OF the countless millions of butter
flies and moths. the most see light in
June and are dead before the end OF
August. Some are born to live hut
four weeks. \ struggling few last the
winter through. But on the cOnstruc-
ton of all these creatures of a month
or a year. the same infinite creative
pains have been lavished.
In the eye of butterfly are a thou
sand or more perfect lenses. On the
wings of a large butterfly a million
and a half feathery shingles OF micro
scopic proportions are laid in perfect
order. So small are they that they
look like dust when brushed or the
hand. The patterns of the wings are
due TO the arrangement of these
feathery scales. The colors are due in
part 10 pigments In the scales, and In
part TO the reflection of light from
delicate ridges and situations on each
microscopic scale.

were sack mead" and "metheglin."
Sack mead was made Of honey, hops

by compromising honey. hops and

KNIFE WEEDERs

- New Model 21'' Is Now Ready
@Twenty-one years, ago. Mr.. Clayton
lived on a farm and made his first
knife weeder. It had wooden run
ners' the knives were hard to adjust,
1t was heavy and pulled hard, but it
did good work. Every year thatfhe
stayed on the farm he made a new
model, aiming to decrease the draft,
increase the strength and decrease
the weight, and make all adjustments
simple and easy. Steel runners re-
placed the wooden runners, and from
year to year important improvements
were placed on the machine, mate
rally increasing its efficiency and
value. While on the farm, Mr.. Clay
ton worked up quite a business MAX
ing these machines and selling them
to his neighbors. After he left the
farm he still continued to make a
new model every year, until he has
now perfected his NEW Model 81"
for the coming season. This new
model is a mighty fine machine for
killing weeds and saving moisture in
any listed field, and it would hardly
seem possible that any further i'm
proVements could be made upon it.

ing distance of the factory, can easily
take his car to Hill City and haul one
home. They are so easily taken apart
that two of the double-row machines
are frequently hauled in a Ford car.
The One-row machine weighs 95
pounds, the two-rOw $50 pounds, and
the three-rOw $50 pounds. The one
row machine sells for $50, the two
row for $50, and the three-row for
$50. These prices are for machines
without eveners, and with 4-foot side
knives. Longer knives can be fur
nished as extras, and also eveners, if
desired. Most farmers have all the
eVeners that are necessary for these
machines. All of the older models
will be discontinued after this sea-
son. Two-row machines of last years
model may still be had, while they
last, at $500 to $1,000 less than the
above prices.

Wheat-Further rains where harvest is
under way and several reports of black
rust in North Dakota were responsible
for the strength in the early market for
wheat. AS for some time past, the
financial and industrial situation was
again displayed by the absence of any
broad investment demand In grains Very
naturally, the advancing tendency OF
prices was checked Ly this situation.

Several advices from the Southwest carry
