You might as well not bellevtcin fairies You mirfht get your P«pi t.i nlre men to watch In all the chi nney* on Christmas eve to catch Santa Claus, but even If they ll.l not aee Santa Claus coming down what would that prove? Nobody aees Santa Claus, but that it nj sign there is no Santa Claus. The most real things In the world arc those that neither men nor children can aee. Did you-ever see fairies dancing on the lawn? Of course not, but that's no proof that they are not there. Nobody mi conceive or Imagine all ths won ders that are unseen and unseeabl In the world You might tear apart ilie baby's rattle and see what makes the n ite inside, but there is a veil cover ing the unseen .world which no; the strongest man. nor even tne united strength of all the stionjcst men jthat ever lived c »uld t ir apart.

SUPPLY OF ICE OF IMPORTANCE Cost of Harvesting and Storing Not Great Compared to Comfort It Brings.

DEFINITE PLANS SHAPING SLOWLY PREBIDENT SATISFIED THE FRENCH AND BRITISH ARK IN ACCORD WITH HIM. MAKING PEACE IS FIRST TUSK Neutral Nations Will Not Come Ifito General Discussions Now Going on Among Peace Delegates. Pari*.—Definite plans tor the peace conference are not shaping as rapidly as some of the American commlaalo»- ers expected. Meanwhile President Wilson Is taking advantage of oppor tunity to assess public opinion In France and incidentally in Ore at Brit ain. Hie advisers say that he Is en tirely sat Hided that theaa peoples are largely In accord with the principles he him announced aa necessary to dur able peace. The members of the American mis sion are employing their time before countries actually assemble, in a se ries of Informal eCfcferences, which eventually will Include a representa tive of each of the entente belliger ents. Neutral states will not coins Into these discussions. Tho feeling among all the eptente conferees Is that the making of peace should be their first task, so that they may determine upon the broad outlines at a league of nations, which, later, representatives of neu tral countries will assist In com pleting. - r While tho American commission ers are holding these informal ex changes, which are designated to dear up divergencies of opinion, tho presi dent Is constantly giving the closest attention to Immediate problems. He Is receiving reports from the United States, from Amercaln diplomatic agcnoles throughout the world and from the group of Investigators brought here for the purpose of study ing the many special problems which will arrive. These Investigators are continuing their studies with the ad vantage now of being on the ground. 64,842 CASUALTIES ARE YET TO BE PUBLISHED Washington.

INCREASE GROWERS'PROFITS Animal* Utilize Top* and Pulp to Best Advantage—Manure Can Be Used to Enrich Boll—Other Feed* Are Neeeeeary. (Prepared by the United States Depart ment of Agriculture.) Sugar-beet growers should utilize more live stock. The stock utilizes by-products of sugar-beet growing— the tops and pulp—and Increases the growers' profits, but there la another reason—the nation needs more meat as well as sugar. The combination of stork raising and sugar-beet growing, while beneficial to farmers will also benefit the nation. Live stock on the sugar-beet farm constitutes an Impor tant factor In success of beet grow ing from two standpoints: (1) The utilization of beet tops and pulp to the best advantage, and (2) the pro duction of stable or barnyard manure, which can be used to enrich the soil. The feeding operations should be lo cated on the farms where the best tops are produced. When practicable, the pulp should be handled with frame and fed. There should be available labor for handling the stock, and oth er feeding stuffs used In combination with the pulp and tops should be ob tainable. Qood Feed for Btock. Sugar-beet tops nnd pulp are good feed for many kinds of live stock In cluding chickens, hogs, sheep, cattle, and, to some extent, horses. Gener ally, the tops and pulp are fedvto glipop and cattle. They may be pas tured off, a process which consists In turning the live stock Into the beet field after the beets have been har vested and the roots removed. The tops are left scattered over the ground, and this method of feeding results in the ground being more or less trampled. Sheep especially are In clined to travel more generally In paths, thereby trampling the ground unevenly. In no case should the pas turing of the tops be permitted when the ground 1» wet, since the ground Itself would be seriously injured by trampling in that condition and many of the top? would be wasted by being trampled Into the ground- While live stock thrives on beet tops and pulp, other feed must 4>e used In finishing the/anlmals for the market. Beet tops, especially the crowns, contain considerable mineral matter, which Is beneficial to live Btock, but it should not be fed in too large quantities. Aside from pasturing the tops, they are sometimes allowed to cure partly and are then gathered Into piles, hauled to the feed yard and fed In racks. This Is a much more economi cal method than pasturing, but It In volves the additional expense of gath ering nnd feaullng. The tops may also be used as «nsllage. When chopped with straw, cornstalks or other rough age excellent silage Is produced. Both the tops and the pulp ore excellent for Simple But Satisfactory Feeding Trough. dairy cows, since they act as a tonic upon the animals as well as a food, ond Increase the flow of milk. I'nlp Is either used fresh or dried. It is dried artificially, either by Itself or In combination with molasses. The ob ject In drying the pulp Is to make It easier to handle. About 80 per cent of the weight Is lost In drying. The dried pulp should be soaked for sev eral hours before It is fed to stock. Helpa Milk Flow. Animals cannot be finished for the murket on the beet by-products alone, and unless other feed Is available it will not be advisable to purchase anl miU» for feeding purposes with a view to turning them on the market later. If the farmer Is provided with dairy cows, It Is advisable to furnish them with one or two feeds of tops or pulp each day. The tops, when cured or pitted, will keep for several months; the pulp, when left In a large pile, will not spoil for feeding purposes, ex cept a thin lsyer on the surface. If the tops or the pulp sre fed heavily to dairy cows, a distinct increase In the flow of milk marks the top and pulp-feeding period, and there will generally bo a distinct falling off In the flow of milk when this feed Is dis continued. If the supply of tops snd pulp Is limited. It Is better to con tinue the feeding over a longer period, giving a smaller amount to each of the animals dally. mm TIIKIR llliTY Mrnri-i "I (>ri> 111 111 H rmlrr ■ Irr Iii rhi ng Ibe l>ul\ ul I In- klmrjh To (liter tin* bio >I ii tUr* kiclmy i tfuty.

Bawlng la Usually Done by Machine* Driven by Gasoline or Electricity; —Small Pieces Can Be Packed Closely. (Prepared by the United States Depart* ment of Agriculture.) The most common method of mak ing cordwood Is to cut the trees Into four-foot lengths with the ax and split the larger pieces. The pieces are then piled In a standard cord, which Is eight feet long, four feet high, nnd four feet wide. The contents are 128 cubic feet, of which about 70 per cent Is wood arfTl 30 per cent air. Wood cut four feet long can be sold to brick yards, lime kilns, metal working plants, and other industries, but Is too large for household use. Thla method Is used chiefly where the tree growth Is comparatively small, as In second growth, because such wood splits easily. Another method, nnd one bettei adapted for old growth hard woods, which are difficult to spilt, is to saw the tree Into logs of convenient lengths, say from 10 to 15 feet Thes« are "snaked" out to the edge of tl.« woodland nnd there sawed and spUl Wood Piled Ready for Splitting. Into lengths proper for the stove ol furnace. The sawing Is usually don* by machine, driven either by gasollm or by electricity. The wood Is plle four feet high and eight feet long irach a pile being called a "stove wood* or "running" cord or "run." Whet the wood is sawed Into 16-lnch lengths as Is customary with stove materla\ three runs are theoretically equivalent to one cord. Actually they contain somewhat more wood, since small pieces can be packed more closely thai larger ones. PLAN TO STORE VEGETABLES Economical for Those Who Qrov Them In Sufficient Quantities for Family Use. (Prepared by the United State* Depart raent ot Agriculture-) The storing of late vegetables Is at economy for those who grow them it sufficient quantity for the need* ot the family. To care for the surplus vegetable! In many cases requires nothing ..icn than the use ot existing facilities li or near the home. Often the late vegetables from l small garden may be stored with n« outlay of money. When considerable quantities o) vegetables are grown It Is frequent!) advisable to construct permanent stop age facilities in the form of a etoragt room in the basement of the dwelllni or under an outbuilding or to build at outdoor cellar of wood or masonry. If permanent facilities are not avail able late root crops can be kept Is outdoor pits or banks, requiring nt cash outlay except for labor.
