Too Good to Be True. A woman, wearing an anxious ex pression, called at an Insurance office one morning. "I understand," she said, "that for $5 I can insure my house for $1000 in your company," "Yes," replied the agent, "that is right If your house burns down we pay you X100O." "And," continued the woman anx iously, "do you make any Inquiries as to the origin of the fire!" . "Certainly," was the prompt reply "we make the most careful inquiries, madam." . "Oh!" and she turned to leave the office "I thought there was a catch in It somewhere. ' ' A Long View. ."

Exercise Great Care In Making First Sed, Using Horse Manure, With a Small Proportion of Long, . Strawy Litter. (By B. KNEELAND, Agriculturist Copy. ' : , right, ;1814.) . The great demand tor mushrooms is not only constant, but far below the supply, and as they sell for from 20 to 60 cents per pound their cultivation Is worth considering. Any one who has a bit of space In the cellar where the temperature can be kept at 57 degrees Fahrenheit can easily raise mushrooms. Make a first bed on the ground In a semi-dark cor--ner, using great care in the selection of material to be used for the bed. Use horse manure,' composed largely of short manure, with a small propor tion of long, strawy litter, adding loam' or rich soil at the rate of one bushel of soU to four or five bushels of ma nure. This mixture should be pre pared by stacking, turning, shaking and reBtacking every! three or four days until it Is in condition for pre paring the bed. These operations per mit of the escape of'noxious gases and prevent burning. Keep moist, but not too wet, and In about two weeks the material will be ready for use. The bed should be 12 to 14 Inches thick (two to three feet wide, and long as desired) after being thoroughly pound ed down so as to become firm, level and compact; and then cover with long straw. If the material IB in proper shape the mercury In the thermometer- (which comes expressly for this work) will rise to 100 degrees or more, then slowly fall. When 90 degreeB is reached time for planting the spawn has comei If English mushroom spawn is used bisak It Into pieces two Inches square and plant nine Inches apart each way and two Inches deep. Be sure to firm the manure over the spawn, and after the spawn has been planted a week or ten days it should begin "run ning;" then spread a coat of rich. loamy soil an Inch thick over the bed, the surface being made smooth and firm; cover It with litter and keep the temperature at 57 degrees Fahrenheit. The bed should be kept covered until exhausted. Many failures are caused by overwatering. . While mushroomB thrive best in a soil which will not crack, but, kept moist enough to press together nicely, still It should not be wet. On the other hand, if allowed to become too dry the bed becomes ex hausted before the crop Is harvested. Always use lukewarm water. The mushrooms should appear in six or eight weeks unless there 1b some de fect in material, temperature or moist ure, In which case they may remain barren for two or three months and then turn out excellent crops. POWDERY SCAB OF POTATOES Farmers, of United States Lose Over $30,000,000 Every Year From Disease of Tuber. That the farmers of the United States lose over thirty million dollars every year from potato diseases la a statement that the United States de partment of agriculture considers as under the mark rather than other wise. The list of parasites responsible for this loss Is a long one.. Early blight, late blight, scab, blackleg, wilt, powdery dry-rot, and others are al ready wide-spread,, and new trouble are discovered every year. Several of the worst plant diseases have come to us from foreign countries, and It was to exclude these unwelcome visitors that congress passed last year a quar antine law under which potatoes from the British Isles, Germany, Austria, Newfoundland, St. Plerro and Mlque- lon are now excluded on account ot the wart disease, a dreaded pest which transforms the tubers Into ir regular, unrecognizable, black, warty masses. Powdery scab of the potato resem bles to the untrained eye the common scab, but is in reality a markedly dif ferent disease, apparently of greater sk.3w ' ' '( f PLOW SHOE IS QUITE HANDY Device Shown In Illustration Makes the Task of Moving Cumbersome Implement Easy.

GREAT VALUE OF FERTILITY Rotation Will Enable Us to Grow Crop for a Time, But Children Will Pay the Penalty. The fertility of the soil is not like a bank account, which is "tangible, in sight, can be drawn out at one or more times or at will of the deposit ors, says the American Cultivator. The soil is an Investment with many quali fying conditions, viz: Available plant food, physical condition and moisture. These are In a great measure under the control of the farmer. Inasmuch as no plant has the ability to make some thing out of nothing, each crop grown of necessity must take available plant food out ot the soil, which never comes back in most cases. In figuring the cost of production, the value ot the plant food taken should be charged against tha crop, Just as much as that added in way of manure or chemicals. In our experience in footing the cost ot production we have charged the loss of plant food against the crop grown in proportion to the yield. In the legumes we have credited the crop with the added nitrogen. And that Is not all the Improved physical condition of the toll has a value that cannot be meas ured. If we are not going to charge the crop with the lost fertility, then we should not credit It with the added. Ro tation of crops may enable us for a time to grow profitable crops, but, sooner or later, our children, or their children will pay the penalty. Fertil ity mean a valuable sset In the farmer's hands. Potato Attacked by Powdery Scab. Importance. As far as is known, it is not generally distributed iu the United States, although it has been found In one or two localities. Every ef fort should be made to prevent the spread of this new disease by the destruction of ail Infected potatoes. It causes the formation of round pus tules with raised edges, which may vary in size and number. (See illus tration.) If they are numerous, the whole surface of tho potato may be come covered and the eyes destroyed, These pustules contain when mature or at harvesting time a brown dust. This powdery substance consists of countless small spore balls, which may remain alive In the soil for several years and infect the future cropB. . , . The question now betore the de partment of agriculture is whether this scab is of such a dangerous char acter that the exclusion of potatoes from all foreign countries will be Justified. Such a quarantine would involve Canada and probably nearly all European countries not already under the wart-disease embargo. 1 , L ATTENTION TO SETTING HENS Fowl Should Be Given Plenty of Wa ter and Corn Dust With Insect ' . Powder to Kill Vermin. A sitting hen should have plenty of water every day; she should also have plenty of corn to keep up her body heat lust about all she can eat. ' If confined closely don't forget her grit, and a bit of fat meat occasionally will help her to keep warm. Be, sure to dust hei with insect powder, at least twice, to got rid of all lice. .Give her Just what eggs she can cover nicely, remembering to tako into considera tion her size and the cold weather, Better give a hen 11 eggs, which she can cover nicely, than to give her 15, which she cannot keep warm. If you have trouble iu getting a hen to sit where you want her, move her after dark; then cover her closely so the nest will be dark all the next day, and so the hen cannot stand up. Put an egg or so under her and leave her alone over the second night After that she will usually sit contented. Gentleness and kind treatment are necessary In the successful handling of sitting hens. Any roughness shown causes them to become rest less and untrustworthy on the nest, tendering them liable to break their eggs, if nothing more. Keep them quiet, comfortable and well fed; give them as much chance to exercise as rou can, and If the eggs are good you will get pretty fair hatches even in very cold weather. It your Bitters are wild and Inclined to fly from the nest every time the attendant comes into their presence, try hanging a curtain In front of the aests until they get settled down to business. Sometimes, particularly so With Leghorns, it is necessary to leave the curtain hanging all through the period of Incubation. Always go to the nests ot the flighty hens after dark. If you have no special sitting room n nd must have other hens lay ing In the vicinity of your sitting hens, collect the eggs after dark. FACTS ABOUT RUNNER DUCKS Will Produce 200 Eggs Far More Eas ily Than Any Hen Proposition for Any Poultryman. (By L. M. BENNINGTON.) Among all the openings tor making money on the farm, I doubt that there is another to which so many are look ing with eager interest and with such real hope, as hundreds are giving to the raising of Indian Runner ducks. This Is largely because nearly every farm produces eggs, every family In our land eats eggs, and the Runner is pre-eminently an egg producer. Given a duck that will lay 200 eggs far more easily than any hen can do it, and the fact that the eggs of the mature bird are one-half larger than those of the average ben, and we have a proposition calculated to make any egg producer sit up and open his eyes, and one which every egg-producer ought to try out to see whether for him the Indian Runner Is a better money producer than the hen. ......

Planked Is, of Course, the Most Pop ular, and Probably the Best Never Should Be Fried Salad to ' Go With It. There Is no more tempting or deli cious dish than shad. . Shad may be prepared In many ways; probably the most popular is planked shad. Many housewives think Buch a dish out of the question, but all that one needs is a good hot fire and a plank. Be sure, however, to sea son and garnish your fish before It Is placed on the table, or it will not be a succesB. 1 You ask how can I get a plank? A carpenter will make you one of oak about two inches thick for the small sum ot 50 cents. It can be used In definitely for the constant charring of the wood, only adds to the flavor of the fish. . . .. . To plank shad first wash and wipe the whole fish thoroughly. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, then fill it with this stuffing: Two cupfuls of bread crumbs or mashed potatoes, a grating of onion, a tablespoonful of parsley. butter the size of an egg. With a sharp knife cut three or four slits in the upper side of the fish, and put a thin slice of bacon in each open ing. It should be baked in a mod erate oven for 30 minutes. If you cook with gas bake it for part of the time in the oven, then brown and fin ish under the flame. , The proper salads to serve with shad are watercress and tomato, cu cumbers and onions, or a salad of radishes cut thin and laid on lettuce leaves. Broiled shad may be accomplished with the ordinary broiler, but great care should be taken lest the fish Is seared, If It Is cooked over the open coals. Wise housewives never fry shad, as it is apt to absorb the grease and it loses much of its dainty flavor. If prepared in this manner. An unusual recipe for shad is to put It in a sour pickle, and let It remain there for a day or so, then serve for a light supper. The shad should be cut in squareB about three inches square, then boiled for 20 minutes. Heat some vinegar, season with pep per and salt, and crush some allspice in it. Pour this hot over the fish and keep it tightly covered for several hours , before serving. It 1b delicious, as the bones are softened, and the flesh tender and Juicy from the vine gar in which it has lain. Tomato Pie for Luncheon. A recipe for a good luncheon dish is always acceptable. Here is one for tomato pie: To make it peel, blanch and slice a good-sized onion, and fry it in hot fat till slightly browned. Peel and slice one pound of tomatoes they will peel more thinly and easily if first plunged into boiling water or use one pound of canned tomatoes. Put a layer of the friend onion at the bottom of the pie dish, then a layer of tomato seasoned with salt and pepper, 1 and a layer of white bread crumbs with some tiny bits of butter here and there. Repeat these layers till the dish Is nearly full, then cover with a crust of boiled potatoes smoothly mashed up with milk and butter. Score the top with a fork and bake in a quick pven till delicately browned. Halibut a La Flamanade. Cover the bottom of a baking-dish with two tablespoonfuls each of minced onion and celery and one of parsley. Place on this tho fish, after dusting It with salt and pepper to taste and brushing with melted butter. Bake in a quick oven. Put two ta blespoonfuls of butter in a pan, add two of flour and mix; add one pint of cooked strained tomatoes aqd stir un til boiling; add one-half teaspoonful each of mace and white pepper. Strain this around the fish and serve with boiled potato balls basted with melted butter and dusted with minced pars ley. Woman s Home Companion. Using Lemon Rinds. Everyone will be glad to know of t way to save your lemon rinds after making lemonade. ' Remove as much as possible of the pith, cut the rinds In strips, with scissors, about one- quarter inch wide.

The whole amount should stand a week. Then strain through fine muslin. ; That is all there Is to It and you have the pure article with no coloring or flavoring and It Is a fine Bsence.

Including its latest acquisition, the bank has absorbed no less than 48 other banking houses since 1865, one of these dating back to 1677. The bank is represented in 45 out of 62. counties in England and Wales, and a subsidiary company was formed in 1911 to open a branch In Paris, an old French private banking house being taken over. In all, Lloyds bank now has 880 separate offices.
