With its darkening colors it would make sleep come to who were tired after the great efforts of the day. those It would be like pulling together the shutters so that the light would stay only this was so much Git, of the evening. This simply shut out the light, It was evening pulling together her shut- ters so that day would not disturb the sleepers and the weary ones, And, as evening came, moths and flyers of the night came dancing forth. the “Evening,” they cried softly, as they flew about, “lovely, lovely evening.” Then a glorious fragrance filled the air and the moths gave little whirrs of delight. They flew here, they flew there, they prepared their eager tongues for the great feast to come. For the evening primroses awakened. Ever since the sun had gone down they had been slowly opening. In the gardens the evening primrose relatives would open with a pop and a snap, and all of a sudden. But not go with the wild primroses, They would unfold themselves slow- ly and little by little their perfume would waft itself upon the alr of the night. “Ah, the moths would whisper to the banquets given had are tonight” as they by how lovely yon cume the ove ning primroses, And nod their gay ye moths could see in the night dusk, and rnrimye 3 at 1 rimroses would the evening i low heads which the would answer: “Oh, you little Moth little Moth flatterers.” “But it's true,” the answer.

To quote Marian Roalfe Cox again: “The of the untu- tored savage is simple but consistent, He that plants and (trees, like animals, show undoubted signs of life and he reasonably attributes souls to them. For he can interpret the actions of nature by putting them on a level with his own actions” sure cure pettie Sometimes wher place a dock “In Nettle stinged me I'l Kill will cure logic observes only That was the logic of primitive man as it is the logic of the "untutored savage” of today. Among the ancients there was a distinction between tree worship and what might be called tree animism: between the tree regarded as a god and the tree regarded as the abode of a soul or spirit; though in some cases the line of demarcation is shaowy. While tree worship was enormously widespread, actual plant worship appears to have been extreme. ly rare, and plant “animism” general. Various fortuitous reasons caused cer. tain magical qualities to be assigned to certain plants. These were be lieved to exist in them along with their sentient qualities. For some reason the dock has, in folk-medicine, always been held to have a cooling ef tect. Perhaps the green leaf applied to an inflamed surface actually has such an effect: and this would be as eribed by primitive man to the section of the spirit of the dock plant. Bound on the wrist the dock leaf Is still sup posted to cure fever, and as In the present case the irritation caused by nettle stings.

If it Is intended to make the growing pigs on alfalfa pasture ready for market at the earliest possi- ble date, they can be fed fo very good advantage by putting corn or barley and oats or middlings and tankage pach in separate compartments of a gelf-feeder and be allowed to eat as much as they care for each of the feeds. A good slop can be made by first making a dry mixture of 50 per cent corn or ground barley, 40 per cent middiings or reddog flour, and 10 per cent tankage, then mak- ing this Into a swill by mixing it with skim milk, buttermilk, or water. {t should not be necessary, however, to feed any swill to pigs receiving grain from a self-feeder while on al- falfa pasture, unless one is desirous of getting the most rapid gains possi- ple, rather than the most economical gains, Young Geese Difficult Distinguishing the sex in young geese causes considerable concern to many and yet the differences In sex are quite marked. Take the bird in question and remove it from the flock, leave it loose in a pen and in sight of the flock and listen to the call, The female has a voice with a high note and of a double sound, while the male is bass in sound and of a single note, Mate one male with two or three females. Confine the mating in a pen by themselves, away from all other geese and keep them by themselves from December until spring when the breeding season commences, When ofice they are properly mated different matings can be allowed to run togeth- er during the winter and they will separate out in the spring, each male mating with the same females as in ‘he previous mating season. Wake Up at Last to Big Soy Bean Value Grown in United States for More Than Century. Although it has been more than a century since soy beans were brought to the United States from Japan, it is only in recent years that the value of the crop has been recognized, and the acreage in the Middle West and South has increased more rapldly than the acreage of any other crop. For several decades the beans were grown only as a feed for live stock. tecently, however, attention has been given to the extraction from the seed of a valuable oll, used not only in live stock feed and in human food, but commercially in the manufacture of paints and varnishes, Soy beans as a source of human food have al- ways been important in the Orient and there is a growing use of the country.

Agricultural Hints June 15 to July 15 Is the principal season for sowing alfalfa. - * » Potash is needed on most sandy types of soil, also on muck and chafly soils, . * - Order seeds and fertilizers at the game time. Then you will be ready for a flying start. - * - One can grow the green Italian broccoll now in the market at home as easy as anything. Order some seed. . . - Kill weeds In lawns and along fence rows before they go to seed. A great deal of hard work later will thus be prevented. . . » There ls no safer investment than money &pent in draining fertile soll on which crops suffer from too much moisture, . 8 » The ladybug is the grower's best friend. If you see one in your house this spring, trying to find a warm place to hide, resist the temptation to swat it. The ladybug eats plant lice. . * » Midsummer cultivation in the gar den and orchard is too often neglect. ed. It is at this time that many spe cles of weeds are making their seeds.
