It a violation of law to catch catfish during the month of August. Some of the citizens of West Indiana, complain that the authorities of that place do not invest in igas for street lamps. The right wing of the Normal School building is under roof and the plasterers are at work. It is thought the entire building will be put under roof iby the time cold weather sets in. At a meeting of the managers of the Indiana Building and Loan ciation, held one evening last weeik, C.

C. McLain was elected president, James M. Sutton treasurer and W. R. Black secretary.

The law fixes the first of September as the time to commence the kill" ing of squirrels. Persons in the rural districts pay but little attention to the Act of Assembly. Young squirrels are large enough to shoot by the first of July. Our talented law makers did not think however. Whoever has bound oats, rye, barley or wheat in a harvest field on a hot July or August day will rejoice to hear that a genius in Kansas has invented ian automatic binder, iwihich can follow and keep up with a reaper, do the work of a half dozen men.

Farming will presently become a luxurious business, the work being chiefly mechanical and the farmer only needing to run with his machine.

MARKETING HAY IN ONE-POUND CARTONS br UnlU4 SutM of Airtotltarc.) Instead of hauling their hay 86 mllei to the nearest market as they did for a number of years, farmers of White Pine county, Nevada, are now keeping the hay at home, feeding It to dairy cows, making their cream into butter In a co-operative creamery, and selling their butter to the towns that formerly bought their hay. For some years alfalfa hay, the main cash crop In two communities, had been selling" for leas than the cost of production. To remedy this condition, progressive fann- ers and the county extension agent made a careful study of the possibilities of developing other sources of farm Income. They found that the mining towns which bonght their bay were also Importing all butter used from distant dairy centers, paying high transportation rates. As many farmers had a few cows, It was decided to try marketing the hay In the form of butter.

A creamery was organized, the dairy specialist of the state agricultural college trained butter makers, and churning was begun In May, 1923, averaging at first about 100 pounds a week. Herds have increased in production as skill in feed- Ing developed, and the market has extended as the excellent quality of the butter became known. By the end of the year, according to reports to the United Department of Agriculture, the butter sales averaged more than $1,000 a month and demand still greatly exceeded the supply. TheYHC Pastures Provide Most Economical Cow Forage Dairy farmers are urged to make their plans for growing next year's feed crop, In a statement made public by A. 0.

Baer, head of the dairy department at Oklahoma A. and M. college. Here follows a list of crops which Baer says will furnish cheap, but excellent feed for dairy stock: Early wheat, barley or rye pasture. Improved native pasture.

Sweet clover pasture for early summer. Sudan grass pasture for late summer. Early fall wheat or barley pasture. Alfalfa hay for supplementary or winter feeding. Prairie hay for suplementary or winter feeding.

Row crops, corn, kaflr or cane for the silo. Cowpeas or soy beans for hay If alfalfa cannot be grown. "Pastures provide the most economical forage for dairy cattle." Minerals for Dairy Cows "Complex salt mixtures should not be purchased by farmers," asserts the Wisconsin experiment station. the cow is getting good clover or alfalfa hay hi addition to her grates and silage the only thing she needs la addition In some common salt, possibly some bone meal or wood ashes, and, If necessary potassium or sodium Iodide to prevent goiter. There Is absolutely no need to spend money for any other minerals." Cows Develop Unevenly Dairy cows grow unevenly.

Recent tests In Missouri show that the first spurt of development cornea before birth, at the age of five or six months. The second spurt begins two months before birth and ends four and a half months after birth. The third spurt begins at about a. year after birth and ends twenty-six months after birth. To cash in on these facts, feed an abundance when growth is naturally most rapid.

Soy Beans Gain Favor Soy beans are steadily growing In favor among dairymen. They some advantage over the two crops previously mentioned. When properly Inoculated, they will grow on soils more acid in nature than alfalfa or red clover. They produce a prood yield of palatable hay if cut when the beans are Just starting to form. When weather conditions are favorable, the hay can usually be harvested without losing many of the leaves.

Alfalfa Hay Is Leader Good alfalfa hay is generally placed at the head of the list of roughages suitable for dairy cows. Little need be said of Its merits as a roughage. Were It not for the acid condition of the soil in many districts, the crop would be grown much more extensively than It now is. To overcome 4hls, dairymen are to make an application of lime and include alfalfa In the ration. Inexpensive Fly Spray A spray commonly used by Iowa dairymen and recommended by the dairy section at Iowa State college, Is made by mixing four and one-half quarts of coal tar dip, four and one- half quarts of fish oil, three quarts of coal oil, three of oil and one and one-half oB of tar.

Dissolve three pounds of laundry soap, add the spray mixture and dilute the whole to thirty with lukewarm soft watei. iptay not Truly aJrfrnot, unleM four wliddm changing from your childhood to your death. Maeterlinck. MEATLE8S MEAL6 For those who wish to eliminate meat from the diet, there are many substitutes or dishes which are sufficiently nourish Ing to take ita place. Spanish Potatoes, Boll potatoes as usmal, drain and while still hot turn into a large hot vegetable dish In which a generous portion of butter has been placed with three or four tablespoonfuls of finely-minced onion.

Chop the potatoes, mixing with the onion and butter, add salt and a few dashes of white pepper and serve very hot. If onion Is not enjoyed use the same amount of minced parsley. As the dish Is to be a hearty one, the butter must not be spared. This dish In many families where it IB well liked, Is never quite large enough. Potatoes may be served with white sauce and as much cheese as one cares to add to the dish.

Bake until well- heated through. A rich cream soup with fingers of nicely buttered toast Is always a good beginning. Salads are so many and of such variety that they of themselves may solve the problem of the main dish. Head lettuce with nuts and a heavy mayonnaise dressing is a meal of Itself. When some other dish Is served as the main one the salad may be simple either sliced cucumbers or tomatoes or head lettuce with French dressing.

Desserts for meatless meals may be richer than those commonly served. Steamed puddings with rich sauces, Ice cream with chocolate sauce, pastry of all kinds are all good in these menus. When the nut roast is baking, In the same oven bake a dish of potatoes to serve with It. Mock Sausages. Soak one-half cupful of lima beans over night in water to cover.

Drain and cook until tender, season well with salt and pepper. Put through a coarse sieve, add one-third of cupful of bread crumbs, three tabl spoonfuls of butter, a pinch of sage, and one beaten egg with salt and pepper as needed. Shape la the form of sausages, dip Into egg and crumbs and fry In deep fat. Serve rings of apple overlapping, around the sausages. She KITCHEN 1924, Western Newspaper Union.) A person's character IB the reality of himself.

His reputation is the opinion others have formed of him. is in him. Reputation is from other people. SPECIAL GOOD THINGS When cooking asparagus the 'stalks with the thumb nail; if tender and easily penetrated it cook; quickly; the tougher portions should be cut off and cooked first, then remove them and add the tender portions; this saves all flavor. If one likes the (asparagus served without cutting into bits, tie up and cook in the bunch.

Then serve Ithree or four stalks with butter sauce toast. Fried a chicken by cutting it into serving pieces, then marinate for three hours in one part of lemon juice to three of olive oil, with such herbs and seasonings as one desires. Drain and dip each piece In beaten egg, season well with salt and pepper nnd fry in deep fat. Drain, place on a platter and pour round it a Bauce prepared with a cupful each of milk and veal stock, thickened with egg yolk, and seasoned with minced parsley, mushrooms and a little lemon Juice. Raspberry one cupful of canned raspberries, two to four ta blespoonfuls of powdered sugar, one- half pint of cream and two egg whites.

Whip the cream, then the egg, and com bine the two. Stir in the raspberries and the sugar. The fresh berries a best, but canned will do. Mash the fresh berries and mix with an equal amount of sugar. Caramel one-fourth of a package of gelatin in one-fourth ot 'a cupful of water, brown one-half cupful of sugar, add one cupful of boiling water, stir until dissolved, add the gelatin and stir over ice water until 'thick.

Have ready two egg whites beaten stiff, add them to the gelatin mixture, continue beating until stiff. into a mold and serve with thin cream. Club one and one-hall cupfuls of cooked chicken, twelve slices of bacon, three tomatoes and a bunch of lettuce. Arrange the lettuce on individual plates, place on each a peeled tomato, a little diced cooked bacon and mayonnaise dressing, top with some of the chicken, more mayonnaise and sprig of parsley. Around the dish arrange toast points fashion, using four or six.

KING, Secretary of the Commonwealth, Annuities Were Issued in Early Babylonian Historically annuities antedate Ufa insurance by far. It is thought that the great development of banking fa- dlltles in Assyria and Babylonia must have provided annuities. The first definite mention of them, however, was 40 B. C. In Rome, and is of siJkJh character as to justify a belief that they had been long in use.

In the Middle ages, kingdoms, municipalities and bankers 'obtained money by selling annuities for life or terms of years. It is said that England's national existence during the won of William of Orange was largely maintained through the money obtained by selling annuities. At first the values of such contracts were termlned without scientific calculation after a while the Northampton mortality table fas compiled and used as a basis, and later the- Carlisle table, but both these bases were far too favorable to the annuities. Several British companies took advantage of the very low price at which their government granted annuities and purchased many on the lives of sturdy farmers, but payable to their corporate selves, and thus made large) profits. In 1819 an English actuary, warned the government that it was losing £8,000 a month, but he was not until 1827, when another ac.

tuary announced that the government was losing £4,000 a week, and then the sale of annuities was stopped af-j ter an estimated total loss of Work.
