Pulses.

Pulses are meek little creatures that
live in wrists and serve as pacemakerS
for the heart, telling it how fast to
beat. There has never been case
known to science where the heart has
not beat as fast as the pulse. Pulses
sometimes get much excited under
stress of fear, strange young ladies
and other embarrassment, and the
heart has to put forth it's best licks to
keep within hailing distance. Pulses
oftentimes act up in a very unseemly
manner under the thumb of an insur-
ance doctor and, indeed, have been
known to save their owners from 50
to so month in life insurance which
they have prevented his getting.
Unfortunately, pulses are located in
a very inaccessible place for repair
purposes, and when they begin to back
fire and miss there is no chance to
throw up the radiator hood and peek
into their carburetors and things.
Pulses are invaluable to doctors in ar
irving at diagnosis. That is to say,
while the doctor is apparently engaged
in tolling off the pulse rate, he has q
dandy opportunity to make few like
ly gueSses as to the nature of his
clients new ailment. Besides all this,
pulses are very handy little things
around which to wear pulse warmers
and wrist watches. A man with no
pulse is dead to all practical purposes.

Let Old Wounds Heal.

"By the time a man has reached
folty the chances are that something
has happened to him to destroy his
peace of mind" These words were
spoken by one of the wounded who
didn't know how to take care of his
nind. He kept the wound from healing
Hy letting his mind dwell upon it-by
making it a controlling circumstance
in his life. Recovery was possible for
him. He might even have been a bet
ter man for the wound. But he chose
to take harm out of it instead of TAX
ing good.
Here lies the greatest danger for the
wounded. If they let the wound poison
the whole system it will, indeed, spoil
their lives. But there is always some
thing else to do-to put the system
into such a condition that the wound
shall inevitably heal and perhaps not
leave even a disfguring trace on the
mind.-John d. Barry.

Black Feline Agent of Evil.

In nearly every weird legend black
cat figures as the agent of evil. A story
generally accepted down to the middle
of the nineteenth century was that
when, Satan desired to disturb the
peace of mankind he assumed the form
of black tomcat. In Germany, Eng
land and France during the middle
ages it was usual to wind up religious
celebration by throwing a cat from a
height to the road below.
Among the many popular faliacies
accepted by unlettered and ignorant
persons is one that cat can see better
at night than in the day, and that it is
able to see clearly In pitchblack dark
ness. But the real secret of the cats
ability to move rapidly in dark room
lies in its feelers, commonly called
whiskers, and in its natural surefoot-
edness.

FARMING NOW
A BUSINESS
The Modern Day Farmer Applies
Business Methods and Seeks
More Than a Living on
the Farm.

A nationwide cry is being made for
more economy and greater productloh,
and probably never was the need Oh
| fOodStuffs equal TO that of the present.
Grain prices are the highest in the ma
tons history and today the agrlcui-
| tural fields Of America offer induce
ments that are unequaled in any otller
line of commerce or business. Inc
deal life is that close TO nature, en-
joying the freedom of Gods great out
doors and fulfilling a duty to human

that which is essential to the very eX-
lstence of less fortunate people VINO
are actually starving to death for food
stuffs that can be produced so eco
nomically in the United States ana
| Canada.
High prices for all grains, undoubt-
eddy, will be maintained for number
Of years. and 1t appears certainty
that the agriculturist will reap
bounteous return for his labor and at
the same time carry out the demands
OF patriotic citizenship. A wrong con-
ception has been generally noticed as
to Life on the Farm" 1t has been,

In al, II RI fo

culture have been given supremacy
In the business world and require the
same advanced methods as any other
line of commerce. In no other buSi-
ness does system adoption pay bet
ter than on the farm, and 1t is certain
that there is no other line of work,
that, generally speaking, needs 1t as
much. The old idea of getting living
off the farm and not knowing how ii
was made and following up the details
Of each branch of farming to get the
maximum of profit, at the least ex-
pense. is fast being done away with.
Farming is now being considered as
a business and living is not sufficient
for the modern agriculturist; small
per cent on the investment is not
enough, the present-day farmer must
have a percentage return equal to that
Of other lines of business. The prices
for produce are high enough, but the
cost of producing has been the factor,
In many places, that has reduced the
profit 1t is the application Of a sys-
tenn to the cost of various work on the

on profits made in grain-growing In
Western Canada.
Mr.. C. A. Wright of Milo. Iowa,
bought hundred and sixty acres of
land in Western Canada for $4,000 In
December. 1915, and took his first crop
from 1t in 1916. After paying for the
land In full and the cost of cultivating
it and marketing the grain, he sold his
grain at $1.55 bushei Ga low price

COWPEAS ARE REALLY BEANS
Practically Unknown in North, They
Make Very Nourishing Food, Say
Government Experts.

CowpeaS or Southern field peas,
which, despite their name, are really
kind of bean, are like other dry
beans, comparable with meat in the
kind of nourishment contained in
them, and can, in the opinion of spe-
cialists of the United States depart
ment of agriculture, well be used more
extensively as human food. They are
commonly used in the South, where
they are extensively grown, but are
practically unknown in the North and
Northwest, where other, often more
expensive, beans are consumed in large
quantities.
There are many varieties of cow
peas. of which the white and black-eye
sorts are considered particularly de-
sirable for the table. In palatability,
digestibility and nutritive value they
while their delicate and pleasant flavor
leads many to consider them equal, if
not superior, to the latter.
CoWpeas are used on the table in
three forms-in theSpod, shelled green
and shelled dry-corresponding, re-
spectively, to string beans, shelled
green beans and dried beans, and call
ing for much the same methods of
preparation for the table. The dry
cowpeas are by far the most common.
Like dry navy or Lima beans, cow
peas may be boiled with bit of fat
meat or baked and served in place of
lean meat or other food rich in nitro
gen. Boiled and mashed through a
the beans form a foundation
for numerous dishes. They may be
creamed with milk and butter, like
mashed potatoes; formed into crO-
quotes with bread crumbs and fried
or baked; made into loaf with bread
crumbs, minced vegetables, milk and
seasonings; or made into soup.
A delicious combination dish, called
Hopping john" may be made as fol-
lows: Boil one quart of cowpeas and
a scant pint of rice separately and mix
together when done. The rice should
be seasoned after it is cooked. Bacon
or beef bone boiled with the cOwpeas
adds a desirable flavor to the dish.

tow him out to sea and then, repairs
being completed, sowed the sea with
mines and in German code sent out a
call by wireless that brought six Prus-
sian destroyers down on them. Four
of the destroyers struck mines and the
remaining two were sunk by the sub

1--WE had passed close by to several
Prussian vessels earlier in the eve
ming, but had not touched them, for
ours was a mission of observation. So
we considered that we would fall in
with one very soon. Sure enough, In
an hours time we caught sight of a
dark shape coming down and which
would apparently run afoul of us If we
kept on. Through the night glasses
our lieutenant made her out to be q
trawler. At once he decided on a des-
perate expedient. He sent off the
bo'sun and six men, all the available
men we had, In our collapsible boat,
md as the trawler bore down on us he
hailed her in German and reported
himself as U-29, with machinery dis
abled.
1T wasn't till she was right on top
of us that they smelled rat. Some
one shouted out an alarm as her over
hang grazed us. And as the cry went |
up our collapsible, which had pulled |

side. The lieutenant and l went over
the trawlers side and shot two of

but the second had struck another

an appalling roar.
