JoFFRE'S VALET DID WELL
Amassed Fortune of $4,000 Francs
While on American Tour With
the Noted Marshal.

When Marshal Joffre went to the
United States he took with him a
body servant who was to act as his
valet. The man formerly had served
in the family and there was nothing
said about what pay he was TO receive
until the journey was over, when the
marshal asked him what he owed him.
II couldn't ask for any pay in view
of the petite fortune that have
brought back with me-"
What little fortune?" asked the
marshal. you haven't been Speculat-
ing?'
MATS non, monsieur de Marechal,
but there We're times when l could be
of service. People who wanted auto
graphs, and those who wanted to see
the chambers occupied by Monsieur lie
Marechal, and those who sent notes
and messages
Il understand said the marshal,
but, if may ask, how much did you
bring back?"
''Eh, hen, Monsieur lie Marechal,
about $4,000 francs"
1t is Nine. Joffre who has let the
story out. She has told it to some of
her acQuaintances in the American
colony in Paris, who repeat her assur-
ances that it Is perfectly true.-Brook-

CURIOUS LEGACIES ARE LEFT
Man Wills Wife a Farthing, to Sc
Forwarded to Her in an IN
stamped Envelope.


A gentleman lately left "the large
oaken walking-stick, with silver head
bearing verses abiding to 1t having
been saplinr grown from an acorn
planted on my great-grandfather's
wedding day." to his nephew, and TO
his sister 'the damask tablecloth with

A Liverpool lady, who died lately,
left to her nephew-nephews seem 10
be specially favored-her doormats,
except parlor mats and the oilcloth in

sell the Oilcloth and go In for riotous
living on the proceeds.
The will Of an eccentric lazy con-
tanned the following clause "As to my
sisters, nieces, nephew, brother-in-law,
cousin, nothing shall come from me
TO them but bag of sand to rub them
selves with. None deserve even a good

them" Dear old thing! MeaneSt Of
all, however. was the man who left
his wife a farthing, with directions
that ii should be forwarded to her in

FLOWING TO CONTROL PESTS
Remedies for Effective Check Must Be
Applied During Fall and
Winter Seasons.

After the corn-root louise, rOotwOrm,
tackled the cornfield, it will be too late
for effective control measures. Rene
dies for these pests must be applied
during fail and winter. These insects
feed below ground and are most etfec-
lively controlled by fall or winter
blowing, clean culture and crop rOta-
ton.
The root louise winters as the egg in
the nests of the small cornfield ant.
BY winter blowing these ant nests are
broken up and the ants, as well as the
louise eggs, are destroyed. The eggs
of the Northern rootwOrm are de-
posted by the beetle during fall in
cOrnfieldS and since the grub on hatch
ing the following spring will feed only
on the roots of corn, apparently crop
rotation is entirely effective. Some of
the grubworms and wireworms require
two or three years to mature. They
winter in the soil where winter plow-
ing will destroy many. They breed
largely in sod. Therefore, if field of
sod is to be used for corn in the spring,
pillow it in late fall, if possible. Should
dry weather permit before freezing
weather is over, winter blowing will
eliminate q great many of the insects
which ordinarily attack corn in the
spring.

NEED SOUND MIND AND BODY
Depressing and Does Not See
Bright Side of Life.

To keep fresh involves determina-
ton and will. 1t is so easy to go on
labOring, both at work and pleasure,
until we are depleted in mind and in
body.
Then we are sources of danger, not
only TO ourselves, but our whole sur
rOundings, for a depleted man or
woman is always depressing. They
have not enough vitality to see things
brightly. to look at events in sound
cOmmOnSenSe manner. Their opinion
and views are biased by their own
mentally and physically devitalized
condition. and they take the dark
cOlOred, pesSimistic view of things and
events, in this way acting as poison
ers of the happiness of their loved
ones and others.
1t takes a sound mind in sound
body to see things always rose-cOl-
Ored, and to take the CHEEKY, Optimis-
tic view of things which so helps those
with whom we are associated.
To keep a whole body means that
we must never lower its vitality unless
unavoidable, by incessant work, by so
called pleasures which really rob the
body of much necessary power needed
I'm other directions, but that in calcu-
lating our days or weeks work, we
include sufficient rest to restore the
energy we have expended.
1t is duty we owe to ourselves
and others to take this rest in which
ever form each individual finds pos
sible or pleasant.
To some a weeks end in the coun-
try will give tone and heal N, to others
quiet rest at home, but everyone
should allow sufficient rest every day
I'm the silence away from other So
ciety, in which to relax and be per-
fectly quiet. This will help keep the
balance of body and soul and its con-
tinued practice means continual re-
freshment.-MaryY eates.

An Aztec Grain.

At the time of the Spanish conquest,
an ivory grain, finer than mustard
seed, was made into paste for molding
into religious idols and was an impOr-
tant food in those times of scarcity Of
maize. This grain, known to the Az
tees as "huauhtli, was among the trib-
utes paid by the pueblos to Mon
tezuma. The botanical identity of the
seed was long unknown, but the col
lection Of DR.. Edward Palmer in the
states of SineOla and Palisco, included
tish-egglike seeds of an anaranthus.
The plant was found both wild and IN
der cultivation, q paste of the seed and
sugar being sold under the name of
"Suale." DR.. w. E. Stafford Of the
department of agriculture has. recog-
nized in these specimens the sacred
"huauhtli" of MontezUna's time, and
suggests that this amaranthus might
be cultivated in favorable situations.
Closely allied plants are cultivated in
India, Tizet, South America and At
RIGA as grain crops.

Dressed Just Like Clothes Pins.

ready. They prepared a fire supper
and decorated little tables which were
just outside the cave. Mr.. Giant helped
them and lent them many things such
as his fine sandwich cutter, which was
made out of a sharp stone and which
cut the bread in no time at all!
They decorated the cave with au-
tumn leaves and branches of pine
trees. Soon it was time for the guests
to come.
They all appeared in fancy dress cos
tunes. 1--WE had no idea you would
all dress up" said Peter Gnome, smil-
ing as he embraced Billie Brownie first
Of all.
"Ah, Peter" said Billie Brownie,
laughing, 1--WE knew by your smile that
you had something up your sleeve
that is we knew you had an idea
So we thought the least we could do
was to dress in costumes"
And when all the guests saw every
Gnome dressed just alike and looking
like a great, enormous set of clothes
pins, how they did laugh!
Just as soon as every guest arrived
what did Peter Gnome do, helped by
Mr.. Giant who now appeared at the
door of his cave, but get out a great
stout rope. 1t was strong enough to
make a swing, and in few seconds
Mr.. Giant had fastened his end to an
old pine tree and Peter GnOme had
tied his to another pine tree.
Ready, set, got" said Peter, and all
the Gnomes dressed as clothespins
hoped on the long rope and said:
"We're all little clothespins out on
the line! And what a jolly party il
was!

DISPOSITION OF DEAD HOGS
Mighty Poor Practice to Bury Cholera
Victims or Permit Them to
Lie Around in Open.

Only too often, when an outbreak
of hog cholera is Investigated it is
found that last fall or winter, a pre-
vious tenant lost several hogs, buried
them about six inches deep and your
hogs dug Ehem up. Other cases are
found to be due to some dog which
has been feasting on dead, unburned
hog carcasseS left out in the open by
some person mile or more away.
The dog brings home bone, a piece
of skin or chunk of meat, and
leaves it In the hog lot. The pigs
promptly consume the morsel, hog
cholera germs and all. The only best
way of combating this method Of
spreading disease Is to burn every
dead hog completely. When reduced
to ashes, there is left no ghost to
walk.

(From the United States Department of
Agriculture.)
Sound, clean, healthy seed is the
first requisite for the largely increased
wheat crop which the United States
department of agriculture hopes TO see
harvested next year. Whatever the
source of supply, farmers will find it
to their advantage, says the depart
ment, to see that only good seed is
planted. What has been said is
equally true of seed for the rye crop
which the department hopes to see
much larger than usual next year.
If a farmer has seed from his own
crop which is satisfactory so far as
variety and general condition are con-
cerned, he should lose no time in get
ting it into shape for storage until
planting time. The tanning mill is the
farmers best friend in this task. The
farmer by all means should have such
a mill, and If he has not and is unable
to obtain one, should borrow or rent
his neighbours MILL or several farmers
can join in buying one. A tanning mill
removes weed seeds, smut and Shriv-
eled grain and leaves only plump ker-
nels, practically every one of which
may be depended upon to produce a
thrifty plant. After it is cleaned, how
ever, the seed should be treated in or
der that the smut may be prevented.
Scab is more likely to be prevented by
seed treatment, but the use of the fam
ming mill will assist materially in i'm
proving the crop grown from seed
known to have contained scabby ker-
neiS

ADVANTAGES OF FALL COLTS
Younaster Can Be Weaned in Spring
When Grass Is Beginning to
Come-Pasture Helps.

A very large proportion of all colts
are foaled in the spring. However,
some who have raised fall colt or
two each year have found the advan-
tages are not all in favor of the prac-
tice of exclusive spring colt raising.
A colt foaled in September or early
October will get a nice start before
the pasture dries up and winter ap-
proaches. Then the mare and colt
should receive plentiful and nOur-
ishing ration through the winter. The
colt can be weaned in the spring when
the grass is beginning to come, and
the pasture will help wonderfully to
keep it in condition and to keep it
going.

Stored Grain.

Carbon bisulphide used at the rate
of five to eight pounds to 1000 cubic
feet of space IS recommended for the
destruction of insects in stored gram.
The grain bins should be alright and
the temperature above 20 degrees.
Burlap sacks or cotton waste satur-
