Applause,

Il am very glad that you won SO
many honOrs and flowers and so
much applause" said Foddle to his
daughter. But don't let it turn your
head, because. you know. applause is
customary on such occasions and
doesn't signify anything.
Moreover, there are many kinds of
applause -appreciative, perfunctory,
derisive, applause for the fun of ap-
plauding and deafening applause.
Nov, in your case, my dear, while
your paper was excellent, as excel
lent as the encyclopedia could make
it, you must remember that the peo-
pie who were there would have APP
plauded anything. In fact, the poorer
it was the more they would have ap-
plauded, and if you had broken down
entirely the applause would have been
deafening.
Once / was the recipient of re-
sounding acclaim, and 1t didn't turn
my head bit. Also, have been the
recipient of derisive applause. Once ]
did a monolog. At the end of each of
my funny sallies l waited minute
for them to clap their hands. The
noise was deafening and the laughter
was of the same nature. The audi
ence remembered my monolog. too,
and every time thereafter that went
on the stage to adjust piano stool
or anything, was applauded, and ev-
cry time spoke people nudged each
other and grinned.
But it seemed to me there was a
derisiVe note in 1t all. My knees
shook and my voice had way of
quitting when most needed it. When
finally skidded over a rug there was
{, storm of merriment that I could not
attribute to my histrionic ability.
They encored me. They wanted>more
of that falling down stuff. Brim,
brim, rim-brim-brim! I think said
Hang the lucki' as l sprawled on the
floor, and those simple words were
uttered with sufficient expression to
show that / wasn't a clothing-store
dummy made of wire or wood.
Il made a hit in the playlet. also,
when / said: 'Convict's daughter or
not, / will marry her!' There were
shrieks of laughter at that. And again
when / said the simple words, oh.
Margaret there came near being @
riot"

oRlT ESSENTIAL.

R0aityY keepess whose 6ocsss have
access to soil that Is gravelly need
not worry about grit for their birds.
for they will supply their own wants;
but by far the greater number OF
flocks do not get enough grit. This
causes. directly or indirectly. more
ailments among birds than most poul-
trymen are aware of. Bringing on d.
gestive disorders the trouble is dag
nosed offhand as one disease or an
other and the sick birds are probably
doped for some sickness that they
never had.
Grit constitutes the chickens teeth.
It grinds their feed. If there is not
enough grit for the birds needs an
abnormal condition prevails. and its
health is impaired.
Some poultrymen let the fowls
work over the coal ashes from which
they pick good many small -cinders
that make very good substitute for
grit. Discarded chinaware that has
been broken or cracked also may be
disposed OF to good advantage as grit
by breaking II up into small pieces
and letting the flock have it. Broken
glassware thrown into the furnace or
stove and allowed to melt. then bro
ken up. is used as grit by some poui-
trymen. The melting process obviates
the danger Of cutting the inside It's

DIVERSITY IN POULTRY RAISING

There are few undertakings so de-
ceptive in profits as poultry raising.
One man will get say. half dozen
hens and his calculations at the end
Of year will show that he has made
a profit Of 80 or IS bird. From such
basis ne VIII figure that with 100
birds 5000 or $500 a year In profits
would be expected. But for some rea-
son such ventures never pay in such
proportions. The secret OF getting
maximum profits out Of poultry rails
ing lies in giving the flock the right
kind OF care. in cutting off all chances
of loss and in utilizing all possible
sources of income-in other words. d.
yersifying.
If the flock of 100 birds would re-
ceive the same individual care and
could have the same amount of room
in proportion, the same profits. pro-
portionately, could be made as on the
half dozen. But these are the condi-
lions that are seldom figured in at
their full value.
The first serious error made by the
poultryman who wishes to spread out
is to make it too large at one time.
The safer thing to do is to add few
birds as room. ability to care for them
properly and other conditions will
permit. BY diversifying 1t will be pos
sible to realize a larger profit, pro-
portionately. with fewer birds and
smaller space than otherwise.
The poultryman who makes the
greatest profits in proportion to the
number of birds kept. is the one who
has something to sell every week In
the year.

MONEY FROM SOME WEEDS

"Any weed on your placer" asks
''The Kansas Industrialist," and it
continues: zone years seeding, the
old farm proverb says, is seven years
wedding. Better get busy and do
something. The big stick in the
weed industry Is to prevent the seed
ing-no royal road, no easy task, but
mighty important to every farmer.
You just have to get down and work
hard If once you get fine stand of
weeds. Watch all your seed, know 1t
is clean; send 1t to the Kansas State
Agricultural College, Department of
Botany, If necessary and have it ana
lyzed"
Commenting on this the Topeka
State Journal says: "Of courses II

ious weeds that thrive today are the

Methods Best Suited to PhylIcx-
era In California.
Two hunderd thousand acres Of
vineyards planted with European
vines, It Is estimated, have been des-
tYoyed iH California by phylloxera
since its introduction into this coun-
try. Except in the case of vineyards
which can be flooded cheaply and the
insect killed In this way, the only
means Of reestablishing these vine
yards Is to grow the European var
Mics on native stocks that are resist
ant to phylloxera.
TO assist grape growers to do this
the United States Department of Ag-
riculture has just published bulletin
No. zoe, "Testing Grape Varieties in
ahe Vinifera Regions of the United
States" which records the results OF
Investigations carried on at num-
Der OF experiment vineyards In the
last four or five years. The
chief feature OF this bulletin is SER
res Of extensive tables showing the
behavior OF the important European
varieties of grapes when grown on
their own roots and also when graft
Cd on the various stock varieties
whose roots are resistant to phyllox-
era It is, OF course. important to
know the relative relationship of
stock and scion and the behavior of
each variety towards the resistant
stocks on which it may be grated,
and It is this information which the
tables already mentioned furnish.
In the past the lack of this infor-
nation as to the best varieties and
stocks for special conditions has rem
dered useless the efforts of grape
growers to reestablish vineyards
which have been destroyed by phyl
loxera. The growers planted yariet
les that were not resistant, or used
the wrong resistants for the locality
or selected stocks that were not suit
able for the varieties grated or
them. These and similar mistakes
have prevented the more widespread
wse OF resistant varieties as stocks
The information now collected and
published by the Department of Agri
culture. however, should render such
mistakes unnecessary In the future,

Insurance came from medieval
Italy 1t is believed to date from the

Pharmacy and medicine were first
made separate professions by the
monks and priests of the tenth and

apothecaries seems to have been Con-

to the rich and given to the poor. No

as to insure reliable samples. The de-
vice does not require power of any
kind, as its principle is the distribu-
ton by gravity of the material to be
sampled over cone, which Is provid-
ed with separate ducts in way to In

The device also can be so arranged
that one-half of the sample can be
used for testing and grading, and the
second half provided for the seller or
buyer. II can also be used for blend

Crown gall nearly always makes It's
first appearance on young trees iii
the nursery. The microscopic organ,
isms attack the roots, causing an alb
normal growth or a development Of
rough irregular gals. This trouble
should not be confused with gals
arising from the injury of the wolly
aphis. Every tree before planting
should be inspected with the greatest
care and If gals Of any size are found
the tree should be burned. When in

case usually becomes more serious

words upon De Witt vas electrical.
The man sat ~bolt-upright, stared at
him, snorted, and then deliberately
shot out his foot, the heavy boot strik>
ing Winton in the pit Of the stomach
and causing him to double up with
pain.
It was only for a moment. Winton
Ieaped at him, tore him from his place,
and sent him spinning backward
against the window with a well-planted
blow in the face.
Instantly the coach was in an uproat,
Hands were outstretched to pulf
Winton away. But Winton, mad with
a e and pain, was ignorant Of them
and of Daddy Seaton's high, %quavering
cry Of alarm. AS De Witt recovered
himself. he followed his blow with ans
other, which landed sQuarely on tina
mans lip. The blood spurted as from
an artery, and De Witt reeled and fell
backward as the door gave. In his fall
he clutched at Winton and dragged
him from the vehicle.
A few seconds later Winton found
himself facing De Witt upon the sand.
The coach had stopped some hundred
yards distant, and its occupants were
running back toward the pair.
In a flash Winton realized two
things: first, that his enemy was not
a coward, at least when Infatuated:
second, that he was a man of great
muscular strength. De Witt ran at
him, believing like a bull, while the
blood from his cut lip streamed down
over his chin.
Winton was no near boxer, but the
trained man is not always proited by
his lore in a rough-and-tumble. There
followed a confusion OF short blows
which never got home; then De Witt
had him by the throat but lost his
hold. Winton grew calmer. The others
were almost upon them, and he meant
to punish De Witt before they were
separated. He watched for his op-
p~ortunity, and as De Witt, finching
under a short and comparatively harm
less jab at his face, opened a space be-
tween his body and his extended arms,
Winton shot his right upward with
the full force of his body behind it.
1t was a deadly blow at close range,
permitting the extension of the strik-
er's arm to the full, with no possibility
OF an ounce of the dr~iving-pOwer be-
ing lost. 1t caught De Witt upon the
point of the jaw, and the man dropped
