tells how TO select a beef calf and
raise 1t either for market or for use
as a breeding animal.
The bulletin Is response to an I'M
usual demand by members Of boys and
girls clubs for specific information on
the principles and practices of raising
well-bred calves, preparing them for
show or sale, and disposing of them
to advantage. Desirable and undesir-
able types of calves are discussed and
illustrated.
There are chapters on equipment
needed, keeping the calf healthy, feed
ing, and the importance of changing
the ration as the animal develops, also
methods of preventing parasites and
disease. The bulletin describes clear
ly how to clip, curl, or otherwise pre-
pare the coat Of the various breeds of
cattle preparatory to showing them,
with additional directions regarding
shipping and exhibiting. Persons de-
string such information should write
to the United States Department of
Agriculture. Washington, d. c., for

ALL THE TIME HE WANTED
Excellent Reason Why Traveller Need
Not Worry Over Possibility of
Missing His Train.

A Cleveland man with business in
terests in Illinois tells'o an incident
at railway junction in that state. He
was hungry and 1t was only two min
utes before the departure of his train.
He rushed up TO the countermsn and
exclaimed: "Give me sandwich and
a cup of coffee, quick Haven't time
for anything else"
my friend" said the man behind
the counter, take all the time you
want Just cast your eye over this
menu and I'll telephone the superin-
tendent to hold the train while"
"Do you mean to say that he will
actually hold the train while / eat?'
"Surc, friend. This Is branch
road, and there's no other train com
ing or going over II this morning. The
superintendent will want you to have
a good meal-he owns this lunch

PLOW LEVEL SOILS IN FALL
Stubborn Sods Arc More Surely Exter-
minated and Moisture Supply Is
Greatly Increased.

II all ground was level we might
make the assertion that all soils are
benefited by fall plowing as there is
much to be gained through this prac-
tice. Level soils that do not wash are
benefited since stubborn sods are
more easily exterminated and the
moisture supply for the crop the fol
lowing spring is greatly increased; ;
however, hilly land or that inclined
to wash is damaged by being fall
plowed. The available plant foods are
washed out, gullies are made in the
hillside and the fields are subject tc
weathering during the winter. The
fertility of sandy soils or soils that
are rolling is best conserved by plow-
ing only In the spring and then as late
as possible in order to get the crop
out on time.

FLEA EMBALMED IN HONEY
Little Insect Pest Found Which Me,
Its Fate In Egypt Many Thou
sands Of Years Ago.

1t is believed that the earliest food
store laid aside for his wants by man.
and which Is still In existence, Is jar
of honey found in an Egyptian tomb,
and probably placed there for the sus-
tenance of the dead during the jour.
ney across the Stygian river, says the
American Forestry Magazine. When
found, the honey had changed into q
very dry candy and 1t had lost its
sweetness, though It could still be
identified as honey
In the bottom of the jar. well GOV.
cred with honey, was a dead flea Of
precisely the same sort as those which
plague Egypt to this day. Apparently,
the insect had hoped into the jar
while the last rites over the dead were
being observed, and when the jar was
corked, the little fellow was shut up
within, and, like the true patriot, he
probably would have declared that
death was sweet. Anyway. he sank
to the bottom while the honey war
still soft, and there the archeologists
found him after good many thou.

APPLICATION OF PHOSPHATE
On Poorly Managed Farms Mixed
Fertilizer Can Undoubtedly Be
Used With Profit

knowing that corn receives much
manure and usually follows clover on
well-managed farms, a logical invest
ment," says Prof. Firman f. Bear of
the soils department of the Ohio State
university, ''is in larger application
of phosphate" On farms that have
been poorly managed. mixed fertil-
izer can undoubtedly be used with
proht. He says that until such a time
as the price of potash is materially
reduced, it would appear that 1t is
wise for .he farmer to invest literally
in limestone. phosphate and clover

SUGAR BEET CROP IS LARGE
Bureau Of Crop Estimates Puts Total
at Nearly Nine Million Tons
Hits Sugar Prices.

According to the bureau Of crop es-
Inmates the United States will harvest
this year nearly 100000 tons of beets
or 2,0O0,000 tons more than the nor
NAL crop. Normally in the United
States we produce about II pounds of
beet sugar per capita, whereas this
year we shall produce about 81 or %
pounds Of beet sugar per capita. This
extra four or five pounds Of beet
sugar will doubtless have something
to do with reducing sugar prices to
a more reasonable basis during the
next year.

What God REQUIRES.

What God requires is an undivided

he rejects, and both unreservedly.
Where such a mind is, everything turns

come good works. Happy indeed is
such a one.-Fenelon.

FRESH AIR QUITE IMPORTANT
Chicken House Should Be Provided
With Good ventilatina System
Without Drafts.

Chickens seem to require more fresh
air than do cattle or swine. An au-
thority even says the amount OF air
breathed by hen is three times great
er than that required by cows or pigs.
Give the poultry house plenty of ven
tilation without drafts; plenty of oxy-
gen without cracks for the wind to
enter.

Classification Of Accounts.

While an inventory is generally the
hrst thing banker asks for when
making loan he also wants to know
the sources of income. BY going just
q little further the farmer can keep
records that will enable him to know
his profits and losses. This requires a
classification of accounts in which GER
tain principles should be followed. The
precise classification to be used is de-
termined by the prevailing conditions
on the farm in question.
