Answer :•-Growing beans should be cultivated very carefully. Men who handle large areas of beans- say that most of the work should be put on the seed -bed and just sufficient cultivation should be given to keep down the weeds.

To -day the alfalfa stands six to eight inches high and is commencing to blossom, but in a good many places the leaves are turning yellow or pale green. Also reason that there are more bees at the time that the flowers of the second crop are in blossom than there are for the same period of the first crop. The seed should be cut when about two- thirds of the pods are filled; otherwise the earliest filled pods will shatter and some seed will be lost.

The general plan of this experiment was to compare two rations which should carry as nearly as possible the same amount of dry matter and nutri- ents. In one ration these nutrients were to be derived•largely from rough- age, mainly silage; in the other ra- tion no'silage was to be fed and as lit- tle roughage as seemed wise, the bulk of the nutrients being derived from concentrates. The two rations fed carried practically the same amount of dry matter. In one over fifty per cent. of this dry matter was derived et eighteen per and less than from silageg g dent. from grain. In the other over fifty-seven per cent. of the dry mat- ter was from grain, no silage being fed.

Silage is a Grain Substitute Comparing the average daily pro- duct of each cow for the entire test with her average daily product for the month previous to the change in ra- tion (or the first month of their test in the case of two cows), the cows fed the silage ration shrank 2.84 per cent. in milk and gained 1.89 per cent. in butter -fat production. The cows fed the grain ration shrank 9.11 per cent. in milk and 14.18 in butter -fat pro- duction.

PITY TRE Ziv1PUDENT CHILD Frankly, I sympathize infinitely more with the impudent child than with the impudent child's parents. Why? Because the very fact that a child is impudent is almost conclusive evidence that the parents themselves are at fault in that their training of the child has permitted, perhaps even encouraged, the unfortunate trait to flourish. Ono thing parents, to be successful in their "profession," must bear in mind is that respect begets respect. Where there is mutual respect between a child and its guardians there is no impudence or impertinence, for these are but disrespect expressed. Having learned this, the mothers and fathers of impudent children should ask them- selves, "Do we show him the respect which we wish him to show us? Do we speak to him in the tone of voice we wish him to use when addressing us? Do we treat him as courteously as we wish him to treat us and oth- ers?" I sincerely hope that you can answer "yes" to these self questions, but I - doubt it, for then you would scarcely have occasion to read about "impudent children." But if you cannot answer in the affirmative and are seeking help in the correction of juvenile impertin- ence, know and remember well that a child will almost invariably mirror cl copy your own attitude toward to the doors of the recipients.

A letter; that widens steadily. Good reading ple. This idea inculcated at an early or a wedding • age is a rock foundation for courtesy and chivalry. There is scarcely a child who will not blunder into an occasional indis- creet, even heated speech, but because of this a kiddie is not necessarily an "impudent child." It is only when such outbursts are habitual that a child can be so called. Children are more or less primitive. Their emo- tions are constantly effervescing, and such an effervescence must naturally be followed by an occasional foaming over or unnatural physical and nerv- ous derangement. Therefore, the par- ent can afford to forgive occasional "exhausts," but always with a gentle and wisely worded reproof, perhaps even a sorrowful one, so that the child will be impressed with the important fact that the habit of such outbursts of acknowledgement f I is put into the hands of appy ecrative gift which has been sent by a whole people; the people themselves are family should be addressed to the 'brought into touch with others whose mother but should contain mention of material needs are greater than their the other members. 6.
