overeat. These
precautions are not necessary in feed
ing alfalfa to cattle and, in fact, thu
green alfalfa hay is very desirable fol
dairy cattle. Good results have beer
obtained in feeding brood mares b!
limiting their alfalfa to One-third o.
the total amount Of roughage fed Il

fore, having nothing to sell, have been
left to themselves, with the result
that, although natives of islands only
100 miles away have advanced to the
stage OF sewing machines, gramo-
phones and other articles of modern
civilization, the natives of Rennell
and BellOna, when Mr.. WOodford Wis
ited them few years ago, were eager
for scrapiron Of every sort, old nails,
and especially fishhooks; and SO little
was known about the islands that even
the native names for them had not
been accurately determined. Immi.

Asia. far from having ceased, is at
present going on at a rate probably
greater than during the old Polynesian

PREPARE SOIL FOR LEGUMES
Trouble Experienced in Getting Stand
of Alfalfa, Glover, Peas, ETC.,
on New Land.

Legume crops (clOver, alfalfa, peas,
etc.) are among the most valuable of
farm crops. Trouble is experienced
at times. however, in growing them in
new agricultural districts or regions
where legumes have not been grown
before. This difficulty Ofttimes is due
to the absence of the necessary tu-
bercle bacteria from the soil in Ques-
tion. The practice should be followed,
therefore, of inOculating the soil or
seed when any of these crops are
grown upon ground which has never
grown the crop before.
This inOculation may be made by
the use of soil from field In which
the legume has grown. This soil
should be obtained from the old le-
gume field and distributed over the
field to be sOwn in legumes at the
rate of approximately 800 pounds per
acre, and at once narrowed or disked
in. This operation should take place
during the morning or evening, or upon
cloudy day.

MOST PROFITABLE FARM JOB
Many Farmers Cultivate Alfalfa
After Every cuttino-Profit Re-
turned in Following Crops.

One Of the most profitable jobs on
the farm is cultivating the alfalfa
fields. A good many farmers cultivate
after every cutting, and find that 1t
pays big dividends In the following
crops. Cultivation roots out the weeds
and grass, lOOsens up the ground, and
the alfalfa responds by making an in
creased growth.
The best implement for cultivating
alfalfa is the spring-tOOth harrow. 1t
tears out the weeds and lOosens the
soil without injuring the alfalfa
crowns. The disk harrow is fairly
good tool for alfalfa cultivation, but
there will be more or less injury to
the crowns when using 1t.
Whatever tool you use, cultivate the
alfalfa. 1t is crop that will pay
literally for all the labor spent upon 1t.

Natal grass hay is Of such recent

that which is bright in color and well

but they are difficult to keep clean and

construction Is to use lumber II inches
wide for the floor of the nests, arraug-
ing each floor so that it will slide on

tiers against the rear wall Of the pen,

Women In Ancient Greece.

In HOmeric times. as In later Sparta,
1t is true. the wife had considerable
freedom and respect; but even Homer
ic heroes gave away their daughters
and scores of other women as bribes
or prizes. each woman being reckoned,
as in modern Zululand, ut so many
oxen or copper cauldrons.
In later Greece the nOblest minds
saw further. Plato proclaimed equal
association for all women with men,
and opportunity according to their
physical strength. Aristotle defined
marriage as a community Of life a. q
whole.
The cry of AristOphanes for "vOtes

TREATMENT OF COLLAR GALL

any drug store and is easily applied by
rubbing lightly over the collar every
morning and evening If the horse Is
working.
Collar gals usually appear either at
tie top of the neck or at the point OF
the shoulder where an improperly-fit'
ted collar rubs. 1t is important that
the collar be kept clean at all times
in order that it may be kept from cut
ting into the neck, but special care In
keeping 1t clean is necessary after
these gals start. IAN ounce of pre-

True Genjalltv.

There is always something to be
learned from those we meet. To be
genial does not mean to tell all of ones
affairs to everyone. Nor does 1t in
clude making intimate companions Of
everyone about him. 1t does mean to
have kindness In ones heart to all
the world, to have a desire to carry
sunshine, to give warmth and bright.
ness, to be constantly filled with the
desire to make the world happier and
better. 1t is not the great things of
life that tend most to happiness. 1t is
the little daily, almost unnOticed things
that count most. No kindness In
thought or deed is too small to do
good to some one. If to no one else,
at leasf In making ones own heart
more tender it is worth while. And no
one ever sees the last result of a kind
act. Cultivate the genial spirit and
you will be storing up happiness.
Sowing seeds of kindness brings a sure
harvest.
