How to Burn Gas Coke.

Kindle the fire in the usual way and
your furnace with an even body of
coke.
Keep a large body of coke under a
slow fire rather than little coke un-
der a strong draught.
Close draughts and let fire burn
slowly. If the draught in your fur
mace is especially strong it may be
advisable to open the furnace door
slightly Keep a layer of ashes on
the CRATE. When shaking stop as soon
as hot Goals appear. Often a little
poking is better than shaking
To bank fire at night fill fire box
heaping full, adjust damper to
strength of chimney draught and
throw on small nut coke or a little
ashes to fill up the spaces. Keep
down the draught. Coke burns hot
and under strong draught it melts the
ashes. Clinkers come from melted
ashes not from impure coke. Study
your furnace. Gas coke burned &C
cOrding to these instructions is the
cheapest and best fuel you can buy.
1t will help you cut fuel expenses.
Farmers who have never tried gas
coke will find it to their advantage
to test this fuel in stoves, heating
plants or in any place where a good
steady fire is needed

PREPARE SHEEP AND LAMBS
Fitting and Showing of Superior Types
of Farm Animals Is of Great
Value to Industry.
CBy G. G.. HUMPHREY


Fitting live stock and 81 owing it at
fairs and expositions. has become an
established custom in countries where
improved live stock is maintained.
Beginning with the district or county
fair, where the show is of local in
terest, and passing to the larger shows
of state, national and international
scope, the fitting and showing OF
superior types of farm animals is OF
great value and Importance to the live
stock industry. 1t impresses upon the
minds of all who see the exhibits
knowledge of the types and breeds
of farm animals adapted to various
purposes, and demonstrates the posi-
bilities in well bred and well selected
animals when brought to the very
best condition by proper feeding and
fitting.
To promote this means of educa
ton, state fairs, associations and often
times individuals directly or indirectly
benefited, offer liberal prizes to en-
courage breeders to spend their time,
energy and means in fitting their
animals for shows. Exhibitors, how
ever, are usually benefited most by the
art and skill which they develop in
selecting and feeding their animals
and from the publicity they derive
from showing them. To be able to
show superior animals is the best kind
OF advertising a stockman can en-
ploy Such advertising is more to be
sought after than the prize money Of
fered as premiums. On the other
hand, poorly selected and fitted ami
mails detract from the educational
features Of the show ring, misrepre-
sent and injure the breed represented,
give the owner a poor reputation as
a breeder and discourage, rather than
encourage, onlookers in selecting and
rearing better live stock. Too much
emphasis cannot be placed, therefore,
upon carefully selecting and fitting
animals which are to serve for show
purposes.
Well fitted animals exhibited in the
show ring, especially fat breeding ami
mails of meat producing types, are fire
quently condemned by farmers and
breeders yho have never fitted and

months ending December 81. last,
shows a satisfactory increase of over

The total improvement compared with

TediOusnesS of Lying.

1t would be a great good fortune for
President Wilson if he could destroy
all printed copies of his written or
spoken utterances. Out of his own
mouth and from his own pen comes
his condemnation.
In his speech before the Motion
Picture Board of Trade at New York,
January %, 1916, President Wilson
said:
1T is very tedious to hear men lie,
particularly when you know they are
lying"
That was late in the evening. An
hour earlier he had opened his ad-
dress to the Railroad Business Asso-
citation with these words:
1.-The exactions of my official duties
have recently been so great that it has
been very seldom indeed that / could
give myself so great pleasure as that
which | am enjoying tonight"
That excuse. "exactions of official
duties" given to an audience that is
fully aware of mis- prolonged daily alb
sences form the executive offices while
motoring, golfing, yachting and pur-
suing other forms. of social pleasure,
was an astounding pretext form a man
who finds it tedious to hear men ly-
ing, particularly when you know they
are lying" His denunciation of liars
was no less remarkable in view of
his assurances to the members of the
Civil Service Reform League that as
, President he would uphold the spirit
of the merit system, and his promises
to the American people that in govern
mental business he would pursue a
policy of 'pitiless publicity"

If George w. Perkins and such Pro-
gressives as he controls are really de-
sirous of doing all that they honor
ably can to secure an identical candi-
date and platform for both Republi
cans and Progressives, we cannot see
why Mr. Perkins should not embroi-
der his action with as many resOund-
ing declarations of principle as he
pleases. The main thing, the practi-
cal thing, is to unite all forces to rid
the country Of an administration
which has, as Mr. Perkins says,
brought so much discredit to the coun-
try.

Gus that the bleachers and finishers
are expected to give the same increase

and pertinacity of the Gregorys con-

into it, bound for the sculptor's house.
Ever since early summer il had been

she had seen him first. working among
