turns From Chicago With Bride to- Be.
Albert I.assen. of this city, and Miss
Effie Mccain. aged 10, ,bride-to be and
very. very, hopeful Of being bride.
stepped from Northwestern Chicago
train this morning. Later in the day
Lassen applied for marriage license
but failed to have a. witness with him
so he was denied. He had not re-
turned with the witness up to mid
afternoon. To-" h%f az .'
Soon after the couple reached here
kilograms telling of how they came to
know and love each other and yearn
for matrimonial bliss, began arriving
from Chicago. One Of these says:
albert Lassen. who came here from
Marshalltown hunting wife, after
finding his sweetheart had another
beau son the string speedily found a
candidate thru a story printed in a
morning paper. Miss Effie. Mccain.
aged 10. was introduced to him. The
liking was mutual and last night they
left for Marshalltown intending to
marry there" '.-'.,3$S.
Another makes this blunt inquiry:
did Albert Lassen and Miss Effie
MCCAIN get married in youyHcity to-
day?' And thus has the adventurous
Albert been rewarded with brideto-
be and fame and newspaper notoriety.

seat OF government Of the United
States to the Raccoon Forks Of the
Des Moines river The motion was
tabled indefinitely, but the committee
on agriculture, In reporting on GER
tain petition, ventured the opinion
with an air Of badinage that when
your committee takes into considera-
ton the growing importance of the
country about the Raccoon Forks of
the Des Moines river, and compares
the same with the District Of Column
bia, they can not refrain from ex-
pressing their belief that altho our

Treatment Of Walls.

If molding is liked from which to
hang the pictures that do so much to
make our rooms homelike, the best
height for the molding is In line with
the top Of the doors. The modern idea
seems to be to bring the window wood
work to the floor by using a paneling
beneath the sill, and to carry the tops
of doors and windows to fixed line
the molding line. Thus the walls are
divided into rectangular spaces, and
the decorative effect of good paper
Ia enhanced A plain paper has the
dignity of a panel when SO used.

CLEAN THE DAIRY UTENSILS
First Rinse With Cold Water to Re-
move Milk Particles-When Pos
sibie Place in Sunlight.

Milk utensils should first be rinsed
with cold water to remove all particles
of milk, then thoroughly scrubbed
with brush in warm water to which
a little good washing powder has been
added. They should be steamed or at
least rinsed in boiling water. No wip-
ing cloth should come in contact with
them after scalding. When possible,
all utensils should be placed in good
sunlight and pure air.
The separator, Of course, must also
be cleaned thoroughly, No one should
place any confidence In the claim that
separators wash themselves by simply
running water through them. Washing
a separator is not a difficult task If
done soon after separating. The water
for washing should be warm, but not
enough TO cook the curd.

Among the statelier and proudest
of the members of Americas flower
family, none excelS the large blue flag,
which also wears the name of blue
iris and fleur-de-lis. Ruskin calls it
the flower of chivalry, which has a
sword for its leaf and a lily for it's
heart. Longfellow pronounces it "a
flower born in the purple, to Joy and
pleasance" 1t blooms in the wet,
rich marsh and meadow from May to
July and finds its home from New
foundland and Manitoba to Florida
and Arkansas. The flag flower must
look to the insect world entirely for
its propagation, particularly to the
bees as its pollen carriers. So tputs
forth a flower that is blue tinted, for
its experience has taught it that a
bee can be wooed with blue better
than with any other color.
The total value of crop production
in the United States in 1915 is esti-
mated at about $6,471, 100000, as COM
pared with $5,929,OOO,OOO in 1914, an
Increase of per cent. The estimate
of value of animal products for 1915
is $3,S49,0 100000, as compared with
$S,783,000,000 for 1914, an increase of
2 per cent. The gross value of crops
and livestock products is thus esti-
mated at $1O,321, 100000 for 1915, as
compared with $9,713,OOOOOO for
1914, an increase of 6 per cent. The
farm production of forest products is
estimated at S195,OOO,0OO in 1915 and
about the same in 1914.

MINERAL MATTER is NEEDED
Material for Making Bone and Feath-
ers and Formation of Egg Shells
Must Be Supplied.

All of the grains contain what ia
called ash, which supplies material for
the making of egg shells. While the
chicks are growing they also demand
mineral matter for the making of
bone and feathers. If the hens can
not find enough lime to supplement-
that found in the grain they eat, some
form of lime must be given. A hen
laying 100 eggs year will require 1.6
pounds of mineral matter for the
shells. A high-laying hen ordinarily
cannot find enough lime in the yard
to supply the demand. Oyster shells
are cheap source of lime. They con-
tain about 90 per cent of lime.
Dry ground bone contains about 49
per cent of carbonate of lime, and has
other value in addition to the mineral
matter it supplies. Ground bone is es-
pecially good for growing chicks.

GUARD AGAINST WHEAT RUST
Department of Agriculture Issues
Warning Against Use of Seed
From Western States.

All farmers east Of the one hundred
and fourth meridian, which runs near
Cheyenne and Denver, are urged by
the department of agriculture not to
purchase for seed any wheat grown
west of that line. A very destructive
rust of cereals, known as stripe rust,
has been found in this country, but
thus far it is known to occur only
west of the one hundred and fourth
meridian. The spores of this particu-
lar kind of rust may be distributed
on the seed of grain; hence the pre-
caution against using seed from re-
gions where the rust exists. The ship
ment of wheat for milling may dis
seminate this rust along the rights of
way of railroads, but that is some
thing that is very difficult to eoatrOl.

of each layer of concrete which is
placed on top of another layer that
has set up and hardened. To make
the joint as tight as possible the top
surface of the old concrete must be
specially treated.
The operation for treating the sur
face is as follows: Scrape off all dirt
and scum from the old surface, pick it
with a pick or scrub it thoroughly
with wire brush or horse currycomb,
in order to remove all surface mortar
and scum and leave a very rough sur
face. To make the bond between this
cleaned surface and the new concrete,
wet it thoroughly, soaking it we'll, place
6 one-fourth-inch to One-half-inch layer
of one part cement to one part sand,
or, better still, a layer of pure cement,
on the cleaned surface, and before this
has set or begun to stiffen place the
new concrete upon 1t.

They Are Not Difficult of Construction

Concrete tanks, If properly built.
are superior in all RESPECTS to anv
other kind of tank for storing water.
Ihey are easy to clean, and do not
rot or rust. The concrete mixture
should be in proportions one part CO.
ment TO one and half parts clean hut
rather fine sand, to three parts

tank, in order to withstand water
pressure and not leak is best built by
laying the concrete without stopping.
Even then there are other essential
things, which, if disregarded, will pro-
uuce leaky tank. The concrete must
De mixed so wet that it will flow over
anc around the metal re-enforcements
ana against the forms. The materials
Ior the concrete must be very carefully
proportioned and the stones small
enough to pass a Observation-Disclosures
mesh screen. A concrete made by
using very clean screened gravel makes
a densor concrete than broken stone.
1t flows into place better, and is not
SO apt to have voids and stone pockets
which let the water through.
Square tanks do not stand water
pressure so well as round, because
the sides tend to bulge, but they are
all right If not more than four feet
deep and eight feet square.
Sometimes tanks are constructed by
filling one or two sections of forms
each day, letting it set overnight and
continuing the next day. This is a
bad practice, because it is readily seen
that a joint is formed on the surface
