UUI5BIXG THE LAMP OF ALL the stories tliat out of n far-distant past have come down to entertain and teach us none U more compelling In Its interest than that of Aladdin -and his wonderful lamp. There are several 'versions of the fact, hut one feature- remains the same In all the variations in order to pet the benefits vMch the lamp had power to confer the possessor had to rub In other words. It took WOIIK to Ret the desired results and to enjoy the benefits. The greatest disgrace In this life Is to be. Idle. To produce nothing, to feed upon the mental or physical labors of others, reduces man to a rank lower than the animal, for they strive at least for their food. "He is not only Idle who does nothing says Seneca, "but he Is Idle who might be better employed." The thing to do Is to llnd that task for which you are best fitted, which you can do with the greatest efficiency and the greatest Jeasure, and do that task with all your might. Count your efforts by results. The punch that does not land never overcomes your opponent. The bullet that spends Its energy In the nlr never helped to win a battle. Production, RESULTS, Is what truly measures endeavor and fixes Its value. Idleness Is emptiness. Emptiness as to the present, emptiness as to the future. ' One of the most Indefatigable workers In America, a man whose accomplishments are known the world over und whose name Is a synonym for accomplishment In his profession said In a lecture to a group of young men recently: "The man who works only SCHOOL kÄcv' Li.

They made these trips interesting by telling stories about many of the famous pictures and Matties. Anna Curtis Chandler is doing something of the same sort In her Sunday Story Hour for children in the Metropolitan museum in New York city. She 'ntines her work to the lecture hall, howcNer, and Illustrates what s!n sajs with stereoptleon slides. lUit there Is an Idea here that might be carried out Id many of our smaller cities :n.d towns.

with the purpose of self-preservation; whose only object In life Is to satisfy his hunger, cover his nakedness and provide himself a shelter, may be good but he won't be good for much." . A man WITH A IJKAIN ought to have something that the machine cannot have. lie ought to have aspiration and ambition and a vision of a better future. If he has not how Is he better than the combination of belts and gears beside which he works? I could never quite see why Adam was very severely punished when as a result of his Infraction of the rules of Eden ho was told. "In the sweat of thy face shalt thou tat bread." I cahno't believe that the Creator looked upon work as a curse, a punishment. Work has brought more joy into the world, cured more sorrows, mended more broken 1. carts and built more happiness than any other function of mankind. Carlyle paid a splendid tribute to work when he wrote, "There is a nobleness and even a sacredness in work. There Is always hope in a man who actually and earnestly works. .The latest gospel In the world Is, know thy work and do It." Work will make us love life. It Is the one means of satisfying ambition. It is the one way to turn dreams into realities. It is the ONLY way by which a man can prove his right to existence and establish the wisdom of the Creator in having made him. The best part of the story "of Aladdin and his lamp was that he had to rub the lamp to get results. Hejiad to work to accomplish what he sought. And that was much more satisfying than ever marrying the Sultan's daughter and living happily ever after. (Copyright.) DAYS ikL Tom.! I i . z a Tun eut' 1..

O i ? t t i i THE ROMANCE OF WORDS SALARY." ADMITTKDLY a necessary part of everyone's diet, salt, was formerly much more of a luxury than It Is 'at present. Deposits of It were comparatively scarce and the commodity was distinctly highpriced. It was for this reason that salarium or "salt money" was included as part of a Koman soldier's pay much as, in the Sixteenth century, "pin money" was given to wives for the purchase of pins, then made by hand and quite expensive. from Ids allowance of "salt money" the word "salary," as applied to payment for services rendered, was gradually evolved, and It is to the same source that we we the common colloquial expression that a person 'l xi t worth hN salt." Owing to the fact that salt Is now obtainable for a few cents a pound, this phrase is understood to mean that a person is practically worthless. I.ut. a few centuries ago. it was understood to mean that, while not much n lu.no the average, the person n fenvd to was worth at leas: something.' (Copyright.)

A. nice dish which will be liked by the family and will be asked for again is: Codfish Chowder. Take two thick slices of salt pork, cut into small cubes and fry until brown; add one-half dozen potatoes sliced, three small onions also sliced. cover with boiling water and cook until the vegetables are tender. Add two cupfuls of shredded salt codfish and one quart of hot milk; cook for live minutes, add one-half dozen milk crackers softened In boiling water and serve at once. Soup From Bones of Fowls. Remove all bits of meat from the bones of a fowl. Separate the bones at the joints and crush with a hammer; add all the bits of skin, pieces of neck and the feet which have been scalded and skinned. Cover with cold water and set over the fire. Melt three tablespoonfuls of chicken fat, slice Into It nn onion, three stalks of celery and a scraped carrot, add three sprigs of parsley, a blade öf mace, cover and let cook, stirring occasionally until softened and yellowed slightly. Uy covering the dish the vegetables will steam in the fat and their own moisture. Add to the bones with a cupful of left-over canned corn and simmer partly for an hour; remove the bones and strain through a fine sieve. This broth may be used In making almost any var!etjof soup. By the addition of salt, pepper and a small can of tomato soup, a particularly good tomato soup results. Banana Salad. Slice one-half dozen bananas and chop one cupful of walnuts fine; add a little salt and mix with enough mayonnaise dressing to make the salad of the right consistency; add one cupful of freshly-roasted peanuts, and serve on lettuce. Young cooked beets hollowed out and filled with peas, peanuts and chopped pickles makes, with a good well-seasoned dressing, a most tasty salad. Ham Loaf. Chop one and one-half pounds of uncooked ham, add one and onefourth pounds of round stenk chopped, one-half pound of lean fresh pork chopped. Mix well, add two wellbeaten eggs, one cupful of oatmeal or rolled oats, one teaspoonful of salt and one , teaspoonful of pepper (level). Mix and bake in a loaf one hour.

PARE BROOD G89P FOR HEfJ! Illustration Shews Type Approved by Department of Agriculture Poultry Experts. IT iS EASY TO KEEP CLEAN Rats and Other Enemies Are Pre vented From Destroying Young Chicks It Is Easily Stored as It Is Collapsible. (Prepared by the United States Depart ment of Agriculture.) All kinds of makeshift broixl coop are used by poultry keepers, hut he who takes as much pride In the ap pearance of his -chicken yards as he does in the appearance of the rest of the farmstead likes neat brood cooris. The coop shown In the illus tration is one of the tyies which has the approval of the United States Department of Agriculture poultry office. It is easy to keep clean and is con venient for inspection, as the sides are hinged to the bottom and are kept in place by the ridge piece, which Is separate from the rest of the buildin fT. It also has the advantage of being easily stored when not wanted as It Is collapsible. To anyone at all liandy with tools. It should present no difficulties. The base of the triangle which forms the bottom of the cooy Is two feet wide and two feet deep. It can be made easily from dry-goods boxes or other available material. Screen Front of Ccop. If It is desired to make it stationary it may be made so very easily by simply nailing fast the top, back, and ßlats In front and plaeing"it on a removable bottom. A wire-screen door (one-Inch mesh or smaller) of some ßört should be provided to place over the front at night. This will prevent rats and other enemies from entering the coop and killing the chickens, and 4'A"'Shaped Brood Coop for Hen and Chicks. will also keep the little chicks confined early in the morning, when the grass Is wet. Put a hook or clasp on the door to hold it firmly in place. The mother hen should be confined to the brood coop until the chicks are weaned. This gives the little chicks a better start In life and prevents loss from storms and hawks. Clean Brood Cocp Weekly. Clean the brood coop at least once a week, and keep it free from mites. If mites are found in the coop, it should ho thoroughly cleaned and sprayed with kerosene oil or crude petroleum. Spread from one to two Inches of sand or dry dirt or a thin layer of straw or fine hay on the lloor of the coop for a covering and move brood coops weekly to fresh ground, preferably where there is new grass. Shade is very essential in rearing chickens, especially during warm weather; therefore, place the coops in the shade whenever possible. A cornfield makes fine range for young chiekens, as they catch many bugs and worms, arid have fresh ground to run on most of the time because of the cultivation of the ground, and have abundant shade at the same time. FEEDING BARLEY TO HORSES Results Obtained in Experiments With Eight Percheron Mares on Government Farm. A test to compare the relative falue of light and heavy weight barf'ey as feeds for farmwork horses was made last year by the United States Department of Agriculture, at the experimental farm, lieltsville, Md. Kight Percheron mares were used in the test, two receiving lightweight barley, two heavyweight barley, and four receiving oats as a cheeky The test was continued -2 weeks. The mares were used in all the routine work of the farm, which Included the heavy field work of plowing, etc., during the spring months. The barley ued was the commercial grade of heavy barley (rolled) and light barley (rolled), the heavy barley weighing A7.fi and the light 40.7 pounds to the bushrl, according to the tested weights determined by grain investigations, bureau of markets. The relative gains or losses In weights of the mares fed on barley end those fed on oats were practically the same, and there wa do Indication that either feed possessed outstanding merit over the other. The weights, of the mares fed on light barley regained more constant th:;n the weight-; of the mares fed on heavy barley, and the 'former see;:ir-d to be slightly more thrifty than the latter, although the advantage seemed elkl.t.

I PLAN TO ERADICATE

DISEASE OF POTATO Intensive Warfare Being Wade to Stamp Out Wart. Ailment Usually Destroys Entire Crcp When Tubers Susceptible to It . Are Planted in Badly Infested Ground. (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) Although their efforts to eradicate the potato wart from the KM acres or less in .which it has found lodgment in the United States are as ye; inconclusive, pathological experts of the United States Department of Agriculture are continuing an intensive scientific warfare to stamp out the disease. The infection, which has been found in only 17 mining villages in Pennsylvania, West Virginia and Maryland, is one of the most stubborn with which the department has ever had to cope. Potato wart was introduced by importations of foreign potatoes prior to the establishment in 1012 of the federal quarantine prohibiting the importation A Potato Sprayer That Covers Four Rows. of potatoes from countries where the disease M'as known to occur. The disease usually completely destroys the crop when potatoes susceptible to it are planted in badly Infested soli. Soil sterilization tests by means ot steam and chemicals were carried out in infested gardens In Pennsylvania and West Virginia in 1910 and 1920. The methods tested we're: Live steam under an inverted iron pan ; a solution of formaldehyde applied to the soil, both alone and in combination with steam and the use of chemical solutions, including bordeaux mixtun, mercuric chloride, and sulphuric acid. The worth of each method was tested by planting a susceptible variety of potatoes on the treated plots. None of the chemical treatments resulted In complete eradication of the disease, and steam sterilization, while It appeared to he successful in the small trial plots, Involved such great expense and difficulty as to leave the practicability of eradication still In doubt. Additional experiments will have to be carried on before specific recommendations can be made. Specialists hope, however, tliat some method of treating the soil by heat or chemicals can be devised which will make It possible completely to eradicate potato wart from this country. The work will be actively carried forward until it is determined whether a satisfactory method can be found. RAISE EGG STANDARDS If all farmers and poultrymen would adhere strictly to the following rules in handling their poultry and eggs the quality of the eggs marketed would be much improved Poultry specialists in the United States Department of Agriculture provide the rules: 1. Keep the nests clean; provide one liest for every four hens. 2. Gather the eggs twice daTly. ' T.' it f f . ieep 1 ne eggs in U COOJ, dry room or cellar. 4. Market the eggs at least twice a week. r. Sell, kill or confine all male birds as soon as the hatching season is over. GRAIN ALLOWANCE FOR HENS If Scattered In Litter Fowls Are Com. pelled to Take Necessary Exercise to Find It. The backyard flock should have In addition to the table scraps a light feed of grain every morning. Four or five handfuls of grain about one-half pint scattered In the litter will be sufficient for a flock of 20 to 25 hens. P,y handful Is meant as much as can be grasped In the hand. Py scattering it in the litter the 'hens will be compelled to scratch In order to find the grain and In this way . to take exercise, which Is decidedly beneficial to them. In case not enough good, sound. substantial table scraps are available to furnish full feeds, both at noon and at night, another feed of the grain jiixture should be thrown Inte the litter at the night feeding and should consist of as much as the hens will eat, up clean, poultry rpeclalists In the United States Department of Agri culture say. In summer or during suitable weather the grain can be fed by scattering it on the ground outside the house. A good grain mixture for this purpose Is composed of equal parts by weight of wheat, cracked corn, and oats. Another suitable grain mixture Is composed of two parts by weight of cracked corn and nr pir: of or.ts.
