jOFFRgS 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.
81 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 speculate
ing7"
"Mais non, monsieur de Marechal,
but there were times when 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"
~ understand" said the marshal.
''but, If may ask, how much did you
bring baek?"
"Eh, hen, Monsieur lie Marechal.
about $4,000 francs"
It is Nine. Joffre who has let the
story out. She has told 1t to some Of
her acquaintances In the American
colony in Paris, who repeat her assur-
ances that 1t is perfectly true.-Broob-

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

After the corn-root louise, rootworm,
grubworm, and wireworm have at
tackled the cornfield, 1t will be too late
for effective control measures. RENE
dies for these pests must be applied
during fall and winter, These insects
feed below ground and are most effec-
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 cornfeld 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

ADVANTAGES OF FALL COLTS
Younsster 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 n 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 II
going.

This Is true also of rye, but there are
available fewer varieties of rye than Of
wheat. The stations can furnish COM
parative statistics on the yields and
behavior Of number of varieties of
the two cereals.
After the grain farmer has procured
a supply of satisfactory seed he should
store 1t carefully, so that It will keep
in good condition and will be safe from
the depredations of rats, mice and in
sects. Bins which are supposedly rat
proof are available on practically all
farms and 1t will pay farmers to see
that they are kept in good condition
to keep out the rodents.

FATTEnING FOOD FOR DUCKS

Mixed With Milk or Water Is
Recommended az Good.

A good fattening food for ducks Is
three parts cornmeal. one part wheat
bran and one part high-grade beef
scraps mixed crumbly with milk or wa
ter and fed at morning and noon. The
evening food should consist OF crack
ed corn. No more should be fed at
one meal than they will eat mp
promptly and then the troughs should
be removed.

(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 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 1t 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 farming mill
removes weed seeds, smut and shriv-
eled grain and lea res only plump kerr
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 fan
ming mill will assist materially in i'm
proving the crop grown from seed
known to have contained scabby kerr
nels.
Buy Seed From Neiehbor.
If the farmer is dependent on out
side sources for his seed, he should buy
from his neighbor If possible, so that
he may be more likely to get seed well
adapted to his conditions. 1t Is advis-
able to buy as soon after harvest as
possible, as at this time prices are
likely to be lowest. If the farmer de-
| lays, his neighbors may dispose of all
their surplus grain and he may be
forced to plant seed grown under con-
ditons radically different from his
own. If the farmer patroniZes a seeds
man he should insist on getting seed
grown as near his section as possible.
If seed is affected by diseases, care
full inspection will usually disclose the
fact. The presence Of sinking smut
in wheat is indicated by the odor and
the presence of scab by the appear
ance of the kernels. Purchased seed
should, of course, be cleaned and treat
ed for the destruction of the spores OF
disease-producing fungi, If the exam
ination shows this to be necessary.
Selecting Varieties.
In choosing varieties of wheat, the
farmer should be guided by the eX'
perienccs of his neighbors and the ad
vice of his state experiment station
