Mot q Mnnd Maatar.

Sir William Grant, the learned mas
ter Of the rolls, was a native Of the
county Of Banff and for q considerable
time represented that county In par
hament. Though a forcible and easy
speaker, scarcely inferior to any Of his
time at the bar or in parliament, he
was q remarkably silent man, says the
Farm and Home. He was the most
patient Of judges. The story Is well
known of his hearing an elaborate ar
gument for two days on the meaning
Of an act Of parliament and when the
counsel finished EN9ly saying, Gen
tlemen, the act Is repealed" On one Of
his visits to Banff he rode out q few
miles into the country, accompanied by
q few friends. The only observation
that escaped from him was In passing
q field Of peas. VERY fine peasT'
Next day he rode out with the same
cortege and was equally silent, but on
passing the same spot he muttered,

A Duel In Balloons.

It was In 1908 that Mile. Tfrevit
graced the footlights of the Imperial
Opera at Paris. She attracted many
men, especially one NJ. de Grandpre
and another, NJ. lie Pique. They be-
came jealous Of each other and decid-
ed that a duel was the only way out
Of their predicament. It was to be q
duel without hatred, and so they post
poned the great event for one month.
Meanwhile they came to the conclu-
sion that an ordinary duel wouldn't do
at all and hit upon the idea of fighting
In the air. So they ordered two bal
looms constructed exactly alike and on
the night of June % settled their af-
fairs In anticipation Of the great event
upon the morrow. At the appointed
hour each man entered his balloon
armed with a blunderbuss, and at a
signal the ropes were cut, and up they
went. They were to fire at the bal
looms, not at each other. At height
Of half q mile in the air NJ. de Grand
pre- sent a ball through NJ. lie Pique's
balloon, and the latter was dashed to
pieces. The other landed safely sew
eral hours later.

Washington. - Aeroplanes are the
eyes Of an army. Without aeroplanes
the guns cannot see where to fire, the
soldiers where to go. Without aero
planes the enemies forces and the dis
ribution thereof, their reserves and
their supplies, their lines Of communi-
cation and their railroads are alike
unknown. Consequently, without aero
planes our troops will fight in dark
ness, as blind men would fight. They
will be killed in darkness, as blind men
would be killed, says Porter Emerson
Browne of the Vigilantes.
It is no more fair to ask soldiers to
90 out and fight without aeroplanes
than it would be to send them out
without guns, or ammunition, or food,
or shoes, or hospitals, or surgeons.
Aeroplanes have become perhaps the
most important part of the equipment
Of an army today. This France and
England and Germany alike have rec
ognized. If the United States should
fail to recognize this, it will pay dear

And this is not all. AS aeroplanes

It can be, but 1t cannot as yet be

On land armies can be locked for

On one frontier, and one frontier
aone, is Germany unprotected, open
and vulnerable. That is the air.
And it is to this frontier that the
United States, struggling into war I'M
ready and unequipped, should turn its
face.
For, as scouting aeroplanes have be-

Save Eve Lambs.

Save every eve lamb possible for
breeding is the urgent message the
United States Department of Agri-
culture is sending to sheep owners.
Market or slaughter only those alb
solutely worthless for breeding stock.
There is a strong demand among
farmers for breeding stock, and
owners of eve lambs should have no
trouble finding a breeding market
for them through county agents or
the State agricultural colleges. Sheep
specialists of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture believe that
although prices for breeding stock
now are high, those who start pro-
duction of wool and mutton on
moderate scale will have no cause to
regret purchasing breeding stock at
present figures.

days when John d. Rockefeller, Jr.,
was only a boy and din't have any
troubles aside from speculation as to
whether he was to have more than
one plate of ice cream for desert. he
was wont to jump on his pony and
gallop up along the banks of the
Hudson River.
When he had reached a high
knoll almost al the end of Manhat-
tan, from which he could view the
Palisades for many miles, he would
stop and say:
Some day I'm going to buy all
this land around here and give it TO
the city so that everybody can enjoy
it. This is a view everybody ought
to see."
Queer dream for a boy to have,
but it is soon to become a reality.
Mr.. Rockefeller has bought a strip
running about two-thirds of a mile
along the river for 100000 and
has offered it to the city OF New
York. Actual acceptance by city Off
cials is all that prevents the consum-
nation of the dream whereby the
public will be enabled to enjoy the
view everybody ought to see."
1t is, at that, a view to be re-
membered with a broad sweep on the
north along the Hudson to the crest
of Storm King Mountain and south
ward for many mile. The dfty-Odd
acres purchased by Mr.. Rockefeller
are about the highest in New York
and form a link that will make al

Hudson River from Seventy-second

oses.

Save In Harvesting.

Conservation of grain through eff
cient methods of harvesting, includ-
ing stacking wherever labor condi-
tions permit, is recommended to
farmers by Assistant Secretary OF
Agriculture Carl Vrooman.
1.-THE Nation needs every head OF
grain that can be raised this sum-
mer," declared Mr.. Vrooman. Effort
must be made to save every ounce
of wheat, oats, and rye at the harvest
Each year hundreds, if not thousands
of bushels of grain are ruined in re-
gions where midsummer rains occur,
because it is allowed to remain on
the ground a prey to the weather.
Keen in mind that bushel of wheat
will furnish bread for one person
for about Is days.
Harvesting machinery should be
adjusted so that there is as little
loss as possible in cutting. Care
should be taken also to harvest all
grain clearly in the corners, along
the edges of the fields, and in lodged
spots.
more than unusual attention
should be given to shocking in order
that there may be as little waste as
possible from exposure to the weather
If at all practicable, the grain, should
then be stacked as soon as it is cured
in the shock. Shocks of bound or
headed grain should be built care
fully so that they will shed water.
Every blade saved equals blade pro-
duced.
"In threshing, special attention
should be given to the adjustment of
the concaves and of separating ma
chinery, TO make sure that none of
the grain is lost with the straw and
chaff,"

Brood Sows.


The practice of having brood sows
produce two filters a year, as fol-
lowed in some of the hog-raising Sec
lions of our country, should be en-
couraged, except where short seas
/ ons and severe winter weather pre-
vent, the swine specialists of the
Unitd States Department of Agricul-
ture advise.
Sows intended to farrow fall filters
should be bred not later than the end
of June. Those that are in breeding
condition after weaving their spring
litter should be bred the first time
they come in heat. There are genral-
" a few SOW in the herd that are thin
and run down in condition after
weaving, and these should be fed a
little heavier for a few weeks be-
fore breeding to insure large litter
in the fall. The date of breeding
should be recorded so as to determine
the date of farrow. The CESSATION
period of "a sow is 112 to lis days.
The sows should be watched closely
to see if they come in heat after they
are once bred, so that they can be
rebred. The heat period is every 81
days.
After the sows are bred they
should be turned into pasture and
fed very little grain during the first
part of the summer. Breeding stock
must be kept hard and healthy, and
to accomplish this roughages must
constitutue a large part of the ration.
Alfalfa, clover, bluegrass, and Ber-
munda, are permanent pasture crops
which furnish excellent summer feed
for sows. Rape, soy beans, cowpeas,
and sorghum are especially adapted
for swine feeding. Their use will re-
duce the necessary daily grain ration
to / pound or less per hundred weight
OF SOW during the grazing season,
which is a large saving in favor of
pasture. Plenty of water, shade, and
space to exercise are other essentials
for the production of strong, healthy
filters.
The sows can run together in the |
same pasture within two or three |
weeks OF the narrowing date. At |
this time those that are due 10 far
row should be separated from the
nerd and placed in a separate pad
lock or pen, where they can farrow
heir pigs undisturbed.
Keep the SOW on pasture if pcss-
BILE, and provide dry, well-ventilated
quarters free from draft in which
he can farrow the pigs.
