she hvitei the men to write their re-.
quests on SHIPS Of paper and place them
upon the piano. Among the Sins wa,

Does Jesus Care? ?"
The lady was not familiar with m.
nymn' but she memorized the music
and words and sang it. Although she
shook hands with all the men in the
large nut as they went out no one
spoke to her about the hvmn.
Several months later she was sin,in,

soldier came to her and explained that
years ago that hymn had been blessed
to him in one of DR.. Torrey's missions,
and he thanked her for singing it so
readily. They both realized the
strangeness of their meeting so re-
peatedly and felt that a Divine provi-
dence was emphasizing the meaning
of the hymn.
Some months afterwards the lady
visited a big hospital In ward af-
ter ward she sang to the sick and
wounded. Then she was asked if she
would sing in the isolation ward,
where only the hopeless and most ex.
IRENE cases were kept. The singer
declares that she will never forget the
sad sights of that ward One man,
she was told, had been very anxious to
speak to her ever since he heard that
She was coming. They drew aside the
curtains of bed where the man lay
in semidarkness. He was very ill,
hardly likely to live more than an
hour or so. In a faint whisper he
said to the singer:
"Will you-please sing Does-Jesus
Care?"
Looking closer, she saw THAT it was
her friend of the previous meetings
now lying at deaths very door. Con-
trolling her emotion, she went to the
piano and softly and sweetly sang the
tender message Of the love OF Jesus.
While she sang he died. The Divine
Love that had kept pace with him
every step Of the way had opened the
gates Of pearl to his tortured spirit.
Is it any wonder that the singer
loves that hymn above all others?

The Most WelcomeTire
That Ever Came to Market


In every great tire factory, the
chief question is: How much can
we give for the money!" And the
product depends on the policy
adopted.
Every man who has become ac-
ouainted with Brunswick Tires
knows that Brunswick standards
are again evident. This famous con-
Germ noted as a leader in every
line it entered since 1845-has once
more proved that its policy is right.
A perfect tire is simply a matter
Of knowledge and standards and
skill. No secrets nor patents pre-
vent making an ideal tire.
But standards come first. For in
tire making there is vast room for
skinping, for subtle economies, for
hidden shortcomings. Makers with
out the highest standards don't
build high-grade tires.
The Brunswick organization of
tire makers includes brilliant staff
of technical experts. Not man

To unnumbered city folk the bottle
of milk they find on the porch each
morning represents practically the
sum of their daily contact with rural
people. And this prominence Of the
milk bottle or rather Of its contents,
has financial significance not fully
appreciated by the many farmers liv-
ing within the zones from which the
city's milk supply comes. The condi-
ton in which the milk arrives Mt the
consumers kitchen depends upon the
carefulness of several agencies, but
as dairy experts of the United States
department of agriculture and others
have repeatedly emphasized, the dairy
mans position In this matter is par
ticularly important, for laxness on his
part may carry III effects to the con-
sumer despite all subsequent precau-
lions by others who handle the milk.
THE public understands this pretty
clearly and is placing increasing I'm
p0rtance on the condition of diaries,
large and small.
Consumers Demand Cleanliness.
II they display any tendency toward
laxness, farmers who supply most big
milk dealers are speedily required to
correct their practices and conform to
high sanitary standards. But there
are a great many who do not have the
advantage Of such advice and regula-
ton. Experience has proved that no
milk dealer small or large. can afford
to jeopardize his market by insani-
tary practices. The day is almost
sure to come, perhaps unexpectedly
early, when some village or city in
spector, or inquisitive, aggressive GUS
toner will start out to ascertain con-
ditions at the source of his milk sup
ply When that time of reckoning ar
rives. experienced milk dealers point
| out, the farmer who has been alert to
keep his daily equipment In approved
fashion will profit In dollars and cents.
That milk must come from clean,
healthy cows and be MIXED by clean,
healthy persons into clean utensils

cording to the United States depart.

CREos0TE FOR FENCE POSTS
Best Preservatlve Treatment Consists
Of Boiling Wood In Liquid for
Short Period.

Five cents worth of creosote APP
piled to a fence post will prolong Its
life many years. Posts that will last
ordinarily but four or five years in the
ground can be made to last 20 by treat
ing.
Woods like beech. birch, maple, ash,
poplar and others that are not ordi-
narily used for fence posts, can be
made as durable as locust or cedar by
a preservative treatment with creosote.
This treatment does not consist simply
in painting the post with creosote or
In dipping 1t in creosote. While these
treatments do some good, they do not
insure deep penetration of'the creosote
into the wood or the filling of the
cracks and season checks.
The best preservative treatment con-
sists In heating the posts in boiling hot
creosote for 80 to 60 minutes, then
leaving them In the tank until the
liquid has cooled. The creosote will
be forced deeply into the wood and
thus All all checks and cracks and
form an exterior shell of treated wood
that will prevent rotting. An old. dis
carded gasoline drum with the top cut
out, set up so that fire may be built
beneath, makes an excellent treating
tank at little expense.

and the other where the milk is han
died. A plentiful and convenient sup
ply of water Is necessary feature,
and its purity is an obvious requisite.
To make sure that utensils are prop
erly washed, convenient arrangements
for heating water should be provided.
The sanitary dairyman rinses his uten-
sils in cold water Immediately after
using them, and then washes them in
hot water to which soda or some
washing powder has been added.
Brushes are, preferable to cloths for
washing as they are more easily kept
clean and do better work. Utensils
should then be sterilized by means Of
some form of steam steriliZer.
The milk should be weighed, strain
ed, and cooled In the milk house short
ly after II is brought from the stable.
Stralning is intended to remove the
dirt that may have fallen into II. and
Is best done with layer of sterilizei
absorbent cotton placed between two
cloths. or by using filter cloth or sim
liar material. Such cloths should be
washed just as the utensils are. boiled
five minutes, and then hung in a clean
place TO dry.
Cold Checks Bacteria.
Relatively high temperatures pro-
mote the multiplication of bacteria
Therefore, 1t Is essential that the milk
be cooled as soon as possible to sc
degrees F. or lower. Ordinary cool
ing can be done satisfactorily by plac-
ing the cans in tank, preferably OF
concrete. If the farmer has supply

HOW SCOUTING AIDS PARENTS,

Here are two sample remarks made
by Boy Scout and by his father, each
without the knowledge of the other,
after father and son hike. The
scout said: I
II never knew what darned good
fellow my father was till he came here
and camped with me. He always
seemed like stern man. whose big
idea was 10 punish me when | was not
good. and then I did not want to be
good. But now he has been here. and
we have been fishing together. and he
has shown me a lot of interesting
thihgs that | never knew before, and
that never would suppose he knew.
Now all Of sudden he seems like
chum Of mine. hope he'll keep right
on coming up"
Within an hour the father OF the
same boy had said: 'I've just realized
my boy for the first time. Say, he
isn't baby any more, and I've been
handling him like one. I'm going to
change my tactics and keep on know
ing him better"
On these hikes the boy entertains
his father at the camp and at the
other doings. He prepares the tent
for him. sharing his own, which 40
other may share but his father.

In the hills" On land where wheat
or even rye cannot be grown with profit
buckwheat Is often able to produce a
profitable yield. The climatic condl-
tons, however, must be favorable.
On acid soils, which are quite COM
mon in the northern states, buckwheat
does well. 1t does not require large
supplies Of lime in the soil, although
lime is taken up largely by the plant.
Good Summer Cover Crop.
Low-grade fertilizers may be used to
advantage In the growing of buck
wheat, as 1t can make use Of relatively
insoluble materials to better advan-
tage than the other grain crops. 1t
may be used to render available In
soluble phosphates, like rock phos-
plate, as these are taken up by the
plant in larger quantities than by
ether small grains. To obtain the
greatest benefit from such applications
to follow crops, the buckwheat should
be grown as summer cover crop to
be plowed under as green manure In
preparation for fall seeding
Buckwheat serves to make even very
hard land mellow and friable. Conse-
quently 1t Is good crop to use In
preparation for such crops as potatoes.
As II has a short growing period,
buckwheat can be grown on land where
spring-sown crops, such as corn, have
failed to make stand. 1t can also
be used where the land cannot be
worked until late. or where other
crops have been drowned out by late
spring floods.

Buckwheat can be used. to enlarge

there is often time to prepare land and
sow buckwheat. On account Of the
short growing season 1t may be sOwn
later than any other grain crop. Where
1t is so used II often, may be advisable
to sow 1t even on rich land which other
wise could be used more probably for
other crops.
Buckwheat is suitable crop for
