Noted Civil War Spy.

A woman WINS the most dramatic Of
the Civil war spies. She was Emma
Edmonds, who early had an ambition
TO be foreign missionary. At the
start of the war she became nurse
with the Army of the Potomac; later
she was in the, hospitals, and when
headquarters wanted spy she volun-
teered. Eleven times Emma Edmonds
entered the Confederate lines In dis
guise and was not caught. Once she
went as a negro youth and deceived
the negroes with whom she worked.
She brought back plans Of fortifca-
tons and such scraps of military In
telllgence as she could pick up. As a
negress, she was sent to Confederate
headquarters to cook, and there OBJ
tanned valuable papers. During Pope's
Virginia campaign she made three Wis
its to the enemy in ten days and re
turned each time with valuable In
formation.

1t may be that the effect of using
crossbred and scrub boars on purebred
sows will be studied.
Ten crossbred sows, of various breed
mixtures, and ten scrub sOws of the
razor-back kind will be used. Half Of
each of those groups will be bred to a
crossbred, and half Of the other group
will be bred to a scrub. This same
scheme of breeding will be carried on
from generation to generation. Some
Of the offspring will be fed out and
some Of them will be kept for breed
ing before being fed out. Shoats from
the different lots will be put in feed
lots together and fed alike, so that
a fair comparison can be made. Some
of these scrubs and crossbreds will be
compared in feeding trials with pure
breds raised on the departments ex-
perimental farm at Beltsville, Md
Some will be put into different expert
mental lots on various feeds.
Nearly everybody thinks the pure
bred Is superior to the scrub, but there
is disagreement among farmers about
the merits of purebred and crossbred
feeders. The department hopes that
in due time its experiments will give
results that will answer any doubts.

PROVERBS HELD IN COMMON
Remarkable Similarity OF ideas Noted
Among Nations, Both Of the
Old and New World.

The similarity Of ideas all over the
world is found In the similarity Of ex-
pressions to convey the ideas. The
old English proverb "A fool and his
money are soon parted" finds its
counterpart In the phrase. 'There Ii
no medicine for fool" But the
Japanese also claim that by good
management they can do something
even with fools, when they say, "Fools
and scissors move according to the
mode OF using them" Some Of US car
ry our Latin with us all our lives
just because we had good teacher.
To these, the old Latin saying. "The
eagle does not catch flies" tAquila non
capt. muscas) will recall old memories
of the pride and sarcasm Of the Ro-
mans. So also win they be pleased to
read the Japanese aphorism, 1.-THE fall
con does not peck at ears Of corn"
which is true, as falcons, especially
those OF the peregrine type, are much
more likely to seize and carry small
animals like lambs, rabbits. chickens.

Diseased Condition of Seed Sweet Corn

the corn belt the damage has been so
great that the corn was rendered unfit
for harvesting as seed, practically no
ears being found which were not In
jured.
These observations and reports to
the department are all based on the
evident and conspicuous defects that
have been found In sweet corn and
dent varieties. It Is known, more
over, that many of the apparently
good ears in these damaged fields are
diseased and unless special precau-
lions are taken, for example testing
with the rag-doll germinator, they
may pass as good seed corn.
During the past three years it has
been found that much of the sweet
corn seed which has been purchased in
the open market has been badly In
fected with mold and carrot organ
isms. The quality of seed obtainable
for use next spring depends, then,
upon how the seed grown last year
has been cared for, and upon the at
tention given the selection of seed
| from this seasons crop.

KEEP ONLY PUREBRED STOCK
High-cIass Stock Of Any Kind Has
Tendency to Bring other Good AMI
mails to Farm.

The first fundamental of successful
poultry keeping. whether on the farm,
in a city yard, or In the large plant, is
good stock. 1t is true that good
many farmers and others get fairly
good results from ordinary stock, but
If the same care and attention were
devoted to birds of better breeding
more satisfactory returns would be
made
There Is another benefit from keep
ing good stock that is not easily meas
ured, but, nevertheless, is recognized
as having q big money value in the
long run. That benefit is the general
Improvement In the place, methods
and the man himself, that comes from
having birds that are above the ordl'
nary. A man who has well-bred stock
talks about 1t and shows 1t to his
neighbors. Naturally, he wants the
surroundings Of his flock to look ship
shape, and he takes pride in showing
a knowledge of feeds and the meth
DDS Of feeding.
High-ciass stock Of any kind has
tendency to bring other purebred AMI
mails to the farm. A good purebret
animal continues Its work Of improve
ment indefinitely, not only within 1t
own class, but everywhere on the farm
from the field to the library.

lation Is slow and labored, and to limit
It by piling the sacks so that they ex-

serious interference. In placing pota-

Lined Care Returned to Shippers.
1t is recognized that preparation of
the car in the manner indicated In
wolves a considerable initial expense.
Usually, however, shippers plan to use
both the stove and the lumber for re-
peated shipments. In Maine cars are
equipped substantially In the way de-
scrlbed and used by shippers repeated

starting points free of charge to the
shipper.
The general rule west of the Mlssis-
sippi is to permit the return of Innings
and stoves by freight free Of charge.
In other regions the regular freight
rate usually is charged. Efforts are
being made to have an arrangement,
similar to that existing In Maine, ap-
plicable throughout the country, and
where the car lining and stove are re-
moved it has been recommended that
the railroads return them to the ship

SAFEST RATION FOR STEER
sllaae, Together With cottonseed or
Oil Meal, and Either Glover
or Alfalfa.

The safest steer ration for man
who has silage Is to feed 40 or 30
pounds of sllage per steer daily, to-
gether with about pounds Of cotton
seed meal or oil meal and 2 or 8
pounds of hay, preferably clover or al
falfa. Cottonseed cake generally con-
tains more protein than oil meal, but
the protein in oil meal is of higher
quality, and ordinarily we would be
willing to pay SIS or SO ton more for
oil meal than for cottonseed meal. The
question of feeding corn to steers de-
ponds to considerable extent on the
future action Of the corn and cattle
market. Probably 1t will be just as
well to feed four or five pounds OF
corn to the average steer daily during
the last month or two of the feeding
period.

GRAIN FOR GEESE IN WINTER
Handful of Equal Parts oats and Corn
for Each Fowl Is About Right
Feed Green Stuff.

The grain rations for geese in win
ter should be equal parts oats and

bird once q day. Geese require an
abundance Of green feed every day
throughout the year. Clover hay or
alfalfa should be cut green, and when
properly cured makes excellent VIM
