The shoots and seeds must be young when they are gathered so that they will be free from disagreeable bitterness and strength. The leaves and flowers can be used for salad and are so used in England to a much greater extent than here. They are considered an excellent remedy for scurvy.

In the current issue of Farm and Fireside, a number of contributors give their experiences with kicking cows and tell how to break them of the habit. One contributor's cure is described as follows: “I once had a heifer that kicked like lightning, so to speak. The only way we could milk her was by tying her. One day my father-in-law Came, and we told him about the heifer. After a little he said, "Come to the bam and we’ll milk her.” "He took a card used for combing the cows and, gently stroking her, said, “You milk now.” "I sat down and milked her. She didn't lift a foot. For nearly three weeks someone combed the cow while I milked. She now stands without combing. To us the cure was remarkable." The session of the M. P Conference at Liberty Center was enlivened a little at the morning session when two ministers were dropped from the-list. J. S. Cassidy of Gaston, was dropped for the reason that he believes and preaches holiness, which is not wholly in accord with the belief. Mr. Cassidy readily consented to being dropped upon the charge brought against him, but Wm. S. Coons, of the Montpelier circuit, raised a howl because he was dropped for violating the rule aaginst divorce and re-marriage that is strictly adheared to by Methodist Protestents. Coons has been guilty of violating this rule and accordingly was dropped. He is entitled to a trial, however, and will later have a hearing. Until that time he is down and out as a M. P. minister. In the current issue of Farm and Fireside appears an interesting little article about Cyrus H. McCormick the man who made the first successful reaper. He built it as a boy without his father’s knowing it and tried it out one fall. It was not entirely a success but he made some changes and tried it again. Finally in 1831 he made his first successful reaper. He kept on making improvement and in 1834 had a machine good enough to patent. He offered them for sale for S3O apiece but no one would buy. Finally in 1839 he invited a lot of fa: mers to see it work. It cut two acres an hour. That was really wonderful in those days but still no one would buy it. The next year. 1840. a man at Egypt, Virginia, bought the first machine and paid S3O for it. It . worked, and faith in the new invention began to spread.

HOW TO LOSE MONEY. You have often heard that expression of money that went to the dogs. Well, here is an actual case of where it went to the 1 calves. Mrs. R. F. Young, who lived near Greenbrier, Arkansas, was left a legacy of $2,000. She determined that she would carry it about her person. One day while walking through her barnyard, the Safety pin which kept it in her pocket fajljd t,o do its duty, and the handkerchief, containing the money fell to the ground. ! | Before she discovered her loss three calves-worth about $lO each —chewed up all but $375 of her roll of bills. Mrs. Young Put the $375 in the bank. There are ten thousand different ways of losing money. There's only one way of keeping it safely. For you that one way is to put it now in the First National Bank.
