Although it is no longer possi
ble for a man to conduct an agri
cultural paper without some
knowledge of farming many farm
ers who reside in cities or who
learned the practical side of the
business in boyhood by ming
ling with farmers at institutes
conventions etc such editors
keep up the appearance of famil
iarity with the farm topics yet
their writings do not smell of the
soil and cannot be as valuable
as if from the pen of an actual
farmer Recognizing this fact
The Iowa Homestead of Des
Moines la has long made it a
rule to have its editors reside
upon and operate their own farms
enabling them to combine practice
with precept Its departments
too are conducted by active
farmers and its special articles are
by successful farmers The Iowa
Homestead holds a high place in
the esteem of the farmers of Red
Willow county and we are glad
to announce that by special ar
rangement The Tribune is able
to offer this fine farm paper in
combination with our own at a
very attractive price Let us
order it for you

The
Food Value
of a Soda Cracker
You have heard that some foods furnish fat
other foods make muscle and still others are
tissue building and heat forming
You know that most foods have one or more
of these elements but do you know that no
food contains them all in such properly balanced
proportions as a good soda cracker
The United States Government report shows
that soda crackers contain less water are richer
in the muscle and fat elements and have a much
higher per cent of the tissue building and heat
forming properties than any article of food made
from flour
That is why Uneeda Biscuit should
form an important part of every meal They
represent the superlative of the soda cracker all
their goodness and nourishment being brought
from the oven to you in a package that is proof
against air moisture and dust the price being
too small to mention

AN EMPERORS TASTE
ft VVaa the Orlfflu of a Commoa Sar
ins I11 Austria
An anecdote which was current of
Fer3lnand I of Austria at one time
greatly delighted his subjects ami gave
rise to a common saying One sum
mer day he was hunting iu the Syrian
mountains and was overtaken by u
violent thunderstorm He sought ref
uge In a farmhouse whose occupant1
were just then at dinner and his fan
cy was caught by some smoking dump
lings made of coarse Hour He tasted
them liked them and asked for more
and when he got to Vienna to the hor
ror of the royal cooks he ordered tlu
same dumplings to be served up daily
The courtiers were scandalized that
such a coarse dish should tigure on
the menu and even hi3 jhyscinns re
monstrated against the use of such
food
The emperor had always been tho
most pliant of men but he now show
ed that he had a will of his own and
persisted In gratifying his new fancy
Finally the physicians pretended that
It was dangerous to his health to be
living on dumplings and insisted on his
giving them up The hitherto docile
sovereign stamped his foot and de
clared that lie would never sign anoih
er official document if his diet were
denied him
Emperor I am he shouted and
dumplings I will have
To prevent a stoppage of the govern
ment machinery opposition was with
drawn and his majesty clung tena
ciously to his dumplings Then the im
perial phrase became proverbial aul
thereafter when any one insisted a
gratifying a silly whim some one was
sure to say
Emperor I am and dumplings I will
have
RELATING TO IRON
Discovery of the Metal Accordlnpr to
VarlouH Authorities
The Bible speaks of Tubal Cain as
the discoverer of iron and the father
of smiths The Egyptians Imputed to
Hephaestus the same honor while Pli
ny mentions it having been discovered
by Dactyleo on Mount Ida after the
forests on the mountain side had been
destroyed by lightning This was abort
1432 years B C Jeremiah and Eze
kiel both mention Iron in their Scrip
tural writings the latter specially men
tioning two qualities of the metal and
calling one bright iron which was proh
ably steel
Moses mentions an iron furnace and
Job speaks of it as being taken out of
the earth Thousands of years before
the opening of the Christian era the
Egyptians used iron in making sickles
knives and such things Sparta first
used iron for money Britain also used
It as a medium of barter and exchange
prior to the conquest by the Romans
The Britons before the time of Christ
used to export Iron to Gaul and after
the Roman conquest the conquerors es
tablished extensive smelting works
which existed at least as late as the
Saxon conquest St James Gazette

Conger Eels
Conger eels hunt for the octopus and
when found proceed to browse on its
limbs The octopus tries to hug the j
slippery slimy conger tight but in
vain and finding Its limbs growing
less discharges its ink in the face of
the foe and under cover of the turbid
water beat a hasty retreat It is to
escape the too pressing attention of its
foes that the octopus possesses the
power of changing its color to corre

SYSTEMS OF WRITING
Tlir VaaiOBn Ztirthml Knovru a the
Uuuttrophcitoii
About the year 4o li C tho Ionlana
rirst Introduced the system of writing
from left to right Previous to that
time all scribes aud penmen In general
had been in the habit of beginning the
line on the right hand side of the page
and running it toward the left The
introduction of the left to right mode
of writing caused considerable confu
sion for a time and from the mixed
systems which prevailed during the fol
lowing century sprang the famed meth
od known as the boustrophedon Those
who used the system last mentioned
would begin a line at the left margin
of their parchments and run It through
to the opposite margin and then drop
a space below and run back to the op
posite edge of the sheet again In oth
er words the boustrophedon mode of
writing was a system in which the lines
ran alternately from left to right and
from right to left This system did not
entirely disappear until about tbe time
of Christ The ancient Hebrew aud
Greek languages were written from
right to left but at about the time the
Ionia ns wo e reforming writing meth
ods the Greek letters were changed In
form from the uncial to the cursive
and the sym of writing was changed
in both cases so as to run from left to
right The following quotation from
Franklin Illustrates the mixed or bous
trophedon system of writing

SHOE NAILS
The Way They Arc Made and Why
They Are So Chcnp
Three million separate shoe nails nr
often cast from one ton of metal f
the smaller sizes 2000 nails are mold
ed In a single mold and an expert
workman will make eighty molds in an
ordinary working day thus turning out
IG00O separate nails
When the metal in a liquid state is
poured into the mold it runs through
the sand in passages provided in the
molding process the whole of the nails
are cast together and are when re
moved from the sand connected by a
network of iron one with another In
this condition the iron is as brittle as
glass and very little force is required
to separate the nails from the network
Which holds them together
They then have to undergo the proc
ess known as annealing They are
mixed up with hematite iron ore whicb
is in a powdered state put into iron
pots and placed in an annealing fur
nace a sort of kiln Here they remain
for some days care being taken to so
regulate the heat to which they are
subjected that the iron will not be re
melted but brought very nearly to
that condition The action of the raw
iron ore upon the brittle casting is
marvelous After cooling it can be
bent without risk of breaking and it
becomes a useful and serviceable arti

Buttons
It is only in comparatively modern
times that buttons have been utilized
as fasteners The Greeks and Romans
knew nothing of them and though they
presented themselves as ornaments In
the fourteenth century buttonholes
were still an undreamed of possibility
It was not until nearly the middle of
the eighteerth century that the manu
facture of steel buttons was entered
upon at the ho works in Birming
ham England Then on the accession
of George III the gilt buttons appear
ed and became quite the vogue But it
was reserved for the artisans of our
day to make these useful fasteners in
the greatest variety at marvelously low
prices and out of all sorts of material
even to the seemingly impossible po

Black Snakes
I have never seen black snakes over
seven feet long and much doubt if
they grow to a greater length They
are not hard to catch though in an
open field they can run about as fast
as a man can When caught they
Struggle desperately until they find
there is no opportunity to escape when
they will give up fighting and may be
handled with impunity I have never
found these snakes to be vicious They
can be handled easily and their bite is
harmless They can squeeze pretty
hard if they get a turn around your
waist but not hard enough to break a
bone Forest and Stream
The Calm Spirit
The people in all lines of duty who
do the most work are the calmest
most unhurried people in the com
munity Duties never wildly chase
each other in their lives One task nev
er turns another out nor ever compels
hurried and therefore imperfect do
ing The calm spirit works methodical
ly doing one thing at a time and doing
it well and it therefore works swiftly
though never appearing to be In haste
