of which receives a prize, supposedly
given by Her Majesty, and becomes
known thereafter as the Queens prize

was the week upon which the Chris

other day the head member Of a firm

me into his private Office and showed
me book on dogs, telling how to-

to do for the mango, how to tell mas

cyclopedia, bound in cloth and sold at
a popular price. The moment set
eyes on that book I saw great posi-
bilities in it. II knew from bitter ex-
perience that nearly every one kept a
dog, and no matter what kind Of a
cross-eyed purp it might be the owner

tioning the head member of the firm
to keep the presses going so there
would be no possible chance Of short
age, I. started out to place the great
work before the public. The first
house that I struck my hopes received
a sudden chill. I was no sooner in
the yard than a big dog came tearing
around the corner of the house and
made for me. There was only one
thing to do and did it. made for a
tree that was near and managed to
get out of the way before the beast ar
rived. AS he showed no desire to
leave, 1 yelled for help. A man came
to the door and after calmly looking
the situation over asked what

again and said it was time that Tige

The Professor and the Hat.


A college professor went into a
crowded restaurant in New York city
for luncheon one hot day last sum-
mer. The negro in charge of the big
corridor took the professors hat and
gave no check for it in return. An
hour later, when the professor came
out of the sdining-room, the negro
glanced at him and handed him his
hat. The negro's ability to remember
to whom each article Of clothing be-
longed struck the professor as being
something very wonderful. ..How did
you know this was my hat?'' he
asked. 81 didn't know it, sah," was
the reply. ..Then why did you give
it to me?" the professor persisted.

When large swine, averaging 1856
pounds in weight at the beginning Of
the experiment and 275 pounds at its
close, were fed frozen wheat, 524
pounds g Y were required for 100 pounds

time, with a like lot Of large swine,

OF equal parts by weight of No. IS

In a second test, feeding pigs that
averaged 81 pounds each until they
reached an average weight of l45s
pounds each, 100 pounds Of increase In
live weight were obtained from 1888
pounds Of frozen wheat. The pork
was considered excellent, much supe-
rior to that Of hogs fed on peas alone.
"A both trials the frozen wheat was
ground and soaked fer twelve hours
before feeding. One hundred pounds
Of frozen wheat was found equal to 79t

Man and the lower animals are sub
ject to the same general laws of health.
In the case of man it is becoming more
and more recognized every year that
pure food, pure water and pure air are
necessary for health. We seem hard
ly yet to have awakened to the fact
that the same is true of our domestic
animals. Filth is the great harbor OF
disease germs, and filth may reach the
vital organs or blood of the animal
through the water, the food and the
air. A little over two years ago q
fatal disease broke out on dairy farm
near Chicago, and investigation showed
that the only possible reason for its
presence was the flthiness Of the prem
ises. Cleanliness and health are allies,
and this fact should be recognized by
every dairyman. .5.1s .*5
