MERCER, WORLD
WAR HERO, DIES
Kingdom Of Belgium Plunged In
Sorrow as Heroic War Figure,
Courageous to End, Passes

Brussels-Cardinal Mercier, primate
OF Belgium and one of the heroic
figures of the World war, died at the
age Of "A, losing his long battle against
the decline that set in after an opera
ton December 20. He was surrounded
by members of his family. the clergy
Of his archdiocese, and a representa-.
tive Of King Albert, when the end
came. Already there Is talk in Brus-
sells Of erecting a monument in honor
Of "the wartime soul Of Belgium" by
popular subscription.
Cardinal Desiratus Mercier was &C
claimed as hero priest by the civilized
world because of his defense of Bel
GUM, stricken to earth with the Ger
man advance in 1914. He was in
Rome when news of the invasion
reached him and fastened back to
Belgium. His courageous attitude to-
ward the invaders evoked the world 3
admiration. His devotion to his peo-
pie never faltered, even under the
pressure Of threats of violence to him
self. His famous Pastoral Letter Of
December, 1914, read in every church
In Belgium, has been called one of the
most damning indictments Of the Ger
man invasion of Belgium and German
treatment of Belgium people ever
written.
The working people paid homage

Milk House Is Decided
ADVANTAGE to Dairvman

A milk house on the dairy farm
properly fitted with separator, tester
hot and cold water and Ice box with
sink and drains is q decided advan-
tage to the dairyman, but many OF Us
are unable to afford such equipment.
Many Of us have milk houses supplied
with well water but may not have
Ice. An ice house with Ice supply Is
thing to look forward to but without
one 1t Is necessary to keep the cream
at a low temperature until It Is made
Into butter or taken to the creamery.
If no milk house is on the farm, a
handy place can be fitted up for tenn
porary use in caring for the cream BY
enclosing the windmill frame. The
four posts make a good framework
for support and an opening can be
left for the rod to work through at the
top. This will keep the sun off and
the running water will keep the place
quite cool. The door should be kept
closed either by spring or a weight
on rope so the wind will not whip It
open. This little precaution will also
avert the danger of leaving it open
by carelessness and will help to keep
out the flies.
With good floor and troughs ar
ranged for drainage it can be made
quite sanitary. A tank can be OBJ
tanned having lid, and large enough
to set two or four large cream cans
In, and by running the pipe directly
from the pump into this tank then an
other pipe from there out into the
stock tank the water will be kept cir
culating and cool and keep the cream
at q reasonably low temperature. Such
an equipment as this is quite cheap
and will answer the purpose very
nicely until milk house can be built.

Small Grain Seeded
q to Withstand Frost
Order of Resistance Wheat,
Oats and Barley.

Observations made at the Nebraska
experiment station and reported In
Bulletin POI show that the order of
spring frost resistance is spring wheat,
oats and barley. The Nebraska sta
ton agronemists suggest, therefore,
that the grain be seeded in that order,
At the Nebraska station, at Lincoln,
the best results have been secured by
seeding small grain during the last
week in March or the first week In
April. Eastern Nebraska corresponds
In season to much Of Iowa and Illinois
and other middle-western states, and
the Nebraska recommendation ought
to be Of interest to farmers through.
out the Middle West.
Results at the Nebraska station In
dictate that the best rates of seeding
per acre are eight to ten pecks FOL
oats, six pecks for spring wheat and
eight to ten pecks for barley. Little
difference In yield was found between
broadcasting and drilling.
From the standpoint Of using the
grains as nurse crops, the average
date Of ripening is Of interest. At the
Nebraska station, barley has ripened
earlier than any other spring grain,
the average date for barley being from
July 2 to 4. Early oats has, on the
average, ripened about July Z, spring
wheat about July 10 to Is, and late
oats on July IA. When grown as a
nurse crop, barley thus has an advan.
tage Of several days over other spring
grains.
The Nebraska agronomists found
that whenever good quality Of grain
Is obtained from the threshing ma.
chine free Of noxious weed seeds or
trash. tanning or grading Is not re-
garded as important in preparation for
seeding. Use Of an established treat.
ment for smut Is always desirable,
and especially when smut Is known to
have appeared in the preceding crop.

Women and Wireless

Many women are finding careers of
one kind or another In wireless as en-
tertalners. There are openings as lee
turers for women possessed Of expert
knowledge Of matters of particular
interest to their sex. The field, how
ever, Is somewhat restricted by the
fact that women's voices are generally
inferior to mems for broadcasting pur-
poses, although, as broadcasting off,

the fault Of the microphone, not of
