Then Jumper'told him the whole story, how he had been sent to invite Buster to meet the other little people of the Green Forest, how Reddy Fox had tried to catch him, and then had been terribly frightened by the sudden appearance of Buster, and had run, and then how he (Jumper) had run. after him just for fun, and how all the little people were making fun of Reddy now, so that he was spending all his time trying to catch Jumper so as to get even.

Whitman 1 JUMPER THE HARE CONSULTS BUSTER BEAR , JUMPER THE HARE was sitting under a low growing hemlock tree deep in the Green Forest, where he could look out over the pond of Paddy the Beaver. Jumper was not feeling at all good that morning. No, sir; Jumper was feeling anything but good. In the first place, it was a long time since he had had a real good sleep. In the second place, he couldnt rest easily a minute even with' his eyes wide open. All the time he felt as if his heart might jump right up in his throat any minute. And it was all because Reddy Fox had set out to him to take him quickly out of danger, and then he remembered how Paddy the Beaver has to get his food on shore, or most of it anyway, and how slow and clumsy Paddy is out of the water. The more he thought of this the more ashamed he grew of the thoughts he had had of Old Mother Natures seeming unfairness and pretty soon he knew right down in his heart that he wouldnt change places with Paddy the Beaver if he could, not even to get rid of Reddy Fox. ' He was still thinking of this when a stick snapped a little way from him and his heart gave a great, frightened thump. You see, he had grown so anxious and nervous that he. whenever he heard a stick snap or a Oh, will you? That would be perleaf rustle he was sure it was Reddy fectly splendid cried Jumper. T. W.

There, shuffling along and muttering to himself, was Buster Bear. Jumper grinned. It was a very great relief to see Buster Bear instead of Reddy Fox. You see, Jumper ist the least bit afraid of Buster, because he kows he can keep out of his way. Buster knows it, too, and so he wastes no time trying to catch Jumper. Jumper hopped out and sat up in front of Buster Bear. Buster sat up, too. Very funny they looked as they faced each other, one so very big and one so small, and both sitting up in just the same way. Paddy the Beaver had to laugh as he looked across at them. said Jumper. Hello, Buster! How do you like the Green Forest? Busters little eyes twinkled as he grinned down at Jumper. Pretty well.

BARBER ky MArmERS OF Q SEASON IS HERE FOR MINCE PIES Newspapers COME people would ask you how you were if they happened to pass by when you were drowning. Hi, there. How are you? theyd say, with a broad grin and a cheery wave of the hand. Im drowning, youd answer. And ten to one (wanna bet?) theyd answer, Thats fine. They always do. Personally, we think the question, How are you? should be reserved for hospital and convalescent cases. But for tea parties and casual meet- - air-tig- am to have most foods ignore local seasons, there are certain dishes that I, for one, am glad are usually reserved for certain months of the year. Mince pie is an outstanding example of a dessert which belongs with cold weather. While pumpkin pie might well be 'served at any time of year, it still belongs among our cold weather desserts by custom whether it is of the custard type or that even more delicate chiffon pie. In a bygone day the making of mince meat in the early fall was just as common as fall pickling and preserving. .Today, most of us are content to buy one of the ready-to-us- e mixes which, however, we may like to make individual through the addition of candied cherries, nuts, canned fruit,' with bits of or some other liquor for brandy special flavor accent. It is a good idea to keep a covered jar in the refrigerator which may be gradually filled with any fruit of juice which remains after cherries, apricots, pineapple or other fruits have been served for dessert. This jar can be called upon to add additional flavor when the mince pie, is in the maked . left-ov- er good and rich. By the "way, have you seen the gorgeous chromium rolling pins which can be filled with ice? The metal and the ice between' them make it possible to roll rich pastry easily.

How Are You? how-are-y- ou -- Service. BOX furnaces, and often house heating boilers, it is very common to obtain running hot water through a coil or similar arrangement in the fire box. There are several' reasons why this does not work out. For one thing, the water in the heating coil absorbs heat so quickly that the nearby pdrt of the fire is deadened. The fire then bums unevenly, with a bad effect on the heating of the house. One of my correspondents writes to me of his experience in this connection. He had used a fire box coil for seven years, with poor luck, for several had burned out. On complaining to the maker of the heater, he was advised to substitute a separate coal burning stove for water heating. He .writes: I followed the advice, and shall never regret it. In the last hard winter, I heated the house with two tons less of furnace coal, which I attribute entirely to the removal of the water heating coil from the furnace. I burn small coal in my water heating stove, but at less cost and in less quantity. I find it much easier to keep my furnace at househeating efficiency. The house has been comfortable all winter; warmer than any of my neighbors, and with less fuel consumption. The theory of the furnace maker seems proven. It takes so many heat units to heat a house, and so many to heat hot water. If you use some of the heat units in the furnace' for water, they are not being used for the house. The fire gets lopsided; hot on one side and cool on the other, greatly decreasing the efficiency. That theory is entirely sound. A furnace is supposed , to be of the proper size for a particular house, and if some of the heat produced in it is taken away from house heating to use for heating water, there is less left for the real purpose.. There is another reason against the use of a fire box coil. The water cannot be prevented from overheating; as a result, steam is formed, and the water may be discolored by the throwing down of sediment. Steam in the hot .water pipes causes unpleasant rumbling noises. What is more serious, there is a possibility that the excess pressure may burst the hot water tank. This is so common that plumbing and heating ordinances usually require that such systems be provided with an automatic relief- valve to blow off steam. g stove should bd" A of such size and so arranged that the fire will need attention but once a day. In addition,; it should be provided with a damper regulator that will shut off the draft when the water reaches the desired temperature usually 140 degrees. This is plenty hot enough for all household uses, while at the same time it is too low a temperature to produce much, if any, sediment. WITH der or brandy. This recipe makes seven pints mince meat.

Farmers Cut Expenses by Using Milo in Feed Many farmers are planning to use milo grain in their feeding rations this fall and winter because it is considerably cheaper than corn and about equal to it for most classes of livestock except hogs. Milo, one of the' grain sorghums, closely resembles corn in composition even though it is somewhat lower in fat and slightly higher in protein, says H. B. Osland, associate in animal investigations for Colorado State College Experiment station at Fort Collins... When fed to hogs, milo is worth 91 per cent of the value of com. Milo should be properly supplemented with tankage. Grinding is Grinding inusually advisable. creased its value 41 per , cent when fed to cattle in a Texas experiment.. Steers fed kafir, which is similar in feeding value to milo, gained 2.18 pounds per head daily, on a ratio that also contained protein supplement, hay and cane and corn silage, Tests in several states show milo equal to corn for fattening lambs, but grinding milo does not pay when it is fed to sheep. If it is fed to dairy cattle, however, milo must be ground, Osland A Kansas experiment reports. shows that milo is approximately equal to corn as a feed for dairy cattle. . - - ed Around the Farm , Matured sugar cane contains per cent sugar. - 18 Wheat provides the principal food d of the total population of of the world. -- cup sugar Vi. teaspoon salt Vi cup hot water 3 tablespoons rum 4 egg whites, beaten stiff Vi cup sugar Whipped cream Nutmeg Soak gelatin in cold water.

Selection on the basis of body weight among pullets which are uniformly healthy unfortunately has but little value in respect to the number of eggs laid per year. "In case the poultryman has an excess of healthy pullets, however, he might still profitably discard the smallest birds for two reasons. In the first place there is a relationship between body weight and egg weight. In other words, the small pullets will tend to produce the smallest eggs during the year. In the second place, it has been observed in flocks bred for high egg production that there is a slight tendency for the large birds to show higher livability during the pullet year. fact that It is a the poultryman doing his own breeding should at all times avoid small body size when, choosing birds for the breeding pens. The reason for such selection is that body size is inherited, and by eliminating small birds from the breeding pen the body size of the entire flock soft-shell- Vi teaspoon mace SA teaspoon cloves teaspoon allspice ' Vi tablespoon salt . 1 pound brown sugar 1. quart cider , Cover meat with boiling water and simmer until tender.
