The horse at hard work needs to be well-fed. The animal husbandry man at the North Dakota Agricultural COI - lege says that good oats is the best grain, but that the ration can often be cheapened by replacing one-fourth to one-third of the oats with corn, bar- ley or bran. A 1,400 -pound horse will usually do well on 17 to 21 pounds of grain a day, and an. equal amount of hay. AC the horse is larger or smaller, feed more or less. Timothy hay is recognized as one of the best rough age for the work -horse, but a good quality of upland Prairie hay, red top, clover or alfalfa, can be substituted. The Dakota. man advises dividing the feeds as follows: Grain. feed—Morn- ing, 8 pounds; noon, 8 pounds; even- , ing, 6 pounds. Hay—Morning, 5 pounds; noon, 5 pounds; evening, 11 pounds. On Sundays, or days when the horse is idle, out down the feed one- fourth. • Alsike clover is the wet land hay and forage crop. It is richer in protein than. red clover and can be seeded on wet, sour la.nd, -when red clover and al- falfa will not grow. A man who has had much experience says it is a good plan to seed alsike clover with timothy, with orchard grass or with red top. IVhen seeded alone the stems of the clover lie on the ground and make a mat that is diffi- cult to cut. The grass serves to hold the clover up, and thus makes cutting .easier. The mixture is also paore read. ily cured. .&. good mixture for hay is alike clover, five pounds, and timothy, four •pounds, per acre; or alsike clover, five pounds, and orchard grass ten pounds. Such mixtures will give most alsike clover with enough grass to hold it ule the feeder, yet a mixture is very ac. eeptable to the stock. Good rations for any class of live stock must be well balanced as to Yer- letSeand palatability, succulence and nutrition.

At the age of twenty-nine Marle• An- toinette, the wife of Louis XVI., gravely discussed the question with her modiste, Rose Bertin. She would S0011 be thirty. Her idea was to change her manner of dress, which inclined too much to that of extreme youth. In consequence she should wear no more flowers or feathers. The glorious Georgiana, the duchess of Devonshire, complained to the French ambassador that she was al- ready seven and twenty years old. "Consider," said the glorious one, "what an ago that is!" to which the ungallant ambassador replied that "in France at seven and twenty a woman was considered elderly."

Orchards may be renewed by culti- vation, but deep plowing in orchards is disastrous, owing to the disturbance of many fine feeding roots that may not be noticeable to the plowman, Then scrape the trees', and spray them. Sheep -keeping should be encouraged. No other animal can thrive on such short pasturage as the sheep. Sheep manure is the most valuable of all. On almost every farm there is a brushy field on which sheep could browse eight months of the Year. The presence of many weeds, especi- ally sorrel and horsetail rush, indi- cates sourness. When the soil le made sweet with lime, weeds thriving in acid soil give much trouble. Care should be taken to handle al- falfa hay so as not to lose leaves, as these contain considerable more than 60 per cent of the feeding value of the hay. It is the quiet, satisfied hog that brings the most money to the oWner.- -, Laxative feeds and exercise are the secrete of successful feeding.

Here live the sub -lieutenants, the midshipmen, the assistant paymasters (otherwise A.P.'s) and all the other junior and irrepressible officers. With such a tenantry one may easily guess that dull quietude never clouds the gunroom's day—and certainly not its nights. For the most part those who have their habitat in it are mere boys In so far as years are concerned, though made capable by long training of taking on a man's jcib and doing it efficiently. A midshipman in charge of a picket beat may be t, model of smartness and restrained dignity. He will handle his little "command" with an air of more I.han ereybeard confidence, rap out his ordere in tones that have just tae right amcunt of "bite" in them, and generally appear so staid and competent that one might think all the boyishness had been trained out of him, writes "Jackstaff" in The Lon- don Mall. But see that same midship- men a few hours later acting as a "dog of war" in the gunroom, and there will be nothing of the prema- turely grown-up discernible about him. Gunrooms themselves have changed with the ships. Instead of being dark, uncomfortable holes below the orlop deck, as in old times, they are now comfortable enough as a rule, though better in some vessels than in .otherss But gunroom law and gunroom ways have altered little. The senior sub -lieutenant is ruler of the mess, and he wields a more auto. erotic power within his turbulent lie tle domain than does any king, kaiser or sultan, on earth. Being unquestime ably the albhighest within his own particular sphere, whatever he says goes—and a bad time often happens on anyone who tries to stop it, _for him subjects 111118t yield him uhquestion- ing obedience—or suffer the cense. querices of their insubordination.

"All right," he says, 'take Mr. Lanyard to the senior sub and tell him to give him half a dozen." And the senior sub soes that Mr. Lanyard gets "hie dose" in full measure, A cane or a dirk scabbard—preferably the latter because it hurts most—is the gun room's favorite chastising weapon, and the "laying on" is done so lustily that, once experienced, it is never for- gotten. In favor of this ousters it should be said that the offender gets what is due to him—and there is an end to the matter. The fault does not count against him permanently as it would if "logged." As to why he got "cobbed" it might be that Mr. Lanyard did not bring his boat alongside smartly en- ough or in some other way he showed slackness in carrying out his duties; nothing which deserved to.be perman• ently recorded against him, but which Lor his own good and the good of the service could not be wholly ignored. The navy, you see, does not allow its young officers to start the wrong way, and for putting them in the right way gunroom discipline is the most effective and .convenient method: Making a Garden. Agriculture is nearly as old as man, and since it began it is probable that farmers have been studying out bal- anced rations for domestic animals, but even yet few housekeepers have any real scientific ideas on feeding the family.

How about a man or a ehild ? leo you know how to set your table to get the maximum results and keep perfect health?

The oyster men who have examined .their beds say the oysters are in the pink of condition. They are so fine that there Is talk of putting up the price lest the oysters blush when put on the table alongside of high-priced steaks and roasts. Carloads of the first September oysters will be eaten raw as soon as they are out of the shell, But there are hundreds of palatable ways of preparing them. Here follows aome good recipes: FRIED OYSTERS. For frying, large oysters should .be selected. Parboil them just enough to •plump them, but not enough to curl the edges much. Drain carefully, and lay the oysters in the folds of a towel to absorb all moisture. Season each oyster with, salt and white pepper, dip in fine breadcrumbs, then in egg beat- en with one tablespoonful water, and again in crumbs, being careful to coat every portion of each oyster thormigh- ly. Fry in deep hot fat, and drain on unglazed paper, OYSTER COCKTAIL. For each cocktail into each glass put one and one-half tablespoonfuls tomato catsup, one teaspoonful Worcestershire sauce, one teaspoonful lemon juice, three drops of tobesco sauce, and five small oysters. Serve- very cold. To serve them at their' best, oyster cock- tails must be prepared individually. Serve in glass sherbet cups if the cosk- tail glasses are not at hand. OYSTER FRITTERS. Drain and chop a pint of oysters. Mix with them the strained oyster liquid, adding enough water to make two scant cupfuls: Mix to a batter with two cupfuls of flour and a tea- spoonful salt. When it is smooth, stir in a tablespoonful of olive oil and two eggs well beaten. Drop a spoonful in- to hot fat and fry a delicate brown. Drain a moment on unglazed paper and serve hot, OYSTER PIE: Drain the liquor form a quart of oysters; scald, strain and add two level tablespoonfuls butter, salt and pepper to taste, half a cupful rich milk and bread crumba to make slightly thick. Boil a. few minutes, then put in the oysters and cook until the edges begin to Curl. Remove from the fire, and when slightly cool add the beaten yolks 'of three eggs. Line a buttered baking dish with rich paste, fill it with uncooked rice to support the top cover of paste. Put on the top paste and bake in a good oven until nicely browned. Then carefully lift off the top, remove the rice annill with the oyster mixture. Put .on the top, let get very hot in the oven and serve at once. PHILADELPHIA. BROILED OY- STERS. Pielc over and drain one pint or oys- ters, tip each in melted butter, theu into fine cracker crumbs seasoned with salt and pepper. Butter an oyster broiler and lay the oysters in; broil until the juice . flows. then serve on hot buttered toast., Pour a brown sauce over the oysters. BROWN SAUCE. -Melt, a rounding tablespoonful of butter, and when it begins to coler stir in one mending tablespoonful of flour•and cook until frothy, then turn in one cup of oyster liquid and cook three or four minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Deadheads in Pepys' Time. In Pepys' Diary he tells of "Thomas Killigrew's way of getting to- see plays when he was a boy. He would go to the Red Bull, and when the man cried to the boys, 'Who will go and be a devil and he shall see the play for nothing?' then would he Els, la and be a devil upon the etage and so get to eee Playa." - • You never can tell.

The family had not bad their telephone vory long, and every- one took a deep and abiding interest in It. On tho outside of the direct- ory they had rioted the words, "Trouble, call No. 4217." It had been a hard morning, and everything had gone wrong, Finally the lady of the house, in deeperation, turned to her trusty telephone and called 4217. "This is the trouble department," answered the operator eweetly, "Is this where you report your troubles?" asked the lady. "Yes, simians" "Well, I only wanted to report that our cat got drowned in the cistern thie morning; the baby is cutting a now tooth; the cook left without warning; we are out of sugar and starch; the stovepipe fell down; the milkman lett only a pint instead of quart to -day; the bread won't raise; my oldest child is elekening with the measles; the plumbing in tho cellar Joke; we have only enough coal to last through until to -morrow; the paint gave out when I got only half over the dining -room floor; the main - sating of the clock is broken; my three sisters-in-law are coming to visit to -morrow; the dustman has not called for two weeks; our dog has the mange; the looking -glass fell off the wall a little while ago and broke to Pieces; and I think that my husband Is taking considerable notice of a wi- dow lady that lives next door.

NETTING U-BOATS, • How the Work is Done by Brit- ain's Trawlers. A submarine net is made of wire rope, about as thick as a lead pencil, and the meshes are of great size— about 10 or 16 feet square. • The net has floats on top that keep 'bobbing up and down like a fleet on a fish line and on the bottom are weights that keep the whole thing in a perpendicu- lar position. The submarine cannot. submerge to very great depths on ac- count of the pressure -200 feet beteg about the limiting 'depth. It sails innocently along, therefore, until it pushes itsnose into these meshes. The net now trails along on both sides of the submarine—lig progress revealing the fact that something below is supplying the motive power. Perhaps the net suddenly stops; that means that the hidden submarine has stopped, its navigators having made the horrible discovery that they are trapped—or perhaps the net has be- come twisted in the propeller. Under these conditions the wise submarine rises_ to the surface. It surrenders, becotnes the property of tbe enemy, and tts-crew are mads prisoners. 11 It does not take such action, one of two things will happen. The enemy will wait upon the surface until' the submersible comes up, or if it starts moving the enemy will follow until the inevitable uprising. But perhaps the surface commander gets impatient. In such a case he can let a bomb down in the water, which will explode when It touches the roof of the sub. marine. Of course, the submerged Germans know that this bomb is likely to drop at any minute; the "psychology" of such a situation tends to persuade the imprisoned crew to surrender.—World's Work. DEADLY.

Theory That America Was Settled as Early as the Medieval Age, To -day, more than ever before, is woman's opportunity. Many new oc- cupations are .now opened to her, which, before the war, she was deemed unfitted to fill. And truth to tell, she has risen to the opportunity, and now shares many business responsibilities in former times confined to men. But, as women are subject to more fre- quent fluctuations of health than men, many will be handicapped early, if they regerci their health requirements too lightly.. The nervous gtrain long hours and .prolonged mental or physical fatigue thin the blood and weaken the nerves. Such .conditions as women are now called upon to undergo can only be en- dured by a full-blooded constitution, This is as true for men as for women, only weaker women suffer soonest. The woman worker, in any line, re- quires her blood replenished frequent- ly. She needs new, deli, blood to keep her health under the trying condi- tioes of business life, and to fortify her system against the effects of.everwork. This applies also to the woman in the home, who, perhaps, has more worries and anxieties than usual. So let all girls and women take heed and renew their blood promptly at the first ap- proach of pallor, lack of eppstite, head. ache, or backache. This can be best and most effectively accomplished by taking Dr. Withall12' Pink Pills •which make new, rice blood and thus hell) womankind so perfectly. No woman need fear failure of health if they take these pills occasionally to keep them well, or give them a fair trial if they fine themselves run down. .

Mr Abbott first appreciated the idea that the ancient Indians were uncivilized, for they were highly civilized in many respects. Mr. Abbott brought forth the theory that America was settled as early as the mediaeval age, about 1,- 200 B. C., by a company made up of Hebrews, Greek, Egyptians and other ancient races, and _transported acrosa the Atlantic Ocean to Yucutan by the Proenicians, who were daring sailors. Naturally this mingling of blood after about 800 years resulted in the new race, the Indians. • The most civilized parts of America in ancient times was the Peruvian coast of South America, settled by the Incas; present-day Mexico, the homo of the Axtecs, and the Pacific coast and eastern parts of our own country, the habitat 'of the North American In- dian. On the Pacific coast traces of. Asiatic blood can be found in Indians' physical characteristics. The Phoenic- ian colony he theorized, mixed also with prehistoric race also established in Yucutan. The elexican civilization was very high. The Aztecs came to the Mexi- can tableland in about the thirteenth century. These people, said the speak- er, had books of a page which Mr. Ab- bott translated market places, zoolog- ical gardens, courts and other signs of civilization. The Incas, wao were rulers of the people of that name in Peru, were ab- solute despots. But the people built wonderful roads, bad storehouses and it was from here that the Spaniards brought the potato, Mr. Abbott claim- ed. The North American Indian who lived in this vicinity about 400 years ago was dismissed. The Mohicans had probably the most democratic form of government known. Several families lived tegether in what is known as a "long -house." The Am- erican Indian, as a whole, was morally clean, althoug he practiced polygamy. The Indian's birch bark canoe, bows and arrows, lay vessels, war elubs and other inventions were discussed. Mr. Abbott displayed a wide know- ledge of his subject and his talk was well worth hearing. It was illustrat- ed by paintings on canvas. Mr. Ab- bott 1)elieve:4 we should study the an- cient Indians just as much as we study Greece or any other ancient people.— Troy Times The trouble with most people who fish for compliments Is that they don't go deep enough. sarriamamolo 111.••••••••• RAVE YOU A BAD SORE? • It so, remember these facts—ZaIxe Bilk is by far the most widely used balm in Canada!
