Finding Good Ground water.

Good ground water Is the ideal sup
ply for farms. according to Farmers
Bulletin 941, "Water Systems for
Farm Homes" recently issued by the
United States department Of agricul-
turA
Any farmer about to put down q
deep or expensive well, and who is
uncertain Of the depth and the guam
tity or quality Of the water likely to
be encountered, should describe fully
the location and conditions of his
project to national or state geological
authorities and ask for advice. Times
without number, wells have been sunk
to great depths In the belief that
eventually plentiful supply would
be reached, only to find that water
was not there, or that it was unit for
use, or that 4 mere hole or stump had
been created which served but to
drain water from relatively near the
surface. There is no short cut and
no better guide In this matter than
information as to the kind. thickness.
porosity, and dip Of the strata Of the
region and Of the results obtained in
neighboring wells, study OF the land
slopes and character Of the vegeta-
tiOn, and examination for evidences
Of seeps and springs
Regarding the use Of a forked will
low, hazel, or peach stick for locating
underground water, 1t can be said
safely the method Is without merit.
although so-called forked-stick artists

there is little to recommend certain

HOW TO TRANSFER BEES

The keeping of bees in box
hives or log "gums" is unprofit-
able. The care that bees need
in order to gather a fair crop Of
honey can be given only II the
beekeeper is able to examine the
the bees and to move the combs
as needed.
Probably one-thlrd Of all the
bees In the United States arc In
hives without movable combs.
and to assist the owners of such
colonies to get them in proper
hives the United States depart
ment of agriculture has pre-
pared Farmers Bulletin 061.
transferring Bees to Modern
Hives" Various methods are
given, some one Of which will
be possible to any beekeeper, SO
that there Is no reason for de-
lay In making the bees produc-
tive.
Unless the bees are properly
managed after transfer there is
little advantage In movable
frame hives. This requires q
study Of beekeeping as well as
promptness and care. Direc-
tions for handling bees are given
In other publications of the de-
parfment.

Story Goes to show Natural Rivalry
Between Various Branehss Of

They tell story about Eddie Near

an American warship. which goes to
show the intense natural rivalry be-
tween the various branches Of the
American military service.
It seems that Nearlng's ship was
being held up Mt a French port some
time ago and that the members Of the
crew, including Nearing, were allowed
to take Z jaunt to Paris. There, in
their <meanderings. they met up with
members of the crew Of another Amer
ican vessel which boasted of Joe Bor-
weight.
The argument regarding the respec-
tive merits of Borrell and Nearing
waged heavy between the crews. until
finally 1t was arranged that the two
boxers would meet to settle the dis
pute. Nearing was not on hand when
the discussion arose but that did not
matter to the gobs. He was signed
up by proxy to battle BOrrell.
On returning to the vessel Nearing
was notified by the captain that a
match had been arranged for him.
"Who's the guy I'm to meet?" asked
Nearing.

answered the captain. II don't remem-

No one enjoys the spring more than

in doubt just what season of the year
he likes best. He knows. which ono he
doesn't like, and this Is winter. He
doesn't like winter at all, and SO he
sleeps through most Of it. Sometimes he
would like to sleep longer than he does
Once in a while he wakes up before
winter has fairly gone and then can't
go to sleep again. When this happens
Buster is quite sure that there is no part
of the year quite so beautiful as spring.
You see not until spring has really come
can Buster find enough food to eat.
But when the summer comes with its
blueberries ard raspbcrrics. Buster is
sometimes inclined to think that this is
the best season of all the year. He
knows it would be If his big black fur
coat Were not so warm. Then when fall
comes with its beech nuts and acorns
and the honey Busy Bee has stored up
all summer, and the air is just cool
enough for comfort, Buster knows then
that this is the best season OF the year.

PICNIC SANDWICHES.

The restrictions on the use of wheat
-four only add to the piquancy of the
picnic. sandwich. for it always has
been the sandwich made of some non
wheat flour that has made the best
sandwich. The ideal cheese sandwich
is made with rye bred; cream cheese
goes best with a graham or bran
flour bread-and by the way, bran
naked with rice or potato or corn
flour gives the same result as
wheat and bran bread And corn
bread makes a delicious background
Tor tomato sandwices. The corn
bread should be in the form OF John

sliced ard put between split pieces of
buttered corn bread just before being

tomatoes adds to the flavor

Peanuts on Oatmeal Bread-Pea-

fruit make good filing also. The
illing consists Of chopped dates, figs,
lemon juice and ground nuts. lightly
biUad is buttered for this. Candied
fruits are often used. but often the
sandwich is a sweetened war bread
containing chopped nuts and cur
rants.
Cheese Sandwiches-These can be
made at home by grinding sharp
American or store" cheese through
the meat grinder. Add paprika, salt,
little olive oil and onion juice Be
fore using, add chopped chives,
parscly or cress to give color and
additional flavor; spread between
slices OF dark bread.
Nut sandwiches.-Run through the
chopper any meat you have on hand
and an equal amount of pecan nuts,
mix with the meat season with salt,
pepper Worcestershire sauce and to-
mato catsup; then blend in enough
melted butter or thick cream to make
of the right consistency. Spread on

Tomatoes and Celery.-Take crisp,
new tomatoes, slice evenly and spread
over them, finely minced celery and
mayonnaise dressing. Place this mix
