The farmer is the biggest fool
That ever went to vote.
He shouts for elephant or mule,
But always is the goat.
He butts in everything he sees,
Buys creameries, mines and stores,
Has elevators, mills, and these
He operates, Of course.
II we would tend to farming,
And make it a success,
Get prices that are reasonable,
We'd not be in distress.
II we'd tend to our own business.
Let other folks alone.
See that the world paid what We
asked
For produce that we. own,
We wouldn't need to worry
Bout creameries, mines and stores,
And we could raise our COWS and
piss,
tBe homo and do our chores.

AROUND
ORCHARD
PROTECT TREES FROM MICE
Wood Veneer, Wet, Can Be Wrapped
Around and Securely Fastened
With String.

Field mice often work damage In
Minnesota orchards and In plots de-
voted to valuable forage crops. For
years they have not been so destruc-
tive as they were last winter. In the
light Of this experience proper meas
ures should be taken this fall to pro-
tect trees and fields from injury.
I'm the case of young orchard
trees" says f. L. Washburn Of the di-
vision of economic zoology, Univer-
sity farm, protection Is found In the
shape Of wood veneer which can be
bought In box factories and other
sources Of supply. Each sheet Of
veneer Is about 20 by "a inches, and
when wet can be wrapped around a
tree and securely fastened with string
or wire. Care should be taken to in
sert the veneer two inches In the
ground. These protectors will last
two or three years, and will not only
hold the tree-girdling mice at bay but
the rabbits as well, unless drifting snow
makes 1t possible for the rabbits to
get above them.
Another method Of protection is by
the use Of wire mosquito netting. The
wire has an added virtue of extend
ing up the trunk Of the tree further
than the 20-inch wood protector"

CURIOUS EFFECTS OF LIGHT
More Sunlight on Southwest Side Of
Tree Causes Wood to Be Harder
and Limbs Shorter.

The fact that there IS more sun
light on the southwest side of a tree
causes the wood to be harder, the
limbs shorter, and less weight Of tree
on that side of the trunk than on the
opposite side.
The difference In weight between
the southwest and northeast sides Of
the tree causes the tree to lean to the
northeast, when the tree stands singly.
so as tosget the full amount of light
on all sides.
The same effect may be secured In
a greenhouse, or where the light and
temperature may be controlled. A po-
tato sprout In the cellar may be two
or three feet long from food taken
from the tuber, but 1t may contain no
more dry matter than a growth Of a
few inches from the same food mate
rails, when grown in the light.

TREATMENT OF CHERRY TREES
May Be Pruned Either In Fall or
Sprins-Nitrate OF Soda and Bone
for Fertilizer.

Cherry trees may be pruned quite
successfully either In the fall or
spring where frosts are not severe.
Perhaps the best time Is In the late
winter or early spring, just before
growth begins. A good fertilizer for
cherry trees, where barnyard manure
cannot be obtained, for an average
soil which needed fertilizer, would be
about 200 pounds nitrate of soda and
400 pounds ground bone; and when
muYiate of potash Is to be had about
500 pounds Of IL; or, IL wood ashes
are available, from so to 100 bushels
could be used.

Alaskan Glaciers.

Glaciers are numerous about Prince
william sound, in Alaska. In one arm
Of the sound there are IL within n
distance Of nine miles, says the Amer
lean Forestry Magazine. When the
Hartman expedition explored The
sound, the arm in which these gla-
ciers occur was called College Fiord,
and each glacier was given The name
Of some American institution Of learn
ing; the largest are known an Yale ard

PROTECTION FOR VENTILATOR
Empty Barrel Arranged to Keep Snow.
Rain and Icy Winds From En-
tering Opening.

In storage or drying houses, which
require great deal of ventilation. 1t
often happens that rain, snow and icy
winds blow through the ventilating
openings, doing more or less damage.
The drawing shows how, in one case,
an empty barrel was used to protect
such an open ventiator. A vane of
thin boards was attached to one side
of the barrel, and cOunter-poise was
fastened to the opposite side. Sew
eral slaves were cut out on each side
of the vane, making large openings
on that side of the barrel. and hole

There was table at her side with
books and magazines, window at

said, stretching out in the chair and
looking about her.

smoking and reading; typewriters
clicked out on the warm spring air

As she sat thus, looking Mt a scene

Almost unconsciously she looked

to place him, but only the indistinct

her and complete recognition.

Helen was tired out taking care of
her mother, who had been i'll for more
than a year. The other girls in the
family were fortunate enough to have
office positions which paid them suf-
hciently well to make 1t unwise for
them to give up work to help with the
nursing of their mother.
1T isn't that ! don't love mother
you know that-but sometimes it
seems as If / could not stand it anOth-
er minute. 1t seems us If, in her brOk-
en- mental state, mother treats those
OF us who care for her most with least
consideration" she confided to a
friend, Mary Lindsay, one afternoon
when she had been able to get down
to the village tearoom for an hours
change.
Mary took her young trends hand
across the table. Dear, no one knows
better than l do what you are going
through just now. My own dear moth
er was the same way for nearly four
years, and it was almost impossible to
live with her. But can't you get
away for week? You are thin and
tired and worn out yourself. 1t isn't
quite fair"
Helen shook her head. Mother
wouldn't let me come down here If
one Of the neighbOrs hadn't been in
and insisted"
Mary looked serious for a moment
Il will change places with you for a
day"
"Oh, mother wouldn't hear Of It,"
broke In Helen.
Leave that to me. I shall be
wonderful daughter to her for a day
and night, and you shall go to town
to my dear little studio and forget
that there is such thing as RESPONSE
bility."
In spite of Helen's protests and mis-
givings the arrangements were made,
and the following week she found her

| Rested. with something else to think
about and with an Uniformed hope
coming to life within her again, Helen
reached home that afternoon to find
that her mother was no worse and had
really enjoyed the gay companionship
Of Mary Lindsay.
I'll never be able to thank you
enough" Helen said after she had re-
ceived report of her mothers condi.
ton. 1T was too wonderful to be a
true place-it seemed liked a fairy
land" She did not say anything
about the man across the court.

brighter already. Wen try 1t again."
was Mary's parting assurance.
When she went back to nursing her
mother Helen seemed to find it less
irksome. The change had done both
her and her patient good.
1t was weeks before she saw Mary
again and when she did she met her at
the tearOom where they had met be-
fore.
~ want to talk to you alone" Mary
had said over the telephone. 1T isn't
so important, but Just want to have u
little fun with you and it might annoy
your mother, dear. Four o'clock"
Helen was waiting for Mary. "Of
curiosity" she began.
"And it Is a real tonic to you-you
look positively beaming."
They sat down and ordered tea while
Mary aggravatingly talked about all
the conventional things she could
think of.
MARY, you are mean," Helen said
at last.
Mary's eyes twinkled. did you
ever know a boy at the art school out
in Omaha boy who studied at the
same time you did under a Mr.. Wal
lace"
A light Of understanding shone forth
in Helen's eyes. Then she blCshed
rosy red and avoided looking at Mary.

the girls confusion and admiring her
beauty.
"Of course I did-and he Is the artist
who sits opposite your studio window
and-stares," admitted Helen.
'He doesn't stare at me-" Mary
laughed.
''Then-how do you know about 4"
"He found me out and told me all
about 1t. He saw You for day and
recognized you as the little Helen Le-
Cron whom he had admired ut the art
school. Your face went to his head;
he hasn't been able to think OF any
thing else since. He wrote me a note
and l asked him to come to see me.
Now-if that isn't romance with
capital r don't know anything about
it. / shall writee him into my next
novel;"
Helen's blush had become q perma-
nent warmth, and the sparkle in her
eyes was lovely to behold. Secretly
she had been longing to hear more Of
the man whose identity had evaded her
so persistently.
"And-and what nOwT she asked.
