The Right Thing
at the Right Time


Remember that while you are the
guest of the family you should show
many little courteous attentions to the
women of that family. If there are
young daughters it would be decidedly
rude to devote yourself markedly to
some other young woman whom you
perhaps might feel more interested in
than in the young women of the family
where you are visiting.
Remember that ii is just as i'm
pOrtant and necessary for the young
man to write a bread-and-butter letter
to his hostess as il Is for a young
woman TO do. This letter should be
written within one or two days of your
departure A married man may leave
this to his wife to attend to but the
unmarried man must write for him
self. even though perhaps he has a
sister who has been a guest of the
same household and Is willing to in
clude his expression of gratitude in
her note.

And off flew Willy Bluejay to tell
all the birds in the woods that Miss
Kitten was coming dressed in her new
hat trimmed with the wings and
feathers Of their relatives.
When Miss Kitten reached the mid
die of the woods there on the trees
and bushes, out Of her reach, Of
course, sat hundreds of birds, chatter
ing like mad
you are a thief. you wicked cat y
they shrieked at her, you killed our
children, you killed our mother, you
killed our father, you killed our sister
and you killed our brother"
at first Miss Kitten did not notice
them. but as she walked along they
flew over her. still screaming
Just before she reached the end of
the path out Of the woods down flew
Willy Bluejay and picked off a feather
from her hat
Seeing his daring, Tommie Sparrow
grew bold and down he swooped and
took the hat right off Miss Kittens
head.
"Pick out her eyes, Pick out Ter
eyes :" cried all the other birds, flying
around her until Miss Kitten was so
scared she ran.
But the birds followed, screaming
and Tapping their wings, and at last
Miss Kitten had TO take refuge under
some old boards and stay there until
dark.
Then out she crept, all her vanity
gone. and never again did she bother
the birds or have the least wish to
trim her Sunday hat with feathers.

HOME HEATING PLANTS.

THE first attempt to heat houses
by hot air was probably made
by Benjamin Franklin. The first
3Ot-air furnace was built at Worces-
ter, Mass, in 1885. Heating by hot
water IS OF great antiquity, the Ro-
mans having used this method In their
great baths. In 1777 NJ. BOunemain
proposed this method for heating the
lighthouses IN the Jardin des Plantes,
Paris. The first idea of heating by
steam was introduced In England in
the Eighteenth century by William
Cook of Manchester.

REDUCE LOOSE SMUT
IN RUSH WHEAT BY
SEED TREATING PLANT

RUSHVILLE, Aug. 1.-THE Rush
County Farmers association is really
accomplishing results in reducing
loose smut infection of wheat is shown
by reports sent to the county agents
Office by farmers who had their seed
treated at the hot water treating plant
last fall.
Half of these farms have reported
and in every case they say the treat
ment was successful in reducing the
amount of smut. In some cases not
single smutted head was seen in the
treated while the untreated showed as
high as Is per cent infection.
The treated wheat this year did not
show as large an increase in yield as
was obtained the year before, due to
the fact that the dry condition of the
soil at sowing time last fall was IN
favorable to the water soaked treated
seed.
The moisture in the seed started a
lot of it to sprouting when there was
not enough moisture in the ground to
force the plant out. The result was
a decrease in the stand. In spite Of
this condition, the treated plants
showed an average increase in yield
over the untreated of Is bushels per
acre.
The real benefit from the work of
the Farmers organization along this
| line is shown by the fact that 3,998
bushels of wheat, grown from treated
seed, is reported saved for seed, 1881
bushels being saved for sowing on the
farms where it was grown A total Of
ATS bushels have already been sold TO
neighbors for seed and the county
| agent has 932 bushels more of this
treated seed listed for sale

OHIO EXPERTS TELL
HOW TO GULL HENS


COLUMBUS, o., Aug. 17-Character
analysis may sound like a term of
hopeless erudition to many persons.
but poultry experts in the college of
agriculture at Ohio State university
have brought the high-sounding
phrase right down to the level of the
barnyard.
They are teaching poultry farmers
| to character analyze" their hens.
Physical, however, rather than mental
| quirks are studied.
| During July alone, it is asserted, 81,
| e51 hens were analyzed at gatherings
over the state, and 14,S2S found want
| ing in industry and barren of profit,
were killed
How is hen that loafs on the job
| distinguished? Here are infaIlible
signs, the experts declare:
Melting. Those that shed their
feathers early in the season are
through laying for the entire year.
If the hens legs, beak and eye-rings
are yellow, she has been too busy
laying up body fat to lay eggs.
Low body capacity.
These characteristics, the special.
lists at the University assert, are far
more certain indications whether a
hen will make good or not, than
phrenology in humans.
A third of Ohio's hens show these
signs, according to the workers, and
| should be culled from the f1ocks. Each
hen so culled, they figure, represents
! 60 cents saved on food between now
and 1922, and a further saving of 90
cents, the estimated difference in
value of the carcass now and later
On that basis. they estimate a saving
of s11,765, on hens culled at demonstra
tons in July alone.
