Tick Free Pastures.

Some Of the calves born of immune
cows escape tick infestation and con
sequently escape incubation. When
full grown. or several years old, they
may be taken into q tick infested pas
ture or the ticks may be brought to
them by introducing new cattle into
the herd. Then they may die Of Texas
fever. Many farms in Alabama are
tick free, many town lots are tick free,
parts Of many farms and pastures are
tick free. consequently cattle that are
bred and raised in such tick free places
are susceptible to Texas fever. Tick
free lots, pastures and farms are 80
made by keeping all cattle OFF them for
one or more years. by rotation Of crops
and pastures, by burning the grass, by
killing all the ticks on the home cat
tie, by stock law all the year round and
by introducing no new cattle without
first completely Kidding them of ticks.
Ticks do not travel any great distance
% few feet only except when upon
their host. BY themselves ticks will
rarely, il ever. cross road sixty feet
wide. Hence tick infested and tick
free farm may be very near each other
and remain In that condition, providing
cattle and horses are not permitted to
60 from one farm to the other except
when these farm animals are free OF

FILIPINO NAMES.
Many Have Their Origin Explained
by Fanciful Legends.

Many Filipino names have had their
origin explained by fanciful legends
and traditions. Every name has a
meaning.
JarO is called by uneducated Visa
vans SalOg. which means cup. The leg
end which purports to give the deriya-
ton of this name dates back to the
time when the monkeys and parrots
ruled the islands. Once there was a
great drought, and there was no place
where water was to be found In all
the mountains. So scouts were sent
out to look for water. and they tray-
eled many miles until they came to a
spot where the river flowed all the
year and where food was always plen-
~. They took a cup Of water to prove
their find and.went back to their COM
panions. who journeyed to the water
and called the place SalOg, or cup.
When the babes adopted by the mon
keys after the slaughter at IloilO grew
up and possessed the land. they re-
tanned the name.
Lyncod in Visayan means "sit down"
The town Of Lyncod. thirty miles from
IlOilO, Is said to have received its name
because the first settlers were climbing
the mountain when they became tired
and said, LET US sit down" They sat
down where the town now stands and
found the place 50 agreeable that they
remained and built the'town.

People often wax impatient because
express trains cannot be stopped at
some unimportant little station at
which they wish to alight. They should
consider the cost Of satisfying their
within. A train going at rate Of sixty
miles an hour can be stopped within
100 yards from the first application OF
the brake. Now, enough power Is lost
to carry this same train fifteen miles
over a plane surface. First there Is
the momentum acquired by the train
flying at this remarkable rate of speed,
then the loss Of steam In applying the
brakes and lastly the extra amount OF
coal to compensate for all these losses.

would not care to pay.

plumb line is made fast. The plumb
bob, like mason's plumb bob, hangs
In q hole, so that when B ID is vertical
the string hangs very near the surface

the angles at D are true right angles.
The dimensions of the triangle may
be about as follows: A G. II feet long;
A B, about feet inches; G B, about
10 feet; B d, about 6 feet long. Other

scale Of feet marked off on A G..
In marking on the board B d the
line In which the plumb line will hang
when A G Is exactly horizontal cOnsid-
cradle care is required. Two pegs are
driven into the ground as far apart as
A and G for these points to rest on.
The highest one Is driven into the
ground until the plumb line follows
about the center line of the board b ID.
Having marked this position Of the
plumb line, the triangle is reversed so
that the end B rests on the peg where
before we had the end c. and vice
versa Should the plumb line make an
angle with the first line marked on the
board, then the correct position Will be
exactly in the middle between these
two lines. This point should be per-
manently marked on the board b d.
In using the triangle when the plumb
line passes through this point the base
Of the triangle will be level.

Potatoes that have been kept by
banking with earth should not be dis.
turbed In the spring until about the
last of April. They may then be taken
from the bank and may be stored In q
cellar or a dark corner Of the barn un-
til about one week before planting
time. Then they should be spread upon
the ground where they will be fully ex-
posed to the sunlight. This will cause
the buds to make strong, vigorous
growth, which is not broken of when
the tubers are planted. Permitting the
buds thus to start greatly facilitates
growth after planting. The Cornell N.
~ station has found this method OF
procedure to work well. much better
than when seed tubers are stored In
cellars or where they are banked Inn
mediately after digging.

why Boiled Water Freezes Easily

Water which Is hot Of course cannot
freeze until 1t has parted with its heat;
but water that has been boiled will,
other things being equal. freeze sooner
than water which has not been boiled.
A slight disturbance Of water dispOses
II to freeze more rapidly. and this Is
the cause which accelerates the freez'
ing OF boiled water. The water that
has been boiled has lost the air natu-
rally contained In 1t. which on exposure
to the atmosphere 1t begins again to
attract and absorb. During this proc
ess Of absorption a motion Is neces-
sarily produced among It's particles,
slight certainly and imperceptible, yet
probably sufficient to accelerate Its
congelation. In unboiled water this
disturbance does not exist; indeed,
water when kept perfectly still can be
reduced several degrees below the
freezing point without its becoming
ice

The blue smock of the butcher, says

curiosity. The color was originally
adopted by the guild Of butchers In the
middle ages at n time when each trade
had It's distinguishing color; but, while
Other guilds dropped their cOlors. butch
crs stuck to blue because blood stains
are less noticeable upon that color than
upon airy other. At very early period
blue was the universal wear Of serving
men. 1t was then the cheapest OF dyes.

window There was a train in the sta

rast the ticket-chopper, carefully drop
rirg his IS cents in the box. Waving
his tickle! in the air, he made dash for
the train. AS he put his foot on the
platform Of the car the gate was shut
in his face, knocking him sprawling up
ON his back as the train rolled away.
The ticket chopper and several others
on the platform rui'hed to his assistance
and helped him to his feet.

here comes another train after being
assured that the anxious passenger was
