board can't keep this up, and the
committee must look elsewhere for
funds for this purpose. I have
repeatedly admitted that they
were handicapped, and 1t Is
with regret that We mention this,
but I know Of . way that will
eliminate all future trouble in this
line. The general assembly OF the
state of Illinois convenes in jan
uary, 1921. Our newly elected
representatives, Frank Abbey, Har-
ry McCaskrin, W. C. Maucker, and
State Senator Martin Carlson of
Moline, are in duty bound to sup
port q 1-mill tax for playground
purposes in cities Of $4,000 or over.
Have some attorney draw the bill
and mail to said representatives
and, in my judgment, with little
lobbying on the part Of the ladies.
they will have no trouble in getting
it passed and enacted into law.
This, with our present population
of over $4,000, would net the cocl-
mittee between $1,000 and $4,000.
A mere bagatelle!

FAMOUS OLD BOSTON ABODE
Province House, Once One of the Most
Famous Colonial Mansions, Has
Been Partially Preserved.

There stands today on BOsworth
court in Boston but a portion of the
old Province house, a most interesting
relic of Colonial days; and the rest
of the court is lined with modern Of
fee buildings. But in 1920 it was con-
sidered very genteel part Of town.
Oliver Wendell Holmes lived in the
old Province house for IS years.
At the farther end of the court
stands an irOn-wrought archway, dec
Orative of design, which was used in
the early part of the nineteenth Gen.
fury as an entrance to the governor s
garden, a part of the Province house
grounds. This has been carefully pre-
served, as have the stone steps which
lead to the lower level. The Province
house was immortalized by Hawthorne
in his "TWiCeTOld Tales"
The historic staircase now is gone
and only portion of the exterior OF
the house is left. 1t was built in 1861
by Peter Sargent, a wealthy London
merchant and was considered one OF
the handsomest residences in town
During the days of its popularity the
governor gave many balls there.

MOLD IN SlLO PREVENTABLE
Use of Plenty Of Water at Filling
Time Will Overcome Difficulty
Pack Thoroughly.

The use of plenty of water at silo
filing time is one of the surest ways
Of avoiding difficulty from molds If
the corn has been frosted or has be-
come overripe. If one has the facili-
ties for running a steady stream Of
water into the blower and at the
same time is careful to see that the
tramping is thoroughly done the loss
from molds can be made almost negli-
gible. AS matter Of fact, it is pos
sible to entirely prevent the growth
of molds If the corn is cut at the
proper time and thoroughly histrib-
uted and tramped in an alr-tight silo.
What air remains after this is done
is used up in the fermentation proc
esses which begin as soon as the corn
is ensiled-the oxygen being converted
into carbonic acid gas and silage acids.

POULTRY
FLOCKS
FOOD PRODUCTS FROM FOWLS
On Average Farm Poultry Furnish
About 10 Per Cent of Meat
for Family Use.

A large proportion of the poultry
products of this country are produced
on general farms. Nearly every farm
has its poultry flock. The average
American farmer reserves about three
dozen eggs week for family use and
about so fowls are consumed by the
family during the year. These food
products can be secured absolutely
fresh, which considerably enhances
the value of this contribution from the
farm, says the United States depart
ment of agriculture. OF the meat fur
nished by the farm to the operator and
his family, poultry constitutes about
10 per cent.
A small flock of poultry can be kept
on the farm at little cost. The fowls
find scattered grain about the farm
stead and on the adjoining grain fields
after harvest. Garden refuse and
kitchen waste are usually available
for them. They also feed on insects
and worms. In many cases the farm.
er's wife and children find pleasure in
caring for the flock.

BEST AND EARLIEST
EARS FOR SEED CORN
Quite Practicable to Allow 1t to
Ripen on Plant.
Examine Grain Carefully Removing
Any Worms Found and Then Fold
Back in Place and Tie With
Elastic Band or Strinu.

The best way to secure homegrown
sweet corn seed, according to United
States department of agriculture spe-
cialists, is to allow it to ripen on the
plant, and, since a single ear will be
seed enough for a small garden, it is
quite practicable to do this. Select the
best and earliest ears by stripping
down the husks to examine the grain
and to remove any worms that may be
found, and then carefully fold them
back and hold them in place by an
elastic band or string. Allow these
ears to ripen thoroughly on the stalk.
In the North it is often better to pull
and hang the plant where there will
be no danger from moisture frost, or
even chilling until the seed is thor
Oughly dry. All the ripe ears remain
ing at the end of the season in any
crop of sweet corn should be harvested

Surgeon Knew Just Exactly How
Much laxative ConVaIescina Pa
tient Would Suffer.

She is a talkative young school
teacher and he a surgeon, who is not
much given to speech. Recently when
he operated on her.. her chatterirg
preceding the operation almost drove
him mad, After the operation, though,
he forgot all about that and did all he
could to alleviate her suffering.
The fourth day he dressed her
wounds and made her comfortable IN
every way he could. Then she began
to chatter and asked him question aft
er question, the last one being, DOC
tor, how am l really nOwY
He remembered his experience with
her talkative little tongue before the
operation. "Oh, you're getting along
splendidly," he retorted. "In fact all
the suffering you will now have to en-
dure is just to keep quiet"

PROPER TRAINING FOR STOCK
Finest Colt in World Is of Little Use

GUARD TWlNE FROM INSECTS
Solution Of Kerosene and Crude Greco
sote Is Recommended by an
Illinois Entomoloest.

II the Irvine one buys is not al
ready protected from crlCkets and
grasshoppers the following formula
given by w. T. Flint, entomologist Of
Illinois, can be used very satisfactori-
ly. He recommends a solution of two
gallons kerosene, and one gallon crude
creOsote. Mix these together and i'm
merse the Irvine for period of about
one hour or until it is saturated, then
lay out in the sun and dry thoroughly
before using. The Missouri Agricul-
tural college recommends a solution
Of one gallon Of lime sulphur and ten
gallons of water. Soak for a similar
period and dry thoroughly before
using.

of sugar for every man, woman and
child within the United States, and
the increase over last year equals more
than six pounds per person.
Big Beet Acreage
The Sugar-beet crop this year covers
almost a million acres as against the
five-year average of about twO-thirds
of a million; and the growing Condi-
ton on July ! was above the ten-year
average. There is more than half
million acres of sugar cane this year,
about half of which is intended for
sugar and the other half for sirup,
after deducting considerable amounts
for planting the next crop. There is
a substantial increase in acreage over
last year, especially in Louisiana,
where nearly all the cane sugar of the
United States is made. The growing
condition of the cane in Louisiana is
much better than last year, but CON
siderably under the average for the
past nine years.
Protection for Crop.
The department of agriculture,
which has carried on a number Of
projects looking toward making this
country self-sustaning from a sugar
standpoint, is cooperating with other
agencies in protecting the crops
from insects and disease and 9th
erwse promoting the production
and utilization Of a bumper sugar
crop. 1t should be borne in mind,
however, that the forecast for 1920 is
based upon conditions on July l. and
below this forecast according as con-
ditiOns between July / and harvest are
better or worse than average.

STEW OR SELL ALL BOOSTERS
Male Bird Does Not Aid in Produc-
ton of Eggs and Should Be Dis
posed Of in Summer.

Farmers lose many millions of dol
lars annually from bad methods of
producing and handling eggs. Much
Of this loss is preventable because it
is due to the partial Matching of fer
tile eggs, which have been allowed
to become warm enough to begin to
incubate.
You can help save the loss due to
blood rings by keeping the male bird
from your flock after the Matching
season is over.
The rooster does not help the hens
to lay. He merely fertilzes the germ
Of the egg. The fertile germ in hot
weather quickly becomes blood ring,
which spoils the egg for food and
market. Summer heat has the same

Sudan Grass for Pasture.

Sudan grass furnishes good
pasture for horses, cattle, sheep
or hogs. 1t is best not to pas
ture a young seeding until it is
about foot high. BY this time
it will have become firmly rooted
and under average conditions
will not be injured much from
tramping and pulling by animals.
A hay crop can be cut about the
last of July and an abundance
of succulent pasture secured
throughout August when other
pastures are burned up, or it
can be pastured the early part
of the summer and a hay crop
secured afterward. The crop
also may be cut and fed green
with good results.

Sweet corn spoils much more quick

To keep the flock in a clean and
