The Coming Storm.

There were numerous signs of a coming storm. The clouds, dark, heavy. and threatening, were piled in the western sky in great pillows: one overlapping the other like the waves of the surging. angry seq beneath them. Ominous mutferings of thunder were heard in the distance, and sudden flashes ot lightning pierced the dark ening slyT- like shining da9gers If fire The atmosphere grew heavy and hot and all things seemed to hold their breath as if to wait the onrush of this furious storm.

 Secretary TumuIty Speaks.

Secretary Tumulty told the diners that in his opinion they had listened to a letter which embodied the gospel of democracy of this new day.
 These principles" he said "repre- sent the outpourings of the heart ot one of the greatest leaders Of demo- cratic forces in the world at this time
 "a leader whose normal weight and influence is as dominant in the coun- cils Of Europe as it is in the coun- cfis of the democratic posts in our own country. He has given expression to the yearnings that come from the hearts of common men. What a mighty difference there is when you contrast these stirring doctrines with that much-vaunted, much-advertised pro- gramme of efficiency whose wrecks and ruins are strewn along the legis- lative pathway of New Jersey.

My Trip to RrookIxn,

Dear Uncle Jed: Last Labor day my grandma and aunt took me for drive to Brooklyn, Conn. We went by Elliott station, leaving home about half past nine in the forenoon.
 Grandma bought me some cookies and candy at the Elliott store.
 When we got to Brooklyn we stop ped to see a lady and she gave me some flowers and then went to the cemetery to my grandpa's and six cousins graves. We put flowers on the graves It was a sad sight.
 Then we started for home, coming up by my Aunt Alice's and stopped to see her and my cousins.
 We started from there for home about four o'clock and got home quar- ter past six, having had a. very good time. But I was very tired and glad to' get home to see mamma, my brother and baby sister. I hope to go again some day.

"Nery few people realize that the

cold weather Of September or October,
according to locality. One female can
produce 1,SO0 and 1900 eggs. The
possible progeny OF two or three
broods is enormous. In 1916 it is esti.
mated that at least 20 per cen Of the
potato crop suffered from its ravages.

The high price Of all copper COM
pounds incident to the wal has result
ed in an increase in the price of paris
green, while lead ~arsenate, although 1t
also has increased in price. is some

Use Of Poisons.
Lead a~rsenate does not kill as
quickly as paris green, but insects
cease feeding as soon as they receive
a poisonous dose. 1t is sold in both
powdered form and paste form, and is
used at the rate Of two pounds of pow

ounces or three level teaspoOnfuls are
used to a gallon of water.
For the proper application Of this
spray a sprayer Of the best type and
approved nozzles should be employed.

first appear will kill most Of them, but
a second or third dose may sometimes
be required. Later on other broods

prepared by the United States Depart

Legume hay and corn silage formed
a large part Of the rations Of those
cows which made the greatest income
over Ost of feed In contrasting assOci-
atoms, In which the records Of 5,5S7
cows covering a period of four years
were studied by specialists Of the de-
partment of agriculture. BY feeding
such feeds larger production a be
combined with economic production
and the income Over cost Of feed can
be increased. Economic production
benefits both producer and consumer.
The feeding of concentrates to dairy
cows should be based on known pro-
duction. Farmers who are too busy
to test their own cows may now have
the work done for them at nominal cost
by Joining a contrasting association.
AS ordinarily conducted, q contrasting
association is an organization of about
% dairy farmers who comparatively
employ a man to test their COW for
economical production. The tester
not only weighs the milk and the feed
but he tests the milk for butterfat and
assists the farmers In feeding their
cows according to production.
Before the formation of a contrasting
association in a certain dairy district
few farmers fed grain to their dry
cows, and none fed a balanced ration
to any of their cows; prepared feeds
Of unknown merit were largely used
and some farmers dished up the grain
with a scoop shovel and fed all their
cows alike, regardless of production.
Through the active cooperation of
all the members Of the association
those conditions were rapidly changed.
Better feeding of dry COWS increased
the milk flow during the next lactation
period; the use of a wefl-balanced ra-
ton brought about more economical
feeding, and abandoning the scoop.
shovel method and feeding concentrates
according to production greatly re-
duced the cost Of feed. However, the
elimination Of low producers that did
not respond to better feed and care eff
fected the greatest saving of all. In
some herds these changes more than
doubled the income over cost of feed.
The dairymen belonging to that asso.
citation demonstrated that it pays to
keep good cows and to feed them well.
The contrasting association records
clearly show that the most practical.
f%ar-reaching, and vitality important
facts connected with the economical
production Of milk may be grouped log.
ically under these three heads: Selec.
ton. breeding. feeding. Careful and In.
tellIgent feeding, care, and manage

tair level, but the highest level can

New Compact Fire Escape.

One Of the boys aboard our navy's
fleet has invented Il fire escape which
is similar to the rope ladders used
aboard ships. His principal object was
to provide a collapsible fire escape
which could be compacted and con-
veniently arranged mt the window of Il
dwelling. 1t consists of Il container
hinged to the sill in such a manner
that by opening the window and fold
ing the container IN its hinges the
metal ladder may be unfolded and
dropped. When this operation is gone
through, a means is automatically pro-
vided whereby the ladder is held at a
distance from the walls Of the build
ing. The advantage of such %precaution
is obvious.

the medicine is p~asteurized and sealed
