Insects In Glaciers.

Few people know that in the gla-
ciers Of the western national parks
live several species Of minute insects,
hopping about like tiny fleas. They
are harder to see than the so-called
sand feas of the seashore, because
MUCH smaller. Slender, dark brown
worms live in countless millions in the
surface ice. Microscopic. rose-colored
plants also thrive in such vast num-
hers that they tint the surface here
and there.

Date Trees Flourish in Arizona.

That dates can be made to thrive
in Arizona is being demonstrated by
the agricultural experiment station OF
the University of Arizona, whose or
chards contain sos trees, representing
125 different varieties. The fruit fs
ripened artificially and marketed in
the East. Alkaline soil and the avail
able water of the region appear to be
well suited to the needs of the date

fruit for 100 years.

Pure Bred Livestock.
Mrs. Ed Neiderfrank Of Greeley has
just returned from sale of pure bred
Shorthorns at Mount Pleasant, Iowa.
1t is alleged that she has secured
a S145O sire for the head OF her herd.
Some folks whose ancestors date back
to the time of Adam have always
maintained that woman is not capa-
tice. We are pleased to note this pro-
gress as it is another rung in the lad
der of fame which Delaware County
is preparing for itself in the produc-
ton of Shorthorns.
Join The Farm Bureau.
A report has just been received from
California which shows an average of
the Farm Bureau membership to be
in the majority of the counties, 652
members. Some of the counties of
Iowa have close to 1000. If Delaware
County expects to secure the results
from the Farm Bureau it must furnish
more members its benefits are in di-
rect proportion to the number invol-
we'd. Have you done your part in
Joining the association and lining
yourself up with the moment. 1t is
fostered by both the State and Nation
al Governments. Do not wait to be
canvassed for your membership. Pre-
sent yourself to some member of the
Farm Bureau or write to the Central
office direct and they will be glad TO
tell you the benefits of the Farm Blu
reau and to assist you in securing
membership. The fee Is $500 a year
and the members sign up for three
years.

haydn's cheerfufness.

Carpani, the poet, once asked his
friend, Haydn. 'how 1t happened that
his church music was almost always of
an animating, cheerful and even g4y
description" 10 this Haydn's answer
was: Il cannot make it otherwise. I
write according to the thoughts which
I feel. When l think upon God my
heart is so full Of JOY that the notes
dance and leap, as it. We're, from my
pen, and since God has given me a
cheerful heart, it will be easily for
given me that serve him with cheer
full spirit"

When Love Comes.

As long as you don't love anybody
much, your character is like a gar
den in winter, one virtue is under a
glass shade. and another is covered
over with straw, and all of them are
dreadfully pinched and sickly. Then
love comes by and it is summer and
your garden rejoices and blossoms
like the rose, without your botherins
about it at all-Ellen Thorneycroft

Useful Substitute.

Not least novel of substitutes IL the
use of iron in place of wool for fill
tering air for compressors and for
cooling electrical apparatus. The new
filter is provided with long and crook
ed passages, in which dust particles
are held up by the sharp turns and
simple friction along the Strafghter
portions of the route. The air Is
quite free from moisture. Little press
ure is necessary. and the cleaning
seems to be quite effective.

LAYING TILE.

1t has been mentioned that the Farm
Bureau is going to secure specialist
to assist farmers in laying out their
thing system. This specialist will
probably be secured for the month of
August. Farmers who are interested
should inquire at the Farm Bureau. Of
flee for details. Any farmer contem-
plating putting in a thing system
should consider the following points.
l. Don't let anyone" lay your tile.
Tile go deep in the ground and are COW
cred up, SO place the work in the hands
of competent person, and be assured
the tile are right.
2. Don't lay any but sound tile.
Test each tile by striking it with a
piece of metal and if it gives clear
sound it is o. k Cracked or Gull tile
may fail at any time, and it only takes
one failed tile to ruin the line.
3. Don't use tile too small. 1t costs
no more to lay 4-inch tile than to a
3-inch, and in addition the 4-inch will
carry rs per cent more water than the
other.
4. Don't lay tile too near the sur
face. Place them down beUeen three
and four feet; they are then not so
much affected by frost, and will draw
from larger area.
5. Don't make any more curves or
bends than are necessary and avoid
short branches.
6. Don't forget that the man above
can turn his water onto your land, and
you have to care for it. Be sure you
consider his grade and watershed.

Marine Tips.

Sailors have curious way of know
ing when their ship is approaching
land. They go to mother nature for
their knowledge. If you are ON the
ship they may ask you to feel the
deck, which is wet with dew. Even
though the stars are shining clearly.
and the sea absolutely smooth. the
deck seems as though water had. been
poured across it. The sailor will
then inform you that dew is never to
be found more than thirty miles from
land. so the dew is good prophet.

The Door.

Few persons realize what modern
convenience is the familiar door. No
primitive peoples have. or ever did
have, doors; the great temples OF
Egypt and of Greece had doorways,
of course. but no doors. Often there
were silks and tapestries hung over
the doorways or doors or gates; but
the door proper is absolutely an I'M
provement. even luxury, Of modern
civilization.

Only Foolish Depend on Luck.

The person who depends upon luck
may find advancement for time. but
any success which is founded upon
luck or privilege is bound to be un-
stable. Take any great man or wom-
an who has reached the top and you
will find that they have fought every
step Of the way. 1t is never an easy
thing to climb high hill. but there
Is always good view at the top.
If we are content to stand at the bot
tom and see other people climb, that
Is up to us.

TILE AND BUILDING EXPERT.

IA
~ The Farm Bureau is securing a
specialist who will take up various
farm problems during the fall and win
ter. A. this time we wish to call at
tention to the fact that we IRE secur-
Ing a specialist who will make ind'vi-
dual farm visits and attend meetings
iu t:der to discuss problems in tilinr
and buildings on fa,Ts. Farmers who
are interested in constructing new
buildings or laying out definite til
ing system on the farm should get in
touch with the Farm Bureau. The ex-
pense of such specialist will be very
small and will be apportioned among
the various farms on which work is
done. If you are interested get in
touch with the County Agents Office
in the near future.
Cow Testing Association.
Several farmers have requested that
a COW testing association be organized
in Delaware County. The work of
these testing associations has become
so well established over the United
States that dairymen would not be
without the service. Farmers have re-
ported to the Farm Bureau office that
they know they have cows that do not
pay for their feed let alone the labor
expended on them. Testing associa-
ton will assist men in wedding out
such cows. Instances are at hand in
which eight cows out of a herd of
twelve gave greater returns than the
twelve did before put to the test. The
cost of feed has advanced to such a
point that it is necessary to Gull out
the non-producers. A few non,produc-
ing cows will lessen the profits on
a fairly large herd. If you do not be-
lieve it try weighing. the milk pro-
ducts of your cows for a peroid of
thirty or sixty days, testing this milk
and keeping record of the feed con-
sumed.
Farmers who are interested in or
ganizing a COW testing association in
Delaware County are requested to take
the matter up with the County Agent
and furnish statement relative to
the number of cows, location of farm
and other items that would enter in
to the matter of cost. Now that the
war is over it will be easier to secure
a testing expert who can conduct the
work.
OnnOSed fO Now Tinnn
The Farm Bureau has gone on re-
cord as being opposed to the day
light saving law. Petitions are to be
circulated through the county and
through the efforts Of District Coop
orators farmers are being requested
to sign these petitions. They will be
forwarded to the Farm Bureau Fed
GRAFTON where similar petitions from
every county in the state of Iowa will
be forwarded, and then to Washing
