Those thumps can he heard a long way hy those whose ears are near the ground. As Peter sat near the pond of Paddy the Heaver, deep in the Green Forest, thinking over all the things which Honker the Goose had told of the " Great Woods of the Far North, and j of those who live there, he didn't for a single little minute forget to keep i his ears open. He knew that he would be safer in the dear Old F.rier Patch, but he wanted to see more of Honker and perhaps in the morninir, after a good night's rest, Honker would tell more stories. So Peter sat as still as still can be, thinking over what he had heard about Glutton the Wolverine and Flat horns the Moose, and wondering what It would be like to be able to fly like Honker the Goose. He looked up through the treetops at the twinkling stars and then over at the pond where there seemed to be stars, too. twin kling In the water. Where the Black Shadows had stretched themselves across the water he could Just see what looked like twelve blacker shad ow**. He knew that they were Honk er and his followers. "It must be great to be a leader like Honker, and have all the rest obey you,*' thought I'i'lor, who, you know, never has boon ? leader in his lift-.

NoihcriCook Book THOUGHTS ON COOKERY npll? cook who ..astes nothing but A serve: her food daintily and In an appetizing manner, is a real genius and her talents are in constant de mand. The artist cook, who really enjoys working with her food materials, en joys her color combina? ons a* well as | i;n artist who sits ln-iore his picture ] with his paleue and paint. The cook has as vast a tield to show j her :irt as does the artist. Where do we get such beautiful color material | as in fruits and vegetables? The , bloom on the peaeh and the plum, the ] red of the cherry, the apple and straw- J ber-y, as well as the radish and beet; ] the purple of the eggplant and the I greens of spinach, brocoli and chard, j make colorful pictures when arranged by an artist's hand. Another artistic quality which a | BrJt| cook possesses is the art of sea soning. The charm of a dish which I has a flavor or aroma that cannot be determined, or Is hard to define, adds ; to the pleasure of a dish. To know Just how far to go, and | when to stay the hand, is a rare abil- i it y in a cook. The clove of garlic which is Just rubbed over the fork or I spoon that mixes the salad or food combination adds that elusive some thing to the seasoning which intrigues j and charms the epicure. <(ct 1931.

Small warts may he re moved by clipping them off with ster ile scissors or tying a sterile thread tightly around the wart near th< ease.

Feeding Tost That May Be Worth Some Thought In a feeding tost carried on last win ter and spring af the Minnesota agri cultural experiment station, calves did better than either yearlings or two year-olds in being fattened for the beef market. Owing u the conditions, the fatten ing of feeders for the market through the period indicated was not a profit able farm enterprise. However, in fat tening three lots of cattle? one of two year-olds. one of yearlings, and one of calves ? \\ 11. Peters, head of the ani mal husbandry division, found that the calves gave the best returns The calves made 100 pounds of gain on a great deal less feed than either year line or two-year-old feeder steers. The foregoing Is the gist of : re j port which Mr Peters made. If is not i to he assumed, though, that tho results answer for good and all the question whether It Is better to buy. for fatten ing, two-year-olds, yearlings, or calves, j Under other conditions as to nnrket ' "margins'* a different showing might I have been made. In the tests the cattle in the three lots were fed in exactly the same way and under similar conditions The ra tion used was: Ground barley S-r> per cent, and ground oats. In per cent, for the first R-l days of feeding, after which shelled corn replaced the ground barley. Leaf Area Needed for Best Apple Production The Washington experiment station hns been conducting experiments on the relation of leaf area to fruit. It was found that twenty to thirty leaves for each fruit are necessary to produce an apple of commercial size un?!?*r con ditions in Washington state, and that forty to fifty leaves per fruit are need ed if fruit buds are wanted for the next season's crop. The maintenance of ?? vigorous growth of tree by ao available supply of nitrogen, abun dance of organic matter, and sufficient moisture will maintain a large leaf area. There have been Indications that in the East moisture is most ?*oin monly the chief limiting factor of these three last items, it is estimated that the average twenty to twenty -five-year old apple tree will carry sixty to one hundred thousand leaves, which means that the crop on such a tree should be limited to one thousand, five hun dred to twe thousand, five hundred fruits, if best commercial size and quality as well as annual crops are be obtained.
