A LESSON IN MILK DRINKING.

Few people know there is good way
and a bad way of drinking milk. The
bad way is that which they generally
follow, viz: to swallow large quantity
at once. When milk goes into the stom-
ach it is instantly curdled, and if it is
curdled into one great mass, the juices
of the stomach can work on only the
outside of it. This is the reason that
many people who like milk, and to whom
it should be of the utmost benefit, can
not drink it. They say it gives them in
and they are right. Let them
give it another chance. But this time
they must sip it slowly, not taking more
than good teaspoonful at one sip, and
taking at least four minutes to finish the

take some presents from a friend of

mother on the old homestead. The car
was pretty full and l had to make room
on my seat for a farmers wife with a
big basket of groceries. She apologized
for crowding me, and was rash enough
to say that did not mind it. all. That

STRANGE CONFUSION OF 1DENr1r1E

Several men were sitting in restau-
rant the other day, when one of them
said:
There's a man over there who is look
ing at me and talking about me, too. l
can tell by his meaning glances."
Shortly after he said this man got up
and came across the room to the group.
Pardon me-" he said to the person
who had noticed that he was the object
of attention, "but have just made a
bet and it rests with you to decide it, 1
have bet friend S. that you are George
Walters of Louisville, KY, and you are,
aren't you?"
'No, 1 am not" was the answer given
with laugh, but the disclaimers face
was dyed with crisom flush.
''Do you mean to say that you are not
George Walters?"
81 certainly am not, and my friends
here, who all know me well, will testify
to that"
"Well, would have bet every cent l
had in the world on it," said the sur
prised questioner, and, offering an apol-
ogy, he walked back, handed over So to
his friend and sat down."
"Now," said the man who had been
taken for George Walters, 'there is
something remarkable in the way in
which people confuse me with another
man. In the first place l want to tell
you that this Walters is one of the most
notorious swindlers and blacklegs in
Kentucky. have seen him out there
and there really isn't the slightest re-
semblance between our appearance, save
that we are both tall, both smooth
shaver and both have that pallor which
in dark compilations is rather striking.
Now suppose have been taken for
him hundred times and have often
had difficulty in proving to people that
am not the fellow. One time when l
was in Louisville was stopped by a
policeman.
"'Hello, Walters he said, you are
back again, are you?'
"'Yes, I'm back, said lightly, but /
don't happen to be Walters
"'Oh, now!' said the policeman.
"'You don't believe me, thenp' l
asked.
"'Of course 1 DON'T he said.
"'But l am not Walters insisted.
"'See here said the policeman, get
ting angry, you needn't think that l am
trying to get you to pay that $40 you owe
me. 1 don't care rap about that, so
you needn't deny your identity to get
out of settling that. You're Walters. l
know you are, and what's the use of ly-
ing about it?'
81 could not convince that policeman
that was not Walters, and yet, as l say,
if we were both seen together, no one in
all the world could say that we looked
alike, which all goes to prove that most
people make only two pairs of distinc-
ton between appearances OF mental

In turning horse out to pasture,
never brighten him and make him run
away from you by striking him with the
halter or bride and yelling at him. This
is mean, heartless habit and is sure to
make horse hard to catch.
1t is one of the greatest commercial
outrages of the times that while farmers
are getting so little out of cattle city
consumers are paying so near war prices
for their beef.
Care of pigs begins with intelligent
attention to the SOW, whose health de-
termines largely the success of the forth
coming litter. Several months before
the sows farrow they should be given
clean, warm quarters.

curdled up by itself when passed into

becomes assimulated. One of Ithe best

to deprive it of much of the sweetness
