UNCLE wIGGILY LoNGEARs. the

TNCLE WlGGILI LONGEARS, the
4 rabbit gentleman. was walking
- along through the woods one
day. wondering what sort OF an ad-
venture he would have, when all at
once he began TO notice that it was
very warm.
MY, how hot the sun isl" said Mr..
Longears to himself. Though It is
only May 1t feels like August must
get out my thin fur coat"
Then he hoped on more slowly,
looking here and there for an adven-
ture. until. at last, the sun became so

one must have started Up a new fur
mace fire in the sun, thinking we were
going 10 be cold Why, it is even al
most too warm to look for an adven-

But hardly had he said that than.
all OF sudden. he heard little voice
near him saying
"Oh. deari What 3 lot OF trouble
I'm in! 1 wish some one would help

'-Ha. I'll help you. il you will tell
me who you are, and what is the mat

answer, "apd 1 an sitting right be

have caught one Of my legs in tight
crack In the log, and I can't move.
That is the trouble"

Uncle Wiggily. I'll help you get

Then, with his red, white and blue

Nurse Jane had gnawed for him out Of
a cornstalk, he pried open the crack
in the log and the toad lacy could hop
along to the store, where she was GO

Thank you very much. for setting
me free, Uncle Wiggily," she said.
1T was a great favor, and If ever I
can do you one ! will"

Uncle Wiggily, modest like, and shy.

Dairy Calf Club Organized.

Two Dairy Calf Clubs have been
organized in the county during the
past week. A Jersey Calf Club was
organized at Unity Tuesday night of
last week with Mr.. J. w. Buck as To-
cal club leader, and a Holstein Calf
Club was started and partly organ
lied at Libertyville on Thursday night
with P A. Cashion as local leader.
Both of these clubs showed sufficient
interest to justify me to say that they
will become very active clubs in the
near future. The Boys and Girls
Dairy Calf Clubs are moving along at
very rapid pace, and it is indeed
gratifying to see the interest that
the farmers are taking in the boys and
girls.
These club projects will end in
about six months after the boys and
girls get their calves. At that time
we expect to make a big day of it.,
and have the calves judged and scored
by dairy specialist from the Agri-
cultural College. Prizes will be of
fered for the girl and boy making the
highest score in each club. The Dairy
Calf Club membership is limited to
boys and girls from the ages of 10 To
16 years. The membership has now
reached something like thirty, and
that means thirty high-grade or
pure-bred dairy cattle introduced in
to the county.

Fertilizing Potatoes PAYS.

Barnyard manure alone is probab-
ly one of the best fertilizers to use on
potatoes, but some growers have OBJ
tanned better results when used in
connection with commercial fertiliz-
ers. Where barnyard manure is the
only fertilizer used it gives best re-
suits when applied one year before
the potatoes are planted. When APP
piled Immediately preceding the plant
ing the plant elements are not avail
able in quantity for that particular
crop.
When applying commercial fer
tilizer on potatoes, most growers ex-
pect too much from its use. Such
results are greatly increased or re-
tarded by the physical condition of
the soil. Fertilizers will not give
good results on a soil that is low in
humus or organic matter, such soils
run together or pack tightly after a
rain and are undesirable for potato
growing regardless of the kind and
amount of fertilizers used.
Commercial fertilizers may be COM
pounded at home or bought ready
mixed from some manufacturer or
dealer. A good home-mixed fertil-
izer consists of acid phosphate 400
pounds plus potassium sulphate 200
pounds. Or another formula is pot
assium sulphate 200 pounds plus
bone meal 400 pounds.--C. E. Driver,
in Missouri Ruralist.

TO HARNESS A TIDE

The Chicago Journal reports de.
velopment company began prelim.
mary survey on a project designed
to get power from the tides of the
Bay of Fundy 1t is claimed that a
motor has been developed which can
use the tide current in both directions
An American engineer is in charge OF
the work.
1t is another effort-and perhaps a
successful one--to solve a problem
which has fascinated engineers for
generations. Next to the sunshine in
the desert, the tides are the worlds
greatest stores of unused power; and
the Bay of Fundy is a veritable tidal
treasure house. The Spring tides at
the head of that bay often rise 70
feet above low water mark. 1t has
been estimated that if harnessed they
would yield more power than all the
coal mined in the United States; yet
they sweep to and fro as unhampered
as in the days when only the red men
watched their rise and fall.
Some day, some way, these tides
will be subdued to human service,
but there is no assurance that the day
has dawned or the way been found.
The Journal always has felt that the
first step in developing tidal power is
to discover a satisfactory storage
battery, to equalize the delivery of
current-and, in spite of much ad-
vertising and many fiamboyant pro-
phecies, no such battery is in sight.
The new company is going ahead
without this device-and may success
attend its efforts-but the chances
are that soft coal will not be super
seeded by tide motors for some time to
come.
