Left the Squire Thinking.
A well-known Hampshire squire, not
ed for his shabby coats, was one clay
leaning over a gate which commanded
a . good view of his broad acres.
A well-pleased smile was on his lips
when he was startled by the sound of
a wheedling voice near him.
"Gie us a hand, old chap, to help
my poor old donkey up the hill."
The squire 'turned, and, with the
smile deepening in his face, pushed the
little cart behind with so hearty a
good will that the coster exclaimed
with admiration:
"Well, I'm darned if you ain't a
good old sport. I say," he went on In
a whisper, Tve knocked over two or
three of the squire's rabbits, and I'm
darned if you shan't have one."
Whereupon, with a great appear
ance of secrecy, he pulled out a fat
young'rabbit from under a sack in the
cart, and trotted away, leaving the be
wildered squire with one of his own
rabbits dangling from his hands. Lon

Ultimatum.
For somo moments we stand on the
corner, waiting until the street cross
ing shall be passable.
The long, low, rakish vehicle contin
ues to roll by.
Casting our eyes down the street
along its length we mutter:
"What a nuisance these 200-cyl!nder
cars are! I'll either have to own one
myself or transact all my business on
this side of the street."
We all love bargains, but we'd hard
ly respect a man who'd let us cheat

QUARTERS FOR DAIRY CAU
To Prevent Bumping and Jostli
Young Animals Small Pens!
Should Be Provided.
(rrepared by the United States D
merit of Agriculture.)
Small calves should not be brJ
and jostled about. An easy w
prevent this is to provide small
not less than four by six. feet ii
ii each of which a calf may bi
for tiie first two weeks. Thd
should be fitted with feed boxJ
grain and racks for hay. Afte
calf is old enough to run with
others it is placed with them
larger pen. Stanchions are fixed
one side of this pen to provide for me
separate feeding Of the calves, so as
to insure that each receives its proper
care. Racks for hay should also be
placed within easy reach of the calves.
Too much emphasis cannot be laid
upon the necessity of having light, dry
quarters for the calves. Bedding al
ways should be abundant and should
be changed often, in order that the
pen always may be dry. Lack of at
tention to these matters is very likely
to allow the development of the vari
ous calf diseases. '
After the calf is a few weeks old, it
can stand" considerable cold if it Is
kept dry and has dry quarters. Pro
vision also should be made to allow
the calves plenty of exercise. A small
paddock or pasture adjoining the' calf
stables is excellent for this purpose.
Except for the very young ones, calves
may be let out in the exercise lot for
a short period each day when the
weather is not too cold or stormy.
If the calves are kept together in
a large pen it is very difficult to feed
them by hand unless they are tied.
When they are loose the milk often is
spilled, and the larger calves get
part of the smaller ones' share. Very
6imple stanchions may be constructed
to prevent losses of milk and insure
the equal distribution of the feed. To
prevent the calves from sucking one
another they should be kept in the
stanchions for some time after feeding.
A calf stanchion may be constructed
of cheap or scrap lumber. It is usu
ally 3G to 40 inches high and has a
four-inch space for the calf's head.
SANITARY SHED FOR MILKING
I Cows Should Be Kept Clean and Ud
ders Wiped With Damp Cloth
to Keep Out Dirt.
The cows should be kept clean and
milked in a place free from dust. If
the udders of the cows are wiped with
a damp cloth it will prevent dirt, dan
druff and hair from falling into the
milk with their millions of bacteria. A
covered or small-top milk pail should
alwavs be used In milking. It keeps
out more than half of the germs.
COWS RESPOND TO FEEDING
Even Poor Animal Will Increase in
Production If She Is Given
Proper Treatment.
A good cow will respond to good
treatment and even a poor cow will in
crease in production if she is properly
handled. 1
With liberal feeding liberal returns
cannot be obtained. A heavy produc
ing cow cannot do her best work un
less she is well fed.
TEMPERATURE FOR CHURNING
Usually From 52 to 60 Degrees Fahr.

58 to 65 in Winter.
The churning temperature should
oe such that (1) the churning will re
inlre from thirty to forty minutes, and
(2) the butter granules will be firm
without being hard usually from u2

SUGAR NEEDED TO HELP WAR
Present Stock of Honey Could Be In
creased 10 to 20 Times Without
Appreciable Increase in
Cost Per Pound.
More honey is needed to help the
sugar supply and needed in 1918. It
is imperative, using the language of
officials of the United States depart
ment of agriculture in a recent publi
cation, that we increase not only the
sugar crop In the United States, but
every possible supply of sweets, and
honey is one of the supplemental
sweets the supply of which can be en
larged without great effort. Not only
should those who already keep bees
enlarge the number of their colonies,
but the industry should also be extend
ed, say federal officials, to localities
where beekeeping has not been tried
on a commercial scale. It is important
that efforts be made to make the honey
increase immediate more honey this
year.
Provides Nutritious Food.
It is quite possibly for the Ameri
can beekeeping Industry to be devel-'
oped so that the honey crop will be ten
times what it is at present. Not only
would such a development be valuable
in an emergency, such as the present
crisis, but in normal times, to which
all hope the nation may speedily re
turn, the beekeeping Industry can pro
vide a concentrated nutritious food,
almost universally liked and assuredly
an article of diet preferable to the in
ferior sirups and jams so commonly
used. The beekeeping industry may be
the means of conserving a national re
source now largely wasted, changing
it into nature's own sweet. The raw
material is free on every hand ; the in
vestment for equipment is small in
comparison with other branches of
agriculture; the profits are fully com
nu nsurate with the study and labor in
volved. It would seem profitable to
stop such a waste of so desirable a
supply of sugar. This' waste can be
prevented only by the education of bee
keepers. In selecting a place for commercial
beekeeping, attention should be paid to
the regions best adapted to the in
dustry, and it should also be remem
bered that not all localities within a
main region are equally valuable. The
chief honey regions of the United
States are (1) the white clover region
of the Northeast, (2) the southeastern
region, west to eastern Texas, with a
wide variety of nectar sources ; (3) the
alfalfa region of the West; (4) the
mountain-sage region of southern Cali
fornia, and (5) the semiarid region of
Texas and adjacent states. In all of
these, regions commercial beekeeping
is practiced extensively and in all of
them, too, there Is room for a great
expansion of the Industry as a com
mercial enterprise. In addition to
these larger regions many more re
stricted areas offer special induce
ments to the beekeeper. ,
Not Always Profitable.
But even where colonies of bees are
sufficiently numerous and where nectar
Is freely secreted, beekeeping Is not al
ways considered profitable. This re
sults from the nature of the Industry.
A colony of bees does not always
gather sufficient honey for Its own use
and also enough so that the beekeeper
can take honey for himself. It Is only
when bees are properly handled that
they yield to the beekeeper the fullest
return, and to an unusual degree bee
keeping is profitable to just the extent
-m which the beekeeper applies lntelli-
:nt care.
Success in beekeeping depends upon
lie beekeeper's skill in two linos of ef-
f,rt keeping -he colonies strong by
i--per care in winter and keeping the
olonies from swarming. The failure
i tn'ce proper care of bees In winter is
: m&Kia&xtfvfS .Ju V. .. ...... V .1
Colony Do Its Best This Year.
a source of the greatest loss now ex
perienced by beekeepers, and this ap
plies to almost' all parts of the United
States ; yet it is a simple matter to pro
tect the bees In the hives one which
will put more dollars in the farmer's
pockets and more bees In his hives.
The essentials to the greatest success
with bees are discussed In numerous
textbooks and bulletins published by
the state agricultural colleges and the
United States department of agricul
ture. HONEY'S CHANCE TO HELP
INCREASE SUGAR SUPPLY.
The average annual honey
crop "of the United States is
about 250,000,000 pounds and Is
sufficient to supply each man,
woman and child with about 24
pounds a year, which Is equiva
lent to 3 per cent of the amount
of sugar they consume in nor
mal time. Thus there is ample
room for expansion of both the
production and consumption.
The present use of honey in the
home usually is as a substitute
for jellies, jams and sirup. It is
little used In domestic cooking
or baking, but this use should be
Increased. While honey within
recent years has sold at prices
sufficiently low to justify Its
use as a substitute for sugar, It
is rarely used in commercial
food manufacturing except in
the making of certain cakes
which must be kept moist for a
considerable time. Usually,
however, the supply of honey is
so Inadequate that most of the
crop can be used as a spread for
bread. With the use limited as
it is, many people in the United
States rarely eat honey, but It Is
evident that there might be de
veloped a ready sa!e for honey
as a supplement to sugar, if pro
duction were increased many
times.
4 Starting With Bees.
The best place to buy bees is near
home. There are hundreds of colonies;
in almost every county which are un
productive and which might better
change hands, bee specialists of the
United States department of agricul
ture believe. If the prospective bee
keeper does not know where these are,
a small advertisement in a local paper
will often locate them. If colonies can
not be found near by they can , be
bought of dealers in bees who adver
tise in the bee journals.
The best hive for ail parts of the
country is the 10-frame Langstroth,
which is the American standard. If
possible buy bees already established
in these hives but if only other hives
are available the bees can later be
transferred to the desired hive.
An advantage in buying bees locally
is that the bees are usually delivered
by their former owner. If it is nec
essary for the beginner to go for the
bees the hive should be securely closed
with wire cloth just before dark when
the bees are all in the hive, plenty of
ventilation being provided. Usually
the hive cover Is removed and the top
of the hive covered with wire cloth.
Look to 1919 Seed Now.
To be prepared for a possible scar
city of seed next year, growers of root
crops of all kinds would do well to
take steps to Insure at least a partial
supply by growing seed themselves,
specialists of the United States de
partment of agriculture advise. This
can be done only by the use of roots
already grown and now In the ground
or held In storage. Such crops as car
rots, beets, onions, turnips, rutabagas,
parsnips and salsify are Involved,
owing to unfavorable weather condi
tions so far this year In regions where
the chief seed supply of these crops
Is produced. This fact, together with
the uncertainty of the usual European
sources, which cannot be relied upon
to supply us, threatens a" very consid
erable shortage for next year's plant
ing. Since it takes two years to pro
duce these seeds;' this shortage can
only be alleviated by the planting for
seed of roots already grown. Farmers'
Bulletin 884 gives directions for the
home production of seed of those crops
mentioned and other vegetables.

Red-blooded men of courage are on
the firing line and there are many
anemic, weak, discoraraged men and
women left at home.
At this time of the year most people
suffer from a condition often called
Spring Fever. They feel tired, worn
out, before the day is half thru. They
may have frequent headaches and
sometimes "pimply" or pale skin.
Bloodless people, thin, anemic peo
ple, those with pale cheeks and lips,
who have a poor appetite and feel that
tired, worn or feverish condition in the
springtime of the year, should try the
refreshing torflc powers of a good al
terative and blood purifier. Such a one
is extracted from. Blood root, Golden
Seal and Stone root, Queen's root and
Oregon Grape root, made op with
chemically pure glycerine and without
the use of alcohol'. This can be ob
tained in ready-to-use tablet form in
sixty-cent vials, as- druggists have sold
it for fifty years as Doctor Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery. It is a. 'S
standard remedy that can be obtained
In tablet or liquid form.
A good purge shonld be taken once
a week even by persons who- have a

tice health measures. There is nothing
so good for this purpose as tiny pills
