Moss Roses. This is the story of the first moss rose. One day the little daughter of the Wise Chief fell very ill. No one knew how to make her well again, for that was hundreds of moons ago, before wise men had found so many ways to Ileal the sick. All the people were sad, for they loved the beautiful Little girl. After they had held a council, the grandmother of the Wise Chief said, "I will go far away into the fields and woods and search until I find' healing herbs that will (take the child well again," So, just as the Moon Mother put the stars to sleep under the fleecy clouds, the old woman set forth on her jour- ney. She first went into the big, cool, friendly woods. There all day long she searched, first beside a singing brook, where the little fishes played in the sunshine and shadow, then at the foot of the tall forest trees, among the bright red berries and dark glossy leaves. But she did not find the heal- ing herbs. After that she went into the fields. On the slope of a hill in the distance stood three little pine trees, side by side. They looked as if they 'were marching up the hill; their long top branches, like fingers, touched the sky. "I, too, will -climb the hill," the old woman) said to herself. While she searched the elope of the hill the moon came up, big and round and beautiful, behind the tall pine trees, One long silver 'beam pierced the dark pine boughs and seemed to point to a bush a few yards away. The old woman went over to the bush and found it covered with clus- ters of little roses, smooth and pink. She parted the branches and peered in. Lo, the ground was covered with soft green velvet moss, and, rooted in the moss, safe and flourishing, were the healing herbs! The grandmother was very happy, She said to the rosebush, "Because you have guarded so well the healing herbs for the little sick daughter of the Wise Chief I will snake you more beautiful than any other rose." Then she wrapper each smooth pink rosebud in a little piece of the moss and went away. ' She carried the healing herbs to the Wise Chief's lodge and steeped them in water in the sun and gave then) to the daughter of the chief. Then the child got well. Soon afterwards the same little girl went hunting for wild flowers on a certain 'hill. And in the slope of that hill she found, blooming shy and lovely in the shadow of three slim pines, the very first moss roses in the world. This You Cm Do to Boot Yol:ir Cosa Yield Big yields of corn are not grown a poor variety of 00114 is grown, or by accident, They may result from using correct methods he growing the crop. The rotation, the preparation of the soil, the chseacter of the seed pianted, and the flurry the crop is cultivated are the 'important things within control that affect the yield. Corn is very sensitive to soil condi- frons, It requires a deep soil well supplied with plant food for its beat growth. At the Ohio Experiment Sta- tion, where corn, wheat•, and oats havo been grown continuously for twenty-' five years on the saute fields, the yield of corn itis declined 1110re rapidly than either wheat or oasts. Where c0011 has been grown with these crops in good rotations, winch include closet, and when barnyard manure and con- mero!al fertilizers have been used to supply plant food', corn has made the greatest increase in yield. Corn should not be grown many year's in sueces01011 ell the ;mine field, The best yields are obtained where it is grown after the clover or some other leguminous crop, and when bargyard manure, reinfored with at phosphatic fertilizer, is applied. Experiments ecnclurfe,l by many expet'inent•stations have s110w11 that a good qunitty home -graven seed of an acclimated variety or proper 1:13:0 will out -yield 0143,1 iet.rodured from any other locality, This ie espeeitlly true when scot fs (loved (11011 :t ,rf,nd to a less favorable core growing rine:nu!

Babies eannct talk, but they have a sign language, By crying and. by movements they can explain a great many things. Well Baby—A normal, healthy child gains regularly in weight, has a warm moist skin, breathes quietly, eats heartily, sleeps peacefully, has one or two regular bowel movements daily and cries only when he is hungry, un- comfortable, ill or indulging in a flt of temper. Posture When Sleeping --Quiet, limbs relaxed, sleep peaceful, no toss- ing about. Facieli Expression ---Calm and peace- ful. If baby is suffering pain, the features will contract from time to time and the fists will be clenched tightly. Breathing—Regular, easy and quiet. However, during the firelt weeks of family weakness for carping and criticizing those of the household, It '.s many a long year since Eternal Wieeom said: "A prophet is not with- out honor cavo in has own country."

The Z;ipites had at an earlier time shown hostility to -David and had offered to give him up to Saul (28: 14- 24), There are some, however, who thiole this story and that in chap. 28 to be duplicate accounts of the same event, The "hill of. Hach'ilah" was, probably, between Ziph and. I1n-gedl.
