BELGIAN FARMS ARE SMALL
National Law There That Results in
Holdings Less Than an
Acre in Size.

An outstanding feature of the Bel
gian farming is the small size of the
farms. More than half of the Belgian
farms are less than an acre in size.
One cause of small farms in Bel
GUM is law prohibiting the leaving
by any man of all his property to one
child, declares Wallaces' Farmer. 1t
is required that the property be divid-
eG among his children. OF course the
children can agree to hold the land
intact, but in practice the result has
been a great subdivision of the land.
The average acre of Belgian land
rents for cash rent of about $40, but
there is some share renting, the agree
ment being half and half, and the
landlord to furnish half of the fer
tiliZer.
The average value of the Belgian
land is now about $500 an acre, pas
ture land averaging a little more than
this and cultivated land little less.
Eighty years ago Belgian land was
worth just half this much
Why is Belgian land so high? It is
not so fertile as much of the land of
England or Germany, yet is more val
liable because there are some half mil
lion Belgians who have the ability
to make 5000 land bear interest on
the investment. They are able to do
this because they work hard and are
satisfied with little. Another reason
for the high price Of land is the keen
competition for it. Because of the
small pieces into which it is divided
land is constantly on the market and
there are always farm hands and rent
ers who are eager to own a piece of
land for themselves, and so the price
is bid up to the limit.

EXPLAINS THE MERMAID MYTH
Sailors Mistook the Seal or Sea Calf
for Mythical Creature They
Thought They Saw.

OF course there are no mermaids
such as have been depicted to us by
imaginative artists for many centuries
mythical creatures, half woman,
half fish, with long waving tresses-
but it is interesting to note that more
than half the ancient pictures of mer-
maids depicted the creatures sitting
on a rock in the sea combing their
long hair and looking into a small
hand mirror.
Where did man get the idea, that
mermaids possessed combs and mir
rors? At first one might think it
evolved through the belief that mer-
maids (man once believed they ex-
isted) all possessed long hair, and,
possessing it, naturally did what all
women dO-combed it.
And because women have always
used mirrors-even the prehistoric
women used pools Of water for this
purpose-these old artists gave their
painted mermaids mirrors and combs.
But this is not true. 1t was no sup
position on the part of the old artists.
They made their pictures from the de-
scription that thousands of old sea-far.
ing men gave, men who actually be
lieved they had seen mermaids. And
these men frequently quite as solemn.
ly avowed they saw the mermaids with
combs and mirrors.
Not the least strange part of all
this is the fact that many of these
old sailors really believed they had
seen mermaids. There is no doubt
that they saw seals, or, more likely,
the sea calf. This peculiar creature
has habit of half raising it's body out
Of the water. Away back in the olden
days, when there were few sailors
and they had not sailed far in any
quarter Of the globe, the sight OF a
sea calf was a strange, weird thing
to them. The sea calf does not look
unlike a human being half raised out
of the water.

Our Fairy eodmothers.

The world, out of fairy books, is
chary in furnishing its fairy godmoth-
ers, yet most of US have friends at
whose touch we become more truly
and happily ourselves than at other
times. They seem able to endow US,
through some magic Of their own,
with the beauteous vestments and the
glass slippers that free the spirit.
These are our fairy godmothers. We
do we'll to love them and pay them
good heed, for through them we may
enter into such possession of the pre-
cious gifts that we need have no dread
of the striking hour. This, we must
suppose, is what Cophetua did for his
beggarmaid. At his glance the queen
in her blossomed. which later all the
world could see.-From the Atlantic.

GIVES THEM THE WILD FLAVOR
Housekeeper Has Thought Out Par
tleularIy Clever Way Of Cooking
the Domestic Duck.

Il can cook the domestic duck so
that you would think it was mallard!"
declared a clever little housekeeper
the other day.
AT any rate, you would think 1t
was mallard If you knew the delicious
and peculiar flavor of that particular
bird well enough to recognize it.
People say that this characteristic
flavor is due to the fact that mallard
feeds on wild celery. Well, naturally,
when buy ducks in the market it is
too late to put them on a diet in the
ordinary sense.
''But if 1 can't feed them celery
while they're alive, 1 can do it after
they're dead. Oh, yes, 1 can! And
this is the way l manage it. Instead
of stuffing them in the ordinary way,
take stalks of celery which 1 cut the
length of the birds inside measure
ment.
81 put these stalks in where the
dressing ought to grow and I then
place the duck in the roasting pan. In
stead of putting water in the pan,
pour in a pint bottle of moderate
priced Sauterne. Maybe I put a little
water in the Sauterne, but not much.
Then baste the duck with this while
1t is roasting. And if 1 can't deceive
you with the result-well, your palate
must have a pretty intimate acquaint-
ance with the flavor Of mallard."

Features, Many States Represented
The big Overland dealers conven-
tion at Toledo is proving the biggest
convention ever held. The entire
1917 line of Overland and WHY'S
Knight cars was contracted for by the
Overland dealers and distributors dur
ing this meeting. Besides its husi-
ness aspects number of features that
were unequalled in the annals of motor
history contributed to the entertain
ment of the 9, 600 delegates. Almost
every group of dealers bore some in
sigma or brought along a mascot.
I Texas, Montanans and Dakotans
came as cowbnys and rangers, nearly
all costumed in cowboy outfits and
carrying huge Colt 44's. The Okla
homa delegation brought genuine
Cheyenne Indians from Uncle Sans
reservation at Watonga. Arkansas
dealers had a black razorback hog
which they carried about in a Pullman
hammock. The Texas contingent pre-
sen:ed Mr.. John N. Willys, President
of The s-Overland Company with
a chair made out of Texas steer horns
a cotton automobile and live coyote.
All the visitors were housed in Pull
mans in the extensive Overland yards
as many as rs to 80 cars being
taken care of in one day; the visitors
were fed in the dining rooms and en-
tertained in the immense auditorium
of the new Administration Building.
