BOY SENT TO PEN FOR LIFE

Clarence Replogle, II year-old
boy who was raised by the late C.
A. Perkins of the In-Between neigh
borhood, was given life term in
the penitentiary of Oregon last
week for bank robbery. The first
year will be spent in the state re-
formatory, as the Oregon law does
not permit receiving criminals un-
der l8 years at the penitentiary.
Replogle with three young compan-
ions whom he had met in Por tIand, /,
held up bank at a small town
near Albany. Oregon, getting about
S40O. The quartet was captured
two hours after the robbery. They
we're all sentenced to the peniten.

line. A man - pinned the
poets fancy into the art by putting
on the American table a drink
such as princes paid fortunes for
In ancient Russia.
1t was he who conceived the .
idea of roasting the tea leaf for
the second time after It's journey
across the Pacific to restore Its
original flavor and fragrance.
Hidden in the veins of the rose
like leaf OF the tea plant is the
essential oil OF tea. This is the
soul Of it's flower. The second
roasting. or toasting as It is called
In the tea vernacular. draws this
essential tea oil to the edges Of
the leaf ready for release when
drenched with hot water. And
that Is the secret Of delicious tea.
But tea preservation was a differ
ent matter and difficult art.
Curiously enough Schilling has
been an outstanding figure in the
packing OF teas In America.
In 1881 he introduced to tho
American public the first tea to be
packed In tins. This was known
as the Perfection Tin. Before this.
tea had always been sold in bulk
form. The Perfection Tin was the
first move toward packazed tea in
America. And ladies with very
thin waists and very large bustles
accepted with pleased astonishment
this radical Improvement on the
paper bag. His next development
was the parchmyn lined carton
which became the standard method
OF packing teas all ovsr America.
It 0eems natural that this man
should present the latest develop
ment in tea packing sealing HOT
In vacuum tins.

WRAPPING CHRISTMAS
PARCELS

A simple gift attractively wrapped
often makes happier impression
than more elaborate present care
lessly done up. It is not necessary to
spend a great deal of money dress
ing up packages, but gay colored pa
per, a bright ribbon or colored cord,
perphaps picture of holly wreath
cut from some of the attractive ad-
vertising common in the magazines
and papers before the holidays, will
transform mere bundle. to a very
pleasantly mysterious packet
One girl / know gets red tissue to
wrap her gifts, ties them with tho
gilt cord which comes in l0-yard
spools for cent yard, and slips
under the cord a sprig of evergreen;
another girl saves all the pasteboard
boxes throughout the year, of every
size and shape--spool boxes, pill
boxes, shoe boxes,-and for Christ
mas covers them with clean paper
plain white If she does not have
co1ored handy-and decorates them
with pictures cut from magazine sad-
vertisements. / saw her yesterday cut
ting out the green holly wreath on an

Instead Of using cord or ribbon to
tie parcels, two sisters l know buy
a roll each Of the red and the green
crepe tissue, cut 2--inch strips of
the green and Inch wide of the
red, flute the edges, and put them
around the parcels, the red over the
green, giving much the same effect
as the fancy two-color elastic with
futed edges. 1t is pasted where 1t
comes together, and finished with
gummed seal "sticker" or picture
cut-out.
I remember one Christmas tree at
a home where I visited, where the
gifts were all wrapped in bright
colored paper. tied at the ends and

Profitable for Farmers
to Begin Raising Colts

That the time has arrived when the
farmer will find it profitable to begin
raising the colts which will be needed
soOn TO replace the old horses on his
farm, and that should he raise a few
more than he needs Of the good de-
pendable draft type, they will be
readily salable at a profitable price
by the time they reach 81 Salable age,
are outstanding conclusions drawn by
w. Ii. Peters, chief of the division Of
animal h~usbandry. University of Min
nesota, in Special Bulletin No. 80, en-
titled, THE Colt as Profitable Farm
Product" and issued by the agricul-
tural extension service. Mr.. Peters
contends II will not be long until the
purchasing power or value of horses
will start definitely upward. Old
horses are dying off much more rapidly
than colts are coming on TO take their
places, he says. In this new bulletin
of 20 pages Mr.. Peters not only an
alyzes ~present-day problems in horse
raising, but discusses the feeding and
care OF horses. Copies of the bulletin

ton to the Office of publication, Uni

Raising Dairy Heifers
Most Economical Scheme

In view OF the, fact that it is be-
coming more difficult each year to Sc
cure the right kind of dairy stock the
most economical way for farmers to
build up a good herd is to raise the
heifers from the best cows, being care
full to have the calves sired by a pure
bred dairy bull. according to the Ken
lucky College Of Agriculture. The
problem of feeding may be considered
from two standpoints; first, when
whole milk is sold from the farm and
skim milk is therefore not available /;
and second, when cream is sold and
skim milk Is available for feeding to
the young animals.
Three plans may be followed by the
farmer who has a market for whole
milk. The first is to give the calves a
good start on whole milk and Mt the
end of two months put them on a hay
and grain ration. The second plan is
to give the calves whole milk for two
weeks and then change to a ration of
calf cruel or milk substitute the third
Is to give the calves the least amount
of milk required to promote normal
growth.

Early cabbage, radishes, onions, early

average date of last killing frost:
Beets, carrots, lettuce, spinach, cauli-

be planted about the last frost date.
Two wesks after that date, snap beans,

Winter Water Supply Is
Important for Poultry

mash for egg production, but II takes
water to wash down that mash. SO II
pays to keep a galvanized paileof fresh
water near the mash hopper. If the
pail is placed in a small wooden store
box inst a little wider than the diam
eter Of the pail, 1t will not be tipped
over when the hens jump up on the

If iron pals are used for winter
drinking fountains you have a recep-
tacIe that Is easy to seoul and clean.
A little boiling water and a few corn
cobs win Don scrub the scum from
the drinking pals and make the water

relish clean water and drink more Of
it when the fresh supply arrives, The
use OF clean pals is a great help In
keeping down the spread of respiratory

Cause of Root Knot
anu Way to Control
lIuch Damage Done Crops
by Disease of Plants.

prepared by the United states Department
of Agriculture)
A serious disease Of plants known
as root knot and root gall causes inn
mense damage in all except the most
northern parts of this country, says
the United States Department Of Ag-
riculture, and attention should be di-
rected to the continued spread of this
disease in order that effective meas
ures may be adopted for its control.
Root knot is the cause of serious dam
age to many crops. The extent of the
damage is difficult to estimate, since
il is both direct and indirect and in
many cases is overlooked entirely. The
direct damage is that caused to the
growing crops. The indirect damage
results from the fact that the pres
ence of the disease makes it imprac-
ticable to grow certain crops which
are particularly susceptible TO injury.
The disease is fully discussed in a
new bulletin issued by the United
States Department Of Agriculture as
Farmers Bulletin 1916. Control meth
DDS suggested vary under different
conditions. Some crops are resistant
TO the disease and these may be used
on infested soil. The disease may be
eliminated in, green houses and seed
beds by the application of steam IN
der high pressure or by the introduce
ton of uninfested soil into clean
whitewaShed benches. The home veg
etable garden of the South can very
well be brought back into productive
ness by a special grain and chicken
garden rotation.

ment of Agriculture Washington, ID. C.
