The following is a poem copied from
the Saturday North American. See how
it expresses the truth of man, the only
animal endowed with reason:
Only a human father,
A man with power to think,
Will take from little children
The price of food and drink.
No fledgling feeds the father bird!
No chicken feed the hen!
No kitten mouses for the cat—
This glory is for men.
We are the wisest strongest race—
Loud may our praise be sung!
The only animal alive
That lives upon its young.
Where the Women and Children Can Help.
HARRISBURG, May 20.—“I am glad that
Governor Brumbaugh has fixed May 26th
as a ‘State-wide Good Roads Day.’ I
wish that I could go out with the men
folks and help, but how can I?”
This is what the women say. There
are many ways in which the women and
children can help in making “Good Roads
Day” successful. The most practical, of
course, is by preparing and serving to
the workmen along the highways near
their homes, a goodly supply of lunch.
Feed the men folks well and they will
work all the harder. You needn’t cook
a great big dinner; you needn’t make a
market basket full of sandwiches; you
needn't brew a dozen gallons of coffee or
tea, but you can furnish a ham, several
loaves of bread, buckets of cool spring
water with dippers in them, and you and
the children can carry this to the nearest
point beneath the shade trees along the
road at the noon hour and call the work-
ers from their toil to partake of refresh-
ments.
That's one way and a mighty good way
to help make the “State-wide Good Roads
Day” successful. Try it.
Mark Cows to Prevent Loss.
STATE COLLEGE, PA, May 14.—Proper
marking for cows in dairy herds at this
time of the year is advocated by Profes-
sor C. W. Larson, head of the dairy hus-
bandry of The Pennsylvania State Col-
lege. He suggests round ear tabs or the
use of tatooes as permanent means of
identification.
“Every animal, especially the younger
ones,” said Professor Larson, ‘should
have marks and records of these marks
should be taken so that when they are
on pasture they can be identified. Often
animals are lost when on pasture. For
that reason the markings are important.
Metal markers are not so satisfactory as
the sorts mentioned, because they are
easily lost.”

“That prima donna must love music
thoroughly.” “Oh, I don't know,” re.

to get a bit of pleasure out of hear.

College Test Shows Pot Grown Tomato |
Plants Best.
STATE COLLEGE, PA., May 14—For earli- '
ness and largest yield tomato plants
should be grown in tin cans, paper or’
Medical.
Good Advice
earthen pots until danger of frost has A BELLEFOTNE CITIZEN GIVES |
passed and then be transplanted to the
field or garden, said Professor M. G.!
Kains, head of the horticultural depart- |
ment of the Pennsylvania State College. '
The best results in last year’s tests were |
obtained where several seeds were sown
direct in each pot and all but the strong-
est plant weeded out. But nearly as good
results were obtained when the ‘seedlings |
were transplanted from flats—first to pots
and later to the field.
The poorest results were observed
when the plants were moved from flats
direct to the field. In the pot method
the roots are all intact when transplanted
and the plants are ready to bloom if not
actually in blossom or with little fruits.
Plants in flats, however, lose much of
their root system and are therefore check-
ed when ozed to the open ground.
Professor C. E. Myers, of the State Col-
lege faculty, has been conducting several
tomato breeding experiments for which |
especially fine strains of the leading |
varieties have been grown in pots for this
season's transplanting. The surplus
plants are being sold off at the usual
market prices for delivery about May
20th to those who send for them. In this
way a large number of growers may be-
come acquainted with the choicest varie-
ties of this vegetable.

ly of Doan’s Kidney Pills now as we
did some years ago when we pub-
licly recommended them. They
brought relief from backache and

Doan’s Kidney Pills and they have
always been of ‘the greatest benefit.
We recommend them to other kid-
ney sufferers at every opportunity.”
