MUCH Difference IN HUMOR
Brand Highly Thought Of in One Coun-
try Is Not Always Appreciated
in Others.

When Coleridge said, mo mind is
thoroughly well organized that is de
ficient in the sense of humor," he ex-
pressed a conviction that seems COM
mon to all civilized men, and makes
each nation take pride in its humor
and perhaps suspect that other nations
enjoy a somewhat inferior brand. Yet
comparisons of humor shows, broadly
speaking. that the peoples of the world
are much alike. In the Tourist, pub
lished in Tokyo, a japanese author, for
example. remarks that humor sis in
deed the flower of life, and life with
out it would be as dreary as spring
without its blossoms. To illustrate, he
translates a number of Japanese anec-
dotes, funny stories," as the United
States might call them, but one does
not smile over them. Neither, on Sec
ond thought, does one smile over many
of the funny stories" in American
magazines and newspapers Humor
which really amuses is everywhere

Ghost Altogether Too Real,

One of the most amusing mishaps
that ever happened in any production
of Sir Henry Irving was in Hamlet"
during the first appearance of the
ghost. The actor impersonating the
dead king of Denmark was suddenly
seized with a violent fit of sneezing,
but sought valiantly to go on with his
lines, thereby giving a new and curl
Gus rendering to the words: Hamlet
-achou Il am-achou thy fathers
-achou l-spirit!' The house was in
an uproar, and when next the ghost
appeared a chorus of sneezes resound-
ed from the gallery and another cpl
sode of the great tragedian went from
the sublime to the ridiculous.

prices. Because of decreased Operat-
ing expenses, dealers in the market
can sell at considerably reduced prices
and still make the same margin Of
net profit as the average storekeeper.
AS matter of fact, they can well
afford to take a somewhat smaller
margin of profit, since fair reduction
of prices as compared with other COM
petitOrs will attract more customers
and so will build up the volume of
their business and increase the rapid
ity of their turnover. The result will
be that the aggregate net income built
from a large number of small unit
profits, together with saving in waste
OF goods due to their rapid movement,
will be greater-and often very much
greater-than incomes built by private
service" stores from larger but fewer
profits which are subject to reduction
from spoilage because of slow move
ment of goods.

Shark Salad Wins Favor.

Shark meat is delicate in flavor and

certain parts of Florida, but the fish
ermen do not catch them because they

man caught one, but warned her that
no one would eat it. Undismayed, she

to home economics luncheon at which
was served a fish salad. When all
had tasted the salad she asked for a
vote as to how many liked it and
wanted the recipe. Without exception
the women voted their hearty ap-
prevail, and thus proved to themselves
that their prejudice was without

CAREFULLY KILL ALL WEEDS
OF Much Importance That No Noxous
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 a 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.

Modern methods of merchan-

OF the country, should be
brought to the attention of deal

functions, and he should be Sc

his knowledge of merchandising.
his enthusiasm and his ability
to inspire confidence in and OBJ
tain results from the class of
men who operate market stalls.
The manager should get his
dealers together from time to
time and talk to them on mer-
chandising methods. He should
spend much time il the market
observing operations and sug-
=, costing improvements, and
should let it be understood
that he will be glad at any time
to help in the solution of any
problem that may arise.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
There are two systems in use for the
feeding of fowls. in one of which all
the feed is given dry and in the other
of which one or more of the daily feeds
consists of a moistened mash. For
convenience they may be termed the
dry feed" and the "mash" systems,
although in the dry feed system a dry
mash is often fed. Dry feeding is used
by many where it is not convenient to
make and feed a moistened mash
The greatest advantages to be derived
from the dry system are the saving of
labor and the lessened danger of bowel
trouble resulting from sloppy or sOured
mashes.

BEST GRASS FOR PASTURAGE
Mixture of AIsike Glover, Alfalfa,
Red Glover and Timothy Is
Most Excellent.

A mixture of alsike clover, three
pounds, alfalfa two pounds, red clover
three pounds and timothy six pounds
per acre is much cheaper and better
for pasture than red clover alone. be-
cause it comes on in the spring two or
three weeks earlier than most other
grasses.
In some instances this combination
has more than doubled the carrying
capacity of an acre of blue grass alone.
A first-class pasture of this kind will
easily carry two 1,000-pound steers on
an acre in spring and early summer.
and as a usual thing will carry more
than one such steer during the re-
mainder of the pasture season.
