Weather Vanes In France.

In France the original weather vanes were metal reproductions of knightly banners or pennants bearing their owners heraldic devices and set upon the towers, and, like pennons, indicat. cd the di-"ction of danger, or sum- mons to victory, fight TT Q frolic, . warning or call. according to whether the day was to be fair or foul. An English, not French, writer it was who first compared vane to "the un- certain :niu1 of a fantastical woman" Tie weather may be shifty, you see, but not the vane to its own duty. says London Review. Falsehood does not abide with it. Wherever change in wind is important, it functions as :. sentinel at the gates or as a courier spreading tidings. a silent, always vis- ible Paul Revere.

New Americans Cook the New Way Electrically

The professional restaurateur has nothing on that professional-in-the- |home-the great American housewife over 5000 of whom have emancipated themselves from kitchen troubles of mothers days. The insert shows an electric oven turning out tempting, de- licious toast in the hands of fem mist exponent of the newer and brighter way of doing things. This type is in use in Fifth avenue man- sions, as we'll as in "patisseries" la Francais in New York and Paris. London was the first city to cook cleo trically, but this country has adapted and improved upon the science until we can almost claim the child as our own. It is claimed that over 50,O0O electric ranges will be in household use by the end of 1918.

Chinese Bean Eaters.

The chief reason why people can live 60 cheaply in China and yet produce for that nation a tremendous man power, is that they eat beans instead of meat; but nothing like the navy bean, which by many people who do not get much exercise is considered q rather heavy food. Furthermore, pork and beans as fed to the men in the United States army and navy becomes monotonous after while, even though the addition of the carbon contained in the shape of pork fat makes such . meal possess every element necessary fo suSfajn lifer~nxchauge.

ADVERTISING THE
 CHEAPEST SALESMAN

One biz fact that ought to be rec ognized by buyers of goods is that ad- vertising is the cheapest form of salesmanship. In selling their pro- ducts. farmers should advertise a thousand per cent more than they do, and in buying anything they should always give the preference to adver- tised brands.
 Take your own case. Suppose you have five registered Jersey neifers, or fifty bushels of Abruzzi rye seed, or forty tons of clover hay, that you wish to sell locally. Your county paper probably goes to two thousand homes. For cent or two word you can proclaim to all these homes what you have to offer. Or suppose you wish to reach a larger market and ask for bids from Progressive Far mer readers generally. In that case you can reach the 10000 homes to which the eaestrn edition of the Pro- gressive Farmer goes, for only 12 cents word. In other words, where as it would cost tens of thousands of dollars to visit all these homes, or cost $5,100 for postage alone to write them, 8 Progressive Farmer classi- fled advertisement does the work for 12 cents a word. Is there any other method-letters, posters, agents, per sonal calls, etc.-that could possibly be one-tenth as cheap as advertising in either county paper or farm pa per.
 These facts, we repeat, should also be kept in mind when the farmer comes to buy anything. Sometimes unprogressive houses try to fool con sumers by saying, "We can sell cheaper that the other fellow be- cause we spend nothing for advertis- ing" The truth is, as we have pointed out, that advertising is the cheapest form of salesmanship, and the rule is that the more literally firm advertises the more value it gives you foa dollar. If firm does not advertise it is probably depend ing wholly on drummer service or letter service to get business-twice as expensive a method as if it dou- bled the efficiency of it's drummers o1 letters through advertising.
 Moreover, if firm does not adver- tise, it is not getting as much busi- ness as it should. This likely means that it costs more to turn out each unit of product in it's small output than would be the cost with large advertising-stimulated output.
 Advertising builds business, big business, and the result is that sell ling costs are lower with liberal ad- vertisers than with non-advertising firms.-Progressive Farmer.

First Said of Goldsmith.

"He touched no subject that he did not adorn" was first said in a Latin epitaph on Oliver Goldsmith. ~Nil tetigit quod non ornavit.' The Hag- fish version of it was used in an epi. taph on Matthew Hale Carpenter of Wisconsin by Jeremiah s. Black of Pennsylvania. Carpenter died in 1887 and Black. who was attorney general of the United States from 1857 to 1861, died in 1883. His epitaph on Carpen. ter began as follows: "The most ac- complished orator of his day and gen. eration, he addressed no audience that he did not charm, and touched no sub- ject that he did not adorn." The Latin epitaph on Goldsmith was written by Dr. Samuel Johnson.

Typhoid Fever

1t is now known that typhoid
fever is caused by germs. Germs
arestiny things so small they can
not be seen with the naked eye.
Hookworms are plainly visible;
germs are not. The smallness
of typhoid-fever germs can be
realized from the fact that SO, 900
of them placed side by side make
a line only l inch long. If we
did not know their ways it would
be practically impossible to pro-
tect ourselves from such invisible
foes. 1t is now know that
typhoid germs leave the body
with the bowel discharges. This
is true not only Of sick people,
but also of those who are com
ing down" with sickness or of
those who are convalescent.
More serious still, recent investi-
cations have shown that persons
who are seemingly we'll discharge
disease germs. Such persons
are known as carriers. +" The
only safe protection is to shun
contact, direct or indirect, with
all human excrement, because
that is the source through which
the disease typhoid is communi-
Gated. Each case of typhoid
fever cries out that this funda-
mental law of cleanliness has
been violated. University Bull

What a Few Hens Will Do.

w. H. Seayer Jr., a farmer
near Webb, in Cochise county
had last year about 225 White
Leghorn hens, from which he
secured %, 1907 eggs. Mr.. Seaver
kept close record of their per-
Torrance. After all expenses,
including labor charges, had
been deducted, a net profit of
about 81 per hen was shown.
This he considere possible to ex-
cell this year, since last year he
had several handicaps to over
come including lack of proper
feed and high price of feed, and
some disease in the flock.
By keeping records and close
study of the business and produc-
ing more feed Of his own grow
ing he will eliminate many of
these handicaps and consequently
reap larger gain. He considers
about 800 head a good flock for
an average farmer. These
should be pure breds and well
fed. Pullets should be Matched
out by April 5 for winter layers.
Those Matched out in March and
the first of April were his good
winter layers.

Should all disputes between

very creditably presented by
Messrs. Joseph Pomeroy and

the affirmative, but their argu-
ment was literally shelled to
smithereens by the rapid fire Of
statistical facts by Lorenzo Jen-
