KIN AUCUS the Athenian,

~ a loud and clear voice =

.
the lions await thee
"T am ready said the Athenian. He
had bent his limbs so as to give him
self the firmest posture at the expect
ed rush Of the lion, with his small and
shining weapons raised on high, in the
faint hope that one well-directed
thrust might penetrate through the eye
to the brain Of his grim foe.
"But to the unutterable astonish-
ment Of all. the beast seemed not even
aware Of the presence Of the GRIM
inal. At the first moment Of its re-
lease it halted abruptly in the arena,
raised itself half on end, snuffing the
upward air with impatient signs; then
suddenly it sprang forward, but not
on the Athenian. At half-speed it
circled round and round the space,
turning its vast head from side to side
with an anxious and perturbed gaze,
as If seeking only some avenue of es-
cape; once or twice it endeavored to
leap up the parapet that divided it
from the audience, and, on failing, ut
tered rather baff1ed howl than its
deep-toned and kingly roar. It evinced
no sign either OF wrath or hunger; its
tail dropped along the sand, instead Of
lashing its gaunt sides; and its eye,
though it wandered at times to Glau-
Gus, rolled again Iistlessly from him.
At length, as If tired of attempting to
escape, it crept with moan into its
cage. and once more laid itself down
to rest
"The first surprise of the assembly
at the apathy of the lion soon grew
into resentment at its cOwardice; and
the populace already merged their
pity for the fate Of Glaucus into angry
compassion for their own disappoint-
ment. The manager called to the
keeper:
allow is this? Take a goad, and
prick him forth, and then close the
door of the den.'
"As the keeper, with some fear,
but more establishment, was preparing
to obey, loud cry was heard at one
Of the entrances Of the arena; there
was q confusion, a hustle, voices of
remonstrance suddenly breaking forth,
and sudden silence at the reply. All
eyes turned in wonder toward the
quarter of the disturbance; the crowd

BEST PRACTICE IN FLOWING
According to Minnesota Expert II Is
Best to Deepen burrows Gradu-
ally Each Year.

The nature of the soil and the crop
to be grown should determine the ques-
ton of whether to plow' deeply or
more shallow. AS with most other farm
problems, the farm operators judg-
ment and experience must be called
into play in determining which prac-
tice is best on any farm.
Andrew Boss, vice director Of the
Minnesota experiment station, believes
that deep burrows turned on edge, or
"three-quarters over" furnish the best
conditions for pulveriZing and sweeten-
ing the soil. 1T is not good practice"
he says, "to deepen the blowing great
ly in any one year. 1t is better to deep
en- it by one-half inch or an inch each
year until a sufficient depth has been
reached. Rarely is it necessary to pillow
deeper than seven or eight inches, eX-
cept.for certain deep-rooted crops like
sugar beets, carrots, potatoes and like
crops.
"Where it is desirable to incorporate
in the soil water-holding material, such
as a green manure crop or a dressing
of coarse barnyard manure, deep plow
ing is wise Either a very sandy or q
very heavy dense clay would be bene-
flied by such treatment periodically"

SEEMED TO BE LEFT OUT
Tell Just Where the FIoWery
Kingdom Was.

The system under which the old
diplomacy functioned in China was to
grant concessions to foreign nationals
for railways having industrial or polit-
ical advantages. Often concessions
were obtained merely for future trad
ing purposes or to block the game of
some other national. About 1912, VIII.
liam F. Carey of the Siems-Carey Rail-
way and Canal company went to
Picking, and in a short time obtained
five concessions.
Each one of these was development
project. 1t was Mr.. Carey's debut as
concessionaire, Silas Bent writes in
Asia Magazine for November. And it Is
related that in making himself &C
quainted with the mysteries of the sit
uation he visited the charge at the
Russian legation. AS the two stood
looking at map the Russian inter-
prated China's geography. He ex-
planned that the Yangtze valley was
English (meaning that it was British
sphere of inf1uence), that Yunnan was
French, that Kukien and Manchuria
were japanese, and that Mongolia was
Russian.
Mr.. Carey stood silent a few mo-
ments, intently inspecting the map, and
then looked up.
"But where Is China?" he asked.

Thousands Have Kidney
Trouble and Never
Suspect It
Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected.

Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root is
soon realized. 1t stands the highest for

An examining physician for one of the
prominent Life Insurance Companies, in
an interview on the subject, made the as
tonishing statement that one reason why
SO many applicants for insurance are re-
jected is because kidney trouble is So
common to the American people, and the
large majority of those whose applica-
lions are declined do not even suspect
that they have the disease. 1t is on sale
at all drug stores in bottles of two sizes,
medium and large.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to DR..

Protecting His Guard.

A huge, bury soldier was arrested
for drunkenness and confined to the
guardhouse. His constant attendant
for the next few days was 4 little,
timid guard, who battered around
after him like a child. One morning
they were late to mess, whereat the
cook assailed the guard.
Cant you come on time! This
amt no hoteI!'' he shouted. The
guard shrank away, and the cook,
emboldened, struck him. Instantly
the big prisoner interviewed with a
well-aimed blow at the cook.

QUARTERS FOR YOUNG STOCK
Preferable to Have Calves Separated
From Main Part of Cow Barn h..
Mothers Not Disturbed.

Some dairymen fail to consider hous-
ing the young stock when they build
their barns. It is preferable to have
the young stock separated from the
main part of the COW barn because of
odors and because calves near their
mothers will cause the COWS to become
restless. The quarters for the calves
should be connected with the dairy
barn, and location on the south or
east side of the barn is desirable.

Wherever there are green fields,
there are grasshoppers and other in
sects. G. r. Greaves Of the agricul-
tural college, who has conducted the
experiments, says:
st seems the memorable law of ma
t1re that wherever there is something
good to eat there is something to eat
it, and mans existence is a continual
struggle for supremacy over the crea-
lures that are determined to consume
the food he requires"
During past years in North Dakota,
prairie chickens, sage hens and grouse
held the grasshoppers in check, and
their plumpness and the delicious
quality of their meat attested to the
superiority Of their food.
Now the prairie chickens especially
are going the way Of the buffalo, and
Mr.. Greaves was assigned to find
substitute that would keep down the
insect pests with a. minimum of trou
Bile and expense to the farmer. The
answer is turkeys and guineas.
Mr.. Greaves declares that flocks of
turkeys and guineas consume millions
of grasshoppers and other insect pests,
and naturally do their own foraging.
Early in the season the experimental
f1ocks at the agricultural college have
grown fat and strong on the young
insects. - -
Later in the season they have re
ceived the abundant exercise necessary
for their proper market conditioning
by chasing the elusive hoppers, have
saved the field corps and provided 4
new, big source of income.
"Three old turkeys kept through one
winter" said Mr.. Greaves produced
a flock of young turkeys the following
season which kept the fields near their
house clear of grasshoppers, and full
filled their destiny by gracing Thanks

heat generated by the bees. A grove

packing usually done should complete

bottom, but the bees entrance should

.FALLACIOUS IDEA OF SHEEP
and Shrubs Than Other Animals,
but Need Some Feed.

Many farmers who have failed with
sheep have gone into the business with
the fallacious idea that sheep will eat
anything, simply because some misin-
formed person started the tale. Sheep
will consume more weeds and shrubs
than any other class of animals, but to
turn them into the woodlot and expect
them 80 thrive on sprouts and dry
leaves is asking too much of their di-
gestive systems. However, there is
usually waste land on most farms on
which the sheep may be kept at certain
periods of the year very profitably.
