Many a spoiled boy ' has devel
oped into a fresh man.
Some people's specialty is pour
ing ice water on enthusiasm.
It's hard for a man to face the
world if he is flat on his back.
A bachelor's idea of real misery
is being left alone with a noisy baoy.
Never judge a woman’s mind by
the time it takes her to make it up.
How funny our language is.
Some mighty “small" men are run
ning at large.
A girl who has been engaged a
hilf dozen times looks as care worn
as a married woman.
Astronomers say the “big dipper”
will disappear. But not. we sup
pose, until after the “milky way"
goes dry.
The "army of the unemployed"
respectfully points out that if its
members accept work the army
will forfeit its title.
Coolness and common sense are
a great partnership combination in
the running of the celebrated Unit
ed States Government.
Very little is required to make
some people arrogant. There is,
for instance, the man who is proud
of himself because he was bmn in
February like Lincoln and Wash
ington.
You may criticise women and
their slit skirts as much as you
please, but we have noticed when
a man has new pair of silk socks he
generally manages to let people
see them.
“Bryan is done,” says Hon.
Debs, head of the Socialists. Mr.
Bryan has been “done” many times
since his debut in political life back
in 1894 but the prophets have
been false ones.
Congress has pasbed a law to
keep women in the District of Col
umbia from working more than
eight hours a day. It is expected
to protect all women except those
who keep house.
Split skirts have been banished
by the he-tailors of Paris whose
representatives are now making
things hum in the large and popu
lous centers of American fashion.
The split skirt never had any good
reason for existence anyway, but
what the Paris he tailors want to
exchange for it has even a less
reason for popularity, although it is
quite likely that the American wo
man will grab at it with her usual
alacrity. Multi-colored wigs will
cause newspapers a lot of amuse
merit but they will not add very
much to a woman’s good looks.
However, they are pretty expen
sive and few of the girls will waste
their money in that way.
Some people sit down and wait
for opportunity to come along, and
not unlikely, they are fast asleep
when it does come. Others with
better sense go after opportunity
and will not rest until they have
found it and used it.
■ ■ ■ ■— —.—
Twenty years ago there were
70.000. 000 people in the United
States and the stock reports state
that there were also 70,000.000
head of cattle in the country. At
the present time the population has1
increased to 96.000,000, while the;
total number of cattle is placed at
56.000. 000. At the same ratio of
increase and decrease how long
will it be before beef will be a thing
of the past? Not very long, we
think, unless the farmers of the
South awake to the great opportu
nity offered them in raising cattle.
The “Texas.” the “most power
ful” boat in the navy, has just been
launched. Every battleship built
by American genius and made pos
sible by American dollars is the
"most powerful” for a few months.
Isn’t it foolish, this mad attempt to
keep up in the race for naval su
premacy? In a few years, too few.
considering the cost of the vessel,
the “Texas” will be relegated to
the scrap heap where hundreds of
other boats have been sent. War
is what Sherman said it was: prep-1
arations for war seam to be what!
Sherman said it was, too double- j
distilled.
REALLY WORTH MUCH MONEY
Dishonest French Antiquarian Hadn't
Known the Value of the Arab
Glass He Owned.
Judgment lias been given in an j
amusing ease brought before the
Eleventh correctional chamber, says
a Paris letter to the London Post.
A certain antiquary possessed an
Arab glass, more or less like a cham
pagne glass. Its origin was un
known, and it occurred to the anti
quary that he might sell it for a bet
ter price if he could get some certifi
cate of its origin.
He persuaded an acquaintance
who was in the habit of visiting the
Caucasus to take a photograph of the
glass with him and, with the aid of
a few hundred francs, to prevail
upon the Moll ah of a Tartar
mosque to guarantee it as a genu
ine specimen of the fourteenth cen
tury.
He then offered the glass for £100
($2,000) to various collectors and
museums, among others the British
museum. All the experts said the
glass was charming, but rather too
dear.
Eventually, however, a Herman
antiquary showed himself more gen
erous and paid $1,000 for the pre
cious relic, on condition that its au
thenticity was beyond doubt. Three
Herman experts declared it authen
tic and the price was paid.
It is improbable that the public
would ever have beard anything
about, the ingenuity of the French
' antiquarian ff he had not failed to
pay a commission to bis acquaint
ance who obtained the certificate of i
its origin.
The acquaintance won his case and
received $2,000 out of the $4,(>00
paid by the German purchaser, while j
the French antiquarian was fined i
$20.
According to plaint ill's counsel
the Arab glass has been steadily in
creasing in value since it reached
Germany. It has been valued at
| $8,000 by various experts, and a col
j lector is now ready to purchase it
for $12,000.
NO FRAGMENTS FOR HER.
Heck—T suppose you broke the
news to your wife.
Peck—I iried to, but she insisted
on having the whole of it.
ITS SPECIALTY.
“There is one sort of game which
is alwavs plentiful.”
“What is that?”
“Trouble, when one is hunting it.”
REAL THING IN SETTLEMENT.
“What did the old man settle on
the young couple when his daughter
married ?”
“Himself.”
DESTROY CATTLE TICK
Dipping Vat Has Proved to Be a Good
Method—Other Methocfs Which
Will Help.
The arsenical .solution in a concrete
dipping vat has proved to be the most
effective
remedy for
the extermi
nation of cat
tle ticks.
Tlie follow
ing are the
s p e c i f i -
cations for
the construc
tion of a dip
ping vat:
The site
s e 1 e c t e d
for the vat
should be
dry. The ex
cavation
; should be
! 7 feet deep,
27 feet long
at the top,
13 feet long
at the bot
tom. 4 feet
wide at the
top, 30
inches wide
at the bot
tom.
The walls
and floor
should be 6
inches thick.
The wooden
frames
should be
c o nstructed
of 2x4-inch
braces. on
the outside
of which 1
inch boards
are tacked.
After the
concrete has
set, take out
frame and
plaster in
with a mixture of 1 part cement and
2 parts sand. The walls of the vat
should be built one foot above the
surface of the ground. The slide
where the cattle go into the vat
should oe three feet long with a fall
of two feet. The concrete should be
made as follows: Cement, 1 part;
sand, 2’£ parts; gravel or broken
rock, 5 parts, all thoroughly mixed.
The dipping vat should be covered
with a shed and provided with con
venient pens, chute and dipping pen
The Arsenical Solution.
The following formula is most com
monly psed:
Sodium carbonate (sal soda), 24
lbs.; white arsenic, 8 lbs.; pine tar,
1 gallon; water, 500 gallons.
Mix the soda and arsenic within
a kettle containing 30 gallons of wa
ter; boil it 30 minutes; let this solu
tion cool to 140 degrees, then slowly
add the pine tar.
Other Methods of Eradication.
In undertaking measures for eradi
cating the tick it is evident that the
pest may be attacked in two loca
tions, namely, on the pasture and on
the cattle.
In freeing pactures the method fol
lowed may be either a direct or an
indirect one. The former consists in
excluding all cattle, horses and mules
from pastures until all the ticks have
died from starvation. The latter con
sists in permitting the cattle and
other animals to continue on the in
fested pasture and dipping them at
regular intervals in the arsenical so
lution and thus preventing engorged
females from dropping and reinfest
ing the pasture.
LECTURE CHARTS AND
LANTERN SLIDES
Extension Department of Harvester
Company Soon to Distribute Educa
tional Material on Agricultural
Subjects for Use of Lecturers— (
Nominal Charge to Cover Cost of
Shipment Will Be Made.
The Agricultural Extension Depart
ment of the International Harvester

hensive manner, corn, oats, alfalfa,
dairying, feeds and feeding, soils and
crop rotation, poultry, weeds and in
sects, home economics, etc.
Inetructicn Books Furnished.
For the information and direction of
lecturers, a book will accompany each
set of charts and lantern slides. This
book will outline in brief form the
story of each cliiirt. Much time and
thought have been devoted to the
preparation of this material. The
charts and slides are the results of
thousands of experiments conducted
at the experiment stations under
many conditions with soils, farm
crops, dairying, stock feeding, poul
try, weeds and insects. Tills new
work undertaken by the Exten
sion Department is distinctly educa
tional, there being no advertising fea
ture connected with it in any way.
The charts will be free, except for a
small charge to cover cost of shipment
or possible damage caused by break
age. Address Extension Dept., Ilax

Tests of both Gorn and Gotton show that most

Wastes the money it is worth as feed; wastes
