limestone is available in many of
its counties and by the use of To-
cal portable and stationary crush
ers lime may be transported to
thousands of acres of wheat by
farm wagons or trucks. The To-

Clean Your Seed.

Apparently, there has been a
decided tendency among manu.
facturers to build tanning mills
too light. When selecting a fam
ming mill, first determine defn-
itely the frame work and BODY of
the machine to see that it is well
made of good material. The shoe
which carries the sleeves should
be especially well made to with
stand the vibration and convent
emily arranged for adjustment of
sleeves. The length of stroke in
shaking the sleeves should be adj
Unstable, as small seeds require
shorter strokes than the larger
ones, The air blast should have
adjustment that will make it a.
daptable to all conditions either
by change in speed or in the
supply of air admitted into the
fan.
Clean and healthy seud will in
crease your yield. Cooperate
with your neighbors in securing
and using a tanning mill this
fall.

Grow more wheat. Increase
your acreage. Increase your
yield per acre. To do so you
must remember these injunctions:
/. Prepare the seed-bed we'll.
Study your conditions to see how
this may best be done on your
farm. Grains demand a seed
bed firm and compact underneath
and with a puvlerized surface.
2. Fill the soil full of fertilizer.
Phosphate, nitrogen; lime, man.
re-all these will help you to
get high yields. if you use them
correctly.
3. Sow good seed.
Good seed means free from
shrivel.d kernels, free from
weeds. and of a variety that will
yield well on the soil to be used.
4. Treat for smut, if necessa-
ry.
II you have to seed infected
grain, treat it carefully with
chemicals.
5. Use a grain drill for SOW
ing.
If you cannot get one. broad
cast. Sow | to u bushels to the
acre.

unable to go to the trenches to fight

age food production and conservation.

n TOUR Of China or Japan, with Its
- opportunity to learn something
at first hand of the wonderful
civilizations centuries old, Is an envia-
BILE experience. But still more wonder
full is 1t to visit those countries not as
a mere tourist, but as an honored

from japanese royalty, from clubs

nese and japanese cabinets, were
showered upon her, and she was dined
and feted and honored as though she
were a royal visitor.
But the honors have not spoiled her,
as they so frequently spoil others, or
changed her from the charming, unaf-
fected young girl that she Is. One can
readily understand that, though her
skill and courage as an aviator
brought great admiration, the courte'
sizes and attention were largely for her.

Meaning Your Friends.

It Is almost impossible to be genuine ly friendly with a person who insists on being too close to you, on knowing all your thoughts, feelings and affairs ana on claiming your time and attention on the excuse of affection alone.
 The bonds of true friendship must be easy, and its demands must be for something real and vital. The woman who calls on you perpetually because she has taken a sudden fancy to you Is a blind and selfish egotist In a mild way. Her calls may interrupt your work and bore you intensely, but 1T you are a polite and courteous person you bear with her until she directs ner attention elsewhere. She will probably tell the new friend that you are 'Yery unresponslve." Some women clutch at every new acquaintance and then com plain that they have so few friends The reason is that friendship Is not built on trivialties and whims, but by giving such valuable things as true consideration, real interest and mani festing a decent reserve as to the other persons condolences and nOnconhdings' -Woman's Home Companion.

To Toll q Fish'O Age,

Could you tell the age of fish ii asked to do sof
 It has been found that the age Of fish may be read from its scales. These increase In size by annular growths, two rings being formed each year. The "otOliths," or car stones, which lie In two sacs on either s:dc of the base of the Cranial cavity. afford another means of determination.
 Like t,:c sales. the otOliths increase by two rings annually. Each spiing a white ring is formed and each autumn black one. Thus the number of either white or black rings in m oto- lith gives the age of tAe fish In years. In the case of flattish the latter method has been found more reliable, whereas in the case Of the cCd the scales give a better result. Although varying much In s.-c and shape h different species, the cto,i.hs show q remarkable con stancy In the same species; hence they are of considerable vglue in the d!ag- nosis of spCrics.
