An editorial in the Farm ana Fire

The present centering OF attention by
economists on food waste is showing
that one Of the most unnecessary loss
co Of q valuable food product is the
ungathered nectar Of flowers.
Speaking In q broad way, there are
few farms In America that do not an
nuAlly produce several hundredweight
Of honey over aud above the honey re.
qulred to sustain the bee ~harvesfers
Of this appetizing staple food product.
The farms IN which the owners sys-
temdtically plan to save their honey at
present are less than II In a hundred.
On several million American farms
where this honey goes u~nharvested
pear after year this wastage aggregates
mlliOns Of dollars.
Minnesota scientific bee culturist,
Francis jaeger, is authority for the
statement that 100 colonies OF honey
bees suitably located and properly car
ed for AN be expected to average a
net production Of profit twice as great
90 that OF the average 100 acre farm
Of his state can show, while the equip
me1t and overhead are less. or course
100 colonies Of bees cannot be pastur-
ed on an average sized farm, but there
are innumerable farms where a dozen
hives OF bees could gather 500 worth

Russia's Famous General Made Him

self a Popular Hero. ~
General Kornilof is considered the
pluckiest general in the Russian army.
The story of his career reads like a
fairy tale.
Short OF. stature, with a bristling mus.
tache, .Korniloff, who is a general OF
the Siberian cossacks, first became
known during the Russian retreat in
the Carpathians In 1915. Against des-
perate odds he held out with his divi-
sion ill he himself was taken prisoner
by the Tentons. For severe months
he vas interned in Austria and had a
very hard time there.
In 1916 he decided to escape. Dis
guised as q peasant, risking his life on
many occasions, he walked hundreds
of miles across the C%arpathians into
Ronmania. When he finally arrived In
Russia he was greeted with unbounded
JOY by the army. His feat also made
him very popular with the entire ma
ton. This made 1t possible for him to
gain the great honor, Immediately after
the revolution, of being the first com
mandant of the revolutionary army Mt
Petrograd.
In this capacity he was dispatched to
TsarskOe-Selo to arrest the czarina.
The scene that followed his arrival at
the residence of Nicholas Romanoff on
March 81 has become historic.-New

1t must afford considerable consola.
ton to the navy recruit to realize that
the mattress on which he sleeps sc
comfortably at night will stand him in
good stead In case of an accident to the

makes it such a comfortable bed is also
the quality which makes it possible fol

ular Science Monthly.
The mattresses are stuffed with ka-
pok, a lighter than cork material which
is imported from the West Indies in
bales similar to bales Of cotton. 1t is
made from the seeds and silk Of a tree
not unlike the cotton wood tree, but in.
stead Of being in puffy balls the kapok
is in slender threads, which when com
pressed make a mass that is six times
more %buoyant than cork.
Thin layers of the kapok are inc1osed
in strong ticking for the mattresses
Each mattress is provided with tapes
long enough to tie around the body and
over the shoulders. 1t requires only
minute to adjust them.

DON'T NEGLECT A FEVER.
Keep q Clinical Thermometer In the
Home and Use Il.

Home and Use II.
Every home should have n thermome-
ter in the household medicine closet.
No family, especially where there are
children, should be without a thermom-
eter. The thermometer gives the cor
rect temperature OF the body whenever
it is necessary to find out what 1t
may be.
The beginning Of an illness is shown
by the thermometer. When one is well
the normal temperature is 9S.6 degrees.
Any rise in the temperature, especially
II 1t reaches 100 or 101 degrees, shows
there is fever, and a physician should
be called in to treat the condition and
ind out the cause OF the fever.
Children and adults having a temper
azure of over 100 degrees should re-
main indoors and in bed. 1t is always
dangerous to go about the, house or out
of the house when there is any eleva-
ton of the body temperature.
When one suffers from a cold there
may be a temperature of 1O1 or even
1O2, and If one goes about the house or
out Of doors it is no thing
for him later on to find himself in bed
suffering from bronchitis or pneumo.
MIA, and death frequently results, and
all from ~neg1ecting to. remain indoors
when ha ing u bad cold.
Buy a clinical thermometer and use
1t. 1t may save you from severe ill.
ness by showing you that you require
the services OF a physician.-Philadel

Why is a CATS TAIL7
Dess L Serve . Useful Purpose, or l.
Il Merely Ornamental

Does Il Serve . Useful Purpose, or 10
Il Merely Ornamental
The question having arisen, why
does the cat have a tail?' the scientists
seem willing to answer 1t with another
question, How would the cat look
without q tail7" No one can gainsay
the fact that the tail Is a valuable orna-
ment. The cat without one is q sorry
sight. But there are those who main
tain that the tail serves the cat as a
sort of gyroscope, balancing the body
In leaping. says the Popular Science
Monthly.
This cannot be wholly true, for Manx
cats get along very well without tails,
and rabbits have 10 use for them at
all. Yet both the Manx cats and rab-
bits do a lot of leaping. After all, it
looks as il the tail Is only al ornament
unless 1t is a kind Of safety valve for
expression in exciting times.
OF course there are instances where
the tail serves some purpose other than
that of art. The monkey fines his use
full as a sort OF fifth leg; the horse uses
his as a fly swatter, as does the lion;
the crocodile uses his for swimming, as
do the seal and the turtle and other
aquatic creatures, and the rattlesnake
uses his for warning enemies.
According to w. d. Matthews of the
American Museum Of Natural History,
the tail was a necessary organ for the
aquatic and amphibious ancestors from
which the higher animals are descend
ed. When they took to terrestrial life
and to walking on allxfours the tail be-
came more or less superfuous.
