Delightful Barbecue and Re union of the Winn Family of Rehoboth. As the beautiful sun rose in the eastern sky on the morning of Au gust 7, the wind (Winn) began to stir in every direction to see who should be the first one to get to their father's home, Mr. W. B. Winn, for the family re-union. At seven o'clock they began to come one after another until finally they all reached home once more to talk of their childhood days. They gathered in the antique oak grove around the springs where the carcasses were being prepared, and talked about the many pleasant hours they had spent around the springs. You could hear the mer ry and the chattering of the grand children's voices mingled in with them. But to think, when we began to look around and count them, they had increased from twelve to thirty. It was a great pleasure to the father and mother to have their children and grand children gather around them. Mr. and Mrs. Winn have ten living children, eight boys and two girls, six daughters in-law, four grand daughters and eight grand sons. So you may imagine what a pleasant day they spent, especially when they gathered under the stately oaks with their branches extending over the long) table laden with an abundance of delightful food spread by the' springs of beautiful clear water. At 1 o'clock dinner was announ ced and barbecued hash, meats, iced tea, lemonade, etc., were served and greatly enjoyed. The guests were Mr. and Mrs. J. O. Seigler, Messrs. Calhoun Seigler, Earl Fuller, Ed Reynolds and Bob West. As night drew near they all de parted for their homes with bright and happy faces looking forward for the next annual f.tmily rc-union. A Guest. Who Owns The Birds. The New York Tribune of May 26 has an editorial on the protec tion of our birds that is so clearly and strongly put that it shouid have the widest possible reading. We give it in part: "Our lawmakers have been care fully trained to believe that the men who kill are the sole dictators of the fate of the game birdu and many others. Nine Americans out of every ten to-day have in their heads a well"defined state of mind which passively concedes that the sportsmen, gunners and 'game hogs' actually own all the game birds and may dictate their fate. "But every tenth man has learned differently, and the day of, reckon ing has arrived. Ninety-five per cent of the birds, game and not ganie, belong to the people Who don'k shoot and never kill. When ever they decide that there should be no bird shooting anywhere iii the United States for five years that decision will prevail. The real sportsmen wili concur; the gunners will object. The game birds do not belong to the gunners any more than to the barbers or the station ary engineers. The question of what the gunners will agree to in the line of real conservation is now a mat ter of acedemic interest only. "Through their greed and selfish ness in shooting up to the "bag lim it' ?nd beyond the heedless sports men, the gunners and 'game hogs' of this land have brought our once bountiful supply of legitimate game to an alarmingly low point. They have shown us that the way to bring back the birds is to stop kill ing them. If this spells 'prohibi tion,' as some of the killers already declare then prohibition let it be, for our bird fauna must and shall be saved."-Our Dumb Animals. Tura Under Legume Crop?. It is the business of the farmer to take out of his soil in cYops every pound of nitrogen, phosphor us and p< taesium be can get oat of it, bat it ie equally as mach or more nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium rn some cheaper form. If the supply of any plant food is abondant and little of it is re moved from ? the land, . ae -may be true of potassium when nothing but livestock or lint cotton is sold from the farm, he may draw on the reserve supply in the soil fora time, but generally the only safe plan is to put back as much of each plant food as is removed by the crops, and not returned in stable manure. In the case of nitrogen, much more must be put back than the crops remove from the soil, for ibis plant food is largely leached out by rain water that drains from the soil. To sell nitrogen in milk, beef, pork or in grains at a high price, and gather it from the air with le gumes for little or no cost, when the feeding value of these legumes is considered, is a profitable busi ness and should be followed by the farmer to the utmost limit. If he does this by growing two crops a. year, one of whioh is a legume to be plowed under or fed and the manure returned to the land, he can buy phosphorus in the form of ground phosphate rock at a very small part of what be gets for it in the products sold, but if he buys ni trogen at 20 cent* a pound, then he must also buy phosphorus in the form of acid phosphate at a cost of four or rive times what it would cost him in ground phosphate rock. From this it is seen that the farmer who grows legumes and at least plows some of them under, not only gets his nitrogen for a small part of what it costs when bough: in commercial form, but he also saves three-fourths of the cost foVthe phosphorus needed which must be brought in all kinds of farming to maintain the supply in the soil. A great roany seem to fail to realize that the aim of the farmer should be to take the largest quan tities of plant foods possible from the soil, in crops, and a still greater number entirely fail to appreciate the fact that these plant foode taken from the soil must be replac ed. When they are bought at the prices charged for commercial ni trogen and for phosphorus in acid phosphate the farmer is either "swapping dollars" or robbing his land. It is better to buy these plant foods in commercial fertilizers than not put anything back into the soil; but if the greatest profit is to be obtained, he must gather his ni trogen from the air with legumes and put his land in condition so that he can use the cheapest form of phosphorus by plowing these le gumes under or feeding them and returning the stable manure.-Tait Butler in Progressive Farmer.

The clerk went to the ice chest, put his arms around a large piece of meat, and, after struggling across the store, managed io reach the scale, which read forty-seven pounds. This was too much for the lady, sb back went the meat and out came a different piece. This time the scales read thirty-eight pounds. After slicing off a piece h e got it to weigh exactly thirty-five pounds. There lady, he said, "where shall I have it sent?" Nowhere, said the lady.
