LATE MATCHED CHICKS.

The principal reason late haiched
chicks are usually a failure aud usual.

because OF yermin that flourish apace
during said heat and because they nsu-

Profit In Late Beans.

On account Of too much rain and
cold weather our garden bean crop
first planted In the spring OF 1916 was
hopeless, writes a correspondent Of the
Farm and Fireside. The weather con-
tlnued so unfaYorable our last planting
was not made until the middle Of Au-
gust. when four rows Of beans were
planted three rods long. From this
planting we gathered thirty gallons 10
can. beside supplying the family with
green beans The vines were also wen
filed with small beans when frost
came. To get such good results from
so late a planting we encouraged the
growth by good tillage. This result
with late planted beans will encourage
as to follow the same plan in future
years.

Just this: Use of the best brains avail

The army's need for a general staff
is not so recent as our civilian igno-
rance Of what war IS leads US to sup
pose. 1t is-to army men- very far
cry from the Indian fighting and Phil
ippine fighting warfare which TO you
and me until 1914 war signitied. Our
devoted service men land a very few
thinkers among the political leaders,
realized many years ago that war Is
not any longer a matter of policing a
few tuberculous bands of Indians.
1t is not just since Aug. 4, 1914, that
our army men have been aware that
war demands officers practiced In
maneuvering with large fleets or large
troop units, demands an organization

partment manned aud managed as
soundly as a railroad company, calls
for signal corps, field railroad building
corps, engineer corps, air service corps
OF men highly trained and used TO
working together under military dis
cipline. Elihu Root recognized this.
1t is due to his efforts that the general
staff corps OF the United States army
was formed. That corps has never ex-
ceeded fifty officers. A larger corps
would have required larger appropria-
lions, and our congress. which is the
body that decides upon this highly i'm
portant matter, had other plans for
spending.
The peace value Of the general staff
is--if that be possible-even greater
than its value in war. By doing its
duty Of bringing the material-the
guns, supply of shells and everything
else, from aeroplanes to intrenchine
tools-and the personnel-officers and
troops--up to the highest point Of eff

Hoecakes and Their Origin.

The hoecake is the most common
form OF corn bread found In the south.
Ii was named by the southern slaves
In early slavery times. The women
slaves hoed cotton and rice by the task.
When task WINS begun in the morn
ing it was completed before going back
home. Sometimes they would get hun
cry: then the hoe was detached from
the helye. fire started and hoecake
was cooked then and there upon the
hoe Ii was discovered by the plant
ers that meal cooked thus was palata-
bic. and the hoecake was henceforth
made part and parcel of a complete
plantation dinner
For hoecake take one pint of sifted
meal, one-half teaspoonful of salt: add
lard or fried meat grease and mix with
enough lukewarm water TO form thiu
paste. Spread on hot and greasy
griddle. Bake both sides brown. Serve
hot with vegetables, fish, bacon. pork,
etc.
