" ! ' mrm A.miMUJk fSOH MLztfr Have a wire screen for each crock so as to "air the cream" and keep out flies and insects. Give your neighbor a lift when you find a good chance, and you will find he will be glad to help you out some time. The farmer who is always finding fault with- the weather has a most uncomfortable time of it. and it doesn't help him in the least in overcoming the conditions. Provide shade for the chickens. And be sure that they have fresh water at all times. Do not let their drinking dish be so placed as to catch the hot sun all day, and do not let it become foul. Better lighted farm houses, music and inviting reading matter on the sitting room table have done much to solve the problem of keeping the boys on the farm. Make home attrac tive, and don't crowd the work too hard. It is safe to say that in every dairy where record is not kept and the farmer does not know what the indi vidual cow is doing that there are cows which are robbing their own ers right along. It will pay the farm er to know what each animal is do ing for him. Why milk and feed an unprofitable cow? A one-quarter-inch rope is large enough in throwing a cow if it is used properly. The animal to be thrown is confined by the head, one end of the rope tied to the horns .or about the :neck. a half-hitch taken about the ani mal's body just back of the fore legs, and another just in front of the hind legs. Then by simply pulling on the .rope and tightening the half hitches, the animal will go down. Try it once and see how easy the cow falls. The practice of dipping animals to rid them of vermin is coming to be more general en the farm. Sheep dipped as often and as thoroughly as they should be, are very little troubled by scab, mange and like diseases. The external parasites are much more easily combatted than are the internal ones. In general, keeping the sheep under the most sanitary conditions, and in the best state of health possi ble, and applying externally and in ternally, medicines detrimental to the growth of parasites, will even in this day and age when parasites are nu merous, result in keeping a flock free enough from them so that good profits can be made. The man who is will ing to exert himself a little along these lines need not fear to enter upon the sheep business nor continue in it. Indeed in spite of its drawbacks, there is no other business that can be conducted upon a similar capital that will return as large profits if only it is properly handled. If willing to wage your share of the conflict, let not the fear of invading hosts of para sites deter you from sheep growing. The method of a New Zealand dairy man, Mr. John Saxon, expert in rais ing calves, will prove of interest to American dairymen. He says: When calves are put on half new and half factory milk they should then have a small allowance of boiled linseed When boiled for half an hour the seed should be strained away before mix ing the liquor with the milk, as the seeds tend to irritate a young calfs intestines. Boiled linseed was much used in England GO years ago, and the calves reared on whey and boiled lin seed grew into first-class cattle. But they must be carefully attended to when young, and be sure they have a paddock of clean grass to run in. This I consider one of the chief things in rearing calves. My reason for ad vocating careful attendance is this: If I see any tendency to bad scour I scald one teaspoonful of dried blood for each calf and mix the same with the milk. Usually a marked difference fs seen after the first dose, and they seldom require more than the second dose. But should the scour come on again, I repeat the dose. I am a be liever in dried blood, and always keep 'it on hand. Here are some rules to remember in the care of cream: Keep the separa tor in a clean place, free from dust and odors and where there is good circulation of air. It goes without saying, of course, that the separator itself must be kept scrupulously clean. Cream testing to SO per cent, of fat will keep better, that is, not sour asi quickly as thinner cream, and will be better from a buttermilk standpoint There is the further advantage that more skim milk will be retained on the farm. The cream should be cooled to at least 50 degrees immediately aft er separation, and then kept cool un til called for by cream hauler, or un til time for churning, when of course ''temperature should be raised to 60 de grees. The cream from each milking should be thoroughly cooled before be ing added to that from previous milk ings. The cream should be delivered to the creameries in a sweet condi tion. If the preceding cannot be strictly enforced, it is advisable to have the cream delivered in an indi vidual can. The buttermaker would then, have the opportunity of reject ing cream unfit for the making of firt-class butter, or of giving instruc tions for its Improvement, and in that respect be placed on even terms with his brother buttermakers in a whole milk; creamery. Know what your -cows are doing and then get rid of the unprofitable ones. You cannot afford to stint the ra tion as long as there is good market for the products. The silo enables the farmer to carry more head of stock than he other wise would be able to .do. Look ahead and remember to pro vide wife with plenty of help for har vest time which is surely coming. The manure heap 4s not the farmer's bank unless he gets it out on the land. Then it returns good Inter est. Keep the cultivator going in the corn. The yield will ba increased, and when the droughty comes it will not easily affect the crop. With the garden well started, the outlook is bright for the family table this summer. Glad now of the work you put in on it, ain't you? In the presence of high-priced wheat it is comforting to remember that "rye and Injun meal" isn't at all bad and makes good bone and muscle. Have a place for the tools and see that they are put in their places after you have done using them. Many a precious moment is wasted on the farm by failure to observe this good rule. Make successive plantings of corn up to the last of June to keep a supply of green food for the cows, and so you will not have to break into the silo supply until the winter is fairly on us again. If the little chicks appear mopy, look for head lice. If you find them infested apply coal oil to the head not too much and you will find that your chicks will brighten up and prove more thrifty. Tile-drained soil is more profitable, being more quickly gotten Into condi tion for crops and insuring a better condition all through the growing sea son. It is also true that crops in drained soil do not suffer as much from drought as do crops in un drained soil. If you have much clover hay to handle, provide yourself with a sup ply of hay caps made of canvas and use them in covering the hay during the curing process. This will enable you to put the hay into the barn in perfect keeping condition and will more than save you the price of the hay caps. Smear the noses of the sheep with tar to prevent the attack of the fly which lays the eggs from which the grubs that cause all the trouble are hatched. The sheep will tar their own noses if you take a log and bore two inch auger holes in it. Place in the holes salt and smear the edges with tar. When the sheep go after the salt they will get the tar on their noses. You can get rid of plant lice that suck the juices out of the plants by syringing or sprinkling them with to bacco water, made by soaking the stems or leaves till about the color of strong tea. Apply it just as the buds are coming. Dust the rose leaves on the under as well as the upper side with ashes or air-shaked lime, to de stroy the green worms which skeleton ize the leaves. Manure on the udder and hind quarters of the cows is not only un sightly but unsanitary both for the cows and for those who use the milk produced from such animals. There are several devices for preventing a cow from lying down in her own filth. The most common is the gutter be hind the animal for receiving the dronnines. Another plan is to place a two-by-four plank across the stall at the rear about even with the cow's hind feet. When she lies down she will always lie in front of this board where the droppings fall. The' floor should slope from front to back. The Tennessee experiment station is the latest institution to make a test of what the milking machines will do, and the following is the sum mary of its investigation: 1- Under the conditions existing during the test at the station, machine-milking has been at least equal, if not slightly superior, to hand-milking. 2. Under average conditions a cow is milked as clean with the machine as by hand. An expert operator can milk cleaner with the machine than the average man will by hand. 3. If the teat cups and mouth pieces are properly adjusted, the machine is not injuri ous to the teats and udder or objec tionable to the cows, some even pre ferring Jt. 4. The machines are, not difficult' to- keep clean and a high grade of milk is secured when ma chines are used. If neglected, how ever, they soon become filthy 3nd are a serious source of contamination. 5. One man running two machines is nearly equal to two hand-millers. There is a great difference between the number of cows different men will milk per hour. To secure thor ough milking and rapid work, the operator should follow the machines closely to see that each cow is milk ing properly. 6. Successful milking with machines depends upon the prop er fitting of cups and mouthpieces, the operator being sure that each teat is milking before going to the next cow, and thorough manipulation of the udder before removal of the ma chine. In many cases it is necessary to use a smaller sized teatcup during advanced stages of lactation than when the cow is fresh. 7. The opera tor should be above the average farm laborer in intelligence and mechan ical skill. 8. Troubles that occur in operating are due more to misuse than to any fault of the machine. 9. Some cows give more milk by machine-milking and others less. Pre sent knowledge indicates that ma chine milking is as efficient as hand milking under average conditions. A great deal better yields by machine could be secured if the herd were se; lected for uniform teats of good size.

"Vanishing Fleets." a story of "what miKht have happened." opens in Wash ington with the United States and Japan near war. Guy Miller, secretary of the Britisli embassy, and Miss Norma Rob erts, chief aide o Inventor Roberts, are introduced as lovers. Japan declares war and takes the Philippines. Guy Hillier starts for England. Norma Roberts leaves Washington for the Florida coast. Hawaii is captured by the Japs. All ports are closed. Tokyo learns of missing Jap anese fleet and whole world becomes con vinced that United States has powerful war agency. Kngland decides to send a fleet to American waters as a Canadian protection against what the Rritish sup pose is a terrible submarine flotilla. Hil lier is sent with a message. Fleet mys teriously disappears. The kaiser is miss ills'. King Edward of England is con fronted bv Admiral Bevins of the United States. The Dreadnaught. biggest of Eng land's warships, is discovered at an im passable point in the Thames. The story now goes back to a time many months before the war breaks out. and Inventor Roberts visits the president and cabinet, telling of and x!iiblting a metal produc tion. This overcomes friction when elec trified and is to be applied to vessels. Roberts evolves a great flying machine. Tlse cabinet plans a radioplane war against Japanese. The start is made for the scene of conflict. The Japanese fleet, believing Nippon supreme, suddenly dis cerns the radioplane fleet. After maneu vering the airships descend, and by use of strong magnets lift the warships, one by one. from the sea. The vessels are deposited in a mountain lake in the United States to await peace. The Brit ish fleet accepts American hospitality and is conveyed to the United States by the wingless terrors. To show the kaiser their wonderful invention, that rular is taken on a long trip his first visit to America. thus accounting for his invs terious disappearance from Berlin. The radioplane breaks down. King Edward is brought to America on a radioplane. CHAPTER XXI. Continued. The waning moon lighted up the quiet reaches far beneath, and out lined in diminutive spectral shapes the fleet of anchored ships. The great machine swooped lower until they could descry the telescoped funnels, from whose ragged mouths came no curl of smoke, and the bared decks whose lengths were paced only by men of the watch. Aside from these there was no sign of life. A mighty squadron, bereft of power, floating on still waters beneath 'a dying moon! If America wished to prove her su premacy, the lesson was complete. The royal shoulders outlined against the light of the port gave one great shudder of sorrow, and turned away. When the shutters closed and the lights returned, the king was resting his brow upon his hand, the lord of the admiralty was standing with tight ly clasped hands, and the prime min ister was leaning with folded arms against the polished frame of the port through which he had viewed Briton's vanquished pride. "If your majesty pleases," the voice of the American admiral-' broke into the quietude, "I have promised to land Miss Roberts and Admiral Fields be fore our return. With your consent we shall stop in the place chosen for all our visits to Washington, in the outskirts." The monarch still thinking of the silent fleet, assented, and the radio plane swept downward at a" tangent to the lonely field. Again the lights went out, the port opened, and the slight shock of landing was felt Al most instantly a man in uniform stood before it and saluted the admiral, who started back in surprise. "A message for you, sir, from the president and secretary of the navy, with requests that it be opened and read immediately," the officer an nounced. Bevins returned to the light of hood and read: "Kindly report to the White House Immediately upon arrival. In case his majesty, the king of England, has returned with you. which we earnest ly hope is the case, present to him the hearty goctf will of the president and people of the United States of America, and extend to him our urgent invitation either to accompany you, with those who may be his com panions, or await the return of a com mittee of invitation and reception which will wait upon him as soon as it becomes definitely known that he is with you. "In case he did not accompany you on your return, it will be necessary for j'ou to return to London at once. Inviting him to a conference of great Importance, which is occasioned by the exigencies of events which have taken place to-night. In any case you will report to us immediately for In structions." Puzzled by this explicit message, Bevins paused for a moment, with his brows drawn down in thought, and then returned to the drawing room, where a shaded light rested in the cen ter of the table round which his guests were seated. With a brief ex planation he handed the order to the king, who calmly placed his glasses upon his high, fine nose, leaned across the table, and perused it Everything of the night was strange and unusual. A few-hours ago he had gone to a theater to rest his nerves, and here he was across the Atlantic, informally, and learning new lessons or receiving astounding revelations with each beat of time. He had gone thus far, and would go through, to the end, and would go informally. "We prefer to accompany you," was all the reply he made, and the party filed out into the night, where two big automobiles brought for this very emergency wera in waiting. They whirled away to ther White House, where they were met in the blue room by the "president and his immediate advisers. The king himself established the basis of etiquette by extending his hand to the president and his com panions. He assumed no deportment Ql royalty: but as the first gentleman iMlWJM- mmmmmmm "A Message for You, Sir, from the of England greeted the first gentle man of America. "Your majesty." the president be gan, "the time is at hand when the United States has no further object in concealing the power at her com mand; the sole cause of concealment that of meeting the Chinese fleet, hav ing been nullified by the action of that country itself. China has broken her alliance with'" Japan, is ready to make such overtures as we wish for peace, and is dispersing her fleet." The president paused for a moment, and looked at those around him. The king, steadily watching him, was im pressed with his simple dignity, and read aright the great and high pur pose that shone in his eyes. Once more he resumed: "It has. come to this issue, your majesty, much sooner than I had ex pected; but events which make for war and peace move fast. They are in the hands of God Almighty, and not of rulers. I desired this inter view, because you can assist me in what I have to do, and for which I believe I am a mere instrument in the hands of a power before whom all must bow." "And I am honored," the sovereign instantly responded. With his officials he was conducted to the president's private apartments, where they were followed by the sec retary of state and the secretary of the navy. The king looked round the room, which he had entered on but one other occasion, long years before, when as a prince and without hope of a throne he had been received by a former president of the United States. How many men had occupied it since then, and how few of them had left any great individual mark on the world's history! He took the proffered seat and waited for the pres ident to speak, only half compre hending that he was entering upon one of the most important conferences that the world had ever known. "Your majesty and gentlemen," the president began in his low, finely modulated voice, "I told you I wished your assistance. I need more than that; I want your advice. I have been a man with a dream, and that you may know how much it has meant to me, I must tell you something of my self. I come of a race that for genera tions has given its blood for country. It was almost obliterated in the wars of the revolution.and of 1812. In the great civil war there were five men in my family, a father and four older brothers, the youngest a mere lad, who went to war as volunteers. Some of them never returned. My father was brought back shattered by suf fering to die in my mother's arms. The lad that had gone out with his drum came back to drag out only a few wretched months of suffering. "My home was on the borderland, where men fought backward and for ward across our fields." He paused for a moment as if the memory of his childhood was too bitter for recapitu lation, then went bravely on: "In those years the sight of ghastly wounds and cruel death was before me sometimes daily, but never far re moved. When peace came there was nothing left to my mother but her ravaged farm, her bitter poverty, and her one boy. Oh, it was a nightmare, gentlemen, that never dimmed. - It was a memory that never left me, as, hard working, poorly clad and some times hungry. I grew to manhood. My mother went, as did thousands of other widows made by war, to an President and Secretary of the Navy." early grave, prematurely worn out by work and grief." The floodgates were down at last. His repression was going, and he rose to his feet bsliind his desk trem bling in every fiber, and with white, quivering lips. In the stillness of the room he stood thus for an instant; then his teeth suddenly came together with a click and his fist; came down upon the table in one quick, hard blow of emphasis. "Do you wonder," he said, "that I swore to give my life to peace? Is it strange that I who have suffered have taken unusual means to keep others from suffering as I and mine have? I have invited you here not as the president of a nation, but as man to men to help me put an end to war!" Every word of his final declaration was bitten off with sharp emphasis and accentuated by a fist which beat time. The king was suddenly con scious that he had leaned forward In his chair so far that nothing but the tense grip of his hands upon the arms had held him down. In all his years he had witnessed no such scene of emotion as this, nor heard a more earnest appeal. The president, as if regretting his lack of control, settled wearily into his seat. He had said things in a way that in any other man would have been undignified: but he, inspired by the grandeur of his purpose, failed to realize that an angel with a flaming sword could scarcely have been more impressive. He had been addressing no ordinary audience. Before him was an august nilei, but more than that, a great man. And in the hush which followed, the sovereign rose from his seat, stepped across to the desk, and for oae of the few times in his life gave untrammeled vent to his feelings as a man. He put his hand out across the polished mahog any top as the tall form of the presi dent straightened up. Their hands met in one strong grip of understand ing, and they looked squarely into each other's eyes", reading, compre hending, and binding themselves to gether in a common purpose for hu manity. It was not the etiquette which de mands that all men shall stand when a king is on his feet that brought the others from their chairs, erect, breathless and motionless. It was rather the impulsive respect and veneration due to two great minds which before their very eyes were entering an unwritten compact for a high and noble cause. Once more they took their seats; but now by the subtle alchemy of hu manity they drew their chairs to gether. They were no longer rulers and subjects. Englishmen and Amer icans, but men inspired with mag nanimity toward all their fellow be ings. They were on a Godlike plane reasoning out momentous plans in volving the nations of the world and all mankind. From their combined fund of knowledge they evolved meth ods which were- to strengthen the weak and put in leash the strong. AH reckoning of time was lost in this review of what had been accomplished and what was to be done. The night paled, the sun crept up; the lights of the darkness were extin guished, and the day advanced with out their heeding it. The last tenta tive clause was signed, and each knew the part which his country must play. Again they were all upon their feet, looking into one another's faces and abruptly conscious of weari- nessNand relaxation. Too overcome to resume their homeward journey, the visitors accepted the hospitality of the White House for a few hours' rest, and staggered to their rooms.. Once, more than a hundred years before, an unwise king had caused a war between brothers which had sent them on diverse paths. Each had prospered but held aloof. And now after all this time a wiser king had proffered his hand, and the brothers were to be friends again in truth, and were to travel side by side unto the end. CHAPTER XXII. Lights in the Night That night for the first time a radio plane flew through the air from Wash ington to New York, where it came to earth in a portion of Central Park adjacent to one of the most exclusive hotels. It was not late in the evening; but while it did not court discovery neither did it use any great endeavor to avoid it. Those aboard had only one wish, which was to avoid the gath ering of a crowd. The machine was the Roberts, conveying the king 'and his counselors for a short interview v.-ith the higher officers of the British fleet. They had bade good-by to the man in the White House, who was henceforth to hold a place in their strongest admiration and friendship, and were now preparing for their homeward journey. The park entrances had been closed in advance, and the public debarred from its paths, hence there was no demonstration when the party stepped out of the craft and took seats in a motor car which had been awaiting their arrival. Onljthe secretary of state and Bevins accompanied them as escorts to the glaring entrance of the hotel, and even the august clerks were unaware of the identity of their visitors. With polite insolence the party was directed to a parlor until the manager could be summoned, and he on being informed that the king wished to meet his officers at once, conducted them to the elevator which carried them upward. By requisition of the government the entire top floor had been given up to the accommodation of the Brit ish guests, and with them on this night as entertainers were many of the higher officers of the American navy who throughout the war had been forced to rest in idleness. The realization that their days of seafar ing were nearly at an end had not come to them with full force, and all within the extemporized naval club were simply awaiting and hoping for orders which would put an end to In activity. Beneath the shaded lights of the ceiling were many tables, at some of which men in fatigue uniforms were being initiated into an American game which seemed to find favor, while at others spirited discussions were being held. Wreaths of smoke curling up to meet the lights added to the air of informality, and a burst of laughter in one corner of the room indicated the success of some racon teur. The door swung open noiseless ly, and on its threshold stood one who looked smilingly at the idle veterans of two nations. He steed thus for an instant before the crusty old Scotch r admiral known to his fellows as "Jim my" Earr lifted his eyes in the direc tion of the door. His mouth opened iu astonishment beneath its bearding of red. and his sharp oyes frowned as he peered across the shoulder of the man opposite, and then, with one hur ried leap he gained his feet, upset ting his chair in his ha3te. His heel3 came together, and his arm was raised in salute as he exclaimed loudly: "Gentlemen, the king!" Instantly those in the room looked at the admiral and then at the en trance. There was the muffled sound of chairs hastily shoved across the carpeted floor, startled exclamations, and a hurried rising. Two score of hands came to the salute, and a dra matic moment followed in which their owners strove to gather their wits. It was almost unbelievable that their sovereign was before them. The king looked at them gravely, and then took a few steps forward, and his companions followed. He stopped almost in front of Barr, and slowly raised his hand, with open fingers in a gesture which combined greeting 'and a demand for attention. He. -wasted neither time nor word3. "My men," he said. "I have come from a conference with his excellen cy, the president of the United States. Its results will be made known to you within the course of a few days at the most, or hours at the least. I have come to sayJo you that in sub mitting yourselves to an invincible power for reasons which you could not fathom you acted wisely and now have our full approval." (TO BE CONTINUED.) To Keep Flies Outside. For those who object to wire netting in the windows during the summer, a new idea has been found to prevent flies and such annoying pests from entering the house. This new pre ventative is a window-box of mignon ette. It seems that the insects do not care to face the odor of this charming flower, so that It is an effectual bar rier against their invasion. It sounds like a very pretty idea, and we may ex pect to see ugly wire screens entirely discarded and the windows decorated with dainty boxes filled with the sweet blossoms.

"Thin," she went on, "Ol wint to th big place 'round the strate." The only "big place" near was a plant for the manufacture of steam engines, and I wondered. "But what made you go to the loco motive works?" I asked. "Well, ma'am, shure an ain't me old man got locomotive taxes?" New York Telegram. ASK FATHER. Clergyman What would your fa ther say if he saw you digging for worm3 on Sunday? Willie I don't know; but I know what he'd say if I did not dig for.them. That's him fishing over there." No Butler for Pneuritch. "We'll have to get a butler, yon know," said Mra. Pneuritch. "What for?" asked Mr. Pneuritch. "Well, to look after the wine cellar, and" "Not much, Priscilla! I'm capable of looking after the booze myself." "A butler lends dignity to an estab lishment, too." "Well, when I get so hard up for dignity that I have to borrow It from a butler. I'll quit and go back to tht retail grocery business. You manage the hired girls, Priscilla, and I'll at tend to running the man part of this shebang." Laundry work at home would be uuch more satisfactory if the right starch were used. In order to get the desired stiffness, it is usually neces sary to use so much starch that the beauty and fineness of the fabric is hidden behind a paste of varying th'ickness, which not only destroys the appearance.-but also affects the wear ing quality of the goods. This trou ble can be entirely overcome by using Defiance Starch, as it can be applied much more thinly because of its great er strength than other makes. Many Seekers of the Pols. Canada, Denmark. France. Ger many. England. Russia, Sweden and the United States were. In 190S, repre sented among the 12 expeditions which were struggling toward the pole. Eight leaders were veterans Peary and Cook of the United States. Bernier of Canada, Erichsen and Ras mussen of Denmark. Charcot ot France, Shackleton of England and Geer of Sweden. The extraordinary popularity of fine white goods this summer makes the choice of Starch a matter of great im portance. Defiance Starch, being free from all injurious chemicals, is the only one which is safe to use on fine fabrics. It great strength as a stiffen er makes half the usual quantity of Starch necessary, with the result oi perfect finish, equal to that when the goods were new. Dodging Responsibility. "Why should a man pay rent when he can own his own home?" said the thrifty citizen. "I don't know," answered Mr. Meek ton, "unless it's because you'd rather have your wife speak her mind to the Iandloard than to you when the place gets run down."
