nMdwimt- ^ age Experience of Many Owners of StockJS'V kj '«>• United StatM Da of Agriculture.) A report just Issued by the United |8tates Department of Agriculture on ithe progress of tbe better sires, better •stock campaign for tbe lmprovemnt of |domestic animals states briefly why fpure bred animals excel other kinds. Information is based on the averjage experience of hundreds of stock f aowaers have been in a position to _|make comparisons. It thus points to t the results which other farmers who v: :.; ar® considering the Improvement of »^sv.^e'r "ve stoc^ may expect from pure •inbred sires and also from the combined * .„iU8e of Pure bred sires snd pure bred r - |Kiaiaa. :|:^i Summary of Points. ®'oItow,nS !• » summary of the ^Jpoims iu wbich pure breds excel: Based on utility alone, pure bred live stock has an earning power froffi a third to tme-haif greater than scrub stock. Pure breds excel other stock Superiority and uniformity ID con- Formation and type, greater sale value, early maturity, and economy In the onverslon of feed into meat, milk, -wool and work. v Surplus pure breds are salable at atlsfactory prices in a majority. of ases. The progeny of pure bred sires has practically a 90 per cent greater sale value than the progeny of sires not pure bred. Better breeding, combined with proper and adequate feed, practically prevents runty live stock, of which the average farm has about 7 per cent. Well bred beef cattle, sheep, and Siwlne yield from 5 to 10 per cent more neat than inferior animals of the same ive weight, and the meat is of better "quality. Improved live stock makes about 40 per cent more profitable use of feed "than common stock. Pure breds excel grades, and grades excel scrubs. The use of pure bred sires leads to the ownership and use of fully six limes "as many pure bred female ani- Polnts of Pure Breds. The foregoing brief conclusions ire leased on thorough analyses of large .^lumbers of reports. The movement •ftor better live stock which the department is conducting, in co-operation with the various states, has resulted in a gradually Increasing recognition of the many points in which well bred animals are superior to ordinary livestock. The study and control of animal breeding are among tbe most important and practical means of making live stock enterprises more profitable to farmers and also of improving the quality of meats. Mineral Supplemen Subject of a Bulletin "Mineral elements are not to be regarded as medicines to be fed In doses, but as foods to be supplied dally." says L. S. Palmer of the Minnesota agricultural experiment station In special bulletin No. 94 entitled "Minerals for Farm Animals." Five mineral elements are ever likely to be lacking in farm rations--sodium. chlorine, Iodine, phosphorus and calcium. Common salt supplies the first two. Iodine can be supplied by feeding sodium or potassium iodide, or as sea salt from which the iodine has not beeh removed by refining, or as commercially Iodized common salt. For phosphorus and calcium deficiency the mineral supplements must be bonemeal, spent bone black, or raw rock phosphate floats. Spent bone black Is not a uniform product; only that which has been used by the sugar refineries should be fed. Fertilizer booemeal i* not recommended. Root Crops for Poultry Reduce Feed Expenses By feeding more roots and vegetables the average poultry raiser can reduce his feeding expenses very much and also Increase the egg yield. The cheapest feed Is that which will make hens lay and the way to make hens lay is to keep them in good health. It is quite impossible to have the flock In good laying condition when only grain Is given. Such foods as carrots, turnips snd potatoes are not rich In egg-producing elements. Yet they perform a service which renders all the other foods used considerably more valuable. Let the farmer or dairyman give his cows nothing but corn and his supply of milk would soon*he reduced. It Is the same with hens* and the egg yield as well. From a standpoint of dietary principles the use of roots Is recommended and this will enable one to feed more hens and get a greater egg yield with little or no extra cost. LATE GOVERNMENT BULLETIN ON PROPER CARE OF WOODLANDS 4£nowledge of Forestry Is Profitable in Farming. (Prepared hp th« United StatM OiputaMt •f Agriculture.) "A knowledge of farm forestry, applied along simple lines, should mak^ farming more profitable," according to the bulletin "Forestry Lessons on Home Woodlands," Just revised by the United StateE Department of Agriculture for general distribution. The bulletin gives the farm t7O0dland a distinctive place in the man* agement of the farm and In tbe development of tbe community. Tbe various chapters take up tbe Important local kinds of trees and their uses, the proper location of woodlands on farms, their economic value, the different farm timber products, measuring and marketing timber, utilizing timber correctly, protecting snd improving woodlands, snd planting young timber. v This bulletin has been prepared to (Ive to the organised school work In elementary and secondary agriculture additional impetus in forestry. It provides material for instruction and furbishes a topic for home projects In -^forestry that may be worked out profitably in many communities. The bulletin contains subject matter material and a plan of study which Bbouid be s-?.- Poll|nation of Cherry v in, Northw«st Sections Studies of sweet cherry pollination An the Northwest have revealed that 0ome of the best varieties, such as Blng. Lambert and Napoleon, are not •nly self-sterile but are Inter^sterlle with each other. Two of the beat varieties with wbich to pollinate the above are Long Stem Waterhouse and Black Tartarian. C. L. Long of Oregon and Mr. D. Armstrong of Washington are demonstrating the top forking of some of the commercial plantings to these pollen-producing varieties. H. B.

Trees have been misrepresented by unscrupulous fruit-tree peddlers who hud no other interest than to dispose of a bunch of cull trees. Considerable misinformation as to how trees should be grown Is current. First-grade nursery trees suitable for average planting will consist of well-grown trees of sufficient size for their age, free from disease and Insect pests. Trees which are considerably undersized or extremely oversized should be rejected. Gnarly, misshapen stock seldom develops into satisfactory trees. These are varieties of apples, peaches, cherries, plums and grapes recommended by the Kansas State Agricultural college for planting an acre orchard: Apple--One Livlfand Raspberry, one Oldenburg or Yellow Transparent, five Jonathan, five Grimes Golden, four Delicious, four Wlnesap, four Champion or York Imperial, four Stayman Wlnesap. Peach--Two Belle of Georgia, two Champion, two Eleberta. Cherry--Three Early Richmond, eight Montmorency. Plum--Two Wild Godie, two Abundance or Burba nk. Grape Six Moore Early, six Coocord or three Worden and three Concord, six Niagara, six Catawba or Delaware or Brighton.

He believes that "English is undoubtedly the greatest language of all ages for ease of expression and shades of meaning," and thinks that "the English-speaking races of today number nearly 200,000,- 000 people." This la about 12 per cent of the population of. the earth, but Doctor Vlzetelly expects the percentage to double In 75 years, according to the New York Sun. Languages can be measured In Importance by their usefulness as means of communication and by their contributions to world culture. English has quite evidently become the most important of all languages from the purely practical standpoint. No other tongue is used so extensively Is trade or even in governmental and social relationships. It Is estimated that 120,- 000,000 people 8peak German. 90,000,- 000 Russian. 00,000,000 French and 55.- 000,000 Spanish. Despite the great population of China and India neither of these countries has a single language spoken by as many people as speak English. India has 147 languages. Chinese dialects are Innumerable. Altogether only 220.000,000 Indians apeak languages of the Indo- Aryan branch, and there are three of these. Mandarin represents a means of communication almost everywhere in China, but It probably has not the actual currency that English has. The tpngue that only 20.000.000 people •poke In 1800 Is undoubtedly dominant among languages today so far as extent of use and variety of usefulness are concerned. English has also steadily shaped itself into an effective medium for accuracy and beauty of expression. It has been Jeered at as a heterogeneous language and it has been criticized for the "weakness" of turning to Latin and Greek for new terms. Lovers ol the romance languages find It lacking in elegance. Its grammatical Irregularity has been noted. Still. English has produced poetry, drama and fiction that are now world Inheritances. Its poetry especially challenges comparison In fineness and body with that of any language. Meanwhile, as the power of the nations using English ha« grown, the serviceability and dignity of the tongue as an instrument ol diplomatic, scientific and critical ot philosophical use has been more genentilyacknowledged.

Good for the Circulation CortlAndt Bleecker said at the annual Parrot ball at the Rltz-Carlton in New York: "The new fashions are transparent. Well, we're used to that. But have you remarked--I know you have, of course --the return of the slashed skirt? Th« short, very tight skirt with a long slash at the left side has returned, and It's--well. It's a revelation. "A grand dame, got up In transparent blouse and slashed skirt and all the rest of It, stopped at my table In a restaurant the other day at luncheon time and laughed and said: f " 'I love these new fashions.

This was arranged for, but » deluge of letters came from American women willing to pass their lives in the Northwest. "Vilna bachelors," said a dispatch from Vilna, Alberta, Canada, "will not need to search England and Ireland for brides. More than 100 letters have been received by the secretary of the Vilna Citizens' league from lonely maids in Canada and the United States, asking particulars about the C3 bachelor farmers of this district and giving encouragement to the most bashful to propose at once." Th<? greater part of the writers hall from Toronto and other Ontario ports. Montana and British Columbia also are well represented. Chicago and New York furnished about a score each. So appointment of the overseas envoy was canceled at the last meeting of the league, and a scheme of advertising for Canadian and American girls adopted. Chair Decapitates Driver of Auto in Wagon Crash ^ew York.--In one of the most unusual automobile accidents ever recorded, William Puree!

William Price, The driver, had been sitting on a chair In the wagon. Hurled through the windshield, the chair struck Purcell in the neck and nearly tore his head from his shoulders. He died on the way to Flushing hospftal. - ? Corned Beef Heroes^1 in American History Corned beef and cabbage was responsible for the Titan race of New Englanders that dominated art, commerce and literature until it was discovered tha: blond Nordics were, after all, very inferior and that the real vintage manhood came from southern Italy and Ukralnla. Then they sort of faded away. In the old days, snd It Is perhaps so now, you took a piece of case-hardened beef from the most durable part of the ox. You soaked it over the winter in salt brine This destroyed the Haste and perfected the vulcanizing. Then you took the big Ivan pot off the hook in the woodshed, filled It half full of water, and put In the meat. You also put ,ln potatoes, carrots, a cabbage, onions, turnips, rutabagas, or what have you, and set the pot on the back of the stove and went on about your business. When It was dinner time, you took the pot into the depth of the back yard and poured out the water. Then you ran back, because that water, if approached too Intimately, would destroy one's taste for any kind of dinner. Then you served the remaining material on one big dish. The corned beef tasted like carrots; the potatoes tasted like cabbage; they all tasted like onions, if you have ever eaten It you will get the general Idee. The path breakers, the empire builders, that passed westward along the Oneida trail and the Mohawk valley In the forties, were corned beef and cabbage- eating Americans. They went to Ohio and grew up and became presidents, Just as others stayed In Boston and ate cod, and still others went to Vermont and perfected the savory fireharvest of the succulent bean. These comestibles are food for heroes and prophets. They are the Just and proper stimulants for dwellers on "a stern and rock-bound coast." Roger Williams, and Old Trapper Blackstone, and Betsy Stark and Col. Iwy Putnam ate them. "Don't give up the ship," cried Lawrence In the thick of battle. Certainly not. They hadn't any cabbage, but the hold was full of corned beef. There Is still a lot of corned beef In our national institutions, and well It is for us.--F. M. K., In McNaugbt's Monthly, ' ingenious Machines At a recent German motor show there was exhibited a tank-plow. A caterpillar tractor working like an army tank drew a plow. An automatic potato digger has been designed that the Inventor says will prove a wonderful labor-saving machine on the farm. It not only digs up the potatoes, but discharges them la windrows for pickers. Looking like a huge mosquito, a new machine Is cald to be able to bore a hole three feet deep and nine Inches In diameter In half a minute. The machine looks like a small engine 6n four wheels, and carries a huge corkscrewlike drill in front of it at the end of two braces. A pull on a lever Is sufficient to start the drill downward. Another pull stops It at the desired depth and brings it back to the starting point. The inventor built his original model from 23 pieces of farm machinery. 1 1 I I I I I « 11 I I I I 11 I 1111 I 1 ; Miracle Is Seen in Recovery of Cripple Lowell, Mass.--The miracle < i of the Sacred Heart was seen in [ [ the recovery of Miss Alma A. •» Gellneau, sixteen years old, tor ] | Overyears a cripple. «• Mrs. Caesar Gellneau of Low- ' [ ell was bathing her daughter • • when she noticed a flame-colored ! spot on the little Invalid's foot. • • As fte mother watched the ! spot spread, It became the size "' of a half-dollar.

Kansas City, Mo.--"Doctor Klnsey* never will go home to the family that somewhere has been waitftig anxiously for six years for his return. The General hospital patient, who for six years has been Kansas City's "man of mystery," was buriej, carrying with him to the grave tbe secret of his life and name. Since the night of May 7, 1919, Kansas City has puzzled over tbe identity of "Doctor Kinsey." That night, the General hospital ambulance received a call to a Salvation Army station in the slum district of the city. An elderly man In evening clothes, including high silk hat, who was immaculately groomed, staggered into the. station in a dazed condition. At first he was thought to be intoxicated, but at the hospital, shortly after he regained consciousness, he suffered a paralytic stroke. In his few moments of consciousness -he told his nurse that his name was "Doctor Klnsey." He mumbled repeatedly about "going home," and then lapsed into silence. The paralytic stroke left him speechless aa well as helpless. He never even seemed to regain his reason. Related efforts to communicate with him failed^ ?; ,, Tommy, 13, Robbed, Turns Sleuth, Gets Man New York.--Tommy Reld is thirteen years old and he's never had much spending money, because whatever he earned selling papers was needed for the support of his widowed mother. But now and then he blew himself to a motion-picture show, and there he learned the motto of the Northwest mounted police--"Get your man." As a result Philip Husten, thirtythree years old. Brooklyn, began serving an indeterminate sentence in the penitentiary. When his father died Tommy began selling papers at Thirty-fourth street and Broadway. The pennies went to Help his mother. Two years ago a man asked Tommy If he would like to earn $5. Tommy's capital at that time was $4. and he eagerly accepted It. The stranger told him to go to an address a few blocks away and collect $72. To "guarantee" Tommy's -return, the man had the newsboy leave the $4 with him. Of couse, when Tommy reached the place where he was to collect the money there was no money to be collected. And, of course, when Tommy got back to his stand the stranger had departed. (Tommy spotted him peddling candy In Fourteenth street. Tommy sought a policeman. Husten was arrested and the records showed he had been convicted on the same charge before. 21,000 Acres Added to While Mountain Forest Washington. -- Addition of 21,000 acres to the White Mountain National forest in New Hampshire was announced by the National Forest Reservation commission. The purchase Increased that government-owned area within the forest to 462,200 acres, representing an investment of $3,370,000. By later acquisitions it is planned to •kpand the forest to 960.000 acres. Purchase of the 21,000 acres added to the government timber reserve, 88,- 000,000 feet of softwood and more than 35,000,000 feet of hardwood, and the area is expected to produce annually 7,000 cords of softwood and 2,000,000 feet of hardwood. The total stand of timber in the forest is estimated to be nearly one billion board feet of merchantable stock, of which more than half is softwood suitable for making print paper.
