The Flavor COULD TRUST HIS MEMORY Mr. Wanamaker Able to Turn at Once to Any Book on His Miles of Shelves. A couple of weeks ago John Wnnainaker did something which he said he had not done before in his 55 years' experieno as a merchant. He opened his st "re on Sunday. That will interest ou even less than something else which Mr. Wanamaker did that afternoon and which was told me by one of the dozen persons who were present, writes "Girard" in the Philadelphia Public Ledger. There had been u dinner for a party of distinguished Japanese visitors, and Mr. Wanamaker volunteered to show the oriental gentlemen the inside of Ids store. Before departing from the big granite building Mr. Wanamaker said to the chief guest: "Baron, there is a book here I wish you to have." Naming another book, Mr. Wanamaker walked to another case and got It. Then he proceeded to present to each gentleman present a volume or two, in each Instance naming what he intended to give before he went to a bookshelf to get it. Which feat of memory caused my Informant to remark when he related the incident to me: I have seen John Wanamaker do a great many extraordinary things In 40 years, but his ability to pick here and there a book out of many thousands amazed me the most."

WRAPPED IN Lasts! HADN'T BORED GLADSTONE Statesman, in Fact, Thoroughly En joyed Himself While "Heavy" Recitation Was Rendered. Sir Charles Wyndham. the actor, was once asked to exploit a certain reciter and gave an "at home" for the pur pose, at which Gladstone was present. It was a terribly hot afternoon, and the reciter announced that he would give "Elaine," by Lord Tennyson. After tho recital Sir Charles went to Gladstone and said, "I'm afraid you've had a trying time with all this heat?" "Not at all," was the reply. "I have had a charming afternoon. I thank you for asking me, and now as I am quite refreshed I can run back to the house." Sir Charles was elated, for the rath er heavy "Elaine" had been a success after all. He rushed to the stage, where he found Ills guests waiting for him and for tea. "What have we done to you," they cried, "to give us 'Elaine' on a day like this? Surely there was something lighted to choose." "Lighter!" echoed Sir Charles. "That's the trouble with you society people you're all so frivolous. 1 gave you a classic treat.

HARMFUL CHINCH BUG

Evident That Pest Is Threatening Next Year's Crop. One Plan of Eradication Is to Burn Over Fields, Woods and Other Fa vorable Winter Quartei Heat Will Kill Many. (By L. HASE MAN, Missouri Agricultural Experiment Station.) Judging from the numerous com plaints being received by the Missouri agricultural experiment station, it seems ovident that the chinch bug is threatening next year's crops. Over the state generally the chinch bug's day was brought to a close by the heavy rains of 1915, but as usual, there were enough "for seed" this last spring, and with the unusually dry summer just passed these increased abundantly. They seem to be most abundant in the central part of the state. Throughout most of the corn and wheat belts of the state there are probably enough bugs to cause severe outbreaks next year, if weather conditions should be especially favorable for them. A dry fall, mild winter, with but little snow and rain, followed by a dry spring and summer are the conditions which will favor the pest. The chinch bug is abundant now, due to the favor able summer just passed, but with plenty of rainfall and snow during the fall, winter, and spring, the chances will be decidedly against outbreaks next summer. Since it is not possible to know what the fall, winter, and spring may have in store in the way of favorable or unfavorable weather, every farmer should do everything possible to re duce the chance of chinch-bug in juries next summer by getting rid of favorable winter quarters. They winter in dry, protected places, such as mead ows, pastures, and waste lands, in woods, neglected fence rows, and similar places. Very few winter in corn fields or in wheat fields. After killing frosts have come, select a dry day when there is not too much wind and burn over fields, woods, and other favorable winter quarters. The heat will kill many of the bugs and expose the rest to the winter and to natural enemies. This pest can be fought successfully at only two times during the year, namely: while clustered in win ter quarters, and while migrating from wheat to corn in the summer. Now is the time to get retdy to fight the pest while in winter quarters and prevent it from proving destructive next year. A recurrence of this pest like the outbreaks of 1912, 1913, and 1914, which damaged Missouri crops at least $5,000,000, should be prevented if possi ble. HOLDING WOOD IN SAWBUCK Illustration Shows Device for Prevent ing Stick From Rolling While Being Sawed. Anyone who has used a sawbuck knows 'hbw inconvenient it is to have a stick roll or lift up as the saw blade is pulled back for the next cut. With the supplementary device, shown in the sketch, from Popular Mechanics, which can be easily attached to the Stirrup Holds Wood. sawbuck, these troubles will be eliminated. It consists of two crosspieces hinged to the back uprights of the sawbuck and a foot-pressure stirrup fastened to their front ends as shown. Spikes are driven through the crosspleces so that their protruding ends will gouge into the stick of wood being sawed. The stirrup is easily thrown back for laying a piece of wood in the crotch. BEWARE OF THE CROWN-GALL Considerable Danger in Using Rasp berries as Fillers Among Fruit Trees in Orchard. There has come to be considerable danger In using raspberries as fillers among fruit trees. The crown-gall disease now frequently attacks the different varieties of raspberries and will be communicated from raspberries to the fruit trees growing in their vicinity. It is therefore now considered the safer plan to use the blackberries for fillers among fruit trees rather than raspberries.

CONCRETE KEEPS AWAY RATS Rodents Not Only Steal Grain, but Frequently Acquire Taste for Chicks and Eggs. Eats are among the worst pests about the poultry house. They not only steal a large amount of grain, but frequently develop a taste for young chicks and eggs which seems to be insatiable. A well-made concrete floor and foundation makes an almost perfect protection against rats. A concrete floor itself is not sufficient, for the rats may burrow under it and thus find a perfectly protected breeding place. A concrete foundation for poultry houses need not be heavy or expensive, if properly made. A trench may be dug below the frost line and forms set up six inches apart. A mixture of one part portland cement, three parts sand and six parts gravel will prove plenty strong enough for this purpose. After it is well set forms can be removed, the floor leveled up and covered with concrete three inches deep, mixed in the same proportions. The floor can be made smooth and level by a straight edge board. Frequently a finishing coat of three-quarters of an inch is put on of a richer mixture and trowreIed to a smooth finish. Beginning the day after the floor is laid it should be sprinkled two or three times daily for a week so as to prevent the concrete from drying out too rapidly and cracking.

FATTEN CATTLE FOR PROFIT Baby Beeves Weighing 800 to 1,100 Pounds Are Most Economical for Market to Handle. (By W. H. PEW, Iowa Experiment Station.) Although it is nip and tuck whether the farmer who ships in range cattle to feed will make a satisfactory profit, it is quite certain that the man who produces his own cattle and fattens Young Hereford. them and markets them wrhen they are from 15 to 20 months old, will make money. At that age the baby beef will weigh from 800 to 1,100 pounds. The carcass will be the most economical for the market to handle and its production will insure profit for the farmer. Baby beeves will gain about as rapidly in the feed lot as older cattle, and the cost of gain will be less, as much as 3 or 4 cents a pound. If the market is not just right when the baby beef Is ready, it may be held and fed until the market is right and it will keep on gaining and gaining economically. There are a number of notable successes with baby beef production. SPECIAL ATTENTION TO OIL In Getting Farm Machinery Ready for Work Look Carefully to Lubrication of Wearing Parts. In getting the machinery ready for farm operations, Prof. H. C. Ramsower of the agricultural engineering department, Ohio State university, urges that special attention be given to the lubrication of all wearing parts. "A full oil can to every machine" is the way he states it. Especially on new machinery and the farm tractor does the use of oil become important. Make sure that all oil holes, well, pumps, grease cups and bearings are thoroughly cleaned of dirt, grit, paint, and foreign matter before the holes are filled, so that waste matter cannot be carried into the bearings. Clean wool or cotton placed in cups will keep out sand and grit. It Is a good practice to use a mixture of equal parts machine oil and kerosene in the bearings for the first few hours of operation of a tractor. CARING FOR ASPARAGUS BEDS It Should Receive Liberal Application of Manure Keep Grass From Crowding It Out. Cultivate the asparagus bed and keep the grass from crowding it out It should receive a liberal application of well-rotted manure. Some authorities contend that salt is a good fertilizer to be applied at this season, but that is an open question, and its use is not advised if there is any other fertilizer known to be good, available. CAREFUL HANDLING OF FRUIT Necessity for Avoiding Bruising and Mechanical Injuries More Urgent Than Is Realized. Small bruises and breaks in the skin of fruits are large enough to afford entrance to the .sports of fungi, and the necessity for the utmost care in all operations connected with the handling of the fruit, to avoid bruising and mechanical injuries, is more urgent than most growers realize.

The most simple methods are usually the most effective ones when treating any disorder of the human system. The mere drinking a cup of hot water each morning, plenty of pure water all day, and a little Anuric before every meal has been found the most effective means of overcoming kidney trouble. Death would occur if the kidneys did not work day and night in separating pofsons and uric acid from the blood. The danger signals are backache, depressions, pains, heaviness, drowsiness, irritability, headaches, chilliness, rheumatic twinges, swollen Joints or gout. Since It Is such a simple matter to step Into your favorite drug store and obtain Anuric, anyone who earnestly desires to regain health and new life will waste no time in beginning this treatment.
