Is well worthy of honor Southern journal puts forward the claims of the sunflower as the national emblem. There is nowhere such a yellow as on the petals of the biggest and most cheerfully nodding of all black-eyed Susan’s we have there is nowhere such a richness as in the brown of its seeded heart. Nothing that grows is so friendly so gracefully comfortable through a open window or brushing idly and happily up against ones person. It is no weakling the strong and lusty sunflower it is largely masculine with its straightness disdain or pampering and love of the air it breathes and soil from which it springs, Adversity but builds its stronger and extremes of weather affects it little. Our national flower the king monarch complacent ruler of every flower that waves, Everything about king sunflower is typically American and has a democrat to the fiber and root of his being w hich is just what we want in America at this time, Macon telegraph.

END OF COLUMN 1 PAGE D, COLUMN 2 White runner ducks are egg producers, In these days of practical utility it is interesting to note the headways made by the lighter breeds of essentially egg laying ducks more especially the white runner. The runner misnamed Indian because of its originated in the Indies, now includes various colors the fawn and white pure white and black blue and penciled, and thought it might be inferred that the white might be subject to weakness when the line bred for heavy egg yield such is not the case so far and there need be little fear of inherent weakness and consequent deterioration occurring. The specimens shown herewith together with a whole flock have never been housed since they were hatched successfully weathering the severe spring of 1910 and winter of 1916-17 with no shelter than afforded a walled kitchen garden in the west of England, Such a severe test naturally weeded out the weakling right from the first severe frost and snows, and the remainder showed no ill effects since. In fact eggs are fertilized on land without swimming water. The percentage of infertilities never exceeded 5 per cent when three ducks are mated to one drake hitching January to June and Sept to November, these results are excellent when the great number of eggs are producers is considered and shows the advantage of maintaining highly bred stock under natural hardening conditions. Doubtless many of the diseases fowls are subject to more especially coup and complaints of that class are contracted by being too closely confined or through draughty houses, ducks appear immune from most of the disease hens are heir to. LEGHORN IN FAVOR Produce eggs cheaper than fowls of so called general purpose breeds, Most profitable to keep. Fact established in rather extensive feeding test conducted by poultry men of the department agriculture. From the united states department of agriculture. Leghorns produce eggs cheaper than hens of the general purpose breeds, Plymouth rocks, Wyandottes, Rhode Island Reds and Orpingtons. This fact which confirms the belief and experience of commercial poultry farmers was one of the results obtained in a rather extensive feeding test recently reported by poultry men of the united states department of agriculture. Because they lay as many or more eggs, eat only about fifty five pounds of feed per head as compared with seventy to eighty five pounds eaten by general purpose breeds, and because their eggs yield very material exceeds that of general purpose breeds during their second and third laying years, leghorns the specialists say undoubtedly are more profitable to keep for the production of eggs only. Result of the feed test, In this test the feed cost of a dozen eggs for one of the leghorn pens was 7.34 cents in 1913, while the average cost of all pens of the general purpose breeds was 10.6 cents. In 1914 the feed cost of a dozen eggs for the same pen of leghorns was 8.7 cents as against an average eggs 15.1 cents for the second laying of the general purpose pens. The leghorns produce smaller eggs than the general purpose breeds, On average weight of the eggs of leghorns during the first laying season was 1.42 pounds per dozen against 1.53 to 1.58 pounds a dozen for other pens. Value of eggs The value per dozen eggs produced by the leghorns was from 3 cents less each year than eggs from general purpose hens, This difference is due to the fact that the general purpose breeds are better winter layers than the leghorns while the leghorns give better production in the spring and summer, very few leghorns become broody which probably mainly affects their egg yield as compared with the general purpose breeds. Cold Brooder made useful, Device can be put together at home with aid of some box and flannel strips. Cold brooders are used as well as artificially heated ones, these brooders can be purchased ready made or they can be made at home, A shallow box can be used, it should be tight except at one end which is sometimes left entirely open or a good sized hole can be left at one end, It is a good play to put a woolen cloth on the floor so as to keep the feet of the chicks warm. A paper can be laid over the floor daily so it will not get dirty. Strips of flannel should be suspended from the top in which the chicks may be hovered. Spots found on egg yolks, If flock is healthy specks need not cause no special uneasiness see to green feed. It is not unusual to find spots on the yolks of eggs, Sometimes these spots look like mold again there will be blood clots, blood streaks small worms and even bits of fecal matter. When a flock is laying occasional eggs with spots every egg should be candled. Candling every egg to be marketed is better ways but this is the exception rather than the rule. A perfectly normal flock will lay some eggs with blood spots during the heavy laying season. If the flock is healthy these spots need cause to special tastelessness. If the hens are suffering from liver trouble and diarrhea try to --- the trouble and remedy the conditions. It seems unnecessary to recommend more green food and yet some chickens in the country are yarded on bare grounds and scarcely a spear of grass. But onion tops, alfalfa and even medallions in the pen if the chickens have range on good tender grass. END OF COLUMN 2 PAGE D, COLUMN 3 BEST CHICKENS FOR MARKET Select those as far as possible of uniform size keep fowls free from vermin. Sort out the chickens for market and choose as nearly as possible those of uniform size, Keep them free from lice all the time a forlorn chick scratching in the market place is proper advertisement. Feeding The August Chicks Give young fowls to hen at edge of corn field where they will have shade and range. Feed these august chicks to themselves give them to hens at the edge of a corn field where they will have shade and mellow ground, let them have the range of stubble field and they will grow like weeds and be ready to lay in the spring when the hens are sitting. Keep the chickens busy Keep the chickens busy where you want then to be, dig up ground give them dust heap to reveal in sand heap to scratch in and food for the working of it. Hens are born thieves Some old hens are born thieved of chickens, unless watched they will pluck up a family larger 'than they can care for with the results that the chicks will suffer. END OF COLUMN 3 PAGE D, COLUMN 4 BIG CROPS IN WESTERN CANADA Good yields of wheat splendid production of pork, beef, mutton and wool. The latest reports give an assurance of good grain crops throughout most of western Canada, where the wheat, oats and barley are now being harvested about ten days earlier than last year. Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and Alberta are all doing their bit in a noble way towards furnishing food for the allies. While the total yield of wheat will not be as heavy as in 1915 there are indications that it will be an average crop in most of the districts. A letter received at the St Paul office of the Canadian government from a farmer near Della Alberta says harvest in that district is one month earlier than last year, his wheat crop is estimated at 35 bushels per acre while some of his neighbors will have more, the average in the district will be about 30 bushels per acre. Now with the price of wheat in the neighborhood of $2 per bushel it is safe to say that there will be very few farmers but will be able to bank from forty to fifty dollars per acre after paying all expenses of seeding harvesting and threshing as well as taxes, the price of land in this district is from $25 to $30 per acre, what may be said of this district will apply to almost any other in Manitoba, Saskatchewan or Alberta. Many farmers have gone to western Canada from the United States in the past three years or four years, who having had the pleasure of completing the payments before they were due. They have made money out of their crops during the past couple of years and if they are successful in the future as in the past they will have put themselves and their families beyond all possibility of lack of money for the rest of their lives, It is not only in wheat that the farmers of western Canada are making money, there hogs have brought them wealth and hogs are easy to raise here, barley is plentiful and grass abundant and the climate just the kind that hogs glory in. The price is good and likely to remain so for a long time. A few days since a farmer from Daysland Alberta shipped a carload of hogs to the St. Paul market and got a higher price than ever before paid on that market. Two million three hundred and seventy seven thousand two hundred and fifty dollars was received at Winnipeg for western hogs during the first six months of this year. 181.575 hogs were sold at an average price of $15,the raising of hogs is a profitable and continually growing industry of western Canada and this class of stock is raised an economically here as anywhere on the north American continent. There is practically no disease and immense quantities of food can be produced cheaply. It has told for years that the grass of western Canada supply to both beef and milk producers the nutritive properties that go to the development of both branches. The stories that are now being published by dairymen and beef cattle men verify all the predictions that have been made regarding the country's importance in the raising of both beef and dairy cattle. The sheep industry is developing rapidly. At a sale at Calgary 151,453 pounds of wool were disposed of at sixty cents a pound, at a sale at Edmonton 60,000 pounds were sold at even better prices than sold at Calgary. The total clip this season will probably approximate two million pounds. Many reports are to hand showing from six to eight pounds per fleece. 35 carloads were sent to Toronto market alone.

Got a father depending on you he was asked? No Got a mother or a sister or a brother or a wife? No Then what do you want the exemption for? Because I belong to the naval defense service he replied and I just got a letter to report at once for foreign service. Philadelphia ledger. Important Discovery Commercial and technical papers are printing an article from Manchester, England in which it is said that an English chemist has succeeded in devising a method by which atmospheric nitrogen may be fixed in England at low cost enough to make the process commercially practicable and that it is in operation on a small scale. That has not been possible heretofore because England lacks the abundant and cheap water power required for the generation of electricity. Muffled Firing What is silent influence?

END OF COLUMN 4 PAGE D, COLUMN 5 MEN HAVE QUEER AVERSIONS Cases have been related of some who would faint at the mere sight of roses. It is related of a monk who would faint on seeing a rose and who never quilted his cell in the monastery while the flower was blooming. Another authority tells us of how VINCENT the great painter would swoon upon going suddenly into a room where roses were blooming says London Tidbits. VALTAID tells us of an army officer who was frequently thrown into violent convulsions by coming in contact with the little flower known as the pink, while the same authority also tells of the case of a lady who if present when linseed was being boiled for any purpose would be seized with violent fits of coughing, swelling of the face and partial loss of reason for the ensuing 24 hours. Writing of these peculiar antipatables and aversions, MONTIGUE remarks that he has known men of undoubted courage who would much rather face a shower of cannon balls than look at an apple. In ZIMMERMAN'S writings there is an account of a lady who could not bear to touch either silk or satin and would almost faint if by accident she should happen to touch the velvety skin of a peach. WOULD CONSERVE GARBAGE The largest campaign to be launced by the department of agriculture is one for the conservation of garbage. Conservation campaigns have been cutting down the contents of the garbage pail as far as possible, but there will always be a source of fats and fertilizer material, both of which are sorely needed all over the world. The department hopes to induce every city of any size to install a reduction plant to recover these materials from garbage. An average load of garbage contains 2 per cent of grease and 20 per cent of tank age the latter is a valuable fertilizer. The food conservation campaign however is showing its results in a reduction of the amount of fatty material in the garbage. GAS FIRES NEW GUN In a new gun the propelling agent is compressed carbon dioxide, the carbon dioxide contained in a small case that ads into the gunstock and that holds enough gas for from 100 to 800 shots. Pulling the trigger releases the requisite amount of the gas to propel the shot from a barrel. With small shot the gun has a range of about 80 feet with bullets in range of about 130 feet.

Needing a change Some people think that they need a change of air when what they need is a change of self. They imagine they would be benefited by different surroundings when the trouble is with their disposition. The girls who are so irritable that the household fairly walk on their tiptoes need a change to be sure but the change should be with in not on the surface.

Feed the fighters Win the war Harvest the crops save the yields. On the battlefields of France and Flanders the united states boys and the Canadian boys are fighting side by side to win for the world freedom that prussiasim would destroy. While doing this they must be fed and every ounce of muscle that can be requisition must go into use to save this year’s crop. A short harvest period requires combined forces of the two countries in team work, such are the soldier boys in France and Flanders are demonstrating. The combined fighters in France and Flanders and the combines of harvest will bring the allied victory nearer. A reciprocal arrangement for the use of farm workers has been perfected between the department of the interior of Canada and the department of labor and agriculture of the united states under which is proposed to permit the harvesters that are now engaged in the wheat fields of Kansas, Iowa, North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Minnesota and Wisconsin to move over into Canada with the privileges of later returning to the United States when crops in the United States have been conserved and help to save the enormous crops in Canada which by that time will be ready for harvesting.

Yes lift a corn without pain, Cincinnati man tells how to dry up a corn or callus so it lifts off with angers. You corn pestered men and women need suffer no longer. Wear the shoes that nearly killed you before says this Cincinnati authority because a few drops of freezone applied directly on a tender aching corn or callus steps soreness at once and soon the corn or hardened callus loosened so it can be lifted off and all without pain. A small bottle of freezone costs very little at any drugstore but will positively take off every hard or soft corn or callus. This should be tried so it’s inexpensive and is said not to irritate the surrounding skin. If your druggist hasn't any freezone tell him to get a small bottle for you from his wholesale dealer.

Mean to say that if we licked some country we wouldn't have the right to take some of their possessions. Not the moral right we couldn't annex an island for instance whose inhabitants do not speak our language sympathize with our civilizations or comprehend our institutions, such an island would never become an integral part of America no matter what the geography said.
