An interesting new-old note Is the
return of cut steel to favor in the field

We are more or less accustomed fo

resurrection of cut steel ornaments
for shoes and evening slippers we are
being introduced to its use in ear

bracelets, of considerable width and

The fashion of cut steel is a distinc

Is decidely practical.

JACK AND SPELLING
Jack is a dog. He Is a very clevei
dog, a very wise dog, a very beautiful
dog.
That is almost enough for any dog,
hut still he would not be a natural dog
if be didn’t want affection, too.
And lie receives a great deal of
affection. Oh yes, Jack is dearly loved.
Then, too, he is very brave. Jack
has risked his wife to suve others.
His mistress is very proud of him, but
Jack is not conceited, nor does lie
think he has ever done anything won
derful.
He thinks lie has only done what Is
natural when he has saved lives. He
had the opportunities. That is what
he thinks.
Jack Is a police dog—and when
Jack was younger he belonged to a
policeman, too.
It was then that lie helped the
policeman to stop a runaway and
Jack was hurt then. The policeman
thought that Jack had hud quite
enough hard and dangerous work in
his life and that he should lead a
more restful life.
It was at that time that Jack took
up his life at the home of his dear
present mistress —the one lie hoped
he would always have.
Now and again the mistress would
go to the city and he would see his
big policeman friend and there would
be such joy.
The children around would see the
dog greeting the policeman and they
would see the policeman greeting the
dog and the sight was quite a wonder
ful one.
But there was just one thing Jack
couldn’t do.
He couldn’t spell. No, not a single
word could lie spell, nor did lie know
which words were which when people
took them apart, as it were, and put
them together letter by letter.
He couldn’t do the other lessons the
children did in school, but lie didn’t
mind about that. It was spelling he
wished he understood.
But his mistress took care that he
didn’t learn to spell.
That was something she didn’t want
him to know. He would never have to
write or to read und so it would never
be awkward for him if he couldn’t
spell. And there was one Important
reason why she didn’t want him to
learn.
Jack knew the meaning of prnctlcal
ly every word that was used.
When anyone said it was dinner
time Jack was all excited.
When any one said It was time

When anyone said that it would he

still quite chilly Juck went and sat
before the fireplace and looked around
to see who was going to strike the
match.
Or when someone said that It would
be well to build the fire Jack was
ready to go out to the woodhouse and
to help bring in some wood.
When anyone said that a bone
would be nice—well, Jack thought so
too, and barked a “Yes, thank you.”
A ludy came to see Jack's mistress
one day, and after she had been there
for a while she said:
“Dear me, I didn’t know it was get
ting so late. Mercy 1 I must hurry
home for din ”
But she didn’t get any further.
Jack had pricked up his ears.
“Don’t say the word,” Jnck’s mis
tress cried, “for it’s not time for d-l-n
--n-e-r yet (and she spelled the word out)
and Jack will get so excited and will
hardly be üble to wait If he hears the
word.
“I have to spell everything I don’t
want him to understand.”
And the lady looked at Jack and
S aw that he looked a little sad that
the talk was going to be partly in
spelling, and he felt a little bit hurt
that they spelt before him. Who
wants to have people spell w-ords be

Cause of Losses
to Pea Canners
Seed of Right Variety Is
One of Most Important
Considerations.
(Prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
One of the most important consid
erations in the commercial growing
of peas for canning is seed of the
right variety, as a few plants of the
wrong kind may ruin the entire pack,
says the United States Department of
Agriculture. The Alaska variety, which
is the basis of a very large percentage
of tiie acreage used for canning pur
poses, must be kept reasonably pure
if the crop is to be grown at a profit,
and no matter how good the seed is
otherwise, if there is a small per
centage of peas known ns Bnngallas,
the crop wii! be undesirable for can
ning becnuse of the discoloration pro
duced by this variety.
Test Samples of Seed.
During the past two years the de
partment hns collected samples of
seed of canning peas on the open mar
ket and grown them side by side in
trial grounds; some surprising facts
regarding the quality of the seed hnve
been brought out. In 1923 the growing
tests of Alaska pens comprised 219
samples, and of these 11 proved to be
true to name with no off-type plants.
Sixteen samples were off-type only In
the slightly greater length of vine,
while tiie and character of
the pods would admit them for can
ning purposes; 67 samples showed less
than 10 plants per rod of row of off
type peas and vines. Of the remainder
there were 51 samples which showed
from 10 to 25 plants per rod having
long vines not characteristic of the
Alaska variety. The samples which
had more than 25 plants per rod of
long vines numbered 39, while 35
samples were either not Alaskns or
were so-called “wild Alaskns” or field
peas. Of all the 219 samples, 4.0 per
cent were high-grade Alnskns, 7 4 per
cent showed only off-type vines, find
81.1 Tier cent had less than 10 plants
per rod off-type in character. Of these
samples, 94 could lie used for canning
purposes, but 125 were such decided
departures that they could not tie suc
cessfully handled in commercial plant
ings.
Results of 1923 Tests.
The results of the tests In 1923
paralleled those of 1922 and It Is be

Unique Slogan of Bank
of Petersburg, N. Dak.
“We bank on the cow, the sow, the
ewe, and the lien.”
The First National Bank of Peters
burg, N. Dak., hus this slogan on ils
unique bunk statement recently issued.
Pictures of cows, sheep, and swine
rather than moneybags are the decora
tions used. On the same page with a
statement of the bank's financial condi

of the community.
The report points with pride to the
improved live stock and diversified
nature of the farming in the district:
The 6,000 breeding ewes with pure
bred rams at the liead of every flock,
the GO pure bred bulls, the 100 or more
registered cows besides a great num
ber of high-grade females, the large
acreage of Grimm alfalfa, the $51,000
worth of produce shipped out during
the past year, and the activities of
the Petersburg Live Stock Shipping
association, which handled HO cars of
live stock last year.
The officials of the bank have been
active in co-operating with the United

GROWERS LIKE OILED •
WRAPPER FOR APPLES
Use Is Suggested as Result
of Thorough Trials.
(Prepared by the United State* Department
of Agriculture.)
The use of oiled-paper wrappers for
preventing upple sculd Is finding in
creased favor urnong glowers, par
ticularly in the Northwest, says the
United States Department of Agricul
ture. Approximately 15.000,000 boxes
of apples were wrapped for storage
last fall, whereas in 1022 there were
about 600,000 bores so treated. The
practice of using oiled paper for wrap
pers is suggested by the department
as a result of a number of years of
trials with various methods for pre
venting the appearance ol the disease
in storage apples and apples In transit,
which annually causes great loss to
dealers, buyers und shippers, and ul
timate disappointment to consumers.
of the character of the seed being
offered to the trade by many seeds
men. The requirements of the com
mercial growers are very much more
exacting than those of the market
gnrdener or home gardener. The
planting of extensive acreages of
spurious or off-type Alaska peas has
resulted In great losses in the eastern
part of the canning area. In some
cases the pack lias been absolutely
ruined by the presence of n small per
centage of lhingnlins, which discolor
the liquid In the cans.
The only Insurance against such
losses is high-grade seed true to
varietal type.
Eradication of Cattle
Tuberculosis Costs Less
In the eradication of cattle tubercu
losis It is now possible to get better
use out of the money expended than
ever before, according to tiie experi
ence of the veterinarians carrying on
the campaign for the United States
Department of Agriculture. During
the past year the average cost per
head of testing cattle under govern
ment supervision was 35 cents, a re
duction of 11 cents from the figure of
the preceding year. Tills reduction,
which was brought about largely
through tiie spread of the area testing
plan, makes It possible to advance
much more rapidly with the eradica
tion work. Most of tiie areas In which
all of the cattle have been tested at
one time are counties, and counties
free of cattle tuberculosis may now lie
found in nearly all parts of the coun
try from the Atlantic to the Pacific to
the Gulf. Every one of the four cor
ners of the country has at least one
free county or one In which a cam
paign Is now being carried on. Up
near the extremity of Maine Is Pis
cataquis county; In southwestern Ari
zona is Maricopa county; Island coun
ty, Wash., Is free; and work Is Just
starting to make the final clean-up In
Dude county, Fla.*
Sweet Clover Requires
Well-Settled Seed Bed
Sweet clover requires a well-settled
and firm seed bed, with Just enough
loose soil on the surface to permit the
seed to be well covered. When sown
in the spring on winter grain, the seed
bed Is as a rule In good condition,
and the seed will he covered by al
ternate freezing and thawing. When
sown witti spring grain, the seed bed
is often not so firm ns It should he for
rapid germination. In such cases It Is
a good plan to roll the ground after
seeding. When seeded without a nurse
crop it should never be sown on land
which has had no chance to settle.
For this reason the land should be
plowed some time before seeding and
worked down by thorough cultivation.
In the West, where spring seeding Is
always necessary, the best results are
secured from fall-plowed land followed
by early spring seeding.
Serviceable Floor for
New House for Poultry
Here’s u way to make a dry and
serviceable floor for that new poultry
house. Use four Inches of good grado
cinders covered witli two layers of tar
paper and three inches of cement on
top. The cinders should not give any
trouble from disintegration or allow
the floor to sag or break, for they are
often used in a similar way.
A thoroughly dry floor for the poul
try Is essential to success, according
to the department of agricultural engi
neering at lowa State college, which
offers this suggestion.
Where In the past It has been cus
tomary to wrap the apples In ordinary
paper, as Is done with the western
crop, the use of oiled paper does not
entail any additional effort or trouble
and adds but two cents to the cost of
each box. Apples wrapped in oiled pa
per of the proper kind come through
the winter In excellent condition and
have been received with special favor
on the market, especially during the
latter part of the season. In May,
1923, oiled wrapper apples were sell
ing on the New York auction for
$1 more per box than similar ap
ples In tinoiled wrappers. Kastern
producers who barrel their apples have
not mu<te any great use of the iyw
practice because of the impractsCiJpl£
