According to some reports great la- , genuity In the usa of aclentl?c knowl edge In extracting food values from unusual sources is being employed, 1 the Baltimore Star states. There are < many articles good for human food and wholesome food at that, which un der ordinary conditions are not drawn ; upon at all. There are the angle worm, the grasshopper and fully a score of plants not ordinarily used as food which, properly prepared, constitute nourishing foods. It ls perhaps only the most desperate and resolute sort of appottta that would stand for the earth worm, but they have been eaten ' even by highly civilized people and when properly prepared are said to be not so h?.d. Why should we be squeam ish about tho anglo worm when wa eat the oyster, stomach, lungs and ev erything but the shell? As to grasshoppers they wero an an cient delicacy and are yet so regarded by many races who know what's what In tho way of good tilings to eat All the grasses that are eaten by animals have nourishing Juices. Clover and green timothy possess a higher food quality than cabbage or potatoes. Bolled to tenderneps they would pre vent starvation. There have, been famine periods when human beings have been obliged to cat field grasses and wild plant roots.

Here ls a little device which you can make at home by which the tiniest tack can be held without possibility of injury to the fingers. Take a strip ot tin about three-quarters of an inch wide and about six or seven inches long. Shape lt with a small slot In one end. Then double it, bending at the mid dle. When ready to insert the nail, put it Into the slot, which will hold lt by Its bead. This gives a kind of handle by means of which you can hold the nail perfectly upright while you hit lt with the hammer. Qf course the holder must be pulled away before the nail or tack has gone all the way into tho wood. It you have not the tin at hand strer? cardboard will serve the purpose.

Uncle Jed was a trifle slack about quitting the bottom when the levee broke, and bad to take to a tree. Morn ing came,' and there waa sixty feet ot Mississippi flood water between him and shore. The preacher happened along on the high ground and saw Jed, but there wasn't ?ny boat. Moreover, Jed's suspicion that there were alli* gators rbout was well founded. The preacher besought Jed to swim, but in vain. Finally he called cat: "Jed, have faith.. Remember how Jonah was cared for In the whale and saved after three days." Jed spoke earnestly. "Tax, sub, I remember. I ala' deny? in' nuthln' 'bout Jonah, 'cause I wa'n't nigh um. But dis year alligator, he aln* no whale, sui.

There can uo longer bo any doubt that the far mers of the state of South Carolina are determined to rescue themselves from the fiuancial abyss into whim they have plunged through the ex cessive misuse of commercial fertili sers and through tho habit or baying everything to eat away from home. Men are now writing to get seed tor tho clovers and vetch who have p-r haps thought-of the valve of c-ops that could pump uitrogcu ?rom tho air and store -rt in the soil tor the Buceeding crop. South Carolina lins raised this year the greatest cow pea crop In her history and a great many ot thc farmers who secured inocula tion for cowpcoa through the state department of agriculture Hiid the Tutted States department of agricul ture bave sent to the department specimens from their fields particu larly whore thoy had planted check lots showing the roots of the plants carrying in many Instances double the uodules of the unlnoculutcd Danger Of Gin-M Washington. Aug. 26.-Kew cotton growers realize when they take back seed from an ordinary gin to use in planting the nert crop, the extent to which their seed may be mixed with tlie seed of the cotton ginned Just previous to tluir lot. Yet this matter ls of vital importance to all cotton raisers who wish to show a uni form variety of cotton. As every stu dent of cotton breeding k:?ows. even a few seeds of another variety in a cotton field may through cross-fer-. tilizatlon causo ?interbreeding and de terioration in a large number of plants. Instead of getting only a few Bceds from a neighbor'.) lot ot cot ton, however, actual investigations by specialists of the department of agri culture show Mi at in certain eases a lot of seed will contain as much as 14 to 16 per cent of seed left in tho gin boxes from tho cotton ginned Just before. In the'casos investigat ed not only baa there been a large percentage of seed from thc variety ginned just previously, but it is found that som o seeds may remain from the second bale preceding, lt fol lows, therefor?,' that a grower may very readily mix one or two other va rieties with his special kind of seed. Where a grower is particular about his seed, be can greatly minimize the mixing by quick, Simple and inexpen sive measures in'-.which the average ginnc-r will bo glad to cooperate. The following precautions, which Boera to bo entirely practicable and which, in fact, are now exercised In Borne local ities, aro strongly recommended in itopartnrcnt bulletin I??o. 288, Custom dinning as a Factor, in Cottonseed Deterioration, soon to be issued .

Such precautions require time In which to carry them out effoctlvcly, nnd time spent in this manner na turally reduces somewhat the amount of ginning that oiihorwlso could bc dono In a day. On this point thc gln n?r may find cause to base objection to such preccdure, but lt should bo possible to moot tba objection by ful ly compensating him for the extra time consumed. Tho expense of special ginning in some sections may be reduced by arranging to have lt dono on s]>eclfied days or at the close of the season, when more time is avail able. In any event, tho amount of money that may be required to se cure tho glnner's cooperation in tho maintenance of nure seed ls almost negligible >n view of tho favorable ef fect such precautions will hav*? upon tho fanner's crops in - succeeding years.
