When Spiders Mott.

When a spider is preparing to mott
it stops eating for several days and
fastens itself by a short line of web
to one of the main lines of its snare.

TO undress. The skin cracks oil around
the thorax, and is held only by the

Is limp and helpless for several min

little boy watched the nlolting of

DRAGGING IS OF IMPORTANCE
sFioad Impr kemeft May Well Be Con.
sidered RECONSTRUCTION Measure
lncreases Farm Values.

Roads should not be neglected ut this
time in our endeavor to increase food
production. Road Improvement might
well be deemed reconstruction meas
ure. In many communities they are
much better than in others because the
farmers are back of the good roads
movement. They realize that good
road saves labor, time. horse flesh and
automobile repairs and In addition in
creases the selling value of the farm
Every progressive farmer should
have a road drag and not be afraid to
use it. A well-dragged road is we'll
crowned road, and well-drained road.
The dragging should follow each rain.
If properly used 1t win bring a thin lay
err of earth toward the center of the
road at each dragging. The travel will
roll and solidify it between rains.
On roads where too much crown has
been formed the angle Of the drag can
be reversed. A few draggings win re-
duee the high crown to a more level
and much safer road for fast automo-
bile traffic.

ADVANTAGES OF FARM MULE
viii Take Better Care of Himself
Than Horse-Also Less Subject
to Digestive Disorders.

The mule has certain decided adj
vantages as work animal. For the
man who does not know how or is I'M
willing to give his horses a reason
able amount of care, the mule is the
better animal, because he will take
better care of himself than will the
horse.
The mule is naturally more able to
stand hot weather than is the horse.
He will slow down when the work be-
comes hard and the weather hot,
whereas a horse will begin to fret,
and thus will be even more likely to
become overheated. Hence, mule is
safer in the hands of careless or in
coGpetent driver.
The mule requires less grain and
will readily consume more roughage
than will a workhorse doing the same
amount of work. The mule is less
subject to digestive disorders.
Another important consideration is
that a mule does not depreciate in
value so much from age and hard
usage as does horse.

eeat is Regiments Pet.

As a rule, regimental pets are AMI
mails which are more easily donesti-
Gated. such as the goat of the Royal
Welsh fusiliers, who have long en-
joyed the privilege of leading theil
pet. with shield on its horns, at the
head of the drums.
On ST. David's day, after dinner,
the drum major, accompanied by Billy,
enters the messroom with a dish OF
leeks. He solemnly makes the round
of the table. followed by the goat, and
offers the national vegetable to each
officer.
Even in the case of such a pet ac-
cidents. however, sometimes have hap
pened. Once drummer's boy, a light
weight, was on the goats back, when
some incident annoyed the animal and
the youngster was summariIy thrown
on the mess table and killed outright.

EMBODIED TIE GERMAN IDEA
Mother OF the Great Napoleon Might
Well Be Described as TYPICAL
Teutoa "Hausfrau."

Probably the only marble bust OF
Napoleon's mother was one Of the OH
jects that the Potsdam palace counted
its most interesting relic. For beside
the bust the visitor came upon a small
library every title of which relates to
the Bonaparte family. This collection
is vaguely accounted for as the fruit
of Blucher's capture of the emperor's
personal luggage, beside the seizure of
most of the Bonaparte family when the
empire fell in 1914. Prussian agents
in Paris during the various revolution
airy outbreaks are credited with "as-
sembling" anything identified with
Bonaparte or his family. One volume,
the alleged Memoirs of Madame
Mere" (the mother of Bonaparte)
was specially cherished by the Hohen-
zOllerns, for old Kaiser Wilhelm
caused the chapters to be read to him
when too Ill to share the soldier drills
and army maneuvers. The kalser's in
terest in the Madame Mere reminis-
cences was that Laetitia RamOnini,
as pictured by herself. was an exact
type of the TeutOn "hausfrau." It was
a never-ending embarrassment to the
children of Madame Mere that the old
lady couldn't be induced to assume an
imperial state; that she remained to
the last the sagacious, economical
housewife, upon whom rested the re-
Sponsibility of bringing up n brood Of
eight.

ROOTS FOR FEEDING CATTLE
Chief Function Is to Supply Succu-
Eence-Have Special Applica-
ton for Cows Only.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of AgricuIture.)
The chief function of roots in cattle
feeding is to supply srcculent feed.
Under general farm conditions the
quantity of nutrients grown per acre
In root crops is small in comparison
to the cost of production. These root
crops, however, can be preserved DUR
ing the winter equally well whether
large or small quantities are fed
each day, and therefore have special
application when only few cows are
to be fed. OF the different root crops
mangel WurzeIs furnish the greatest
geld per acre. Other kinds Of beets
and turnips and carrots may be used.
Turnips, however. should be fed after
milking rather than before. as they
cause bad flavor III the products II

SUGAR GROWN UNDER PAPER
New Method Introduced Into The Ha-
waiian Islands Said to Have Prov
ed Highly Successful.

A new and very odd method Of grow
ing sugar cane is proving highly sue
cessful in the Hawaiian islands When
the cane is beginning to sprout, yard
wide strips of heavy kind of paper
are laid lengthwise over the rows Of
little plants and held in place with
cane-field trash. The paper is strong
enough to keep down and smother the
starting weeds, but not to kill the
stout and hardy young cane. In five
or six weeks the weed seeds beneath
the paper have all terminated and
been smothered to death. but the cane
shoots have either forced their way
through or erected themselves suffi-
GENTLY to make little tent-like eleva-
tons. Laborers then pass along the
rows and with long knives make Sits in
the sheets, permitting the shoots to
come through. The liberated shoots at
first are blanched white, but quickly
turn green and lusty. Wedding there
after is almost wholly needless. be-
cause there are very few weeds. There
is an increase of ten tons (about % per
cent? in the yield of cane per acre, the
Baltimore Sun says. Half the labor is
saved and the production of actual SUI
gar per acre is augmented by more
than ton. The paper used is made
out of 'bagasse," which is the residue
of the cane after the sugary sap has
been squeezed out of it. y

PROBLEMS IN WINTER FEEDS

The problems involved in winter

Broadly speaking, there are two fac

PROTECT CATTLE IN WINTER

Lot and Provided With Wind
break OF Some Kind.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agricuiture)
During the winter beef steers should
be kept in dry lot and provided with
windbreak from the north or given
free access to an open shed. In some
sections of the South weather condi-
tons alone may not justify open sheds,
but when the saving of feed and ma
nure and the protection of pastures
from tramping in wet weather are con-
sidered such sheds will prove to be
profitable investments. Breeding ami
mails may require even more protection
during severe weather than an open
shed would provide.

SHEEP AS WEED DEsTRoYERs
Common Practice in Some Sections to
Turn Lambs Into Cornfields
to Clean Up Rows.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
Sheep are extremely valuable as
weed destsoyers, and they can be
shifted from field to field as crops per-
init, where they will clean up the fence
rows. In some parts of the country
it is common practice to turn the
lambs, at weaving time, into the corn
fields, where they destroy weeds, but
do not injure the corn. Where the
corn ears stand up fairly high, sheep
may be turned in after corn is laid by.
They may eatsan occasional ear that

REGULATING NECESSARY

During the rush of spring
work milkings in the morning I
will be done on time but at night
the danger is in leaving this
work for the women folks to do
or until after dark. No graver
mistake can be made. A COW

without every pound of grain
costing two prices. Don't save !

is down and they will trim up the
lower blades of the corn, but they will
not ''ride" the stalks down as hogs do.
The benefit which they thus render is
much greater than the damage they
do.
Woven wire fence is convenient for
combining sheep to specified areas, es-
pecially when this area is in corn,
since the cornstalks serve very well
as posts to which to tie the wire net
ting. Corner posts should, of course,
be more substantial.
Sheep may be used also to destroy
weeds in fields that are not planted
in crops, along roadways, and in waste
places, thus tending to clean up the
whole place and reduce the weed seeds
that may be blown in or tracked in on
cultivated fields. On the ordinary
farm sheep are better than goats for
this purpose, since they are more cas-
lily confined.

are published in the newspapers and
furnished to the different automobile
clubs, thus becoming available to auto
mobile and motortruck drivers passing
over the highway. The forecasts and
warnings are given public distribution
and telegraphed to the superintendent
of highways at Harrisburg, who gives
instructions to his forces along the
highway to make provisions for the
anticipated weather conditions. This
service was in operation last winter
and gave great satisfaction. The
weather bureau is ready to give SINH
lar service to other traffic routes as
may be desired.
