In a stone crock put q layer Of coarse

Crooks holding several quarts are set
in the cellar, where the beans will
keep their color and flavor. When
wanted, remove a few and soak them
over night changing the water occa-
sionally until they are right for eating.
Canning Tomatoes.-Scald the toma-

coloring matter near the surface, then

Afternoon Gowns Appear Wider.

The afternoon models are generally
somewhat wider in appearance. This
effect Is obtained by the use of
flounces, panels and tunics over mar
row foundations. Large girdles are
often employed forming draped ef-
fects.
The materials in these afternoon
gowns are veloutine %spangles with tar
nished metal, satin, wolfe, mousseline
and velvet in shades of beige, sand,
ochre yellow and gray, often combined
with black.

An Actors Wish,

George Ade, on his return from
visit to Camp Mills at Mlneola, brought
a story back home, says the IndianapO-
lis News. While in New York city Mr..
Ade dropped in at the Lambs club,
where a lot of actors past war age
were sitting around talking about the
trenches. Everybody was anxious to
fight, but all said they were too old.
One of the company said he regretted
greatly that he was not eligible, but
he hoped that he might do his bit in
some way on this side. He said: Il
would even be willing to go to France
on the next transport if 1 could get
the kind of war job have In mind"
"What's that?' asked another actor.
SWELL" replied the would-be warrior,
'T should like to go to the front as the
chauffeur for a general with n yellow

SULTAN IS FOND OF READING
Turkeys Ruler for Weeks at a Tina
Shuts Himself in Private Suite,
Surrounded With Books.

Although the sultan of Turkey is
reputed to be the LATEST potentate In
Europe, he is passlOnately fond of
reading. For weeks at a time he will
shut himself in his private suite, sur
rounded by literature of all kinds
classical works, novels, magazines and
newspapers. With the exception of
his personal attendants and ministers
of state, no one is allowed in the i'm
perial sanctuary during the sultan's
literary Sits"
But the sultan is at something of a
disadvantage, says British weekly,
because his knowledge of European
languages Is limited.
In order to overcome the difficulty
he employs a translation office. Here
there are officials who speak all the
languages of Europe and the East.
They read all the political and Illus
trated newspapers of Importance, and
translate extracts from them for the
sultan. There are Is superior trans
latOrs, called dragOman secretaries, in
Ihob OAASCg dhO luC4A pay 10 lIOlu tel
to forty Turkish pounds monthly.
They do not limit their translations
to political publications; they trans
late novels and romances in all Ian
guages for the Sultan, and many
thousand volumes of their work have
found their way into the imperial lib
rary. They are all written on thick,
white, royal, octave, gilt-edge paper,
and are fastened together with
green and red ribbons by the transla-
tors themselves.
After circulating through the harem
they are preserved in the library. The
sultan's favorite reading is criminal
romances. He subscribes to all news
papers that contain reports of the
proceedings In the law courts, and
there is no famous writer of stories
of crime in any language whose works
have not been translated for him.

The Millennium.

Millennium is term applied in the
olOgy to the thousand years during
which Satan will be bound and the
martyred saints live and reign with
Christ-RevelatiOns 20 :2-3. This long
triumph is to be preceded by the
decisive victory of Christ over the ad'
versary, and followed by a general res
surrection and the temporary release
Of Satan; then come the last judgment
and the new heaven and new earth
Revelations 1921. All that is posit'
lively told respecting the millennium
can be read in the Scriptures. To the
passages indicated various interpreta'
tons have been given, and upon the
literal Interpretation various theories
have been built.
Attempts to fix the date of the ad-
vent, the second coming, the dawn OF
the millennium, have been proved by
lapse of time to have been failures.
Some of the dates that have been fixed
for the beginning of the millennium
have been 1888, by man named Still
ing; 1885, by Bengel; 1843, by Miller
1886, 1867 and 1858, by Doctor Cum
ming; and 1890, by the Mormon

Horses Loyal to Cavalry.

Displaying almost human instinct,
one hundred horses turned over to the
remount station by the First New
York cavalry when that organization
was transferred into machine-gun
companies, demonstrated their disap-
proval of the reorganization by stam-
peding, relates the Brooklyn Eagle. The
horses paid no attention to the mill
tary discipline, but broke down the
barricade of the remount station and
galloped over to the picket line of the
First cavalry, their old rendezvous.
Many of the horses took positions in
front of the tents of officers and SOL
diers who have ridden them for years.
An alarm was spread and the cavalry
men were compelled to corral their
former dumb associates and drive
them back to the remOunt station.

HOW TO USE COAL PROPERLY
House Should Not Be Allowed to Be-
come So Warm That Doors and
Windows Are Opened.

If ycu want to save coal never al
low the house to get so hot that you
have to throw open the windows and
doors. Thermostats are cheap these
days. They automatically slow down
the fire when the temperature is ris-
ing to the uncomfortable point.
To get the most out of the heat in
coal, the house air should be changed
once an hour. Arrangements for such
a change should have been made when
the house was built. But if that was
overlooked when the house was built
you can get the change of air in sew
eral ways, says a writer in the Ameri-
can Magazine. do not believe in get
ting this result by having loose win
dows, as we used to do on the farm.
I prefer tight windows, carefully
weather-stripped. If that has not been
arranged for, or if the cost is too
great, 1 find that storm windows are
relatively cheap. Then, air slots which
let in air when you want it are good.

work that can be done on the farm.
The one and only proper way to select
seed corn is from the stalks standing
where they grow, as soon as ripe and
before the first hard freeze.
AS soon as the crop ripens the wise
farmer will go through the field with
seed-picking bags. and husk from the
stalks the ears that have produced the
most corn without having any special
advantages such as space, moisture or
fertility. He will pass by the large
ears on stalks standing alone with an
unusual amount of space around them.
Strains that do we'll in competition
for light and moisture, and soil fer
tility are likely to repeat under the
same conditions. The most important
consideration is to select seed from
those plants which have the ingrained
ability to furnish the largest quantity
of dry shelled corn.
Early maturity is a desirable quail
ity, and so are short, THICK, windfirm
stalks; top-heavy ones with ears borne
too high are likely to mean losses.
Breeding experiments have proved,
that the tendency to produce suckers
is hereditary in the corn. Other
things being equal, take the seed from
suckerless stalks.

STABLE PRICES WARRANT
HEAVY PLANTING OF WHEAT

The assurance of stable prices for

rants a large planting of fall Wheat.
Seed is expensive, conse luently Jus
tifying more care tfan in normal
times in the preparation of the seed
bed.
When this article reaches the press
it will be too late to do all of the op-
erations necessary % prepare good
seed bed. The first operation is the
early fall blowing. thoroughly work
ing down the blowing with iisk and
barrow into seed bed which ls COM

or coarsely granular at the surface.
Planting fall wheat Should be done
| with the disk drill with the prol,er
amount of seed for the particular coll.
ditions under which the wheat Is to
| be planted.
In most of our Colorado territory
only Turkey Red seed should be ID.
For dry lands 80 to 35 lbs. is amply
sufficient, and in few localities is
too heavy an amount to use.
For irrigated conditions 60 lbs. per
acre is required. Seeding should be
begun by the middle of September for
best results. Whenever possible,
drilling should he done crosswise OF
the direction of prevailing winds and
left "ough after the drill If blowing

HOW TO GATHER THE BEST
CORN FOR YOUR SEEDING

At -ripening time, drop all 9TH
er farm business, says the United
States Department of Agriculture,
and select twice as much seed corn as
you think you will need. The job is
too important to be conducted Incl
dentally while husking, and demands
the entire attention of the farmer
when the time is ripe-likewise the
corn.
Get the very best to be had and pre-
serve it well, because then, say the
corn experts, increased yields will re-
turn more profit than from any other
