Joseph Powell, the curiosity shop keeper at the zoo, hns added n col lection of United States half-cent coins to his already large coin exhibit They date from 1800 to 1850. The gov rnmont stopped coining half cents a good ninny years ago, but they are still real money and will bo nccepted at their face value. Of course, the fact that half cents nro now worth 25 cents to 75 cents each, becauso of their scarcity, Is another mutter. Cincinnati Stnr-Timcs.

Nothing Like Plain Bitro-Phosphate to Put on Firm, Healthy Flesh and to Increase Strength, Vigor and Nervo Force. Judging from tho countless preparations And treatments which are continually be 4np advertised for the purpose of making thin people fleshy, developing arms, neck nd bust, and replacing ugly hollows and angles oy ino soft curved lines of health and beauty, there are evi dently thou sanda of men and women who keenly feel their ex cessive thin ness. Thinness and weakness are often duo to starved nerves. Our bodies need more phos phate than Is contained In modern foods. uww'n claim mere is uothlner that will supply this deficiency o well as the organic phosphate known which Is Inexpensive and is sold by most 11 drugglcts under a guarantee of satis faction or money back. By feeding the nerves directly and by supplying the body cells with the necessary phospnorlo food elements, bltro-phosphate should produce a. welcome transformation In the nppear unce: the increase in weight frequently being astonishing. , . Increase In weight also carries with it general Improvement in the health. Nervousness, sleeplessness and lack of nsrgy, which nearly always accompany excessive thinness, should soon disappear, dull eyes ought to brighten', and paU cheeks glow with the bloom of perfect health. Miss Georgia Hamilton, who was once thin and frail, reporting her own experience, writes: "Bltro-Phosphate has brought about a magic transformation with ma. I gained 15 pounds and never before felt so well." , ... CAUTION: Although bltro-phosphate ii unsurpassed for relieving nervousness, leoplessness and general weakness It should not. owing to Its tendency to In crease weight, be used by anyone who 4oes not destra to put on flesh.

TILE DRAINS ARE FAVORED Where Money Is Not Available to Drain All of Land, Start Where Proflta Would Be Greatest No Rule for Slzo of Tile. (Prepared by the United States Depart ment of Agriculture.) A good drainage system on n fertile fnrm thnt Is not naturally well drained Ib a permanent improvement which continues to pny dividends in the form of. Increased crop production. (City gardens nnd lawns frequently need dralnnge, and if properly tiled, would bo grently Improved.) Tile drains usunlly give more thorough dralnnge thnn open ditches. They occupy no land surfnee nnd do not in terfere with fnrming operations. If properly constructed they require al most no expenditure for maintenance. Economic Arrangement. The most economic arrangement of the drainage system is one thnt per mits the use of long laterals "and re quires the shortest totnl length of main drains. No hnrd nnd fast rule can bo given for determining the size of the tile to be used. Drains should be lnrge enough to remove the sur plus wnter before the crops nro, In jured. It is better to use sizes too large thnn too smnll, und no tile less thnn' four Inches in dlnmcter shoulc1 be used. On common dnrlc silt lonmil svfycro the average rainfall Is approxi mately 30 inches, eight-Inch tile having n fnll of two inches to 100 feet will provide outlet dralnnge for 10 acres; seven-Inch tile for 30 acres, six-Inch tile for 19 acres nnd four-inch tile for six ncres. The proper deptli for drain tiles de pends upon the soli nnd varies from two to four feet. In heavy slit lonms the depth should be from two to three feet. In this ense the lnternls should he plncco from 30 to -10 feet apart. In open soils thnt give up wnter readily, and where the drains are three to four feet deep, the lnternls may be from 00 to 150 feet npnrt. In the more porous soils the space mny he even grentcr. Secure Proper Fall. The dralnnge should hnve n fall of not less thnn one inch to 100 feet if possible nnd greater fnll thnn this Is very desirable. Where little fnll Is ob tained, pnrtlculnr cure must bo tnken to secure a proper grade. The drain age ditch should be started nt the out let nnd Its course should follow a line Using a Level to Lay Off a Drainage System. which hns previously been laid out Keep the ditch clean cut and as straight us possible. If the direction la changed it should bo done by cmy curves. Shnrp turns must bo nvolded. Laying the tile, like digging the ditch, should begin nt the outlet. Under ordinary conditions tile should be lnld nnd blinded or primed every dny ufter the ditch Is tnnde. Any de lay In laying may cause Injury to the ditch by rain or by particles tailing Into it. If the bnnks nre likely to cave, the tile should be lnld ns fnst ns the ditch Is completed. The smnller sizes nre lnld from the bnnk with a hook. Lnrgo sizes must bo lnld by i hnnd from the bottom of the ditch. J All misshaped nnd badly erncked tile . should be discarded. If a tile does ( not join closely with tho preceding one, It should be turned over until It fits at the top. Cover nil lnrge cracks I with pieces of tile or with cement. After the tile are lnld nnd Inspected they should he covered with n little dirt from the sides, which process hs j called priming, nnd left to settle. The purpose Is to hold the tllo In position nnd prevent brenknge when the re mnlnder of the ditch Is filled. After tho tlc nre primed they mny remain without Injury for several dnys or un til all of tho (Jltches are ready for tilling. If the soil is close nnd it Is deslrnble to nld the wnter In reaching the tllo quickly, tho ditch can be pnr tlnl'.y filled with strnw or brush or with stones nnd pieces of brick If they nre avnllnble. Under ordinary conditions the ditch Is most easily filled with a turn-plow equipped with nn evener 12 or 14 Inches long. An other method Is to plnce the team on ono side of tho ditch dnd pull the dirt In with a scraper from tho other side. BIG CORN CONTEST IS NOW ORGANIZED Sixty-Five Counties in Indiana Have Been Enrolled. Demonstration to Show Each Commun ity How Proper Methods of Plant ing, Cultivation, Etc., Incrcaso Yield, of Crop. (Prepared by tho United Btatos Depart ment of Agriculture.) Sixty-five Indiana counties have or ganized for tho five-acre corn-growing contest, the biggest event of the kind' held by nny stnte, nnd Indications aro for the Inrgest enrollment ever ob tained. A stntc-wlde campaign has bcea completed by practical corn-growers, nnd they report Interest this yenr keener thnn ever. This contest Is con ducted each year by tho Indiana Corn Growers' association, working in co operation with Purdue university and tho county agents. Tho contest this yenr Is nrrnnged nlso ns a demonstration to show each community how proper methods of planting, cultivation, fertilizing nnd other factors lncrcnsc the yield. The only requirements for entrance to the contest nro thnt tho contestant Join the Well-Cultivated Corn Field, Free of Weeds Food, Not, Waste, Produced on This Land. corn-growers' nssocintton nnd ngree to keep a record of the cost of production of the crop on one of his fields from which tho five-acre plot Is Inter se lected. 'i'he association will give a bronze medul to ench person producing 75 to Sr bushels of corn to tho acre, silver medals to those producing 85 to 100 bushels, and gold mcdnls to those grow ing 100 bushels or more. Ench coun ty nlso offers a minimum prize of 25 or Its equivalent In prizes to be di vided in the county, 70 per cent be ing given on the basts of yield nnd 80 per cent on the basis of cost of pro duction. ADHERE TO FEED STANDARDS Necessary That Feeder Exercise Good Judgment and Intelligent Observation. (Prepared by tho United States Depart ment of Agriculture) Good judgment nnd Intelligent ob servntlon on the pnrt of the feeder are necessary in the application of feed ing standards, ns tho calculation of economical rations Is not merely a matter of npplled mathematics. Tho local conditions us regnrds tho feed ing stuffs which can be grown and purchased economically, and tho value of the products, will have much to do In determining how closely the feeder can nfford to adhero to the standard. Hut such standards or for mulas, used In connection with tho feeder's observntlon of his nnlmals und the markets, are very useful, and hnve served a good purpose In improving the practice of feeding. It Is In their abuse that chief danger lies. BEST SELECTION OF PULLETS Buyers Should Choose Fowls of Same Breed and Variety as Shown by Size and Color. (Prepared by the United States Depart ment of Agriculture.) As far as possible tho buyer should select pullets of tho sumo breed and variety us shown by tho size, color of plumage, nnd form of comb. It Is not advisable, however, for one who keeps onlya small flock to supply eggs for the fnmlly table to select for uniform ity In comb or color If to do so lends to mnrked Inequality in slzo. FEED YOUNG PIGS PROPERLY Trough Should Be Constructed So That Each Little Porker Gets His Full Share. (Prepured by the United States Depart ment of Agriculture.) Young pigs should bo given their feed in such n mnnncr thnt each Indi vidual pig gets its share. Tho sim plest wuy to accomplish this is to al low the pigs to oat from a properly consiruted feed trough, ono that will keep tho pigs out of tho feed and will lessen the possibility of crowd-lug. 1 PRICES OF DAIRY PRODUCTS Do Not Fully Respond Immediately to Advance In CoBt of Feed Lag Was Felt In 1917. (Prcpnrod by tho United Stntes Depart ment of Agriculture.) Higher prices of tho crops eaten by live stock should find their way Into higher prices for live stock products. Kventuully they mny, but there Is what the bureau of crop estimates of the United States department of agri culture calls a "lug." Product prices tlo not fully respond nt once to ad vance In feed prices. Such was the sltuntlon of farmers with regard to the prices of dairy products nnd other itnlnml products from 1015 to 1018, and the lng wns heavily felt by farm ers In 1017. From 1015 to 1910 crop prices lu cronsod -17 per cent, nnd from 1015 to 1018 about 120 per cent. Duriug the same time the totnl value of nnlmnl products on tho farm did not corre spondingly gain, nlthough n tendency '.o overtake tho lng npponred In lulS. In the meantime llvo stock has In creased In number nnd price, nnd enor mously In totnl vnluc, although not enough to hold Its plnco In the proces sion, and it Is Interesting to compare the totnl value of live stock prod ucts with the total vnluo of llvo stock Itself year by yenr during the war. In nnch of tho three years, 101:1-1915, the uggregntc vnluc of live stock products wns 05 per cent of tho nggregnte value of live stock. The ratio went up to OS per cent la 1010, made n great ad vance to 78 per cent In 1017, nnd 84 per cent In 1918. Live stock vnlue, compounded of Increasing number nnd Incronslug price, tagged behind tho ml vnnclng value of live stock products. That there should hnve been u lng In the advance of live stock vnlue, compared with tho ndvnnce In tho value of live stock products, is In nc Good Pasture Is the Cow's Best Feed cordnnce with experience, but theso products themselves lugged In price liMilml tlir. ptnn iP tlw. nftra uninn 111 ' their production. Consequently some unprofitable production of nnlmnl prod ucts mny have nccompnnled the lng of live stock vnluo behind vnlue of products. TO AVOID MOTTLED BUTTER Defect Is One of Workmanship and Can Be Prevented by Application of Proper Methods. (Prepared by tho Unltod States Depart- ! rnent or Agriculture.) j Mottled butter Is frequently found I on the mnrkct nt this time of tho yenr, nnd, even though It mny bo of very good flavor, it is strongly dis criminated ngninst by tho purchnser. As this defect Is ono of workmanship, It enn be overcome by the uppllcntlon of proper methods on the pnrt of Urn buttermnker. Mottles nre caused prlmnrlly by nn uneven distribution of salt In tho but ter. This mny bo produced by Insuf ficient working of the butter or by churning, washing, and working it nt u very low temperature, or by washing or working It nt a temperature Bevernl degrees higher or lower thun the churning temperature. When tho quantity of butter mudo In ono churning Is much less thnn usunl, It Is necessary to work It n greater number of revolutions of tho churn thnn usunl In order to produce tho Kiiino results on tho butter. Extremely low temperatures of churning, washing, and working should be uvoided, hecnuse they produce so firm n butter thnt It Is only with grent difficulty that tho snlt can bo worked uniformly Into It. High tem peratures of churning, washing, and working must nlso ho avoided to pre vent nn nbuormnl loss of fat In tho buttermilk and nlso tho muklng of a grensy, leuky butter. Grent vnrlntlons In temperature during the manufacturing process should nlwnys bo nvolded. Under nor mnl conditions the temperature of tho wush wnter should bo tho same ns, or within 2 degrees of, lhat of tho buttermilk. I Three flavors to suit ail tastes.
