Cliff and Cave Dwe!lers.

The cliff dwelers knew nothing of
tie use of metals. Their knives were
made from the bones of the deer, high
ly polished and very sharp. Their
household utensils consisted of pottery
jars and casks made of fiber and COW
cred with substance resembling mod
ern varnish. Although the earliest
cliff dwellers were prehistoric cave
ivers have existed in almost every
age of the world. The ancient HOrites
derived their name from their prac-
tice of living in caverns and subter-
ranean abodes.

Preserving Flowers.

A method of preserving the natu-
raj colors of flowers consists in dust
ing salicylic acid on the plants as they
lie in the press and removing 1T with
q brush when the flowers are quite
dry. Red colors in particular are well
preserved by this agent. Another meth
cd of applying the same preservatlve
is to use solution of one part OF
salicylic in fourteen of alcohol by
means of blotting-paper or cotton
wool soaked in it and placed above and
below the flowers. Powdered boracic
acid yields nearly as good results.

SALT REQUIRED BY ANIMALS
Place 1t in Boxes in Yard Where
1t Is Available.

Salt is required by all animals. The
cow requires an ounce or more day,
and while she should be given all she
more than she wants.
1t is best, therefore, to give only
small quantity in the feed, and to
place rock salt in boxes in the yard
where she can lick it at will.

HUMANITY AND THE LIB.
ERTY BOND

Never in history has such

of men have been killed or
wounded and millions in one
form or another crippled for life.
The progress that had bcon
made towards the elimination
of tuberculosis hus been check
cd and the white plague is nd
ding its hundreds of thousands
Of victims to the numbers of
the slain. Millions of innocent,
helpless old men, women and
little children have suffered and
multitudes Of them have died
in massncrcs or from famine
and disease. TO all this ply
steal suffering must be added
the mental anxiety and dis
tress of hundreds of thousands
of peoples whose nations are
engaged in this fearful strife.
The sum total of human misery,
death, destruction aud devas-
tation is beyond all magma
ton.
TO help bring this awful con,
dition to an end is the duty and
privilege of every man, woman
and child in America. Civil
ization turns TO this great ua-
tion as it's savior from the spirit
of militarism, which il SO large

Everyone who subscribes to

strife; in the lessening Of the

The Meat Question

The present exhorbitant pric-
es of meat, together with the
reported scarcity Of hogs and
cattle, should cause the farm.
ers of this country some concern
for the future. True, the scar
city is not 80 great in this coun-
try as in others, but on the 9TH
or hand our export demands are
Unfortunately heavy. 1t is esti
mated that since the war began
there has been a decrease in
the worlds meat producing
animals of ll5, 100000 head.
This has had its logical effect.
Taken all around, this coun-
try has increased its supply of
meat producing animals; but,
as we have stated, the demand
on ms has also increased many
times. Exports Of meat from
this country are nearly three
times MS large now as during
the period Immediately proceed.
ing the war.
Now 1t is perfectly evident
that if we are to continue to
the heavy demand upon our re-
sources we will be compelled to
conserve the source of supply.
In plain words, we must bend
our energies to breeding more
live stock of all kinds.
The feeding season is close at
hand, and the farmers and
stock growers will soon begin
to sort out the stock that is to
lgo to the slaughter. In this
sorting, care should DO taken
that all likely females be saved.
With tho present high prices,
the temptation should be re-
sisted. Each man should study
for the future, and do his best
TO keep up the available SUP
ply. During the past two or
three years many good breeding
animals have been sacrificed
that, if kept, would now put
their owners on easy street.
All authorities agree that there
Is absolutely no danger of pric-
cs falling TO any great extent
for some years to come, So that
each grower should plan to get
the most increase possible out
OF all his animals.
| Another ruinous practice that
should be stopped, by law if
necessary, is the practice of
Strengthening very young ami.
mails, particularly calves and
lambs. The waste of material
il too great to be countenanced
under the present conditions.
lfall the calves, pigs aud lambs
in this country are allowed to
grow to maturity it will go a
long way toward remedying the
present great shortage.
But above all things do not
destroy the source of supply
the females. Intelligent etten.
ton to this detail is absolutely
necessary if our meat supply is
TO be kept up TO the great de.
mand that will continue TO be
made upon i, for some time TO
come.
