    A Great Historical
Romance of Love and
War and Adventure
OUR NEW SERIAL
By SAMUEL McCOY
Tippecanoe is a story that
dealswithapagein Amer
ican history as romantic as
anything that forms a part
of our contribution to the
world’s store of treasures
—the battle of Tippecanoe,
over one hundred years
ago, when Indiana was
still a frontier country. It
does not falsify history for
the purposes of romance,
and it is quite as human
as it is historical.
The people it portrays are
as interesting and as en
tertaining as though they
were purely imaginary.
Besides these merits, the
story is written in absorb
ing style. The hero is a
eaver who, in England,
ias gone through the
troubles that arose after
the invention of machin
ery to do away with
hand work.
Various celebrities such as Gen
eral Harrison, Captain Zachary
Taylor, Colonel Posey, the Prophet,
Simon Girty and Judge Parke are
also introduced. You will finish
the story with an admirable notion
of the times and a clearer under
standing of history.
If historical romances have a fas
cination for you, you will find
great pleasure reading Tippecanoe.

BLUE GRASS BEST FOR FATTENING HOGS
ON BLUE-GRASS PASTURE AT MISSOURI COLLEGE.
(Bv F. B. MUMFORD, Dean of Missouri
College of Agriculture, Columbia, Mo.)
Probably no state in the United
States has so large an area of blue
grass pasture as Missouri. Certain
advantages in this state have led many
men who farm, and particularly those
controlling large bodies of land, to fol
low grazing on permanent pastures.
When the price of land was low and
the value of grain less than at present,
blue-grass farming was more profitable
than rotative farming. A change of
conditions makes more skillful han
dling of grass lands necessary.
Investigations carried on at the Mis
souri experiment station for five years,
comparing blue grass with ten other
rotations, including the best forage
crops known for Missouri, show that
the average return per acre which can
be accredited to blue-grass forage for
fattening hogs Is $22.30 per acre, esti
mating pork at 6 cents a pound, and
corn fed at 00 cents a bushel. A rota
tion of rape, clover, and corn yielded
an annual income of $22.42 per acre.
A succession of corn in which cowpeas
were planted at the last cultivation
gave an annual income per acre of
$19.48.
The figures indicate that it is not
necessary for men who farm to plow
up all the land devoted to blue-grass
pastures in order to make it pay a
good income even on the basis of high t
land values at the present prevailing
in this state.
SHELTER ESSENTIAL
FOR A SHEEP FLOCK
Dry Floor, Good Roof. Abundance
of Fresh Air and Feed
Space Are Important.
It is impossible to suggest any very
definite sheep barn plans without
knowing under just what conditions
the barn is to be built, but Prof. H.
Hackedorn of the Missouri College
of Agriculture makes some general
suggestions. He says: “In planning
barns or sheds for a breeding flock of
sheep, a space of 10 or 12 square feet
per ewe will give sufficient room. The
essentials of shelter for sheep are (1)
dry floor, (2) good roof, (3) an abun
dance of fresh air, (4) avoid drafts
(5) avoid narrow doors and passages
so ewe heavy with lamb will not be in
jured, and (C) provide sufficient feed
ing-trough space so all the sheep can
eat at the same time.
“We find that a shed 25 or SO feet
wide and as long as necessary to
house the flock gives very good results
at tiie Missouri agricultural experi
ment station. It should open on the
south and may be built with a feed
trough and feed alley along the north
side. Economy of rack space may be
secured by the use of movable racks
so arranged as to make as many lots
as are needed in the shed. These par
tition racks can be moved out of the
way whenever a wagon is driven in to
;>e loaded with manure. The shed
should be high enough to afford plenty
of loft room. As we feed baled hay,
a loft five feet high at the eaves gives
us room enougii to store a winter’s
supply for the flock, but if loose hay
is put in and fed correspondingly,
more loft room must be provided.”

INFECTIOUS DISEASE
Trouble Is Caused by Seed-Form
ing Organism Gaining En
trance Through Wounds.
(By A. HAIINEK, Idaho Experiment Sta^
tion.j
Blackleg is a specific infectious dis
ease of young cattle, caused by a spore
or seed-forming organism that gains
entrance to the tissues through small
wounds in the skin. Cattle between the
ages of six months and two and one
half years are most susceptible.
The main noticeable symptom Is the
occurrence of a large gaseous swelling
beneath the skin of the hind quarters,
the shoulder or the lower portion of
the neck. The swelling crackles when
the hand is passed over It, and if cut
into the muscle is dark and a yellow
ish bloody fluid escapes. Associated
with this symptom are others common
to bacterial infections, viz.: Elevation
of body temperature, loss of appetite
and rumination, dullness, and difficult
breathing.
The best method of handling is to
burn or bury deeply the carcasses of
dead animals, disinfect the spots where
they died, remove healthy stock from
infected pustures and vaccinate the
susceptible cattle.
CARING FOR DAIRY VESSELS
Wash With Hot Water Into Which
Some Good Alkaline Powder Has
Been Added—Avoid Soap.
Wash all dairy vessels in warm wa
ter first, then in water as hot as the
hands will stand. Into this hot water
put some good alkaline wash powder.
•Do not use soap, it may leave a
taste.
PLOW GARDEN PATCH IN FALL
Land So Treated Will Stand Much Wet
Weather Next Spring—Light Soil
Likely to Drift.
Plow all poorly drained or heavy
gardens and potato patches In the fall.
Land sc plowed will stand much more
wet weather the next spring than
spring plowed soil.
It Is seldom a good plan to plow
light soil In the fall especially in re
gions where the wind is likely to cause
the land to drift
CARE OF WIRE CUTS
AND OTHER INJURIES
Practical and Timely Hints Given
by an Expert of Missouri
College of Agriculture.
(By L. S. BACKUS, Missouri College of
Agriculture.)
First aid is most important.
Quick healing leaves smaller scars.
Don't use dust or lime to stop bleed
ing.
Bleeding that can be stopped with
powders will soon stop itself anyhow.
Frequent washing irritates wounds,
prevents prompt healing and may
cause proud flesh.
Small concealed stab wounds
such ns those from nails are the most
likely to cause death. Find them and
keep them clean and well disinfected.
Swab out deep cuts with pure tinc
ture of iodine as soon as it can be
Secured and they will take care of
themselves then if the normal pus dis
charge is removed.
A long continued discharge from a
wound indicates an abcess pocket, a
bone injury, or the presence of a snag
or something else that should not be
in the wound. Call a veterinarian.
As soon as bleeding has been
stopped, wash the wound with a pint
of warm water to which two teaspoon
fuls of creolin, ‘ lysol, carbolic acid,
<>r some similar disinfectant has beer
added.
A wound should be healed In about
three weeks. If it is doing well, the
swelling will gradually go down, and
the discharge will be odorless, thin,
and bloody at first, and thicker and
whiter later.
Antitoxin will prevent lockjaw after
nail or other puncture wounds. If not
so prevented, very few of the lockjaw
cases ever recover. The hard crust
lime forms over the surface of a wound
favors lockjaw by shutting out the
air.
Bleeding from a leg can always be
stopped by tying a small rope loosely
about the wound, then twisting it with
a stick or small rod. Tighten till bleed
ing stops. Apply bandages and re
move the cord if possible. If band
ages c-aunot be applied, prevent serl- ;
ous bleeding by pressing the fingers
against the cut blood vessels until a
veterinarian can be called.
STUDY THE MARKET
DEMANDS CAREFULLY
Farmer Must Strive to Produce
Only Best Animals and Meet
Needs of Consumer.
(By S. T. SIMPSON, Missouri College of
Agriculture.)
We must study the market demands
and select good sires of the types that
will enable us to meet them. If we
find that the butcher or packer likes
an animal of extreme beef type be
cause that animal yields a high per- !
centage of the high-priced cuts, the
sires must be selected accordingly. If
we find that the horse buyer takes the
big, drafty, sound horse in preference J
to the chunk when his order calls for
horses for heavy work, we must secure '
sires that will get colts of that type,
if we ship or sell to a market which
demands bacon hogs, then the boar
should be the best obtainable Indi
vidual of a bacon breed which is In '
good demand In that market.
In any case, we must strive to pro
duce only the best animals and to be
sure that they are uniformly good and
that there are among them no mis
fits or inferior specimens which do not
meet the consumers’ needs.
Selecting Breeding Stock. . I
In selecting breeding stock, the rec
ords of the near ancestors are the
ones to be studied most closely. The
more remote the ancestor, the less Its 1
influence on the Individual.
Wheat Bran for Chicks.
Give the young growing fowls all
the pure wheat bran they wljl con
sume.
Fatherly Pigeon.
The older a male pigeon grows the
more fatherly be becomes.

“Well,” said Nancy, “I think I would
like to hear a Story about an Animal.”
“Ah! I have Just the one then,”
said Daddy, so he commenced his

Marjorie had to

again. Kitty did

jorie’s Motlier and Teacher did. Even
Marjorie, herself, thought it would
make her learn her Lessons more
quickly—because then she would get
through and have her Kitty to play
with.
“Half the Morning had gone by and |
the Childreu were having their read
ing Lessons. Marjorie was reading, !
‘“The Cat sat on the Floor in front
of the Fire.’
“ ‘Me-ow. meow,' cried Kitty—for lie
had followed Marjorie anil unseen by
anyone hud walked into the School.
“'Is that a Cat?’ asked the Teacher.
“ ‘Me-ow,’ the Cut answered quite
plainly.
“ ‘It isn't my Cat.’ said Marjorie, i
for mine always wears a little Bell, !
and he can't move without it jingling.
We gave it to him partly to make him !
happy and because lie couldn't catch •
Birds then.’
“‘I thought I heard a Cat,’ said tin
Teacher, 'but now I don't. Look j
around Children and see if you can
find one.’
“All the Children looked and not a
Cat was to be seen. For Kitty had
hidden himself in a great Box filled
with wood at one end of the Room,
and had moved so as not to ring his
Bell!
“The Lessons went on and the Cat
was forgotten about. It was not long ;
before a strange smell of smoke filled
the Room and the Teacher and Pupils
soon became very nervous.
“They looked all over to see if some- j
thing could be> burning and then the ,
sounds from Kitty came again.
“ 'Me-ow, meow, meow,’ he wailed, j
and his Bell jingled from his Neck. j
Oh, such cries of terror!
“ ‘That's Kitty,’ shouted Marjorie, j
‘Oh, oh, I do hope nothing's happened !
to him. Where can he be?'
“And still the cries came—and they |
sounded queer and muffled.
“ ‘I've found him!’ shouted Mar- -
jorie, ‘and. look!’ She gasped in hor- j
ror.
“They pulled Kitty out—but a Fire j
had started in the Wood Box—and
that was where the smell of burning
was coming from.
“The Janitor of the School came
rushing in with Pails of Water and
quickly put out the F*re.
“‘We would never have known
where the Fire was,’ said Marjorie
proudly, ‘if it hadn't been for my Kit
ty.' And she hugged Kitty tightly, who
had not been hurt but only very much
frightened.
" Ana it s tne
first time a Cat
has come t o
School,’ said the
Teacher, ‘that
has been a help
to me—and if Kit
ty will behave
like this and keep
quiet unless there

unless we talk
about Cats—h e

School each day.'

saved the School, for he rang his Hell
in time before the Fire had become
well started. He’s a pretty fine ani
mal. He knows when to ring that lit
tle jingle of his, and when not to!’
“And after that, Marjorie and Kitty
came to School together each day,
ind Kitty slept in the Wood Box.
“No more strange Fires broke out
ind Kitty kept his Bell quiet.
“But whenever he heard the Chil
Jren talk about Cats he said, ‘Me-ow,
ne-ow,’ for he wanted to let them all

them know that that wasn’t the rea

ECONOMY IN NOME
MANY WAYS IN WHICH MONEY
MAY BE SAVED.
Substitutes for Expensive Meats and
Other Table Furnishings Are Pos
sible, and Health of the Fam
ily Will Be improved.
By Nellie Maxwell. Department of
Farmers' Institutes ot the University of
Wisconsin.
We all know, if we have given the
■subject any thought that the feesling
if the family is the most expensive
•tern in the list of household accounts.
Every housewife should keep a care
ful account of her income and outgo.
Too many of us are like the young
bride who was given a set of books
in which to keep her accounts and
when asked by her husband at the end
of the month if her accounts balanced,
showed him the book, on one page was
written. “Received of John, sixty dol
lars,” on the opposite page these
words “spent it ail.”
Since tiie cost of living is constantly
advancing it is vitally necessary that
real concern he paid to reducing cer
tain items of expenditure, and as
meat is one of the most expensive of
our foods, any economy in the pur
chase of it will make a noticeable re
duction in the food bill.
By using meat substitutes of cheese, I
nuts, milk and eggs which are less ex- j
pensive but fully as nutritious, the ex- '
penses may be reduced. Cheese has a
food value of twice that of meat pound
for pound, and can he used with much
less waste. The use of cheese in com
bination with milk and eggs makes a
most satisfactory substitute for meat.
The cheaper cuts of meat may be
utilized more often and on the farm
all kinds of meat may be salted,
pifkled, canned or dried for future use.
So that in time of plenty prepare for
the famine. I’ork sausage, fried to
scar both sides of small cakes, packed j
in large jars and covered with the |
boiling hot fat so that it makes a per- j
feet seal over the sausage will keep
to use in midsummer and is a constant '
source of satisfaction for it is so easy <
to get it ready for breakfast as it '
needs but little more cooking. Chick- j
on may be canned when too much is
• ooked and set away for another time
when an emergency calls it forth.
The utilizing of left-overs in the
planning of the meals is another im
portant point for the housewife to con
sider. It goes without saying that she j
plans her menus days ahead in order j
to save expense and use these left- j
overs acceptably.
Fruits and vegetables lend them
selves to all sorts bf combinations as
salads and soups, and make dishes j
that are tasty and wholesome.
The costly habit of eating more than
we need is not only wasteful of mate
rial, bad on the complexion, but vast
ly more important, ruinous to the
digestive organs. Preparing more
food than is used, paring away vege
tables and fruits, cooking vegetables
in so much water that much of the
food value is wasted, throw!rig away
the trimmings and bones of meat, that
would make good broths, stews ot
soups—these are some of the wastes
that need to be watched. Constant
vigilance is the price of success in ex
penditures as in other things.
Lemon Preserve.
Peel and cut one dozen lemons In
slices and soak for a day in cold wa
ter. Then boil four pounds of sugar
and a cupful of water for about twenty
minutes and stir to keep from burning
Next add the lemons, some chopped
raisins and almonds and let thicken
slowly. This is a delicious and new
filling for sandwiches to serve with
Iced tea or lemonade on a warm after
noon.
To keep lemons fresh, put a layer ol
fine dry sand at the bottom of a large
earthen jar. Place on this a layer of
lemons, stalk end downward, being
careful that they do not touch one an
other. Cover these with a three-inch
layer of sand. Add another layer ol
lemons, and so on until the jar is full.
In a cool, dry place lemons packed like
this will keep a year.
Some Favorite Potato Recipes.
Potatoes Fried Whole—When nearly
boiled enough, put small potatoes into
a saucepan with butter or beef drip
pings. 'Shake them about to prevent
burning until they are brown and
crisp. Drain them from the fat. It
wilf be an improvement if they art
floured, dipped in beaten egg and rolled
in fine bread crumbs and then friend.
Potatoes for Breakfast—Cut cold
boiled potatoes in slices lengthwise, dip
them in beaten egg and put on a but
tered pie plate in the oven. As soon af
they are brown and hot, serve.
Cucumber Sandwiches.
One cupful cream whipped stiff, one
small cucumber cut very line, three tea
spoonfuls powdered gelatin, salt to
taste, also parika to taste, five table
spoonfuls vinegar. Soak gelatin in as
little cold water as possible and dilute
n as little hot water as possible. Mix
together and set on Ice to cool. Then
spread on thin slices of bread.
Pickled Beet Root.
Two beet roots, pepper, salt and ^
finegar. Wash the beet root, taking !
'are not to break the surface. Bake
n a slow oven for about three hours !
A hen cold peel and slice thin, sprinkle 1
vlth pepper and salt, pour over a little j
rinegar. I.eave for n few hours before
serving.
Keeping Pongee Like New
Wash pongee in a warm smls ul
rtinte soap and hang in the sun until
bone dry. Then iron on the wrong
side without sprinkling.
To Prevent Cakes Burning.
Sprinkle the bottom of the oven with
fine, dry salt to prevent cakes, pies
md other pastry from burning on the
bottom.
Washing Comforters.
When washing summer comforters
J\n«l w?nS them. Let them hang
ind drip from the line. Then before
they are quite dry whip with a bente
