By else ply dryloi the sltcee of bread, tbua making "toast," breed can be more readily digested.

The finer the flour le ground, especial ly wheat Hon r, the more of the nutri tive substances are lost, and Wheat bread la poorly sbeorbed. Rye flour, when It contains bran, la very badly assimilated. Oa|a are even more poor ly taken tip. When oats are to be need It la best to eat the products manufactured especially with a view to the dlgeetiblUty. In my estimation, says a writer In Health and Longe vity, puree of oatmeal with two yolka forms a very healthful food. In which the eggs not only greatly Improve the taete, but also lncreaee the nutri tive value. Very valuable preparer tloaa for children's use can be made, with oatmeal when taken with milk. COLD FORMERLY WAS FATAL Natlvee Who Inhabited Arabian Dee erte Centuries Age Perlehed When North Winds Swept Over Them. It seems oolda in the head were a lot worse In the olden times than they think of being nowadays. In fact they were epidemics then, and used to sweep across the deserts, killing off the natives by the hundreds. Those peoples in the Arabian/, des erts seem to have been the worst sufferers, and their cause waa due ohiefly to the Influence of frightful winds from the north. The country waa not built up In those days as it Is now, and nature had her way, and her ravages were felt in all lande and by all nations. L Indeed, the- aacients alt deacrlbed this peat as due to the wind, and the symptoms appear to have been essen tially catarrhal, ftven the animals are recorded to be ihe victims of these same dreadful colds, which started 4a the head and went through the en tlrd body, reeultlng In dreadful pains and shortly in death. So the next time that you feel as though the end of the earth were about to come for you, just remember if you were living 3,000 years ago you would be in a lot worse fix. All in the Scheme. Very, very busy wan the editor. Wild won his hair and clammy waa his brow. Ho could hardly be Been for the litter of papers confronting him, and his temper waa distinctly ruffled. The door opened and a seedy, un kempt person insinuated himself into the room. ? y "I should like to know," he began, pompously and airily, "If there Is an opening here?" The editor laid aside his pen and sat back In his chair, eyeing the stranger with a devouring glance. "Sir," came the grim reply, "if 1 may mention, the matter, an ingenious and able journeyman carpenter and Joiner, probably foreseeing your visit, welcome or otherwise, has provided an excellent and well-finished opening. Turn about and the opening faces you. "By gyrating the knob to the right you may avail yourself of that open ing, but kindly do not trip over the mat!" Then, gathering up his pen unew, the editor began work again. ? Harris burg Star. "Celestial" as Applied to China. Everyone knows the epithet "Celes tial" applied to China, but few know its origin. According to a very old legend, Thibet is a fragment of a planet, once peopled by a yellow race, which in Bome way became detached and fe* on the earth. The dazed In habitants of the fragment were unin> lured, and, cold and hungry, they made their way toward China, which they peopled. This origin of the Chi nese race led to their calling them selves "Celestials," and it Is for this reason that the emperor calls himself Son of Heaven. Such, at least, is the legend. 8late Production. The slate production of the United States Is practically confined "to the northeastern part of the country. Al though scattered deposits, more or less developed, occar elsewhere, the eastern slate is shipped to supply mar kets on the western coast as well as in the central aqd southern parts of the country. Pennsylvania is the greatest prpducer. Another Reason. "I see where a burglar has reform ed." "Did his conscience hurt him?" "No. It seems that ho is a light hearted fellow and he found it a great hardship not to bo able to sing at his work." On the Rialto. Actor ?

Alfalfa la the greatest permanent ! hog forage. Evergreens ought to be planted aa i eaaly aa possible. Head work will often save bard work on the farm All the various breeds of hoga hare j their ardent admirers. Oata and peas will provide a good I growing Nation for hogs. Oats cut at the proper time make a very good quality of hay. Bvery pig that goes to paature should have a ring In his nose. The best way to get nitrogen Into the soil is to sow it in with olover. ! Select a gilt that is Inclined to be growtby rather than a fat, chubby one. You cannot rush a hog, and as soon aa you try It you will get* In a mess. It does not take much buttermilk In the butter to make it turn ranold ear i During the summer months, the ewes should have access to luxuriant ' jpasture. . \ '4 If you can't afford to buy a pure bred cow or bull, buy a calf and breed up a herd. There 1a just as much need of Im proved dairymen as there la- of lm- ' proved herds. f When In doubt as to what use to j make of hen manure* try it as a top ? dressing on grass. .. T^e farm should be well supplied with garden tools if you want the boys to do the work. f -I Continued close confinement in the stalls is liable to cause permanent en largement of the joints. This is the season to plan the build ings and changes that will bo made on the farm a little later. Big machinery is not always profit able. The machine should fit the farm and the power to handle it. If you cannot provido a dip for I swine, give them a spray. The boys ? can spray Iiokh without any trouble. The horses that are best *We to Btand hard strains are those which work steadily every day in the week. When opening your silo bear in mind that whenever you change feed the change should be made gradually. One good cow well fed and cared for will give more net profits than two good cows not so well fed and cared for. ?. Raising chickens in confinement up der too artificial conditions leads to ultimate trouble in< the laying and breeding pens. The best piece of advice for a be ginner in poultry raising Is to go slow at first. Start with a few birds and learn as you go. Once more through the corn will add many bushels to your crop. Muk zle the horse, use a short whlffletree and cultivate shallow. Prune a little every year rather than too much one year. It will be much easier for you, and a great deal better for the orchard. No one who has a first-class garden is ever heard to express any regrets about it. Not bo the one who has none and buys his vegetable In tin cans. ? ? t Do you have some tomato and early cabbage plants growing? If not it isn't too late yet to plant some seed. Get busy though, spring .J# comirig^faBt ( A prominent horticulturist mm \ "Never mulch young trees. It draws the roots toward tho surface and makos them susceptible to changes In temperature." If you are not sure whether or not a hen is broody enough to take eggs, put your hand under her breast. If sho grips it with her breast, 6he is ready for eggs. It is best not to let a new Bitter have eggs until you are sure sfcrar means business. Give hor two or three eggs for a couple of days and see if she is a sticker. . Only a few farmers at tho present time have the ideal ration for dairy cows, but they Can and should ar range to grow it on the farm and have it on hand at all times. The trailing nasturtiums are among the easiest annuals to grow and will give a supply of flowers the whole ^?^?on. IMant when danger of frost * prw, or In pots or boxes, and trans j to the open later. Keep ahead of weeds. Geese are money makers. 1 Bran Is excellent for layers. . Shelter the manure spreader. Cartful feeding- prevents scours. Potatoes are only a fair feed for oows. Clean cultivation in the orchard is necessary. Corn silage and alfalfa hay make a balanced ration. The cow that is a good producer must be fed liberally. Don't make the garden too small for the band-wheel hoe. Alkali water has very Uttle effect up on the flavor; of butter. The best way t6 kill dut weeds is never to let 'em come up. Two-flfths of the world's 100 million swine are in the United States. The milk giving quality can be de veloped only when it is inherited. ? ? ' ' p There is much more to plowing than BlttiQg up. and holding the lines. Similarity of. breeding stock pro duces offspring of much greater value. Give the stock plenty of salt, and be sure they drill ? an aoundance of wa ter. , The most expensive help on some farms is the dog sent to round up the cows. The vegetable and fruit garden can be made the most profitable acre on the farm. ? T , Success In dairy farming depends as much on the man as upon any natural condition, In planting a new orchard it Is far better to use too much space than to crowd the trees. Sunshine, pure air and clean sur roundings will do much to make tjie dairy barn more attractive. If you must use manure in the newly planted orchard, better put it on top of the ground? ^never In the hole with the tree. Calves should have the milk warm from the separator, and the pigs should have their share sweet and In the same way. . 5 Not much use treating seed. pota toes for scab if they are to be planted In the same ground where the crop ?was scabby last year. Many of the good dairymen started with Shorthorn and dual purpose cows. As soon as they begtta to study, however, they changed. Two eyes to the piece Is the right ( way to cut seed potatoes, but have the piece large enough so aB to give the sprouts a good start. The common disk harrow found upon every farm in the northwest Is one of the most valuable of all the implements used by the farmer. ? ? In setting out trees the holes should not bo dug too^ far in advance. The sooner the tree Is set after digging the hole the better the start it will make. Enlarge the early orchard for early ^Jjruite.Vlt is rather difficult to have a surplus of early and late fruits. The middle season is more easily over I stocked. 1 The black raspberry thrives best on land that lies well for natural drain age. It can not be grown on land that is naturally of a wet and therefore cold nature. Milking Is one of the most impor tant tasks on the farm and should be so considered. ? It can scarcely be called a side Issue when so much ^profit depends upon it. The silo has now become almost a necessity on the farm, if profits are looked for. There aro many farms on which it is not yet found, but the " number of these Is decreasing. Poor butter is the CUrso of ISe farm dairy. It is better economy to sell the butter-fat or the whole-milk than to try to manufacture tho product at home if you have not the equipment with which to turn out & hTgTf quality.
