CONDIMENTS ARE INJURIOUS

Temporary and Undermine
Health of Fowls.

The use of condiments and tonics
is to be deprecated rather than en-
couraged, though there are times with
ailing fowls when tonic will tone
up the system. Condiments undoubt'
eddy stimulate the reproducing or.
gans, but it is. a temporary effect and
the reaction which sets in not only is
negative but tends to undermine the
physical health Of the bird. 1t is well
to remember that in the egg-laying
contests tonics and condiments have
no place in the feeding rations, and
that for the most part high records
are attained without their use. So.
called stimulants find their widest use
by the novice In poultry farming; the
experienced breeder generally lets
them alone.

BEAUTY MARSHALED FOR CAR
Russian Monarch Selected Bride From
the Prettiest Maidens of Land
Over Which He Ruled.

In Russia, in the Sixteenth century,
the choice of a bride for the car was
made from all the pretty girls of the
country. Ivan, who ruled 1530-15S4,
being ready for a wife, ordered all the
beautiful girls In the country to come
to Moscow. Preliminary contests were
held in each province, and candidates
selected. In the majority of cases the
contestants were delighted with the
chance to go to Moscow, and still more
delighted with hope of becoming
ruler of Russia. An immense hall was
built and, on the day of the choosing,
1900 Of the most beautiful girls in
Russia were ready to contest for
Ivan's favor.
Accompanied by an aged courtier,
the czar strolled through the hall, all
the girls smiling shyly or openly at his

A list of growers of pure, sorghum
seed has been issued this year by the
Kansas State Agricultural Experiment
station at Manhattan, suppIementing
similar lists which have been published
in the past on wheat, corn and other
principal cereal crops. The list is
made from field inspection and enables
farmers to tell the exact grade of
sorghum or percentage of mixture with
other varieties which is to be obtained
from any grower. This service has
been of great advantage to the farmers
of the state.

JOKE ON AMATEUR FARMER
About the Enormous Profits"
Made by Agriculturists.

A federal official at Washington has
discovered that he has still something
to learn touching agriculture.
Now, he purchased farm as sum-
mer home for his family, and finds
special delight in walking about the
place, commenting on the condition OF
the crops and in many ways showing
his interest in his possessions.
One evening during the summer he
was strolling over the farm. The hired
man had cut the grass during the day
"a very thin crop-and left it on the
ground to dry. The official saw it and,
calling his man, said:
"It appears to me that you are very
careless. Why haven't you been more
particular in raking up this hay?
Don't you see that you have left drlb-
blings all around?"
For moment the hired man stared,
wondering whether his boss was quiz
zing him. Then he replied:
"Dribblings? Why, sir, that's the
