ing upon recent poetic contribu-
ton, says that part of it was taken,
without credit, from one of the
beautiful poems of ELLA WHEEL.
Err WILCOX-"Life's Scars" and
she requests the publication of that
poem. So here it is:
They say the world IL round, and yet
often think IL square:
So many little hurts we get
From corners here and there.
But one great truth In life I've found.
While journeying to the West:
The only folks who really wound
Are those we love the best.
The man you thoroughly despis.
Can rouse your wrath, tits true
Annoyance in your heart will rise
At things mere strangers dol
But these are only passing Ills,
This rule ALI lives will prove:
The ranking wound which aches ana
Is dealt by hands we love.
The choicest gsrb, the sweetest grace
Are oft TO strangers shown;
The careless mien, the frowning face
Are given to our own.
We fiatter those we scarcery know;
We please the flecttng guest;
And deal full many a thoughtless blow
To those who love us best.
Love does not grow on every tree,
Nor true hearts yearly bloom.
Alas for those who only see
This Cpt across tomb!
But, soon or late, the fact grows plain
To all through sorrows test;
The only folks who give pain
Are those we love the best.

WHAT MAKES NEwSs

A fan who is mentioning in a coun-
try town sends a copy of the coun-
try paper containing this among the
local items:'
Everybody Is busy tending to
their own business this week, so
news Is scarce"
The paragraph is not only humorous
but expresses a pertinent fact. When
people are really busy attending to
their own business there isn't much
gossip or much real news for the
country editor. His busy time comes,
though, when other people are not
busy and are attending to somebody
else's business instead of their own.
The application fits big towns as well
as little ones, large Communities and
small ones.

GROWING WINTER
Wheat IN NORTH
Harder Varieties introduced
lhat Give Better Yields
and Mature Earlier.
BETTER DROUGHT RESISTANT
Better Division Of Labor Permits Fall
Seeding and Earlier Harvesting
Careful Selection Of Seed VIII
Aid Yield.

Prepared by the United States Depart
men: of Agriculture)
Since the introduction of the hardy
varieties of wheat from southeastern
Europe there has been decided north
ward movement OF the winter-wheat
area. This movement has been rapid
in recent years. The reasons therefor
are the generally large yields of win
Ter wheat due, first, to its earlier ma
'urlty. thus enabling 1t to escape hail,
hot winds and disease; second, to its
greater drought resistance; and third,
to the better division of labor. which
it allows through fall seeding and ear
lier harvesting.
The profitable production of wheat
In the eastern part of the United
States depends to a considerable ex-
tent on the choice of the best-adapted
varieties. In general. the soft red
winter wheats are grown, although soft
white winter wheats are popular In the
northeastern United States, especially
in New York and Pennsylvania. In
the extreme western portion of the
eastern area, which is limited on the
west approximately by the line of
3O inches of rainfall. hard red winter
wheats of the Turkey type are grown.
Along the line of 80 inches rainfall
there is transition zone in which
hard and soft red winter wheats sue
coed about equally well.
Better Varieties for Many Farms.
Many farmers are doubtless growing
poorer varieties of wheat than they
might grow If they knew exactly what
was adapted to their localities and
farms. The United States Department
of Agriculture has just issued Farm

FARM CHIMNEYS NEED STUDY
They Should Start From Ground and
Not Be Placed on Brackets
Make Foundation Solid.

All chfmneys for farm buildings
should start from the ground. Those
placed on brackets are unsafe and
often increase the rate of insurance.
In properly designed house of mod
crate size, one or at most two chin
neys, each containing several fiues,
will serve every purpose. If possible,
fiue should be provided for each
stove, as much better drafts are there
by obtained, say specialists of the
United States Department of Agri-
culture.
The chimney should have a solid
foundation of brick or stone, and If
of brick, of course. an extra footing
should he laid. The exterior walls
should be two bricks thick and the
division walls one brick thick In
case the chimney is lined with one
of the patent tire-clay Innings now on
the market one brick will prove of
sufficient thickness for the exterior
walls.
In case 1t is necessary to carry a
stovepipe any considerable distance
inside partition to reach the chin
ney, terra Gotta thimble should be
used. and where a pipe passes COM
pletely through a partition 1t should
be protected with a ventilated thin

POSSIBLY HER LAST CHANCE
At All Events, the Object of His Aztec
tions Perfectly Agreed With
Her Eiance,

For several minutes the young man
did not speak. His heart was too
full. 1t was enough for him to know
that this glorious creature loved him !;
that she had promised to share his
fate.
With new and delightful sense of
ownership he feasted his eyes once
more upon her beauty and as he real
lied that henceforth it would be his
privilege to provide for her welfare
and happiness, he could have almost
wept with joy.
His good fortune seemed incredible
Finally he whispered tenderly:
How did it ever happen, darling,
that such bright, shining angel as
yourself fell in love with dull, stu
pid fellow like me?''

absently; "I must have q screw loose

WAS THE NEIGHB0R'S CHICKEN
Incident That Was Embarrassing, Al
though It Also Had an Anus

Some years ago, while living in the
suburbs. we kept few chickens: our
heighbors also had chickens. After
the garden season was over we let
them run. as did our neighbors. In
ms way l suppose they got more or
less mixed.
One day decided to have n chicken
Tor dinner, and, not liking to kill 1t
myself-my husband being away
asked our neighbor if he would kill
il for me. He kindly consented, so |
brought out the particular fowl had
selected. He killed it, and / thanked
him and proceeded TO prepare it for
dinner.
When dinner was over | went out
t. feed the chickens What was my
surprise 10 find among them the fowl

neiShbor's chicken | had asked him to
kill for me.

take ours instead. and they had Il

Barred Plymouth Rock.

county, Nebraska, who in one day en-
rolled in the better sires drive, 65 re-
ported standard-bred fowls. The fiocks
averaged "a birds. The principal
breeds reported are, in the order
stated, Plymouth Rocks, Leghorns,
Rhode Island Reds, Orpingtons and
Wyandottes. Barred Plymouth Rocks
were more numerous than other varie-
ties in the breed. OF the Leghorns
the White Leghorns were raised in
largest numbers, while of the Wyan-
dottes the white variety was some
what more popular than the Silver
Laced Wyandottes. which were sec
ond. Buff OrpingtOns were the only
variety of that breed reported.
The facts stated are believed to
show interest in the keeping of we'll
bred poultry, especially since the Bet
ter Sires-Better Stock blanks merely
call for the number of poultry kept ;
and In all cases the livestock owners
volunteered the facts about breeds
and varieties. 1t Is also noteworthy
that, whereas the better-sires drive is
aimed chiefly at the Improvement of
breeding males, in the case of poultry
n large majority of females likewise
are standard bred
