The National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis Clvcs forcible Illustration of the way In -which a small sum spent in educa tion lias secured largo appropriations fcmu state, county, and municipal of ficials. The New York State Chart- Aid association In the three years, *I9OB. 1909, and 1910, has spent In the - ap-state portion of New York about $55,000 in arousing the people to the dangers of tuberculosis. As a direct ■ result of the public sentiment pro -j&uccd by this outlay, the state, coun ty, and municipal authorities have al ready appropriated for tuberculosis work $1,500,000 and appropriations for hundreds of thousands of dollars are pending. Hundreds of hospitals beds ttave beam provided, and tho associa tion already alms for "No Uncared-for Tuberculosis in 1915." Thus, the National association says tf $1,000,000 is realized from the sale of Red Cross seals, millions more will lie added to it from the public treas uries. Last year 25,000,000 stamps were sold. It Is aimed to sell four times as many this year. Easy for Her. An extremely corpulent old lady was entertaining her grandchild at lunch eon when she found occasion to repri mand the little girl for dropping some food on the tablecloth. "You don't see grandma dropping anything on the table,” she said. “Of course not,” replied the child; “God gave you something la front to atop It.” A business firm advertises a shirt without buttons. That's no novelty. Many a bachelor has worn them for years. When It’s What for Breakfast?” Try Post Toasties Serve with cream or milk and every member of the family will say “rip ping" good.

Ohio Farmer Gives Interesting De scription of Building Constructed Several Years Ago—Gasoline Engine Valuable Adjunct. The granary on our farm was built In 1875, and we have found it both practical and convenient, writes Lon Hurst of Ohio, In Rural New Yorker, it is a timber frame, 20 by 30 feet, with 16-foot posts and sets up from the ground about two feet The girths are 4 by 4 inch oak scantling the Joist \ by 8 inch gained two inches in the beams, leaving four Inches above, which comes even with the top of the girths; In this way there Is no chance "Sfffe 3 % Plan of a Grain Chute. for the floor to sag at the ends —it makes a perfectly tight Joint. The siding Is one foot whitewood boards; the entire height of the ends is bat tened, but only the upper half of the sides; the lower half Is sawed to make about four-inch siding, thus leaving an air space for the corn which is on the first floor. At one end 1b a double doorway, seven feet. The second floor is used entirely for small grain. There are 11 bins, six on one side, five on tho other, each being 4% by 4*£ feet, 6V4 feet high, and holding about 100 bushels. The larger part of the floor can also be used for gratn. and there Is a grain chute In the center. At one end Is an elevator raised and low ered by means of a windlass. It ia simply a section of flooring with a rope attached at each corner; these in turn are attached to two ropes which pass over the windlass. This Is rath er tedious, and most of the grain la carried up the stairs, which are in one corner. There Is a landing part way up, the stairs are wide and the incline easy of ascent, so this method is not so bad, yet a great convenience; In'fact this Is about the only feature of the building In which we would care to make a change. This floor Is well lighted by two good-sized win dows, one at each end. The grain chutes to the first floor can perhaps be better understood by the diagram, A, detachable portion; B, curved end of Iron which hooks into staple and holds A in place; C, piece of board to prevent grain from leaking out at the sides; D, lever moved by means of a stick, to open slide E, which moves ou points F and II; K nailed to Joist; hooks at the bottom of A, on which to hang grain bags. When cleaning over grain, in stead of the wooden chute, I have can vas ones which can be twisted In any direction to reach the top of the fan ning mill. There are on the first floor two corn bins, four feet wide, one running the entire side, the other not quite as long, as some of the stair space comes oui of it. Beside the fanning above mentioned is a feed mill, run by a gas oline engine, of which I will speak later. I have a small box holding 10 or 12 bushels; this being on rollers' ean.be moved about, so it is not neces sary to draw from the bln every time the stock is fed. There is also a large box holding about 25 bushels for ground feed. When loading and un loading grain from the wagon, we use a scoop-board 20 inches by 4% feet; this makes a bridge wide enough for the grain-barrow, and thus facilitates unloading. The five horsepower gaso line engine we have had two years, and it Is certainly a valuable adjunct to the farm. We use It for buzzing wood, but it was principally for shell ing corn and grinding fed that I pur chased it. Before that we used a pow er requiring two teams and two men to drive them, though a good driver could manage both. We have a sta tionary iron roof for it, and sides and ends which can be taken off, thus pro tecting the machinery from storms. The picture also shows the construc tion of the steps into the granary.

The person who buys a nickel's worth of peanuts to urautti at the ball game, to feed'to the squirrels in the park, or to gladden the hearts of the kiddies at home, scarcely realizes that he has contributed to an industry that last year farmed' a $1,000,000 crop, which, placed on the market In vari ous forms, reached the enormous sum of $36,000,000. But it is a fact! This little seductive’ nut —a resolu tion to “eat Just one” is soon forgot ten —whose birthplace is America, was, until comparatively recently, un-’ appreciated, either as to the “money, in it” or as a really nutritious product Today the peanut plays an-important part In pleasure, from the swell dinner party to the ever-present democracy of the circus, ball game or picnic. By far the largest part of the crop Is consumed from the peanut stand, yet there are millions of bushels that go to the fattening of hogs throughout the south and the feeding of poultry, while the vines, often cured as hay, feed thousands of head of cattle and even old mother earth is nourished by the roots of the plant, which fur nishes nitrogen from the air. The result of all this Is, that scien tists claim that the peauut, which In the past was not very highly regard ed, is the only food staple that will at once nourish man, beast, bird and field. It la the most nutritious of the whole nut family, rich in tissue build ing properties, containing glucose and carbohydrates—and is the cheapest. Beyond the shadow of a doubt it Is first from both a dietary and economlo standpoint The fact of tho matter is, the pea nut Is about every way in a class by Itself as regards price, average num ber In pounds, edible part, waste and fat. Peanuts average about three hun dred and fifty to pound, at a cost of ten cents; the edible portion Is 73.6, waste 26.4, and the amount of fat Is placed at 80 per cent, of the edible portion. ONE METHOD OF FILLING BAG One Person Can Accomplish THck by Following Out Plan as Shown In Illustration. It very often happens that one wishes to fill sacks with small grain, apples, potatoes, etc., but has no one to help hold the bag An excellent method of doing this Is to procure an old wooden or metal bucket and knock out the bottom, says a writer In Popu- Bucket Without Bottom. lar Mechanics. If It Is a metal bucket, file the edges smooth to prevent Its tearing the bag. Set the bucket In the mouth of the bag as shown in the illus tration and you will have no trouble In filling It. The way one keeps hls fowls Is gen erally the way the fowls keep hirh. The day of crossing breeds is a thing of the past. We now have utility pure breds. Work up a strain of hens that will lay. Save the eggs from the best lay ers, and set them. It is generally true that short legged fowls fatten a great deal more quickly than long legged ones. It Is easier to keep fowls in good condition than to allow them to run down and then build up again. The fowls that are 6mall for their age should go now. Their room Is of more value than their company. Never change to a new breed simply because extravagant claims are given. It Is better to try to improve the old ones. No one can consistently be a fancier and a marketinan at the same time. The branches are antagonistic to each other. Hens dread to get into dirty nest boxes. They won’t do it if they can help it. Why don’t you see to this, right off? Nest eggs are not needed to induce hens to lay. They have no influence whatever over the hens, and have been discarded on most farms. Success in poultry raising is to be had on a large scale by the exercise of the greatest care. It means hard work, and that most of the time. The experienced poußryman breeds only from his best winter layers. It Is then when prices are at their best, and profits are to be counted upon in the poultry business. Houses for Hogs. Build good hog houses before bad weathdr sets in. Houses in the end are cheaper than feed at present prices, ,and hogs will not do their best when compelled to sleep out of doors in bad weather. A good feeding floor pays well. Enough feed is wasted on the average farm by throwing It into the mud and slush to help pay the ad- I ditional expense of housing. PlOiLCwm I P WILBUR D NEJWTI "The melancholy days have come”—’tla well that he who penned The poem which begins that way long aince came to hls end. The melancholy days, forsooth! The ap ples In the bln. The grapes that are so full of Juice It nearly bursts their skin, ..The pawpaws growing greenish-brown and fat as butter-balls. The black-haw plumping till at last from sheer delight It falls! “The melancholy days?” O, sniff the ambient atmosphere And get the scent the Jocund breeze Is wafting to us here— The pungent spiciness and tang that woos belated bees And tells us that somewhere today be- , heath the orchard trees A copper kettle bubbles full of apple but- . ter! Say! What kind of man could say this is a melancholy day? O. let us weep because the gorgeous j pumpkin waxes fat! There Is a world of sadness In the very thought of that. Full soon we'll bring the pumpkin In and cut It Into dice And put It on the stove and boll It maybe once or twice, Then later on we’ll sit about the groaning board and sigh Because we lack capacity to eat the whole big pie! How sad It Is to contemplate the chang ing of the year. To see the leaves upon the trees grow | shrlvelly and sere! How gloomy Just to sit and think -of turkeys getting big— How can some people nowadays be merry as a grig? O, it fills one’ soul with woe and gets upon hls nerves To think of all the shelves that now are full of good preserves! "The melancholy days have come"—O, see these bitter tears! Tlie Joyous hour for mincemeat pie with every moment nears. O, let the wintry blizzards blow, and fetch your killing frost. But bring the mincemeat season and tho world Is not yet lost. The melancholy days are near—But, brother, can't you guess The nectar of the gods Is dripping from the cider press! Music. The late Mr. Shakespeare said some severe things about the man who has no music in his soul and Is not moved by concord of sweet sounds. In hls day and time Mr. Shakespeare was doubtless right. Mr. Shakespeare never heard a campaign band. No bannered wagons filled with tuba and cornet players ever rolled through the streets of Mr. Shakespeare’s town, playing by rule j of thumb while the banners exhorted the terrified hearers to vote for the people’s friend. Mr. Shakespeare never heard Gladys Montmorency play the piano after she had spent a year away from home at a finishing school and had failed to get her finish. If Shakespeare had heard Gladys play and had realized that so far all she had gleaned from the field of har mony was the art of crossing her hands while rendering Old Black Joe with variations he might have writ ten a revision of his verdict. Music hath charms to soothe the savage breast, perhaps, but there are times when it occasions the savagery ; in the breast. Another Indictment against music is that so often attempts are made to combine It with verses ending "And then to hls old mother he did say,” thus combining the two In a popular song of the day. Sensational to the Extreme. "Yes, I'm going to start a new mag azine,” says the man with the fat purse, “but there won't be the least bit of sensationalism about it. It will be utterly different from all others.” "What’s your program?” asks the man with Inked fingers. "Not going to expose anything, not going to—” “Huh! Right there you've outlined one of the most sensational plans for modern magazines I ever heard.” Love Me, Love My Dog. "Here comes that German count. I wonder if he will propose again, or If he has been discouraged by my hold ing him off so long. How happy he will be, If he does propose, to find that the only reason for my hesitancy was that 1 had to have time to teach dear little Fido to say ‘Yah.’ ” WHAT HE CONSIDERED FAIR Mr. Olsen's Offer Must Have Come as Surprise Even to Persuasive Claim Agent Up in Minnesota Mr. Olsen ,had a cow killed by a railroad train. In due season the claim agent for the railroad called: “We understand, of course, that the deceased was a very docile and valu able animal," said the claim agent in his most persuasive claim-agenUeman ly manner, "and we sympathize with you and your family in your loss. But, Mr. Olsen, you must remember this: Your cow had no business being upon our tracks. Those tracks are our pri vate property and when she invaded them she became a trespasser. Tech ically speaking, you, as her owner, became a trespasser also. But we have no desire to carry the issue into court, and. possibly give you trouble. Now, then, what would you regard as a fair settlement between you and the railroad company?" “Vail,” said Mr. Olsen slowly, “Ay baen poor Swede farmer, but Ay shall give you two-dollars.”—Everybody’s.
