THE FIELDS.

ut was in the summer time that the
fields were waving and chatting and
saying these things to each other. OF
course they were at their best and the
season had been just right for them.
There had been enough rain but
not too much, enough sunshine hut
not too much. In fact, it had been
quite q perfect season so far.
"The fields always spoke of things
having been nice so far for they never
knew what the weather was going to
be any more than the farmers did, and
they heard the farmers talking in that
way to each other.
$50 the fields used to wonder If IL
would be dry and without even any
showers for the rest Of the season, or
whether it would rain every day and
hurt them!
"But this special day they were feel
ing very we'll and very happy.
I'm so good for food said the
barley field. 4 am pretty and feathery,
too
"T'm such a lovely pale green COLOR
said the oats.
"tAnd l am good and substantial
looking said the winter wheat.
"T am very good for the feed Of
animals said the oats, and s. are
peas
"'I come in pretty usefully myself
said the winter wheat.
"'How about me- asked the sorrel,
a plant with yelloWish blossoms,
"'All right said the oats, but l am
such Il lovely shade Of green
"'You admire yourself, ehY asked
the sorrel.

$50 do L. remarked the winter
wheat.
"'And l like myself, too said the
barley field. we are liked by Others
it added.

wheat.
"'Ah, ali, ali, don't boast too much,'
said a voice.
land who are you, pray tellY the
fields asked. why shouldn't we boast
when we have something to boast for?'

chopped lemons. This is especially
recommended for fields containing
mixtures Of grass and cowpeas, cow-
peas and sorghum, or fields in which
grass has been consumed by the cat
erpillars.
Do not pasture stock in fields where
the grass or other crops have been
sprayed with a poison mixture until
after heavy rains have fallen, and not
before three weeks after the applica,
ton of the insecticides.

"'You may boast said the voice,
but not too much for l want to do
some Of it myself
Then the fields noticed that the
voice came from the direction Of the
clover hay field.
"'Oh, ho,' said winter wheat, so
clover hay wants to do some talking
"'Certainly,' said clover hay.
"'Well, what have you to say for
yourselfY asked the others.

get a good chance at it.

perfectly right

HINTS FOR H
POULTRY GROWER

Chicken mites are a constant men
ace TO the flock. They curtail egg-pro-
duction, hinder growth, reduce vitality
and sometimes cause the death of set
ting hens.
The pOultry-keeper must maintain a
constant warfare on these pests that
reduce his profits.
They multiply very rapidly in warm
weather. Their life cycle from egg to
adult requires only about n weeks
time. Blood is essential for the de-
velopment Of the mite in all stages
of growth. They are active at night
when the hens are on the roosts, and
chicks are in the coOps, sucking blood
until they are full and then returning
TO cracks and crevices during the day.
To combat them, hiding places must
be reduced to the minimum, and an
effective spray must penetrate every
crack and crevice where they may be
hiding.
There are a number Of good mix
lures that have proven effective in
COutTOlllnS tHeSe lHSeCIS.
Crude petroleum thinned with one
part Of kerosene to four quarts Of
crude oil is cheap, and retains it's kill
ing power for several weeks. Five
parts cream of lime, one part c~reolin,
and n part kerosene Is q favorite
mixture with many poultrymen. Pure
kerosene and kerosene emulsion, are
used with success, if frequently ap-
piled.
These mixtures should be forced
into all their hiding places with a
Bprayer or brush.
Remove as many internal appli-
hnces as possible, roosts, nests, hop
pers, ETC., and give them an applica-
ton OF the mixture out Of doors.
To be the most effective, the sOlu-
tons should be forced into all badly
infested quarters; and sides, floor and
ever roof must be treated.
The work should be done on pleas
ant days when the flock can be out
side, and the coops and poultry house
may be closed for a few hours after
applying the mixture so that the wood
work may dry. Keep the pests in sub
lection by frequent applications Of
some mixture during the summer
months.

Prescriptions May Best
Be Filled by Those Vino
Think They Are AiIing

If people always knew beforehand
just what the doctors prescription
would be, most Of the time il would
be quite unnecessary to consult a doc
tor.
A patient with a vague and indie.
terminate complaint sought out the
late DIR. Weir Mitchell and elaborate
ly described what she thought were
the symptoms of imminent collapse.
The famous physician heard her out
with courteous gravity, wrote a line
or two on a bit of paper and then
said: "Take this to the drug store
across the street and they will fill il
for you"
When the ailing hypochondriac
showed the paper TO the apothecary, he
smiled and handed it back.
I'm afraid you'n have to fill this
out yourself, madam" he said deferen.

AMERICAS BURDENS


Burdens to my shoulders / nave lifted
singing;
Not for me the silence of the surly slave.
Through primeval forests l my YAK went
swinging,
Til the gloomy wildwood light and shell
ter gave.
All the unknown mysteries on my Shout
ders pressing,
Hunger and the fierce beasts and the
savage men,
Yet 1 laughed, my musket's shining lock
caresslng-
Soon the dead lay quiet and the wound
ed sought their den.
Loneliness in deserts, soul and body thirst
ing,
Harvests long awaited burned by cruel
sun;
I have watched the torrents my cams
strong barriers bursting;
1 nave laughed and lost, and l have
laughed and won.
Borne full oft the weight of war and
women's weeping,
But ! never faltered on my destined
way.
Now the world such burden of hopes on
me is heaping,
Faint my spirit grows and ] feel my
body sway.
Freedom OF the p~rair'>s, winds from
mountains blowing.
Dreams and clean achievements my
heritage rave been:
Strength has flowed to meet me and
strength from me is flowing,
World! I'll show you visions that mine
eyes have seen.

The army worm feeds by pref

Grizzly Bear Is Fond of
Big Variety of Eatables

The appetite of the grizzly is one
OF the few drawbacks to his dOmestica-
ton. His tastes are not limited, but
he deals in large quantities. In some
respects the grizzly is a dainty feeder.
He is fond, for instance, Of ~violets, and
will eat several pounds if he can find
them. He likes rosebuds and will de-
YOUR almost any sort of bulb. On the
other hand, he will eat meat Of any
age. Apples and turnips are perhaps
his favorite d~elicacies, but he also is
fond OF honey. Usually, he eats the
bees with 1T. Wasps, yellow Jackets,
grasshoppers, ants and their eggs,
bugs and all sort Of grubs are also on
his menu. Other delicacies which he
enjoys are snakes, rats, mice and rab-
bits.

A Good Kind of Dessert.

There is no dessert nor wholesome,
attractive and well liked than fruit.
Muskmelons, watermelons, berries of
various kinds in season when grown in
ones own garden or purchased at a
reasonable price, are wonderful savers
of time in dessert making.
When one cannot afford to serve
fruit as a full dessert it may be used
as n garnish, thus helping out the APP
pearance and flavor as well as the cost
of the dessert.
Junket is a most wholesome and de-
licious dessert and when garnlshed
with a spoonful Of sugared, fresh fruit,
is satisfying and inexpensive.

WORDS OF WISE MEN

In a strong mind fear grows
up into cautious sagacity, grief
into amiable tenderness.
What we do not believe Is of
no Importance. The secret Of
life Is to discover what we be-
iieve.
1t Is usually not so much the
greatness Of our trouble, but the
littleness of our spirit, that
makes us complain.
Sorrow does not really change
people; it only develops what is
already in them ; that which they
bring to 1t they will reap from
Il.

A PEACE TIME PROBLEM

Peace problems are no less pressing
than those of war. Every communi-
ty has them. They are not less i'm
portant or urgent than war tasks be-
cause they are problems of peace.
San Juan has her peculiar problems
just as New York or New Orleans or
Oshkosh.
One of them is transportation.
Proper preparedness would have
prevented the necessity of facing this
problem just as preparedness would
have made Allied Victory come sooner.
Little attention has been paid to
the city's transportation needs since
1912. Then the Legislature and the
City jointly studied the City's trans
portation problem and decided that
double-tracking was necessary.
The solution then considered i'm
perative has not yet been brought
about because of terms which made
double tracking impossible.

Race and Religion

Admission of Negroes to trade
unions is Oh the increase. This is
one Of the most hopeful signs Of
advance in the entire labor mo-
vement. History, not only in
America, but throughout the
world, proves that differences in
race or religion between neigh
boring group are in the long run
used principally for their eco
nomic exploitation. Just as the
Romanoffs set Jews and Chris
tians at each others thrOats, so
the Hapsburgs played the various
races and creeds of Austria
against each other. Irish land
lordism, the reaP enemy of all
Irishmen, has sedulously fostered
oil hatreds between Catholics and
PrOtestants, and incidentally
prolonged it's own life by many
years, while it's dupes fought
each other, blind to the fact that
landlordism is the common enemy
of both. The use of racial antago-
nism in America is well illus
trated by the frequent practice of
mine operators and steel compa-
nies in the employment of labor
ers as divergent as possible i'll
race, language and creed. Each
barrier to friendly intercourse
among the workers makes their
exploitation easier. So with
whites and Negroes. Social anita
gonisms carried over into the
economic field have been used by
interests that will exploit a white
man as really as a black man.
