Flamingoes in full plumage are most
gorgeous birds, for their top feathers '
are almost scarlet, some of those on the
wing are jet black and underneath some
are white. A full-grown bird is often
from live to six feet in height.
When they are flying they stretch
out their long necks and legs as far as
possible, which makes them look very
funny. This particular kind that you
see here comes from the south of

France and Spain. They make a noise
I very like geese.
And they build themselves curious
nests of mid and earth scraped logt ther
| so as to form a small hillock with a
hole on the top. Sometimes the hillock
is as much as 23 or 24 inches high.
In the countries where they are found
they go about in flocks of 300 or 400 to
gether. When they are feeding senti
nel flamingoes stand at each end of
the flock to give notice of any approach
ing danger.- These sentinels don't at
tempt to eat till the others have fin
ished, but stand with necks erect and
heads constantly turning, always keep
ing a sharp lookout.
When flying they form themselves
into bands, each band evidently being
under the command of a leader, and in
i spite of their long necks and legs they
are wonderfully graceful.
Like lots of other long-legged birds,
flamingoes love to stand on one leg and
tuck the other up out of sight.—Phila

WESTERN FARM LIFE.
It la Not Ahvn)< I'iensnni ninl th«
Wives of Pioneers Are the
Chief Sufferers.
Many farmers' wives in the east hard
ly realize the comfort that surrounds
them, even in an old-fashioned house
with few modern conveniences, as com
pared with the privations encountered
on some of the virgin prairies. It is
true that communities build up rapidly
In the great west, and the sod house of
one generation soon gives way to the
convenient modern dwelling of the next,
but life is hard for every pioneer, and
some of its greatest trials fall to the
women. A witty woman once observed
that her sympathies were not so much
with the Pilgrim Fathers as with their
wives; they endured a!l the hardships
that the Pilgrim Fathers did, and the
Pilgrim Fathers, too! In like manner,
when we read of the courageous home
! steaders who fight drought and cloud
bursts, grasshoppers and blizzards, until
.Vi' >' i
NEBRASKA SOD HOUSE,
the virgin prairie is harnessed to its
work of feeding the world, we think of
lonely women, like the one who stands
in front of that pitiful little sod house |
in Nebraska, shown in the cut. Our
friends tell us that a sod house or a dug-
I out is often very comfortable, but the
housekeeper has to renounce many
things that she thought necessities in
the tree-embowered home "back east." <
We should like to visit awhile with that
Nebraska housewife, who stands up
so courageously by her front door; we
have no doubt she has met many house
keeping problems, and bravely sur
mounted them, and we hope the rich sod
beneath her feet will produce among its
other crops a modern farmhouse that
will make up for all the privations she J
may first pass through.—Rural New
Yorker.
CUTTING AND FEEDING CORN.
Hon n Farmer C"i*n Ohtnin Full Ilcut
lit of Ills Crop K.\ pin i n t*(l liy
an AKricnlturiMf.
No farmer receives the full benefit
from his crop unless he feeds both the
fodder and grain, writes Kred H. Suhre,
in Orange Judd Farmer. The best plan
is to purchase a corn binder and cut
the crop with it. My experience proves
:hat it is cheaper than to have it cut
by hand. One man with a machine can
cut six to eight acres a day, and two
men can shock it. Com cut this way
and bound in bundles is easier handled,
whether hauled to a shredder or husked
by hand. I have a feed cutter and a
four-horse sweep power, with which I
used to cut my fodder, but I found that
I can have this work done cheaper and
better with a combined husker and
shredder.
My cattle waste less shredded fodder
than they do good clover hay. I never
plan to fatten my cattle on grain, but
intend to feed enough to keep them in
good growing condition, so they will
fatten readily when turned on grass. I
live three miles from a mill where I
can have my corn ground on a corn and
cob grinder for seven cents per 100
pounds. This mill will grind about 30
bushels an hour, therefore I never have
to wait very long when getting a load of
corn ground. This is much cheaper for
e than to have a mill of my own, for
1 think that to do a good job of grind
ing power should be had from e. steam
or gasoline engine, the cost of which
is too much for me, as I seldom have
over 35 cattle, old and young.
Every Intelligent farnu r knows it
pays to feed some grain to cattle in
winter, but about the first of January,
when the corn gets hard and dry, some
of nty cows will not eat It on cob, there
fore I must have It ground. I believe
If It Is ground with the cob It Is more
easily digested than corn meal. Cattle
not being fed heavily, rat their grain
rapidly. If com Is fed on the cob, I
think enough Is wasted to more titan
pay for grinding.

"Last winter 1 suffered very much with
Rheumatism. I could neither walk nor

"1 took medicine from different doctors,
but they did not do me any good. Then
I tried Dodd's Kidney Pills procured for
me by a good friend. After I had taken
the first box I felt already a heap better;
