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 it's
counterpart in the phrase, "There is
no medicine for a 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" (Aquila non
capt. muscas) will recall old memories
of the pride and sarcasm Of the Ro-
mans. + So also will they be pleased to
read the japanese aphorism, "The fall
con does not peck at ears of corn, y
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.

Land Needs Awakening.

Patagones is romantic city In the
Rio Negro valley, but surrounded by
a pampa SO abandoned and dreary
that no one goes there if he can help
it. An imaginative writer has fancied
the town as Sleeping Beauty wait
ing for the railroad, her Fairy Prince,
No railroad reaches Patagones yet.
The houses are all built around the
little church, whose bell used to toll
warning of Indian invasions. Though
the Rio Negro valley still lies desolate
for want of transportation, the Great
Southern railway is pushing branch
now up into that lonely land that
could be fruitful.-New York Evening
Post.

ICE FOR DAIRY AND FAMILY
Amount Necessary Depends Greatly
on Number Of Cows MIXED and
Ways of Handling.

The quantity Of ice needed for a
dairy farm with 10 or more cows de-
ponds on it's location, number of cows
MIXED, and methods of handling the
product. In the Northern States, the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture has found that, with moderately
good ice house, where the shrinkage
from melting is not more than 80 per
cent, half ton of ice to each COW is
sufficient to cool the cream and hold
it at low temperature for delivery
two or three times week. Suitable
cooling tanks, however, are necessary
under this estimate.
The half-ton-per-cow estimate for
ice to be stored allows for reasonable
waste and also for ordinary house
hold use. If whole milk is to be cooled
the quantity of ice stored must be in
creased to IL tons per COW in the
North. To meet the needs of the aver.
age family on a general farm it will
be necessary to store abput five tons.

WHY DRUGGISTS RECOMMEND
SWAMP ROOT

For many years druggists have watched
with much interest the remarkable record
maintained by DR.. Kjlmer's Swamp Root,
the great kidney, liver and bladder medi-
zine.
It is a physicians prescription.
Swamp-Root is Strengthening medi-
cine. 1t helps the kidneys, liver and blad-
der do the work nature intended they
should do.
Swamp Root has stood the test of years.
It is sold by all druggists on it's merit
and it should help you. No other kidney
medicine has so many friends.
Be sure to get Swamp Root and start
treatment at once.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to DR..
Kilmer & Co.. Binghamton, N. Y, for a
sample bottle. When writing be sure and
mention this paper Advertisement.

SPECIAL RATION FOR FOWLS
Great Deal of Concentrated Feed Is
Given Where Table Scraps Are
Fed to Flock.

Owners of backyard flocks, and
sometimes farmers, depend to a con-
siderable extent upon table scraps as
feed for the hens. Feed of this sort
varies a good deal in composition with
different families and also with the
season, but in winter it is usually free
from large quantities of coarse green
stuff and contains a great deal of fair
ly concentrated feed.
The United States Department of
Agriculture has designed ration spe-
cially to be fed to fiocks that receive
all Of the table scraps. The mash of
this ration Is made up of three pounds
corn meal, one pound bran, one pound
middIings, one-half pound meat scrap.
The scratch feed contains two pounds
cracked corn, one pound wheat and
one pound oats. II scraps are not
available, feed i've bounds Of cooked

says Mothers Magazine. Needless
marring and scratching of furniture
means money and labor expended
'Needlessly. If children are taught
how TO wake small repairs. they will
be interested in the condition of the
house. The saving of fuel and light
should be taught. The careless use OF
fuel is exactly the same as burning
money. Show them why they leave
the room, and teach them to use the
gas or oil stove economically. When
the boy is old enough to tend the fur
mace, show him how to take care OF
it properly. He will be interested in
the saving OF coal. The amount saved
by the more careful use Of light and
fuel might well be invested in some
thing for the benefit of the whole fam

quently it is asserted that purebred
and high-grade herds and fiocks are
the result of wealth rather than the
cause of it. In it's effort to throw
light on this question the United
States Department Of Agriculture has
been especially interested in survey
conducted in Tioga county, New York,
as part of the program of. work Of
the farm bureau, which believes in
purebreds as contributing factor in
farm prosperity.
According to data furnished the de-
partment by Harold B. Fuller of the
farm bureau, the survey revealed the

fact that only about so per cent Of
the sires used in the dairy herds Of
the county are purebred. The re-
mainder are either grades or scrubs.
About 20 per cent of the cows list
ed are purebreds. These animals are
for the most part scattered through
large number of herds, showing that
the average dairyman is working into
purebreds as fast as financial condi-
tions will permit.
In studying the census it is noticed
Immediately that the most prosper
Gus sections of the county have high
grades and purebreds. This is not
confined entirely to the valley farms,
since the town of Tioga contains the
largest number of purebreds-35 bulls
and 1925 cows of any town in the
county. Newark valley is in hilly
country for the most part, but it is a
prosperous farming section. 1t boasts
of 68 purebred bulls and 81 purebred
cows among 1893 animals or nearly
10 per cent. In another town in SINH
lar billy country the agriculture is
more backward. The purebred cat
tie are limited to II bulls and 18
cows out of 506 animals, which is but
little more than 5 per cent. Similar
differences were noted in six other
townships surveyed.
The Tioga county farm bureau is
starting on a campaign to eliminate
the scrub sire from the herds of the
county. At the fall county fair in
September a purebrcd bull sale was
held on the last day. The animals
were sold to the highest bidder re-
CARELESS of price. In some cases the
farm bureau will arrange with men to
own a sire as community enterprise,
and to exchange sires from one COM
munity to another as time goes on.
Every effort is made to eliminate in
ferior stock and to place purebred
bulls and heifers wherever possible on
grade farms.
