Since milk and meat fall into the same class as far as supplying food nutrients to the body Is concerned, 1t has been compared to i've different kinds of meat It should be borne in mind that the prices given in the ta- ible are average for the entire coun- try. In the majority of cases there is an increase in the price of each food stuff each year, but it win be noted that the increase is much greater from 1915 to 1916 than for any other year. 1t is shown that the average increase per pound in the price of the five cent, while for a like period milk i'm creased but 2o.2 percent. in price Had milk increased 5z.3 per cent also it would have sold for 12c per quart in 1916.

 E The New York Association for I'm proving the Condition of the Poor have recently made a comparative study of retail prices on a large list of food stuffs for November, 1915, and No- vember, 1916. They report increase ranging from II per cent. in the case Of milk to 113 per cent. in the case of potatoes. In no case was there a de- crease. Here again it is shown that in the rapid increases in the prices of our staple food stuffs during 1916, the price of milk has not kept pace.

MAKE LIME SULPHUR AT HOME.

Two years ago L. w Rice of Wilbra- ham, Mass, started making his own lime sulphur with good results. Last year several orchardists in tBlandford pooled their orders and employed one of their men to make their lime sui- phur. A great saving is made in this way, and it IS hoped that other com munities will seriously consider this matter this year. Those sections that have live steam available will be more successful than will others. Only the highest grade of caustic lime should be obtained as this seems to be one of the limiting factors in the successful man ufacture of lime sulphur.

Grow Rhubarb.

There are many gardens which do not contain hills of rhubarb. That is a crop that should be found in every garden, as it produces edible stalks in early spring when fresh fruits and vegetables are hard to obtain. This crop will grow anywhere yet it needs much fertilizer to produce maximum results. Plants can be obtained very cheaply almost any year. They should be set about five feet apart. and the crown of the plant should be covered about three inches. One should not pull heavily from the plants set until they have grown one or two years and have become very strong. Only the larger stalks should be pulled. All seed stalks should be promptly re- moved as soon as they appear so that the plant food materials will nourish the root instead of maturing the seed. It is possible to force rhubarb in the cellar by digging the roots up in the fall, allowing them to freeze in the fall, then bringing them into the eel lar and covering the clumps with three or four inches of sandy loam-. The plants should be kept moist and all lowed only a. little light.

How about pota- toes? If you haven't gotten your seed potatoes yet, better consider the, like lihood of having higher spring prices and get early. If you do seed down to grass and have several acres of corn, oats and potatoes, you should start the crop off by supplying avail able plant food early in the season This means fertilizers.

The Mystery of the Jade Spear

"Well, Inspector" repeated Mr.. Bull

For answer, Peace walked up to the
lamp and laid beneath it the jade spear

four inches Of broken shaft.
"Do you recognize that, Miss Sher-
rick?"
The girl bent over it without alarm.
She had no idea what part it had played
in that grim tragedy.

"An accident, Miss Sherrick."
"My poor uncle would have been
dreadfully angry about it, and so must
you be, Uncle Anstruther, for | under
stand you claim it to be yours"
1--WE did not come here, Mary, to
talk about jade collecting" snarled the
old planter.
"But does the spear really belong to
you, Mr.. Bulstrode2" asked the inspector,
blandly.
The man stiffened himself in his chair
with his fists clenched on his knees,
and his beady eyes staring straight before
him.
"That spear is mine, Mr.. Detective.
My brother having practically stolen it
from me, threatened me with personal
violence if l attempted to reclaim it.

property in due course"
"Your brother seems to have acted

did not walk in here one day and recover
your property"

He burst out into q peal of high
pitched laughter, rocking to and fro and
cl itching the edge of the table with his
hand. Then he bowed to us all very
low and staggered out of the room.
Peace stepped out after him, and ! fol-
lowed at his heels.

Mr.. Bulstrode laughed again, leering
back at me over his shoulder, as if my
presence afforded an added zest to his
merriment. There seemed an under
standing between him and the inspector.
Frankly, it puzzled me.
"You do not make confidants Of your
assistants, Mr.. Peace" he said.
The little inspector bowed.

Three Notable Physical Features.


 The surface of North America pre- sents three great physical features the great Pacific highlands, the central plains and the eastern highlands. The great Pacific highlands extend through the western part of North America, al- most from the arctic shores to the 1sthmus of Panama, and are traversed by the Rocky mountains and other high mountain chains. The central plains, which descend gradually from the crests of the Rocky mountains, include the Mississippi, Missouri and the Great Lakes regions. The Atlantic highlands, in the eastern part. extending from the northern coast of Labrador, nearly to the Gulf of Mexico, include the low plateau of Labrador to the north and the Appalachian of Allegheny moun- tains on the south, the principal sec tions of the latter bearing the names of thesWhite mountains in New Hamp- shire, the Green mountains in Vermont the Adirondacks in the state of New York, the Alleghenies in Pennsylvania. and the Black mountains in North Carolina.
