HAVE KEEN SENSE OF HOME
Abundant Proof That Birds Return
Year After Year to Scenes Of
Familiarity.

Bird lovers have believed for CEN
turtles that migratory birds return TO
the same home, year after year. Mod
ern science has proved this belief TO
be right. Birds are caught in traps
that do not hurt them, marked with
tiny Iegbands of aluminium, each bear
ing a number. and released. Next
year. the same birdssare caught again
In the same locality. often when oc-
cupying the same nest
Evidently, a birds memory for di'
rection and location must be quite as
marvellous as the older writers be-
lieved. The catbird winters as far
south as Panama, yet catbirds marked
In northern Ohio came back to the
same neighborhood, year after year
Sometimes they move a few rods or
furlongs, but the frequency with
which they return to the very spot
is astounding.
Cats find their way back to the old
home across township. horses across
a county or two, and dogs have been
known to pass through several states
In returning to a beloved master, but
birds find their way across a cont
nent. and sometimes over a sea n
well.

SURVIVED STORM AT SAMOA
Major General Lsieane One of the
American Sailors Who Came
Safely Through Hurricane.

Secretary Edwin DENLY of the navy
is fan on the history OF that branch
of the service and never misses an
opportunity to expatiate on its glories.
He was speaking al a Navy league
dinner not long ago and .vividly de-
scribed the events as they occurred
when in 1899, hurricane caught
three of our ships. three German ships
and one flying the British flag in the
harbor at Apia, Samoa and sank them
all except the Britisher. which man
aged TO get to sea.
He told how the American ships
were battered to pieces on the rocks,
bow the Vandalia sank and her
crew rode out the storm in the rig
ging which still protruded from the
water.
Three seats down the table from
Mr.. DENLY SAT- Major General John
A. Lejcune, commandment of marines.
The secretary of the navy did not
know at the time that Gen. Lejeune,
then a naval cadet. was one Of the
lads who hung on to the rigging OF
the vandalia through the duration OF
the storm.

HOW TO RETAIN YOUTH LONG
Learn to Employ the Passing Years
With Constantly Increasing Wis
dom and Discretion.

Youth is quality, spiritual energy.
and, properly speaking. there is no
-old age" but spiritual decay. The
foot less prompt to meet the morning
dew" Is no valid evidence of growing
old. any more than TO lose a leg in
battle. Fussy physical activities are
not the only tests OF youth. writes
Richard lie Caffeine in Harper's Mag
azine. That brain OF SophOcles which
gave US the greatest play at 80. is more
20 the point. as also that famous
saying recorded OF him. in reference
Ia the cooling of the passions with the
years. that TO grow old was like being
set free from service TO a band of
madmen.
Because we grow wiser and stronger.
less selfish and generally more useful
10 our fellows with the passage OF the
years is not TO say that we have lost
our youth. Ii only means that We
have learned how TO employ il. We
do not run in every direction as we
did. We know a little better what we
are doing. or what we want to do; but
the motive force that enables US to do
IL is that same energy which once drove
us TO make fools % ourselves at the
beginning. and still provides the same
swift means 70 radiant ends"
Decay, disillusicn, WEAKNESS; we
mean these things when we speak of
growing old" but we fail to realize that
these are no necessary accOmpani-
ments of the years. We may. unfOr-
tunately. inherit them, or acquire them.
like bad habits. or through neglect of
a proper care and exercise of our spir-
itual selves. Spiritual and intellectual
lazinesS makes most people "nld before
their time" If we lose interest in life,
life will soon lose interest in US; and
it is just as possible to achieve preco-
cious senility in the twenties as al
any later period of our lives.

That Age 10 Not at Ali
Matter of Years

Perhaps women who are not at all
sensitive about their age are still in
a minority. But their number is grow
ing. In almost any gathering where
women chatter pleasantly and with
some intimacy abou things which in
terest them you ind at least one
woman who cheerfully admits that
she is not thirty-fve. but forty-tiVe,
or that il is a very long time since
she was thirty.
One OF the tragic conventions which
have helped 10 wreck women's lives
is this stupid tradition that at any
given age a woman gets old Years
ago most women celebrated their
thirtfeth birthdays with a sense of de-
preston. With greater common
sense. women al least began to see
that even after thirty they might en-
joy life, and that the games and
amusemenls and joys which are pos
sible at twenty are no less possible
at forty.
Today there fingers this ancient su-
perstition that IL you have reached a
certain age you must not admit the
fact. But 1t will not endure long
Now that we hear of woman OF
ninety playing really capable golf. OF
women past fifty banding themselves
together in CHEEKY fashion as goIting
veterans. of women OF every and any
age enjoying life, ii will become un

GOOD TIME TO
RTTY GOOD SHEEP

We have a letter from g. NJ. Bourne,
of Barron county, in which he states
that he is as much interested in sheep
as he ever was although the prices
are away down from what they were,
but no worse than other business.
He has his Bibby ram that he got from
George McKerrOw and has some fine
sons and daughters from him. 1t pays
well to keep full blood rams as sheep
60 up or down in quality very quickly.
He has taken western ewes, and used
full blood Shropshire ram and in one
generation the offspring looked very
different. In year or so sheep Will
be scarce, as everybody is discouraged.
and right now Is the time to keep good
sheep and get more. He has 6S sheep
and each has name and comes when
their name Is called.
He is selling his rams at 500 each
and paid 500 for his old Bibby ram.
He got first prize at the Barron coun-
ty fair on lambs and aged ram.
Mr.. Bourne is one Of the best sheep
breeders in northern Wisconsin and
we are pleased to get the above val
liable information from him and pass
it along to our farmer readers.

RUSK co. MAN HAS
FINE PURE BRED RTJLL

Z. G.. Crandell has fine S0-acre
home near old hurry. He has been
there four years and bought the place
built good machine house and one
end is used for chickens. The build
ing is 24x4S feet in dimensions.
He has also rebuilt his house and
now has a fine home with a full base
ment The main part is 24x26 with
put a second story ON. One novel
feature in the cellar is a meat smoker
which stands where a furnace will be
installed later.
He has a log barn for the cows
22x2S and stock shed, 22X2S for
young stock. The horse barn is 24x30
and a silo, 10x20, has been built new
this fall between the horse barn and
the cow shed. He enclosed the space
around the silO to make it convenient
for feeding silage and storing other
feed.
On his big clearing he raised By
acres of potatoes which made fair
yield of good quality potatoes. He mao
four acres of good corn and eleven
acres made % loads of good hay.
Mr.. Crandell has a work team, a
saddle pony and a driving mare.
His cattle look better at home than
they do at the fair. He has ~ head
now on the farm and they are all pure
bred Brown Swiss.
These cattle consist of the herd sire,
yearling bull. II cows, two yearling
heifers, and the spring crop of calves.
The bull calves are beauties and a
bunch of five spring heifer calves are
wonderful lot. These five calves
would make a beginner a fine start in
pure bred cattle.
Mr.. Crandell is good feeder and
keeps all of his stock in fine condition
at all times. He brushes his new land
seeds it down and pastures it for a
few years. Then he takes out the
stumps and plOws it for crops and
meadow land.
