swearing admiringly to himself, hand

merous by gars!' he finally surren-
dered it to Prince, and they noticed
that his hands trembled and his eyes
took on a peculiar sOftness. And so
it passed from horny hand to horny
hand-the pasted photograph of wo-
man, the clinging kind that such men
fancy, with babe at the breast Those
who had not yet seen the wonder were
keen with curiosity; those who had be-
came silent and retrospective. They
could face the pinch of famine, the
grip of scurvy or the quick death by
field or flood, but the pictured SEM

made women and children of them all.
Never have seen the youngster yet.
He's boy, she says, and two years
old" said the stranger as he received
the treasure back. A lingering mo-
ment he gazed upon it, then snapped
the case and turned away, but not
quick enough to hide the restrained
rush Of tears.
Malemute Kid led him to bunk
and babe him turn in.

later he was breathing in the heavi-

"The trouble with him is clean grit
and stubbornness. He's cleaned up
twice with a stake, but lost it both
times"
Here the conversation was broken
off by an uproar from BEETLES, for the
effect had begun to wear away. And
soon the bleak years of monotonous
grub and deadening toll were being
forgotten in rough merriment. Male
mute Kid alone seemed unable to lose
himself and cast many an anxious look
at his watch. Once he put on his NIT
tens and beaver skin cap and, leaving
the cabin. fell to rummaging about in
the cache.
Nor could he wait the hour desig-
mated, for he was fifteen minutes ahead
of time in rousing his guest. The
young giant had stiffened badly, and
brisk rubbing was necessary to bring
him to his feet. He tottered painfully
out Of the cabin, to find his dogs har-
messed and everything ready for the
start. The company wished him good
luck and a short chase, while Father
Roubeau, hurriedly blessing him, led
the stampede for the cabin, and small
wonder, for it is not good to face "a

BALED TOO GREEN.

Edward A. Peden, Federal Food Ad-
ministrator for Texas, has written to
Walter P. Innes, Federal Food Admin
istIator for Kansas, asking that farm
.ers of this state dry their alfalfa hay
before baling.
While I appreciate you are entire
~ familiar with the alfalfa situation
in Kansas" writes Mr.. Penden, you
probably are not aware of the extent
of controversies and reflections by
Texas consignees this past season on
account of alfalfa being baIed too
green or while damp from dew or
showers Such reflections not only
cause loss to shippers account having
to reduce price of hay to effect de-
fiveries but the delays pending adjust
ments are quite expensive by reason
of the increased demurrage rate.
81 have received a letter from one
Of the Texas county administrators IN
which he says, L read IN the papers
yesterday where about ], 0OO, 900 acres
OF alfalfa would be cut in the state Of
Kansas during the next three weeks.

KANSAS STATE AGRICULTURAL
COLLEGE

Manhattan, Kan, juno 10.-To
keep flies off horses and cattle use
repellents if you want to make a
thorough job of it, advises George A.
Dean, professor of entomology in the
agricultural college.
Cattlernen suffer great losses every
year because of flies. Constant WORRY
ing because of the flies cuts down
gains. The cattle bunch up in the
middle of the day and fight flies in
stead of grazing as they would if not
bothered by them. Horse flies and
stable flies attack cattle as well as
horses.
The use of nets on horses keeps
some OF the flies off, but since most of
the flies attack about the legs the
nets furnish little protection. The use
OF repeilentS will keep most of the
flies of and it viii not be necessary
to use net.
mixture IS recommended for
horses consisting of two quarts of
crude fish oil, one pint of crude car
bollc acid, one ounce of penny-royal,
eight ounces of oil of tar, and one
and one-half quarts of kerosense. If
penny-royal is too expensive it NAV
be omitted.
This mixture should be put on with
a spray. It is not sticky and will
not iniure the hair or skin. If used
properly one gallon of it will be suffi-
clent for two teams for almost an en-
tire season. When the flies are trou-
blesome apply a little of the repel-
lent by means of a hand sprayer in
the mornin, again at noon, and it is
we'll to make another application at
night. This will allow the animals to
eat and rest in Oaaoa
For cattle use two parts of pulyer-
lied resin, one part of soap, shavings,
one-hah part Of water, one part of
kerosene, one part of oil of tar, one

ucts for nOn-fOOd purposes should
cease such use entirely
6 There is no limit upon the use of
other cereals, fiOurs, and meals, corn,
barley, buckwheat, potato -four, ct
ceteTa.
Many thousand families throughout
the land are now using no wheat prod
uctS whatever, except q very small
amount for cooking purposes, and are
doing so in perfect health and satisfac-
ton There is no reason why all Of
the American people who are able TO
cook in their OWL households cannot
subsist perfectly well with the use Of
less wheat products than one and one
half pounds a week, and we specially
ask the well-to-dO households in the
country TO follow this additional pro-
gramme in order that We may provide
the necessary marginal supplies for
those parts OF the community less able
to adapt themselves TO so large a pro-
portion Of substitutes.
In order that we shall be able to
make the wheat exports that are alb
sOlutely demanded OF Us 10 maintain
the civil population and soldiers Of the
allies and our own army, We propose
TO supplement the voluntary eo-opera-
ton OF the public by a further limEta-
ton OF distribution, and We shall place
at once restrictions on distribution
which will be adjusted from time TO
| time TO secure as nearly equitable dis
tribution as possible. With the arrival
| OF harvest we should be able TO relax
such restrictions. Until then we ask
for the necessary patience, sacrifice
and cooperation Of the distributing
trades

To effect the needed saving Of wheat
we are wholly dependent upon the
voluntary assistance OF the American
people and we ask that the following
rules shall be observed:
1. HOusehOlders to use not TO exceed

means not more than l q pounds OF

2. Public eating places and clubs to

Nearly 800 Kansas mother-daugh-
ter clubs with an aggregate member
ship of 5000 and an output of near
~ 100000 quarts of vegetables,
fruits and meats is the prediction for
this year by Otis E. Hall, state leader
for boys and girls club work
In 1917 more than $50 tons of pro-
ducts-5O0,00G quarts, valued at
0O,000-were preserved by the
more than 5000 members of 199
clubs. Interest in canning work is
on the increase in Kansas, and one
club after another is being organ
lied.

100000 pounds of canned products
consists of vegetables and fruits,
considerable meat has been preserv-
ed. This is something new in home
canning, having never been generally
attempted before the mother-daugh
ter clubs were organized. Meat can
ming demonstrations and printed di-
rcctions have enabled the club teams
to attain high degree of success in
this work, and the preservation of
large quantities of meats this year is
predicted.

ASSERTS MULES LOVE MUSIC
A California Farmer flas His Phono-
graph Play When He Is Train
ing Them

The Colorado farmer who gets more
milk from his COWS by giving them a
dash OF grand opera and a bit Of rag
time on his photograph is not a piO-
neer in this novel field OF farm eff
cheney.
George A Gage Of Suffer county.
California, claims to be the first ''mu
steal farmer"
Gage raises mules and horses. He
has big music box on HIS farm and
he plays band pieces, preferably sOOth-
ing melodies and waItzes, when he is
breaking his mule colts
Mules love music" said Gage. Il
discovered that ten years ago when I
drove Benjamin HarriSOn-the orneri-
est old mule you ever saw-to Yuba
City when a brass band was playing.
''The mule had one OF his baIky, con
trary spells that day, and could hard
ly do a thing with Benjamin until we
got to Yuba City. You'd never believe
1t If told you the change Just a few
band selections made in that animal.
From that day until Benjamin's death
he was the gentlest, lovingest old mule
you ever would want 10 see.
That gave me an idea When I
break my mule colts now I always have
the photograph play. II seems to at
tract the mules attention from the
harness and wagon
Horses don't seem to be affected
much. But mules are nearer human
than horses anyway"
Gage also averS his chickens Ike
monograph music, but would not go
on record as saying ragtime made the
hens lay any more eggs.

French homes have not baked bread
for hundreds OF ySArs. They have not
even ovens nor baking tins in their

If you ask them to bake their own

must add another hour to their long

that? Or shall our homes carry the
