"Massage treatment Of tho region
affected, he said "will beat'paint and
raw beefsteak all hollow. But it should
be applied Immediately after the in
Jury is received in order to prove
thoroughly eficacious. It does not
require an expert 20 do it. All that
is necessary is to move the fingers
rapidly and firmly over the bruised
surface, and to keep it up until the
last vestige of discoloration has dis
appeared. The explanation ia easy.
Where the blow has been received the
blood becomes congested 1t is the
clots of blood showing through the
transparent skin that produces the
black effect. The pressure of the
fingers gradually loosens the clotted
blood, which passes off into the gem
eral current of circulation, and fresh
and properly colorod blood takes its
place"
However, as a rule, tho professional
''pug" does not bother himself about
accelerating the disappearance of a
black eye. II is n sign which pro-
claims the fact that its proprietor has
recently filled an engagement, and as
such he is an object of envy to his
less fortunate brethren. II is the
man town, whose overindulgence
occasionally causes him to forget that
discretion is the better part of valor,
who is apt to profit most by the
knowledge that massage, promptly APP
piled, will remove the signs of mourn
ing from an eye that has been in vio-
lent contact with some other fellows

inventing story to account for it,
which, however ingenious, will be
sneered at by sceptical and incredulous

PROTECTION ron SMALL ANIMALS.

F, If large and small cattle or hogs are
fed and housed together the smaller
animals will hardly thrive. They will
be whipped away from the trough and
get less than their share of the food;
and they will be driven around or
from the shelter, and the large ami
mails will scarcely profit from the mis-
fortunes of their smaller fellows, as
driving the others from feed and
shelter will 'work off a good part of
the flesh from the extra feed. Some
times the smaller animals are seriously
injured and in the larger animals is
developed a quarrelsome disposition
that is not desirable, to say the least.
Yet other considerations make it q
bad plan to confne small and large
animals in the same enclosure. Much
better results will be secured by put
ting only few animals in the same
enclosure, and those of the same size.

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

The Poultry Monthly tells of a man
who paid 1926 for one pair of pigeons
recently.
Warm water two or three times
day in the coolest weather helps solve
the egg problem.
There is hardly breed of fowls to.
day that does not have its counterpart
in the bantam class.
An old horse dealer says: "If you
want to buy a horse, don't believe
your own brother"
Don't wait until you build the big
barn before sheltering the cows. Build
the shelter for them and they will
help you build the barn.
Breed well, and when you have o
heifer calf as the result OF such breed
ing feed well and train properly, and
you will have good COW.
Don't regard milch cattle solely as
machines, but remember that they
have some flesh and blood about them
that merits appropriate treatment.
There is no better crop for the WIN
ter feeding of sheep than oats and
peas mixed. 1t is very. nutritious,
and is eaten with avidity by the
sheep.
Feed milk to the swine warm, and in
troughs that are free from ice or filth.
Add something to make up the loss of
butter fat, such as a little corn or
barley meal.
Give carrots, turnips and other
juicy root feeds to horses plentifully
in winter. They will vary the monot-
ony of equine hard tack and they are
excellent for the digestion.
Give the fowls some litter to scratch
in. They will amuse themselves if you
only give them the necessary play
things, and busy hen generally
means healthy and laying one.
A pig is a pig till it is a year old.
Then it becomes hog. In classifca-
tion of fairs, however, when premium
is offered for SOW and pigs, it is un-
derstood that the pigs are to be under
six months old.
The exact temperature for loosening
the hair from the skin of pig at
butchering is 1S0 degrees. The pig
should remain a full minute in the
water at this temperature to give
time for the hair to be loosened.
The swine will respond in profit
able way just as promptly TO good
treatment as do the cows to good care
If, at tie same time, the pigs have
dry, warm, healthful quarters, they
will grow as fast as in summer on
clover.
PORK represents money, Just the
same as butter does, and if there is a
chance to make it out of the casein OF
milk, it should surely be done. With
this in view, don't let your skinned
milk freeze, nor let it sour or ferment
in filthy tub or barrel.
In the East, at least, the pig pen is
natural concomitant of the dairy.
Through the utter neglect given to
these animals on many farms, pigs
cannot be successfully bed, and
every spring they must be purchased
of more painstaking breeders.
The bearing of a few berries out of
the season does not entitle fruit to
the name of ever-bearing, yet most
ever bearers seldom do more than
this. They are delusion and dis.
appointment; the ever bearing rasp.
berry and strawberry for instance.

FEEDING POTATOES TO SHEEP.

There is no doubt of the value of
the potato for feeding to sheep, but
as this animal has but a weak diges-
tion, 1t will be advisable to cook
the potatoes for them, and add bran
to the food. The starch of the potato
is very indigestible when raw, and, as,
by cooking, the cells in which the
starch is contained are broken, and
the starch granules are swollen and
burst by the expansion caused by the
heat, the food thus prepared is fully
and easily digested. There is more
TO be learned by experience in the
management of sheep than from
science, for this animal is peculiar and
always will be, and thus the results of
feeding other animals upon certain
foods do not apply to sheep. So that
it is wise, when one has got a good
feeding ration for a flock, to avoid
changing it, unless by the most care
ful preliminary experiments. But ex-
perience has shown that potatoes,
boiled until they are mealy, in conse-
quence of the rupture of the starch,
cells, and fed with the usual ration of
bran-a pound for each full grown
sheep-with a quart of potatoes not
broken up, have been both digestible
and nutritious-New York Times.

aRooNuNa roR TIE cows.

Horses have much more often been
made pets than COWS have been. So
far as grooming goes the average COW
gets very little of it except what she
can do herself by rubbing her shoul-
ders and neck against the sides of the
stable in which she Is confined. Try
a curry comb and brush on the COW
as well rs on the horse. Unless the
COW is very thin the curry comb will
be liked even better than the brush.

THE oxALIs.

Plants continually in blossom and
requiring the least care give the most
satisfaction, especially when they
bloom during the dreary months Of
winter, says Mrs. @. +. Underwood.
The oxalis is the most useful, all round
window plant in cultivation, being so
hardy it requires bat a short rest and
its bright green clover-like foliage is
seldom injured by sudden changes of
temperature. If partially frozen, Il
dash of cold water will restore it's
beauty. The mammoth oxalis has
snowy foliage but not the hardy quail
titles of the smaller variety and has
less profusion of bloom. The beauti.
full, delicate, star-shape1 flowers
surprise one daily. They delight in
sunshine and turn toward it and for
this reason are frequently used as a
window hanging plant. Its dropping
stems are graceful on a small stand as
a sitting room ornament. The pink
blossom is more common, the pure
white and yellow being rare. For
soil, chip dirt fertilized with common
liquid manure, or rich garden soil, is
adaptable, the tubeTs being planted
an inch below the surface. Give fire.
quent showerings The common wood
sorrel is a similar plant, easily potted
and made TO thrive, and hard to dis
tinguish from the cultivated variety.

CONSUMPTION OF WHEAT.

The use of wheat for stock food
complicates the difficulty of determin-
ing the consumption OF this grain. 1t
is calculated that in the West forty
per cent. of the hogs are being sup
piled this grain and that it is being also
fed in large quantities to all other
classes of stock. The practice is
spreading in the East in many Sec
tions, SO that it would appear that the
farmers have themselves solved the
question what to with their surplus
wheat.
Wheat certainly is superior to corn
for growing animals, as it contains
about thirty per cent. more protein,
or tissue-building matter, than corn.
On the other hand, corn produces fat
and is the better food for finishing off
animals. The two grains are not
yeally rivals. The one serves as
complement of the other. Farmers
will do well to study the feeding ques-
tion and learn how wheat can be most
profitably converted into animal pro
ducts. New York World.

Cotton Wool in the NostriIs.

Says DR.. L. P. Mann in the Pacific
Medical Journal: Abundant expert
ment long ago demonstrated that cot.
ton wool was capable of arresting
germinal matter with which the air is
filed. By placing within the nostriJs,
out of sight, thin pledget of cotton,
not sufficiently dense to interfere with
free inspiration, the air may be greatly
purified. The cotton Immediately be-
comes moistened during expiration,
which adds materially to its efficiency
as filter. That, thus placed, it will
arrest dust, particles of SCOT, etc., may
be easily shown by introducing the
pledgets, and then, after an hours
walk through the streets, removing
them, when they will be found black
ened and soiled. Microscopical ex-
animation diseloses quite museum
of germinal matter. Prominent among
the displays are found various forms
of catarrhal and bronchial secretion
that have been desiccated and pulver-
lied by passing feet, thus liberating
the germs which, planted upon con-
genial soil, will produce catarrh to
order"

Food AdulterntiOn.

A recent Washington dispatch says
the Consul at Annaberg has reported
to the Department of State the result
of the investigations conducted by the
Society for the Prevention of the
Adulteration of Food in Saxony, show
ing that of 715 analyses made by the
chemist of the asso station, 12S, or
l7.9 per cent, showed Objectionable
adulterations. OF nine samples OF
American dried fruits examined, eight
we're found Objectionable. The fruit
had nice white color, but, as they
we're dried on zinc plates, they con-
tanned the injurious substances of that
metal. While in former years they
we're freely admitted to the market,
their sale has been prohibited during
the past year.
Oil of citron contained only an in
significant per cent. of the real oil,
the balance being other ingredients
and alcohol. Butter, particularly that
from Austrian dealers, contained CO.
coanut oil, sesame oil, tallow, etc.
Textile fabrics we're dyed with pois-
onous colors and wool stuffs showed
cotton admixtures mp to eighty-tive
per cent. Spices with which meats
had been prepared contained tlnnin,
and sausages contained living para
sites. Fruit juices were colored with
chemicals. A sample of coffee was
found to be impregnated with animal
refuse. Rye flour was adulterated
with rice flour, and buckwheat with
starch. Bran was a composition of
wheat and rye, bran, sand dust and
mite eggs. Olive oil was found to be
nothing but grape seed oil perfumed
with rosemary oil, the adulteratiou
being so carefully done that expert
enced merchants could not detect it.
