Not a day passes that inspectors
employed by city, state or federal gov
eminent, do not condemn food of one
kind or another because it is unfit for
human consumption. Sometimes this
is due to deliberate adulteration, an
intention to defraud the purchasers,
but more often 1t is the result of inn
proper packing, neglect to consider
temperatures to be encountered In
transporting from point of origin to
destination, or failure to consider the
time which must necessarily elapse
before the product is likely to reach
the consumers tables.
All this entails not only great loss
in money, likely to be reflected in
prices demanded of the public, but
also it endangers the public health,
because occasionally some unworthy
article slips through inspection and is
served as food. Enough food products
spoil every week to form very i'm
portant part of the amount needed by
the people; and practically all of it
might be saved through intelligence
and care on the part Of the producers
and shippers.

Brothers in Demand.
Ordinarily the demand Is for broil-
ers of three sizes-squab broilers,
small broilers and large broilers.
SQUAD broilers weigh, dressed, from
three-quarters to one pound; small
broilers, the size most in demand the
greater part of the year, weigh from
one to one and a quarter pounds each,
and large broilers from one and one
half to two pounds.
Broilers may be sold alive or
dressed, in the discretion of the ship
per; but if dressed, this should be
done according to the demands of the
market, and these demands one can
learn only by inquiry and study. Get

APPLY LIMESTONE ANY TIME
Usually Done to Best Advantage in
Late Summer When Teams and
Men Are Available.

Limestone may be applied at any
time when men and teams are avail
able, but this usually is done to best
advantage in late summer, fall or early
winter. It will seldom, if ever, pay to
put on less than ton to the acre, and
more should be used If the soil is
very sour. Applications usually are
not made more frequently than once
in four to six years. The usual appli-
cation varies from one to two and one
half tons an acre.

Harness made of good leather and
heavy enough for the work required
of it will last for many years if cared
for properly. 1t is more economical to
buy harness that is too heavy than to
buy that which is too light for the
work. With good care, harness of the
proper weight and quality will last at

-
IN ISRAELTS story of Vivian
Grey, like. others of his novels,
- deals largely with politics, and
contains character portraits of we'll
known persons of the period.
When Vivian Grey reached the age
of five years it was discovered that the
treatment of a doting mamma and
child, and it was decided that he had
better be sent away to school; when
however, the subject was under dis
cussion, there was a strenuous protest
from Vivian against curls and going to
school,
81 won't have my hair curl,
mamma; the boys will laugh at me"
bawled the spoiled youngster, Charles
Appleyard told me so; his hair curled,
and the boys called him girl. Papa !!
give me some more claret; won't go
to school ~
But in spite of these protests he ives
sent to school, where he stayed some
four years, when it was decided that
he should remain at home for time
and do his studying there; but he was
later sent off again, this time to the
school of Mr.. Dallas at Burnsley vicar
age.
The rumor of the arrival of "a new
fellow" circulated rapidly through the
inmates of the vicarage, and the fifty
young rascals We're preparing to quiz
the newcomer when the schoolroom
door opened and Mr.. Dallas, accom-
panied by Vivian Grey, entered.
"a dandy, by Jovei" whispered one.
"What a knowing set out" squeaked
a second; Mummy SICK" growled a
third this last exclamation was, how
ever, scandalous libel, for certainly
no being ever stood in a pedagogues
presence with more perfect sang-froid,
and with holder trent, than did, at
this moment, Vivian Grey.
The young savages at Burnsley vic
arage had caught Tartar; in very
few days Vivian was decidedly the
most popular fellow in the school; "he
was so dashing so devilish good-tem-
pered, so completely up to every
thingi'
Vivian developed talents of a lit
erary nature which inspired great adj
miration among his fellow pupils, and
also in the mind of Mr.. Dallas.
But there are other attributes which
will win the admiration of school of
real boys; and this proved to be the
case at Burnsley vicarage, when, as
so often happens, some of the boys,
jealous of Vivian's popularity, found,
as they thought, an opportunity to
triumph over him. There was trouble
between the followers of Vivian and
those of Mallet, the head usher; one
of the latter made an insulting remark
to Vivian which he promptly resented
and the battle was on, and Vivian
Grey showed that he could fight as
well as write
Vivian's chief characteristic was
burning ambition; with this he had
great amount of courage and self-as-
surance, and besides these attributes,
tact combined with pleasing per-
sonal presence and manners.
At dinner in his fathers home,
when Vivian was still very young
man, he made the acquaintance of the
marques of Carabas. He came to
the rescue of the marques and his
opinions in an after-dinner discussion,
during which he quoted a whole pas
sage from Bolingbroke in support of
the marques; this was challenged by
Vivian's father, who knew his sons

ers, which were more often his own

misses, SO to speak, the evils affecting
the world and tells how they may be
abated if we but follow the lead of
the Reformers:
For every evil liquor has produced:
the love of gold has produced a thou
sand, For every tear liquor has caus-
ed, love has caused a thousand. For
every dishonest act liquor has occa-
stoned, government has occasioned a
thousand. For every life liquor has
taken, religion ~(unless history lies)
has taken a thousand, and more. Let
us Danish all that is the cause of harm
by legislation. Away with money!
Away with love! Away with govern
ment! Away with religion! Away
with everything! All is evil. Men
drown in water, fall over precipices,
are killed by machinery, dig graves
with their molars, gaze at woman's
figure with their eyes, curse with their

sleep when they should be at work.

ONE Adolph B. Suess, of East st.
Louis, writes the st. Louis Post
Dispatch:
Anent your editorial, Trotzky's "Im-

Americans that, not having sold them
selves boots and b%reeches to England,
and her capitalist minions in Ameri-
ca who prays every day that this i'm
possible war may truly come to pass,
first in order that Justice may be vim
dicated, and that the betrayers of
America, who in recent years were so
strongly for selling American man
hood to England, may be forced to
again line up with our hereditary and
cunning foe, or be placarded correct
ly and stood against a wall and shot
for betraying this country in times of
stress. Truly the impossible War;
will be visualized ere long, despite the
anxieties of, England's friends in the

Mr.. Suess's nationality is disclosed
through his name, which fully ex-
plains his deadly animosity to john
ny Bull. His feeling is natural, but
he ought not call himself "a true
American" in contradistinction to all
who joined with the allies against
the Kaiser. No doubt his curses,
though not so loud, are quite as deep,
against Woodrow Wilson and the boys
in Khaki who went "over there" and
helped win the world war. He seems
to hold them all as "betrayers of
America"
