POPULAR GRAINS
FOR FARM FLOCK
Corn Heads Long List Because
of Abundance and Is Most
ReIished by Fowls.
WHEAT REGARDED AS SAFEST

Also Supplied.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
OF all grain feeds usually supplied
to farm poultry, corn has been, and
still is, the most popular. This prob
ably is due to its abundance and rel
alive cheapness, and because it is the
most relished of all the grains. Corn
is heating and fattening, and when
fed to fowls as the only feed, fat rath-
err than eggs is the usual result. 1t
should be balanced with meat, bone,
bran, and such feeds as are rich in
heterogeneous matter, In which corn is
deficient. When corn is fed to laying
hens that have opportunity to take
plenty of exercise and to obtain in
sects and green feed, more satisfac-
tory results are likely to be obtained.
1t may be fed more freely during the
winter than Surfing the summer, say
poultry specialists of United States
Department of Agriculture.
Wheat Is Safest.
Wheat is generally regarded as the
safest grain to be fed alone. 1t is
not quite so fattening as corn, but Is
too fattening when fed alone. Wheat
should be supplemented by the same
feeds as advised to use with corn to
increase the proportion of protein.
Wheat contains little more protein
than corn, about the same amount Of
carbohydrates, but less fat, and on
the whole is considered not so valu-
able for fattening, but slightly better
for growth. Good grades Of wheat
are relatively too high in price to
be used freely in feeds at the pres
ent time. Wheat screenings of
good grade can frequently be pur-
chased and fed to advantage. OF
course, there is always the danger Of
introducing weed seeds on the farm,
Burnt wheat" seldom can be fed adj
vantageously, the difference in price
between this and good wheat being
usually too slight to warrant its use.
Oats Needed for Variety.
Oats, while not as good as corn or
wheat, are necessary for variety.
They contain more indigestible fiber
than the other grains. Hulled oats
are relished by poultry and are excel

extended into the coat and Is managed
so as to result in flare at the sides.
Flat silk braid and small bone but
tons distinguish themselves anew on
the model, as finish they emphasize
it's faultless tailoring.
The box coat, sometimes straight
and sometimes fiaring, appears to in
wife decoration and is a great favorite
for summertime. Many models in the
display are embroidered in self color,
and are very rich looking and dressy,
especially in light colors, as beige or
gray. Applique trimmings in mate
rails and colors that differ from the
suit have proved very effective in box
coats and are combined with stitchery
in silk floss. The suit at the right of
the two pictured is an example of this
particular development, and shows
dark blue tricotine with applique in
q heavy silk crepe and stitchery of
beige-colored floss.

CULTIVATE POTATOES OFTEN
Hoeing Should Be Done Once a Week
for Six Weeks After Plants
Appear-kilI Bugs.

Potatoes must be hoed or cultivated
at least once week for about six
weeks after the plants appear. While
cultivating, the soil should be drawn
about the plants, forming hills to pro
tect the potatoes from the sun.
Potato bugs. old-fashioned "hard
shells" and their children, the soft
shells or slugs, are sure to eat the
foliage of potatoes unless prevented
from doing So The "hard shell" bugs
that are first to appear can often be
picked off by hand and killed, but
about the only way to control the
young soft bugs or slugs is to poison
them. This can be done by spraying
or sprinkling the potato leaves with
a mixture consisting Of one ounce of
arsenate of lead in one gallon of wa
ter or the plants may be busted with
powdered lime to which paris green
has been added at the rate Of one
ounce to four quarts of lime, say spe-
cialists of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture. The dust should
be sifted over the plants during the
early morning while the dew is upon
the leaves. 1t will not be necessary
to dust or spray all the plants, but
only those where the bugs have start
ed, then go over the potatoes every
few days to see that the bugs have
not gotten a fresh start.

Plaid and cross-bar taffeta silks are

SWEET CLOVER BUILDS SOIL
BY Vigorous Growth and Decay Of
Large Roots 1t Restores Humus
In Large Quantities.

AS a soil builder sweet clover Is in
a class by istelf. By its vigorous
growth and the decay of it large roots
it restores humus to the soil in large
quantities. If it is allowed to remain
and decay where it has grown, large
quantities of plant food are made
available. Moreover, 1t is a legume
and can, therefore, take its nitrogen
from the air, thus adding an element
to the soil that is very beneficial. Its
long fleshy roots penetrate the sub
soil and bring food to the surface for
other plants to use, and, at the same
time, improve the soil texture.

parison with other grains they may be
fed quite freely.
Barley does not seem to be relished
by hens, but may be used to give va
riety to the grain ration. 1t has lit
tie more protein than corn and little
less than oats.
Buckwheat is quite liked by fowls,
but is not widely fed. 1t may be used
to vary the ration. but is usually too
high in price to be economical. Buck

CHAPTER V.
Doctor John Hse a Visitor.


 After remaining hidden in the for pst for some time, Tonnibel stole along toward Ithaca in the gathering gloom. her heart filed with hope To get some medicine for Edith. and to take hack the picture to the father who had offered money for it. were the two things she wanted to do now. Her young mind was busy with plans for her mother. If she could find some work to do. and Edith would go with her. she would get well again.
 That evening, just after dinner, pr. John Pcndchoven was sitting in his office, his mind disturbed his heart aching for the sick brother upstairs, and he remembered that the first three or four years after the disappearance of PauTs daughter had been spent in a frantic search. All those working on the case had finally decided that Edith MindU, a young nurse who had cared for the child most of the time since her mother had died and was de voted to her, had left home with the baby.
 He sat up suddenly, for distinctly there came to him from the wide front porch the batter of feet like the soft fOo'pahS of some stealthy night-anl- mal. He turned his eyes on the open door that led to the pOrCh-and then be rose. There before him stood a girl, a silent girl looking at him beseecn' ingIy-a curious demanding eXpres- sion In her eyes, and she was bare footed, too. He didn't speak, nor did he move forward She was not pa tlent, that he knew, for only the rich came to him for treatment.
 Suddenly sle snIled and took two steps toward him. Good evening, he managed to say.
 Paul Pendlehaven?" came In a breath, and Doctor John shook his head.
 "Oh! I hoped you were!" was the swift reply. T want to see the doc tor"
 The voice was filled with touching pathos, and the young face had grown suddenly grave.
 I'm one Doctor Pendlehaven," he said. Wont you sit dOwn?"
 Tonnlbel shook her head. She couldn't sit down In all this royal Splendor, she who had been used to canal boats and rough benches to sit on.
 I'm kinda mussed up," she said in excuse. i've come to make Q dlcker with-with Dr. Paul Pendlehaven."

 "Yep, q hull lot," she responded, Ia great lot. My mothers awful sick. But l cant tell how she got that way, so don't ask me. But-but 1 thought mebbe if I brought Doctor Paul's baby back" She paused drew out of her

 The thought of her father coming home drunk flashed across the girls mind. "I don't want you to stay If she's all right" she said with q back ward bend of her head. You salu she'd get well, didn't you" At the doctors affirmative nod she went on: ''Then I'll take you back up the hill' so you'll be safe"
 "No," said Pendlehaven, firmly. "No, I won't let you. can find my way all right, but can't leave you like this"
 Tonnibel extended her hand. "l said I was going with you" she answered crisply. Come on, it'll be all hours before you get home now. l ain't say in' would love to have you in the Dirty Mary with mummy and me, but you might get killed if you stay"

How Burmese Women Smoke.

Merchants smoke their pipes from dawn until dark, in Korea, writes a correspondent. The. squat down when they smoke, and as the stems of the pipes are feet lcng, the bowl can rest on the ground. In Bethle- hem the hookah is very popular among the women and it accompanies the morning and afternoon cotfee-drinking hour. Several tubes extend from the water bowl through which the smoke passes in a cooling process, and the women gather about the hOokah, each selecting a tube, and all drawing smoke from the common bowl. The Burmese maidens smoke a cigar lO inches long and as fat as good-stzed candle and with a white paper GOV ering. The longest pipes known are those used by natives of the Belgian Congo. These pipes have stems 10 or P feet long, with small bowls. II matches were used to light them a friend would be needed to apply the flame, but the native gets his light by merely thrusting the bowl into ms camp fire.
