Cocktail 

The making of cocktails is 8 rite requiring precise measurements of quantities and thoughtful choice of ingredients. Some cocktails need only to be gently stirred, while others permit shaking. But in any case, those which are made by guesswork are never the same as those made with care and precision.
 Another point that should be re- membered is this one which con- cerns the repeat cocktail: when cocktails are encored, another mix ing should be made, using none of the left-overs from the first set. Piquancy in cocktails is achieved in their careful mixing and in the fine quality of ingredients. There are hundreds of different combinations, and as many names for them. These several cocktails that have given are among the more than seventy which I myself have con- piled.
 Bacardi Cocktail 1 drink of Bacardi juice of half lemon
 2 dashes of gum syrup
 Shake well in a mixing glass with cracked ice, strain and serve. A poll of the different bars of New York places Bacardi cocktail as one of the outstanding favorites. Applejack Cocktail
 drink apple jack 2 dashes gum syrup 1 dash Angostura bitters Shake well in a mixing glass -yith cracked ice, strain and serve. Absinthe Swiss
 Pour pony of green absinthe into a large goblet glass, add cube of ice, lump of sugar, and pour water into it very slowly. The mixture will turn cloudy white.
 Benetiictine Cocktail
 II lemon juice
 4 Benedictine
 F fine cognac
 Shake well in a mixing glass with cracked ice; strain and serve.

American Oats Output
Exceeds Other Nations

The United States oats crop, like
our corn crop, far outranks that of
any other nation in the world. Ac-
cording to reports of the United
States department of agriculture the
American oats crop for 1887 totaled
l las, 258, 900 bushels. This was 1886
per cent of the world total of 4, 49,
100000 bushels.
In the drouth year of 1886 the
United States produced 785, 500, 900
bushels, or 1914 per cent of the
world crop of 4,O43, 900, 900 bushels.
In the preceding year domestic pro-
duction reached 1,194, 1902, 900 BUSH
els, or 1914 per cent of the world
crop of ATS, 1000, 900 bushels.
Other leading oats producing coun-
tries in 1887 were Germany, with
404, 304, 900 bushels; France, 313, $751;
600 bushels; Canada, 291, 622 900; Po-
land, 166,034, 900; United Kingdom,
165, 100000 Czechoslovakia, 94,545,-
600; Sweden, 6,475,0 600; Argentina,
48,915, 900, and Finland, 46, 1859 900.
Accurate figures on the Russian
oats crop are not available but it is
generally considered to be among
the largest.
In bushels produced the oats crop
ranked second to corn, which totaled
5,050,0O0, $1,000 bushels. The other prin-
cipal crops were wheat, barley,
and rye in that order.

place by velvet ribbon, with flowers
clustered over the hair, altogether
a picture that bespeaks the very es-
sence of youth and beauty in fashion.
Color and charm from Victorian
flower garden are recaptured in the
purple and green silk print that
fashions the dress centered in the
picture. Shirred detail gives soft
ly flattering line to the bodice and
sunburst pleating in the skirt. The
two-tone grosgrain girdle is accent
ed by nosegay of flowers repeat
ing the theme of the silk print.
Speaking of millinery that has
gone sweetly feminine, take look
at the demure velvet-tied bonnet
which the young modern to the left
in the group is wearing. You can
tell at a glance that this quaint
model is inspired by the lines of the
bonnets of Civil war days. Which
goes to show that old fashions are
repeating in new; fashions this sea-
son, which is really striking char
acteristic of trends running through
out the entire ganut of present
modes. AS to the charming dress
she wears it is made of a "sani-
tized" silk print as are also each Of
the other frocks shown, this being a
new process that deodorizes and
keeps your materials antiseptic
(germ free and germ repellent).
The print glorifies fuchsia color
theme. Pleating at the top of the
sleeves is released to puff the Shout
ders and the skirt is cut with be-
coming swing fare.
The printed silks fashionable for
evening wear are simply gorgeous,
the wallpaper-design flower motifs
are in some instances almost over
whelmingly enormous, achieving an
effect of imposing elegance. Another
important trend is toward rustling
plaid taffeta for formal party frocks.

Farm Population

Farms continue to be the chief
sources of increased population in
the United States. More than $4,000
babies were born on farms during
1887, and 341 1000 of the farm popu-
lation died. This leaves a net in
crease of $4,000 persons. In addi-
ton to this number, 1884, more
people moved from farms to town
than those that moved in the other
direction. The net increase in farm
population in 1887 was, therefore,
10000 persons

URGES RUBBER TIRES
FOR FARM TRACTORS
Work Faster, Rutgers Re-
searchers Find.
By E. R. GROSS

The rubber tire constitutes one
more step in the progress of farm
machinery. 1t costs about the same
to operate tractor at part load as
at full load, and tractors on rubber
tires work faster, more economical
ly and last longer than they do on
steel, it has been determined by
tests at Rutgers university.
Farm machinery and wagons also
have lighter draft on rubber. The
rubber tire increases the effective.
ness of the machine and the opera
tor by making it possible to do more
work in less time and with less wear
and tear.
The farmer is interested in trac-
tor use because it is cheaper to feed
a tractor during the time of opera
ton than to feed horses all the time.
This is one of the reasons why trac-
tors have superseded horses to so
great an extent. Other reasons in
clude: The tractor conserves man
time; it does not need to rest at
night; it can work in extreme sum-
mer, heat; it reduces farm chores;
it requires little attention when not
working. These things the farmer
recognized and appreciated as soon
as he learned that he could place
dependence in the tractor.
The tractor is being improved
steadily. Additional operating
speeds and rubber tires are among
the important improvements made
so far. The tractor will travel fast
err with less slippage and will pull
more with less fuel on rubber tires
than on steel rims with Tugs. This
is a general statement but condi-
tons vary so much for different jobs
that one cannot reduce it to an exact
per cent of extra power and fuel or
time saved.
Rubber tires are also being used
on other farm machines and wag-
ons. They reduce draft and make
it possible to pull heavier loads with
the same power. The rubber tire
has opened new possibilities of trac-
tor loading, using the right size ma
chine, combinations of machines
and selecting proper operating
speeds. The greater use of high
gear for field operations and for
hauling on the road is now recog-
nized. So, with rubber-tired trac-
tors, farm machines and wagons,
the farmer can work faster, save
time and fuel and, at the same time,
reduce the jolting and strain on
equipment generally increasing its
life.

Navajo Bill

THE Navajoes were holding fire
dance. White men were not well
come at this important ceremonial
so there were hostile mutterings
among the young braves when they
saw a 'pale-face" looking on. Sud-
denly a young buck, his face dis
torted with a frenzy of hate, dashed
out of the circle of dancers and,
brandishing long knife, bounded
toward the white man.
But before he had time to strike,
lariat shot out from a group of
Indians near by, settled over the
young braves shoulders and jerked
him to the ground where he was
soon trussed up so tight that he
could not move. The lariat had been
thrown by the great chief, Manueli-
to, and he had thus saved the life of
his good friend, DR.. w. N. Wallace,
otherwise known as Navajo Bill"
Wallace served in an Indiana reg
iment in the Civil war, then went
west. He landed in Portland, Ore,
where he became a doctor and prac-
ticed his profession until tubercu-
losis forced him to go to Arizona.
There he became acquainted with
the Navajoes.
One day little Indian girl fell
into campfire and was badly
burned. The skill of the white
medicine man" saved her from be-
coming a cripple and from that time
on his position among the Navajoes
was secure. They adopted him into
the tribe, gave him Navajo name
and he became a close friend of the
great Manuelito. It was that friend
ship which saved his life at the fire
dance.

ADVENTUROUS
AMERICANS
80
Elmo Scott Watson
old Put

M osT Americans think Of Israel
~ Putnam as the New England
hero of two thrilling escapes. One
was during the French and Indian
war when a providential rainstorm
put out the fire which the savages
had kindled to torture him. The
other was during the Revolution
when he avoided capture by the
British by riding his horse at break
neck speed down long flight Of
stone steps. But these were only a
few of "Old Puts adventures.
During his busy life he saw ac-
ton on many fronts-from Montreal
in the north to Havana in the south
and from Boston in the east to De-
troit in the west. They began in
1855 when he served under Sir Will
ians Johnson against the French;
they continued when he enrolled in
Rogers Rangers in 1858, was cap
tured by the Indians, sent to Canada
as prisoner and freed by exchange
the next year.
Then he accompanied a British
naval expedition against Frances
allies, the Spanish, in Cuba, where
he was in the thick of the fight when
the English stormed Moro Castle.
He had hardly returned home
when Pontiacs war broke out in
1853 and he accompanied Colonel
Bradstreet on the expedition to
raise the Indian siege of Detroit
In 1772 he was a member of the
Company of Military Adventures
who visited the Lower Mississippi
and West Florida to look over lands
promised the Colonials who had
served in the French and Indian
war. Nothing came of this so Put
nam returned home in time to be-
come one of the heroes of the Battle
of Bunker HILL

Hard Corns on Fowls

Hard corns may be seen upon the
feet of many old fowls without ap-
pearing to cause the bird any in
convenience. When assesses form
through infection, however, the con-
dition may be more serious. The
commonly advised curative meas
ure, says the Rural New-Yorker, is
to open the abscess freely, flush
out the cavity with some simple dis
infectant, and place the affected
bird upon soft, clean litter. Joint
assesses may be caused by tuber-
cular infection of the joint, when
no treatment is indicated except to
get rid of the possible carrier of the
infection to healthy fowls.

The Mad Poet

TWO months before Mcdonald
L Clarke died he wrote this auto
biography: "Begotten among the or
ange groves, on the wild mountains
of Jamaica, West Indies. Born in
Bath on the Kennebec River, State
of Maine, 18th. June, 1893. LIST. Love,
Mary H. of New London; last Love,
Mary G. of New York; intermediate
sweethearts without number. No
great compliment to the greatest
Poet in America-should like the
change tho; had to pawn my Dia-
mond Ring (the gift of a LADY, and
60 tick at Delmonico's for Dinner.
So much for the greatest Poet of
America"
If that sounds bit "goofy" to
you, it's no more so than much of
the poetry he wrote. That's why he
was called "The Mad Poet" At the
beginning of the Nineteenth century
he was constantly seen on Broad
way, his blue coat and military
bearing, enhanced by his marked
profile, making him a conspicuous
and striking figure. 1t was his hob
by to fall in line with all the bellies
of the city and to commemorate
their beauties and worth in verse.
However well-meant these effusions
on the part of the poet they were
annoying. His poems helped to sup
port him, but the number of edi-
tons and present scarcity show that
he must have eked out the revenue
necessary to supply his humble
wants, by subscriptions or the char
ity of publishers and friends"
From 1890 to 1841 he issued eight
books of poems. Then the ''Mad
Poets" adventure in living came to
a tragic close on March 5, 1912. A
policeman found him on the street
in a destitute and apparently de-
mented condition and took him to
Jail for safekeeping. The next MORN
ing he was found drowned by wa.
ter from an open faucet!

THE movie moguls keep try

mothers who yearn to get their

then, every so often, up bobs
the report that another child is
being groomed for fame and
glory as screen star.
The newest member of the
group of child stars is Jacque-
line Nash. She's a tiny blonde
Canadian, nine years old, and
according to the story sent out by
her press representative, she was
recently discovered by Samuel Gold
wyn in Los Angeles tourist camp.
(How on earth Mr.. Goldwyn got

visitors from their home in Toronto,
they had had various kinds of bad
luck; they lost their car and their
money, and finally Mrs. Nash came
down with flu.
When things couldn't get any
worse they got better. Mr.. Goldwyn
discovered Jacqueline and signed
her up for the picture that Jascha
Heifetz will make for him.
Mrs. Nash has been training JAG
queline since the child was Is
months old; the youngsters voice is
said to be remarkable in range and
quality. But have you noticed that
child stars rarely get contracts just
