IN the Dublin museum a stuffed

had swallowed. In the stomach OF
the cod were found two large herrings.
In each herring were several sprats.

number of tiny crustsceans, or shell

Canning Compounds Are
Unsafe and Unnecessary

Brookings. S. OAK, July 22.-lt Is
-nnecessar to use patent compounds
to secure good results in canning veg
etabIes and furthermore II is unsafe,
suggests Roberta Mcneil, home dem
onstration leader OF the State college
extension division. The keeping quail
tiles Of canning compounds are due
to their poisonous effect on the bacter-
la which cause the food TO spoil.
Their action does not cease when the
food enters the body While the in-
furious results may not be noticeable
the action is not beneficial. No woman
would be guilty OF giving her family
poison even In small does unless pre-
scribed by a physician.
Miss Mcneil sags that the use OF
patent compounds or any preserving
powder is entirely unnecessary since
food may be kept perfectly II care and
cleanliness are exercised while carry
ing on the canning operation. Hun
dreds of thousands of cans Of fruit
vegetables and meats were canned
successfully In South Dakota last
year by the cold pack method without
any compound whatever and the re
suits FAR, surpassed the ordinary com
mercial pack. Any woman may secure

CAREFULLY KILL ALL WEEDS
OF Much Importance That No Noxious
Plant Become Large Enough
to Produce Seeds.

Weeds keep on coming up all
through the season, and must be care
fully removed, for a single weed may
produce enough seed to infest the
whole garden next season. So it is
important that no weeds become large
enough to produce and ripen seed.
The use of stable manure is source
of fresh infection, as this usually con-
tains many weed seeds. This danger
may be avoided by using only we'll
rotted manure on the garden, keeping
fresh manure in a compost heap for
at least six months. The seeds will
be sprouted or killed by the heating
of the manure. Some Of the plant food
is lost by composing, but it is made
up by the better physical condition of
the manure.

The national swine show for 1919

TENDER 20 to October 4. This annual
event is without doubt the most impOr-
tant one connected with the swine in
dustry. At the 1918 show held at Ce-
dar Rapids, Iowa, the United States
department Of agriculture made an ex-
hibit of smoked meats. 1t Is the in
tention of the department this year
to make a much larger exhibit than it
did in 1918. In addition to the show
ing of smoked meats, the methods of
curing meats in different ways will be
explained. The home curing of pork
is one being studied by many farmers
who have heretofore been in the habit
of purchasing their meats from the To-
cal dealer.

NICKEL BY NICKEL
Newspaper Man DribbIed His
Profit to Beggar.
Little Transaction by Which Scribe
Thought He Was to Make $2.65
Didn't End in Just That
Desired Way.

"A newspaper friend Of NINE" said
Mr.. Gosllngton, "tells me of an I'M
usual experience he has had. in fact is
still having with a beggar.
"He met this beggar first about
year ago. The circumstances attend
ing this first meeting were novel and
interesting and my friend wrote lit
tie piece about 1t which was printed
in his newspaper and for which he
received So. AS he had given the
beggar a nickel he figured that his
net profit on this was $295. But:
"A couple Of weeks later he again
met this beggar, who again asked for
a nickel, request that my friend did
not feel warranted In refusing. I
don't think he would have refused any
way, my friend being an easy mark
for beggars; but having proflted by
his original transaction with this beg
gar he felt impelled to hand over this
second nickel promptly, thus reducing
his net on this little piece to $3.50.
at wasn't long before my friend
discovered that this beggar lived some
where in his neighborhOod and made
that part of the town his quarry for
now he used to meet him here and
there by intervals. Not always, by
any means, when they met did the
beggar approach him; commonly they
passed each other as any other two
might do, with no sign Of recognition;
but once in a while the beggar would
ask for nickel, which always my
friend gave. In this way In the course
of three months he gave up 35 cents,
thus reducing the net Of that So to
$2.65. Then my friend had an idea.
"He foresaw that If this went on
Indefinitely, as there seemed every in
| dication 1t would do, the beggar would
get all of the So, which to my friend
seemed scarcely reasonable. But he
| did think that an even division would
be no more than right to the beggar,
and so when the So got down to $2.65
he set aside, in his mind, $1.15 as a
drawing account to the beggar's credit,
and he said to himself that when thus
the original fund had been evenly d.
vlded he would stop giving and con-
slider that he had done the square
thing
"Well, my friend tells me that, count
ing nickel that the beggar drew yes
terday, he has now drawn S1.40, SO
that now 1t is a question of very few
weeks only, three or four at the u.
most, when the beggar will have drawn
his full share.
"Then. my friend says, he is 60
ing to shut down and keep the rest
himself; but what think he will dc
will be to keep on paying till the
whole three dollars is gone. his orig
inal profit being thus wiped out com
pletely. l don't know what he can d.
then, unless he should write, covering
all his experiences with this unusua
beggar, another and longer story; NOV
ing then to another part of the city,"

Chinese Railways Busy.

Latest reports indicate that the 5000
miles of government railways carry
annually more than 25,000.000 passeD-
gers a total of 1,000,000.000 miles.
Thirty-seven per cent of the receipts
of the government railways come from
the passenger service. On five of the
lines the passenger revenues exceed
those from transportation of goods.
Nluety-fve per cent Of the passenger
traffic is third-class at an average fare
of one cent a mile. which means a
large amount of travel by the poorer
classes
Wide macadamlzed highways are
