Keep Windows Open All Time.

Get into the habit of living in a
house with all the windows open,
rain or shine-night and day. You
can't possibly get too much fresh air.
The very fact that people say their
houses are damp and chilly shows that
the windows have not been open
enough. says a prominent health au-
thority.
Damp houses come from not having
enough air to dry them out. Even on
the rainy days it were better to open
wide the windows and let the fresh air
In and even little rain-than to shut
the windows down. stopping the en-
trance of fresh air.
The healthiest people in the world
are the savages, and they live out of
doors in the rain as well as in the
sunshine. Don't be afraid of fresh air
at any time.

USE SPECIAL CARE
IN CURING ALFALFA
If Crop Has Been Cut and Still
Green, Best Not to Turn 1t !
While Wet With Rain.

Particular care should be used in
curing alfalfa under adverse weather
conditions, asserts r. X. Bennett, In
structor in crops in the Kansas State
Agricultural college.
If alfalfa has just been cut and is
still green, it is best not to turn 1t
when wet by rain. 1t should be left
in the swath until favorable weather
conditions prevail. Providing hay has
dried enough on top it should be
turned, preferably with side delivery
rake and allowed to dry in the wind
row. Allow the surface to become dry
before turning the alfalfa under and
keep turning until all the hay is dry
are important points to observe. If
hay has been punched and is wet by
rain, open up the lunches as soon as
the top is dry and allow sun and wind
to blow through it.
Under the weather conditions Of the
last few weeks, shocking hay Is good

HELPING HONEY BEE

Neglect to Provide Water Is as

In this humane treatment, but that II
should extend to bees may come as a
new thought to many.
Neglect to provide drink is as culpa-
BILE as to cut off the food supply and yet
the bees are in, many instances, who'll
ly disregarded in this respect.
Yet the insects pluckily shift for
themselves in such cases, and they may
be found congregated about the vilest
places. If they happen to contain mois-
ture, not because they do not prefer
venient to obtain.
You may have noticed how they in
variably flock about the watering
trough, If it happens to stand in the
neighborhood of the hives, showing
plainly that water is necessary, and
can you fail to appreciate how many
are drowned in this effort to get a

Is really wicked as well as wasteful to

keep the dish filed with water, plac-

Another hardship through pure neg

FALL FLOWING WILL
PROVE PROFITABLE
Puts Soil in Proper Condition for
Coming Season-Destroys
Grubs and CutWormS.
Bv I. M. BENN1NGToN.)

II will soon be time to demonstrate
to the amateur the value Of the late
blowing that the foresighted man did
during the late months of last year.
There is none Of the fancy natural
setting about the fall work that Is
found in the spring, but the man who
thought ahead and prepared his ground
will soon enjoy an advantage In the
form of a much earlier crop, and in
the satisfaction of having completed
the Job while he was at 1t that the
less energetic and thoughtful farmer
will not know.
During the first favorable days Of
spring the disk and harrow work will
be done, and the earth will be broken
with all Of the riches that the fall
work bestowed. There are so many
workers who do not understand the
value of this initial work that at the
opening of the new year the resolution
ought to be made to take leaf from
the book of experience and make this
year count on scientific lines.
The fall work will put the ground In
proper condition for the coming sea-
son. Grubs and cutwOrms and all
of the bug tribe that come to harrass
and annoy the farm worker will get
short shrift when the plow turns them
up to the mercies of the cold weather
that Is to follow. And then the vege-
table matter that is plowed under will
have time to decay and blend with the
soil thoroughly. Where the blowing
is done on rough, hilly soil the fur
rows viii catch and hold large
amount of moisture that would other
wise be lost by reason of the con-
formation of the ground.

European conflict from the British gov

Big BUSINESS men
Some Who Do a Days Work Be-
fore Breakfast.
Lord Rhondda and Lloyd George Of
England, Roosevelt and Rockefeller
Among Quick Thinkers.

Lord Rhondda, the food controller,
is one of the greatest business men
England has ever produced, London
Tit-Bits says. His lordship Is accus-
toned to commence his days work be-
fore he rises in the morning. From
then until the time when his dressing
is completed he is busy with various
problems, and upon many occasions
he has actually settled important mat
ters in connection with the department
at the breakfast table Thus, when he
arrives at his Office he has already
done what many men would consider
a good days work.
Perhaps no member of the win-tlle-
war government leads q more strenu-
Gus existence than it's leader, Lloyd
George. Always up before six in the
morning, he is busy even at breakfast
when he gives his attention to multi
tudinOus affairs of state. Although he
invariably spends his week-ends at his
charming house in the country, the
prime minister Is in constant touch
with 10 Downing street by telephone.
1t any important question arises during
his soiourn out of town, less than half
an hour finds the premier back at No.
10. This wonderful little Welshman
frequently makes an "all-night sitting"
in order to solve some problem of mo-
mentous Importance that has cropped
up"
Our foreign minister, Arthur Bal
four, is another expert at time saving.
He gets through large amount of cor
respondence every day during meals,
debating letters to his secretary be-
tween the courses. Although he is sell
dom seen In the house of commons
nowadays, 1t was invariably his prac-
tice before the war to compose his
speeches while listening to the debates.
Ex-President Roosevelt is another
celebrity who has reduced time saw
ing to fine art. He constantly takes
paper and pencil out with him when
he is riding on horseback, and at such
times decides upon his reply to diff
ficult question or outlines an article
for the press.
J. ID. Rockefeller believes in an econ
omy OF words. When he has an i'm
portant piece of business to negotiate,
he thinks out beforehand what is the
simplest and quickest way of getting 1t
through. Another man who had once
to negotiate an important oil deal with
him, one involving the transfers of
hundreds of thousands of pounds,
spent weeks in preparing for the final
momentous interview.
Mr.. Rockefeller walked into the
room where he was sitting with his
piles of papers. "How much?" he
asked. The man named a figure. though
almost surprised into dumbness by the
bluntness of the question. fright"
said the millionaire, and left the room,
thereupon handing over the other
party to some of his subordinates for
the completion of details, while he him
self gave his attention to other mat
tiers. 1T is part of his system Of saw
ing time that his mind and attention
shall only be occupied with the settle
ment Of principles, and that thereafter
the arrangement of details shall al
ways be taken in hand by his numcr-
GUS assistants, who are quite compe-
tent for the purpose.

stomach worms, and, thanks to the reg
ulations governing the interstate ship
ment of sheep, are free from sheep
scab or other communicable diseases.
They can ordinarily be purchased
through commission men on such CEN
trail markets as Chicago, Omaha, Kan
sas City, East st. Louis, st. Paul, st.
Joseph, etc., or direct from the range
breeders. Organizations interested in
effecting an increase in farm flocks
have arranged to sell Western ewes to
Eastern farmers at cost.
Regardless of how they are pur-
chased, the buyer should insist that the
stock be healthy, sound of teeth, and
have good udders and teats.

practice. Make small shocks that will
turn water. Leave until favorable
weather conditions prevail before put
ting in NOW or stack. Some of the
most progressive farmers use shock
covers but for the average farmer, the
original cost of these and the work re-
quired for their proper use, is prohibit
tive.
For hay to be safe for storage in
NOW the moisture content must be re-
duced to at least 20 per cent. This
point can be determined by taking
small wisp of hay and twisting. If no
moisture comes out and it breaks read
lily 1t can be safely stored.
Probably more alfalfa hay is stacked
in Kansas than is stored In sheds and
it is important that the stack be con-
struc.ed properly. In building cir
cular stack the sides should be given
fairly prominent bulge and the mid
die should be well tramped as more
hay is lost through poorly packed CEN
ters than in any other way. The top
should be fairly well rounded and
when settled should show good form.
If some marsh hay or slough can be
secured It is advisable to cover with
this in order to shed water and to pre-
vent excessive losses during rainy
weather and before the stack is well
settled.

THE VALUE OF POTATOES

"There is no food which exactly
takes the place of the potato when
one is accustomed to it," says q
statement issued by the United
States Department of Agriculture,
urging an increased consumption of
this vegetable now that the markets
of the country are well supplied.
at has come to be such a part of
our dinner tina we miss it when it is
not served. Besides, any leftover
potato can be used in many very
palatable ways for breakfast or sup
per, and this is a convenience from
the housekeeper's standpoint, since
it helps her to make palatable meals.
Not only is it useful from the ease
with which it can be prepared and
the number of palatable ways in
which it can be served, but it is very
important for the food material it
supplies. 1t is one of the most
wholesome sources of starch and is
also fairly rich in the mineral mat
ter which the body needs. OF the
mineral salts one must not overlook
the Importance of the mild alkaline
salts it contains, because these are
greatly needed by the body to coun-
terbalance the acid salts which meats
and eggs produce when assimilated.
In this we have a justification of the
use of potatoes in the diet in liberal
quantities and of our common Gus
tom of serving them with meats.
When the price permits, potatoes
should, by all means, be made a part
of the diet"
